1 £ 4 T H E 0 0 U N T 11 Y M A N 227 Richmond, March 23.—“The Paris correspondent of the New York Times, of tho 3rd, says : The rebel diplomatic council, which has been sitting here, for some days, at the Grand Hotel, broke up, yesterday. The Lonaou Index, the mouth*piece of this coun cil, at tho Grand Hotel, declares there is no doubt, from the, proceedings of the council, that negotiations are. now going on, between the European gov ernments, which will give quite a new turn to affairs in America; and this statement was printed in the rebel or gan, this morning, and by the Moni- tour. A member of tho council has been heard to assert, that there would be peace, between the north and south, on the basis of separation, by the 1st of May. Tho same correspondent says: We havo unmistakable evidence that at no time, since the commencement of the war., has there been so little like lihood of the recognition of the con federacy, as now.” Gov. Brown’s Message.—Were wo to use much space in commenting, at length, upon this miserable villain ous effort of Gov. Brown to still di vide our people, and overthrow our government, we could not put up an apology, that ought to be accepted by our readers. A wolf, in sheep’s cloth ing, is trying to sell our liberty, for personal ends : and the Georgia legis lature, since cotton cards are not so plentiful, have had the patriotism to virtually declare lnm the wolt that would devour the innocent and unsus pecting lambs. Brown should be avoided by all good men, as they would avoid disloyalty to their coun try, or resent an insult offered then- wives aud daughters. He who at tempts to divide, seeks to destroy us— nothing less—and all such persons should either be suspended, or banish ed from under the southern sky.—- Gainesville (Fla.) Cotton Stales. Hair-Pin Manufactory.—‘Mr. J. W. Young has commenced manufac turing hair-pins in Eufaula. The machine is one of his own invention. The Spirit says tho pins are equal to any foreign importation.
