The Fortresses or the Rhine.
Interesting Sketch « of the most Impor
tant Strategic Point* on the Famous
River.
Id the pending war between France and
Prussia, the probable theatre of operations
will be along the Rhine. The possession of
the Prussian provinces on the left bank of
the Rhine has long been the favorite dream
of French ambition. Geographically these
provinces may be said to belong properly
to the Empire, the Rhine forming a nat
ural boundary between France and the
German Confederation, although the
population of the coveted districts |is Ger
man in its sympathies as well as in its lan
guage. For many years both powers have
devoted immense sums of money to the
strengthening of the frontiers and their re
spective lines of approach.
EHRENBREITBTEIN
The strongest defensive point on the Rhine
is Ehrenbrcitstein, opposite Coblentz and
the mouth of the Moselle. This is an elabo
rate fortress, laid upon, or hewn into a
rocky bluff, which proudly lifts itself three
hundred and seventy-five feet above the
right bank of the river, and overlooks a
large landscape to the west and south.
On the northeast, however, there are
higher hills, which ascend gradually from
the foot of Ehrenbrcitstein, and from
which the fortress can be bombarded with
great facility. The writer of this was posi
tively and persistently refused permission
to examine this exposed side of the
fortress, or even to take the view there
from. Thie'dclicacy can hardly be to conceal
the strength of the place. Yet it is stated
that two or three lines of bastioned works
have been skilfnlly engineered and thor
oughly built on the weak side, so that the
Pru.-sian engineers pronounce it as strong
as the faces more favored by Daturc. This
is quite possible, for the western face has
also an evident element of weakness in the
high walls, built of small and irregular
stones, to enlarge the area of the fortress
and to present a more regular front. These
walls are not calculated to resist modem
projectiles, and will surely be battered down
with dispatch as soon as the enemy’s guns
got into position within range. Whether
•u«!i damage would affect the tCDability or
only the beauty of the fortress is an open
question. 'I he bomb-proofs arc represent
ed as very strong, and would perhaps not
bn weakened though all the artificial walls
were broken up and rolled down into the
Rhine. It is ominous, however, that ad
mission to all of the interior covered
parts of the fort is also refused to
strangers. In 1791 the French entered the
!',rtrens from the northeast side with very
little difficulty—having first created a diver
sion for the garrison. Later, the Directory
laid siege to the stronghold, and after three
failures finally captured it. We are given to
understand that a failure of supplies was
the occasion of the surrender. Rut some
persons Bay that Colonel Faber, who com
manded the place during the siege, ac
knowledged that the French cannon had
wrought irreparable mischief, and made
tho post untenable, and that the failure of
supplies scarcely hastened the surrender.
The French blow up tho whole fort upon
their evacuation, after which I’russia devo
ted ten years to the restoration and perfec
tion of the works, so that now they ought
to survive as much fire as did Fort Sumter.
Ehrenbrcitstein admits a garrison of four
teen thousand men, ana its magazines will
hold provisions enough for this force for
live years. A well in tho rock furnishes
an unfailing spring of water. At the foot
of Ehrcnbreitstein, at the water’s edge, is
anew easemated work nearly finished,
which is intended to be bomb-proof, and is
designed to sweep the river at short range,
where the guns of the fortress would be
harmless, oo account of the great depres
sion of aim required. Fort Astersteiu lies
on tho same side of the river, a little to
the south. It is a separato fort of consid
erable strength, is situated on a moderate
elevation, and is itsolf supported by three
small outworks.
THE CITY OF COBLENZ
is surrounded by a strong wall, which is
pierced on tho land side by only two
gate i, and these are secured by easemated
towers. Ihe walls of the town, however,
cannot bo reached without a struggle, for
on t hesauio side, both of the Rhine and of
tho Moselle, are the two strong forts,
Alexander and Constantine, supported by
a third work, which is quite small. Fort
Alexander is tho strongest and most im
portant, point in this vicinity, except Eh
renbreitstein. It lies on the Karthause
hill, about three hundred and twenty feet
higher than the city, and would naturally
l)o tfie object of the first attentions of the
enemy in case of a sioge, since fort Alex
ander having been captured, Coblenz
would no longer be tenable, and a strong
tire could he concentrated upon the river
as well as land side of the works across
tho Moselle and Rhine. Fort Fran/, on
•lid left hank ot tho Moselle, occupies a
moderate elevation, and commands
the railroad along the Rhine and the
carriage roads to Cologne and Treves,
besides forming, together with three
smaller works, a sort of fortified camp for
a large body of troops. All of this lies un
der tho guns of Ehrenbrcitstein. An army
of 100,000 men can encamp under cover of
the various forts about Coblenz. They oan
communicate easily between the opposite
hanks of both livors, by means of the rail
road and pontoon bridges across the Rhine,
and the permanent railroad and earriago
bridges across the Moselle. This strong
position could be turned by crossing the
Rhine at Neuwied—the point which Cmsar
first crossed—a»d advancing dircotly
northward by a macadamized road through
the Westerwald. This, however, would
he a perilous undertaking, and though the
passage should be made without interrup
tion, a line of communications could not
possibly be kept open so near to Coblenz.
Tho Moselle, therefore, being so securely
hold at its mouth by the Germans, and in
its upper course by the French, oan afford
but a difficult line of operations for either;
hut the great facility of further opera
tions, either northward or southward,
whon this line should be once fairly con
quered, would make it seem worth the
undertaking.
LUXEMBURG
was Prussia’s strongest fortress; and, for
guarding (he frontier aud defending the
_Rhine, as well as for covering and support
ing on invasion of France, no better posi
tion can be found. The dismantling of the
works was nevertheless consented to, as
the price of peace. Yet the Work oi de
struction is so partial, or advanoes so
slowly, as still to be tho occasion of com
plaint. And this is not surprising, for
though the Prussian soldiers are missed
from the streets and walls, and two or
three roads have been opened through the
ramparts on the weaker side, yet the out
ward aspect of the rugged eastern lace
has not changed in a single feature; and,
in ease of war, the first body of troops
to reach the town would soon fortify the
points now exposed, and then enjoy
all the advantages of one of the strong
est places in Europe. Yet this strength
is more natural than artificial, and no
combination of powers can expect to
raze nature's bulwarks by a mere word,
even though it be a more just word than
that which doomed this fortress. Can
cither Holland or Prussia be required to
till up at enormous cost the immense ravine
which almost eneireles the great fortress
or to blow up the casemates hewn in the
face of the living rock on which the city is
built. It not, then Luxemburg must re
main for ages considerably stronger than
either V leksburg or Jerusalem—which
latter it much resembles. The only well
advanced Prussian fortress for the defenoe
ot the Rhine at the frontier is t-aarlouis—
a small and antiquated work on the fcaar
the chief tributary of the Moselle. This
is entirely inadequate to the demand for
au advanced post to hold the enemy in
check while the army is mobilized and I
brought forward, or for & base of opera
tions against Metz, Thionville, Verdun
end Paris. \ ery important and practica
ble roads lead from here to Metz, Treves
Mayenee, Manheim and Lanuau. The
unfortified town ot Saarbruek boasts of a
similar junction of excellent macadamized
roads leading to all of these important
military points.
maykxce,
with Castel just across the Rhine, forms a
very important station for the defence of
the river. Mayenee is surrounded by a
bastiooed wall, which in parts is new, while
the larger portion is very old. T. c moat
is dry except on the north front. O.i the
south side is the citadel, with its two
bastions and theEigeistein. A row.d lK , r ts
and lunettes surround the first wail, a fit
tie in advance; and still further out, but
not far, are several detached forts, some of
which occupy higher ground than the low
plain of the eity. The largest of these is
Fort Weisenau, which has a good position
on high ground opposite the mouth of the
Main. Reiow the towD, on the Ringen
side, a fourth line of works has been corn'
meueed, considerably in advance es the
third, since good ordinance can reach the
city over all three lines as they now stand.
CASTEL
forms a large bridge head to the pontoon
bridge. It is composed of live bastions, ;
with a ditch filled with water, and with
\ ua , eUca covering the curtains. A

either angle of the two, formed

good entrenchments connect the lower fort I

this point in the Thirty Years’ War. A
railroad bridge spans the Rhine above the
junction with the Main and is protected by
anew bridge head on the right hank and
by Fort Weisenau on the left.
THE MOUTH OF THE MAIN.
The importance of holding firm posses
sion of the month of the Main cannot be
estimated too highly. Custine took advan
tage of the weakness of the place in the
campaign of 1792, and with a compara
tively small army operated so successfully
ic the rear of the Prussians as to hasten
their retreat and throw the eoDtest back
upon German soil. The Main is navigable
as far np as Bamberg, and is connected
with the Danube by a caDal running paral
lel with the Regnitz. Political changes
have rendered this line between the Rhine
and Danube far less important for military
uses than when Wartenslebeu and Jonrdan
and Napcleen I, operated od it. The
Main, however, is always likely to play
some little part in any great straggle on
the Rhine. Its lower course communi
cate* directly between the fortress at May
ence and the great railroad centre atFrank
fort. Sixty miles further up it passes the
fortified old town of Wiirzburg, with its
stone bridge aDd easy communication in
almost every direction. And from the
head of navigation at Bamberg, a railroad
follows the upper Main northward, via
Hos, to AJteoburg and Leipzig, and good
carriage roads lead to Scbleitz, or to Co
burg and Rudolstadt.
THE VOSGES MOUNTAINS
run parallel with the Rhine, and form a
second barrier for the French frontier.
Like the mountains of the Black Forest,
across the Rhine, they are the highest and
broadest in their southern part, the Vosges
attaining a height of four thousand feet,
and a breadth of twenty-five miles. All
the piacticable passes through these moun
tains have been fortified according to their
importance. The most northern road is
oomroanded by the fortress at B'tsch, which
in 1793 and 1815 withstood several spirited
attempts on the part of the Prussians to
capture it. It has a deep ditch hewn in the
rock, and has been considerably strengthen
ed quite recently. The minimum garrison iB
800 men. Forts Petite Pierre and Lich
tenburg are small works in small passes.
The great central passage is by way of
Severne, aod is held by the fort at Pfalz
burg, supported by Strasburg on the
Rhine, opposite. Pfalzbursr is not very
strong at present, but it has been propos
ed to strengthen it, aod establish a fortified
camp there. Between Lavcroe and Bel
fort, are only two practicable passes-by
way of Bt. Die, and by way of Remire
mont—and they seem to be sufficiently
guarded by the lortre«ses in the plain, and
by Belfort. The latter stands in the mid
dle of tho opening between the Jura and
Vosges Mountains, aod is an important
junction for all kinds of land communica
tions, being in the direct road between
Basle and Paris. It has been modernized
and strengthened, and is probably quite
equal to the demand upon it, considering
that the pass is so far south, and that Bel
fort is supported by several other forts
along the Doubs.
RASTA DT.
To return to German soil, we find the
most important stronghold on the eastern
side of the Rhine Valley at Rastadt, on
the Murg: This fortress lies in the plain,
about four miles back from the Rhine, and
is both modern and extensive. Three
large forts—Ludwig, on the right bank of
the Murg, and Leopold and Friedrich, on
the left—with strong bastions, wet ditches,
easemated redoubts, crenelated walls,
lunettes and towers, make i s strong a
combination as are expected where there
is no more advantage of ground. A forti
fied camp can easily be laid out in connec
tion with these works, and may be quite
necessary for this post, since neither the
valley of the Murg nor the Strasburg-
Stuttgart line is commanded by the for
tress sufficiently to prevent its use, if the
stationary ordinance is alone to bo feared.
STRASBURG
has nearly ninety thousand inhabitants of
German descent, but who speak both Ger
man and French with equal difficulty and
defect. France has strengthened tho for
tress considerably quite recently, and iB still
making improvements. The bastion en
cier.te is surrounded with a moat filled with
water. The outworks and detached forts,
small aod large, finished and unfinished,
together with the fine citadel on the east
ern side, contribute so much strength to
the main work that Strasburg is not con
sidered inferior even to Metz. The town
lies on tho 111, but almost touches the
Rhine, and securely holds the French side
of the bridges here.

Cotton.
Friday, P. M., July 15, 1870.
By special telegrams received by us to
night from the Southern ports we are in
possession of the returns showing the re
ceipts, exports, &c., of cotton for the week
ending this evening, July 15. From the
figures thus obtained it appears that the
total receipts for the seven days have reach
ed 9,474 bales (against 8,565 bales last
week, i 1,709 bales the previous week, and
12,847 bales three weeks since), making
the aggregate since September 1, 1869, up
to this date, 2,854,081 bales, against 2,109,-
567 bales for the same period in 1868 9,
being an increase this soaHon over last
season of 744,514 bales. The details of
tho receipts for this week (as per tele
graph) and tho corresponding week of
1869 are as follows;

Increase this year 5,519
The exports for the week ending this
evening reach a total of 19,623 bales, of
which 17,869 were to Great Britain and
1,754 bales to the Continent, while the
stocks at all the ports, as made up this
evening, are now 140,746 bales.
From the foregoing statement it will be
scon that, compared with the correspond
ing week of last season, there is an increase
in the exports this weok of 17,544 bales,
while the stocks to-night are 91,528 bales
more than they were at this time a year
ago.
Tha market opened this iveek with a
very limited demand, and on receipt of un
favorable advices from Liverpool prices
became very weak, and as the offerings
were large, tho market at the close fell off
Jo. On the next day there was very little
movement, but on Tuesday and Wednes
day the demand increased, without, how
ever, resulting in any chaDge in prices.
Thursday, with higher gold and more
steadiness at Liverpool, there was a recov
ery to about the rates ruling last Friday,
but to-day, with the news from Europe
that war had been declared, the market
was about Jc. off for middling and low
middling, 10. off for ordinary and good or
dinary, and the close was dull and heavy at
the decline, notwithstanding gold closed at
1151. For future delivery there has been
more activity, and prices have fluc
tuated considerably. The speculation in
the next crop, however, has been quite
limited, but at slightly easier rates. Total
sales of futures for tho week reach 11,900
bales (all low middling or on the basis of
low middling), of which 6,800 bales were
for July, 700 at 18}, 1,200 at 18}, 300 at
181, 800 at 18J, 200 at 18, 200 at 18}, 2,100

2,100 bales for October, 1,300 at 171, 100

The ErrEcr or Was ox Cotton.—lt
docs not seem probable that the French
apd Prussian war will hare any very mate
rial effect on the prices of cotton, and yet
so far as it may exert any influence, we
should be inclined to think that the ten
dency (after the first shock has passed away)
would not be unfavorable. To be sure the
disturbed state of the continent might in
terfere with the natural course of consump
tion, and a long war would impoverish the
people so that their purchases would
necessarily be more limited. But there is
very little danger that the war will be long,
and the increased consumption for army
purposes (for an army is very wasteful)
will more than make good any disposition
to economixe among the people. Then,
too, war on the oontinent will probably
make all industries more active in Eng
land, giving the laboring classes there
larger profits to spend on clothing. For
these reasons, and for the further one that
» higher range in the gold premium here, all
other things being equal, gives us a higher
currency price, we cannot look upon this j
European disturbance as unfavorable to
the cotton trade*

The foregoing shows the interior stocks
have decreased during the week 4,206
bales, and that they are now 28,347 bales
in excess of the same period of last year.
Visible Supply of Cotton.— The fol
lowing table shows the quantity of cotton

These figures indicate an increase in the
cotton in sigh: to-night of 177,450 bale 6
compared with the same date of 1869.
Gunny Bags, Bagging, &c.— The
market for these articles has continued
dull during the week, buyers holding off,
hoping for lower prices later in the season,
but holders remaining firm, believing that
the supply available for the coming season
will all be needed and will command full
rates. Bags are nominally 21 to 23c, ac
cording to weight. Sales of cloth have
been made, 100 bales to arrive by the
Ocean Mail at 20c, gold, in bond, and 36
bales Dundee, 45 inch, at 26c, currency,
duty paid. Domestic cloth is held at 32
to 321 c. Jute and Jute Butts are nomi
nally unchanged, but there has been noth!
iQg doing.
The exports of cotton this week from
New York show an increase since last
week, the total reaching 7,155 bales,
against 6,899 bales last week.
Havre, July I.—The stock of cotton
yesterday evening was 151,000 bales, of
which 117,000 bales were American*and
17,000 East Indian. It was estimated that
15,000 bales of American and 43,000 bales
of East Indian produce were alloat to the
port.
Bombay, May 31.—The total to Europe
to date, according to Messrs. Nicol & Co.’s
Circular, is 556,278 bales. We have in
stock about 160,000 bales, and on a rough
estimate 175,000 on board ship in tlie
harbor. During June it is well nigh im
possible to say what the total shipment
may be, but up to the end of August an
estimate may be arrived at with some de
gree of accuracy. Should the monsoon
prove a late one, June would undoubtedly
show a total equal, or very nearly so, to
May ; but no dependence can be placed
on calculations which may be entirely up
set by the wetther, and we prefer, there
fore, to take our time to August, up to the
end of which month any shipments leav
ing this via the Cape will be included in
the import into Europe during the present
year. Our estimate to tho end of August
is 900,000 bales, or 143,000 less than last
season, and from all the information in our
possession we put the total deficit from
the whole of India this year at about
370,000 bales, as compared with last sea
son. Below we append our quotations :

Madrid, July 19, p. m. —The work’ng
men made a demonstration yesterday.
They marched through the streets bearing
banners, on which wore written people are
dying of hunger. In front of the Ministry
of tbo Interior and other publio depart
ments they halted and demanded employ
ment. Their conduct was orderly, and
their manifestations ended without dis
turbance.
Paris, July 19, p. m.—Don Carlos is
here.
St. Petersburg, July 19, p. m.—Ad
vices from the agricultural districts of
Northern and Central Russia show that
the crops are looking well, and promise a
yield above the average.
In the High Court of Justice at Blois
yesterday, at the commencement of the
proceedings, Arago rose and moved that,
in view of the approach of war, and the
consequent agitation of the country, the
trial of persons accused of conspiracy be
postponed. The Court, after considera
tion, denied the motion, and the trial pro
ceeded.
Baron Rothschild, who was drawn as a
member of the jury of the High Court,
did not attend, and was fined 5,000 francs.
Public and private subscriptions to
various charitable projects incident to war,
are very liberal in all parts of the country.
Duke DeMortenant has given one hundred
thousand trancs. Many persons agree to
pay certain sums daily during the continu
ance of the war, and others agreed to pay
double taxes. Many manufacturers con
tinue the wages of thei- employees who
choose to enlist as soldiers.
A large number of the constituents of
M. Thiers, who voted for him at the last
election, deny his retirement lroin the
Corps Legislatif, on tho ground that he
has outraged the patriotic sentiment of
the country by his recent speech against
the war.
Several Deputies to the Corps Legislatif
seek commissions in the army.
Survernois has applied for command in
the ordinance corps.
The Journal Official of to-day lias a sig
nificant article on the attitude of Holland,
with which it professes to be pleased, and
continues, but no one can ignore the am
bitious designs of Prussia against the inde
pendence of Holland. Bismarck wished
to make - that generous and illustrious lit
tle nation submit as the Danish Duchies
were forced to submit. He wished to
render Holland the naval stall of North
ern Germany.
London, ’July 19, p. m.—The Post is
sceptical touching the news received from
France and Prussia. It ascribes the bulk
of dispatches to speculators.
Paris, Jult 19, p. m.—The Journal,
official, announces that the Emperor has
decided not to receive, either in imperial
quarters or quarters of general officers,
any volunteer or any foreign officer, or any
one not belonging to the French army.
Thiers publishes this morning an indig
nant denial of having received, as stated
by the Figaro, a letter from the King of
Prussia thanking him for his speech against
war.
When the Emperor quitted the Tuille
ries to-day to return to St. Cloud, he was
loudly cheered by the people.
Berlin. July 19, p. m.—Last evening
King William made a speech to a great
crowd of the people of Berlin, who cama
to congratulate him. He said he was not
responsible for the war which had just
broken out. He might, personally, be
passive under the outrage, but Germany,

E BEG to inform the Cotton Planters, and all interested parlies, that we are pre
pared to fill orders for THE BROI\N COTTON GIN for the coming season, ai»i
now have a GIN at our place of business, for the inspection of our friends ami the
public generally. These Gins are too well known to need auy particular description at
our hands. They are made of the best material with the greatest care under the
personal supervision of Mr ISRAEL F. BROWN, (formerly mechanical partner of
L. J. iaylor & Cos., 3nd of their successors, W. G. Clemons, Brown k Cos., Columbus,
Ga.,) who has had an experience ot upwards of forty years in their manufacture. We
can coDtident.y recommend them, and believe they will be found upon trial un
rivalled for
perfect finish, strength, simplicity, durability,
FAST ADD CLKAX GIN.YI.NG, FIGHT RUNNING AND SUPERIORITY OF LINT.
Id saying this we think we will be sustained by the testimony of Cotton Planters
everywhere who have used the Gins of this make.
thus avoiding the oss of time which tho delay of ordering generally occasions. The
price wid be found to be as low and as liberal as that of any first-class manufacturer.
