BATITE BY BEBTHOLD ACERBACH.
Berthold Auerbacb, who has been sum
moned to the headquarters of the Grand
Date of Paden, has commenced a nories of
letters on the siege of Strasburg. The most
recent abound in picturesque incidents and
narrative:-
August 21. No Sunday bells raasr out In all
Alsace to-day; not the 'less do the villagers
stream out from every hamlet towards the
churches. The peasants are nitonishei to see at
church so many of our soldiers, and of btzhor
and lower ollicers, all attending without orders.
Wonderful coincidence, the t!ipel lesson, tenth
Sunday after Trinity, was Luke, 19th chapter
and 41st verse: "And when lie was come near,
He beheld the city, and wept over It, saving, If
thou feacist known, even thou at least in this tby
day, the tbiugs which belong unto thy peace,
but now they are hid from thiae eyes. For the
days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies
shall cast a trench about thee, and compass t hee
round, and keep in on every side, arid shall lay
thee even with the ground, nnd thy children
within thee; and they shall not leave in thee
one stone upon another; because thou know
est not the time of the visitation." Is it not
Btrangc that upon this day this text should fall ?
for on this week will events move forward, per
haps even the destinies bo decided by Strasbnrg,
the city stolen by the French. And within it
stands a hallowed relic of German architecture
and German piety. Evil reports fly about.
It is said that Commandant t'lrlch has
declared that when Strasburg can
no longer be defended from the German
forces, he will blow up the Cathedral and lay
the crime upon the Germans. That would be a
sad prospect. The inclosing In of which the
Gospel speaks falls not. By Lampcrthcini stand
JWOU peasant wagons. Round about 'in all the
villages and on the roads cannon of every cali
bre up to the heaviest siege advance, with abun
dant ammunition. An exchange of despatches
hurries to and fro. Our pulses beat quicker; we
have plunged into the whirl of an historic drama.
The arrogant Governor of Strasburg Citadel
must no longer feel secure, at least he is throw
ing out ballast. This morning 100 German sol
diers, who had served in the Foreign Legion,
were thrust out, ten at a time, at all the doors,
with the threat that if they turned
round they should be immediately shot
down. The poor wretches stood be
tween two fires. Some of them wore
French uniforms, and were naturally regarded
by our troops as Frenchmen. As they neared
our outposts, who knows how many would get
fired upon ? I saw two of them brought in.
They were born Pomeranians, and fell iuto the
bands of their own iandsfolk. The expulsion of
these people may be regarded as a symptom
that discipline inside the fortress is in a very
precarious condition. And yet it is said the
commandant, simply because the French arms
hare Buttered defeat in the open field, now de
clares that they will vindicate their honor in
the fortress. But after what fashion ? By the
sacrifice of a beautiful city and of thousands of
its inmates. Is that to be called a vindication
of honor ? How much effort is made on our
side to show forbearance is evinced in the re
newal of strict orders to spare even in the min
utest detail the property of the Alsatians.
PARLEYS.
Aco. 22. At 10 o'clock this morning some
commotion is visible on the roads, and in the
houses at the end of the hamlet of Mundols
heim, where one looks out npon the Black Fo
rest range, among the higher and lower ollicers,
the surgeons, nursing staff, etc., and to and lro
one sees in rapid movement the little wiry, iron
firm figure of our commander, General von Ver
der. A spare, close-shaved, ruddy presence,
with blondo moustache and sparkling eyes, he
moves hither and thither, issuing commands,
receiving reports. Two horsemen
gallop up, one, a burly, powerful figure,
holds a white flag; a trumpet is slung
round him. He remains on horseback. The
other, soung, agile, sinew', swings nimbly
down from tho saddle, and hands over a de
spatch. It is our cartel bearer, with a trumpeter,
who has jubt returned from the fortress. The
sroup fall back. General Werder and Colonel
Leszinsky read the despatch apait. Werder
from time to time gives short, decisive nods.
What does the despatch contain ? Those who
know are not allowed to divulge. One thing is
good. Commandant Ulrich writes French and
German equally well; his despatches are long,
ours are brief. The groups disperse and re
form. The Grand Duke of Baden gallops
up with his adjutants; the genuinely
hearty and intelligent goodness of soul
which speaks out from the features
of the mun has acquired already during the
campaign a heightened expression. It requires
all the uneelfish openness of character of this
Prince to maintain bo freely and frankly the
position he has hero chosen out. Without an'
independent command, ho is the embodiment
in many ways of the central, cohesive forces of
this Baden division, who, though a less brilliant
tasK be assigned to them, nave one exacting the
utmost skill, courage, and endurance. The
Grand Duke is greeted with fittiug honors. All
the other officers betake themselves to the resi
dence of the commandant. It is quiet in the
street. Soon a sympathetic group forms itself
round a young man with careworn visage. lie
is another Strasburg exile named Schlei, born
in Zurich, and has been for two years
clerk in the house of Stahlinir &
Co. While passing through the streets with a
Prussian friend, he was overheard speaking
German, was instantly arrested, and with four
othess was thrust into a small cell in the Maison
civile, tne so-caned jNew lower. Here was a
wooden sloping bench, on which one man
could lie, two could lean against it, the fourth
had to walk up and down. Later, they were
taken, with fifty others, to a prison.
Anions: them were many brewers' men from
Bavaria, torn from their wagons and carried to
jail; they were in their shirt-sleeves and leather
aprocB. The Lausanne Missionary Society had
bunt to that of Btrasburg four men as aids. No
sooner were they arrived than the cry arose,
iney are spies. iney were arrested and im
prisoned. In vain the society reclaimed them.
They were eent off to Kehl, under an oath to
reveal nothing.
ACTION, NOT WORDS.
Aug. 2j Evening It Is decided. Enough of
2'Ourpnriers. uur patience is worn out. To
night the bombardment opens, at first from the
artillery at Kehl. Commandant Ulrich, who
requires us to display every species of humanity
wmie ne exnioiis none miuseu, requested yes
terday that he might 6end tho women and chil
dren out of the city. Apart from the impossi
bility of our undertaking; this, there is the quar
tering them or conducting them away, for nei
ther of which we have the means. Many other
inconveniences are obvious, and besides this is
war; and we cannot relieve the commandant of
the difficulties which should force him to a
surrender. Want and hunger, the tears
and lamenting of women aud children
are indeed heartrending at least for an army
of citizens such as the German army is; for
how many thousands of them have leit wife
and cniid to stand before me bullets of the foe?
But within the fortress the misery of the inno
cent, may be, will at length constrain the com
mandant, who vapors about his military honor.
to desist staking human life upon his gambler's
game of glory. The game is lost; do further
stroke ot hazard will avail. l he com
mandant further required of us to forward for
him a letter to his wife in Paris. This was cour
teously acceded to. This aftornoon at Mundol-
ehelm it was strangely quiet. It was like the
deep inhaling of one's breath before a mighty
cry of alarm was pealed forth. As I returned
to Lampertneim ti oops of Bavarians met me in
blue blouses, with axes and shovels, who mast
work to-night in the trenches. The willows
along the road, and far into the thickets, are
cut down to make gabions for me trenches.
Troops of artillery follow them, fine, sturdy
fellows, full of courage which knows no bouods.
At midnight the fire opens. I g' to the heixhu
of MundoUbeim, which command Strasburg
and all the landscape round, to witness the
KNOCKING AT TUB OATg.
At OfftT Si F.arly morning. The aiiitatloa
of heart we feel at this moment I cannot da
sciibe. The story of the Judgment of Solomon
is repeated. W bat is Strasburg to the French ?
It is no bone of their bone, llesu of their tleh;
therefore, rather than the other one should have
it let it perish. We. however, feel Alsace very
near to us, aud Strasburg has a sound we cherish
deep down in our hearts. We would save the
lile of the fair and, spite of all, the German city,
not deMroy it, and yet must we aim at It our
deedly chattering cannon balls. In this frame
of mind, in good CDinpaniooshlp, I passed the
foreposts. The heaveus were obscured with
clouds. In a side road, artillerymen
with low voices were practicing the
fcrvice of the guns. Higher up, we mount be
tween the vineyards; on the horizon flashes are
si en, leaping forth in quick succession, like
svninicr lightning; tho wind blows from us, and
jet we continually hear the dull, deep sound of
i he cannonade. There goes a ni'gbty knock for
admission. In Strasburir many light's were kin
dled, but in no long time extloirulslind. Be
neath us, at the foot of the hill on the roadway,
the movemert of carts and horses went on un
interruptedly. It was like the strange rush of
a torrent, and between whiles one heard the
frrqutnt cry of the wagoners, and the call of
commands. From Strasburg a fla9b, a report
made frequent reply, but of no observable
accuracy. Silently we turn back to our
quarters. In the liollow of the road a
heavy gun bad 6lruck against a boundary stone,
and 6tood fast. Mysterious figures stand in the
daik night beside the sun, and heave awav
under the cry "steady." A troop of Uhlans
come out of the village. A ponderous mortar
gun is set afloat, and proceeds crashing, crack
ling, shaking the foundations of the causewav.
Another gun follows. The soldier?, who have
thrown their grey jackets over their uniforms
and have a weird spectral aspect, ride away
from the remounting of the cannon, nimbly
leaping on their guns and ammunition as they
proceed along exultingly. So through the
night do our fellow-citizens join in the erciee
of the Fatherland. In the village a
lantern is hung out at every house to light the
Boldicrs on their way.
BBFORE STRASBURG.
Aro. 25 Before Strasburg, morning.
Strasburg burns! In this word are crowded all
the horrors, terrors, anguish of heart we experi
enced in the past night. My eves yet smart from
the fire flashes, my hand trembles still. So was
it to be 1 Again there is a night of St. Bartholo
mewfor such was the one just passed with
detestation to be graven in history, but not
through fault of ours. On those who must needs
deck their heads with glory, on their heads alone
lies the blame, l he worst injury an enemy can
inflict npon a man, upon a people, is to force
them to acts from which they recoil with aver
sion. We are in the position of a man who
declines a duel and yet is compelled to
shoot down his adversary. Unhappily it must
be done. But yesterday we made otters to the
commandant of Strasburg to come out or send
a truety oliicer, to convince himself that resist
ance was In vain, and that we could only with
the utmoct pain briug ourselves to fire even a
part of Strasburg. lie replied, an inspection of
our position would be construed as a first pro
bability of his surrendering the fortress. He
Lad, however, resolved to defend it to the last
man ani the last cartridge, it was said yester
day that the broad pillars of smoke testified
that Kehl was again set on file by the French.
We kept quiet until the break of even
ing. The columns of flame in Kehl
flared up wide, mounlirg heavenward, and
incessantly were fire-balls hurled thither
from the citadel. Now began on our side
the fire flash for Hash, blow for blow, they
were returned with interest. There, the citadel
blazes up; the fast falling night revealed every
fire-flame. Bombs soared aloft and descended.
Now the city was on fire north from the cathe
dral. It must have fallen on inflammable mate
rial, for instantly the flames shot heavenward.
From this point who can paint the scene ? Here
and there It blazed up; we saw four, five confla
grations; two united, and presented a vast roar
ing furnace. The wind blew from the west,
and fanned the flames they darted up forked
tongues of fire. A spectator cried out "See
mere now tne catueurai towers aioit aoovc mo
clouds of smoke, how venerable, as if
mutely threatening and reproving tho meu
who nun reckless names against eacu otner.
''If the cathedral docs but remain unharmed."
was the cry that ran from mouth to mouth, aud
nieanwhllo feelings of deep compassion were
expressed for those within the city. Inspirit
we are transported among those now wailiug in
vaulted cellars, as they heard the thunder of
tho guns, Ignorant where tho fires were raging,
perhaps even their own hames. And in the
streets the fires must be left to rage unchecked.
Who could Btrive to quench them while each
minute further discharges are falling ? llow
many cry out to their own dear ones,
ttek them, and are like beings
bewildered in their own homes. hat
shrieking, what misery! If oue could
but comprees together the heart-throbs of
the people, far louder, quicker, mightier must
be the stroke man tne deep roar ot tne guns.
which, incessantly discharged, lit up the gloom,
here tbcre till the eye cculd no longer follow.
Midnight had set In before we decided to go
home. We could see each other as in full moon
light. The fields, the vineyards, were lit
up; the churen ot .viunuoisueim, witn
its white grave-stones; euddeuly the light
grows etill brighter. Now that we had
not seen tne names ior a time, tney ap
peared broader, stronger, more voracious. It
was uiuicuit to tear oneself away lromtue tear
fully grand spectacle, and yet it must be. The
villagers we met professed to know which part
ot the city would bo 6aved from the flames. We
strove to believe' their assurances that the pre
cincts of the cathedral, above all itself, would
remain uninjured. And yet for a moment it
feeined to us that the catueurai terrace, which
bad been the observatory of the enemy, was on
fire. It was, however, an illusion. Tiie flames
illumined our homeward way. The sky was
overspread with light clouds of a blood red.
The fire must have been visible beyond the
lihine, far back into the Black Forest.

The It. Louis Democrat of the 15th Instant says :
The untimely death of Mian Lemma Barkeloo, a
young lady who had recently been admitted to the
Bar, has already bean announced. The members of
the Bar met jesterday morning In the Probate Court
room to pay a tribute of respect to tUe deceased.
Hon. Albert Todd was elected President. On taking
tne cnair, Air. too a aaia :
urot tiers: we nave come rogeiaer on an occasion
of profound sadness. In the death of Miss Barkeloo
the bar of SU Louis loses a member ,who was the
first of her sex who had received license to practice
In the lilchest courts of the State. The fact la
worthy of our attention; for In the variety of occu
natioua onen to women, she chose our erofeaslon.
wnicn is regarded as tue most uimeuiL &ne was tne
first woman to undertake this herculean task; yet
she was entirely free from those impulses which
of late have led many of her sex into the arena
monopolized heretofore by mem, aid which we
call the advocates of woman a rights. She was in
the first bloom of womanhood, in excellent
health ; no one who saw her one presence and open
countenance couiu Buy sue entered upon the pro
fession from morosenesa or disappointment. She

the bar of this city will erect a momr-iit-nt to her,
with a broken column, trptcal of Iter Milm.
The following resolutions were read by Mr. Woo Is
and unanimously adopted :
taiolvft?. First. That In the death of Mim Lorn nit

everadmltrfd to the bar of Missouri.
Second. That in her erudit'nn, Industry, an I en

credit upon our profession and a new Xxowtr upon
her sex.
Third. That our sympathy and condolence be ex
tended to the relations of the deceased.
JMr. Woods, a classmate of the deceased, paid a
tribute to her mcmorr.
Major Luton, in whose oillee she studied and
practised, spoke oi her as a well-read lawyer, an un
tiring student, and an agreeable and amiable friend.
She was earnet, quiet, and retiring in lur studies,
and being gifted with a line intellect and a good
judgment, gave rronite of great attainments, lie
lutd never known a student more asslduons in his
studies; she wanted to become mistress of her pro
fession. Hers had been an experiment, and if any
woman could have succce'led Miss Lemma Barkeloo
was that woman. Her death Is a calamity not to her
friends alone, but to all who are making an effort for
the enlargement of woman's sphere.
Mr. Baton said also that the deceased seemed to
have a premonition of her death, for though in
splendid health she had given to one of her Intimate
friends her parents' address, aud soon after, when
taken sick, she said she felt it was her Urst and her
last Illness.
The Chair appointed Mr. Alexander Martin to
present the resolutions ot the meeting to the Su
preme Court, Mr. N. M. Woods to the Circuit Court,
and W. If. 11. linssell to the Criminal Court, after
which the meeting adjourned.
The remains ot the deceased were taken to Brook
lyn on Tuesday evening, accompanied by her
mother, who had come on to attend her during her
illness.
