COUNT BIsMARcK.-The recent
splendid successes of Prussia in the
German war have all been owing to
the great energy Of Count Bismarck, the
Prussian Prime Minister. Yet even
he, the greatest man of the time in the
Prussian camp was overlooked during
the excitement following the decisive
battle of Sadowa. On the day of that
contest a correspondent writes, the
Prussian headquarters were advanced
from Gitschin to Horzits, towns in
Bohemia, but at the latter place, owing
to the absorbing interest universally
felt in the battle, no preparations had
been made to receive them. At night
fall Count Bismarck arrived at Hor-
zits. He was hungry and weary, but
all the houses were closed; there
was no bread, and ell the straw in
the neighborhood WAS in use for the
wounded men of the Prussian army.
In this state of affairs the great Prus
sian laid down on the pavement of the
Place of Horzite," and without
pillow, slept that pleasant sleep which
the soldier who has won victory
knows"

Mr.. E. G. Ross, the editor of a
Kansas paper, who was appointed to fill
the vacancy in the United States Senate
caused by the death of Senator Lane,
had a good thing, He hurried of to
Washington, got there on the Goth of
July, and was Immediately sworn in.
On the 2Sth Congress adjourned, and
he can start back again with a snug
sum for pay and mileage amounting
to nearly six thousand dollars. He
will probably be superseded by regu-
lar election when the Legislature
meets, but he hos got pay for three days
service at the rate of about two thou
sand dollars day!

INFAMOUS. The foot stone over the
grave of little Joe Davis, son of ex-
President Davis, was stolen from the
cemetery in Richmond few days ago.
The children of Richmond, the friends
and playmates of this interesting little
boy, had raised considerable sum Of
money to erect suitable monument to
his memory, and had but recently
placed it over his grave; and thus it
has been stolen. Can infamy be
greater?

SHOCKING AccIDENT.-On Friday
last, Mrs Henderson was riding on
a hand car near Tamola. Her clothes
got entangled with the machinery and
threw her out in front, so that the car
ran upon her. Her skull was fractur-
ed, and both legs and both arms bro
ken. There was not men enough
along to lift the car off of her. One
of the persons on the car had to go a
half mile to get assistance to extri-
cate her from under the ear, She died
in about two hours. We understand
that she was the wife of the brother of

The LolAL UNIoNIsTs OF THE SOUTH.
The New York News naturally in
quires whether the negroes are to be
represented in the Convention of
Southern loyalists called by Under
wood, Wardell, Bolts, etc The call
is addressed TO the Loyal Unionists
of the South" Those who make the
call profess to regard the negroes as
par excellence loyal Unionists of the
South. 1t is therefore fair to presume,
says the News, that the call is address
ed to the black as well as the white
'loyalists."
There is nothing in the call itself to
negative this presumption. If the ne
groes are to choose the delegates, we
suppose that there is nothing to pre-
vent them from choosing negroes, and
we suppose they will. What we wish
to know is, whether those who signed
the call expect the Southern negroes
to take part in the choice of delegates
to the Convention, and whether they
expect negro delegates to be chosen !?

After so long a suspension of the exercises

In discharging the duty assigned me, 1t is,

well avoid doing SO to some extent on the

better meet the demands of the hour than

to the great and vital changes that have re-
Gently occurred in our condition and clTcun-

The following letter Of General Grant
affords 9 curious commentary on the at
tempt to identify him with the Johnson
party because he accompanied the Presi-
dent on an electioneering tour. II is very
certain that Grants foresight showed him
the likelihood that the President would
convert his tout to partisan purposes, and
that he was. therefore. reluctant to pnrtici-
pate. But the request Of his Commander
in Chief was necessarily equivalent to an
order. Francis H. Smith. Superintendent
Of the Virginia Military Institute, wrote
TO General Grant on the 4th Of August
last, inviting him to attend the ~inaugura-
ton Of the statue Of Washington at that
place on the 10th Of September. The
General replied as follows:
HEADQUARTERS ARMIES OF THE U. s.,
WAsHINoroN. D. c.. Aug. 25. '66.
FRANCIS II. SMITH, Eso.-Dear Sir Il

Please express my regrets to the Bo,,d

HENRY WARD BggoHER.-This emil
nent divine and noted politician, says in .
late letter to Q friend:
I still think q mild cours between the
Presidents and that Of Congress would be
wiser than either. but with this my agree
ment with the President ends. I have
long regretted his Ignorance of Northern
ideas and sentiments, and have been as.
tonished and panied at his increased in
discretions. Tenaciously, the President
is the chief obstacle to the re-admission
Of the Southern States. It 10 enough
that he is known to favor . measure to
set the public mind against it this is to
be deplored, but it is largely owing to his
increasing impertinent conduct.
Mr.. Johnson has to take the wrong side
Of the atrocious massacre of New Orleans.
The perversion and mutilation Of Sheri-
dams dispatch need not be characterized.
I do not attribute this act to him, yet it
was Of such a criminal and disgraceful
nature, that not to clear himself Of it by
the exposure and rebuke Of the offending
party, amounted to compromising with
crime after the fact.
So long as possible I have been silent
upon Mr.. Johnson's faults, and now speak
so plainly only lest I seem to approve or
cloak them.
