Tffflw to tli© Clmiinel—Channels,
Bridges and ferries.
(From Chambers's Journal J _
The passage from Dover to Calais, or from
Folkestone 'to Boulogue, is not a long one
either in time or distance, but it is nearly al
ways unpleasant, and often very abominable.
There is naturally a chopping cross sea in that
part of the Channel, due to conflicting tides,
winds and currents, and the steamboats feel the
roiling motion all the more through being so
small. Hence arises at once the question, Why
are they so small ? This, it appears, is due to
the fact that larger boats would draw more wa
ter than the harbors can command. All the
four harbors are shallow at lqw tide, all are
much encutnbered with mud or sand, and all
are affected by winds, which call for shelter
even beyond that which is at present provided.
Whether we shall improve the harbors, so as to
permit the use of larger and better vessels, or
whether we shall adopt some larger and bolder
scheme, is the problem. There are schemes for
A TUNNEL.
Some of the projectors talk of iron shafts
running up from the bed of the sea as a means
•of ventilation ; but they give very few hints of
the mode in which they would execute the
work. More recently came M. Fayre’s scheme,
in which the tunnel was to be more than a
hundred feet below the bed of the sea; shafts
sunk through the sea and sea bed were to fur
nish facilities for excavating the tunnel in the
first instance, and for ventilating it afterwards;
andrailway trains were to be propelled through
it by atmospheric pressure. Then came the
plans of Mr. Nicol and Mi;. Austin; the one
for a tunnel lined with an iron tube, the other
for three parallel tunuels at a depth of, sixty ;
feet below the sea bed. And theu came M.
Thome de Gamon'd’s scheme for a tunnel ven
tiiateefiby conical shafts, one of which was to
be of such gigantic dimensions as to permit of
winding roadways down its interior, to a sta
tion-more than a-hundred feet below the-bot
tom of the sea. It is dangerous to laugh at en
gineers, for they have the knack of turning the
laugh against us by doing the very things which
we have pronounced impossible; but this
scheme certainly is a staggerer. At the present
time some of our most noteworthy engineers,
such as Mr. Hawkshaw, Mr. Brunlees and Mr.
Remington, are seriously directing their best
,enei;giestotunneiscliemes,underabelief'tUat,
notwithstanding all fliflicullies, a railway tun
nel will be better than any other plait for cross
ing the Channel.
But the tunnel-makers do not have the dis
cussion to themselves. Mr. Bateman, a very
eminent engineer, says that he can lay dowtha
railway oiU.be bed of the sea, and so avoid the
trouble of tunnelling beneath it! This idea
grew up from small beginnings. Early in the
century two Frenchmen, MM. Franchot and
Tessie de Mottray, proposed a "plan for laying
dowm a east-iron- tube on- the-bed: of the sea,
large enough to take wheel carriages; but they
did not develop the matter with'any clearness. I
M. Payeme, another Frenchman, preferring
masonry to iron, proposed to form a. smooth
causeway of concrete at the bottom of the sea,
.by the aid of the diving-bell; and to build on
it a brick or stone tunnel of any desired dimen
sions. Mr. Wintou has a plan for laying down
a wrought-iron tube at the bottom of the sea,
big enough to admit a railway train; Mr. Chal
mers has another that would cost twelve mil
lions sterling; and Mr. Cown a third, in which
the tube is to be lined with concrete. Mr.Zerah'
Colburn speaks well of a plan for constructing a.
tube on the shore, in pieces one thousand feet
long, towing them out, sinking them, and join-
ing them end to end at the" bottom of the sea.
Mr. Page, engineer of the new Westminster
Bridge, proposes to build on shore eight conical !
shafts of iron, tow them out, sink them, and j
fill in the space between an inner and au outer i
cone with concrete. A lighthouse would be ;
built at the top of each eoue ; while at the !
bottom would be openings to the tube. The
tube would be constructed in quarter mile
lengths, sunk and joined end to end by work
men who would descend the shafts, and bur- I
row away in the water under the protection of
diving-hells. Some engineers assert that the ,
men could not work under such a tremendous
pressure of water; but Mr; Page declares that .
lie has a plan to ensure this; aud, as for venti
lation, he will provide eight permanent open
shafts to ventilate the tube at all times. Mr.
Bateman, in like manner, places reliance on a •
tube, but will coustruct it in a different way.
It would be thirteen feet in interior diameter,
and four inches thick. The sections would be • •
built up aud put together within a peculiar
kind of air chamber, at the bottom of the sea ;
and this chamber would be pushed on through
the water, by hydraulic power, as fast as the
tube is completed. One of the other engineers
says: “ There woidd be sixty thousand joints in
your tube, any of which may get into
trouble; and wliat would you do then? ” Ah! .
what, indeed ! As to the floating tube tunnel,
actually midway in the water between the sur
face and the bottom, we find nothing new to
record. Engineers and projectors have not
taken kindly to this idea. It will be re
membered that Mr. J. F. Smith’s plan
was for a wrought-iron tube “at a level of
thirty or forty feet below the surface of the
water. The diameter of the tunnel aud the
thickness of its metal would he so adjusted
that it would float. Mooring chains aud
anchors would prevent it from bobbing up
wards. Masonry piers, a mile or more apart,
would embrace it on the two sides; while cross
rods from pier to pier of each pair would con
fine the tube at the top and bottom. The tube
would be made in lengths of one hundred feet
each, floated out, sunk, and joined air-tight.
Some kind of corkscrew staircase would afford
access to the tube on the English aud French
shores, aud Use happy passengers would de
scend to their railway carriages in the tube.
Considering how easily such a floating tube
-could'-come -to grief,-and what an'iireifaritble"’
loss it would be if the sea were to make an ir- ,
ruction, wc'need not marvel that this particu- !
lar mode of crossing the channel has nob met
with many advocates. j
A TWENTY-MILE RIIIDIIK. j
We will dismiss the fifth level, or bridge J
scheme, in a few words, because few persons
look at it as at all feasible. There lias been
one plan for an iron tunnel or railway tube,
supported at a sufficient height above the
water upon foiu- hundred stone piers; other
plans for a continuous bridge or viaduct, witli
drawbridge openings or pivot bridges for tbe
passage of ships, and others for a high level
bridge, under which ships could pass through
arched or square-topped openings. M. Brmtet,
a French engineer, has recently broached a
plan whereby he believes he could span open
ings of three hundred feet from pier to pier.
But any bridge twenty miles long would be of
immense cost aud difficulty; while so many
piers woidd he dangerous to sbip3 at night and
in stormy weather. Let us come to the schemes
relating to the level of the sea itself. Some
thing that might be called a steam floating
bridge has often engaged the attention of
engineers, and is now ihe favorite idea of Mr.
Fowler in liis plan for improving the Channel
passage. . Such a bridge, in effect, .is a' large,
long, flat steamboat, with facilities for accu
rately adjusting its departure and arrival points
on shore. The idea is not now started for the
. first time. A few years ago. Mr. Ghinie pro
posed an arrangement in which the towers
were to be built in the sea, at a short distance
from the shores of England and France. An
cmbankment'was to be built from ihe towers
to each mainland, to the level' of the existin''
railways. .A railway going (sav) from Eu£
land to France, would run along the South
eastern Railway, then along the embankment,
and so to tire top of the tower. Here it would
be received on a platform, and would he low
ered by hydraulic power to the level of the sea,
agreater or-less descent, according to the state .
of the tide. A long flat steamship or raft
>would receive the train, and would convey it
across the Channel to the French coast, where
a reversed series of similar operations would
raise the train by hydraulic power to the top of
a tower, ready to run along an embankment to,
a junction with the French railways. About
two years ago a scheme by Mr. Daft, on some
such Dlan as this, occupied its due portiou of
attention. He had long before patented
a sbrt of monster raft or ferryboat for
ocean navigation, and.he proposed to modify
the idea for the Channel ferry. The vessel
was to consist of two long quadrangular hulks,
a little distance apart, decked over and bridged
one to the other; broad paddle-wheels would
rotate iu the space between them; aud lines of
rail on deck would receive railway trains.
What sort of dock would be required for sueli
a huge' double ship, and what would be the
sailing, or rather steaming qualities of the mon
ster, we could not venture to say. ’ Mr/Gran-"
tham, who is learned bn the subject of iron
ships, proposes a steel vessel four hundred feet
in length, with such a shallow draught as to
accommodate itself to existing harbors; it
would have a cellular structure at bottom,
with good cabin accommodation above. The
steamer would draw up by the side qf a pier or
quay, close (say) to the Southeastern Railway;
and the passengers would pass along a few feet
on a level from the one to the other, by a pecu
liar adjustment of gangways, according to the
height of the ti de. Luggage-vans would be
lifted on board by cranes, without disturbing
the luggage ; but as regards the passenger
trains, they would not go on board. Mr.
Grantham contends that this would be the
cheapest, and most practicable of all the plans. -
Mr. Bridges Adams has conceived the_idea of
twb.mohster rafts, side by side, one to receive
a goods train, and one a passenger train, with
some kind of central paddle or double-screw
propeller; and Mr. Galloway has suggested
something similar, but on a smaller scale. • But
let us look a little more closely at the train
ferry method. Mr. Fowler, engineer of the un
derground railways, has explained all the de
tails of this plan with remarkable, clearness.
He proposes to start from Dover,
and to run his gigantic steam
ferry across to near Cape Gristiez. His
purpose is to.construct new and well-sheltered
harbors on both coasts, and to make the:pas-.
sagevvitlilargeandadmirablycontrivedsteain
ers. Westward of the existing admiralty pier
at Dover will be a new pier, according to Mr.
Fowler’s plan, and between the two will be a
harbor sheltered from every wind, expressly
for the ferry service. Two short connected
links wifi bring the Southeastern Railway aad
the Chatham Dover Railway to the same quay
at the side of the harbor. The new harbor
will be of - sufficient depth at all states of the
tide. There wifi be a graving-dock, a covered
.berth'for the steamers, and hydraulic .apparatus
for raising and lowering the trains. So much
for the English side.
On the French side there will be more dif
ficulty. Calais is exposed to many adverse
winds, and the harbor is much choked with
sand, while Boulogne has these or other dis
advantages in about equal degree. Mr. Fowler
has consequently selected a spot on the coast
between the two, near the village of Andre
celles, where there is deep water, no sand, and
good shelter from the north and east winds.
A harbor (the approval and assistance of the
French Government being first obtained) will
be constructed, at that spot, with the same kind
of quays, graving dock, covered berth, hydrau
lic machinery, as at Dover. Small curved
branches .will connect the quay with the system
of railways running to Paris on the one hand
and to Belgium on the other. The arrange
ment, when completed, would shorten the
railway distance from London to Paris by
; about fourteen miles, and the sea distance by
i two miles. The saving .of time,
owing, to circumstances presently to
!be explained, would be nearly two
; hours, iSo much for works ou land:
: and now for the ferry-boats (if so humble a
name be given to such large aucT powerful
steamers).in which'the passage is to be made.
They will be no less than four huudred aud
fifty feet, long—the largest ships in the world
except the Great Eastern; nearly sixty feet
beam and more than eighty-five feet across the
paddle boxes. Two complete railway trains,
one for passengers and one for goods, can be
accommodated on board each ship by a most
ingenious arrangement. The stem and stern
, wijjl he made to open, to admit the entrance
and exit of trains of carriages and wagons. The
passenger train will run upon a platform occu
pying the whole length of the vessel on its
main deck, and protected from the weather
overhead by the upper deck. The goods train
will descend au incline to a lower platform just
under the passenger train. ■*
COM LOUTS of TIIAVKL,
Dining-saloons, ladies’ cabins, smoking
rooms, custom-house rooms, &c., will be situ
ated ou the main deck, on either, side of the
platform on which the passenger train rests.
By this most convenient arrangement passen
gers may either remain in the carriages, or
(as most of them would assuredly do) may
alight and take their ease in the' saloons
during the sea passage—supping, breakfasting,
dining, or otherwise refreshing the inner man
before resuming their journey on French
ground. The idea is that the entire voyage
from coast to coast shall be made in about an
hour; aud the constructional and steaming
qualities of the vessel are to be conducive to
this end. As it is part of the bargain (in
which Neptune is supposed to be concerned)
that there is scarcely to be any pitching or roll
ing, nothing is likely to prevent the big ferry
ship from making a rapid transit. The passen
gers would secure the self-same seats iu self
same carriages all the way from London
to Paris. The luggage aud the mails,
also, - would'- " be "■ —undisturbed. ' ' It “is ‘
in this saving of time by avoid
ing the necessity of transhipping passengers,
luggage and mails, that the shortening of the
journey will mostly be effected. The rails oh
the quay, on the hydraulic hoist, and on the
platforms in the ship, will, of course, be on the
same gauge, and will be properly connected by
points, sidings, Ac. At high-water, the
passenger platform in the ship will be about
on a level with the quay ; at other states of the
tide a descent of the hydraulic hoist will easily
accommodate itself to the difference iu levei.
Marine engines of first-rate character, and all
the bestappliances of machinery, are, of course,
to be looked for; if done at all, the thing must
be done well. Admiral Oinmaney has so far
endorsed this plan as to indicate what the size
of the great steam ferry ship mighTße, accord
ing to the depth of water which the harbors
would accommodate—four hundred feet long
with a draught of thirteen feet, three hundred
aud fifty with one of ten feet, aud three hun
dred with one of seven feet.

PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1870.
Why.should.not.a sinner set forth to his fello>v I
sinners the infinite merits of the Saviour, with
out tying. up bis neck in white muslin ? So
he valiantly turns down his shirt collar; and
his conservative deacons are lucky if he does
not wear a necktie of some light shade, and 1
smoke cigars in the outskirts of the villager
When he meets the infidel tailor, he does not
pass by him with au air of mingled pain and a
rebuke which causes that ill-tempered little
scoundrel to ‘blaspheme more hideously'thau
ever, and to bawl out to his sad-eyed wife, a
believer yoked with an unbeliever, that there
goes another of her infernal hypocrite parsons.
On the contrary, he stops genially at the shop
window ; goes further in pointing out errors in
our version Of the Scriptures than Tom Paine
himself, the tailor’s favorite author; gets his
measure taken for a coat; makes the little blas
phemer think to himself, Well, anyhow, this
ain’t one of your hollow-chested croakers like
old Smith, or young Skimp, or that Merkes;
points out, then, that though this and that and
a thousand more errors may be alleged by the
scolfer, and freely admitted by the believer, the
eternal truths of the Bible are still as near the
tailor’s soul, aud of as tremendous importance
to il, as ever ; gives the tailor’s son a lesson in
boxing; leaveal.be tailor in the shop, and, go
ing into the back parlor, prays with the tailor’s
wife—not a dry, set prayer like Skimp’s, hut a
heartfelt talk with liis Father, which the tailor
hears through the door; and ho comes out,
gets alight for his cigar from the inlidel’s pipe,
recommends him to procure such and such a
brand of tobacco, and goes away leaving Skep
ticus badly staggered, and on the high road to
Sunday clean shirts and surreptitious attend
ance at “evening meeting.”
The live man in the ministry never preaches;
he talks. Christ is not to him an abstraction, j
he says,'liut liis' flesli-and-blobd brother, who'
loves to be addressed familiarly. • So, when
preaching and praying, he is " not averse to a
little slang-—provided it is not.of the kind called
Sermonese. What harm is a joke from
the pulpit ? In short, the new Timothy is
usually a young with more blood
than brains; with more ability to talk fluently
than capacity for thinking; about as spiritual
minded as a stock broker, and notso yvell man
nered ; as learned as amagazine writer; as witty
us a sophomore; as noisy as a stump speaker; as
displeasing a person to anybody who likes spirit
ual and moral teachers -to be men of - dear,
"heads and eleaii hearts its any person' that eair
well be conceived of.
Effect of tbe War on California. Wines,
The San Francisco Chronicle says:
“ It is ‘ an ill wind that blows nobody good.’
This promises to be illustrated in the results
of the European war, as far as the United
States are concerned in general and California
in particular. The wine-growings interest lias
assumed considerable magnitude within a few
years .past, and to-day is esteemed . one of the.
most valuable of our resources. Should the
war be prolonged, there is not much proba
bility that the vintage of IS7O of France or
Germany will be heard of in the market,"aud
as the people who are accustomed to the use
of wines will not care to forego their luxury be
cause Napoleon and Bismarck choose to quar
rel on a question of minor importance to them,
they will look elsew here for. a supply. And,
naturally, California wines will, receive that
consideration which is justly their due. The
wines of California, as well as the brandies,
possess a certain degree of rank
ness and strength which are not found
in the French and German vintages,
but it is claimed that a recent invention has
overcome these objections, and that we eau
now present connoisseurs with a most excel
lent. article in every respect. Recent advices
indicate that the California wines are slowly es
tablishing themselves in favor. -Notwithstand
ing the objections we have referred to, these
wines were rapidly gaining in reputation in the
Eastern States several years ago, until some
greedy compounders of liquors engaged in the
‘ manufacture’ of California wines, flooded the
market with a spurious article, aud in conse
quence good and bad became a drug. Achance
is now offered to tbe California wine-growers
to recover the lost ground, aud they will doubt
less improve it. Congress should take early
action and discriminate in favor of native
wines, and relieve this branch of industry from
taxes which are unjust and oppressive. The
war lias already caused an increase in bread
stuffs sufficient to make glad the farmers ; now
should it increase the demand for the pure
juice of the grape,California will have no cause
to mourn.

London, September I. —[.speciallo tbe New
York Tribune.] —A correspondent writes
from Paris August 31,.as follows : “ All kinds
" of food are already reaching famine prices.
Butter, salt and potatoes are double, and meats
triple the usual cost. Tradesmen refuse to sell
except in limited quantities, . Preparations are
being made on a vast scale for tbe. wounded,
anil colleges, lyccums, schools, and convents
are converted into hospitals.
By order of tbe government the palaces at
Versailles, Thialion, St. Cloud, Meridon, St.
Germain, and Bambouillet are to be immedi
ately prepared for tbe same purpose. Many
private bouses have been given tip. Tbe rich
oiler their country seats and the poor single
rooms, and the Omnibus Company has given
several depots. Distrust between the govern
ment and tbe people still exists, but has much
diminished. Time is tbe great French ally.
A week since the Crown Prince might have
ridden into Paris, but to-day the defences are
stronger and tbe moral conditions of defence
still more improved, and it only needs the trust
of the people to save Paris and France.
Bkus.se t.s, Sept. 1, *.45 p. M.—Belgium
newspapers of this evening publish the follow
ing telegrams: Bouillon, August iil. —Fight-
ing commenced at 9 A. M. to-day at Boseiles.
The French are said to have captured JO guns.
No positive result has been received.
Brussels, Sept. I.—[Special to tlie New
Y ork Herald.] —It is reported here tjiat a fresh
battle commenced to-day in the direction of
Sedan. MacMabon occupies a strong posi
tion.
Tbe following official despatch is from a
Prussian source:
Yai:ennE3, Sqpt. 1.-r-The endeavors of
MacMabon to, relieve Metz have beep
thoroughly ffustrated by the operations of tbe
last few days and the battle of August JO. The
loss of tbe enemy is extraordinarily great,
while that on our side is comparatively small.
Paris, Sept. I.—The Constitutionncl says
the Diplomatic Corps will not leave Paris. The
Empress lias signified her intention to remain,
even in case of a, siege. The Minister of War
yesterday, in the Corps Ler/islalif, said he was
sure the Chambers would act rightly iu leaving
him freedoni of action. What ha'd been done
in so short-a time was an earnest- of - what
would be done in the immediate future. The
proposition to arm the people in the invaded
provinces, which was opposed by the Ministry,
was rejected by a vote of 180 to 50.
Paris, Sept. I.—[Special to, the New York
Times.] —The combined movements of Ba
zaine and MacMabon have been most success
ful, and their strategic plans have been well
devised,promptly executed,and directed to all the
weak points of the enemy. The victory of the
Trench at Coureelles was important as main
taining prestige against numbers. Confidence
is entirely restored and a siege ridiculed. A
despatch received to-day from a correspondent
of the Ne,w York Times , on the Prussian side,
represents discouragement as on the increase,
the cry “ To Paris 1” is daily becoming fainter,
and death from exposure and disease is making
fearful havoc in tlie Prussian ranks.
Berlin, Sept. I.—The telegraph lines are
Still in inextricable confusion. The dates of
■messages from the seat of war, and particu
larly those from Beaumont, giving tbe details
of tbe late b'attles, require verification.
Bkussels, bept. I.— lnformation of a grave
character has been received from the frontier.’
Violation of Belgium territory by one or
-other of t[ie hostile armies in France- is immi
nent, and reinforcements have been sent to
the Count of Flanders, at Philipyille.
PassengMfc- between London and Paris
still worrylpo,ugl|Py way of Dover and New
Haven. r ' ' y ; v
The French frigate Off Plymouth, after cap
turing the Julius, was seen oh Wednesday at
dusk in. pursuit of a large German ship, which
was making e’v.ery effort to escape.
Pauis, Sept." 1, Evening—[Special to the
New York Hefcd'd.] —The evening papersstate
that on August ,20 Marshal Bazaiue gained a
substantial victory I "'pver Frederick
Charles’s cavalry; that on the 30th the ;Prus
sians obtained an advantage over De Failiy’s
TOE W AR.
corps, but that yesterday MacMabon gained an
important victory. c j._ va
': London, iNept; ,I.—[Special to tlie ?fow
York World.] —Another tremendous battle oc
curred to-day before Sedan: - MacMabon, with
an inferior, forge, is disputing every inch of
ground -with desperate valor. Pniikao said to-;
day that MacMabon has not suffered near so
much as the Germans, and the fighting will
continue for, several, days in t|ie same region.
The Parisians believe'That MacMahoh will be
able to hold tlie Germans at . bay .until tbe army
of LyOns, 150,000 strOrig, can be brought into
action. . ■„.
Tlie garrison of Strasbourg made a success
ful sortie on Tuesday night.
Paris, Aug.; 31, : :E?ening.j~[Special to the
New York Tribune.]—The majority of the
Coips Ler/islatif shows no real "regret at the
Bonapartists’ attacks on Protestants, and tlie
Ministers have declined to promise that pre
fects guilty of exasperating the mob against
the Protestants shall' be-dismissed. In such
matters the power of the Empress is, as M.
Picard hinted, supreme, atid tlie Empress fa
vors religious persecution even in tliisiCrisis.. -
London, Sept. I.— [Special to the' New
York Tribune.] —The Medical Journal says it
is assured that the statements as to the delicate
and doubtful st&tc.qf [the Emperor’s health are
well founded. Dr. Prescott Hewitt, of St.
George’s Hospital, visited the Emperor profes
sionally, and says that in consequence of pain
ful and wearing vetical and prostatic affections,
auded to recent fatigues, bodily and mental,
startling announcements may be made at any
moment.
Whether the battles of Beaumont and
Cariguan. were fought on the same’day or on
successive days seems doubtful. MacMabon
had been caught with his army astride tbe
Meuse, and .attacked by superior forces on both.
s srdeS ;
to retreat. Finding tbe enemy on bis flank
and his communications threatened, he wasted
no time, but attaekedj-wherever he could reach
the enemy... The. country 'above Etain and
Verdun is filled with troops. The Crown
Prince of Saxony held the .right, bank of the
Meuse, while three-Saxon and .Bavarian corps
advanced on Buzancy.'
The battle of Carignan, tbe official details of
which are wanting, was. apparently the most
important. It was fought under the eye of the
Emperor, MacMahon commanding in person.
The defeat was followed by a rout . and.apps
rimtiy ,i hot Prussian pursuit. MiicMahciii could
only fall back onSedan, fugitives from the
other battle accompanying him. Strong de
tachments are expected from tbe Crown Prince,
near Rbeims, to complete the environment of
MacMahon’s remaining forces.
French official accounts represent that Mac-
Mabon is retiring either on Sedan or Mezieres
to occupy the enemy, whom it is no longer safe
to engage.at a distance from his.strongholds, _.
A Tribune correspondent telegraphs from
Luxemburg pi; September Ist, at noon: There
was fighting at Longwy this morning. All the
heights are covered with smoke, but if there
are any French at Longwy, they can only be
routed troops flying before tbe Saxony Crown
Prince. Such a position it is impossible that
tlie French could have accepted except at the
last extremity, ' . ;
Communication between Paris and London
by rail and telegraph is uninterrupted.
~ A special correspondent' of tlie Tribune, with
tlie First Prussian Army Corps, writes on Aug
ust 30: The Second Army sent the Crown
Prince two and a half corps ten days ago, and
■they have been returned, as the plans have
been changed from tbe starving out'of Metz to
a bombardment. •
Heavy artillery has been mounted against
Forts St. (JueiiUn and Plajipenville. Dysentery
and typhus fever prevail in Metz, and a white
Rag was sent out on August 30 for water, sur
gi-ons and medicines. Tiie_ssater-4n tbe, Mo
selle is unwholesome. - 1
Tlie same correspondent telegraphs to-day
from Saarlouis: “ There is no enemy this side
of tlie Meuse. Twenty thousand landwehr
went hence_yestcrday. Dysentery is depopu
lating .Saarbauk. A heavy sortie was made
eas’ward from Metz, yesterday, and repulsed,
ile.-vy cannonading at Metz was Beard here
this morning.”
