On Sunday, on Monday and on Tuesday of this week there were many who thought that the account of French defeats and of Prussian successes must in some way have been exaggerated. It was natural for French sympathizers to doubt. It was natural for Prussian sympathizers to believe.

But it was not unnatural for a large number, who were neither German nor French, to say, "Truth lies half way, and we must Day after day, however, the news accumulated, and, while we write, it ia no longer possible to doubt that the fighting on Saturday last was on a grand scale, that Prussia was gloriously successful and that France was ignominionsly defeated. On the right and on the left centre the French wero found unequal to the foe. The right and the left wings of the Fieneh army have retreated; ths retreat has made necessary the retirement of the French ceatra on Metz; and while France, all along her line, falls back, Prussis, all along her line, moves forward. Strasbourg is left dependent on her garrison. So is Thionville.

Napoleon, it "is said, has found his way back to Paris. The Prince Imperial, it is said, has arrived in London. France still boasts, but retreats. Prussia is sSll reticent, but moves forward. Whatever may be the final issue of this war all the world must admit that Napoleon has most miserably played the rle of Gajsar.

He is xinrfaestion- ably a great diplomatist and not a lad politician but he is cot a soldier. As there is no longer any question about the oernal results of the war so far as the war has other questions demand consideration. How does France bear defeat? is the next most mportant question. The answer is conveyed us by every cable despatch. It bears it adly.

So far as Napoleon is concerned, so ar as his dynasty 5s concerned, it could not ear it worse. Paris is in a s'ate of complete emoralizatioa. Hundreds ot tradesmen offer defend it. But the Ollivier Ministry has eea voted down, aud ia the Corps Legislatif proposal has been openly made that Tapoleon be deposed. A Dictatorship under General Trochn is spoken of.

The Chambers, ecording to our latest accounts, presented a scene of the wildest confusion-- wilder than ever did the Ecumenical wilder than our wildest trard Members, despairing of tho poorer of the tongue, had actually resorted to the weight of the flst. The wildest scenes of the ever memorable and worthless Directory have againbeen repeated. Outside the Chambers confusion was worse confounded. It was necessary to chaige upon the mob but after -every charge the mob rpformed. So ungrateful was the duty of the preservers of order that the National Guard throw down their arms and fraternized with the populace.

In the capital of France matters could not bo worse, and the serious question now is whether France will any longer tolerate Napoleon. Ed- nmBd Abouf testimony from ths field of bit- tie may be wicked: but it cliimes in marvel- lous'y well with the testimony of all sensible men. He blames the Emperor for declaring war aud yet allowing Prussia to take the initiative. He Watnea lb.e Eoiperor for delay when moments might have determined the tide of victory. In tho Emperor, tr mere, cannot be hapny.

The ferment is great, ominous, destructive bul, Napoleon mow than France has reason to be afraid. If tbe armies of King William toep together, hand this morning, report tho formation of a new French Cabinet, embracing some rery distinguished men, both in war and Gnance, noted for their adhesion and services to the Bonapartes. In the Legislature the tide of feeling-appeared to have turned in favor of tho war. Money" supplies for war purposes were freely voted and a gratuitous individual defiance offered to Prussia, Extraordinary news may reach us quite unexpectedly both from Paris and London. Tha Health of Our City.

Even in the comparative absence of contagious diseases the extreme heats of the season have directly caused numerous deaths and have left the public health peculiarly exposed to those dread forms of sickness which are generated by filth and bad veililation. To these latter agents the report of City Saniiary Inspector Morris ascribes the increase in the number of cases of relapsing, fever. There were thirty-five cases of this dangerous disease during the week ending August against twenty-two during the preceding week. Inspector Morris reports, however, but six cases of smallpox against eleven during the previous seven days. The street cleaning aulborilies, hare voted themselves an augmentation of pay and privileges, might well also'deter- mine upon redoubling their vigflanee in attending to their duties.

It is a sigoificant fact that without an epidemic, and although so many of our citizens are out of town, the death rate, which at this season usually averages four hundred, has swollen to twelve hundred. The column of deaths recorded in the HEEAID has grown to BD alarming length. And now that the yellow fever has made its appearance in the neighboring city of Philadelphia, as an immediate consequence of a violation of quarantine regulations, it becomes the duty of "our Board of Health to see to it that our owa quarantine regulations ars enforced more strictly than ever, Perth Amboy io the contrary notwithstanding. Every precaution should be taken to preserve the health of our city dining the rest of this protracted heated term. THS NAIHAN IsTESTiaAiiox was loteresting- yesterday.

The two sous of the murdered man were on the s'aad-- Washington to mate some additions to his previous testimony and Frederick to, tell bis story for the time. The latter tras apparently the last jOfirson except the murderer who spoko to his jfather that night. the sons agree that a 'noise, some one moving about, was heard ia the room above, occupied by Kelly ar, tie time Washington discovered the dead body.

very respectable Accord is that of the-Sscsetary of ihe Republican Executive Congressional Committee, which jfa alleged to have, been testimony WasMngton. The" items in the record are, VlUmiasal from tie army for cowardice, misap- ppropriatloa of ftmSs and condact unbecoming offlloer and a gentleman.

He was trying' to ran hia hounds down too and, In -the of they toned upoa Mm and rizh tore him to if they are not over anxious to make victory final, there ara forces ia tha rear of Napoleon which make their victory certain, if not easy. France has submitted to Napoleon because Napoleon has given France prosperity. Paria likes Bonapartism because Bonapaitism has made Paris beautiful, lich, the centre of European lifp, the fashionable capital of the world. Frenchmen, however--Parisians not excepled--love Napoleon for ths results he has produced, not for himself. So lone as he is useful he will be popular.

Whenever he ceases to bs useful his popularity will die. No one is so alive to this fact as himself. Success has bssn the god of his idolatry, sujcess in the Crimean war made him; success in his Italian campaign Hived him. Iu his rile of Caaar he lad done well. He had succeeded his uncle; he had shown political, military and even literary capacity.

Why should he not attempt again? He did attempt, but this time the attempt has been a terrific failure. As maliers now stand we shall not be surprised if Napoleon elsonld abdicate before Monday first, ilonday fjrst is his file day. If he does not wij a great figlst between now and the 15th his game is up. The enemy in the rsar wili be so strong that Prussia will haye an easy victory. He would be a bold man, however, who would say that France might not yet repel the invader.

Fienchraen of all ranks and classes may unite for the defence of their owa soil. If Kint, William is wise he will taka his revenge upoa Napoleon by proclaiming to France that he wars not against Frenchmen nor French institutions, but against the man who has wantonly disturbed the peace of Europe. If he takes this course he will disarm a million foes. If, however, he should delay, thus giving Napoleon a chance to abdicate in favor of his son or ir. favor of a republic, Prussia may find that she is far from home in the enemy's country.

Should Napoleon fall there ara many in all lands who will be filled regrets. He has been useful in his day and generation. He has made France respected abroad and prosperous at home. He has powerfully aided the cause of modern progress. The modern question--the questioa of nationalities--a question which lies at ths root of tbs? war, has been very effectively answered by himself.

United Italy ought to be grateful to him; for united Italy will remain a lasting memorial of his generosity and of his Tie Farce of a Regency. In olden times trhen sovereigns went to the wars it became necessary sometimes to establish a regency for the government of the realm, iu their protracted absence. Many of these puissant warriors passed years away from their country, and it took them often manv months to go and coma from the seat of war. Richard the Lion Heart was four years absent from England, battering away at the walla of Acre, Joppa and Aacalon Philip of France was nearly two years on the same crusade, in which they were in a measure isolated from the seat and offices of government. Eiit how different is it now, when kings and emperors can reach the seat of war in a few hours by raiinnd.

and direct the councils of the nation by teleqraph! Ia these days of telegraphs and railroads the idea of a regency is a farce. And what greater could there be in this enlightened age the present regency of France With all tespect for tho estimable lady who occupies the Regent's chair, we must regard her position as one of those stage effects in which Napoleon BO much delights. This establishment of the Empieas as Regent with so much show and formality is jasc like the Emperoi'a last sensation--taking a little boy io me oarne neiu. io tiuuetu. What was the necessity of a regency for Franco when the Emperor was only going a few hundred miles from Paris, and is actaally not out of France at all Napolcoa has been making a good many blunders of lata--som3 very silly, like those referred to, and some very grave indeed, like the idea that it only required a great mass of men thrown to tho frontier in order to conquer Prassia.

He has discovered since that brains aa well as soldiers are required for that task. And he has discovered another thing, too--that is a fair share of brains oa the other side of the Rhine. "Oar Fritz" and "our Gail" are not epaulctted puppets. They are good soldiers, well skilled in all the requirements of the work they have in hand, both in council and on the field. If Napoleon can see bis way before him he will quit these showman's tricks, in which women and babies play the second parts, and abdicate in favor of the French people and republican liberty.

There is nothing else lefl for him; unless he can retrieve the defeat to his arms at once. TIio Ladies' Relief Committees Softening tho Horrors of War. Dreary indeed would bo the record of tho moment in Europe to our boasted civilization were it not for the blessed Inspirations which impel the gentle hands of woman to those deeds that, in their way, ara infinitely more glorious thaa the proudest martial achievements. It is questionable whether the pen of the futuro historian will linger with more effect among the narratives that describe the. gallantry of the heroes who stormed tho Malakoff and the Redan, at Sebastopol, or those that glow with the still loftier devotion and more enduring courage of the Sisters of Charity, who braved danger and death ia every form--the shot of the enemy, the bitter inclemencies of a Crimean winter, the pestilential infection of crowded camps and fetid hospitals--simply that they might alleviate the sufferings of the poor soldier fighting and dying there to further the purposes of kings and courts.

The cold annals of mere war may accord to the commanders who won the fray, the ehaplet of military fame; but the brightest lines on even their pages glow with heavenly warmth and light as they mention the name of Florence Nightingale and the noble women who had preceded and who accompanied her. In our own terrible civil war the female relief committees who toiled in the towns and exposed their own health and lives close to tha battle field performed a work which was blessed to the objects of their tender kindness at the moment, and which gradually became a golden link of reviVed sympathy and friendship between the warring sections. The Terrors of a conflict which often found father arrayed against son and brother against broiher were made greatly less by these angelic ministrations, and the fury of resentment against the hand that inflicted the wound melted away in tears and gratitude at the touch of the gentle hand that tended it. We are recalled to these reflections, in the midst of the mournful feeling that the new outbreak of war in Europe awakens, by reading of ihe preparations in progress in many of the French and German cities to form active and efficient female relief associations for the succor of the wounded on either side. The Sisterhood of Mercy in all its branches is already in the field, and Migs Nightingale from her own bed of illness has transmitted to Paris such writtan hints aud instructions as her arduo-'-s experience has qualified her to give for the benefit of such societies as may there be formed by ladies volunteering, but unused to the seivlce.

The wife of Marshal Can- roberfc has organized an association ''to help the wounded on the field of battle." and in a heartfelt appeal reminds her countrywomen of what was done by their American siecers during the civil war, wlien, as she says, "they collected more than sixty-five millions of francs and obtained the magnificent that out of a hundred wounded they were able to save "Let every French this noble lady, "listen to our voices; we hold out tha hand for those who are about to And our own kind countrywomen in Paris have not been, slow to answer the common call of humanity. Thry have formed a Ladiss' Branch of the American International Saniiary Committee, with Mis. Anson G. Burlingame at its head, and manv most active and most distinguished American names abroad are on the list of members. They are even now vigorously at work with high success.

This good example is imitated in all the leading French and (Jgnnau cities, and promises the most gratifying results. At the eight the nations thus ruthlessly dragged into collision are partly consoled; the warrior advancing to the field of carnage is cheered; the pained heart of humanity is touched with an emotion which is the beginning of an hope that thesa divina influences will yet prevail evea in our time, and that the hour foretold by the whispered encouragement and prayer which the mangled soldier hears beside liia pillow may no longer bo distant, when the cross s'uall forever put aside tho sword. and Peace--A Striking Contrast. That between the terrible scenes of war on Sunday last on the Rhine frontier and the magnificent spectacle of peace ia the lower bay of Now York on Monday last. Tho picture in the one case presents us all the horrors of war; in the other we have all tha glories and beautiful suirouudings of peace.

The contrast between these two pictures, if intelligently reduced to canvas, would be infinitely more impressive than Landseer's famous companion pieces of "War" and "Peace." It has, we think, been truly said that no pen can fully describe and no pencil can fully paint, with all its accessories, the beautiful and imposing spectacle of our splendid yacht race of Monday last for fte Queen's Cup bat as a vivid, impressive, grand and glorious representation of peace, with all its beauties, all its triumphs, all its surpassing attractions, it is to be hoped that some capable artist, fall of the inspiration of the thrilling scene, will paint it, and with the sublime legend above it, as in letters of living light upon the sky, Peace hatii her victories No less renowned tttan war. Such a picture, with the passage of the "invincible armada," for instance, out of the Narrows hi the foreground, and the misty point of Sandy Hook, the lightship and Old Ocean in tho far background, giving us anything approaching a truthful reflection of the pageant, will make the fortune and the reputation of the painter.

Had the war taken another turn, however, we should have witnessed the same result, though it might not Lave been attained-so soon. It is not to be denied that the victory of a people so largely interested in our national welfare as are the Germans should have reversed the gold movement. It should not be forgotten, however, that before the battle of "Woerth, in fact after ihe French triumph at Wissembourg 1 the reaction had already commenced, and gold was declining here, while our bonds were advancing in London. The first crisis had already passed, and our credit was asserting the general of war in Europe, when the recent successes of Prussia came to give the natural movement a fresh impetus.

THE FKEXOII EVACUATION or ROMP--WHAT THE POPE before the evacuation of Home by tbe French troops the French Minister called upon Cardinal AntonelU to apprise him of the event. The Cardinal said he would mention it to the Holy Father and give his answer to the Minister la the evening. Accordingly, In the evening, the Minister called again upon the Cardinal, when, as reported by the Paris papsr Le Temps, the following after the usual formalities, took MAKQUIS--And what aoes his Holiness CAKDIXAL--He says, "God -viil piov'de ioi Mav I never see Treucli troops MABQPIS --is that all CARDINAL--All. We do Tioi fully believe ia thisiepoit. Ott the contrary, wo doubt not that the Pope sorrowfully parted with the French troops after the seventeen years of protection and security they had given him against Garibaldi, Mazzini and the Reds.

But now that the French are gone, the Holy Father, it may be said truly, has no other reliance than a merciful Providenca; for King Victor Emanuel, as a son of the Church, is but little bettor thau a wolf in sheep's clothing.

SEVERE THU.iDEn STOJB AT Tl.NTQN, fl. reiiton was viMted early yesterday by one or the most ternfii, luunser itorms eer witnessed that cicy. At four o'clock the rain, fell Ia torrents, ana in half an ttonr the lifrnlntnf commenced.

The flashes jar outshone the twilight and were succeeded by deafening roars or thunder. Though the storm did not prove fatal it caused neaty damage. The house of Thomas Braden, No. 50 Washington street, was struck bv the electric nuid. which Knocked Bradea down para- bzed his rignt arm, and shot-Spliees of glass, wood and briclc into His face.

He narrowly escaped death, as he stood near ihe window at the time The water nij.e conveyed tbe fluid to thegionnd where it shattered the bricks round the hose box. 'An old lady in ied up stairs was stunned by a buck hurled fiom near tl-e window. Tae houses of Michael Keyers, on Brunswick avenue; of William Der, oa Cnambersbm-ffroad, and Mr. Richer, in West State street, were snatteiea and damaged. At the roiling mill two men staadlne oa rails of lion were aashea on their faces and Stunned.

Nnmerons trees were torn fiom tho side- wales, and upwards of twenty telegraph, poles thrown flown. Ja the comitty distncw the losses by the storm ara unusual. A young man named Francis Pumllson, aged eighteen years, was (irdwBefl in the river, near the state Asylum. It is thought that he was overcome during the storm, as he was subject to flts of batalensy. Ttte oofly was recovered and an inquest was held.

He was satisfied the Delict that the doctrine of Papal infallibility vrm radically of such an aibitiaiy chaiactcr tne final promulgation of ilio would be almost indefinitely postponed. Ho snoka of the Arcliblsliop of Pails Having declared his disposition to acquiesce in hatever the majority ol tha Ecumenical Council decided upon but there was evident In ivliatAiclibishop Purceil utteranca to. that thepaitv or anti-infalliblsts is not of mat complexion to be easily dlspobej ol by a vote wliicH places tuem a mmoiftv. Arcnbishop Purceil es- preascil liimseir to the eirect that the Roman Caiho'to mind of America is not prepared to act cpt the doo, tiine of infallibility as applied to the peisonalitv of thepopedom.

That the C'uircli, througli the volca or its assembled repiCieiitjtlvemlnibterj, shoula lay down cerrain l.iws for the government of the entire bodv, and promulgate flnat doctrines lor its acceptance, lecoives the endorsement of all Catholics; bnt thequestiou or personal in alllbilllT is more tlma it 13 thouuM either lea sonaole or proper to receive.
