Alsaoe and Lorraine.

Tho Now York Herald of tho 30tb
ultimo says We print this morning
a letter from our staff of correspond
cnts in Alsace and Lorraine, giving
an exact narrative Of singular events
now transpiring in that renowned and
interesting country. Our letter, or
rather report, is condensation OF
many reports gathered by correspond
ehts in different parts of the territory,
rescrving SO much of the narrative as
might be interesting toAmerican read
ers, and presenting it in a narrative
and historical torn. nnu ccrpain,y
few chapters in the marvellous history
of this romantic century will be read
with the interest which attaches to
tho story of the exodus from Alsaoe
and Lorraine. H'. ap
1t would be folly TO approach ques-
tion of this moment with any of those
sentimental feelings which many OF
our statesmen apply TO foreign poll
tics, and especially to the relations
between France and Germany. We
may denounee the Germans as tyrants
and ridiculc the French as an effemi-
nata and dying race. We should be
unjust in either judgment. The Ger
man nation cannot be dismissed with
the sentence We should pass upon tho
Romans who burned Jerusalem, or the
Turks who destroyed the Library Of
Alexandria. Nor can we call nation
that has shown the activity and fnan-
cial strength of France an cfieminatc
race. The Germans are astonishing
Europe by their skin in war, their en-
terprise in peace, just as France has
again and again astonisbed Europe in
more auspicious epochs of her history.
The American people have watched
with solcitudc and qualification tho
various steps by which the house Of
Hohenzolorn has made Prussia one of
the great Powers of the world and
bound around its throne all tho ele-
ments ofthe fatherland The patience,
the courage, the veracity, the fore.
sight, the prudence, the incxorable
and widely-reaching discipline and
drill, the sagacity to adopt every

profound respect BY the multitudes that
thronged the sidewalks. Thousands OF
