Field Reports from Chalons and Metz. Larshal Bazaine’s Defeat and Retreat. A Naval Fight Supposed to Have Taken Place. Lonpon, August 17, 1870, ‘A special correspondent writes from Berlin, Sun- day, as follows:— The attempt to raise a national loan of 120,000,C00 thaiers hes broken down. Up t0 yesterday the sub- xeriptions reached 60,0 ov only. But th’s loan did nol pretend Lo oiler a eh shove of favorable investment, Vt was issued asa five rer cent loan at a fixed price 1 sinking tund, it being th German Retchstag to purchases on the market as the slate of the Budget might allow, the proupacs of such redemption under the present. circumstances being worth very iltte. ‘The Investment might be considered as one in perpetual annuities, As such it would hardly Rave brought elghty-eight even before the war, when brought tnto market to such an extent, Every single subscriber has subscribed from patriotic motives. The King himself has subscribed half a mii- lion and @ manufacturer a million, At Berlin twenty- one millions have been subscribed, and at Hamburg 81x millions. Then follow towns with three, two and one million, and provincial cities of less than ten thousand inhabitants, about ten thalers per head. Most of the subscriptions are of 100 ers only. In very many cases they are at once present to charitable institutions or destined for the orphans which the war will produce in the pariah of the river. Of the remainder seventy millions were taken by the Seehandiing Company for Transoceanic Com- merce, now nothing but part of tho Prussian Ex- ehequer unger anothcr name, carrying on @ very successful banking business and losing money in unsuccessful industrial epterprises. As yet there ig no prospect of Prussia imitating the example of France aud stopping conversion of notes of the Bank of Prussta. ‘nero 1s no run on the banks, but what the actual shortness of the money market haa produced, Of waut of contidence there is nowhere apy symptoms, Nobody wants money instead of bank notes, and gold coin, French as well as Knglish, is even at a discount. Yet a demonstration is preparing to warn the govern- ment against apy attempt, under whatever circume stances, at further issues Of paper money. The radi- cal Iree trade organs propose a transitory tax in- stead of on property. Prices of provisions, especially corn, are going down a3 yet. The magnificent har- vest has the start of the Wars. The reported subscription of eighty millions at Hamburg was a mistake for elght mulions, AT CHALONS. A special from Chalons writes on Sunday:— ‘Ten thousand wounded aro betng brought into camp. The town and camp present @ scene of riot- ous Qisorder and dissipation. Soldiers are shouting and drinking, the cates and streets are filled with prostitutes, and there {s no restraint of order or de- cency among officers or soldiers. If another battle 48 lost it will be @ massacre. The tram by which I attempted to go to Metz found the line cut at Pont @ Mousson, and returned with the Fourteenth regiment, which was ordered ww Metz. Reports of disturbances in Paris have un- acitied the Garde Mobiles, half of whom would break away and return in case ofrevolution. The regular army is still trae to the Emperor, but nobody else. The advance of the Prussians beyond Metz is Known, but a great force will remain there. I cannot un- derstand the notion of battle here in we circumstances. Chaions is not a defensible position against superior forces, being sim- ply an immense level plain. The camp is not eutrenched, and there are no works in construction nor officers permanently commanding, but who- ‘ever among the generals passing tsrough happens to ve senior in rank is commander wiulie be stays, and changes are male almost dally, IN THE FIELD. The same correspondent writes on Monday:— ‘The Pont-i-Mousson affair was serious. Six or seven trains started from Chalons for Metz in rapid suc- cession, carrying abont 7,000 soldiers, comprising three infantry regients and some artillery. Near of 85, Wituout prov. Jett to the option of U redeem it by yearly ~ Pont-a-Mousson they found the railway cut and Prussian artillery opened on the trains, which moved back as rapidly a8 possible; but a panic began, and tough only two men were Killed, many jumped from the trains while moving rapidly. ‘The trains Mually got away without much loss, FROM THE FRONT. Despatches recelved to-day at the Prussian Embassy in London confirm the Prussian successes op Sunday, alreaiy reported, but do not throw auch light on the subsequent events, No telegrams received in London up to midnight (Wednesday) explain clearly the movements of the Jast three days, The French accounts are extremely vague, but indicate that divided counsels and chang- Ang plans have constantly embarrassed and endan- gered the French retreat, a A despatch from Chalons already telegraphed you proved that troops were pushed forward from Cha- Jons towards Metz down to Satarday night when the trains were stopped and fired on at Pont-A-Mousson On Sunday the Pruselans found the French wtill in great force under the wall of Metz. Since Sunday no considerable battle is known to have been fought anywhere; but the French reports of checks to the Prussians west of the Moselle, whether true or false, coincides with Bazaine’s retro- wade movement, In the ahsence of Prussian telegrams there 13 nothing to show what forces, either Prassian or French, remain near Metz; but there can be little doubt that Bazine, after hesitat- tng till 1¢ was almost too late, has withdrawn the main body of the French army westward, and that the Prussian forces have barrassed his re- treat by unremitting attacks on his flanks and rear, In such circumstances po general or decisive engagement should be fought, unless the Prussians bad moved rapidly enough to cut off the French retreat. They seem to have crossed the Moselle both above and below Metz, large forces remaining at the same ume before Metz, and there is no known basis for Palikao’s statement in the Corps Législatif that the Prussian attempt to cut off Bazatne had failed, for there is no evidence that it had been made in such a force as to compel Bazaine to choose between abandoning the alrect line to Chaions and fighting a battle. The Jatest accounts place him but the French appear to have no mation as to the disposition or strength of the Prussian columns threatening his march, Ifit be true, as the French give out, that Metz is held by a mere garrison, it may be many days before a great battle can be forced by the Prus- sians or accepted by the French at any point west of Metz. In the meantime there 1s likely to be. as during the last three days, a continual succession of excounters between tho heads of the Prussian col- ‘uups and the rear guard of the French. CANNONADING AT SBA. A special correspondent writes from Hamburg, Sunday :— The second division of the French fleet was seen twepty miles west southwest of Heligoland, ste east. The German fleet at Cuxhaven and Wilhelmsbaven put to sea, and can. monading has since been heard. The French delays are unaccountabie. They might have taken Cuxhaven, completely commandiag the entrance to the Elbe, but it is now well fortified, ‘The Bibe 1a not being blockaded, and vessels ar- rive daily. A merchant vessel in attempting to enter helmshaven w a fog was sunk by a torpedo, STABBING AFFRAY AT A PICNIC.

Fifth Day of the Summer Meeting. A Charming Day, Fine Track and Fashionable Attendanee. Charette the Winner of the Free Handicap, One Mile; Withers’ Brown Filly the Puree of $500, for Two-year-olds, and Midday the $700 Prise, for All Ages, Two Miles. BaRaToGa, August 17, 1870, ‘The reverses which many of the bett‘ng fraternity assembled here experienced yesterday caused them tobe almost beside themselves last night and this morning in their endeavors to still furiher risk thetr money with the hope of “getting square.” Really, some of the heaviest betters staked their cash with an abandon simply surprising, leading a reflective observer to solve the enigma as best he could, 10 the former meetiog this year of the Saratoga Racing Association the pool box of the official auctioneers contained at times nearly $250,000, which amount had been lost and won upon the six Ways’ racing; but what the present meeting will foot up in like risks it would take a careful mathematician to de- termine. It would drive an ordinary bookkeeper to distraction. “I will go home even or get busted’? is the rule by which these moneyed characters are governed, and, true to their cloth, they stick to this laid down principle, and although they often do get ‘even’? and decidedly “more too,” they frequently shake the dust of this delightful place from their feet with pockets turned inside out and wallets very mach the shape of the one that ‘was “trod upon by the elephant.” As the last days of the racing are at hand the genlal ‘boys’? met at its beginning seem to change and grow sour and outof humor. The barometer of their dispositions 4s in their Commer and when you find your pro- fessional better ready to throw off the polished gen- tleman and assume the uncouth, to baager and bamboozle anybody that crosses hig path, you can at once assume that he is tn “bad luck” and in need Of sympathy. If the ‘face of a man Is the log book of his thoughts” 1t 1s easy to determine this morn- i re who Dave had a rough time of it—pecunt- arily, THE ATTENDANCE ss was very fair. The ladies were again in their strengtn and attired with all the grace that nas characterized their presence since the opening of the meet . ‘Those present, in and about the grand stand, not before noticed, were J. D. Daniels, Jr., of Baltimore; H. Jonnson, of London; Erastus B. Corning, of Albany; D. E, Crane and J. H. Culvert, of Chicago; W. H. Kichardson, of Cincinnati; J. mM, Randall and J.

Ely, of Chicago, and Beau ‘ickinan, of Washingtou, who was complaining of “whiskey in the hoof’—a peculiar malady, ‘THE EXCITEMENT attending the contests to-day was equal to any of the more remarkable that have been run this year. In the first race of oue mile Judge Curtis, in a field of six, was a great favorite, aud much mouey was wagered at long odds that he would win. But the Sanguine once more went overboard, and the gray colt Charette of Keene Kich- ards came home the winner, to the ill greater chagrin of the already very badly bent New York gentlemen. The second race troubled them likewise, ‘the favorite was badly beaten, and the brown filly that sent them further into the ditch of Se ponasticy could hardly be sold in pools of enor- mous sums. oor Gothamites | Yet the third race, two miles, for ali ages, Jeit them still another oppor- walty; and with dejected faces and billous eyes they ‘ain marched up tothe pool box and tried to re- deem their fortunes. Every dollar that the majority of these had. leit was risked, and, sad to say, they again got upon the losing horse, and left the track “dead broke,” ready to eater for the “LANDLORD'S PURSE,” gotten up every year at Saratoga for the benefit of Vhe miserables, It will be full at the end of this meeting, and the way that such will scamper from the word ‘‘go” to their homes or anywhere else, with thelr “weight” of baggage, will eclipse the best time on recor#. CROWDS continue to arrive, wishing to be in “at the death” of the racing week. To illustrate the jammed and crammed condition of every house, public and pri- vate, your correspondent has just been told that the “Big Judge from Yorkville’ was ousted from his room that he had fora day or two on suflerance, end last night was com) eee to take up quarters in the Indian camp back of Congress Park. ‘The chief of the tribe expostulated ag ast such @ mammoth squatting on their reservation, and the project was Rot listened to until Judge Dowling, who had been appealed to In the last extremity to use his influence as one of the saclems of the Tammany tribe, ar- rayed himself tn full Indian toggery and, with the pipe of peace, stalked up to the “brave’’ and had a Dow-wow. lt was a hard task, but the Judge knew the red man and was successful, so his big brother got quarters for the night in the best tent on the pou. But what he will do hereafter remains to ye geen, the Indians don’t want him, and Judge Dowling shrinks from another council and another pipe of tobacco, The Racing. ‘With charming weather, a fine track and all the horses in racing condition, the turfmen to-day ap- peared delighted with the prospects before them. All seemed sanguine of the chances of the objects of their cholce, so judiciously had the handicapper reg- ulated the weights, and the betting was heavy in consequence. There were three handicap events on the card, the first being a dash af one mile by six contestants, all well-known clippers. These were Judge Curtis, Alta Vela, Chillicothe, Scathelock, Sanford and Charette. Judge Curtis was the favor- ite over the fleld. The race was a very fine one; but, to the astonishment of every one, a flelder, Charette, won the race by @ short length in extraordinary time. Alta Vela came in second, Judge Curtis third. The winner was sold in the field with Sanfora, the odda against them being more than ten to one, Charette is a fine, comipactly built ittle horse, and runs very strong. He ran twice at the last meeting, but was unfortunate cach time. ‘The second race was between four two-year-olds, two of them belonging. to A. Keene Richards, and the otners to Mr. Withers and Mr. Thomas. The former were the favorites at such long odds that few pools were sold on them, Mr, Withers’ filly, vy amington, dam Bapta, took the lead at the start, was never headed, and won a capital race in very excellent time. The winner is a beautiful filly, dark brown, of fair size, with a strong, regular style of running. The betting offered previous to the start among the crowd was one hundred to twenty-five on A. Keene Richards’ entry, which was not taken in many instances, as it was a foregone conclusion that Richards could not lose The Leamingtons, however, have been found hard to beat, and in the future tour to one will not go begging agains! the poorest of them tn any fleid. ‘The third race, which was looked upon as the ‘eat event of the day, was a dash of two miles. ix horses accepted the weighis imposed and came to the post. These were Carrie Atherton, with 103 lbs. up: R. B. Connolly, with 109 Ibs. on his back; Abdel Kader, with 111 lb. on him; Climax, with 113 Tbs.; Midday. with 87 Ibs. and Tom Woolfotk with 97 Scathelock fifth and Sanford sixth. le in this way, and kept \dge Curtis, who Ww: Hanvr Purse, $600, for two year olds; one DiGi Grittensventerca br. by Leamiogton, dam plottvomas sutered.i Aurcolay by War Dawes, sa de. eords’ eniered ‘eh: by Lexington, dam Sally Lewis, 87 Ibe......

The recent death of tho Admiral of our Navy, David G. Farragut, has naturally excited a good deal of interest and speculation among the naval oMicers of the line regarding his successor. As Congress did not passgAt its last session any law aboliahing the rank of admiral and vice admiral, to take effect after the deatn of the present incum- bents, those positions still exist, and the vacancy occasioned by the death of Admiral Farragut is to be filled by appointment by the President, when con- firmed by the Senate. It may be possible that the President will not appoint a successor to the noble “Old Salamander” until Congress again meets, but such a course is not likely to be adopted. Tne pro- motions will doubtless be made as usual. Vice Admiral David D. Porter is unquestionably the only officer likely to be elevated to the highest rank in our navy. His appointment is so sure that itis useless to speculate on any other possible can- didates. The common voice of the navy, as well as that of the nation, dictates the appointment of the gallant Vice Admiral, who unites the vigor of man- hood with @ wide and varied experience as a sclen- tifle officer, gained during the most exciting and most brilliant epoch of our naval history. Prest- dent Grant, with his knowledge of the re- cord of the leading officers of our navy, will not have @ second choice, His appointment will surely confirm the silent selection of the service, and Vice Admiral David D. Porter will become the head of the navy. With this view it wilibe interesting to our readers to recall the principal events of VICE ADMIRAL PORTER'S LIFE, David D, Porter, son of Commodore David Porter, one of the heroes of the infant navy of the United States, who swept the Pacific of British merchant ships and whalers, while commanding the frigate Essex, and who made the splendid fight in the Bay of Valparaiso against a British squadron, was born in Pennsylvania about 1812, He served with his father in the West Indies, and after receiving o prac- tical rudimentary education he entered the navy as midshipman, from his native State, February 2, 1820. In 1830 he was attached to the frigate Constellation, which was sent to the Mediter- ranean, in which squadron ho served until 18386, being subsequently attached to the frigate United States and the line-of-battle ship Delaware, In 1837 he was made passed midshipman, and ordered the year after to the coast survey, He became a lieute- nant February 27, 1841, and was again ordered in tho frigate Congress to the Mediterranean in 1943-5. From this period to 1861 he performed active service abroad and in the Home squadron, participating gallantly in the naval operations in the Mexican war, when he engaged in the two attacks on Vera Cruz and one on Tuspan, and one at Tabasco, On shore he was equally at home, as he joined in the fights at Tamultee and Ohifion. On the conclusion of the war he was again orderea on coast survey duty; and subsequently he commanded the United States mati steamer Georgia, of the Panama route, in which po- sition he made a host of friends, now leading citi- zen eof California. He was promoted to the rank of commander April 22, 1861, when his more active and brilliant career began. In that month he was placed in command of the frigate Powhatan, flag- ship of an expedition to reinforce Fort Sumter, and after the surrender of that work, which he was un- able to relieve, he sailed for Fort Pickens, and was able to put ashore in smail boats, through a heavy suri, companies of regular troops, who saved that important work to our government. After this he Was ordered North to oversee the preparation of a mortar fotilia designed to aid the operations of Rear Admiral Farragut in the reduction of Forts Jackson and St. Philp, constituting the defences, in addition tw & squadron of iron-clads, of the city of New Orleans, His services there were of the greatost value to the co: manding officer of our naval expedition, Rear At myal Vpiramug Alter six days of cuntunugns bom: bardment the enemy’s reststance became #0 that Admiral Farragut was able to although tant point are well remembered.

As 1s well known, on the inauguration of President Grant Vice Adiiral Porter was called to Washing- ton to act in an advisory capacity at the Navy De- partinent, His vigorous efforts, guided by @ tho- rough knowledge of the wants of the service, have been all-powertul in building up, a3 far as an eco- nomical Congress would allow, a navy worthy of our country. He has performed wonders already, and it 1s Lo be hoped that he will continue as Admi- ral to occupy the position he has so well filled, in order that our drooping navy may be revived and strengthened and made what it ought to be—aa eml- cent und capable arm of our national defeuce. THE NEW VICE ADMIRAL, While there can be no doubt as to the successor of the “Great Admiral,” there may be some Fear as to who shuil succeed the Vice Admiral, ‘There is more than one candidate for that position, althor the leading one is Rear Admiral Louls M. Golds- borough, Unlike promotion in the lower les: the President is not controlled by rules of seniority, which by long usage have the vigor of positive law, in el an oficer for the two higher grades o! our service, There is no reason why he should not select {rom says Grade, as merit and valuable service may control the choice, However, he is not likely to pass over an entire grade, and it is natural and probable that the promotion will come from the list of rear adnitrals in active service, And at the head of the list of rear admirals, and one of tho most deserving candidates, by reason of long and vaiuable services, a wide and varied experience at home and abroad? and a thorough knowled, ne stands Rear Admiral Louis Goids- rough, an officer who entered the service a8 @ youngster in 1812, The following isa sketch of the principal events in the life of REAR ADMIRAL GOLDSBOROUGH, who was born iu Washington in 1805, appointed a midshipman June 18, 1612, commissioned as Heute! ant January 13, 1825, and ordered to the Mediter- Tancan squadron in 1825, where he remained until 1s20. During his cruise in the European waters, wiie executive oficer of the brig Porpoise, he com- manded a night expedition, consistung of four boats, to capture an English brig, the Comet, in possession of the Greek pirates, 200 of whom held her decks, The enterprise was desperate, but, after hard hand to hand contests, successful. More than 100@ithe raed were cut down before they surrendered, This gallant action put a stop for the time to the bold movements of the Grecian pirates, and Lieutenant Goldsborogh ved the qhanks of the Governor of Malwa, an English pos- session, for his valuable services, Without going through the detatis of Rear Admiral Goldsborough’s subsequent career, it is only necessary to mention among his many exploits, up to the beginning of the war, his participation as executive oficer of the Ohio, in the bombardment of Vera Craz, and his command of three hundred sailors and marines at the capture of Tuspan. Commissioned as com- mander in 1841, he became captain tn 1855. He was superintendent of the Naval Academy from 1854 to 1857, where he left the impress o! his vigorous charac- ter. After the war promotion fo!lowed rapidly. In 1862 he was made Rear Admir:}. He commanded the naval forces at the capture of Roanake Island,n February, 1862, where he gained deserved renown, In March he took Newbern, alter a severe ght. In May following he engaged, silenced and passed the heavy works on Sewell’s Point and occupied Norfolk, Va. At the close of the war Rear Admiral Goldsborough displayed from the frigate Colorado the first American Admiral’s fag ever seen in European waters. Everywhere he re- ceived the greatest attention and honors from the officials of foreign governments, and the eee impression he made is not forgotten to this day. Since his return from that memorable cruise he has permnnee important duties of a 8 ‘ashington, where his true wort! and availed of by the Navy Department. No better man could be selectea as Vice Admiral of our navy. ® younger man than Rear Admiral Golds- borough should be deemed the proper one to fill Vice Admiral Porter’s place there can be no doubt that the universal voice of the navy would name Rear Admiral Stephen 0. Rowan as its candidate, He 18 sixty-five years of age, but as fresh and vigor- ous as commodore. He entered the navy in 1826,,and probably the best record, especially during our war times, of any oMcer on the rolls, Before he became a rear admiral he was known in the service as ‘Paddy Rowan,” because he springs from the ‘Green Isle.” He has all the fighting qualities of the race that gave us Commodore Barry in our Revolutionary days. In cvery step he has made to the honorable position he now holds he has added to his reputation and to the renown of tie service. To enumerate his splendid achievements ‘would require a column or more. We cannot spare the space. Wecan only say that his record from midshipman up to Rear Admiral, especially during the war, places him ahead of all his fellow officers. He now commands the Asiatic squadron, and a more geni: ntleman and a finer officer never few a pen- nant. President Grant is the final judge in the selec- tion of candidates, but we are not mistaken when '¢ predict that he will choose between Rear Admiral Goldsborough and Rear Admiral Stephen 0. Rowan. Either would be satisfactory and acceptable. THE NEW REAR ADMIRAL will be Commodore Thornton A, Jenkins, a gallant officer, who entered the navy in 1828, and who be- came Commodore in 1860, His experience has been varied, He has performed every service in the rai of a navaloiticer. In scientific fenting, exe- cutive, advisory and useful duties always he has filled every cial and general position to the per- fect satisfaction. of the Navy Department, and de- serves the promotion that awaits THE COMMODORE to be promoted in Commodore Thornton’s place will be Captain Roger N. Stemble, who made a capital record in the war, and who was seriously wounded near Fort Pillow, May 10, 1862, in an engagement with the rebel rams, which laid him up for many months. He has made @ short cruise In the Mediterranean and 1s good for many years’ service yet. Commander Thomas Pattison becomes captain by regular promotion; and Lieutenant Commander Augustus P. Cooke is made Commander. Aji the lower grades are advanced one, of course, by the changes made by the death of . our old fighting Admiral. The Navy Depart- ment will in dae time undoubtedly announce these changes, which we will promptly publish, but for the present we confine onrseiveg to the brief sketches re have given of the l¢éading~ officers atfected by the changes, TERRIBLE DISASTER. Collision on the Amazon River~One Hundred aud Sixty Lives Lost. By the arrival of the schooner Tampico, Captain Lombard, from Para, we learn that a collision oceyrred about July 25 on the Amazon river Brazil, between two steamers, One sunk within half an hour with 200 passengers on board and 160 were lost.
