The War to Bknkfit America. Should the war between France and Prussia coutinue "six months, it - will advantageously affect American interests in several ways. It will increase the oceau carrying trade of this country, and thus stimulate the ship-building interest, and ni J in developing our merchant fit vice. American steamers will perform the foreign mail service, hitherto in the hands of the German and French steamers. Another effect of the war, which will be of more direct and special benefit to the ' Pacific States and Territories, will be the great improvement in the market price of breadstuff. Already our markets begin to exhibit indications of a - healthy ap- ' preciation in values. Our harvest has been abundant, and we have a large sur- News from Exchanges. Idaho.

It will be seen from our telegraphic dispatches, that since our last weekly issue the two great European powera have gone to ork in earnest: to depopulate their kingdoms and create desolation and waste where before peace and plenty smiled. The French army, uuder the great chief, Napoleon, crossed the frontier on the 2d inst., in force, drove the Prussians from their fortifica tions in front of Sarrbrucken, and soou made themselves masters of the town, with but small loss o. either side. Saar brucken is a small unfortified town on the river Saar, and of no great importance to the Prussians. A naval fight between the fieeta of the two countries took place on the Baltic, in which the French were victorious,- capturing two Prussian gun boats. As the Prussian Government, through Count Bismarck,, has refused peremptorily, all peaco overtures from Napoleon, we may expect the war to be carried on with more earnestness here after aad that both parties will put forth all their generalship in the straggle to humiliate and crush each other. We look for s tiring news during the coming week. - Later A battle is reported on the 3d in which the Prussians were victorious, killing one French General and capturing 500 French prisoners.

Ballard, who gives place to lion. Gilmaa Marstou, of Naw Hampshire. Gov. " Ballard has for four years nasi discharged the duties of this territory, and it is not too much praise to say that ho retires with credit to himself and carries with him the best wishes of a large majority of our citizens. A man of social and genial disposition, and rectitude of character, if he lacked the more brilliant qualities that dazzle the public eye, he had in an eminent dejrreo the respect and confidence of the masses-- His home was always open ' to political friends and foes alike, and his personal qualities of head and heart endeared him to a circle of friends that reaohed beyond the distinction of party, and make his absence create a " void sot easily filled. His amiable lady and interesting family will be sadly missed in the eooiety of "'Boise City, and the kindest wtshes"Tr6mlhe"peopIe "of ' Idaho follow both them and the Uoverner on his retirement to hw old home.". ance oi wheat is not flatterin", and the indications are that there will be a light yield.
