The prnssians to Winter In France—
The Fall of Metz«
Tho Cologne Gazette, one of the leading
journals or Rhenish Prussia, in a recent arti
cle sets forth the following programme for the
coming winter as likely to be carried out by the
Prussian army:
' As no signs exist that would justify us in sup-
nosing the French will soon form a Government
£ith which a peace might be concluded, with a
* certain prospect of its remaining in force for
the future; os chaos reigns in France, and to all
SDDearanco will continue to do so for 6omo time
to come, the German General Staff, as we hear,
seriously contemplate tho plan of wintering in
the conquered parts of France, even in case
Paris should bo taken. The irregular square,
one side of which is formed by the Oberhem
from Basel onwards, and the other by a line
‘ from Paris to the Belgian frontiers, will, we are
told, he occupied by a force of from three to
four hundred thousand men, while the remain
ing troops would, for the time, return home.
This plan is based on the supposition that Metz
will surrender during October.
All the signs, r.s we interpret them, seem to
point to the indefinite continuance of the war.
The fall of Metz does not, in our judgement,
hasten peace one hour. We believe the French
peoplo will view that catastrophe only os an
additional incentive to renewed exertions, and a
nioro implacable determination never to yield.
We suppose Paris will fall eventually—the
devil of starvation fighting for the Prussians—
but even Paris in tho hands of the invaders will
not croak the French spirit now so folly
aroused, If wo are to judge from the grand
uprising af parently going on all over France,
the people have made np their minds never to
make peace on Prussian terms. They say they
may ho annihilated, and their country turned
into a desert waste, bnt that what the Prussians
get they will get at the point of the bayonet
and the muzzle of the cannon— not by formal
fcunender in an authorized treaty.
The French people seem to have resolved to
take the Spaniards in the days of the First Na
poleon, for their model. Spain was so com-
pletly overrun by the Emperor’s soldiers, that
there was ecatcely a town or village left in
Spanish possession. The Spanish army was
completely dispersed and demoralized, and only
the guerillas fired a ehot or thrust a bayonet
against the invaders. But they did not despair,
much less yield. By tho aid of the English, they
finally chased the French across the Pyrenuees
' and their country was saved. France can look
for no help now from ary quarter, hut she is
Btil strong in men, money, credit, and reso
lution. The disparity between her strength
and Prussia's, is not ne ;r so great ns was that
of the Spaniards and English combined against
the French in the Peninsular war. Judged by
that precedent, sto can continue the war indef
initely. Whether her resolution to do so is
fixed or not, and whether tho Prussians con af
ford to engage in such a protracted, costly and
wasting warfare, are questions the future must
determine.
It seems very clear to us, however, that net
ther the fall of Metz nor of Paris will, of them-
select, if the French are really in earnest, hast
en peace. The spirit of the French people
must break down before that consummation is
reached. That, at least in such a war as this,
is the strongest citadel

You in Georgia may fancy that you have a
great deal longer seasons than most people, bnt
I’ll bet you a sixpence that your sweet potato
vines are as much discolored from the frost as
those about Norfolk and Baltimore. I will en
gage, under penalty of forfeiting a good cigar,
to produce a greener garden in Baltimore than
you can show in Macon. I saw splendid patches
of green cane just below Weldon, and np to the
Susquehannah river, just as green sweet potato
patches os you could show this 25th day of Oc
tober, 1870. I saw the last cotton patch in Vir
ginia twenty miles above Weldon, on the Sea
board and Roanoke railroad, and it lacked no
great deal of being the best I had seen daring
the season. In short, up to Philadelphia the
weather seems as mild and the frost as scarce as
in Georgia.
But the woods have pnt on their lively autumn
tints, nevertheless. Nature is in her loveliest
attire. Some worship the fickle beauties of the
spring; but nature takes her most glorious robes
in Indian summer. She charms most with her
splendor, while she delights with her generous
bounty. She is most attractivo as a matron
and not as a coy, fickle and fruitless maiden.—
So, then, let us see her 03 she walks forth in
glorious apparel of crimson, purple, yellow,
green, orange and gold—scattering with liberal
band the choicest trophies of Pomona and
Cores.
J am just now on the New Jersey Railroad,
sliding along at the rate of about thirty miles
an hour. The fields on either side, which yon
know are a good deal more level than many
house floors, show livoly patches of wheat,'
turnips, beets, cabbages and many othor garden
products. Corn fields have been stripped of
yellow grain and it lies in heaps already shacked
pud waiting to be hauled to the granary. Al
most all this com is a deep yellow. The North
ern farmer does not sympathize with him of
the West and South in tho passion for white
com. He wants bis com bread to look yellow
end rich like his batter and not to he made of
fine-ground meal, so as to be solid andclammy.
Give him his corn muffins well mixed with sweet
fresh croam and plenty of eggs, with a dash of
sugar and good thorough baking, and yon may
have your fine white, meal Your bannock looks
like it had chills and fever, and his muffin is a
chunk of royal gold. Yellow meal all the time
to a tasteful cook.

The Surrender or Metz. .
New Yobk, Ootober 28.—A Tribune special
says: “Before Metz on the 2Gfh inst., the
commandant of the city informed Bazaine that
he could supply his army with no more provi
sions and they must shift for themselves.
Bazaine then ordered his outposts to cease fir
ing, and allowed his men to desert in squads.
The Prussians refused to receive large bodies
of deserters as prisoners. A message was sent
to Prince Charles intimating an intention to
surrender. This was the first proposition ever
made to surrender the fortress. The Prussian
troops, who were massing at Gravelo'to to
prevent the escape of the army, were ordered
to retire. Matters at noon, to-day, were so
far advanoed that the second corps received
orders to maToh for Paris. In the meantime,
the French camps are quiet and there are no
disturbances. None of tho troop3 suspected the

THE HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES

This Body -
Received its equelchment from the hands of

Wtiom it served, “Not wisely, bnt too Well"
For the State’s good
Bom of Dc-spoiism,
It was a true chip of tha parent block.
it
Will be forever luminous in the
. PHOSPHORESCENCE OP EOTIESNESS.
It lived
But as the tool of partisan villainy,
And its disdained dissolution
Came most fittingly
Through the agency
Cf the power that despised while using it,
And contemptuously killed it
The moment its subserviency
Ceased to be
profitable.
Ransacked History
Can show no parallel to this Hybrid
for

For words of wickedness,
That it can never be thoroughly written.

It has been as destructive as the

An incongruous heap

Broken laws, -
Debris of a shattered Constitution,
Outrages upon liberty and sacred law.
Shameless scoopings into the Pnblio Treestny,
Wild havoc with every interest of the State,
Reckless trifling with the vital public credit.
And a rubbish pile of the
Worst Partisan Deviltry,
That
Political malignity aided by human
imbecility,
Could abort.

Still holds its banefal session
To carry out Executive behest*,
