correspondent tells the following pleasant
e cIeti to him: i. After the nnii battle Of Wieis.
s%enbourg, several hundred prisoners filed
in, with high heads and stern looks, poor

Prince of Prussia rode up, and when he
saw the prisoners he took off his hat, with
serious respect, and bowed to them; then
turning to Won Bittentield and the others,
said: "Salute courage, gentlemen; never i'll
my life have l seen anything so brave as
these soldiers, whom ill-luck has played
false"
