To annex Al- sace to the grand duchy of Baden 1s to Seprive France of these two otuer departments—the Bas-Rhin, with Strasbourg, Saverne,chelestadt, Wissembourg, Haguenau, the Haut-ithin, with Colmar, Mulnausen, Beliort and Altkirch. But tn order thus to pay tne fiddling ome reigns at Munich and the gam bling one at Baden the price of their complicity the acnites of King William must first crush those of France. Let no one, therefere, feel any illusion. The struggle ts gigantic, decisive. The downfall of France or that of Vrussia will be the result, TEE POSITIONS IN THE FIELD. At Chalony, Strasbourg, Nancy and Metz— Bazaine’s Stategy—He “Knows the Prus- sian Tactics.” {From Galignani’s Messenger, August 16.) A letter from Chalons of the 12th of August say: The Eleventh battalion of the Garde Mobile ar- rived yesterday, and we have now from 12,000 to 13,000 men of that force here. Rain fell without ceasing ali night, the wet penetrating through the canvas of the tents. The new comers, and es- aro 4 the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fiftecuth atralions, Who have not yet their quarters well organized, must have been submerged. This morn- ing the six o'clock exercise had to be abandoned in consequence of the weather. We remained antil nine watching tue ratn fall, in conversation and dis- cussing the present war. The resignation of the Ministers, which we read in tue journals of the Loun, was a general topic. At nine the trumpet sounded for soup; the clouds broke for amoment; we ar- ranged ourseives a3 well as we could, and ate with @ good appetite, The mail arrived, and all ga- thered around the corporal, who read out tle names and distributed the letters and journals. Itis not correct that the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth came here from Besancon, The first named only came irom that town, the Kleventh from Langres, and the ‘Twelfth had received orders from this place before Teaching the cestination at first dicated. Tho three remaining battalions completing the contin- gent of the Sejne arrived this morning. Almost all the men here are now armed with the converted breech-loaders, Another communication from Chalons, in Siecle, M. Texier being the writer, says:— On Tuesday the trains from Paris went no farther than Avricourt, ‘ihe rest of the line as far as Strasbourg 13 abandoned, If the journalists who pretend that the service is continued as in ordinary Umes eame to Nancy I should only have, in order to undeceive them, to take thom to a large walling Foom wich tie directors bayo placed at the dia the * Beaten at Woerth, or rather at Froschwetller, at the foot of the Vosges, Marshal de MacMahon had taken tne Toad to Bitche along the raliway which ruus from Haguenau to Sarregucmines and For- bach, parallel with the frontier of the Palatinate, But, ouce arrived at Niederbronn and Reichshoffen, the Duke de Magenta moved obliquely to the lef, and, skirting the counterforts of the moun- tains, arrived with 8,000 men on Sunday mora- lng at Saverne, after having passed through Ob bronn, Ingwiller and Bouxwiller. ‘The cause of w movement Is explained by the defeat of the French at Saarbruck ana the advance movement of Gene- Tal Steinmetz upon Forbach and St. Avoid. If Marshal MacMahon had coatinaed his march on Bitche he would have come upon the enemy, who was already in possession of Pac eenomiies, Saraibe, Rohrbach and the road which unites these loc.lities to Alsace; he, therefore, tuclined to the southwest, not having any other line of retreat. After baving pursued the Marshalas ‘aras Ingwiler, the Prince Royal of Prussia seems to dave paseed throagh Goetzenbruck, Lemberg and Rohrbach, across the mountains, leaving to his right Bitche and to his left ’aalsbourg, two littic fortresses which command, one the defiles of the Vosges at the point where they touch German territory, and the other the road leading from Saverne, in Alsace, to Suar- bourg, in Lorraine, This very bold movement, cared out over dificult roads, and which ougit to have taken at least some days, consi- dering the masses tobe put in motion, gave the Prince the advantage of putting his right at Kohr- bach in communication with the left wing of the Army of the North, From Rolrbach, his forces be- ing disengaged, he could either cat off the commu- nications of MacMahon with the French headqua tera, if the General should remain at Saverne, or else Uhreaten Nancy directly, and tirow upon Metz the troops which protected the former town. We learn likewise that his adversary foresaw the danger which threatened him, From Saverne the Duke de Magenta continued to fall back on the capital of Lorraine, Atthe same time that the Orown Prince thus advanced across the Vosges the two other German armies—commanded by the King at -the centre and by Prince Frederick Charles at the left wing—likewise gained ground perpendicularly to the fronuer to the right and left of the ratiway from Forbach to Metz, pushing their skirmishers to within three leagues of the latter place, The Nord, on tis alde, gays:— As far as can be judged by these contradictory and not very clear informations, the army of Prince Frederick Charles appears to be opposite the bulk of the French forces, massed between Metz and the Nied; the division of General Steinmetz seems to have advanced its outposts as far as Pont-a-Mous- son, where it 1s in communication with the Prince Royal's right wing; the latier advancing by the line of Strasbourg to Paris, doubtiess proposes to turn the French positions, which would thus find them- selves surrounded, in front by Prince Frederick Charles, to the right by General Stemmetz, aod in the rear by the Prince Royal. Inthe case of a de- he of {he firat by the Frepat, the laa! hrs on himseif in a dangetoud position, piaced aa he wou! be between a victorious army {n his rear and the camp of Chalous in his ront. This latter ts about to be considerabiy augmented by the corps newly formed in Paris. On the other hand, the corps under Gene- ral Steinmetz are apparently intended to support, a8 necessity may arise, either of the others. The in- formation resulting from several telegrams is that the Germans have found, in the various forts of ue Vosges which they bave occupied, abundant stores, which fact leads to the supposition that the retreat of MacMahon’s and de Fatlly’s corps waa much more precipitate than was at first supposed. We must add, on this matter, that Bitche, which was also believed to be abandoned, is still in the hands of the French; according to news from # German source, it is only occupied by a few companies of the Guard Mobile, The Prussians have contented themselves with observing it with @ smail detachment.

The Sunday Horse Car Legnl War in Newark—The John Boliman Test Case. At last light is beginning to break in on the reason of those Newark cnfans les anctens who sought through @ misguided idea of morality, taught with @ largo desire to gain some little notoriety, to oppose the popular will im the matter o ning horse cars on Sunday, and now tne opinion begins to prevall that the war on the subject iy fast approaching that mystical yet sug- gestive “last ditch.” {t certainly 1s trae that Mr. Rodman Backus and his anti-norse car colleagues are quietly taking &@ back seat in the:prosecution of the war, and the prospect 1s that peace will shortly be declared without even a singlo battle having been fought. In the case of one of the gentiemen named, who is the senior partnor in a Newark hara- Ware establishment, it 1s stated as a fact that his op- position to Sunday cars has cost his firm tie loss Ge custom to the extent olfseveral thousands of dol- ure. Yes‘erday the trial of John Bailmap, one of the eighteen conductors and drivers arreated two weeks. ago, aud whose was to be made « test one, came up before Justice Miller of Newark, Thera were present Morton K.

Mr. Currie took an opposite opinion, and the Justice not being quite clear-headed on the subject con- cluced to postpone his decision till next Tuesday. His Honor ts reported to have stated that he had abandoned his original intention of continuing these prosecutions of car conductors, He had been con- siderably enilghtened on the subject durtug the week past.
