The New York HERALD correspondent, writing from the “Headquarters of the Seconda Army of the Loire, at Le Mans,” at midnight on the 11th inst,, @ives the following particulars of the second day’s battle between Chanzy’s forces and the German army under Prince Frederick Charles, He writes:— AN BVENTFUL DAY. This has been one of the most eventful days in the history of France during the present war, and itis probable that one of the most eventful battles fought eince the struggle began closed at nightfall of this bye TAKING UP POSITIONS. After the defeat of yesterday (January 10) General Chanzy, dispiaying much energy, rallied his broken columns, and, having recelved reinforcements, de- termined to strike another blow to retrieve his for- tunes, Knowing that the whole hope of France cen- tred upon the ability of his army to break through the strong opposition of the Red Prince and advance to the relief of Paris. After a night of unceasing labor and anxtety daylight found the French forces pre- pared for the conflict. Thetr army consisted of three corps, the Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Twenty- first, respectively, under the command of Admiral Jourequiberry and Generals Colomb and Jouffroy. These corpé averaged 50,000 men each, making an effective force of 150,000 men, the whole under the ‘supreme control of General Chanzy. By ten o'clock in the morning Jourgaiberry’s corpd had © taken up 4 position on the right bank of the river Huisne, General Colomb’s on the plateaa of Au- ‘vours, and Generalg/ouffroy’s on the right, covering ‘the village of Brette. OPENING OF THB BATTLE. The Prussians advanced aleng three roads and are said to have been under the command of Prince Frederick Charles himself. They were apparentiy 100,000 strong. Soon after ten o’clock sharp firing “was opened by the Prussians from well-located bat- teries on the leit of the French. It was replied to ‘with spirit, i STORMING OF JOUREQUIBERRY’S POSITION. Very soon a large force of German infantry, flanked by cavalry, advanced under cover of a heavy artillery fire, striking the right of Admiral Jourequiberry’s position. The assaulting column was met bya flerce artillery fire from many fons, including @ number of mitrailieuses of the new pattern. The struggle now became exceedingly severe, and was wel! contested. But although the Germans suffered heavy loss, they finally succeeded in driving back the French, capturing early two guns and taking andholding the important position near the river. THE GERMANS CHECKED. General Chanzy, perceiving the danger which threatened his position, moved forward his reserves of artillery to the support of Admiral Jourequiverry, ‘These opened a terrific fire, which checked fora while the further advance of the Germans In that di: tection. SEVERE ASSAULTS REPULSED. Two or three severe assaults were made by the Germans to secure further advantages, the object ‘being to take the position hela by the French at La “fillere. The French, however, were strongly posted. ‘and fought with great courage and determination. Each assault was repulsed with serious loss to the Germans, the French also losing heavily. SHARP FIGHTING ON THE CENTRE, Meantime an equally flerce attack was made on the French line covering the railroad to Chartres and Paris. After twe hours’ desperate fighting the French centre was driven back. It retreated, how- ever, slowly and in good order for a short distance only, to a position in rear of that first occupied, and where the rising ground af- forded good facilities for the artillery. Here a heavy force of guns was parked, which, manned by the marines, opened a severe and well directed fire ‘upon the advancing enemy. Tlus not only checked the Germans, but compelled them to fall pack in turn. A heavy counter fire soon opened from the German batteries, which, during the engagement, ‘haa advanced to a commanding position on the left of the railroad. The superiority of the German guns in firing soon became apparent, After an unequal dfiel the French fire slackened, the Germans ‘causing great ‘loss to the French lines. Still the French infantry maintained their position heroically, and another -attempt to disiodge signally fatled. A GERMAN FLANK MOVEMENT. For some time the engagement nad the character -of an artillery duel; but when the German lines shad taken the positions assigned them a more Active attack commenced, evidently with @ -Gesire on the part of the Germans to capture the ‘Position on the right bank of the Huisne, in order to execute a flanking movement, with the object of cutting between the army and Le Mans, and captur tog a large number of prisoners. CHANGE OF TACTICS, At four o’clock the tactics of the Germans seemed #0 be changed. A heavy massing of troops took place on the French right, under cover of the wood, aear the village of Brette, which was held by the French. The wood was on the extreme left of the Prussian position, stretching for miles to the south- east of theplain between the road and villages, and were commanded by the Prussian artillery, ‘which was well posted on the left under cover of the wood, * RPFORT 70 DISLODGE THE GERMANS.

Its contents are of quite an interesting character. { proceed to transmit the. letter by special cable telegram verbatim to New York for publication in your columns. THE PRINCE DE JOINVILLE IN CHANZY’S CAMP. The HERALD special writer saya:—The Prince de Joinville has just returned to France from his exile in ‘England. Immediately after landing his Royal Highness went direct to the headquarters of the French army under General Chanzy. Finding the General with his staif, the Prince made himself known to him at once, and requested that he be assigned a command in the war of defence of France, THE SWORD OF ORLEANS REFUSED BY THE DEMO- cRATS. General Chanzy welcomed the Prince tn hisown name and that of the country, and expressed his personal willingness, as well as the pleasure {it would give him, to accede to his demand, had he complete power to do so. This he did not enjoy, however. The General (Chanzy) telegraphed immediately to the executive here at Bordeaux, stating briefly the fact of the Prince’s arrival in camp, his inclination and application. M. Gambetta hesitated during a few minutes, next consulted with his colleagues, and replied at once by telegraph that the request was refused by the government of France, and the Prince de ‘Join- ville ordered toleave France immediately. General Chanzy informed the Prince, in the most delicate yet decisive manner, both of the decision and order of the government in his case. ROYAL REFUSAL AND BADICAL DISCIPLINE. _ Prince dé Joinville bowed, but replied that he de- Clined to leave the country again. He said, “AsI have been refused a command in the French army I ‘will remain in France and serve in the ranks with my countrymen as a private soldier.” Here was a grave dilemma. General Chanzy telegraphed a detail of the case to Gambetta and again asked for instructions. M. Gambetta replied instantly by the telegraph in‘ the following words:—‘“‘If Prince de Joinville refuses to leave as ordered arrest him instantly and for- ward him here as a prisoner,"’ Prince ae Joinville having been informed of the contents of this order, in its very words, still per- sisted in his refusal to leave, exclaiming, “I shall see if the French people will sanction the arrest of one of their countrymen for the crime that he 1s will- ing to fight with them in the ranks of the army of the French nation.” General Chanzy heard him to the end, but affirmed in reply that if he “did not obey the order of the government his arrest would be accomplished immediately.” RXILE AGAIN. The Prince de Joinville appeared to reconsider his position, and—perhaps having ascertained the full extent of its dificulty—observing the exact position in which his refusal to leave placed Genera! Ghanzy personally, as well as being moved by nis sense of appreciation of the very respectful and really friendly treatment which he had just enjoyed at the hands of the General, left the headquarters, ‘Went again to sea, and returned to England.

The French Chargé d’Affaires in Lonaon has jomed the Orleanist party, as have several of the leaders of the Bonaparte imperialist party. * THE NATHAN MURDER, A majority of the papers of this city yesterday morning contained some ‘startling information in reference to'the Nathan murder, tn which it was as- sertea that a Chicago detective named Filcker had discovered the murderer, aud had in his possession one of the diamond studs torn from the shirt bosom of Mr. Nathan; also a locket sald to belong to the family. The reason assigned for not arresting the individual and handing him over to the officers of the law was fear on the part of this “expert” from Chicago that he would be defrauded out of his portion of the large reward offered. It was also charged that ata con- versation with Superintendent Kelso the latter had denranded that all the detectives in his department should have an equal share of the reward. Ina conversation with Superintendent Keiso yeste! by & HERALD reporter, he stated ne never made such demand from the Chicago hon but, on the contrary, ee him if he any in- formation that would lead to the arrest of the mur- derer to make it mown at once and he weuld re- ther. gtated “tat, in. bis opinion, the.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. ~~ Toxpon, Jan, 15, 1871, Tamenabled to announce by spectal cable tele- gram to the HERALD the following important intelll- gence on the subject of the Franco-Prussian war, its present diplomatic tendencies and immediately approaching territorial consequences after peace: — The circumstance of M. Caumean’s recent special visit to the Mmpress Eugénte, at Chisethurst, with reference to the subject of the restoration of the re- gency of government in France and the rehablilita- tion or reconstruction of the ancient form of Legislative Assembly for that country is much talked of in political circies and canvassed with very atttentive earnestness both in France and Kngland. It isgaid that the idea of the restoration contem- plates a close alliance between France and Prussia in the future, after the termination of the war, BISMARCK'S PLAN OF GOVERNMENT FOR FRANCE, Count Bismarck was approached recently ina very skilful manner with reference to the highly im- portant subject of the coming government for France. The Prussian Premier refused at once and entirely to commit himself on the matter of a Bonaparte res- toravion, Having made a few remarks Count Bismarck said:—‘Afver Paris falls we shall find there a de facto French government. If that Power 1s willing to gccept our plan of peace and to elect a conatitu- tional government to confirm its terms we shall not interfere in the internal afairs of France. If on the other hand, this temporary; yet de sacto govern- ment, ts inclined, wickedly inolined, to further pro- long a wicked war, we will then be willing to treat, the terms of peace amd the remainder with the French empire which has not yet been constitution- ally set aside,” RUSSO-GERMAN POINTS OF IMPERIAL ARRANGEMENT. The governments of Prussia and Russia are, as I am assured to-day, willing to acknowledge the re- storation of the French empire, based on the follow- ing plan:— First—A modification of the commercial treaty of the year 1860 between France and Engiaod. Second—That the Eastern question (Black Sea navi- gation, war and the rest) shall henceforth be re- garded as one of secondary consideration in the ex- ecutive policy and foreign diplomacy of France. Third—That that portion of the territory of the kingdom of Belgium which is now known as French Flanders shail be detached from Belgian rule and annexed to France in lieu of the domain of Alsace, whicn shall, as well as ere tie be untied ms Germany, ey ae SES Se This last named proposition, with reference to Luxembourg, ts embodied in the peace proposal plan of Prussia and Russia, with the view of satia- fying the amour propre of the French nation and in order to reconcile the French people to the propo- sition of a restoration and the remainder of the changes, which are indicated alone, and their con- sequences, ’ FREE THOUGHT AMOXG THE GERMANS. Dr. Lilienthal on the Darwinian Theory. Dr. F. W. Lilienthal, a German physician of this city, delivered a lecture on the Darwinian theory before the German Freethinkers’ Union, at 101 Hes- ter street, yesterday evening. This society is an as- sociation of Germans who discuss general topics trom the standpoint of the most radical and abso- lute freedom. The Doctor said that things as they existed in nature were not created after a perfect pattern by a Divine Maker, as was generaily believed, hor were they absolutely perfect. He selected the eye and the heart, which were commonly consid- ered as the most wonderful organs of the human bony, to illustrate his opinion. He gave a short anatomical description of these two parts of the human body, and attempted in an ingenious manner to snow that these organs might in some respects be more perfect, and were capavie of improvement. The lecturer stated that the physical man, as he appeared now, Was not physically perfect, as could be seen from some minor parts of his organization, for which the physicians had not yet discovered any use or necessity, The lecturer then gave tllustrae tions from the animal world, showing how thi had improved trom lower organizations to their | Bi present be arance. He praises | by saying that as man had been developed by improvement under the process of natural sel edd m an in- ferior organization to his present high type, so in the future improvement was also possible and probabie. Ee us homo was still in @ state Of transition; progress in the physical conformation of man iad not, he believed, as yet ceased. It was an ab- surd error, im the iignt of advanced science, to be- lieve, as the orthodox word tnculcated, that we had been created after a fixed type or had at present at- tained a fixed type.

Burning of the Steamer FT. L. Mic- Gill Below Demphis. Thirty Lives Supposed to Have Been Lost. PARTICULARS OF THE CATASTROPHE, | Memrnts, Jan, 15, 1871. The steamer T, L. MgGill, from St. Louls for New Orleans, was burned on Shoo-Fly bar at nine e'clock last night, The fire broke out aft. Owing to @ gale prevailing the flames spread rapidly and the passengers had barely time to rusii to the bow and plunge into the water before the fire was upon them. To add to the horror of the scene the weather was intensely cold and many who plunged into the river were chilled and sunk to rise no more, ‘The survivors gave imperfect and conflicting re- ports. The boat had been aground for two days, and had unloaded 200 tons of her freight in order to getover the bar. She was laden with 900 tons of general merchandise, including pork and coal oll. Just as the passengers were preparing to retire an alarin of dre was raised and a general stampede en- aued. ‘The steamers St. Francis and Aan White, which had passed her, were several miles above, but see- ing the fire, turued back and arrived in time to ren- der valuable assistance. Tho H. ©. Yerger, lying near by, also readered asistance. The Aun White brought up the following Persons, picked up == along the shore:— Oliver Cottrell, first engineer, St. Louls; Issac Austin, stoker; Jerry, Larry and ©. H. Crane, cooks; Pat Collins, deck sweeper, Moline, Ill; Witham O'Brien, rouster, Chicago; David R. Jones, D. Sher- man, Ohio; Frank Green, Betvidere, Wis.; Thomas Rogers, cabin boy, Vicksburg; John Black, cabin boy, New Orleans; Abe McFali, Cairo; and the fol- lowing passengers:—W. S. Evil, St. Louis, Mo.; Peter Mediven, St. Louts, Mo.; D, A. French, Moscow, Ky.; Jerry Daily, St. Louis; A. J. M. Colwell, Hickman county, Ky.; Valentine Fox, St. Louis; Willam Johnson Coy, New Orleans; Mr. Shingiepreex, Mil- waukee; 0. L. Barnes, Bartlett, Iowa; Michael Kelly, St. Louis; and atso the following colored roustabouts:—Dennis Lewis, George Malone, Port Jones, Alexander Johnson, Alfred Pethon, Charles Brown, Henry Hudson, Franze Nelson, Charles Brown (No. 2), Henry Clay, Moses Hill, Richard Hill and Samuel Whilling. It was hoped that Captain Tompkins and William McFarland, the first clerk, were saved; but the ar- rival of the St. Francis to-night gives little encour- agement to the thought that they still live. So con- fused and contradictory are the reports that it is m- possible to give an accurate estimate of the number of persons lost; but tt ts probable that thirty of those on board the steamer when the flames were first discovered are now dead, and that the number in- cludes four women and three children. Thomas F. Evans, a barber, of St. Louis, cied soon after he was placed on board the St. rrancis, from wounds and exposure. In addition to Captain Tompkins and William McFarland, the first clerk, who are supposed to be Jost, a German and his wife are missing; also a car- penter from St. Louis, who was bound for Green- ville, Miss., two women, three children, the colored chambermaid and Philip Lock, of Philadelpia, Pa. Mr. Everett, o1 St Louis, who came here on the St. Francis, saysj that a man and his wife, who were cabin passengers, floated past them, holding on to the stage plank. As they went by with tho current the woman said to her husband, “I am freezing— let's die together.” She then let go the plank, and her husband grasped ner, but he was too exhausted to maintain her above the water, an@ both sank locked in each other’s embrace. Cottrell, the engineer, thinks that at least fifteen Persons were lost. The pilots (Kelly and Murray) were saved, Kelly badly frozen; also William Wood- ruff, second clerk; John Groanig, steward, and George L. Russell, cook. The former was saved by. the exertions of the officers of the St. Frayots, and was badly chilled when found, Mr. Woodruff re mained with the freight, Captain Tompkins and McFarland were last seen on the boat, using every exertion to save the passengers. [t is feared they edo SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15, 1871.
