LONDON, August 25, 1870.—The arrival of
the Eing at Bar-le-Due is the best comment
on the trench stories assiduously spread in
Paris that the Prussians were "caught in a
trap at Metz:. MacMahon's movements are
known to the Prussians, and they tiO not
think them of enough consequence to delay
the advance of the Crown Prince, or prevent ,
the detachment of parts of Steinmetz's and of
Prince. Frederick Charles's forces to
strengthen the column moving on Paris
The Prussian front now stretches thirty or
forty miles,the main column apparently march

wing has enveloped Chaumont and Brienne

_94.tverotitent. Accused of Incapacity. -
In the - Ses - sion of the Corp.;r Lpriisfafif on the
11th i Mt., as briefly summarized by cable, M.
Heratry demanded a parliamentary inquiry
nn the war; -- wbleb Was not conceded, and M.
I Gl* ot-Montpayroux inquired . who was in
i (mimand of the army. Count Pi:Ilk:to
;Answered, Marshal Bazaine; ' and then M.
'1 Biers rose. His speech, which is now of
pecial sir:vatic:wee, as be has been since Wed
eesday a member of. the Committee of De
fei .ee was as follows: .
i apologize to the Chamber for intervening
iu tlas - discussion:' - I do- So only . to calm the
emotion of all by defining the, question at
issue. The Minister of War, in 'toiling the
Chamber who commands the army, has recog
nized a right belonging to the Chamber, al
ways incentestable, and which it is urgently
necessary to exercise at present. 1 7'rrs ilit:it,
(re,: bivn,j Yes,. the country mast know that
the Chamber is acting with vigilance, and
that it renounces no part of the power
which it desires it should liberally
command. [Warm approval from the
Left.] I have rejected the proposition of M.
Keratry, first, because, in the agitation of the
moment we cannot be just ] tris lien, tr('.. , . Wen] ;
and next, because Marshal Lelimuf, whom I
respect personally, but whose blindness I de-
plore; is no longer Major-General ; he is in the
field,- and we should be silent for te moment.
[Rewed probationut t mt
not ne be concluded fro.] B i
m our , attitude
' that we are indulgent toward the blindness
which gave as war. The world is surprised at
our disasters, a fact at one cruel and consoling
for us. When we were fighting against the '
coalition, we were exposed to defeat, but the
greatness of the conflict preserved the national
honor. To-day we are contending- only with
one power, and the world is astonished at our
reverses. What is the explanation of this'?
France : was not ready ! IC' est. twit ! Tr is
Lien i trey Lien en 'I Fifteen days ago I did not
say all [interruption.] I could not say
all. I had formal proof' that France was
not ready ! INoise.] I never did a more pa
triotic act in my life than on that day. [Ap
plaue on the Left.] No ! France was not
ready, and it is important that it should be
be known. It is the only explanation of our
reverses. It was the strongeSt motive I had
for opposing the war. No ! we were not
ready. I told the Ministers so,aud that is Why
I deplored the vote for. war. Well, gentle
men, I pray you, I supplicate you, that your
attitude now shall mean only this : we are not
calm-enough to be just; we do `not" - desire-to
withdraw a single braye' soldier from the field;
but we do not convey that France was in our
opild(111 ready
Count Do La Tour—she was not, but she is
going to be.
M. Thiers—What other explanation can be
given fur recent events than this: France was
rot ready, and the Government was lima;
pable! [lnterruption.] If you wish to shield
these men ' you compromise the country.
I Tre: Wen, lres biol.] ' I de not certainly desire
to overwhelm unfortunate Men, and add to
the sorrow which must fill their hearts; but
man must net be defended at the expense of
the country. [Applause on several benches.]
M. Haentjens,No one defends them.
M. Jourdain—This is not a time for recrimi
nations; it is a time for action. [Noise.]
M. Thiers—Once more I ask the Chamber
not to make the world believe that France
was ready. France and all nations see the he
roism of our soldiers; but there was absolute
incapacity in the management of aflhirs. Let
us not Weaken an explanation which shields us
in the eyes of the world. [Renewed applause
on the. Left.] - - '
Tbe President—The incident is closed. '
The Chamber proceeded to consider the
question of arming the National Guard

—A Metz letter says the appointment of
Marshal Bazaine was very agreeable to the
French army. The soldiers began to smile
forthwith. Marshal Lelseuf and General
Frossard were at once put aside. General
Changarnier's arrival was also hailed with
pleasure. The old soldier came without lug
gage; borrowed a tunic from this one, a kepi
irom that, prbeured him a•borse somewheres,
and straightway visited the camps, where the
troops saluted him.

the bare suggestion his tranquillity broke down
and lie began to cry. On which he was allowed

—The hnowledge of the Prench districts
shown by the stall of the German army is con
sidered wonderful. Not only do they knoW
every village, but-they can- tell - at- once -thet
amount of stabling to be found in it; Whether
there is a large church orschoolroom in which
men or horses can be quartered. They are
well informed as to the accommodation to be
got in France, and the staff ean say at once
how many horses can - ho stabled in every
village from-the frontier-to Paris.
—The war is, of course, producing the usual
number of marvelous compounds. A French -

instantly decotoposing attnespherie: . air, "arid'

but it must be said that appearances
are all against them. France was no

might have been a dillerent story to tell if a

A roar like thunder strikes the ear,
Like clang of arms or breakers near,,
" On for the Rhine, the German Rhine !
Who shields thee, my beloved Rhine*."'
Dear Fatherland, thou needs net fear,
Thy Rhineland watch stands firmly here.
A hundred thousand hearts beat high,
The Hash darts forth from ev'ry eve,
For Teutons brave, inured by toil,'
Protect their country's holy soil.
Dear Fatherland, thou needs not fear,
Thy Rhineland watch stands firmly here.
The heart may break in agony,
Yet Frenchman thou shalt never be.
in water rich is Rhine ; thy flood,
Germania, rich in heroes' blood.
Dear Fatherland, thou needs not fear,

When I:6N-on words ascends the eye
Our heroes' ghosts look down from high;
We swear to guard our dear bequest
And shield it with the German breast.
_Dear Fatherland, thou needs tiot- fear,- --

As long as German blood still glows,
The German sword strikes mighty blows,
And German marksmen take their stand,
No foe shall tread our native land.
Dear Fatherland, thou needs not fear,
Thy Rhineland watch stands firmly here.
We take the pledge. The stream rims by;
Our banners, proud, are wafting high.
On for the Rhine, the German Rhino?
We all die for our native Rhine.
Hence, Fatherland, ho of good cheer,
Thy Rhineland watch stands firmly here.

FRIDAY AUGUST 26, 1870
Prince Felt.: Salm-Salm.
• A certain interest will be excited in the
United States by the news that at the battle of
Gravelotte; on the 18th, Prince Felix Salm-
Salm, major in the Fourth Regiment of Dra
gOons of the Royal Prussian - Guard, was killed
while charging at the head of his cavalry.
Felix Constantine John Nepomuc Salm-
Salm, born in 1828, was the second son of
Prince Florentin Salm-Salim, and the
brother of. Prince Alfred; the actual head
of the once sovereign family of that
name. He early entered the Prus
sian service; passed thence into
the Austrian : and having exhausted the pa
tience, if not the purse, of the Prince, his elder
brother, who thrice paid his debts for him at
Berlin and Vienna, came to America on a sort
of desperate military adventure at the oetset of
our civil war. Here he made- liithself better
known than esteemed in the too famous
camps of Bleaker and about the hotels of
Washington, till, fortunately, for himself,
lie felL_.iu. with, found layer in the . : sight
Of, and Married .a hand Some, .
spirited! girl of Creole origin, Miss .LeCierc
She new princess, made up her mind to
he a -princess • indeed. .Througb
tatigable•riXertibria of all her husband
was made a Brigadier in the United States
army. He served in Alabama . and Georgia
with no particular distinction, but not without
. credit. After the war was over he hesitated
for some time between accepting a position in
our regular army and going back to Europe,
and finally decided on trying his fortunes in
• Mexico. He was not at first well received by
Maximilian,then nearing the close of his hope
less imperial experiment. But the calamities
'of - 1887 throw him' into •,•elese.: relations
With the - unTOrtilziate — Etifpeir - or; -who finally
.made him his first.. aidtKlecamp. He went
with Maximilian to Queretaro '
• behaved most
faithfully arid gallantly in that dark hour of
treachery and despair; was captured with liiii
master, and would doubtless have been shot
with him had not his wife displayed, in the
service both of her luckless husband and of
his more luckless emperor, a fertility of re
-sources, a daring,- a perseverance, and - a skill'
worthy of any heroine of romance. The Prin
cess finally succeeded on saving her husband's
life. He suffered an imprisonment of nearly
a year at Vera Cruz, from which also by her
influence and energy he was_ released in 1868.
_She then went_with. hiai fo,,,Europe,where-she--
fought and won.a still more ardnous_hattle-for
him by securing not only his readmission to
the social privileges of- his - order - but his an=
point - tient to the high rank which he held
at_the_tiine hiS_4leath in the-Prussian
army. His brother wa5..1141.uc.ed..b.y...1.1.,t0
make-this possibre •by paying once more the
Prince's debts in Prussia.____His_r_ debts in
:Austria it would have been 'cod - much to ek
pect should be unnecessarily settled; and
Prince Felix took up on his return an attitude
.towards the House of Hapsbarg which inatle
such a settlement unnecessary by making it
practically impoSsible for him to reside if he
bad wished to in Vienna. He published last
year a curious sketch of the career of Maxi
milian in Mexico,- in =two-volumes -; Which-is -
'full of interesting - personal incident,
and may be considered, " under proper
reserves," as a valuable contribution
to the history of one of the most
dramatic and least : understood episodes in the_
annals of otir time.. Prince Felix claimed to
Lave been named by the Emperor, Maximilian
the executor of his character! and his corres
pondence. This claim he pressed, but pressed
in vain, on the Emperor i rancis Josenh,Who
declined to surrender to him the letters of his
u uttered brother. The Princess survives her
husband, and resides with, the family of his
' .rother_ at .A.nhalt, in the. Prussian States...
A correspondent of the St. .Joseph
(ictqte writes the following account of a bold
highway robbery:
• While we were sitting in the road ex
amining field notes, to my surprise a man had
ridden alongside of us who immediately de
manded our pecket-boolts. On looking up I
-aw a revolver pointed at us, evidently in
• aruest, while he insisted on the immediate
delivery of everything in our possession, say

came to the surface threw him an oar, which

SAD DROWNING CASE.
A DI
ran .and.llls-two Datighters Drowned
In the Erie Canal.
The Troy Times gives this account of 'a sad
affair that occurred near Cohoes on the 22d
" William Barnard, a farmer who lived in
Saratoga county, about - three miles north of
the village of Crescent, together with his two
daughters, young women about twenty-two
and twenty-four years of age, started yester
day with a horse and carriage to make a visit
to some friends in Cohoes. They remained
with their friends until almost 10 o'clock in
the evening. At that hour they started for
their home, expecting to reach there before
midnight.
" hen they had gone about half a mile
north of the boundary line of the city, and
about half that distance above the Cohoes
Company's dam, the horse was frightened by
a cow which-placed itself in the centre of the
road and refused to stir. The road at this
place runs parallel with the Erie canal and is I
close by the tow-path. When the cow was
first seen, Mr. Baynatd, probably appre-.
,heridiahat-the horse xv _
ouldmake-some de
maistrations, grasped,the reins tightly So as to
be ready for an emergency. His precautions
availed nothing, for when the . animal first
-caught a glimpse of the cow - ; he reared up oti his
bind feet with almost force enough to break
the shafts, and continued his demonstrations,
backing pp slowly but with-fatal sureness in
the direction of the canal. Mr. Barnard still
continued his efforts to subdue the animal,but
they were useless.
" A moment later and the three persons
were struggling in the canal. Their struggles
Were of brief duration, for in another moment
they were all drowned. A man employed as
a deck hand on the canal boat T. C.. House,
which - Xvas.cbiningdown the-.canal, - witnessed
the effort of Mr. Barnard to control the horse,
and when- hersaw the ending of the struggle
he went to the spot as rapidly as possible. He
was too late to be of any assistance to the un
fortunate persons who were in the water. He
plunged into the canal, however, and brought
the horse and carriage ashore. Then he
raised an alarm and a crowd was soon at the
scene. Efforts were made to recover the
- bodies, and about midnight the grappling
hooks brought to the surface the body of Mr.
Barnard. During the night the body of the
eldest daughter was also found, and this morn-.
lag about ten o'clock the third and last body
was secured.

Achat-Biggs of Delaware Has to Soy
about Congress.
1\ lien Biggs was nominated for Congress by

meteldl gives the following report of it :
The Convention then proceeded to nomi
nate a candidate for Congrdss, when George
T. Kay, of Sussex,.placed in nomination Hon.
B. T. Biggs, and on motion his nomination was
made unanimous. "-George T. Kay, of Sussex;
B. F. Gootee, of Kent, and A. 0. .Newton, of
ewcastle,- -were- - appointed -- a - committee - to
wait uptin the candidates and inform them of
their nomination. In a short time they re,
turned with
.31r. Biggs amid tench enthusi
asm, and he being introduced by the President,
thanked-the Convention—for the high honor
,::onferred upon him, and predicted the suc
cess of the Democratic party of Delaware
by a larger majority than -ever given
before (!) His public acts and
votes are recorded, and are a part of the his
tory of our country, and he was proud to have
them indorsed to-day by the Democrats of
Delaware. He said that the Democracy, es
pecially of New Castle county, had-a wily foe
to contend with. In addition to the fernier
opposition the enemy was strengthened by
the votes of the negroes. A voice—" Do you
want the nigger vote:"" "No !" says Mr.
Biggs. " 1 sail under the white man's flag,
and belong to the white man's party." He
threw himself upon the support of the white
people of Delaware, and by them would he be
elevated, or with them would he fall. He
stated that if the people knew as he did
of the corruption and extravagance of the
Black It epublimn Congress, they would arouse
en btasse, and take Grant with his corrupt
Cabinet, and Congress, with the exception of
the Democratic members, and throw the
whole corrupt mass into the Potomac river.
" I stand here," he said, "in the presence of
this people and Almighty God, and proclaim
the Fifteenth Amendment a monstrous fraud."
He gave his description of the San Domingo
massacre, and predicted that similar curses
would follow in this country. He said in MO
our nation was the Most happy and prosperous
on the face of the earth ; in 1810, there were
none so corrupt, degraded and humiliated.
