Their announcement will appear in our issue

stolen Horse Recovered.
We understand that the horse stolen from
the stable of Mr. Charles II. Whitten, black
smith, on the Augusta and Winthrop road,
has been recovered in IJangor. It seems
that the thieves—there are two of them—
came from Boston with a stolen horse; that
at Augusta they stole Mr. Whitten's horse,
turning the other one out to grass, and pro
ceeded to Bangor; t^fat at Bangor they let
loose Mr. Whitten’s horse and stole another.
The owner ol the Bangor horse followed the
villians to the vicinity of Lincolnvillc, where
he found his horse, and also the thieves
asleep under the wagon. Being alone he
went to seek for help, and upon returning
saw that the thieves had taken to the woods,
and so they have escaped. A sojourn by the
seaside, at Thomuston would be eminently
proper for them.
Tallorand and Louis Philllppe Bobbing Around.
It may not be generally known by the pres
ent generation, that Talleyrand, the brilliant
and celebrated Frenchman, visited Augusta
and Ilallowell, in 1794. Mr. North, in his
forthcoming History ot' Augusta, says during
the progress of the French Revolution, Tal
leyrand was obliged to flee to England, and
even there it was too hot for him. He took
passage in a ship which landed him at \\ is
cassct, and visited the scat of Government at
Philadelphia. He came to Hallowed in com
pany with a young Frenchman, and brought
a letter to Col. North, who was nbsetrt. Col.
North’s oldest son, however, received him,
and Mrs. North, thinking it necessary to pay
him some attention, invited hint to dine; he
accepted ami was met at dinner by some la
dies whose presence was unexpected to him,
and to whom he apologized, saying; he “did
not expect to meet ladies.” He stopped at
the house of “Billy Pitt,” who then kejjf the
best tavern in the place. At the “Hook” he
stopped with Charles Vaughan and slept in
the “old mid house,” then occupied by
Vaughan near. Bombahook creek. Talley
rand's companion is supposed to have been
the young Duke of Orleans, Louis Phillippe,
afterwards King of France. When at Mrs.
North’s he pretened to her that he could not
| speak English, but she afterwards learned
I that he could and did.

Prussian Account of the Affair at Saar*
brack.
London, Aug. 1.
The Paris correspondent ot the Daily New s
writes on Tuesday that the enthusiasm for
war has entirely disappeared in Paris. It is
low- evident that the war with Germany
means a prolonged struggle against a million
irmed combatants, who are determined to
defend their own country and if possible to
give the French such a lesson that hereafter
the Emperor’s peculiar mode of making his
reign an era of peace by attacking his neigh
bors, will he rendered impossible. The an
nouncement that the fortifications of Paris
are to be placed in a condition ot defence
and the Emperor’s admission that the war
w ill be long, have singularly dampened the
ardor of those who imagined that within a
fortnight a glorious peace, which would re
establish the supremacy of the French arms,
would be signed in Berlin. We are still told
that the Germans are trending at the idea
of encountering the mitrailleurs and turees
hut the legend has lost its effect.
A special from Paris Tuesday, says that
the Emperor’s physician has joined the army,
on the pretext of forming an ambulance
corps: hut everybody knows that he goes as
a special attendant upon the Emperor, the
state of whose malady does not permit him to
dispense with his most trusted physician.
A special correspondent at Saarbruck,
writes on Tuesday morning: Our guns are
being brought up opposite the French, and
w ill reply if the French open fire.
The same correspondent writing Monday
night says :—I thought at tile end of my la«t
letter that my contribution from Saarbruck
was finished, and had set out for the railway
station, when a communication was received
from one of the best informed men in the
place made me determined to say, and to-day
the monotony of Saarbruck has been broken.
Two thousand men with lb guns have come
within a mile of the town, and two whole reg
ime. ts are lying in the immediate neighbor
hood. The first and third battalions, and
the 40th Hohenzollcrn fusiliers made their
appearance on the Saarlouis road at the top
ot a hill. 2 miles out of Saarbruck. about five
o'clock, and with them came lb guns, and a
long line of wagons. They did not come
into town, hut turned into a large field high
upon the hill, where they will bivouac to
night. There was great joy at the news of
their approach, and the towns-people went to
the field to receive them w ith provisions and
presents of cigars, &c. ••Gott Seilab" came
from the mouth of a patriot at im side, as
the first of the cannon appeared. When I
wrote my first letter, there were hardly more
than 500 men in Saarbruck. and had the
French made a forward move, even with a
small part of their forces about Forback, we
could have made no resistance to them w hat
ever; but front one source or other, our
force was curiously exaggerated. The
Paris papers have credited us with an extra
ordinary garrison. There are at present in
Saarbruck or just outside of the place. 3000
men. and the 4tfth regiment with lb guns,
within a short distance.
Cartsiu-he, Aug. 4.
There was hard fighting at Weisenhurg
yesterday. To-day a large force of Prussians
advanced between Weisenhurg and Lauter
bourg, ten miles into French territory, driv
ing the advanced post of the enemy and des
troying a mile of railroad between Lauter
bourg and Strasbourg, along which it is sup
posed McMahon was preparing to advance.
The French loss w as heavy, including many
prisoners.
Bekmx, Aug. 4.
The Prussian government furnishes the fol
lowing account of the affair at Saarbrucken :
The feeble garrison held Saarbrucken until
the French deployed and advanced in three
columns. The Prussians then retired to a
position north of the town to observe the ene
my. In spite of the free use by the French of
tin- Mitrailleurs, artillery and Chasscpots.
Our losses arc only two officers and seventy
men. The loss of the French appeared to he
more serious. Our troops were admirably
cool.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, Aug. 4.
Murderous Assault.
Joseph Segar, an ex-member of Congress
from Virginia, to-day severely assaulted Win.
S. Lincoln, an ex-mciuber of Congress trom
New York, at the railroad station, with a
cane, for an alleged calumnious statement
about him in reference to a re-charter of the
Fredericksburg and Alexandria Railroad Co.
When brougld before the Police Court he de
clared that lie regarded it as his duty to in
flict chastisement but denied the charge tha
he intended to kill Mr. Lincoln, lie was
held to bail iu $.1,000.
Attorney General Akcrmann declines ad

case which may soon come before him for his

time to meet the lease of the Maine Central
Railroad.
The Coit excurtionists from Worcester,
Mass., numbering three hundred and forty
persons, accompanied by the Worcester
Cornet Band, arrived here at noon to-day in
the steamer New Brunswick. The party left
at 4 o’clock for Rockland, where they will
remain until Friday morning and then go to
Portland. Their arrival was not seasonably
announced, or a formal reception would have
awaited them.

the deceased were present during the pro
ceedings. Washington to whom suspicion
has been directed, appeared in good spirits.
Commodore Vanderbilt has purchased the
Mercer Street, ltev. I'r. Booth’s I’resbytarian
