1 Since our last issue there has been
some important and hardly contested
BATTLES. On Thursday there was fought
! what is generally called the battle of
Gravellotte, extending over the villages
Iof Mars La Tour, Flavigny, Vionville,
land Great and Little Gravellotte. One
observer speaking Of these villages after
the battle says they were badly burnt
and resembled slaughter honses. It was
a terrible battle at which there was
probably not less than 10000 killed and
wounded The French under Bazaine
were probably driven back to Metz and
separated from the army at Chalons
Details of this battle have not yet been
given, not even at Berlin
Since the battle of the 18th Bazaine
has been driven or gone out of Metz oia
Montmedy near the, Belgian frontier.
The object of the.move of Bazaine is ap-
parently to ro-establish his communica-
tons with Nc Mahon and the forces at
Paris. :, The Prussians are moving on
che interior lines, and having less dis
t.nce to travel will aim to prevent the
Junction of the two French armies. The
crown Prince, having abandoned the
move upon Paris is moving, in. the same
direction for the purpose Of keeping the
two French armies separate And it is
not improbable that the Prussian armies
will force Bazaine to an open field battle
or drive him out Of France.
The news last evening is very conflict
ing. It's said Mcmahon has united with
Bazaine and that they are ready to as
sumo the offensive. That Mcmahon is
strongly posted before Chalons. That
the Emperor is at Rheims. He waits
the opportunity to yictoriously
break the silence. The Emper-
or is at Mont Weldon. The Emperor is at
Montyeuon incognito. The Emperor has
committed suicide. From London the
news comes that Metz is isolated, that the
Prussians are strong west OF Metz, and
that Olivier is in Switzerland denounc-
the French Chambers for .betraying him.
Victor Hugo it is said has returned to
France in the uniform of the home
guards. The very latest is that Bazaine'
escape from Metz was not confirmed.

WISCONSIN CHEEsE.-The Utica Herald
is much exercised over the large number
of Cheese Factories in this State, and the
large amount made and shipped to the
eastern market. Their glory has de
parted and the market for their skin
milk cheese in the west is being supplied
by No. cheese from our own factories
In publishing the number of factories in
this State, it states that there are only 80
while in Kenosha county alone, there are
80, and in the State now in successful
operation there are 70. IL also feel.
gratified that we have cheese box factorie,
and other establishments for making
dairying furniture, and that we are moi
now obliged to bother them by supplying
Ius with the articles We can say to the
Dairymen of New York, that we car
make as, good cheese as they can, and
much cheaper, and that we have now tht
most extensive cheese box factory IN the
United States, and also for the manufac
turing of watts and other articles for thu
dairying business, and would be graft
fed to supply them with better article
than we ever purchased of them. w,
not only supply our own market, bu
ship cheese to all parts of thu
Union and to Europe. There is no state
better adapted to grazing and dairyine
than Wisconsin, and if the citizens of the
eastern states want a first class article O.
cheese they can always find it by pur
chasing Wisconsin cheese.
