The Fall of DuppeI.

The great Danish fortress of Duppel,
the siege of which by the Prussian troops
began in February last, has fallen into
the hands of the besiegers. The Danish
garrison of twenty-six hundred men, with
ninety guns, have fallen into the hands
Of the Prussians, and the Prussian loss in
the assault is set down at six hundred pri-
Yates and sixty officers. The lombard
ment of this stronghold has been going on
steadily since its investment, without
very great loss of life. The Prussians
made two assaults upon the works, and
the Danish troops made several brave
sOrties upon the enemy's lines. The fall
Of the place, under the circumstances of
the siege, was inevitable but it was sup
posed that the Danes would evacuate it
st the last moment, and cross the Sound
on their ponto0ns to the Island of Alsen.
The assault of the Prussians doubtless
prevented this. The Allies have now
only to take Alsen to make themselves
masters of the whole of Schleswig and
we have dispatch that this has been ef-
fected, but its authenticity is doubtful,
There were immense rejoicings and il
luminatiOns in Prussia over this victory,
and the King sent the following rather
loud dispatch to Prince Frederick Charles,
commanding the Prussian troops:
Next to the Lord of Hosts, | have to
thank my splendid army and the leader
ship for the glorious victory of this day.
Express to the troops my highest acknoWl-
edgment and my royal thanks for their
performances" 49, -es .as
This result, just preceding the meeting
of the London Conference on the Danish
question, will greatly. tend to simplify its
deliberations.-M T. Times.

How Florence Nightingale
Looks.

A late English publication describes the
personal appearance of Miss Nightingale
as follows: | assure you that | was not
glad to be obliged to speak just then, for
felt quite dumb as looked at her vast
ed figure and thes short brown hair, comb
ed over her forehead like child's cut SO
when her life was despaired of, from fe-
yer, but a short time ago. Her dress, as
| have said, was black, made high to the
throat. its only ornament being large
enameled brooch, which looked to me
like the colors of a regiment surmounted
with wreath of laurel, no doubt some
grateful offering from our men. To hide
the close white cap little, she had tied
a white Grape handkerchief over the back
of it, only allowing the border of the lace
to be seen, and this gave the nun-like ap-
pearance which first struck me on enter
ing the room otherwise, Miss Nightin-
gale is by no means striking in appear
ance. Only her plain black dress, quiet
manner. and great renown, told so pow
erfully altogether in that assembly of
brilliIrt dress and uniforms. She Is very
slight. rather above the middle height !;
her face is long and thin, but this may be
from recent illness and great fatigue
She has a very prominent nose, slightly
Roman, and small dark eyes, kind, yet
penetrating; but her face does not give

looks quiet, persevering, orderly, lady

Our Resources.

Robert j. Walker contributes to the
May number of the Continental the fifth
letter of his series on american Finan-
ces and Resources" containing a number
of elaborate statistics which show how far
in advance of the slave are the free States.
By way of recapitulation, Mr.. Walker
concludes as follows:
at is thus demonstrated by the official
statistics of the census of the United
States, from 1870 to 1860, that the total
annual product Of the Free States per
eapita exceeds that of the Slave States
largely, more than two to one, and inelu-
ding commerce, very nearly three to one.
As regards education, also, we see that
the ratio in favor of the Free States is
more than four to one in 1850, (4.12 to
1929 and, in 1860, more than FIVE to one
(3.12 to 1905. And even as regards ag-
ricultural products, we have seen that
those of the Free States were 50, ,527, ,675,-
600 per annum, and of the Slave States
only Ss62, ,354, 600 The value of the lands
Of the Free States was s25.19 per acre; of
the Slave States only S10.46 per acre; the
product of the improved lands of the Free
States was S26.58 per acre, and the Slave
States $ll55, while. per capita, the result
was sI3l.4s to s7O.56.
These facts prove how much greater
the crops of the Slave States would be, if
their farms Including cotton) were culti-
waited by free labor. 1t is also thus dem
onstrated how completely the fertile
lands of the South are exhausted and re-
duced in value by slave culture. Having
thus proved, deductiyely. the ruinous ef-
fects of Slavery, l will proceed, in my
next letter, inductiyely, to exhibit the
causes which have produced these re-
markable results"

Incident of the war i'm LOUIS

\ correspondent of the st. Louis Re
publican, writing from Hatchitoehes, Lou
isana, April 5th, says: The rebels are ma
king desperate efforts to callect force to
stay our march to Shreveport and Upper
Texas The division of WALLER and Nor
TON are now at Pleasant Hill. GREEN,
who is probably the best fighter the en-
emy have west of the Mississippi, has
came on from Texas with at least seven
regiments of pretty fair cavalry. PRICE
has probably arrived at or near Shreve-
port, with his forces Magruder has sent
from Houston all he can spare. In all,
think the rebels will muster, between
this point and Shreveport, about twenty
thousand infantry and five thousand cav
airy.
While there is some good fighting ma
terial in this force, there is much in differ
ence or dissatisfaction. Since we left
New Iberia we have captured about three
hundred prisoners, and have seen many
of them who were not at all sorry to be
taken. One member of Texan regiment,
whom we captured in reconnaissance j
have described, on being brought in sta
ted that he was born in Indiana. '-How
did YOU come TO be in Texan regiment"

Garlbaldi Cuts short His Tour.

Garibaldi's tour in England has been
brought to sudden halt, and the Gsner-
al was preparing to return to Caprers. 1t
was said that his health was iDjuriously
affected by the excitement produced BY
the fotes, and that the physicians recon-
mended this course. It was asserted, on
the other hand, that the British Govern
ment, influenced by Napoleon, had re-
quested him to leave, and also that the
Cabinet thought that the popular agita-
ton in England had reached fever
height. The Paris Aonite1r, Lord Palmer
ston and Lord Clarendon deny any action
by Napoleon in the matter. Garibaldi
received the freedom of the city of Lon
don subsequently, and promised to visit
some rural districts. The sum of $40, COO
had been subscribed at the Duke Of Suth-
as the commencement of fund
TO make permanent provision for the
General and his family.
