ON THE BATTLE F1E1D.-A traveller who lately visited the battlefelds of Woerth and Gravelotte, writes to us to say, that the carnage on those occasions has been much underrated in England, and perhaps Intentionally misrepresented in Germany. The field of Gravelotte occupies from five to six English mics in length. The tombs, or rather trenches, are scattered all over this extent per haps fifty in one grave may be a fair es- innate. In one, however, immediately facing the French right wing at St. Pri- vat, there were inferred 2,5OO corpses, and of these only twenty-five were French. Multiply 2,000 by ten and one may arrive at an approximately correct account of the German dead at Grave lotte alone. The statistics are from Prussian authority, or rather from infor- nation given by Prussian soldiers in charge of the graves. Possibly, says our correspondents, quarter of 8. mill lion of lives on all sides from sword dis ease and various causes were sacrificed in the late war.-PdN .AfuN Gdsette.'F

RAINS OF FIRE AND B1ooD.-In the south of the Ocean those rains known as rams of fire and blood, about which our ancestors were so deeply superstitious, still sometimes occur. Those who have had the opportunity of witnessing them state that the illusion is complete. On one occasion it is recorded that the sun was setting in an almost cloudless sky, ; while in the east there were thick and sombre clouds in the zenith, however, the sky retained all it's purity. Suddenly a storm burst, and it appeared as if a fiery rain was falling, the sparks being on the point of setting the world in flames. No sooner had the sun set be- hind the horizon than this scintillating and brilliant appearance was transformed into a deep red, bearing a strong re- semblance to blood This singular phe- nomenon, considered by the ancients as the Epresage of terrible misfortunes, is merely owing to the reflection of the solar rays of light at 8 certain angle of incidence. - Cdsseps "Wustrdted Tkap- eLs o

successfully through an Apache campaign,-coming
out with head as bare as baby's-foot(e)- were

there by Sam, who had left orders to let no one get
morse out OF the stable. They then, however, exc

about 6 O'Clock, Mr.. Weatherhorn, who resides at
No. 500 King street, found a colored youth con-
cea,ed In a closet In a room on the second story
OF the house. The intruder had evidently Just
established himself in his cosy quarters for the
purpose OF ransackiug the house, when the IN
mates might be all asleep. He was dragged forth
and turned over to a policeman, and duly made
his appearance before the Mayor yesterday m orn'
M. Afser q short hearing, be was held for
further examination. This Is o favorite and lazy
method among thieves, which dtspenses with the
noise attending the breaking into q house, and
accounts for many robberies where the mode, OF
tngress seemed 10 be a matter of profound mys'
tery.
