back to the line of the Moselle, harassed by
Prussian cavalry, which has already passed
Saarlouis, Falaiaement and Les Etanges. .
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

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.

siderable interest lately, has been finally settled
in favor of Banta Fe. General Getty yesterday
received from the department headquarters an

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.

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.

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.'

The Uau.iL Weapon. 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.

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 balance
of the list was overlooked.

N. Y. MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY.
Trom tht JV. r. Herald. '
"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." .
