Our Extra Yesterday.

The glorious news of the surrender of
the Emperor of France and the army of
Marshal McMahon startled our people
from their morning reveries yesterday, and
the Extra REPUBLICAS," communicating
that cheering intelligence. was cried BY the
newsboys fully twenty minutes before an
extra was issued from any other office.

news of paramount Importance, and will

road did not commence until nine o'clock

mans, and on all sides repulsed them. So
far as the field Of victory goes, without cal
culating the great general object OF the
battle, the French troops were glOriOusly
victorious, and when it closed at twilight,
the sturdy defenders Of France occupied
the field Of battle. The German army had,
however, obtained its object, which was to
stop the retreat OF Bazaine, and in this view,
and its probable subsequent advantages to
Germany. may be considered the greatest
victory they have won up to this time. The
result of this battle of the sixteenth will
probably be that Bazaine will be forced
within the lines of Metz. Here he will find
it difficult to feed such large army do
not believe, however, the position is so ex-
srcmely critical for France as it might ap-

city can take place under the present cir

enemies.

finally driven back in the battle of the 18th

line, which they have not attempted.

The Fru.Sinn Anaconda.

The New York Commercial 4dcey'tjser Of
Tuesday had a long doubeleaded editorial,
from which we make this prophetic extract:
To-day's advices indicate that the ana
conda movement, which seeks to surround
and crush Mcmahon, is well under way.
With his head resting at Metz and Thion
vile, the huge Prussian boa extends its
coils round through Barbecue, Chalons
and Rheims, hoping to sweep Mcmahon into
its fatal embrace as Bazaine already has
been. Unless he can break through these
meshes. unless he can sever and smash the
coils which now slowly but surely contract
about him, Mcmahon is lost. and the dash
ing Ihlans may water their horses in every
French stream from Calais to Toulouse.
