fense, and New Mode Of Warfare.
New YORK, August Ia cable special
to the Herald, dated London, August l.,
states that preparations for war on the part
of Prussia are being carried on with great
activity. Trenches have been opened two
leagues from Cologne.
An entrenched camp has been established
in the triangle formed by Cologne, Coblent&
and Treves.
A fine park in Cologne, and the magnifi-
cent chateau of the banker Opperheim,
have been raised.
Mayence is in a state Of siege, and is oc.
cupied by $4,000 soldiers.
trenches have been opened in front of the
city, and persons unable to provide
themselves with six weeks provisions, have
been notified to depart. A large force is
encamped on the heights of Saint Hubert,
overlooking the valley of the Nahe, which
will protect an important group of coal
mines at that place, and command the
junction of the railroad from Bingen-Bruck
to Landau. Large rafts are descending the
Rhine at all hours with provisions and mil
itary munitions between Mayence and
Coblentz, and formidable amount Of war
material and an immense body Of troops
have been collected. In consequence of new
instructions from the war Office, there will
be an entire change of tactics. Henceforth
there will be no open campaign. The tao
tics will be similar to those hitherto en-
ployed in siege. The advance will be un-
der cover of entrenchments. The Rhine
provinces are being covered with improved
works.
The country between Coblentz and May
ence is entirely cut up in this fashion. This
new system of defense requires a new mode
Of attack, hence the delay of the French
advance.
Prussian corps have been stationed at
Curtain to Black Forest.
The principal forces are concentrated IN
triangular section of the country, formed by
the rivers Rhine Moselle and Saar. Tho
last two rivers form the line of defense.
The left rests on the Rhine, near Landau;
and the right stretches to the Moselle, near

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY, AUGUST g. 1870
GEENRAL FRANZ SIGEL ON THE PO-
SITION OF THE HOSTILE ARMIES.
TFrem the New York Times.


The following is General Franz Sigel's
view on the position of the hostile armies:
''First, the question must be answered:
were the Prussians, when war was declared
by Louis Napoleon as well prepared as the
French to commence operations on large
scale beyond the Rhine? If they were, or
if they are SO now, it is probable that they
have commenced a great movement from
the river Saar in order to interrupt the
emburg, to force the enemy to
give battle, and in case of victory,
to isolate Metz, which ranks as first
class fortress, and to take Nancy, and
at the same time to check an invasion
of South Germany, intended by the French,
from Strasburg via Kehl. Ii they were
not fully prepared, the question arises
whether they can reach the line of the Saar
(Treves, Saar-louis and Saarbruck), in order
to oppose to the advancing French the first
impediment, or whether they will be forced
to have their masses in readiness on the
Rhine, between COblentz and Mannheim, in
order to break forth at the right moment or
to receive the enemy on the right (eastern)
bank of the river. From these points of
view it may be expected that the first great
encounter of the hostile armies will take
place either near Metz or between the Saar
and MOselle rivers, or between the Saar
and Rhine rivers; otherwise, as stated be-
fore, the Prussians will be unable altogether
to meet the French invasion on the left twest-
ernl bank of the Rhine Such being the case,
it would be possible for the French to COM
mence a large movement from Strasburg
and Mulhausen agaist Germany, and to re-
pulse the South German forces in an eastern
| and northern direction. In this case the
| Prussans would be obliged to rally their
main forces, according to the time left them,
| either on the Murg, Neckar, or Main river.
| in order to meet the shock. But, as stated
before. such a chance will not be offered to
the French, if their enemies succeed in gath.

the whole available army, and offers excel

COsT OF COLLECTING TAXEs-A Wash
ington special to the Cincinnati Gazette
says:
In answer to the statements that the cost
of collecting the income tax will nearly
equal the whole amount collected, the
Treasury Department furnishes informa-
tiou that the whole cost of collecting the
entire internal revenue tax, including the
income tax, viii fall short of seven millions
of dollars. and that the collection of the in
come tax for the year 1870 will add but little
to the cost of collecting internal revenue
taxes assessed upon other objects of taxa
ton. 1t will add something, to the fees of
collectors, and few days labor and pay to
those deputy assessors who reside in
wealthy % districts from which this revenue is
derived. and that is ALL The additional cost
to that which would have been paid to as
SCISSORS and collectors, had there been no
such tax assessed, viii Rot exceed two per
cent, or two hundred thousand dollars in
all.

The Ga rdner.Burke Bond Case.

Mrs. Burke, the daughter of the late Cap
tain Alexander, who died in New York
some months since, at the house of the
Gardners is certainly perseverng woman.
The New York Herald, of Wednesday, says:
The public will recollect the case of the
sudden death of Captain Alexander, OF New
Orleans, at the residence of an ex-police-
man named Gardner, and the subsequent
litigation in the courts, which resulted in
Mrs. Burkes claims as the heirat-law
being established. For some days the case
has disappeared from public view, but addi-
tional interest is likely to be taken in it
from circumstances that occurred last eve
ming.
About seven o'clock last evening detectives
Woodbridge and Eustace, of the Central Po-
lice office, proceeded to the residence OF Mrs.
Esther A. Gardner, and her daughter, Mrs.
Carrie G. Graft, and arrested them on the
charge of grand larceny, in that they stole
the property of Captain Alexander. The
officers were armed with a bench warrant,
issued by Recorder Hackett. The ladies
We're taken to police headquarters, where,
by order of District Attorney Garvin, they
were permitted to see their counsel, Judge
Beebe, who will offer bail to-day on behalf
OF the accused.
