To tHe Eprror or THE Heraup:— What can be more disgusting than the sight which daily meets the eyes of the ferry passen- gers to and from Brooklyn? At the foot of Roose- welt street there is constantly 2 score or more of men and boys, without a particle of clothing upon them, running up and down the docks and con- tantly parading themselves before the female passengers on the boats. They seem to manifest a desire, not to keep out of sight, but to expose themselves as much as possible. The boys have ven become so bold as to board the boats and jump from them as they are leaving the slips. This monstrous nuisance should be abated at nce. The policemen ought to be instructed to rest any one engaged in the indecent practice. t is certainly unlawful to expose one’s person ia this public manner, and if a few arrests were ade and the police kept the gangs of men and joys dispersed a speedy end would soon be rought to these ie eresete proceedings.

Ou the right side of the village the Prus sian guns were firing at a tremecdouss rate, and three rounds fell equally tn Welssenburg and in the midst of the \trocps. Several houses were on fire and a large number 0! soldiers lay dead or wounded. { about eleven o'clock General Vohcan’s division was commencing to retire. However, a new attack was ordered. The Turcos led the way, and, bayonet in hand, threw themselves on one of the Prussian batteries of artillery. All proved to be useless. Had the French fasisted on atiacking the enemy any longer there would not have been one of them left alive on the ground.

Enthusiasm ef the Germans—How the Nows of the Prussian Victory Was Received by Our Citizens Generally. As was but matural to suppose, the news of the Prussian victory created an intense excitement throughout the olty, especially where the German element in the population predominates. Monday morning found the majority of the sons of “Vater- land” quite early out of bed, looking anxiously for “THE LATEST” from the other side. ‘The amount of “confusion” which was pledged to France and Napoleon on Sun- day in the various saloons and gardens in the neigh- borhood of the city, ‘on the quiet,” or on the excur- sions which left the city, would have sunk the inde- fatigable Louts and La Belle France into that “lower deep” which has been said to extend from “THE LOWEST DEEP.” If pretzels, bolognas, and puddings were French- men, and if lager were French blood, then the num- ber of Frenchmen demolished and French blood spilt during yesterday would entitle tie Prussians to claim ANOTHER GREAT VICTORY. ‘The news of the victory was flying through the Ger- man quarters in this city at an early hour. The first giance at the head lines in the newspapers told the expectant Teuton that his people had been victori- ous, He did not walt then to read the account all through. He shouted to his “vrow” the good news; he children heard it, and in a few miautes it was known throughout the neighborhood. Drowsy Dutchmen, in their beds, heard the MURMURS OF SATISFACTION as they were borne upon the morning alr. They arose and soon joined some of the crowds which here and there i several streets could be seen gathered around some individual who held a news- paper and read aloud the details as they appeared inprint. Many did not wait for breakfast, but hur- fed tothe nearest lazer beer saloon, and there, in company with others of their countrymen, proceeded to give more “confuston’ to the Freuch and de- molish imaginary ‘“Crapauds,’’ ‘ais state of things continued throughout the entire day. WORKSHOPS WERE DESERTED in many instances, as the workmen were bound to rejoice. They felt too good, too much elated, to drag their minds down to the cares of every-day toll, ‘and so they remained away from their shops. From every lager beer saloon, German newspaper ofice, factory and private residence, tho owners or proprie- tors ol which possessed @ Prussian standard, THE FLAG WAS FLUNG TO THE BREEZE, and throughout the city the peculiar and not over. beautiful Pruasian tri-color could be seen at almost every turn. Little knots of men and women athered at corners or tn doorways and conversed ‘a loud aud joyful tones about the victory. “OUR FRITZ,” quoth one naturalized Americaa of Teutonic extrac- tion, “he vos zum bunkins, I bates you.

Bonfires, impromptu processions, giees, choruses, cheers, and the jingle of lager mugs Kept che city alive until “the wee, sma’ hours.’” Among the French Residents, There was not, by any means, such despondency a3 could compare with the buoyancy and boisterous enthusiasm of the Germans. One staid old gentle- man explained to a few listeners that +'Zis victoree ze Prussians zink veel be vera mooch fora ze finale ray- zult. Z15 is von mistek.

Another little Frencliman asserted that this aefeat was really better than a victory for the Freach, as it ‘would rouse the eutire people to DETERMINED AUTION and make the war sharp and short. An old New Yorker explained to a small group that he firmly be- leved the war would become general throughout Europe, all the smaller nationalities would go in ou either one side or the other, probably with France, then “the big fellow, Russia, will put on his seven league boots, fall in behind old William and back him mir “What will England do?” said a bystander. “ENGLAND WILL MAKE ALABAMAS and preserve an armed neutrality, She will hold up the scales of justice, and if one side gets an Ala- bama bigger than the otler then she will try to make the balance right, provided she gets paid for it. Of course, if it don’t pay she will throw away the scales ‘and build the boats as may sult her trea- sury bost.’” It wouid be dimicult, indeed, to give a full descrip- tion of the feeling as exhibited m the city; but from the foregoing it may be seen that the excite- ment ran lugh, indeed, throughout the day and night. way beach were thrown into @ state of great excite- ment by the following occurrence:—Mr. McOumb, a builder, of New York, who was bathing, assisted @ young lady, a Miss Jennte Fields, in floating; but the tide being very nigh and under-current unusually strong, they were drawn into a hole, when both disappeared beneath the water.

Just as McCumb was sinking for tho third time ne also was saved by expert swimmers, a baton named Gleason catching him by the hair. it was believed for a time that he would not recover, but restoratives were administered and he was rolled on a barrel, and nally he opened his eyes to life.
