We publish an instalment Of our special cor
respondence from the European continental
centres and other points more exactly near 70
the seat Of war to-day. The letters arc dated
in Paris, Oarlsruhe, Berlin, on the dsId of
Haguenau, ia Main, IN ths
neld at the headquarters Of the army divisions
Of Baden, and In Bruschal, Baden. We hsvo
advices from Hesse Darmstadt and RussfG
besides. Our correspondents narrate the hfs~
tory Of events to the 18th Of August From
the aeIds Of battle we have again proof Of tie
resolute determination Of the Germans aud ef
tho gallantry and esprit Of the French. The
bloody 6eId Of Hayuenau, az It was surveyed
BY our writer after the battle, Afforded
fightful attestation Of both. The combat
ragged fercely over space Of ground two
miles in length. This area was covered to It's
full extent with the dying and the dead Of ths
two armies. The dead bodies were laid Ia
every possible position which can be induced
by the convulsions Of the dread mortal agony
in men wdo are cut of suddenly and In the
pride of their strength. Horses andedders
were mangled in shattered masses. Frencb
and German soldiers were stretched side by
side, peacefully at length, and Gin death they
were not divided" It was the ''oue red burial
blent" like as at Waterloo, but rendered still
more ghastly by the effects Of the mitralIleuse.
the Chassepot and the needle gun.
In this correspondence we have an intima-
ton Of the probable consequences OF
the war, Of the work Of the peo-
pies behind the backs Of the Empe-
ror, The kings and the generals. Paris
had initiated the great French political crisiss
Paris was about to speak for the people against
the dynasties. Paris was determined to Soon
quer or die" in grand French effort for the
rout Of the Prusslans; but Paris was equally
determined to be free, one, national and inde-
pendent, after France had struck the decisive
blow. War loans, debts, pensions and deco
rations, and crosses and glory were spoken Of
on every side in Paris; but tumult came, above
all, in face of the solid, hard fact that the
Prussians were at the door OF Paris, and that
the Prussians appeared to be determined to
come into the city nolens 0oIens, almost after
the fashion and order of Marshal Pelllssier
before the Malakoff at Sebastopol, when he
said to the French storming party, "K we
cant go in at the door we must get in by the
window" Baden, Bavaria and Wurtemberg
remained intensely national for the North.
Napoleon was regarded by the South German
ladies as a sort of resuscitated ogre, so that
his Majesty is unfortunate in every way;
repulsed at the Rhine and frowned on by the
''darkly, deeply, beautifully blue" eyes Of the
South. Berlin said that Bonaparte deserved
it all; deserved everything that is cruel and
severe, from defeat in the field to expulsion
from Paris, exclusion from the society of the
fair and general personal retrocession from
the Tuileries towards Ham or ''any other
place." Frankfort endorsed Berlin with men,
with money, with arms, food, wine, lager
and the "God speed" In such manner our
special writers enable the American public to
comprehend the vast European complication,
and so do we prepare the American people for
the acceptance Of the consequences Of Its ulti-
mate solution.
