Collector Casey, whose name figured so frequently in the public prints both of this and other cities, has suffered a total eclipse, and from being an exceedingly well abused man by his own party, is now permitted to enjoy uninterrupted peace and is severely let alone.

UT Strasburg is reported to be sur rounded and besieged by 60,000 Prussians. It is not at all probable that they will keep such a force from the main army for the purpose of reducing a fortress which they have isolated already. A siege of doubtful issue would occupy many months, and the capture of the city would be decisive of nothing.

The Hanse-atic League, or union of German seaport towns, was established seven indrt years ago, for mutaal commercial protection. Two hundred years afterwards (1SS) the league foupht Denmark successfully, winning relief from the Sound dues, or toll upon their ships, imposed by the dominant maritime power. In 1370 the league numbered over a hundred cities and towns. The league exercised great power in England until their privileges were abolised by Elizabeth in 1578, Their power and commerce were further crippled by the rivalry of the Dutch, and by a Swedish invasion under Gusta-vus Adolphus.

The league has steadily declined since the beginning of seventeenth century, and when in 1723 its ports were opened to foreign, commerce, it could no longer Xe ranked as one of the leading powers. The Hanseatic League was a promoter of municipal liberty against the encroachments of feudaippower and the exactions of monarchs. Very many inventions and improvements were developed by the Hansards, among which was the system of organized maritime insurance 'companies. The Hanse towns are now only Bremen, Hamburg and Lubeck. Hamburg is on the north bank of the Elbe, sixty miles from its mouth, sixty miles from Bremen, and thirty-six miles from Lubeck.

Its population is about 150,000. It is twenty miles below the head of tide may be approached by the larger class of vessels. Its commerce is about two hundred millions per annum. Bremen is on the Weser, southwest of Hamburg, an ancient city of about 60,000 inhabitants, including those of its contiguous territory. Its commerce is modcxate, as vessels of more than seven feet draft cannot ascend the Weser to that point.

The real port of Bremen is at the mouth of the river, thirty-seven miles distant, but vessels drawing fourteen feet can come within thirteen miles of the city. Lubeck lies northeast of Hamburg, communicating with it by the river Trave and a canal. CP" The report that Bazaine has taken anew line of defense, that of the Mame, is probably a mistake. It is not even likely that he intends falling back to the line of the Mease, which is the i next line of defense towards Paris after leaving thatof the Moselle. The Mense rises near Langres in the i Department of Haute Mame.

It runs nearly north through Vosges, Mense, Ardennes and Namur. In its valley are several important cities of France, Neufchateaa, Verdun, Sedan, Mtzierep, Charlemont and Givet. Vcrflun is fortified and on the direct road from Metz to Paris, about forty-live miles from Metz and '200 miles from Paris. Besides this and other fortifications the line has natural advantages for defense. We have no reason to suppose, however, that the stronger line of the Moselle will be abandoned without a serious contest.

A London dispatch gives the Paris Echo as authority for the report that the Empress Eugenie and Prince Imperial are in lodgings at St. John's Wood. We know of no Paris paper by that name, but there is a London Echo, a weekly, devoted mainly to club gossip, and-edited by Charles Mackay. The Echo is no-authority, and the news agent must know that all est London would break into a bi guffaw to see it quoted as such. Moreover, St.

John's Wood is not a retreat likely to be selected by the Empress, or any other lady who was married with somewhat more ceremony than the simple and primitive procedure of jumping over the broom. GT In view of the very serious division in the Republican party, as indicated by the fierce, debate indulged in during the last day's session of the Republican State Nominating Convention, it would be wise for the Conservative element to organize thoroughly, and prepare to gain a victory in the fall. X3F There can be no doubt that the French have been largely outnumbered in the recent engagements, but hardly to the extent stated in the cable dispatches of the 12th. Prussia's military systeni enables her to take the field more readily and with a larger effective force than does that prevailing in any other country. In time France might match her in numbers, but not, we think, in the effective character of the troops, aa a large proportion would be composed of new levies "and volunteers wpo had ever seen a battle-field, while even the Prussian land we hr are trained soldiers.

It should be remembered, too, that- France has also! pitted against her the South Germanf States. t5T It is prophesied here by military men that we shall soon hear of a largo French force, having been landed nfcar'Dantzic, which city ia located in West Prussia, near the Gulf of Dantac Mr. Stephens in his aecood volant of The War between the State-" givea Gen. A. IL Colquitt the sola credit of achieving the victorv of Olastee Fa, Gen.

Hi fan's name is not erven mentioned. For this he has been taken to task by vera! ioirnals, and he has been weak enough to reply. He aays This la all in perfect accord with tha facta at I underttand Utem. It is true, a is well known, that the brave and ralUat Finegan was in command of the general military operations on the Confederate) aide at that time in Florida. But it la eouallw true mm mmAjrmUtmA 11 aaaagued the euUre command of all the Confederate forces engaged in the vceam rona to yen.

Uolqaitt. The whole battle, then, from beginning to eod, waa committed to his discretion, direction and control, with but one limitation, and that, waa, if hard pressed, to fall back to the work of Oluaiee station." The splendid victory, therefore, waa certainly, at undentand it, achieved under the lead of Otn. Colquitt. This theke use of the qualifying clause, as I understand them, evideooea the writer's doubt about his "facta." Bat even taking this statement as entirely trust, worthy, it is no defence of the just criti' cism made upon Mr. Stephens.

In fact it would have been better had Lv r-H hia peace. He admits his knowledge of the fact that the brave and failaotFlnegan araa in command of the general military operations on the Confederate side at that time in Florida," and that the latter had instructed Colquitt what course to take in case of failure. And yet, he makes not even an allusion, in his history, to Gen. Fine Ran in connection with this battle. That is the point made against Mr.

Stephens, and it is a point he has not met. This seems rather diaingenaoaa. The omission appears still more unaccountable, taken in connection arith the resolution of thanks to Gen. Fine gnu which passed the Confederate Cougreaa unanimously. Perhaps Mr.

Stephens is right about his facts as I (he) snder-stand them," and perhaps the whole Confederate Congress labored under a delusion when passing the subjoined resolution, and then perhaps not i JOINT RESOLUTION at thanks to Sea.

Both teachers and pupils will betake themselves all the more cheerfully to the schoolroom for the recreation they have enjoyed, and scholars will prove aa eager in the pursuit of knowledge as they were in aedrch of pleasure during the holidays. Th trouble in the public schools will, no doubt, determine many parents to send their children, and eapecelly their daughters, to private seminaries, where, indeed, their studies can be much more satisfactorily pursued, where they will be safe from undesirable associations, and where their advancementintellectual and moral must be rapid and satisfactory. Fortunately, New Orleans is well provided with select private schools, and it affords us especial gratification to recommend to all those having daughters to educate, the seminary presided ovor by Mrs.
