The hCstr named contain the cable, the .second the, apparatus and batteries, and. the last named the posts upon w f l ) , ‘ Lh ';“ ■wires are fixed. They carry 20 English toiles of cable, and the average time it takes to lay it is three hours to every four miles. ; The process of laying is naturally the sci- ; ontific part of the arrangement, and is Con- ; touebedto the following manner: An intelligent . officer from the army,with some assistant under Sis intrusted with the general supervision of thC telegraph of each army,and to him is intrusted the task of directing where the main lino shall - ...inHcrides-on-aheadofthe jvflgons,whicb proceed at a footpace, the cable being passed out over a wheel, and indicates to the drivers by means of a piece of paper stuck on a Btick era blazed tree the direction they shall follow. In the meantime, the foot soldiers attached to the telegraph, who are selected from the regi ments for superior intelligence, and wear a dit ferent uniform* with a large T on the shoulder strap, are,divided into what isr called troops,or, in navy language, “ gangs,” of three men each. o» The first take the wire, as it is payed out, lay it on the ground, and on it a post every 100 yards; the; second coming after them, twist -the cable round the insulator, which ... Is " made of gutta percha* not glass, as -we are in the habit of using.anderect the posts in the;ground. -I his is a matter of great ease, they being 12 feet high, and about the thickness of the butt-end of ai Salmon rod, slightly tapering to wards the top. The third'trbop strain the wire, and as certain that it is clear of. all wood, &c., and, m short, .re runs clear.” I should mention that whenever it is possible trees are used as tele graph 'posts, and, by means of a light ladder, are easily ascended to the requisite height.. It fa altogether as perfect an arrangement as can he found. Thev all, however, complain that this war has tried them terribly, as, from the utter break up of the railways by the retreat ing army; enormous distances have to be tra versed before they can touch a main line. I forgot to mention that if necessary, and, in fact, always when on the ..field of battle, the telegraph is worked by a machine fixed inside one of the carriages. When, however, a house is obtainable, a room is instantly turned into an office. . The Field-Post which is without any excep tion the greatest blessing that a government ever gave an army, is composed as follows : Each Corps d’Armee has a head postmaster, Tinder whom are the following staff : Seven derks attached to the office of the headquarters, four at the headquarters of each division, and three with the artillery of each corps, - Besides this he has 14 letter-sorters and 17 postillions. The • headquarters ■ staff post of a .Corps - d’Armee has two wagons, one chaise, and one fourgon. The first ply with the letters,..the second carries the postmaster and his second when on the march, as well as'small parcels, and the third carries the luggage, such as tobies, chairs, sorting 7 boxes, Ac., necessary for the despatch of business. Each division of each corps has the same equipment, with the excep- Bon of the chaise. - ; In order to give additional facilities to the .soldier to write-to-ffis -fnends-tbo -authorities have issued cards to each regiment, on one side cf which is printed “Field-Post Correspondenz Karte. To and on the other side the letter is written in pencil or ink. If in the former, it is rendered perfectly secure against, being rubbed out by the application of a wet cloth across it, which, thanks to some preparation on the surface of the card, secures its legibility to the end of its journey. The number of letters sent off after a battle are almost incalculable. It is, indeed, calculated that every sixth person left conscious writes. In order that every chance of writing should be given, postillions ride over the Held with cards and a'pencil the day alter the bat tle, and any wounded man who is still there can either write or dictate his message home. I have seen them myself holding up their arms to attract the postillion’s attention even before they wave for the ambulance wagon. AM ORIGINAL SAINT. One of ttic Men WHO Sow the Ansel curing Joe Smith the Booh of Mor mon. 7 [From the Salt Lake News, Aug. 81. J Considerable interest has been felt by oar people in the arrival in this city of Martin Har ris, one of the three witnesses of the Book ol Mormon. He arrived here at 7.30 P. M. yes terday, in the company of Elder Edward Stevenson, who left this city on the 19th of July last for the purpose of bringing him out of Kirkland, Ohio, where he has been living since the Saints first moved there—lS31 — thirty-nine years ago. Brother Stevenson has bad a strong desire to have Martin Harris brought here. But he himself has thought for years that his mission was in Kirkland, he feel,-. ing that the Lord required him to stay there and bear testimony to the Book of Morin m and the first principles, which he has been earnest in doing, and he has felt reluctant to leave. But when Brother Stevenson corres ponded with him about coming out to the Val . ley, he replied that the spirit testified to him ' that he should come there, and in every letter that be afterward received from him he ex pressed a still stronger desire to come. Brother Stevenson made a collection, and after raising sufficient means, went to Kirkland and broeebt him on. Martin Harris is in his BStb year. He is re > markably vigorous for one of his years, and ! \ still retains the use of his faculties, his memory 1 being good, arid his sight, though his eyes ap * pear to have failed, being so acute that he can see to pick a pin oil the ground. He has ex perienced tqany changes and vicissitudes; but on one point, so far as we have heard, he has never changed; lie has never failed to bear tes i timony to the divide authenticity of the Book i of Mormon. He says it is not a matter of be lief on liis part, but of knowledge. He, with the other two witnesses, declared —and their testimony has accompanied every copy of. the book—“ that an angel of God came down i ___ from heaven, and he brought and laid before l - *’ ""'ourepsjlfiai atfdv SisWi ißd'fnSSßS; and the engravings thereon.” This declaration be has not varied from in forty-one years; and it is a remarkable fact that, though away from the church, and not maintaining their connec tion with’ the prophet Joseph Smith, not one of the three witnesses has ever failed, so far as jkdo.wn, Id hear testimony to the truth of their united declaration contained in the Book of . Mormon! Deny' whatever they might of other points of doctrine of Joseph’s authority, or of - bi« management, they have never denied the testimony winch they have given to the world concerning the Book of Mormon! We are glad to see Martin Harris once more in the midst of the Saints. He feels that this people are led by God, that they are a happy and a blessed people, and have the appearance S~ *4l3sl§?±? of enjoying GodViavor.

EIHHIi 9ARTYKGD VIBBINS OF ▼ EIUIU.N* Capitulation of a French Town to the Prussians;—A Had Episode. Just 78 years ago—that'is, on-the 3d of September, 1792—the town of Verdun opened Its gates to the Prussian army, which had been besieging it for three days under the command of the Duke of Brunswick. As General Kalkreuth and the Prussian princes were riding back from the town on their way to the camp, after ratifying the con ditions of the surrender, an oilicer of their suite, the Count of Henkle, lieutenant in Kceh’-- ler’s hussars, was shot dead in the street by somebody firing out of a barber’s window. Whether this murder was the result .of an ac cident, or an idle freak, or a pieee of misplaced patriotism has never, been correctly ascer tained; but the occurrence led indirectly to that most melancholy drama of the revolutionary annals which Delille, Lamartine and . Victor Hugo have all sung as the “ martyrdom of the virgins of Verdnn,” . . They were eight in number these virgins of Verdun, and their tale is indeed a pitiful one. The* news of the murder, had .no sooner spread through the town than immonse consternation seized hold of .everybody, and of course the Mayor was among the first, to gallop after Kalkreuth, aud assure him that every reparation should be accorded if only the Prussians would take a merciful view of the .unlucky affair. But the General, who was scared and furious, answered that the rules of war were peremptory, that the shot had been meant for him, and that Verdun knew now what it had to expect. One can cdncieve tile dismay of the Mayor and panic among the citizens, who at once made sure that the Prussians would come aud massacre them all, and afterwards put their towu to the sack—no unlikely contingency as times went. In the midst of the confusion, while everybody was wringing bis or her hands, and uttering lamentations, a lady stepped forward aud suggested that, as a means of mollifying : the King, a deputation of the prettiest girls lof Verdun should be chosen to offer 1 a corbeille of bonbons to his Majesty. The i idea of presenting a basket of sweetmeats to a tough, grimy old soldier was not, perhaps, the i most appropriate that could have been devised, ! but it was accepted by the Verdunites with en- I thusiasm, and eight young ladies were imine ’ diately designated as legates —their names ! were Sezanne, Gabrielle, and Barbe Henry, , daughters of M. Henry, President du Bailhage de Verduu; Anne, Henriette, and Helene Wa trin, daughters of a retired officer ; Margue rite-Angelque La Girorisiere daughter of the Keeper of the Woods and Forests of the 1 province; and Claire Tabouillot, daughter of a I magistrate. They were all “of radiant I beauty,” say the Crown Prince’s memoirs; ‘ the eldest of them was not more than three and-twenty, and the two youngest were only sixteen'. A subscription was raised «u the spot to buy a handsome casket, the Baroness de Lalince, aunt of the sisters Henry, offered herself as chaperon, and the nine ladies were soon on tlieir way to the camp in the Baron ess’s coach—a fact which, by-the-by, speaks well for the capacity of vehicles in those days. One would scarcely imagine that in such a simple proceeding as this bonbon em bassy to the King of Prussia lurked all the ele ments of a future indictment for treason; aud yet so 'it was, and the unfortunate box of sweetmeats was fated to cost tliree-aud-thirty persons their heads. The King refused the present, but there is very little doubt that it saved Verdun from pillage; for, although Frederick William 11. showed himself cold,aud | even harsh, to the deputation, there is his sou’s authority for believing that he was very much struck w'ith the beauty of the young girls, aud had not the heart to consign them to the fate which would inevitably have been theirs had Verduu been abandoned to his soldiery. The French, however, were then even fuller of the Prussian spy mania thanj, Lliey are now. Everybody who was not a saus-culotte in those blessed days of freedom was accounted sold to the foe, and upon the evacuation of Verdun by the Prussians, after-Valmy ant\”J6minapes, the eielit “ Virgins of Verdun,” their mothers, Udine, du Balance, and twehty one old gentlemen who had sub scribed for the bonbons, were arraigned before' 1 the revolutionary tribunal on the charge of having “delivered the town of Verdun to the Prussians, aided and abetted the. success of their arms, on French territory, and conspired with them to destroy liberty, to dissolve the national representation, and to restore des potism.” It. may-be mentioned incidentally principal causes that sent Louis XVI. to the scaffold. Then, as now, it was pretty much the way with, the French to believe that . .... _______ whenever they were-beateu it was their king’s BUILDING AND HOUSEKEEPING fault, not.their own; so when the ill-starred 1 -n-rvrrr .__ monarch pleaded that he really could not help i TT A | | Y\/ A K.

Barhe Henry was released after the fall-of’ Robespierre, and subsequently married a Colonel Mealier; but both her sisters, her mother; and her aunt were executed, along with the other -young girls who had carried the sweetmeats to Frederick, ■ William,and the twenty old gentlemen who had i subscribed to the' gift, live of, whom were over, \ seventy.

The great library Of Strasbourg, is, utterly destroyed—hot a printed book o»» manuscript saved, the sheila falling so .fast for hours before I the catastrophe that it was impossible for any 1 one to approach the building. It is said to | have contained two hundred volumes, which may be replaced; but the loss Ot the ■ manuscripts is a veritable calamity; The most! celebrated of these MSS. was the copy,of the “Tacticiens Grecs,” mention of which will he found in the Introduction of I the “ Polioi - cetique des Grecs,” published for the Govern ment. and printed at the Irfiprimerie'lmperial e of Paris, in 1861. This manuscript was con sidered so precious that nothing coUld -prevail upon its custodians at Strasbourg to allow it to be taken to-Pafis/and; Mr. Wesher, .the editor of the “ Poliorcetique,” was forced to‘ go and study it in the Strasbourg Library.' Among the other manhscrip£s , 'lost, ath'a number of early translations of the Bible, and a large and valuable collection of pamphlets; and broad sheets relating to the religious movement of the sixteenth century. , Around,-,the ruins of the great library-lie. those of,the library of the Protestant Seminary and those of the Protes tant Gymnasium, rebuilt only four years since by means of subscriptions from all parts o •the-world—i According to Herr Julian Sdhmidt, the part nership' of Erckmann-Chatri.au consists of M. Emile. Erckmann,, bprn. at Pfalzburg in 1822, and M. Alexandre Ohatrian, born near the same town in 1820. Erckmann came to Paris in 1842 to study law, but made little way with it; M. Ohatrian was first employed in a Belgian glass manufactory, then set ; up as a teacher at Pfalzburg, and came to Paris in 1852. -It was then the two became friends arid engaged jointly iri literature, which M. Erck mann had already tried alone, but unsuc cessfully. The Athencciim says: . “We have received a . letter from Messrs. Peterson, of Philadelphia, complaining that one of our American correspondents has called Messrs. Ticknor & Fields Mr._ Dickens’s au thorized publishers in America. They say that, as they have bought the fights of several publishers who had paid Mr, Dickens, consi derable, sums for advanced sheets, , they are the < authorized’ publishers. We have no wish to revive an old controversy, and we need only remark that Messrs. Peterson appear to attach an unusual meaning to the term ‘ autho- rized.’ •* ' There is nothing uncommon in the claim of Messrs. Peterson to_,be the publishers. of the «authorized” American edition of Charles j Dickens. Besides having collected, with toil- , some exactitude, the minor ' writings of the author; which make their issue the only com- , plete one in the country, their edition is “ au- | thorized” by the highest known authority—that j of law. They paid fairly. | —Mr. E. L.

Were his decision, remarks the leecuinp cen trolled exclusively by public consideration, and not at all by personal ones, it would be. prer cisely what it is ; for it would be far easier to supply even a university chair so exacting as that of history with a thorough scholar and an accomplished lecturer, than a jourual like the Nation with another journalist at once so candid, judicious and eilicient as its present editor. Germany’s Right to Alsace and Lorraine. The Provincial Correspondence ot Aug. <5l publishes an article headed “ Germany s Wishes with regard to Alsace and Lorraine, in which it is said : These provinces, which were torn away from the German' Empire, have become Prance’s chief points of support for menacing attacks upon Germany. How should it be pos sible,after the glorious victories of the German army, after the reconquest of two old German provinces,, and after the heavy and costly sacrifices by which our triumph has been gained, how should it he possible to avoid the irresistible conviction that the honor and the safety of Germany imperatively demand the removal of the lastingshamo—a German coun try serving as a starting point for German en slavement ? The European Powers, true to the attitude of neutrality which they have as sumed, will not arbitrarily endeavor to arrest the consequences of the war, so longas no sub stantial European interest is not injured by the conditions of the treaty of peace. The German people, however, is conscious that in its dfeinand it dots not aim at any prepon derance over other nations which might en danger the so-called European equilibrium, but that it seeks only a firmly-established peace, which itjinteiKls to wring tor itself and for other nations from the old enemy of the peace of Europe. • VST ANTED—-FOKA MONTH, IN THE W country, near tlie city, a Tutor competent to ten'll Latin.

London, Sept. 24. —The conference between Jules Favre and Count Bismarck, at Ferrieres, which promised an amicable adjustment of the difficulties between France and Prussia, has suddenly closed,- and M. Favre has returned to Paris with the object of his mission unaccom plished. He formally declined the terms of peace proposed by Bismarck as too exacting, and the goes on. The effect of this announcement has been very prostrating in Paris.’ This afternoon M. Favre made explanation; of the terms which Bismarck proffered on be half of the Prussian Government, and whidi he (Favre) indignantly rejected on account of their arrogance. M. Ho Bismarck’s demands are as follows; First —That France should concede an armistice.- Second —That France should surrender the < fortresses of Strasbourg, upon the Rhine, and Toul and Verdun, upon the , Moselle, thereby giving to the Germ aas the advantage of free transportation of provisions of war by the great routes through France. . M. Favre immediately, and without reserva tion, rejected these proposals, so derogatory to the honor of France. He refused to treat upon such terms,.. even.. with . modifications. As second officer of the Republic he could accept no terms involving the loss of territory. He wonjd accept the inevitable cimsequences'of a, refusal rather than France should sutler by a loss of honor and self-esteetn. The interview then terminated with mutual expressions of feeling upbn the part of the ne- , ' M. Favre was courteously treated, and was furnished with an escort to conduct him be yond the Prussian lines. He returned safely to Paris.

They attempted to restore order. They were opposed by the, outlaws. Fighting ensued in the streets.’ The troops fired on the mob. They were, perhaps, replied to, and hence the noise of the fnsilade which was heard outside the fortifications, as- stated in your first despatch... - The‘result of the military action is not stated -by the writer. It could. not, indeed, be koown with liny degree of exactitude. . The environs of Paris. are a mass ,of ruins. From thef gates at Neuilly to Les Terres all the houses have been completely destroyed. The church Which was raised to the memory of the late Duke of Orleans has shared the same fate. London, Sept. 24, Evening.—The districts of Belleville, L'a Chapelle ana La Villette pre sent a most uninviting, dangerous appearance* Throughout the entire line of boulevard just named I have met hundreds of “ roughs,” surg ing to and fro. Every single “ rough” whom I passed carried his fusil or short carbine, or a gun. This constituted a very strange sight in Paris, where, just witbina few weeks past, the carrying of weapons of any kind by private in dividuals had been forbidden, except they were borne under cover .of a' special permit signed by the Prefect Pietri. Several canes and “ knuckle-dusters” were stealthily carried and worn by the more respectable wayfarers for the purpose of protection against the gafroters who frequent the purlieus. ;■ . ; .. 4 may say with-great truth- tbit atftbis very present moment we sleep in Paris with Chasse pots in our beds and sit down to our food on bayonets.. Every ruffian can obtain a weapon, just fbr the trouble of asking it, andtliis, state of affairs, as you may be assured, create the deepest apprehensions among the people who have, anything to lose—makes them fear for their lives. Prison-birds and old marauders of- every de gree in crime are already beginning to “show their teeth” in the streets- Three days since a member of the Garde Mobile, who was drinking in a wine shop, happened to take -a- fifty-franc- bill from -bis pocket, and exposed it. Leaving the place he was followed bv the roughs, “.dogged,” robbed and murdered fnbroad daylightaud-wit.bin the city encihde. 'J [ / Yesterday two noncommissioned officers were stabbed at 3 o’clock in the afternoon by two miscreants who were posted in the out skirts of. the city. House btirglaries are committed hourly and with impunity. The stock of provision in the city is hus banded pretty carefully, but the prices of the articles are being gradually increased. , Crime will soon stalk abroad with the most giant strides. The “people” are revelling in the full enjoyment of, their own maiesty, and'take every opportunity of - exhibiting their might. The antipathy to imperialism which is felt on 1 the one hand, with the dread which is enter tained of the Prussians on the other, produces very much annoyance to the well-disposed citizens. Berlin, Sept. 25, Evening.— A conference , was held between Count Von Bismarck and Jules Favre on Monday and Tuesday last. It was devoted entirely to an attempt to arrange a truce pending the meeting of the Constituent Assembly. Bismarck exacted the surrender of Strasbourg, Toul and Verdun, in order that the communications of the German forces might be secured from danger ; "during the truce.' ' , ... , „ The French Minister declined these reasona ble conditions. No demand was made for the surrender of the fortress of Mont Valerien, near Paris. Tours, Sept. 25.—Ministers Gambetta and Ferry have addressed the following nota from Paris to Cremieux, Minister of Justice : “ Paris is prepared to make a heroic resistance. All parties have united to sustain with energy the government 1 of defence; : Should you hear through Prussian despatches that troubles have broken out in Paris, deny it. We have an enormous force of National and Mobile Guards and troops of the line, with munitions and provisions enough to hold out all winter; : Let France make a heroic effort.” , London, Sept.iJS.—'The commanders of the German force investing Paris have stationed their headquartersr as. follows: The King at Meaux, the Prince Albrecht at Burnoy, the Crown Prince of Prussia 1 at -Fontainebleau, the Crown Prince of SaSbnyat Bezours, and General Falkenstein at Choisy Le Roi,. , . The rumor of thq approach of the Prussians to'Orleans created the greatest terror. The railway service was stopped when there was not the slightest danger. The disorganization is veiy general, and the press universally con dems this want of discipline. It is reported that the Duke d’Aumale will be a candidate for the Constituent Assembly from Cbarente. ' ( 1 Berlin, Sept. 25.—An • official 'despatch, dated at Ecouen on September 24, says: By tho capitulation of Toul there fell into our hands iOO officers,*2,24o; men, 120 Horses, an eagle, 107 guns, including 48 rifled canpon, -3;000 rifles, 3,080 sabres and 500 cuirasses, and a large supply of ammunition, bombs,and other War material. • - Berlin, Sept. 24.^-Six' hundred and fifty ■ thousand German troops are now on French »i l (harite«jssGnsist i Ss^ty!i’.ep. f Very few.

' - It is'announced from FerriereSj by way of: Meaux, that, Bismarck categorically denies the, representations contained in the proclamation of the French government at Tours as to the conditions by which ~an armistice would be granted by Prussia. Bismarck says ho made rio exorbitant; demands as a preliminary of peace. Upon the contrary,.he states he only asked the' surrender of the-fortresses of Toul, Verdun, and Strasbourg. .
