THE French town of Vcrtlun, which has
lately achieved no,oriety by the movements
of troops and the fighting of battles, is situa-
ted on the Meuse, twenty-eisht miles north
or Bar-le-Duc, and is about thirty miles due
west from Metz. II has a population of
over lO,5c0, and is strongly fortified. In
1872 il was bombarded and taken by the
Russians, but restored to the French after
the hattie of Valmy. There is a cathedral
in the place, valuable public library and
other important institutions. The inhabi-
tants are chiefly occupied in manufacturing
woollen fabrics, wooden wares, nails, leather,
liquors and confectionery. Etain is town

The Rattle 81 GFavelssse, AnG. ~.
fErom the n Y. Tribune

From the y. y. Tribune.
The tactics Of Ss,dowa were repeated nj
Gravelo,te. The Prussians began the en-
gagement with divided army. or rather two
armies moving from different directions,
with orders to form junction behind the
enemy's position. Baz,ine covered tine
point which the Prus~ians had selected ~
that upon which to converge, and actually
lay between the two armies which be had to
fight. IL was not until after nightfall that
the junction was effected and the victory
won; but it was then complete, and forced
Bazaine into Metz, where j, had all along
been the design Of the Pn,ssians Ia confine
him. The battle was purely defensive on
the part Of the French. None of the several
bloody repul-es Of Prince Frederick Charles
attacks were signal enough to enable Bazaine
to follow with an offensive movement to ex-
tFicate h;nisel; from his great danger. He
held the strong positions of the field. The
second line which he assumed was pro-
nOunced invulnerabie, md the direct attack
of Prince Frederick Charles would doubt
less have failed To dislOige Bazainc, had not
Won Steinmetz struck the right flank Of the |
French sOOn after nightfall. The Prtssian
attacks were in overwhelming force and per-
sistent; at every hour from morning until |
night, achievements for them arrived upon
the field; and the French were outnumbered |
at least two to one. The slaughter was hor-
rible, the Prussians losing by far the great
est number Of men in consequence Of the
with which they attacked.
The attack of Won Steinmetz on the
French right was but the repetition Of Prince
Charles's famous assault - the Austrian
right at SadOwa-Of Blucher's grand charge
1t Waterloo. 1t was as decisive of this
hattie as the others were of the fates Of Bene-
iek and the First Napoleon. Razaine
could not hope to resist it, and retired to
Metz. Darkness was his ally; else the attack
IF Won Steinmetz must have resulted in the
out if not the total destruction Of his army.
