Show Wns Napoleon towardly! A very general effort is being made by the enemies of the empire in France to make the people believe that Louis Napoleon not only sacrificed the honor of bis country but his own honor by a disgraceful aud cowardly surrender. But the Tarnus accounts which reach us from German sources tell a very different dif-ferent tale. Our correspondent avers that the Emperor charged four times at the head of his troops against the Bavarians at Balan. Another states that he fought from six in the morning morn-ing until thre in the afternoon, and that it was only with the greatest difficulty diffi-culty that the officers cf bis staff persuaded per-suaded him to leave the field when the -truizgle became hopeless. And lastly, we have the explicit declaration of the official Staatsanzeiger, of Berlin, to the effect that, "according to reihble inibr-mation inibr-mation the statements, namely, of eye-witness the Emperor at the battle bat-tle of Sedan exposed himself tu our fire-in fire-in such a manner that bi intention indubitably in-dubitably was to e-k death.'' ,.,.
