THE WAR IN EUROPE
THE BATTLE Of WOERTH.
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

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.

In those telegrams, laconic as they are, we

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.

But there is. another and more affecting side
to the life of this sorrow-stricken city. The

their uniforms and marched so blithely to the
battle, how de those bear up in their day. of

The Chicago Republican contains the fol
lowing letter:
FORT SILL Indian Territory, August 20.
" Kicking " Little Heart," " Satanta,"
"Satanc. "Timbered" 'Mouiithin,'"‘ Lone
' Wolf." with nearly all of the Kiowa braves
and their families and lodges and ponies, Scc.,
arrived here on, the 18th. They brought in
- M - rs:Koogerandilter - fire" Children, captured
at Henrietta, Texas, on the Little Witchita,
last July, a special despatch in regard _to
which was sent you at the time. They de
mandell apiece for these captives. - After
-they brought-them--in--General -Grierson or
-tiered all the - cavalry to saddle, Dilly aria
and co nip, and quietly hold themselves in
readiness at their stables - for instant
action. 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. We
u-unt you to make - a chief of hint jor these great
i/(;((es. He is the man who captured the wo
luau and children, and killed Mr. Kooger, in
T,-xas, &c., anti he was the greatest brave in
the fight with the Sixth Cavalry in June and
.1 uly, and has killed many Texans, and
horned many houses, and laid waste much
ground—make him a Mows chief"'
e6terday, I saw this red fiend lay his loaded
carbine on the counter at the sutler's store,
and exultingly count the hundred or more
dollars' worth of sutler's checks which the or
der of the,, Indian Agent was procuring for
I i tn. He 'Was "jabbering away" to a group
of hideously painted devils, and buying tine
double three-point blankets, and other valua-
Me-goods with the reward his conduct had ob
tained for-him from the Indian Agent.
This is no fancy sketch, but the honest truth .'
The savages -armed with breech-loading re
peaters (Spencer and Henry carbines)—who
crowded the sutler's store and were buying, ar

tenth" the IPrlsouer's Alarm
at the Discovery...ls He " Pleryinic" for
Notoriety.?
The New York llerald says :
On Friday last a police officer named Sydney
Conklin was sent to the house of Mr. J. Lord,
136th street and Broadway. Manhattanville,
whoa; house had been broken open.at two
o'cloCk on the Morning of the previintsday by
a burglar.
When he went to , the house he found that
nothing had been taken away, as the 'burglar
was disturbed in his operations by Mrs. Lord,
who, hearing a noise. had given an alarm; and
the discomfitted thief took his departure, not,
however, without leaving on the premises
some important" testimony in the shape of a
valise or courier-bag, which was found to con
tai,n.a. burglar's brace, a bit, a --green-alianthus
club and a linen coat, or duster. The goat bore
:on, the , leff . Ver..-the : print-of: a man's 'sand°an
blood, and had besides other marks of blood on
the breast, both of which had been attempted
to be washed out, hut without silecess.
The : orb cer,had at first only.the.print of-the
man's foot to guide him as to who the would
be burglar and owner of the before - named
property was,' and upon this clue (as reported
in yesterday's Herald) be traced and arrested
a man named Michael Ryan - front Manhat
tanville to Carmansville, Fleetwood Track,
Tremont, Morrisania, Melrose, Mott Haven
and to Harlem.
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.
