NEW York. Feb. Is.


The defeat of Austria in the German
diet, in regard to the mobilization of the
federal army, by Prussia was regarded
in England as very mfavorable. Prus-
sia has thus completely checkmated
Austria, and thereby preventing her
from having the command of the federal
army.
Prussia is preparing to take the field,
and the Government has decreased the
immediate mobilization of the Russian
army, and the fourth and sixth corps are
ordered to occupy Saxony and Selicia.
A Prussian dispatch addressed to the
Cabinet at London and Paris states that
the result of the last conference at
Vienna, harmonises with the views of
Prussia, and that she regards the ad-
mission of Prussian representative,
to the Vienna conference, as indispensa-
BILE to her accession to the treaty.
Denmark has appointed a military
commission to place the Danish forts in
state of defense.
The treaty between Sardinia, France,
and England has been published. Sar-
dinia engages to send fifteen thousand
men to the Crimea, under the command
of Sandman general.
England engages to lend Sardinia one
million sterling, or two if necessary, at
three per cent. and both France and
England guarantee to protect Sardinia
during the present war. A portion of
the French army has been detailed to
aid Austria, and will be marched
through Lombardy, to prove to the
Italians the reality of the Austrian and
French alliance.
The Turkish ambassador, at Vienna,
has received plenipotentiary powers to
attend the conference.
Dispatches from Conrobert dated
Jan. 10th, say the English had ceded
to the French a portion Of their lines;
namely, those commanding and destined
to batter breach in Malakoff town, on
which serious attack will soon be
made. The dispatch says there is much
grumbling among the British, respect
ing the alledged injustice and partiality
of the recent titles enforced upon Lord
Raglan.
Dispatches of the 18th, say there is
nothing doing.
1t is understood in camp that consid-
cradle deviation will be made from the
original plan OF attack, with view to
take important points.
Two divisions of the French army
are to take new position, with view
to stop supplies from reaching Sevas-
topol, by new road which the Rus
slams have made from Inkermann.
There is nothing doing by the British,
except getting up shot and shells, and
provisions from Balaklava.
The French and Russians exchange
but few shots, but a constant fire is kept
up by the rifiemen. The night of the
18th, was the coolest yet experienced.
A body of two hundred and fifty
Russians attacked a point on the French
lines, and sharp conflict ensued, I'M
which forty Russians were bsyoneted.
The French force now numbers eight
divisions, making $1,000 men; and the
ninth division is on the way to the
Crimea. On the night of the 18th, all
the bells in Sevastopol commenced ring-i

SCRAPS FROM THE CRIMEA.
THE ARRAY OF BATTLE.

The following extract from the letter
of French officer, dated Sevastopol,
Dec. 81, gives the. position of the al
lied armies at that time: "All along
the lines we are ready for the attack
The batteries only await being un-
masked to send forth their volleys. The
tower in front of the English, our brave
allies, and the Flagstaff Battery and
the Quarantine Fort, in front of us,
ethe three points the occupation of
which is most important. The town,
however, seems prepared for a vigorous
defence. Mud batteries and entrench-
ments stare us in the face. Traps of
every description are prepared for US
But nature has done more than man
to delay the ruin of this wonderful stu
ated city. Thus, behind the Flagstaff
Battery there is ravine, which will
have to be descended and then remoun-
ted, under cross fire from the Quar-
antine Battery and from part of the
harbor, to enable one to establish foot
ing on the plateau Of this city. This
plateau is covered with defenees, bat
teries and obstacles. The streets are
barricaded. The town itself is deserted,
silent, melancholy; the houses appear
to have been all abandoned, and the
windows are all open.- At rare inter-
walls a sentry may be seen on duty, or
a workman at his labor. There is no.
thing stirring to indicate that there are
living beings in this great city-not a
sign to denote the presence Of an army;
the voice Of the cannon is the only

DIVISION OF ONO INTO Two JUDICIAL
DIsTR1crs.-A bill has passed both
branches of Congress dividing Ohio
into two districts for holding United
States Courts. Hereafter the United
States Courts will be held in Cleveland
and Cincinnati instead of Columbus, a
most inconvenient location for the bust
ness of the State, which, in the United
States Courts, mostly originates either
on the shores of the Lake or the Ohio
Rivel. The Judge of the old Court,
Leavitt, will hereafter hold his sessions
IN Cincinnati.
The appointments under the new law
are as follows: H. ". Wilson, of Cleye-
land, Judge; H. J. Jewett, of Zanse-
vile, Attorney, and H. H. Robinson, Of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, Marshal. The
Washington correspondent of the Tri-
5une says the Ohio Loeofocos are ma
king fuss because Ranney, of the Su-
-preme Court, didn't get the appointment
of Judge. and will try to have Wilson
rejected by the Senate.

house in Allen county, Indiana, died
last week. Some of his friends, hear

body for the purpose of taking it to the
Catholic burying ground, in Fort

refused to give up the body, saying that
he had had the trouble and expense Of
feeding the man while alive, and he was
determined that his body should be
buried on the farm to manure it.

RINGS REMEDY

For Fever and Asue, Bil;Ous Remiftsat and m
termitteHt Fsuers, and all tkeiF kindred dis
sGsee.
There was time when Fever and Ague and
Bilious Remittent Fever were considered
endemlcs-the special scourges of particular
regions and localities. They seem of late
years to have escaped beyond their old bounda =
ries. They PrOstrate the population of old
settlements as well as new; they reach the
hilltop as well as sweep the marsh and the
forest; they prevail in nOrtherncities as well as
on the deltas of southern rivers, and in the
swamps of the Southwest Medical skill
seems to pit itself against them in vain
They triumph over all its stereotyped drugs;
they fasten themselves upon whole districts;
they appear to become even hereditary.
But at length Science, Research, and Ex-
pertinent have perfected the means of repres-
sing, checking and exterminating these dire
diseases. A preparation which has been
tested during six years of private practice,
and modified from time to time during that
period, until susceptible of no further improve
ment, is now ushered before the public under
the name Of RNG's REMEDY, as a positive and
invariable cure for Fever and Ague, Bilious
Remittent Fever, and all maladies which come
properly under the head of remittents and in
termittents. The proprietor of this great
medicine wishes it % 30 understood that he
introduces it as an nfssyLIBLE SPECIFIC. and
guarantees its ar form sEeeess This is bold
assumption, but it is founded on the observa-
tion of years, and the equally unqusifed
declarations of every patient-and the aggre-
gate amounts to some methousands-whoh have re-
sorted to it. The sufferer who may try the
"Remedy" will not have to wait long for
confirmation of these statements The mirror
will reflect day by day less saIlow and ghast-
ly face, as the supply of the medicine is di-
minished; strength, appetite, spirits will re-
turn; the duration Of the ehills and subse-
quent heats will decrease at each recurrence,
until these symptoms cease: and before a
month, and in some cases before a week is
over, the convalescent will be in a condition to
resume the duties of active life. There is no
such word as fail' with RING's REMEDY. The
effect is as invariable as it is salutary.
What householder, what traveller, then, can
afford, if health be valuable, to be without
this safeguard against class of diseases SO
universally prevalent as Intermittent and Re-
mittent Fevers To the western pioneer and
the city resident it is alike Indispensable; and
if taken occasionally during the warm season
it will be found an admirable preventive Of all
endemics and epidemies produced by an i'm
pure atmosphere.

ScorT.-WAsHINGToN, Feb. 12, 1866
The passage of the joint resolution au-
thorizing the creation of the Office oil
Lieutenant General, as a special honor
to Major General Scott, has been the
cause of great rejoicing. Col. Preston's
house is crowded to night by the friends
of the Commander-in- Chief. Gen.
Shields and Douglas both electioneered
in the House in favor of comforting the
title. Upon ascertaining the vote, Col.
Preston drove to the War Department
where he announced the intelligence to
Scott. The General dropped his head
for moment, and tears were seen trick
ling down his cheek. His reply was
worthy of his fame, and was precisely
as follows:
"Let no man say, hereafter, that his
country is ungrateful to one who has
served her faithfully"

While there is not another town in the
Union but pride is takes to provide wa
ter for the benefit of its citizens, the
wise trustees 81. Gallipolis, whose duty
It is to keep tie pumps in repair, have
taken equal pride to withhold the cool
and sparkling from ours. They have
squandered the peoples money in use
less improvements about the wharf, but
when requested to expend a small sum
for the real benefit of the citizens and
our town, and provide against any acci-
dent by fire, they turn deaf ear to all
entreaty. Our town has been left un-
protected by these wise fathers until
winter is nearly over, and the danger by
fire thereby lessened, and we presume
nothing wm be done towards rapairing
these pumps by the present board;
More money was uselessly expended ID
removing couple of old logs which
had lain imbedded in the Ohio river at
the foot of the wharf probably for up
wards of century, than would keep
the pumps in repair for FIVE years
Moreover the logs were drawn out and
allowed to remain on the bank until
sufficiently dry to float, when they were
sent adrift, and ere this may have again
become soaked with water and settled
directly in the channel of the river,
where they will be liable to cause
more destruction to property in one sea-
son of navigation, than they would in
fifty years at the foot of our wharf
We may hear sad account from those
logs, by the numerous boats navigating
the Ohio, but what care our trustees
whose property is destroyed on the pub
lie highway, they have rid themselves
of an eye-sore, and even if the destruc-
ton is attended with the loss of life, it
matters not with these weak-eyed gen.
tlemen. Would it not be better policy
for those logs to have remained i'm
bedded in the river, where no harm
could result from them, and the money
squandered in their removal applied to
the public pumps, and thus afford some
protection in case of fire? One bucket
of water timely applied has been known
to save thousands of dollars worth of
property, but here in such an emergen-
cy no water can be obtained short of
the river. In this matter our trustees
have been guilty of stubbornness unpar-
alleled by corporate officers in any town
of the same population in the country.
There is one thing certain, the time
is short between this and the expiration
