THE FORCES ENGAGED. " The number 6f tif . PrLIMSi4II troops engaged AVZIS estimated by Gen. Moltke at 210,000, and that of the French at 120,1100. We know that itl'Mahon had w it,li him on Tuesday 120,000 men, that ' i , -:, four corps. lNl'Malion, altbo' woun ded, eonlinanited in chief on the French side. , I t is almost needless to say that the real , commander in chief of the Prus ,:ians was Von Molt ke ; with the Crown Prince and Prince Albert of Saxony immediately next in command. _OPENING OF TILE BATTLE. There were a few stray cannon shots tired, merely to obtain the range, as soon as it wtis light ; but the rear battle did not begin until 6 o'clock, becoming a sharp artillery fight at 9, when the batteries had each got within an easy range, andtile shells began to do seri ous mischief. At ,11:55 the musketry lire in the valley behind' Sedan, which had opened about 11:25, became excee dingly lively—being one continuous rattle, only broken by the loud growl ing of the mitrailleuses, which played with deadly effect upon the Saxon and Bavarian columns. (lon. Sheridan, by Nybose side I was standing at the time, told me that hediti not remember ever to have heard such a Abell sustained tire tif small arms. It made itself heard above the - roar of the batteries at our • feet. "At 12 'clock precisely the Prussian battery o six guns on the slope above the broken 'ailway bridge over the riv er Meuse, n 3 La Villette had silenced two batterie*- 1 French guns at the foot N of the bare hi I already mentioned, near the village -of Floing. At 12:10, the \French infantry, no longer supported by their artillery, were compelled to re tire t o noing, and soon afterwardfe junction between the Saxons and l'r is shins behind Sedan was announce to us by Gen. Von Boon, eagerly peer fig 11 through a large telescope,. as being safe ly completed: , ~• , THE FRENCH suit-mu:qui:D. "From this moment tin resnlrbf the battle could no longer be doubtful. The French were eon surrounded anti brought to bay.' At 12:25 .we wore all astonished to see clouds of retreat ing French infantry on the hill between Prolog and Sedan, a Prussian battery in front of Sf. Menges making accurate practice with percussion shells among " the'receding ranks. The whole hill for a•quarter of an hour was literally t,OV ',ered with Frenchmen runninrapidly. i diess_ than half an hour' afterivard, at 12:50, Gen.

Shortly after ward' we saw the *first Prussian skir- . mishers on the crest of the La Garen ne hills above Torcy. did not seem to be in ,strength, an& Oen. Sheridan, standing behind me, exclaimed : " ! the beggars , are too weak ; they can never hold thatpositien aga'st all those French.' " - The Genera's prophecy soon proved . correct, for : the French advanced at least six to one ; and the Prussians were forced to retreat down thq hill; to seek . reinforcements fro the columns that were hurrying to,theirstipport. ' live minutes they .came hack again, this time in greater force, but, still terribly inTerior to those huge French masses. AN UNEUCCESSFEMs,CAYALM' CHARGE. (`-kl Good heavens P The French . cui rassiers are goh to charge them,' cried Gen. Sheridan ;and sure enough, the regiment's of cuirassiers„ their Helmets - and breast plates, flashing in t ie Sere tember sun, formed in sections f squa drone, aftd dashed down on the seat 'tered Prussian skirmishers, without deigning to form( a •line.- Squares are never used. by the Prusiaus, Land the infantry received the cuirassiers with a erushinc ' quick lire,' at about a hun dred yards distance, loading and firing with extreme rapidity, and shooting with unfailing precision into the dense French squa4rous. The effect wasstart ling. Over went horses and- men id numbers, in masses, in hundridds; and the regiment Of proud French cuiras siers went hurriedly back hi .disorder ;° went back faster than it, came; went. 'back scarcely a regiment in strength, and not at all aregiment in form. Its comely array was suddenly changed Into shapeless and helpless crowds of flying men. The Prussians, after the FrJnch in fantry fell back, advanced rapidly—so rapidly, that the retreating squadrons of French cavalry, being too I closely pressed, ttillifed suddenly round and -charged deslierately or ce again. But It was_all bl no use. The days of break \ing squares are over. The thin blue One soon stopped the Gallic onset. RETREAT OF THE PRENCIT "When - Once this last effort of the French horse had been made and had failed—failed, thoughomshed gallantly, so far , as men and horaela couhl go—the French infantry fell swiftly 'back to ward Sedan. It fell back because it saw that the chance of its carrying that fiercely contested hill was gone, and' saw also that the Prussians holding the hill were crowning it with guns, so that theirown line could not much longer be 110(1f:icing it. In an instant, as the French retired, the whole slope of the ground was covered by-swarms of Prus sian tirailluers, who seemed to rise out of the iground, and push forward by help- - of every slight' roughness or de pres fon in - the surface of the hill. AS fast( s the French went baek„these ae,- tive nemies followed. After the last desPerate charge of the French cavalry, Gen. Sheridan remarked to me that he never saw anything so reckless, so nt terly fo lisb, as that last eharge. 'lt was sheer murder.' . About b o'clock' there was again a sudden suspension of the cannonade along the whole line. Many were the speculatiOns as to the cause, but nobody seemed to divine the truth. You must judge of our surprise when, five minu tes later ' , we saw a Freneh oilicsr escor ted by two Üblans, coming at a hand some trot up the steep bridle-path from Sedan to our post, one of the Uhlans carrying a white duster on a faggot stick as a flag of truce. • The me •Senger turned out to be a French colon 1, come to ask for terms of surrender. fter very short consultation betwe ‘ll the King mid Gen. Von Moltke, t► e Ines ?JCL, SCrt -vv.* a matter so important as the St rrender of at least 80,000 men, and 'an impor tant fortres, it was itry to scud an officer of high •rank. " ou are therefore," said the General, " ) return to Sedan and tell the Governo of the town Ito report himself immediltely , to the King of Prussia. If he nes not arrive within an hour, our g n: , 3 will againlopen fire. You may tell the coin mahiclant that there is no use f his try ing to obtain any other terms than un conditional surrender,' The arlemen taire rode back with this. message., Whenhe was fairly out of ea -shot his' mission was most eagerly cai vassed. At 6:30 there arose a s idden among the members of the 'itg's s —" Der Kaiser 4st da !", t came a loud hurrah.' Soon ve bega look anxiously forstlie arriv it of the cond flag of truce. In ten' t inutes,ni Gen. Reilly rode np with a,letter for King of Prussia. THE EMPEROR'S SURRENDER As soon as the French General vaa in sight, the slender escort of cuiras•lers and dragoons we had with us was drawn up in line, two deep. Behind the Kling, in frout of them again, Stood' His Illla jesLy, King William of Prussic', ready to receive Gem Reily. That otlker, as we soon learned, was the bearer of an autograph letter from the Em3eror Napoleon to King William. The Em peror of the French wrote : "As I can not die at the head of my army, Ti lay my sword at the feet of your Majesty." P.Ne pautant pas mourir a la tetb de mon ar2nee„ie viens m'ettre 2non. .cpee aux :piedB de vette Rajeste."l Why Napoleon Could not die, as did thousands of his soldiers, sword in hand, with his face to the foe, is nit. SO clear. On receipt of this most astsunding let -ter, there was a brief consultation' be tween the King, the CroWn Prince, who balledin,e over from bis hill on the arrival of the flag of tr ice, Count Bismarck, Gen. Von Moltk , and Gen. Von Boon. After a few nri . utes' con versation, the King sat dow lon a rush bottomed chair, and wrote', note (on another chair held as a table by two aides-de-camp) to the lEmper e r, asking him to cgine next morning to the King of Prifssia'speadquarters at Vendresse• f For the Agitator.] THE I WAR IN EUROPE. The war i usEur h ope really staggers the imagination. Ills bulletins read like romances. Popular sympathy sided strongly with Prussia, because she fought In self defense, against an un just and unprovoked attack. But-pop ular Prussian Sympathy could not over come the general belief that victory, at least at first, would follow the conquer ing eagles of France.

It was the relation of the tariff taNthe great question of American labor, that made this subject so important to the. American people. Ho demonstrated that every dollar that-enteredinto the manufacture of a ton of iron over.and above the intrinsic value of the same, was labor—Ametiesin labor. If we bought a ton of English iron for $3O, $2B of that amount was paid for Engliih labor, while our own labor. ore, under the-Democratic 13 ‘ r free trade system, would be out of employment, er compelled to work for, and compete with, the ruinous law wa ges of England, France, rind other manufacturing countries. Carry out, said Mr. Armstrong, this ruinous British free trade policy, so warmly and strenuously, advocated by the Democratic party, and you close at once all the furnaces, forges, rolling mills, woolen and other manufactories in the United States, and throw out of employment thousands and tens of thousands of our sturdy sons of toil. cry ;tall' Il ea i to Se- ore the " His speech throughout - ea strong, argumen tative and powerful, and was repeatedly greeted with rounds of applause, by the intelligent and appreciative audience. We think we can, safely say, that there was not a Republican in that large assembly who did not feel proud of Mr. Armstrong, our faithful and able member of Con. gross." Governor Geary has issued a procla mation, calling attention to the fact, " thi4 sundry assessors and registers of voters have refused And are refusing to assess and ;register divers 'colored male citizens, of lawful age and otherwise qualified electors," so that they may vote at the coming election, and direct ing the Sheriffs of the several counties to fusee, the Fifteenth Amendment and the laws intendedrtq enforce it, in thelection proclamations. They will be fund in another column. It was to be expected, of course, that the jiarty which, in New York, coun tenanced the burning of negro orphan asylums, and which even pow eeeks to re-enslave the freedmen,, by declaring the amendment which secures them th'eir rights, a nullity; should encour age a disregard of the laws intended to enfora r that amendment. All these things must come to pass :• the leopard cannot change its spots. The present generation must die out, before the Cop perheads will fully appreciate the situ ation, and admit the accomplishment of this great work of Emancipation by the Republiban party. Had Democra cy done so much for Liberty and Equa lity, the two great, fundamental prin ciples, of that parts , in the days when Demeeracy meant." the greatest hood to the greatest number," we should hear one universal shout: of- amen and amen, going. up all along the ranks of that party.'

The Gazette (Troy, l'a. ,f 1 ;, ors a new county, to be made up of a 8 fficient ex tent of territory taken frothe wes tern part of Bradford count. The ed itor thinks Herdic will succeed in pit ting his-new county sche4e through, the Legislature, the coming winter, un- lass he is checked by some stch move ment .as the Gdzette prop+e)§. The good people of Troy at* no doubt anx ions to have a new county provided they may have the county st at that place; and fol. this we do iot blame them: Indeed, we think thre would be much greater propriety in having the county seat at Troy than at Mine qua, if a uew county were to he erected. Troy is ,a staid, enterprising; thriving town, the growth of many !years' in dustry : Minequa is a fraud a trap, a snare to catch a fortune for aan whose game of life is to live by intrigue, at the sacrifice of others' interests. If there is to be a new county, l t troy sho'd be the county seat. . ' But there Is to be no new co 3ty with 1 our consent, if it is to take a y portion of Tioga county. It is very atural for some of the people of Union nd other adjacent parts of our county, o favor a new county—we do not 'blam them for it. It is a matter 'of some i conveni ence to thllm to come to Wellaboro for the transaction of business w ich has to be done at the county slat; but this might be , said, as truly ,. \ cif other por tions of the county. It is itn ossible, in the nature of things, that al shOuld be equally well accommodated in this respect. We feel all this for t e good people of Union, but no more f r them than for Jackson and Brookfiel . 'Un ion is, undoubtedly the most unfortu nate in her location of all the town- ships; but that la a:differenciln degree only ;, and- :we must stop seinewhere; else we should the end havenocoun ty left.

Our peopje'are utterly opposed to this, and we shall reflect their wlehes on the subject. A vast majority of theni 011 demand that our member, whoever ihe may be, !shall oppose this scheme from begiunitig to end. There is no safety in any other course. The Minority Convention. The ROading Times says of the Mino rity Convention,' which met in that city on the 31st ultimo : " The glectoral Reform; • pr Minority Convention, as it is called, held in this city yesterday, was a complete success. About eighty delegates were in atten dance, representing the minority party in all the strong Democratic countiss in the eastern part of the State. A few Democrats , from Republican counties were present. Hon. G. W. ' Lear, of Bucks, who presided, delivered an elo• (pent opening speech on taking the chair, but the address of the day was by es-Senator Buckalew, of Columbia, in 'illustration and elucidation of the plan of cumulative, or "free voting," aS he prefers to call it. Mr. Buckalew has given much of his attention of late y' ars to this sublect„and .it is mainly his efforts. as we understand, that t e plan of free or cumulative voting t f. as adopted in Illinois. " This Convention will have 41,3 ef feet of arousing public attention to this great reform, and will hastenithe eriod of its adoption , in this State'.
