dent of a city paper dated 18th, says we
are persuaded here that efforts are maxim!
to conceal the fact that the Prussian lost
seriously in the battles of the 18th and 10th.
The details furnished are not credited. 1t
is openly asserted that the losses are SO
great that the army is disorganized and
not able to advance, which will allow the
French time to gather immense strength,
which will cause the Germans to pay dear
~ for their first successes.

think that my brother went to the resi-

low me to correct the impression through
the columns Of your paper, by giving a
few facts. which the %snbjoined testimony

Nv brother was recognized as an officer

and The Supreme Court of the State O fLou-
isiana, and went On the morning Of the 18th

HAYES an order from the 9Th Judicial District
Court, which had been handed 10 my

yfousIy by Henry L. Garland Esqr., with
instructions to serve Immediately.
The s%ubjoined testimony taken at the
preliminary examination by the magistrate
to whom JAS, G. Hayes Surrendered him
self will be read with great interest by your
readers and will allow them to judge for
Themselves whether it was as you stated,
q personal rencontre between BY brother &
