state conventions furnish conclusive evil
dence OF the Southern people to resume
their position in the Union; and it must
strike all observers with surprise that while
those who etrove 80 desperately to leave
the Union are now so earnestly endeavor-
ing to resume their places in it, it is the
very MEN who sent fire and sword to des.
troy them, or compel them 10 return, who
now bar the door and deny them re.admis-

throughout the war proclaimed to be their

me no key to the mysterious origin Of thla
change in Northern opinion, which find
evidenced in every newspaper that reaches

tinged with its gloom the vista of the fu-

MIR. DAVIS ON BUCHANAN AND oruERs.
Mr.. Davis remarked that Mr.. Buchanan
more fulfilled the European ideal Of chief
OF State in his sociAl relations than any
American since Washington. He was
digni6ed, polished, reticen., and suave:
fond Of lady gossip and the atmosphere Of
intrigue; stickler for the ceremony of
power. His misfortune was, as regarded
his reputation North, that he could not for.
get in month, and at the dictation of a
party only representing tho majority Of one
section. all those principles which had been
imbibed in his youth and formed the pui.
dingstars Of his career through over fifty
years OF public service. CT Mr.. Cushing,
of Massachusetts, Mr.. Davis spoke in
terms OF praise, eulogizing his general tal-
ents, and more especially his soundpess as
an exponent OF constitutional Law. He al
so referred to Mr.. George NJ. Dallas As .his
model for the externals Of diplomatic
representative, quoting something he had
once known Mr.. Cobden, Of England, to
say or write; in substance, that Dallas re-
minded him Of some stately courtier.por-

down from the wall to again pace with

THB CRISIS IN EuRopE.-War between
Austria and Prussia has virtually begun,
although formal declaration Of war has
not yet been made. The Prus.iaus having
entered the Duchy Of Holstsin, invited the
Austrian commanding general to re-estab-
lish joint Government for both Duchies.
When this was declined by Austria, tho
Prussians rapidly advanced, in order to oc.
cupy the whole Duchy. The Austrian
General, being instructed not to Ere the
first shot under any circumstances, with
drew ths whole of his command into Han.
over. On the 12th Of June, the Prussiaus
were in peaceful possession Of the whole
Ducby. On the 18th, they had forcibly
dispersed the Holstein Estates, which, in
accordance with the invitation of the Aus
trlan General, had assembled at Itzehoe.
Prussia at once established common
Government for Sohleswig and Holstein, at
the head of which is leading member Of
the nobility of the Duchies, and promised
to convoke, without delay, their common
estates. ~
Austria still shrinks from declaring war.
and has madea new effort to prevail upop
the Federal Diet to assume tho responai--
biIity for 80 momentous an act. She made
formal motion for the mobilization Of tho
whole Federal army, with visw to cosrc:
ing Prussia into compliance with the de-
creas OF the Diet. To reply to this motion.
Prussia, in note to The Governments of
the German States, declared that she would
request the adoption of the motion of
Austria as the dissolution CT the German
Confederation. The Austrian motion VA.

THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THE
ASKING. Congress has adopted On amend
ment to the appropriation bill, which pro.
vides that the Secretary OF War shall
"pay out Of the commAtation draft fund,
for every slave belonging to loyal men,
enlisted in the army, an amount not to
exceed three hundred dollars each" This
is a very expensive, and, we think, a rather
inconsistent movement on the part Of Con-
gress. Under the operation Of the pro-
posed measure at least half the Shareholders
whose "chattles" enlisted in the army,
would be able to recover the said three
hundred dollars for every enlistment. 1t
is stipulated that only 'loyal" men shall
be thus paid, but where shall the distinc-
ton be drawn between the loyal and the
disloyal, and who shall give the decision
We venture to say that almost any slave
holder, who was not remarkably conspic-
uous in the rebellion, could adduce plenty
of testimony in proof of his constant and
unwavering loyalty. This very argument
was adduced in Congress in opposition to
the Reimbursement of loyal Southern men
for losses sustained during the war, and it
was that point, probably, which led to the
rejection Of all such claims. Why pay for
the loss in negroes and not for the loss in
other chattles? The negro soldiers re-
ceived full pay and were provided for in
the army; and we can, therefore, see no
reason why their masters should be paid
three hundred dollars apiece for them, I'M
less Congress is disposed to pay the
'loyar" Southerners in full for all their
war losses. If slavery is wrong, and if
the "loyal" Southerners had no right to
hold men in bondage, as the Republican
party have always claimed, why should
Congress thus purchase the slave-soldiers
at the rate Of three hundred dollars a head?

rHE BOUNTY BILL.

As i, finally passed Congress and be-
came a law, the new bounty bill provides
,ha, all soldiers who enlisted for three
wears, and were honorably discharged at
the end Of the term. or during the TERM
for disability, and who were entitled 10
receive a Government bounty OF SAoV'
shall receive an additional 800 bounty
II any such three years soldier died IN ser
vice. or from wounds or disease contracted
whilst in service. his widow minor chill
dren, or parents, in the order named are
s,,;,,eS 10 receive the additional bounty.
An soIdiers who enlisted for two years,
and were honorably discharged after serv-
ing two years, and who were entitled to
receive a bounty Of $50, and no more, and
all who enlisted for less than two years.
and were discharged on account OF wounds
or disability contracted in the line OF duty
in the service, shall receive an additional
bounty of $50. If the soldier died from
wounds or disease, then his heirs, as above
stated, are entitled to the bounty.
1t is also provided that if soldiers have
forfeited, sold, assigned, transferred
loaned, exchanged, or given away their
discharge papers, or their control over the
bounty. provided by this or any other act
of Congress, they shall not be entitled to
any additional bounty. The additional
bounties are to be paid under rules and
regulations to be prescribed BY the Pay
master General and the Secretaries of Wa
and the Treasury. 1t is announced from
Washington that there will be some delay
before any of the bounties are paid. We
give the above abstract Of the bill as we
6nd it, but the copy appears either to
have an omission or to be defective in one
post. 1t provides nc additional bounty
for that class Of soldiers who enlisted for
not less than W. years, but who, during
their term, were discharged on account OF
disability contracted whilst in service, and
this omission may be supplied in the law
as officially published.

Moody,s Proverbs.

The DILIoENT WoMAN.-She riseth in
the morning betimes, and as the lark sing
eth to his mate, so she maketn u joyful
noise in all her house.
She shakcth up her bed and beateth the
pillows thereof, and like as an eagle stir
reth up her nest, so she stirreth up the
feathers, and spreadeth out the sheets, and
layeth the blankets apart.
Her husband looketh upon her and re-
joiceth; she is like a young roe of the
mountains; her breasts are full Of milk,
and she giveth suck to her W children
in the time of want.
She layeth her hands to the wash-tub,
and rubbeth upon the board, making clean
the fine linen !; her hands take fast hold Of
the wringer, and by turning the crank
water is pressed out. ....
She clotheth her family with pure gar
ments, when she has made them smooth
with a hot iron, and by reason thereof her
husband is made comely when he stitch
among the chief men, or walketh in the
market places.
She kneadeth up dough, and baketh a
goodly cake for her household, and to
every one she giveth q piece Of bread, and
butter Of kline.
She provideth her dinner in due season,
and her supper faileth not, when the good
man returneth at the end Of the day,
weary with his labors, and the strife Of
men. ..
She looketh well to the ways Of her
household, and scorneth the idle woman,
with delicate hands, who lieth in bed, and
calleth a servant.
She keepeth safely the heart of her hus-
band, and suffereth' not his feet to wander
in forbidden paths, by reason Of her dis
cretion. Yea, he loveth her. and like
cooling doves, they walk together the way
of life.
Like the busy bee, she continueth dill
gent all the day long, and by reason Of
hard work, her bones do ache, yet she
complainant not, because she doeth it will
lingly.
She is modest in her apparel, and bring
eth no shame to her husband by reason of
unpaid bills for costly feathers, or man
tau stufing, or frizly waterfalls Of dogs
halr.-
She obeys the voice Of nature in the
circumference of her waist. and makes but
a moderate spread about her neither limbs.
She is good hammered in the cars-a rare
accomplishment! She tucketh up her
dress betimes, giving the street to mems
feet, without molestation.
She is a keeper at home, not gadding
about, revealing secrets she ought not, but
ready always to labor in kindness, and
charity, and good works.

PAY oR VOLUNTEER ORFIcgRs.-Erro-
neous statements have been published as
to the construction and application Of the
Law Of July 18th, 1866, emitting certain
commissioned officers to three months pay
proper. The Act of July Is, 1866, to eS-
tend the benefits Of section four Of the
Army Appropriation bill, approved March
3, 1865, only gives the three months pay
proper to such as have been honorably
discharged by acceptance of resignation or
by muster out at their request or other
wise mustered out after April 9, 1865,
apd who were in service the Sd of March,
1866. This simply places these classes Of
discharged officers on the same footing as
those who, on being discharged under
General Order No. 70, 1866, ION account
Of their services being no longer required
by the Government" have already re-
ceived the three months pay proper. -

"a TAM BAT BRIDGE."-The editor Of
q Cincinnati paper had occasion to pay a
visit to Dayton in the cars. He says he
noticed a gentleman and lady in close jux-
opposition, and judging from their con-
duct, one would well imagine that they
were exceedingly intimate. In front Of
the comfortable pair sat two gentlemen,
editors of WI German papers of this city.
When near Dayton the train passed thro'
q long, dark brige. Among the thunder
ing and rafting Of the cars, a very sus-
picious conclusion was heard by those
nearest the lady and gentleman alluded
to-. As we emerged into daylight, one of
the German editors slowly drew his spec
tacles down over his nose, aed exclaimed:
"Yell, I tink dat ish a tam bat bridge /; l
heard him crack one, two, three, ,oder
times !" The lady drew down her veil,
and for the remainder Of the trip the pair
looked mute and quiet.

Mileage ". SALARY.

GOLD HILL, Aug. 70, 1866.
Ed. NEws:-I see in your paper a
commencing notice Of Mr.. Representa-
tive Ashley, on account Of his vote on the
Congressional salary and mileage bill. 1
beg leave to draw your attention to the
fact that the bill by its reduction Of mile
age more than counterbalanoes the increase
OF salary to Representatives and Senators
from this coast. In other words the Pa
cifc coast Senators and Representatives
will loose q large amount, in their agere-
gate Of pay, by the passage Of this bill.
1 see by the correspondent of the San
Francisco Bulletin that Senator Nye voted
against the measure; but Senator Stew
arts name is not recorded. SQUARE.
