The Emperor and Mcmahon are at Cha

PARIS, August 22.-The Prussians are

PARIS, August 22.-Ihe destruction of

The ramparts are fully armed and the

European Geography.

While the war is progressing in Europe,
the attention of every one is drawn to the
geography of the locality of present opera
tions Maps of the region are given in
many journals, and particular towns are
often mentioned. But confusion in regard
to these is quite likely to arise from the
fact that the same place is often mentioned
under different name, or, more frequent-
ly, under different ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
German or French, according as the map
on information has been drawn from one
or the other of these sources. Take an eX-
ample or two Cologne (English,) Colon
French, Koln or Coin German Mentz,
(Englsh,) Mayence (Frcnch,) Mainz Ger
man, not Metz. So also with regard to
Coblentz, Frankfort, and many others.
Then, too, perpleXity may arise from
another source There il often more than
one town of the same name, distinguished
usually by sufiix or descriptive phrase,
but this suffiX is sometimes omitted. Thus
in France are ChalOns-sur-Marne( Chalons
on the river Marne) Chalons-sur-L Lore,
and others. The first of these is nearest
the scene of active operations, ana now
usually referred to. This mode OF distln-
gushing places of the same name Is COM
mon in Europe. Thus, in England, we
have Newcastle-upon-1yn DC,
There are several places commencing
! with Saar spoken of-Saarbruk, Snrloulsi
! sc These are so called from being on the
| river Saar. The final syllable of these and
many other German towns has an etymolo'
| gical Specification, n knowledge of which
often aids To better understanding of the
situation of the place or the reason OF III
original designation. Thus, bruck means
bridgeburg, castle or fortified town
Saarlouis was founded by Louis XIV.
brunn, or broom, means well or fountain
bach, a brook or rivulet; berg, hill o
mountain.-SpriaWield Republican.

Edmund About's Description of the Battle

Edmund About describes the scenes after
the battle OF Woerth as follows: cone sees
solid regiments who proudly retreat, while
n few bad soldiers, disbanded, lost demor-
allied and disarmed, throw themselves des-
perately into each by-path. | arrived Just
in time to stop three wretched Turcos,
mounted on artillery horses as they were
entering an old quarry with the hope of
making short cut from the field. Our ar
tillcry must have been roughly used, 80
many caiSsons passed along the road with
out guns. But here come one or two regi-
ments of the line, quite firm, tolerably
complete in numbers, rifle ON shoulder and
knapsack on back. Behind them Marshal
McMahon calm, dignifcd, almost smiling
and fresh as Il rose. salute him as he
passes. He responds without noticing me.
One of his aides. NJ. Dalzac, names me.
Then the old hero stops and tells me, quite
simply, the story of his defeat thus had
only 5000 men and found 100 900 in front
of me. We have given way before num-
bers. They have killed or wounded about
5000 men, but we shall have a revenge.
Explain this to the public but where are
you going in that direction
" To Saverne,' ] reply.
" You will be captured The Prussians
will Ice there in two llours,n says the Gen
eral.
~ have my wife and children there /
answer.
" God preserve you. Do not fail to say
that the morale of the troops is excellent"
We shake hands / exchange few
pleasant words with NJ. Dalzac, and /
search vaiuly in the ranks of the staff as it
moves on for the laughing and kindly face
of NJ De Vogue, an officer of ordnance.
This fine young man, full of promise, was
killed 10y bullet through the forehead,
and Gen. Caloon with a bullet through the
heart.
Last come, regiment of TurcOs these
fellows have not thrown away their KNAPP
sacks nor their arms. One of the first
comes out of the ranks and clasps me round
the neck. 1t is Albert Dury, a fellow Jour
nalist, and the excellent fellow begins by
telling me:
" | have been to your house it is empty.
All your people are safe but YOU
. /, as you see, am firm as a post. Oh
my poor friends; what a disaster"
" We will repair it though"
He runs off and disappears in the motley
crowd of his comrades.

The following communication is from
the pen of gentleman thoroughly ac-
quainted with the subject Of which he

That good schools enhance the wealth

AMONG the members of the Connec-
-ticut Democratic State Convention,
says the Hartford Times, were several
delegates who have hitherto voted
with the Republicans-men who last
April voted for Jewell-but who de-
clare that they can endure no more of
the destructive Negroism and Central
ization measures of that party. These
are the "surface indications show
ing deep underlying public feeling.
There are great many Republicans
who declare that if the rights of the
States are to be swamped under the
Fifteenth Amendment, and mass of
negroes poured upon the ballot box,
they will no longer vote with party
which resorts to such means for its
salvation.
