CORRESPONDENCE. NOTES OF A TRIP TO AND UPON THE LAKE SUPERIOR AND MIN.NE SOTA RAILROAD. ihouttict at Duluth to the American Press. on Occasion of the Fortnall Opening of the Road. Special Cerreglendence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] C.L.A.Tai MUSE, Duvuur, - Miun.;*og. 24th, 1870.—After inspecting the important Canal at Sault Sainte-Marie, the • party invited by Mr. Jay Cooke examined several points of great in terest to themselves; but of no special bearing upon the real objeet of the expedition rintil they made the end of Lake Superior and the port of Duluth, which they did on Friday, Au_ gust 19th, with safety and comfort to: all their fifty-tiVe members. The city of a year, built by the Aladdin-lamp of gold, received their attention during the days of Saturday, Sunday and Monday. On the latter evening arrived a party of three hun dred representative men of Saint Paul, who are now our guests at this hotel and at tke hospitable homes of Duluth. The combined • excursionists from St. Paul and froin•Philadel phia'will unite to-day in the trip to the other terminus, which will constitute the ceremonial .opening oldie lihe. Last night—and this morning—was held a banquet to the representatives of the press, be ginning at half-past ten, with a hundred guests, and ending at two, with-about three-fourths:Of that number. It Was held in the long dining room of the Clark House, whose perspective of pillars was decorated with evergreens for the occasion ; and it 'proceeded to the. distant 3nusie of waltzes and cotillions, half-beard from the parlor crammed with couvivialists. The evening was altogether a gala one, and an amusing private representation of John Brougham's Pocahontas occurred iu advance of the ball, in which Mr. Jay Cooke's accom ,.plished.daughter, successfqlly took -tlie:place' 2 OF - the •orelrestra l :While • her.-husband enacted the best - comic - role, and Mr. Robert son, 'of the New 1 - 41 Times, was stage man ager and Big Indian. ,Mr. Ringwalt, of the Washington Chronicle, after washing off the rouge from his arduous part in the farce, at tended and stenographed the Press banquet, of which lam about to give some account. My own report will be rough and hasty, but I pre fer to send it while it is fresh in memory, and unobliterated by the impressive ceremonies of the railway opening. The banquet was a representation of widely &died viands and - widely-culled men The speaking, to whOse 'distant vibration the In dians of Minnesota were stolidly listening, fully vindicated the observation Of Mr. Justin 11eCarthy, on the natural gift of expression-Of the American people atiarge. Even the oddl 7 ties of Western and Yankee dialect were the condiments of a very genuine and admirable eloquence. . After an- elaborate i supper, in--which the oysters Of Chesapeake Bay' were washed down by the vintage of the Gulf of California, peo ceedings were opened by Mr. William G. Molt.- head,- representing the house of Jay Cooke t.k, Co., rising at one end of the long tables, and nominating the Mayor of Duluth, Mr. J. P. Culver, _chairman of the assembly. ,-- _Tile latter.ealled, ppop Rev. Francis Vinton, Rector of Old Trinity in New YOrk, for a blessing, which was appropriately invoked. Mayor Culver then proposed a number of --managers-by-=name,--and.--for-Secreta.ries,--G-ok (iraves and itobert -Il...l.amborn, Esq.. Ph. I)., of Philadelphia, Secretary and Treasurer of the road. The chairman, after inviting the speakers whom he should name to confine their observations to five minutes' time, call d first upon Mr. W. G. Moorhead. This gentleman delivered some interestil. , remarks on the inception and purpose of the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad, as the transporting connection between the Gulf of Mexico and the mouth of the river St. La v rence, and picturesquely styled the iron couplet as the marriage rint uniting New Orleans with the Great American lakes. He remark.!d that a barrel of flour may now be floated from Duluth to Europe cheaply as from Pim burgh, though Pittsbrah lies a thousand miles Dearer. The canal ( f Sault Sainte-Marie, he observed, must be deepened for vessels of 2,7,:ar and ;:1,000 tons' burden, and the dockage of e..!r tain lake ports made more commodious ; and - promised that men of - Washington - and - Phila- - delphia now at this banquet are to be held responsible that these improve ments shall soon be made.. No point to-day, he said, in Europe, Africa or America. compares in importance witinili little city where we meet. The North Piici lie Railroad may be considered a fixed fact. Since 1 am in Duluth, 1 receive news from Loudon that the means will assuredly be provided; two yews ago no railroad from St. Paul to Duluth existed ; in a very feW years communication w Be male to POget SOUnd: Sofa: pace diiiibt;!d" that Duluth will be the eastern terminus of the North Pacific Railroad. Lately I am assured this doubt has been removed. and Duluth will be the terminus. Examination has proved that as good a harbor as, if not the best of, any of the Lake Darbors can be made here. The money . most of it, is in the hands of Jay Cooke & to build the Pacific road; 4.000 tons of rails Lace already arrived at Duluth; while at the Western end arrangements are making to put it under contract, and 30 or 40 miles will be made id two 'or three months, Mr. argeanL,,of Du luth, is laboring in Europe in your interest now. Senator Ramsey, of Minnesota, being next called on, in a manner full of bonhowie and liveliness, gave a description of the carrying through, politically, of the enterprise, on a Congressional grant, bitterly opposed by Sena tors Doolittle . and llowe, of Wisconsin, acting in the interest of the neighboring city of Su perior. (;ov. Marshall, of Minnesota, recited -that twenty-two years . ago ho made a 'tedious and: toilsOme.journey . of ten days from Saint 'Paul to the site of Duluth, partly with pack on 'nick .and partly by canoe. Then there were not a thousand inhabitants of Etu'opean descent in lfinnesota, • Twenty years hence, and twice three millions live in the State. We are Etealing,; said the (governor, from New York the mouth of her Hudson,. her Atlantic port SOY Duluth is a port of ptropean transporta , • • . • • • The clairman next called on lion. Ir. Carroll 33rewster, Attorney-Oeneral of Pennsylvania This gentleman, in his own inimitable manner, commenced with smile persiflage conceliung the five-minute law of the evening, modestly remarking that though brevity was said .to be flip . soul of wit, he feared the axiom would not now find its illustration.. The restriction:re minded hint of the story of a Ilamsel Wbo!told her lover he must court • her in five minutes, "ftir there was a loose suitor waiting in:, the next room." Alluding to the capitalists who' had createdthe road and its - harbor-terniinus, Mr. Brewster said that they were more truly great than the butchers who within a fortnight had sacrificed 40,000 lives in Europe. Great applause accompanied the speech. The . Press was iw toasted by Mr. Felton as the power moving thrones and the world. Captain W. W. Nevin, of the Philadelphia Press, responded, but. was too modest to ac cept for his professirm this credit. Any pro fession on earth, be proved, must yield in in, iluence to railroadtng. What Jason's quest was' in antiquity, what Columbus's dream was at the close of the dark ages, such is railway penetration to-day. The Captain gracefully thanked the Mayor and citizens of Duluth for their reception of the representatives of the press. To the capitalists he said : We appre ciate the macnitude and heroism of your en terprise, and sympathize with your triumph to night. Our besCelibrta can hardly keep pace with your achievements. We shall never forget the panorama of storehouses, churches, steamers,. locomotives and grain elevators .whiehlorped • .the'_proapect... from the deck' .of the Winslow as we advanced through your:un surpassed bay. - Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, a Philadelphian by birth, and an ex-member of Congress from Min- nesota,rose hoarse from almost incessant stump addresses since his arrival in Duluth with the company from St. Paul, and responded to some of the ideas advanced by. Captain Nevin. Once, he then observed, a Western man was said to be'but a Yankee, broadened; but now the. Westerners were jound .as reaching and 'gentronsdn.their'vieWs as any the-iiiterior of the Continent. Philadelphia; he promised, could not too highly estimate the future of the State of his adoption. By a bold suppo sition, he declared that had the Pilgrim Fathers originally found the Gulf of Mexico instead of the coast of New England, some capitalist of Minnesota might now be projecting a railroad over the rocks of Massachusetts to the settle ment of Boston. Mr. Donnelly is an accus-. tomed and unembarrassable speaker, and in terrupted his " flow" with the utmost good nature to say, that "Judge McKelvy was wanted at the door. ' Mr. James Smith, Jr., of St. Paul, a western_ looking man with an iron -gray and narrow head, rose amid much applause, and delivered himself in the occideut4dialect,, crowd in the street.-happened to be singing " Our country, 'tis of thee." He observed that cheap transport was a benefit to the people. even if capitalists derived no profit. The op ponents of great Measures, he remarked; " never air govel ned.hy their real interests." " There is only one part of this entertainment," said he-in conclusion, "to which I- ank equal, and that (emptying his glass) is that. (ken. J. K. Moorhead, of Pittsburgh, next stood at the opposite end of the table to that from which his brother had opened the cere monies; and deli vem d_ some .• capital- remarks ; interrupted by quizzical asides from his neigh bor, Hon. Mr. Aldridge, who spoke next. Mr. Moorhead, recognizing the ladies who were - OM - fig - 1W t dresses — through - the - door Way, addressed the " Mayor, Ladies and Gen tlemen." He said this navigation scheme was " very smooth sledding." Ile called it the arm of the Atlantic, which "pokes itself up from the St. Lawrence to grasp the treasurers, of the West." He said the anticipated future of Duluth had been compared to Chicago. "Now, said the speaker. with quiet emphasis, " I don't want to be extravagant, but you might have said London. As for you Duluthians, you must exert yourselves to get emigration ; delve into your own hills and make your own iron. You'll want to consume a great deal of your grain at home." Ile spoke of his excursion yesterday to Thompion. "I don't know that I ever saw better, bolder, more magnificent en gineering than cutting through and climbing those knobs of the Dalles." Ile complimented the engineers, Messrs. Hungerford and G. A. Johnson, who had built the Lake Superior and Mississippi road. The 'General noW litirirefouSly appealed 'to his neighbor, Hon. Mr. Aldridge. Thaddeus Stevens, he recollected,once in Congress moved that the gentleman known as "Old Red River of the North" get up and make a speech about it : but it was late in the season, and the session, and the hammer of the Speaker inter rupted the oration. A year after . Stevens moved that the rept eselitative from Minnesota finish his speech ; but other things were thought to be of more importance. Now the impor tance.of the Bed Rivet was acknowledged. M. Aldridge, a 61)e:dim. of dry humor, got up so confused by these personalities that lie called Pennsylvania Petinsyltucky, and created much laughter. But 14e more pointedly called Minneapolis the "Seat of Destiny." His re marks ran in this wise : You seem to think this railroad a great thing. We will build a railroad to the North Pole if you gems of Penti*lNLania will furnish the money. We don't dress well, but we can build railroads. When we can't furnish the money we go to Congress. We will go on to\ the Saskat2bewan. Now. Pm talking to you, and Pm talking sense. Why, this is a great country ! We are great people here and we are going ahead r!r",. W. L. Ilan. of St. Paul, followed with some remarks well thought out. Aaron Goodrich, of St. Paul, was called for, but was absent. Ex-Governor Willis A. ( lorman, 'of St. Paul followed with some observations. Hon. T. J. Robertson, an old (loyal) Senatou from South Carolina, of ow' party, a game and jolly American,spoke thus :I love my Statebut fellow-citizens,l love my country more than all ; and, ladies and gentlemen, the proudest day of my life was the day when the Southern Confederacy ceased. As for me, 1 escaped conscription by bribing draft-officers and sicians, and finally by ,4 railroad redemption"— , dodging behind a railroad-bank. lre gave some pertinent advice tO the people of Duluth. Don't flatter yourselves that people are coming here (o you unless you make it their interest—, don't put your property up too high. He cited Washington as a place where extension had PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1870. been diverted. by the obstinacy of speculators• mistaken friend§ of the .. . South, said hei those who fought hardest against the Govern— ment, are now its best friends. Colonel J. D. Potts, President of the Em pire Transportation Co., was. caller for, lint was not present. - The next • speaker was Mr. H. C„ Mitchell, editor of the Duluth Tribune, who made some pleasant remarks of welcome. - - The next, Mr. - P. R. DelanO; - noW :Congres sional candidate, was a perfect:picture •of the Yankee as portrayed in our comic papers. He made a shrewd speech, in a comical, half-put on Yankee dialect: "I yaint yerd anything yet about the 'Star of Empire.' Now; I was born in New England, but at an early age I be gan to follow that star. Last.suinnierl was a follerin' it up; as a' could, right Into that mas sacre country; there missed the feller, and heard that . some men had got, hold of it s and bad shot it straight up to Duluth." Such was the vernacular style of Mr. Delano. Gen. A. D. Le Due, President Hastings and Dacotah Railroad; followed: , • Judge Paxson,•of Philadelphia, next arose saying : " Other gentlemen are doubtless dying of suppressed eloquence. I feel like offering my five minutes for sale. I am not a railroad king like my friend Mr. Hinckley. Nor even am I a financial king like myliandsome - friend Mr. Clark." He alluded finally to Mr. Jay Cooke as a gentleman to whom we are as . much indebted for the fact that we are now a people with. a Congress,-as .we to the tingaslied Chieftain who at present fills' the Presidential chair. The.whimsical alltision .of Mr., Delano was now taken up in another strain by Rev. Francis Vinton, of Trinity 'Church, New York,the first speaker. (" Thelast Shall be first and the first last, Doctor!"—remark . from Hon. F. C. Brewster.) Putting out his cigar, the Rev. gentleman began with: "Mr. Mayor : if I haven't made a mistake in the gender." Laughter.l The Doctor save a cu_ rions history Ofßerkeley;atithomdkVistWard. the Course of Empire- takes its - Wayi" -- asd skilfully described Leutze's picture with that title in the Capitol. " Leutze's conception of Berkeley's sentiment was an emigrant-wagon with its toiling pilgrims. Instead of . Leutze's treatment I should have selected a view of Duluth, with its railroad,,telegraph and steam boats—as Turner represented Carthage, a city of maritime commerce, by children playing with toy boats in the foreground." The Dr.'s scholarly remarks were listened to with deep attention. The penultimate speaker was Dr. 'ihomas Foster, editOr of the Duluth Afinnesotian. He proposed the health of Minnesota, calling on Hon. - IVm. L. Ban ning to respond. Mr. Banning, in__ his response, T -ohServed: There is not a point at the head of a a water system in the world that commands territory one-half as gfeat as that tributary to this port. Mr. :Banning uttered a warm sentiment of re gret at the absence , of J. - Edgar--Thomson, President of the Pennsylvania Cantral Road. In the course of his speech he said: - "I hope to have the pleasure of sending my - friend Brewster fruits of California three days earlier than he can get -them from the Pacific Railroad of the South." - My sketches give but distant conceptions of these speeches, so ..remarkable-for their -origi nality, daring and lofty prophecy. They limned in vivid outline the future of this lovely port, planted by nature at the head of the Lake Sys te'tii; and jest opposite to Itasca, the fountain of the _MisaiasippL and their varlaus_alltisio ' - spired the liveliest certainty concerning the fu ture growth of the enterprise so lavishly nour ished by the house of Mr. Cooke. The occa sion was the most imposing ever known in Minnesota, and will never be forgotten by any one participating. As 1 close the sheet, Is intended ceremony of opening the road is but a short time distant. The weather is unpleasantly rainy, with thtin der and lightning that may possibly have the redeeming effect of shortening the storm. [Correeeondence of the Philadelphia Eyeaing Belletin.) ' roTTSVILLE, August 30, 1870.—The Repub lican County Convention met yesterday at the Court House in this place, and nominated a ticket for the approaching political campaign. The delegate election, held on the Saturday previous; was marked by an unusual degree of , quiet excitement, there being a lively competi tion for certain offices. Many men voted who are seldom seen at the primary electionS, and many districts polled their entire party vote. The principal fight was for Sheriff; there being several candidates in the field, and after the election wag over, there were numerous charges of fraud, and even worse ; for in one Pottsville Ward, whose Republican vote at the last elec tion was 40, there were 1 50 ballots cast; and charges of " undue influences" having been . - brought .bear„...on.the,ele.clion officers, were: made openly and undauntedly, ,even to the shape of the inducements, which were said to consist of a glass of beer and several revolvers, in a closed room. But all this was hushed up in the Convention, and, as it happened, the vote from that Ward didn't have much effect on the majorities. There was a very perceptible ditliirence in the materiel of this Convention from that Which composed the Democratic Convention, a few wr,elis ago. Then the pavement in front of the, Democratic headquarters was thronged all day Sunday with wild Irish, drinking,smoking, swearing and quarreling ; a crowd which by night swelled until it tilled the entire street, compelling church-goers to make a wide detour or risk insult and possible injury. Free bars were open at various places, whisky flowed like Water, and the scene savored more of Pap demonium than a Christian Sabbath. The Republican Convention was held, on Monday also, but nothing on Sunday indi cated that anything unusual was transpiring. A few delegates might be seen chatting quietly on the sidewalks and on hotel porches, but so quietly that only the initiated could jell that, they were anything but ordinary -visitors. Go-. ing to the court-house, fifteen minutes before the time appointed for the opening of the Con -vention, Ifound nobody in the court-room but myself and two others. In a few minutes the bell rang and the delegates began to come in • by twos and, threes and .half-dozens,-and—in about twenty minutes D. D. Dillraan, Chairman of the County Standing Committee, called.o order a hill representation, composed, as one could see at a glance, mainly of natal gent,. thinking men, who realized the impOr- Lance of their mission, and were determined to fulfil it well. A few exceptions there were, of course - ; - a - few . wooderFheaded•l)utehineri - from districts where common schools are scarce, knowing nothing but routine farming, and a few, addle-pated Irishmen who didn't know ENFANT PE lIDU OLE POTTSVILLE LETTER that; but the main body, Dutch, Irish and Aniericaff, were of the better ela§._ • _ After Calling - the. list . of threedistrictS;e . of' Nadel] were contested, the Convention was per manently organized by • electing Capt. E. L. Severn, of Mahanoy City, President, and B. L. Eshelinani -Jacob Britton, George F.Kurtz.and John S. Boyer, Vice Presidents. The Secre taries were F. B. Wallace, J. A.Huntzinger and I. J. Burton. , • CommitteeS 'on contested seats and on reso lutions were appointed, and retired, and dui ing their absence-Lin Battholomew, Esq. was in-; vited to address the convention, which he did' 'in a stirring speech of half an hour's duration, advising his auditors to use great discretion in their 'choice of eandidateS, and select only such as were noted forprinciple, honesty and devotion to the Republican party ; and, having placed them in nomination; to go home and work for them andthe party, since politics, like everything else, depends for success'. upon. la bor and industry, and the best of principles must be brought home to the knowkledge of the people and forced upon their attention by Unremitting efforts, if we would have them adopted. Reviewing then the history of the Republican party, he claimed for it a glorious past, but insisted on its continuing in the path it has marked out to now victories and aglorious future—only to be won by efforts equal to those in the past. Then he rapidly reviewed the work now before the party. Cungress having established negro enfranchisement, re duced taxation and diminishedthe national debt, the Republican party, with Grant at its -head, must.be kept in power in order to finish and make permanent the good work so well begun. He declared Gen. Schenck's tariff bill to be the salvation of Pennsylvania, and spoke strongly in favor of funding the national debt. Defining the po.sition of the party,on thelabor qbestion, ho declared that - having 'crushed to earth the heresy that capital owned labor, it Was now the duty of the party to advance another step - and . republicanize labor; • not permitting it to override capital, but placing both on an equal footing,making a fair and impartial distribution between them of their joint -- products —" The Republican Government is based on the theory of enlightened and educated labor, and it must, therefore, protect. and sustain labor." An eloquent recognition of German -sympathies for us in our time of need, and tender of our 'sympathies. to Gerniapkin this 'her. oWir . great trial, concluded the speech,whichfreqUentli interrupted with lOud applause. Mr, 'Bartholo mew is a ready and rorcible Speaker and- never fails to command an attentive audience. He was followed by Mr. John Tomlinson, of Reilly, who eelioeoMr. Bartholomew's ideas, and gave some interesting war experiences of his own. The Convention then adjourned until after noon, when the Committee on Resolutions made its report, all the resolutions being adopted by the Convention.--.• They heartily approve and endorse- the course of the Adminis tration and of the United States Senators from Pennsylvania, of Governor Geary and Hon. H. L. Cake ; call upon - onr - Representatives - at Harrisburg to.defeat the Pine Creek Railroad " job ;" recommend the calling of a Convention to revise the State Constitution, and especially the judiciary system; quote with approbation the Tariff resolution-of-the--late National Labor CongresS in Cineinnati ; advocate a protective and permanently unchanged tariff; express sympathy with the Germanic powers, in the present struggle; charge the Democratic party with extravagance and mismanagement in: the adminiStration of county affairs,* and de- wand its total defeat at the polls; recommend the preference of soldiers to civilians in appointments, where other things are eqUal ; appoint D. It. Miller, Capt. L. C. Leib and Capt. C. N. Brumm conferees to meet the conferees. of Lebanon county, to place in nomination a candidate for Congress, and concede this year's nominee to Lebanon ; appoint Lin Bartholomew Senatorial delegate, and E: L. Severn Severn, B. U. Eshelman and W. 11. Levan liepresentative delegates to the next Republican Convention, and "unani mously condemn the actiorrof the Senater and Representatives from Schuylkill county, in per mitting the removal of the shipments and lrarves - from Schnylkill•—county;-thereby—de predating the value of the property of our citi zens, and the loss or labor to many of our best men, and as otherwise detrimental to the inte rests of Schuylkill county." Somewhat mud dled, but it has reference to the proposed ac tion of the Heading Railroad, making Ham burg, in Barks county, the shipping point of the Schuylkill Canal.. ''' In accordance with — the resolution, no candi date for Congress was nominated. For State Senator, Thos. C. Zulick, of Schuylkill Haven, and Daniel D. I)illman, of Pottsville, each received 71 votes on the first ballot, and a second ballot being ordered Mr. Zulick received a rnajdrity of nine, and was de clared the nominee. All the other nominations were made on the first ballot, being : For Asserbly—F. E. Stees, of Pinegrove; W. Ramsey Potts, of Pottsville, and Wm.ll.'Wenrich, of Mahanoy City. For Sheriff—Charles W. Pitman, of Pottsville. Yor County Commissioner—Geo. Stahl, of St. Clair. For Director of the Poor—Wm. -Shoe4er, of Schuylkill, For Jury-Commissioner —Samuel Garret, of Pottsville. For Auditor— Wm. L. Stellwagon, of Palo Alto. The County Standing Committee—A. B. Cochran, of Pottsville, Chairman--was then appointed, after which the convention ad journed.

Lomiox, August :30.—1t was reported . severaldays..ago that Prince-Frederick Charles would return and go in pursuit of MacMahon, and this report seems to be gaining strength. It is supposed that the Prince has been thus.led to depart from the original plan of operations because his line of communications would be edoiusly angere.d_wiilasolarge_an_ artuF—in - Ids rear. The 4th Army is now scouring the eastern departments in order to prevent communica tion between Macllahon and Bazaine. Army correspondents in France are faring badly. Austin, of the London Times, is im prisoned at Rheims ; hall, of the Graphic, is imprisoned at Nancy ; and Holdsworth, of the .Netr., has been escorted back to Paris under guard. LONDON, Aug. A.--:[Special to the New York Tribune.]—Our correspondent writes from Mezieres on August 2Sth : I left Bethel yesterday morning, and was . a whole day on the road. On arriving I found no troops here beside the garrison ; but the Prince Imperial arrived during the day with an escort of cent guards. The Emperor slept at Tourteron night before last, and started yesterday for La Chesne, sending the Prince here at the same time. This morning the Prince and his escort started at half-past 2 o'clock for a secret desti .nationothich. is , Sedan, which proves that the' enemy have not, as re potted, cut the railway between - Mezleres and Sedan. The Prince goes by the common road, indeed, hut he would not be sent forward unless the neighborhood was clear of ,the enemy. We start to-morrow for Moutmecly, via, Sedan..., .To,day there arrived several. bun-. dred artillery horses and some guns from Vincennes.for.the ramparts here. . It is said that 3LacMcilnin does not mean to fight for some days. The National Guard here under arms arc in uniforms forty years old, and are wholly undrilled, but are ready to fight. The Garde Mobile baye.ne:uniforins all, but, Riele'Stildier4ilie. The persecution ; of corre spondents continues; and all . have' been ex pelled from Rethel on'whom the authorities could lay hands. Our correspondent writes from Paris Au gust 29: More than 50,000 - people have moved into Paris from the suburbs alone since Saturday night, and the confuSion is endless. The oc trot duties are no longer levied, it being a sheer impossibility to do so. There are still 40,000 Gerntans here, of whotn Gen. Trochu's last order reaches 30,000 in the suburbs of La Villette and Belleville alone.. Provisions for the siege arrive iu enormous quantities, and private families are supplying their own stores. The grocers' shops are surrounded by pur chasers, and entrance is regulated by the po lice. The government invites farmers to bring all supplies to Paris, promising fair prices- fol' the same. • . PArus, August 30 .—Measures have been ta ken to blow up the bridges and tear up the railways around Paris -promptly on the ap-, proaeh or the enemy. It is understood that the diplomatic corps, in case the city is, besieged, will go to Tours, which, owing to their presence, will be consid ered neutral, and will be respected As such by the belligerents. • , - The Corps Legi.slatij' .yesterday voted that the urgency of the situation demanded two importanttneasitres: fOrniation of battalions from the - ; ,'Natlonale, home guards, and firemen of - each- , department, who Shall be, lightly equipped, and 'especially de signed to hang upon the march of the enemy, attacking him at every oppertunity. , Second It was for the government to take at prices agreed ott all arms--manufactured in France, eitherfrom foreigu..or.private,parties. and- now : ready foiuse. The Committee of Defence tueet twice tialy, and its IncitStlLTS and orders are proitultly executed Tll E WAR. It is positively reported that Palikao, announce this week to the Chambers that Ma woik of preparing Paris for a siege Is aml pleted. The bombardment of Strasbourg is becom ing very severe, and., much damage _has been done in the city. A private party who had purchased 300,90() old muskets from the government has returned them, and they will be distributed at once. , The National Guard, armed with these, guns, are daily drilling under experienced officers, and they are certain to make 'a good stand against an assault. The halt of the Prussians in their move on Paris gives time for the ar rival of enormous reinforcements, ,now on the way from the provinces,' and the capture of this city is considered impossible now. - Advic,es received from all parts of the pro \laces invaded show' that the sharpshooters are becoming very efficient, and capture numbers of Prussian scouts and stragglers, and repel at tacks on, towns and villages. The presence of the sharpshooters and Garde Mobile encourages the country people, who now put on' a bolder front. In some cases they have attacked, kill ing and wounding quite a number, and at many places they resist the exactions befoie tamely submitted to. Should the Prussians be defeated their re treating columns will be terribly harassed by these irregular forces, who even now hang upon the enemy's line of march and inflict daily losses. Engineers are tearing down buildings in the environs of Paris to give an unobstructed range to guns ofthe fortifications. LoNno:s:, August 30.-----[Special to New York 11Pratt,1.]—A Copenhagen despatch of to-day says that the French iron-clads Arnaidelndßo chanabeau anchored this morning. off- Ereder ickshaven, Jutland, •and an attack on the Baltic fortresses is expected immediately. LoNnoN, August 30.—A Brussels despatch of to-day says that McMahon is about to make a desperate effort to force his way from Sedan along the line of Montmedy and l'hionville Railroad, with the object of attacking from the north whatever Prussian force may be gathered in the triangle formed by the fortiesses of Metz, Verdun, and Toni, regardless of theirnumbers. le hopes to have co-operation at . all those places. The attempt is a bold and'despemte one, as there is no escape from destrUction -in case of defeat. 'lt is believed that the Emperor and his son will await the result of this movement at Se dan, and be ready to cross at Bonillers into L'elgium in the event of defeat. LONDON, August 30.—[Special to the New York Trzbirne.]—Our correspondent at the headquarters'of the. Crown Prince, at Ligny, near Bar-le-Due, writes on August-24 as fol lows : "This is - a great day in the campaign of the 3d Army. The King, Moltke and Bis marck have arrived, and the streets have been choked with_ Bavarian_ troops from -morning until late this afternoon. The_ word For ward to Paris.' Infantry, cavalry, artillery, wagon trains, and everything, move ceaselessly forward. • - The - troops excelleitt''dinidl tion." The same correspondent adds a sen tence showing that the Prussians knew a week since of the last French movement. The Emperor is reported to have gone from Cha lons to Rhenisud _some think try to return and march to the northward of the Germans, to rescue the troops at Metz. • " No news has been received at Verdun of the great battle reportedto have been fought. MatiyPrussians are around )ionzon, Dun and Stenay. Reports of cannon - and - musketry' wer eheard on Sunday in that direction., and - au engageinent is believed - to have taken place - near Busancy. Five hundred Prussians at tacked the railway station -at-Chauveucy,wlrith was guarded by fifty _French soldiers.- The fight lasted one Lour, during which time seven were killed and rive wounded. The Prussians took twenty-eight prisoners, and burned the station. Ang. despitch, just received from Mundelsheirn, reports that the first parallel was opened yesterday by the South German besieging force : ,-. at-seven -hundred paces from the-walls of Strasbourg, -and a-bat, tery of forty-two heavy guns opened on the city. The besiezed made no reply from the walls or citadel. . • But. - :ism.s, August 30.—Belgian troops are hastening to the frontier from all quarters. A great battle betiveen the French and Prussians is apparently imminent, and the services of Belgian troops will no doubt •he necessary to protect the country from invasion., . LoNnoN,August 30.—An Antwerp despatch says the evident increase of bitterness with which France and Gertnany condlict the war is deplored there, as it postpones hope of peace, and meanwhile depression in all branches of trade and commerce continues. Two of the leaders in the recent riotous af fair of La Villette appeared before the Council of War to-day, and confessed to the attack on the barracks, and that they attempted to' el cite the people to rise in open revolt. Two others, accused of having ,in their possession stores of arms, also appeared at the trial. One of them, named Blanqui, was mentioned, and it appeared that he was here at the time of the riot and lodged with one of -the active partici-• pants. The trial is still to progress. CARISIWITE, Aug. SO.—The Gatette'of this city has the following : Last evening the bishop of Strasbourg.actuated by a desire to stop the effusion of blood, un dertook to bring about some sort of a truce or mediation. With this view he went to Shiel iugheim and bad an interview with Major Lee zinsky, chief of the Prussian staff. He urged that the bombardment was contrary to the laws of humanity and modern warfare. The in habitants had been denied leave to withdraw froni the city. The bishop obtained a twenty four houre'cessation of the . 'bombardment, in order to., give.the.. n . overnor,.of Strasbourg;au opirtunity to negotiate. The governor was accordingly invited to come out and examine. the preparations whichhiad been macre by the Prussians for continuing the siege. As Major Leczinsky escorted the bishop back to Stras bourg his flag of truce was riddled with bullets. The bombardment continues with guns of the largest calibre, and the surrender of the city is merely a matter of time. Bomm - , August 30th.—[Special to the N. Y. Ileraid.]—A special despatch from Ber lio,.dated to-day,says that Austria is secretly arming. All officers and soldiers now on fur lough have been recalled, and other warlike preparations are made. The object of this pol- , icy is unknown. VIENNA, Aug. 30.—There is no truth in the runiorS.that Austria is forming an army in Si lesia. pAtas, Aug. 30.—Much confusion has been created here by the forced departure of a large number of Germans. The jonrnals, however, felicitate the government upon the measure, which will insure the retreat of many enemies of the country. Parisians of all ranks have been enrolled for the defence of the city.
