PRUSsIAN GUNS.
The Krupp Cast-Steel Gun, ms Used on the
Prussian Iron-Ciads.

The krupp Cast.steci Gum, as Used ON the
In Prussia all military matters are conducted
with the greatest care, so also the invention of
Mr.. Krupp, of Essen, in Rhenish Prussia, and it
at the Paris Exhibition Mr. Krupp exposed
gun of his own manufacture. This gun, being
made of the finest caststeel, has a weight of
about twenty-five tons, and by this weight
cannot well be adapted to land warfare. But,
for the same reason, it is deemed very practi-
cable for the arming of the iron-clad steamships,
and the following, viz, the King William,
Crown Prince Prince Adalbert, and Arminius,
have each two or four of these heavy guns
on board. 1t is a muzzle-loader, and consists
of five rings superposed, which construction is
calculated to give it an enormous power of re-
sistance, and guarantee it against explosions.
The entire length of the cannon is about twenty
five feet, and at the muZzle it has a diameter of
fifteen inches. The projectile is about four feet
in height and weighs without the lead mantle,
$50 pounds. The Prussian artillery authorities
say that, in giving this enormous piece thirty or
thirty-five pounds of powder, they are certain of
hitting the targets or any other object at a dis
tance of 5000 feet--about one thousand feet
more than any other gun known at present can
do. AS mentioned before, the whole structure
is of the finest cast-steel.
A Prussian NIitrailleuse.
To oppose the French mitrailleuse Of which
the plans and particulars were known in the
Prussian War Office shortly after it had been
invented by the Emperor Napoleon, in the year
much ado at that time, the celebrated inventor
of the needle-gun. Mr.. Dreyse, of Snmmerda,
submitted another gun to the competent autho-
rites. This new invention is said to consist of
q small, handy two-barrelled cannon, throwing
shot at prodigious distance with an accuracy
equaling even that of the famous rife-guns first
used in the italian war in 1859 by the French.
But this invention is kept carefully secret, and
it seems that the Prussan commanders have not
till now thought it advisable to bring it into
practice, as nothing has been mentioned about
1t as yet. So, of course, nothing can be said
about it now, and we must wait for further par
ticulars.
Superiority of the Needle-gun.
The Berlin journals, under the heading of
''The Last Affair" publish the following:-Yes-
terday, at half-past in the morning, the needle
gun furnished new proof of its superiority
over the Chassepot Six sharpshooters of the
18th of the Mecklenburg landwehr stopped, at a
distance of 1900 metres, the whole corps of
Marshal MacMahon, which was debouching
from Sarreguemnes. After a well-sustaued fire
our men, noticing that it was dinner time, sat
down by common accord. During their meal
which lasted about twenty-five minutes they
raw the French bullets fall harmless at their
feet. Not soup-tin was touched, but the object
of this reconnoitring expedition was fully
attained. The six men disappeared.

The ssBoodIo Came, Again.

United States District Court-,Jt,dge CadtoalGder.
This morning, in the United States District
Court, Jacob Stahl was placed upon trial,
charged with being accessory to the doodle
game" practised upon Jacob Zoll, of which
crime Henry Ream had been convicted yester-
day. A jury was empaneiled and sworn, when
his Honor stated that the defendant and Ream
had been indicted jointly for the same offense
the testimony in both cases was the same; and
Ream having been convicted, there was a legal
reason well understood by members of the bar
why Stahl could not be convicted under the
present form of Indictment The jury were
directed to render a verdict of not guilty, which
was accordingly done. The Judge directed that
Stahls bail would be continued until the end of
the present term, when further action might be
taken in the case, possibly in the form of new
indictment.
Fraudulently SecretinE Goods.
In the case of 7. Slater Smith, charged with
fraudulently secreting goods, he having been ad-
judged bankrupt, his Honor was desired to
increase the bail, which he'd been fixed at $25OO.
The Judge said he had no disposition to inter-
tere with the case at present, and would reserve
his decision until Monday.
Several Gases
called and not responded to were continued for
the term and the Court adjourned until to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock.

SANITARY.
The North German sanitary Corps.

The North German SANITARY Corps
A correspondent of the New York Eueninq
Post writes as follows from Frankfort-on-the
Main:-
The Sanitary Corps connected with the North
German army is excelently organized, and it is
probable that never before did any army go out
so well supplied with all the means of science
and humanity for the reliet OF the suffering on
the battle6elds. The Italian war of 1852 when
thousands of men died from sheer neglect on the
battefelds, has taught lesson to Europeans,
and America gave the example how to organize
sanitary measures. One OF the most remarkable
sights is to see, in the tremendous military trains
that are passing hourly to the scene of battle,
one or two wagons entirely occupied by white
hooded sisters, Catholic or Protestant, going
with the regiments to care for the wounded.
Such train is study. First are forty or more
cars filled with horses and men; then a few
cannon and ammunition wagons-all beings aud
weapons of destruction-and closing up with
ambulance wagons and Sisters OF Mercy-agents
of preservation. The sanitary corps of
the army is composed of more than
two thousand legalized physicians-men who
for the most part have been in the wars of 1864
and 1866, and have had great experience. Aid
ing and supporting these come the surgical cory
phea of the German universities, who as con-
sulting general chirurgists are prepared to give
help and counsel wherever required besides
hundreds of medical students, and the voluntary
aid from societies and the inhabitants of the
districts. In regard TO the arrangements of
the field sanitary service the troops are pro-
vided, to every army corps, besides the
regular army physicians and assistant bear
ers of the wounded, Q) three sanitary
detachments, consisting of three officers
and seven physicians, one field apothecary, eight
hospital assistants, and one hundred and fifty
bearers of the wounded; (2) twelve field hospi-
tails, with two ordinary and three assistant ply
sicians and suitable nurse personnel for two hum
dred beds; 90 reserves for hospitals for the
permanent hospitals. All these institutions are
fitted out with the best materials, tried in the
experience of the late wars in Europe and
America. We do not mention here the volun-
tary care of the wounded and sick, which, in
most respects, will resemble that developed in

French advance, lies In a valley through which
runs the river Murg. The defenses of the town
consist of three large forts which command the
surrounding country, and are united by walls.
The southern and western forts, called Leo
pold' and Frederick, are on the left bank of
the Murg; the northern fort, called Louis, on
the right bank, where there is also an intrenched
camp capable of holding twenty-five thousand
men. Rastadt is four miles from the Rhine,
and the Intervening country is covered with
woods so that the fortress could not prevent
an army from crossing at that point. The next
fortress Is Landau, which formerly consisted of
three forts, one to the south, one to the east,
and one to the northwest, separated from the
town by marshes on the banks of the little
river Queich. The southern and eastern forts
have been recently abandoned, and the only
one kept in state of defense is now the
northwestern. The most important and best
situated fortress in this district Is Germersheim,
on the banks of the Rhine. 1t commands con-
siderable stretch of the river on both sides, and
practically closes it to an enemy as far as May
ence and Coblentz. It would greatly facilitate
the advance of troops into the Rhine palatinate,
as two or three bridges might be thrown across
the river, besides the floating bridge which
already exists there under cover OF its guns. 1t
would also form basis of operations for the left
wing of an army posted on the line of the river
Queich. Mayence, one of the most important of
the Rhine fortresses, is commanded by some of
the adjoining hills this has rendered it neces-
sary to multiply the Notifications in the town,
and there is, in consequence, hardly room
enough for large garrison. The whole of the
country between Mayence and Bingen is now
strongly fortified, and between it and the mouth
of the Main (on the opposite bank of the Rhine)
there are three large intrenched camps. AS to
Coblentz, Herr Won Widdern says that it would
require force six times as large as the garrison
to besiege it with any prospect of success An
enemy would probably begin the attack by
opening fire on Fort Alexander from the hill
known as the Kuhkopf, where his troops would
be sheltered by the woods.

Great Battles Between Metz and Verdun-Cen-
hicting Reports Of the ResulIs.

Great Battles Between Metz and verdun-Csn-
hicting Reports of the Results.
Our cable kilograms received at noon to-day
state that great battles have been fought in
the neighborhood of Metz. Official Prussian re-
ports state that the French were attacked on the
line of their retreat towards Verdun, and, after
severe fighting lasting twelve hours, were driven
in upon Metz, in spite of their greatly superior
numbers, the losses on both sides being heavy.
There also comes a telegram from town four
teen miles northwest of Metz which states that
an obstinate struggle occurred yesterday near
Mars-la-Tour, small town about twelve
miles directly west of Metz, and on the din ect
road from that city to Verdun. The report,
which Is unofficial, states that travel
lers report that vast body of Prussians
have been thrown back upon the Moselle. In
view of these unsatisfactory reports the details of
the contest will be awaited with eagerness; but
at present the result of the battle looks as if it
had been decided Prussian victory, as we
would be apt to have reports of a French sue
cess from Paris soon as they could be re-
ceiyed from other points.

Weak spot the German Border-Where
France Might Have Invaded Ghe Enemy's
TeFEifery.
A military work on the Rhine fortresses, by
Herr Won Widdern, is much talked of just now
at Berlin, says the Pail Mall Gazette. The author
says that the Rhine from Basle to the Murg is
not fortified at all. and that the only defense of
South Germany and Austria against French
attack in that direction is the strong fortress of
Ulnl, occupied since 1866 by mixed force Of
Bavarians and Wurtembergers, amounting to
l0,O00 men. This force could Ia case of war be
augmented to 25, 600 men, and %, 600 more could
be stationed in an intrenehed camp within the
walls of the fortress. Rastadt, which, 1t Is ex-
pected, win present formidable obstacle to the

correspondent writes as follows to the New
York Tribune from Berlin:--
The following piece of information, which no
German paper dare publish, / give by way of
illustration of the manner in which military
blHnders are regarded by the authorities. The
colonel of a regiment quartered near Mayence
thought fit few days ago to parade his regi-
ment under a broiling sun, and to make it go
through some difficult movements. The result
was that no less than five soldiers died from
gence of what had happened communicated to
the Colonels superior when an inquiry was
instituted, and the Colonel was deprived
of his command, and was transferred to
Coblentz, there to occupy a subordinate
position. Something of the same kind recently
happened in England. have heard of English
soldiers dying through what appeared TO De the
stupidity, negligence, or inhumanity OF the
commanding officer, yet no one has ever been
punished. The German system has this to re-
commend it, that the soldiers feel assured that
those who treat them badly win not go scot
authorities which English soldiers can hardly be
expected TO do. ~.

THE SITUATION.

Last Nyaht,s Des patches-No Additional Light
The Grand strategical Movement of the
French.
Last nights dispatches throw no light on the
present situation between the Moselle and the
Meuee The journals of Paris are quite as
much in the dark about the recent movements
as we are, the only advices being too confused
to render any explanation possible. The only
news of an official character is that
bulletined by the French Minister of War yes
terday afternoon, to the effect that the proposed
movement of the army is being carried out;
that two divisions of the Prussians who at
tempted to intercept the French march were
repulsed, after a brilliant conflict, on Sunday
night the 14th: and that there had been a seri-
ous engagement on the 10th, near Gravelolle,
small village six miles southwest of Metz, and
two miles west of the Moselle, in which the
French claim to have gained an advantage, but
acknowledge a heavy loss. The move
ment first referred to is probably, as we stated
yesterday, the transfer of the Imperial army
from the line of the Moselle to the line of the
Meuse. Reports speak of a retirement upon
Verdun, and a concentration at Etain,- twelve
miles to the E. N. Z. of that stronghold but
they are too Indefinite to give any clue to the
actual situation. Meanwhile, the Emperor
is actively engaged in organizing the raw
every effort is being made to send them forward
to the front as fast as they are ready for the
field. From London come reports, said to be
confirmed, that the French entered upon the
recent conflict in starving condition, which is
quite likely, because of the merciless manner
in which their communications have been inter-
rupted.
As matters now stand, the Prussians are in
almost undisturbed and unquestioned possession
of the French territory north of Strasburg and
east of the Moselle. The only positions still
claimed to be he held by the French in this Sec
ton are the small fortress of itche, twenty-five
miles southeast of Saarbruck and but five miles
from the Bavaran frontier; and the third-class
fortress of Pfalzburg in the Vosges,
twenty-five miles northwest of Strasburg
and about the same distance southwest
of Bitche. King William, it would appear, re-
CARDS the Prussian occupation of this territory
as likely to continue for some time, and has ac-
cordingly appointed two of his commanders to
act as Governor Generals of Lorraine and Alsace
respectively. The Prussian forces, however,
are only in undisputed possession of the eastern
section of the ancient province of Lorraine and
the northern section of Alsace.

Thursday, Aug. 1S. 1870.

The money market remains in condition
about midway between striDgency and ease, but
the indications all point towards an active and
not well-supplied market towards the close of
the present or the opening of the coming
month. There is very little doing in call loans
though they are still in great favor with ali
classes of lenders. The rates range from to
per cent. on choice pledges, and discounts are
current at 1909 per cent for frst-class names
only.
The gold market is comparatively quiet but
steady, the sales ranging between 116M and III
closing at noon weak at 1862.
Government bonds move rather slowly, but
there is slight advance on portion of the
