THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1870. ITALY. A T.trlnr t? Ilrv. Alrxnnrirr Ileed, I). I). Jnterratlnar Inronnnllon Conrrrnlog Italy nnit the liallnns. The Rev. Alexander Reed, I). D., of this -ity, last evening delivered a lecture in the West Arch Street Treehj terlan Church, on the sub ject "llalv a 1 saw It." Of the able cllort the following is an abstract: "On the Mediterranean eea, like a huge boot ivbich Napoleon would have been mont happy to have put on lies the peninsula now called Italy. In this country every portion of the soil is a pilcriinac. every peak and plain, every rock and river, is redolent with anti'iuitv. The Italy of to-day, exclusive of several islands, is about as large as New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. It is arranged in three terri torial "divlBionn, the Kingdom of Italy, the lie public of San Marino, and Monnca. "It was on the evening of a perfect summer day that I came from the northward to one of the most beautiful cities of Italy Naples. It3 beautiful bay was a splendid mosaic under the rays of the departing sun. It was a picture never to be forgotten, and the grandest feature was old Vesuvius, toward the Fouth, able, and seemingly willing, to destroy all. "Soon after arriving, our party started for a TiEit to thU far-famed mountain. Wo drove southward from Naples, some six miles to Kceina, where we exchanged carriages for ac tive, suro-footed ponies, and began the ascent. From this point to the crater it is about 1) miles of travel. At the point of 2000 feet elevation, 2 miles from the crater, Is the hermitage, where e rested beneath the last trees we should find on the ascent. "The crater, full of vapor so as to be impene trable to the eye. was some 500 feet wide, a Tast caldron a third of a mile in circumfer ence, and, couching upon its crumbling edge, we peered into its invisible depths. A stone hurled into it went down, down, down, until no shuddered as it ceased to be heard. At everal places through the thin crust the fires were visible, and we touched them with our staves. "Pompeii is reached by railway, and is 13 miles from Naples. This city was founded long before the Romans held the couutrj. In the year 70, just 1701 years ago, when Titus ruled in Rome, when the gay people of the city were busy buying and selling, feasting and mourning, and were intensely absorbed In a municipal election, all forgetful of God, then suddenly a vast column f black smoke burst from the mountain five miles away, and, rising to a prodigious height, it gradually spread itself out, hiding the sua and overshadowing the earth for many a league. "The smoke and thick cloud were broken only by blue and sulphurous Hashes, and it was fol lowed by a rain of ashes and showers of small hot Btones, mingled with heavier masses. Then an aqueous vapor condensed into rain mixed with the ashes that filled the air, and poured floods of liquid mud upon the doomed city, crushing in roofs and streaming through streets, filling every nook and crevice until there was no shelter left. Those who had not fled, or who returned for gain, had no escape. Those who had taken refuge in cellars and secret vaults were scaled up forever. Thus, In three days, eighteen hundred years ago, Pompeii and ller culaneum perished from the face of the earth. "The cities as resurrected look much like a burnt district in any city would look. The im pression that you are in a Roman town of old Is so vivid that you find yourself almost instinc tively wondering where the people are to-day. The houses are open to the sun, just as if occu pied. The streets have deep ruts cut in them by the chariot wheels of long ago. We enter a house unchallenged, and inspect the arrange ments. The Hoor of the vestibule is laid in mosaic, with the Latin word, Saloe welcome) or Mowers worked into the design. The houses and Bhopa are generally small, usually of but one story. "At the distance of 130 miles by railway from Naples is the Eternal City on the Seven Hills of Rome. One of its great attractions is St. Peter's, on the 'site of the former temple to Jupi ter. St. Peter's is a landscape, other churches are gardens. The temperature in the interior is cool in summer and warm in winter. Its windows are never open. It has an atmosphere of its own and requires no ventilation. Thous ands of people in it give it only the appearance of emptiness. "The Vatican, the capitol of the Roman pos sessions and the palace of the Popes, is as dif ferent from other palaces as St. Peter's is from other churches. It is an accumulation of palaces, built at different periods by different Popes. With its gardens it occupies as much space as the city of Turin. It contains between four and five thousand rooms. It has miles of pictures, statuary, manuscripts, and books. As a museum it is the first in the world. Its library, besides its tens of thousand.! of vol umes, has twenty-five thousand manuscripts. "The Colosseum of Rome or the Flavian Amphitheatre is one of the greatest sights. Vespasian began it, and the Jewish captives completed it under Titus and his son. When it was inaugurated 5000 wild animals and 10,000 human captives were slain. It covers six acres of ground. In the same vicinity is the principal entrance to the Catacombs. These vast subter ranean excavations served-as the places of refuge and w orship, and also the burial place of the early Christians. "The city of Venice is a wondrous marble fower built upon the surface of the sea. Here ne has a peculiar sensation in being met at the railroad depot by a carriage in the shape of a boat. No city exerts so strong a spell upon the imagination. It is a new kiud of living, it upsets all old habits. In external Venice there are but three things to be seen sea, sky, and architecture; but if you start out to see them, there as elsewbero you will drown. Think of the tide coming in to your front door twite a day. Think of having to call a boat if you ouly want to put a letter in the Post Ollice or make a call next door! Rut there nra compensations for all in conveniences. The streets are never dusty. U'eeides, children never fall out of the windows In Venice and drown, for they can all6wlm. You are never out of water to wash because of a drought, though drinking water is poor enough. 'lime will not allow a description of all the Italian cities, but after all, though the couutry Is everywhere so beautiful, one is glad to cross the mountains and come into Switzerland the republic, and the home of the brave. There we are beyond despotism of Church or State. We are exhilarated by the free air. We rejoice that wt are republicans. We breathe freer and rest. "Our description of the country has beeD more In praise than Maine. While wo are glad and thankful that we are Americans, it is not thought best to travelas do some as judges through all the earth, believing that there is nothing good but at home. While there is much to condemn, it is not always beet to speak of it. The object of this sketch is not criticism, and therefore not to spy out defects." fO-V KTEIXUETZ. The Vmeit !( kla lleuival, all Last. The correspondent of the New York 2Vt inne, writing from before Metz under date of October Bays: The leading facts in connection with the appointment and subsequent removal of Von bteinnieU may cot be out of place here. I believe that they are not yet accurately un derstood outside of oilioial circles. I have them, quite recently, from an undoubted source. At the opening of the campaign the King, who did not too highly respect Von bteinmetz'a talents, appointed him, by his personal dictum, against the advice of hid Council of War, to the command of the fir.it three main bodies into which the army ops rating against the French Rhine armies was to be divided. J lis stated reason for si Join.;; was that thereby a signal refutation would lie, piven to two widely-prevailing popular pre ju dices first, that in Prussia herself the nobility were to be favored in the dispensa tion of appointments, in preference to talent when exhibited by persons of vulgar birth; aecondly, that in the Southern ri'.atoi of Ger many the Royal Houne of Frtiflsia was dis posed to arrogate to itself the lion's share of the prerogatives and honors of the cond'ict of the w ar. Thus, the Princes of the bio id came in command second and third after a man of comparatively humble origin. This went all well until the battles of August at Met, where General Von Steinmetz, on his own responsibility, without justification, disoboyed the positive orders of the commander-in-chief, in pausing the Moselle on the south side of Met instead of the north Hide. I lad he done the latt er, as ordered, the repeat od but ineffectual and, terribly costly nttacks of the 7th and Mb, Corps on the enemy's position nt Mosctn-ste. Hubert, from the Hois de Vnnx and the Hois dos Ognons, would have been replaced by an easy and presumably successful and far less costly attack by the same body frani the heights of the 13ois du Saulny. There tho Geruinas would have had the advantage of high ground against lower positions of tho French, and would not have had to cross, at such immense loss, such deep and steep ravines, in tho f aco of the enemy's concentrated lire. From lSa.aine's first posi tion, when attacked, on tho Mctz-Vcrdan road, he could not have so readily turned to answer tho attack if the latter had como at once from the north and southwest, ns he did ngainst these narrow heads of columns which approached him from the south and south west only. On his repulse, during the the evening of tho 18th of September, his only possible line of retreat would have boen down the dangerous defile of Gravelotte by Ars-sur-Moselle, into the valley of the Mo selle (the very line on which Von Steinmetz wrongly camo up against him), and Dazaine's retreat into Metz, oh the morning of the 19th, would have been rendered impossible. He would have been cither crushed in yet another battle, or chased down the Moselle towards Nancy, which movement would eventually have subjected him to a like certainty of annihilation. After this event the King personally ex pressed his displeasure to General Von Stein metz, and ordered him to report in future, not to the great headquarters of the army, but to that of Prince Frederick Charles. Upon this the temper of the General, none too sweet ordinarily, grew notably irascible and ungenial, which quality he took such pains to manifest in his personal and official intercourse with tho Prince, that at length the relations of the two grew into a public scandal at headquarters, seriously disturbing the serenity of the official atmosphere, and threatening ultimately to vitiate the discipline of the armies concerned. This led to the removal of Von Steinmetz, not at the request of the Trince, but at t hat of General von Moltke. Since then matters stand as above described, in a curiously pied condi tion an "army" composed of two corps, and provided with a general staff of its own, yet without any commander, but the commander of another "army," of which the first men tioned forms part. That the influence of modern ideas regarding "equal rights' is gradually forcing those who are the na tural opponents of such idea3 to cede them some recognition i3 evident. not only from King William's appointment of a man ot the people to an important com mand over higher born officers, but also from the fact that the chief of the stall of Prince Frederick Charles' army Gen. Stiehle is a man not even as yet endowed with the en nobling preposition, which has usually fol lowed on the Reels at least, if it did not necessarily precede, all high civil or military distinctions. Ibis man, still quite young, rose solely by his talents, and was chosen to his present position by the Prince in prefer ence to men of far longer service and of in comparably "olderMainilies.
