THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH -PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 1870, 3 27X2OTB SUiyiaiAUY. CHv Affair Lflhl night, about 10 o'clock, James Cleary and James Monnghan met at the pnb lic house of Mr. Bonnoll, Ninth above Chesntit street, and were drinking at the bar, when some worda passed between them of an ex citing character. After remaining in the F&loon a few moments Monagban left and was absent a short time, when he returned, and finding Cleary still there, pulled ' from his pocket a revolver, which he lired at Cleary, the ball taking effect in the groin. Mr. Bonnoll, at the time of the firing, was in a separate room conversing with his wife, but bearing the report of the pistol, hastened into the saloon, where he found Monaghan in the act of again firing at Cleary. He im mediately interposed and endeavored to wrest the weapon from his hands, in doing which be received some injuries by the snapping of the pistol. Monaghan was soon after arrested and removed to the Sixth District Station House, while the wounded man was taken in charge by his friends. Cleary stated that there had existed for some time feelings of resentment between Monagban and himself, owing to a political quarrel. At about 11 o'clock on Saturday evening, Christian Ersman, residing at No. H District place, and John McBride, residing at No. !01 Vine street, got into an altercation in a di inking saloon on Vine street, above Ninth. Ersman became very much excited and left the saloon, returning shortly with a large knife, with which he inflicted three severe cuts on McBride, one in the side, which is the most serious, one in the shoulder, and one in the neck. The wounded man, who is very seriously injured, was carried to his beme, and yesterday morning was taken to the Hospital. Ersman after committing the deed went to his house, where he was snortly followed by the officers, who found him on the roof en deavoring to escape over the adjoining bouses. He was secured and taken to the (Sixth District Station-house, where he had a bearing before Alderman Smith, and was com mitted to prison to await the result of Mo dule's injuries. Yesterday morning a dead infant, about one month old, was found under a wash stand in a retiring room connected with the Qermantown and Norristown Railroad, at Ninth and Green streets. The child had been strangled, and it is supposed that it was placed in the washstand two or three days since. The Coroner took charge of the body. Two steamboats crowded with colored people left the city yesterday morning, to Attend the quarterly meeting of the African Union First Colored Protestant Church in Wilmington, Del. A large number of men, women, and children were left on the wharf, the boats being too crowded to accommodate them. On Saturday night last the dwelling of Mrs. A. Bascomb, No. 73." South Eleventh street, was entered through a rear window and $57 in money and three fine handker chiefs were abstracted therefrom. Domestic Affairs. Gold closed on Saturday at 110J.

HOW THE GERMAN ARMIES ARE DISPOSED MACMAHON's MARCH FROM RHEIMS NEARER STILI, TO PARIS BAZAINE'S CAPITULATION IM MINENT. London, Aug. 28. (Special to New York Tribune.) Our correspondent writes from Macllahon's headquarters at Ilithel, on Aug. 2X: We left Itheims yesterday at 5 P. M., and arrived here at 3 A. M. to-day. The troops had preceded us. The town and snrroundiug country is one great camp. MacMahon's army here is com posed of the 1st, ;tb, 7th and 12th Corps, and the cavalry of Canrobert's (!th Corps. The Emperor and Prince Imperial are here. We move on Friday to Mezieres. Afternoon The troops have already started, and by Friday morning the whole will be gone. Ihe movement is rapid in the extreme, but the troops are fresh and in good spirits. Berlin, August 28. The disposition of the different German armies is as follows: There are eighteen corps d'armee, containing 40,000 men each. First. Steinmetz has the 1st, 7th and 8th corps at Metz. Second. Prince Frede rick Charles has the 2d, 3d, 9th and 10th corps at Metz. Third. The Crown Prince has the 5th, Gth and 11th corps and two Bavarian corps inarching on Paris. Fourth. The aimy under the Crown Prince of Sax ony contains the 4th and 12th corps and the Saxon and Prussian guards. Fifth. The army under General Werder com prises the Wurtembcrg and Baden divisions, and is engaged in the siege of Strasburg. Sixth. The army under the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin is on the Rhine. Sev enth. The army undei Generals Von Canstein and Lowenfield is at Berlin. Three of these ar mies are in reserve. Paris, August 28. Marshal McMahon's main army is at Stenay. The Lmperor is at Kezonvilie,anu the Prince Imperial as Rethel. The Prussians push their reconnoissance as far as Montmedy. La Liberte of to-day says: "A general of the army of the Rhine arrived in Paris last night and had an interview with the Empress, and started immediately on his return, we may expect within a day or two a brilliant combat." La Liberte adds " that a person who saw the Emperor on August 25, affirms that the armies of Bazaine and McMahon are near each other." The Journal of France of to-day, says: "We learn from a certain source that before order ing the army of the Prince Royal to march on Paris the King held at Pont-a-Mousson a council of war, composed of generals and princes commanding the Prussian forces, and the advice of all was to remain in the ter ritory which had been conquered, fortifying the right bank of the Moselle. The King alone determined to march on Paris. The Prince Royal slept the night before last at the prefecture in Chalons. In case of a siege of Paris the government officials other than ministers will go to Tours, Burges and Lyons to administer the provinces uninvadod by the enemy." The Gaulois says: "It is reported that the Prussian administration of Alsace and Lor raine is exceedingly tyrannical and exacting." The Conxtitutionnel says: "The army of the Prince Royal, reinforced by a part of the army of Frederick Charles, is marching on Paris through the valleys of the Aube and Seine. The Prussians must know how adventurous such an attempt is, and must be aware of the peril in which they are leading their main army. McMahon may cut off their communi cations, and place them between two fires. To avoid this danger the Prussians made great efforts, and three times attacked Bazaine with overwhelming forces, which the French army successfully resisted. The enemy then, de spairing of being able to conquer him, decided to keep Bazaine checked and march on Paris. "From Paris to Sierck, the nearest point on the German frontier is more than 100 leagues, and this line the Prussians must defend against our armies and numberless sharpshooters and Gardes Mobile, and to be able to subsist on our territory 000,000 invading Prussians must extend their lines vastly, and must disperse their forces, a thing so fatal to us in the com mencement of the campaign." "Our revenge," says the Conntitutionnel, in conclusion, "is near." The arrest of vagrants and suspected parties has been suspended by an order of the prefect of police, who has no more places in which to keep them. The journals say that tbe persons under arrest will Boon be disposed of, and the arrests continued, as the population are loud in their exclamations against Germans and others now in the city, who, incase of a siege, might be capable of acts of treachery. The Figaro says: "Contrary to the line of conduct hitherto pursued,and the charge is suf ficient to show how often the military plans of the French have been modified during the last week by the authorities, the people are invited to impede the enemy by all possible means. Bridges are to be blown up, railways cut, roads blocked, scouts killed and the Prussians harassed in the flank and rear. Should this means of resistance acquire an importance which can scarcely be counted on, the enemy will not be here for httean days. Otherwise, which is more probable they may reach Paris in a week. ' The latter opinion prevailed in the Corps Legislatif yesterday." The Opinion Rationale says: "The Ger man journals and those of Belgium have as serted that the troops of the landwehr are not yet in the field, with the exception of the artillery. Nothing can be more false than this statement. Every one acquainted with the organization of the Prussian forces is aware that the first call ot the landwehr, consisting of men from twenty-five to thirty-one years of ace. have formed the greater part of the Prussian forces. Not only did that portion of men enter the field as soon as the momlizition of the army was ordered, but the rogiments, brigades and divisions of the second ban of the landwehr in He provinces nearest to France have reinforced the armies of Charles and Steinmetz. The fact of the second section of the landwehr being called on for service outside of Prussian territory has not occurred since the campaign of 1815, and "Prussia, therefore," says the Opinion Rationale, "is making her final effort." Over 250,000 beeves, sheep and hogs are now in Paris. In the Corps Legislatif, yesterday, Palikad announced that 10,000 Prussians had attacked Verdun, and wire repulsed, with heavy loss, and he gave the particulars, previously tele graphed. Marago demanded information on the situation of the Prussian armies, but the Minister of War declined to reply. The law calling into the ranks married men who have served in the army was rejected. Paris, August 28, via Brussels. The sieges of Strasburg, Toul, Thionville and Metz have made no progress. The capitulation of Bazaine for want of supplies is expected. La rresne says the oilicial announcement made in the churches that the Prussians are marching on Paris causes neither astonish ment nor fear in the capital. The Parisians re ceive it with quiet resignation. King William is fatally led to this in spite of serious strategic reasons which should turn him from it. If it is considered that this obstinato old man, has raised a million ot men, whom he will never take back across the Rhine, it will be early to risk a bloody battle at the foot of our towns. There is not one German in all Prussia, Bavaria, Wertcmburg, or Baden, who would not scorn and curse tho King should ho not make a supreme effort to come here and dictate peace in Paris. How can he return to Germany in the midst of the destruction of families, tho misery and depopulation of city and country? Should he not win a bloody success his defeat would bo complete. This is the decisive reason, more political than military, which brings the old King under our walls. Paris, August 28. Special to New York Times. I have just seen a private letter from Robert Mitchell, late editor of the' (Jon- utitutionnel, to his father, dated at the head quarters of McMahon, at Rethel, on August' 25th. He says: "You know I was down hearted when I left Paris at tho progress of tho Prussians. Since I have been with our army my mind has been completely changed, and I am now certain of our ultimate success. Since our first unfortunate-defeats on the Rhine, our army has never come into collision with the Prussians without maintaining its positions and inflicting tremendous losses on the enemy. I saw and conversed with the Emperor yes terday. He is in excellent health and spirits. It is impossible to describe the enthusiasm of the army. He leaves this afternoon in the di rection of Metz, but that is no indication of our real route. Rest assured that in a few days you will receive news that will surprise you. LoNnoN, August 28. Special to New York World.! The statement of the Opinion Ra tionale that Steinmetz was badly defeated on August 22d and Prince Charles en the 24th is not confirmed. Private telegrams from Berlin say the Prussians have 300,000 troops along the line of railway, ready to move across the Rhine, to reinforce either of the German ar mies in case of defeat. Prussia cannot move these troops to the front yet, owing to the de ficiency of feeding such reserves. The King and Crown Prince advance rap idly on Paris, where immense preparations are made for defence, r uteen hundred guns are in position and provisions accumulated for three months, but there are loud com plaints from the inhabitants because tho Crown Prince has been allowed to advance unopposed. There is talk of moving the government to Lyons with the vast army now assembled. We have no tidings of Bazaine or McMahon. It is believed the latter is endeavoring to re lieve Bazaine at Metz. There will be heavy fighting soon. Prussia cannot afford a long campaign, but France can. To-day there are great rejoicings at Berlin. A public procession, carrying four mitrailleuse, twenty-three cannon and one eagle, captured from the French, passed through the streets. The Queen came out on the balcony of the palace, and received the congratulations of the people. AT THE OPENING. Excellent DlnpoHltlon of the French The Flrat Herloua uiunaer iuaae Dy Tnein. The Pall Mall Gazette of London, in an artl cle on the opening of the campaign, says: The disposition of the French about the time of the declaration of war was excellent. It was evi dently part and parcel or a long-considered plan of campaign. Three corps at Thionville, St. Avoid, and Hitciie, in inenrst line, immediately ontne irontier; two corns at Metz and Strasburtr In a second line: two corps in reserve about Nancy, and an eighth corps atueirort. witntne amor tne railways, an tnese troops could be massed in a few days for au attack either across the tiaar from Lorraine, or across the Rhine from Alsace, striking either north or east as might be required. But this disposition was essen tially one for attack. For defense it was absolutely faulty. The very first condition of a disposition of an army or aerense istnis: to nave your advanced troops so far in front of your main Inxly that you re ceive the news of the enemy's attack lu time to con centrate your troops before he arrives upon you. Suppose it takes you one day's march to get your wings to close on your centre, then your advanced guard should be at least one day's march in front of your centre. Now, here, the three corps of L'Admirault, Frossard, ami De Fallly, and afterwards a portion of MacMahon's too. were close upon the frontier, and yet spread upon a line from Weisseuburg to Sierck at least ninety miles. To draw in the wings on the centre would have required fully two days' march; and yet, even when the Germans were known to be wunin a iew nines in irout, no steps were taken either to shorten the length or front, or to push for ward advanced guards tu such a distance as would secure timely advice of an Impending attack. Is it to be wondered at that the several corps were de feated by piecemeal? Then came the blunder of posting one division of MacMahon's east of the Vosgea, at Welssenburg, in a position inviting an attack with superior forces, Douay's defeat brought on MacMahon's next blun der In trying to retrieve the light east of the Vosgea, there separating the right wing still more from the centre, and laying open his line of communication with It, While the right wing (MacMahon's, and portions at least of Fallly's and Canrobert's corps) were crushed at Woerth, the centre (Frossard, aud two divisions of Buzaine, as it now appears) were severel beaten before Saar- bruck. The rest of the troops were too far awav to come ud to assistance. L'Admirault was still near Houzouvllle, the rest of Bazaine's men and the Guards were about Boulay, the mass of Canro bert's troops turn up at Nancv, part of De Fallly's are lost sight of completely, and Felix Uouay, we now end, on tne ist oi August, was at AitKircii, in the extreme south of Alsace, nearly 120 miles from the battle-Held of Woerth, and probably with but Imperfect means of railway conveyance. Tne wnoie arrangement indicates nothing but hesitation, inde cision, vacillation, and that in the most dcclsiive moment of tne campaign. A widow lady who resides near El ml r a, N. Y., complains of the celdness of her husband during the last year of their married life. For tbe first year be used to address her as his dear, then as his little goat, and with his last breath he referred "lovingly" to her as his "old sorrel top." The failure toinveut any other term of endearment for her may have been the cause of her death. MACHINERY.
