CORRESPONDENCE. MOTES OF A TRIP TO AND LTPON THE .LASE SLPERIOR AND MISSISSIPPI RAILROAD. - - Special Correeoonden co of the Phtla.Everiniz CLARK iIOUSE, Duluth, Minnesetta, . august 19th, 1870.—After one week's pilgrim:- age, our flock of fifty is safely folded in the re-, treat known as the Clark House, in this city. There can hardly be.found a bbtter illdstration of the rapid growth of a frontier town when rightly seated than the need for this commo dious hostelry of. one hundred and thirty rooms, capable of one hundred and fifty guests, and measuring one hundred and sixty by one hundred and lifty•feet, in a spot•which,fourteen months ago, .was a whariless. bank, dotted with -a few clapboard shells, and visited by say ages.. Our party are all well, and individually de lighted with their ,The latter; as in any of my readers know, was organized by the firm of Jay Cooke & Co., and a few other Eastern capitalists, for the purpose of exhibit ing the noble highway of trade opened through their intelligent energy to direct the commerce of the West, through the Northern Overland 'route, the Mississippi river,and the chain of the Great Lakes, to the East. This is effected by connecting the 3lississippi river, at St. Paul's, with the head of Lake Superior at this point, by-means of a railroad, just built, and measur ing only one hundred and fifty-four miles. The Neith paeffic fro* vigorously push.. ing westward, is directed from. hither to Piiget Sound,-and the trade erriptied into the Lakes by theSe sources itiaY be. carried Withoilt . lift ing from the water to Europe and loAsia anct Africa. I have written of: our arrival at 'Williamsport on August 13th. On Saturday, August 13th, after a coquettish little breakfast at the hotel, we left Williams port.. The elegant little town was preparing to run with 'abandon .another : day of its feverish' summer life as a waterinkplace. The dancers -. Who - had spun until' mowing were Coining down . with rather dissipated-looking faces to the breakfast-rooni; and the carriages were rolling up through the lawn to meet them, and the domesticated trout were thronging through the pools to be admired, and the fine gieen hills were smiling in the prospect of being climbed by pretty feet, and the villas were opening their lazy shutters, and the horse-cars were ringing down the streets. The throng of visitors, fol lowing-the tasteful - American plan - of carrying the city on their backs into t ie country, were that same patiently-flirting, - patiently-dressing throng one meets at Saratoga and the sea. - Our little special train of three cars was wait ing conveniently at the door.. Since Harris burg, where=weliad deflected to the northwest, we bad abandoned the Pennsylvania Central, and assumed the Erie Road proper. Our miniature train, like all specials, was "cock•of the walk:" The special train, in the railway code, has absolute right to, the track against all trains regular and irregular. All trains and engines bad to be clear of the main track twenty minutes before we Were due, and supervisors -must-have the track cleared of all obstructions half an hour before our time as tabled at the various way-stations". The only concession made was to the Empire Freight line east, which met us at Lock Haven; that train was only obliged to make ten min utes extra, and wait for us. Our own engi neer, for .his part, .was furnished with full notes of the time at which every eastward train would meet us, and we met and passed, courteously waiting on sidinas, the Erie 'Ex press, the Empire Freight, the Local Freight from Lock Haven, and seven or eight others, successively, before arriving at Erie. Our engine was a beauty,built at the shops of the line, though the valves and fixtures bore the name of William Sellers, Philadelphia. The accommodations were ample for our party of fifty. Little family tele•it-totes of ladies and gentlemen, grouped by reversing the backs of the seats,wrapped themselves in their bouillons and contemplated the landscape, now moment ly growing wilder and more chilly. At inter vals, from the recesses of the freight-car, issued rations of sandwiches, claret-punch—which a man of Augustine's, who had a cunning recipe of his own, was miring • there—and other com missariat superfluities; they were borne along by little Ben, of the large, ,thougbtfal and fleecy bead, whose pensive politeness greatly entertained us. Lest our heartfelt thanks for the most - careful and watchful hospitality that ever company received should, by any chance, not get to the right address, I would lira Co present them here to Ben, Fifty-two miles from Williamsport, at a little station called Itenovo. we observed a fine hotel, whoSe grounds were decorated with a chain of ponds and fountains fed from the cOld hill-streams,Titudinost dantly stocked with artificially-bred trout,some individuals of which were a foot long. The ladies, willing by this time to change their po sitions, all left the carriages to see this hand some display. We were now entering the lofty recesses and Sanctuaries of the grand Allegheny ridge. The garden-culture of the rich farms we had ob served on the previous day's travel gave place to the swelling eminences of forest-clothed hills, patched here and there with fields whose discouraged crops were in marked contrast with the wealthy efflorescence of those in East ern Pennsylvania. The Susquehanna was en cumbered with a great wealth of felled lumber. The mountains, shaggy with timber, seamed with coal, opened around us in rich panoramic development. From the locomotive, upon which I was riling, I could see the great lumber-slides, tearing a precipitate path down the mountain-side, as at Cameron, or contributing, from grimy -black apertures in the slopes, their crumbling riches of bitu milieus coal, The region, during the oil excitement, was probed for petroleum like wise,,but unavailingly, and the lofty wooded frames over the useless wells were rotting away to nothingness on every side. The beauty of this as - A Tonrist'N Route struck me with constant amazement and de light. Little kuoivn to the fashionable ex plorers, who think nothing of throwing them selves across to the White Mountains, and scarcely more of 'going to the Alps, it 'has seemed " too far to that class who derive their cue from the guide-books merely. Yet, for zoble -Peatity- and-tinspeiled,,grandeur,- the highlands penetrated by the upper reach of the Erie road can hardly be equalled in any part of the world. "c.aps," far more striking. and piquant than the famous Lehigh Gap, Opened at nearly all of the. - many turns of the, river. . The sharp spurs of the mountains, pushing !to the; water, showed their sharpest outlines as we successively sighted up their sides, and would often collect at a, given water-shed in a focal grouping that showed theloriF.on,-peaked - all around with giddy pyramidal mountain tops. It is a country fit for the romances of Arthur and the enchantments of Merlin. We, for our part, saw it under great tragic curtains of gray storm, fringing out amongst the shaggy prominences of thebills, now hiding and -now enhancing their ,relief., . At-a Station,. called St. Mary's, 12S miles 'belOw trie, the grade hegail to! rise with considerable rapidity, and about here our route parted company with the West Branch of the Susquehanna. Thirty-five miles further on we approached the romantic moun tain-station of Kane, on;a severe 100-foot grade. The magnificent hemlock and bird's-eye forests sunk gradually .below us as the engine fiercely and laboriously climbed, licking up the continuous shovelsful of fuel fed to it by the fireman, and shooting backtVard flames of almost white fire across his figure to the supply in the coal-box. We reached this lofty station of Kane at half-past one,. disembarked into a huge shingle dining-room, and partook of venison and brook-troitt at :it -long shackling board: The. chill; the fare, the general rudenes's and the rough .but„willing service at the fable :strongly reminded me of a' dinner at the Tip-top House on Mount Washington, as such a dinner used to be twelve, years ago; when last I had the enterprise to place that. summit beneath .me. So, lifted far above the general area of our native State, we fed on the wild flesh of the mountains, and haggard waiters, of both sexes, every age, and various nationalities, clashed • madly amongst each other, in their rusticat efforts to make-us ,conifiirtable. Kane is but a - small place; but it - is high: - It sits two thousand feet above tide. it is named from Gen. Kane, who raised the gallant Buck tail Regiment, and who lived on a wild perch among the forests just-by. A very large 00- room - hotel has been built, and finished for a year, but the accession of summer travel to Kane has not yet warranted its opening. In this lofty region our route curiously curved amidst streams dyed brown with hemlock, l foaming amongst the roots of trees that re- tames in en. ar :=the arrow eaas o races that bad never heard of ours, and, what was far more strange, shed their . currents alter- nately east and west into the Ohio and Sus quehannau rivers. Yes, the same cloud droop ing upon "VS- On the wind ont some of its water southeastwardly into the Chesapeake, _and some. into _.the.Gulf _ of Mexico ..along the Allegheny, Ohio and Mississippi, while a frac tion drained northward into Lake Erie, and found the leap of Niagara and the_ gaping lips of the Saint Lawrence. , The landmarks liereaboUts occurring on our track hole witness to the great importance of the Philadelphia and Erie 'Road as an outlet to the teeming products of Pennsylvania. The coal-mines, not half as numerous as they soon must be, contributed their dusky loads to the freight cars that waited for us at the switches, and instead of stations we had suct waymarks as Cumming's Siding, Wller's Siding, Broken straw Siding, horn's Siding, Lloyd's - Siding. One station, of vast local importance, has been entirely created since the short life of the oil industry of our State. It is that of korry, forty-five miles directly north of Oil City, and thirty-seven southeast of Erie. It is situated at the intersection of the road we have been following, and Mr. Jay Gould's (New York) Erie road, whose tourist passengers may go from New York to Cincinnati without changing cars, and whose stock corresponds with our own Leading in being the bait for greedy gamble's. Cony receives several other feed ing lines, but its special importance is derived from its being the depot for petroleum from Oil City and Pithole. The largest oil refinery n the State, and perhaps anywhere, is the Downer Oilworks, opposite the station. Trains of enormous oil-tanks containing the crude ma terial were collected near by, while the blue painted barrels containing the purified fluid were seep at all the freight:depots east andxest of the station,conveying a superb idea of Penn sylvania's plethora of natural wealth. At half-past five we rolled gently into Erie, making use of one of the freight-tracks to con vey us directly to the Coat which was waiting to float us through the aquatic portion of our route. Bidding adieu to the smooth and strong carriages which had borne us so well across the diagonal of our State, we embarked upon the steamer Winslow, which sat just by in the dock, with a line_of_proyaising,atuLindeed appetizing—black waiters standing upon the bulwarks of the deck like a Me of caryatides. It was dusk and chill, and we were hungry enough almost to have eaten them. The transfer of our .parcels and precious selves was quickly effected, and we were soon standing out into the Lake, with the dark spires of Erie fringing the sky behind, and ahead the sullen splendors of a sunset half drowned in scattering storms. Here we were joined by Hon. John K. Moor head. Erie, as the great future dispersing-station of that part of the breadstulfs of the far West and of the commerce of the Pacific railway which shall seek a southeastern market, has natural advantages well fitting her for her destiny. It has 20,000 inhabitants. Its site upon the Lake is tine, iLs harbor is formed by singular natural curves of land, and it has even a supply of indigenous gas, apparently, inexhaustible, and available either for power or illumination The water-works of Erie are driven by heat obtained from this gas, five wells' of which ex ist; in the place. The Lake water is, pumped bythia cheap appliance into a.standpipe, which is a very conspicuous object in the view ; it is 225 feet in height, is said Co be the tallest in the country, and affords a hydrostatic pressure beyond any of the existing needs of the ,city. There are several blast furnaces in Erie, using_ Pennsylvania bituminous coal and iron ore from Shenango valley. A couple of foundries and four or five machine-shops are working in the city:,__ Lime forflux, is_brought frOM Relley's Island, near Sandusky. Although the business energies of Erie have long lain coin paratively' dormant, yet land is hMd at high priets-irr thirtirin Rath of Tilefelapment by ex- PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1870. .„ . traneous means when tbo--transport system of the Lakes should connect -more firmly with .the western half of the continent, as it now does at-the emporiuM of Duluth. Erie sleeps upon her Jake a dreaming queen, half-conScious of her wealth and power, but sure to rise and take one of the thrones of a splendid future. upon which we here embarked, was neat specimen of the craft built for transport upon the Lakes. These boats are long, width light upon the water,and cannot , ue.made very large, on account of the present draught,of the cabal connecting Lakes Huron and Snperior,. soon to be described. - The :Winslow, haice steamer of a--thousand tons burden; was bal lasted with 540 tons of ,rails for,t,hallorth Pa cific road, to:be -carried to Duluth. She was 230 feet long, aad'very narrow, tmd was moved by a propellor of four flanges. The , impulse thus obtained was the mok regular I.ha.ve ever noticed on a steamer of this kind, and the most delicate passengers were hardly even discom posed by the motion. At the time I write she has carried us six days and spanned three of the great lakes in ease and safety, and I feel tempted to breathe a blessing on her as Oh lies outside my windows in her lapping dock under the starlight of Minnesota. Well, we gathered upon the lower deck of this 'elegant salmon-shaped propeller. . The screw gave a few anxious wrenches, and then began to persuade the water, smoothly- -and regularly, away_from our sides.... T,hpsailors,.-.--. rough men, riVer-dogs, salts and. canalers,— webt about their business, always - so inexpli cable to landsmen, - the blackened - firemen - re-, treated to their Gehenna, and there was only left on the after-deck A Shaggy Water-narenpine, with a complexion like horn, to whom Bunsby or Captain Cuttle would have been urbane and commonplace. One of our nobbiest and most exquisite youths, -kindly going up, addressed this .Ancieat Mariner. Airily touching off the ash from bis.cigarette, velvet,coat remarked; " Wet, to-day, Sir!" "I can see that for myselt, ' reforfed the de spise'. of commonplace. "Isn't this the Equinoctial, Sis 2" • "In my time, young gentleman, the Equi noctial never came afore the sixteenth of Sep tember. This is. the thirteenth of August, You make the calculation for yourself, Sir." This Bear of the Lakes, in short, turned out to be a Timon, despising the delicacy of the Athenians. His life and fortune had been made on the fresh tide and he liveS and will live on the water he no longer actually follows, as the ragged old stork lies on the wing -of his strong_offspring___and. threets_the..nalgrationle can -- no longer lead. The cabin of the' steamer was long and roomy, Ming With a rirotusion of 'S t tl i l and shining with cleanliness. In pretty bower - we - were naostitindlymade Welcome by Mr. E. T. Evans, of Buffalo, owner of the of which this was one. It was the princely and munificent hospitality of this gentleman to which the whole large party. of ..excuisionists owed the trip and its various entertainments— a hospitality, as one of his debtors truly re inarked, sueli as no foreign nehleniati living could offer his invitees. Mr. Evans, as well as his wife, a lady of refinement and accomplish ments, has accompanied us throughout, min istering by the most assiduous attentions to the comfort_and recreation of the party. Sunday the 14th dawned brilliantly upon dancing, waters of take Erie; and the cliani from the solid to the calm liquid element was a Sabbath in itself. During the morning the party assembled in the cabin to hear Rev. Dr. Vinton read the majestic Service of the Episcopal Church. in those ringing and solemn tones which have so often echoed down the nave of old Trinity. The Dr.'s discourse, pronounced from the text Which. describes the falling and miracle of Elijah's mantle, referred to the perpetuation of the holy office, and proved that neither in church, nation, or family does the government cease at the removal of a particular incumbent. He quoted Talleyrand's remark that "in the State no man is necessary," and comforted the mourners who, at the removal of the honored parent or chief, are using the language of Elisha, "My father! my father !" The good Doctor, by the by, when the surplice was re moved and the tourist's costume substituted, proved to be the most genial and entertaining'of companions, and has constantly kept the party in fine humor by his readiness of resource, guileless good spirits, quickness of allusion and wide reading. The afternoon landed us at the western extremety of the lake, at a city which we found, on a short exploration, to be quite unexpectedly beautiful and interest ing,even under the dullness of a summer Sun day. The capital of Michigan,a city of 60,000 resi dents, under the influence and confluence of --various-political-and-business- interests;•has be come one of the most elegant and commodious places of residence one could point out. A superb City Hall, built of freestone in ornate French style by Mr. Anderson, an architect of the place, is now finished externally, and is one of the very finest in the country. The stores are magnificent, the principal druggist having a marble palace to dispense in, while his very soda -water foun tains washed-the glasses for us automatically, and spin a pyramid of them round in some sort of decorative mystery that was a puzzle to the most experienced among us. A finer book store than that of Smith & Co., whose clerk obligingly supplied With us with a fund -of pleasant literature; can hardly exist; is all carved oak and walnut, fresco and religious light, and suggests the private library of sonic luxurious potentate.

The finest residences in the suburbs of Detroit are on the street leading to the Fort, where Mr. Buell, a fur importer, has a splendid man- sion surrounded by a garden of clipped cypresses that almost resembles au Italian cemeteryi The Finest Establishment on this street, however, is undoubtedly that of Captain E. B. Ward, worth six or seven mil lions, and esteemed the richissimus of Michi gan. An interesting story is told of the foundation of this gentleman's fortune. When a youth of nineteen he accompanied a cargo sent by bisi uncle ; Upon one of the lake schooners: • The schooner was injured and abandoned; by the • captain as a wrecic ' The latter Was soon afterwards engaged in-explain ing the circumstance to the, owner of tha freight, when the vessel was seen 'by theM both standing in for port, Saved, tinkered,'and the cargo resened, and steered into harhor by this Archimedes of nineteen.. This, for the handy American nation, is perhaps a better example than that bore CaSablanca. We saw the brave captain, when, on driving past, we were invited into the beautiful grounds. He is a plain, stout man in black, with' keenness and utter absence of nonsenselegibly written all over his face, hands and motions. He asked us into some of his graperies, where abundance of the fruit grows under simple glass" shelter, and plucked us great cluster after cluster of delicate green Chasselas grapes.

He has eleven green-houses• for his vines, each. 22 by 150 feet_ in area.; in a few the plants Are forced by heat; hut generally the growth is natural. Although raising many tons each year, he has never sold a grape, but scatters the vast yield entirely away in presents to his friends. Captain Ward has an immensely large rail-mill in Chicago, others at Wyaudott, Milwaukee, &c. An English firm, lately, having foundered in desperate efforts to run-a Similar establishment on the Canadian side, applied to him for assistance._ "I sent half a dozen of My men across the'St. - Clair," said the old gentleman, quietly, "and we've run it since." He has latterly turned his attention and capital to the manufacture of steel rails Byway of good-bye the captain said, quite p renthetically, and in the midst of talk about iron, ." Ilave another bunch all round, and come again in two weeks, when my Black Ilambings will be ripe."

THE WAR. f7halons Deseited—Blocements • :of the Forces---Foreign Intervention ----Naval Engagement. LONDON, Aug. 24.[Special to the New "York Tribtote.]---A spedial correspondent from _Rheims on Monday says : The Chalons camp is so completely deserted that not a straggler is .to be seen. We found them again on theProad to Rheims, which was crowded with troops of every arm. As we approached the city we saw the French army encamped parallel to the road from St. Menehould, and separated from it by Noirvesle. • They are camped. on' the right' _hank of Neste, looking down. the stream....._. T.n ill not pretend to say what this unexpected movement meant, but it 'leeks as if part at least of Bazaine's forces had escaped from 31.1etz, and are expected to' join the ,Chalons army at or near Rheims. There is a honor that Bazaine is passing through Grand Pie and Vouzieres. What makes it look probable is a strongforce of light cavalry here, two brigades of chassetirs and hussars. They are probably the advance-guard. Since I began this letter news has been re ceived at the Prefecture that Bazaine with part of his army is in fast retreat by Vouzieres, very Bard pressed by the Prussians. He Was obliged to abandon hisretreat on the Verdun road, 'which was completely in posseSsion of the Prus ians, and that is why all prisoners and muni tions were sent back from Verdun to Rheims. RH any force has succeeded in reaching Von 2.teres, or is on the road thither, it must have escaped-from Metz on the northwest, or is per taps that column which we believe hail got 'past Gravelotte before the Prussians seized the road on the 18th ; but no word - has come di rect from Bazaine for two days, and my belief as that he is cut off. At any rate his nearest line of retreat was closed, and If he has been ,driven off into Argonnes there is no telling when is expected a junction of his forces with those of MacMahon can bp accomplished, and if they join who is to command, for neither will serve =der the other. Discontent,is spreading, fast runoug the troopk,a9d even among the officers, who are diem:ll[6d • liy - ffi'elliligre of Bazaine thus far t&tinite with Itic - Igahon. - ' French leletrams, both date& yesterday inorning, and e'ening, and received in Loudon iilteneen sly' tills morning, place Mae Mahon • Ins!, at ,Chalons and then at Menus, The lat' ter is true; as the above letter shows. • •• .

The, reported meeting of-foreign ambassal , dors in Plifs consider 'possible . tents of peace.' is wholly discredited.- Prussia , would consider such-meeting, held in the enemy's Cap ital, a gross discourtesy. Such initiative would be regarded as serious if- taken in .tondtin or Petersburg; but in- Paris almost as a violation of neutrality, and' Prussia - neither believes the statement nor would listen for a moment to , any proposal so originating. ' , A special correspondent sends from Ham ; burg on Monday- an, account of the first naval engagement of the war: On 'the - morning of : the 17th. the. ,German despatch-boat Grille started ont(the .Bay , of itugeni to reconnoitre the position and strength of, the French ships ! of war, whose Arrival in the nelghborhoOd had been reportedThougknobedybad-J a.sjyet seen them. After proceeding' at sea until within sight of the Danish island of Moen, the Grille at length discovered the tall masts of the squadron, con sisting of iron-clad frigates and a- couple of smallerveaels, and approaching %-bOldly until within three thntitiand Paces. The French then opened fire and directed several broad sides at the little craft, at the same time giving chase, every now and then lying -to to lire a few shots at her pursuers from : her two rifled' twelve-pounders in answer to the guns of the whole fleet. She lured them to follow her as far . as Post-House at Wittem,where three gunboats, the Driche, Blitz' and Salamander were lying, which, on bearing the report of cannonading at sea. itnmedkitely wit up , steam' and weighed anehor to stand by their consort. The commodore of the little smiadrOti, Cap - tain -Count Von - Wahjerz, made,signal for.; the comniander -of each gunboat to , attack the enemy at his own 'discretion, which produced loud cheers, and they all steamed out ready for action with the superior force of the enemy. After-a running fight of three hours, the gun boats, finding their guns were harmless against the plated sides of the iron -clads, returned to the protection of their shore batteries towards the evening. It is thou =ht ith ht the French fired either - too high - or far, low, but it - w dillieult in a - fresh breeze to take steady aim at the little gunboatslOW in the water; and fainted gray so -as to be. almost invisible. Several shots from the gunboats hit their mark, and shells from . the Salamander were seen to . explode on ''the deck of one of the ships, and must have done some damage to the men at her guns. The German flotilla suffered no losses what ever, though it might have been very different had any of the heavy 25 centimetre shells, fired from ..the French ships taken effect and ploded on the deck of the gunboats. The lat ter having filled - up their stock of animunition - - 0 returned toWsta LM MEI lions in the outer roads,where-they are on out post duty. - Ti IS Am* Ltgidalif, held last . evening, was unusually. turbulent. In reply to a question MiniSter - Duvernois. gave assurance - : - that there was an ample store of -provisions-in Paris. :Seve ral other interpellations Were made by various members. Notwithstanding ,answers were. returned wbieh could not be Otberwise than satisfac tory, yet - there. was inuch excitement main fes•ed. Jules Simon proposed to send out of the city immediately all those who.could not bear arms for France.' This propositirni was greeted with great applause. Glais suggested_ liae sending away td all wounded.' JuJes Simon eiierg;etie,ally protested againsl that. Deputy Tochard created a tumult by saying there was a scarcity of arms for the troops in certain quarters. The majority protested. -31 i II ister Braune said that arms would be duly distributed: — 11e" culled' the attention of the Deputies to the fact that questions concerning armament should not be discussed too much. Deputy Gambetta, who was much excited, accused the majority of having brought on the war. His remarks were so harsh that the ma jority refused to listen to him, and his voice was drowned by the uproar, and the session ended tumultuously. Gambetta is generally blamed for his lack of discretion. PARIS, Aug. 24.—A despatch from Mezieres, dated yesterday afternoon, contains the follow ing : MacMahon and Bazaine are now ready to assume the offensive, and a movement is expected immediately. They will attack the Prussians together. Bazaine wished to leave Metz, but he. was not able. On his side the enemy in return wished to seize and cut his communications with Paris, nor did he succeed any better. This is in two words the situation and ex planation of the recent engagements. We have sustained severe and heavy losses, it is said, but those of the enemy have been enor mous and.ont ofL all proportion, to the merely negative advantage - which he has attained. It is difficult to obtain accurate news of what has taken place at Chalons or in the neighbor hood. At the War Department they peremp torily refuse to say anything on the subject. 1 am assured that the Prussian Prince has given over Iris direct march on Paris, and that tie waits for the Prussian army before Metz to deliver a great battle. Other despatches say that he is at Bar-le-Due. . . LONDON, Atu,,et. 24—[Special to the New York Stind—l did not succeed in reaching Bazaine. The 'Prussians-are everywhere guarding every 1!;Iss• At Uckange the Grand Rauge..anditich, Mond Railroad is cut, and the way.from Mont reedy to Thionville is .equally out of order. Bazaine is not at Verdun. He is shut up in the Prussian net between Metz, Grand Range, the river Arne, and the road from Metz to Etain. Macllalion left Chalons, after burning the camp, for Rheims. • There he left the Emperor and part of his troops and went,in a northeast direction, but I cannot yet ascertain, if it is a movement or reconnoissance. As far as I can see, the spirit of the troops is excellent, but I never saw before so much incompetency and disorder in manceuvre. I feel perfectly sure the leaders do not say anything because they do not know better. Gen. Lebrun assumed command of the 12th Corps, vice Trochu.
