I shook the dust of the Frankfuter Wald off my feet at the romantic little forest lodge:of Niederaad (converted for the nonce into an extramural station on tho Hesseâ€"Ludwigsâ€"Bahu), where, in very exâ€" cellent:compary, 1 had the pleasure of waitin uuri;ntwo hours for tgn clearing of t.hoimc, encumbered with forage trains cattle trains, trains full of dr& and long strings of ©"empties" ing back northwards for fresh freights of food, for powder and the countless impedimenta of an army in the field. ‘The quiet, cosy sil van nookâ€"normally wrapped in profound silence, only broken from time to time by the report of a rifle from the neighboring practising ground, or the rumble, screech, and clatter of a train whirlng through the green woods that enfold Sachseuhansen in their leafy embrace, and are the pride of the wealthy Frankfort burgessesâ€"was disâ€" turbed from its wonted tranquility by the: shnll whistting of lorgâ€"bodied, {xungry lookin‘gl;ingines, darting up and down the entan lines, dragging â€" superfluous itrucks into sidings, projecting several morâ€" sels of trains towards one another, pufting, hissing, and lqueukin(g‘;o‘ng dum:if squeaks as of gigantic pigs in di pain or fearâ€"in lhomviag.m sentinent things of wonderful intelligence but fretful temperament, imensel{ unpressed with the im of their mission, and aniâ€" mated {; ‘a burning desire to fulfll it, but utterly unable to refrain from expressing, in the fussiest manner, their determination not only to "do their level best," but to force their feverish activity upon the notite of everybody around. " Distracted was Nieâ€" deraad, moreover, byâ€"the blowing of horns, thie.clashing of coupling trains the impaâ€" tient stammping of chargers in their boxe the ‘unaccustomed chatter of a thounnn voices, strife for beer and Leberwurst round the |marketenderin‘s atall, the crackâ€" ifil:;g::f 'q wt.ge ui:uund: i ppeniteq men urging their ow â€"«pirited horses _ through _ the ‘shady â€" glades that lead ifrom <the chaussee through the wood to the: line of railway I had directors with meâ€"men in whose stern presence porters trembled, and the pride of guards was humbled in the landâ€" men to whom even the flrovislonnl' station master, exalted above all ordinary mortals, spoke with baz.‘lobmth and cap in hand â€"men who, in the cause of their waiting fellowâ€"creatures, nobly blew up everybody connected with the .service of the comâ€" pany, and evén climbed oter trucks to do so with a devotion to the public interest that should havé awakened the liveliest gratitude in the breast of every‘ person present, and doubtless® would have done so had it produced any manifest result in the way of accelerating our departure. At any fate, we got ‘under way at last ; .and ‘were far too thankful e6nsidering! the preâ€" sent state of railway communication m Bouthern Germany, at being enabled to get away at all, to think of grumbling at a couple of hours‘ diverting detention by a pleasant woodside. . in one of the trains shunted off into a sttjin: to make way for: us were about adozen dragoons of the 5th, sent back toFfankfort in charge of woundâ€" ed and sick belionging to that regiâ€" ment. /‘ From(the non.commissioned officer commanding |the aetachment 1 learned that part of the 5thâ€"at least half a ktl:d ron of the t Markish mtâ€"hn en in action on the frontier, lost three horses, and that its quarterâ€"master bhad been put A rs de combat ; that the Prussian cavairy horses of the division to which the 5th is attached had not hitherto. suffered at all from sore backs ; â€"and that the army was well provided in every respect, and in â€"exuberant spirits. ‘The men were burnt a deep brown nlthofl\:{h they had only been ‘sfortuight in the field, lng they complainâ€" )althu‘uuhuthld.bnndurin‘ the past week almost unbearable, _ © . % The flat districts between Frankfort and Mayence, skirting the Maine, is altogether devoid of picturesque : features, and offers but one remarkable object to the travelâ€" ler‘s e{:â€"thn object,| indeed, being only remarkable by reason of its uniqheness. It is a windmill o£small dimensions â€"to the best of my belief the only structure of its kind in the territories of Hesse and Nassau,. The ermbouchure of the Maine is, as you know, nomin«lly protected by some small. earthworks and. a tiny redoubt, which are outworks, as it were, of the un: important fortifications of Castel, ‘These are / just now, armed, jand manned ; but I : venture: to < ‘predict «they will â€"â€" never be : seriously _ de: ferided against an enemy. in possession of Mayence. ©From the graceful ~railway bridge crossing the Rhine may be seen two out of the three toon bridges thro-z‘ across ‘:;d river p:;: the conveyance troo some E:y-oi is being mu;' to counstruct n:: at Weissenau, above Mayence, where a military camp has been formed. The beautifal gTden comâ€" monly known as the " Nene! Anlage." adorning the left bank of the railway line just qutside the castellated town . gate, is condemned, . with the â€" surrounding acacias and lindens, to utter‘annihilation. _ They are to be left intact till the last momentâ€" thus much have the military authorities conceded wtboprm oflh.l-anoai-; but should the Prussian army comâ€" Lrflod to retreat upon Mayence, and a deâ€" lence of the great fortress against the fence of the great fortress against the French become imminent, they will be un hesitatingly sacrificed. _ Already have the favorite promenades of the town suftered mutill:tion in the matter of trees, which will scarcely be remedied under a couple of decades. â€" The citizens, however, bear their troubles with .admirable temper, and are as enthusiastic about the war as if, inâ€" stead of minin(f their tradeâ€"a vyery luoraâ€" tive oneâ€"and difiguring their beloved town it were f;:::: wboloh a iigflyo}luhblo enâ€" ri with promise perity. mip the more orediublotolz: in as much u‘ms:g of them are wealthy people wholose much by the interruption of busi ness, and‘ have nothing particular to gain by the triumph of Prussia. Also, because Mayence has never been Prussian in feelâ€" ] ing ; indeed it used to be counted, not so long agoypas one ofthe recalcitrant cities boloné? to the same category as Frankâ€" fort, But in the present quarrel, Mayence, as well as the lastâ€"named hcniq:r.’un of Frondizm, has manifested feelings of the most ardent German patriotism, and has thrown itself heart and hand into the cause oi which His Majesty KinLWilwn' is the defender. It should not be forgotten that these two generous> cities . have m?phed ample refreshment at the expense 0 their burgesses to every individual soldierâ€" of the enormous armies which for twelve days have been g through their i ; nor that I.lri:‘:;dy proof of m E“‘"“." the defenders of Germany has voluntarily organised and carried out by their leading men, who have not only contributed their substance but their time to carrying out their benevolent intenâ€" Advance of the German Army. _ By great good fortune, my journey hither from Mayence was arranged within a fow ?mut;;fw arrival in the latter town o ever appeared to me so wildi lbprm:ubw i hnIpm its w inoeptia’: -didflnb:x had set nr.l!cn {;nrhd Frankfort.

The whole country rounii is ewarming with soldiers, Prussian, Bavatian, and Saxon. _ All the pretty fll?‘gn Of the wine district through which I p«ssed yesterday on my ~way hither, (from |Niersteia‘ to Worms, are thronged with troops ‘of all arms. _ Batâ€" talions of infantry were being exercised in their market places, packs of artillery were disposed ‘in Aields by the roadside, columns of Chasseurs were toiling along the heated chaussees towar is the scene of proximate action. â€" As ] left tho station to seek for temporary quarters, 1 met fwo regiments of the Guard (Konig Wilhelm and Kaiser Alexander) on their march from the other side of the Rhine to join the armi¢s of the Prince. Splendid look ':::non,‘at lfih}t half of .t:eir number. in the prime of life, bearded like assppers, and decorated with onge or more warâ€" medals. . Subsequently 1 drove over 10 Mannbeim, where I stayed all the ervening and a great part of the night. That pretty little town is converted into an. enormous barrack, and its population ‘has been com: w&ely swamped by a deluge of uniforms, ‘ithin the last twelve hours more than 20,000 men of the Guard alone have jeftii with bands plsying and, "columnsof cho ruses‘‘â€" amongst other regiments,: those bearing the names of Komgin Luise and Kaiserin Elizabeth,. There are still two betâ€" talions of Chasseurs\iand about 8,000 Of the line in billets and barracks, waiting orÂ¥rs to march, which will probably be iss2ed this evening. ‘The spectacle afforded by the night march of the Guards, which 1 wit nessed at a very late hour, was in the high est degree ini!:r.ssivv. The main street of Mannheim is not unlike the Alameda at Malaga or the Terazia at Belgradeâ€"a b doubleâ€"paved road, piereed by a (mled l\'ei)ul:,.hordercd omeither side with young chesnut treesâ€"the paved part of the stréet being dimly lighted by gasâ€" lamps at long intervals, and the architec ture of the houses exhibiting every variety of G mapner, fi_-o:? the gebbed roof of enormous h<ight, with three. rows of windows gleaming out from amongst its shingles, to the modern, aqu::..wwhiun flat topped house, as prosaic .as n e, and as ugly as a Nassau peasant. Looking out ‘from a window ~of one of these utilitarian buildings about midnight, 1 became aware of.ddfmbueing sound, creeping onwards from afar througsa the still town, and waxing lowdler every second. Presently it defined itself into the sharp, rapid beating of drums, so rapid indead that at haif a mile‘s distance there seem ed to.be no intermissin o{ its clamour. mark of the present létter, Thus far, therefore, into the bowels of the land have I procem#ied having encountered but few of the checks and persecutions to which the would be chronicler of battles are exposed by the somewhat arbitrary decrees of. the French and « Prussian _ Chiefs d Etat Major. ~About thirty miles from this town And â€"as it | aswept. . forward, the fan tic leaven: of _ the fife becoming M to the ear with . painâ€" 1 ness, â€" another ‘sound, _ still more ominous and imposing, swelled, as it were, ap above it, .and finally surged over it, stifling tho drum‘s blatant and threatening voice under an avalanche of heavry, measured footsteps.
