INTERLACIIEN, Monday Evening, Julg,Z4l.
1870.—As there are no other Americans here,
that we know of,- to join us, we •concluded to
go off by ourselves and commemorate the
Fourth by a trip to the top of the Wengern Alp,
which is one of the most interesting excur
sions in Switzerland. After breakfast we en
gaged a carriage for the day to take us over to
the valley of Lauterbrunnen, the point from
which the ascent is made, and bring us back
in the evening. On arriving there we started
on foot to go up the mountain. The day was
very fine. I had a vivid recollection of my
former ascent of the Wengern Alp thirteen
years ago. Then it began to raii when we
were about half-way up, and we reached the
top wet through. We had no rain . to=day, but
come very near having something much more
serious. A three hours' climb, and not very
bard, brought us to. the 'summit. This is the
finest Poin(fronii - which to get .a view of
.the
Jungfrau, the Silver Horn, the tiger, the
Iffonck, and all the other members of the great
Jungfrau family: You are lrifrodliced; as it
'were; into the eery bosom of the family. The
whole group is before yoti,with au awful valley
indeed intervening; which- -keeps -visitors at a
respectful distance, after all; and presents au
effective barrier to any attempt - at undue
familiarity; or disposition to pry into the fauilly
secrets. And here you can stand or sit by the
bOur and look in wonder on what rises before
you. , There are stupendous rocky peaks, with
deep.valleys between them.
.There are enor
mous glaciers far up among the clouds, and
vast ice-fields, and exhaustless treasures of
everlasting snow; snow in ridges, in mountain
masses, in perpendicular precipices, and awful,
. overhanging, ridges„ The .hoin.e of
_the ava
lanches is there. All these stand unveiled be
fore you. And I envy not the feelings of any
who can gaze on that scene of matchless
grandeur and sublimity, and not find his soul
filled with wondering awe and adoring praise.
We looked out eagerly to see and hear the
avalanches as they made their tremendous
plunge. But they did not come. We invested
a franc in gunpowder ' to have the cannon fired,
which is kept there for this purpose. It is used
torgiCe'notiee across the Way when the audience
is ready and waiting for the performance to
begin. But the notice is not always heeded,
, as was the case to-day. The report of the
cannon's discharge went echoing grandly
among the surrounding mountains. This was
the only effect produced by it. Sometimes the
jar of the report upon the atmosphere is enough
to start the avalanches and send them down.
But it had no such effect to-day. However,
just before we left to go down, we did hear two
avalanches and see one. The sight is like a
cloud of white dust rushing down the steep,
snow sides of the mountain. When the ver e
of the snow-field is reached, and it plunges in- I
to the valley below, it Woks just like a silvery
torrent leaping from the edge of the precipice.
You think it must be one till you see it sud
denly stop. The noise of the falling avalanche,
like the sound of distant thunder, is made by
the masses of falling ice as they go tearing and
grinding down the sides of the mountain into
the awful abysses which receive them. Instead
of taking a lunch merely, we ordered a regular
dinner at the Jungfrau Hotel in honor of the
day. Shortly after dinner we climbed to the
summit of a grassy bill, behind the hotel, and
about 300 feet above it. It was the highest ac
cessible point near us. My pocket barometer
indicated an elevation of 1,200 feet. llere
we concluded to hold our celebra
tion of the national anniversary. There
was a flag-staff planted on the top of the bill.
I had a silk flag in my pocket. This was fast
ened to the pole. We sat down on the grass to
enjoy the sight of the dear old flag as it waved
its graceful folds over the summit of the Alps.
Then we sang " Rally Round the Flag, Boys !"
The musical talent of the company was not
adequate to the feat of going all through with
" The Star Spangled Banner," so we had to
satisfy ourselves with the chorus, which was
given with a will. Then the " large and respec
table meeting," consisting of C. P. C. and, the ,
present writer, gave three rousing cheers for
the old flag, three for General Grant and three
for the Union. The exercises of the occasion
were concluded by the choir singing "Yankee
Doodle," which was joined in by the whole as
sembly. After this the flag was taken down,
and the audience retired without any noise or
disturbance. - • •
And now comes the most exciting part of
the day's experience. After returning to the ho
tel, we started to go back to Lauterbrunnen.
But, instead of returning by the beaten path
down the side of the mountain, we concluded
to go down into the deep valley, or chasm,
that lies at the foot of the Juugfrau, and so
make our way out into the Valley of Lanier
brunnen. The landlord at the hotel assured
us that the way was perfectly safe, only we
should need a, guide
. to show us the path. So
we engaged a guide and started. or the first
two hours the road was easy enough. By
this time we bad got far down into the valley.
Iris one of the wildest and ruggedest scenes I
had ever looked upon. You seem to be shut up
in one of nature's inmost recesses—the very
secret place of her awful presence. 1 had
supposed that we should have nothing to do
but make our way down to the level of the
stream at the bottom of the valley, and then
follow its windings till we reached its outlet
in the .Lauterbrunnen Valley, from which we
started in the morning. But it is iMPOsaible'
to get doWn more than about. half the way to
the stream at the foot* of the mountains..
Then there is only a rift or chasm in the rocky
bottom of the valley, hundreds of feet deep
through which the stream forces its foaming
wav There is no gradual descent, as we had
suPpOsed, into the Valley of Lauterbriumen.
Inatead of this our path brought us to the edge
of the mountain, which forms one of The walls
of that - - goes down in a sheer de
scent of a thousand feet. We had to make our
Way, by a zigzag, winding path, down the per
faceof this rocky precipice. It took
us an hour to accomplish this. It -was the
tu , st exciting, awe-inspiring hour of conscious
peril I ever ; spent. If I should live to be as old .
Methuselah'l shoUld never forget it. The path
was only six or eight itches. wide, and, that riot
level, but slanting. off towards the precipice. A
single mis-atep, or the rolling of the loose pel)
bles on which we stood, and,there must have
folloWed an awful plunge, the mere thought of
which sends a cold chill, over me now as I.:,thlbli
of it. At times the path would wholly disap-
pear, and there was nothing -left but here and
there a projecting piece of rock two or three
-inches wide, on-which to plant our feet while
we clung to some rough points in the wall of .
roc aboveus. It wm.perfectly appalling. I
should as soon have thought of attempting to
fly as to have ventured there, if I had known
what was before me. I could only cast myself
on the support of an Unseen but Althighty Arm,
and hope to find the promise fulfilled which
says, "He shall give His angels charge over
thee; and in their hands they shall bear thee
up, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone." I
kept my eye looking steadily at my feet,feeling
that one look into the awful depth , immediately
beneath would have unmannedme., I felt the
frill force of Solomon'g words, When he says:
Ponder the path of thy feet, and iet thine
eyes'loOk•etraightforward." And:. so, 'without
exchanging a word,• in profound silence, at
times even holding our breath, we worked our
way - sloWly down; and at length a Gradious
Province enabled, us. to reach the ha
tpin .46f. the cliff •in -perfect safety
If ever: - there were two grateful Men
on.earth,,they, were found at the, foot of that,
precipitenamountain side, this afternoon. And
yetthe guides of this country go • over that
perilous path continually, just as the wild goats
of the mountains do; arid think - nothing of it:
But to those like ourselves, inexperienced in
such efforts, it is thrillingly fearful. I shall
draw from the excursion, however, a
,striking
illustration of the danger that follows from for
salciug7the beaten path. And I intend to prac
tiC6 on this IesSOU through all the rest or our
journey before attempting to preach it to
others. A memorable - Fourth of Jtily this has
been tows, both for the pleasure add peril con
nected with it.
L A USA NN E, IlnTra. GIBBON, Tuesday
Evenin r):.- , -We - left •Interlaken this
morning by the steamer on Lake Thun (pro
nounced Toon), on our way to this place.
The lake is only ten miles long, bilk very beau
tiful. At the other end of the lake we took
the cars for Berne: Instead of going directly
through, we stopped over for the next train.
This gave us two or three hours in Berne.
This was quite long enough for getting a view
of that quaint - old town, with its curious clock,
oil which the bears marchin procession every
time the hours are struck; its cathedral, and
especially the grand panoramic view of the
Bernete -Alps to--be had from the terrace, in
front of the town, Taking the next train we
reached this town, finely situated on the banks
of Lake Geneva, by the close of the afternoon.
The windoWs of our morn look directly out
upon the lake, commanding an extensive view
of its flue scenery. This hotel stands-on the.
ground - formerly, occupied by.
_the houSein
which Gibbon wrote his history of " The De
cline and Fall of the Roman Empire. • A man
intent on the accomplishment of a great work
like - TlVit — CailirradrY have a more inviting and
inspiring retreat than that aflorded by the
shores of this beautiful lake. Here we pur
pose to remain and rest ourselves till towards
the end of the week, and then go down the
lake to Geneva and wait for the arrival of .11Ir.
B. We have kept on the move so constantly
of late as not even to have had time to get any
washing done ; and last Sunday morning, on
dressing to go to church, I found I had not a
clean shirt bosom left. I actually bad to over
haul the bundle that was ready for the wash,
and select from it the least soiled of the
bosoms there, for Sunday -use. And then I felt
the practical benefit of a tolerably long beard.
It acted the part of charity, in hiding a multi
tude, not of sins, but of soils.
We met Rev. Mr. Nevins here at our hotel.
He has charge of the American Chapel at
Rome. During the hot weather the chapel is
closed, and he is off on his vacation.
CnEXMIES (prononnced Shabe), l Vednesday
Evening, July 6.—Just as I was sitting down
this morning to do some writing, at the Hotel
Gibbon, Lausarne, Mr. C— came in upon
us, and insisted on our coming out to this place,
where he is spending some weeks with his
wife and child. It is a sort of family hotel, or
large boarding-house, entirely in the country,
and about ten miles from Lausanne, on the
borders of the lake. And so, as we thought it
would be quite as agreeable to rest for two or
three days in the God-made country as in the
man-made town, we concluded to come. And
this accounts for our sudden and unexpected
" change of base." But did mortal man ever
conceive a more awkward and bungling way
of putting letters together to. spell a word that
was intended to be called Shabe, than is seen
in the case of the unfortunate word that is made
to stand as the representative of this place?
Wouldn't it inule the best spelling class in a
first-rate academy, iu any other Christian land,
to have the word "Shabe" given out for the
scholars to exercise their talents upon; and
when they had tried till they were tired, and
had given it up, to hear their teacher say, "I
am ashamed of you, boys, or girls. Don't any
of you know that the 2 iroper way to spell
Sh abe !"
But houghit has the misfortune to he so
badly and barbarously spelled, still it is a bonny
nice place. The house is charmingly situated
on an elevated and richly-cultivated part of the
Lake of Geneva, whose placid waters are
spread out beautifully before it. The Alps on
one side and the Jura range on the other
stretch out their giant forms In magnificent
array; while beautiful walks and delightful
views of mountain and lake are met with at
every turn.
For the last two or three days\ the weather
has become very bet. The'thermometer stood
to-day at ninety degrees in the shade. All
this part of the country is sufleriug very much
from drought. The•pastures are failing. The
wells are drying up, and many of the farmers
are killing their cattle for want of food and
water,. I. trust -a gracious Providence may
send carp soon,'or the suffering will be fearful.
Evening, July ith.—
CnExturzs, Thursday
We - have spent this day in rambles through the
woods and over the hills that surround this
part of the lake; trying to keep 'cool in the
shade, and admiring the beautiful scenery that

They would be so at all times; they are espe

LETTER FROM REV. DANIEL MARC M
TIT I,ZON IVE3i July 4, 1870.—F wroWtcr. you
last froM Christiana,the present capital of Nor
way. 1 now writefrom. the. ancient capital,
three hundred and fifty miles further north. I
came here by railway, ste'amboat and carriole.
I held the reins of my little pony, driving .at a
rapid rate, one hundred and eighty miles
through the wildest and most wonderfal,..scen
cry of this cold north land. The carriole has
two wheels, with a seat just large enough to
hold one person at a close fit, a narrow foot
boin:d, a leather apron to keep offmud and
rain, two long, thin, flat phills, which supply
the place of traces, breeching and springs.
Fresh horses are supplied every seven or eight
miles, and the road is good. Yon see every
thing as you go as freely as-if—on horseback,
and the horse and vehicle are so completely
under control as to seem a part of yourself.
The route which I took led me over the Dovre
feldt, where silence and desolation reign su
preme, over a waste of rocks and moors white
with ,reindeer moss, over lofty ridges white
with perpetual snow. Then I came, down into
-the Deirdahli-ra wild and picturesque .
through which a' river roars and rages with the
fury . of a cataract for many miles, and cas
cades, like the Stanbach, in Switzerland, leap
from the cliffs a thousand feet above the road,
and drifted snows fill the chasms and gorges on
the mountain slopes. I - alSo passed for hours
through quiet valleys, where the fields were
green with fresh grass and ripening grain, and
the log houses of the farniers were
sprinkled along the river banks and
up the hilfsides. . The people have blue
eyes; light hair, and a fresh, rosy complexion.
They take oil' their hats and salute me as I
meet them on the road. They are attentive
and quick to understand what is wanted when
I arrive at a station. A few words from the
guide-book are sufficient to Ter 'horses,
food_ or entertainment... Everything .here looks
safe, free and confiding—not, as in Spain and
Syria, suspicious, distrustful and dangerous.
Almost every family has friends in America,
and more are going to make a new home in
the Western World every year. I was told
that ten thoitand people would leave the
Gudlandedol valley 'this year, and twenty-five
thousand would leave Norway for America
before next winter. I passed 'through the
whole length of that valley. It is beautiful to
look upon, brit the people Say the'wffiterS are
so long and cold they get weary.of theinhomes.
It was sufficient to kindle a new light upon the
rosy faces of young and old when I told them
I was from America. Advertisenients of the
lines of steamers from Liverpool to America
are posted up all over the country, and multi
tudes are only waiting to get money enough to
go. And I do not wonder they are attracted
.by the tales of fine climate and great abun
dance which emigrants send home froth lowa,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. Here they can
raise little but grass, oats, rye, and a few half
grown potatoes.. It is now almost midsummer,
and I slept rimier feathers last night and was
cold.
The day is so long that one gets weary of
waiting for the night; and, Indeed, the morning
begins before the night ends. Last evening I
was reading till half-past ten and it was still
broad daylight. At twelve o'clock I reached
out of bed, took my small pocket Bible,
and read the ninety-first Psalm through
by such light as still lingered from the long
day. And my room has but one window, and
my bed stands in the corner furthest from the
window. I rose and looked out into the street;
it was all silent and empty, and yet I could see
the roses and geraniums and japonicas in the
window on the opposite side of the street,. I
could count the tiles on the houses. I could
read the names on the signs as if it were
broad day. It seemed as if time had stopped in
its course and all the motions of nature had
come to a stand. I watched the sun till nine
o'clock last evening to see it go down, but it
still lingered in the northwestern sky, and I
felt relieved when at last it was hidden behind
a cloud. But even then the light would not go,
and I was obliged at last to take to my bed
because I was weary and my watch said it was
bedtime, not because it was dark. The un
lighted candles upon my bureau are only me
mentoes of a necessity which no longer exists.
All nature seems to be held by some awful
spell, and the cold light lingers as if to see what
would be the end. Ido not wonder that the
old Norsemen mingled wild and fantastic super
stitions with the history of their country.
When I came over the melancholy Dovrefeldt
in the dim light of a cloudy, misty afternoon
that lasted till eleven o'clock in the evening and
was still day, I was so impressed with the
strange aspects of nature around me that I
should not have been much surprised to have
seen the shadowy forms of the old Norse fables
imaged in the clouds that hung their droop
ing curtains around me.
This old town, situated within three degrees
of the Arctic Circle, has a population of sixteen
thousand or more. An express article in the
Constitution requires that the kings be crowned
in the Cathedral of Throndjem. The streets
are broad and regular, the houses clean and
bright, the people well clothed, busy and con
tented. Yesterday there was such a Sabbath
day stillness as I have not observed since I was
a boy in New England. My room fronts upon
the principal street, and yet no vehicle passed
all day.„; there was no sound or sign of mirth or
amusement. The people went to church
quietly and reverently. There was no loud
talking nor hurry. I went to the old Cathedral,
and attended the regular service, and staid to
witness a baptisin and a WeAding. Both Cere.
monies were very long, but the people gave the
most quiet and respectful attention. The
green grass in the churchyard was ornamented
with fresh flowers. Every grassy mound had
a vase upon it, and in every vase was a bou
quet of fresh flowers. All through the city the
windows are garnished with flower-pots. In
the house opposite my window I count twenty
five. In other houses I have counted forty or
fifty. At Lillehemur, the head of Lake -Mogen,
there was, a street a mile and a half long, and
flower-pots stood in every window all the way,
and the plants,were of the rarest beauty. :T:he
bx:ide,at the „wedding, wore a wreath of green
leaves npen lien head; and - her whole person
was wrapped closely in a bright Paisley shawl.
The groom and groomsmen wore swords and
epaulets. The happy cobple kneeled before
the railing of the chatted in an archway of
gremleaves, and the olliclatina minister laid
his hands upon the heads of both and btessed,
them.
I propose to make a little excursion up the
coast from here, and then pass into Sweden.

OVII POTTSVILLE LETTER
[Cerreependenco of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletina
PorrsviLLE, Aug. 1.9, 1870.—The pleasant
weather of the last two weeks is rapidly de
moralizing our people. Accustomed, as they
have now become, to autumn weather and
autumn wear, they exulted, this morning,
with the thermometer at 06 degrees, but were
loud iu their outcry against the hot weather
when it reached 84 degrees. Three weeks
ago, they would have called that cool, and re
joiced that it was not 94 degrees.
Pie.nles and Lager.
Such weather is admifable for pic-nics, and
is largely taken advantage 0f..1 saw a mile of
.
people returninu from one given by a German
Catholic Church, the other day. Many of
them were in good condition to answer the
question-L-"Doe18 lager-beer in
toxicate I"' —but I was informed that all the
lager on the ground was insufficient to excite_a
single quarrel. Perhaps, however, his rever
ence, Father 13auniefster, Was more potent
thanahe lager.
_I have seen a Roman Catholic
priest disperse a crowd of drunken Irish with a
horsewhip, before now; and if lie can do that
with the Irish, what can he not do with the
Dutch.
The Writer Supply,
The recent rains have also quelled the fears
of a failure in the supply of water which
agitated the minds of certain of those in au
thority, not long since. They grew very much
frightened, all at once, put the street-sprinklers
on short allowance, and cut - off the supply in
the street mains to such a degree that if a fire
had broken out somebody must have been sent
to the reservoir, half a mile up hill, to lulu on
the water, before the engines could have gone
into service. An this too in a town which
floated triumphantly through the drought
which dried up the Schuylkill and parched
Philadelphia last summer' L was curious to
know the grounds of this action on the part of
the water company, and took advantage of an
invitation to a pie-nic in that vicinity to step
over and see. 1 found the contents of the re
servoir about a foot below* high water mark,
and a copious stream running oft through the
waste-pipe. After that I dra-all the water I
wanted.
Political.
The Workingmen's Convention to nominate
a ticket for the coming political campaign was
held at St. Clair on Tuesday, but does. not ap
pear to have amounted to much. The Journal
says no. Congressional nomination was. made,
while the nominees for the Legislature are
Captain Charles Sorber, of ISlahanoy City, for
Senate,-and Albert Huutzinger, of Lost Creek,
and Francis l‘leCtien,,for Assembly. The pro
ceedings, for some reason or other, are not
made public. If they are withheld for the
benefit of the .Monitor, it is devoutly to be
wished that the Monitor would change its day
of publication, or else that the W. B. A. would
hold its caucuses later in the week, so that we
need not wait so long for news.
The Collieries.
As to the miners, they are, for the present,
quiescent. The collieries are everywhere at.
work with an energy which indicates a deter
mination to make up for lost time, but trouble
is expected about the first of September, at
which time the Reading Railroad intends rais
ing its tolls fifty cents.
Meanwhile, we have an accident or two al
most daily; ut the news is so slow in reaching
this place that when it does reach here it is
scarcely worth chronicling. The latest is from
Wadesville, where a miner named Thomas Mc-
Manus was knocked down and partially scalped,
last Tuesday afternoon, by a fall of coal in the
mines of Christian Frantz. Miners are often
hurt when they would escape by exercising
proper care. One was killed at Wiconisco,
last week, by a fall of coal from which his com
panion, a wary Scotchman, escaped with a few
slight bruises. He knew enough to keep out
of danger, though working beside the man
who was killed.
New Bank
Ground was broken yesterday for the
" Mountain City Sate Deposit and Insurance
Company's" bank—an institution chartered
last winter. Wico.

PARIS, Aug. IS, 4 P. M.—[Special to New
fork Times.]—The nomination of Gen.Trochu
to be military Governor of Paris and the recall
of the Garde Mobile to the capital Inspire great
confidence among the people as proofs that the
army of Paris is able to repel any attack of the
enemy, and render it certain that Paris will be
well defended.
Fighting is still going on, but Bazaine will
only send a report when the result is certain.
There is no confirmation of the rumor that
Prince Frederick Charles has been wounded.
The Ga u lois says: "We may now affirm that
we have a great general at the head of our
armies. The greatest proof is his calmness in
the hour of victory. He awaits sure results be
fore he telegraphs his successes.''
While at Metz the Emperor issued the fol
lowing order, which was printed and dis
tributed among the officers :
" The Prussians commence action by put
ting forward a small force, hut placing heavy
'batteries behind it in good position. They
then form a line of sharpshooters, who, under
cover of woods,, keep up a constant fire, and
gradually gain the think of their enemy. When
the sharpshooters are well engaged the Prus
sians put forward strong bodies of troops, who
try to approach as near the hostile lines as pos
sible unseen."
Having given these details, the Emperor con
cludes by directing officers to imitate the tactics
of the enemy.
The—Eigueomakes the following report of
the movements and doings of the Emperor :
On Tuesday, the Inth,the Emperor, who had
not yet heard of the battle of that day, re
ceived the Mayor and Sub-Prefect of Verdun,
and spoke encouragingly to them. lie was
then accompanied by the. Princejniperial, but
was almost Withont an escort. Ile then went
to the railway station and demanded a train.
The officers of the road could furnish only a
third-class car, and the Emperor assured them
he would be satisfied with that. The Prince Im
perial seemed to be greatly fatigued. A locomo
tive preceded the train to see that the road was
clear. Next'morning at daylight the Emperor
reached Chalons.
PAms, Aug. 19.—The Jourintt (Vic/el—this ,
'morning publishes the following as having been
approved by the Empress :
3fwiatne: The ports of Cherbourg,, Brest,
L'Orient, Rochefort and Toulon having been
declared in a state of siege, if the letter of pro
visions of the decree of October 13, .1863 were
to be strictly followed, the pewers'entrusled to
the military authorities by virtue of a state of
siege should devolve on generals commanding
: the territorial divisions within the limits in
which arefound these live • ports. As these
powers are not entrusted to any , maritinie au
thority by the terms of the'2l-,Xli article, xCept
incase of unforeseen attack, the present cir
cumstances and. general interest in the de
fence of the country- qemand the abolition of
said article. Therefore, after . having a consul.,
lotion with the Minister of Marine,. I have the
begot...to: propose: to, your Majesty .to!: decree
_that_ity iiine_prActs_ be ftstveSted -With the - c'_
tradidinady title .of superior, CoMmandera of all
troops stationed within :those tiVe ' military
ports. , VALI li AO.
There IS intense excitement and'enthristasm,
because of the news of repeated French victor; -
ies. The streets are full of processions, and
cl owds of people are roaring the " Marseillaise."
Notwithstanding the great exeitemetit there is
310 disorder. •
The Empress takes part in the movement in
favor of the wounded. She has ordered: her
apartments at Compiegne to be prepared for
that purpose, , and hasdecided - upon trying, the
system inaugurated in America during the re
cent civil war of eating for the wounded in
tents; where plenty of fresh air can be - obtained:
it is said on good authority that the Minister
of Finance will open a national loan on Mon
day. A council of Ministers was held to-day.
The following was issued to-day:
GENERAL IlEnixtuAnTEns, August 18, 5 P.
M.—ln the encounter of August-16th-inst. the
corps of General L'Admirault formed the ex
treme right of the army. A battalion .of the
Seventy-third Regiment „of the line destroyed a
Prussian • riment of lancersi and took its co
lors. re have been many brilliant cavalry
charge in one of which General Le Grand was
kille t the • head of his division. General
Montaign is missing. The Prussian Generals
Doering . and Vedel were killed,. and Generals
Gironter and Vori Rauch were wounded.
The Figaro to-day has the following details
of the battle of Longueville t.
The battle occurred at Borny, four kilome
tres (about 21 miles) from Metz, and not at
Longueville, as has been stated. The battle
occurred on Sunday. Half our army, which
was about 200,000 strong, were passing the Mo
selle at that place on one bridge. The Prus
sians made a mistake and attacked about an
hour too soon. The corps of General L'Admi
rault and De Caen were able to face the enemy
in about half an hour from the time the" first
attack was made.
The Prussians had evidently a. plan of the
fortifications of 31eU, but which apparently
did not contain any indication of Fort St. Que
ntin, for in trying to avoid Fort St. Julien they
marched directly towards Fort St. QUentin,
which, when they came within easy range,
opened a very destructive fire upon them. In
their cdnfusion the Prussians retreated, and
came within range of the guns of Fort St. Ju
lien, which also opened fire, increasing the loss
of the: enemy. -The Prussians then- attacked
another point of our position, which was :de
fended by only one regiment of infantry and a
masked battery of mitrailleuses.
The latter "immediately . uncovered and made
great havoc in the ranks. of the Prussians.
Firing ceased at half-past 7 in the evening, hav
ing lasted from 4 o'clock.
The ground between Metz and Verdun has
been a scene of constant carnage since Sun
day.
Volunteering in all parts of the Empire is
constant and enthusiastic.
The entire regiment of white cuirassiers, un
der,command of Count VOL' 13ismurck,.was.to
tally destroyed near Schlettstadt.
LoNpoN, August 19.—The following is the
letter of the Pope to King William proposing
mediation:
Yore: MAJESTY : In the present grave cir
cumstances it may appear an unusual thing to
receive - a - letter from:me, but as the vicar on
earth of the God of Peace I cannot do less than
offer my mediation.. It is my desire to witness
the cessation of warlike preparations and to
stop the evils of their inevitable consequences.
My meditation is that of a. sovereign whose,
small domain, excites no jealousy, and who in
spires confidence by the moral - and religious in
fluence he personifies. May God lend an ear
to my wishes, and listen also to those I form
for your Majesty, to whom I would be united
in the bonds of charity.
Given at -- thelratican, July 22, - 1870 --- --
A postscript adds. " I have written identical
ly to the Emperor." •
The -King's reply- is -as-follows
..116,./ Ai/gest Poittiff:'" I am not surprised,
but profoundly moved, at the touching words
traced by' your hand. They cause the voice..of
GOd and of peace to be heard. How could my
heart refuse to listen to so powerful an appeal_'
fi-od witnesses - that - ribithet I nor my peoPie
!desired or. .provoked.war. Obeying the sacred
duties Which God imposes on - sovereigns and
nations, we take up the sword to defend the
ilideliendence and honor of our country, ready
to lay it down the moment those treasures are
secure. If Your-Holiness could oiler the from
him who so unexpectedly declared war assur
ances of a sincerely pacific disposition and
guarantees against a similar attempt on the
pi ace and tranquillity of Europe, it certainly
will not be I who will refuse to receive them
from your venerable hands, united as I am with
you iu bonds of Christian charity and sincere
friendship. Wrrr
The Times publishes a special telegram from
Berlin this morning, which contains the follow
ing intelligence :
The French army has been separated by the
victory of the Prussians at Mars-la-Tour.
The main body has been forced back on Metz
and brought to a stand by the First and Second
German Armies, under Prince Frederick
Charles and General Steinmetz. The road is
now open to Chalons for the Crown Prince,
who has only General Trochu and some frag
ments of Marshal MacMahon's corps to en
counter on the wa)l4. The decisive event
Impends.
The Grown Prince is marching to attack
Frossard, and Bazaine will be compelled to cut
his way throUgh the German army, or the
army of the Rhine will be forced to capitulate.
The un-Ilungurimi Month!g gives fur
ther revelations of the French policy towards
Prussia and the North German Confede
ration, namely, certain propositions made
at Salzburg in 1867 by Napoleon
to Count Von Beust, the Austrian Prime Min
ister.. The Emperor offered to sustain Austria
in demanding the literal fulfilment of the
treaty of Prague, and insisting that any alli
ance of Prussia with the South German States
should be considered a violation of the com
pact.
The Prussians were to be required to evacu
ate Mayence, and Hesse north of the river
Alain was to go with that south of it. A Zoll
‘ erein of the ::outhi - German States was to be
established, and war was to be declared if Prus
sia hesitated to yield to Austria's demands.
Prussia was to be compelled to do justice to
Denmark in the matter of the Schleswig-
Dolstein provinces, and the sout,ll6l.ll.Btates
were to be coerced if necessary. The ar
rangement was that English ships in the
Baltic were to be obliged to show their flags
and papers at the summons of the French
cruisers.
BE I: 1,1 N, August 19.—The Staatanzeiger of
this city has the following details of General
Steinmetz's movements ; The General suc
ceeded in engaging the enemy while the latter
was retreating from Metz in a southerly direc
tion, and obliged hint to pause near Arricark;
where, approaching on the left bank of the ,
river, Prince Frederick Charles overtook the
Freneh left on the kith. The Prince had '"the'
iiit Corps, just arrived front Verdun. x
Tliis corps, although it had been engaged at
Saarbrucken and Forbach; instantly attacked
the enemy in company with General Stulp
nagle's sth Division, and Maintained its ground
against a superior force for six hours,- until the
Hanover Corps, with the `22d and 25th Divi
sions, arrived on the scene. These six divi
sions, under Prince Frederick Charles, re
pulsed the Bd, 4th, 2d and oth Divisions of the
French and the Imperial Guards. The PruSsians
took 2,000 prisoners, two eagleg; seven guns,
and constrained the enemy to a rapid move
ment from the banks' of the Meuse to the forti
fied city,of Metz. <
