combatants so evenly matched. Cores
pondents of newspapers are rigidly exclud-
cd from the French camp, and it is not
safe to place entire reliance even upon in
itiatory movements which are not made
from personal observation.
There can be no doubt that the forward
movement of the French army has begun.
An Americsn correspondent at Metz tel
egraphs that Thursday was the time
fixed for the troops to march. He be-
lieves that the King of Prussia, if he is
willing to fight at all on the left bank,
will accept battle somewhere about Kreutz-
mach. This correspondent, who seems to
have peculiar facilities of judging the mil
itary probabilities, expresses the belief
that the odds are immensely in favor of
France. He estimates the army at 500,
600 men, and declares them to be in a
magnificent state of discipline. Telegrams
from the seat of war report that the Prus-
slams have evacuated Wassarbillg, which
is the last Prussian military station on the
line to Luxembourg. They are evidently
falling back over the Rhine and concen-
tratirg at Mayence, where King William
arrived on Tuesday night. An engage
mcnt was reported on Tuesday, in which
the French claim to have killed thirty and
captured eighty of the enemy. A Berlin
dispatch says: Prussia is everywhere
prepared for defence but not for attack !"

DELAWARE ENTERPRIsE. Mr.. Isaac
Solomon, formerly of this State, has cs-
tablished on an Island in the Patuxent
River, near its mouth, the largest oyster
and fruit canning establishment in the
United States. The Island comprises
about eighty acres, and was purchased by
Mr.. Solomon, a few years ago, of Messrs.
Booth and Fitzgerald, of Baltimore. An
old tenant house was the only building on
the Island, at that time. Since then Mr..
Solomon has remodeled the old building,
transforming it into neat and commodi-
