Our War Despatches by Muil. “Our special writers at the seat of war in Europe, with others of our correspondents who date at points outside the range of actual conflict, supply a continuation of our history Of the progress of events in the written exhibit which appears in our columns to-day. The letters are dated at Napoleon’s headquarters at Metz, at King William’s headquarters at Cologne, at Maxan, on the Rhine, in Bruschal, Baden, in the fortress of Mayence, in Berlin and in Paris, The letters are dated to the 9th of August. Their contents will enable our readers to more fully comprehend the present existing situation—a long and bloody war, or very sudden peace. Napoleon had sustained his first reverses at Motz. Douay was dead. Bazaine and Ladmirault were just then in active motion for the operations which have since been reported to us in our special de- spatches by the cable. King William marched to Mayence. Germany had come to the conviction that the cause of the country must depend on the great armies then in the field. Fortresses were set down as of little value; the contest must be won by the needle gun, firm resolve, heart with heart and shoulder to shoulder, The first cannonading on the Rhioe had been heard at Maxan, where a very lively scene ensued. France relied on certain interests, clerical and otherwise, in South Germany. The com- Ing disappointment of the hopes of Bonaparte in that respect is anticipated in the letter of our writer in Baden. From Berlin we have most important special intelligence relative to the existence and efforts of a grand national peace league even then. This highly impor- tant movement was being conducted by Italy, Austria, Russia and Turkey. Its inception is noticed pointedly in the communication. Its termination and fruits may be very sudden and most extraordinary. Count Bismarck, as will be seen, was not pariicularly courteous to our “specials.” Paris had heard of the first reverses of the French arms. Paris was amazed, ashamed, humiliated and fast tend- ing to the riotous proceedings, which have since taken place in the French capital. Our Special European despatches by mail are thus again and as usual of very great interest, LONG BRANCH.

LONG BRANCH, August 21, 1870. The Ninth regimen attended church in a body here to-day, Colonel Fisk at their head. It ts sald that it 1s the first sermon he has heard tn nine years. He was greatly moved by the unusual sensation and Shed tears. It was better than a play to him. In the afternoon the regiment betd its dress Parade on Main street, and probably five thousand Spectators looked upon the display. Ocean avenue, Maid street and the adjoming streets were crowded ‘and jainmed with vehicles and people on foot, and the baiconies and windows of the Metropolitan Hotel were filled to overflowing. A fiect of yachts lying off a short distance from the shore fired saiutes every minute during the parade, and Luther's Hymn was sung by the full regiment, under the direction of Chaplain Spencer. The magnificent Fisk, in all the grandeur of gold and bullion, and the five thousand dollar uniform, which so well sets of his imposing figure, commanded in person, and gave highly satisfactory evidence to his friends of having crammed hitaself full of military knowledge. ‘There has been intense excitement here all the af- ternoon owing to the fanatical denuaciation of infalti bility by Rev. Sidney A. Corey, of New York, in his sermon this morning. He made the following re- marks concerning it:— The createst crime that ever was committed on this earth was done tn the nineteen century by de- Ciaring ihe Pope infallible and next to God.

Memorial Services Under the Auspices of the Masonic Fraternity of Portsmouth, N. H., in Memory of the Late Admiral Farragut. Porrsmoura, August 21, 1870, At the memorial services in memory of the late Admiral Farragut, which were held at the North church this evening, a very large audience, number- ing over 2,000, assembled at an early hour, com- pletely filitog the house, Many could not gain ad- mission, The address was delivered by Rev, Joseph J. Kane, United States Navy, who served under the Admiral during two years of the late war, and was ap- pointed chaplain in the navy by his request After the commencing services were concluded the Rev. Mr. Kane spoke as follows, taking his text from Isaiah 1., 10—“Say ye to the righteous that it shall be well with him, for he sha!leat of the fruit of his doings.’ Revelations xiv., 13—“And I heard a votce from heaven saying unto me write ‘Blessed are the dead which die itn the Lord from henceforth,’ yea saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.’ In accordance with the notice given we have a+ sembled this evening for a memorial service, under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity, as a tribute of respect to the memory of our late lamented brother, Admiral D, G. Farragut. As a member of our great brotherhood and breathing his last in our midst we buried him with Masonic honors, and tt was thought advisable, in order to show our appre- clatton of his integrity as a Mason, a patriot and @ Christian, to have this evening o memorial sermon. He was honored among Masons, not for his rank nor for his fame or fortune—for Masons know no distinction, and ever “meet upon the level and part on the square’’—but he was honored and loved for his sterling integrity, his virtues and his ever genial social character, Without these qualifi- cations we honor no man, “Base metal, even though stampea with a king's head, cau uever pasa current at THE SACRED ALTAR OF MASONRY. It is not my purpose to-night to eulogize the naval exploits of the gallant Admiral, I leave that to the historian. His noble deeds will live emblazoned on the pages of history, and far into the distant future generations yet unborn will read and profit by his lufe aud virtues, Born in the almost infancy of our republic, in times pregnant with danger, he was called tn his early boyhood to grapple im deadly combat with the enemies of his country, He was raised up by Providence, and thus early’ trained for the great work that haifa century later he was desiimed to carry out to a successful completion. ‘There are few men in the world’s history that combine such noble qualities as Adiniral Furragut.

Iu the midst of this fearful havoc we compelled ty pause and reflect what is death? Wuat Is the mystery of it, that men in the zenith of their existence, in the aims of their usefulness,are suddenly snatched away’ Why are the secrets of death shrouded in such Impenetrable gloom and mystery? Why are we left in such utter ignorance of the greatest change of our probation here e thousand years ago a Socrates and a Plato, reaching the sumuut of human wisdom, endeavored to pierce into the gloom to ua- ravel the mystery; but they gave up the task in hopeless despair, (eeling satished tiat He alone who made the world held the secret fast, and man tn his weakness here could not soive the problem. Science for ages past has endeavored to trace the cause and developments of the soul when it leaves its frail ten- ement of clay, but on this metaphysical question all that can be sald 1s at most mere conjecture. We can descend to the banks of the river of death, but into the Intense darkness our moral eyes cannot plerce. Wheu the Admiral died last Sunday those that stood by noticed A PECULIAR PHENOMENON just at the moment of death. It seemed as though avell had fallen over his face. 1t was instanta- neous, and then disappeared. It has been a subject of much discussion whether consciousness exists 1n a dying person, even when they display no outward signs of life. Here the speaker stated his own experience in the matter, and added:—In searching the Bible no clue 1s found to solve the mysterious problem; but it may be profitable, nevertheless, to hote the expressions used when referring to the death of some of the prominent characters. ‘The speaker here referred to Genesis xxv., 8; Gen- esis Xlix., 33; First Kings ii, 10; Acts vil, and added:—*] have given you these quotations to show you how the words of my text are fulfilled to God's people.” Thus, | believe, was the peaceful end of the gallant old Admiral. He fell asleep in Jesus in a good old age, crowned with giory and honor, Tam well aware that a great deal of stress 1s sometimes laid upon the testimony of @ death scene to prove that one person is saved and another lost; but death comes under such a variety of circum- stances, and there is a {difference in the physi+ cal constitutions of men. A man under the excite- ment of battle may warch fearlessly up to the can- non’s mouth and ineect his death uniitnehtngly; but this is no evidence that he was in any Wise pre- pared to meet his God, A hardened criminal ovten meets) lis doom the scaffold without & quiver, aod oan inidel may go to the chamber of death and tle down to die without any outward signs ot fear, while at the same time an earnest and practical Chrisuian may regard the approacn of death with physical fear and die ina morbid gioom and terror, Our great faultin such cases Hes tn juagtag the outward form, while { Lincoln fell ed at close in- nation were on God judges the heart. There seems to be a lingering superstition aud ar to die when the = ¢lements are maintaining th fierce strife abroad. ‘The h ot Napoleon Bonaparte was of thig nature. " raged feariully; the waves lashed theuselves to ful against the rocks of his ‘stand prison; the rain came down in torrents; the gtoom was Intense; the winds walled mourniully as the emblazoned tempest swept wildly on, and the horror of the scene was in- tenaified as the flery lightning’s fash revealed alt nature convulsea, and as the sea gulls shrieked amidst that awful storm, the death wail of Napoleon re-echoed ' on the _ blast, His spirit | passed away amidst such a ft emblem of his boisterous life, Dying is at all times terrthie to contemplate, but, silce it must come, what prospect of death is so pleasant as to be surrounded by the loved ones of carth, breathing our last amidst the consolations of religion and such words as our text to buoy us Up as We cross the dark, dreary food— 4 @and{ heard @ vcice,” &c, Such was the peaceful end of the nation’s dead, for whose memory we have aseempled here tins evening to shed the sympathetic tear, 1 now desire to dwell fora brief moment upon the cheering promise contained in the words of the text, “Say ye to the righteous," &c. Here is the simple test or our faith; we must (ake God at his word; itshallbe well, All that these words may in- clude is not in the province of human wisdom to untold. | 'This ts exemplified by turning to the sixty- fourth chapter, fourth verse, of the Prophet Isaiah, where we read as follows: “For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor percetved by the ear, neither has the ge a God," beside “what He hath prepared tor him who waitea upon Him, Say ye to the rigit- cous,” &c, But what a fearful warning ts contained in our context—" Woe unto the wicked; it shall be tll with him, for the reward of his’ hands shall be given him; and in another place he adds, “IT the Lord have spoken it and will do it” No eye hag seen nor the ear heard what God has Brepared for the righteous who wait upon Him. ‘iherefore no human hinguage ts adequate to conre the meeting of tie unregenerate with an oended God. ‘The second part of my text, taken from the book of Revelations, bears a close relation fo the first part, taken from Isaiah. This {3° part of John’s wonderful vision in the island of Patmos, and 14 full of consolation. ‘To the Christian it takes away the sting from death and victory from the grave. “It takes the chill from the gloomy river, lights the dark valley and sustains the sinking soul. ‘To die in the Lord implies those Who have sincerely professed Him before men, who have followed his pr cope. taken his cross and been Washed and regenerated tn His blood, ana who having not seen yet have believed. They shall reat from ‘their labors. his does not ‘mean that there shall be no employment, for to an active mind idleness would be punishment. “But they shall rest from that 1abor” which impites toils, fatigue. When an immortal spirit leaves its human frame it becomes capable of continued and most exalted homage, lasting throughout eternal ages without fatigue or toil, We draw this in- ference from the analogy of the mind in Us probation here, which is ever at work, even in the hous of sleep, when the body ts careworn and weary, The mind ts active without cessation. On earth the service of God {3 ever at- vended with wearisome jabor. Look at the toils and journeys or the proptess and apostles and the early Christians; look at the privations of the mis- sionaries of the present day. Even the daily affairs of Christians are wearisome with corruption within and pen without, but in the other world there will be continued worshtp without sin. “And thetr works do follow them.’, The Christians, workers of faith and of love, of submission and obedience, The reward of these workers does follow them. His good example and his holy life will live after him. He will realize the benefit of these in ages yet to come. This is true of parents; for ifthey are faithful “their children will rise up and call them blessed,’ Especially 1s this so of ministers, whose labor of love, public and private, will continue to bear fruit long aiter they shall have passed away to biighter scenes avove. Look at the writings of Baxter, Bunyan, Doddridge and a muitt- tude of men and women after God's own heart, Whose works are training more unto righteousness than ever was accomplished during the life of their authors, May we notiervently trust that the novle example of patriotism, of bravery, of Christian humility and all the socia! and geuial qualities of him whose loss we this day deplore, “the great Admiral of a great republic,” will ever continue to inspire to emulation the iminds of the young om- cers of our navy, and may his name be handed dow nfrom generation to generation with that of Washington and of Lincoln. But here we conciude, The rapid tight of time Warns me that although much, very much, might be sald as a memorial jor THE NATION'S HONORED DEAD, yet 1¢ will be more profitable to leave the rest to the historian, who will not fail to do ample justice to his loved and cherished name. There is no ocea- sion for me to draw any inference from what I have aiready said, a3 ft is obvious to all the patriotism and virtues of the gallant and brave old Admiral were never hid- den, never uncertain. He never faltered in the path of duty, and he never heid back tn the hour of bis country’s need, He never denied his God nor felt ashamed to own His cause. No blot rests upon his name either ag a ettizen, a warrior or a Christian, and LT would on tuis occasion use the words of the G Rev emer of mankind, when he said, and do likewise.” The moral of our whole subject to-night 13 that we, too, muat die, The change is nearer to most of us than we think. A few more rounds of pleasure, a few more days of toil and trouble and trial, of jaughter and of tears, and the hand of death will be laid upon ua. Our friends will bear us mournfully to our last rest- ing place. The bells will toli our requiem; our back ‘ashes to ashes, to dust,” and our bodies will sleep the countiess hos! f the dead ft ted with dust upon which you tread, Neither fame, position, honor or even the wealth of the Indies can purcha: one hour of life after the summons has rea 1us. Our houses and our broad jands we must leave, and the gold which, periaps, we worshipped, and by tts use ed the destiay of the nation, cannot give us even one moment's stay beyond the allowed time. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A CHURCH. A Man Shoots Himself During Service in St. St. Panis Charch, Broadway. The congregation who were piousty attending to thetr devotions tn St. Paul’s chureh, opposite the HERALD office, last evening, were suddeniy startled by the report of a pistol tn their very midst.

Van Kleeck, were out for a walklast Thursday evening at half-past seven o'clock. Going through Reed place aman jumped over the fence and ex- claimed, “Who are you following They denied following any one, when the man rushed upon them witha knife. Van Kleeck was stabbed in the side and shoulder and Crum was staboed in the side, the would-be murderer escaping. The wounded men reached their homes as best they conid, Van Kleeck nearjy faynting from the loss of blood. Dr. Bolton, a retired physician, was called and upon ex- am{nation it was ascertained that with proper care Serious results would not follow. Yesterday Van Kleeck was improving, but Crum’s condition was worse. The police will know nothing about the affair till they see it in print, uowever strange such a fact may seem. The family of young Van Kleeck were at iirst quite reticent about the matier when cailed upon, but ascertaining t! something would ve said about the affray they concluded to make a statement, Mrs. Van Kleeck said that on the next night after the assault a gang of ruitians Cd na near her house, looking tor her son or Crum.

LETTER FROM THE MAN OF ’37. An Old Republican’s Views—Testimony from the Threshold of the Tomb to Ameri- canism—The Crusade in Canada. Orrawa, Canada, August 17, 1870, Before eavering upon the real subject of this letter, halfa dozen political ttems, although they are bat corroborations of previous predictions already made in the columns of the New YORK HERALD, aud even before that, I will relate one little trifling in- cident which occurred a few days since, aud occurs almost daily in a modified form, The holy alliance between MacDonald, Holton and Mackenzie, suggested some time since In the HERALD, assumes every day an air of greater proba- bility. The papers which at first scouted the idea now admit its feasibility aud its desirability, I saw last week a genticman from Montreal, who, from ia connection with the leading government journal and careful considera- tion of political matters, I look upon, ex- cept in print, as one of the best authorities to Canada. He assured me that there was not the slightest doubt but that such an alltance would be formed, if the question of independence or annexa- tion made any headway during the next three months, From Toronto we have rumors o! yet another coalition, the parties to which would be Sir G. E. Cartier, representing the Catholics of Quebec, and the Hon. George Brown, representing the Orangemen aad Protestants of Ontario—a millennial lookout, certes, Stranger things have, however, happened; although to take up with Mr. Brown would signify, necessarily, the abandonment of / Sir Jonn A. MacDonald, A spiit between the latter and Cartier can only be compared to a separation of the Siamese twins. There have been bickerings between. them of lave, that we all know, Besides, Sir John’s health has beeu much broken, and he may be anxious to quit the troubled arena of politics for a Chtef Justiceship, or some similar permanency. This would render such @ coalition possible, But that It would be a strong one I doubt. Mr. Brown, the editor of the Globe, the foremost, or, rather, the least backward newspaper tn Canada, Is utterly im- practicable. Although able, his views are narrow He would be a valuable Premier if he could kick his colleagues round and make them sit cowering in their chairs, But tact, conciliation, of these he knows about as much as @ hippopotamus of the swallsword exercise. Being a violent Protestant, while Carter i as violent a Catholic, the temper and obstinacy of each being equal, thelr union never oould last, A HARSOR OF REFUGE. Acouple of months since the Heeanp alluded to the severe contest Sir G. K. Cartier had experienced at the last election, and the utter impossibility of his being returned for Montreal East again, after his unpopular course on the coal and flour taxes.

They had tetters of introduction, as well as a letter of invitation from the old. gentleman himselt— who is avery model of courtesy—praying @ visit.
