The Jewish Times asserts that there is no specific "Jewish oath."

The Augusta Chronicle of Saturday last says: "Our cottou merchants are receiving a great amount of new cotton, which is sold almost on arrival. The number of bales so far received, since the 22nd of August, in this city, is estimated to be over five hundred. One firm alone received seventy-five bales during yesterday and the day before. A fair price is obtained for every bale. The public debt was further decreased $13,403,325.59 during August, and amounts to $2,355,921,150. This is $82,407,326.76 less than it was six months ago. The Treasury holds $139,640,665, of which 8102,504,675. The Pacific Railroad statement, given in connection with that of the debt, shows no material change in its directiou.

" A California pa]>er tells the following story to illustrate the knack of the Chinese to do whatever anybody else can : "Not far from San Jose a gentleman wanted fourteen houses built. A Chinaman took the job, and hired an American carpenter to build one of them. While he was doing so, the celestials lay around and watched every movement he made. As soon as he finished it the Chinaman discharged him, and erected the others themselves. When they were done, the best judges could not tell which was built by the white man." ?-The population of Paris, according to a census taker in 1868, amounted to 2,150,916 souls, of whom 2,028,736 were born in France; that is, 833,478 in the department of the Seine, and 1,295,258 in other departments. Of the 122,180 remaining persons 3054 were naturalized citizens, 34,273 Germans, 33,088 Belgians, 10,687 Swiss, 9106 English, 7903 Italians, 6254 Hollanders, 4400 Americans, 49Q4 Pnlefi. 2536 Spaniards, 1356 Russians, 541 Scandinavians, 329 Moldo-Wallachians, 313 Turks, 290 Greeks, and 3766 foreigners of all other nations. A smart girl in Minnesota popped the question to her Tover, asked the consent of his parents, procured a marriage license, ordered the wedding breakfast, the carriage to convey them to th6 depot, and had a private conversation with the parson, all on the same day.

She finally noticed that he had something preying upon his mind, and having in the meantime heard Miss Anthony, assisted him to get rid of it in the manner described. The London correspondent of the Chicago Tribune says it is an ascertained fact, that the Emperor Napoleon has enough money inyested in the English funds to yield him an annual income of ?100,000. This sum, capitalized at the English rate of interest, represents over ?3,000,u00. He also estimates that the Emperor has as much invested in other countries. According to this estimate, Napoleon has not been unmindful of the future. We has been so preparing matters that, in case of trouble, he will not be left in poverty., Upon the interest of ?3,000,000 he can manage to live quite comfortable.

The Circuit Court, for York County, will commence its sittings at Yorkville on Monday nexj>-*ft is probable that the session will corifcfffue for two weeks. - OROAMZE WHITE COMPANIES. ^rthfn thd last;f?^}d^^6ie! oo(4H3/w|i|i? tia company in this town, and for aught we know the other coiirpknies in this county, have received arms and ammunition. This is, no doubt, intended by our kind Governor as an intimidation of the white people of York, and as such it. is hard to bear. But we would earnestly entreat white citizens to restrain themselves, in case of any overbearing treatment, for the ,good of the country. Any case of individual resistance, unless un dcr very extraordinary provocation, would be used as a pretext for martial law and might be the occasion for great disorder. The proper method of meeting this emergency i6 to organize a white militia company iu every township?not to carry on war, but for the purpose of preventing it. So far as the colored militia is concerned, we have no fear of its ever terrifying York county, either alone or backed by the Governor. Wc are aware that our white citizens are perfectly competent to protect themselves againBt outrage or danger, and that they are no less willing than able to do so. It is for this very reason that we advocate the formation of white militia companies. Organization renders more effective individual resistance to aggression and, at the same time, confines it within proper bounds. The knowledge that there is an organized force to protect them will restrain men from acts of blind or reckless resistance. The same knowledge will also cool the ardor o^ those who desire to use the militia for the purpose of terrifying a peaceful and unoffending population. We believe the immediate organization of white companies is also called for as an act of humanity to the ignorant rank and file of the militia, "wllo are the mere tools of more designing men. With their present instructions (that they are to scare the white people), they are liable at any time to commit some act that will throw the county into the horrors of a general strife.^ It is important that the^ bq informed that* no such act will be tolerated, and therefore we suggest the immediate formation of companies, of at least thirty men each, in every township. These companies can be so combined as to form three full com* 1.1 1 i A! _ panies, whose services can De tenaerea w me Governor. If Governor Scott accepts their services, well and good; if not, keep up the organizations ready for any emergency. But while we advocate preparation for ills that may happen, we do not advise anything to provoke civil war. On the contrary, we desire to use our whole influence in persuading our fellow citizens to bear patiently anything short of actual dishonor or inexcusable oppression. If we are to have bloodshed, let the responsibility not lie at our door. Let us rather strive to prevent it by showing ourselves prepared for the crisis, and then if it is forced upon us we can, with a clear conscience, use our united strength in defence of our rights and liberties. PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE.^/^ It is an undeniable fact that the fire of last week would have been far more destructive, but for the supply of water furnished from a cistern constructed by private enterprise. Dr. J. F. Lindsay, about a year ago, dug a cistern holding 9,000 gallons of water, for the protection of his property in case of fire. The expense, although considerable, was justified by the result. The owner of this cistern had the satisfaction of saving not only his own property but thousands of dollars belonging to others. When the fire broke out, Dr. ? - .1 i_. 1 Lindsay's nrst care was to use ine water in nis cistern to moisten the roofs of his dwelling house and outbuildings thoroughly, and then to moisten the roofs of his immediate neighbors. By the time this had been accomplished, the fire was nearly opposite. The cistern was then made public, a line to carry buckets was formed and in half an hour the fire was checked, although several old frame buildings still remained in its front. After the fire was certainly checked, we visited this cistern and found it to be at least one-third full of water. The moral of this statement of facts is that the first essential for fighting fire is a plentiful supply of water. Without this engines are of no use, and with it they may often be dispensed with. Had the owners of the buildings which were burnt possessed cisterns of water, or had there been a few public cisterns, the fire could have been stopped much sooner. As it was, hundreds of men were compelled to see their utmost exertions useless for want of water. There are two methods by which this danger can be guarded against in future. The first is the construction of cisterns at public expense, either by private contribution or general tax; so that capacious cisterns may be located, at convenient distances, all over our town. But by far the best way is for owners to build their own cisterns, or tor two or tnree neighbors to combine and build one for mutual protection. In the latter case, the owners are independent of the public, and their investment answers, to a great extent, all the purposes of a fire insurance. They have, moreover, the right, which is denied in other circumstances, of protecting themselves first and others afterwards. Inasmuch as they have, while others have not, foreseen the evil day and provided against it, it would be manifestly unjust to use their supply of water until they have no further use for it. Such cisterns, ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 gallons capacity, cost from $100 to $250, according to capacity. A number of small cisterns would probably be more serviceable than a few large ones, on account of furnishing more accessible poiuts for water carriers - A \t to go to; imt, 011 the other hand, large cisterns cost less in proportion than small .ones. The lessoKof the late fire may be studied with^advantageT3y*the country lis well as the town. How many homes there are in the {country, which have almost no supply of water to guard against a sudden fire. The majority of these are unprotected by insurance, and for the very reason that thfe means of fighting fire are scarce^ which raaltes the rates of insurance bigner in proportion. The cheapest plan to protect country houses, especially where there are numerous outbuildings occupied by hired hands, is to construct one or two capacious cisterns near enough to be available, but not so near as t? rei.Jor the locality too hot during a fire. With a good force pump costing $25, fifty or a hundred feet of hose costing fifty cents a foot, and a cistern costing $100?or $150 in all, most country houses can be effectually guarded against destruction by fire. Is not the protection cheap ? THE EUROPEAN SITUATION. The change from an empire to a repulic in France was effected almost instantaneously, * *'? * TU ... ana wimouccivu uisiuruuuce. mcucn emment very soon made it known that a change of government did not mean anarchy. The most vigorous means were used to quell anything like mobocracy, and to-day the republican administration, whose names we give elsewhere, exercise as" much authority as the imperial power did before the collapse of the empire. The new government has been acknowledged by Italy, Spain and Switzerland, all of which nations except the last are in an unsettled condition themselves. The President of the United States has also seen fit to acknowledge the new republic, and to tender his congratulations to the French people on the change in their government But none of the established governments of Europe have gone so for.They are more deliberate in acquiescing in so, momentous a change in one of the most important nations of Europe. As the present administration in France may be over-turned at a moment's notfce, and as the Klrrtltr fr\ mwn UJQ XT fn An repuunu IS UIUIC luau nacy IV guv ..V.J Orleans dynasty, the great powers are disposed to await the final issue before giving the right hand of fellowship to any temporary authority at Paris. The King of Prussia recognizes Louis Napoleon, his captive, as the ruler of France and, although the republic has sent embassadors to treat for peace, he is concentrating his armies for the siege of Paris. A few more days will probably determine whether the republic can successfully resist the power of Prussia. Until that question is decided, there is no probability of peace. If Prussia alone can restore order to France and establish an Orleans dynasty, the war will probably end soon. But if the French revolutionists can hold but (as they did before) long enough to awaken the slumbering volcano of revolution in Spain and Italy, a general European war is inevitable. King William's cause is just now the cause of peace. and civilization. If he is unable to take Paris by a short siege, the world will be treated to a repetition of "progress"?such .'progress as was exhibited in the first French revolution. The end and results of a struggle between red-republicanism and conservatism, it is impossible to foresee. ' The Latest.?The Prussian army has been halted twenty-five miles from Paris, at the request of Bismarck, to consider a proposition for an armistice offered by Russia and Austria. Gen. Trochu is jn-eparing to defend, the capital; his last measure was to order the destruction of all the woods in sight of tbfe city. Bazaine still holds out at Metz, though his supplies are very light. Sympathy with the French republic is manifesting itself in Spain by tumultuous meetings and demands for the Cortes to be assembled. In London formidable popular demonstrations were held on the 12th, in favor of the republic and against all monarchies, at home or abroad. The names of the Queen and the Prince of Wales were hissed, and the government de nounced. In Italy, Victor Emanuel, King of Sardinia, has gotten up a war with the Pope and is penning him up in Rome. The virtual abandonment of all temporal power ; is the ultimatum offered to his Holiness. ' ? RADICAL MEETINGS. 1 ?

I We learn from a private letter received. , from Chester that the county Reform convention, which met last Monday, made the following nominations: For Senator?Purvis Alexander, colored:; for the House?0. Barber, white, Adam Branch, colored, and Will Johnston, colored; for County Commissioners?Capt. Wade Osborne, white, Moses Benson, colored, and Sampson Chestnut, colored; for School Commmioner?B. D. Boyd, colored ; for Judge of Probate?J. H. McDaniel; for Clerk of Court ?David Hemphill; for Coroner?Dr. Eli Cornwell. Congressional Nominee. Col. C. W. Dudley, of Marlboro, has been nominated for Congress by the Reform party in the first district of this State?the district formerly misrepresented by Whittemore. The Reform party of that district were disposed to support Rainey, the Radical nominee, as he has a good character for integrity. But Rainey commenced abusing the Reformers, and self-respect compelled them to put forward a candidate of their own. Colonel Dudley has always been a consistent Union man, even during the war, when he was very unpopular on this account. Trial Justices Cannot Sentence Criminals. Atrial justice in Williamsburg county recently sentenced a man whom he had found guilty of assault and battery. A writ of prohibition, forbidding the enforcement of the sentence, was moved for before Judge Green, on the ground that trial justices have no constitutional jurisdiction over such cases. The judge decided that the act giving jurisdiction in such matters to trial justices violation of the constitution, and ordered Oil sentence to be set aside. It follows that the only power possessed by trial justices in crim* - ? x ? tMiSsAnam nn J a 11 inai cases is tu Biwiuuc jhisuucio, ?uu, u ficient cause appears, to bind them over for trial in the Court of Common Pleas. Affairs in North Carolina. As we stated last week, Judge Bond, of the U. S. Circuit Court, visited Raleigh at the instance of Holden and Company, and while there, heard argument in the case of Kirk's lieutenant-colonel, Bergen, (imprisoned by Judge Brooks in default of bail for alleged cruelties practised upon prisoners), on a writ of habeas corpus. The grounds alleged in the petition were want of jurisdiction on the part of J udge Brooks, and informality and illegality of the proceedings in the case. At the conclusion of the argument, the Judge stated that he would take the papers home with him and give the subject mature consideration, and in due time return his decision to the Marshal. The Sentinel says that Judge Bond made a more favorable impression on the citizens of Raleigh than was at first anticipated, and intimates that certain parties have been somewhat disappointed in their expectations of that gentleman. The pay-master or cashier of the treasury, A. D. Jenkins, a son of the State treasurer, was peremptorily removed by Holden, and ! the position assigned to R. T. Berry, who at once proceeded to pay Kirk's men with funds | belonging to the State. For delivering these 1 funds to Berry in obedience to the mandate ! of Holden, Judge Mitchell has served a lule ' on young Jenkins, ordering him to appear ! before him at chambers in Statesville, to show cause why he shall" not be attached and pun- n ished for contempt, r \ The Way of .the World, y 81 During" the excitement 'in' Paris ^ McMahon's surrender, the Empress Eugenie was advised by a kinsman to sign her abdication, but by the advice of the imperial minis- !* try this was not done.

North Carolina have been greatly deprived of their privileges ; that they are not allowed c -to be out at night without written passes, &c., ? in short, that they are being put back into * slavery.

' The Columbia Ghiardian gives the following instances of good farming in South ^ Carolina: ' t Hi "On a farm, near Anderson Courthouse, the property of B. F. Crayton, Esq., twenty ? acres in corn will yield from 1000 to 1200 * bushels. Thirty acres of cotton will average * 1000 pounds per acre. One half acre in bar- a ley will bring thirty bushels. Everything e i about this farm is in capital order, and the e (fcoveF Tots as beautiful and luxuriant as they D are rare. Twenty head of hogs to fatten this fall are now fed daily on steamed food, main- ? 'ly pumpkins. Captain Crayton is also pre paring to manufacture tiles for the purpose * of underdraining. "Mr. Richard O'Neale, jr., on last Thurs- u day, had already gathered and packed six ^ bales of cotton out of a twenty acre lot. He confidently expects to make thirty bales on this lot, which lies along Boundary street, in * ] Columbia. Farmers, this is the way; make c '! thirty bales of cotton on twenty acres, rather s | than twenty bales on one hundred acres, a Less land, less labor, less mule force, less ex- E pense and trouble, and larger crops." , Ex-Governor Orr Disclaims. T Governor Orr has deemed it necessary to come before the public with another letter, j This time, however, it is quite short, and is fl for the purpose of disclaiming any sinister ^ j motive in having written the previous letter. Of course Governor Orr is privileged to write I as many letters as he may regard proper; ; but why he should jdeem it necessary to inform j the public as to how he intended to vote in i the. approaching election, we are unable to understand. The letter referred to is dated, ? "Columbia, September 8," and is as follows: ^ "Mr. Editor: The press of this State .in . ! commenting on the letter recently published i by me in favor of the election of Scott and F Ransier, have charged that my position was F taken by reason of an arrangement between I myself and the leaders of the Republican t j party; that I was to be elected to the Senate E | of the United States the ensuing winter. In e , reply, I beg to state, first: That I have never had any conference with Governor Scott or a ; any other Republican, directly or indirectly, c with reference to the Senatorial election; a I and second: That I have not been, am not t ow, and irill not ba a candidate for the United States 8enate, at the approaching seaon of the Legislature.

A correspondent of the Columbia Phoer ix, writing from Laurens county^ After givlg a report of a Radical speech advising the egroes to take what provisions they wanted om the fields and to burn the houses of hite-people who would noteeUle-withthem-. ght, says: "On Wednesday a young man by the name f William Hunter had two negro men arreted for stealing wheat. He went to Thos. wens, Trial Justice?brother of Y. J. P? wens, senator from this coonty?and proured a warrant Owens sent his constaMe, 'umbling, and with Hunter, arrested and rought them to town.

Mr. Editor : After a flying visit to your awn, I find myself "home again," at the ase of the blue mountains. I find, on my eturn, that all hands have quieted down from beir rejoicing over the Jesuit of the late elecions, and every one is; pursuing the even enor of his way. The result of our late lections surprised Democrats, Conservatives, Republicans and Radicals. But there never ms an election conducted more honestly than hat was on the part of the Conservatives, and )emocrats. It is palpable, and can be provn beyond a doubt, that the victory waaol* ained without the usual stimulus of organiftfrinn nr mnnfiv. The oreranization was onlv "*""w "" "* V " o v. ? ? uch as was indicated in the address of the Democratic-Conservative members of the late Jeneral Assembly and what concert of acion could be secured in the several counties; nd as to the use of money to secure the elecion, not three hundred dolUm-rea *. member f the Executive Committee vinfbrras me? ame into their hands for the circulation of locumenti, or for other purposes. From hese facts, it is plain, that if the Radicals iad any desire for peace, or right, or justice, hey would be content. But not so. Since the election, delegations lave gone on to Washihgton with large >atches of lying and basely-malicious statements, all of which can be disproved, setting orth that the election was carried by fraud, nd especially by the agency of a Ku-Klux rganization throughout the State. Besideshis, Radical correspondents from different ections are publishing their false and maliious statements in the northern papers. All hese, of course, are to be manipulated' by he Central Republican Executive Committee ,t Washington city, and every other agency mployed to bring to bear upon Congress very influence to Induce that body to remand North Carolina again to the condition f a military dependency, to render null the ate election, and to perpetuate, if possible, tadical rule in the State. To add to the force of these measures, it b _J._i.aJ *Un ! itroflfl mi inn Via a .uuersbwu iiiiau uiu iwugiiiw. een going on before Judge Pearson in Raligh, aided by Judges Dick and Settle, is osensibly to ferret not crime, bat it is really to' onnect the success of the Democratic-Conervative party of the State with the wicked nd criminal acts of Ku-Klux. It is said, to sake the matter sure, bench warrants will be. ssued against respectable persons in different tarts of the State, to be taken to Raleigh, to te examined with the view of fixing alleged Cu-Klux outrages upon the Conservatives ,nd Democrats. The idea is too monstrous o believe. That the Supreme Court Judges if the State would lend themselves to a course o partizan and outrageous is difficult to credt, and yet such is the rumor. All these efforts will fail, as all the wioked fforts of Holden, by his war upon the good eople of the State, to provoke our people to armed resistance, have failed. Bad and levilish as many Radicals are in Congress, here are too many sensible and honest Relublicans in that body to allow so wicked a turpose to succeed. The truth is, and discreet tepublicans in North Carolina admit it, that ! he defeat of the Radicals in the late election 3 chargeable directly upon the corruption, xtravagance, robberies, public plundering nd violent partizan course of the late Radial General Assembly and Holden's abominble administration. The finishing stroke to heir defeat was put upon Radicalism by the * 1 m ? unholyftnd unlawful Inilitary -ai^of Holdeib t upon fhe people, and -his lawless arrests and jj bad treatment'of the arrested parties. Th& ^ defeat was the uprising of a 'dteeply injured <j people to save the State from Radical ruin.Very much depends upon, and is expected of ? our next General Assembly, an<f we'hope p that they will act with caution and prudence. a PLUS. I THE BATTLE^Q^ SFiDAN, |s, GRAPHIC ACCOUNT BY AN BYE.WITNESS, a ' r The New York Tribune war correspondent at the I Prussian headquarters, whose account of the battle r of Gravelotte, already given, evoked the universal t laudation of the press; furnishes the Mowing ad* s mirable description of the terrible battles around t Sedan. The letter is dated at the headquarters ofi t the King of Prussia,, Thursday night, September 1. a After a brief narration of the movements of the e previous day, and a description kif the prelimina- s ries incident to a great battle, in which he. pays an eloquent tribute to the endurance and courage of . the Prussian troops, he proceeds ' 4 ,r b At 7 o'clock on Thursday morning, my servant 1; came to awake me; saying the King s horses were t harnessing, and his Majesty would leave in half } an hour for the battle-field, and as cannonading had ? already been heard near Sedan, I jumped up. * seized crusts of bread, wine,; cigars, Ac., ana j crammed them into my holsteri taking my break- a fast on the way. Just as I got to my norse King j William drove out in an open carriage, with four c horses, for Chevange, about three ana a half miles f south of Sedan. Much against my will, I was com- 1< pelled to allow the King s staff to precede me on t the road to the soene of aetion, where I arrived t myself soon after 9 o'clock. It was impossible to t ride fast, all the roads being blocfce<jl with artille- n ^jv-ammunition wagons, ambulances, Ac. c ^?t-T-T: As I code on to the crest of . the hill .which rises 1< sharply about six hundred or seven hundred, feet I above the little hamlet of Chevange, tiestled in the grove below, a most glorious panorama burst on my view. ;i orf . . Risht at our feet lav the little Town of Sedan, T famous for its fortifications by Vauban, and as the. ' birthplace of Ttnrenne, the great marshal; kuowfc t also as the place where Sedan chairs originated.! , As we were ooly about two and. a quarter miles * from the town, we eould easily distinguish its prih- ( cipal edifices without- the aid of our field glasses.-: . On the left was a pretty church, its Qothio. spiqa { of sandstone offering a conspicuous target fbr; ( Prussian guns, had General Moltke thought fit to < bombard the town. To the right on' the southeast J of the ohuroh, was a large barrack, with the fortir > ficationa of tbp citadel behind it, and beyppd this, < to the southeast again, was the old chateau of Se- ' dan, with picturesque round turretfed towers Of die ] sixteenth century, very useless evew against: fcurpounder Krupp field pieces. This building, -I be-c { lieye, is now an arsenal' , Beyond this was the citadel, in the heart" bf ] Sedan on a rising bill, above the Meuse, to the: , south-east, but completely commanded by bills op | both sides of the riyer, which fans in front of the, \ citadel The French had" flooded the IOvr'mehd-' oows and valley before coming to the railway bridge at. BazeiUe ip .order fo stop. the Germans, . from advancing on the town in. that, direction. 1 With their usual stupidity, for obU 'rahr find no ' other word for it, tha French had -fkiled to mine 1 the bridge at Bazeille, and it was of immgflfe ser-- 1 vice to the Prussians throughout tpe bgttle. The. ' Prussians actoally threW up breastworks bri'the iron bridge itself to protect it fVOnl the Froocb, " who more than Oooe attempted, .early jp the day, 1 to storm the bridge in the nppe< pf .breaking. the 1 Bavarian's communication between'tbe' right and ' left banks of-the Meuse. ' i | This they were unable to do, and although their ! cannon shot: had almost demolished the parapet,, 1 the bridge itself was never materially damaged. ] On the projecting spurs- of the hill, crowned by 1 the woods of La Marfee, of which I have already. ] spoken, the Bavarians had posted two batteries ' of six-pounder rifled breech-loading steel Krupp 1 guns, which kept up a dtibllo until the veiyeno ' of the day iwith the siege guns!of,Sedan across j the Mease, Still further .to .the; right ; flunk, or J rather to the east, for our line was a circular one)' k crescent at first,1 with Sedan in thecehfire, like a ( star on the Turkish standard. Was an undmating ( plain .before the village of Bazeille, terminating 1 about a mile and a half from Sedan at the woods near Rdbecourt midway, that is to sky in a line from Bazeille north there is a ravine, wateredfcjtf l tiny brook, which was the scene of the most des-11 ..tmimla and nf ttia mmf flllDffllter I 1 of thefthofe battle. This strou^ -whose name I i have forgotten, if it ever had- one, runs right be- t hind the tojvn of Sedan 4h?wood* m, JFleir i grease. On the north behind the town rises a hill1 1 dotted with cottages and fruit-laden orchards,- and ] crowned by the wood of La Garienne, which runs < down to the valley of which ! have just spoken, i Between this* wood and the town were, several, I French camps, their white shelter tents standing out clear among the daft fruit trees; In these j camps one could see throughout the cUy-huge. i masses of troops which were never used. Even j daring the height of battle they stood as idle as i Fitz John Porter at the second haftleof Bull Bun.' i We imagined that thev must be undisciplined Gardes Mobiles, whom the French generals dared i not bring out against their enemy. To the Prus- i sian left these French camps, separated from them: by a wooded ravine, was a long bare some- ] thing like one of4he hills on Long Island. This, ; hill, on which was some of the hardest'fighting, of : the day, formed one of the keys of the position 6f the French army. When once its crest i was covered with Prussian artillery, the whole town of Sedan was completely at the mercy of the Prussian guns, as'they were not only above the- I town, but the town was almost within musket i range of them. Still further to . the west lay the i village of IUv, set on fire early in the day bv i French shells. Sooth of this a broken railway bridge, blown up by the Frenoh to protect their right, was a> conspicuous object Bight I above the railway bridge, on the line to Mezeires, i was the wooded hill crowned by the new and most hideous chateau, as he calls'it; of one Monsieur Pave. It was here the crown Prince and his Btaff i stood during the dav, having a rather more exten sive but less central view, and therefore less desi- i rable than oars, where stood ; the King, Oonnt j Bismarck, Von Boon, the War Minister, General.] J Moltke and Generals Sheridan and Forsythe, to i say nothing of your humble correspondent. " < POSITION8 OF THE PRUSSIAN ARMIES. Having thus endeavored to give some faint idea of the scene of what is in all probability the deci- ; sive battle of the war, I will next give an account | of the position of the different corps at the com- | menoemeot of the action, premising that all move- , meats werejtf the simplest possible nature, the ob^ j ject of the Prussian generals being merely to ciose j the crescent of troops with which they'began into j a circle by effecting a junction between the Saxon | corps o; iheir right and thq Prussian corps on their , left. This action took place about noon, near the , little village of Illy, on Baseille ravine, behind Se- f dan, ofwhioh I have already spoken.. Once their terrible circle formed and well soldered together, it; grew smaller and smaller, until at last thefortifica: I tions of Sedan itself were entered. On the ex-11 treme right were the Saxons, one oorps d' armee I ] with King William's guards, also a corps d' aj^nee.i in reaorre behind them. " 'l The gdards had suffered terribly at Gravelotte,; ;j1 where they met the Imperial Guard, and the King f1 would not allow them to be again so cruelly daci-:1 mated. Justice comnels me to say that this ar-!i rangement was very far indeed from being pleasing 1 j to the guards themselves, who were ever anxious t1 to be in the fore front of battle. The guards and 1 Saxons, then about 75,000 strong, were air day on '( the right bank of the Meuse, between Kubecourt i' and La Chapelle, at which latter village Prince 1 Albert of Saxony, who was in command of two ! corps, which baa been formed into a little extra j army by themselves, passed the night*bf Thursday. ' The ground from Rnbecourt to the Mense was oo- (< cupied by the First bavarian Corps. The Second j Bavarian Corps extended their front from near the ' Bazeille Railway bridge to a point on the high road ' 1 from Doueherry to Sedan, not far from the little i j village of Torey. , ] Below the hill on which the Crown Prince was 1 placed, the ground, from Torey to Illy, through ! < .t-- i :rf?- -c noa held hp the first i - me large vmage *?? riuuiSI ~, ..? and third Prussian corps, belonging to Prince , 1 Frederick Charles, and temporarily attached to the 1 army of the Crown Prince. This was the position 1' of the troops about 9 o'clock on Thursday morn- j * ing September 1st, and no' great advance took; place until later than that,, for the artillery, at first, had all the work to do. Still further to the : 1 left, near Doucheny, were 20,000 Wurtembuigers, i ] ready to cast off the French from Mesieres, in case { of their making a push for that fortress. I THE FORCES ENGAGED.' ( The number of Prussian troops engaged is esti-! i mated by General Moltke at 240,000, and that of j i the French 120,000. We know that McMahon ( had with him on Tuesday 120,000 men; that is. i four corps?his own, that was lately commanded < by General DeFailly, now under General LeBruo: t that of Felix Douay, brother of General Abej t Douay, killed at Weissenburg, and the Fourth i Corps, principally composed or the Garde Mobile, f the name of whose oommander has escaped me. , i McMahon, although wounded, commanded in 1 chief on the French side. It is almost needless to t say that the real commbnder-in-chief of the Prus- f sians was Von Moltke, with the Crown Prince and ( Prince Albert of Saxony immediately next in com- j mand. 1 COMMENCEMENT OF BATTLE. ! t There were a few stray cannon shots fired, but ] ( be real battle did not commence until 6 o'clock, eooming a sharp artillery fight at 9, when the latteries had got within easy range and shells be:an to do serious mischief. At five minutes of 12 'clock the musketry fire in the valley in the rear f Sedan, which.had. opened at 1L25, .became exeedingly lively, being one continuous rattle, only >of tnjWl^^hi^ ilayed with deadly effect on the advancing Saxon nd Bavarian columns.
