The Prussian Captures. Stores of all kinds and military trains had fallen into the hands of the Prussians. They had also taken the small fortress of Hatzel stein, in the Vosges Mountains, which the French had evacuated, leaving their guns and provisions behind. The Battle of Froschweiler. Fabis, Aug. 11. The Journal OJlcid has advices from Metz to 4.30 yesterday evening. The details of the battle of Froschweiler are still meagre. Marshal MacMahon had his horse killed under him. A brigade of cavalry of the Reserve Corps and one division of the corps of General Failly arrived on the field at the close of the day and covered the retreat. The pursuit of the enemy was vigorous at first, but soon be came mere reconnoissances. Marshal MacMahon, after being twenty, five hours in the saddle, passed Sunday at Saverne, which was abandoned on Sunday night, and occupied by the Prussians. Some of thoir advance pickets came up with pur rear guard, but were driven back without much difficulty. A Battle Believed to be In Pro rese-DlfficuIty f Obtaining News from the Prussian Army, London, Aug. 111 A. M. There is no news here of an engagement up to this hour (1 A. M,), but it is believed in Paris that a battle is in progress. ' No telegrams are al lowed to go through, and there are no railway trains running south or east from Cologne, except one to Berlin daily, and two trains for troops. This explains the difficulty of ob taining news from the front. Napoleon Blind to II la Own Incompetency He In determined to Ketaln the Command-In. Chief of the Army. London, Aug. 10 Evening. The latest "official" dispatch, dated Metz, August 9, evening, states that the Emperor went that morning to the headquarters ' of Marshal Eazaine, who resumed command of the troops "concentrated at' Metz." This is on indirect way of contradicting the rumor that Marshal Eazaine was to be made Gene ralissimo of the whole Army of the Rhine. The Emperor is blind to his incompetency, and, disregarding the universal outcry against it, will cling to the ohief command of the army until another defeat exhausts the national patience. lie gives out that he never will return to Paris alive, unless as a conqueror.

General Getty yesterday received from the department headquarters an order Issued by the Secretary of War autho rizing him to proceed at once to construct eight suitable buildings. This gives great satisfaction to the owners of real estate. - The Forelan War Newe. The newa of the recent Prunfeiao victories created greai excitement here last' night. A procession composed of Germans, headed by a band of music, paraded through the streets and called on several of our prominent citizens, who expressed sympathy with the Prussians and their .rejoicings with them over their victories. , The Ralatoa Silver Ml nee. A great interest is manifested in relation to the recently discovered silver mines of Ralston City and Burr's Mountain. A large number of returns of assays of ores taken from all parts of this region were received by the California mail yesterday, and from these assays It appears that the best mineral authorities on the Pacific coast pronounce them the richest of rich mines. They are supposed by many to be the "lost mines" of which tradition has handed down such remarkable accounts, as there Is unmistakable evidence of their having been worked at some period long in the past. Cool Weather. Helena, Montana, Aug. 10. The weather Is very cool here. The thermometer at noon was down to the freezing point, and it snowed a little. The Weather at the Beaahere.

A correspondent of the London Times says: There was a gleam Of helmeted heads and plumes and of orders and uniforms around the Queen as the train passed on, and some said, "There is the King," and others sai'l, '-It is the Crown Prince,'' but the glimpse was transient, and the clouds of dust which followed In our track on this most dusty of railroads put all In eclipse. In another hour we were in Berlin, and emerged Into streets filled wit a men in plain clothes proceeding in some sort of mili tary order, with small escorts of soldiery to the rail way station. Many of these wore decorationa. medals, ribands, and crosses which spolte of service in Sclileswlg-llolstcin and in Bo hemia. They were sober, orderly men, quiet, nnexcited, and perhaps all the more anxious to fight hard to end the campaign because they had been called away so suddenly from hearth and home men mostly of twenty-five and upwards, several In each band belonging apparently to tiie well-to-do bourt)emnie or better classes of artisans. Large cavalcades of horses in better spirits were led off in fours In the same direction. Detachments of troops were passing all day down the Mrae-tree walk, and at two o'clock the King drove through the streets to the station in a Iiusslan drosky, and was received with uncovered heads and a buzzing sort of suppressed cheer as he passed. He "looked every Inch a king," plumed and helmeted In strictest sol dier tunic a real anax andron of the days when kings led subjects to battle. What a line oid head and front it is ! The stamp of Imperator is there already, and it would not surprise one very much to learn that In an hour of stress that old man, with his piercing blue eye and open brow, and tine lip, curved under his massive white moustache, would cut the Gordian knot of a constitution with a swift, sure sword. Certainly he is not the sort of man one would like to worry coram populo in a watering-place. And then he has a faith; "he be lieves." and he Is sure that He in whom he believes has placed his cause beyond the reach of human harm. It is observed, nevertheless, that the King is not in his usual joyous spirits. He speaks with devout confidence, and trusts in the justice of his quarrel ; but his Majesfy Is grave. The Crown Prince, too, seems, It is said, to feel the intiuence of the tre mendous events which are impending, and surely if the designs of Prussia were warlike the royal family cannot have regarded them with favor or have par ticipated in the desire for a conflict which causes them so much anxiety, although they do not express any apprehensions as to the ultimate result. EUGENIE. The Empreaa Urgent, and How Hhe Became ruch inpolcon'a Uerree of Appointment. The following is the text of the decree of the Emperor conferring on the Empress the title and powers of Regent: Napoleon, by the Grace of God and the national will, Emperor of the French, to all whom these presents may concern, greeting : "Wishing to give to our well-beloved Consort, the Empress, a proof of the confidence which we nave in her; and having the intention to place ourselves a; the head of the army, we have resolved to confer, aud do hereby confer on the Empress the title of Regent, to exer cise the functions of that charge as soon as we shall have left our capital, in conformity with our instructions and orders, . as- we shall have given them in the general directions of the service which we shall have established, and which will be transcribed on the book of the State. Our Intention is to communicate to our Ministers the said orders and instructions, and that In no case the Empress can depart from their rigor, in the ex ercise of her functions of Regent. We desire that the Empress shall preside in our name over the Council of Ministers. We do not, however, intend that the Em press-Regent shall authorize by her sig nature the promulgation of any law other than those now pending before .the Senate, the Legislative Body, and the Council of State, referring on that subject to the orders and Instructions abovementioned ; we order our Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice and Public Worship, to communicate the present letters-patent to the Senate, which will Inscribe them on its books, and publish them in the llulletin des Lois. Given at the Palace of the Tuileries, this 23d day of July, 1870. Napoleon. (Countersigned) Km ilk Ollivikr, Minister of Justice. A FRENCH VIEW. What lias Become of the Wreck of Napoleon's Army. The Courrier ilea JCtats Unis of yesterday contained a special despatch from Us Paris cor respondent, dated the Oth instant, In which the following report is made: General Frossard's corps has entirely rallied under the walls of Metz. Contrary to the reoorts of the enemy General Failly 's corps has not yet been en gaged, but is also within the entrenched camp of Metz. By the addition of the 8d Corps under General de Caen, General Bazaine has now under bis immediate order at Metz, 150,000 men. The 6th Corps, or Imperial Guard, Is In e.jhel lon from Metz to Nancy, while at Nancy there is part of the 4th Corps, under General Ladmirault. Marshal MacMahon basat Savergne, where he was instructed to stop, the remains of the 1st and 7th Corps, numbering about 6(i,ooo men. The 4th Corps, under Marshal Canrobert, has arrived at Chalons ready to enter the theatre of hostilities. All these form an army of 3ft0,000 men, exclusive of the Garde Mobile, which has commenced to enter Lorraine. This report is exceedingly reassuring under the cir cumstances. CITY IN TLLL1 GGNtE.'

Last night, whilst a barber named Bamuel Jackson was passing a gin mill at Eighth and Emmeline streets, he was insulted by another colored individual whose cognomen is Kichard Lattou. Considerable bantering was Indulged in, when finally Jackson drew forth a razor, and with it inflicted a severe wound on the shoulder of Lattou. Jackson then took to his heels, whilst bis victim was taken to the Pennsylvania Hospital. Subsequently Jack eon was arrested in a barber-shop on Uainbrldfe street, above Fifth, whilst asleep. He was taken before Alderman Bon sail, who committed him to prison to await the result of the injuries he Lad inflicted. The Hampton Nrottuh AthlMe The CaJe Ionian Uamea Next Week. Among the prominent amusements in this city are the exhibitions of athletic exercises which are given annually by the Caledonian Clubs. They always attract large audiences, composed principally of our citizens ol Scottish descent. To encourage these exercises, the clubs of this country invited the champion athlete of Scot land, Donald Dlnnle, to cross the Atlantic and give exhibitions of his powers In the prominent cities in Canada and the United States. He has consented, and is now in Canada. On Tuesday next he will be in this city, and.on that day will appear at Oakdale Park and take part In the programme arranged for that occasion by the Caledonian Club of Philadelphia. The following Is a short sketch of the great athlete: Donald Dinnie was born at Aboyne, Aberdeen shire, in and commenced his career as an athlete in 1857. Since then he has gained up wards of 1500 prizes, 1000 of them being for throwing the hammer, putting the stone, tossing the caber, running, leaping, wrestling, etc He has also gained 02 silver medals, and the cham pion gold medal, awarded by the Glasgow Celtic Society, for throwing the hammer in 1867. Forty of these medals are champion medals, and had to be held for three successive years before becoming his property. He is acknowledged to be one of the best specimens of muscular de velopment that has ever appeared in Scotland. The following are some of his dimensions: height, 6 feet 1 in.; round chest, 45 In.; arm, 15X In.; thigh, 25 in.; weight. 210 pounds. 1 he following are some of his best feats on level ground: Pntting the stone, 23 lbs., 39 feet 6 In.; 16 lbs., 47 feet 6 in.; throwing the ham mer, 23 lbs., 97 feet; of 10 lbs,, 123 feet, fair stand. Turning the body with the hammer, he bos sent a 22 lb. hammer 130 feet, and with one has thrown a hammer weighing 13 lbs. 130 feet. At both feats (stone and hammer) he excels anything that has ever been recorded in Scot laud. At high leap he has cleared 5 feet 11 in.; long leap, 19 feet 4 -in.; hop, step and jump, 43 feet. He also gained the champion silver cup at Dublin in 1805, for performing feats with the 56 lb. weight; for throwing which he challenges any man In the world, and will allow any man in America 12 Inches start. - AQUEOUS. The Streets Turned Into Rivera. Whilst the party named Jupiter P., who is supposed to act as the head of the water de partment of the space aerial, has been rather sparing in the supply of aqua pune, many have wondered at the cause, and numerous have been the surmises thereat. The storm, the welcome storm, and, to be emphatic, the thrice wel come storm of last night and this morning has furnished many the clue to the mystery. Jupe has been having built a new and powerful turbine, and the result of iu first trial has been witnessed. Unlike those at Fairmonnt, it has proved a complete success, in fact rather too much so, as the sequel will show. The old story of "Rain on the Roof" may be all very well so far as poetry Is concerned, but when the tune changes to "Rain in the Parlor," it is not quite so enjoyable. Doubtless many persons were truly thankful for the abundance of the aqueous furnished, but of their number were not the inhabitants in the neighborhood of Front and Richmond streets. Here a complete Hood formed, and the water rose four feet in the street, filling cellars, flooding parlors, and floating carpets, furniture, etc., ceilingward, beside furnishing an extensive public bath, In which many of the residents In dulged. Nor were humanity the only sufferers, for in the stable of Messrs. Warren, Kirk & Co., on Richmond street, below Front, were a number of mules, which narrowly escaped drowning, they being barely able to keep their heads above the water when rescued. At Second and Canal streets numerous cellars were flooded and the police compelled to arouse the inmates thereof and notify them of their danger. The cellar of the Morgue at Front and Noble streets was also flooded, and is to-dav being used by a number of urchins for bathing purposes. ' PRUSSIANOKCUBAN ? A mysterious Craft Afloat. For several days past a clipper-built schooner has been moving about in the Delaware in such a manner as to excite the suspicion of the Har bor Police, who are unable to decide, as to whether 6he is a Prussian privateer or a Cuban gunboat. The first idea is, in our mind, upset by the fact that according to treaty no Euro pean power can engage in privateering. Yet so excited are our German friends over the downfall of the Napoleonic dynasty, that we are inclined to Judge that they are fitting out said craft for the purpose of sending a de tachment of their countrymen home to aid in the subjugation of all Europe. The vessel named has changed her moorings several times, and has been visited night after night by tugs withy out lights. If she be, however, a Cuban gunboat, and is really fitting out here with the intention of aiding the patriots of the "Sunny Isle," then we think General Grant should be apprised of the fact. At present the mysterious rakish craft is moored below the Navy Yard. LATER. The Frlshmnlb Cavalry are assembling, squads of them being seen on different streets. The officers say they are going to Smith's Island to indulge in beer. Many suppose that they are to embark in this mysterious vessel. Colored William Woods, one of our ebony- hued citizens, who has been residing at No. 040 Rodman street, yesterday, at the solicitation of Alderman Jones, paid a visit to the palatial stone mansion at Eleventh and Passyunk road, there to remain several days. The way the thing came about was thusly: William had been smelling the corks of some bottles, and becoming somewhat excited, he displayed to an assembled multitude a blaokjack, which he flourished quite freely. A gentleman "in blue" supposing he was affected by the heat, Informed the Alderman, and the latter sent William to the place named to recuperate. Coal Oil About 11-30 o'clock yesterday morning one Mary Boyle, aged 28 years, residing in Watt's court, Twenty-fourth street, below Spring Garden, possessing more Inventive talent than ordinary common sense, attempted to hasten the ignition of some smouldering kindling wood by pouring coal oil on It from out a o,uart can. It Is scarcely necessary to add that said can cannot now bo found. ' Mary has taken up her residence in St. Joseph's Hos pital. ' .. Tub Register's Office. The will of Anna MjcAnale, admitted to probate to-day, contains a contingent bequest of $1000 to Hannah H. Morrison, the same at her death to be paid to the pastor of Trinity Chureh, Eighth ward. Augustus Benson, Jr., deceased, has left no will. The will of Francis Cooper, Jr., has been filed, but contains no public bequests. Attempted Robbery About ten minutes of 12 o'clock last evening thieves attempted to force an entrance to the cigar store No. 1241 Carpenter street. They had succeeded in pry ing open a shutter when they were discovered by officer Feeney. The thieves seeing him ran off. He fired two shots at them, but they man aged to escape, none of the shots taking effect. Electricity. During the continuance of the storm this morning the barn of Select Coun cilman Charles Thompson Jones, situated at Roxborough, Twenty-first ward, was fired by lightning and totally consumed. One horse was burned to death and another badly injured. A Shawl. Yesterday James McNeill entered a house on Twelfth street, below South, and, helping himself to a shawl, marebed off. Sub sequently Jaiues was arrested, and Alderman Morrow sent blm to Mpyamenslng. Hatsnd Caps Wholesale. Some time last night an enterprising individual entered, through a rear door, the hat and cap store of A. Hess, No. 1010 South street, and helped himself to a portion of the stock, amounting to f 100. DONALD DINSIE. Cuaroe of Pfrjurt Befora United States Commissioner Biddle to-day was arraigned Ben jamin Smith, on the charge of perjury, which consists in swearing that a sailor who perished by the foundering of a British vessel was - the husband of. a Mrs. Catharine Hansou, and on this she obtained his prize money.

Kvenmo TKUtoiura OmarJ Thursday. Ang. It, 1870. J In this market the weather to-day interferes somewhat with financial operations, and the 'supply in consequence appears in excess of the demand, but the rates for all classes of loans are fully sustained both at the banks and In the outside market. Only first class paper is nego tiable and long dates are current only at excep tional terms. As a rule the banks limit their discounting to regular customers only. The gold market continues very active and unsettled, the fluctuations being rapid and wide. Sales opened at 110, declined to 115J, and advanced again to 116 before noon. Government bonds are steady in this market, but there is no material advance in prices. The London market Is reported very strong this morning, bat our own refuses to respond, the impression being universal that the foreign dealers rule the market for their own profit. The stock market was dull and prices were generally steady. In State securities there were sales of the sixes, third series, at 111. Lehigh gold loan sold at 83. Reading Railroad was dull and weak; sales at 4848. Camden and Amboy was steady, with pales at 116. 37 was bid for Catawlssa preferred, and 27 for Philadelphia and Erie.

' "The Gold Room was greatly excited to-day over the European war news, and as the drift of specu lation Is in favor of a lower premium, commensn rately with the success of the Prussian element of the great contest, the report of another PruBslaa victory, received by the cable to-day, started a further downward niovefnent, the extremes to-day being 118 and 1T. Moreover, the course of the market was characterized by few of the traditional reactions which are so common to such a movement. It was a steady decline from the moment dealings commenced at the Board. Trie formal opening price was 118. from which there waa a decline to 117 during the forenoon. At 12 o'clock, when the Assistant Treasurer opened the bids for the Government gold, and it was found that a total of t2,400,ooo was bid for, the competition so mani fested produced a reaction to H7tf, curiously ex emplifying the fact that the sale of Government gold, while generally productive of a decline, may produce an -advance when, as ir. such, instances, the offer to sell exhibits th9 demand existing in the market. The reaction was but temporary, however, for the intelligence of an ad vance to 6634S87 for eur bonds In London provoked fresh weakness, and when at length it was an nounced that the Prussian army had pierced the French centre and was on Its way to Paris, where,, furthermore, a revolution was said to be in progress with a view to the dethronement of Napoleon, gold fell to llftj. It Is not venturing too much to say that the fall would have been still more precipitate, , and even to lower prices, had not the covering or the enormous short Interest arrested the decline at such stage of Its downward progress. "It might be supposed that the Government mar ket would have responded more closely to tne higher quotations abroad, but the advance was barely a quarter per cent, in the leading issues. The reason of this is twofold. In the tlrst place, while htgb gold renders the principal of a bond less valuable in currency, low gold makes tne Interest less valuable. The real price of such a security in times like the preset) t is, therefore, a curious problem. In the second place, there is a wide-spread Impression that the bonds now on the market are speculatively held by the foreign bahkors, who were the first to create down their price a few weeks ago. The public, by which term the street includes Individuals, savings banks, and private corporations, are, therefore, exe cuting a sort of poetic justice in refusing to buy the bonds from the men who broke the market with a flood of sales and then loaded up at the lowest prices. It rtmalns to be seen who will profit by tho situation." . m I LEGAL inTELLiaEPTCTJ. Webster Convicted. Court of Quarter Sessions Judge Paxson. Ssmuel Webster was this morning convicted of 'the larceny of a gold watch chain and diamond pin, altogether of the value of 95, the property of C. Ci Mann.
