PLANTATION HANDS W TED.-The large
number Of unemployed darkies in our city
had better ook out in season for situations,
where their time may be probably occu-
pied for themselves and their families, and
where they can have much more comforta-
BILE homes than while lettering around in
idleness or doing piddling jobs in city.
There is large demand for hands on
plantations, and this being the case, there
is no excuse for freedmen and their fami-
lies who are able to work, to be suffering
for want 81 employment to gain an honest
livelihood. We would advise al such to
call at LEWIS THOMAS Grocery Store, cor
ror Of Africa and Royal streets. He ad
vertises to find employment for them with
parties who will do justice by them.

SPIRES OF GERMANY-ln the Mid
die Ages, no people seem to have SO
far mastered the art Of construction
as the Germans although their
French neighbors far excelled them
il design and graceful detail, vet TO
the Germans must be allowed the
palm Of engineering skill The bridge
over the Mojdan at Prague is perhaps
one Of the greatest engineering under
takings Of the Middle ages. 1t is
1900 feet long, and has resisted the
shock Of icebergs, with which the riv-
er is often choked, for five hundred
winters. The old bridges Of Wurz-
burg and Frankfort are scarcely less
remarkable. The principal objects,
however, on which the Germans seem
TO have delighted to bestow their skill,
are the towers and spires Of churches,
and town halls. Vienna, Strasburg,
Ulm, Landshut, Frerburg and rahn.
are perhaps the most important.
There are, however, many less known
spires toat are quite as beautiful, and
exhibit quite as great constructive
knowledge.
The towns Of Prague and War;
burg. viewed from a distance, give
one the idea Of a forest Of spires ; and
at Warzburg, in particular, they are
grouped together in such ,emarka-
bly, picturesque manner, that one
can scarcely believe that the whole
town was not originally planned and
built only to be painted. Lubbock,
Nurenburg, Augsburg, Landsbnt, and
EIfurtb, abound in spires; and as
some Of these towns are situated in
very hiHg country, they quite destroy
the old theory that spires were only
built in fiat places ~ London Builder

THE TROUBLE IN EURoPE.-The ostensible
cause of the present difficulty is the DECLARE
ton of Prussia to annex the Danish-German
duchies, now held by the joint arms Of Austria
and herself, to her dominions. 1t will be re-
membered that after brief war, In which the
success was all on one side (and let the mex
cusable conduct of England in relation to it
never be forgotten) the Two great German
powers succeeded in occupying these disputed
provinces. Since the restoration of quiet gar
risons composed of both parties have occupied
the subjugated territory. There has been
a seeming difficulty insknowing how to dispose
of them. There have been disputes, prevari-
cations, proposals, threats, long arguments
between the powers, and there is no longer a
doubt that the courts Of Vienna and Berlin
have long been in state of hardly concealed
animosity: Finally Prussia has thrown Oft the
mask. The duchies are nearly contiguous to
her territory. She declares her intention to
appropriate them exclusively to herself Aus
tria has anticipated this result. Both powers
have been bracing themselves up, undoubtedly,
to meet this beHicose question-Shall Prussia
have the Duchies? Austria is very emphatic
in her negative. Then comes the equally i'm.
portant query-will Count Bismarck back
down So simple an issue as that which at
the moment of writing appears, has not existed
between any two European powers for long
while. Does it not seem likely that one of the
parties must, in the face of the world, retire
from its present position, or tghtI

The VALLEY RAILRoAD.-Messrs Harman,
Christian and Allan, as a committee Of the
Board of the Valley Railroad, attended the
meeting of the Manassas Railroad Company
on the llth inst, and on a conference 1t was
agreed that the Manassas Company would
transfer to the Valley Company the franchise
and property of the Railroad from Harrison
burg to Winchester, provided, the Y alley Com.
pany would raise funds to put Manassas in
working order from Strasburg to Manassas
Junction, and relieve that Company Of its
mortgage debt.
But nothing whatever can be done until this
debt is cancelled For any work done upon
it would simply enure to the creditors Of the
road, and to the loss of the Company under
taking the work Whereas, if the bondhoId-
ers will now cancel their bonds for their fair
market value, the railroad will be built through

sell, then nothing can be done; their bonds Will
be worthless, and the railroad be lost to the
country.
We learn that the cash market value will
be paid at the First National Bank of Staun.
