Oosan, Monday Etenbvj , August Ist.
Here we are, far away from the busy world of
.war andjxraflict, in the quiet and lovely scenes
of the Tyrol. Nature is seen kere in all her
tranquil loveliness. What a contrast the un
disturbed serenity of this charming region pre
sents to tlie angry passions that are inflaming
the breasts of excited thousands oh yonder dis
tant plains, and hurrying them on, in stern
array, to the shock of battle, and to the fields
of slaughter!
Our company is broken up again. N——
found friends from Rome, at Ischl,. and lias
joined tliern to go off in another . direction.
Now v:e are three. The party, thus reduced,
left Ischl in a carriage, early this afternoon, to
plunge into the heart of Tyrol. A pleasant
ridelip a beautiful valley Trrought us toTour
present resting-place befhro the close of theafter
noon. IVo have comfortable quarters at a very
nice inn on'the shores of a lovely lake, shut in
by mountains on every side. We ordered
dinner on'our: arrival, and it was served up to
us on the balcony of the inn, directly overr
banging the deep, blue waters of the peaceful
lake. While we, were at dinner a very band
koine carriage: dro ve' up and stopped at our inn.
It contained a venerable looking couple, with a
handsome youth, apparently about eighteen or
twenty years old. They were attended by two
very stylish-looking servants in livery. Observ
ing that all the people around took off their
hats to these newly-arrived personages, with
" every 7 mark of profound respect, We fbuud,'on
inquiry, that we' had the honor; of at
the same house with the father > and mother
and the younger brother of Francis Joseph, the
Emperor-of. Austria! They had driven out
from the Imperial chalet at Ischl, for an after
noon ride, and after resting awhile at this beau
tiful spot, drove: quietly away on their return
to Ischl.
We expect to start in tbe morning on a
pedestrian excursion to some interesting locali
ties in tins vicinity. It will occupy us ah the
day, and we are to return here to-morrow
evenidg.
Tuesday Ecening, August 2.—We
have had, as I anticipated, a delightful day’s
excursion. We had an early breakfast of nice
mountain trout, and started between seven
and eight ©’clock in a little boat to the upper
end of the h£;, the HallsUdt Sea, on
Which the hotel is situated at which we are
BOW staying. ' It Wits but half £~ n hour’s sail to
reach the point ftlicie we-left the boat. Then
we stmek a path in the woods leading over the
side of the mountain. An hour’s steep climb
ing brought us through the woods out upon a
good road. Then we had a three hours Walk
through a beautiful and richly cultivated
valley, with fine mountain scenery before us at
every step. During the latter part of our
walk there opened up before us a splendid
view of the ice-fields and glaciers far away in |
the lofty bosom of the Dacbstein, the highest
mountain in this immediate vicinity. These
formed 'a striking contrast to the beautiful
verdure of the lovely valley through which we
were journeying.
15y twelve o’clock we reached tbe village of
Aussee, which was our point of destination.
It is most picturesquely situated in the midst
of one of the most charming valley I ever
saw, and is ended round by a magnificent
amphitheatre of mountains. After resting
awhile at the hotel and cooling off from tbe
effects of our noonday walk, we all took a
swimming-bath at tbe public bath in tbe vil
lage, which is amply supplied with
'' clear, —cool- water from a mountain
stream. It was refreshing and delightful,
in tbe highest degree. Nothing could be more
delidously luxurious than such a bath, at such
an hour, and after such exertion.
After this we took an hour’s ride through the
valley, to see another charming lake that lies
there, quietly hid away among the shadows of
the mountains. Then we returned to the hotel
at-Aussertcrdine. —We-restedforanhouror
so after -dinner, and then started to return by a
different route from that we had taken in the
morning. We had a three hours’ delightful
walk tlirough a pine forest, skirting round the
side of a mountain, Jt was shady and pleasant
all the way, with much of that sweet blending
of light and shadow which the silti always
makes, on a clear, bright day, in forest scenery.
* Just about sundown we reached tbe lower end
of tbe lake, from tbe upper part of which we
had started in the morning. At the village, sit
; iiated at that end of Hie lake, we hired a boat
(built somewhat after the style of tbe Venitian
gondola, but all innocent of paint), to convey
ns across to our hotel. Tbe boat was rowed by
an old Tyrolese peasant, assisted by his son and
daughter. . .The latter, a fine, modest-looking
buxom lass, with her well-developed, muscular
arms, handled her oar with quite as much
vigor and skill as her father or broLher. It took
us an hour to reach our hotel,and tbe sail upon
the placid lake, at that calm, still evening hour,
was perfectly charming. There was hardly a
ripple on the water. The lake was'shut-in on
all sides by tall dark mountains,that rose up iii
eclly from the shore, and cast gigantic shadows
over its tranquil surface, and oh, bow grandly;
J never enjoyed a sail more. There was every
element in combination to make it delightful in
the highest degree. We reached the hotel about
eight o’clock, having been gone a little over
twelve hours. Some of our excursions have
presented to us more of the rugged, the grand,
the sublime in natural scenery, but never, I
think, in a single day, have I ever gazed on so
. - many and such varied Scenes of such .exqui
j : site beauty as'iu this day’s excursion in - the
Tyrol. ’ .
Goi.l.ixu, Wednesday-Eceniiiy, -Aug. 3. "
There is nothing like a trip through such a re
gion as this* to brush up one’s geographical
JmowJedge,Qt_loealiti£s, concerning „fyliich..be J
has perhaps never heard before." If any one
had asked me a day or two ago where “ (10l- ■
ling” was, h should have been very much per
plexWfCir ktrajuswerr —But h -could give' a
pretty good account Of its situation, appearance
y-nd-general history now. :
We left our nice little hotel on the Ilollstadt
Sea between six and seven o’clock this morn-
PTHT. A DELPHI A EVENING BULLETIN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER ITT-KW
ing, for a long day’s ride across the mountains
to-this village.- Gosace, in spite ofits beautiful
situation, it must v beadmitted, is fairly entitled
to the homely but .expressive designation of ‘‘ ft
one-horse place.”. We needed a good sized
carriage and a strong team of horses to take us
and our baggage through the journey of to-day-l
Butour landlord assured us that the very
most, Grosace Could do for us was to furnish us
an “ ein spanner,” orone-horso buggy, to carry
us to "the next village, which was richer in its
resources as to vehicles. So we chartered the
“ ein spanner.” What' a humbug it is to pay
for. a conveyance, which it is agreed will carry
you for a given distance, aud then to find that
you are expected to get out'and walk up the
hills, even though it is hilly, most of the viay-
This was our experience with the “ ein span
ner,” this morning. However, it did not last,
loDg, for an hour and a half brought us to the
next village. Here we found a nice roomy car
riage and a pair of good homes. These we en
gaged, with a driver, for two days, to carry us
to, a place called Gastein, which we expect to
reach to-morrow evening, and where ray jour
ney in this delightful ,region will reach its., ter
mination.
We have had a very pleasant journey to
day. Our route-lias been emphatically over
“ high places.”, We have ridden Wr two
mountain passes and through the valleys that
lie between them. These are among the
higher valleys of this region, lying far up to
wards the summits of the mountains. Their
general elevation is between three and four
thousand feet above the level of the sea,. Our
road has been off from the general thorough
fare, and where -no public conveyances . run..
Here we have an opportunity of seeing the
country, as well as the costumes and modes of
life ofj the people in their true character. No
thing surprised me more than to find these
high-iying valleys so thickly peopled, and with
so much 'beauty, fertility and cultivation every
- whereiprevailing. -Thfiving-farms and verdant,
Well-tilled fields were about us all the day. The
hardy peasants were busily occupied in gather
ing luxuriant crops of hay and harvests of
grain, even in portions of the valleys that lie
very close to the bare rocky cliffs that form the
summits of the mountains.
We stopped to dine at the mountain village
of Abtenan, where everything wore an air of
the most primitive simplicity. When we called
for our bill, it was brought .to us with the dif
ferent Items all chalked down on a diminutive
looking black-board.
(tolling is a small but ancient village, pleas
antly situated on the river Solza, in the midst
of a wide, open valley. We only stop here for
the night, because It was too long a journey w>
go on to the next village in .the line of bill
route.
B'7p Gakxeix, Thursday Evening, August
4, tVe took an early start, this morning, for
another long and interesting day’s" ride. We
Toso at half-past four. hreakfasted'at five',’ and
were under way by half-past five. We crossed
the valley in which Golling lies, and began to
ascend the mountain on the opposite side. We
had first to climb up a wild gorge in the. moun
tain, through the bed of which the river Solza
has made a passage for itself. In the midst of j
the pass we turned aside into the woods to
see a remarkable chasm, worn by thS-river
through the rocky side of the mountain. Huge
masses of the overhanging mountains have
fallen into the chasm and blocked it up. We
climbed over these fallen masses, by the help,
of wooden steps and bridges, and looked down
upon the river, far below, in the deep, wild
gorge, dashing and foaming, as it' plunged on
its way through the dark rocky delile.
Returning to our carriage, in the road, we
went on our way, winding tlirough the narrow
pass. There is one place where it makes a
sudden turn, in the narrowest part. On the
opposite side to that on which the road runs,
midway up the steep, rocky cliff, a little fort
has been hewn out in the face of the mountain,
making a sort of a miniature Gibraltar. It is
furnished with a single gun, and here, on one
occasion, thrfee or four meu actually defended
the Pass against a regiment of invaders. On
coming out from the Pass, our road ran, for
the greater part of the day, along the banks of
the river Solza, up the valley through which it
runs.
We made three halts of an hour each during
the day, to rest our horses. The first of these
i-wae at a,little-village called..Werfen Qn.J,he„
outskirts of this village is a large, strong castle, i
built on the summit of a hill that rises 300 feet j
above the village. Looked at from below, it
seems very much like a “ castle built in the
air,” only much more substantial than build
ings of this class ordinarily are. It formerly
belonged to the Bishop of Salzburg, and, in the
days when men. were persecuted for con
science 5 sake, numbers of Protestants were im
prisoned in its dungeons and tortured in its
towers. It is now in the hands of the Aus
trian government, and is used as a barracks
for soldiers\
Our second halt was at the village of St.
Johann, where we dined. Just before reach.
I ing the village of Lendt, where our third and
last halt was made, we passed a wild ravine, oh
the side of the road, whore a mountain river
comes dashing down in three successive plunges,
forming a magnificent cascade.
After leaving the last named village our road
turned oil from the valley again, to ascend an
other mountain, or rather to go over another
mountain Pass. This is called the Klammer
Pass. It, leads over into the Gastein Yalley,
and for wild grandeur and sublimity will com
pare favorably with any of the iinest passes in
Switzerland. In some places the sides of the
narrow defile are so steep that formerly the
road was supported, like a shelf, by beams
fastened to the cliff with iron clamps. These
have given place to solid stone arches and walls
built up from the bottom of the precipice. It
is a di/,zy path to pursue, though perfectly safe
now, except that in the spring time it is much
exposed to avalanches and land slides. . .. ; .
Emerging from the stern, rugged grandeur
of this magnificent Pass, we came ..out at once
. into.the smiling aud beautiful valley of Gas
tein. Here the. mountains retreat, on either
side, and come sloping gently down to the Bot
tom of tbe valley. These slopes are all highly
cultivated; and the rich emerald green of the
pasture lands, with the ripening fields of golden
gram among them, and the darker hue of the
J pines, scattered over them, give n
charm and beauty to the scene that must be
..witnessed to be realized.
We arrived at our destination at half-past
six, having been just thirteen hours on the
way. It was cloudy and threatened rain all
day,.which set in vjgorbUslyj.ust after oar ar
rival. - ...
Gastein is famous for its warm Paths, which
are much frequented. Formerly it was cele
brated for its mines of gold and silver* Be
fore the discovery of America- it was . the Po
tosi of Europe for silver, and its California for
gold. But its day for the precious metals is
over now. . It was at one time, also, a great
centre for the carrying trade .betweeh Northern
Europe and Italy. , But this, too, has passed
away. Yet, amidst these changes, some things
have known hut little change here. As an i>
-lustration-of-tbis-I-niay-mentionJhat : the.hQteL
at which we are now stopping, it is said, has
been kept uninterruptedly, by members of the
same family, for the last three hundred years'
Salzbuxig, Friday Evening , August sth.
Our company is broken up, and I am now
making my way solitary and alone; and so 1
must do for the rest of the time until I ; reach
home. I took leave of ray companions thin
.morning at Gastein* They expect to remain
some two or three weeks together in the Tyrol,
When (lrny will separate also. B. going home
first, I next, and C. last. We are"to sail on
three successive Saturdays, returning, one after
another, like scattered sheep.
~’ Jt w.fts hard to break off from such pleasant
company, and to make one’s way with no one
to gay a word to, and especially among a peo
ple whose language you do not ; understand.
But there is no help for it and I" must do the
best I can. ,
1 should have stayed another day 7 in the
beautiful valley of Gastein if the weather had
been, favorable. But it rained hard last night,
and was still raining early this morning, with
the prospect of continuing through ; the day.
So I concluded to leave. I took the Dili
gence, at seven o’clock this morning,
and came through to this place in
twelve hours. In consequence of the war,
there are. only two trains.from. here to Muuicb
in twenty-four hours, instead of five or six, as
there used to b'e. The most expeditious of
these is a midnight train, and I have concluded
to take that. I expect to leave at one o’clock
to-night on my way to Geneva, and shall be
very glad when I get there.
Tuhich, Hotei. Beli.evie, Sunday Even
ing, August' ".—I made no "entry ’in my'jour
nal last night, owing to the late hour of my ar
rival here. By the time I reached the hotel
and had taken a cup of tea it was near twelve
o’clock, and as this was at the close of a jour
ney of near thirty-six hours, twelve by dili
gence, and twenty-four by railway, with only
such'snatches of sleep as one can get in a sit
-'■osture. I felt myself excused for letting
theJourudl i'o: 7 ”
My last entry was at Salzburg,” oh Friday,
evening. I might have gotten two or three
hours sleep that night, but as the train'Which
I proposed to take was to start at one o’clock
-I-was afraid togoho-sleep,-lest I should miss
the train. So I occupied myself with writing
till twelve o’clock. Then I settled my. hotel
bill; got my baggage taken to the depot; had
it submitted to the custom-house officers—for
Salzburg, being a frontier town between Aus
| tria and Bavaria, is one of the many places in
I these lands where this annoyance: has to be
! met- —secured my ticket, and waited for the de
parture of the train. I was much relieved to
find that 1 could get a ticket all the way through
to Linden, at the foot of Lake Constance. I
\ feared I might not be able to get further than
! Munich, and did not care to spend Sunday
there.
At one o’clock the train started. It passed
through Munich, Augsburg and Kempten,with
only a short stay in each, and reached Lindan
yesterday at one in the afternoon. I dined
there at the restaurant near the station, and
then took the steamer across the lake to
Rorsebaeli. And here occurred the first ad
venture 1 have encountered in my solitary
journeying. I got my ticket for Zurich, under
the impression that there was a train to
start for that place at half-past three.. About
i that time a train came up in front of the depot.
' I asked one of the officials of the station if that
; was for Zurich. He answered “ Yaw.” So I
entered, stowed away my baggage and quietly
■ took a seat, indulging the pleasing thought of
j being snugly landed in Zurich—that great cen
tre of Swiss energy and enteiprise—with the
first stage of my long journey finished by seven
o'clock. Bnt here I was to have furnished me
a practical illustration of the truth that
“ The best laid schemes of mice and men
Aft gang awry.”
Before reaching the first stopping-place the
conductor came along. I showed him my
ticket. Instead of punching a round hole in
it, hy way of showing- that all was right, he
shook • his head ominously, suspended the
puncturing "lousiness, by way of showing that
all was not rfght, and delivered quite a speech
in German, not one word of which I could
understand. Nevertheless, the whole proceed
ing left on my mind the settled, but sorrowful
conviction that I was on the wrong train, and
that the only thing for me to do was to get out
lat the nest station, and wait for a return train.
This, accordingly, I did. The conductor got
out too. He explained the matter to one of
the officials there, find then tried to overwhelm
me by letting loose a full stream of voluble
German. But I resolved not to stand still and
look rediculous,whatever inward consciousness
there might be of an undoubted right
to feel so. Accordingly I made a counter
movement, and met his stream of German by
an equal stream of voluble English. I sup
pose the theme of the conductor’s speech was
the folly of persons in starting in a train with
out being sure of where they were go
ing to. ,1 chose as the subject of mw dis
course the folly and imperfection of tlieSwiss
system of railway management, in allowing
trains to depart before the conductor in charge
has any chance to examine the tickets of the
passengers. Such a mistake as 1 had made
cpuldriqtha.madeJn_. any. other cpturtry.,, in
Europe. J - - - . '
Eor, in cither countries, no traiu is allowed
to depart till the conductor has been all through,
and has examined the ticket of every passenger.
The Swiss have attempted to imitate our
American; system of railways, and, like all
Imitators, have folio wed .'the faults, rather than
the perfections of their model.JWhen my friend
found that I was not to be overwhelmed with
talk; he subsided, and-went on board-his train*
, which soon moved off.
Shortly after the return train came along,
1 and I got back to Rorsehach. But then, on
iii(] U iry, r fouml fo my regret that I had to
rWait between three /aridi'four hours, for the j
evening train to Zurich..‘' Now, of all dull and
'stupid things,'' the most dull' and - stnpid-is,- to -
bo.obligedtp'kuinge for about a railway
station, with nothing to read and nothing to
do. i'Went into the waiting room, got out my
.writing'. 1 materials,/and'brought my .journal,
which was a iittle behind hand, up to date.
Then I walked out to see the town. It is a.
small; place with only three or four streets in it.
ThenT walked slowly’through, up one side
and down another. I examined every, shop
window, riiade a sort of mentai inventory of
their contents, and tried to determine what I
wc til’d'buy, in easel were obliged to’make a v
purchase for each of .them, And here, let me,
remarft. jhatnf any enterprising Yankee,should
have it in Contemplation to get up a directory
of Rorseh'acb, and will call on me, on my, re-,'
turn, • (not immediately, bv'riny means,' bns
sometime after, say about next Christmas, or
midsummer), I think L could give him some;
interesting particulars about the ins arid orits
of the town, the best places for the purchase
; of useful and fancy articles, &e., &c.
I But what a blessed institution patient wait
; ing is. ■ How many of ’the ‘‘ills that flesh is
i heir it, enables us to “worry through with.”
Seven o’clock came at last, and riot'long after
it came the’train, the fight train, for Zurich.
1 got into it there, a little after seven, and out
of it here about eleven, and thus ended the first
long stage of my solitary journey. It was more
expeditious than I had: supposed to be possible ;
and more varied by adventure than I care to
have the remaining stages of it prove.) .
It was a great luxury to stretch the weary
fl ame on a good long bed with wide covering.
In the region where'l left my friends tho beds
aie very short, and the covering ridiculously
narrow. They have the queerest sort of quilts,
about as broad as a yard-wide strip of carpet.
We were constantly reminded of the prophet’s
words, for literally “ the beds were shorter than
that a man (especially, somo men), could
stretch himself in therii, arid the 'coverings
narrower than that lie could wrap himself in
them.”
I have spent a quiet, pleasant Sabbath here,
though of course, a solitary one, with not a
soul iu the place that I know. This morning.
1 attended service at the English Chapel.
There'- was a large congregation,- quite-filling
the place. We had a discourse about twenty
minutes long, on that beautiful text in Isaiah,
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace; whose
mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in
thee.” The rest of the day I have spent quiet
ly iu my room, except taking a walk along the
shore of tlie lake about sunset. The hotel at
which lam stay ing,stands directly, on the lake,
and.inj:.room...window, overlooks its..peaceful.
waters.
Zurich has not the grandeur of scenery, that
marks Lucerne,or Brieuz, or some of the other
lakes of Switzerland. But it has the Charms of |
life, and nchcultivation. Its borders teem with |
population.’ Every little stream turns some
mill. At tlie mouths of the valley are
enormous factories, and the shores of the lake
appear almost like an uninterrupted village.
And then in an tfastorlcal point of view, it is
interesting as haying been the scene of the
life and labors.of that brave reformer Zwingtius.
I expect bo leave in riie morning for
Geneva,and to get there in the evening. I. will
not close my letter till after my arrival there.
Geneva, llotee de r.A Paix, Tuesday
Morning, August IJ.—Here I am back at the old
place which i left with my-companions a-montli
a<ro. I left Zurich at ten o’clock yesterday
morning, and arrived here safely at ten o’clock
. last night, just a twelve hours’ ride. 1 found,
as I anticipated, a nice lot of letters awaiting
me.
There is great excitement here about the
war. The boys were crying “ Extras” at the
stations along the road to-day .containing official
announcements of a Prussian victory. Paris is
declared to be in a state of siege. This I suppose
is only a pretext for placing it under martial
law,so as more readily to check any outbreak in
ease of further reverses. I heard of a sharp
saying of Bismarck’s the other day ; some one
asked him what would be the probable cost of
this war. His reply was: “ Its cost in men, it
is impossible to estimate. In money it will
probably cost about —two Napoleons .”’ I wish
I were, through my business in Paris, and com
fortably landed in England. I hope to realize
• this within a week, or ten days. After break

Paris, Sept. 16.—{Special to the New York
Herald.] —The hoisting of the red flag at
Lyons in defiance of- the Government creates
pain and uneasiness. Severe measures will be
taken against the offenders. The names of
the editors who have left Paris are to beimb
lished.
The workiDgmen of the city form thirty-six
battalions, comprising Bu,OOU meu.. They are
among the most determined defenders of the
city', and are resolved on aWar of exlerin illa
tion.
Visitors to Paris will remember Colic's res
taurant,-on the comer of line Royaie and Rue
St. Ifonore. As I left the Place de la Concorde
tlie crowd was gazing at the dosed shutters of
the restaurant, on which was written in large
letters in chalk : “ Closed in consequence of
robbery ; TO centimes 8 sous for a small loaf
worth 2 sous; 1 franc 70 centimes for hock
beer. Justice has been done. Closed by order

It is rumored tliat the crown diamonds
lodged by the Empress in the Bank of France
are of paste, and that the real ones were sold
long since through an American dentist,
named Dr. Evans, and the money converted to
tlie use of the Imperial family.
Pere Hyacinthe has published a letter ex
pressing the wannest gratitude to the United
State Mer her prompt recognition of the Repub
lic. ' K ®Uhas been prevented by Illness from go
ing as a chaplain in the army. He also says
the letter, as addressed by Minister WaShbnrne
to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, is a page in
the history of liberty in both worlds. It revives
the memory of Washington and Lafayette, and
proves that if despotism succeeded in dividing
the two governments, liberty had not for a mo
ment ceased to unite the two nations. Europe
still keeps silent, while America, notwithstand
ing tlie Ocean separates us, makes her voice
heard.
Loxnox', Sept. 17.—Paris does not occupy
herself wholly with the defence of her walls.
General Yendy, at. the head of his army, lias/
commenced exterior operations and ma
—-jnnuvros—ta-prevarL Hre.-invasion., of.-depati
inents where the enetriy can seize provisions.
Two corps are ready for the west and centre
provinces.
The Comtltutionncl says a Pmssiau corps
will occupy Havre and Cherbourg.
Galir/riahi says : “In order to stop the latest
advance northeast at Xeuylly-sur-Marne, and
south at Cretiel. a force of sharpshooters suc
cesssfully Attacked the Prussians near Guidres.”
A Paris correspondent of the Time* writes to
the evening edition as follows: “ There are
those who think, it possible that France would
give up a portion of her fleet, pay the cost of
the war, raze the. walls of Strasbourg and
Metz, abolish the conscription, and • accept the
limitation of her army as the prices of peace,
but nobody believes that she will cede a foot of
territory.”
The Empress Eugenie is greatly annoyed
by the army of sight-seers, who follow her
and stare at her whenever she appears in
public.
HAviiE.Sept. 10.—The Journal says that the
docks at Havre are bvertasked. Cotton, coflee,
grain, and other goods, and even mahogany,are
being loaded rapidly on French vessels for ship
ment elsewhere, in order to save them from the
Prussians.
Loxnox, Sept. 10.—[Special to the New

drom Berlin, on Friday afternoon, as follows:
Duke William of Mecklenburg’s official reports
say that the capitulation of Laon took place on
the basis of that ot Sedan; arms to •bo laid
down, the .Guard Mobilo to. .be discharged on

to this city. Many officers,including the French
commander, remained in the yard of the cita

■Loxriox, Sept. 11l- I —[Special ; to the New
York Tribune.}— The French ure ordering im
mense quantities of arms and: ammunition
from England. Mr. Lowe, Chancellor of the
Exchequer, in a speech to-day 'at Elgin, pro
nounced in the strongest .manner -against In--
tervention or mediation between France and
Prussia in any form whatever. Intervention
means an abandonment of neutrality, but we
—haveaio-desire—wbateveivto-be—dri-ven-iutu-tu
- quarrel not of. .our... own seekiug.- I see no
■ reason whatever to apprehend that we. shall.
Mediation we tried before the- war, but when
J’ftU WUK. ttLßfeak of mediation aliSf the ShVLi
fias been drawn you get a totally different set
ot considerations. It is go . longer a
. question' qf the; rights of parties, but
ar question of relative " power. The
sword is an evil mediator, hut does
its work decisively, and if, after the parties
have called the sword in we were to begin to
. mediate, then we should he wearing our neu
i trality exceedingly thin. The . conflicting
nations know their own strength, and what
they require for security. If a third nation
tries to interpose between them, whatever
advice itr gives,” it must take sides withreithcr
one or the other, aud so cease to be neutral.
Should \ye advise Prussia to .be content with
less ilian she demands, we should be : actually
taking the part of France'against Prussia and
-thrawmg-ounmoiffi jveigbt~4nto ; -the» scale-ln
favor of France. Jf,' on the, other hand, we
advlsSd: Fraiice to accept' terms she deemed
inconsistent with her national dignity, we
should be talking the part of'Prussia, which, in
my judgment, we oughtto avoid.
PAtirs, Sept. 10, 0.50 P. M.—Tlie rappel has
just been sounded, and the Garde Mobile and
Garde Nationaic are called to anus, and the
sentinels doubled on the ramparts. The Prus
sians have been signaled. Several Uhlans,cap
tured at Meaux have! been bronght into the
the city by the gendarmes of Creteil.
In the morning an engagement took place
on the road from Melun to Brie-Comte-Robert,
between the sharpshooters and Prussians, tb,e
result of which is unknown; but many were
wounded. , - ■
The Mobiles are burning, by government or
ders, the hay aud wheat stacks abandoned by
the farmers, aud the clumps of trees on the
plains.
The employes of the Northern and Eastern
Railroads have been armed and exercised'in
the manual for service at the stations.
Immense quantifies of grain and fodder are
being brought I'iito the centre of Paris: from
the railway stations where they were stored.

on Sept. 10, noon: The Crown Prince has
iseued an eloquent proclamation to'- the German'
people to create a national fund for invalids.
Tlie royal beadquarteriTafe. at Meaux. The
armies are close on to Paris. Tlie march has

A correspondent at Paris writes on Wednes
day: night IT" "A'^wrylarge"force"df'regular
troops,'reported to he 80,000 strong, left Paris
to-night to act in the field. Great dissatisfac
tion still exists among the < I aide Mobile because
officers nominated by the Emperor have not yet
been removed, and the government is pressed
to make extensive changes. Wonderfully good
order prevails. There are no policemen, no
riois, no drunken men, nobody attacked, in
sulted,” or robbed.”
Paws, Sept. 10, 11 A. M.—A false alarm
"'as raised last night, which put the city into
great excitement.. The Mobiles were out' by
fiiousands in the quarter where they lodged,
and cries, “To arms!” were heard in every
street, and women were rushing to the doors
and flying through the streets. The National
Guard were running to the Mairies, ,and
the Mobiles were -dispersing themselves every
where.
-It is reported-that-the-Prussians-are attach
ing Vincennes and Charenton. At eleven
o’clock access to the I J lace de la Bourse was
stopjxjd by the Garde Mobile. The sesvers are
..being inspected in consequence of a report that
a quantity of petroleum was throwu into them.
An at tempt was made on the part of the dan
gerous classes recently expelled to re-enter
Paris by force. They found themselves
wedged between tlie forts, and the Prussian
advance. The National Guard defeated the
attempt. .
Yesterday some si? hundred Prussians ap-;
peared at Clamart, within gunshot of Fort.
Yanvres. They had crept under cover of
woods on the heights. The advanced guard
of the enemy has also been signalled at Creteil,
within shot of Fort Charonne, four kilometres
from Charenton. Barricades are being erected
here by the Garde Mobile, the people having

Ten Prussians were brought to the Champs
JSiysees last night at T 5 o'clock, among whom
were spies taken in the vicinity of Creteil. A
convoy of prisoners, and the munitions cap
tured with them, also arrived by the Eastern
Hailroad at k.ki) p. yt. yesterday.
The villages of tit. Maur les Fosses and Xo
gent-sur-Marue have been abandoned by their
inhabitants.
London, Sept. l(i.—in his last despatches
Gen. Ulrich commandant at Strasbourg, ad
mits that the situation is desperate.
Gen. Von Werther, the Prussian comman
der, defers the general assault on the city in
order that the garrison may not be uselessly
butchered.
Loxnox, Sept. ltj.—[Special to the New
1 ork Herald.] —A despatch from Brumath, 11
miles N. W. from Strasbourg, from a special
correspondent who came from the front at
Strasbourg yesterday,says that a heavy fire was
continued all day from the heavy guns on the
third parallel, causing great destmetion to the
walls and citadel. The effort to carry the for
tifications by storm will doubtless be made to
morrow. Several fires bad broken out in the
city from the ceaseless bombardment.
- Early -yesterday -morning a flag of truce was
displayed by the French, and it was hoped that
it meant a capitulation. The firing ceased,and
an officer and guard advanced towards the
Prussian lines, asking in the' name or General
Ulrich a cessation of the firing to enable a
party of females and a’few wounded civilians,
who bad come hither and persisted in remain
ing, to leave the city. The request was grant
ed. Some of the fugitives in conversation
state that the suflerings of the people were in
tense. ■? \ i :
The provisions ''arc served out in very limited
quantities, and the mortality and sickness
caused by the deprivations continued very great.
On the 14th the citizens made another appeal
to General Ulrich to yield to the inevitable
destiny. The commander replied that his posl-’
tioir was most painful, but.he must at - all haz
ards discharge his duty to his country.
A Paris despatch of to-day says that the ad
vance of the Prussians steadily' continued. I
Last night a large body of troops left the
walls and: proceeded in the direction of St.
Denis. It is believed that they intend to en
gage the advanced forces of the enemy, and re
treat towards the fortifications on the approach
of the main body.
The blockade of the Baltic and North Sea
ports' has bfeen officially raised. .
The Tferald's correspondent ..dined last night
with Victor Hugo, and his family. His two
sons, with their young wives, were
present. The illustrious writer, in reply to
some remarks, said many striking things, i He
said lie had come to Paris to share 1 the perils
of her citizens. He had no public role to fill.
Uis*poor presence on the ramparts might be
useful. He would go daily unarmed and
stimulate the ardor of the patriotic defenders
of the city. He regarded the attack on Paris
absurd as well as cruel. The war was liegun
against the EmperoY Now life }s a prisoner,
and the
servants, and sends us; who ; 'never". provoked - '
this "war, .bombshells. Never was there an act
so atrocious in history. I don’t know',” con
tinued he, as Ja cloud - overshadowed -his
face, “what part ’may fall to mj lot to
play before the awful drama- closes, but Paris
lias the choice of. determined defence and
cowardly surrender. If it though, itr
seems impossible, decide - upon the latter
course, I can only return-in exile to my old re
