From the Richmond Sentinel March %
Quito q sensatien-First Parade Of
Negro Troops In Richmond


The announcement the morning pa
pers that two companies of negro troops
would parade in the afternoon. attracted
great multitude ladies, military men,
civilians, boys, children, nurses, negroes
and Others, to the square, between four
and FIVE o'clock yesterday, to witness the
novel spectacle. The streets in the vi
cinity were also crowded with darkies
At half past four O'Clock the battalion,
composed of three companies OF white
valescents, from the hospital, camps
Winder and Jackson. and two coinpa.
nies of negro employees, who volunteered
for military service, marched down Main
street, under the command of Major
Chamblis. A brass band proceeded the
battalion, playing Dixie" and other pop
ular airs The sidewalks were lined
with spectators. Turning up Governor
street, the column marched to the square.
As they entered the square there was a
rush from all quarters towards the gates
and avenues leading thereto, everybody
seeming intent upon satisfying the
promptings of curiosity at the earliest
possible moment. The boys, who re
garQe0 tne WnOl0 aIlaI d. soIt VI uohCi
cheered and yelled very furiously, and
altogether the scene presented was quite
remarkable and almost ludicrous The
column filed to the right, halted and
faced towards the Capitol, the windows
of which were filled with ladies After
the troops were rested they wero review
ed by several officers, and then put
through the manual of arms
The crowd was so great that very few
persons witnessed the drill, but those who
did generally concurred in the opinion
that Sambo can be taught to handle a
gun as well as hoe. The parade lasted
but a short time. In about half an hour
the order was given to right face" " and
the battalion marched out of the western
gate of the square and returned to their
quarters The boys gave them parting
cheer.
The turn out was rather premature
The negroes were clad in Heterogeneous
garb instead of the uniform which invests
the position of soldier with its chief
attraction Still the people wanted to
see a specimen of the Corps d Afriqae,
and they were grati6ed. At the next
parade the negroes should be drilled.

Prussia to come to an understanding
with Austria, without which the Prus--

Prussia has important naval interests
on the northern frontier as Austria has
on her frontier Before these interests
are settled, Prussia cannot enter into any
discussion of the succession question. .

pool, February 2:
AMERICAN AFFAIRS.
The news Of the capture of Fort
Fisher added materially to the prevalent
depression among Southern sympathi-
zers. while the friends of the North were
corrcspondingly elated. Federal securi-
ties improved onehalf to two per cent,
while there was a corresponding fall in
the Confederate loan.
The reiterated peace rumors caused a
further decline in the Liverpool and Man
chester cotton market, but there was a
better feeling in Liverpool at the close.
1t was generally supposed that the fall
of Fort Fisher had closed Wilmington to
the blockade~runners, and had deprived
the South of foreign supplies.
The London Times says The policy Of
the North is evidently to isolate the Con
federates, as the first necessity for a
successful termination Of the war.
Minister Adams had long interview
with Earl Russell on the 2oth ultimo,
and this fact, at the present ,uncture, at
tracts comment
The news taken out by the Nova
Sco,ian Of continued Federal successes,
coupled with the reiterated peace rumors,
exercised a material influence ON the
English market for American securities
and produce.
Satterthwaite's circular says:
eve have to report very active and
excited market for American securities,
caused by the reports Of Federal sue
cesses, and the rapid decline of gold in
New York. The scarcity of five
twenties which exis ted for some time,
appeared, on the recent settlement, to
have increased, so that there has been
quite rush to cover bear sales, and
bonds which closed at forty seven this
day week came rapidly up until'they
touched fifty four"
The London Times publishes lengthy
opinion of William NJ. Evart, of New
York, on the power of English creditors
to recover debt in Federal courts on a
special basis. The opinion winds up as
follows:
"Foreign transactions are necessarily
made and expressed in foreign curren-
cies; to permit their discharge by an
equivalent in American currency would
be introducing a monstrous inequality
to the prejudice of foreign creditors,
which mi ght justly give offence; indeed,
our courts would thus be practically
closet against the enforcement of foreign
debts, and of consequent, commercial
credit, without which foreign commerce
cannot be carried on, and will fail"
