IAe Battle Described by a Correspondents
h Prussians to get between Metz and
Paris.
New YORK, August ia London cor
, respondent Of the Herald, who was present
! at the battle of Woerth, telegraphs the
4 following from Carlsrhue: -.
The French official accounts of the bat
!; tie Of Woerth are wholly untrue. Marshal
: 6cMahon was completely routed. The
: leaving behind them killed, wounded and
prisoners, numbering 10000 out of the
$4,000 engaged
The French held strong position, but
j the Prussiaus fired with terrible precision.
The French very badly. Both sides fought
desperately, but finally the French gave
away in panic.
The accounts representing that Strasburg
. is still in communication with Nancy, is un-
true. Strasburg has been completely be-
sieged since Monday, and the gates are shut
Heavy artillery is now on the way for
the Pr,Issians. A stout resistance is ex-
rpected.
The Crown Prince of Prussia is vigorously
pushing McMahOn; and another engage
ment is expected. 1t is believed that it is
the object of the Prussians to get between
Metz and Paris.
by Cable to the Associated Press.
PARIS, August 1.-THE Figaro says
physician who has returned from the front
reports that even the Prussians acknowl-
edge the superiority of the French guns.
Nearly all the French soldiers are wounded
in the legs and feet. while in the battle of
WOerth the loss of the Prnssians in killed
and MORALLY wounded was immense, owing
to the longer range of the Chassepot
These facts made q strong impression on
the soldiers. The same gentleman says the
French, who were wounded, were taken by
the Prussians into their ambulances, and
treated with the utmost care and kindness.
The ambulance service of the enemy is per-
fectly organized.

New York, August 8.-The international
yacht race for the Queens Cup came off to-
day. The course was from off New York
Yacht Club House at Stapleton, Staten
Island, past Cony Island point, thence to
Southwest Spit, past Sandy Hook, around
light ships and return, distance of about
forty miles.
The start was made at ll:3l. The Cam
bria, which had been given choice of posi-
ton, unfortunately for her took it close I'M
der the island. The breeze came from the
southwest, instead Of westward, as her
commander, Captain Comstock, had ex-
pected, and she was to the leeward Of the
whole fleet and soon a mile behind the lead
ing yacht. At Southwest Spit the Magic
led, followed by the America, Idler, Syleric,
Dauntless, Phantom, etc, the Cambria be-
ing thirteenth.
Outside Sandy Hook the breeze Stacked
about half, and at the lightship the follow
ing was the order: Magic, Idler, Dauntless,
America, Syleric, Phantom. Madge, Cam
bria, etc.
After rounding the light-siip the Cambria
sent up her fore gatf tOpsails, and almost
Immediately gust Of wind from the south
ward struck her and carried away her fore
top mast. She, however, kept on and passed
the spit, on the return, eighth in line.
The scene in the bay as the yachts neared
uoulc wis "Aiu SutNuSA-
astic. The Magic and Dauntless crossed
the line amid firing Of guns from the attend
ing vessels. screaming of hundred steam
whistles, and the cheers Of thousands of
spectators. A similar greeting awaited the
America, and the arrival Of the Cambria.
with her fore-tOp mast gone, and loss of
hammer, streamer loose in wind, was the
signal for the most vociterOus demonstrations
on every hand. Cheers followed the others.
and the steamer Of the New York Yacht
Club, flying English and American flags and
Royal Harwich and New York Club signals,
moved down to meet the disabled yacht,
with the band playing ''God Save the
Queen" The wind, which had been favor
able during the race, gradually died away.
and the Yachts gathered at anchorage off
the club house, where they anchored for the
night.
The Sappho, just returning from Eng
land, was passed coming up the bay by the
outward bound yachts, and given a scream
ing welcome.
The home stake boat was reached in the
70 order.

A DEFAULTER FOR $500. OOe.
Excitement i'm Financial Circles i'm Balti-
mOre-2O. 600 shares Of Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad stock Hypothecated by
its Late Secretary.

Special Dispatch to the Evening Post.
WASHINGTON, August 5.-There was con-
siderable excitement yesterday in Balti-
more financial circles over a rilmored detal-
cation of one of the officers of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad. Mr.. Crawford.
late Secretary to the company, has used
10000 shares Of the company 5 stock, worth
$500, 900, and borrowed from different per-
sons 100000, hypothecating the stock at
SIS per share as security for loans thus
made.
This sum he has invested partly in the
purchase OF claim upon the general gov
eminent, and partly in mining speculation.
1t was believed that the stock had been
hypOthecated in New York, but it is now
said that this is not the fact-that it has all
or nearly all been hypothetical in Balti-
more. The money raised was upon an over
issue of stock of the Parkersburg branch.
The persons holding the stock will not, it is
thought, be losers. the general impression
being that the company is liable for the
whole issue. The certificates bear the
genuine signatures of the president and sec
rotary OF the company.

King Williams Proclamation TO the
French.
LONDON. August 1.-THE King of Prussia
has issued the following proclamation to
the French
= 1--WE, William, King of Prussia, make
known to all inhabitants of Ferench terri
tory, occupied by the German forces, that
the Emperor Napoleon having, by sea and
land attacked the German nation; eager to
live in peace with the French people, have
taken command of German armies to repel
the aggression, and by military events have
been led to pass French frontiers.
We war against soldiers, not citizens;
therefore the latter may continue secure in
person and property, so long as they alb
Jain from hostile acts. We grant them
protection of their rights.
The Generals commanding corps will de-
eide what measures are necessary in the
usages Of war. They will also regulate
acquisitions necessary to sustain their
troops and fix the difference Of exchange
between German and French currencies, in
order to facilitate the dealings between the
soldiers and the citizens.

WEISSENBURG.

Particulars Of the Death of General
Douay-His Strange Advance Toward
the Enemy Alone-He shoots his Horse
and Marches TO Death.
PARIS, August 1.-THE Monite,r gives
the following account Of the death of Gen
Eral D0uay, at the battle Of Weissenburg:
THE General was from the beginning in
the thickest Of the fight; when he saw the
lay was lost after he had done all he could
TO retrieve it; when not even battalion
was left him, he called his aids one by one,
gave them orders, and sent them
away. As soon as the last one was
gone, the General, squirting his horse
rode some distance to the front, dismonnted,
and taking pistol from the holster, shot
the animal; then turning around, he slowly
walked toward the enemy. His soldiers
vainly tried to stop him amid the terrible
firing, he deliberately walked on. The re-
treating soldiers, aroused by the spectacle,
turned again upon the enemy, but fell in
heaps around their general, who still pressed
forward. Another tremendous discharge
from the enemy, and General Douay, almost
alone, fell dead.

messed here is new in progress, in honor OF
the recent Conservative victory in this
State. The railroads and steamers brought
in hundreds of persons from other counties.
This evening there is a grand iLlumna-
ton, torch-light procession and bonfires.
| The whole city is alive with excitement,
canon firing and display OF fireworks.
Thousands Of persons are in the procession
and on the streets, but good order and feel
ing universally prevails. There are no
notices or devices or transparencies to
give Offense to the defeated party, and
everything is conducted in the most digni-
fed and conciliatory manner. Among the
speakers was Colonel A. NJ. Waddell, Con
sentative Congressman elect from this dis
trict. His speech is considered important,
as fOreshadOwing to some extent the future
policy of the Conservative party with re-
gard to the cOlOred race.
The following is an extract: without
presuming to dictate to others, l will ex-
press the hope that one OF the first acts Of
the next Legislature, which will be largely
Conservative, will be formal declaration
of their intention not to disturb the black
man in the enjoyment Of the rights guaran-
teed to him by law. They will restore if
possible the school fund, of which he in
common with his fellOw-citizens, has been
robbed, and will pay the debt of universal
education which is due from the State not
as unfultilled, but honorably and to the last
farthing of the means at their command.
and that their whole course will exhibit
them as retOrmers, and not as revolution
ists.'

We copy this special from the Cincinnati
Gazette:
LOUISVILLE, August s.-Under new port
of entry bill an appraiser will be appointed
for this port. The Office will pay a salary of
$4,000 per year. Peculiar qualifications,
such as few men in this section of the coun-
try possess, are required. A man who has
sufficient mercantile knowledge to qualify
him for the duties of this new Office, would
be worth more than double the amount of
the salary to anv large mercantile house.
In New York the duties of the Office are di-
vided among about half a dozen men, each
one of whom attends to a particular branch
of business; but here, the appraiser must
have the combined qualifications of the six
New York appraisers at one-sixth of the
salary. But it is not probable that any one
who is thoroughly qualified will be ap-
pointed. There are quite number of candi
dates for the office, among whom are Colo
mel Wake Holman, Captain Robert John
son, OF this city, and General Burbridge.
An architect has been sent here from
Washington to repair and remodel the Gus
tomhouse. He is expected to expend fifteen
thousand dollars, and make a handsome
building Of it. -.
