Terrific Assault nj MOntmedy
Prussians Repulsed with
Heavy Loss.

New YORK, September THE 7ri
b1nes correspondent writes from tie
headquarters of the King at Donhery
near Sedan, on the 81 inst, that the
Emperor found his position so critical
in Sedan after the armistice became
known, that he was glad to come over
and surrender himself. He could con.
troll the storm while the men were to
fight ard die for him, but when it came
to all being prisoners together, they
were somewhat dangerous in their mood.
| hear that this same angry, despairing
astonishment at what has happened,
makes it hard work to manage the
prisoners of war who have been taken
first and last about Sedan.
There was actual danger of bloodshed
this morning, when the prisoners began
to move out of the town. Happily the
officers in command showed admirable
tact and frmness. The French kept
their old authority by not straining the
cord too tight and the Germans by not
showing themselves too much on the
scene. Sedan is presenting the widest
scene of confusion, which YOU can i'm
agine. The narrow streets are deep in
mud, for We have had heavy rain to-
day. The soldiers are half drunk, with
stores of liquors, and houses half burned
and dead bodies are lying everywhere.
There are thousands of wounded men
to be cared for.
Mcmahon was severely injured at the
beginning of the battle, but his life is
not in danger. The loss among the
French in superior officers has been
something dreadful You ask what is
10 be our next move Ianswer, to Paris.
So says the whole voice of public rumor
and public opinion in the German army.
To Paris, unless the French will yield
up Strasburg and Metz and pay the war
expenses. Count Bismarck would be
content with less, but the German people
insist on hard terms and the German
people must be obeyed To Paris, then,
is the cry and with their accustomed
energy, the muddy, travel-stained legions
of King William are off and away on
the road to the French capital.
LONDON, September 1t is denied
that the MulhouseNational Guard, sue
cessfully repulsed the Germans whow
seeking to pass the Rhine at that point.
Nearly all the wounded who were col
lected at Sedan have been sent under
capitulation to the neighboring towns
and farms.
PARIS, September The heads of
the Prussian column halt apparently at
Laon and Epernay.
LUXEMBOURG, September "A terrific
assault has been made upon the tortif-
cations Of Montmedy. The hcsiegers
opened hot fire Of artillery upon the
city, and assaulted the works with bay
onet. The garrison repulsed the Prus-
SLAMS with great loss. The Prussians
have withdrawn from the neighborhood,
and the French remain at Mohtmedy.
Shells from the Prussian guns fell within
the city, setting fire to the houses Half

hagration. The distress among the in
habitants is great The bombardment
