FOR STATE SENATOR, lion. L. N. TRAMMELL, OF WHITFIELD. FOR lIEURESEN TATI Y'F., lion. .1. C. FAIN, OF CALHOUN. tUaijr The Legislature adjourned Tues day night. Bustr The rumors of peace in Europe seem to gather strength every day. Bto£T: The Rome Commercial and Courier are giving the Daily fits. The Express says Cartersville is to have a large, fine hotel, and a car fac tory soon. The Rome papers say “ Rill Arp ” will vote for Burnett. That will he the most ridiculous joke ever perpe trated by him, sure. iteaT' It is said that old Spooney But ler is in for another war. Our State and county fairs, with their innumer able premiums, probably makes him think the people of the South are again too well supplied with silver ware. The Talbotton Standard says matrimony and hot cakes are all the go in that county. A whole neighborhood was married last week. We charge young physicians nothing fur this notice of a good place to settle. - tad* Our friend, A. W. Mitchell, of Atlanta, has sold his beautiful farm, near Adairsville, to a gentleman who has lived iu Texas for the last 15 years, but now returns to Georgia, buys land and expects to speud the balauoe of his days in his native State.— Cartersville Ex press. A Handsome Compliment. —At the State Agricultural Society Banquet, Sat urday night, I)r. Gillem, of California, said that he had traveled all over this Cuion, and had seen the women of near ly every State, but in Georgia he found more of the jose on their cheeks ; more of tho ruby on their lips, more lustre in their eyes, and more elasticity in their steps, than he had seen in any other sec tion of the country. This tribute to our Georgia women brought down the house.— Era. ■» »- JNT* On Saturday night, the Houso committee, appointed to investigate the matter, reported a resolution in favor of purchasing J. 11. James’ fine residence as a Governor’s mansion. If the Legislature had lasted a little longer, they might have bought the H. I. Kimball House as a State Hotel, for the special accommodation of the colored members. The Senate concurred in the House resolution to purchase James’ residence for the Governor’s mansion. Joseph E. Brown, Chief Justice, re signed, was rc-appointed and confirmed in Executive session. J. M. Bishop was confirmed as Solicitor General of the Blue Ridge Circuit. The Senate lias confirmed Hop kins, a partner of Governor Bullock’s uncle, as Judge of the Atlanta Circuit. Hopkins is one of Bullock’s pets. Garibaldi and Booth. —Says the New York Season : “Garibaldi, the artis tic fresco painter, who decorated Booth’s theatre, sent in a bill lately for a piece of work. The bill was for one thous and dollars; Mr. Booth sent for Gari baldi and told him he could get the work done, if not as satisfactory to the con noisseur, just as good for the general public, for a price not exceeding four hundred dollars. ‘‘Ah, si Signor,” said Garibaldi, “I can go to zee Bowery and see Hamlet by same author as you play, same words as you speak for twenty-five cents, but if I want to see you play Ham let, I pay one dollar and fifty cents, and I do zee latter and so does zee whole country. Those that can appreciate zee Hamlet you can play can appreciate zee fresco work Garibaldi paints." Booth knocked under. A Swebt Adieu. —The following let ter was found in the hand of a captain, who had been killed at the battle of Woerth: My Dear Pa : Since you arc gone, T never cease to think of you. It is so hard that I cannot see and embrace you every morning, but I hope that God may preserve your health and that you will soon return and kiss your child. I be haved very well iu order to make moth? 4jr feel your absence less. Adie, dear pa; I kiss you tenderly. Your little daughter, who loves you. Marguerite." Quoting this, the Missouri Republi can says: ‘‘The French captain evident ly experienced joy in the hour of his last trial in the sweet words of love writ ten by his child, whom he was destined never more to sec. He closed his eyes for the last time on the field of honor, with her in I»L* band " The Great State Fair. On Thursday morning we Apok the, train for the Gate City, accompanied by* some of (MX male a*d female friends of l Calhoun —the" jovial and interesting crowd rendering the trip dswu very agreenbTeU Bv ille time we reached our destination, there was scarcely standing ! room for a diminutive poodle in some j of the long train of passenger coaches. We found the city, alive with people, i and ctU’in&ilies of every description, and j concluded that, us to number, the fair i • ’*• 7 whs already a success. The hotels and > public boarding houses were comfort | ably filled ; Rut there was room in many ! places fur ‘ a few more.” ' Friday morning found us one of a ! huge throng on our way to the Fair j train, for which we waited but a few i moments—the train making the round : trip every half hour. Just before get | ting aboard, we saw an old gentleman [ in great trouble, who had “lost his i pocket book,” through the unnoticed familiarity of a pick-pocket, and almost j wished it had been (fur own purse. (The thief would doubtless have quit the business in disgust, if it had.) Arriving at the grounds, the heavily loaded train was quickly emptied, and in a very few minutes the thousands of passengers had passed through the gates. The railroad arrangements were the most perfect we have ever seen on such an occasion. Asa matter of course our steps were first turned toward the large and splen did hall devoted to the exhibition of the skill of our people in the prepara tion and production of the good things of life for the inner man. It would require column after column of this pa per to mention everything on exhibition in regular order, and speak of their merits. In the vegetable line there was everything common to the season. And then there was every species of preserves, pickles, specimens of cooking. Ac. &c. This department was indeed attractive, and was constantly thronged. Other immense halls were devoted to the arts and sciences, manufactures, agricultural products &c. —every imagi nable branch of industry being well represented. We doubt if a fuller or better general display has ever been seen in Georgia. Next our attention was turned to the stock department. Horses, eatrle, hogs, sheep, poultry; were exhibited on a grand scale ? and it must be a source of gratification to all philosophic men to witness the rapid strides that some parts of our state are making toward profi ciency in stock raising. We witnessed several interesting trials of speed on the race course during Friday. Saturday morning was delightful.— A bright, cloudless sky overhead, and thousands of cheerful faces on every hand greeted the eye. Arriving at the Park even at an early hour we met thousands of people there —friends, ac quaintances, and strangers from the North, South, East and West. By noon it was said that 25,000 people had entered the gates, and the cry was “still they come !” The rich, deep tones of a magnificent Knabe Piano, the chatter of human voices, the crowing of chick ens, lowing of cattle, the crying of ba bies, the loud voices of prize candy sellers, and the * rough monotonous sounds of the hand-organ were blended into one great medly. Everything and everybody seemed ready for a big day's sport. On this day a number of premiums were awarded for cattle, mules and horses—Mr. Peters taking several of them on his stock carried from our own county. Then came races, but everybody was disappointed, and lost interest in them, because they were “against time.” At 12 o’clock, the programme said the inevitable tom-foolery of a “ base ball match would begin, aud nearly every body left the amphitheatre and exhibition ring in search of something entertaining—so the b’hoys were left to sweat it out on their own hook. But by two o’clock the people began to gather again. They come from the halls, the stock pens, the side shows, skating rink —everywhere. The grand event of the week—the tournament—to take place at three. Long before that hour, the spacious amphitheatre was packed with its five or six thousand, the race track, ou both sides was lined with its thousands—all seeking the best site from which to view the knightly con test. A little after three o’clock the kuights entered the track and were admired by the waiting host as they rode around. There were twenty-four knights, head ed by the Vice President of the Socie ty, Mr. M. E. Kenny. The names and i characters were as follows : Alexander, Knight from Cswifc chee. Archer. T. Knight of Spain! Allen. James, Knight Rob Roy. Aycock, Knight of Euharlee. Collins. Knight of 1776. Conyers James,, Ivnigbfc of Etowah. Dobson, W. G. Knight William Wal lace. Hightower, J. W. Knight of the | White Gauntlet. > Kenny, M. E. Knight of the Red mtui? '■ ■ * * ~” Kries, G. Knight Imperial Guard of France. Lyons. TIG. Knight Robert A boo. Ue, R. P K night Boy of the Period. . * Mfegill,VU P. Knight White Tent her the Pirusan. Yhorter, M. Knight Red Jacket Milledge, Knight of the 19th eentu ry. McCarson, Knight Cherokee Chief. Nesbitt.

Knight Florane the Bandit of Syrachse. Westmoreland. Knight Black Prince. Kirkland Knight Lost Cause. The first and second trials were made, and more than half of the last completed, when Mr. Kenny and Mr. Hightower indulged in the home stretch for speed. Coming to the short curve elos§ togeth er, they ran over a horse held by a ne gro on the track thrownng both horses and riders to the ground. Mr. High tower was quickly on his feet again but is said to be , seriously injured. Mr. Kenny, together with his horse, was precipitated over the outside railing, his head striking as he went over, and pro ducing almost instant death. Then there was a silence along the whole line, and soon a rush made for the spot, by a thousand people. The scene was changed from gayety to pro found gravity. Mr. Kenny’s remains were carefully cared for. and brought to the city.— The heart-rending scene which wo wit nessed as his much loved wife, and sis ter, sought to bring back life we will not attempt to describe. The knights escorted his body into the city. The tournament was suspen ded, and all, excepting the showmen, left Oglethorpe Park with sorrowed hearts. We think about 30.000 people had visited the Park up to Saturday night. There were ample preparations we think, for twenty thousand more. Everything considered, this has been the best managed State Fair ever held in Georgia. In every department, it is a grand success. [COMMUNICATED.] Jefferson Cos., Ala., j October 24th, 1870. j Mr. Editor :—lf there is any sub ject besides the approaching elections, engrossing general attention in Alabama, it is the six hundred and twenty Chinese laborers, employed upon the Northern division of the Alabama and Chattanoo ga Railroad. Now, sir, a majority of the people of the South would be glad to learn that Chinese labor upon railroads is a com plete success ; that Chinamen bid fair to make the of house and field ser vants; and that the day is not far dis tant when negro indolence, exaction and independence shall be swallowed up by thousands of “the quiet, frugal, indus trious Asiatics from the Celestial em pire ” But your Times has nothing to do with fine, fanciful theories of what may be and must be. It deals in facts as thmj are ; therefore. I propose to give your readers a candid glimpse of the Chinamen as they are in Alabama, leav ing them to draw their own inferences concerning the future of the Mongolian gentlemen. The African and the Mongolian, as you are aware, are two distinct races, possessed of traits as widely differing as their complexions, features and hair. Upon a railroad they may be thus con trasted : At day-break the negro rolls himself out of the bed of ashes into which he threw himself at midnight, ex hausted by violent jig dancing or pray ing, stirs up the embers and cooks a hasty breakfast. The bracing atmos phere. and the varied sights and sounds i of animated nature, rouse the imagina | tive and poetic in his soul (?) and lie ; trudges away to his labor with light steps, making the hills resound with his meaningless shouts and songs. All day long he works, and if under the right kind of an overseer, he works with a will. He keeps time to the movement of his muscles with singing. The longer he works and the more he sweats and | shouts, the greater seems to be his en thusiasm and the lighter his labor.' Six | o’clock comes, he shoulders his shovel i and again he wakens the echos on his homeward way. Supper is soon dis patched ; he has little time to spend on cookery. However ragged, filthy and lousy he may be, it’s all the same to him; j he has no time $ spend on personal com | fort and neatness, for that requires work | for which he gets no pay. Careless of ; the present, thoughtless of the future, , he fiddles, dauces and prays, till ex i hausted nature gives way. and he drops i on his comfortable couch beside the dy ! ing embers. John Chinaman has no music in his | soul, no joetry, none of the imaginative. | Life to him is sober earnest. He des | pises noise. He looks with contempt I upon his sable co-laborer, because ‘-He I too wuchee black, he too umehee noisee, :he too muchee stinkee." John's all ab sorbing thought is the future and how to provide for it. Long before daylight he rises and rolls up his mats and blan kets with special care. His body must be thoroughly washed. llis ; ‘lice" (rice) must go through different procosses of c]printing before it w ready so eook ~ Breakfast, with all its deliberate prepar ations, requires atleast two hours. Then comes the dreaded work time, and lie goes figrth with the droning step <jf the sluggard. If he can contrive to arrive on the work five m mutes lase, he counts "it so much in. True, sixteen dollars a month in gold, is just six times the com pensation in his own country, but his whole .aim and study must be' how to train the much coyeted gold with the least possible personal inconvenience.— John will labor hard to set his ovens iu the ground, build arbors to shade his tent, wash and mend his clothes, tote barrels of water and cords of wood, be cause the benefit to be derived there from is personal and immediate. The sixteen dollars comes but once a month, and if he only has to be on the work and go through the motions ten hours each day, why should he be so foolish as to fill the shovel and barrow? No, no, “too muehee workee no good—hands too muchee sore—backee too muehee lame— tu nar mar , bossee!” John cares no more for a boss or the words of a boas, than for the passing wind. He will work just as he pleases and where he pleases if it kills him. Should the boss liave the audacity to strike the sacred body of one. the whole six hundred are struck and ready to go for and massacre him, if he does not “retire in good or der.” In short, sir, a more stubborn, lazy, clumsy, resentful, revengeful, good for-nothing set than these Chinese, can not be found on the footstool. But we are told that on the Pacific railroad they were excellent labor. Yes, and why? Because, solely,* that out on the frontier troops were stationed by them to protect them from the Indians, which troops also served the double purpose to intim idate and drive them to their duty. In only one respect do I find the Chinese superior to the negro, with all his faults, and that is in personal neatness and quiet. Among these there may be found ex ceptions who are all that could be de sired in faithfulness, but they are few and far between. Hundreds of heathan banded together in force sufficient, in their conceit, to cope with any power that might be brought on to coerce them, shrewd, cunning, indolent, treach erous, what can be expected of such as laborers ? If this or any other compa ny expects to get their money’s worth from Chinese, it must be done by armed compulsion. Chinamen at best on American soil. Mr. Editor, are a bad job. If any one is disposed to question these assertions, let him freely address Yours, J. A. Rucker. Trials of the “Old Flag.” Most of our readers have probably heard something of the hauling down and then hoisting again of the United States flag at the State Fair Grounds at the commencement of the fair. In answer to a self-constituted committee of citizens, Mr. Y'ancy wrote the follow ing reply, which explains itself: That “the flag of our own Govern ment was excluded ”is false. The flag is of the United States is still over the tent for exhibition of some of the ar ticles, and it was my express order not to remove it from “amid the national ensigns of France. Great Britain, Prus sia, Austria and other countries.” The United States flag was hoisted without authority of the committee, by persons unauthorized, and. therefore, the act was simply void, and as if it had never been dune. As to the request published in the Era , and signed by fifteen persons, alleged to be “ Democrats,” I have sim ply to say, I am satisfied some of those persons signed that request without due reflection as to the impropriety of their act; and interfering with an invariable custom and rule of the Society, have created unnecessary difficulties, and which due reflection, perhaps, might have avoided. Some of them have been notorious for inflammatory attacks upon the re construction acts and government of the U nited States. But I avoid a discussion farther of that request. My conserva tive course as to the reconstruction acts was denounced and opposed. My al legiance to the Constitution and govern ment of the United States is beyond question, but I am a Democrat and un flinchingly oppose the Radical party. I am mi bought and unpurchaseable, and so long as I retain the position of Pre sident of the State Agricultural Society, it shall not be run by or dictated to by intermeddlers of the Radical party. We print, also, the following corres pondence as part of the history of the old flag’s tribulations. It is an inex pressible consolation to know that re placing the flag saved the Fair from the overwhelming misfortune of being “cut” by Bullock: By Telegraph from Oglethorpe Park. ) October 20, 1870. j To His Excellency. Gov. Bullock: Con. Yancey has directed that the flag taken down yesterday bv his order, from the private flag pole of Mercer & Woot en, to be replaced, and it is now in its place. J. C. Kimball, Superintendent. Executive Department, ) Atlanta. Ga.’, October 20. 1870. j J. C- Kimball , Superintendent Ogle thorpe Park: Your dispatch received. I am gratified to know’ that the Ameri can flag is now T allowed to float at the fair grounds, and sfuill visit the exhibi tion to-morroic. - Rufus B. Bullock. The Post band was also withdrawn by order of Gen. Terry, on account of the “ insult to the national flag," but was allowed to return as soon as the flag was again run up. The whole thing was a most foolish affair. Democratic Circular. . The lolly wing has just been issued ; Rooms of the National Democratic Executive Washingttm. D' C, October 21, 1870.—The National Democratic Congressional Ilesideut Com mittee tender their congratulations to she Democratic and Conservative voters of the three great States of Pennsylva nia, Indiana, and Ohio for their recent successes over the corruptions of Radi calism. aided.,as the Radicals liave been, by a profligate and desperate adminis tration at \\ ashingtmi. In Pennsylva : uia a gain of five members of Congress j has been secured. The Radical major- I ity of last year has been largely rwlueed I in each branch of the Legislature, and j there is a decided majority in the State on the popular vote against the admin istration. In Indiana the State has been redeemed from further Radical misrule, by the election of the Demo cratic and Conservative State ticket, carrying with it a gain of two members of Congress and a majority in each branch of the Legislature. Economy and reform are thus made sure to the people of that State in the immediate future. In Ohio, the Radical majority { of tw > years ago lias been reduced more than half, and the leader of the Radical i corruptions in this present Congress has been defeated. We now appeal to the Democratic and Conservative voters of the States iu wLiieh elections are about to be held to make further and more determined efforts in behalf of a restora tion of an honest administration. We ask that they disregard threats from any i central source, and pay no attention in any respect to the proposed use of the military power of the (government iu the local management of elections in the States. Let the doors of our organiza tion be thrown wide open for the ad mission of all who desire economy and honesty in the management of the pub lic treasury, so that tile present burden oi taxation may be thereby mitigated, regardless oi former issues or past politi cal associations or names, and bring about entire co-operation among all who seek a restoration of the Union founded upon peace and good will among their fellow-men, and a return to strict in tegrity among the public officers of the nation. [Signed] S. J. Randall, Chir’mn N. L. Jeffries, Secretary. Earthquake Reports. Washington, Oct. ‘2o.—The quake dispatches from nearly all points in New York and the -North say no serious dam age or 1 i ss of life has been reported. At Boston the buildings sensibly vibrated. There was much alarm among the peo ple employed in upper stories. The block of granite on the corner of State street and Merchants’ row was cracked. Another block was forced outward three or four inches. The shock lasted thirty seconds. The shock was felt at Mon treal, Saekville and Bangor, with much force. At Burlington, Vermont, the shock stopped the clocks and destroyed crockery. No serious damage. At Brunswick, Maine, it threw down chim neys. Its direction was northeasterly southwesterly. At St. Catharine, win dows were broken. At Saratoga, some of the buildings were much damaged.— The shock was preceded by a rumbling sound. At Troy, five hundred school children were panicked by the shock. At Readout this morning the earth quake shook the houses to their founda tions, ®and sent the people staggering about. At Portland, about 300 feet of bed on the Ogdensburg Railroad, across Otter creek,, in Standish, settled ten feet during the earthquake. At Ithaca, 11 o’clock this morning, there were throe shocks, lasting three-quarters of a min ute, and the people fled from then houses. At Albany, it had a marked vibration, a rumbling noise was heard during the shock, and the mercury in the registering barometer was violently agitated. At Cooperstown, 11a. m., the shock was felt very brief. A Washington correspondent of tke Tnbune says with the highest authority that the British Government has concluded that the time had arrived for making another effort at an armistic. Bismarck favors an armistice.for a con vention of the Constituent Assembly, but insists that an armistice must in volve an impracticable basis for peace. There is but a chance that the present effort may produce a suspension of hos tilities. The Worlds special says : Gladstone and Granville spent a whole day with the Prussians, Austrian and Italian em bassadors. and General Doyer. who came recently from Metz. General Doyer had visited Napoleon’s Secretary and the Empress, and reported Emperor, Empress, King, Bismarck as already upon a project of peace involving six thousand million francs in cattle, horses, grain, wine, and oil to Prussia. No cession of territory unless Alsace votes for annexation. Bazaine, on leaving Metz proclaims the Prince Imperial Emperor and Euge nie Regent. It is added that the solu tion depends absolutely upon King William’s acceptance of the proposition. It is insisted upon by the powers that the cession of Alsace must be determin ed by the people. The project also involves the dis mantlement of the fortress fin Eastern France. It is rumored that if Prussia objects to the plebiscite in Alsace, the powers will compel Prussia’s withdrawal from France. Xort ne r x Visitors to the South. —A Washington telegram to Forney's Press of Wednesday says: The fashionable travel heretofore tending steadily Xorth will now turn Southward to enjoy the sweet winter weather of our tropical States. And it is computed that the migration this year will be greater than at any former period, especially to such points as Co lumbia, S. C., Macon and Savannah. ►Ga., and Jacksonville and F’ernaudina. Florida. Those who follow the seasons for the sake of fashion and health have now the opportunity of enjoying that rare delight by every manner of agree able and water communica tion. General Lee. This eminent American soldier and f right Christian gentleman, was born Virginia in 1808. lie was the son of General Henry Lee. of Revolution ary fame —- Light Horse* Harry" of Washington’s staff. Gen. Lee gradua ted at West Point second in his class, in 1829. and was commissioned in the highest grade of tfie service, the Topo graphical Engineers of the United States Army, j His first duty was that of astronomer in settling the boundary Hues of Ohio* ancl Michigan in 1835* —promoted as First Lieutenant in 183 G, aud Captain in 1838. He was Chief Engineer to General Wool’s army hi Mexico, and his gallant conduct at Uerro Gordo, Chcrubusco, Chapultepec, where he was severely wounded and gained promotions to the Brevets of Major, Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel. In 1852 he was appointed Military Superintendent of West Point, and in 1855, relieved from duty and promoted to Lieutenant Colonel of the Second Cavalry. In March, 18G1, he was Col onel of the First Cavalry, and on April 25th of that year, resigned and joined , the Southern Confederacy. Three days before this he was appointed Major Gen eral of the Confederate army, and of all the forces in Virginia, ami soon aluu\ < (■ener»l of tAo»* nrmy. Ills fil'St battle after this was in the western part of that State, where on October 3.1861. he was defeated by General Reynolds (a native of Pennsylvania, who subsequently was killed at Gettysburg, near Greenbrier, lie was then transfered to the depart ment of the South Atlantic coast. After General Johnston was wounded at Fair Oaks, General Lee commanded the army for the defense of Richmond, and for flic remainder of the campaign of the Chickahomin v. In August, 1562, ho attacked General Pope’s army in Vir ginia, driving him hack to Washington, and crossing the Potomac, near Lees burg, on September 6, occupied Freder ick. in Maryland He was defeated by General McClel lan in the battle of Antietam, and re tired again into Virginia, having gained but little by the advance, and lost noth ing by the fetrent. lie' continued in the service until his final surrender to General Grant in 1865. Since the war General Lee has been President of Washington College, Lex ington, Virginia. —Northern payer. Washington, October 23.—The President, Secretary of War, aud Secre tary of the Treasury, replying to ques tions, disavow having sold knowingly, to France or its agents, any arms. The bid of a known agent of France was re fused. 'These sales of arms are in pur suance of a policy before the German war, and the government has no power to restrict American citizens in the dis position *of arms so purchased within n utrality laws. The Prussians have occupied St. Quentin. The Secretary of State has notified the representatives of Spain and the South American Republics that a con vention for the adjustment of their difficulties will meet next week. Londdon, October 25.—The Times has a Berlin special to the effect that the late pence negotiations are defeated by Prussia # demand# -for French terri tory. The Times editorially advises the British Government to cease efforts to stop the war, saying if England persists she must be ready to stake something on it.. The Standard says Eugenie and the powers at Versailles are actively negoti ating with view to her resumption of the regency and the negotiation of peace. Bazaine ignores the provisional Gov ernment in his communications. T 1 :ie Herald’s special from Loudon says the city is excited over the French loan of ten millions sterling, from the fact that this is the first time the French have offered a loan outside of France. The loan has received great favor. The subscriptions already very large. Washington, October 25.—Specials sent lienee to-night, says the President has ordered between three and four thousand troops to the vicinity of New York, to enfor<jgv. r Oougressionul law on election day. These troops include the entire Eighth Infantry from South Carolina, also from Philadelphia and Brooklin Navy Yards, troops from Forts Miflin and Deleware, New* London and Boston. Specials also state that the ad ministration, distrusting McDowell, has placed Gen. Terry in local command. The England armistice movement aris es from an adprehension of the design of Prussia and Russia to form a close alliance. It is known that Russia is quietly but effectually arming in spite of official denials. England sees that prostrating France loses her only strong alliance for the frustration of Russia’s Eastern schemes. Financial circles are uoeasy, and it is apprehended should the present efforts fail, that England will adopt stronger measures to sb>p the war. Berlin. October 25. —The Gazette reviewing the corcihtf>ry efforts says the Government entertains them to avoid further loss if valuable lives. Sehlestadt capitulated yesterday after a severe bom bardment. 2,400 prisoners and 120 can non were captured. The Government at Tours permits ex portation except Cereals to .Switzerland. The Barings deny investment on ac count of Napoleon. Fragments of the steamer Cambria have been washed ashore on the Irish coast. It is understood that the bombard ment of Paris will commence Novem ber Ist. The Prussians have 134 seige guns, and 20 more coming. The Ger man Princes loitering around headqnar ters have been ordered to report for du ty,, or go home. Morton declines the Flnglish mission, because the Indiana Legislature would elect a Senator adverse to the Adminis tration to fill his vacancy. The corres pondence between Grant and Morton is mutually laudatory. Three things to hate—Cruelty, arro gance and ingratitudo.
