The only shew we see for the Dallas Republican to acquire any great notoriety ; is for other papers to advertise It by ex tended notices.- This paper has made some civil allusions to "Polk County Politic" and it did request to be left out of any. quarrel that alarming journal might pick with the Blade, but it will be ure, when the necessity is apparent, to Speak plainly on any subject, and wont be eeavred whan the "gauntlet" is 'thrown down" by any pugnacious neigh bor. If we should'nt feel compelled to pick it up every time he throws it down he . needent be at all surprised, however. As oar meaning has not been apparent to our Polk county eotemporary we com .mend him to the logic of his neighbor and townsman, "J. A., A," and advise him to parry the home thrusts before he attempts to play havoc with the outside wc'rtd;" To be more explicit and nnmis Ukeably understood, . we say that , the RetutUcan's attempt to Sullivsnise the party Isf Polk, is absurd, and will prove to be a miserable failure ; its atUck on Senator Williams may possibly be actua ted br tho insane idee that the writer can go to the Senate "In his place by profess ing Democracy enough to beat Jo.

The Tint Battle. "The dispatches we publish to-day give account of what may be considered the first regular movement in forte of the ' campaign on the Rhine frontier. ' It poe tesses no great importance and only re sulted : la compelling tbe Prussians' to evaculate the small town of Saarsbruck, which was unfortified and situated exact ly at a point where the river Saar touches the Prussian frontier.

Geo. Francis Train in California. The San Francisco Chronicle keeps Its readers posted concerning the perform ances of our old friend George Francis at the metropolis of the Pacific, from which it appears that tbe irrepressible was not to be bluffed off, but made a number of ef forts at lecturing in San Francisco, draw ing crowded houses and keeping his au diences entertained by a rehash of his us ual course of subjects. He thinks the only thing that ean savo Louis Napoleon, now, is to declare Ireland a Republic and run France from now on by Republican machinery. He doesn't expect this to oc cur, however, for he takes p articular pain to inform his hearers that be is bound to liberate Ireland himself, which of course leaves Nopoleon without a chance for sal vation.

Exkcutivs Orricc, Boise City, 1 July 16, 1870. ' Fellow Citizens of Idaho Territory r la retiring from the duties of the Executive of this Territory, I should do injustice to my feelings were I not to express to you the gratitude I cherish for the kindness and generosity with which I have been favored by the people of Idaho. More than four years have parsed since I came amongst you a stranger, with no indorsement but my commission, and a conscious desire to . do my duty to tbe people of Idaho and the United States. 'Sometimes assailed for my official acts, I have always had a vindication from tbe people interested that has been as grati fying to me as it was generous in them. It proves that even if a public officer sometimes errs, the people who judge bis acts and motives will not allow an injus tice to be done him. The fact that after four years acquaintance .1 was indorsed by more than two-thirds of my fellow citiaene, by their voluntary signatures for ! my reappointment, is more gratifying to my feelings than would be a commission for tbe highest office ia the gift of the President. It will be to me a source ot pride and pleasure through all my future life. ? I have no words in which to convey my tbaoks to those who thus honored me. .. For bit sueeessbr in office, I bespeak the same kind indulgence so constantly accorded to me. Coming among the people of Idaho already known to fame, be will find an intelligent, enterprising generous and law-supporting people, who will earnestly sustain him in the right and be generous and Indulgent to his er rors. To hope that his career may be as pleasnt, its official close as agreeable, as mine has been to me, is to bequeath to him my best wish ; and that the neonU the warm-hearud, whole-souled and no ble people of Idaho may continue to pros per in every just cause, and that this youog Territory may soon be one of the game that shall crown the arch of States which is to span the continent, is the heart felt wish of your neighbor, fellow cttisen, end friend. .

The five Parks in Cologne, and banker Openheimer's Chatteau and grou nds are to be prepared and used for def ensive purposes. A large force is em ployed on tbe heights of Saucb, con structing works to protect the coal miners and railroads. It is rumored that Prussia will increase her forces in the field to one million and a quarter of men, so as to be enabled to carry the war into France. . The New York Tribune's correspondent says the French solders have nothing to eat, and are constantly making raids int the Prussian outskirts to dig potatoes. De also says the French shooting is very poor indeed, while, on the other hand, the Prussians are steady and good marks men. An attack by the French yesterday was vigorously repulsed at Saarsbruck. The feeling in Denmark decidedly favors France. Mayence is in a state of siege, and the country- between Coblents and Mayence cut op into trenches. Austria and Italy have agreed on neutrality.

Tbe Yacht Dauntless will not complete in the grand yacht race for the Queen's Cap, We learn tbut Austria bas given ber sanction to tbe possession of Rome by Italy, which we infer France had previ ously consented to. It doesnt appear that tbe French troops are altogether infatuated with.tbe Emper or. The Uarde Mobile is eaid to have passed through Paris, shouting "Down with Olivier" (the Prince Minister) and "vive la Repubhque," a not very imperi al war cry. Austria otncially announces the sup pression of tbe Concordat between that country and Rome. Which looks very much as if papal infallibility was not ap predated there. Tbe French Government bas decided to strictly enforce the passport system during tbe war, and the French papers complain that tbe threatened occupancy of Belgium by England will disgust Bel gium, offend France and tend to drag Austria and Kussia into the war. CounPBismark publishes his statement as to tbe history of the secret treaty pro posed by France with Prassia, by wbicb it appears that France, before tbe Danish war, proposed an alliance for mutual eg grandizement, which ia May, 1866, took tbe form of propositions in the hand writing of Bennedette, the French Minis ter wbich proposed that Italy should have Yenetia, and Prussia Scblesevig and Holstein, and if a congress of tbe pow ers enonld refuse to consent to this, then Prussia should immediately commence war supported by r ranee, against Aus tria. Napoleon wanted a liberal share ot tbe Rhine provinces. Prussia was to be the bead of confederated Germany, and the two nations, perhaps including Italy, were to form an alliance to secure and carry out these ends. Bismarck as serts positively that these propositions were made and insisted on by France, with a threat of war in case of their re fusal. Berlin, Angust 2.

It says the French assumed the aggressive, and crossing the 'Prussian lines, soon drove the enemy from his bat teries, in the outskirts of Saarsbruck, sod speedily captured the town. The Emperor and the Prince Imperial partici pated, in tbe engagement. The loss on the French side is said to have been very sligbV No farther particulars have' been received. The rumors about Austrian and Italian neutrality are pronounced premature, as an alliance is farming be tween France and Denmark, and Italian troops will enter Rome on the plea of af fording -protection, as Napoleon's troops are withdrawn from that city.

The delay on both sides, after opening of the campaign, is attributed to renewal by Napoleon of proposals for peace which were formally refused by Bismarck to day. The French Government is preparingan answer to the last dispatch of Bismarck, (probably that leferring to the history of the secret treaty). The Crown Prince Frederick William, remains in command in Prussia, and will not take the command in South Germany as has been reported. Back Doors.

The Pitts burg papers give particulars of the terri- ble.fall of alittle boy about four years old, over a bluff 300 feet high in that city; Our readers will feel some interest iu the mat ter wayeu tbev learn that the little fellow is a son of Rev. Mr. Crossman who lately lived in this city, where the child was born. The account' is handed ns by our townsman,' Al Grossman, his brother, who learhs that the little boy is doiog well. The account says : ' - - " " The victim of the accident is a little boy four yeais old, a child of Rev. James Crossman, pastor of tbe Evaogelical As sociation chapel. At tbe time mentioned tbe little fellow was sluing, with some other boys little older tbau himself, on one of tbe overhanging rocks of tbe bluff. At this point, as we have said, tbe bluff is at least three hundred . feet nign. At tbe base runs tbetravk of tbe McConnells- ville Railroad. One of tbe boys saw something lying at tbe foot of tbe rock on wbich be sat, and told little Martin to pick it op'ior him. Tbe child stooped over to do so, wben be lost bia balance and fell headlong over tbe piecipice. Tbe little fellow undoubtedly struck some shelving portions of tbe rock between tbe top and tbe bottom, and so broke his descent somewhat for tbe sheer fall most inveta- bly have killed bim ontrigbt. These only prolonged tbe time of bis descent a few seconds, however, and he struck, appar antly bead first, on tbe railroad track. As if this were not a terrible enough ex perience, lhe express train on the railroad came rushing towards the spot, and in a tew seconds tbe senseless child wo'ild be crushed under its wheels. Fortunately a man who was working near, saw tbe child fall and saw also tbe new danger impend ing. At the risk of bis own lire be sprang upon tbe track, seized the little body and, taking it in his arms, pressed it as tight ly as possible back against tbe face of the rock. He was not a second too coon, for be had scarcely got off tbe rails wben tbe train passed, almost brushing bis clothes as lie huzeed tbe rock. Tbe danger past, attention was turned to tbe child and it was found tbat the frightful fall bad not killed him, tbougb be was bleeding aad insensible. Quickly as possible be was carried to his father's residence and it was ascertained that no bones were brok en. There were two or three ugly cuts on the bead, and thre were bruises on various pans of the body. But so far as now appears, the little patient is no, dan gerously hurt.
