“TOR MARCH ON PAR. | zezsctrecacets Grand Military Spectacle as the Prus- sians Sweep Forward Who Huge Army in Close Order, in Discipline and With the Telegraph. HOW THE UHLANS PIONEER THE WAY. Our special correspondents at the seat of war near Paris supply the following highly interesting and exciting reports of the progress of the grand march ef the Prayaian army on Paris, ‘The German Sweep Onward Towards the City—A Grand Military Spectacle—Order and Discipline of the Huge Army—How the Ger- man Troops Appear on the Road—Courteous, yet Watchful and Exact—The Telograph Lines—How the Teutons Make Themselves at Heme. HAGENAU, August 29, 1870, ‘The German armies have captured a large slice of France, havé left tne smaller fortresses to the rear and swept forward. The line of strongholds on the frontier, Wissembourg, Strasbourg, Phalzbourg, Bit- sche, Thionville—that line which was to serve a8 at east a alight bulwark against all Teutons offiensive- Jy disposed—has been considerably flanked and marched through by the latter in the year of grace 3870, The relatively insignificent detachments that have been left to watci or capture sald strongholds ve not been the slightest drawback to the onward march of King William’s hosts. Metz alone has 60 Jar been a serious obstacle in their path; but Mets would have been set at naught in like manner had 3 not been for the presence of Bazaine’s army in the vicinity, It is only the Sebastopot of the hour be- cause 1 serves as the camp of a huge campaigning force, rather than as a mere fortified place. ‘The movements of the active army operations can beso much more speedily be made known to you $rom the French side that all speculations in regard to them on the part of one writing from this pomt ‘would be well nigh as stale to your readers as last year’s almanac. Still, it 1s not wholly without foun- dation that we are here said to be at the seat of war, for we are behind the curtain, on the rear part of the stage, where, beside the by play of fortresses in pro- cess of siege, we have an excellent and near view of she actors and their trappings as they move onto enact their tragical roles before the enemy and the rest of mankind. Taking advantage of the privilege allowed me to be at this time in this region of coun- wy, I have of course sought to see and hear all that eue could; but it must be confessed that, between feid councils and Berlin orders, the war section has wot been Made very pleasant for the pen and pencil fraterntty. Scores of these gentry, seeking in vain what they might devour in the shape of a pass ora cramb of news, and cousequentiy very much down- . cast thereat, have come under my observation. They aave here many nationalities and claims, but the in- exorable Count has kept them in the background, ‘with tne exception of a few Javored ones who got ‘the lead. Imay mention one instance of severity and tantalization. Quite a personage, both tn title ‘and means—a coach and six for travelling behind the muskets Would have been #8 nothing to bim in the Way of costs, being an amateur news gatherer—de- @ied to go as correspondent. He lacked only per- mission to go within tie range of cannon and under the hail of bullets. Orders in council prevented that formal permission being given him. However, in Berlin he manages to procure the office of bearer of private despatches from the wlfe of a very high ofm- eer to the latter at the front. He sets out for France wumediately. Before the exhibition of the letters all barriers fall; military trains, passes, requisitions are accorded in grand style. ‘The “personage” arrives at the army and pre- wents his letter. ‘Very well; we willsee,” says we General. “Take a seat; have some dinner.’ Per- sonage, very jaded and hungry afverten days’ trav- ding hardships of ail kind, eats a mouvhful or two; aiter dinner oilcers get up @ smoke while the per- senage 1s left in the corner without as much as a pipe or cigar being offered to him. He is @ smoker, but the civilities not being extended to him he hag nothing tosmoke. Bustle, business ensue on the arrival of couriers with news about the enemy; the General has not time to talk. Next morzing General meets personage on the wayside; “really sorry,” says he, “that you will Rave to go back out of the lines; but tne King abso- | Jutely prohibits me from having any foreign officers { or correspondents with me, I will give you a pass | out of the lines. Good morning.” Personage has to return as he went, and of course there is no balm in Germany to soothe bis woes and regrets. He narrated to me these facts, adding that he thongat the reason why he was not allowed to tarry arose from the fact that the subordinates around the General did not wish the latter to do the Jeast thing In opposition to the royal flat, hence they exhibited a very cold shoulder, and persuaded the General to do likewise. It was a rare chance in these times; but, then, rare chances go for naught ‘unless seized tightly hold of at the proper moment. Ihave met many Germans, especially of the shoot- Ing persuasion, who hold that no correspondents should be allowed to follow the operations; many of them are firmly persuaded that the French generals get an inkling of the campaign movements on this side from the English newspapers. ‘All the English Journais are immediately sent to the French gener- als the moment they are received across the chan- nel.” Such was the remark to me yesterday of an educated German civilian. I have just returned to this point from an explor- Ang Visit to two of the beleagured places, Strasbourg and Phalzbourg, but beyond the bursting of a few shells there was little for me to see that could not be seen on the roads and by-ways—viz,, marching and eounter-marching of troops, cannon, wagons, &c. The bombardments up to date e not been of a! very effective character; still at the present moment } the feeling among the troops sitting down before | i | | botn places is one of perfect confideuce that they ‘will be soon taken for the flag of the red, white and biack. On the way down here and to Strasbourg 1 ased at the old fortress of Rastadt--a very powerful one it ts, too; many of its heavy gunsare on the way to the point of siege. Rastadt was armed for the fray, and as the French a month ago were ex pected to attack it its commander had thrown @ pontoon bridge over the Rhine, 4 short distance off, by which the defending troops could pass over to the earth- works thrown up on the left side to dispute the pas- wage of the river. These earthworks are very much like those common in our war days; sharpened poles ariven in front of the line pointed Francewarda, and the trees had all been cut down in front for a thousand yards. The unlimbed tranks and fading foliage recalled the old fields around Richmond and Petersburg. By way of parenthesis 1 may mention that all the officers I have met on this side are not only cognizant of our late system of fighting, but | seem to have conned oy heart the names of the gen- erals and battle-flelds. ‘They know all abou t General Sheridan, who is staying at royal headquarters, It does not appear that the French studied so well our war and its details, judging by the country which they so lately and preeipitately left, as it has no sign of breastwork or any other preparation for defence, barring the old fortresses of the Vauban period and model. ‘There 1s but asmali force in Rastadt now, for no fears a re entertained as to its betng visited by the red-p anted zonayes, uniess wey droy in as prisé oners. It was @ chirpy sight, however, to Jook at the jJeatherned helmetéd sentinels as they paced back- w ards and forwards on the high earth mounds, the silhouette of their stout forms and trusty needle- guns being distinctly drawn against the biue hort- yon. Poor fellows, they are secing no glory or mi- trailieureigh balls, but only bread and meat; how- ever, as the sentinels gave us back our passes and we drove on our way inwardly rejoicing that we were not soldiers of King Wilhem or of the Gross Herzog of Baden, we did not particularly observe thet those senuncls were weeping over their sad and Jonely lot.

It was in vain I visited one cottage after another, using the very best arguments to convince them they had better stay. “If you give the soldiers what you have in the way of food, and so forth, they will be contented and go on, very likely, quietly; but if you leave your houses they will destroy everything.” So I told them over and over again; but they did not by apy means believe it. ‘The village was quickly de serted by ail who were able to go; still, with my customary courage, I stayed. ‘The Prussians are & Ane get of fellows and will bever hurt an old woman like me,” thought 1.

THE. ODD FELLOWS. the Grand Lodge of the United States—Names of the Officers aud Representatives. BALTIMORE, Sept. 18, 1870. To-morrow morning, at nine o'clock, the R. W. Grand Lodge of the United States of the Independent | Order of Odd Fellows will commence its forty-sixth annual session, in Odd Fellows’ Hall, on Gay street. A large number of the representatives are alreaay nere, and every train adds to the number. Previous rather hasty legislation upon regalia, the custody of charge books, &c., wil doubtless obtain the calm consideration and final action of this session, while the various pending constitutional amendments— some of which have been staved off from session to session for years—cannot be longer delayed. ‘The proposed amendments to articles one and seventeen of the constitution, 80 as to change the ttle from “Grand Lodge of the United States” to “Supreme Grand Lodge” or “Most Worthy Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows,” it is thought by many will fail of adoption, and that the suggestion cf Grand Master Pettit, of New York jurisdiction, to amend the above article so as to make it read ‘Federal Grand Lodge,” will be proposed, ‘The proposed amendment of article one of the constitntion 60 as to permit the alteration of the “unwritten work” by a four-fifths vote, instead of requiring the unanimous assent of ihe Grand Lodge, has been frequently “slain” already; but no sooner 1s it down than, Phenix-like, It is up again. Various other proposed amendments of minor | importance, as well as laws recently adopted in { apparent confilction with previous enactments, will be acted upon and straightened out in such @ man- ner as to avold future misconstruction. A very important feature of this session will be the election of grand officers, and at the present writung 1t is almost impossible to guess who will be the next presiding Grand Ofiicer. ‘The present Deputy Grand Sire, Frederick D, Stuart, and John W. Stokes, of | Pennsylvania, are the two most prominently brought to view in the contest, and unless a third candidate is nominated it will be out of the question to cor- rectly conjecture—the bailot alone can decide.

About five o'clock yesterday morning an oMcer of the Twentieth precinct, in traversing his post, discovered the dead body of John McCauley, a man sixty-four years of age, lying face downwards under the stoop of premises 322 West Forty-first street, with a slight bruise on his forehead. Sergeant James, in his written report of the case to Coroner Keenan, expresses the, opinion that McCauley had fallen on tus head and died from the injuries re- Hard Cases—The Danger which Floats Around Us—A Wide and Desolate ‘Waste of Humanity. In a rear room of the detective aepartment, Cen- tral Police OMce, Mulberry street, the famous Rogues’ Gallery is contained. It is a rare and & unique collection, embracing the portraits of 519 Togues and rascals of varying grades in vice and moral obliquity. Five hundred of the whole number are condemned by thelr looks alone, the remaining nineteen might pass for honest people if they only behaved themseives. This collection has been the work of four years. It contains the portraits of none but professional thieves, all of whom are familiar to the police. About half the total number are doing the State some service in Clinton and Sing Sing prisons, the other half are abroad among us, ready at any time tw make the most of thelr evil opportunities, But not all exactly here among us in New York. Comfortable a place of residence as this city makes for most thieves it occasionally grows too warm for over ardent profes- sionals. They are within the limits of the Union somewhere, but it needs little shrewdness to guess that the bulk of the battalion patronize New York. THE IDEA OF A ROGUES’ GALLERY ‘Was first started in 1857, and, according to Detective Officer Eustace, the credit of originating it lies with the detecilve force of this city. ‘The plan has since been adopted in every principal city in the country, and recently the London police have introduced it in |. thelr system. The gallery started in 1857 was ultimately broi up by reason of the indifferent character of the ambrotypes, which were either #0 badly taken or faded and blurred by time that they Were practically useless for purposes of identifica- ton. With the bursting up of the old gallery many portraits of distinguished burglars and pickpockets were lost or consigned to oblivion. The present gallery began de novo with card photographs in place of ambrotypes, and as all the rogues who graced the old gallery were given over to dumb forgetfulness, it was necessary to proceed by slow degrees towards the accumulation of @ new set. Ordinary thieves were numerous enough, but only the professtonal birds were privileged to appear in the gilt edged albums, ana as they were hard to catch at most times, the work of collection involved considerable time and a nice discriminating taste. Half adozen of those now in the gallery are dead and buried, and it is scarcely worth while to retain the impress of their unprepossessing features any longer in the collection. FOUR BRANCHES OF THE CRIMINAL ART ~ cover a majority of the rogues—-namely, shopltiting, pocket picking, burglary and sneak thieving. In these a dozen or 80 of the whole number have made | Known to the police that his efforts to diegulxe @ name for themselves, and are talked of by the de- tectives as being “celebrated” in such and such a line. A detective, in looking over the treasured por- traits in this gallery, casts a glance at the face of some notorious rogue whom he may have captured with the air of @ sportsman, showing the stuffed ures of the game he once gallantly hunted down. in the long and closely written index or guide to the gallery the following list of criminal avoca- tions 1s taken at random:—Jewelry swindler, contl- dence man, burglar, panel thief, general thief, sneak thief, snatcher, till-lapper (numerous), pickpucket (very numerous), forger (rare), burglar (qumerous), hotel thief, dishonest servant and pocketbook drop- eS The sneak thieves and confidence men are the est looking in the vile collection. The confidence man has the honestest face, the burglar the most forbidding. The sneak thief'has a wily, keen, siuts- ter appearance, the pickpocket is a silmy wretch, the Senne female servants are altogether a repul- sive set. THE THIEVES’ NOMENCLATURE. The aliases which some of them adopt are ordi- nary names, but among thelr pals and known to the detectives are many whose soubriquets are distinct- ive and designatory of some particular feature in their characters. One, in addition to his baptismal is called “Red Nose Barney; another * others are called, respectively, “Yank,? Shorty,” “Scotty,” “Ajax,” “California Billy,” “Johnny the Greek,” and 80 on. the gallery show a decided penchant for shoplifting, the English for picking pockets and burglarie: the imish for house larcenies and the nm, tives of the United States for all combinetl THERE ARE THREE GARROTERS, imported from the prolific soii of Old England. They are together in the album and are so evenly matched @ trio of rufians as one need wish to see. They are now ruralizing in Sing Sing. The first of them has @ complacently wicked look out of his eyes and a dare-devii assurance generally, that must have made lum a delightful companion for the other two black- guards. Of this pair, one, to make an odious com- parison, is not unlike the hero Garibaldi; but with the facial resembiance, of course, the relation ends. The other isa perfect type of the London cracks- man, broad-shouldered, bull-necked, and all animal in features. Each of the three albums holds 200 likenesses. In addition to the collection of portraits Mr. Moore, cierk of the office, keeps a book in which the thieves are fully ticketed for reference. The fol- lowing 1s a sampie Of a detailed sketch:— “No, 438.—Francls £, Pinto, aged 22, five feet seven inches, 135 to 140 pounds, dark brown hair, scar on the right side of chin, dark hazel eyes, very heavy black eyebrows, figure of a woman on right forearm, ‘woman in sitting posture; arrested by Officer Kohler, of the Second precinct, chargea with breaking a plate of glass in the Park National Bank and stealing $3,636; brought to this office by Dunn and Dolan, of the Sixth precinct.’? Another entry, No, 14, is briefly this:—‘Charies Wricht, pal of Eagan’s.”? The ‘pal’ connection in this instance is quite enough for the detectives. If they fail to find Charley they hunt up Eagan, and the “pal” is sure to be near at hand. A HIGHWAY ROBBER. One name is entered “Frederick Ross, highway robber.” Turning over to the gallery you find the man, and almost instinctively shrink before his fierce and unrelenting looks. Frederick looks every inch the highwayman. He is dressed in coarse clothes, a dark flannel shirt without a collar, and seems asif he had just quitted the penitentiary, ‘with @ malignant remembrance of his confinement. ‘The head is shaped like an inverted pumpkin, hair cropped very close, and a hyena like viciousness of expression lurks around the mouth. He ht be put down a3 belonging to the class of irreclaimable rafians who are born to scourge society and make mockery of both humanity and civilization. PLEASANT SOCIETY. Among the early patrons of the gallery and early entries in the record is “No. 3, William Johnson, alias Tip Little, shoplifter and pickpocket.” How Johnson came to be dubbed Tip Little 1s not stated, but anybody curious enough to go into the inquiry would be apt to conclude it was because he shared his ill-gotten gains parsimoniously with his “pals.” No, 29 1s Mrs. Clinesmith, the bright particular evil star among the feminine notabiitties. She has been arrested and convicted many times for shoplifting, Her skill and daring asa shoplifter are very great. She appears comfortably dressed, but most uncom- fortably disappointed at her last venture. Her face 1s without a solitary sredeeming feature—rugged, coarse and repulsive, with criminal thought stamped im every line, ONE OF THE ALLENS AND OTHERS. “Mart”? Allen, one of the precious branches of the Allen family tree, turns up here at No. 210, Hels a dangerous character, thoughtful but desperate, mus- cular and determined, and capable of perpetrating any crime against the decalogue. In conjunction with another villain he robbed Adams’ Express, was confined in Danbury jail, but by some means man- aged to escape and 1s suil at large. ‘No. 232 i8 “Dutch Heinrich,” a bank ‘sneak thief, @ bold, brazen-faced fellow, who at the present mo- ment Is at large, but whether in the city or not is uncertain, No. 285—George Thompson, alias Gunion, sneak thief and general handy man in any criminal enter- prize. There is something of a judicrous impu- dence in the looks of thie character. His face 1s nat as @ pancake and his mouth makes 2 wide slit across it, His last undertaking was robbing a butcher's cart in broad daylight. The officers who came to secure him hada rough experience at his hands. He will be aliowed to ponder in Sing Sing for some years hence, No, 39 is Daniel Rooney, aged nineteen, general thief. Here there 1s evident a moral and mental sense opacured to total darkness, The face and heaa indicate nothing but the deepest ignorance and de- pravity. The eyes are those of a being withouta ray of moral understanding or intellectual enlight- enment. ‘The face is broad and terminates in a jaw like a bull dog’s. The mouth is expressive of the lowest passions and the most debased instincts, No. 83—Thomas Golden, wagon thief, is quite a Bs of fair, open face, and mild, full eyes. But for looking so young heis wonderfully like Henry Ward Beecher. The latter over twenty years ago must have been very like this picture. Thomas Golden 1s not more than nineteen. Bad compan: and a weak will brought him to the Rogues’ Gal- lery, for he certainly wears the outward appear- ance of average nonesty and more tnan average ability. One page of the third aibum contains four “pocketbook droppers,’ a miserable set of wretches, who dupe and swindle the countrymen. Their business does not flourish now as it did a few years ago. ‘The countrymen are becoming sharper and more enlightened; but the usuai num- ber of fools can be found among them _ still. This quartet of rogues are very different from the burgiars on the opposite page. ceivea. The canse of death, however, will be determined by & post mortem examination to be made on the body by deputy Coroner Wooster Beach, M.D. McCauley Jived at 457 Seventh avenue, They look weak-kneed, cringing and terrified.

A FORLORN ROGUE.

CHOICE THIEVES, Joe Butts, a well-known bank sneak thief, looks much like a Gag el of the Episcopal persuasion, He 1s a deft hand at his nefarious business and hi erformed some telling featsin his day. Charle; Vticox, a notorious confidence man has ace neal Butts. The deeds this rascal has accomplished ars better known to the rural districts than they a here.

In all this collection of depraved and wretchet humanity there is a single face that looks out wit! the Jonging, eager, wistful gaze of misdirected an misled innocence, seeking: grace and ho; and redemption, profoundly sorrowful for ti evil in the past, and trusting to a bette! and , purer future. ft is a young girl seventeen, dressed in white, with @ plain blac! cross suspended on her bosom, @ large, round, ru: tic hat a her head, ‘eatures of regular contoud and eyes full of soul and meaning. She leans by @ balcony, and, as if to mark still more the singularit, of her appearance here amid ail these vile, forbid+ ding wretches, the style and finish of the photo-« graph are much superior to ail the rest. Her crime Was shoplifting. Might it not have been a klep' mania go strong and uncontrollable that ner was not responsible tor her actions? She looks @ solitary green thing in a biack and blasted waste. FEMALE PICKPOCKETS, ' Mary Hyde and Mary Willtams sit side by side as’ pickpockets, They are true specimens of the class, Mary Hyde tries to look innocent a8 @ babe, and ii she Sat beside you iu the cars with that serene); sanctimonious air you would never dream of holds mg her responsibi¢ for we loss of your pocketpook, She wears a@ gold chain and many rings; she wears a dainty hat, but m spite of her embroidered ae dress and other decoration Mary Hyde is a thief any one who takes @ second glance at her counte, nance. Tie rogues find it hard to wear the sem, blance of honesty. Educated rogues can do th¢ thingeasily, Political rogues can preach and 1ooK, honesty for a iifetime, but these poor, debased, brutish, ignorant wretches, whose life of crime dat from the cradle, nature bas stamped them with the irrevocable seal of her condemnation. No. 186—Margaret Bell has the remark Sppended to her name, “Not good looking.” Decidedly not. ‘The face is one of the most hideous imaginable in @ woman. ‘The forehead is low and the chin seems ta be lost inthe neck. Opposite to her is Ann Cava, nagh, a shoplifter, She 13 smiling and wmking ad the operator and looks altogether satistied with we situation. No. 299—Joseph Johnson, a Swiss, who attempted to rob and murder, 1s a very Villanous looking char, acter, He resembles one of those Greek biigandg recently executed for the murder of several Englist travellers, and whose likeuesses appeared in Har- pers some time ago. No. 142—Ejlen Cotfey, wife of Casey, who was shot. upon Seventh avenue lately, is here in the character @ pickpocket, She is not ul looking. A v large number of the rogues are down as pick- pockets, but there is no doubt they diversify theit labors by picking anything else when the chance offers, The Rogues’ Gallery 1s well Worth a visit. To curious observers of liuman nature no more ins structive volume than one of these albums could be furnished, There is much food for reflection and | much material for the study of the ethics of crime.
