THE BATTLES ON THE BELGIAN FRONTIER.
No further trustworthy or intelligent details
of the battle of Beaumont have come to hand
direct from the field since our issue of yester-
day, nor are the reports of subsequent opera
lions full and satisfactory. Numerous reports
from correspondents stationed at points remote
from the scene of the conf1ict-in Belgium,
Luxembourg, and at Berlin and Paris-have
been forwarded, but these serve rather
to confuse than to explain the
previous meager dispatches. Enough can be
gathered from them however, to establish
beyond doubt the success which was claimed
for the Prussian arms. 1t may prove only a
tactical advantage, decisive only of the COM
bat reported at Beaumont, and MacMahOn
may possibly succeed in his mysterious design
and incomprehensible strategy, but at present
he appears to be engaged in what looks to be
a precipitate and forced retreat.
From all we can gather of the facts, as in
dicated in present and previous dispatches,
we conclude that the battle of Beaumont was
but an incident-an important one, however,
of extensive operations on both banks of the
Meuse. The nature of these operations is also
indicated and the movements of the opposing
armies can be traced without great difficulty.
The army of MacMahon without doubt crossed
the forest and plateau of Arbonne by the
two roads from Rethel to Stenay, and
thence headed for Montmedy. The army of
through the forest by way of Varennes, and
west of it by Suippes and VOuziers, struck the
rear of MacMahon's column on Aug. 30 at
Vrezy and Nouart, and subsequently at Beau
mont, where the rear or that half of Mac
Mahon's army west of the Meuse, was routed
with heavy loss On the opposite side of the
from Stenay toward MOntmedy was attacked
by the Crown Prince of Saxony at the "hights
" of Vaux," which are midway between Stenay
and Montmedy. This battle seems to have
forced MacMahon's advance back toward
/ Carignan, where a stand was made, and a
battle fought on Wednesday, Aug. 81. Of this
engagement we have no official report, as we
have of those of Vrezy, Nouart, Beau
mont, and Vaux; but its result is
not doubtful. The retreat of MacMahon
toward Sedan, and the occupation of Carignan
by the Prussians, are assured by various state
ments, not the least positive of which is the
assertion that fighting was resumed yesterday,
| Thursday, at Bazeile, a southern suburb of
Sedan, lying east of the Meuse. The result of
this last engagement is not known as we 90
to press
Thus it will be seen that MacMahon, who
was to have beaten his enemy In detail, has
been caught astride a navigable river and
badly beaten by his divided foes, who are at
liberty to unite if they so elect. But the defeat
has not been complete. A pitched battle must
| yet be fought-it may be even now
progressing at Bazeille-to assure the
Prussians of final triumph. The French
will hardly halt at Bazeille, in the event of de-
/ feat, but retreat to Mezieres and there attempt
may prove another Metz, and we may witness
the terrible struggles about GravelOtte repeated
! in that vicinity.

The "Diamond Digging" of south
Africa.

The New York World published daz-
spondent on Vaal river, South Africa, of
the new diamond diggings recently
discovered in that locality. The climate
of the spot is said to be most delightful,
and there is talk among the miners of
establishing republic in the territory.
In a letter, dated July 18th, the corre-
spordent says:
Our diggings are on top Of the third
capie or hill just behind our tent, that is
pitched upon the banks of the Vaal
river; the capie is about fifty feet high.
About one hundred men are working on
the capie now. At the second capie
they have been doing very well; about
two hundred men are working there now,
and Mr.. Proctor found 29t carat dia-'
mond there, worth ten thousand dollars,
last week. He also found FIVE carat
one in the same claim. Quite number
of smaller diamonds have been found in
the same capie.
At the first or Mcintosh capie very
little work has been done; it is mostly
worked out. Mcintosh showed me his
diamonds last week, ninety in number,
ranging from 80 carats down to J carat.
The whole lot is worth nearly 100000.
Rallaston, of the Natal party who worked
upon the same capie, took out fifty-two
diamonds, ranging from 40 carats to 81,
worth 100000. Another party took out
forty diamonds, the value of which | do
not know; others took out smaller num-
bers. Altogether there have been three
hundred diamonds taken out on the old
capie in the triangle of one hundred and
fifty PAGES. They we're taken from the
surface gravel that ranged from depth
of six inches to three feet, then yell
lowish clay shale. Several of the par
ties tried to sink shaft through this
shah and find another gravel bed, but
the deeper they went the harder it became,
and after sinking ten feet they gave it up.
Across the river on the Pniel Mission
grounds, in the Orange River Free State,
there are about two hundred men, women
and children working with the permission
of Mr.. Kalenburg, the missionary They
have been extraordinarily successful, and
all have taken out from one to FIVE
diamonds day, mostly small, however
One of l79 carats was taken out last
week, worth $4,000 Mr.. X. charges

press proposed that he should at once
return to Germany with herself to share
the captivity Of his father. Not to the
battles, mamma, not the battle, he ex-
claimed more than once, and the EN-
press in vain endeavored to reassure him
BY stating that his father was now quite
beyond the sounds and the sights which
had inspired his youthful imagination
with so much terror.
The scene proved far too trying for the
Empress. During the whole OF Friday
she was confined to her room, and she
had to seek the services of the very
physician who had formerly ministered
to Louis Philippe on a similar occasion.
The news of her identity had spread rap
idly through the town, but her incognita
was respected, and beyond the assem-
bling Of numerous groups beneath the
windows, nothing was done to disturb her
privacy.
On the Sunday, the Empress appeared
for the first time in public, at the Roman
CatholicChapel ofthis town, being accom-
panied by the Prince Imperial. The

to which her Imperial Majesty has so
long been accustomed During the mass,
which was celebrated by the parish priest
Father Foy, her Majesty appeared to be
entirely absorbed in her devotions. At
its conclusion the priest and his attend
ants, in compliance with the instructions
lately issued by the ecclesiastical author
tiles, ranged themselves in row at the
foot of the altar, and the priest said in
an audible voice and in English, For
Peace" after which the Lords Prayer
and the Hail Mary we're thrice
repeated with great fervor by the congre-
CATION. The service concluded with this
ejaculation: 90, Sacred Heart of Jesus
suffering in agony, have pity on the
dying" Her Majesty was deeply touched,
even to tears, while these prayers were
being recited. Most of the congrega-
ton were aware of the presence Of the
illustrious personages who knelt before
their humble altar, but they had too
much good taste to manifest their curl
osity in any way which at such a moment
might have been displeasing to the EN-
press and her son.

Tobacco for tho wounded.

From the London Lancet.l
If there be one fact that has been
more frequently stated than another, it
is that the soldiers engaged in this war,
well or wounded, seek the solace of to-
bacco. The inhabitants of every nation
manifest similar instincts, and one Of
the strongest is this desire to seek out
some substance, the use of which may
stimulate or soothe the nervous system.
There is no deprivation which the habit
ual, although not excessive, smoker feels
so much as the loss of tobacco; and sol
diers Of all nations, especially Of the
French and German nations, smoke it,
Ii was a standing injunction of the
First Napoleon that his troops should
have tobacco, and they found it Of the
greatest advantage in the retreat from
Moscow. We have been accustomed TO
look upon the German as fond of hard.
intellectual toll for its own sake; and
men of abstraction and Imagination, if
we may judge from the prevalence Of
the practice Of smoking among them,
unquesiionably appear to find an aid in
tobacco. But the manhood Of Germany
has risen like a giant refreshed to
undergo any physical exertion and
hardship that may be required; and this
war has taxed the physical energies Of
the strongest
The soldier, ,wearied with long marches
and uncertain rest, obtaining his food
how and when he can. with his nervous
system always in a state Of tension from
the dangers and excitement he encoun-
tiers, finds that his cigar or pipe enables
him to sustain hunger or fatigue with
comparative equanimity. Explain it as
we may. this is physiOlogieally true; and
medical officers who would not be sorry
to see the issue Of a spirit ration
discontinued. are compelled to allow
that the modernte use Of tobacco by sol
diers in the field has several advantages.
For the wounded il is probable that to-
bacco has slight anodyue and narcotic
properties that enable the sufferer to
sustain pain during the day and 70 OBJ
