Won MOLTKE.
The Great German strateglst and his Pc
cuiiarities.

The Great German, sirateg'st and his Pc
cultartties.
A correspondent Of the New York Times
writes as follows from Berlin
The leading spirit of the army the "tdcjHtnte
prtnceps," is Count Moltke. He was born in
1900, but at the first glance, neither his looks
nor his department seem to betray him, and
casual observer certainly would give him no
of being his cts-G rts at dinner for two consecu-
tive days. 1t Is needless to say that etiquette
forbids interviewing" in this part of the
world. Moreover, any attempt in that
direction would have proved, under any cir
cumstances, dead failure, inasmuch as his
retcence has become almost a by-word
Although, like many other generals, Count
Moltke is little inclined to be talkative, he is
considered as one OF the greatest linguists in
Prussia. had the fullest opportunity of closely
observing and minutely ecrutinizing this great
man, and / confess was literally charmed. The
mien of modesty and his retiring manner were
through the world have often had occasion
to observe, and even to admire, the
calm and apparently unconcerned man
ner displayed by great heroes or
prominent statesmen. But on further examina-
tion, have invariably been doomed to disap-
pointment. Simplicity turned out, as it were,
merely matter of education; the taciturn and
retiring demeanor proved to be the result OF
mannerism. In fact, had TO learn that these
men thought and felt like other mortals. But
was forcibly impressed that this must be other
wise with Count Moltke, and was irresistibly
reminded that no man was ever great without
some degree of divine inspiration: Memo vr
magnus sino atatu aliquo divine nunQuam fnit.
Persons who hesitate to believe that Prussia is
fully prepared to meet the dangers of the i'm
pending struggle, will find in the mien and de-
pertinent of Count Moltkc unmlstakable evil
dence that nothing has been neglected to render
the position of his country invincible. They
will find that he carries with him the conviction
that his army is unconquerable. All that fore
thought and human skill can devise has bsen
provided for. He is contented TO leave the rest
to the Lord of Hosts.

must also come to time, and, like Bazane, he is
reported from London as being surrounded by
the army of the Crown Prince. Some reports
place his headquarters at st. Dizier, on the
Marne 80 miles southeast of Chalons, where the
Prussian pickets where said to have appeared,
while others credit him with marching to the
relief of Bazane, and state that the camp at
Chalons has been raised, and the troops formerly,
there ordered to take positions along the line.
Meanwhile, there is no confirmation of the
reported battle near Chalons, and both the
people and authorities of Paris are impressed
with the belief that the Crown Prince is making
his way towards the capital as fast as possible
by way of the valley of the Aube, midway be-
tween the Marne and the Seine. Impressed
with this belief the preparations to stand siege
are progressing with the utmost rapidity. The
country people are again urged by the authori-
ties to bring their provisions to the capital, and
the Minister of the Interior publishes another
circular calling upon the country to "arm with
out delay" He continues, "We are in a crisis
when all must come forward for the defense of
the country"
In the midst of all come reports that Prince
Napoleon at Florence and the Marquis de la
Vallette at London are endeavoring to secure
the mediation or interpostion of England aud
Italy, while there are doubtful rumors of q grand
league of all the neutral nations for putting an
end to the conflict or averting anarchy in France

burglary; Henry Campbell, colored, convicted
of stealing; Daniel Cubbage, colored; William
