A LYNcHBURGER ARRESTED AS FRENCH SPY.
The friends of Mr.. Max Guggenhcimerr,
of this city, now absent on tour through
Europe, received from him Wednesday a
very interesting communication. Mr.. GuS-
penheimer states in his letter that he was
detained three DAYS ON the railroad line be-
tween Nuremburg and Augsburg by the
passage of trains containing Prussian sol
diers. Having served rs a soldier in the
Confederate army, Mr.. Guggenheimer eX-
perienced a natural sense Of curiosity in the
Prussian preparations for the war, and
passing through the cars, inspected care
Of the Drivates. This circumstance caused
| him to be carefully watched, and when the
cars reached Augsburg he was arrested and
! detained On suspicion of being French
| spy. Our friend had no difficulty, how
| ever, in proving himself good German,
| and wholly in sympathy with the German
| cause and was not only promptly released,
| but was treated by the people and his ac-
quaintances in Augsburg with marked hos
pitality and misunderstanding Republ-

The knowledge Of the French districts
shown by the staff of the German army is
considered wonderful. Not only do they
know where every village lies, but they can
tell at once the amount of stabling to be
found in it, whether there is large church
or school-room in which men or horses can
be quartered. They are well informed as
to the accommodation to be got in France,
and the staff can say at once how many
horses can be stabbed in every village from
the frontier to Paris.
