f THE DAILY EVENING TKLKOlUl'll PHILADELPHIA, FIUPAV, SEPTEMBER 30, 1870. THE GRLAT FRENCH SCIRE. YVIdesrrend ('astrrnn.tlosi la the Provinces. The London b'lturdni lie tie ie says: In justice to the people, we must recollect the circumstances uudur which this terrible eiperience came upou thetu. Only a few days before, Saverne hail seen the French regiments marching through its streets with jaunty step and joyous couiidence. Then all of a sudden, without warning, in the twiuk ling of an eye, they were back again; but in what a plight ! straggling fragment of broken battalion, maimed, limping, and famished, whole companies destitute of offi cers, carts full of wounded, men and even officers begging bread from door to door. We have French evidence that MacMahon's re treat from Woertb was an utter rout; and the panic of a shattered army which fled even be fore the dust raised by one of its own division?, thinking it tho enemy, could not fail to infect the population. M. About and M. Texier have both described the scenes which followed. The inhabitants, snatching up their children and such small gooJs as could be carried, rushed from their homes, scarcely knowing whither they were bound, falling in exhaustion by the wayside, encamp ing for the night in the mud and rain, in utter helplessness and despair. "I knew not," says Texier, "where we were going, but I went with the crowd. What a crowd 1 Old men, women carrying their infants in long clothes, little girls of four yearg old clamber ing along paths lit only for the chamois; cries, tears, desolation. They had taken everything they could take, and more than they could carry. The men staggered under their burdens, the very children had iheir loads." This was only a type of many similar scenes. Whole villages and oven towns took to the road as the tide of pacic flowed on. At Mul honse a few energetic citizens barricaded tho streets against the flight of. their townsmen, and forced Many of them to stay against their will. Nancy surrendered to a handful of Uhlans. Little more than a hundred Prus sians took possession of Luneville, the chief cavalry garrison, the Canterbury of France. Fpernay is almost the only instance where the people themselves have made front against the enemy. Everywhere else the Prussians themselves have been amazed and even alarmed at the absence of resistance. The very wording of their proclamations to the inhabitants of the invaded districts ex pressed tho apprehensions which have been so 6trangely disappointed. There have been grumblings at the amount of the requisi tions, curses not loud but deep, a scowl on the public face, but few overt acts of vio lence. Surprising as all this may appear at first tight, especially in the case of so proud and spirited a nation as the French, it admits of easy explanation. Nothing could be more unjust than to ascribe it to any want of courage on the part of the people. Their behavior has been only the natural and inevi table consequence of the policy of their Government. For eighteen years they have been drilled and disciplined into apathetic and unreasoning obedience. They have not only been asked but compelled to trust every thing to the Emperor, the great entrepreneur de talut 'public, who made national safety, like tobacco and the post oiibe, a Govern ment monopoly. The people were disarmed, " the National Guards curbed and paralyzed, the press gagged, political discussion pun ished by official persecutions, if not by more direct and legal penalties. A limb long be numbed by oppressive bandages and enforced want of exercise does not recover all at once its strength and elasticity. The prefects who governed France under the direction of the Minister of the lute xior were scarcely less strangers to the com munities over which they were placed, or less remcte from them in sympathy and co-operation, than the Prussian officers who seemed to drop from the skies into the centre of populous towns, making instant requisitions of food and money. The second nature of babit is not readily shaken off, and the accus tomed obedienoe of Frenchmen to every thing in the shape of official orders explains their instinctive submission to Prussian de mands. Even, however, before the disaster of Sedan and the downfall of the empire, there were signs that this was only a transient mood, and that the people were already be ginning to rouse themselves from their first fit of stupor. It was, indeed, impossible that they could long remain quiet under such terrible experiences. There are limits to human endurance, and both as regards na tional humiliation and personal losses the limit seems in this instance to have been now reacted. THE DECADENCE OF THE FJiEXCII ARMY. Ft cm tht London Saturday Review. Nothing in the history of this wonderful war has so astounded English readers, as the stories constantly received of the decline of discipline in the French army. It was no doubt well known to men who try to ascer tain the facts of things that the discipline of that army was peculiar widely different, for example, from that of Englishmen or Prus sians. Frenchmen in a hostile country are very apt to get out of hand, to straggle and plunder, and commit outrages which exaspe rate the population, and even in battle they claim a right of opinion, of deciding whether they will or will not go under fire, which in most armies would produce mere anarchy. There were whispers during the Italian war of extraordinary scenes in the way of strag gling, and after 1.VJ murmurs were heard about an entirely new evil having made its appearance a spirit of insubordination in home cantonments, leading to outrages upon the neighboring villages. Some very strong representations upon this subject at one time reached Eng land, and attracted attention at the Tuileries, but the eirprit de torps in the French army is so strong that it was considered advisable to hush up everything. It was, however, be lieved that all these breaches of discipline, straggling excepted, had two causes, the imperfection of the commissariat and the celi bacy of the army; and those best acquainted with armies men who knew something of the secret history of the Peninsular war, of the China war, and of the momentary but ter rible outburst of crime which once frightened Madras attached the least importance to these stories. There will be stragglers, it was said, in a conscript army; the outrages axe unusual, and owing to bad management; and the occasional refusals to advance are due to the extreme intelligence of the French rank and file. The men, though familiar with their officers, obey them cheerfully; they form up instantly when wanted for service, and in' actios they are beyond praise. In this war, however, the consensus of opinion is of a very different kind. Not ooly English men, with one voice, but Frenchmen of re pute, affirm that the discipline of the army Las deteriorated in a strictly military as well as a moral point of view; that the relation be tween officer and man has somehow grown tense so ter.se that the officers are uf rai I in some catts to jne oxikra lvKt the boui fcbonld break. Wo hear of rothing of th kind in Metz, where the Guard is surrounded; but the accounts from Sedan re heartbreak ing to the friends of Frauce infinitely m ire disheartening than any number of defeat. There are still regiments, like the .V.th, which go into action 2wt) strong and come out .' ).). but over a great seotioo of the army it is clear, unless, indeed, all correxpoadeut, French and English, are in a conspiracy of falsehood, that a most dangerous spirit u is extended itself. The men are without respot for their officers, abuse them especially the generals with savaqe freedom, and on the first reverse insult and even fire upon them. All accounts whatever M. Jeanne rod's, Dr. Russell's, the English correspon dents', the German correspondents', even the French correspondents' of English ppr are all unanimous on this point, that indis cipline has crept into the French army, with its invariable consequences inefficiency, dis order, and reluctance to act except wheu the advantage to ke gained was visible to the soldier, while many of them speak of actual hatred existing between the officers and men. Take this single statement out of a dozen. It is from a correspondent of the Ttkjrap't, an officer who served through the Crinpm war, who is therefore not moved by a little tem porary disorder, and who entered on his mission a profound believer in the perfection of French military organization: "I confess that Borne of the revelations made by the re gimenial officers by men whose wounds and mutilations bore testimony that they, at any rate, had borne their share of hard knocks quite startled me, and reminded me of much that was brought to light in the Bengal Army after the great mutiny of 1H.17." "I am quite prepared to have much, if not all, that I have written above, not only disputed, but flatly contradicted in England. But I can only say that I have chapter and verse for every word I have written; that my informants have been officers of all ranks; that I have here, at Sedan, and elsewhere, spoken to nearly a hundred officers upon the subject; that not one of them has differed, even in degree, from what the others had re lated; and that very many I have spoken to, certainly half of them, were men who had themselves risen from the ranks. One and all say that they do not attribute their con tinned defeats by the Prussians half so muck to the superiority in numbers of the latter, as to the immensely better artillery they pos sess, to the utter want of discipline in their own ranks, and to the worse than ia compe tence of most of their general officers', parti cularly of those commanding cavalry bria les or divisions." KAlLKOAl) PERILS. Pnrllcnlnrs of the ttliirh Kxnscrnted Accident la Hie Irish .Mall Train. Telegraphing from Tamwnrth, on September 14, in relation the accident which befell the Irish mall train, the Daily Xew correspondent speaks thJ3: "Tlie statements current of the loss of life have been much exaggerated. Fortunately the result has been fatal in three cases only. The following is a lift of the killed up to the present time: Samuel Taylor, engine-driver, Stailord; Thomas Davis, stoker, Stailord: Father H-3alcy, Tower-hill, Lon don, a Jioman Catholic clergyman, la his pocket was found a tourist's - ticket from Kingstown to London. He was In the carriage next the guard's van, that nelng next the engine. The escape of the guard, Charles Reeve9, was little short of miraculous. His van was pitched over the engine, and he sustained only a slight shock. lie lies at the Tweeddale Arms, close to the station, and the- only physical Injuries he complains of arc a slight blow on the head and a contusion of the shoul der blade. Two mall clerks, Wilcox and Clark, were shaken, but not severely Injured. Clark was thrown into the water, where he is said to have remained for nearly an hour. Wilcox remained at Tauworth. At Tarnworth Station there are four sets ol rails; t lie mail should have been allowed to run on the inner up line, but the fatal mistake was committed, ilrat or all. In allowing the points to stand open so that it was turned in to the set of rails running close to the platform. From this line, had a double fatality not aitended It, the train should have been turned out again to the main line, but here the siding poluts were open and the fated mail turned into a short siding about a hundred yards long, at the end of which, and crossing under the main Hue, flowed the river Anker. The embpukment at the end of tho siding was literally swept away, part of the parapet of the adjoining bridge knocked down, and the en gine and seven carriages went headlong into the water. Alfred Evans, the pointsman in charge at the station, was an old and tried servant of the company, lie was appreheddod soon after the acci dent, but until lull Inquiry has been held it woul 1 be unfair to attach any blame to him. Tne mail van was smashed to atoms, oat the mails, though wet, were saved. The Injured passengers were five In number, but their names can Bot be ascertained. They were attended by Mr. KulTe, surgeon, Tarnworth, and a medical gen tleman from Birmingham. Mr. Ruffe reports that the injuries are not of a dangerous nature. Father King, a friend of the deceased Father llealey. re ceived some contusions. It was reported that a lady passenger was missing, but late in the afternoon a telegram was received tnai sne naa reached ner destination in London. There were about thirty passengers, and all, with the exception of the three dead and five injured, proceeded on their Journey by the next train to London. The np line was blocked for three or four hours only, and no Inter ruption took place In the trarllc ou the down line. Three or four of the carriages were completely smashed, but those near the end of the train were apparently uninjured. DISASTER OX THE AMAZON. One Llnndred and Thlrtv-one Uvea Lost by a Mieasnboat Collision. From the Anglo-Brazilian Time, August 22. A most disastrous accident occurred during the night of the 7th of July, about twenty miles below Manaos, upon the River Amazon, owing to a colli sion between the steamer Arary, of the Amazonas Company, and the I'urus, belonging to the Compan bia Fluvial, by which the Purus was sunk, and of 2u4 persons on board only 73 were saved. The re- Eort of the commander of the Arary, Captain Perelra eal, is to the following effect: "At 9 F. M., on the 6th of July he was called up by the officer of the watch in con sequence of a steamer's lights being seen ahead. He gave orders to go at half speed. The Avary was then ascending about sixty feet to seventy-five feet from the shore, bugging it to keep out of the current of the Madeira. Finding that the course of the Furus would bring on a collision, he shouted to her to stop, and sounded the steam whistle, but In vaiD, as the Arary struck the de scending Purus forward of the port paddle box, cat ting deeply In. On backing the Arary the Purus commenced sink lug. The boats of the Arary were at once got out, each with a light ia it, and seventy three persons, Including the commander, Captain Eduardo de Brito, were rescued. Wheu daylight came search was made along the shore, but no others being seen the Arary tbeu continued her voyage to Manaos. This ves sel had two large holes In her bows, un der water, but the forward partition kept her from sicking. At tie time or the collision it was A. M." According to the accounts of those saved, the I'urus left Manaos at 11 P. M. o. the 7th. The com mander says that when he went to bed the vessel was in charge of the master, but the pilots and the heimsman say there was no officer of the watch on duty. The helmsman also asserts that tne collision was dn to the error of the pilots, who In spice of bis remonstrances, attempted to steer Inside of the Arary. It is also alleged that the pilots were both Intoxicated. The Purus sank in three minutes after the toriifcion, ami an explosion occurred, either from the water ronuing into the furnace or from Injury to the boilers, which rendered the loss of life gi eater. LOST AT .SEA. I ... . , , . . ' .. 1. . ... I the feurvlvora la New Yoru History of Ike Ilaytlea Vessel. Mr. James Watson, chief oftlcr of the steamer Galatea, arrived ia New Vork yesterday with a few survivors uf that vessel, which foundered at sea ou the 13th Instant. The Galatea was a oark-riggd propeller oi l'iou mis, and was built in lset for the V cited Mate Navy. She participated In th Mock arte of the Southern ports, and at the close of ttie war was sold to the Ilaytien Government. the was in several actions under Sainave, and when the latter was captured she was sold to a Mr. Reviere, ol Port-au-Prince, who sent her to petit Gonaives, where she loaded with a cargo of lgwo'(i, and was consigned to Kowier, Canoi at Co., ol li.ion. U-aviDg Port-au-Priuce lu a very .taty tciiUit.ou, fche jjoeuvu lier voyage With out any notable occurrence until tic l.Hh, when sh sprnng sleak, and In spit of every effort t J keep tne witfr down, rapidly filled. After twelve hours of Incessant U'vir at the pumps, the steamer having ten feet of water tn her hold, the captain and officer determined n ahvtd mi her. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the 13th, th. first snd second cutters were launched and nro visiotis placed in them, but there was no f rcMti water In consequence of the sea having risen Into the tanks. 1'erfect.order was observed In abandoning the vessel, and after the second cutter ha I sti vel rrr, with the second officer, first assistant engineer, and fourteen seamen, Captain Oordon, with Mr. Watson, ThouiBS Kdwards, second assistant eng. reer, and eleven seamen took to the first cotter. There was a heavy swell, bnt no wind, and at ten minutes past Ave trm steamer sank, stern foreraont, with Hll nails set. The two boats steered forAoiCo, in the Banaroaa, but the nlirht being dark they ! came separated, and nothln was sen of the second cutter's lights after midnight. Next morn ing the first cutt-r saw a schooner, aoout twelve miles distant, and tried to overnaul her, bat with ut success. At 9 o'clock that night the schooner Taraplco, of New Jersey, Captain Lombard, apppared, and picked up the cutter, landing Captain Gordon anil party at Kev West, Irom which place they were for warded to Baltimore tn the steamer Cuba, by Mr. Tint, the agent of the Baltimore, Havana, and Ne Orleans steamship Company. No fears are enter tained by Captain Gordon or Mr. Watson for the safety of the se;nnd cotter, as she probably roached Abaco on the same night that the first cutter was picked up. A'.

The Korth German correspondent (seml-otllcial) says: "We are Informed, from a gnod source, th it when peace has been once sigued wii Prance on the basis of the cession of F.lsass and Lothrlngen an event which, In spite of French gasconading, cannot be far distant It has been decided that these two append ages of the old (idrman i. noire, Instead of being broken np and apportioned among diircrent States, are to form a border territory, covering and pro tected by (lermaoy In general, and governed, as far as possible, in a judicial and economic U point of vIpw, according to their existing customs and insM tutlons. The fortresses of Metz and btrasburg will, naturally, be ganlsoncd by German troops, but the population of the two provinces will, for the present, be dispensed from service In the (Jcrnian army, nor will thty be represented in tne Kelchstag. The formation of a German outlying territory, as a pro tection against the filibustering designs of France, is of course only a provisional measure, Intended to remain in force till the inhabitants, mindful of their old history and lineage, have again heartily thrown In their lot with German kinsmen. This plan is bsed on the national and political intetests of Ger many, which Is resolved to put a stop, once for all, to French aggression, and terminate the long-continued efforts of France to Impose her "protecto rate" on the South German States In other words, to make them her vassals.; DRY GOODS.
