The London Standard’s correspond- ent furnishes the following particulars of the first battle near Metz —that of Sunday, August 14—in addition to those received by cable: At 1 o'clock on Sunday alternoon, the French army, 180,000 men strong, was encamped all around Metz, Since the day previously a battle was con sidered as imminent. Several attempts had been made to draw the enemy out of the woods they occupied. The Prus sian army of Prince Frederick Charles, or rather the corps, now united, of Field Marshal Steinmetz, 150,000 men strong, bad taken its position on the road to Boulay, at the point intersect- ing that to Borny, The road irom Bellenor and Borny up to the forest of that place was occupied by the] Prussians, part of their divisiuns being | concealed by the woods, Skirmishing | had been going on all the morning, but it was probable that a serious en- gagemert would take place At 1:30 the French troops received orders to retreat from their position, to go in the direction of Verdun, it was said. At two o'clock the avant garde division were crossing the Moselle on a pontoon bridge thrown across a few hours pres viously, and the luggage, material and provisions of the army were crossing | the other bridges in the direction of Longueville. The equipages of the | Emperor had already left, and Prince | Napolcon first, and half an hour after the Emperor himself, were leaving | Metz on horseback in the same direc. | tion.

At half past four the attack commenced. A heavy fire of artillery was at once heard in every direction, the soldiers of the Prussian landwehr heading the Prussian corps d’armee, The mitrailleuses began their deadly work on each side. For me, confusion all around—men falling in every di- rection, columns whirling around us, bullets whirling their deadly work through the ranks. It is awful to be cool in the middle of such a bloody holocaust; the cries of the wounded, the imprecations of the falling soldiers, the rage of their friends—all seem franticand demoniacal ; but no,it is not the nightmare, a friend of my infancy is close by me at the head of his bat. talions, the well known Baron de Vat- rv, commander of the Voltigeurs de la Garde; he reminds me of the danger I am incurring without reason ; but his words sound like a mamur of the wind; he himself disappears in the smoke, and I continued to look and be near'y certain that I should not come back to tell you my tale. A battery of artils lery with a mitrailleuse was making fearful havoc in the Prussian rank-, I heard frantic bravos announcing its new exploits. The fire was so well di rected, the precision so great that each fire was positively mowing the Prus- sian army, who were fighting in a des- perate way, their artillery replying to the other, and destroying French bat- talions right and left, At seven o'clock the Prussians were making a movement of retreat. A mitrailieuse had been twice taken from the French, and al- though it is only one of the hundreds of incidents of the battle, I wention it as it led to an important result. For the last hour one of the greatest efforts of the French has had for its object to dislodge the Prussians from the woods of Borny, their troops being protected by that natural rampart. The brave colonel of the For'y fourth infantry, Second division, in retaking the mit- railleuse, was the cause of an immense body of Prussians emerging suddenly from the woods, and precipitating themselves as an infuriated torrent on the French divisions; it was only a pretext, for it was expected that the Prussians would follow the same tac- tics as at Forbach and Freschweiller, Imperiale. | corps which congists of keeping out of sight { at HALL —— on can gi i — —————— A] a S—————— - a ——— —————— —— — . oy a gg ————— their masses. their best divisions; and when the result of the battle seems to be in favar of thee opponents, to change defent into victory by that powerful movement of immense bodies of troops plunging suddenly on the enemy ; but this time Marshal Bazaihe had prepared a watch for them.

Fort de Quentin sweeping with its powerful batteries the funk of the advancing columns, regiments of cavalry charging on the wings, ata quarter to nine precisely the Prussians were retreating, leaving from 23,000 to 24,000 men hors de combat. The Freuch have lost 4,000 men killed or wounded, One hundred and forty thousand Prussians took part in the fight against 70,000 Frenchmen (positively). Ow- ing to the Fort Quentin slaughtering the enemy, the gunrd, except its artil- lery and a brigade of grenadiers, did not fight. They were kept in reserve to the last. During the combat the rest of the French army whs retiring on the route to Verdun, and at nine o’- clock I followed the Imperial Guard, retreating in the same direction, the day’s work over. A FRENCH ACCOUNT OF THE SAME EN- GAGEMENT--NAPOLEON'S NARROW ESCAPE FROM CAPTURE. The correspondent of the Paris Fi garo gives the following description of the battle of Sunday, August 14: On taking command Marshal Ba zaine, seeing the country invaded on three sides by the armies of Prince Frederick Charles, Prince Frederick William and Marshal Steinmetz, con- templated uniting the scattered French troops at Metz in order to be able to confront the enemy. One point in this movement was at Borny, a small village at the junction of the Boulay, St. Avold and Forbach roads. the enemy advanced, confident of tri. umph after Lis easy victory at Styring. While, therefore on Sunday, August 14, the enemy had decided to cross the Moselle and leave Metz behind him, a great movement was taking place in the French camp. Gen. Ladmiraunlt was preparing to turs Metz on the north, and thus separate himself from General De Caen, who would enter the city, when the enemy, who was well ‘GENERAL ELECTION PROULAMATION, ———— i —— | inspectors of election, or any one of them shall receive or consent to roceive any such unlawful ballot or ballots fram any such digguahtied person, he or they so offend- 4 ~ TR a A No. 21. gr as in all other cases, his occupation: resis dence, wether a boarder or a housekeeper ; if a boarder, with whom be boards; an whether naturalized or designing to | Assembly of the Commonwealth of Peun- dylvania, entitled, “An act relating to eloc- | tiung | i the 2d dav of July, A.

This was the work of the French mitrailleuses. It must be said, however, that the Prus- sian steel cannon did us considerable damage. It was the battle of Borny that the Emperor spoke of in his dis- patch dated Longueville, the evenin of the 14th. This battle riba. with our passage of the Moselle, which it enabled us to do, since it prevented three Prussian corps advancing togeth- er, but it occurred twelve miles from where the dispatch would make it be suppozed it took place. The Emperot deft Metz at 3:30 on the same Sunday as the battle, and re- paired to Longueville, a small village on the road towards Verdun and Nan« cy, and stopped there with Colonel Henocque. His staff’ encamped in the neighboring fields. Being, as ustial, well informed on his movements, the Prussians designed to capture the Em. eror. During the fight they were hid in the small cluster of trees around the Frescaty chateau, and on the Orly Maison Rouge farms before Longue. ville. On the 15th the Prussians sent a squadron of Uhlans across the rail- road bridge, while they directed the fire of their guns on the village of Moalins, situated to the left of Longue- ville, and also on the road on the right, in order to cut off’ relief. But our engineers blew up the bridge; un der fire, and the Uhlans, finding their line of retreat cut off, surrendered without striking a blow. During this movement Fort St. Quentin, which commands that side, sent some balls to the Prussian batteries which surpassed their fire. It was the first act of the Garde Mobile, and it was an auspicious one. oe > Titusville, August 25.—During the severe thunder storm this afternoon two men whose mames are unknown, while drilling on a well at Shamburg, were struck by lightning and instant. ly killed. lil > tlie PP A dose of Iowa whisky killed a wa- ter-snake a foot long, which had slip- ed down the throat of a farmer while at least one year; und in the election dis- trict where he offers to vote at least ten days immediately preceding such election, an. within two years paid a tate or coun- ty tux, which shall have been assessed at least ton days before the election.
