Tlie PruMan ri^bt win? reaches Jo Treves on the Mo^eilc.

An inscription on the wall oi the Kath Ilauso informs ur. that it was built beforo 1'omulus laid the foundation of Jiome. The Troviri became the allies of JUome, and Augustus used them well, iie made Treves the capital of Gaul, and cst:ibli>hed Senate and appointed magistrates to manage tho affairs of the Umpire north of the Alps. Here tho great Roman highway crossed the Moselle on a magnificent stone bridge, erected L'S II. which was blown up by Louis XIV. its remains are still to be seen. J'russian soldiers now occupy the basilica erected by the architects of old I'otne, and go through their dress parade on tho campus, where Ctesar and Constantino tho Great reviewed their legions. Treves has a railroad connection west with Luxembourg, and with the Jiliinc by the line which runs southeast up the valley of the Saar to Saarbruek, ami which turns a right cnglc to the northeast. The supplies for the Prussian troops at Treves and in the valley of the Saar must como either b}' this one line of rail or by .steamboats up (ho Moselle. Treves being near Luxembourg, which is neutral territory, the Prussians cannot receive anything from t!>e west, and the 100,001) soldiers encamped on the hills around this old town must obtain all their supplies from tin; i-hinc. Tin: vai.v.v.y or saati. Tlic Saar rises in the Vosgcs, the ratigo of mountains that lie West, of .Strasbourg, and drains th. it- Western slope. It is a beautiful stream, winding through a wide, verdant valley. The course of llie river is toward the north, joining the Moselle near Treves, it has given a name to several towns. Travelling south of Treves, wo find Saarsburg, thou Saarholzbach, then Saarlouis, Saarbnn U, and Saarhu.iengen, all in .Prussia; eroding the stream, we have Sarreguomines, Sarreable, Sarrunian ; an ! riarrehaney, in France. In this enumeration the order has been southward from Treves. Saarlouis mid Saarbruck in Prussia, aiul Sarrogueminos, in Franco, and arc of great importance, but the others arc of little account. SAAUT.OUrS, It is fifty-six miles from Treves to Saarbruck, ami the important towns on the route are Saarburg, Merzigand Saarlouis. The last named placo is about forty miles south of Treves. It is a fortified town, surrounded by wide meadows, and two-thirds encircled by the river, xvlilch at that point is a sluggish stream. The fortifications constructed by Vauban, and consists of ramparts, bastions, lunettes, losses and ditches. A canal connects the ditches with the river, and the garri1 son, by opening the sluices, may fdl them with water on short notice. Prussian engineers have strengthened the works and adapted them to the requirements of modern military science. The town is located on the western bank, and it is fully a mile across the meadows to the hills that bound the valley on the west. Tlu character of the soil is such that the place cannot bo taken by regulai seige operations. The railroad runs along tho Eastern bank of tho stream, all tho way ii Treves in Saarbruck. The railroac station at Saarlouis is conncclvc with tho towns by a lino stone bridge Tho river is too deep to bo forded bj any advancing army.' It is about a: wido as tho Jiappahannock at Frcdci ieksburg. The Prussian lino of de fcnecs is along tho eastern bank, am if the French army would got nt tin Prussians anywhere between Trove and Saarbruck. thov must bridge lb stream either by Pontoons or by mor solid structures. The distance fron Saarlouis to tho boundary is abou four miles; it is tho same from Mei zig to the boundary; but as wo a[ proach Saarbruck, fifteen miles fui thor up tho valloy, tho distance b? tween tho rivor and the frontier i not moro than a mile and ahalf, SAARDB.UGK.
