THE PEACE. CONFERENCES.
Tiie third sitting of the Plenipotentiaries was
•hi on Saturday, when they agreed that the Ans
, i protocol, as accepted by Russia, should form
oasis ot their negotiations and signed that pro
pare and simple, giving it all the power and
<f preliminaries, and upon that proceeded to
discussion of the terms of peace. The Rus
- ins conceded all the demands of the Western
avers, almost without resistance.
A dispatch dated Berlin, the 4th inst., states that
Empemr Alexander had received at St. Peters
-ga notification from Count Orloff of the signa
:-,-e of the preliminaries of peace, and that his
Majesty had, on the 3d inst., i Monday,) transmitted
telegraph, to Count Orloff, a dispatch declaring
approval of the signature. The Russian am
bassador at Berlin had been informed of these cir
cumstances.

FRANCE.
T . • session of the Senate for the year 1856 was
nedon Monday, the 3d, by the Emperor in per
»in. who delivered the following speech :
•• Peers and Senators: —On the last occasion of
n-- imbling you, serious anxieties prevailed.
T ■ allied armies were engaged in a siege, where
tii.- obstiuaney of the defence raised a doubt of
„, ■ Europe, uncertain, seemed to be await
the end of the struggle before pronouncing
- if To maintain the war, I asked you for a loan,
tr-heli you voted unanimously, though the amount
n igiit have appeared excessive.
■ The rise in the price of provisions threatened
ti.- laboring class with general inconvenience, and
u disturbance of our monetary system caused a fear
ji ul T liusiiv-ss and labor would slacken. Thanks
!,. . ar aid and the energy displayed both in
France and England, and above all to the assis- .
s.stanc- - - f Prov idence, these dangers, if they have
n.i' eatiielv disappeared, have been for the most
part averted.
A great feat of arms at last decided in favor
of the allies, a struggle unexampled in history
far its inveteracy. From that moment the opin
ion i.f Europe was more openly expressed. Our
, sncYs were everywhere extented and strength
■•Ttie third loan was completed without difficul
ty In country gave me afresh proof of its cou
ti-i-i,- e bv subscribing for a sum five times larger
;~a that 1 asked for. It has supported with ad
mirable resignation the sufferings inseparable
fieai the dearness of provisions—sufferings alle
ria.ed bv private charity, by the zeal of the nm
iTa ipgiities, and bv the ten millions distributed to
tie departments.' The arrival of foreign grain
has . produced a considerable fall ; the anxiety
niscdbv the disappearance of gold lias dimin
-d. and never has labor been more abundant or
wages higher.
- Tjjj hazards of war have revived the military
si- rit of ti.i nation. Never have there been so
manv voluntary enlistments, nor so much ardor
amongst the conscripts designated by lot.
•' To this brief expose of the present situation
must he added facts of great political signification.
•• The Queen of Drear Britain, desiring to give a
proof of her confidence and of her esteem for our
country, and to make our relations more intimate,
cici- ' ; r into France. The enthusiastic welcome
she received ha- proved to her how profound were .
the sentiments her presence inspired, and was of a
nature to strengthen the alliance of the two peo
■ Tlie King of Piedmont, who, without look
lug behind him, embraced our cause with that
iiirag- ms spirit which he had before exhibited .
on the field of battle, has also come to France to '
cvn- crate a union already cemented by the brave
ry of his soldiers.
“ These sovereigns have beheld a country, late
ly -1 agitated and disinterested of its rank in the
■ .uneil.-'- of Europe, now prosperous, peaceable and
sjiccted—making war, not with the momentary
d diriums of passion, but with the calmness of jus- ■
tiee and the energy of duty-. They have seen that
Franc- was sending three hundred thousand men
• iss the seas, convoking to Paris at the same
time all the arts of peace, as if she meant to say to
Ter- e—'The existing war is to me only an epi
s do. My ideas and my powers are always partly
directed towards the arts of peace. Let us neglect
a idling for a good understanding, and drive me
t . throw into the field of battle all the resources
anti all the energy of a great nation.’
” This appeal seems to have been understood,
and the winter, by suspending hostilities, favored
'i.o intervention of diplomacy. Austria resolved
,i decisive step, which introduced into the de
liberations the entire influence of the sovereign of
a ’.ast empire. Sweden linked herself more close- :
iv to England and France by a treaty that guaran
teed the integrity of her Territory. Lastly, the
A ic ■ or entreaties of all the cabinets reaching St.
JVi, rsburg, the Emperor of Russia, the inheritor
cf a situation he had not created, seemed to be in
spired with a sincere desire to put an end to the
• auses that led to this sanguinary conflict. He de
n-rosined to accept the propositions transmitted bv
Austria. The honor of bis arms satisfied, it was
lo his own bonoi- to give way to the clearly ex
pressed wish of Europe.
“ The plenipotentiaries of the allied and bellige
• n? powers are now assembled in Paris to decide
i the conditions of peace. The spirit of modera
:ion and equity that animates them all necessarily
creates the hope of a favorable result. Neverthe
less, let us await with dignity the end of the Con
ferences, and be equally ready, if necessary, to
d rev the sword anew, or extend a hand to those
whom we have fairly fought.
’ Whatever may happen, let us occupy ourselves
. the means calculated to augment tlie strength
and riches of France. Let us, if possible, draw
< -: dm alliance formed by a community of glory
md ".i niices, and of which peace will far better
x reciprocal advantages.
“ Finally, in this solemn moment for the desti
' ■! if w .rld, let us put our trust in God, to
si - ; i iHe may guide our efforts in a direc
.in conductive to the interests of humanity
and civilization.”

News by the Persia.
The news by the Persia is not of considerable
moment. In the British House of Commons Lord
, aimers ton announced that the preliminaries ot
peace had been signed bv all the representatives of
the several parties to the Paris Peace Conference,
and its tone appeared to imply a hope, and inspire
a, general confidence in the establishment of peace.
I he speech ot Louis Napoleon, which will he found
elsewhere, was marked by a similar character.
The Conference still continues sitting, but the na
ture or result of its deliberations are not permitted
to transpire.
A debate has taken place in Parliament on the
subject of Church rates in England, and a motion
in favor of abolition of the impost was carried bv
a large majority—Lord Palmerston and the mem
bers of his Government sustaining the rates. A
new measure of Education was introduced bv Lord
John Russell, but as it proposes the introduction
of religious as well as secular education, it is not
likely to succeed. A severe and bitter attack was
made on Lords Raglan, Cardigan, Lucan, the Duke ;
ot Cambridge, and Gen. Simpson, by Sir De Laev
: Evans, who exposed in strong and' forcible lan
guage the inability and corruption of the English !
military system. Rumors of a dissolution of Par- i
Lament were still afloat, but they are not reliable. I
In Ireland, the Tipperary Joint Stock Rank had i
tailed for £4oii,ouo, of which £200,000 was an over- j
draft of the late Mr. John Sadleir, and the remain- j
mg £200,000 is said to he connected with his diffi- :
eulties. Covert Garden Theatre has been destror
»‘d bv tire, and the ruins have been visited bv the ‘
Queen and various of the nobility. Mr. Gye is the I
present lessee. The loss sustained is computed at

ance.
From the continent the most important intelli
gence relates to the expected arrival of a new scion j
ot the Bonaparte family. The near relatives of j
the French Empress have left Spain for Paris in
order to be present at her confinement.

Jacksonville, March 20.—One of our poor 1
health-so! kingstrangers—tired and overborne with I
the pains and pangs of a diseased body, long en
dured and unassuaged by time or place—had hitn
selt conveyed into an adjacent wood, and deliber- ■
a‘eiy took his own life, yesterday. He had a bov
driving him in a buggv to the scene of the tragedy,
and on his way stopped at a gunsmith’s and there
purchased and j-n-re-l a pistol. He paid for it, got 1
his change, and drove on. Reaching a secluded ;
spot, he paid the’tioy for his driving, and the money !
for the hire of tlie vehicle, and told him to drive
hack. Tlie boy had hardly driven fifty yards,
when lie heard the crack of the pistol, and turned
hack and found the unhappy victim with his brains
blown out. He had put a" letter into the office,
which has been sent on to bis brother in Boston, \
under an envelope, by the postmaster. The body
was brought home to the Jtidson House, and to- i
1 lav respectably intern!. The name of tlie person
is J. N. Knox, of Boston, but for several rears a
resident of Alabama. Before committing the deed,
he had deposited about *i,ooo with the keeper of
the hotel, and took his receipt for tlie same. He j
was in extremely had health, scarce able to walk, ;
and had remarked that he had suffered more than :
forty deaths. “ I rncit gui palitur.” T.

| To t,ie Editor of the Constitutionalist:
j Real Estate in his last movement in the “main
battle, ’ presents an amusing front when he takes
up the position, “This is neither a |bngbear held
j U P to frighten, nor old fogyisin which abominates
j a change, because it is a change, but is the plain
; dictates of a mind taught and willing to be taught
by experience as exhibited in other cities,” and
I reminds me very much of the frequent verifica
| tions I meet with of the old saw, “a guilty con
j science needs no accuser.” With this remark, I
| would be willing to let all he has said rest with
j the people for what it may be worth, and trust to
i their discrimination in deciding the question of
I connection and subscription, but that his argu
! ments are so nicely fixed up that some little atten
tion < more, perhaps, than is due to either of us) is
necessary to determine where he has concealed the
i loose screws.
It is proposed in general terms iu the report of
i ihe committee ot thirteen, to sell the eighteen hun
dred shares of the Georgia railroad stock, now
owned by the city. If thev- had not seen how the
' details could be arranged to prevent a sacrifice,
it is presumable they would not have suggested
such a measure. I doubt if there is any man in
Augusta, unless it is Real Estate, who, if he
{ had eighteen hundred bales of cotton for sale,
| would insist on selling them at once, and in one
j lot especially, if it was known to him that there
was not any one man who would thus purchase
; them. The failure of the minority to turn up
•lack, at the late meeting, should be a warning to
Real Estate and others that in their eagerness to
accomplish their purposes they are liable to miss
the right path.
Real Estate says “Who will tell me that any
other place than the terminus of a railroad re
ceives the great bulk of the produce, the growth
of the country along or beyond its line?” and,
; unconsciously, perhaps, answers himself adverse
ly in the statement that Atlanta is progressing,
because, even with the incubus of connection, she
is the recipient of heavy articles from New Or
leans by the way of Montgomery, at such advan
tage as'to enable her to undersell Charleston, Sa-
I vannah and Augusta. These heavy articles seem
| to be a sort of extraordinary dispensation of com
; merce in favor of Atlanta alone, as it mav be in
ferred from the assertions of Real Estate, that no
j other town under the sun could survive a connec
tion. But I dare say there are some among our
j citizens who, in the* early days of railroads, re
member the importance attached to the idea of
j tapping the great valley of the Mississippi, for the
i identical purpose of participating in the trade of
| these heavy articles. It was not at that time pro-
I posed that Charleston or Savannah should supply
I the great West with Pork, Sugar and Molasses,
| but it was expected that they would be the recip
j ents of them and other Western products at less
I cost than by the dangerous and expensive route
(around the Cape of Florida. The prosperity of
Atlanta, if it proves anything, proves that its en
; terprising and industrious citizens have been wise
| enough to fasten themselves upon the connection,
| well knowing they were thus placing themselves
upon a living stream of commerce, which, as it
flowed on, would contribute to their success.
Athens has about the same natural local advan
tages as Atlanta, and Athens is at the terminus of
a railroad. It seems curious, in view of all that
| has been said against connection, but it is true, that
Athens is dying out commercially because she has
no connection. There is nothing mysterious in all
■ this, for Atlanta, like a great crane, has sense
; enough to know that eels are not the proper diet
■ for such birds.
Whatever is true of Atlanta with respect to some
j heavy articles, is also true of Augusta, and it is
; probable that Augusta can undersell both Charles
ton and Savannah in all products brought to her
: from the West ; lit is, of course, is'in accordance
with the universal laws of trade. Products from
the North, however, according to the same law,
: can be sold for less in Savannah and Charleston
than in Augusta, and for less in Augusta than in
Atlanta. This is not the secret of success ; it re
quires a long and weary apprenticeship and great
energy and industry to learn that, and prosper.
The unfortunate investments in paintery and put
terv along the lines of railroads in progress, may
indicate a strong disposition to participate in hum
bug, which is always more or less fashionable, hut
that does not prove that all who venture upon
schemes of improvement are prepared to sell their
birth right for a mess of potnge.
I remember the first steamboat built iu Savan
nah, and the curious crowd on the wharves in
Charleston, when she made tier first appearance
there. I remember the first iron horse that came
to Hamburg front Charleston. And I also remem
ber that there were old fogies in those days who
scoffed at the idea that there could be anything
j superior to a top-sail schooner, or ox cart, for the
; purposes of trade or travel. Remembering those
things, I am not surprised to learn that there are
; those who resist the connection of railroads in this
i city, and refuse to aid in the construction of the
Savannah Valley road, because they believe that
: trade will be so facilitated by them that the old
ladies of Carolina and Georgia will tramp off to
Charleston for their Hyson and Macuboy.

To the Editor of the Constitutionalist :
In my communication intended for the special
benefit of Richmond, as appears by the Chronicle &
Sentinel of last Friday, 1 did not aim to be smart,
and if anything in it produced a smarting effect, it
must have been the result of its truthfulness,
which, 1 will hope to ho excused for saying, was
not the result of effort or accident.
1 beg leave to the attention of your readers
to the following remarks, Richmond says : “ Now
will South Carolina, after spending years of labor
and untold millions of money, in creating a trade
like this, lie on her oars, and allow us to interpose
between that trade and her great seaport, to divert
it all to Augusta, and here bring in, not only the
competition of our own merchants, but the rivalry
of Savannah. She can cut us off without difficul
ty.” In answer to this I would ask, if the thing is
so easily done, why ha* not Charleston and South
Carolina come forward before this and cut us off at
once, by undertaking t<> build the Valley road to
Hamburg or Aiken, and preventing it, as they had
the power to do, from crossing the Savannah ? If
it would be so easy, then it would certainly be
easier for them now, as there would not he any new
interests or old business relations established in
Augusta to be bought up or otherwise dissolved.
The truth is, the people of Charleston and Savan
nah know they must inevitably participate in any
improvcinent in the trade of Augusta, and that if
her communication with them was cut off by a wall
of fire, it would be more detrimental to her than to
them. Suppose for a moment, that Richmond,
Real Estate, and their coadjutors were to fill up
the Savannah river with some solid material, (not
water, for of that they are afraid, and yet I have
no doubt would oppose the construction of an em
bankment to keep it out*, then our commercial
link would be broken; let them destroy the
bridges, another link would be gone ; and then let
them wall out the Waynesboro’railroad !! I What
would be the consequence? In about twenty-four
j hours tlie extension of the South Carolina railroad
to Anderson, Ac., would be decided, and it is pro
| bablc that in about the same time a line from
i Washington to the Central road would have friends
i ready to start that enterprise: This is a supposed
I case, and if I am not much mistaken, these very
; active friends of Augusta would be pleased to see
; it realized, for 1 cannot see that their policy leads
!to anything else. 1 have nothing to do with the
I motives at the bottom of their scheme, and I am
bound in charity to believe they think honestly
their course in this matter is the proper one for
their individual interests, and all I ask of them is
that thev will let their fellow-citizens aet freely in
accordance with their own convictions in matters
of which, considering their intelligence, they are
most probably as well informed as themselves.

“ I understand you are engaged to be married ” i
said a “satirical rogue” to a young man who was i
known to have no other idea'of a proper “qua'ifi
cation” for a wife than that she had monev. “Is
your intended a young lady of good moral char
acter ?”
“ Well, pis —tolerably fair; she has forty thous- ;
and dollars in her own right now.”
“ Is she accomplished ?”
“ Well, not exactly yd, but she will be. When
the ‘old man dies’ she will have thirty thousand :
more. You know there are only three children :
and the old man is as rich as Job was when lie
came into his last property.”
.Speaking of rnatriromy and money reminds us of
a very clever, but carelessly written poem, deliver- !
ed by a young lady of Madison (Georgia) Female ;
College, on its last commencement-day. It has
some telling “hits,” and some few phrases which !
show its Southern origin. We subjoin a few brief !
passages. It bears the appropriate title, “Has She '
any Tin?” “tin” and “spelter” being convertible ‘
terms for cash:
“ Away with accomplishment! charms, all awav !
Tell me not of proud beauty’s resistless array:
It’s nonsense, all witchcraft, a bundle of trash,
Things heeded alone by the foolish and rash.
Give me the rich lady, with purses of charms,
Who wins by her dai k-iVs, plantations, and farms;
Not beauty,' nor graces, naught’s wanted but
dimes—
They alone can console in these hard, hard times.
Your slender-built beauties, your delicate flowers,
The sunshine can stand, nor adversity’s showers :
Like the glittering ray-fish, they’re beautiful
things,
But you’d better not touch, and beware of their 1
stings.
Then accomplishments, extras —what won’t come i
up next ?
I scarcely can think of the things but I’m vexed ;
trench, Music, and Latin—the whole endless list ;
Could all be dispensed with, and yet never missed, j
Your opera music, your fashionable singing,
A sheep can surpass when his neck-bell is ring- i
ing I
our daubing with paint, and your working with !
(loss ;
This knitting and braiding, this patchwork of j
moss.
All heaped in a pile, make a beautiful mess
For a young lady’s fortune, I truly confess.
But there’s one humbug more, atid the least of the
train—
That vapor thatsnrings from the novelist’s brain—
The bubble called love, which its origin claims
Alone in the fancy of novel-spoilt dames.
1 presume it is true, as we’ve all heard it said,
It inhabits not seldom the college-boy’s head, j
Imparting a smoothness and softness of skin ’
That is equalled by naught but the softness within, j
Ah ! pitiful creatures, how can they esteem
.'so highly the visions of which they but dream?
But let them alone, they arc sure to repent
I'.re in life's busy battle they’ve many years spoilt.
When Poverty enters the threshold,' she makes it
A point to give Love through the window his exit:
And your lovely young wife, through the town all
extol her,
(’ant compare with the charms of the all-migldy
dollar.
For this i- a love which can long be enjoyed-
Not a dream, something real, and can’t be de
stroyed.
********
As to ladies’ accomplishments, tell me, 1 pray, |
Arc those not the thoughts of this audience to
day ?
Perhaps hot of all, but of many, I guess,
Who, if questioned, would quickly mr slowly) con- j
They have always committed that commonest sin
Os serving their favorite divinity, Tin.
Now do not repel the assault with a blush,
And declare you have never regarded the plush ;
It sticks out too plainly, when, anxious to hoar, j
You inquire so intently her income a \ear ;
Or, with head halt inclined, the sweet sound to ;
draw in—
‘Just between you and me, has she (jot any tin f j
And then can’t your motive be plainly discerned, j
When about some old Colonel you’re lnightTy con- j
corned :
Inquiring of weather, the prospect of rains,
How comes on the cotton, the corn crop, and
grains ;
But finding she’s rich, don’t know enough vet,
To he certain, must ask if her daddy’s in debt.
If every thing suits, and the investment is sure,
Then a quick introduction you’ll plan to procure.
But just let the answer he this : ‘ She is or,’
Then vour curious questions are whispered no j
more;
And turning away like a sorrowful churl,
‘ She looks like she might be a very nice girl.’ ”
That pun of “durk-iV*," and the "like” in this i
last line, are thoroughly indigenous.
1 low to name oct Tin: Skminolks. A writer in
the Tampa Peninsular, which, by the way, brings
nothing new from the Indian war, suggests the
following plan, or driving out the Setninoles :
1 would land five thousand infantry, divided in
to fifty companies of one hundred each, at flftv of
the most acccsshlc points, simultaneous)v, with at
least three months’provisions; let each cumpanv
build a blockhouse for the protection of the provi
sions, which can be done in one day ; leave ten j
men to guard each blockhouse; let the other nine- j
t v men operate as best they can, in small boats or j
on land, as their respective localities may require; |
at the same time let ten companies of horsemen
from the interior operate on the Indians on the
North side, while ten other companies guard our
frontier. If this, my plan, is adopted, I will forfeit
ray red shirt if a live Indian is left remaining at
large in Florida at the expiration of the tiiree
months.
The oflice of the city treasurer of New Orleans
was entered a short lime since and some S2OO
stolen therefrom. There were some $!J0,00o in the
ollice, but the thief was unsuccessful in finding it.
Exchange,
The above needs confirmation; for the impres
sion is general that the defaulter, Garland, made a
clean sweep of the treasury.

The most extraordinary discovery in the World it the
j Great Arabian Remedy for Man and Beast
H. G. FARRELL’S
j CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT.
THE beautiful and fertile region skirting the
desert of Arabia, abounds with rare plants
and odorous woods, whence are procured those aro
| rnatic gums and balsams of which this Liniment is
I composed, and by whose stimulating, unctuous and
; penetrating properties it is, when applied, diffused
’ through the whole nervous system, allaying the
> most intense pain in a few minutes. Try it, when
; you will be convinced that no preparation possesses
in so high a degree, its perfect anodyne qualities.
Its action is prompt and effective. It penetrates
the flesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, re
storing use to limbs paralysed for years, and where
the flesh has wasted away, leaving nothing but
! skin and bone, excites a healthy action, causing
new flesh to grow out and fill up the shrivelled
part. It restores the synovial tluid or joint water,
and this is the reason why it lias been so success-
ful in diseases of the joints. In affections of the
: Spine, Liver, Lungs and Kidneys, this great reme
-1 dy stands before any other ever produced. For
ague cake or enlargement of the spleen, it is a spe
| citie. For any internal inflammation, yon will find
it gives great relief. It has no equal in the world
| for Rheumatism—also, cramps, swelling, niimb
| ness, weak joints, Spine and Chest, pains, wounds,
I chilblains, burns, sore throat, bites of insects and
i reptiles, salt rheum, warts, corns, mange, and in
| deed nearly all diseases which require an internal
application, and many others, are greatly benefitted
i by it. It is used externally with great success in
goitre, or swelled neck, Scrofula or King’s Evil,
Liver Complaint, nervous diseases, Ac. For Horses
or Cattle, it is as effectual as in diseases of man.
Will cure any case of Sweeney in existence ; also,
Spavin, Splint, Ringbone, Big-head, Fistula, Farcy,
Foil Evil, Windgalts, Strains, Bruises, Ac.
Look out for Counterfeits !
The public are cautioned against another coun
terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called
W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan-
• gerous of all the counterfeits, because bis having
the name of Farrell, many will bttv it in good
; faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex
j ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error
; when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil
| effects.
The genuine article is manufactured onlv bv 11.
| G. Farrell, sole inventor and proprietor, and whole
j sale druggist, No. 17 Main street, Peoria, Illinois,
| to whom all applications for Agencies must be ad
; dressed. Be sure you get it with the letters 11. G. be
| fore Farrell's, thus—H. G. FARRELL’S—and his
| signature on the wrapper, all others are counter
i feit.
