ba Railroad when he was placed in charge thereof,
with the title of Superintendent OF the Philadelphia
Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad This post he
held until January l. 1866, when he was appointed to

NOTED to captaincy in 1S43. His first statf service
was with that fine soldier, Bugeaud, in Algeria.
Chef descadron and major in 1916, and lieutenant

Italian campaign At the commencement OF the
Crmean war he was mace Chief OF the General
Sta, and by reference to Kingakes History it will
be seen that in all conferences with Lord Raglan,
Trochu, rather than St. Arnaud or Canrobert, was
spokesman on the part OF France. Throughout the
campaign, having been made General OF Brigade in
1854, he occupied this position OF confidential
staf officer OF the Commander-in-Chief, an
Office analogous TO that OF Gnelsenau under
Bucher, given in just recognition OF his military

Lost Child-Fifteen Hundred Dollars REGARD
One thousand Dollars offered by the GoUer-
feled by the Father of the Child.-On Thursday
evening, the 9th of June, about o'clock, the
only daughter of Thomas Dgby, residing on
Howard street, near Poydras, was stolen by two
colored women.
Description of the child:-The little girl was
seventeen months old on the 14th day of June.
She had rather a thin face and delicate features,
small mouth, fair complexion, blue eyes. She
answers to the name of Moll, or Molle, and
called herself 'Dada"-tryipg to initiate her

can say a few words, like 'mama," ''papa,"

even dances.
Description of those who abducted her. She
was taken by light mulattress about twenty
five years of age, very tall and thin, with

eye.

THE PRUSSIAN UPRISING.

Prpssian Feeling Like the Uprising of the
North After Sumter-Prussia Taken by Sur
prise-Universities Closing and students En-
listing-slow C0ncentratiOn-Prussian Mean
to March on Paris.
The New York Tribune has the following
cable telegram from its special correspondent
LONDON, July 22.-The army movements on
both sides are slow. Our special correspondent
writes from Berlin, on the Goth inst, that Prus-
sia was actually taken by surprise. Nobody
contemplated war. Hence the concentration of
forces is less advanced than with the French,
nor will Won Moltke be hurried. There are two
methods of mobilizing the Prussian army.
The quicker is when regiments march as they
are, not waiting for the reserves, which follow
when ready. The more regular method is when
regiments await their reserves till their ranks
are full. The latter and slower method has
now been adopted, showing that Prussia is in no
dread of the threatened immediate invasion.
No soldier of the famous corps of Prussiau
Guards has yet left Berlin. Infantry reserves
were arriving on Tuesday, and regiments were
expected to march on Friday.
Enthusiasm and confidence increase daily
The feeling throughout Germany is only COM
parable to that of the North when Sumter was
attacked. Still the financial and commercial
distress is terrible, and there are innumerable
failures of old and strong houses.
1t is perfectly understood in Berlin that the
German army, if victorious, will march to Paris
The railroad freight traffic has ceased, and the
passenger traffic closes on the oath.
Gottingen University is closed, and all the
students have enlisted. From Bonn 3OO are eX-
pected. All the universities will soon close.
The London Daily Ne,os has special from
Strasbourg of the 21st inst, saying the defenses
depend much on the water, which is now so
low that the place is comparatively weak.
Additional works are in progress. The garri-
son numbers about six thousand, and besides
there are in camp about ten thousand
more. Communications across the river con-
tinue by ferry. Correspondents of La Lt6erts
and lie Rappel have been arrested, one while
sketching the Notifications, and the other on

great importance, on the North Sea and Baltic.
The officers 10 be selected will represent the
elite of our naval service, gentlemen of the
highest scientific attaipments, of great expe-
rience, and possessing powers of the keenest
observation. As our navy will be represented
at the scene of the conflicts some of the officers
may accompany our own vessels; but, gene
rally they will be expected to unite their for
tunes with the combatants on their respective
ships. Commander Edward Simpson has
already been detailed for this special duty, and
the names of others are still under consideration
since the department desires to send out the
very best for the specific duties to be assigned.
The naval commission will probably sail for
Europe by the last of the month, and will be
able to arrive at the scene of operations before
any serious naval blow has been struck.
