The Memphis Sun says that Tennessee
has been utterly swept and her treasury
emptied. 1t is due to Radical leaders,
who, in three years, consumed all the peo-

added about twenty millions to our State
indebtedness. The Finance Committee of
the Legislature would borrow, for immedi-
ate use, 100000.

Mounted Chasseurs startled by Artil.
lery-Desperate Attack ON Prussian
Batteries and MurderOus Repulse-
DOuay,s Forces Pressed by Prussian
Artillery.
[Cable Special to the New York Trbune.l
LONDON. August S.-A special cores
pondent sent from Nancy. Friday morning,
the following account of the battle at Weis-
senburg, from the French side While Gen
eral Douays division, composed of the
seyenty-fOurth and seventy-fifth regiments
of line, the sixteenth battalion of chasseurs
on foot one regiment of Turcos, and one
regiment of mounted chasseurs, were busy
Yesterday in the neighborhood of Weissen-
burg. they were actually startled by a tre-
mendOus discharge of artillery.
As the patriots, which had been posted
all along the frontier. had not signalled the
the presence of any Prussian troops, the
men believed for a moment that they were
surrounded by the enemy. This was not
the case. But the Prussians in great force,
and supplied with artillery, appeared on
the heights of Schwergen, occupying the
whole Of the country near the small Baya-
rian village.
General Douay ordered his troops to ad
vance before the enemy, keeping as much
as possible behind Weissenburg, which lay
Just between them and the Prussian forces,
but this precaution proved quite useless,
because guns were pouring tremendous fire
among them. The troops were falling Ill
great numbers. In the village of Weissen-
burg itself the French fell from their for
mer position. and commenced marching on
the right side of the village. The Prussian
guns were firing at a tremendous rate, and
three rounds fell equally in Weissenburg
and in the midst of the troops.
Several houses were on fire, and large
number of soldiers lay dead or wounded.
At about eleven o'clock General NOhcan's
division was commencing to retire: how
ever. a new attack was ordered. The TurcOs
led the way, and, with bayOnet in hand.
threw themselves ON one of the Prussian
batteries of artillery, but the attack proved
to be useless, and had the French persisted
in attacking the enemy longer, there would
not have been one of them left alive. AS
soon as what was left of General DOuay's
forces began to retire the Prussian artillery
was after them. 1t was about twelve
o'clock when General Douay fell victim
to the Prussian artillery. When this took
place, the troops commenced running with
out orders crossing roads and vineyards
until again reaching the furthest part Of
Weissenburg. The number of dead and
wounded must be very large. The remain
ing troops are eager to avenge the death OF
their late general.
The country people seem TO be in great
CONSERVATION. The road which leads to
Hagenou is crowded with peasants, carry
ing their goods and cattle with them. and
crying over the sad fate in reserve for their
humble cottages.
