barduent by the Germans.

BERLIN, September 20-Midnight.-
The following information has just been
received in the city from the front: On
Sunday night the Prusslan forces sur
rounding the city Of Toul began fur!-
ous bombardment Of the French posi-:
ton. An incessant fire was-continued
throughout the night and on Monday.
Many breaches were made IN the walls
of the city, and a great many buildings
burned by the well directed artiIler!
fire of the Prussians. On Tuesday
morning the Prussians were preparing
10 renew the bombardment with the
greatest vigor, when a note was received
from the French commander by flag
of truce, offering the unconditional sur,
render OF the city and garrison. The
offer to capitulate was promptly accept
ed, and the city Of Toul is now occupied
by the Prussian troops.

The French Defeat Fifty Thousand
Prussians at Wilson's, Drive Them
Five Miles and Keep the Orleans
Road Clear.
Special TO the World.l

LONDON, September 20.-The Prus-
slams sustained a very severe check
Yesterday, in their third attempt to cut
the line of the Orleans railroad. After
their repulses at Juvisy and before the
fort of fvry, they yesterday undertook
to force passage and to secure control
of the line. They were met In their
advance from Corbeil. upon the main
trunk of the Orleans line, at the hamlet
of Wilson's a village commanded 10y
low hills and buried in the woods, by
the French. A Prussian column OF
thirty thousand men was encountered
by French force of about equal num-
bers posted in most advantageous
position and with formidable artillery.
The engagement was extremely severe
and lasted nearly six hours. A fresh
column of nearly twenty thousand
Prussians came up after the battle had
zone on three hours and attempted,
bv flank movement, to enter the
woods. The slaughter here was fear
full Masked batteries Of French NIT
railleurs kept up so terrible fire that
the cavalry and infantry OF the Prus-
slams were edecimated and repulsed along
the whole line. They finally fell back
in disorder, hotly pursued by the French
who cut of their retreat upon Corbeli
and Essorne, and drove them down the
main line of the Orleans road more than
three miles through Savigny and Eper-
nav Sur Orge, and back about a mile
and half upon the village OF Montin-
erry, where fierce stand was made In
the Burgundian Cemetery. The Prus-
slams were here routed and driven IN
disorder back to the wood, their
main body being compelled to evacuate
Corbeil at the. same time and reconcen-
trate upon Melun.
This victory clears for the present the
Orleans line, which is the only COM
mHnication between Paris and the pro
vinces. Flying parties Of Prusslsns
have succeeded in cutting all the other
roads at points more or less remote from
Paris, and in every case they caused a
proclamation in the French Language
to be distributed, announcing death &c
all working parties attempting to repari
the mischief done.

WASHINGTON,
Solicitor General Of the Uni
rse. ted States.
Democratic Statement Of Re-
ductiOns Of Taxes.
The Population Of Washing.
+ e.. ton City.

WASHINGTON, September 22.-Now
that it is definitely known that Senator
Williams will not return to the Senate,
it is said that the President will tender
him the position OF Solicitor General OF
the United States. This office, with a
salary of $1,000 a year, was created
during the last session Of Congress, but
has never been filed.
A very formidable effort is making to
have the President revoke the appoint
mept of Vice Admiral Rowan. Numer-
GUS charges have been made against
him, which tend to show that his pro-
motion was not within the spirit of the
law. If the President fails to recognize
the charges, they will be made to the
Senate, with view to Rowans rejec-
ton.
A letter was read here today from
Judge Orth saying there is no truth in
the report that he has been rendered
the mission to England.
A report comes from Georgia that
Attorney-General Alderman is in very
poor health and it is thought he con-
templates resigning his position.
The Freedmen's Bureau in the South
has been closed except the educational
branches, and all the clerks, aids and
officers discharged except those whose
duties relate to the payment of boun-
ties.
WASHINGTON, September 22.-Hon.
Samuel Randall, Chairman Of the Ma
tional Democratic Congressional COM
mittee, having called on Hon. James
Brooks, as member of the Wavs and
Means committee, toreply to the redue-
tion of taxes in the circular issued by
Hon. Henry Wilson, as Chairman OF
the Republican committee, he has pub
lished that reply. Mr.. Brooks states
the reduction is not as much by thirty
or forty millions as the Democrats
would have made if in power; that
what reductions have been made in
tariff has been in interest of capital
rather than labor, and that the Senator
of Massachusetts may well he content
with it, while the west and south cant
be, as reductions will be made III capi-
tai interest of Massachusetts,. These
allegations are fortified by statistical
tables. Mr.. Wilson will doubtless re-
ply.
The District Attorney of Philadel-
phia has been instructed from the Treas
ury Department to appeal all cases in
volved in the recent decision OF Judge
Strong, to the Supreme Court Of the

In reference 70 the Cullom Bill excitement

who stated that he found II was time, at

lowing report: Brigham Young reached

City. He delivered flaming speech In
which he urged them to be united and they
would triumph over oil their foes, circum.
vent or destroy the enemies of .Zion,' and

Rockwell . night or two before his depar.
ture, and that the latter abrubtly asked him
how long hs intended to stop in tho city.
On his replying, but few days. Porter
advised him to shorten the time, and added:
There's i've men here that's got to 60 the

breasts. Aud there's some I'll make burn
