M 2 K III?* stoweet bells of Shnmlon, That souutl m) grain l «>u The i>leai-ant waters of the river Lee.” M'e were very graciously invited to vis it one of the schools of “The Christian Brothers," and were conducted by tbe principal, a very polite and genial man, through the building, grounds and house, —were shown a room tilled with framed drawings in water color and oil paint ings of architectural designs, landscapes, &c., executed by the most advanced pu pils, all of much merit. Here were con gregated twelve hundred boys, of differ ent grades, from five to sixteen years old and here labored, died and is buried, the brilliant and talented Gerald Griffin, au thor of Colleen Bawn, etc. The order ol Christian Brothers is of French origin they live in community, have now seventy establishments iu Ireland, and 3*1,000 chil dren under their care. At Cork we took the famous “Jaunting Car" and drove out ten miles through a country of wonderful beauty and richness of verdure to the Water Cure establishment of I)r. Barter, at St. Annie’s Hill, and were astonished and delighted at the immense extent, in finite variety, line taste and lavish expen diture of the whole establishment, a visit would almost repay a voyage across the Atlantic. Then to Blarney Castle and Groves,—exploring every nook and cor ner of castle, grounds and lake. I stood on the highest part of the don-jon keep of the grand old ruin,—a hundred and twen ty feet or more in air,—and actually did what not one in ten, perhaps in a hundred do, and what my guide-book says “none but fools risk their necks iu attempting," —kiss the “Blarney Stone." Front Cork to the famous Lakes of Kil larney, where we took a ear and drove to the Guo of Hunloe discharged our car and proceeded on foot through the gap, about four miles, to our boat at the head of the upper lake. The gap is grand and impressive, though not overpowering in sublimity. The Black Valley, as we em erged from the fastness of the glen itself, had a stern grandeur and wildness. 1 was accompanied for a-considerable distance by a bevy of the mountain nymphs eager to bestow, “for a consideration," their “potheen" anil goat's milk. I gave them some pennies and a taste of brandy which 1 had taken, (not as a beverage.) when they became profuse in their compliments ami would surely have made me too drunk t*> leave the valley if 1 had drank all the “mountain dew" they urge?! upon me. At the entrance of the gap we saw and en tered the cottage of “Kate Kearney,’’ now occupied by her grand daughter; entered our boat and were rowed through the Upper Lake,—the Long Kange,—Lake Mueross or Middle Lake, and Long Leane or Lower Lake. The echoes at various points were inconceivably wonderful. Our bugler sounded a siiuric note, which, rebounded from hill to hid, from eiiii to crag, now soft, now loud, now in rapid succession, now pausing and dying away iu low taint whispers of heavenly sweet ness. He then played “The Last Hose id Summer." and instantly the mountains were alive with harmony far and near, and on every side note followed note in sweet, wild confusion, some reverberating loudly, others mellowed by distance, but the whole producing an effect wholly in describable. The next dav we drove to Murkross Ab bey, founded tor the Franeisau Frairs, one of the very finest Mediaeval ruins in Ire land, with a square tower covered with ivy of wonderful beauty. In the centre ol the court yard, surrounded by the elois ters, stands a magnificent,yew tree twelve feet in circumference, perhaps as old as j the Abbey itself. From the inscriptions in the burying ground 1 copied, "In memory I of Owen Shine, died April fith, 1*17. aged I 114 years; pray for him;” 1 suppose be cause lie was so prematuralv snatched away. This venerable ruin is a place of iTcat attraction and resort, and I found on the visitors’ hook, names from all parts of the United States, several of whom 1 knew. Then a tiue drive through the beautiful and very extensive estate of 11. A. Herbert, M. 1‘. for the country: past his mansion, a fine example of the Eliza bethan style. I suppose there is not an estate in the United States that can at all approach this for extent, cost and beauty. Thou to Tore Mountain and waterfall, the cascade tumbling in a sheet of white foam ever a precipice seventy or eighty feet in height, and breaking on the rocks beneath in the mist and spray, then pushing its brawling way over rocks through a nar row ravine to the lake, far below. From Killarnoy by rail, via Mallow Junction, Charleville, &c., to Limerick,— known as the “City of the Violated Treaty” —a city built on the river Shannon, con taining about 45,000 people, and a place of great historic interest. The “lions” are tlie river, bridges, castle, cathedral and the “Treaty Stone.” The castle, built in i the time of King John, is although in ruins, a noble structure, with seven massive j towers connected by higlt walls of im mense thickness, making it one of the best examples of a Norman stronghold to be seen in Irelaud. The city has been sever al times besieged, the latest and most memorable siege being that by the troops of William Third, who made many inef fectual attempts to take the city, meeting with several severe repulses. At length the King offered favorable terms of capit illation, which were accepted by the Irish troops, and the articles were signed Oct. 1 J, 1691, on the stone which is now mount ed on a pedestal near the end of Thomond bridge. The history is not fresh in my mind, but the treaty, I think, consisted of two parts,—one civil, the other military,— the Irish Catholics claiming that the Eng lish violated its engagements as related to them. From Limerick we proceeded to Dublin, calling on the way at Tipperary. Dublin is huilt on both sides of the river Liffey; is a tine city, with many elegant streets, splendid public buildings, and a quarter of a million inhabitants. The streets are crowded with people; the ladies are hand some, and one sees a great deal of fashion and aristocratic high life. Yet there is a listless air about the people, as though they had not much to do, and to an Amer ican at least the city looks as if it belonged to tlie past. It is well supplied with places of interest and amusement; is the seat of a I'niversity and the higher comas of law. VVe spent here and in its vicinity eight very industrious days in sight seeing. Some of the most notable things in Dub lin are the bridges; Sackville street, which no one who has ever seen will forget; the Hank of Ireland, formerly used as the Pnr I lkuuent house Trinity College, built in I tile Corinthian style and 300 feet in length j the Castle of Dublin, one of the vice legal residences of the Lord Lieutenant of lre i land for tlie time being, and containing the throne ot the representative of royalty the Custom House, a quadrangular build ing of great size and highly decorated the famous four courts, where the courts of Queen's Bench, 'hancery. Exchequer and Common Pleas are held in one magnificent pile of building, with a tacade of 150 feet facing Sun's Quay, etc. The city is well supplied with statues among them are one Tom Moore, which is very heavy and prosaic; one of the Burke and one of the Goldsmith in front of Trinity College, Doth by Foley, and both admirable. In the City Hall is a no ticeable one of O'Connell, by Hogan, a notable Irish sculptor; and a remarkable one of Henry Gratten, by Chantry, full of j life and fire. In the centre of Staekville I street and facing the general Post Office is a statue of Lord Nelson, on a fluted col umn 120 feet high, raised by subscription among the Irish admirers of the hero of Trafalgar. At No. 21 Merrtou street is shown the birth place of the great Duke of Welling ton, and at No. 12 Aungier street the birth place of Tom Moore, a comfortable look ing brick house with a bust of the poet in a niche in the front wall, and a grocery store in the basement. Among the chief places of interest is the.venerable Cathedral of St. Patrick, begun by Archbishop Comyn in 1190, cruciform in shape, consisting of nave, transepts, choir and lady shape The latter portion was used by George IV. as chapter house for the Kinghts of St. Pat rick. In the chancel are two mural tab j lets marking the resting places of Jonathan i Switt, once Dean of the Cathedral, and of Mrs. Hester Johnston, the “Stella” of his muse. The National Gallery of Ireland, sit j uated on Leinster Lawn, though still un j finished, has cost in private subscriptions I and fiarliamentary grants upwards of $130,000. The lower room—a very hand I some one—is devoted to the exhibition of I statuary, mostly casts from the antique; the upper rooms to pictures. Here are a considerable number of paintings, with many copies from the old masters, and, i as it‘seems to me, of no very great merit. In the “loan collection” were several re markably lino pictures, mostly owned by i Earl Spencer. There is also at present a line collection of water color paintings. lent b\ ihe Scion* arid Art Department, South Kensington Museum of London. I Also a series of upwards of fifty drawings, and sketches by the late J. M. W. Turner, j K. A., being part of a collection be queathed by him to the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, London, and lent by i the Trustees of that institution to the Na j liotial Gallery of Ireland. They are very j various in'subject, are drawn in lead peii eil, pen and ink, sepia, tint and tint color, j the first productions of the Great Master which I have seen—and appear to be en tirely characteristic.

The succession to the scat in the United States Senate now occupied by lion. Lot M. Morrill is agitated before the people of Maine under new and peculiar circumstan ces. The right to do so is unquestioned, but the propriety of distracting the party by raising this issue in the manner in which j it is presented, just on the eve of the gene- r.tl election, is difficult to be seen. We should have been contented to have had the question settled in the usual manner, believing that the general intelligence of the republicans of the State is sufficient to settle it wisely, and deprecating anything which would tend to divide or weaken our strength in the pending canvass, yhen the result of our election carries an in fluence into other States. But the issue is presented as it is, and must be met. If the result affects unfavorably the general vote, which we hope it may not, let the responsibility rest where it belongs, upon those who bring men from other States to instruct us whom we shall elect United States Senator, and who strive to sink all questions of State and loigpl interest in a purely personal aud |>olitieal contest.

Horal anU state Xetos. Boats are transporting and teams constant ly hauling ballast for the dam. Several of our citizens with ladies started yesterday for Boothbay. The first span of the Waterville and Wins low- bridge has been raised. Freddie Barrows of Gardiner recently fell from a tree and dislocated bis shoulder. The excursion down river to Swan Island, by tlio Methodist Sunday School, to-day, should be remembered. This is the last week of vacation in the vil lage district. Teachers and scholars have had a fine rest and are now ready to go to work. To the unpractised eye, it would seem that if the favorable weather continues, water w ill be running over the Kennebec dam in a month's time. We learn from tlie Deputy ('ensue Marshal, that the population of Belgrade foots up 1493 in 1800 it was 1592; showing a falling off of 99. Population of Koine, 730; in 1860, 804; showing a falling off of 134. The engineers of trains have been cautioned to use extra care to prevent their trains from running over cattle. No excuse will be re ceived for striking cattle when they can he seen at a sufficient distance to stop the train. The Dirigo Base Ball Club left this city yesterday forenoon at eleven o’clock, for Bos ton. on their annual base ball tour, accom panied by about twenty-five friends. We have a correspondent with the party who will keep us posted as to their movements. The dummy was signalled to stop the other day, by an apparently distressed individual. The conductor, thinking a passenger wished to get aboard, or that there was some obstruc tion on the track, stopped the “machine.’ whereupon he was greeted by a verdant indi vidual w ith, "Say. have you seen my cow f" Every trader on the street feels the effect of the increase of our working population by the operations at the dam. On Saturday evening all the stores wen- well filled with customers making liberal purchases. Many of these customers are strangers here, employed in I rebuilding the dam. Wednesday and Thursday, the 21st and 22d of September, have been decided upon as the days for a reunion of the schoolmates at j Little Blue School, Farmington. It is pur- posed that all scholars at Little Blue while under the charge of Mr. A. II. Abbott will join. The High and Grammar School House will be dedicated next Friday afternoon. The services will be appropriate and interesting to the friends of education. The singing on the occasion will be done by the scholars of the High School, and these are requested to meet l'rof. Milliken in the new High school room, on Thursday A. M. next, at 10 o’clock, for practice. The State Sabbath School Convention is to he holden at Bath. September 13th, 14th and 15th m xt. Mr Jacobs of Chicago, and Mr. Ostrander of New’ York, two distinguished Sab bath School workers, will he present. Kcv. E. G. Porter of Lexington, Mass., will dcliv- er a lecture on sacred geology, during the session of the convention. The Camp-meeting at East Livermore will begin Sept. 5th, and close the Saturday fol lowing. Ample arrangements have been made to accommodate all#who may attend this meeting with board and lodgings. The ground is one of the most beautiful in the State, and no pains will he spared to make it entertaining to all who may resort to its cool I ig shades. The erection of the iron railroad bridge is progressing as rapidly as possible with the materials at band. In shipping the span now being p«t tip, several important parts were omitted, which must necessarily cause delay. Mr. llilt, the energetic masti r workman, says that with everything at hand he could string j the bridge in a month. The top pieces, up- j r.ghts and pillars of the ]we»cnt span are up, j and give an idea of the beauty and symmetry of the bridge when completed. A special government agent is at the pres ent time visiting the pension agencies in the country tor the purpo e of making a careful inspection of the rolls of pensions. A risoi t to the “weeding out” process is had. It is fjund, on sufficant evidence obtained, that many are drawing pensions who are not law- fully entitled to them. Ill such cases the agent causes a suspension of payment. If proof can bo produced that the disability en titling the individual to a pension bits not been removed, payments will be resumed. About seventy-five names have been suspend ed from the rolls at the office in this city. The pension agent in this city has commenced the payment of S75 to soldiers in the late war who lost a leg, and $50 to those who lost an arm, or who have been obliged to submit to resection, under the act ot June 17 last. This amount is allowtd every five years or arti ficial limbs furnished. Very few applications are made for limbs. There arc the names of about 150 soldiers w ho have lost limbs, on the rolls at the office in this city. The different U. S. Pension Agents will in a few days issue vouchers for September payment of pen sions. Pensioners who tiave changed their places of residence within the hist six months should notify the agents ut once. A gentleman who has always considered himself “smart” in business matters, says that the money made in iee the past year will be more than exhausted the next season by the specu lators who will lose immensely more than they have gained by their gbod fortunes this year. He claims that the “open winter” was the secret of their success this season. We do not think that the predictions of the old gentleman will intimidate our live Kennebec Yankees who will undoubtedly go ahead in building, repairing and filling their ice houses “just as though nothing had happened." The next winter may be a ntild one, and the ice crop south fail. “Nothing venture, nothing have,” is a maxim that applies as well to the coot business of putting in stores ot ice ns to anything else.

The Prussians to Surround Metz Uy a Circular Railway. MARSHAL bazaine ABSOLUTELY C l Toi l from HIS RESOURCES. McMahon Believed to be Surrounded. HEAVY SEIGE GUNS AT THE PRUS SIAN FRONT. The French Prepared to Fight lor Sev eral Months to Come. London, Aug. 22. Special to N. Y. World. London, Aug. 22. The Crown Prince i believed to he marching on Paris, direct, and it is reporte d that McMahon and Uanrobert 1 lire moving upon the road taken by him. His army is estimated at 200.000. French Marshals are supposed to have an equal number of the troops of the 1 in**, hut it is i believed that only great and good fortune can stop his advance much short of Paris. Tiie Garde Mobile returning to Paris from tiie front, doubtless because it is unprovided with arms. The Prussians intend to surround Metz with circular railway. The Marquis La Vallette, French Minister to England, has been instiucted to make de mands here similar to those of Prince Na- polcon at Florence. It is certain that M. Oliivier is still in Paris. Madame Canrobert and family arrived in London yesterday. It i' sad that Marshal Bazaine is absolutely cut off from his resources, the Prussians be ing between him and Paris. McMahon is also believed to be surround ed. Convoys with provisions have gone for ward to supply both armies. One hundred and sixty thousand men have passed through Paris to the front since Fri day morning. It is generally thought here, however, that the march of the Prussians can not be arrested before reaching Paris. It is said that there are now nearly 300,000 good troops at and near Paris. It is believed that one more decisive battle gives Paris to the Prussians. Prince Napoleon is at Florence on a mis sion, it is said, to demand the mediation ot Italy. The Journal Official of Paris to-day, bc licvt that Marshal Buzuinc's plans have been baffled. The Times this morning has a telecram from Berlin containing the following :—Eng land would no doubt prefer to have the old German provinces of Klsass and Lothringer established into an independent and neutral slate. H. 1). Armier, North German Envoy at Rome, lias paid a i-it to Garabaldi, at Capre, in cun si queuce of an alliance between Italy and Fnm« c. Two sons of Count Bismark are officers in tlie Piussian army, and both were wounded in recent battles. A large number of heavy seige guns have arrived at the Prussian front. The balls thrown by the niitrailleurs were explosives. Ten thousand German troops collected be tween Ilazel and Mulhanscn ill close proximi ty to the .Swiss frontier, and have begun throwing the bridge over acioss the Bhiue at thatjioint. Switzerland protests against any violation of neutrality ol her treaty. Austria, Germany and Vienna have pro nounced in favor oi Prussia, and have issued a proclamation calling on all patriotic breth ren to rally to support Prussia and German unity. The French Governments have forbidden exportation of lood. The Prussians are surrounding Verdun which is impel Kelly defended. Piince Napoleon, after accompanying bis family to a place of safety in Italy, lias re turned. The Paris correspondent of the Standard says:—The French, notwithstanding their enormous losses, will continue to tighi lor weeks, even months to come. Minister Washburne continues as diplo matic agent for the Prussian government at Paris. All reliable advices from the seat of war show the Germans are seeking to surround Uazaine and prevent rcintorceinents from Paris joining him. A despatch from Meserves dated to-day, says ti e loss of the Prussians in the last bat tle was fearful, more than 40,000 wounded re maining on the battle fie ld w ithout assistance. Thu Prussians asked permission to send tire wounded home through Belgium. The rumor from Luzemburg that the French had occupied Verdun is contradicted. The Berlin Journals print a letter from King William to Queen Augusta, dated Bez onviile, Aug. 10, of which the following is an extract: “At about 8-30 P. M. fighting ceased grad ually. Without this 1 should have acte d at Konnigratz, but Von Boon saved me this al ternative. The troops have performed mira cles of valor against the enemy who were equally as brave and withdrew by incites, re suming the ofleusive to be again repulsed. I ennnot foretell the fate ot the enemy. I shrink from learning our loss. I had de signed 1 ivouaeking lu re, hut 1 find that I am without any baggage, in fact I have not been rid of my clothing for 30 hours.-’ Some of the Paris Journal* having asserted that the Hamburg American Steamship Co. had tendered vessels to the Prussian govern ment as transports, agents of the line heri publish a statement denying the report. The North German Gazette eatigorieally denies the rumor now circulating through Italy that Prussia has ottered to send a garri son to Home to replace the French troops lately withdrawn. M. Ollivier has been attacked with brain fever, and his life dispared of. The Journal Official this morning in ex plaining the lack of advice* from Metz, says the military situation is such that this circum stance need not alarm, still less discourage. If the enemy happened for a inomc nt to hold Bazaine’s army m ar Metz, lie has done so at a great sacrifice, and he at the same time is compelled to keep the corps of Prince Fred erick Charles and Cu n. Steinmetz. What in the meantime will the corps of the Prince Koval do? March directly on Paris or join the other two corps in an effort to crush the army of Marshal Bazaine. The latter sup position is more probable, but they must take into consideration that an army is re-united at Clmlons or some other point, under orders of Marshal McMahon, an army which may place the Prussians in the same situation as they boast they have put the army of Marshal Bazaine: that is to say, cut them off and blockade them up. Let us with confidence await events. In any ease supposing our ar mies are defeated at Metz or at Chalons, the Prussians may expect to encounter at Paris other and greater difficulties thin any they have met with up to the present time. Paris, they may be sure, will defend herself to the last drop of blood and to the last cartridge. She will thus give entire France all the time necessary to come to her defence, anti then there will be no hope for those who have to brave our ramparts. Not one ot them will return to his country. Berlin. Aug. 22. Bismark’s regiment ha* several times been reported totally annihilated, but lias not yet been under fire. A fetter of Queen Victoria to the Empress Eugenie, dated Aug. 15, relating to mediation, is published here to-dav. She regrets her in ability ts mediate. She intimates that it is an affair for Cabinet, and Cabinet thinks the time is inopportune. The Prussians oc cupy Mezerves. New York, Aug. 22 The follow ing is from private sources London, Aug. 22. Crown Prince with an army of 150,000 strong, is u] parcntly intend ing to march on Paris by the valley of the j Euibe. Marshal McMahon has his head-quarters at St. Digier. and is moving to suppoit Marshal Bazaine, who is under guns at Metz. Florence, Aug. 22. A war appropriation of 40,000,000 lire has passed both chambers. Plymouth, Eng., Aug. 22. A French side w heel corvette has just cap tured a Prussian bark off this port. Many spectators on the beach w itnessed the opera tion. Pares, Aug. 22. Late advices have been received from Ern stein, a town near Strassburg. The Prussian army beseiging Strassburg had caused the people of Ernstein to change the course of the li>tie river ill, in that neighborhood, in order to stop the supply ot water for the city, i he Prussians had appointed a Mayor lor Ernstein. The General in command at Strass huig had driven out of the defences all who consumed army stores without affording aid. The Journal Official this morning says The Minister of the Interior made public a note from the Minister ot War, to the effect that the governments have received no des patch ea from the army of the Rhine tor two days, on account of intcriuption of the tele graphic communications. lie thinks the plans of Marshal Bazaine have not yet suc ceeded. The heroic conduct of our soldiers in forcing the enemy in superior numbers, permits us to hope for success in other oper ations. The enemy’s pickets have appeared at St. Digier. The Journal Official to-day reproduces a circular of administration, inviting farmers and others to store their grain, &c., in Paris. The destruction of Bois do Bologne has been commenced. Only those portions near the walls ot the city will be cleared away. The ramparts are strongly fortified and forts fully prepared, and the entrance to the city may be closed at any moment by drawbridges. It is reported that in case of seigo all strang ers w ill he compelled to leave the city. The English Embassy is anxiously await ing favorable opportunity to introduce pro posals for peace. It is said, let the turn of event? he* what they may, there will be inter position, and that betore the end ot the month. One hundred Priests going to the armies as volunteer assistance in the hospital, yes terday passed through Paris, carrying their knapsacks on their hacks. Remnants of regiments of cavalry, cuir assiers and lancers, so terribly cut up in the late battle, arrived here la>t night, and were received with great enthusiasm. The fortress of Toni was bombarded by the Prussians on the Khh. but not seriously damaged. The Empress 1ms uakcd permission to cross Belgium. Napoleon reported to have escaped from France. An appeal to Frenchmen to conic to the rescue of France will be issued immediately, and the Orleans family allowed to enter France. Mcndon, near Paris is to be fortified. Puris is provided for 90 days, and the forts around it contain six months supplies. The affair of quarries at Jaumont. was hut an episode. Bazaine bad twenty milts to go to reach Verdun, when the Prussians suc ceeded in istabli-hing themselves between him and Meuse. Since then there has been no communication with Paris. The Emperor is so unpoi ular that he was obliged to hide himself at Chalons. Special to N. V. Herald. London. Aug. 22. A despatch from Paris stales that an alarming demonstration by the people took place on Saturday, occasioned by a report that Marshal Bazaine had been defeated. The disturbance was only quieted by a bold declaration of Palikao, that Ba zainc had not been defeated, which statement was posted on the walls throughout the city, and had the effect of quieting the people. The report that Crown Prince of Prussia was before Chalons is contradicted. It is believed that lie is on the way to Paris. The Constitutioncl published a circular from the Minister of the Interior to the Pre fects Departments, announcing that orders have been given for the distributions of arms to the people from the arsenals. The Min ister continues: “Arm without delay. We are in a crisis, when all must come forward for the defence of the country. Influence young men by your patriotism, and use every means to make soldiers of them." The Con stitutioncl lias an editorial evidently inspiied by the government, reviewing the conduct of neutral powers—“All these negotiations are of stcondary importance. Let us happily ter minate the war, there will be time then to think of neutral powers. In the Senate to-day one minister stated after a suspension of news for forty-eight hours the government had recieved a des patch from Marshal Bazaine, confirming his former despateli in regard to the atfiiir ot the Ibtli inst. After a battle of 9 hours, Bazaine held all bis positions. The minister could not sny more, but lie would affirm that Bazaine was full of confidence, which feeling was shared by the Minister oi War. The Muniteur praises Marshal Bazaine for his bravery and energy and Count Palikao for his able administration alfairs und calls them saviours of France. A despatch from Tilsit says considerable alarm lias been created over the discovery of a lot of fire arms and amunition in the church yards and vaults heiongingto the l’olish revo lutionists. Many arr have been made', in cluding several Voles and Russians of noble birth. FBOM BANGOB. Ba.noor, Aug. 22. IJesfntctive Fire. The dwelling house and all the adjoining buildings of Alden Pudly, at Six Mile Falls,. were destroyed by fire to-day. Among the buildings were four barns, containing HO tons of hay, and all his fanning utensils, and 11 hogs. The furniture of the house was saved. TELEGRAPH TO i:vi:v*; papers. War Nows. London, 22. The battle of Hezonvillo was without a de cisive result. It was claimed hv the l'rus-j si.ms, and the French fi ll back in good or dor, without pursuit to Metz—their ammuni tion having given out. The losses of the Prussians greatly ex ceeded the French—the former losing 40,(X/0 on Thursday alone. Steinmetz’s whole corps was literally cut to pieces and his magnificent cavalry no longer exists. Some say that the Crown Prince is march ing on Chuion; others that he has halted at liar le Due. Mchoon is at Chalons. Paris is defiant. The people of Paris are enlisting hy thous ands. It is reported that the Italian govern ment have offered France troops to serve in Algeria. It is said that the Alsacian Peasantry have commenced a guerilla warfare in the Prussian rear. Lnglaml and Ifussia watch the opportunity to intervene. Kussia will not permit the, territorial aggrandizement of either party. i The special correspondent of the Tribune at the Prussian headquarters, sends the fol lowing account of Thursday's battle, written the same night on the field, forwarded hv a messenger to iSaarbruck. and reaching Lon don thence hy telegraph on Sunday evening; “A battle was fought to-day (Thursday) fore noon. We call it the battle of Gravelottc. It began at ten in the morning and lasted till after nine this evening. “I’ntil noon it w*as an artillery duel. The French lines sfetchcd along the hills cover ing the two roads leading from Metz to Ver dun having on their right flank a farm house known as S.i Viilette, with a walked garden, and they held in g’eat force a sunken road that led straight from Gravelottc to the centre of their position. On the French L ft the road wound over the crest of the hill on which twelve earth works had been thrown. Light nietrailleurs besides artillery were posted to command every approach to this strong position, and their guns swept the valley reaching from Gravelottc’eus»ward, hy which the Prussians had to advance. Behind this line of strong defence lay the Port of St. Quentin making the position ap parently one of impregnable strength and completely proteeting^the French rear. The position fir-t held hy the Prussians was east of the French, facing toward Metz, occupy ing the southern post road to Verdun, and reaching over a chain of hills lying between Gravelottc add Kezonville. The result of the artillery contest was to compel the French to abandon their most ad vanced position, and the line by which they hoped to cover both roads, was pierced and driven back. At noon the Prussians were able to push forward their artillery, the j French guns proving unable to resist the! Prussian fire. The Prussian batteries shortly after noon were in position on either side of Gravelottc, so that neither ot the roads which at that point branch off to Verdun north and south westerly. were any longer open to the French. By 2 o’clock the French battery, covering 1 the Verdun road from the north, were si lenced. and Hie Prussians had advanced so far from the south of that road as to occupy a farm house at Malmion, a little northeast from Gravelottc. Croquet. Isn’t croquet a delightful game? Young and old. male and female, married and single, saint and sinner answer, “Yea.” Owing to circumstances over which we had no control, we have never learned to play croquet, hut made our first attempt recently. \Ye think it is fun. No doubt we made a very awkward appearance, but we encouraged ourselves by saying we must all learn and be laughed at before we can play any game. We do not think any one ever played croquet just right,the first time. But I want to ask you all, ye play ers of croquet, can you conceive of anything more annoying, more provoking,than to have that hateful hall go rolling entirely of!' the giound when you are sure you struck it just hard enough to send it through the wicket, and no further? A short time since we were invited to a croquet parly, and as we make it a rule never to decline an invitation of course we accept. Accordingly the next afternoon 1 a party of young people might have been seen I and herfnl upon llie lawn engaged in the de lightful pastime of playing croquet, "l iras a very pleasant afternoon, and the “ground’ was in a lovely spot beneath the foilage of grand old trees, so cool, so shady. The young ladies looked very pretty In their white dresses ami blight sashes, and as they tripped like fairies over the lawn, they lifted their white robes just enough to display their stylish croquet slippers with the bright silver buckles almost as large as the slippers. We don't think weadmire these slippers hut then they are “sty lish.” But we do like to see a pretty foot, and when a fair young aoquetest discloses a pretty hoot perfectly fitted to her tiny feet we admired her good taste and watched her cun j ning little leetas they tripped lightly through the game. But my readers may think I am digressing and ask what ladies feet have to do with the game, hut every woman of sense knows that it has a great deal to do with it. amj if her foot is pretty now is the time to show it. But to return to the party which we 1 left upon the lawn. There was a stylish young brunette from Boston present who ap parently considered herself a “decided suc cess” as a croquetes*, and when she tossed her head and shook her raven tresses and long ear jewels, wo thought she could co quette as well as croquet, however, this may all be fancy. But we do know that this same young lady had a sharp tongue. And we all know it there is any rim in a person it will out on an occasion like this. We know noth ing of the game, hut by paying strict atten tion with oijr eyes and ears we ascertained that those who could talk the loudest, and in the strongest terms accuse “the other side1' of not “playing fair," “cheating," “taking too many knocks,>v &.C., &c., were considered tho best players. Wo think this is part of the game, and the largest part. Consequently one must learn to use liis tongue as well as his mallet or ho will (lever became a good player. I«n t It fun when you make a “good hit?" and are told that yon trre “doing well,” and when all tl* company clap their liands and cry y ou did splendid,” aren’t you perfectly elated? Wily we certainly think we jumped up as much as two feet At'*' first time we “did splendid.” Speaking of feet fefnlnds us that there is pain as well as pleasure in this game, particularly to an awkward player, viz when somebody's great hard ball comes plump against your croquet slipper, or when you wish to hit your ball such a knock as shall send it spinning through all the wickets at dnee, and through awkwardness strike your foot the fearful blow intended for the hall. Oh! don't it send you spinning for a lew minutes? We came near knocking our toot entirely off in this manner once. Miss Brunette from Boston watched us as we played, and we heard her make some remarks not very complimentary. And when we got through the last wicket and w ithin a foot of the stake, every time we would knock for tlie stake our hall would go just six inches be yond. Miss Brunette thought us very awk ward. and the tenth time we struck she told us plainly we were a “fool.” Very strong language this, but it is of the kind in vague upon the croquet ground. If any man wishes to know what people think of him let him play croquet with them one afternoon, and if lie can pass the trying ordeal without being called a “knave” "a cheat,” “a dunce,” “an idiot," and sundry other names quite as pleas ant lie is a man “in whom there is no guile.” We felt decidedly verdant when Miss B. in formed us that we had “spoiled the game,” and “the side we were on could not expect to will with such a miserable player,” and were in constant fear that she would propose that they throw Jonah overboard. Indeed she looked as though she would like to be the whale to swallow it. The next game we retired and let Miss B.. take our mallet. She moved away gracefully. The first stroke she sent her hall against the wicket with such force as to knock it down. This she declared en titled here to two more knocks. A young gentleman come to her aid and placed the wicket in “position.” The second knock she got her hall 'in position,” and the third sent it tluough the first wicket and knocked down the second wicket. Miss B., snapped her ryes, shook her head and informed us that this “entitled her to three more knocks.” She is a better player than we are because after her ball was through the last wicket she struck only live times and a halt before hit ting the stake. We do not understand all tlie “in’s” and “outs" of the game, but we do know that it is hard work to get “in position,” hut easy enough getting out. Yours truly, Nelly Nettle.
