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 correspondent writes, the
Prussian headquarters were advanced
from Gitschin to Horzits, towns in
Bohemia, but at the latter place, owing
70 the absorbing interest universally
feltin 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
ali the houses were closed; there
was no bread, and all 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 a
pillow, slept that pleasant sleep which
the soldier who has won victory

Substantial Admiration.

We take the liberty of making the
following extract from the private let

that he proposes giving the author

The New York Herald, referring to
the Philadelphia Convention, sensibly
remarks that the call recognizes the
great issue between the President and
Congress, and invites all who support
the President and his policy of reunion
to take part in the Convention. 1t

Vallandingham,or Belmontor Marble,
or any other obnoxious individual 1t

on which all may stand without crowd
ing each other off. The WI is over

ton is as to his position in regard to

The LolAL UNIoNIsrs 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 !?
