New YORK, August GA special to tho
New York Sat,,, dated Arlon via Brussels,
August 49, SAYS, the Prussians are making
a flank movement on Mcmahon. McMahOn
occupies the line from Rethel to Stenay,
leaning on Mezieres, Sedan and Montmedy,
with the Belgian army behind.
The Prussians, who were marching on
Paris, deployed from Stenay to Troyes, have
changed their direction. Instead OF going
west are going north
Those troops which arrived at Tr0yes arc
directed to march in the direction Of Rom
illv: those around Chalons, in the direction
of Suippes: those between Stenay and
Vareunes, in the direction OF Bethel by
Grand Prize and Vouzieres, while a strong
force is at Dun, observing McMah0n's left
at Stenay; meanwhile strong Prussian col
umns are advancing from Luneville and
Joinville to ST. Dizier, where King William
was reported to be yesterday.
1t is the manifest intention of the Frus'
slams to destroy Mcmahon as they destroyed
Bazaine, then turn their attention to Paris
A great battle will certainly occur soon be-
tween Rethel and Montmedy.
The Su,. does not believe the dispatch
from Rethel that MeMahOn and Bazaine are
in communication.

SENSATION STORY SPOILED.
The Dry Tortugas COnfederates.

The Dry TOrtugas COnfederates'
A remarkable sensation has been gong
the rounds of the press, which originated
with the Abingdon Virginian. 1t was a
statement made on the authority OF one
Edward Parker, representing himself as a
lieutenant in Captain Kelly's company n,
Fortieth North Carolina regiment, who
says he was taken prisoner at Chlckamauga,
June 12, 1862, sent from thence to Camp
Chase and from thence to Dry Tortugas,
where he was confined as prisoner OF war
He further states that there are three thou
sand men on the island, who have no means
to pay their passage, and no way to make
money to do SO, notwithstanding they were
released at the close of the war.
Parker asserts that he worked over five
years at fifty cents month, and saved
thirty-six dollars and fifty cents, with which
he paid his fare to New Orleans, and that he
walked since the seventh of June from here
to Virginia. He asserts that the only means
OF support of these three thousand released
prisoners Of war. is derived from working on
the levees ut fifty cents month, and by
begging.
1t SO happens, we understand, that there
are no levees at Dry Tortugas, and that
hardly shovelful of earth could be scraped
together on the whole island out Of which
to throw up a levee.
He mentions that among those whom he
left at Dry Tortugas, he remembers the
names of James Grady, Thomas w. Stinsen,
William Stinson and George Taylor, of
Washington county; Thomas Carter and
Jesse Carter, OF Russell; John Black and
William Black, Of Scott; James Higgin-
botham, Thomas w. May, Jesse T. May and
William A. May, OF Tazewell county.
Mr.. Tomlinson, now acting corresponding
clerk at the New Orleans Customhouse, was
in Georgia while General Meade commanded
that military department, and being then
connected with military headquarters, he
recognizes the names mentioned by the re-
doubtable Parker as the names of Georgians,
who were tried by military commission for
rape, murder, malfcasance in office and
other offenses, and convicted and sentenced
to Dry Tortugas for various terms no! yet
yet expired.
Parker was probably sentenced to Dry
Tortugas for some crime, and he is right III
declaring that his fellow prisoners had no
means of paying their passage from the
island and no way to make money enough
to do So He might have added that they
could not get away if they had the me- oney.
