of the road from the Patapsco to below Mari

will be completed next week Ties arc being
delivered along the line, and it is probable that

seven miles below Eklidge Landing, and take
nearly O strai ght course to the Little Patu2ent,
at about the mouth Of Rogue lIarbor BraDci,,
crossing the Annapolis and Xix Ridge Railroad

low Lemons Bridge, from whence the track
will take almost straight line to huntingdon
the point Of junction with the Washington
Branch. The main line thence follows down
Collington Branch, crossing the West Branch
the Marlboro Depot, Oh the lands OF Clement
Hill.
About seven miles below Marlboro tie road
strikes the table land, over which there is com
paratively little work to be done, the natural
grade being very nearly the grade Of the road
The road thence passes about midway between
Brandywine and II. B., and enters Charles

surveyed, one having its terminus opposite
Aqua Greek, and the other about the mouth
OF Popos Creek. One OF these routes will be
settled upon next week, as the cor tractors,
who have tioished their work above, arc de-
srous of putting in for this job
The grading upon the Baltimore and Poto

THE NEWS FROM THE WAX IN EuROPE.-
No battle vet, and the reports" are somewhat
confused and contradictory, One dispatch has
it that both Metz and Nancy have been evac
uated by tho French. who, it is said, have
fallen back and now occupy the west bank OF
the Mosce, while another is, that the Emperor
still holds Metz. but that its abandonment is
CERTAIN Part of the Prussian forces, under the
Crown Prince, it is reported, occupied Nancy
on Saturday, and another part bombarded
Strasbourg on Friday and Saturday last With
'rcd hot shot, At the close of the second day S
bombardment the besleged are said to have
asked for d parIey, and were given forty eight
hours to decide whether they would surrender.
The armies of Prince Frederick Charles and
General Stenmez are reported to have formed
junction, aud the Headquarters OF the two
commanders are said to be at Foligpy, in a
direct line with Sssrbruc<, and within twenty
miles OF Metz. Marshal McMahon is reported
to hayo retrcated to Toul ten miles west OF
Nancy, which it is added Indicates that there
has been an advance OF the Prusslan army along
its entire line. and that it has succeeded 10
driving the French from their most important
line of defence along the Moselle river without
battle being fought The Courier DIES
Etats lnis, the French paper published in
New York has dispatch from Loodon giving
a report from St. Avoid, dated on Thursday
night, that the French army had been evac
uatius Metz for twenty.iou hours, with the
intention OF falling back upon It's principal line,
10 order TO be reinforced before delivering q
general engagement The Notifications of
Paris are nearly complete The Esparaucc, o
Nancy, states that after all the French soldiers
had left the city the Prussians took possession
on Friday evening at 4 clock, when the mayo
was orde, ed to present himself before the com
mander of the Prussian forces. The town wa
made TO pay 10000 francs, and requisltlon
were also issued for large quantities OF ration
and forage A Paris dispatch dated yesterda
says that on Saturday the French offered battl
10 the Prussians but they did not accept.
The dispatches are principally taken up wit
"surmises" Opinions extracts from the Loo
don ar14tls papers and conJecturcs OF corrcs- |
pondents and contain nothing definite or very
reliable.
It will be seen by our dispatches, this even |
ing, that the Emperor teleRraphs to the En.
press that the French have reI uisec the
Prussians with great loss to the latter, and that
King Williams also telegraphs to his Queen
that victorious combat has occurred near
Metz. Napoleon and the Prince Imperial
have gone to fight"
