LONDON, August 15.-[Special to the New
York Tribune. "A correspondent telegraphs
from Luxemburg this afternoon that the line
to Metz is again open. Large parties belong
ing to the society for relieving the wounded
are passing through to the front.
Fighting lasted this morning from foul
O'Clock until nine O'Clock.
A correspondent with the German army
writes, that since the battle at Weissenburg
numbers Of prisoners have been captured
daily. Many also have fed TO the woods and
villages, and are compelled from hunger tC
surrender The country is exhausted, anC
the population almost famished. Even the
German soldiers lacked bread for one day.
The people are bitterly hostile and cruel
Twenty peasants have been shot by court
martial for mutilating and numbering the
wounded.
A member Of the court gives me some par
ticulars. Protestant sisters of charity testified
that one peasant near them hacked wounded
Bavarian to pieces with scythe, and his sol
cut another wounded mans throat. Ever
members Of the sanitary corps, distinguished
by red cross ON white gronnd, were killet
by shots from houses. Great numbers O
troops continue to arrive from all parts Of G Ter
many.
A special correspondent writes from Man
helm on Thursday that, Notwithstanding tn
Germans numerical superiority, preparation
continue without cessation. Military train
are pushing steadily onward, and regiment
pass through here daily. Baden soldiers ar
as enthusiastic as the Prussians.
The second line of the German army is nov
! moving forward to support the first. Unit
! to-day this second line, especially on the lei
: flank, hardly existed, all efforts going t
strengthen the first line. Not until the frs
line was complete did the second begin to tax
position. 1t is now completely formed an
placed, composed almost wholly of Prussia
troops, and is perhaps even better army tina
the first. Trains filled with wounded and pril
= oners are continually arriving.
