METZ. Sept S-To-day's military operations
consisted in n great battle along the line of
the stream OF the French Med. Tho grand
event Of the day was a brilliant charge led by
the Emperor. under the command of Gen.
Count Won Haeseer. down q steep slope from
Caligny and up the opposite hill toward Mont
against the Bavarian division.
The charge was a splendid spectacle. but
critics declare that in real warfare such q
charge would have resulted in a terrible mas
sacre and that no commander would thus ex-
pose cavalry nowadays. even In a fororn hope.
After tho battle the Emperor assembled the
officers for his usual critique.
The battle was fought on n line parallel to
tho great action OF Aug. IA. 1870. between Co
lumbey and Neullly. but eight miles further
from Metz.
