There has been something like 6-;hlinp:, nd there is oo longer anj doubt that the Prusfcians to far have been completely successful. i The detail ehow that the fightinpr in the Ttciphborhood of Woerth was" long and bkxxij. It would seem that the Crown Prince, vigorous ly following up his victory, pushed on to Hague nau.: In apite of the determined resistance of 'th French the place was gallantly captured by the Prussians, the French retiring in disorder. As proof of the aererity of . the Cght and of the nunplcteuesa of the victory we are told thatfonr thousand of the French were taken prisoners, nd that the retreating army left in the enemy's bands two standards, thirty pieces of artillery, including six revolving cannon, or mitrailleuses. Napoleon himself j Cnifecs defeat. ; The Prince Imperial has returned to Paris.; The Kumreas Eugenie has issued a proclamation to iheVrench nation. The crisis appears to be furious aud imminent for the Bonaparte. z It is said also that the French have evacuaTed Tbionvillo. It seem perfectly clear that the tide of battle has fairly turned against the armies of Napoleon. Several of the dispatches distinctly fctatc that , the French have retreated along the whole line, aud that the Emperor is concentra ting his troops for the purpose of defending Paris. K is undeniable that the fighting has been on a scale of such ipagnitude and with such b result as to compel us to admit that J'rnia ha gained a great victory, and that. France hn ruMaioed a serious defeat. The moral effect on tK-th bides will be great. Prussia is jubilant. France already begins t despond. The author ities in Paris are at their wits' end. Every pre caution is j taken to preserve the peace of. the fit v. but serious aDrrehencions are entertained that the unfavorable news may lead to a rising of the disaffected classes. At a council held in Paris, the: Empress Kegent presiding, it was deemed necessary to have the guards of the Palace at hand and under arms. As another proof of the excited and dangerous mood of the Parisian populace it has t be noted that all 'secret aseuibLges of the people have been pro hibited. ! : The London Times ascrils the French dis aster to the Emperor's obstinacy in refusing sound military advice and to his dullness. ; The Times says parties in France will make the Em peror pay. the penalty of his ill success. His name is already ignored in the acts by which the regency erk to rally the people. Things ar range themselves as if he w;i not expected to tfiume his power, as if; testing how he may be dUpensed with altogether. The only question is. who shall rt utter the word -abdication." Edmund About writes j from , the fiold bitterly condemning tho Emperor's course.' He says, haviug declared war he left th Prussians to hejrio it. It is true thai neither party was ren- dy, yet the Frcneh lost twenty days in tmirching and countermarching. jThey were . attacked at Weksenburg by the enemy when there was no videttes to watch, no skirmishers to meet and uo plan to repel."

This tribunal is in eefesion here this week, his Honor, Judge Brooks presiding with .the dignity, ability and impartial ity that have xnade bim a general . favorite with the bar. On the opening of the Court his Hon or delivered one of the clearest and most appro priate charges to the grand jury that it has ever been our fortune to hear. The patience with which he hears the arguments of counsel and tne great clearness of his charges to the jury show him to possess some of the qualities that go to make a good Judge which he certainly is. j No leases of special importance have been dis posed of. A Dumber of indictments against par tiles for violations of the Internal livenue laws have been tried, and in about one half of them the defendants have been acquitted. The writ ot hateat corpv, issued by his Honor for the Caswell and Alamance prisoners, has not yet been returned, and may not be for several days, as the; parties in! whose custody they are have ten days iu which to ! make, the return. The opin ipn is' general that the prisoners will i be pro duced in obedience to the writ.. ' What will be doue with them by his Honor we do not, of course, know, but suppose that he will either re lease them or turn them over to the civil author ities of the State for examination. By his course in this matter the Judge has greatly en deared himself to the law-loving and law-abiding teonle of North Carolina, and will ever be held ir grateful remembrance by them.

They jlpro cured all the pparrows they could from other countries, and protected them till sufficiently numerous to destroy the noxious insects. Then. as these birds rear several broods of young every year, the farmers, to prevent them coming so numerous as to destroy their grain, killed all the early breeds just before ready to leave the nest'. at which period they, are excellent for the table.
