THE IRON CROSS.
Prussian llrnvery Rewarded en French Soil.
Ver.taiUcs (Sy( 26) Correspondent London Times.
There was a parade to-day at 10 o'clocckl which
will have a historical interest. It was held on a
remarkable arena. On the upper step of the two
from which arises the pedestal of the equestrian
statue of Louts the Great, stood a powerfully-built
man in the prime of life, of line bearing, with a fair
full beard and a keen bright eye. Two stars are
on his breast, but it does not need them to
mark the Prince of Prussia. He wears his flat
cap, with - peak and red band, undress frock,
ana long boots, coming above the knee. On his
leit anofflcer of dragoons held a salver, encircled
with laurels, on which was plaecd a heap of
the Iron Crosses and their ribands, which will mark
this war. The cross Is of iron, with a silver edge;
on one side is a crown, with the letters 'P. w.,"
three oak leaves, and the date 1813; on the other
Hide a crown, with the letter "W-," and the date
1870. Tbe riband is broad black with a white border,
on the right of the Prince stood a group of generals
and officers of the stair Blumenthal, Tampllng,
Klrchback, Volgts-Rhetz, CJottberg, Ealenburg,
Beykte, Seckendorir, Schlelnltz, Biasing, etc. On
tbe step below were ranged the Duke of coburg, the
Princes of Wurtemberg and Mecklenburg
Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern, and the Duke
of Angnstenbnrg, with their staff. In the court
yard, drawn up at right angles to the statue
of Louis the Great, a splendid regiment
of dismounted dragoons formed one side
of the square, of which that facing the statue was
constituted by two regiments In masses of grand
divisions in close order, with the oltlcers on the
Hanks; and on the left of the Prince, below, two
lines of troops formed a kind of alley for the reclpi
tuts of the crosses. A band of buglers and drum
mers, apart at one of the angles of the square, gave
a martial welcome to the Prince when he entered
and mounted the steps of the statue. There as he
stood were "France triumphant over Spain,"
'France triumphant over the German Empire," be
fore him, and Peace and Abundance nearer at hand,
and in monumental rows on either side were his
strange, grim body guard old Du Gnesclin,
grim Tureune, Bayard, Conde, and the smaller
greatnesses of Join dan, Maasena, Lannes, Mor
tier, and the rest of the Illustrious sixteen who
once adorned the Pont de la Concorde. Higher
utlllt Lift your eyes and see over those ferried
helmets ; Just across the angle of the statue or Louis
tbe Great, and above the Prince's head, as you look
from the left (f the court, there Is an inscriptioa on
flie front of the pavilion. The world knows it.
The words are, "A toutes lee glories de la France."
And the happy recipients of the Iron Cross came up,
one after the other, to the number of more than
thirty, and the Prince said a word or two to all,
shook hands with some, and when that cere
mony was over he iirew his sword, raised
it in the air, and with a loud voice cared
for "three cheers for the King." Tne
wonnded men in the gilded and pictured
galleries far away must have heard the cheers
which followed three great shouts as of one tre
mendous threat and then a general, Voigts-Rhetz
or Sadrath, called for "three cheers for the Crown
Prince," which were also given with Immense
effect, and the drums and bugles repeated a sort of
triumphant blare and ruille. Then the Crown
Prince descended from the base or the indignant
statu e, and. mounting his horse, rode out to the
Place d'Armes. where the generals and staff went
on foot to see the march pitst of the troops, which
excited the admiration of the crowd of Freuuh on
lookers. TJ1E MODERN PROTEUS.
The Ureal Prussian Premier-Frederick Knpv
on lllauiurek.
From the X. Y, Xation.
1 have never known a man who is so fall of re
sources as he. It is as If half a dozen Intellects had
served to compose his head. Physical and moral
courage, shrewdness, and an indomitable will, wit
hnd humor, sagacity and recklessness, a certain lu
tuitive comprehension of men's characters and calm
steadiness, 1 do not know which of these qualities
is most wonderfully developed in this modern Pro
tens, this personification to finish the Greek simile
ojkboth Ulyssus and Ajax. lie knows no practical
nofjeoretical ditriculty, and if there were still a
prof requited that he really is a great statesman, it
wourrl be given in tbe fact that he handles the obsta
cles thrown In his way as the most eillclent weapons
lor attaining his ends. Besides this he possesses a
frankness doubly surprising, as It always hits the
point, and expresses itself sometimes in rough but
always significant terms. Bismarck speaks English
with a foreign accent, but likes to use it with his
English visitors, and never misses the right word or
the right expression, or fails to give a sharp point to
his sentence. Ho enchants all liU visitors with the
atl'able manner In which ho treats them. Taey ex
pect to see a still', reserved state dignitary, ami thpy
find a ready talker, a witty companion, who laughs
as heartily as the do, and with the same irrever-
ence, at the oiiicial and unofficial nonsense which
rules this world whe likes and makes a good joke,
and chats with them as if they were old chums.
In his use of stromr expressions Bismarck cannot
be surpassed by the reddest radical. To a friend of
mine he said : "If you have some business with a
high Prussian functionary, a privy councillor, you
must l so rough that to beat him would appeur to
le the next resort: then he will be polite and oblig
ing." And on another occasion: "You have no
idt-aof the self-conceit or the whole royal race."
When be returned from his first Interview with Na-
Doleon. at Biarritz, he gave his opiulou of the Km
peror, who was a.mobt deified at the time, la the
few words: "A good fellow, bat a poor stick!" To
the Austrian Minister, when this gentleman rather
incredulously received one of Bismarck a assertions.
he said a few weeks before the outbreak of th 9 war
of 1866: "1 never make a false statement when
ever 1 ran avoid 1U in your case it is Lot neces
sary. Therefore 1 have no earthly interest to de
ceive you, and you can believe ray words." Whea
1 saw him in May last, Bismarck gave me some very
interesting details about his endeavors to bring
about the war against Austria. "I expected," he
haul, "to have been ready in the spring or lsiij. but
our Nlebelung treasure means the mobilization or
MKi.OoU men, aud It is difficult to raise it, to obtain
the order from the King. On account of the secret
and open opposition of the court dragons and of tbe
intrigues and cotillon influences of princely aod
noble eld women, it took ee years before tne
King Hgned the order of mobilization and declared
war. 1 was like a hunter creeping on his belly to
get a shot at the game, but 1 dually struck it after
enormous pains aud efforts. Whenever I thought!
had conunered all resistance, itew diiflcalties snrduir
up. 1o ibis court rabble I am indebted for my sick
ness, not to my open anu secret enemies, l xnew
beforehand that in 1866 we should be at the
AubtnanB. our generals, with the exception o(
great Moltke and bull-dog Stelnmetz, were
bsw s it.nei), oui our ngtiting material was excellent:
each soldier thought for himself, and the subaltern
ameers cannot too nigniy be pratsed for tueir Intel
lect. education, and braverv. If we had been da.
feaced at KonlggraU I should have been obliged to
leave the country, for to the hatred I richl enioved
on the part of the Liberals was added the bitter ani
mosity of the court rabble. An old friend and gene
ral who met me on the battle-field immediately arter
the victor? was won was perfectly right in say tug
to me: -mihs lime, iiisuiurun, our sotaiers, with
their needle trans, have fought you out of the scraps.
which is much better than if the old women, wita
their sticks, bad driven you out of the
country." In tbe Luxemburg question
in 187 I tried with all my power to avoid a
war with France, for war la aiwavs a poor, losing
business, and great nations have better things to do
l ii an to stnva tor military laoreia. ooce go to war
laid where will it end? Each vear I sained. 1 con.
sidered an immense pront. The French bad also
threatened Knglaud, and nevertheless it did not
come to a war. I therefore thought it my duty to
avoid It. If the French insist npyii a war they shall
have It, but I apprehend that we shall have a repe
tition of wars, succeeding each other, like those at
the end of the last and lu the beginning of the pre-
When Bismarck spoke these words all Europe wai
In deep peace, and uo one could have foreseen the
thorough thrashing which tbe Germans would give
the French.
"These diploma tints at small courts," Bismarck
continues, taking np another subject "are an un
mitigated nuisance; shallow, lazy fellows who do
not see anil observe public affairs, but pick np court
gossip from the chambermaid! or ladles-ln-waillng.
What can you do with these good-for-nothing cos
mopolitan loiterers? I cannot act as I should like
to, but since I have been at the head of the forelza
department I bave at least cat down the list of the
fatberlandless excellencies to one-half of their ori
ginal number." In this way he went on for an hoar
with scarcely an Interruption.
The popularity, however, which he has won by two
successful wars, will, I apprehend, wither In the
time or peace. Bismarck has neither Interest for
nor understanding of civil freedom, self-government,
and constitutional liberty. He is a despotic
character, he is an ingrained legitimist, who con
siders it a social calling to bold down popular de
velopment if It does not directly serve bis purposes.

THE CUBAN JUNTA DISSOLVED.

The "Central Republican Junta of Cuba and Porto
Rico" of Mew York was dissolved on the 18th Inst..
of course in obtdlence to the President's late Nan
trallty Proclamation and warning. The following
is the manifesto or tne rresiuent or tne junta an
nouncing the event:
isxw YORK, oct is. me president or tne unitea
States of America, with the object of enforcing the
existing naturalization laws of this country, hag
puuiisDco a proclamation wnicn, aitnougn not men-
loningtne uuoan question, contains remarks ttiat
may te considered as referring to It. This procla
mation demands of ns prompt consideration. No
teps oi tms kind would nave ueen necessary on
our part if tbe proclamation bad ended where it
("peaks of persons who, breaking the laws referred
to, bave organized military expeditions against
powers at peace with this nation, and bave en
listed armed forces and prepared cruisers
and other hostile ships, and likewise Issued com
missions for tbe command of raid forces and ships.
The undersigned is able, however, to declare sol
emnly that since he has entered upon the discharge
of the Presidency of tbe Central Republican Junta
of Cnba and Porto Rico be has been especially eare-
iiii, wnue sending supplies to tne uunan patriots, to
noia always in rememorance tne laws or tne coun

tims of oppression and tyranny in other lands less
favored by Heaven.
xne materials wnicn nave neen sent out or Ameri

merce. exported according to tne regulations im
posed by law, and with all the requisite formalities.
The men who have sailed from these ports to unite

out ior me anoiition oi slavery, were neitner en
listed nor organized here. As they were nearly all
Cubans, It was not found necessary to see whether
they were discharging their duty as citizens ; the
question for us was that of transportation. At times
these men in their desperation threw themselves
out upon the sea in weak vessels at tr tnminent
risk of tbelr Uvea; and if there chanced j be among
them foreigners, it may be said tha. these were
moved solely by the same generous feeling which
lnspiicd I-afayette when he came over bere to aid
the American people In their rebellion against the
isnut-n uovernment. as to tne aeapatcning or ves
sels, it will be sufficient to record as a fact that not
one of them baa been of service to the Cuban revo
lution; for, wnen not actually detained, they
bave bad to undergo a scrupolous examina
tion, which. notwithstanding the some
what unkina spirit la which it
baa been performed, has never disclosed reason?
why the vessels should not nave sailed. Such haa
been the line or conduct pursued by the under
signed and by the Junta nndt-r bis presidency. This
has been their rule of conduct observed, in all par
ticulars, winiiu American territory, ueyonu tins
ihevdidwnat tneir duties as ouiians prescribed.
and their consciences tell them that they have
rightly proceeded wan regard to tneir unhappy and
ucsiiiuie country.
The proclamation, likewise, condemns the collec
tion of money. The undersigned haa to say that
whatever means have been applied to tbe aid of
Cuba were contributed wnouy oy uuoans. and
offered spontaneously, and as to the patriotic girts
made under tne guise or a loan, its negotiation nas
been, up to the present time, effected privately, and
outside of and beyond any interference with laws
and authorities.
Allusion has been made in tne same proclamation
to the existence of bodies which assume control
over territories under the dominion of powers
friend v to tne unitea Mates, ana tms may De in
tended to refer to the various Cuban Juntas esta
blished In this republic, Such an interpretation
would, however, be as unjust as forced. The Cen
tral Junta of this city has not. nor have any of its
auxiliaries, pretended, nor could they pretend, to
exeiciae governing facilities within or with
out the United states. To do this would
be entirely inconsistent with the purpose
of their organization. Our Jnntas have
continued in strict conformity with tbe Idea that
they could not be considered as in any way in
fringing the very liberal laws of the United States.
We hold that we should follow the examples of
this country, ana use a rignt wnicn cannot be re
fused to any collection of individuals, whatever
mav be tneir situation mat oi cringing togetner
their means for the service or their country. From
the moment when our Juntas may be in danger or
being regarded by the administration as a means,
either direct or indirect, oi inciting to a viola
tion of established order, it will become the duty of
the undersigned to prevent his good and worthy
compatriots from coming in conflict with the de
c'aiattonsor the Executive. Should these not be
found In harmony with the genuine spirit or the law
nor with the noble aspirations or this great people,
upon Americans, and not upon Cubau refugees,
must the duty devolve of expressing opinions.
Yielding to the force of these circa instances, the
undersigned, denying, as he does, the applicability
t f the President's proclamation to the Cuban ques
tion in this country, considers it a proper moment
fo. the dissolution of the Cuban Junta, and with
this view and in accordance with the views of the
respective gentlemen composing it, he declares it
henc forth dissolved, giviDg notice hereby, so that
it may be understood by all.
Do nt t, Cubans, fear that this determination of
ours will paralyze, in the slightest degree, our efforts
to aid our brethren. Upon taking the position
where e have placed ourselves, let it be understood
that neither the legislation of the country nor the
strictest interpretation of law can in any way cause
us to thlLk of abandoning our sacred cause. We
can serve that effectively even in the narrow circle
of duty to which this Uovernment would limit us,
we can serve that cause not only from this Und
of libeity, but likewise from others which
wmpathtze profoundly, sincerely, and dis
interestedly with the heroic efforts of a people that
is almost in want of ail t hi Dps. aud without othr
suppcrt than right, yet struggles energetically and
with desperation against Its unendurable tyrant.
This duty, Cubans, we shall know how to fulfil with
all the force that a Arm and decided will inspires.
For my part, I shall not neglect to Inform you,
according to my judgment, of the most efficient
means by which this fulfilment can be realized.

STEAM IN WAR.
Novel Traction Enctae The Arts ef Peace la
Support of tleaillliles.
A correspondent cites tbe following as an evidence
or the use oi steam in mouern wariure:
Two traction engines were placed under the direc
tion of Air. Toppier. ana sent to ront-a-Mou&son
after successfully achieving a preliminary trial at
Magdeburg. At Pont-a-Mouason they were unloaded,
and as soon as they were ready they started with a
train or twelve wagons, tiea togetner oy cnains,
heavily loaded with bread and oats, tor Commercv.
The journey was accomplished In eighteen hours
without auv mishap, aud the engines were driven
over a road where tbe gradients in some places
were one in eight. The distance was about thirty
miles, and no one knew where either water or coal
could be procured on the road. A wagon filled with
water catks obviated one difficulty, while wood
aud rosin did duty for the other. The ene-ineers are
now employed in taking locomotives in pieces, to be
put together at Commercy, so as at once to set up
railway communication ueiweeu mat town, oeaan.
Kbelms, bar-le-L uo. Verdun, and Chalons. Tha
engines are constructed as follows: They are so-

Inches stroke, baring a slit pinion keyed npon It,
by means of three Intermediate shafts and gearing,
all m steel, communicates tbejpower to the driving
bind wheels of tbe engine. Tne power I aredaced
from 160 revolutions per minute or the crank shaft
to 7 revolutions per minute of the .driving wheels.
The latter are feet inches In diameter and 84
Inches wide In the tire thus pre
senting a considerable frtaUoaal surface
to the road. Tbe front end of the boiler
tests npon an axle and two wheels of 8 feet 8 Inches
diameter and 80 Inches in breadth. A cap Joint at
the place where the boiler takef its bearing allows
tbe fore carriage to adapt Itself to any irregularity
on the road and to facilitate the steering gear. This
latter is or tbe simplest description. Two long rods
extend from the fore axle to tbe ex'reme back of
the engine underneath tbe boiler, ending ia a pitch
chain which passes round a small corresponding
wheel. This is fastened to a spur wheel of i feet
In diameter, and, by means of a band wbeel attached
to an Upright shaft and small pinion, the
steersman, who stands on a small platform
attached to the outside of the tender of
the engine, obtains tnfficlent power to move the
leading wheels into, an angle snmclent to guide
tbe engine round a corner. The mist important
and the most useful addition to these engines
lies, however. In the winding apparatus. Under the
centre of the boiler, exactly in the middle, and re
volving upon a strong stand, is placed a drum,
capable of holding coo yards of seven-eighths steel
wire rope. By means or as upright shaft and bevel
gearing direct from the crank shaft this winding
drum can be put Into motion and Is ready to haul,
at a distance ef 460 yards, a load equal to 8)rf tons
strain upon the rope. This winding gear Is really a
most essential adjunct to a traction engine, for by
means of it heavy guns can be dragged up steep
acclivities. The engine weighs about 17 tons when
empty, and the driver standing in front of the fire
box has eveiy bandle within reach of his arm. Tbe
cost of each such engine is, I believe, 1000.
THE TVniTES AND REDS.
The Tefeat ot the "Keri HtonklnaV'-What
Caused It Unmereaa View mf tbe Uame.
The special correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, in his report of the recent base-ball match
between the White and Red Stockings, at Chicago,
says:
We were beaten! We know It, we feel It, but
bow could we help it? The umpire was against ns,
the weather was against ns, the crowd was against
us, the heavens were Against us, the ground
was against ns, the pestilential air of the Chicago
river was against us, the Chicago nine was
against ns, and last, but not least, the score
was against us. Our gallant boys entered tbe city
where they were doomed to be sacriOed at about 11
o'clock on Wednesday evening, and at once sought
their temporary abiding place the Briggs House.
The night was spent by the boys in the arms of tbe
god of sleep, and when tbe blazing rays of the rising
sun burst upon tbe city of wickedness, not a sound
Issued from their chamber bat the labored breath
ing Indicative of the deepest repose. At about 10
o'clock the offerings to the Chicago idols came
slowly down the staircase of the hotel and
wended their way in melancholy procession
Into the breakfast-room, where they were fed npon
tea and crackers, to make them feed light and ready
for tbe fray. They moved around tbe hotel after
disposing of tbe frugal repast, and were followed
by a train of mourners, whose woe-begone and anxious-looking
countenances told too well that they
balled from Cincinnati, and were looking for a faint
ray of hope in the lengthened and solemn-looking
faces of the gallant boys. On the way to the ground,
which Is situated on the outskirts of the city, we
were saluted by numbers of rising Chlcagoans of a
tender age with demoniac screeches, violent contor
t'ons of tbe facial muscles, requests to go to a cer
tain place where the thermometer indicates
the same high figure all the year round, and
other pleasantries too numerous to mention. We
heeded them not, but with resigned expressions and
folded Arms looked stolidly In one particular dlreo
tlontU we reached the place or execution. Dexter
Park. An Immense crowd, among which were a
large number of the most beautiful ladies in Chicago,
were awaiting the approach of the doomed knights
of the bat and ball, and when the Red Stockings
were discovered a long and loud cheer swelled forth
Bad announced to the expectant persons who occu
pied eligible positions for viewing the operation at a
distance cf two or three squares away, that the
entertainment would- soon be Inaugurated. The
executioners, under the lead of one Jimmy Wood,
had been upon tne field for some time previous to
the arrival of their victims, and had donned their
UBual attire. The preliminaries were soon arranged,
and a gentleman named Robert Ferguson, who Is a
member of the Atlantic Cluo of Brooklyn, was
choFen to ree that the unfortunates were despatched
without any unnecessary delay. The spokesman of
tbe Red Stockings was then asked if they had any
thing to say. and replied "No," whereupon, every
thing being In readiness at about 1)4 o'clock, Michael
McAfee, of the White Stockings, toed the scratch
ready to deliver the first blow on behalf of bis com
panions in w ime stockings. s
FRANCE IN ARMS.
The Reawakenlnar The Second Grand Army.
The Time' correspondent at Tours writes as fol
lows:
What I bear is that the uovernment reckons on
soon having an army of 260,ooo men between the
three central places of formation Tours, Bourges,
and Lyons and the Intention Is said to be to menace
the Geiman rear and cut on their communications,
which might certainly cause mem mucn trouble.
Bismarck told somebody the other day he had 850,000
men round Metz, and if this be not an intentional
exaggeration (it baa generally been believed there
were only aboat 150,000, but reinforcements may
possibly have come np), a portion or that large force
might; probably be detained to meet the new levies
now organizing in oentrai Tance, wnicn are not to
be looked upon as an army of recruits, but as con
sisting in great part of old soldiers, so long as the
sieges of Metz and Paris are undecided, and unless
more troops are sun coming irom rrussia, tne uer
man commanders may deem it Inopportune to de
tach army corps large enough to go to any consider
able distance from those two centres of operations.
As regards the defense of Pa is, it Is probable the
garrison will tight well, but mere bravery under cer
tain circumstances becomes an unprofitable waste
or lire. I am assured that the detached forts are
wholly unprovided with casemates. If this be true
they are mere shelltraps nida a bombes, as the
French would say. Much weight need not be
attached to Count Blsm trek's declarations that
the place is to be starved into surrender. The
probabilities are that If tbe French can bo
driven out of the detached forts the Prussians
will attack Paris. The last thing they will do, ir
they can help it, is to risk an assault. There is
fretty constant communication now between the
oreltrn Office and Tours. Three messengers are on
the station. Should M. Oremleux and his colleagues
be driven by a Prussian advance to leave Tours, it ia
supposed that they would go to Toulouse. Thence
their line or retreat would be on Marseilles. France
is thoroughly roused, and the spring to the front is
universal. Will that suffice? If Metz and Paris can
hold out for some weeks much may be done. It
strikes many people as extremely odd that the pro
vincial Gardes Mobiles are such a much finer body
or men than the infantry of the line. It looks as if
all the best men had been left at home, and all the
puny, narrow-shouldered, knock kneed lads taken
uy tne conscription.

Revision ot the Statutes.
Despatch to the Associated Press.
Washington. Oct 17. The Hon. Bcniamin
Vaughn Abbott, one of the Commissioners for
tbe Revision of tbe Statutes, now holding dally
sessions here, publishes a card concerning the
effects of the repealing clanse in the new patent
law, which has been under consideration by tbe
commissioners. He states that the new patent
law appears to give full effect to the
evisVnt legislative purpose, without
crcMing confusion or embarrassment
in other branches of the public service. The
(jommissioncr concludes: "For myself 1 entered
on this detailed examination or the statutes
with grave apprehensions that the objections
so positively urged against the act of 1870
could not be surmounted by any rule of legal
construction. BuS those apprehensions have
been wholly relieved. The language or method
of the statement employed by the act is very
concise, nut it is not too conciso ' to
afford a reliable guide. ' Rhode-Island has
rendered valuable service to tbe nation in the
labors of Mr. Jenckes, to whom one hardly
knows how trucly tbe framing of the clause la
question is attributed in general law reform;
and 1 am pleased to reach the conclusion that
tne new law cans tor no senons deduction from
tbe balance standing to tbe credit of that State
In the account ot contributions to the national
prosperity."

was not right, she came after us full tilt. We
went to quarters and loaded tbe guns and
waiteu lor mm to come up. we jogged aIonr
at our usual rate of speed (six knots), and
Frenchy after us, with biffxrew at their quar

we thought he intended putting a shot across

out tbe 11-lnch gun, when he shoved off and

The local money market opened this morning
with a moderate demand lor loans, both on

pital. Call loans are freely offered at 5tf per
cent, on Government bonds, and. miscellaneous
collaterals and commercial paper is In good
demand at 7(&9 per cent, for Al names. Loans
of three to four months are negotiated without
difficulty.
