CORRESPONDENCE. --- LETTER FROM PARIS. 10orreepondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin .1 Pmft, Friday, August 12th, 1870.—The events which have taken, not only ,Pari4.but all Europe by surprise, will have long since reached you in all their astounding suddenness and unexpectedness,' and will doubtless have . occasioned the same astonishment in 'America as they have every:where else. Here; it seems little less than impossible to realize all that has occurred within the space of hardly More than a week. Never was there such a comftlete re version of all antecedent expectations. It seems only yesterday that the Emperor took his departure, leaving the capital in a state of such profound tranquillity that a few police men seemed to be all that was necessary to maintain,. order. He told us, indeed, at parting that the war would be "long and difficult." But the universal interpretation put on his words was that the "road to Berlin" was long and ' heavy, and not to be traversed without much cost and sacrifice. That the "road to Paris" was much shorter, and might prove the easier of the two for the enemy, was a thought which, I verily believe, it never entered into a' 'French brain to conceive. Some hard fighting - on the frontier, and a march,-which, though it might be slow,would be sure,and always in the right direction, were the only news which it was thought possible could reach us for some weeks to come. Even if reverses should arrive, it was taken for granted that they could only happen on Frussian ..soil; and that--although there might be occasionally an ebb and flow, 'a flux and reflux sonletimes in the tide of war, it was always to be at a 41istance, and that the faint echoes only of the conflict should now and then give animation to the slumbering and de "serted capital. Such were our prospects, as I said, little more than a week back. ' Scenes In Paris. And, what are they now, and what are the scenes which I now see passing around me ?. There is no need to go to the frontier" to knoW that:France is. at war, and to learn, too, that 'that' war Is near at hand:' • The - sight -an-d -sound of it meet you at the corner of every street. The military movement of ono kind or another going on iu Paris at this moment is tremendous, and seems to supersede every other. Nothing but " soldiering" of one sort or other invisible, and the same, or nearly the same, must be the case all over France. Past events may briefly be summed up as follows : First, there was the general expectation, or rather assumption, that France was to assume The offensive, as a matter of - coinse. -- Tifirwag supported "and answered by the advance of the Emperor, the "capture of Saarbruck," as it was too grandiloquently termed, and ilieaii- nouncenfent that the Prince Imperial had - recelyedfor - the - first - time, Baptism of Piro. - I read the despatch which announced these tidings on-the walls of a French watering-place and everyone seemed to take them as a matter Of course, and expect that things would go on in the same way to the end. There was, to be sure, a little ',scoffing on the part of opposi_ tionists at.the coup_ de- theatre of. the Prince riding at the side of his father, and occasion ally dismounting to pick up spent balls, ly as.if they were pebbles by the sea sho e. But still the war was carried into the enemy's country, and there, it was taken for granted, it was to remain. The Reaction Imagine the state of affairs and feelings, and then imagine, if you can, the terrible rebound. The weak and somewhat objectless advance on Saarbruck seemed to be all that the Prussians were waiting for to carry out long-preconceived and deeply-matured plans. The events which followed convey the impression of a long,weak and far too greatly extended and disconnected line being suddenly attacked, and, as it were, " doubled up," at certain points by swift and concentrated action. This is the very acme of strategy and good generalship, and the Prus sians have shown that they have leaders who possess these qualifications. With the quickness of thought, and with an elan for which one did not give German troops credit, a succession of blows were struck, evidently by combined and concerted movements, from Wissembourg and Woerth to Forbach, always apparently with superior forces, and in a moment the French right was so nearly being " turned " that the whole of the loose straggling line as far as Saarbruck itself, and the extreme left, was compelled to retreat with a loss, and, above all, with a confusion and demoralization and loss of confidence in its commanders, from which it is only just now beginning to re cover. Incapacity of the Civil Government. The way in which this great disaster was met by the authorities in Paris proved that the civil government of the country was in just as weak and incapable bands as the command of the army. All the public utterances of the Empress and the Ministry will be long since known to you. The judgment universally ;passed upon them here is that they are a tissue Of weak and inflated absurdities, the only`effeet of which was to heighten and aggravate the alarm of the public, by showing that noth ing better was to be expected from such Min isters in Paris than from such generals as com manded on the frontier. The only right thing the Ministry did was to convoke the Chamber, and thereby, as was instantly foreseen, to sign its own death warrant. It fell at once, as you will have read, under a storm of reprobation. The name of 011ivier will probably be henceforth only known in France as that of a weak tool and instrument of the Emperor, who took advantage of the innate vanity of the man to lure him from his party and set him up in the eyes of the nation as the make-believe of a "responsible" and "constitutional" Minister, He has fallen with his master,—for that the latter has fallen already from the command of his own armies the telegraph will ere this have told y6u. The question is whether he is yet to , fall further; . and that question can only he answered from the frOntier. There ischitt one opinion on thi• point that the EmPei:er cannot come back to Paris icithout success; and even after success his position will be sufficiently . diilicult. The indignation both of Paris and , the country is; I think, thoroughly roused. The Aceusatten Against the Emperor is this: You have rashly precipitated a war for which it now appears that you were neither as well prepared as You led us to be lieve, and in the conduct of which yourselland the generals appointed by you have displayed the grossest 'incapacity. The consequence is that yoke have disgraced our arms and brought the enemy upon the soil of France. ' That is` the accusation, and though it will be allowed to slumber* the fitment while the enemy is at the gateS, it, will be brought up again here after,- let what May happen.....You_ ma,y. lead the feeling in every act and gesture around you. The only cry you now hear in the streets, froth national guards, from volunteers march ing to enroll thenaselves, from - the people who salute them as they pass, is that of Vire la France I The ntehie of . the Emperor is never mentioned. From what 1 see of the present aspect of things, I do not apprehend disorder in Paris, unless in case of very great reverses. Do not attach too much credit to what- you hear took place two or three days ago. There was no " fighting in the streets," 'nor any "charging of the pec3ple" by cavalry. An immense crowd, full of irre pressible curiosity, assembled round, and would have almost invaded the Chambers on the first day of meeting, had it not been simply pushed back by the troops and the precincts cleared. That is all as yet. If there be more reverses, Napoleon will fall as the late Ministry fell —of itself. The preSent Imperialist Cabinet is simply endured; that is all. But the whole nation is arming, and will not, I think, be . readily disarmed again, let the fate of war bewhat it may. The decisive moment seems to be pending as I write. But it is in vain to speculate on events which may be fulfilled long ere these lines reach you. "Brriumo AND NIAGARA FALLS. Morrenonaence of tho Phila.Bvening Bulletin.] Philadelphia . EiThihil DEAR Sin : It is said that Trenton Falls should be seen before Niagara to be fully ap preciated. However the visitor may distin guish them in character, he may yet feel well satisfied in taking this course of travel, and, with the most agreeable memories of the. Trenton Falls, start upon an eleven-hour trip to the neighborhood of the great cataract. The route of the ,New York Central Railroad is through- a rolling, attractive, country, cultivated, and with a rapidly augmenting population. This is, to a great extent, native and intelligent,as the mixed classes upon trains are generally destined to States and cities further west. After passing Syracuse and re signing the charming lake district for a future season, the through traveler makes his next prolonged stop at Rochester. Here the Genesee river is crossed just above the Falls, which are about as fully to be appre -1 ciated from the train as a handsome back scene in a spectacle by the occupants of the i _box_es Pere trains diverge _for Niagara_as Buffalo, occasioning great disturbance to par ties which were so comfortable and .merry but a few moments before, and giving to those in the right bOx. a Very mitertainircg 'antr OMANI -- scene. By the reader's permission, the train to Buffalo is selected, and that city attained. It is situated upon flat country, and on approach has a very industrial aspect. This is intended to suggest not only smoke coal-dust,givinglabo rers,turbid drains,cinder-heaps,chimneys andva rions adaptations of brick, iron and steel, but large manufacturing establishments, all the buildings necessary to the great railroad lines converging .at Bnfiblo, , and adrift of frame dwellings inhabited by the employ es. The centralpart of the city is well built up, and sustains active business interests. These r,are greater in connection with railroad than ake transportation, as the latter seems for a few years to have shared the abatement of the American marine at large. The northern part of Buffalo is developing - in wide avenues and attractive residences,while on the western side, which is bounded by the hurrying Niagara river, land is being widely appropriated for a city park, at present in toilsome embryo. To the southwest, Lake Erie extends limitless be fore the eye. The river which drains it starts at a speed of six miles an hour, and although navigable for steamboats, is made use of but a short drstance.by smaller ci'aft. , Baal() has very feW bbjects 131 - 'especial interest. A fort at the end of the lake appears, it is to be hoped, more imposing to Canadians on the opposite shore than to a native visitor. It furnishes, at any rate, mili tary society to the city and a daily concert from the regimental band to such as may drive down in the afternoon as auditors. The con cert over, Delaware avenue is sought, and there, while the occupants of numerous and diverse handsome residences sit sociably upon their stoops and piazzas, carriages pass pleasurably up anti down until evening. Many family vehicles do not seem to obstruct the most reckless driving of lighter teams, but, ! despite this annoyance, the scene is very ani mated and entertaining. The citizens of Buffalo regard Niagara Falls ! with all the fondness of a local institution, as they are reached in an hour by rail, and are the destination of most of their picnics and ex cursions. A Philadelphian, indeed, under-the frivolous influences'of the station, finds it diffi cult to believe he is not starting for a holiday in Germantown instead of for a realization or perversion, all the majestic conceptions which the name of Niagara Las inspired. I A jostling out at the station ; before a row of open omnibusses ; a brisk 'ride to the Cataract louse or International ; an hour or so in a neat room or at a good table, with the splash of rapids near by and the deeper unvaried ac companiment beyond to fret a restrained de light and curiosity ; a walk through a small village of trinket shops, through a arove which is left to screen the pieroed side of • nature, aud then we find one of her greatest revelations of majesty. As with the picture of some unknown hero or heroine which we have carried at our I hearts and cast away when permitted to grasp their band and meet the inspiration of their eyes, so now we would remove all imperfect fancies and build our conceptions upon re ality. A wide river pouring bodily over a tortuous cliff nearly two hundred feet down to the seeth ing flood below. A river spread out like an assaulting army, sliding over ledges until Its waves.are like the plumes and banners of a host, and, its front but once brokemplunging , rrandly, defiantly, with a deep war song, into dm misty clouds which conceal its dissolution. This is what we gaze upon; do not realize at first; ponder upon, wonder at, dream upon and re member until life's close. So might this flood have poured to fill the parched bed of nucleated seas it' the Eternal had worked by the power of elements instead of by the still, small voice. So might it pour now if its task were to cut a trench in the living rock as a barrier of in fernal fires. Flowers nod upon its awful brink. Birds flit playfully in the mists which rise be fore its wall of waters. Rainbows glow When -there'-is-no , tempest but in thesurging depths, and greet, tbe : , eye atilooir:frein the , gulf heloW. Nattire's terrors are veiled in her loVeliness, and while the excited mind is almost lost in the wider range of thought and sentiment which the scene occasions, it cannot -but-have a keener perception of those sweet unities • of her most distant effects, those deli cate chords which art apprehends so lovingly, and, almost In the attainment of; dies. The Falls of Niagara gain in the appreciation of most visitors by their frequent observation Distances are not. at first realized, and the tin Bering impressions of others are generally val ucless preparation for a visit. A stranger should PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24;1870. commence calmly, and let different' points of view develop his enthusiaStn'zild Hahn al -processes. • • - Of these points of vieW, such as tire upon the American side at or near Goat Ishind gkie interesting and impressive detail, but all general .views are reserved for a trip over the new Sus pension Bridge to the Canadian bank, where, from the Clifton House, opposite the American' Fall, all theiway up to the margifiof the Horse- Shoe Falls, au uninterrupted survey is en joyed. - The size of Goat Island is - generallT a- sur prise, as it is a mile in circumference, and cov ered with so primitive a forest that were it not for the roar of waters on either side, the visitor might imagine himself far in the recesses of the hills. Paths lead through the wood, and a carriage road about it to the neighborhood of . theq3iddle Stairs, the Prospect Tower and the Three Sisters. These latter are small islands at the upper end of Goat Island; and bate been but recently connected by bridges with it. They permit a fairer view of the furious rapids above than can be elsewhere obtained. Two or three mills on Goat Island and the Ameri can shore, near it, are an annoyance to the eye, and not less to the patience is the half-dollar fee demanded at almost every point of natural as well as artificial interest. • This is most severe for the brief visitor, as, in many cases, one payment gives future free ad mission which he does not stay to avail himself of. The Canadians are not a whit behind our countrymen, and the Museum which they hold in reserve had better be visited at once to have future plots for the capture of the tourist aver ted. Competition stimulates an • umindurable persistence and persuasion on the part of cab drivers, shop-keepers and photographers and concession to these only depends upon physical weakness, female persuasiveness: or personal vanity: The hotels at Niagara are all gited,:atid have done a fair business this season, although pa tronage..was at first . rather reference to bridal couples might be considered personal, as all yotkr readers who have not been to Ni agara on such a trip probably intend going at the first opportunity, and will wish to feel that, should the Falls of Niagara be merely inci dental to the depth of expression with which their companion can say: "How lovely;" or "Blow grand," there will be. no observant cor respondent to remark upon it. A. G. 11. [Correspondence of the Philadelphin•Evonitg Bulletin POTTSVILLE, August 23, 1870.—We Ameri cans are great workers. If we have a fault in that direction, it is that we work too hard. We are too fond of "rushing things." We are in such haste to turn to account the blessings we receive that we too often forget to stop and give thanks for them. The memorial and thanksgiving feasts of the Jews, the holy days of the Roman Church, the "harvest-homes'' and merry-makings of our Saxon ancestors, we-crowd_into_one_day_of_generaLthanksgi_ving and half of us do not even observe that. it is gratifying, therefore, to find an occasional one who is not so thoroughly imbued With the spirit of work that Leis unable — tni-pereeive the fitness, if not the essentiality of occasional re laxation, nor begrudges a day,when_the har- Vest is ended and the_ suMnier:.Work - is no longer urgent, o which to make merry with his friends and acknowledge his gratitude for the blessings of the year by sharing those bless ings with Others, and increasing his own happi ness by adding to theirs. And what is a mo re fitting token, a better representative offering for an Ainerican harvest-home than the grain indigenous' to American soil; the plant which awakened Joelßailow's rustic muse, and. inspired many au unkiiown Indian bard with Songs like the rustling music of its own green leaves; whose individual beauties were finally bound by Longfellow in one bright sheaf, to be praised wherever Hiawatha goes— the Indian iliontkonia, the European maize, the American coin! We know the story of its birth, as told by the imaginative Indian story-tellers and-repeated in poetic beauty by Longfellow. We' know the veneration in WhiCh it Was held by thena and the ceremonies connected with its growth and harvest, and it does no discredit to the superior intelligence of the white man to drop his wisdom for a little while and recall, in some degree, the traditions and observances which savor so strongly of the woods and fields, and which carry us back in imagination to the time of our fathers and the bright side of the life of their red prede cessors. The thought was suggested by a visit to the faun of Messrs. Dobson & Bright, on the occa sion of the celebration of the Feast of Monda min, an annual ceremony there, but better known by its English name of a "Corn Party." Unfortunately, it was celebrated on the hottest day we have had for three weeks, and the ride of twelve miles in an open•wa.r b on was very dis agreeable. But the route lay through some of the most romantic scenery of which this coun try can boast, and the dust and heat were alike speedily dispelled, on arriving at the farm, by ablution in the cold waters of a mountain brook. OIJR. korrsvmLN LETTER. A Corn Party The first exclamation of each new arrival, after washing the dust out of his eyes, was, " What a crowd of people!" Truly, the hospi tality of our hosts seemed to be boundless, and if all their friends were not there they must be blessed with more than most people eau claim. No ordinary house could hold them all, but the barn was large, and on the. capacious " barn floor"—a spot whose memory is thronged with pleasant associations to all whose childhood was passed on a farth—was spread a feast to which Ceres add Pomona both contributed un til the tables groaned under their united offer ings. Corn was, of course, the principal dish, and everybody ate and praised it ; those who could•not.fimhroom.. at one of' the long tables took an ear of corn and retired to the most convenient spot to gnaw it at their leisure, for the order was " eat corn"—an order which few found it hard to obey. The rustic meal concluded, the tables were cleared away and the fiddler took his station ; for the young folks would dance alit the elders must lead off; which they did in a way that was successful in increasing the general gayety, if it could not be set down as authority on modern steps and figures. Those who did not dance found amusement iu playing croquet on the lawn, or watching the dancers from the haylofts in the barn, or pistol practice in a neighboring grove, a sport in which the ladies took an active nart,and, to the discredit of the sterner sex be it said, came out, a little ahead. The call to an open-air supper interrupted the sports, but did not end them ; for it was not until the low hanging sun warned the guests of the long drive before most of them, that they consented to leave a spot at which they had spent the day so pleasantly. Then came the ride home through the twilight dear to loVers-,-and then,-' tired eyelids - closing: over tired eyes." West Falls A favorite spot for pie -nits is West Falls, a romantic .gorge '.on the west branch of .the, Schuylkilliabont eight. miles from' Pottsville." II ere in times of flood, the stream goes roar ing down the ravine, tumbling over high rocks and precipices, and making " a scene of great beauty and grandeur. But when the stream is low the water trickles in threads and stream lets between the rocks, and falls in silvery spray over their sihooth faces, and lies hi quiet Crystal pools at their feet; and the pic-nic par ties who visit it them spread their feasts on tables of stone, washed clean and smooth by waters not long since :subsided, and go skip ping from rock to rock along the bed of the brook for half a mile, from the smooth watergibove-to that, below, without wetting a • fotot, except,;,perhapsby an incautious step on a treacherous surface or a tilting stone. Here are great beds of velvety moss and . huge rocks hidden by waving forests of fern grow ing on their surfaces, in a way that makes one wish lie could transfer rock and all to his gar den ; and curious trees and bright berries, and, In the autumn,leaves of the most gorgeous pos sible tints, and, as an offset to these, gloomy caverns under overhanging • cliffs, all in minia ture; and dark thickets of tangled hemlock, and,: shutting in all, high mountain— sides which daring feet alone will undertake to climb: If you wish to see a romantic spot visit the West .Vest Falls. There is no local news to-day. BUSINESS CARDS. JOSEPH WALTON & CO., CABINET MAKERS, ' . NO. 413 WALNUT STREET. Manufacturers of fine lurnituro and of medium priced furniture of superior 4,otality.

LoNnoN, August 23.—1 t is reported that the Crown Prince of Prussia has withdrawn from his advance on Paris, and gone to the suppOrt of the Prussian armies west of Metz, the posi tion of the latter being threatened with a for midable attack from Bazaine, who is said to Lave been reinforced by MacMahon. .I.3Eut.f\, August 23.—The German forces in France have undergone a partial reorganiza tion, and, as reinforced and redistributed, will uo into, battle in the following Order : First :Army, Under General Steinmetz, composed: of the Ist, ith, z•th and 11th Prussian Army Corps, amounting, in all, to' 100,000 -infantry and cavalry.

Deputy Keratry then proposed, that nine members of the Chambers . be chosen to form part of the Committee of Defence. Members of the party of the Left im mediately gave signs of approval, but the ma jority hesitated. Keratry claimed that the state of affairs urgently demanded it. Some of the members of the majority „rose as approving, and several more members of the Left, which was accepted as establishing the urgency of the case. After the tumult had subsided, Count de Palikao said the Committee of De fence was numerous enough as at present COQ stituted. In the name of the whole Cabinet he repelled the proposal which had just been made.

Lo'NDON . ; August - 23:[SPeCial to , the. New York. Trib uric.] —The -following- detailed-ac count of the great battle at Gravelotte, on Au gust ltth, was received this morning in Lon don from our special correspondent, who witnessed the battle at headquarters, and stood by the side of Bismarck and the King. The first realization we had at Pont-a-Mons son where I found myself on August 17th, of the ex,i,t.nt to which the fighting had been going on on Tuesday and Sunday last at the front, was the coming in of the wounded men. At 'first it was surmised that these had been wounded in s 1: - wishes, but on the 16th, later with gliastly-woubls walked about - the market place hi font-a-MOusson- surrounded by eager groups of their newly arrived comrades, and TOld - The Rory of fife disastir: — Pooor feThows; it surely was disaster to them, borne away as they _bad been frOnn_Ahe - liehlovithou.t._having heard of any result.. I stood among these groups and the narrative of the . men all amounted to their having been sent to con front a much larger :force ~than their own, and that their division had been cut, up: I was struck by the fact that, al' hough there Nr:Li some dissatig i sv.- td by their toile of voice, Llix red. by the naiTators,or lister any one. They dwelt rather they had dealt heavy hi and that thonch the divisiot de organi zation been dem/ 4d its life dear. un August 17 the wounded from the pre ceding day began to pour into Pont-a-Mousson. They were brobght in long uncovered grain carts. lyirlg upon hay. From my window, hich overlooked the main street, arid com manded also a view of the market-place, I cormted more, than-90.0t these long carts, each hailing on an average about 10 men. h was strange to see them as they passed amid tiles of French unable to conceal their joy on the one hand, and Prussian soldiers on the other. But now came the other side of the account. The streets began to swarm with other wagons with other wounded, the wearers of red trousers, and now and then came a batch of unwounded prisoners. At length arrived a carriage with a.. French ;general. ft was fol lowed by a vast crowd.. of French, and for a little time it seemed as if there might be a col lision bet Ween the inhabitants and the Prus sians, so earnest were the demonstrations of the people, btit it was now at least evident that the struggle was serious at the front. At midnight,; „ a little after the 17th and lath, all the trumpets for miles around began to sound. - This was the first time we had been startled by such wild music. Trumpet an swered to trumpet through all the bivouacs around the little city. For several days pre vioUsly there had been troops almost per petually marching through, but.now the tramp through every street and by-way made between midnight and :davaLa Hastily dressing, I ran out into the darkness, and managed to get a seat on a wagon that was going in the direction of the front' which was now understood to be a mile or two be yond the Village of Gorge, some twelve miles from Pont•a-Monsson. On our way we met a large number:of French prisoners, who were looked upon with much curiosity by the con tinuous line of German soldiers with whom we advanced, buronly One or two offensive cries toward the„prisoners were heard. The way was so blocked with wagons that I finally concluded I could do the six or seven inkleS on foot better, stri. got 'out of my car- , riage and began to walk and t ' run swiftly ahead. At Mouvient, on the 'Moselle, about half way M Metz, I found vast bodies of cavalry, - hlans and hussars crossing the :river by a pontoon bridge and hurrying at the top of their speed toward Gorge: flurrying my own steps, I soon heard• the first thunder of the cannonade, seemingly coming front the breast of a range of hills on the right. Passing through the village and ascending the high plain beyond, I found myself suddenly on a battle-field, strewn, literally, as far as my eye could .reach, with dead bodies. In one or two I arts of the field companies were still burying the dead, chiefly the Prussians, The French, being necessarily the last, were still lying hi vast numbers ott the grOund. A few of these 1 saw were not dead. As I hurried on a splendid regiment of cav alry came on behind, and when they reached the brow of the hill they all broke out with a wild hurrah, and dashed forward. A few more steps and I gaMed the summit, and saw the scene which had evoked their cry, and seemed to thrill even their horses. It would be diffi cult to imagine a grander battle-field. From the hill to which Iliad been directed by good authority' to conic; ' the entire sweep of the Prussian and French centres could be seen,and .a considerable part, of 'their .wings. The spot where 1 stood was fearful. It was amid ghastly corpseS, and burthened with the stench of dead-horses,, of which there were great mun-- -- I was A -standin g -on the battle-field of August 10, the Prussian side thereof. On the left; switched like a silver thread the road to Ver dun and . Paris,: for the. possession of which three seri6littliattleS had begun. It ran be tween lima of poplars Whiebstood against the Ammon. On my left„ and as far as the eye could reach towards Met, with military regu larity, streWn on this road like beads, were . the - pretty villages, each with its church._tower, - which; although they have separate names, are only. a few hundred yards a art:- On my right were.the thickly-wooded, behind which lies the most important village of, the vicinity, the one I had just left, Gorge. So enviroued was the foreground of the battle, which should. one day be called the battle of Gra.velotte, for it is mainly over and beyond that devoted town that it raged. • The area I have indicated is perhaps' four miles square. Owing to hiving' come on foot; rather than aleng the blocked road, I arrived just as the battle , waxed warm, that is, about noon of August 18th. At that time the head quarters of the king of Prussia were at the spot 1 have , described. . The, great, representative men and soldiers of Prussia were standing on the ground watching the conflict just begun. Among them I recognized the King, Bismarck, Von Moltke, Prince Frederick Charles, Prince Carl, Prince Adelbert and Adjutant Kraitski. Lieutenant-General Sheridan of the United States Army, was also present. At this mo ment the French were making a most despe rate effort to bold on to the last bit of the Ver dun road, that between Rezonville and Grave.; lotte, or that part of Gravelotte which on some maps is called St. Mariol. Desperate, but un availing, for every one man in the French corps had two Co cope with, and their line was already, beginning to waver; soon it was, plain that that wing (the French right) was with drawing to a new, position. This was swiftly taken up under cover of a continuous fire from thelr.artillery from, the heights beyond the vil lage. The movement was ina.de in good order,and the position reached at 1.30. I believe nine military men out of ten would have pronounced it impregnable. When once this movement had been effected, the French retiring from the, presence.of the Prussian artillery•fits -and: -. the Pru.s.sians as rapidly advitncing, thebattle-field was no longer about Ileonville, but bad been transferred and pushedlforwafd toa veTotte, 'the junction of the: tWO branching roads to • Verdun. The fields in front of that village were corn': pletely covered by the Prussian reserves, and over it interminable lines of soldiers were per petually marching onward, disappearing, into the village and emerging on the other side of it with flaming volleys. The second battle field was less extensive than the first, and brOught the opposineorces into fearfully close The peculiarity of it is that it consists of two beiglithS intersected bf.a deep ravine; which - is one hundred feet deep, and at the top'Three hundred yards wide. The side of,this chasm near to Gravelotte, where the Prussians stood, is much lower than the other side which gradu ally ascends to a great height. From that com manding eminence the French held their. enemies fairly beneath them, and poured upon them a scorching fire. The French guns were in position far up by the Metz road, bidden and covered among the trees. There was not an instant's cessation of the roar, and barely distinguishable amid vv as the • mitrailleuse The Prussian artillery was posted to the.north' a.nd..south_of_the.vi'laze, the_guns_of-the-latter-- side being — necessarily raised - for an awkward half vertical &re. The French stood _ their ground-acid hundreds-4Thad7alrruist -- said , by tbousani .is—and lids for an hour : or two that seemed , aes, so_ constant was the slaw titer. The hill where I stood commanded chiefly the conflict behind the village and to the right of it The Prussian reinforcements coming up on their right, filed out of the Bois . des OgrionS, was. at that .IxAnt,..a,s_ tliey marched to the lipid, that we could, perhaps, get the best idea of the magnitude of the invading army now in the heart of Trance. There was - no break whatever fur four hours in the march of men out of that wood. It seemed almost as if all the killed and wounded ierived and came back, and marched forth again. Ilirnam Wood ad vancing to Dunsinane was not a more omi nous sight to "Macbeth" than these men of General Goeben's army, shielded as they_were by the Woods until they were fairly within range and reach of their enemies. So the Freneb - mtiSt for; bet Ween font and live o'clock, they concentrated upon that spot their heaviest force, massing availabli ! guns and shelling the woods which covered the Prussians unremittingly. Their shot' reached the Prussian lines and tore through them, and, though the men were steady, it was.,a-test to which no general could long subject his troops. They presently swerved a little from that line of advance, and there was no longer a con tinuous column of infantry pouring out of these woods. The attack of- the-Prussians on the centre was clearly checked. About five o'clock,' how ever, another brigade of:fresh infantry was again formed in the wood and emerged from its cover. .Once out from under the trees they advanced at a double quick. I watched their movements, for the French guns had not lost the range of, the wood nor of the ground in front. Seen at . a distance, with a powerful glass, the brigade was a huge serpent, bending with the undulation of the fields, but it left a dark track behind it, and-the glass resolved the dark track into falling, dying, and dead men. As the..horrid:..signiticance. of that path so raced came upon me I fl_.2 ed on more intently. Many of those who had fallen, leaped up again and ran for Ward a little way,-striving still to go on with, their comrades. : Of those who went backward instead of forward there wen a few, though many fell as they painfully en deavored to follow the advance. I do not know whether, after the Vain effort of that brigade; another movement was attempted fromwithiu the wood, but half au hour afterwards great numbers of troops began to march cv, er the JAR where ,twas standing, and moved for Ward toward the field Where so bardra . -strugg,le -Lad-been .• so , long.r:plFof raeted: These also were, I think, a portion of General Goeben's troops, who had been directed upon a less dangerous route. The conflict from this point on the Prussian left became so fierce that it was soon lost to us, or almost lost, by reason of the smoke. Now and then the thick smoke cloud would open a little and drift away on the wind, awl then we could see the French. I tried to get a better view of this part.of the went forward about half a mile, and ffOin my new stand-point found mygelf not far from INlaltnai- / The French line on the hills was still un broken, and to all appearances they were hav ing the beSt of the battle, but this appearance was due perhaps to the fact that the French were mole clearly visible oh their broad heights and fighting with such singular obstinacy. They plainly silenced a Prussian battery now and then, but the Prussian line also was strengthened by degrees On their northern front by infantry and artillery brought up; and from far in the rear, seemingly in the direction f Vernevime, shot and shell began breaking the French ranks. • • These were the men and these were the guns of Steinmetz, who there and then-effected his junettoh . Kith rh , ..truay of Frinee Frederick Charles, •And cOmpleted .the investment of Metz to the 'northwest. With reinforcements thus continually arriving on . both sides,.the -battle-grew-more and-more-obtinate-.-'--Ther could be no doubt the French understood the meaning of the new movement of the Prus sians, and of the gradual development of their line to the north. Steinmetz was able to extend his line grad uallY further and further until the French -were ontflanked and. began to-be threatened, as it appeared, with an- attack on the rear of their right wing. So long as the smoke from the Prpssian: guns hovered only over their front the French _clung to their_position.. . The distance limn headquarters where the osSian ilauk • attactLatraglnd ir rd tas great, and to add to the difficulty of clearly, seeing the progress of the .battle, the darkness was condi - g on. I. know not how long the French beta out, nor at what precise moment the Prussian onset became irresistible. • What I saw was this: ,The puffs of smoke from the French guns mingled with the flames, brightening as the darkness increased, receding gradually. The cloud and flame from the north decreased as I gradually and steadily ap proached, and with that advance the French fire grew every moment more slack. it was nearly nine o'clock when the ground was yielded finally on the north, and the last shots fired on that .terrible evening were heard in that , direction.
