Incidents of the JFlght...lhlowilaclfahon Lost the Battle. • , icorrostkondenoo of the London Telegraph.) Whatever could have made Miterilahon ac cept a battle under the circumstances, lam utterly at a loss to conceive. A glance at the two armies seemed to show how utterly im possible it would_ have beenfor the French to do more than bold their own, and even to do this must. have cost them 'dear: But truth compels rue to state that the vast superiority in numbers was not the only reason why they lost the fight. The Prussian troops are, without exception, in the highest state of-discipline; the French are the very reverse. They are brave to a fattlt. - I never kneW men fight better, or des pise death more. I saw one . regiment of Zou ayes, which -was 2,000 .Strong -when it went' into . battle. .It lost an. Immense • number of. LIMO; and thesiirviYors were tinallYaurroinided by the - Prustdans, - They fought like devils ; ,and I don't think there could have been two hundred .men left when they-held up a white handkerchief; and were made prisoners. The Prussian officers themselves admit the reason why they took so many prisoners to be that the French were all detaclied,.were here and therein small bodies; `and were - all cut Off in detail. Tho Prussians seemed to me never to lose their formation; the French seethed -really never to have .had any. Their system; or want of syaeni, might an swer very well against undisciplined tribes in Algeria, but as they are they never will be able, to. face . regular. disciplined European array, I-repeat thatias regards - their braverneY.o.ll_. tuft fault,..there-can-be-no -doubt hatever. But in these days courage is not the only requisite for a soldier. In saying that Idacnahon's information was of the very worst kind, I am merely repeating what every French officer I have seen since the tight told me. It is hardly to be believed, but it is perfectly true, that the maps of Alsace furnished by the Prussian topographical de par:went to every officer in the army, were litinitely more correct than those used by the F;ench headquarter staff: But most to blame of all the military departments seems to have b.,eu the " Imi:tidal:tee." Prussian officers Dave told me that, if the French army in Sirashourg had crossed the Rhine about the i.sith of July, and with a hundred and fifty thonFunitmen made`a forced 'march upon Marinheini, the results of the campaign would have been very different. I believe the fighting portion of the army 4as perfectly ready to move on that day, but -:-bere were not two days' rations ready fortbein. foid by French' prisoners ; hat it was only on the day before the battle of Weertlithat the Chef d'lntendance of Mac -31 abon's army concluded the contract for ti esh meat for the men. Some days before 'having Strasbourg many of the regimental fii cers told-me that the army sincerely hoped - ibe present- campaign would be the last in w lii - chthe soldii;;ri wouldbe fed by the Intend _ ;ince, anditatit_was_fully-expected -they titre French') would revert to the old system, that cocked so well under the First Empire, by which an officer in each regiment was ap roitited to purchase food and provide for the r. ants of the men. General Troelin to the Parisians. GiMeral Trochu issued the following procla inaLion to the--Parisian: .asitis, Auu.l s, 1870.--I(d(ut , ittoits c•fr PariA : In the peril in which the country now stands I arn appointed Governor of the capital and Commander-in-Chief of the forces charged to _defend thet city under-martial-law..

It will be the honor of my life and the brilliant crowning point of a career which has remained hitherto unknown to most of you. I have the most entire faith in the success of our glorious enterprise, but it is on one condition of an imperious and absolute charadter, without which our common efibrts would be struck with impuissance—l mean good order ; and I understand by that not only the tranquillity of the street, but that of your homes and your minds; the deference for the orders of a responsible authority; the resignation in presence of the trials insepar able to the situation; lastly, the graVe and col lected security of a great military nation, which takes in hand with a firm resolution in solemn circumstances the conduct of its destinies. And I am unwilling,ln order to insure to the situation this so desirable an equilibrium, to have recourse to the powers which I hold from the state of siege and the law : I shall ask it from your patriotism; I shall obtain it from your confidence in myself, showing to the population of Paris a confidence without limi us. 7 •-I•lnake- tin 'appeal- to- ',all 'men; • to - all " parties; ; myself belonging, as is known in the army, to- no other party than that bf the -country; I" call on their devotedness; I ask them to restrain, by their moral authority, the ardent spirits that cannot bridle themselves, and to inflict chas .fisement with Aheir _oWn_bands. oa-thoseWlio are of no party, and who only see in public misfortune an opportunity for satisfying their detestable appetites.

Vow Rine:Mahon Rides in Actin —Light a Cigar Ailernitrds. . . The end of the battle of Woeith is thus de scribed by a correspondent:. In front of those battalions which had escaped massacre and the shame of surrender ing en masse, Wore tilosse decimated reclivents, rose MacMahon, holding his sword by the blade and brandishing itlike a club. He wildly spurred a large black charger covered with foam, the third he had mounted. His uniform was torn to rags, his cravat had been carried away, his shirt was open, exposing his breast. This man was superb. He forced his great Hack charger into the circle of lire through which he toad just broken. The chasseurs came back with loosened rein ; they passed and repassed several times through the ene my's lives, which they overthrew and sabred. The.oflieers took the big black charger 'by the bridle, the soldiers cried " rive MacDfa bon !" and the Marshal, standing up in his stirrups l took in at a glance the field of battle, lit a cigar and organized his admirable retreat. At seven o'clock we were in a capital position, but MacMahon had returned to the front along the valley where the Pruesian army, quite ex 4bausted, was unable to pursue its march. This man, who from dawn had been in the, saddle, and who Mid been tighthig for thirteen hours and had seen all his:orderlies . fall; lit . another cigar, dis Mounted and 'passed , three hours in. helping the hospital men to, attend ,to .the Blaenahon's Address to His Soldiers. Marshal MacMahon published the follow ng_order of- the- day, -which,- as--the- I" re uch papers give it, has no date either ae to time or place :-- SOLD —On August 6th fortune betrayed your courage; but you only lost your position after heroic resistance which lasted nine hours. You were but 35;000 against 160,000, and you were overwhelmed by, umbers. Under such , circumstances a defeat, . is .!glorious and history- say that at the battle of Froschweiler the French displayed the greatest valor. You met with great losses, but those of ' the enemy were considerable. If you were not pursued, the reason is that you did great misc - bief to the foe. The Emperor is pleased with you, and the whole country is grateful to you for having worthily sustained the honor of the flag. We have gone through severe trials, which we must try to forget. The first Corps will be reorganized, and by the help of. Go will soon take a brilliant revenge. The Marshal commanding the First corps d' cam Mil! M A froli. The Paris Monitevr contains the following on M twig alien : In those telegrams, laconic as they are, we find one brilliant individuality, one splendid military figure, a true soldier—we knew him before, at Malakoff and Magenta. This man —this soldier, this lion, who combats at the frontier—is MacMahon. From the despatches we found that be fought against several Prussian armies. It is not man against man, but one against ten. He fought not during an hour or a day,-but from the 3d to the 6th, in a foreign country,full with enemies. He was al most surrounded, it, appears, several times.. Ile attacked those masses of - troops, - whose= fallen 'ranks were filled up at once. He fought, he resisted, be withstood the shock ; there was no disorder in his army. It is grand— solemn—epic i—and the glory. of. French arms will receive new lustre from this Homeric struggle. Napoleon's Escape from Capture. [From the (Dublin) Time., Miguel 2.0.1 - Itis now no secret that in the course of Sunday last the Prusslans on hearing that the Emperor had left Metz on his way, as it was understood, to Chalons, made a dash in the hope of capturing his,Majesty. It was about half-past three when the Emperor proceeded from Metz to Longueville, , where he put up at the house of Colonel Henoegn,Abiastaff camping on - thelawn. Always capitally in-,. formed; the - Prussians took it into their heads to carry , ofl his Imperial Majesty. Hiding themselves during the night in the little thickets round the Chateau Frescati and the neighboring farms, they sent a squadron of titans across' the railroad, while they opened fire on the village of Moulins, situated to the left of Longueville, in order to intercept all aid. Fortunately for the Emperor the French engineers . blewup the railway bridge under this fire, and the U hlans being cut off, i.nd finding a strong force at Longueville, stir endered. The next night the Emperor passed at Gravelotte in the house of a farmer named Plaisant. Saturday, four A.-M., he got into an open chaise with the Prince Imperial and - drove away, taking-the-valley the most ettiete— rom the Moselle. As the Prussian gunners were already getting in motion it was found necessary to protect the - road with the grena diers of the guard and three regiments of cavalry. pasSed—tlarough--Conflatis;- -- breakfasted at Etain and entered Verdun without further molestation. At this moment Marshal Bazaine was engaged in checking . the armies of Prince Frederick Charles and Marshal Steinmetz. A stall' officer galloped. into Verdun with the news of the result, -but the Emperor badjrist - left _for Chalons, with. the Prince Imperial-, and hardly any escort. At the station he asked for a train. Sire," yahl the station=master, have nothing to offer von but a third-class carriage." "I will -content myself, with that," replied the Em peror, who took his seat on the hard board, refusing.a cushion from his carriage. He asked for a glass of, wine, and the sta tion -master washed out the glass he had just used at breakfast and gave the Emperor a drink. The-Prince Imperial, who was , grtatly fa tigued, demanded to wash his hands and face, and perforated his ablutions in the station waster's glass, using his pocket-handkerchief for a_towel. On the morning of the 11th the Emperor ..reacheci_Chalons,and-there-are-di vers-reportsr— abroad as to the reception he met with in the vamp. Some of the evening papers say he has retired to Rheims, and such is the case. The Garde Mobile is said to have flung at him such epithets as "Assassin," &c. 'the 44 Croattinrc Catastrophe" of Napo leon. IFrom the Pall Mail Gazette of August 20. l Wednesday, the 17th instant, the two armies seem to have taken breath, but on Thursday any hopes that Bazaine might still have enter tained of making good his retreat were totally stricken down. The Prussians attacked him on that morning, and after nine hours' fight ing, "the French army was completely de feated, cut oft from his communications with Paris, and driven back towards Metz." On that evening or on the following day, the army of the Rhine must have re entered the fortress it had left at the begin ning of the week. Once cooped un there it will be easy for the Germans to cut off all sup plies; the more so as the country is already thoroughly drained of everything by the pro longed, presence of the troops, and as the in ve.sting.armv is sure to require for its own use everything that can be got 'together. Thus famine must compel - 13aattine - to Move': but in what direction it is difficult to tell. A. move to the west is sure to he resisted by over whelming forces ; one to the north is extremely dangerous ; one to the southeast might per haps partially succeed, but it would be wholly barren of immediate results. , Even if lie reached Befort or Besancon with a disorgan ized army, he could not exercise any 1 appreciable influence upon the fate of the campaign. This is the situation to which hesitation in the second phase ofthe Campaign has brought the French army. No doubt it is accurately known to the goy eminent in Paris. The recall of the Mobile Guard from Chalons to Paris proves it. From the _moment -.l3azaine 7 s , main' forces - are' - mit' off the poiition of Chalons, which was a mere place of rendezvous, and nothing else, has lost all importance. The near est place of rendezvous now for all forces is Paris, and thither everything must now move. There is no force whatever which could oppose in the field the Third German army, now probably moving upon the capital. Before long the French will find out by a practical trial whether or not the fortifications of Paris are worth their cost. Though this crowning catastrophe has been impending for days it is hardly possible as yet to realize that it has actually come to pass. No expectations went tho length of this reality. A fortnight ago Ehglishinen were speculating on the possible consequences of the French winning the first great battle. The danger to u hid/ their fears most pointed was that Na poleon 111. might make such an initial success the occasion of a hasty peace at the expense of Belgium. Upon this point they were speedily reassured. The•hattles of \Voerth and For bad' showed that no theatrical triumph :ti as in store for the French arms. A Sombre Side of Parisian Life. I Purls ( Aug. 18) Correspondence of the Daily. Nevrs.l But there is. another and more affecting side to the life of this sorrow-stricken city. The mothers, the sisters, the wives, the affianced, of the gallant zoung spirits who have donned their uniforms and marched so blithely to the battle, how de those bear up in their day. of heavy trial?

There were lighted candles and pic tures, an officiating priest in vestments, .and glittering altar ornaments, and votive offer ings. But you hardly see these.

He thou went 'to the Agency, a mile south of here, and demanded the captives at. once unconditionally - and without -ransom: The Indians gave them up.. The Quaker agent -subsequently paid "5100 - apiece - For them. Sev= oral days ago Kicking Bird and a delegation of - these Kiow a.s came into the pust with twenty- - three mules which had been stolen from here by their band. They had a council' at the Agency, and demanded $l,OOO for each of the captives. and on being told by Gen: Grierson that nu ransom would be paid at all, they be came exasperated, loaded their carbinos,strung their bows, and told him that they would come 'some time and carry him off. The Quaker agent told them - to - go back - to their camp and return with all their captives and people, and he would pay them something for the captives, but how much he could not tell. Before leaving, the tallans placed - White Home, candidate for chieftainship, in front of the council, and said ro Gen. Grierson - and - the A - geut7 - "This is the great brave that lately stole the seventy mules right from under your noses, and scalped the three men near this post, and shot into the cat tle herd, and had your soldiers wild and run ning all over the country to catch him.

Some of the officers decline to subscribe, declaring that if the Indian agent is so far responsible tor them as to pay ransom-money for their de ill.cry he or the bureau he represents is re sponsible for their losses pecumarily,and must make them good. The family will start for Peoria iu a few days. A few days before their capture all the other thmilies at Henrietta had taken the warning given by some of the Sixth Cavalry and removed to Montague, twenty, miles south of there. At daylight, without warning, about ono hundred kiowas, having Mel erill captives, suddenly ' appeared before the douse while the inmates were dressing, they haying just risen ; the oldest daughter, sel enteen years of age, was the first to see them ; she ran into the house front the doorway where she was standing, and Mr. Kooger, seeing :the large number, knew at once that a massacre of his entire family would follow any resistance shown, 'and thinking to conciliate, he advanced fearlessly and with a hearty "How, how," extended his hand to shake! with them.

He also discovered that from the time Ryan left Manhattanville he had made ita practice to call at the : houses of the principal residents in each place hp:pasSed through: and ask litho. -" gentleman" was .in, and if be received an affirmative -- answer he would make some rambling story as to his poverty and ill-success in life, in order to obtain money ; but where' ver be was informed that the ' gentleman " was out, he demanded money in a manner --that would leave little doubt in the minds of bis hearers that -he made his demand -having in view another alternative, namely, that if it was not given him he should take it, or what ever else was near to hand, for: himself. It would appear that from the time he left Mau hattanville he had supported himself by this system of acquisition.- -. When an e-Aetl. in Harlem he was asked what business he had worked at lately, and he replied, "at Mr. Chapman's saw-mills, in .Pennsylvania;" but lie bad -left, there - because. Chapman had refused to pay him his wages, for some ealise which the prisoner would net explain. As he t was being taken in a- ear through the tunnel in the Fourth avenue, he _triefLia_throw himself out, and-said that he _would destroy himselfrather-thati-"-confess" This latter remark excited the officer's sus picion that there was more in the case than' first met the eye, and when - the 'officer re -peat-ea to him the contents of the valise, he exclaimed eagerly, "Did the keys you found on me fit the bag?" The officerirenhed that they-Were evidently .the keys-belonging to it, -as- they opened it exactly. The officer then mentioned particularly the Blood !Stains on Me Coat, 'upon which the prisouel- cursed vebeineritlY and said, " That d—d duster will- hang me." When the name of 'Mr. Nathan was men tioned the prisoner became greatly agitated, and said again : " No ;1 will'die before i kill confcss.".... Be asked the 011icer if hi - , was friendly in towarddined him, and if he would. "stand by Lam," and, on rec&l ring the assurance that such would be the case, Le again questioned anxiously : "Did the keys fit the valise? if so I am a doomed man," or words to that effect. While in a eell - artim Mice Headquarters a photograph of Mr. Nathan's house was placed hefore him, which he appeared to recognize at once, and remained looking at it for some time with his head resting on both hands in such an attentive manner that the officer felt convinced it Was not the first time he had seen the place, and he again urged shim to tell-what he knew of Mr. Nathan's !Murder, but with the same result—that he " would not, confess anything." When taken before Justice McQuade at the Harlem Police Court !dm Lord stated that Ryan, whom she recognized in the court, came to her hone in Manhattan ti ille on Wednesday afternoon last, at about 4 clock;'and a. , ked if the " gentleman" was at home, but on being told he was not he com menced asking for money in a threatening at titude, and made such a disturbance that they \ ere compelled to give him a trilling sum to get rid of him. On leaving the house he-asked it here was a dog in the yard. Justice McQuade was impressed with the idea that it Ryan was not the actual perpe trator of the murder of Mr. Nathan the ap pearance of the prisoner when questioned about, it, alaillVlteri confronted with.tbe-bloody coat, &c., warranted him in supposing, that he Knew Something About It, and with this view he has instructed Conklin to make the most minute investigations con cerning him, during which time the prisoner is to be held in jail.
