OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is never 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original issue, its condition at the time of microfilming, the level of detail captured by the microfilm scanner, and the quality of the OCR software. Issues with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts, or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.

Early Monday morning they were awakened by cannon shot. -Bushing out of their tents they beheld shells falling all about their encampment. The escort mounted, and | instantly the Emperor tumbled into his carriage in the utmost haste. Meanwhile the Prussian reconnoissance, which had caused this alarm, was easily driven back, and the imperial carriages, surrounded bv a strong escort, made their way through Gravelotfe towards Conllnus ; thence next morning from Conflaus to Verdun. The escort was without food, except what they could glean by the way, from M?<tz untU Verdun was reached. . Now comes the .most curious part of the account of this retreat or flight of the Emperor, which was made through the very midst of the Prussian army then lying about Mars la Tour, where the next battle was to occur. The Emperor nor his escort had no notion what peril they run until afterwards, but they had actually passed during the night through just the edge of the Prussian lines. ? Trilrune Special. THE ORLEANS PRINCES. A special correspondent from Brussels on Saturday says : I learn from trustworthy sources that General Trochu intends shortly to invite the Orleans princes to share in the defence of their country. REACTION IN GERMANY. The appalling Prussian losses have sent a thrill of horror throughout Germany, and recruits are only to DC had from among country people, and workingmen, nearly all of whom are raw. Bazaitie professes to be master of the situation. [Paris telegram, we suppose.] TEE DEMANDS OF PRUSSIA. The following statement, from a semiofficial source, foreshadows the demands likely to be made by Prussia in case of a successful termination of the war : "The time has arrived when Germany must be free from French interference and menaces, and have a long period of unbroken peace. A mere change of dynasty in France would not be sufficient to insure this, for the next sovereign would seek as soon as possible to recover the lost military prestige of France, and the burthens of armed peace would be perpetuated. Suppose France issues from the struggle with strength unimpaired, and with her strongholds (whence she menaces the valley of the lthine and the Palatinate) intact, the war from which the incapacity of the, French generals and the bravery of the German army have delivered will be renewed. There can be no trustworthy peace. Not thus must this costly struggle terminate. We will only resign our arms when we have guaranteed security against a fresh contest whenever it may suit the political necessities of a French ruler to renew it."

REORGANIZATION OF THE GERMAN FORCES. Berlin, August 23.? The German forces in France have undergone partial reorganization, and, as reinforced and re-distribu-ted, will go into battle in the following order : First army, under General Steinmetz, is composed of the First, Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Prussian army corps, amounting in all to 100.000 infantry and 28,000 cavalry. The second army, under Prince Frederick Charles, is composed of the Second, Third, Fourth, Tenth, and Twelfth Prussian army corps ; corps of Prussian Guards Koyal, Saxon corps, and a division of the, Grand Ducliy of llcsse. This is the strongest of the three armies. It contains fortyeight regiments of infantry with three batteries of artillery each, and four regiments of infantry with two batteries each, and thirty-lour regiments, two batteries each, and thirty-four regiments of cavalry. Aggregate iii round numbers, 220,000 men and 600 guns. The third army corps, commanded by the Crown Prince, is composed of two Bavarian army corps under Generals Taun and Hartman, containing each eight regiments of infantry, live battalions of riflemen, and live regiments* of cavalry, one mixed corps of Baden and Wurtemburg troops, commanded by (General Von Werder, and consisting of eight regiments of infantry, two battalions of riflemen, four regiments of cavalry, and nine batteries of artillery belonging to Wurtemburg, and six regiments of infantry, three of cavalry, and eight batteries of "artilkry belonging to Baden ; also the fifth and eleventh Prussian army corps, containing sixteen ininto sixteen army eorps. THE LANDWEHR. Up to this time 300,000 landwehr have entered Al<ace and Lorraine to invest and occupy pi. ices in the rear and relieve regular j soldiers of those duties, so that they may 'join their own regiments in front. Orders ! have been issued to disband the veteran rej serves, which were called out at the commencement of the war. HOHENZOLLERN AGAIN. 3J.\drid, August 23.? The successes of the Prussian armies have caused a revival : of the question of the llohcnzollern candi1 dature. There are rumors that General j l'riui is inlavor of submitting the subject to ; the people by means of a plebiscitum. WHO ARE FIGHTING IN THE PRUSSIAN ARMY. The demands of the war on the German population are thus stated by a correspondent : " One requires to be in Germany to have brought home to one the lull practical working of a system that so sharply, without distinction of persons, gathers in all alike to compulsory service. The result is that at present in Prussia all men between twenty and thirty, uot disabled or for special reasons otherwise employed, are in the field. It is painfully impressive to see the deserted aspect of German, cities. Who does not remember the busy crowds in the narrow streets of Cologne ? Now they are | dead and noiseless, with none hut boys and old men to share their space with women. What I saw in Cologne I also saw in other towns. Everywhere the thews and sinews of the male population are gone to the war, and everywhere 1 found they did so with admirable readiness. 01 course such a wholesale summoning to arms strikes heavily, uot merely individual existences, but also the country, through the incalculable disturbance it creates- in industrial establishments. 1 have one instance to hand which is well calculated to exemplify this public loss. It is known to every one what an enormous foundry is that of *M. Krupp, at Essen, in Khenish Prussia., Nearly 8,000 workmen are employed in it, and I am informed on unexceptionable authority that of these no fewer than 1.488 have had to join their colors, to the indescribable loss of the foundiy, as ithese men comprised the skilled and absolutely indispensable artisans ; and yet there is no murmuring and no repining among the Prussian populations at what is being imposed on them." 1 Our own decided and unshakable conviction is, and has been for some time, that Louis Napoleon will ultimately prove the victor? if he don't get beaten, which now seems exceedingly probable.?

tie of Woerth, or, as It is called by the } French, Freichsweiller : j "Savbbne, August 7, 1870. ''Sire,? I have the honor to acquaint your Maiesty that on the 6th of August, after haviog been obliged to evacuate "Weissenbourg on the previous evening, the first corps, with the object of covering the railway from Strasbourg to Bitsche and the principal roads connecting the eastern and the western slopes of the Vosges, occupied the following positions : The first division was placed, its right in advance of Freichsweiller and its left in the direction of Reichshoffen, resting upon a wood ? which covers that village. Two companies were detached to Neunviiler and one company to Joegersthal. The third division occupied with the first brigade some low hills which run from Freichsweiller ^nd slopes toward Guersdorft'. Th> Becond brigade rented its left on Freichsweiller and its right on the village oft Elsasshausen. The fourth brigade formed an uneven line to the right of the third division, its first brigade facing toward Gunstedt and its second brigade opposite the . village of Marsbroun, which, on account of insufficient strength, it was unable to occupy. The division dumesnil of the seventh corps, which had rallied to me early on the morning of the 6th, was placed in rear of the fourth division. There were, held in reserve the second division, in rear of the second brigade of the third division and the first brigade of the fourth division. Finally, still further in the rear, was the brigade oi light cavalry, under the command of General Septeuil, and division of cuirassieurs, under General de Bonnemain. .Michel's cavalry brigade, under the command of General Dechesnes, was stationed in the rear of the right wing of the fourth division. At 7 o'clock in the morning the enemy appeared before the heights of Guersdorff, and opened the action with a cannonade, which he immediately supported with a sustained fire from his tiarilleurs upon the first and third divisions. The attack was so vehement that the first division was obliged to effect a change of front, advancing upon its right wing, in order to prevent the enemy from turning the general position. A* little later the enemy largely increased the number of his batteries, and opened fire upon the other position which we occupied upon the right bank of the Sauerbach. Although even more heavy and more strongly marked than the first, which was still maintained, this second demonstration was but a feigned attack, which was warmly repulsed. Toward noon the enemy directed his attack toward our right. Clouds of sharpshooters, supported by considerable masses of infantry, and protected "by upward of sixty pieces of artillery placed upon the heights of Gunstedt, rushed upon the second division and upon the second brigade of the third division, which occupied the village of Elsasshausen. Despite repeated offensive movements vigorously executed, and notwithstanding the well-directed fire ot the artillery and several brilliant cavalry charges, our right was broken after many hours' obstinate resistance. It was 4 o'clock. I ordered a retreat. It was protected by the First and Second, which presented a* bold front, and enabled the other troops to retire without being too closely harassed. The retreat was effected upon Saverne l?y Xiederbronn, when the division of General Guyot de Lespard, belonging to the Filth corps, which had just arrived there, took up position, and did not withdraw until nightfall. I submit enclosed with this report to his Majesty (he names of officers wounded, killed, or missing, which have been reported to me. This list is incomplete, and I will forward a complete return as soon as I shall be in position to do so. MacMahon." Ancient and Modern "Wabs. ? A correspondent of a northern journal writing from Paris gives a comparison between the losses of armies in the battles of the first empire with those resulting from engagements where improved firearms have been employed, which, it is held, will show humanitarians that the old buck-and-ball cartridges, fired from " Brown Bess," were much more deadly than rifled cannon, needle guns, and chassepots. Annexed are the figures : Sadowa? 4<>0,0()0 men engaged ; 33,000 killed and wounded ; about 8 per cent, Marengo? 58,000 combatants ; number of killed and wounded, .13,000? that is, nearly 25 per cent. Austerlitz? Loss, 23,000 out of 170,000; over 13 per cent. Jena? 24,000 out of 280.000 combatants ; nearly 9 per cent. Boroaino ? 80,000 killed and wouuded out of 250,000 engaged ; about 32 per cent. Leipzig? 50,000 out of 450,000 ; between 11 and 12 per cent. At Magenta the French lost 9 per cent, and the Austrians 10 per cent, of their forces. At Solferino, where the French alone used rifled cannon, their loss amounted to 13 per ceut., while the Austrians lost but 11 per cent. The correspondent might have gone still farther back, to the wars of Frederick the Great, who lost at Kolin 12,000 out of 18,000, and at Kunersdorf 17,000 men out of 30,000? two-thirds in one case and more than half in the other. If we go back to a period long before the inventionof firearms, we shall find the slaughter far transcending any effected by the present engines of destruction. Wiien the Roman legions hurled their heavy spears upon their enemies at twelve paces, and then closed in with their swords, there was an aggregate of slaughter effected of which modern times have no conception. Ancient wars, in their hand-to-hand encounters, were a more severe teat of manhood than the modern, where machinery is so much used, and where coming to close quarters is so unusual that, in regard to one of the battles of the present war, a correspondent says, admiringly, th:it there was 4 4 almost a hand-to-hand encounter." It is a pity that battles could - not be fought altogether by machinery instead of men. "War is not only in general a great evil and wrong to humanity, but as now conducted it is not even a test of the comparative valor of the contestants, as generalship and improved weapons decide the day. As to any vindication which they offer of justice, history E roves that in nine cases out of ten Might as prevailed irrespective of Right. An IixiNois Fabjieb.?

An affray occurred at Carter's Bridge, in the lower end of Henrico, within a fewmiles of the Charles City line, which resulted in the fatal wounding of Isaac P. Mayo by a knife in the hands of one Milton Ladd. The primary cause of the quarrel was a misunderstanding about the rent of some land. On Sunday last the parties met at church, and Mavo toM-Ladd that -he wanted him to come down on > Monday to Haxall's store and they would then see who had lied. After meeting tbere they went to Carter's Bridge, about half a mile distant, and while discussing the matter Ladd called Mayo a " damned liar," whereupon Mayo knocked him down, and not knowing that he was armed, waited for him to recover himself. Ladd sprang up and with a pocket-knife stabbed his opponent three times, inflicting a slight wound on the leftside of. the neck, another immediately over the left nipple, and still another and the fatal one in the left side, about an inch long, and penetrating the abdomen between the eleventh and twelfth ribs. Internal hemorrhage ensued, and 3Ir. Mayo, gradually sinking, died at half-past 12 o'clock yesterday morning. -. . The deceased, after he was stabbed, walked fromlhe bridge to the store, bleeding profusely, and was soon in sucn a condition as to prevent his removal to his father's place, at Turkey Island, a distance of three miles. Ladd immediately went to Justice Guy and gave himself up, but that officer advised him to remain at heme and await further developments. Mr. Mavo was a son of Mr. James E. Mayo, a gentleman well known and widely connected in this section, and was just twenty-two years of age. An inquest was held yesterday afternoon, but the verdict has not yet transpired.

The Haunstein Forgeby Case? Mb. Bowden Sent on fob Indictment.? The continued case of 'l'homas R. Bowden, charged with complicity in the Haunstein former}- case, or, more properly speaking, with conspiracy to defraud the State, was called before Police Justice White at his office yesterday. 3Ir."J. B. Young, counsel for Johnson H. Sands, one of the parties indicted' for the Haunstein forgery, ' stated that his client (Mr.* Sands) was in attendance upon the Police Justice in obedience to a subpcnna issued by him to appear as a witness for the Commonwealth against Thomas R. Bowden. He made this statement in order that the position of Mi*. Sands might be understood. Mr. Sands having taken his place on the witness' stand, the Justice stated that he should examine no more witnesses on behalf of the Commonwealth. Mr. Sands thereupon withdrew. Governor Wise then asked for the discharge of his client (Mr. Bowden), and urged at "some length the reasons for the motion. -R' The Justice declined to grant the motion for discharge, and the accused was sent on for indictment at the next term of the Hustings Court. He gave bail in the sum of ?3,000 for his appearance, his brother, L. J. Bowden, becoming his security. ; The Augusta Horse-Thieves.? George Johnson and George Walton,- who were ar* rested by Captain Epps on Tuesday as horse-thieves, appeared before the Police Court yesterday, but the charges against them were not examined, owing to the absence of the most important witness, the owner of the stolen horses. The case was continued until Tuesday, but Mr. Absalom Poiner, of Augusta, the witness in question, arrived in town last night. We learn that he fully identities the horses as his property.

_V * * RICHMOND, VA., August 24, 1870. i To the Editor 8 of the Dispatch: Our attention has b(jen called to o commuuicatlon in your paper this morning, signed "A Suffering Observer," which does a good many hardworking and industrious persona most gross Injustice.

Farmers are neither importuned, pressed, nor forced; to sell their provisions to a band of defiant violators, nor to any one else, should th?y not choose so to do. On the contrary, thos? whq bring stuff from the country are not only willing but anxious to dispose of their produce in a lump? whereby they save both time and expense ; aud, In fact, the defiant violators (so exiled) are those who arc importuned aud pressed to buy articles upon which tney very frequently suffer great loss ; aud this, too, for the benefit aud lu behalf of our citizens ; for the public well know that there never has been a season during which produce was 6old at lower or more reasonable rmtes than the present one, and every candid person will admit that If our citizens hud depended upon the country peo plef jr their supplies during the last fall and winter I heir chan"e3 would have been precarious indeed.
