The war lasted 210 duyS. During the first seveu days of tho war, the armies from North and South Germany wero concentrated; nod within thirteen davs, their strutegic murch to tho frontier' Was accomplished. Plie army, nil inhering between 500,000 uud GOO,000 men, was transported over live principal lines'of railroad,'each one forwarding daily,, on au. uyoruge", 42,000 men, together with tho necessary horsijs, artillery, munitions pud volijcleH.of trans? port, Pour carps d'armes were tims con? veyed to the FroueH boundary, somo of them 300 miles, Bomo 500 miles, ?iud, during tho transportation, tuon and horses had to be victualled uud cared for. This is tho most extraordinary concen? tration of an army on record. History has nothing to compare with it. Deducting tho days lost in concohtrut itig, aud the timo which elapsed between ibu capitulation of Puris and the treaty of peuce, wo buyo, for thu active dura? tion of the war,. 180 days. During this time the Germ.uu troups fought 17 grand 'laities and 156 battles of loss importance, captured 2G fortified places, C 700 pieces of artillery, 120 eagles or fl igs, ll.O?O officers mid 303,000 men. This, on au average, is 3 great and 20 smaller buttles. 4 fortresses, 20 eagles, 1.110 pieces of artillery, 1,050 officers und 00,500 mon a month. This gi ves a fortress taken every ?ix dnys, u grund buttle every ninth day, uud a minor buttle every day. This looks, on paper, like a triumphal march, yet ono Gorman regiment, the lt?ib, lost GI officers out of 61, and 1.543 men ont. of 3,000. The 52.1 regiment also lust 58 bfUeers, 7 colors und 1,331 men.

Were it consist? ent with my official dutica, I 'would that this cup could pass from me.' But I cannot now shrink from tho performnuce of thia and and official requirement, nud must not, and will not iu tho future, though other victima may full to avengo a violated law.

At tho conclusion of tho sentence, Judgo Flippiu waa in toara, aa waa also nearly j ull the largo crowd guthered there.
