The special correspondent of the Tribune
at the Prussian headquarters, sends the fol
lowing accounC of Thursdays battle, written
the same night on the field, forwarded by a
messenger to Saarbruck, and reaching Lon
don, thence by telegraph on Sunday evening
"a battle was fought to-day (Thursday) fore.
uoop. We call it the battle of Gravelotte II
began at ten in the morning and lasted till af-
ter niue this evening.
Until noon it was an artillery duel. The
French lines stretched along the hills COVERING
the two roads leading from Metz 10 Verdun
having on tEeir right flank farm house
known as Sa Villette, with a walled garden
and they held in great force a Sunken road
that led straight from Gravelotte 10 the cen
ire of their position.
On the French left the road wound over the
crest of the hill on which twelve earthworks
had been thrown. Eight metrailleurs besides
artillery were posted to command every APP
proach 10 this strong position, and their guns
swept the valley reaching from Gravelotte
eastward, by which the Prussians had to adj
vance.
Behind this line of strong defence lay the
parently one of impregnable strength and
completely protecting the French reag. The
position first held by the Prussians was east
OF the French, facing toward Metz, occupy
ing the southern post road to Verdun, and
reaching over chain of hills living between
Graveotte and Rezonville.
The result OF the artillery contest was to
compel the French to abandon their most aJ D.
vanced position. and the line by which tbev
hoped to cover both roads, YVES pierced any
driven back. AT noon the Prussians wara
able TO push forward their artillery. tho
French guns proving unable to resist the
Prussan fire.
The Prussian batteries shortly after noon
were in position on either side of Gravelotte.
SO that neither of the roads which at that
point branch off to Verdun north and south
westerly, were any longer open to the Freuch.
BY o'clock the French battery, covering
the Verdun road from the northeast, were 81
fenced, and the Prussians had advanced so
lar from the south of that road as TO occupy
farm house at Malmason, little northeast
from Gravelotte.
twenty minutes later the fire so slackened
ana WaVered that the Prussian batteries were
once more pushed forward and took a new
position in front of Gravelotte.
At $40 the Prussian cavalry went into ac-

tiop. They advanced under hot fire from
the French guns. The attack was made in
considerable force by the Uhlans, cuirassers
and lancers, but they were at first without in
iantry uspport and made no serious impress
sion on the position naturally strong aud still
held in force by all arms of the French.
AT L. NJ, a portion of the Sd PIussian
corps had come upon the ground. The in
1aEtry regiments were formed as fast as they
came INTO position from which serious at
tack was to be directed, on what appeared to
be the key OF the French lines. The 33d regi-
Ment Of the Prussian line was launched
against the same position which the cavalry
had failed to reach. 1t moved forward with
the utmost determination, butEthe French
by this time had reinforced their defence
more strongly than the Prussians had their
attack and they still outnumbered their ASST
ants and steadily maintained their ground
line which they had occupied AS the differ
ent divisions OF the Prussian army came into
position they attacked forciby but were re-
peatedly driven back with heavy loss.
Inc struggle lasted with varying fortunes
on different portions of the lines until eight
O'Clock. Up TO that hour the French held
their ground. At eight O'Clock the Prussians
massing heavy forces On their left attacked and
carried La Villette, hamlet covering the
French right. This once in Prussian hands
cudDleu Inem 10 ennlaQe tne FRENCH llueS anu
take IN reverse some of their Outworks.
The ground the French held so obstlnately
and calamity during five hours they were
compelled to abandon and at nine o'clock
were driven back upon Metz and under cover
of its outlying forts. Their last hold upon
the Verdun road was abandoned, their COM
munication destroyed to the East and West
and the French army of the Rhine after losing
three pitched battles since Sunday was shut
up in the fortress which they had chosen for
the base of their operations for the invasion
of Germany.
The Sth Prussian corps, numbering with
the other divisions over $4,000 men, bore the
brunt OF the battle. The I'd and Sd corps
were partially engaged. Four thousand
French prisoners were taken. The Plussians
loss in killed wounded and missing, is esti-
mated tonight not less than 10000. Of the
french losses no estimate can yet be formed
but their defeat is complete and it is believed
that they are no longer in condition to make
any further attempt at escape. The Prussian
army in spite of all loss, is in the highest spr-
Its. Rumors of peace are already circulated
In the camps and the hardest work of the
campaign is thought by the soldiers to be
over.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I regret to notice in your pa
per paragraph rejecting upon Vice Admiral
Porter, an officer whose services to the country
entitle him to nations gratitude, and to rank
next to the illustrious Farragut on the list of
naval heroes. Vice Admiral Porter is, since
the death of Admiral Farragut, unquestiona-
bly, the most distinguished naval captain, and
there would be the same propriety in confer
ring upon him the rank of Admiral as there
was in comforting u Don Sherman the rank of
General of the Army upon the resignation of
of Grant
