Premier Count Bismarck Expounds Prussin’s Position—Ready for Vindication by War}; Ready for PeacePrunsin’s Firat Grievances and Present Anxicties—An Armistice Said to be at Hand—Prussian Artillery Reinforce- meutn, LonDon, Sept. 25, 1870, A spectal correspondent of the HERaLp, dating at the headquarters of the Prussian army at Versailles, writes on the 19th instant, in the evening, the letter which I transmit by cable to New York, as fol- jows:— The HERALD writer says:—I enjoyed an opportu- nity to-day of nearing Count Bismarck’s opinion re- garding the political, military and general situation as it now exists. Premier Bismarck declared that the governmental and Cabinet position of Prussia on the subject of the quarrel with France had never changed, even in the slightest degrec, from the hour in which the declaration of war was was proclaimed by France te the present moment. Pragsia was compelled to draw the sword most un- willingly. Prussia then declared that Germany would never sheathe the sword thus drawn until all Germany, the Fatherland, was rendered safe and secure from future cruel assaults prompted by the ambition and insolence of an unprincipied neighbor. Prussia makes the same declaration, repeats it now, confident in the justice of her cause, We said Count Bismarck anticipated victory from the first, but we left tt to the experiences of actual war to teach and point out to us what order of guarantees would effectu- ually accomplish the object which we lad in view at the commencement of the stuggle. Blood, treasure and personal sufferings and griefs, all these has 1 cost us to win our past victories im the fleid. These facts, sald the Count convinde the Prussian nation that our people can hope for no full or complete security without first reciaiming those territories {Alsace and Lorraine) which were wrested, wrenched, sir, from Germany for ulterior purpos of national aggression, and to aid the dominant Iust of conquest for the spoilator. Prussta desires peace most earnestly, but she deserves such a peace only as will bring full security for tne future of the coun- try against this system. In reply to a question as to whether Germany Wiil be able to endure a lengthened campaign, he Count Bismarck) replied:—Tne people who talk of the exhaustion of Germany are entirely ignorant of the facts of our resources. We ve large, ataple, re- sources, and hands fitted for the hardest work and soldier toil. Whilst we are anxious for peace we have no fear, none at atl, for the future. YHE ARMISTICE, With regard toan armistice Premier Count Bis- marck said that the chances of war each day complicated the matters of nogotiations for peace. Prussia was willing to listen to legitimate 4 proposals tendered with the view and seek- ing to terminate the war. She was ready to listen to such proposals coming from any quarter they man if they should be of Sach & character as would be tikely to lead to prac. tical results. In view of the present disorganized condition oy France it did not matter, Prussia would not object, whether such proposals came from the representatives of the ex-empire of France or from the heads of the present provisional government of that country, PEAC An armistice would, however, be entirely useless, Suid the Count, uniess it was arranged so as to lead to peace. PRUSSIAN BATTERY REINFORCEMENTS. One hundred and thirty-four additional siege guns have arrived at the Prussian batteries before Paris, and @ great many more are being brought on and arenow nearly up.

KE, Hudson: “tad brother on Lourd the Cambria. He ts ed, CHARLES W. BINGHAM.” Mr. Bingham is a brother of the late agent of tho company, who, with his family, was also a passen- ger on board the unfortunate vessel. The Messrs. Henderson, from the fact that they had heard no news of the matter themselves from the agents in Glasgow, wore inclined to doubt the genuineness or the above telegram, Le er were at once made by them at t! Mice of the Western Union Telegraph Company, No. 145 Broadway, and uw reply the fol- lowing letter was received from Mr. Eckert, the Gen- eral Superintendent: To Messrs.

Of course the answer of Mr. Eckert thoroughly satisfea the agents of the truth of tie telegram re- ceived from their Pittsburg correspondent, bat still they are confident that this telegram only referred to the fact unat Mr, Albert Hodson bad not matte his voyage in the Cambria, Though his name appears in the passenger list of that vessel they are of 0) ion that he must bave gone by the Caledonia. It is the custom of the office to check of the names on tho passenger Ist immediately be- fore the vessel starts, god bis mame has not been thus checked off on the Ist of the Cambria, [t 18 also the custom when a pus- senger changes his intention of proceeding by a cer- tain vessel lis name 1s uot inserted in the list of the vessel by which he actually makes the voyage. In this way, they believe, that he must have given up his mtention of proceeding in the Cambria, and, most fortunately ior himself, took passage in the Caledonia. Nothing appears tn the telegram to Mr. Hodson, in Indiana, to wdicate that his brotuer bad been a pas- senger on board the lost slip, and they believe that the latter, in his anxiety to relieve the sus- peuso of his brother m America, who sup- posed that be was on board the Cambria, had seut the laconic telegram “safe,” which has produced all this paipfal Paper mong the friends of the ill-fated passtngers and through the whole of New York. No news has been recelved by Messrs. Henderson from home yet on the subject, and it 1s decidedly most weonenle that elther in his telegram to his brother Mr, Henderson woulda have men- tioned something of the fearful disaster or that the agents here would have heard some news from Glas- ow if anything had been heard from the missing Fouts. All things considered the views taken by the Messrs.

No doubt the editor of the Sun has been informed by some discontented person. aboard that what he published was the truth, But we, the crew of the Guerriere, are most of us men that have served in the navy for years, and know if we have any grievances to make about iil-creat- ment thatif stated to Captain Stevens they will be redressed without resorting to falsehood through the public papers. The general treatment on board of this ship ts according to the regulations laid down to govern the navy. The editor of the Sun asserts Uhat men have been punished for bringing copies of that paper on board. Such is not the case, All papers have a free circulation on board, the HERALD having the greatest patronage. By inserting tls in your valuable panes you will confer @ great favor on tho crew of the Guerrtere, for none of us like to see our crew or officers slan- dered by some cowardly sneak who is circulating such falsehoods concerning our ship.
