vile. but had been transferred and pushed
forward to Gravelotte, the junction of two
branching roads to Verdun.
The fields in front Of that village were
completely covered by Prussian reserves,
and over it interminable lines of soldiers
were perpetually marching onward, disap-
pearing into the village and emerging on
the other side with flaming volleys.
This second battlefield was less exten-
sive than the first, and brought the Oppos-
ing forces into fearfully close quarters.
The popularity of it is that it consists of
two heights intersected by deep ravine.
This woody ravine is over one hundred feet
deep, and at the top some three hundred
yards wide. The side of the chasm next to
GravelOtte, where the Prussians stood, is
much lower than the other side, which
gradually ascended to a great height.
From their commanding eminence the
French held their enemies fairly beneath
them, and poured upon them seerching
fire.
The French guns were in position far up
by the Metz road, hidden and covered
among trees. There was not an instant
cessation of the roar. Easily distinguished
amid all was the curious, grunting roll of
the mitrailleuse.
The Prussian artillery was posted to the
north and south of the village, the guns on
the latter side being necessarily raised for
an awkward, half vertical fire.
The French stood their ground and died;
the Prussians stood their ground and died;
both by hundreds-I had almost said by
thousands.
This for an hour or two, that seemed
ages, so constant was the slaughter. The
hill where / stood commanded, chiefly, the
conflict behind the village. and to the south

LONDON. August 26.-The Times has the
following: ..-
King William. leaving sufficient force at
Metz, where seige works rise like exhala-
ton, joined the Crown Prince, who Is
marching on Paris.
McMahons movements begin to be intel
ligible. A fugitive from Woerth, avoiding
Metz he passed through the NOsges to
ChalOns, where he was reinforced by the
Garde Mobile and recruits. His obvious
aim was to check the Crown Princes march
on Paris, Affecting to disregard McMahon,
the Crown Prince passed Chalons in the
morning, on McMahOn's flank, offering him
battle. which McMahon declined, retreating
to Rheims leaving Chalons to the Prus-
slams. Since then Rheims itself has been
abandoned. The obvious motive through
out was to avoid fight.
The Prussians use the railroad from Lune
vile to point near Strasburg for the trans
portatiOn of tn cir wounded.
Mcmahon and Bazaine are still cut OFT
from communications with Paris.
The Prussian cavalry occupy DOulmont,
and their cuirrassiers are camped at st.

Adyices from Madrid state that republi-
can special deputies have gone to Paris to
watch events. They will open communica-
ton with the French republicans with
view of establishing a mutual course OF ac

Mcmahon is trying to reach Bazaine VIA
Mezieres, Montmedy and Thionville, but
the Prussians cut through Narrenncs and
Dun. There is fighting between Dun, Bu-
zancy and Mouzay. .
According to all probabil there will be
an important action soon near Montmedy.
Immense quantities of meat have been
shipped from Liverpool to France.
There is great activity in the British
armies and navy yards. 1t is rumored that
British artillery has been ordered from
Plymouth to Antwerp. 1t is stated that D.
J. Weiss. who succeeded ParadOl IN the
chair of literature of AK. and who founded
the journal de Paris, will be appointed
minister to Washington.

almost maldlin in their expressions OF at
fection for Prussia, but misrepresent the
average sentiment of the English people.

part of the Times of preparation to change
sides

Murder and Robbery in Natchit ches
Parish.

We have received information of the muir
der of young William Jones, Of Rapides,
son of Carroll Jones, OF that parish, which
took place in Natchitoches parish, some ten
miles below the town of Natchitoches, on
the Cane river. The circumstances. as we
learn them. were as follows: Young Jones
had been selling some cattle in the neigh
borhood, and was known to have consi-
derable money about him. On his way back
to Rapides, in company with young man,
they stopped at wedding party at the
house of some acauaintances, leaving their
horses tied at some distance from the house.
When they left the house to get their horses
and return home, at about one o clock in the
morning, they were attacked by party of
three men, when young Jones was over
powered and murdered, being stabbed un.
der the nipple, and four or five hundred
dollars in money taken from his pockets.
The murderers were pursued and arrested,
and are now in jail at Natchitoches, await
ing trial. The money mas not yet been re

SUIT FOR $4,000.


From the st. Louis Democrat.
Last fall James J. O'FallOn and Samuel
A. Hatch, of this city, and S. l.. James, of
Louisiana, obtained from the State of Louis
lana, large contracts for building levees,
and not being able to give the time and
attention to the building of them that were
necessary. they took into partnership
several others and divided the profits,
which are said to be very large. Colonel
Joseph Kelly and his brother James entered
into an agreement with them to build what
is known as the Buckhorn and Hawes'
Harris levees, they to receive One-third of
the profits, and to give their supervision and
time. and Hatch, james & Co. this being
the name of the frm) were to furnish the
materials, supplies, ETC., and were to re-
ceive two-thirds iof the profits. The levees
being completed, Hatch, James.& Co. re-
ceived pay therefor from the State, which
was their right, they being the original
contractors, but have failed, it is alleged,
to account for the profits due and owing to
the Kellys, and for which NJ. X. McGrath,
the administrator, has brought suit in the
Circuit Court of this county, alleging that
the profits arising from the building of said
Buckhorn and Hawes' Harris levees to be
$4,000. and for one-third of which he asks
Judgment Messrs. Musser & Ellerbe, with
Messrs. Lakeland, Martin & Lakeland, are
his attorneys.
