New York, August 30. —A corres. pondent of the London Standard who writes from Verdun on Tuesday morn- ing. thus describes the battle which took place at Metz on Sunday August 14th. Atone o'clock on Sunday after noon the French army, 180,000 strong, was encamped all around Metz. Ata quarter past four the attack commen- ced. A heavy fire of artillery was at once heard in every direction. The the Prussian Landwehr headed the Prussian Corps d’Armee. A battery of artillery with a mitrail- | leuse was making fearful havoc in the | Prussian ranks. I heard frantic bra- | vos announcing its new exploits. The | fire was so welf directed, and the pre- | cision was so great that each hire was | positively mowing the Prussian ranks | | who were fighting in a desperate way, | | their artillery replying to the other and | destroying French battalions right | and left. At seven o'clock this afternoon the Prussians were making a movement of | retreat.” A mitrailleuse had been twice taken from the French, and although | | it was unly one of a hundred of the incidents of the battle, 1 mention it as it led to an important result. For the | last hour one of the greatest eflorts of the French had for its object to dis. | lodge the Prussians from the woods of | Borny, they being protected hy that natural rampart. A brave Colonel of | the 44th infantry, second division, in | recalling the mitrailleurs, was the cause of an immense body of Prussians emerging suddenly from the woods and throwing themselves as an infuriated torrent on the French division. It was only a pretext, for it was expected the Prussians would follow the same tac- tics as at Forbach and Faschweiller, which consists of keeping out of sight their masses, and their. best divisions, and when the result of the battle seems in favor of their opponents to change defeat into victory by that powerful movement of immense bodies of troops, plunging suddenly on the enemy. But this time Bazaine had prepared a match for them. The Imperial Guard commanded by Bourbaki, had been kept in reserve, and their artillery, from its strong position, begau the de- fensive. The grenadiers advanced, and from that moment till 8:45, you might have thought you were in the middle of an eruption of Mount Vesu- vius, fort De Quentin sweeping with its powerful batteries the flank of the advancing colunms ; regiments of cav- alry charging on the wings—at quar- ter to nine the Prussians retreating leaving from 23,000 to 24,000 men hors du combat. The French have Jost close on 4,000 men killed and wounded ; 140,000 Prussians took part in the fight, against 70,000 French. It was positively owing to Fort Quentin slaughtering the enemy. The Guard, except its artillery, and a bricade of grenadiers did not fight, the were held in reserve. General De Caen has been wounded in the leg. General De Cas- tagnay had an arm cut, and Marshal Bazaine received a slight contusion on the head. I heard that the sights of the Champs de Battaile were horrible in“ the morning. In retiring they marched over dead bodies which were in heaps in some spots. HEROIC INCIDENTS. . A special correspondent writes from Saarbruck, August 18th: In Tues day’s action the Seventh Cuirassiers charged two regiments of French in- fantry, cutting their way through them. They then found themselves opposed to a battery of six guns, which they took possession of. The Cuirassiers were now charged by two regiments of French Carbiniers on both flanks. Wheeling to right and left the Prus- sians met them and after a desperate hand to hand fight, drove back the French cavalry and brought off six guns together with two eagles, This brave seventh went into action 800 strong, 147 only survive; all the offi- cers were killed. The survivors say now, with a terrible determination, “wait till we get to Chalons, and we will show the French what the three fifties can do.” ANOTHER BATTLE—THE FRENCA VIC- TORIOUS, Berlin, August 30, 8 p. m,—The French army, under General Mac- Mahon, is to day engaged with the Fourth Prussian Army «Corps, under the Prince of Saxony. “ Brussels, August 31—Dispatches re- ceived here from Mezieres, adjacent to the Belgian frontier, state that a bat- tle has been fought at Carignan, in the Department of the Ardennes, between a flying column of the Fourth German Army Corps of the Crown Prince of Saxony and a part of MacMahon’s ary. The battle is said to have re- CF HALL i A A, 5 AIRE SO HI AT SA glans, Paris, Angust 50,—General Mae. Mahon has a force estimated at a hun. dred and cighty thousand, while Ba. zaine has a hundred thousand. The Thirteenth corps of fifty thousand, recruited in this city, has left Paris to join MacMahon. Prince Frederick Charles’ army is estimated at a hundred thousand, Steinmetz’'s one hurdred and twenty thousand, and the total force of the Crown Prince one hundred and fifty thousand. MacMahon is operating against Frederick Charles’ and Stein- metz's armies and now hopes to* join Bazaine and strike a blow before the Crown Prince arrives. MaeMahon has forty cight hours start of the Prince, It is affirmed that King William, with an important foree, is still march- ing by.the Upper Marne and Meuse, It is said the government has decided to remove the Ministries of War and the Interior from Paris.

Stuttgart, August 30.—Information received here to day states that the garrison of Strasburg is on the eve of capitulation, Carlsrube, August 14. — Re from the besiegers investing Stras state that the siege has been been con- tinned with redoubled force since the pons urg The Prus- ward quite up to the outworks of Strasburg. Guns are mounted and The citizens of Strashurg, who have They state that | : I'he sufferings of the people are | They spend | i are exploding in the very centre of the town. Food of every description has risen to a fabulous height. Potatoes are sold at twenty francs per pound, and the inhabitants are compelled, in the absence of beef cattle, to subsist on horse-flesh. General Ulrich, the General of a division, commanding the Strasburg garrison, undauntedly declares that he will not surrender, even though the town is reduced to ashes. The Baden troops have placed in position one hundred and sixty poun- ders, and the fire from this heavy ord- nance has been opened upon the city with tremendous effect. A general conflagration is now re ported to be sweeping through the city of Strasburg. Fifty thousand Germans are beseig- ing Strasburg. The valuable Municipal library has been destroyed by the conflagration. ater accounts of the battles of Tuesday and Wednesday have been received here, from whichitappearsthat the Prussians attacked M’Mahon’s ar- my upon both banks of the Meuse, assailing both wings with fierceness, simultaneously. The first battle was fought southwest of Carignan, the Prussians upon the right bank, M’Mahon’s right marching from Vaux towards Montmedy. The Prussians at once delivered bat- tle to the French, which ended by the Prussians driving the French to and beyond Carignan, which latter town was taken by the Prussians. It is supposed another Prussian corps attacked a part of M’Mahon’s army remaining upon the left bank of the Meuse, and having routed them, drove them northward back upon Se- dan. The engagement at Carignan was probably fought by the troops compos: ing the Fourth Prussian army corps, under the Crown Prince of Saxony. The battle upon the left bank was probably breught on by advanced forces of the Crown Prince of Prussia’s army. The Independence Belge, of Brussels, of yesterday says that M’Mahon, while on the heights of Vaux on Tuesday, advancing to Montimedy, was attacked by the Germans and flung back with dreadful carnage. This region of country is now absolutely depopula- ted. This corresponds with the Prussian account of the action near Beaumont reported late last evening. The Bavarians are returning home and disbanding. A mutiny has oe- curred among some of the regiments of the Bavarian landwehr. Another battle is reported at Ar- migny on August 30. No particulars or report of the result have been re- ceived, Pottsville, August 29.—A terrible accident occurred about seven o’clock this morning at Preston Slope, No 3, Girardville, by which six men were killed outright, and another was hope- lessly wounded, The cage got off the track, and the wagon containing the seven men was thrown off by coming in contact with the top timber, which precipitated them to the bottom of the slope, a distance of about one hundred : Negro Voting in Kentucky. 5 Times describes the appearance of some te | last Monday, wis in Kentucky during the election He says: ged her entire population into the streets of Lexington.

But as it was six months in arrears, the congregation determined to give him a “donation party,” to help him along. It came off—the donation party did. The entire flock was on hand, but the presents that were brought were only six rolling-piss, a pen-wiper and a quarter of a peck of dried apples, crop of 1864. The minister, of course, had to fur- nish refreshments; and the company not only discouraged four hams, three and a half pounds of sixty cent but- ter, and thirteen loaves of bread, but they ate up two pounds of sugar and all next winter’s preserves. To crown all, four spoons were mis- sing. The clergyman says he wants to have just one more donation party, and then he will close up his business and begin life over again as champion pauper at the alms-house. He is particularly down on one sis- ter who jammed herself full of ham, and preserves, and enough other suc- culent diet to keep the entire family for a week, and then laid up against the wall pretending to feel religious, and singing. “There is rest for the weary.” He is willing to accept bets that she will never weary while there is any grub about—this sister won't.

Tliree Men Killed in a Cemetery By + Lightning. : At noon, on Monddy, in the town of Freeport, Armstrong county, a young mau the son of Mr. Goering, of Freeport, died; and his body laid in his fathers house awaiting burial. In the afternoon, Mr. Goe-ing, accompanied by three sons and William Hine# went about four o'clock to the eemetery on the hi | side, back of the town, to select a site for the grave of t¥y desd mun. While they were there the storm, which visited our city with such fury, came upon them in all its forge. Lodis Goering, one of the brothers; and William Hines, stood together under one umbrella, Jacob Goering stood by himself under another. The father and the third brother stood together without any. A flash of lightning and a deaf ning eraph ot thunder came simultancously, and did such sad and terrible work as is rarely re- corded. Louis and Jacob Goering and Wim. Hines were instantly killed, and the fitler and his remaining son were severe shocked. It is believed that the mete) ferules on he dnibrella tops attfisted the’ lightning which killed the unfortunate holders. Thus, in one day, three brothers were taken away by death, and another family was made desolate by the sudden to accept more reasonable terms than were agreeable to either Bismark or | his Royal master, and in the Luxem- bourg affair, Prussia was outmanoeu- | vered by Napoleon, and forced to ace- cede to his terms. These events were the pioneers of | the present war. Austria out of the way, France, alone, stood the antag onist of Prussia in Central Europe, and Napoleon held the reins of power in that empire. He hated Prussia for what she done, feared her for what she might do. Both nations were armed | to the teeth. Each had been prephir. ing for the contest, and stood like Knights of old, with visors down and lances at rest. The Prim intrigue in relation to the throne of Spain, whs seized upon as an excuse for a quarrel, That was accepted as a sufficient pre- text for breaking the peace of Europe, Napoleon demanded not only a with- drawal of the Hohenzoliern' Prince from the candidature, but a pledge from the King of Prussia, as head of the Prussian Empire, that at no time would one of that family allow his name to be used in connection with’ the throne of Spain. This William would not give. Then came the dec laration of war on the part of France, the march of the French forces to the frontiers of the Kingdom, and the dis- astrous battles, which have virtually dethroned Napoleon and opened a road by which the Prussians may reach the capital. > With France thus prostrate, the Crown Prince, speaking for Prussia, announces that war is waged against the Iimperor, id not the people of France—that the latter have nothing whatever to fear. If this declaration be taken in its literal sense, the ques- tion is started, why does Prussia con- tinue the war? The Napoleonic dy- nasty is at an end.—Both in State and military matters, the influence of the Emperor is gone. In Paris the Com- mittee of Deense is potential, In the army, Bazaine and Trochu rule with supreme power. Napoleon is merely a figure head of the nation, to be tak- en down when the proper time has arrived for putting up a new one. If Prussia quarreled with Napoleon, fears Napoleon, distrusts Napoleon, these grounds of disquietude are re moved—practically removed, and Bis- marck or William can reach the French people and treat with their representatives. That path is open, and the Prussians can take advantage of it, if they are so disposed. A cessa- tion of hosti'ities for such a purpose would make Prussia stronger instead of weaker, if the fight was renewed. But does not the Crown Prince's proe- lamation mean, that Prussia will not make war upon the “people of France” i case the people submit to the de- mands of that pewer in all particu- lars? Suppose that @Napoleon was exiled, like bis uncle, aml France should declare for a Republic, would Prussia agree to the change? she withdraw ber troops and allow the people to elevate a President and the flag of free France at the same time? Prussia helped to dismember Poland, and still holds her slice of of that Kingdom. Prussia aided in forcing a Bourbon King upon the throne of France after Waterloo, In neither of these instances did Prussia consult the wishes of the people, and by these lights must the recent procla- mation “be read and interpreted. Have the people of France nothing to fear from a Prussian conquest of that Kingdom? The vast majority of Frenchmen are in favor of a Repub= lic. They want a government based upon the will of the masses. They are tired of Kings, crowns and scep ters, of laws decreed by one man, and enforced by the bayonet.

Mrs Catharine Hippledied at Monrovia, Kansas, on the 22d of Febraary, 1866, in the sixty fifth year of herage. She was buried’ there on the 24th. In December, 1868, her husband died at his home in Tremont, Schuylkill county, Penntylvania, request- ing that his wife's remains be brought and’ buried by his side in Tremont cemetery. On the 20th of Feliruary, 1860, thtee years alter the mother had been buried, her grave was opened, and after the removal of the covering ofthe outer coffin it was discovered that both coffins were filled with a dark colored water, and on raising the coffin to the surface of theeurth, they foufid it tobe remarkably heavy. : i 1 The coffin was emptied of the water, and on examination’ of the body it was pro- nounced by those present comple: ely petri: fled. The color of the face and hand’ was, perhaps, two :hades darker than natural, and some what resemblinga varnished ser. face. The features were as full and per- fect as when she was alive, so that all who hak n0wn her, and cameto see her remains, | instantly recognized the well remembered couitenance. The bod y remained exposed to atmospheric influence Jor four days, in, order tonscertain whether change would tase place, preparatory to its transporta- tion eastward. No change whatever was manifest. The remains were roughly Fandled at all tiansfer points, were trans- ferred tourteen hu dred miles by rail, and before the burial at Tremont the body was again examined, by Dr. Prevost, of that place, and found to be thoroughly petrified and in the same condition us it was when’ taken out of the grave.
