Mount Nearsage, more than three ui
feet above the level of the sea, is only three
miles from our village, and many pedestrians
make the ascent. There is no carriage
road, but ari eXciilleat bridle path to the SU al. ,

that from Mount Washington, which hid itself

accessible. The views on this trip are sur

In a single letter it is impossible to describe,

OUR POTTSVILLE LETTER
ilforreepoodence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.)
Pol ILLE, Aug. 16.—While the war news
is disturbing the surface of society and nothing
else appears to be thought of by our citizens,
the politicians who work the wires and make
the puppets dance . for the edification of a "flee
and enlightened people" are busily but quietly
at work.
The Republican nominating •convention
will be held on the inst., and will go
through the motions of nominating a ticket
which is already on the slate. The election 'Of .
delegates to the convention will be held on the
27th, but for all practical purposes the delegates
are already elected. It is a common thing to
hear a conversation similar to the followin g
"Who are to be delegates from your ward?"
"Mr.— and Mr.
"Why, they are mere political backs. Why
don't you elect decent delegates ?"
"What can 1 do? Fin not in the ring."
"But you can vote against them."
4, Yes, and much good my vote would do.
No, thank you ; I never trouble the delegate
elections."
So decent men stay away front the primaries,
and permit them to he managed by a set, of po
liticians, who exert an absolute power, elect
what delegates they please, pack the conven
tion, nominate whom they choose, and the
people go to the polls and vote for the ticket,
because they think it would be useless to op
pose it.' And then they grumble all the rest of
theyear at the oflice-holders they haVo them
selves elected. The only thing that keeps up
any show of regru.d for fitness in candidates is
the fear that the'OppbSite'party may happen to
_
nominate a more popular loan.
The present aspect of county politics seems
to be this: The Democracy having nominated
their ticket, with the exception of Congress
man; the Republicans are awaiting the result of
the Workingmen's nominating convention.
Which is : to be held on the lab inst., awl
which is expected to be a complete fizzle. 'Un

EDMOND ABOUT AT THE SEAT DEWAR,
The Hero .of lilies
Edmond About writes from " the frontier,."
July 26, as follows :
"I went yesterday to visit a certain bridge
across the line's, %Lich separates France from
Rhenish Bavaria. A post striped blue and
white, on which I gave myself the pleasure of
inscribing my name. marks the bound of our
enemy's country. If I did not break through,
it Was not b6caust the innocent sentinel of
Bavaria—threateriethine harlda_fisLLthe_only.
arm he boasted. The French custom-house
ollieers are \ cry much more formidable. They
said to me, with the utmost politeness, You
are free to leave our territory, but it is expressly
forbidden us to let, any living soul enter.' Never
theless, they gave readmittance to an urchin
.who went across to get us some drink. The
noble liquor of Ganiliiidi T.is not classed atriou - Cg
the articles contraband of war, although it does
serve to beat Gui man patriotism.
," On the Bridge of the Bhes I was told- an
anecdote which, whether true or false, will
certainly go the round of all France. I hope
to give you the first 'of it:
"It is said that an infantry sollier, psted as
sentinel Wore the farthest- houses of the
French village of Styring, was warned by a
woman that the enemy . -s cavalry approached.
' The Uhlans!' she cried ; 'run away!' They
were about two hundred yards away, and-had
not crossed the rarely conventional barrier
which divides Styring from Rhenish Prussia.
The soldier does not, run away he lies
down, covers one among the twenty-live
- Mans who are approaching, and kills him.
A second, and a third, and a fourth he brings
down, without hindrance. A volley from the
enemy wounds him in theright hand: 'Twice
more he fires u ith the left, drops a fifth man.
and puts the others to flight. The legend - adds
that the hero of this little feat was decorated
on the field by his captain—here the proba
bilities begin to fail—and was taken to the
hospital at Forbad).
" To investigate the truth of the story I went
this morning to the village of Gross-I3lieders
doff, where an eye-witness was to be found.
The woman who called out to the sentinel
Bun as ay !' is a neighbor of the Ifayor of
Gross-Bliedeisclorf. As it happened, my kind
host, the doctor of Langenhagen, had a patient
to visit not far from there—a weaver attacked
with sporadic cholera. I accompanied him,
and took advantage of the opportunity to
study one of those households interiors of Ger
man Lorraine in which the best part of the day
'is spent in religious exercises, and the best part
of the earnings in heathen
,fetiAes—in which
a curate, leaden-headed and despotic, oppresses
a population sheepish, blind, shut out alike
from French ideas and German ideas, because
they can read neither the one language nor the
other. Then we returned to the village, and
pulled up at the house of the Mayor. We
found him hospitable, intelligent and well-read,
and he told us the story as he had heard it,
from his neighbor, without any other guaranty
of its truth.
"To make anything of it, an interrogation of
the woman seems in be necessary. She- is
absent. Her brother is brought to us, a young
man about eighteen years old. This good fel
low did not see the affair itself, but, according
to his story, he saw the wounded soldier with
his arm in a sling. He even saw him again at
Forbach, on his way to the hospital, and heard
him say aloud, and intelligibly, There's no
need for me La go to the hospital. I can cure
my hand very well myself!" Our yoting de
ponent does not look as though be were making
fun - of us; he. is certainly not out of his senses;
but perhaps lie believes the tale from having
heard and repeated it several times. I ask him
where are the, bodies of the Uhlans? He an
swers that they were left on the ground like the
others—for tilde have been a few others—and
that it is not allowed to go and see them, be
cause they ate in the enemy's territory. In the
end, I go away, only slightly convinced ; and,
although a man front Forbach assures me
that an infamy soldier has died there in the
hospital, of a wound in the Nrearm, I begin to
understand the eternal difficulty of gathering
the real truth about a contemporary event."
Charles Pickens nod the Powell Libel.
Inc Cosmopolitan—Loudon Editor•J
Some twenty years ago there came to New
York a certain London Bohemian by the name
of Thomas Powell. Soon afterWitrd a series
of very bitter attacks against, Mr. Dickens ap
peared in the columns of one of the New ydrk
journals. When these libels reached Mr.
Dickens he wrote a scathing reply, denoundiug
'Powell, the author of them, as a literary vaga

_pretencoof.suicide, had eseaped from-his bott , ,

This statement was sent by Mr. DickenS to hiS
friend Lewis Gaylord Clark, then editor of the
Knickerbocker 211ago.tinc, with instructions to
get it published in all the New York journals,
iind, among the rest, it was inserted in the

and proprietor. Whereupon Powell, passing
by all the other journals, commenced a suit

Some eight years afterward, as we were dining
with Thackeray at the Reform Club, we
Chanced to mention this matte?' Of 'the Dick
ens libel suit, his silence in regard to costs:
Thackeray immediately eXclahned, in his_
grand, emphatic way: "Dickens never got

as just a man as ever breathed. Write to him
at-once, and , state - the - ease." -, rWe - ditt7so; - the TY

suring us that the account :had, never been for
warded to him in Italy, and that, on bearing
the act-ion for libel had been withdrawn, he
had supposed the prosecutor had paid the costs.
But., as the prosecutor was bankrupt, the de
fendant had -to pay. In a bound 'volume of
the New York /fretting Mirror, to be seen, we
believe, at the British Museum, the biographers
of Charles Dickens may find the exceedingly
sharp article which led to the Dickens libel
suit of Powell vs. Fuller.
Speed of Thought
When it comes to the relation-of Mental ac
tion and. time,-we can. say. :,withr : :Leibuitz,
Calctilemus,"lfor bore we can reach quanti
tative reallt:S. personal : : equation" or
difference in rapidity of recording the same oc
currence, has been recognized in astronomical.
'reCoids'sirice the time of INltiSimlyrie, the royal
astronomer,andis allowed forwith the greatest
nicety, as may be seen, for instance, in Dr.
Gould's recent report on trans-Atlaritic longi
tude. More recently the time required in men
tal processes and in the transmission of sensa
tion and the motor impulse along nerves have
been carefully studied by nelmliolti, Fizeau,
INlarey, Ponders and others. From' forty to
eighty, a hundred, or more feet a second are
estimates of different observers; so. that, as the
.newspapers have been rollq•Oilg, it Wl:Mid:take
a whale a second, more or less, to feel tffe
stroke of the harpoon in his tail. Compare
this with the velocity of galvanic signals, which
1)1.. Gould has found to he from fourteen to
eiqtteen thousand miles a second through iron
wire on poles, and about sixty-seven hundred
mites a second through the Submarine cable.
The brain,according to Fizeatii- takes - nue-tenth
of a second to transmit au order to the Muscles,
and the muscles take one-hundredth of a second
in ~e tting into motion. ;
These results, such as they are, have been
turive - d at by experiments on sitTgle — linliViduak
with a very delicate chronometric apparatus. I
have myself institrited a good many experi
ments with a more extensive and expensive
machinery than" think has ever been.eniployecl,
namely, two classes each of ten intelligent
students ; who with joined- hands-represented
a nervous circle of alltmt — sixty;Siti — TeetTatiTthat
a band . pressure:trausniitted ten ~tirnes round
the circle traversed six
,huridred and sixtyfeet,
beside involving one hundred perceptions and
volitions. My chronometer was a "horse
timer," marking quarter seconds. After some
practice my second-class gradually reduced the
time of transmission ten times round, which
had stood atfourteen and fifteen seconds, like
that of -the first-class, down to. ten seconds
that is, one-tenth of a second for the passa , ze
through the nerves and brain of each indi
vidual, less than the least time I have ever seen
assigned for the whole operation ; TioftMre
than Fizeau has assigned to the action of the
brain alone.
The mental process of judgment 'between
colors (red, white and green counters), be
tween rough and smooth (common paper and
sand-paper), between smells (camphor, cloves
and _assaftclida), tooki about three,and a. half
tenths of a seconds each ; taste twice or three
times as long, on account of the time required
to reach the true sentient portion of the tongue.
These few resiilts of my numerous experi
ments show the rate of working of the different
parts of the machinery of consciousness.
Nothing could be easier than to calculate the
whole number of perceptions and ideas a man
could have in the course of a life-time. But
as w e think the same thing over many millions
of times, and as many persons keep up their
social relations by the aid of a vocabulary of
only a few hundred, or, in the case of souse
very fashionable people, a few score only, of
words, a very limited amount of thinking ma
terial may correspond to a fulkense of organs
of sense and a good development of the mus
cular system. The time relation of the sense
of 'vision was illustrated by Newton by the
familiar experiment of whirling -a -burning
brand, which appears as a circle of fire.
The duration of associated impressions on
the memory differs vastly, as we all know, in
ditierent individuals. But in uttering distinctly
a series of unconnected numbers of letters be
fore a succession of careful listeners, I have
been surprised to find how generally they break
down in trying to repeat them between seven
and ten• figures or letters, though here and
there an individual may be depended on for a
large number. Pepys mentions a person who
could repeat sixty unconnected words forward
or backward, and perform other wonderful
feats of memory, but this was a praligy. I
suspect we have in this and similar trills a very
simple and mental dynamometer which may
yet find its place in education.

Aug. 15,
fortress of Berry capitulated yesterday, after a
shorttiombardment; to the Second , , Bavarlatr
Army Corps: A gre4t ,iimit;ity of provisions
and six gruis *ere captured: • .
The following despatch is from King William
to the Queen :
IlEtinv. August 15, 7.30 P. M.—l have
just returned from the battlefield near Metz:
The advance of- the Seventh- Corps attacked
the enemy, who were instantly reinforced from
the fortress. The 13th and part of the 11th
divisions sustained the advance. The conflict
- was-desperate, -involving -the entire line. - The
enemy was repulsed at all points, and was pur
sued to the glacis of the detached works near
the fortress, which enabled the enemy to give
shelter to their wounded. Our wounded were
instantly -cared. for, auttliY, daylireakilie:troops_
returned to their first bivouacs. All fought
with incredible and admirable energy. I have
eone among them and congratulated them
with all niy soul, and have spoken to Generals
:Steinmetz ' Zastrow. Manteuftel and Goeben."
The following official despatch,dated August
13. 4 I'. M.. is just made public :
Our advance finding themselves before
Metz, and believing the enemy, who were en
camped under the walls, about to retreat, Gen.
Galt z s brigade was ordered to attack the rear
guard of Marshal Bazaine's corps, and a vio
lent combat ensued. The gd Brigade then
advanced under Ostensbcken, and immediately
the divisions of Celts. liatneche and Wrangel
participated, driving the enemy at all points.
Meanwhile the French Gecaeral L'Admirault
endeavored to flank the Ist Corps, but was at
tacked by the reserves, which advanced with
drums beating, under General ManteutTel. The
enemy was splendidly repulsed and driven into
the fortress. and many were captured. Our
troops advanced to Belle Croix and Birney,
within range of the forts. This morning the
King made a reconnoissance on the field of
battle, visiting the advance posts to insure the
transportation of the wounded, French and
Prussians alike, to a point above Kouke, on
the right of the Moselle. Front this point the
enemy was visible in clouds of dust, and we
infer, therefore,-that the—Maiti—body- has de
parted."
BERLIN, Aug. 14.--The following additional
particulars of the second battle near Metz were
received last night:
Late on ••the afternoon of 'Monday the Ist
and 7th Prussian Army Corps vigorously at
tacked the French under the walls of Metz. A
sanguinary conflict ensued, and the French
- were at length driven within the city with a
loss.of :four thou Sand .On-the same day
a grand reconnoissance under„Kiug William in
person maintained itself some hours' within
two lines of the French defences without any
effort on the part of the French to
,ciilodg,e,
them.' This fact shows the utter demoraliza
tied of the French arMy.
PAnts, Aug. I(3.—The following is an order
of the day issued by Marshal MacMahon :
•
" Soldiers :' In the battle of August ti fortune
betrayed your courage, but you yielded your
position only after an -heroic resistance, which
lasted not less than nine hours. You were
:35,000 against 140,000, and were overwhelmed
by force of numbers. Under these conditions
defeat is glorious, and history will say that in
the battle of Proschweiler the French showed
the greatest valor. You have suffered heavy
losses, but those of the enemy are much
greater. Although you have not been success' ,
ful; rmu see cause in your misfortune which
makes the Emperor Satisfied . With you and' the
entire country recognize'that you have worthily
sustained the honor of. the flag. , Let - show
that though subject to the severest tests, the
First Corps, forgetting this, closes up its ranliS,
and, God aiding us, let us seize a great,
.and
brilliant revenge."
PeesSe'"giVeS for
plitinition-, of the:, moVementS Of idle
Prussians : , After. the ',battle ! of Eorbach, on

and 'established their qvarteis at St. Avoid.
After the battle of Wissealbottrg, the arm of

Nancy. While this, army, baving,no opposition
in its front, advanced on its route. to Paris as
far as Bar le 'Due, the army of Prince Charles,
making a bold curve, endeavored to turn the
French troops at Metz, and thus cut the com

LroNs, Aug. 18.—The Courier, of this 'city,
has a long statement to-day of the poprilai• de
monstration which recently oceurred;
Yesterday, about 11 A. M., a popular commo
tion, wising from bad 4 news from the army,
took place in the square Croix Rousse,.which
ended in a deplorable conflict between.the 'po
lice and people. ,
The - particulars of the affair have been-much
exaggerated. The originator °of the trouble
was au old uotary,named-Lentilion,welfkiao-Wit
for his political eccentricities. ' He..olainbered•
upon the, pedestal of the cross in the centre of
the square' to make a. speech to a. group_of..la- -
borers. His hearers were few at the start, but
in a short time a large crowd assembled, and
cries of " Vire la Republique" •were heard on
all sides.
Though called upon to stop by the police,
Lend Hon persisted in his seditious declama
mation, and called upon the audience to de
fend him. The latter attempted to defend
him by the aid of stones. The. authorities
seized the orator, notwithstanding the violence
offered ; but one of them, having allowed one
of the rioters to draw his sword from its scab
bard, was stabbed by, one of those infuriated
people in the abdomen, and died iu a few
moments.
- -Five or six policemen- were wounded.- Len-
Wien and other principal rioters were arrested
and taken to prison between two files of sol
diers. The mass of the people of 'the Place
Croix Rousse-took no part in-these violent pro
ceedings, but it was all caused by a few turbu
lent characters. These demonstrations are
generally denounced.
I'Xnis, August 10, Evening-.—ollicialu, con
firmation'of the• news of the greatvictory over
the Prusbians is impatiently awaited. Great
crowds of people•have collected'at the, Bourse,
at -the Ministry of- the Interior, and in <the
streets.
Important news has been received from
Strasbourg: The Prnssians in that vicinity
seem inclined to retire. Some shots have been
exchanged. The people of Strasbourg are
determined to diifend:the place to the last.
The proceedings in the Corps Levislalif to / -
day were exciting and important.
Deputy Keller said that for three days now
the troops had been fighting, and no news had
bebb received 5.4 4 tO'Whiit, -- had been accomplished.'
.1n - such a state` :w
the - Chamber
not think of any other matter. The meeting
of the Corps must be permanent to await com
munications from the Ministry of the Interior.
The Minister of War said he was not pre
pare,l. to speak of the defbat the Prussians
were said to have sustained, but of a serious
check, forcing them to retire and forego their
attempt to disturb the retreat of the French
army. He had no official despatches touching
the event of yesterday, but he had received
news from• reliable sources, and might state
that.theJ'russians had' been- checked several
times, and were retiring toward Commercy.
Ile- was..full of confidence, but could not at
present enter upon details. In a few days a
much greater force would be under command
of Bazairie,. the - Only afid :true. commander-hi-.
_The .311 - iiiFutithp.ii - rotited,and_Deputy7J—:
Ferry took the floor. In bis remarkS he re
ferred to the Einperor's proclamation tó . the
people of Meta as having created an unpleasant
ffect upon the public. The speaker was here
interrupted by expressions of disapproval, and
the tumult became too great for him- to be
heard, and he took-his seat.'
The Chamber then voted several loans for
the prosecution of the war, and. Deputy For
e ade announced to the Corps that a certain re
-ligious society had placed at / the disposal of the
governinent their houses of Worship for hos
.
pital purposes.
PA LP-, Aug. 16.—The Journal 011160 to
day contains a decree declaring the cities of
Cherbourg ; Brest; Lorient, and Iloebefort in-a
sate of siege.
l'Ara. Aug. 10.—The sub-prefect . of Ver
inn telegraphs as follows to the Minister of the
interior :
.
N'EnDuy, Aug: Id, d M.:,-No news
from Metz. Nothing is known to have oc
curred to-day. All day yesterday the roar of
cannon was heard between Metz and Verdun.
" Persons, who have reached here from that
direction say that a great battle was fought,
opening at daybreak, and that the Prussians
had lost 40,000 men in the combat, and had
been completely defeated during yesterday
morning. At the extremity of my arrondisse
ment, 2,'S kilometres from the fortifications of
Verdun, the enemy had been seen directing his
retreat to the south."
Though this intelligence was transmitted by
authority, the government has no: yet been
able to verify it. It is given to the public under
reserve by the Minister of the Interior. •
Lois; noN, Aug. 10.—A document ascribed to
Count Von Bismarck isin circulation in Prussia
declining territorial aggrandizement as a result
of the war:
There is a grow l ing and bitter feeling of hos
tility to the Emperor Napoleon in Parts. This
feeling is now evinced towards the Empress
from the recent Ministerial appointments.
Despatches from the Prussian government to
the Prussian ambassador here are full of tri
umph, and express the:greatest - confidence as
to an early result of the.war.
Loynox, Aug. 10.—[Special to New Vurk
herald.]—According to the most reliable ad
rices received here, the evacuation of Metz was
staved by the advance guard of the CrOwn
Prince.
Reports from . Verdun state that a great hat
-
Ile was going on, but the silence of the French
authorities contirmS rumors received here of a
Prussian victory.
There is great consternation in Paris over
the declaration of a state of siege in Algeria.
LWcDON, August 10.—[Special to the Nem
:York .T/(1(/.1)—The 'fallewing:. letter--from
General Bother, commanding .the Zouaves of.
MacMahon's division, tells the story of the de
moliticin of those tine seldierS :
SiyERNE, Aug. 8,--Let us thank God, who
bas preserved us from• the'most terrible of
dangers it is a soldier's fate to encounter. It is
a miracle that I am still alh;e,without a scratch,
and in perfect health : but my heart is broken.
I am overwhelmed with grief at the fate of my
poor officers and my poor soldiers.. I dare not
tell you how many I have lost. It would
grieve you too much. ' Later I shall know the
names of those you knew and loved, but will
never see again. The gallant fellows fought
like lions and heroes. Out of 115 • officers. 47
were killed, wounded and missing.
A 1.7 A. M. they were full of life and ardor,-
and now all are killed. At 2 P. M. my unfor
tunate Lieut.-Colonel Desporties was wounded
by my side. A bullet entered hiS abdomen,
which was discharged but a few yards distant.
Ile was able to press my hand as he was Car
ried off the field, but hp has probably died be
fore this in a Prussian ambulance. Two chtfs
de battalion were shot dead, and a third is
.either dead or a prisoner. Saint Sauveux was
ivoutided badly, and but very little hope is en
tertained of hiS : reeevery. I 'had him taken
frOin 4he-field. in an' ambulance. - The, indict
went through his chest. He behaved splen
didly. PierrOn 'was shot stone dead. I have
Girt five captains here out of thirty ; the rest are
in heaven. All my adjutants. and -most of
my, sergeant-majors ' shared the same
fate. .The pioneers—better or more gallant
men 'never breathedbut hire left. Two who
were left with the baggage were either sabred
or taken prisoner's. ''My horses were also cap
tured. My poor black charger was killed under
atneati, to:whom. L lent him, his horse
havitigl)een killed early in the :action: Out of
all that I bad, all that remains is .the clothes I
wear, and I'sf. in My potket. My baggage,
with that of the Marshal, has been taken. ,_.l

PHILADELPHIA EVENING RULLETIN:WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17,1870.
,Wardly when I- think of ail those I have lost.
AlVe fought like lions-35,000 against 100,000.
The enemy surrounded - us on all sides. Gen.
Caloon was Robert de vogue, killed..
,Alfred de'Grammit, the:Duke's brother,lost au
ann. The other corps suffered al 'most as Much
as our own.
MacMahon behaved • splentlidly,,and. did all
that any man could 'do but he bail. not ,men
enough. He was unable to cope with 100,000,
-with-three --times more-artillery-than he-had.
Nevertheless be inflicted • a heavy loss on the
Cifertyc, - rin - dAliiit;Atitibtlesi was' thelnason - we'
were not more vigorously pursued. Had such
been the case the disaster would have been
fearful. It is bad enough as it is. The battle
began at 130 A. M. After night there was a
pouring rain; in whieb.we: hitdto' stand without
tents or fire, and lie down in the mud. During
the previous day we had marchedseventy kilo-
Metres, from the battle-field to Saverne. The
last thirty-six kilometres were got over during
the night pell-mell, and without stopping or
sleeping. War is a fearful scourge. We are
doomed to forced inaction. We have but 500,
to 600 Zouaves, without knapsacks, tents,
clothes, or food, but we have arms, and do not
complain. We are without officers and non
commissioned officers, and cannot be sent into
action. It is probable we will be sent to
Strasbourg to reform. Our, regimental chests,
from all accounts, have been captured. _
LONDON, August 16.—[Special to the New
York Tritnme.]—Our correspondent, writing
froth Paris on Monday night of Sunday's bat
tle, says it was -only a semblance of success or
-
a mitigation of disaster. The Germans having
cut off all railway communication with Metz,
Bazaine commenced to retreat across the Mo
selle, and proposed to follow the ordinary high
road towards Verdun..
When half the army was across the river, he.
was surprised and attacked by p, larae force of.
the enemy,who, after fouthoure fig i liting,were
repulsed with great loss. rrom appearances
the Prussians , once more outgeneralled the
French,' and got around in great force to the
side of the river by which Bazaine meant to re
tire, and checked his retreat.
All parties seem to concur-that every con
sideration must give way to the necessities of
the hour.
The Federal Council have voted to reim
burse to each native of Germany expelled from
France the cost of his passage : home. •• 7
The Ministry ivorks incessantly. - The. Min:—
isfer of \Vai Las done wonders within a few
days, and has sent enormousreinforcemeuts to
the front, and others are following rapidly.-
Munitions of war of all kinds and provision§
are despatched as fast as the trains can carry
them. •
The larger mass proceeded with great ra
piditj• Al corps of freeshooters have been or--
gart'o , .ed all over the country, and those of the
Vosges are' beginning to torment the enemy.
Preparations for the - defence of Paris are pro
gresSing rapidly. A correspondent writes the
details and describes the appearance of the
field after the battle, and states the French loss
at 10,000 killed and wounded, and '7,000 pris
oners. The Gefman loss was 7,000.
