The French Suffering from HunRer-Large
Prussian Keinforcements.
LONDON, August 15.-[Special to the New
York Herald.]-A special dispatch was re
ceived here to-day from Forbach, which says
that the French, while retreating to the west
side of the Moselle, were attacked by the
Prussians of General Steinmetz. The French
were thrown into great confusion, and after
gallant stand, were routed by the Prussians.
The slaughter was great. A dispatch received
from Carlsruhe says the Prussians now oc-
cupy Muhlhausen and Besancon. One hun
dred thousand of the landwehr are crossing
the frontier.

The correspondent describes an interview

leaving us time to get the whole army on the
Rhine and thence to the frontier. In few
days work will begin" Speaking of the Ger

warm terms the sympathy expressed there.

SUPERSTITION OF ALASKA INDIANs.-A COR
respondent of the San Francisco Bulletin
writes as follows from Sitka:-''It may be
unknown to your readers that the Indians
of some portions of this territory have been
in the habit of sacrificing the life of one or
more slaves on the death of any of their
chiefs or medicine men. This custom is
based on the supposition that in their spirit
land the services of such slaves are neces-
sary to the comfort and well-being of the
departed, and to avoid the trouble of employ
ing such in that happy hunting ground they
despatch one of his human chattells at the
same moment the spirit of the warrior chief
takes it's upward fight. An instance of this
occurred here three weeks ago. About ten
o'clock at night the sentinel ON the palisade
gate, leading to Indiantown, was attracted
by the wailing cry of a squaw in
quiring the cause of her distress, she
gave him to understand that her son
was then tied up, preparatory TO being
stabbed-the usual mode of despatching them
for thepIrpose above mentioned. The COM
mandant Of the post was notified, and an
