THE SIEGE OF STRASBOURG

STRAsEouRG, Sept. 8, via London. The
siege OF Strasbonrg continues with great Wig
or, and the Prussians are making the great
est efforts to secure its reduction -Four
thousand Baden troops are working night
and day in the third line of trenches, quite
near the city and under constant fire from the
detrnccs. Over two thousand citizens have
been killed. The beautiful cathedral which
was used as an observatory, is partly de
stroyed There are now over five hundred
cannon bearing upon the citadel and forty
thousand Baden troops ready to enter as
soon rs the walls are broken Over twenty
thousand refugees are within the walls suf-
lerng all the terrors Of bombardment. The
Notifications are slowly burning. The Ger
mans captured have their heads cut off and
stuck on poles. Hundreds of Germans ex-
PEELED have been killed between the fires of
the two parties. The city is in flames in
twenty different places, and the rabble are
pillaging the houses and making destruc-
ton Of everything they can lay hold of.
There are daily thunder storms and the Rhine
has risen, driving the inhabitants from the
cellars. The people are lighting for places
in the sewers To escape destruction from the
shells, which are poured by hundreds into
the streets. Six hundred citizens were
buried by the falling OF buildings. Horse
flesh is the only meat to be obtained in the
city, and the inhabitants are on the verge of
starvation. Awful scenes arc witnessed
Many have been killed in bed and the com
mander shoots at once all who talk of sur
render. The mob is rioting nightly and de-
mandng surrender. The city has not fired
gun since the 9th. 1t is under fire from three
sides. The sluices which furnished the city
with water are destroyed, thereby adding
to the sutlerings of the people. 1t is known
that there are two hundred thousand Chasse-
pots stored in Strasbourg. The immediate
surrender of the city is predicted There
are only seven thousand regular troops now
in the city

THE BANGOR WING AND MFR. EMERY.

The bniercst dose that was ever swallow
ed by any newspaper since the invention OF
printing, went down the gulct of the Ban
gor Wing on Tuesday morning, in the shape
of its record of the vote Of that city. For
weeks the columns of that paper had been
surchargcd with venom directed against
Marcellus Emery, Esq, the Democratic NOM
nee for Congress. One Of the a,icles which
it kept standing, and reproduced from day to
day, had this paragraph.
The political insanity If the editor ofthe Demo-
Gratis has assumed new phase. He has become so
elaed over his nomination rs to lose his identity, and
he actually accuses us ofbeng ;ufad that the Re
publicans viii want him to represent them in Con-
gress.
Imagine Republicon voting for M.RCET LUIS
EMERY.
The dose which the Wing took in its cleo
ton returns was this

We hope the Wing VII find time, by and

Leans dill vote for Emery, or this Hooking to
his standard is the result of genuine CONVEX
sions to Democracy His insanity appears
to be catching.

AT + 80 there arose a sudden cry among
the members Of the Kings statf-"Der
Kaiser iSt da and then came a loud
hnrrah Soon we began to look anxiously
for the arrival of the second flag of truce
In ten minutes more Gen. Reilly rode up
with II letter for the King of Prussia
THE EMpEEOH's SURRENDER
As soon rs the French General was in
ght, the slender escort OF curassers and
dragons we had with rs was drawn up in
line, two deep. Behind the King, in front
of the escort, was the Staff; and ten yards
iii front of them again, stood His Majesty,
King William of Prussia, ready to receive
Gen. Reilly. That officer, as we soon learn
ed, was the bearer of an autograph letter
from the Emperor Napoleon to KING William.
The Emperor of the French wrote Gas !
cannot die at the head of my army, / lay my
sword at the feet of your Majesty"
Why Napoleon iii. could not die, as did
thousand of his soldiers, sword in hand,
with his face to the foe, is not so clear
On receipt of this most astounding letter,
there was a brief consultation between the
King, the Crown Prince, who had come over
from his hill on the arrival of the flag OF
truce, Count Bismarck, Gen. Won Moltke,
and Gen. Won Room. After a few minutes
conversation, the King sat down on rush
bottomed chair, and wrote note Con
another chair held as table by two aides
de-camp) to The Emperor, asking him to
come next morning to the King of Prussian s
headquarters at Vendresse.
SHERIDAN CONGRATULArEs BISMARCK
While the King was writing this note
Count Bismarck came up to Gems. Sheridan
and Forsyth, and myself, and heartily shook
our hands. 'Let me congratulate YOU most
sincerely, Count" said Gen. Sheridan. I
can only compare the surrender of Napoleon
to that of Gen Lee at Arpomattox Court
House."
