Washington, Aug. 13, 1870.
JOURNALISM AT THE CAPITAL.
Tho Washington correspondents are a power.
They are yearly becoming more so, as their op
portunities for. usefulness increase with the
emancipation of the press and leading journals
from the mean and trammeling influences of
party. Very few persons not connected with
journalism have any adequate idea of the num
ber and ability of those who are known as Wash-
ington correspondents, nor of the means used
and expenses incurred by the leading newspa
pers of thoeountry in obtaining ihe columns of
“special dispatches” daily laid before their
readem from this point. I doubt if the best
informed “Pressmen” away from here, or a ma
jority oven of those who aro employed during
the whole or part of the year at the Capital,
have any real idea of the number of journals
who are regularly represented. Only a portion
of those who writo “letters -1 with more or less
reputation are named in Major Ben Perley
Poore’s Congressional Dicretory, for tho list he
publishes includes only those who havo seats or
standing room in the Reporter’s Gallery in
either branch of Congress.
TOBTY-FIVE CORRESPONDENTS,
preference to that valuable publication shows
a list of ninety-nino papers represented, of
which sixty-eight are dailies. The latter em
braces all the leading journals of the United
States, and at least one of Great Britain—tho
London Telegraph. Of the dailies, forty re
ceive special reports by telegraph from the pens
of reporters and correspondents employed for
that purpose. There aro forty-five persons
named in the raportorial lists who may be set
down as professional journalists. Of these, sev
en belong to he reportorial staff of tho Con
gressional Globe, which includes several of the
most accomplished phonographers in the United
States. These are men of extended literary
knowledge and wide journalistic experience,
and most of them do more or less work as cor
respondents and editorial writers. The Asso
ciated Press has three reporters employed here,
the Southern Associated Pres3 one, that of Bal
timore one, and the American Press Association
two. “Father” Gobright, as he is affectionate
ly termed, has seen a third of a century of Cap-
Italian life and experience, and has given us
some of his reminiscenses in a very interesting' $
volume, which might havo been made more so,
if the habit of impartial statement and conden
sation bad not become second natnre. The
New York monopoly may be congratulated on
having so experienced and genial a chief here.
In the forty.five regulars there must be counted
three accomplished ladies—Mrs. Lippincott,
Grace Greenwood, or G. G., of the Tribune,
Mrs. Briggs, “Olivia,” of the Philadelphia
Press, and Miss Snead, the brilliant “Miss
Grundy," of the New York World,

of men and affairs at home and abroad.
YOLLXIV—NO. 8>
THE EMPBESS EUGENIE.
There are eighteen correspondents who regu
larly use the telegraph for the transmission of
thqir matter. There are some few reporters
who work for and are paid by these “specials”
to get news. They are termed in the argot of
the Row “gU'—rillas,” and their occupation is
usually termed “skirmishing.” I think the
terms are the results of war, for nearly every
man of the press hereabout was a soldier in one
or the other armieB, most of them serving m
the Union ranks. There are about half a dozen
gentlemen who are widely knowasletter-witers,
and their communications usually assume asemi-
editorial character. Only two of these, J.
B. McCullogh, the able young editor of the Cin
cinnati Enquirer, and Jerome B. Stillson, of the
World, usually resort to the “wires” when here
for the transmission of their matter. These pa
pers, however, are regularly supplied by Geo.
W. Adams, who is in rapid training for the
Dean of the Correspondential Corps. Father
Gobright holds that post of honor now. Maj.
Poore is next in succession, and “Shad” Adams
comes in for his reversion.
NOTED WRITERS.
The eighteen special correspondents referred
to, send dispatches to some forty newspapers.
Most of the special news sent by telegraph is
famished to combinations—as, for instance,
the Western Republican Press, whose corres
pondents are General H. V. Boynton, of the
Cincinnati gazettes, and Sidney Andrews, “Di-
orij” of tbe Boston Advertiser, comprises tho
Pittsburg Commercial, Cincinnati Gazette, Chi
cago Tribune, and Sc. Louis Democrat. Mr.
Andrews furnishes the specials to the Boston
Advertiser, as well as- contributes regularly
some of the ablest letters of criticism, analysis,
and statement relating to public affairs which
leave this city. General Boynton is also tbe
special correspondent of the Gazette, and his
letters have acquired a wide and just renown
from bc-iDg m.'uio the vehicle of the most fear
less expose of the land jobbery with which Con
gress is too much afflicted. A Democratic com
bination is run by George W. Adams, and em
braces tho Chicago Times, St. Louis Republican
and Cincinnati Enquirer. Besides these, Mr.
Adams is tho special reporter of the World and
Boston Herald, as well one of the proprietors of
the Washington Star, one of thelivliestof even
ing journals. A Southern combination is run
by G. A.' Pillsbtiry,' and consists of the Balti
more Gazette, Macon (Ga.) Telegram, New
Orleans Times and Savannati News. The poli
tics of these dispatches are “red-hot^” quite as
much as the “blowing” I suggested at the be
ginning Pluto’s queen was raising' now a-days.
One of the veteran reporters, bearing a name
repatei to be known in the “lobby,” that mys
tical “coign of vautago” from which corpora
tions and speculation work so ardons, lias a
combination consisting of tho Boston Tran
script, Cincinnati Chronicle, Chicago Journal,
New York Commercial and Toledo Blade.
Still another, and one of the very best as far
as news is concerned, is conducted by W. W.
Worden, formerly of the New York Times, nnd
-one of Andrew Johnson’s secretaries. His pa
pers are tho Baltimore American, Boston Post,
and Philadelphia Day. There are other com
binations not given in the lists, run by journal-
Tlie Princess Was a, Napoleon’s First Be-
trotiled—The Austrian’s Emperor’s Be-
signs—Tbe Wiles of a Beautiful Adven
turess-Course of a Great Wfe Changed.
From the Slants Zeitung. |
Had not the original plana of Napoleon in re
gard to his marriage been frustrated by the Aus
trian Court, his life might have taken a very
different course, and there might now be no ne
cessity of his despairingly bewailing the fact
that through foreign counsels he has allowed
himself to be ruined. He wished to marry his
cousin, the Princess Wasa, grand-daughter of
the Grand Duchess Stephanie of Baden, and
had already offered her his hand on the occasion
of a visit to Baden-Baden. His suit was ac
cepted, but with the condition that Prince Wasa,
the father of tho Princess, who lived in Vienna
apart from his wife, should give his consent.
Napoleon thereupon turned to the Emperor of
Aastria with the request that he should under
take the wooing of the bride from Prince Wasa,
but he received an answer to the effect that this
was not permitted by the laws of etiquette, in
asmuch as the Prince was only a Colonel in the
Austrian army.
- This, however, was merely an excuse, since
Franz Joseph was determined to prevent the
proposed match at any price. He therefore
contrived to influenoe Prince Wasa to positively
refuse his consent; and, while Napoleon still
hoped on, a match between the Crown Prince
of Saxony and the Princess was quickly brought
about by the intrigues of the Austrian court.
Napoleon was deeply moved and exaspeated at
this, and upon first learning that this, his dar
ling project, had been frustrated, he gave ut
terance to the memorable words, “Les souve-
rains de l’Europe se souviendront do moL” (The
princes of Europe shall have cause to think of
mo.)
It is true that at a later day the Emperor of
Austria had only too much cause for regretting
the share which he had taken in ibis affair; but
for Napoleon, the result was -much worse from
having perhaps the only real heartfelt desire'he
ever experienced repressed in this rude way.
Even though the woman whom he had desired
to make Empress of the French had, by no
means distinguished herself for eminent quali-
t es, yet her modest, bashful, almost dependent
nature would have been a guarantee that she
would never have endeavored to overstep the
limits cf her duties, never would have labored
to secure a government which would have made
of the highest interests of France a plaything
for her humors and her selfishness.
But this was the result of the second choice,
which Napoleon then hit upon. Among the
many adventurers of rank who happened to be
in Paris at the time of Napoleon’s great politi
cal strategem, there was a certain Countess
Montijo and her daughter, who had created a
sensation anddrawn tne attention of Napoleon
toward themselves by their extravagant style
of liviDg, as well as by the beauty of the
daughter. Napoleon had drawn these women,
to bis new court, and had indulged in every
kind of gallantry toward the daughter, who,
however, had quickly given him to understand-
-sat, despite her ooquetry, she was just as care
ful of her honor as he was of his, and would'
yield in no way to his passions unless he allow
ed her the legitimate place at his side. ---; e>Ti ■
When now the proposed match with the Prin
cess Wasa tamed out a failure, Eugenie con
trived to procure an invitation to Compiegne,
and there, in the freer intercourse with Napo
leon, and with the aid of a brilliant toilette, .in
which violet-wreaths amid her blonde hair: bad
an especially strong effect, she succeeded,
through the magic of her personal appearance
and her splendid conversational powe.rs,-ini so
alluring him that be, still sensitive over the re
sult of his former plans, and with the firm de
termination of meeting the crowned princes of
Europe as a parvenu, suddenly offered'her his
hand, and to the universal astonishment not
alone of France, but of all Europe, raised totbe
position of Empress a woman of doubtfnl de
scent and of an equally doubtful past.
Since then this woman has shared his throne
with him for eighteen years, and has apparent
ly, it is true, contributed very much to its
splendor; but if Napoleon now looks back over
this period, and calls himself to account for the
influences which since then have been brought
to bear upon him from the side of his wife, and
by means of her have been made effective, ho
cun scarcely do otherwise than curse the hour
which he entered into this alliance.
CLIPPINGS FROM LATE NORTH
ERN DISPATCHES. .
Bsulne on the Point of Capitulation.
London, August 26.—Aspeoial correspondent
at Bar le Due writes that Bazaine is surrounded
in Metz* by Prussian troops, and is expecting io
be compelled to oapitulate his troops, they be
ing short of provisions.
An Estimate of His Strength.
Special to theNae York Tribune.]
London, August 26—Tie best information
about Bazaine’s army, which all German offieial
telegrams prove is shut up in Metz, makes his
strength about 60,000. McMahon’s army cannot
exceed 100,000 real goad troops, the remainder
being raw levies. - .* , -7\.
The Tribune special correspondent telegraphs
from Frankfort Friday that the Strasbnrg be-
seigers are makmg rapid progress. The citadel
is in ruins and the arsenal is on fire. One bat
tery has been silenced. Tht German trenches
are close to the wails.
The Hasty Evacuation of Kheimi—Prus
sian Army on Short Batfon*-lta position
Before Metz.
London, August 26.—A Tribune special cor
respondent writing from Kheims, on the 24th,
says: This morning as we were at breakfast an
officer of intendanco informed us that we must
start instantly for Peetbill. The Prussians are
marching on Ilheims, and are expected here
this evening. True or not, this intelligence
hastens the movement of the army, and makes
it look more like a retreat than ever. r > nso. -:
We are all on short rations. The first Pres-
sian army having now occupied the same region
for some days and tho country is all about being
eaten ont, but supplies are hourly expected and
the'men are cheerful. I have just returned from
a visit to tbe outposts of the army, which are
under the guns of forts St. Quentin and Gar-
rieres, and looked down on the valley in which
Metz lies. Large French camps mgy be ssen
between Melz and the hill crowned by Si. Qceu-
tin. Yesterday and to-day the Prussian pich-
eers are throwing up earthworks for defense
against sallies from Metz, but I believe the
whole plateau is within easy range of the great
fort, and that a bombardment would follow any
attempt to establish an army in that position.
The same correspondent writes on the 19th
that Prince Frederick Charles got between a
part of Bazaino’s column and pierced it. There
is nothing to show positively whether they suc
ceeded in getting back to Metz or away from
it, but all this testimony points to the possible
junction of Bazaine’s forces by Vonziers with
McMahon.
London, August 26.—The German Uhlans,
areobjects of prodigious terror at Paris. Their
arrival there is momentarily expected. Patrols*
are stationed everywhere in the vicinity to an
nounce the event. *•
The Prussians Still Advancing on Paris—
Contradiction or other Reports.
(Special to tbe New York Tribune. |
London, August 26.—The arrival of the King
at Bar-le-Duc is ibe best comment oh .the
French stories, assiduously spread in Paris,
that tbe Prussians were caughtin a trap at
Metz. Gen. McMahon’s movements are known
to tbe Prussians, and they do not think them of
enough consequence to delay the advance of
tbe Crown Prince, or prevent tbe detachment
of parts of Gen. Steinmetz’s and of Prince Fred
erick Charles’ forces to strenghten the column
moving on Paris.
The Prussians front now stretches thirty or
forty miles, the main column apparently march-,
ing by Bar-le-Duc and Yittry, while Hie- left-
wing has enveloped Chaumont and Brienne,
from 25 to 40 miles southward of the line of
march of the main column. The French - War
Office privately asserts, nevertheless, that Mc
Mahon and Bazaine aTe iu full communication,
and pursuing the Prussians, which anybody
may believe who likes.
The last news from Strasbourg is that six per
sons were killed, sixteen houses burned, and
the cathedral slightly damaged. The people take
refuge in their cellars. The firing from-the
town killed a.large number of the besiegers.—
As many spies stUI lurk in the city the comman
dant has ordered the soldiers to Bhoot all per
sons seen on the roofs of the houses.
-■ The Tribune’s speoial correspondent at Paris
writes on Thursday evening:: The. Ministers
say privately that it was Canrobert, who, with
one or two divisions, got away after the battle
of 1 the 28th, and with whom MoMahon hopes tar
effect a junction.

Every Inch a King.
There was a gleam of helmeted, heads and
plumes and of orders, and uniforms around the
Quoi-n as the train passed on, and some said,
‘•There is the King,” and others said, “It is the
Crown Prince: " but the glimpse was transient,
and the clouds of dust which followed in our
track on this most dusty of railroads, put all in
eclipse. In another hour or so we were in Ber
lin, and emerged into streets filled with men in
plain clothes proceeding in some sort of milita
ry order, with small escorts of soldiery, to the
railway siation. Many of these wore decora
tions—medals, ribands, and crosses—which
spoke of service in Schlesv ick-Holstein and in
Bohemia. They were sober, orderly men, quiet,
unexcited, and perhaps all the more anxious to
fight, hard to end the campaign because they
had been oalled away so suddenly from hearth
ahd home—men mostly of twenty-five and up
wards, several in eaoh band belonging apparent
ly to the well-to do burgeoise or better classes
of artisans. Large.cavalcades ofpiorses in bet
ter spirits were led off in fours in the same di
rection. Detachments of troops were passing
all day down the Lime-tree walk, and at two

Facts Shown by the Census.
A Wnshiagton correspondent gives some in-
teresling statements in regard to the census
now being taken, received from Gen. Walker,
the Superintendent. Gen. -Walker, states, that
by next week he will have the total populations
of Maine, Delaware, Connecticut, and Rhode
Island, also tbe Eastern and Southern Districts.
By the 1st of September; the Northern District
of New York; Maryland and Ohio'; by the 15th
of September, all tho States and Torritories,
except Texas and Oregon, and a portion of
Western Michigan, which will not be comple
ted by the 1st of October. He will be able
to give the complete population of the conn
try by the 10th of October. He says that by
the 1st of September ha will be able to give
the population of all the large cities of the
country except San Francisco, and this. latter
by the 10th of September. He has inade an
estimate, and places the total population of
the country at 40,300,000. He argues that the
large cities will fall twenty per^ cent- below
the estimates placed upon their populations, for
the reason that the estimates are based upon
calculations made of the number who are ar
riving in the city. . But no note has been taken
of those who have left. The Chicagoans are
now much disappointed over their figures,
showing but 230,000, when they expected'400,-
000; but it is tbe.same-with. Cincinnati, -where
they claimed over 300,000, and have but bare
ly 200,000.. It i3 so in all the Western cities,
and to a larger figure in the Eastern cities. Ho
says that the number of houses unoccupied in
the large cities is almost . .fabulous,, and is a
proof of the fact that njany persons are leaving
the larger cities and going West and South.

SALARIES.
The salaries of the leading correspondents
range from $40 to $60 per week, and as thoy
generally write letters to their own or other
papers, they usually average an inoome of
about $300 per month during the season. The
letter writers proper, of whom there are a
nmnb< r tolerably well known to the country,
don’t, as a rule, earn as much directly from
their profession as those whose work is chiefly
confined to news telegraphing. Yet, on the
whole, it certainly must require a higher order
of talent to win reputation thereat than to be
come successful as a special reporter, though
there is more real ability required for the lat
ter than the public, or often even“Mr. Able
Editor,” thinks is-needed. There is one thing
be said for the press gang here, and that

brought home to one tbe full practical work
ing of a system that so sharply, without dis
tinction of persons, gathers in all alike to
compulsory service. The result is that at
present in Prussia all men betwfeenjNenty and
thirty, not disabled or for speouj reasons
otherwise employed, are in the field. It is
painfully impressive to see the deserted as
pect of German cities. Who does not remem

Cologne ? Now they are dead and noiseless,
with none but boys and old men to Bhare their
