Since writing the succeeding article upon. 4 ' The War'? despatches have been received fulfilling our conjecture that the Prussians in tended massing for an attack upon the French centre at Pont-a-3.loussein, midway between Nancy and Metz. It is asserted that a vigor ous assault upon the French position at this point is to be .made immediately., .It may freely be declared that a' Prussian success at this place will involve the retreat of the French army, to Elie line of the Meuse, whether 'there is a battle . 1 before Metz or not. Meanwhile we have news from. Berlin that there has been, contrary to our conject ures, an engagement in front of Metz, in which the Prussians' were victorious. The details are not given. It. may be that the demonstration 'atPontit , liousson has ended in - a battle, which bas been erroneously located at Metz, or per chance the former movement was only a feint to disguise the real concentration of the Prus sian army upon the - French left at Metz. We shall have the details or anexplanation in a few hours. THE WAR The news from the seat of war this morning, ~tltongh highly_important.is . in one respect per plexed and contradictory. We are wholly una ble positively to determine from perusal of the reports whether Metz has been evacuated the French or not. One despatch says it is now in the hands of the Prussians , i.while of • the - others, one declares that the French army still holds the _city,. and the rest convey the same impression from their general•tenor. We think it may safely' be assumed that the latter report is correct.. We have no details of the evacuation of the place, such as would ineyita_. 'lilybe supplied if the story were trae, - and we think it tuilikel the French would abandon'it without a struggle. lf Metz is outflanked by the Prussians the French may be for . ced to withdraw, but we have no evidence that this feat-has-yet - been performed. -But we have positive information of a most important char acter. The situation of that force of MacMa hon's which has been flying before the Crown Prince ever since the battle of Wissemboum is at last discovered. 3facMalion did not attempt to hold any of the strong posit ions in the central pass of of the Vosges. He pressed right onward to Nancy, and occupied that town either on Thursday night or Friday morning. it wa , considered certain that MacMahon would make a stand at Nancy, for this was understood to be the left of the French position, and it was asserted that 'Marshal Canrobert held the town with a force of fifty thousand men. Probably because his troops were exhausted, beaten and demoralized, because Canrobert was not there and because the Prussians threatened to cut the communications of Nancy with the man, body at Metz, MacMahon evacuated the cit.:, on Friday, and fell back across the MOselle to Tool, twelve miles nearer Paris, blowing In• the magnificent bridge over which he had crossed. The Prussians immediately entered Nancy, and now bold the city. This is by all odds the most important capture yet made the Prussian army. Nancy and the ad joining town of Fronard command tip railroad to Metz, and MacMahon can wily communicate with the main army of the French by the public highway. It is evident that the Prussians are striving to force back the whole French line which stretched along the river and the railway be tween Metz and Nancy. Upon the day of the evacuation of Nancy the Prussians attacked Pont-arMoussoe. a town on the railway, half way between Metz and Nancy. This attempt to pierce the French centre was successful l but ,the Prussians withdreW Itthr taking the place. Possibly the demonstration was only a recon noissance in force to ascertain the fact of the presence of the enemy. This attack was made by a pOttion of the army of the Crown Prince, *lose force has now formed a junction with the main body of the Prussian army. Thv right and centre, under Priuce Charles and General Steinmetz, are placed directly in f .rout of the French position, and the whole army Bow reaches from Nancy down the Moselle to, and probably beyond,Metz ; the headquarters of monitors. The Admiral took the lead in his the Prince and Steinmetz being at Horny, a flag-ship, the Dartford, and during the hottest, small town twenty miles from Metz on the of the engagement he had himself lashed in a railroad leading to Saarbruck. It appears that high position in the main rigging, from which the army of . Prince Charles engtiged in he could see everything, and give orders most active 4monstrations immediately about Metz, intelligently. The particulars of the glorious for we hear of the capture of immense quanti- battle of Mobile Buy are fresh in the minds of ties of supplies near that city, and the entry to our readers, It resulted in the entire destruc the town of thousands of frightened peasants, and capture of the whole rebel fleet and the whose presence cannot but add to the conftt- surrender of all the forts, - with their garrisons. sin and alarm with which the city is filled. 7 he. people at the North were electrified at the It is a splendid triumph for the Prussians news of this great victory. When Congress that as the result'of a single battle they have met, he received a vote of thanks, and the crossed the Vosgeis and entered the valley of rank of.

If this is accomplished we skill by Mitt. 'Faritagmt and a distinguished stab', vis nekt, hear of the retreat of the entire French iced also the principal capitals'and received the army to, the line of the Meuse, with Toul, oc cupied by 'McMahon, as the extreme right. Ipllits case Metz "would probably be left in_ charge of a garrison as Strasbourg was. The immense fortifieations of the city are of little use in the presence of . an army whi t ch can control the whdle of the surrounding country. The value of the advantages secured by the Prussians by occupation of Nancy, by colleen 'tration of their forces upon the shortened line of ffie French — OM, list—tltTelr—vigorous—iletnon strations, cannot be over-estimated. It may, indeed, be said that the French have endured another defeat hardly less terrible and denioral-. izing than the brow struck at Wissembourg. The inevitable consequence seems to be that the French will be compelled again to retreat, and that there will not, after all, be a general engagement near Metz. If Bazaine is oat 'flanked there seems to be no alternative but to seek another position nearer Paris. Every step backwards at this time, produces demoral ization which cannot be counteracted even by the presence of a reserve force at Chalons and at Paris. We may expect to hear that the - • - news of theSe fresh triumphs by the Prussians has produced wildest excitement in the latter city. Later news will probably bring in formation of fresh demonstrations from the Parisian mob, and of further advances on the part of the Prussian army. BATTLIE ADMIRAL FARBAGIUT. The country has been prepared, by the despatches from Portsthouth, for several days past, to hear the sad news that the veteran hero of the American Navy, David Glasgow Far . ragut,„ is dead. For sixty years has the name of Farragut been connected with Ame rican history, as one •of our earliest, bravest• and best patriot-sailors. identified with the famous exploits of Porter in the world-re nowned Essex, in the war of 1812, he has served his country steadfastly throughout a long life-time, and goes down to his grave, full of years and honors . , crowned with •the highest official rank, reaWil and loved by the grateful people of a Oat 'Republic, known for his-gal huit deeds, throughout the civilized world. David Glasgow Farragut was born July sth, 18:01, at a place called Campbell's Station, near Knoxville, Tennessee. His father was a native of :Minorca, of Spanish race. Coming to Ameri ca in 1760, he engaged in the patriot - service and rose to the rank of major in the Continental Army. At the end of the war -he married a lady of Scotch descent living in North Carolina, and settled in Tennessee at the place where their son was born. The lad was commissioned a midshipman in the navy December 17th, 1810, when only in his 11th year, and in 1812 'made his first cruise in the Essex, under Capt. David Porter. Ile received a slight wound in the action with two British vessels in the harbor of Valparaisq, in 1814. Returning home on leave of absence, he was put to school by Com modore Porter, at Chester, Pennsylvania, but was sent to sea in 18113, on the flag-ship of the Mediterranean squadron. •In 1821 he was raised to the rank of Lieutenant. He served at various capacities, at sea an on an ,an in ISOO, just before the war broke out, he was in command of the Brooklyn, on the Home Squad roil, with the rank of Captain. When Virginia seceded he was in Norfolk with his family. hastily removing them to New York State, he went to Washington and offered his services to the Government. ln the early part of the war the naval opera tions were necessarily on a small scale. But in the beginning of 1862 an expedition against New Orleans was decided on, and Farragut oas chosen to tit out and command it. 11e arrived at Ship Island on his ilag-sldp, the Hartford, February 20th, 1862, and at once began the organization of the West Gulf Blockading Squadron. In April he was ready, and on the 18th he began the bombardment of the two forts on the Mississippi, on which the rebels relied for the defence of New Orleans. A grand attack was made April 24th, and after a terrible conflict, the rebels having iron-dads cu-operating with the land forces, succeeded in passing Forts Jackson and St. Philip, which afterwards surrendered. Farragut reached New Orleans April 25th and received the sur render of the city, which was afterwards occu pied by the troops under General Butler. The whole country was electrified by these glorious successes, and Farragut soon after received the thanks of Congress, together with the rank of hear-Admiral—a grade then (July 11, 1802) first recognized in the United States Navy. Subsequently the Squadron was very ac tively engaged in the Gulf and in the lower Mississippi, and in the Spring of Its 3 Farragut was ordered to cooperate with General Grant's large force in the campaign against Vicksburg. Au attempt to pass Fort Hudson in March tailed, but in June, after a terrific bombard ment, the place was captured. This victory had an important bearing on the operations ~further up the river, which resulted in the fall of Vicksburg in the following month, and the restoration of the whole Mississippi river to the possession of the Union forces. Farragut text turned his attention to Mobile, and early n January, 1E434, made a reconnoissance of he forts in the bay. By the middle of sum finer, with a land force under Generals Canby and Granger, F;saTagut was ready for the grand attack, which took place August stlh. His fleet consisted of fourteen sloops of war and gunboats and four iron-clad PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, MONDAY, AUGUST 15,1870. highest honors from.Dthperors;Bings,:quee.ns, Princes, and dignitaries - of every kifid. 11is fame as a. naval 'hero' pervaded: Europe, and. all classes vied in efforts todo him honor. In fact, his European' tonr, which lasted till the autumn of 1868, was one continued ovation. Since his return the Admiral has-not been en gaged on active duty.. He was twice married. Ills last wife, who survives him, was Miss Vir ginia Loyal', of Norfolk. A son by this mar -riagenow.-alieuterianOn—the—arnals—tho- Admiral's only surviving offspring. The death of Admiral Farragut _narrows down the heroes of the early! 'days ot the American navy to a very scanty number. Rear-Admirals Shubrick, Smith, Stringbam and Paulding, and Commodore Anlick ranked Ad miral Farragut in seniority of service, the first named by four years, and the rest by'One year. Rear-Admiral. Breese is precisely contemporary with Admiral Farragut, and several officers are still living who entered the service soon after hint in 1812: But the circle is, becoming a very narrow one, and the most distinguished among the little band is now . taken away. The surviving sailors of - 1812.' mourn the loss of their .venerable comrade, while the People at large, - to whom the name of Farragut is chiefly endeared by its glorious connection with the late war for the - Union, will receive the intelligence of lus - death with the, sincerest grief. To them, the 'name of Farragut means all that is noble, brave, patriotic, and chivalrous, and the generations to come, as they tell over the list of heroes, who have maintained the honor of the American flag, upon the seas, will name first and above all the unforgotteu name of David Glaagow Farragut. The Germans of Philadelphia and its vicinity are enjoying one of the characteristic festivities of the Fatherland,, to-day, the occasion being the dedication of the new Schfitzen Park of the Philadelphia Rifle Club, near the Falls of N o_people on the face:pf.the. earth have a better faculty for enjoying themselves with innocent hilarity, with Music, with social festivity and out-door manly exercises than the Germans. To-day they are assembled, men, women and children, by thousands, with the advantages of beautifully propitious weather and equally propitious tidings from the Father land, and German enthusiasm is likely to boil ever into every form of honest extravagance should the rumor of anotber great German victory, before Metz, be confirmed. Our Ger man population 'confers a great boon upon American institutions in teaching the masses that it is possible to be merry without vulgarity, to be free without licentiousness, to be excited without riot, quarreling and bloodshed, and to indulge without excess and drunkenness. The Germans have a good right to a holiday lust now, and a Schtitzenfest is the most ap propriate festivity they could engage in, just now when the Prussian rifles are proving themselves more than a match fOr the chasse pot and the mitrailleur: The Schtitzenfestis to be continued until Thursday, when the prizes WI be istri lute I • e success u. marksmen, and a. grand carnival of fun will end the proceedings. We do not believe that a single word of can - tion is needed by our (;erman friends to secure a pleasant and Ci table enjoyment of the entire " feast." rmmimrrmmmwmnlllTTMin It is a subject of sincere congratulation that the dispute over the Republican nomination in the Second Congressional District has been set tied by the unanimous recognition of the Hon. Chanes O'Neill, by the City Executive Com mittee, as the candidate of the Republican Marty. The question in dispute was submitted to a sub-Committee, consisting, of the members from the Second District, and was there fully discussed. The sub-committee reported unani mously in favor of the entire regularity of Mr. O'Neill's nomination, and the general commit tee having confirmed this decision, this little element of disagreement is removed front the approaching campaign, and Mr. O'Neill will he returned to Congress by his usual handsome majority, increased, of course, by the accession of the colored vote. The proclamation of martial law in the de partments of Cote d'Or, Saone-et-Loire and the Rhine has been followed by a similar pro clamation in the department of Bouches du Rhone, of which Marseilles is the capital. Southern and Southeastern France are evi dently in a most turbulent condition, and the armies confronting the Prussian advance are weakened by the necessity of maintaining military forces to keep down Republican risings among time people of these large and populous departments. The fatal failure at Wissem bourg has scattered the fire-brands of disconl tent among the inflammable materials of Lyons, Marseilles, Dijon, Crenzot and the surround ing country, and the French Government is Fined between the two terrible emergencies t)f foreign invasion and doMestic: revolt. Every day's revelations bear fresh witness to the in sane folly of Louis Napoleon hi precipitating himself into a great war, with an unprepared and unorganized army, and/with a p6pulatien ready, at the first report of French reverses, to rise in revolution against him. The Prussians are a prudent people!. They make war with astonishing promptness and precision, and then make the enemy pay the bill. They did this with Austria, and they evidently mean to do the same with France. Nancy has already been levied on for 50,000 francs, and the bills are likely to be very punctually paid, in the presence of such a pow erful creditor. Few things could more diately impress the people of the interior of France with a" realizing sense" of the fully ,of Napoleon's war with Prussia than these direct appeals to the treasuries of the towns success ively occupied by the Prtissian The war is unpopular enough in Fraoce already; but when the people know that thq have got to pay both bills_they con , elude that their best, eco -noriry iY p,tack.• King William is drawing hiti 61 dt.o.inc lion between the French Ernperr,r . tits} the French people with a hold elearn. impress the most ignorant da.isc.2 of t.h .
