THE LATE PRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR. Statement of tha War from Its Declaration to Its Close—Numbor of Battles Fought and Fort- resses Taken—Captures of Arcillery and Other Material—Number of Prisoners Taken, WASHINGTON, April 19, 1871. The following is an oMiciai statement of what Ger- many has done during her war with Franc War was declared by France on tie 19th of July, 1870, and though, ou the 28th of Januury, 1871, through the capicuiation of Paris, there was cessa- tion oF hestilities, tac war was not virtually ever uuul the 16th of February, 1871, therefore lastin altogether about two hundred and ten days. Urstfew days of this time—namely, up the 26th of July—were occupied in calling Into service and organizing the North German as Wellas south German armies; in their couceutra- ion, and In taking thelr strat gic position along the “Trier Landau” line, and everything was completed im tue marveliously short time of thirteen days, As the strength of these armies amounted to froin 490,000 to 600,600 men, there must have been tran ported over the different raigoad lies on un ave! age about 42,100 men per day, and only three of the five principal roads could be used to auy advantage. Yo be able to judge fatrly of the tinmen- sity and magnitude of these military and railway operauons, the large number of horses, cannons, ammunition and of hier wagons which were couveyed over these roads at the same time must be taken raion, as Well as the circumstance that up tothat time a@ battalion, squadron or battery Was considered as the regular freigut of a train, and also that fourarmy corps were carried across the whole of the present empire, and that during this journey ot s ‘al days men and horses had to be provide | with food, ‘The successes wiih which the German arms have met are in a great measure due to this really won- deriu rapidity of orgagization and conceuiration of the armes. Besides the thirteen days spent as mentioned above, the time passed in begotlating at Versailies— nately, from the 24th of January to the 16th of Feb- raary not be counted as actual warfare, thus leaving only 150 days in which the rrench empire wes conquered, Ja these 160° days me German arnites hdve had over 156 smatier or larger fights or confiets, have sougne seventeen decisive batiles, have taken. twenty-six jortresses or Jortified places, have nade prisoners 11,850 ofleers ant 363,000 men, and have captured 6.700 gins or mitrailicuses and 120 eagles and stands of colors.

Miss NINA Foster's DRAMATIC AND PoErtc Rr- CITALS always attract an audience of superior cul- ture and refinement, The selecuons wich Uy gifted young lady gave last evening, at Chic Tall, consisted of two scenes from “As You Like It,” “fhe Woollen Doll,” a scene from “flenry V.," “Main Truck,’ the hunting scene from “London Assurance,” “Young Gray Beard” and the balcony scene from “Romeo and Juliet.” They seived well to illustrate me versa thity of her talent, which ranges at will from grave to gay, from lively te severe, but is par- toularly effective in pathetic passages. The fine quality of her voice renders ita more serviceabie instrument than many a stronger organ, while her art of concealing art lends to her recitations the un- usual force of naturalness, Throughout all varying moods of thought and emotion sbe wears a certain air of disttuction, so charming and, we must add, so rare, upon the stage, that we might confidently predict exceptioual success for her were she to be prevatied upon to exchange the semt-publicity of ‘Recitals’ for the ruder put more important Work of a profes- sional actress, Doubtless our managers might protit- ably discover among the amateurs of fashtonable society in New York many a rich acquisition to thei compantes if they were to seek for latent capacity at home instead of going abroad for artists more er leas worn out—in & word, going farther to fare Worse.
