PARIS, August 1.-THE Monttew
gives the following account of the
de 18th Of General Douay, at the battle
of weisseIbourg: "rlie General was
from the beginning in tho thickest of
the fight, and when he saw the day
WIS lost, after he had done all lie could
to retrieve it-when not even n bat
talon was left him-he called his aids,
one by one, and gave them orders and
cent them away. As soon rs the lust
was gone, the General, squirting his
horse, rode some distance to the front,
dismouted and taking n pistol from
the holster he shot the animal. Then
turning around he slowly walked to-
ward the enenly-his soldiers vainly
tried to stop him amid a terrible fire
he deliberately walked OH. The re-
treating soldiers were aroused by the
spectacle, and turned again upon the
enemy, but they fell in heaps around
their General, who still pressed for
ward. Another tremendous discharge
from the enemy, and General Douay,
almost alone, fell dead"

G~ateresting Accounts sf b Battle
I..H . or Worth.
LONDON, August ia correspond
elt of the New York Herald, who was
present at the battle Of Worth. tele-
graphs the following from Carlsruhe
..'rie French official accounts of the
b,ttle at Worth are wholly untrue.
M:Mahon was completely routed. The
f ,ench abandoned everything and fled,
leaving behind their killed, wounded
q I'd prisoners. numbering 10000 out
Of $4,000 engaged. The French held
a strong position, but the Prussians
fl ed with terrible precision, injuring
tie French very badly. Both sides
fmght desperately, and finally the
French gave why In n panic. The
accounts representing Strasbnrg rs
8 III In communication with Nancy,
are untrue. Strasburg has been COM
pletely besieged since Monday, and the
gates are shut. Heavy artillery Is now
OH the way, but the Prussians will
make a stout resistance. 1t Is believed
the object of the Prussians Is to get
between Metz and Paris"

PARIS, August 1.-THE Figaro says
t'lat physicians Just returned from the
front report that even the Prussians
acknowledge the superiority Of the
French guns.
Nearly all the French soldiers were
wounded In the legs and feet while In
battle.
At Worth, the loss Of the Prussians,
In killed and MORALLY wounded, was
immense, owing to the longer range Of
Chassepots. These facts make a strong
impression on the soldiers.
Some neutral gentleman says that
the French wounded were taken by
the Prusians into their ambulances,
a I'd treated with the utmost care and
kindness, aud that ambulance service
of the enemy Is perfectly organized.
