AUVERBACH’S GREETING, TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The following special despatch from the pen of the genial and widely celebrated author, Berthold Auerbach, written on the verge of the Black Forest, has been transmitted to us by the Henatp's correspondent at Vienna:— Gznxapacn, in the Black Forest, May 1, 1873, A May greeting sent to the New World from. Gernsbach, in the Black Forest, by Berthold Auerbach! What will be your feelings, my beloved countrymen, when, this Summer, you will come again to Germany to see the Kxhibi- tion? _ Germany is your fatherland ; America is your children's land. You come back, like sons. and daugtera married abroad, to visit their father’s house; you are independent and free, but within your hearts there dwells @ faithful memory, and you will find the old home still beautiful, and you will carry back refréghed souls into the New World, Wel- tome! he was & welooite and kindly touch to my heart when the oditor of thig. paper requested me to gend a German thought from Vienna on this Ist of May. ‘THE OCEAN OF THOUGHT. But Iam prevented from mingling with the crowd and bustle there, and what would a single voice signify there? So much the more happy do I feel to be permitted to send & messnge from a verdant valley of my home. All rivulets on earth Have their course, they sing on the street. Under my window rushes the beautiful Murch (river), driving mills and carrying rafts; she flows into the German Rhine, the Rhine into the ocean, But the Ocean of Thought, into which to-day all is floating—that is, the Exhibition in Vienna ! “Ouckoo!'’ calls the-bird of Spring from shadowy hills, and, “Look, look!" it means when Spring awakes and all germs are bud- ding. Thus, yonder, there in the Exhibition, “ gill germs of the human mind are developed, end, ‘Look! look!’’ is the ory there also. But collect thyself, and realize that this is no outside voice—this is the voice within thee, Try and lay thy finger on the pulso of the present ! ‘THE SYMPHONY OF LABOR. To the great International Exhibition the proofs of ite. indastry, eblence end art; bat | how little: it:seeme im that grand universal collection | ‘Fob it te one sound, one note of the great ermphony. For all that whistling of steam; that digging, boring, hammering, chiselling, down to the hardly audible scratch of the sevant’s pin, down to the inaudible movement ofthe ‘painter's brush, all is one complete symphoxiy—ealled labor. It renews and embellished’ the world! ‘The old legends appear new. ‘THR ARGONAUTS. The Argonauts? Yonder, upon the “beau- tiful blue Danube, "* float swimming mansions ; from Ulm to Vienna they carry hundreds—not of warriors, but of workmen—ond they bring back, not the Golden’ Fleece, bat the inalien- able treasure of rich sights and new energy.

Imagine that om this Ist day of May, at early dawn, aven before a living soul has ap- peared, a man is walking through those halls replete with labor on the banks of the Danube; ®@ man who belongs to. Europe as well as to America. He was: disciple of the German mister Guttenberg, ‘but also, in the life of his mind, a genuine _eelf-made man.” Dare I undertake to recall, Benjamin Franklin? Nearly o centufy-before this day he was to meet the Emperor Francis Jo- seph of Austria, ‘Joseph and Benja- min were brothers,’ sons of one mother, Humanity. Benjamin Franklin, walking through this gigantic collection of labor, thoughtfully, but with a beaming countenance, he stops in front of that apparatus which has made lightning speak, which has caught lightning and made it harmlessly sweep past the peaceful habitatioris of men, and now it speaks over continents and through oceans. MODERN MIRACLES. That is science, that is labor, which nowa- days are working miracles. Since this bas happened the idea of supernatural miracles has become obselete. Onward he paces, and a new devotion, as it were, speaks from his mild features. Here is the age of power con- centrated, where striving and daring lead to the elevation of life. What would the Olym- pian games be contpared with this? THE FORUM OF HUMANITY, How many years of labor, of quiet thought, of devoted energy are here united before the forum of humanity ? And here all nations are measured and judged by the mental labor they have accomplished, by their visible work done to liberate, to elevate and to em- bellish existence, Here is the world’s soul visible to the eye. THE LANGUAGE OF LABOR. It is a wonderful greeting to the workman, the presence of all this this finished york. Tha soul of f the orighnalar speake speaks, to the admirer, fhot only from the written word; nay, also out of the hewn stone, out of iron and wood and all materials. THE GROWTH OF EDUCATION. Onward walks Franklin, and with a feeling of intense joy he contemplates the ingenious and well-considered means invented to in- struct and elevate mankind. Forsooth, here one nation is the tutor of the other; here is the academy of labor, here is the genuine uni- versity in the original signification of the term! DESTRUCTIVE INSTRU MENTS OF WAR. A sense of intense pain clouds his thought- fal brow as he contemplates the improved in- struments invented by man to slay man. ‘When will the creative conquer the destruc- tive genius of mah? When, at last, will eternal peace unite all nations on this ex- panded, beautiful globe? THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER. But as he looks at the Stars and Stripes ho is recalled to a sense of joy, and murmurs to himself words of delight, which he will only openly express at the centennial celebration of the independence of the United States, THE NEW MIGRATION OF NATIONS. At this moment the doors of the Interna- tional Exhibition are thrown open, A now ‘universal labor dawns upon the world.

PEN PICTURES. A MESSAGE OF PEACE TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD, ‘The following special despatch to the New Yorx Hewatp, from the pen of the, brilliant and popular authoress, Mme. Louise Mihl- bach, has been transmitted by our special cor- respondent at Vienna: — ‘Vienna, May 1, 1873. Full of the first grand impression of the world’s spectacle, I greet you, my German sisters on the other side of the wide Atlantic. The proprietor of the Heratp kindly sent me an.invilatjon to Berlin, requesting me to go to Vienna and be present at the opening of the great International Exhibition, so that the German sisters beyond the ocean might, through me, receive the first information con- cerning the accomplishment of the magnifi- cent enterprise. A SPLENDID ACKNOWLEDGMENT. ‘When the Khedive of Egypt. invited me to visit and study his beautifal country, in order to have it pictured to. my German country people, I was-of opinion that no greater dis- tinction, no more flattering acknowledgment of my efforts as.a writer, could ever betendered tome, But this later invitation of the great and powerfal Hznatp appears to me to be a still greater honor. It fills my heart with proud satisfaction and grateful delight. America is the land of grandeur in thought and action; and grand indeed ‘was the idea— truly American—of announging in) various tongues, through the medium of the Hzzap, to America to-morrow, what happens at Vienna to-day—the World's Pair is opened. Heretofore the Hxratp has sent ita messen- gers to the fields of battle to witness the bloody struggles and describe to horrified hu- manity how man slaughters man, and how the life-blood of thousands and tens of thou- sands poured out victory to the one, to the other defeat, - A MESSAGE OF PRACE. To-day, however, the Henatp sends its emissaries to witness a peaceful struggle and report victories ‘which, after the wars have ended, thought and labor have decided. La- bor. and Industry! Ob, that these holy words might be the symbols of a new era about to dawn over the wide world! But you over there in America, you are entitled to the assertion that for a long period you have been marching at the head of civiliza- tion, leading the way to a happier future. SYMBOLS FOR THE FUTURE. With these holy symbols in your hands this day is, above all, a day of victory. Labor has conquered—labor of the mind and of the hand. FREDERICK THE GREAT'S WISH FULFILLED, Frederick the Great, who was aiming to reach a similar goal, had the novel and touch- ingly beautiful idea of erecting a Pantheon around the halls of which the altars of all creeds and religions should stand, and where Mohammedans and Catholics, the fire-wor- shipping Parsee and the cool and sobet Pro- testant should meet together, a all Praying in fianifold tongues, yet ‘all praising the one great God. What Frederick the Great failed to accomplish we see, beyond all expectation, fulfilled to-day—the Pantheon in Vienna is now opened to all peoples, to all nations, what- ever be their religious belief; they come hither to worship in spirit, to serve God, in amply utilizing the talent entrusted to each. ENTER THE CROWNED HEADS. A wonderful sight it was when, amidst the the thunder of cannon and the peals of merry bells, the Emperor Francis Joseph, surrounded by the Crown Princes of Germany, England and Denmark, the Dukes of Oldenburg and Modena, followed by a splendid cortége of princes, counts and barons entered the halls whose doors were to him first thrown open. The air of festive chorus by Handel sweetly soared above the surging mass, and the im- mense multitude of ladies in gorgeous apparel, of gentlemen in uniforms resplendent with gold, or in simple civilian evening dress, ro- ceived with uproarious cheers the gracious Monarch and the long procession of kings, princes and other illustrious guests. It was a scene of surpassing grandeur. APPEARANCE OF THE ASSEMBLAGE. Outside the doors of the building there were standing an innumerable multitude, excited with joy, composed of all nations of the earth, united like brethren, and smiling migration of nations beging. A new ors of in whdisturbed harmony. Each and all) seemed proudly conscious of having a share im this splendor, of having individually con- tributed'te this grand triumph of industry ; and thousands of cheerful faces greeted the princes when they entered this gigantic inter- national structure. AUSTRIA AND GERMANY UNITED. First appeared the Emperor of Austria, who Jed on his arm the Crown Princess of Germany, Crown Prince of Germany,” escorting. ‘the Empress Elizabeth of Austria, took his, seat by the Emperor's side, nodding with gracious amiles ‘to those of the assemblaga known to him, and then, became entirely absorbed in the splendor surrounding him, The Prince of Wales had a slight air. of indifference, while tho Crown Prince of Denmark appeared thoughtful and earnest, OLD’ REMINISCENCES. As I looked toward him I remembered how his grandfather had of yore, on 4 previous occasion, been present at the firat Vienna Congress, calling in vain upon land and sea for sympathy. Disgusted and disappointed, he was preparing to leave the Congress, then in animated session. ‘You are about to leave, my brother?’ said the Emperor Alexander, “You take all hearts with you.’’ “The hearts, perhaps, but not a single soul,” replied the King. on At this second Congress, however, the princes assembled to contemplate, with both body and soul, that which had united the na- tions. They will not take home any more souls, but certainly within their souls grand and mighty impressions which will enable them fully to realize that. the glory of war is far outshone by the inestimable blessings of peace. WOMAN AND PEACE, In order to render this peace permanent each must contribute as much as possible, You.also, my dear ladies of America, you also should strive and work to the utmost of your power for the eternal peace of nations, which is the only true source of universal happiness. ~Come hither and see what blossoms ‘this Spring of peace has already brought forth, and then let all of us do ne best that: this peace, the first glorious manifestation of which is embodied in this World's Fair, ‘may matate the blossom and ripen into blessed fruit. God grant it ! LOUISE MUHLBACH, THE HERALD AND THE VIENNA EXPOSITION, _ [From the Evening Mail, May 2.) UBPARALLELED FEAT OF JOURNALISM. The great Vienna Fair was yesterday formally opened. If any one doubts the fact let him read— if he can—the tmmense mass of despatches, in English and German, which describe | the opening ceremoules, in the HERALD to-day. This recklessly extravagant journal, whose enterprise takes the most “eccentric directions sometimes, is nearly filled with the despatches of Young and Yates in English and of Auerbach and Muhibach in German. Such @ newspaper was never printed before and may not be again—at least we don’t see why even the Herawp should continue to give such a volume of despatches in regard to any exhibition what- ever. It is evident, however, that the correspondents had hard work to fill out the space their descrip- tions were to occupy. There was really not much to describe. The Exhibition is formally open, but it ig in @ chaotic state, and months must elapse be- fore its full glories will be revealed and before its myriad attractions will be so arranged that visit- ors can make profitable study thereof. What it is to be remains to be seen, and until the Istof June at least intelligent criticism will reserve ite verdict. [From the Commercial Advertiser, May 2.) GREAT ENTERPRISE, The extraordinary enterprise of the HERALD in procuring, at great expense, some seven celumns of telegraphic correspondence from Vienna for this day’s paper makes anera in journalism. It is the mostextensive and successful enterprise of the kind ever attempted by any newspaper, and the costly achievement 1s supplemented by the novelty of translating the whole narrative into German, and so furnishing to-day a sheet eagerly read both by Americans and Germang. The HeRaLp lays a leaf from Fatherland before the immense German population of this part of the world. (From the same.) It’s a fortunate thing for the American readers of the HRRALD that their paremts were rich enough toprovide them with German tutors while they “were children, With what mingled emotions they must have gazed upon the columns of that.jeurnal this morning, renewing the dead but unforgotten days when they puckered their little mouths over Ich habe this and Jch habe that, until the study of German seemed to them nothing but a conspiracy we enrich =i Soctore! ING, prom ‘the Newark Journal, May 1.) ‘The HERALD does nothing by halves, It proposes to “do” the Vienna Exposition, which opens to- day, 104 manner most novel and lavishly expén- five, It has secured as special correspondents Edmund Yates, who will write from the English standpoint ; John Russell Young, from an American, and Berthold Auerbach and Louise Muhibach, from German. The stories of the two latter are to be printed in German first and the next day trans- lated into English, All the reports are to be trans- mitted by cable, This will assuredly, as the HzRaLp well remarks to-day, “illustrate, in a striking manner, the perfection to which journalism can be eventually brought under the enterprise of the American press and with the aid of the electric telegraph.’} Such really marvellous enterprise a3 this astonishes even American newspapers and newspaper readers, and as for the novelty aud originality of the idea nothing need be said. cerita PRESIDENT GRANT AT GALENA, GALENA, Il, May 2, 1873. At ten o’clock this morning the Reception Com- mittee called on the President at the residence of LS. Fells, Hon. J, M. Ryan, the chairman, ad- dressed the President, stating that {t was the de- sire of the citizens of Galena to tender him a public reception at his residence, and asking him to name the day it would be most convenient to receive them. The President replied from two to five o’clock to-morrow afternoon. The committee afterwards made a public announcement of the time of the reception, and the President’s old resi- dence has been putin order and decorated for the occasion, A number of gentiomen paid their respects to the President to-day. After the transaction of public business the President spent two or three hours visiting old ac- quaintances, The President had intended making a longer stay Gt Galena, bus delayson the Western trip com- pelled him to shorten his time here.

The city of New York contains within ite bounda- ries a German population of nearly three hundred: and fifty thousand, men, women and children in- cluded. The Germans sre @ reading people, and among them are thousands of highly educated; in- tellectual and artistic men and women, to whom came the news yesterday in the columns of the HERALD, in their own loved Teutonic language, of tbe magnificent passages of Auerbach and the storied sentences of Louise Mithibach, telling of the opening of the great Fair of the Fatherland at Vienna, on the Danube, Such an achicvement had) never before been known in journalism, and ali the city wondered at its success. From. an early hour. of the day until tne night set ip thousands of Ger- mans crowded the ofMices of the HERALD seeking to obtain copies of the paper which contained the splendid telegraphic despatches of Berthold Auerbach and Mme. Muhfbach, Their eager faced and genuine Teutonic enthusiasm made up a pic- ture the like of which has not been equalled in New York since the tidings reached {t of the fall of Fort Sumter, On all the city lines of horse cars it was noticeable that every Gérman bore in hishands a Gopy of the HgRALD, with ich the cleat, bola moe of mF man: anes were printed. Exclamations of astonishment and won- der at the unparaliéled feat in journalism were freely expreased on ali~stdes. ~ In the ferry houses and on the ferryboats and among the officers and crews of the German shipping, in the German ciubs and lagey beer saloons, there was an intense feeling of pride and satisfaction at the enterprise and generous expenditure. of money made bj HERALD to distance all other water as it dia yeateraay. A faost. prominent, wealtily and re- spectable German fellow citizen yesterday in con- Versation said :— THE HERALD 18 THE BISMARCK OF KEWSPAPEBS. In everything it attempts it is successful: Where other papers fail the UsRALD triumpha, and there is no knowledge. at present of what it may do. The Vienns Exposition, as told by the HeBaLp to-day, ise surrender of Sedan to the other New York daily Rewspapers, That is my opinion, and time: will Justify me in what I say. Auerbach is the greatest living intellect in Germany, and Louise Muthibach has no equal as @ historical story telier. Besides there are the English correspondents, Young and Yates, who are unequalled in their lines of writing. OVER THEIR LAGER, In a}l the lager beer saloons in New York, Ho- voken, Staten Island, Brooklyn and those suburban places in which the foamy beverage is recognized and appreciated as a healthful and delicate drink, im every restaurant and garden to which thirsty and hungry Teutons resort, the universal and general topic of conversation and discussion yesterday was the publication of the Germun de- spatches to the New York HeRaLp. A stupendous achievement like that of the HemaLD of yesterday had never before been known. The large class of literary Germans who are to be found in New York discussed with evident interest the fact of so great an amount of money having been expended for cable telegraphic matter end the engagements of such eminent and World-known writers as Louise Mtthibach and Ber- thold Auerbach, as well as the cost of the new and complete font of German type, the excellent dia- gram of the Exposition of Vienna and the various other costly accessories presented yesterday by the HERALD to its million of readers, The editor of the HaRaup instructed his subordi- nates to ascertain the opinions of some of our more principal German citizens in the various profes- sions and occupations pursued by them. The first representative German visited was Major General Frang Sigel, the hero of Wilson’s Creek and of fifty other battles, the leader of the Baden revolution- ary forces in 1848, and at present the incumbent of the responsible position of ea ot bei city of New York. or oF General Franz Sigel and the Herald. The reporter of the HeRALD called at the Hall of Records in the City Hall Park yesterday, and on sending in his card was at once admitted to pri- vate audience with the distinguished military strategist, With laconic tact and precision the scribe stated the object of his visit. General SrozL (loq.)—The accounts in the Hgxacp of the Vienna Exposition this morning are capital. It's simply splendid, and the Germans of New York recognize the fact. It must entail a frightful expense upon the paper to obtain the services of such distinguished writers as Louise Muhibach and Herr Auerbach and to telegraph over all the matter. The practical good sense which the HERALD displays by publishing German news in tne German language is wonderful, and the enter- prise naturally commends itself to all persons of my own nationality. A GREAT CAPTAIN UTTRRS CRITICISM. REPoRTER—What is your unbiassed opinion, Gen- eral, of the merits of our German correspondents? General Siaz1—Miss Mithibach is a historical Novelist Who has won name and fame for herself as @ writer of great ability. She is able to chronicle facts in a most lucid and graphic manger, but she 1s “aketohy” as compared with Auerbach, He isa man of strong impulses, possessed of strong yet very sound opinions, and an ability to present them to his readers in a most acceptable form. Hs i# @ man of philosophic sentiments, well read and a profound thinker. To have secured his services is a feat in itself that the HaRaLD may well be proud of. How well the Germans of America will appre- Giate itis at present apocalyptical, but I am con- vinced will become soon apparent by the vast in- Crease in ite already stupendous circulation. One thing Lam sure of, the H&RALD bas the warmest sympathies of the German people, who are able to appreciate and recognize the services it does them and the compliment it pays them by publishing accounts of their World’s Fair in their national sy AURRBACH’S POWER, RerorTeR—Herr Auerbach has a great name, General Sigzi—I know it; and 9 name, if it isa & good one, goes a long way towards winning the applause of the public. But Auerbach carries Weight with all his writings. He is argumentative and forcible, and can win interest in many sub- Jecte where other, though more digcusHve. ? ‘writers would fail. He iss power in our native land, and all educated Germans know that what- ever ideas, principles and precepts which emanate from his pen are sound, solid and worthy ef cre- dence and consideration, A German Publisher's Optaton of ‘tile Herald. ‘The next visit made by tle Hemaup representa. tive was to the well known book publisher, Mr, Ernat Steiger, who has his place of business at Nes, 20, 22 and % Frankfort street.
