Here the Prussians and and Bavarians had pushed forward in strng force, and their ure bhad i9 d fearâ€" fully upon the &ench. The hign spirit and rigid discipline of the one army had been move than a match for the desperate resistance of the other, Whole companies of Frenchmen had been mowed down in their wild attempts to check the enemy‘s advance. It had been a tolerably equal fight in some place, for the ground was ltreweg with German dead ; but more and ' +A h""mhfl field while the deid ! s ill lay unburied on the trampled groun‘d4, an | could form a goed notion of how the fight had gone by the ghastly evidences | wauch remiined. Worth is «t the bottom | Of a fertile valley, between two ridges of cultivated ground. There is much of woded land in the neighborhood ; and especially behind the Frenth position or the western side of the valley, there is a strip of forest which forms a cover for re.â€" treating troops. _ _ 625 «* The little river Bruder, not big enough in ,oummom to float #% skiff, flows through the villige, and a highroad comes winding down toward the village on the eastern side of the valley, flanked tgrt’reec. Here was the iin position. tchâ€" ing far to right and le‘t Jlong this road were hearl of spiked b men:s to be seen ; and cart loads of neeule,.gzuns were colâ€" lected under the trees. At u distance the French musketry fire had told more heavily than the German ; and I heard that the French artillery had been very well served. # We cannot conclude without again exâ€" pressing the gratification : we have felt in seeing so many Americarf gentlemen of \ part in an enterprise w we trust may P con‘e bene .ts upon them as well as upon us, and .orm oae more link in the commerâ€" cial union which ought to exist between the two countries. a 042 With the substitution of Burlington for Ottawa the advice of our Ottawa contemâ€" ?onryhu io‘d for : this , community as or that to wh.ch it was addressed, and it may well be extended.indeed, to almust every NeW England centre of trade. | From the Burlington (Vt.)

A fhll report of the‘ meeting. in aid of the Caughnawaga Ship Canal, held at the | Capital of whe Dominion of Can«da on Wednesday last, will be found in our colâ€" | umns toâ€"day,. It was an important meet: | ing because the enterprise it was intended | i0 aid is a most important one ; and also. because it is important that two neighbor. | ing {)eoples like those of Cinads# and of the United States, should understand each other ; should see eye to eye in mitters of common interest ; and should live in peaceé and mutual good will. To such harâ€" mony and mutual 3001 understanding such mectings as this, which might almost have been called an internationgl une, from_ | the number ind weight of the interest reâ€" presented from the two countries, cannot but contrivuue largely. The| tone and spirit of the meeting cin be gathered from tKo report. ‘Ihe necessity for the canal grows in the mind of every man whoseattenâ€" tion is drawn to the suvsject. We copy and endorse the, words of the Ottawa Daily Times, in its comments on the meeting It says : 9 Enough has been written and said to convince any one, eren the most skepti of the advant iges which the oonnrgzl" of the Caughnawaga Canal would confer upon Ottawa and its vicinity. They are so obvious as to be impossible to dispute, and in fict they are generally admitted by all. â€" But the péople of Ottaw»a must not suppose that they can quietly ;it by and see the enterprise carried out by e capitalists only without lending a hol;fi:: bhand.. It ( is true that some of our lige manufactuâ€"| rers and dealers are the men who are most | , directly interested in the matter, but still |. it must be borne in ‘mind that, anything | which promotes: the prosperity is certain | , to conduce to the welfare of the entire | , community also. If a man cannot afford | to take a large number of shares in the | enterprise, let him do what he can, reâ€" | , membering that every share taken helps | | to bring ne«rer the day when the work | shall be accomplished. _ > { THE BATTLE OF WORTH. n n e sttR fistt ntainieed hestsA io Inci ns vetistise t Wikinesc>~ re:kfast on board, received many courteâ€" sies from Capt.

The Uttawa .s among the lirgest of the lordly rivers of Canada,. and the ride down to Montre:1 was full of interest; but our. space fails us for toâ€"day, » At 6 o‘clock the Directors of the cinal company and the delegiates from New Engâ€" land, nearly forty in number, were the guests of the citizens of Ottawa, at a din ‘ner at the Russell House. As there had been a good deal of talking done in the afternoon, set speeches were omitted. The 6 itertainment was a handsome one, and t 1+ interchange of social feeling pleasant and doubtless profitable. Next morning the party started for home by way of the Ottawa river. We took the good steamer FVictoria at 7 o‘clock ; had Â¥e us new views of the extent of the f:mber trade of the Ottawa. â€" We had supâ€" posed that if Canada had any‘ difficulty it was not in its lumber region ; but after in specting these mighty m.lf-, we could easily understand the possibility of a stricâ€" ture from the inadequacy: of the existing avenues of transportation, and the need of the Caughnawaga canal to bring relief. _ Passing over the river, we examined with greit interést the millof E.

Mr. Eddy‘is a Vermonter, who started a match factory in Barlington fourteen years ago; had to fight Buit:[:)n some of his paâ€" tents, and fina.ly gave up the effort to es tablish his busin:ss at Burlington.
