SMALL KNIGHT, No. 16 Market8 f»r CuBMlidalUu. The New York Ueralil thinks the genera government will have to interfere to protec the people against the evils of consolidation The State of Illinois has taken a step t this end. She made a provision lately in lie constitution to prevent railroad cousolidatiui and to chock the growth ot this gigantic mu uopoly. Other States might do the satue.hu we have little hope that many of them wil do so. Is it likely, for example, that tin Legislature of Pennsylvania, will pass an; law inimical to the interests oi the Centra Railroad of that State when that road is al powerlul and controls the State as much a or more than the railroads of New Jersey d a»d knocked off the ears that Jell (leaving the remaining ears for seed and the (odder intact for winter use, I suppose,) ami striking the rock on which the dam was built which extended up on dry laud, fol I lowed it down uuder the water and the dam, and burxttd there, causing the destruction. -Neither surmise seem3 very probable. A Loo us Boiiobab.—A wide-awake young man, who lives on the west side somewhere was so wide awake last Thursday morning, w in n l.o got up to look at the fire across the Cove, that while gazing at aud admiring the lmid illumination on the rainy sky, he heaid a man walking up stairs in his next neighbor’s house which he knew wras locked up and its i occupants all out of town. He thought at 1 once of the recent burglaries in our city, and that here was another, which it was his duty to investigate, aud hurrying on his habila ments he rushed into the street, and after a long search found one of the guardians of the night, and surrounding the house they found the hack door open, and then they thought they had him. t he policeman first entered, softly, and bade the young man fol low him quietly, which he did, very quietly, and at a sale distance. The patrolman passed through the hall, and opening a door, was welcomed by the man of the house himself, who had returned to the city on ODe of the early trains, and had been up to the roof of his house to look at the fire, like his Iriend next door, who heard bis heavy step on the stairs and took hiui for a burglar, and the trio then indulged in a hearty laugh over the sup posed burglary, which, like Jacob’s ladder of olden time, was visionary.—Providence Jour nal. _ Cfosaip and UleiiHiag*, —Brigham Young has offered himself to Lydia Thompson’s whole troupe. —Iowa boasts an editor, 21 years old, who weighs only 30 pounds.

^_ THE PRESS. Wednesday, Morning, August 17, 1870. The Keiremt Recent advices indicate that the capture of Paris by the Flench army may be looked for at no very distant day. The Emperor would no doubt prefer to quarter his troops in Ber lin, but he may thiuk himself lucky to get Paris. The brilliant exploit of allowing a do tacliment of bis troops to be surprised and probably defeated while ciossing to tlio left bank of tbe Moselle, will not probably add to the estimation in which his generalship is held. The suspension of private telegrams to and from any of the departments occupied by the troops is a significant circumstance, lu the Italian war Napoleon showed no anxiety to preveut the world from knowing anything about bis victories, and he probably would not be slow to tell of it now if be had anything to tell iliat w ould redound to his advantage. As matters stand we have not at this time auy reliable information as to whether he has retreated to the line of the Meuse cr as some claim to that of the Marne. In lact great dif ficulty has been experienced from the begin ning about getting any very definate informa tion from the seat of war. With lacilities for the transmission of intelligence' unrivalled in the history of civilization, a great deal lias been hitherto Jelt to conjecture. Although Marshal McMahon has made bis official re port of tbe battle of Weissembourg we have no reliable intelligence as to tbe numbers en gaged in tbe battles, or the extent of the losses on either side. We know in general terms that the Fiencb have been beaten and that they have retreated either behind the Moselle or still farther, and this is about all that is certainly known. It is scarcely possible that the Frenr.i army can keep cn retreating as it has without getting seriously demoralized, and this may more than counterbalance tbe aJvautage of additional numbers. Tims far it is evident that the French have been out generaled at every step and they will have to make dpsperate and well directed efforts ii they expect to retrieve their fortunes. The Hirer*. As the rivets between the German frontier and Paris have a stragetic importance we give a brief description of the M. The Moselle rises in the southeast of tlie department of Vosges in the northeastern part of France and flows N. N. E. 328 miles, and empties into the Rhine on the left at Cobleutz. It is naviga ble from its confluence with the Meutlie near Frouard. The Meutlie i ises in tlie Vosg-s mountains, flows nottliwesterly atid joins the Moselle on the left at Frouard. Since the victories of the Prussians tlie French line of detense lias been on these two rivers. Next on the road to Paris comes tlie Meuse, which it is thought does not alibid a tenable line ot deiense. This river rises in the department ot l pper Marne next to Vosges, flows in a windins course toward the north through Bel gium and Holland 434 miles, and enters the North sea by three mouths. The Maine, the next line ol deiense, rises in the department of Upper Marne, ai d alter flowing northwest and west 210 miles empties into the Seine on the right at Charenton. Chalons, the report ed headquarters of the Emperor, is on this river at a distance of 90 miles from Paris. The Democbatic Convention.—The second session ot the Democracy at Bangor yesterday appears to have been remarkably harmonious. Gen. Smith of Waterviile de clined a re-nomination and Col. Charles W. Roberts of Bangor was nominated for Gover nor by 072 votes, nearly every one that was thrown. By the declination of Gen. Smith and Mr. Kimball no name but Col. Roberts’ was before the Convention. Without draw ing any comparisons between tlie successful candidate and those who at Hie beginning ap peared to he his competitors,we can frankly say that tlie Democratic party could not at this juncture have selected a more available can didate or one that will call out a large party vote. Col. Roberts is especially the favorite of the Young Democracy. His war record is untarnished. Enlisting at the very outbreak of the rebellion he served with the 2d Maine Regiment, as its Lieutenant Colonel and sub sequently as Colonel, at the first Ball Run, Yorktown, Gaines’ Station, Cbickahominy, Malvern Hill an(] the Second Bull Run. He' D a gentleman of ability', culture and wealth_ a graduate of Bowdoin and a successful mer chant, and in our judgment one of the strong est men in the Democratic party, and bis friends will make a good fight with him. His I election is not among tlie possibilities of the campaigu, but tlie Republican patty will well understand that they have an opponent ol no mean personal pretentions, and the campaign will be the moie animated than it'we were fighting one of those galvanized fossils that V' c weie to :i of ;U the Portland Convention. Our enemies mean fight, and the Republicans must go to work now—not to defeat Colonel Roberts—but to keep bis party buried under the iarge majorities that have been given to our Governors every year since the opening ot the war. i'o!iltcal Notes. The New York Times, commenting on the Chamberlain movement recently inaugurated here says “We do not remember any similar display in a Senatorial canvass. It is simply an expression of the pobular vote, which is le gitimate and entitled to respect. Certainly it is an improvement upon methods frequently adopted by stale Legislatures when a Sena torsbip is in question. The Territorial Enterprise predicts the suc cess oi the Republican Party in Nevada next Fall. The Columbus, (Ohio) Journal, says the Republicans hare already begun a sharp cam paign, and have a thoiough organization. The whole delegation to Congress is nineteen, of which the Republicans now have Jfourleen. Three are in doubt, and at least two on the Democratic side. The Repub'icaus ofNebraska have nomi nated David Butler lor Governor, and John Taft’e lor Representative in Congress: Their P'attorm reaffirms the principles enunciated in the National Republican Platform of 18f>8, endorses President Grant’s Admimistralion', expresses sympathy with Germany, and ap proves the action ol Congress in reducing the taxes. 'i’lie Republican candidates for Governor of New York are Horace Greeley, Marshall O. Roberts, George Opdyke, and Stewart L. Wood lord. Greeley’s stock is said to stand the highest just now. John I. Baker of Beverly, it is announced Will preside at the Massachusetts State Tem perance convention, on Wednesday, and Wended Phillips is pretty sure to receive its nomination tor governor, although it is not certain he will accept it. The Demociats of Penobscot county on Monday made the following nominations:— For Senators—John Larrabee of Carroll Daniel Stone of Ilampdcn and Bradbury Ifob-’ inson of Corinth; for Sheriff—James Garland of Carmel; for Clerk of Courts—Daniel San born of Bangor; for County Attorney—Fred M. Laughton of Bangor; for Register of Pro bate—Charles M. Hersey of Bangor; for County Treasurer—Timotliy P. Bachelder of 4.... r->_... vviuaiiasiunu Samuel Waters of Patten. Tiieise is a dispute between the Repub lican and Democratic journals of New York about the real population of that city. The census does not reveal so large a population as the latter expected- It becomes something of a politieat question, because the number of inhabitants in the city will go far to deter mine finally how large a proportion voted ear ly and often. The attitude of the Democrat ic journals in claiming for the city a large pop ulation is significant. Why should they be so anxious to prove that there were no frauds if 1 their bands are clean? The population in j 1860 was given in the census as 805,000 i while the census of 1805 gave 726,000. A careful comparison of the results anived at by different authorities leads to the conclusion 1 that the figures given by the census of 1800 were ‘oo lame as those of 1805 may have been too small. It is estimated from the cen- sus returns thus far that the population of that city is about 900,000 or it may be a little 1 larger as many families are now out of the j city. In looking at the comparatively small increase, it must be remembered that New 1 York proper has an area of only 13,352 acres, and that a population of 900,000 would give j* 07 inhabitants to the acre. It will he seen 0 therefore that the city proper is getting some- d iii mi .nil nm a what crowded and uncomfortable. Conse quently many who do business in the city seek residences outside in the neighboring towns and villages, while more and more room must yearly be given up to the purposes of an ever increasing trade. The number of people who really belong to the city though 1 not living in it is probably equal to the high est estimate of its population. County Convention—Harrison. At a Republican caucas held in this town August 13 just. O. G. Cook, Silas Bullard, and C. C. W. Sampson, were chosen delegates to the County Convention, and the following Reso lution was adopted. Resolved That the Republicans of Harri ,son in caucus assembled August 13th 1870 having full confidence in the Integrity, ability, and sound patriotism of the Hon. Lot M. Mor rill, desire his re-election to the place he now fills in the U. S. Senate, and to this end our delegates to the County aud Senatorial Con vention to be held at Portland August 17tli 1870, are earnestly requested to act. Westbrook.—James Pennell, Moses G.Dow, George C. Codman, F. M. Ray, John E. War ren, David Forrey, Charles II. Brackett, Charles E. Boodv, George Libby, Wm. P. Merrill, II. Milliken. Vaccination is not compulsory in Russia, nor would it seem to be very generally prac ticed voluntarily. The result may be seen in the fact that 10,350,000 persons have died of small-pox in that country during the last sev enty years. These figures would seem to in dicate that the recent complaints about the worthlessness of vaccination as a preventive of small-pox are without adequate foundation. General News. Sunday morning the body of Andrew Henry, 30 years of age, was found in a raceway in Trenton, N. J., The upper lip was split through, and one side of the face terribly swollen and bloody. The pockets of his pan taloons were turned inside out, indicating a robbery, aud prouably, murder. Memphis lias come very near having a sort of Nathan tragedy. Monday morning about half past two, some of the inmates of a board ing house were awakened by a noise of per sons being engaged in a scuffle in an adjoin ing room. They immediately procured a light, and on entering the room found a young gentleman, the occupant of the room, sitting upright in bed, his shirt almost tom from him and bloody—blood io spots on the bed cloth ing aud mosquito bar. He gave incoherent replies on being questioned, and all that could be ascertained was that lie had b»eu attacked, and had defended himself as well as possible, and his assailant or assailants had fled on the approach of lights. The Engineer’s Bureau is about beginning to clear tbe wrecks and obstructions of war out of James River. At Drury’s Bluff it bas been ascertained that the following must be removed to put the river in good navigable ordir: The wreck of the iron clad ram Fred ericksburg, sunk wiLh armor, guns, Ac.aboard: the iron gunboat Raleigh. 150 tons, sunk with guns, Ac. on board; the war steamer, James town, a wooden vessel of 1200 tons, sunk with guns, Ac. on board: tbe steamer Curtis Peck, 450 tons; schooners Wythe, 300 tons, Ilooch, 225 tons: a brig of fro tons, and a small schooner of about 80 to 100 tons. Also IS or 20 cribs of timber and stone, each 22 leet square, averaging IS feet high. Tlie Titusville Herald of the 11th states that the total production of petroleum in the oil region lor the month of July was 495,041 barrels, or a daily increase of over 4000 bar rels over the month of July, 1809. The prices during the early part of the month were $4 a $4.20, but on the declaration of war in Europe the price dec'ined about 75 cents per barrel' closing on the last day at $3.25 a $3.45 per barrel. The large increase of production is partly attributable to the sinking of several large wells and by the completion of many wells in the older districts. The Advance of the Prussian Armv. fhe New York Tribune’s correspondent telegraphed from Luxembourg on Monday af ternoon (hat the line to Metz was again open. The battle of Sunday lasted from 4 o’clock until 9. A correspondent at Ludwigshafen wrote, on Friday that the advance of the southern army had arrived near Hagenau. iwo lieutenants with a handful of cavalry en tered the town and rode through the streets. On reaching the barracks thev summoned the French to surrender. Men instantly threw their chassepots out of the windows and in this manner a few cavalry held and captured 200 prisoners, 130 horses and 10 wagons filled with supplies. Since tbe battle of Weissen burg numbers of prisoners have been captur ed daily. Many also have lied to the woods and villages and were compelled from hunger to surrender. The country is exhausted and the population almost famished. Even Ger man soldiers lacked provisions for one day. Great numbers of troops continue to arrive from all parts of Germany. Our special unites from Mannheim Thurs day that notwithstanding the Germans’nu merical superiority preparations continue without cessatiou. Military trains are push ing steadily onward and regiments pass through here filled with enthusiasm. The second line of the German army is now mov ing forward to support the first. Until to-day this second line, especially on the left flank, hardly existed, all effectives going to strength en the front and not until the front line was complete did the second begin to take posi tion. It is now completely formed ard placed. It is composed almost wholly of Prussian i troops and perhaps is even a better army than the first. Trains filled with wounded and prisoners are continually arriving. The latter are well treated notwithstanding the barba rous excesses committed by the French peas ants. Tlie people are bitterly hostile and cruel. Twenty peasants have "been shot by court martial for mutilating and murdering the wounded. A member of the court gives me some particulars; a Protestant sister of chari ly testified that cne peasant near her hacked and wounded a Bavarian to pieces with a scythe, and liisson cut another man’s throat. Even members of the sanitary c «rps distin guished by their red cross on a white ground, were killed by shots front the. houses. Tim Cnors on the Theatre of War.— A Frankfort letter of July 30 to the London News says A more unfortunate time for the outbreak ofhostilities could hardly have been selected. The crops ate nearly ready lor the sickle, and i here is hut a scauty supply of labor. Through out the vast tract of country I have traversed, horn the fertile valleys of the Rhine and Mo- selle, to the sandy plains which encompass Berlin, the sight of waving cornfields was the one w hich uniformly met the eye. Here and there a few women were cutting down the ripe grain, yet, in the majority of the fields, i t here were no signs of the husbandman plying his necessary task. In the vicinity of the Rhine the crops appear to be unusually lnxu- 1 riant. Tlie drouth, of which complaints are 1 made here as elsewhere, does not seem to 1 have proved very injurious. It is expected that the vintage wi 1 be unexceptior.ally good, provided an opportunity is afforded for'peace- ably plucking the grapes. When gazing upon the glorious promises ol the prolific earth, it is almost impossible to lealize the fact that a tremendous effort is being made to undo the work which has been accomplished with much toil, and lo convert file smiling cornfields and vineyards into a barren and blackened battle- ground. b met vniiuivmuin mwTriurni. Portland, Aug. 10,1870. To the Editor oj the Press: I saw by au article in the Press from “A j Voter,” that that the “the Chamberlain meet- a ing was all a fizzle”—and in another article g there is implied also, that the movement to give expression thus early for the election of Senator is wrong and irregular. Now anoth- v er voter quite as honest in his intentions and as patriotic in his devotions to the country, c thinks it is very becoming to do this very P thing. It is notorious that a few selfishly in- Ia terested office holders have been wont from Lime immemorial to manage the whole mat- v ter of preliminary caucuses and meeting so f as to bring forward just such men and°only n such as it has pleased them to bring, and ev- ai sry voter is held in disrepute if he does not cl ‘toe the mark,” so to speak. p It is my opinion, that with the exception of krse, Wyandotte Chief.

The completion ol new road enables us to offer for sale mo.e of these bonds. Mo bonds can be issued on road under construction, and on finished road the tssne is limited to $‘JO,flOO per mile. The. bonds are desirab'e as an investment for many reasons the most prominent ol which are: I’irst: Behind tb*-m and fortifying them is a paid up capital ot nearly $7,000,000. Second: The roa i is a new great trunk line run nmg between the New York Central and Erie Rail ways, and shortening the distance seventy mi'es—a very great distance properly considered, and one that alone would render ibis road a vast succt as. laird: The cost ot building the road is twice the mortgage, and a railroad is a real estate of perfect title, and, if gi od for anything, is always increasing in value. These bonds are a real estate loan of the best character at halt value. The cost ot single track is about $40,000 per mile; mortgage, $20,000. Besides, in ibis case, the real estate is in existCi.ee bejore the bonds are issued. Fourth: The Mortgage Bonds on every railroad running out of New York City are gwod, and inter est is promptly paid on them. Fifth: The total iuierest liability of this great railway, over four hundred miles in length, will be hut $560,000, Gold, per annum alter the whole line is completed. The earnings of a single month, it is expected, will exceed tLis. A consideration of the gross receipts ot the New York Centra- and Erie Ri always will be all that is necessary, we believe, to convince parties that the Midland will net, alter all expenses, a much larger mm than its interest debt.

Rraacp* ALGERIA IN A STATE OF BEIGE. Paris, Aug. 16.—Algeria had been declared in a state of seige. THE ENEMY HOVERING AROUND COMMERCY. All official dispatch from the Prefect of Metz to the Minister of the Interior is published to day. He says a body of German uhlans have been seen in the neighborhood of Commercy, marcbiug towards J?ar le Due, and.that he has therefore cut the railways in that section to impede the advance of the enemy. NEWSPAPER COMPLAINTS. The French journals complain of the brevity of the dispatches from the seat of war. Even the Const'tntiooal, semi-official organ, says the uwymvuw uvuvt^iTo precise luea or me position of either army. THE CONFIDENT TONE OF THE FRENCH PRESS. The Moniteur du Soir published yesterday an article full of confidence and resolution. The following is an extract, and is a fair exhib it of the tone cf the French press:—1“Every thing progresses well. The enemy makes haste to finish his work. He knows full well that prolongation of the war exhausts his forces. His tactics alone show that we have only to gain time to divert the Prussians from their base of operations while defending our ground inch by inch. The passage at arms which took place yesterday under the guns of Metz is the first act m the new drama. Eight days hence the energy which has marked the first operations of the invaders will have given way to discouragement and exhaustion. Our fortified towns all hold out. Bitche, Pfalz bourg and Verdan are all defended by the army aud their inhabitants answer with their g-.ins to the arrogont summons of the enemy. The national defence but just commences. Frenchmen are ready to answer the call of the couutry. See your national guards of mobile and volunteers who are on the way to the Vosges. In the mountains there sha'l Prus sians find their graves. They have asked for a war of races and such they shall have.*' The Constitutional says that the plan of con quest of the Prussians cannot any longer be a matter of doubt. The German empires take advantage of the Hohenzollera dynasty to in augurate its policy of spoliation to French ter ritory. In tho department which the chances of war have given to the enemy the King of Prussia commands at present as territorial sovereign. A decree has bee a issued by his Majesty, tbe King of Prussia, and dated St. Avoid, abolish ing all conscriptions in all French territory oc cupied by German troops. The Prussian Gov ernment, which pretends to be so well posted about men aud things in Paris does not seem to be very strong in Alsace, which will know how to find means to rejoin the national flag In the place of conscripts all menjfrom 16 years to 50 will rash to arms. Prussian journals continue to send forth their insults against the French nation. We underline these two words because Berlin newspapers formally declare that the war is made not only against thfl Gov ernment but against the entire French people. CITIES IN A STATE OF BEIGE. The Journal Official to-day contains a decree declaring the cities of Cherbourg, Brest,I/Ori eut and Rochefort in a state of seige. THE REPORTED DEFEAT OF THE PRUSSIANS. The Sub-Prefect at Verdan telegraphs as follows: To the Minister of the Interior, Verdan, Aug. 16, 6 A. M.—No news from Metz. Nothing is known to have occurred to-day. All day yes terday tbe roar of can non was heard between Metz and Verdan. Persons who reached here from that direction pay that a great battle was fought, opening at daybreak, and that the Prussians lost more than 40,000 men in the combat and had been completely defeated. During yesterday morning, at tbe extremity of my arrondissment, twenty-eight kilometres Irorn the fortifications ot Verdan, the enemy has been seen di recti nor h:a retreat to the South. Though this iutelligeuco is transmitted by authority of the Government, it has not as yet been able to verify it, and it is^ given to Ihe public under reserve by the Minister of the In terior. WAITING FOB NEWS. Official confirmation of the news of a great victory over the Prussians is impatiently await' ed. Great crowds have collected at the Bourse, at the Ministry of the Interior and on the streets. Important news his been received from Strasbourg to-day. The Prussians in that vi cinity seein inclined to retire. Some shots have been exchanged. The people of Stras bourg are determined to defend the place to the last extremity. THE PROCEEDINGS IN THE CORPS LEGISLATIN' to-day were exciting and important. Deputy Keller said that for three days now troops bad been fighting and no news bad been reeeived as to what had been accomplished. In such a situation of affairs the Chambers could not think of any other matters. The meeting of the Corps must be permanent to await com munications from the Minister of the Interior. The Minister of War, Count Palikao, said that he was not prepared to speak of a defeat that the Prussians were said to have sustained, but of a serious check, forcing them to retire and forego their attempt to disturb the retreat ol the Flench army. He had no official dis patches touching the events of yesterday, but he had reports from reliable sources and might state that the Prussians had been checked sev eral times and were retiring toward Commer cy. He was full of confidence, but could not at present enter upon t'le details. luafew days a much greater force would be under the command of Marshal Bazaine, the only-and true commander-in-chief. The Minister then retired and deputy J. Frerny took the floor. In bis remarks be re ferred to the Emperor’s proclamation to the inhabitants at Metz as having created an un pleasant effect upon the public. The speaker was here interrupted by ex pressions of disapproval and the tumult be came too great for him to bo beard and took his seat. The Chamber then voted on several laws for the prosecution of the war. Deputy Fercasle announced to the Corps that certain religious societies bad placed at the disposal of the French authorities their houses of worship for hospital purposes. La Patrie publishes an article saying that talse reports have been eirculated to the effect that nolarms are to be obtained for troops. La Patrie affirms that there is a complete provis ion of arms of all kinds, and quotes the state ment made iu the Chambers that the supply of guns was large and the quality excellent. PARIS ITEMS. A council of war to act on cases of Villette rioters assembles here to-day. The officers of the Bank of France to-day announce an arrangement of special service for distributing coin to certain establishments throughout France where employees are to be paid. The Gaulois says that the public is astonish ed to find a dispatch announcing an engage ment at Logqueil signed only by Napoleon. That journal adds that it is countersigned by Bazaine, but the latter name was suppressed in the publication of the dispatch, which is regular in other respects. Seventy-five arrests have been made in the Villette affair. It is supposed, however, that many of these were mere vagabonds who were not actually concerned in the disorders. Edmund About, correspondent of the Moni teur du Soir, has been beard from. He is alive and well and will soon return to Paris. Gen. Causade, commander at Lyons, has is sued a proclamation warning the people against future disturbances, and announcing the read iness of the authorities to repress them. Bishop of Luxembourg and several clergy men have gone to Metz to administer con&ola* tion to the dying. THE DISTURBANCES IN LYONS. Lyons, A ng. 16.—The Courier of this city !has a long statement to-day of the popular deinonstiatiou which recently occurred here. ■M———■ It sayi, "yesterday morning about 11 o'clock there was a popular commotion arising from bad news from the army in the Place Crox ourse which ended in a deplorable conflict be tween the police and people. The particulars of the affair have been much exaggerated. The originator of the trouble was an old notary named Leutillon, who is well know for his po litical eccentricities. Tbis person clambered upon the pedestal of the cross in the centre of the Place Croxourse, to mate a speech to a group of laborers. His hearers were few at the start but in a short time a large crowd as sembled and cries of “Vive La Republic” were heard on all sides. Though called upon to stop by police Leutillon persisted in bis sedi tious declamation and calling upon the audi ence to deiend him. The latter attempted to defend him with stones. The authorities seiz ed the orator, notwithstanding the violeaco of fered, but one of them having allowed one of rioters to draw his sword was struck in the ab domen, from which wound he died in a few moments. Four or si± police were wounded. Leutillon and another of the principal rioters were arrested and taken to prison between two files of soldiers. The mass of the people in the Place Croxourse took no jpart in these violent proceedings. It was all caused by a few tur bulent characters. These demonstrations are generally denounced.” NAPOLEON" TO VISIT PARIS—A OBEAT OVA TION TO BE PREPABED. New York, Aug. 16.—F. Gallocidelon has a last evening’s Paris despatch to the Courier des Etats Unis, a French paper in this city, which says Napoleon was at Verdum and will surely make a short visit to Paris this week. He will be preceeded by a bulletin of victory and receive the greatest ovation ever given a Sovereign. THE DEMOLITION OF MCMAHON’S COMMAND. London, Aug. 16. —[Special to N. Y. Her ald.]—The following letter from Gen. Troclear, commanding the Zouaves of Marshal McMa hon’s division, tells the story oi the demolition of those fine soldiers. Severne, Aug. 16.—Let us thank God wtiohas preserved me from the most terrible dangers that it is a soldier’s fate to enoouoter. It is a miracle that I am still alive without a scratch and in perfect health, but my heart is broken and I am overwhelmed with grief at the fate of the officers and my soldiers. I dare not tell yon how many I have lost. It would grieve you too much. Later I shall know the names of those you loved, but will never see again.— The gallant fellows fought like lious and he roes. Out of 65 officers 47 were killed, wind ed or missing. At 7 in the morning they were full of file anil ardor and are now all killed.— At two o’clock in the afternoon my unfor tunate Lieut. Col, Deshartier was wounded by my side. The bullet entered bis abdomen, having been discharged from only a few yards distant. He was able to squeeze my hand as be was carried off the field, tut he has probab ly died before this in a Prussian ambulance. Two chief's de battalion were shot dead and the third one is either dead or a pris oner, Lieut. Sauverex was wounded badly; but very little hope is eutertained for his re covery. I had him taken from field in an an bnlance. The bullet went through his chest. He behaved splendidly. Pierron was shot stone dead. I have but five captains here out of thirty; the others are iu|Heaveu. All my adjutants and most all of my sergeant majors shared the same fate of 'he pioneers. Better or more gallant men never breathed, and but five are left. Two who were left with the bag gage were either sabred or taken prisoners. My horses "were also captured. My poor black charger was killed under Geueral Saureur, to whom I lent him, his horse having been killed early in the action. Out of all that I bad all that remains is the clothes that I wear and 75 francs in my pocket. My Daggage with that of the Marshal has been taken. I don’t care for thit. cannot help crying inwardly when I think of all those I have lost. We fought like lions, 35,000 against 100,000. The enemy sur rounded us on all sides. General Calom was killed. Alfred De Gamraut the Duke’s broth er lost an arm. Tlie other corps suffered as Geo. McMahon behaved splendidly and did all that any man could do, but he hal not men enough. He was unable to cope with 100,000 with three times more artillery than he had.— Nevertheless we inflicted heavy loss on the enemy and that doubtless was the reason we were not moge vigorously pursued. Had such been the case the disaster would have been fearful. It is bad enough. The battle began at half past seven o’clock. After night there was a pouring rain in which we had to stand without tents or fire or lie down in the mud.— During the previous day we had marched 70 kilometres from the battle field to Severne; the last 36 were got over during the night pell mell and without stopping or sleeping. The war is a fearful siege. We are doomed to a forced inaction. THE SURRENDER OP LITTLE BERN? TO THE PRUSSIANS. Berlin, Aug.16.—The following official news has been made public to-day: Berlin, Aurj. 15, 9.30 P. M— Little Fortress Herny capitulated yesterday after a short bom* bird me nt, to the Bavarian army corps.

M.—I have just re turned from the battle field near Metz. The advance of the seventh corps attacked the ene my, who were instantly reiuforced from the fortress. The 13th division and part of the 14th sustained the advance. The contest was desperate, involving the entire line. The ene my were repulsed at all points and pursued to the glacis of the detached works near the fort ress, which enabled the enemy to give shelter to their wounded. Our wounded were in stantly cared for. B v daybreak the troops had returned to their first bivouacs. They all fought with admi-able energy. 1 have gone among them and congratulated them with all my soul. I have spoken to Gen. Steinmetz, Bastrow, Mantreffel and Geben. The following official dispatch, dated on the 15th inst., at about 4 p. m., has just been re ceived: Our advance finding themselves be fore Metz, and beliving that the enemy, who were encamped under the walls were about to retreat, Gen. Galtz’s-brigade was ordered to attack the rear guard of Marshal Bazaiue's corps and a violent combat ensued. The 2nd brigade then advanced under Asteusacken, and immediately the divisions of Generals Kamecke and Wrangel participated, driving the enemy at all points. Meanwhile the French Gen. l’Admirault endeavored to flank the 15th corps but was attacked by the reserves, which advanced with drums beating, under General Moutenffel. The enemy were splendidly re pulsed and driven into the fortress, and many were captured. Our troops advanced to Be'ls ocrux and Borney, within range of the forts. This morning the King made a reconnoisance on the field of battle, visiting the advance posts to enquire as to the transportation of the wonnded, French and Prussians alike, to a point above Keouke on the right of the Mo selle. From this point the enemy was invisi ble in the clonds of dust. We infer that the main body has departed. Switzerland. ■dekne, ang. 10.—ine owiss uorps ot ob servation has been disbanded.

A PRUSSIAN VICTORY ON MONDAY AT METZ. Berlin, Aug. 16.—Late on Monday P. M. the first aud seventh Prussian [army corps attacked the French forces under the walls of Met* and a sanguinary conflict ensued. The French were at length driven within the city with a loss of 4000 men. DEMORALIZATION AT METZ. On the same day a reconnoisance under King William in person, maintained itself some hours within two lines of the French de fences, without any effort on part of the French to dislodge them. This lact shows the utter demoralization of the French. TERRITORAL AGGRANDIZEMENT DECLINED. London, Aug. 16.—A document ascribed to Bismark is iD circulation in Prussia, declining territorial aggrandizement as a result of the war. The Bavarians have not yet been supplied with needle guns, but still use old percussion lock muzzle loaders. The French deny the capture of Bitche. It is feared that McMahon's coips at and around Strasbourg is entirely cut off from the main bof v of the armv. FRENCH ITEMS. The following items are extracted from French official bulletins: The Prussians are not in any great force before Strasbourg. The town of Bitcbe still hold out against the ene my. The railway bridge at Tergenpin on the line between Strasbourg and Basle has been destroyed by tbe enemy. The Times^in its money article says that a French victory is neced them a republican form of govern ment but in many of the States it has estab lished a military despotism, trying thereby to intimidate the neonl** make inein sunservienfc to their wicked rule. Resolved, That the ordinary expenses of the general and State governments are swiudled beyoud all precedent and calculation by the erroneous increase of the number and salaries of their officers. In this we find glariD** evi dence of the existence of a system which is rapidly corrupting the public service, robbing labor of the bread it has earned and endanger ing the liberties of the people. Resolved, That the act passed by the last leg islature which withdrew from the people of the several school districts of this State the right to regulate the mode of educating their children as they might deem best, is one of the many dangerous attempts to abridge the rights of our citizens, and abrogates a time-honored law and usage of this State. Resolved, That the tariff for protection is mainly lor the wealthy aud the monopolists. That free trade is the right of the people. Resolved, That we invite the thoughtful can sideration ot the people of Maine with whom shipbuilding and freighting have heretofore besn successful pursuits, to the fact that the seaboard of Maine languishes and daily grows poorer because of vexatious taxation and the refusal of the Republican administration to afford adequate legislation. Resolved, That while the Denocratic partv is in favor of a judicious regulation by law of the sale of intoxicating liquors, they are op posed to the present prohibitorv law and the restoration of the State Constabulary. An anti-Chinese resolution and a'resolution cofl\^ence their nominee were also adopt ed. The convention was quite full and very harmonious. The nomination of Gen.

This Company arc now pnshiog their work forward with great rapidity, and the entire line necessary to connect St. Louis aud St. Paul is graded and under contract to be finished this season. Tbe fact that this enterprise has been undertaken by s combination of leading bank ers and railroad capitalists of well known wealth, experience and ability, insures its early completion and future success. Tbe road runs through tbe richest and most thickly settled portion of Iowa, and is bu'lt in the interests of the great Northern system of roads which centre at St. Paul. The First Mortgage Bonds of the Company pay 7 per cent. Gold Interest free of Government tax, and are issued for the very small amount of $16,000 per mile. For the present, the unsold portion are offered at 95 and accrued interest. The attention of in vestors is invited to tbe fact that the road is now nearly finished, and that the Security is therefore entitled to a high rank. In our opinion, no class of investments has been found so uniformly safe and profitable as First Mortgages on completed railroads. Of 235 companies operating 30,000 miles of railroad in tho Northern and West era States, on which there is a bonded debt of $6621)00,000, we know of bnt two that do not pay their in terest regularly. WB BELIEVE THERE WILL BE NO MORE FAVORABLE TillE TO MELL GOVERNMENTS, AND BEY REALLY FIRST-CLASS RAILROAD SEVERITIES SECH AS THESE THAN THE PRESENT. W. B. MHATTEEK, Treasures After a full examination, we have accepted an Agency for the Sale of the above First Mortgage Bonds, and desire to recommend them to onr customers AS A THOROUGH LY SAFE, AS WELL AS PROFITABLE INVESTMENT. v A ir AAAvr a t A- no rm. m vv wiv j 20 Wall St, New York.
