New York, Sept. l4.-The London
Telegraph describes the unwilling of the
Victoria column on the anniversary Of the
capitulation of Se1sn. The correspondent
says: g@
At s O'Clock the trumpeters of the Impe-
rial garde du corpse, stationed on the roof
of the Royal Cssefe, sounded forth Choir
ale, "Honor Alone to God on High''-"Al-
lien Got in der Hob sci Ehr"-thus cbarsc-
teristically and in keeping with the Prus-
sian devotional feeling beginning the day
with kind of religious act. Shortly after
ward the whole garrison of Berlin was
marched to Koenigslartz, with bands play
ing and colors displayed, to take
up positions round the Victo-
ria monument. The members
Of the royal family now began to arrive,
and the pavilion was soon filed. Thunders
OF. cheering from the Theergarten, followed
by the hoarse commands OF officers and
clashing of muskets and ssbers, as the troops
come to "attentionP' signalled the approach
of the Emperor, who Immediately after
wards rode up to the paEillionj attended by
brilliant staff and was received with the
Prussian anthem and general salute. I'M
mediately behind him rode the Grown
Prince, whilst slightly to the resr of the
present aud future Emperors rode the
Princes Frederick Charles, Albrecht and
Karl. During q full half hours wait for
the arriva of sll these royalties Prince Bis
maTck had been sitting alone outside the in
closure. When the Emperor arrived, how
ever, the Imperial Chancellor, riding for
ward, received his sovereign's hearty greet
ing, and took his place in the Enperor's
stsff immediate following. After saluting the
royal lad es, bis Majesty rode round the
pavilion and halted his charger little to
its right, Immediately opposite the
c'ergy. Then raising his sword he
gave the signal for the trumpet to sound
and the drums to beat to praises. This
done, the choir sang two verses OF the
hymn commenting "praise and honor to
the Highest" Directly afterward, the roy
al body chaplain pronounced short prayer,
the Emperor's staff and the whole garrison
remaining uncovered. And then, though
the sun was shining fercely at the time, the
chaplain preached q short sermon having
for its subject the glorious military achieve
ments, in honor Of which the monument had
been erected. Again the trumpets sounded,
the drums rolled, Field Marshal Won
Room doffed his plumed casque, and bowing
down to bis sadtle bow, requested the EN-
peror to authorizs the unvailing of the me-
mortal. His Majesty bent bis h:ad, waved
his sword, and the nantes enveloping the
pedestal and pillared ball from which the
column springs dropped to the north aud
revealed the whole structure.
Description of the Column.
The column is ornamented by three coli
ors of captured cannon, highly gilded and
ornamented by gilt links. These trophies
are respectively Danish, Austrian and
French guns, captured in tae three great
campaigns of 1864, 1866 and 1870. The
monument contains representations in all of
one bundled and ninety-four Prussian and
German victories in these three great cam
paigns.
At the moment when the drsperies fell,
the bands struck up the national anthem.
The troops presented arms and gave out
three ringing cheers, while the artillery OF
the guard fred salute Of hundred and
one guns, and all the church bells in Berlin
rang out joyous peal. The Cathedral
choir then, accompanied by the bands of the
Imperial Guard and the Grenadiers, sang
the chorSle, "Nun Danket ALE Gott."
While these devotional words were sung,
the Emperor, the troops and the Immense
multitude Of spectators present listened,
bareheaded, in profound silence, and pre-
sented an Impressive spectacle.
Extraordinary OvatiOas.
His majesty next proceeded to minutely
inspect the troops, greeting the regiment as
he rode up its front rank with hearty
good morning, to which the men replied
with thoussnd-voicei power, "Good
morning, your Majesty" In and out of
the triple lines rode the heroic old monarch,
cheered enthusiastically as he passed each
tribune in turn, or approached The dense
masses of the populace, hedging on the Ko-
nigspiatz. But the most electrifyfBg popu-
lar ovation of the day was that accorded to
Pr.nce Bismarck, who, as he cantered round
in suit, bis hand to his helmets brim and
his face lighted up by a stern smile, was
greeted with such cheering as was never
before heard in Germany. Ladies sp.ang
upon benches and waveI their hSndker-
cneifs, blending a shrill, piercing upward
note with tie tenor shout and bass roar of
frantic chorus of cheers that burst from
two hundred thousand throats, as the au-
thor Of Germany's unity and champion
Of her state rights rode proudly by
the greatest man OF his the mighty serv-
at of noble master, the living and sc-
knowledged leader of the whole German
race. 1t was a great day for Germany, a
greater for Prussia, but greatest of all for
Otto Won Bismarck, whose reward has been
proclaimed unmistskAbly by German lips
from the very depths of the German heart.

MADRID, Sept. 15.-The leauers of Car

cure the cooperation of the Carlists in their
efforts to raise the seige of that city. They
have made propositions to the Carlists to
attack the Republicans in the rear while
the basieged make sortie. 1t is not known

sort has deprived the Insurgents of all pub
