THE W A Il.

suspension Of active hostitics has, ii not
actually declared, virtually existed between the
troops Of the French and Prussian armies, since
the battle of llagcnau, tor as it is now called
Wocrih), until Sunday last. Neither party has
seemed quite willing to resume offensive opera
tons, nor is it so much 10 be wondered at, when
We think Of the full extent Of the casualties Of
this last named battle
Fighting began, however, ON Sunday in the
neighborhood Of Metz \ battle Of some magni-
tude was fought that day, the First and Seventh
Corps participating on the side Of the prussans,
and the corps Of Generals L'Admimult and De
Cacn on that Of the French The loss was heavy.
As TO the result, we have two dispatches, one
from King William to the Queen Of Prussia.
dated " in the vicinity of Metz, Sunday evening,
simply claiming victory the other from the
Emperor Napoleon 10 the Empress, dated =" Long
vile, Sunday, p. NJ, giving details Of bat
tie, in which the Prussans attacked with grea,
force, and after fight Of four hours were re-
pulsed with great loss Subsequent dispatches,
however, confirm the success Of the prussians,
Late on Monday afternoon the first and seventh
Prussian army corps attacked the French forces
under the walls Of Metz, and a sanguinary con
lict ensucd. The French were at length driven
within the city, with a loss Of 1000 men
On the same day a grand reconnaissance, under
King William in person, maintained itself some
hours within the lines of the French delenccs,
without any effort on the part of the French 10
dislodge them. This fact shows the utter de-
moraliation of the French.
decisive battle is expected shortly
An important circular has just been issued by
Count Bismarck, in which he announces that
Prussia does not seek territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
nor did she enter the conflict with the object Of
extending her boundaries. She will leave to the
four South German states their full autonomy,
guaranteeing its preservation, and will never take
the initiative in inducing them to enter the con-
federation Of North Germany Prussia, he says,
has no intention Of extending her seaboard to the
prejudice Of Holland, and after the successful
issue of the war, will recompcnsc Denmark for
her neutrality The immediate occasion of this
Circular is, no doubt, the questionable attitude
Of Russia and Austria, in view Of the rapid con-
quests made by Prussia, and natural desire on
the part Of Bismarck to keep Holland and Den
mark from giving aid and comfort to the French
fleets.

Warden OF CONNECTICUT STATE PRIsoN Muir
pEREp BY \ CoNyIcT.-Cupt. Willard, Warden
of the State Prison at Weathersfeld, Conn, was
stabbed Sunday Afternoon, by a convict named
james Wilson, from the elects Of which he died
in the evening. Wilson had been put into cell
for six weeks close confinement for making an
effort to escape from the prison About two o.
clock yesterday afternoon, he called Capt. Wilard
to his cell to see what he (Wilson) had written
upon his slate, Capt, Willard was reading the
slate, standing in front Of the cell. when Wilson
reached his cane through the bars, having preyi-
ously tied the blade Of shoe knife to the end of
his cane, and stabbed him in the abdomen, in
actnga wound which caused the Wardens death
in a few hours. Capt, W Hard was able 10 reach
his room, but died from Inflammation, and loss of
blood, at about O'Clock The murderer, Wilson,
was sentenced last October to prison for sixteen
years for burglary in dry goods store in Hart
ford. lie attempted to escape from prison about
six weeks ago, but was detected and has since
been closely confined. lie was a cripple, having
several years ago escaped from a Michigan State
prison in cold weather, and irozo of both feet.
He was allowed cane to walk with, which ac-
counts for his having it in the cell at the time OF
the murder. How he obtained the knife is a
mystery.
Capt. Willard had been Warden of the prison
for about eight years. lie had expressed fears of
his life from the hands of Wilson The latter had
been stubborn and ugly since his confinement,
and Capt. Willard had informed his friends that
Wilson was the only man he feared Wilson on
: 4 A. Z. l.. tI.ak -
would he fun before another sun went down.
Captain Willard was universally esteemed and
respected wherever known, and his death cast a
