8 THE WAR CONTINUED FROM FI?TH PAGE. yate we shall belleve so until informed to the contrary, It seems also tolerably sure that there is a considerable force at Toul, covering the railroad to Paris and threatening the Prussian left flank, as well as protecting the right Sank of the French. Granting that the French forces are as numerous as stated yesterday there must also be @ considerable force near Thion- ville, Im considering the relative strength of we contending armies, it must not be forgotten that afer a certain number is reached it 1s extremely difl- wut to manceuvre troops. Four hundred thousand wien belonging to oue army would ran a great risk ef being whippea by two armies of one hundred and fity thousand each, and simply because the latter are easily handled, while the former is almost unwieldy. I: therefore follows that 200,000 Frenchmen in front o( Metz, well intrenched, can resist any force the Prosstans can bring upon the ground in front of them. The employment of the remaining troops upon the flanks of the enemy would be the besi dis- position that could be maile of them.

ENGLAND. Advance of Three Prussian Armics— General Reports from the Continem—livssian Inter- ests and Fears—The Armies in Feint for a Posit for Battle. Lonpox, August 14, 1870. A special correspondent at Luxembourg writes, August 13, half-past four in the afternoon:—Intellt- gence has just been received here that the three Prussian armies are concentrating rapidly in the neighborhood of Nancy. The King’s army 1s said to be at Pont Mousson and Steinmetz at Frouard, which is only a few miles from Nancy, while the Crown Prince is advancing from Strasbourg, and Metz, if this be true, must have been passed to the xight. A special correspondent writes from Saargue- mines Tuesday:—The troops at Homburg ov Mon- day with the King were the Twelfth Army Corps, all Saxons. The King’s Body Guard and Life Guard went to the front on Sunday, The King wanted to go, but was restrained by the Ministers, He left on ‘Tuesday for Saarbrt with Bismarck and Moltke, Our corresponde —The King has gone to Fo: Ibis reported that Napoleon asked for an jee, but it was refused.

A French division sent yesteruay on a reconnoissauce returned, having cted nothing. The French lines extend about #'x miles beyond Meiz, and three Prussian armies are concentrating 1a their front. A special correspondent writes from Berlin Taes- day:—Seven thousand more prisoners are on their way hitner, and will go hence to the fortresses. Many French officers taken at Woerth were not wounded, Prussian soldiers say that the hardest fighting of all was at Wissembourg. There was much baw to hand work; but the French, though bravo, did not know how to nse the bayonet, and no Prussiaus re- ceived bayonet wounds. The Russian government hat stopped passenger tramic by direct route irom Berlin, aad i Js nec @ary to go via Warsaw. Ru ewspapers of the National party begin again to express fewrs ctat Ger. maby is proving too great sireugih. Preparations for @ fresh Polish insurrection are supposed to have been discovered near Thorn. A special correspondent telegraphs trom Luxem- bourg as followg:— On Sunday news arrived here that the Crown Prince had entered Luneville, Which place has been evacuated by the French. A great battle 1s expected to take place to-morrow between Nancy and Chalons. Metz is still in the occupation of the French, but, the position has been turned and all the roads be- tween Ourbruteck and Metz are closed. Nothing goes from here beyond the frontier at Thionville.

The administrations are ail in contusion and disorgantz- ation, Cash payments are virtually stopped. People surround the Bank of France waiting to obtain specie. Marseilles and Bordeaux are under martial law. "HE FRENCH FLEET, A writer from Hamburg, Thursday, says:—‘The French fleet is untikely to effect anything. Their iron-clads draw too much water to approach the coast, Prassian vessels are prohibited from leaving any port between Warhemunde and the frontier of Jutland. Neutral flags are not inctuded. General Falkenstein has Just returned from a tour of inspection of the coast defences, and ts confident Strausburg has nothing to feae from invasion. Eiglty millions of the federal five per cents war loan of a 100,000,000 were subscribed in two days. SWEDISH NEUTRALITY, , A special from Stockholm writes on Monday last. The oMcial government organ denies the report that a large camp of observation Is to be formed in Schone, Swedish neutrality is nevertheless to be eflectively maintained. Treasury bonds are to be issued to the amount of forty millions of rix dollars. ‘The Swedish preas disagree on the point whether Sweden’s neutrality shali be armed. IN IRELAND—CURIOUS NAVAL ACTION. A special, correspondent telegraphs from Dublin Sunday:—A mob, 600 strong, headed by a band playing French airs, attacked a Prussian vessel lying at Kingstown, Friday evening, and threw stones at her. They failed in trying to board the vessel and left, threatening to return the next night and “cut the throats of the bloody Prussians,” The police uow guard the vessel, Bands of people parading the streets this evening with the French flag were stopped by the police, A riot is threatened, PRUSSIAN PLANS, A special writes from the Prussian headquarters, Monday:—The engagements of Saturday were both far in our front. But few details have been re- ceived besides the official summary already sent. All letters and messages hence are delayed. What has really happened 1s in perfect accord with what I have foreshadowed more than once, The design of the German authorities was, firstly, to prevent Germany from befng made the theaire of slaughter, and, secondly, to attack the French army in three places simultaneously. The programme hag been carried out as far as the left flank of the French army are concerned; it but remains for the German centre to advance against that of the enemy. This advance was necessarily delayed until the result of the dank movement had been learned. Now that McMahon and Frossard have both suffered severe defeat, a general engagement is immi- nent. During the whole of to-day ‘the arrival of despatches announcing that a great pattie is in pro- gress, or has ended, has been looked for with fever- ish impatience, FIRST FRUITS OF VICTORY. Though the engagements at Weissenburg and Woerth are regarded as minor combats, yet they are in reality of the highest importance. Instead of a few hundred prisoners having been captured at Wissembourg the number amounts to nearly two thousand. Both straggles were stub- born, The Freneh soldiers stood their ground weil and their rifies proved terribly de- structive. It was downright hard fighting which enabled the Germans to claim the honors of the doy. A wounded French prisoner avowed that his countrymen could not withstand the weight of the German attack, the fignt being not one of bullets only, but of bayonets also. It Was decited at last by the actual strength of the respective combatants. Physically the average of the German soldiers ts heavier men than the French, Jt was supposed that the introduction of the new weapons would alter the mode of warlare and ren- der the old style of hand to hand combat obsolete. This engagement proved otherwise. The Zouaves did what they could to check the advance of @ Ger- man regiment by pouring in a volley of fire from @ concealed position. They had posted them- selves in pits dug for the purpose and not until the advancing regiment had suffered from tnis conceuled fire did the German soldiers know that thejr progress was to be contested. They saw no sign of troops in their front, They bore themselves with extraordinary valer; men were struck down by hundreds, yet the regiment never wavered. ‘The Zouaves were driven from their places of con- cealment, and the ground they had occupied was won by their opponents, Exact details are not forthcoming, and it 1s impossible to learn, even ap- proximately, how many fell; but it 1s quite certain that the German loss has been propotionately enor- mous, THE WOUNDED. During the day and night the wounded have been arriving here, This afternoon all the beds in the hospitals were occupied. Tiese hospitals will contain about one thousand men, The fleld hospi- tals are also full, and hundreds of wounded men have been sent on to Frankfort, where there is accommodation for about five thousand long strings of stretchers, on which lay wounded soldiers and officers, have been passing through the streets to-day. So great is the stauzhter that the arrangements have proved imsufMictent. Wounded men have been for twenty-four hours on tie battle field, before discovered a private despatch from a military sur- geon, confirms wis, MACMAHON'S ARMY. Despatcues from Worth, the place where MacMahon's army was beaten, state, that while the victory was complete and the number of prisoners takeat amounts to six thou- and the lossea on both sides were enormous. These Josses in killed and wounded and in prisoners can be i aforded by the French. To replace those whio are killed, wounded or missing is hardiy possi- bie, ‘The Germans, on the other hand, can fill up all pianks in the course of afew hours. They have sbundance of tramed soldiers ready to join their regiments at a moment's notice. Should the Germans be defeated 1a a general en- gagement they would be ready in the course of & week to fight again, A movement 1s in progress which will greatly strengthen the army now eucamped on French soll, Two hundred thou- sand additional men will soon be ready for the feid. 3 of the victories is accepted very quictiy, cw YORK CHLY NEWS.

WASHINGTON. Important Indiclal Decision—The Dutia- ble Value of Imported Goods—Serious Tilmess of Treasurer Spluner— Counterfeit Agricultural Col- lege Serip—The McGarra- han Land Case. WASHINGTON, August 14, 1870, Important Jadicial Decision—Secretary Bout- wells Iustructions Set Aside. About a year since the Secretary of the Treasury instructed collectors of customs, in determining the duttable value of goods linported into Unis country, ‘that it should be at the value at which they centered imto consumption in the.country from which im- ported, as, in many instances, the value of goods ‘would be greatly increased by the addition of a heavy excise tax payable only when they were offered for consumption, but not chargeaole on the exportation of the same. The order was regarded as imposing an unfair valuation upon such imported articles as were affected by the excise tax. Shortly after the above instructions were issued a case involving the dutiable value of malt imported) into Chicago from Canada arose in that city and the Collector of the Port, under the order of Secretary Boutwell, exacted duty thereon at the value at wilich it was sold for consumption in the Canadian market, At that time the article was selling for eighty-four cents per bushel, including the excise tax of thirty-four cents per bushel. The importers claimed that the dutiabie Value of the malt was fifty cents per bushel, its price im bond at the time of the purchase, but yieldea to the requirements of the Secretary under protest, and the case was taken to the United States District Court, where it has been pending for twelve months. On Friday last Judge Blodgett decided that the posi- tion taken by the government in the case was wrong and that the proper dutiable value of the malt was its value in Canada in bond. The principle of the case is of great importance to importers, as it affects not only the amount of duty on malt, but the value of imporiations of tea, coffee and many other articies from European countries which are subject to an excise tax, but which is not chargeable on exporta- tion of the goods from bonded warehouses. The ‘Treasury Department was yesterday advised of the decision of Judge Blodgett, It has not yet been de- termined whether to acqulesce m the decision or to take the case to the Supreme Court, as Secretary Boutwell maintains that he has the authority to de- termine such questions, and as the principle in- volved is one affecting the customs revenue to a large extent the latter course will undoubtedly be taken, The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Troubles. The Baltlmore and Ohto Ratiroad Company has sued oul an injunction restraining the Harper’s Ferry Water Power and Manufacturing Company from removing the bridge crossing their canal just above the armory. At that place it seems that the whole business of the Baltimore and Ohio Ratlroad depends on this bridge, over which a single track runs. The bridge, as it now stands, is in a very un- safe condition and has no other support than a wooden trestlework set in the very centre of the Water Power Company’s canal, This trestlework, it is said, not only impedes the natural flow of the water in the canal, but has made a heavy backwater, causing a break m the bank of the canal, and wlule 1% remains threatens to destroy the most valuable portion of the property. The Water Power Company contend that the railroad never had the shadow of permission to cross the Canal at that point, and that they knew the penalty they were incurring by so doing. It seems, also, that Mr. Garreit’s attenuon has been repeatedly called during the last six months to the serious damage this bridge was doing the Water Power Company’s property, and reque: made that he apply the proper remeay. The Water Power Com- pany, acting under the advice of their counsel, were about to apply force to remove the bridge and its treslework; hence the injunction, which will bring up the question as to whether the railroad company has any rights at all on the property.

Although a fight which might have produced serious results occurred among the laborers em- ployed at Grand Park, Westchester county, on Satur- day afternoon, it nas since transpired that the re- ports which reached this city shortly after the melée, were grossly exaggerated’. This was doubtless un- intentional, as the news was borne from “the scene of strife by parties who left on a New Haven Railroad train just as the riot had terminated, and when several of the combatants were observed lying on 0. round either irom ex- haustion or injurkse recet during the riot. At this time ramors were freely circulated in the neigh- borhood to the effect that several men lay dead on the fleid. The place was visited yesterda; pes HERALD reporter, who, after careful inquir ceriained that although several of the rioters "ine. tained severe contusions no stabbing took HIa0e, nor weve any of the laborers dangerously injured. It appears that the Italians, numbering nearly 200, surrounded the pay table, to the exclusion of the Irish laborers, wiose force was about equal to that of the former.

TSE ORANGE AND GREEN, A Riot Expected To-Day—Rumors of Prepa- rations to Prevent Bloodshed. On the 5th of the present month rumors were cir- culated throughout the city that the Orangemen had been nursing a feeling of ill-will, engendered by the Elm Park riot, and that preparations fora mammoth demonstration having been completed, a parade Would take place on that day. It has been vari- ously estimated that from five to fifteen thou- sand Catholic Irishmen, principally taborers, col- lected on the oveasion at different points in te city, chiefly about the quarries at the upper eud of the Island and near the Park, brought together by these rumors, A Darade did’ not take place, however, and the rumor was again widely circulated of » proposed parade on the 12th instant. About noon on that day parties visited the workmen at the quarries above 100ti street, North river, and they stopped work for an hour or move, but later re- sunied thoir labors. ‘The canard not being credited down town there was no excitement at the principal headquarters o1 the Ribbonmen. The rumor was again in circulation last evening, and with it otiers, stating that the National Guard and adetachment of Umited States regulars would be under arms. to assist the police, affirming that the parade would take place to-day. There are other wild and vague rumors in circulation, but the above con- Veys the substance of all that are believed to be creditable. Tne fact is that leading Catholics ex- press themseives ashamed of the Eim Park affair, and that the general public, who have no contro- versixl interest in the matter, are determined that either party Lf they wish to parade peaceably shall ao 80, but that all muss alike respect the public peace. Should any procession take place to-day it Wul be watched bythe HERALD reporters at least, andifany disturbance takes place the instigators will be eld to account, ANOTHER TRENTON MYSTERY. Supposed Murder for the the Sake of Plunder— One More “Unknown” Picked Up. Yesterday morning the body of Andrew Henry, thirty years of age, was found in the raceway, near the Warren street bridge, in Trenton, The upper lip was split througit and one side of the face terribly swollen and biood: The pockets of his pantaloons we jurned inside out, indicating a robbery and, probably, murder, ‘he ill-fated man was seen asleep on the Warren street bridge at eight o'clock on Saturday evening, and, while ie coron- er’s jury im their brief deliberation supposed him to have been drowned accidentally, most of the citizens believe that he was thrown over the battlements tto the stream, nearly twenty fect beiow. Coroner Diguan held an inquest; but the rufiian who rifled the pockets of the deceased, bod in all likelihood drowned him, wul, perhaps, be known. The jurors, therefore, rendered a er. dict of accidental drowning. Henry was well known, and worked in the rolling mill for some time past. Au unknown man, about twenty-seven years of age, was found drowned yesterday in the Pennsyl- vania Canal, near Morrisville, Pa. He seems to have been employed on some of the canal boats.
