Soot) after he became Captain ; and in two vears was admitted to the general staff. While holding the rank of captain, he was sent to Turkey, with captains lane, von Muhiback, Fische,and von Winkle, to organize the army there on the Prus* sian model. The work was attended with Jesuits almost ludicrously success ful. As soon as the Turkish troops were disciplined and organized, the des erted en masse. But military literature owes to Molike’s Eastern visit, his jiop- ular and instructive ‘L tters from Tur key and fhe same mission also gave him the opportunity of making valua ble drawings of the Dardanelles, and Bosphorus, and Constantinople. : In 1839—and we may remind the reader that Von Multke’s years are the rears of the century—he returned, af- 'er a most interesting journey through Lesser Asia, to Europe. In the year following he married Miss Von Burt, of Holstein, and about the same time lie was prompted io the rank of Major. In 1845 he again left Germany, and went to Rome, where iie was attached a* adjutant to Prince Heinrich of Prussia. Few people now remember this Prince who was the uncle of the present King of Prussia, and who having become a Roman Catholic, ended his days in the bso, JL>vniR, is-, pausmru uut to fcuaii- ers as the residence of this great gen eral and consummate admimstrato., to whom no plan, tis a whole, seems loo rest and no microscopic detail too triv iai. The watchmakers accurate neat- ss of hand laboring uneringly in the ssernblage ot parts to a wnoie, has een figuratively cited with respect to many great and complex works, from he construction of tne universe down- tv a-d. Tiie house in Beiirens strasse may be regarded as the workshop here wheels and wheels have been ut patiently together by one pair of troitg hands; for strength implies del icacy, whether in playing a sonata, making a timi pcace, or adjusting the numerous minute matters needed to the carrying through of a victorious cam paign. Here it is that the most won derful piece of human tnechani m known to military history, German army of 1870—a combination tin paralleled in the multitude of its ele ments and the perfection and vastness of ua entirety—was put together. Tiie watch lias proved an excellent piece of work ; and people are curious to know what manner ol man is the watchmalc er. Gen. Hellmuih Baron von Moltke, to whose already proven skill and ener gv was entrusied the gigantic task of netting in immediat2 motion half a mill ii>n of men—of calculating fiom all corners of the land the time required to bring on a certain day, and at a cer tain hour, to a ceriam point many sin- cle corps, uniting as a vast, com pact and solid anr.y—belongs to a fami iy of Oid Mecklenburg. He was born in the first year of the century, at a farm known as Sainow, near R bnitz. $gViK4^ria ms r^.wilWg.vW/g a thorough soldierly training to his si.ns. Very soon after the birth of him whose career we are now briefly sketoo ing, the family went to Ilolstein; and in the year 1812 he was s“tn with an e der brother to the Laud Cadet Acade any at Copenhagen, so that Piussia is •ndebted to Dentna'k as well as to the Duchv of Mecklenburg lor the produc non of a soldier whose services will have h ft their mark in the history of i It is youi g but powerful monarchy. When twenty-two years of age, our cad-t entered the Piussian service as second lieutenant in tbe eight Lteb in fantry regiment, which was stationed ai Franklort-pn-the- Oder The corps was commanded at the time by Gen. von der Marwick, whose wife was by birth a Countess von Moltke. T<> this circumstance may be possibly as-r bed tne fact that the young officer, whose means and worldly pro-pecis were trow very small, found influential friends. He was entirely dgp< rdent on bin elen der pay, for his nearest relatives had fallen on evil days, and their fortunes was lost. By great exertions and self denial, Li< qtenant Moltke edueated hiniself in modern languages, and his diligence obtained for him in a short time the di reetton of the D-ivistoa-SchH©!* ihjeU poi^-ibts-duties were idischafigedr^liRi ruch drntnent eatiefacttoQ to his superiolr city of the Popes. After leaving Pros- s a, Prince Heinrich was reported dead. But he lived to furnish a theme wbidh he bis orical novelist of another gen eration may turn to good account. Having brought the dead body of the prince back to Prussia, Major vdn Moltke became chief of the Generil ff of the Fourth Army Corps in Madgeburg; iu 18p0 he was made Lieutenant Colonel, in 1851 Colonel, in 1856 Major General, and in 1869 Lieq- tenant General. During this year lie accompanied tiie Crown Prince of Prui- a to Balmoral, and afterwards, being u command of the eleventh infantry regiment, resided with the Prince for i twelvemonth in Breslau. On two nher memorable occasions he went in attendance on the Crown Prince to nghmd: first when his Royal High- less espoused the Princess Royal, and f ter wards when the Prince was pres- nt at tiie funeral obsequies of her la mented father, the Prince Consort. T? reGerfckTiiaries, vtni'Ajoruvc ucvaaw Cuief of the General Staff; and it have been with strange feelings, as he remembered his cadet days in Denmark that he projected tiie successful passage over to Alsea. His fame was after wards to be more firmly established. The seven days’ war with Austria brought into a conspicuous prominence those brilliant qualities yvhicb havp again shown forth, to the great glory of Piussia and the G rman cause, and to' the signal discomfiture if not confus ion of their enemies This is the man who guides the great army which, re pelling invasion, baa earned conquest into the heart of the invader’s lerri* Bismark’s little bill, besides Alsac®> I orraine, the fortifications of Siras- burg and Metz, is out as follows: 1. Payment by France of German war loans. 2. Pecuniary reparation to families of soldiers killed in the war and to tbe wounded. 8. Compensation for all captured ships. 4 Com pension sor cannonading Saar- hruckcn and Kohl, and expulsion of Germans from France. 5. Payment for crimes by French soldiers on German subjects or wound ed soldiers. 6 Compensation for parochial bur dens eaused by the war. The total, as footed up, amounts to 4 930 millions of francs, or $986,000,- DUO, and me amount every day increas ing. We fancy wo see France paying the amount and Germany getting the thousand millions. It is an old story with kii:g3 atul prune ministers make juenily in promises to pay, out suco large obligations are seldom met ip- full. . King William, <>f Piussia, is not :Xtiaviigant in the matter of personal pparel.
