THE VERY LATEST From the seat of war show no more fighting, but every advance by the Prussians makes more evident the terrible punishment received by the French in the battle of Worth. London dispatches to the 10th state that Paris is in insurrection, soldiers siding with the people. Napoleon's abdication has-been de manded in the corpsLegislative, upon which that body .scattered. The prince Imperial is in London with the crown jewels and other val uables, for safety. At the front both armies are con centrating mar Metz for a desperate battle. Our cotemporary, In the magnifii cent magnanimity of his heart, in at tending to the affairs of others, reads the radical press a caudel-Iecture in his last week's issue, upon the sin of their siding with Prussia in her pres ent war with France. His ideas are better than ordinary, as they are from the Omaha Herald, and only slightly mixed up by a transit through the large brain of Mr. Calhoun. "What he has to do with an expression of the Republican press, upon any subject, we fail to see; and such a glaring misstatement of the issue, to base, an article upon, makes his interference still more obnoxious and unfair. Admitting that both are despotic powers, everythingshows that France has for over a year been arming, and now has declared war, according to her own declaration, simply upon the arrogance of Prussia in not ordering one of her subjects to withdraw from a candidacy for the throne of Spain. In other words r because Napoleon found he could not succeed in agran d.ziug his power in Spain, he involves Europe In a bloody war. France is the aggressor, and what is more natu ral than for American citizens to con demn such a spirit, and side with the nation warred against. 'It is not American to be neutral so far as the sympathy of its people are concerned. Let the content be everjgo small, there is always a right and a wrong side, and the radical press, unlike its policy-loving, truckling opposition, has ever been 'found open and free in its expression of sympathy for the wronged of every nation or clime, whether tyrants or patriots wre in the contest ; and everready, if liberty were involved to defend it. And further, this expression of sym paty will aid in strengthening the arms of Prussia ; and this is the in tention, that the war may be as short as possible. This argument, Mr. Calhoun can doubtless see ; for was not his heart made to pulsate with lively emotions, his arm made to fire with more accu racy at Union soldiers from the knowl edge that England sympathized with the rebels? Did he condemn that sympathy? Was he on the side of "civil liberty" In that struggle, that he should now be so glib in condens ing a sympathy where right and wrong only are at issue, and liberty is not? The caliber -of the man may be judged by this broad assertion : "Bat. TTOvery clearly understand why the aadical party Is so fined -with spasmodic love foe Prussia at this time it la a bid for Ger man votes." r And this is the pith of his article. This is what he was aching to warn the Germans of the great desire of radicals to get their voles. So far, the Germans have known how to vote without outside aid from the Demo cratic press; and now that their kin dred are set upon by an ambitious demagogue, are not likely to take warning from a party, one of whose leading organs spits out its venom thus: "It may be added that thec German meet ings 'to 'express sympathy with the Prns sians' are exhibitions of very cheap patriotism- worthy,. however, of the descendants of the hireling Hessfaas who lought against American independence in 1776."

As to the question asked, itisabun dantly proven by the fact that agents of both the B. Ft. K. and M. P. roads were at Washington and sanctioned and urged the course pursued by Sen ator Tipton. Is the Tribune editor a thousand miles or more from the scene better able to judge of the merits of the "land steal," as the Tribune calls it, than the representa tives of the road? If they are satis fied, why does the Tribune keep up such a "yowling?"' As to its opposition to the B. Ft. K. & P. and M. P. R.

Speaking of the pending war be tween France and Prussia, Henry Greebe, of Omaha, one of our most intelligent German fellow-citizens, and a Democratic,politician,in acom munication to the Omaha Herald, says: "It has become a matter of general belief with a large portion of my countrymen, that Democratic Journals are taking side with France quite asmnchbecause itenables them to criticise the action of the administration, asfor any other reason.

Nemaha City, Neb., August Sth, 1870. Pursuant to previous notice the peo--ple congregated on the school grounds at five o'clock; to see the laying of the corner stone, and hear the ceremo nies. The citizens had, however, in the meantime, hoisted the good old Amer ican ilag, which floated in the gentle breezes, and was an emblem of their love of freedom. The corner stone was of the finest quality, well dressed, with a neatly chiseled hole in which was placed a Certified Copy of the School Law, a copy of Agricultural Reports, a copy of the Weekly Advertiser, and a copy of the Weekly Democrat. It was then sealed and laid, after which J. P. Crother, Esq., made a few very ap propriate remarks on the enterprise then at issue. He then introduced Dr. MeGrew, County Superintendent, who spoke at length on the advanta ges arising from the free school sys tem of education ; that to have equal rights and immunities we must have equal responsibilities; and dwelt on the propriety of educating our chil dren to the point that the Govern ment was made for them, and not them for the Government; and final ly "discussed the advantages accruing from a graded system, and was pleased to hear of Nemaha taking this step, which is of such vital importance. The building is to be one which will do credit to both county and State. It is to be erected of the best material, well furnished and finished. We are pleased to see the people of Nemaha City alive to their own interest, as charity begins at home. Mr. Frost has the contract of building the walls.

RAILROAD MEETING. Important Action of tke Q.M.&P.R.R. The regular quarterly meeting of the directors of the Quincy, Missouri & Pacific Railroad company was held at the company's office, iu West Quincy, yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, a majority of the board heiug present. A large delegation, com posed of citizens from Highland and LaBelle townships, and Edina, were in attendance to urge upon the direc tors the propriety of chamrinir the location of the road from the south ern, or Newark route, to northern, or what is known as the Edina route. The circumstances which led to the consideration of the change, are sub stantially as follows: At the meet ing of the directors, held on the 1,6'th of June, the line of the road was lo cated west from station 394 beyond theFabius river, near the line of Ma rion county, through Shelby town ship, in Lewis county, to the town of Newark, and the east line of Knox county. At the time of the location there was a spirited competition be tween Newark and Edina as to which should have the road. Both points wanted to secure the route, and both exerted themselves in the of induce ments in the way of aid. The sum of SGo.OUO was voted on the northern line for the road, Highland township failing to carry a subscription. The southern line voted $110,000 inbond3. It being claimed that the bonds voted on the southern route were worth less money, and would have to be nego tiated at a smaller per cent, than those of Edina, and the upper route, the citizens of Newark and adjoining townships promised the company to make their bonds realize nearl their par value. The Newark route is about three miles the longest, and the most expensive of the two, but upon the bllO.OO-.) 111 bonds promi-ed to to be worth near their face the com pany, on the Kith of June, decided to locate the road upon the Newark route. This action of the company created considerable dissatisfaction at Edina and Kirksville, and the company was accused of acting in bad faith and having no intention, at any time, to build to those points. After the adoption of the southern line, the people on the northern route agitated the proposition of lending their assis tance to build a road from Edina to Kirksville. But it appears that they clung to the Q. M. & P., and endeav ored to secure a reconsideration of their action at the same meeting. Highland township, which voted down subscription in June, went to worK, anu wiinouL any encourage ment or advice from the company, neiu an election anu voted bonus 111 the amount of $25,000 to the road in case it should be relocatd. Cash sub scriptions were made along this route amounting to $5,00J. In the mean time the citizens of Newark and others, who had promised to effect an arrangement which would enhance the value of their bonds, were noti fied to take some action in the matter, and the company offered suggestions which might have been carried out successfully. The directors, being pressed by Edina for a rehearing, in formed those interested In the south ern line to report what they could do aj. tue meeting yesteruay. "The subject was duly considered by the meeting. It appeared that no ef fort was being made at Newark to fulfill the promises upon which the former location was made, and there was no prospect that the pledges would be met. It transpired that the Newark route was out of the way three miles greater in distance, and a more expensive grade, aud that even $65,000 on the northern line was worth as much to the company as $100,000 on the other. It also transpired that no registration had been ordered for the election in Round Grove town ship which voted $20,000, and that the subscription was claimed to he il legal and that the informality would oe laKeH advantage ot by parties op posed to the road. Upon consideration of all the facts, among which were the failure of Newark to carry out her Dromises. after being requested to do so, the$95- 000 ottered on the northern line, that the Edina route was the most direct and cheapest, the directors felt justi fied in revoking their former location and changing the line, commencing aip smuuu oin, i milling- almost in a direct line to Edina. The action of tne directors gave great satisfaction to the representatives present from Edina in Knox, and La Belle aud Highland in Lewis counties. The directors however, expressed them selves against any change, nrovided j they could obtain any asurance that tne mends of the Newark route would redeem the promises upon which they secured the location in June. The Edina is represented by all parties as much the nest for this city, for the road, and for all. The engineer corps who are now survey ing via Newark; were by order recall ed, and will commence the survey and location of the hew line next week. Various other subjecs, not of public interest, occupied the meeting 'until three o'clock in the afternoon, when an adjounment was taken. BY TELEGEAPH.
