PARIS, September 1.-The Monitsm
declares positively that the battle OF
Courcelles was q decided victory for
Bazaine.
The Public says that the Govern
ment has received no official dispatches
to-day, in consequence Of the cessation
of telegraphic communication be Sedan
and Wegieres, but it is certain that
battles were fought on Tuesday and
Wednesday The first was surprise,
which resulted in a partial reverse in
the corps of General Failley, who was
awaiting the arrival of General
Vimpffen his successor. While
he still commanded there were
also separate and detached conflicts, in
which our troops displayed great hero
ism; but there was a want Of unity
during the engagement, and the Prus-
slams claim the victory. But in the
battle of yesterday there is no question
hut that Mcmahon had great success
against the troops OF both Princes.
Bazaine was not engaged in the fight
Yesterday, but it is known that he to-
day continues the work so energetically
begun by Mcmahon.

TERRIBLE SCENE.
Two Men Run Over and Killed by a
Railway Train-PRrticu1ars Of the
Accident.

The passengers on the train coming
east on Saturday night, a few miles
east of Cambridge were startled by the
shrilI whistle of the locomotive and the
hurried action of the brakesmen, which
told of sudden danger or calamity
pending. Going at a terrible rate, to
gain lost time, the train sped onward
Tor full half a mile before it stopped.
The conductor Fastening forward soon
returned pale and anguish stricken to
the rear end OF the train, and TO the
question what's the matter? said with
trembling voice, I'VE have killed twom
back here Men with lanterns walked
swiftly over the track. while the train
followed. On, on they went, until it
seemed we must have passed the danger
point or have been deceived as to the
nature of the fright. The lantern bear
ers concluded it was a false alarm, and
desired to give up the search. Bnt no
the conductor says 60 farther. When
presently, to those standing on the plat
form of the backing car, the appalling
sight Of two stalwart men wrlthing in
apparea, death agonies, was realized by
the glaring light Of the lanterns, and
there, too, by the side of one of them
the cause OF their fate-the inevitable
jug Of 'ohisky!
The train halts, and amid the
shrieks of frightened women and hur
ried talk of men, and groans and erie:
of the wounded men, they were taken
aboard the train to be carried to the
coal works" a few miles along the
railroad, it being supposed they be
longed there Arriving there and call
ing up some one, it was found they die
not belong there, but probably were
workmen at the shaft, little furthe
up the road. So, slowly, amid tn,
nightly gloom, the train arrives at tn,
"shat," when sounding an alarm, :
scene that beggars description soon en-
sues. Men apparently springing out o
the ground come from every direc
ton, some with lights in their hats
some with lanterns, all anxiously in
ouiring What was the matter ?

LONDON, August 3l.-Ehgland is
likely to have an Alabama issue with
Prussia. A note almost equivalent to
protest has been received by Earl
Granville. 1t demonstrates against
Englands disregard of her obligations
as neutral; declares Prussia will not

England to fulfill her neutral obllga-

question is diplomatic one, the note
