Angust 12, 1870, 15? tf [Special to the New York Tribune.] Battle of GravololtoAt midnight or a little after, on tho 17lh and 18th, all tho trumpets, for miles around, begand to sound. This was tho first time wo hud l?r?or? start leu by such music. Trumpet answered to trumpet through ull the bivouacs around the little c ty. For several days previously there had been troops almost perpetually inarching through every street and by-way, making, between midnight and dawn, a perpetual roar. Hastily dressing, I went out into the darkness and managed to get a seat on a wagon that was going in the direction of the front, which was now understood to be a mile or two Jbeyond the village of CJoryo, some twelve miles from Po:it-a-Mousson. On our way we met a considerable batch of French prisoners, who ^were looked upon with considerable curiosity by the continuous line of German soldiers with whom we advanced. But one or two offensive cries toward tho prisoners were heard. The way was so blocked with wagons that I finally concluded I could do the six or seven miles remaining on foot better, so I got out Of my carriage and began to walk and run swiftlv At Mnnln.mt /-.r. <' ? ? ^ ...? ??. v AI1.VI1 ? *-/!! tnu Moselle, about half way to Moist, I found vast bodies of cavalry, Uhlans and Hussars crossing tho river by a pontoon bridge imd hurrying at the top of their speed toward (Jorge. Hurrying my own steps, I soon heard the Jirsl thunder of the cannonade, seemingly coming from thclicart of a range of hills on the right. Passing through the village and ascending the high plain bc3*ond, I found myself suddenly in a baltle field, strewn, liteva! ly, as far as my eyes could reach, with dead bodies. In one or two parts of the field companies were still burying the dead, chiefly Prussians. The French, being necessarily buried last, were still lying in vast numbers on the ground. A few of those I saw were not dead. Ah I followed a splendid regiment of cavalry came on behind, and when they reached the brow of the hill they all broke out with a wild hurrah imri dashed forward. A few more steps and I gained tho summit, and saw the scene which had evoked llieii cry and seemed to thrill even their horses. It would be difficult to imagine a grander battle field. TIIE SCENE OF HATTLE. From the hill to which I had been directed by good authority to come, the entire sweep of tho Prussian and French centres could be seen, and a considerable part of their wings. Th spot where I stood was fearful; it wan amid ghastly corpses and burdened with a stench of dead horses, of which there were great numbors. I was standing on the battle field of the lGth instant, and on the Prussian wide thereof. On the left stretched, like a silver thread, the road to Verdun, and to Paris also, for the possescinn r\f 4l%I? "n L - 1 * 1 ? ' 1 v? < uivii hii.-> nuuuaui UULIIUH UUCl begun. It ran between a line of poplars which stood against the horizon on my left, and on as f??r as tho eye could reach towards Metz. With military regularity, strung 011 this road, lileo bead#, were the pretty villages, each with its church tower, whfch although they havo separate names, arc only a few hundred yards apart. On mjr right wero the thickly wooded hills, behind which lies the most important village of the neighborhood, the one I had just loft, Gorgo. Ho environed was tho foreground of the uaiuc oi uraveiotte, i'or it was mainly over and beyond that devoted town that it ragcu. The area I havo indicated is, perhaps, four miles square. Owing to having come on foot rather than along the blocked road, I arrived just as the battle waxed warm, that is, about noon of the JSth. At that time the headquarters of the King of Prussia were at the spot I have described. WATCHING THE BATTLE. The great representative men and soldiers of Prussia were standing on tho ground, watching the conflict just begun. Among them, I recognized tho King, Count Bismarck, General von Moltke, Princo Frederick Charles, Prince Carl, Prince Adelbcrt and Adjutant Kronski. Lieutenant General Sheridan, of tho United States army, was also present. At this moment, tho French were making a most desperate effort to hold on to tho last bit of tho Verdun road?that between Jlozonvillo and Gravel otto or that part of Gravelottc which in sonio maps is callod St. JJarial? FIGHTING TWO TO ONE, Desporato but unavailing, for every one man in tho French ranks had two to copo with, and their lino was already beginning to waver. Soon it was plain that this wing of tho French right was withdrawing to a new position. This was swiftly taken up, undercover of a continous fire of their artillery from the heights beyond the village. MM.^ i 1 - * - - ' iHw iiiuvuiiioiiu was liiuue in goon order and the position reached at 1:30. I beliove nine military men out often would have pronounced it impregnable. When once this movement had been effected, the French retreated from the pressure of the Prussian artillory fire and tho Prussians as rap idly advanced. THE SCENE SHITTING. The battle field was no longor abonl Hezonvllte, but had been transferred and pushed forward to Grayelotte, the . junction of the two branching roads tc Vordun. Tho fields in front of thai villagj wero completely covered with Prussian reserves, and over it intemi nable lines of soldiers were perpetual ly marching Into the. village ahc emerging on the other side of it wit I I a flaming vollyThis second battle field was less ox tensivo than the first, and brought the opposing forees into fearfully clos< quarters. Tho peculiarity of it is that 1 itconsists of two heights intcracctcd by a (loop ravino. This woody ravine is over 100 loot deop and is at tlio top some 300 yards wide. The side of the ravine next to Gravclolte, whero the Prussians stood, is much lower than tho other side, which gradually ascended to a great height. FEARFUL SLAUCJIITKR. From their commanding eminence, tbo French held their armies beneath them and poured upon them a ccarcbing (ire. The French guns were in position far up tho Metz road, hidden and covered among the trees. There was not an instant's cessation of tbo roar. Family distinguishable among all was tho curious gruntm*; roll ol"! the mitral lours.' * The Prussian artillery was posted i to the north and south of the village, the guns on the latter side being necessarily raised for an awkward vertical firo, The French stood their ground and died by hundreds?1 had almost said by thousands; this for an hour or two that seemed ages so constant was the slaughter. The hill where I stood commanded chielly the conflict behind thevillago and to the south of it. PRUSSIANS I'OUUIKU IN. Tho Prussian rein fore omen ts coming up on their right filed out of the IJols des Ognous, and it was at that point, as they marched on to the field, that one could, perhaps, get the best idea of the magnitude of" this invading army now in the heart of France. | There was no break whatever for four linilfiJ in t lir? "I"""-'' ' ... uiuivu Ui IIIVJU Ulll/ U1 LIJi\L I woods. It seemed almost as if all the killed and wounded revived, came buck and marched forth again. Hirnamwood. advancing to Duhsinane Hill, was not a more ominous sight to Macbeth than these men of General Goeberg's army, shielded as they were by the woods until they were fairly within range and reach of their enemies. So the French must have felt, for between 1 and 5 o'clock they concentrated upon that spot their heaviest lire, mussing all available guns and shelling the woods which covered the ! Prussians unremittingly. Their shot | reached the bavarian lines and tore through them, and though they were steady, it was a test to which no general cared long to subject his troops. They presently swerved a ltttlc from their lino of advance, and there was no longer a continuous column of infanty pouring out of the woods. INTO THE JAWS OF DEATH. The attack of tho Prussians in the centre was clearly checked about 5 o'clock. However, nnothor brigade ofl fresh infantry was again formed in the | woods and emerged from its cover. Once out from under the trees, they advanced at double-quick. I watched their movement, for tho French guns had not lost the range of the wood nor of tlie ground iu front. Seen at a distance through a powerful glass, the brigade was a hugo serpent bending with tho undulations of tho fields, but it left a dark track behind it, and the glass rosolvcd tho dark track into falling and dying and dead men. As tho horrid significance of that path, so traced, came upon mo, I gazed more intently. Many of those who had fallen leaped up and ran forward a little nuj , ointiii^ iv.lll IU gU Willi lllCirl comrades. Of these who went backward instead of forward, there were a j few, though many fell as thej"pai?;iully endeavored to follow the advance. I do not know whether, after the vain ofTort of that brigade, another movement was attempted. ANOTIIEX MOVEMENT. From within tlio road, but half an hour afterwards, greater numbers of troops began to march over the hill where I was standing, and moved forward toward the field, whero bo hard a struggle had bocn so long protracted. j 11 csc aiso were a portion ot General (Jobcin's troops, who hail been directed upon a loss dangerous route. The conflict from this point, on tho Prusrian left, become so ficrcc that it was soon lost to us, or almost lost, by reason of tho smoke. Now and then tho thick cloud would opon a little and drift away on tho wind, and then wo could boo the Frcncli. I tried to got a better view of this part of the field. I went forward about half a mile from my new stand-point and found myself not far from Malmaison. Tlio French line on the hills was still unbroken'and to all appearances they wero having the best of the battle. But this appoaranco was duo, perhaps, to the fact that the French were more clearly visiblo in their broad height and lighting with such singular obstiuacy. They plainly silenced a Prussian battery now and then; but the Prussiau liuo was also strcngthed by degrees on this northern point. The infantry and artillery wore brought up, and from far in tho rear, seemingly in the direction of Vionvillc, shot and shell began reaching tho Frenchmen. STEINMETZ IN TIIE FIELD. TheBO were the men and these were tho guns of General Steinmetz, who there and then effected his junction with the army of Prince Frederick Charles, and compelled the investment of Metz to the northwest. "With reinforcements thus continually arriving on Ilflt.il t.lm Kottln ??"> ?r> ? ?"" VMV M4'ut,v B'uiui u and more obstinate. There could be eodoubt tho Ercncli understood the meaning of tho new movements of the Prussians and of the gradual development of their line to tbo north. Steinmetz was able to extend his ; line gradually, furthor and further, I until the French were outflanked and > began to bo threatened, as it appoar> ed, with an attack on tho rear of their i> right wing. So long as tho smoko of i tho Prussian guns hovered only ovo* their front, the Fronoh olung to their positions. The distanco from head-, I quarter? to where tho Prussian flank l attack .stretched forward was great, and, toaddjto the cliifftoulty pf clearly - seeing the progress of the battlej 'darki ness was comingon. > I knpw not how long tlio French t light out. nor at wbatprecjso moment 1 \71J\J tho Prussian onset bccamo irresistible. What L naw was this: Tlio puffs of oitioke from Llio French guns mingled with tho Hashes, brightening as the darkness increased and receded gradually. The'vory serious pillars of cloud and flames from tho went asgrudually and (steadily approached, and with that advance the French Ifrc bceamcevery moment more slack. It was not far from 9 o'clock when this ground was yielded finally on the north, and the last shots fired on that terrible evening were heard in thut direction. EFFECT L'l'ON KINO WILLIAM. The King's fiiee, as he stood gazing upon the battle, field, had something almost plaintive in it. He hardly said ;i word, but i observed that his atlention was divided between tlie cxciting secncs in the distance and the dismal scene nearer his feet, when they were just beginning what must yet bo a long taslc?to bury the French who I fell on the Tuesday before. On them ho gazed silently and I thought sadly. Count Iiismack couhl not conceal his excitement and anxiety. Jf it had not been for the King the Count would clearly have gone forward where the fighting was. His towering form was always a little in advance of the rest. TIIE END. AVhen the French completely gave up their hold upon the road to Gravclootte, the horses of the headquarters were hastil}' calicd and mounted. They all, with the King at their head, dashed down to a point noi very far Iroio Lite village. Then shouts and cheers arose and followed them whenever they passed. TI1K PRUSSIAN* LOSSES. liONitON*, August 23.?(Special to the Xcw York World).?Creditable authorities assure me that Btcinmclz and Frederick Charles lost over 100,000 men, leaving them no moro than 150,000 to hold their line from the frontier to Metz. The feeling in Berlin is of undeniable horror and depression. The war threatens to last, and already the flower of North Gormony is decimated. The railways arc taken up with the wounded so as to delay the movement of reinforcements. Interviewing the Crown Prince. j French Newspaper Correspondents at their Work ? The Prince on the Battle of Worth. Anions the French who full into | the hands of tho Prussians after the battle of Worth were two correspond-1 ents of the Paris press, M. Henri Chabrillart, of the Figaro, and M. CJardon, of the Guulois. Each of these gentlemen has published an account of his adventures. At Sotilz they wore brought into the presence of the Crown Prince, and the interview is thus described by M. G'habrillart: I confers I am very much embarrassed. If I draw a flattering portrait of the Prince, it will ho snwl ihnf. I I am sold to 1 lie Prussians; if I draw an unfavorable picture of him, to gratify any malevolent passion, I shall be guilty of injustice and falsehood. 1 am a reporter, which means a kind of photographer. I shall therefore simply and truly state what I saw and what was said. Those who may be j dissatisfied with my account must deal with the Prince themselves. It is not my fVuilt that ho is human. Would to Heaven that all Germans were like him; but, unfortunately, it is not so. Prince Frederick William, heir to the crown of Prussia, is a man of tall stature, thin, with a calm and placid countenance; but in the curve of his aquiline nose and dilating nostrils there are evidences of energy, | while the rapidity of his glance convinces you of his decision. A full, fair beard softens the somewhat stern expression of his features. He has great simplicity of manner, and affects rather a kind of bourgeois stylo of speaking, thinking, and general behaviour.
