The Tribune, speaking of the great' battles before Metz, which seem to be the decisive battles of the war thus far, remarks as folloWs : , . , ' '"'T, he tactics of Badowa Were repeat,- edfitGravelotte. The Pruisianabegan the engagement with . a divided army, or rather two armies moving from dif ferent directions, with orders to.form a jurietlon behind the enerny's - poSition. Bazaine covered the point which the Pins/dans had selected as that upon whlehtaconverge r and actually lay be twilam the two armies which .behad to fight. - it was not until after nightfall that the junction was effected and the victory won ; but it ,was then complete, and forced Bazaine into Met; where it had all along been the design of the grusatans to confine him. The battle was purely defensive on the part of the French. None ofl the several bloody repulses of Prince F rederica; Charles's ? attacks were sign I enough to enable. Bazaine to follow with an offensive movement to extricate hi s from his great danger. He held thong posi tions ,of the field. Thond line which he assumed was pronounced in vulnerable, and the direst attack of Prince Frederick Charles would doufit less have failed to dislodge Bazaine, had not Von .Steinmetz struck they, right flank of the Freucb soon after night fall. The Prussian attacks were in over whelming force, and persistent; at ev ery' hour, from morning until night, , reinforeemeAts fot' tliedi arrived upon • the field • and the French were out nu in ' boVerd at 'least two to one. The Kiang)) ter was horrible, the Prnt , sians lo,ing by far the greatest number- of men, in consequence of the desperation with which they attacked. "The attack of Von Steinmetzon the French right, was but the repetition of IPrince Frederick , Charles'a fatz t ious as sault on the Austrian right at &Wawa— of Blitcher'a grand charge at Waterloo. 1 It was as decisive of this battle as the others• were of the fates of Benedek and the First Napoleon. Bazaine could not • hope to resist it, _and retired to Metz._ Darkness was his ally ; else the attack ' of Von Steinmetz must have resulted in the rout, if-not the total destruction ' Of his army." . .
