The passenger in a given train on the
Southern Michigan Railroad had been an
noyed for hours by the disloyal remarks of
a somewhat imposing but impudent and
profane politician or Southern ~demagogue.
Waxing more and mere earnest in his
zeal, he finally raised his voice to a higher
pitch, and, with an oath, declared that he
would never have his blood mixed with
that of the black baboonsI At this in

with lightning rapidity and commanding
tone, remarked: do not be alarmed sir;

The engagements contracted by Italy

non Of separate armistice with King
Victor Emmanuel, French mediation
had in view to smooth away difficulties
by the offer Of q mediation common
both to Italy and Prussia. At the be-
ginning of the present week the negotia-
tons seemed likely to take rather IA
vorable turn, 90 that Prince Napoleon

Italian headquarters TO get the preliml-

question would not be accepted either by
Prussia or Italy, both those powers being

hostilities unless the preliminsries Of

were admitted. We do not pretend 10

insists more than ever on the exclusion
of Austria from the Germanic Corfede-

than sufficient 10 induce Austria TO con-

premacy in the city for few days until
the affair is fully investigated. / believe
the sentiment of the general community
is one Of great regret at this unnecessary
cruelty, and hat the police could have
made any arrest they saw fit without sac

as follows: Prussia lays down the bases
of peace, one of which is the exclusion of
Austria from the German Confederacy ;
and upon the acceptance of these bases
by Austria, Prussia and Italy will agree
to an armistice of FIVE days for negotia-
| tons.
France proposes to support this offer,
provided Prussia will reserve the total
exclusion of Austria, and make that a
European question TO be settled by a
Congress.
Prussia assents to this modification /;
whereupon the French Minister proceeds
to Vienna and Prince Napoleon to Italy
to submit the terms agreed upon by
France and Prussia.
The impression appears to be that
Austria will accept the basis of peace to
gain FIVE days, even il she intends to
disagree later. There is evidently great
confusion at Vienna, and they are so
holly pressed that they cannot get time
to deliberate calmly.

of the English press to German unity

The report from the corn crop in iazoo
county is most discouraging. From a
gentleman who resides in the southeast
ern portion of the county, we learn, says
the Yazoo Commercial, that he planted
one hundred and eighty acres of splendid
land in corn, and he calculated on gath
ering six hundred bushels off the entire
tract. From another tract of forty acres,
a gentleman expects to gather twenty
bushels. To say the least Of it, this is

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.


On Friday last, says the Meridian
Messenger, Mrs. HESDERsoS was riding
on 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 fractured,
and both legs and both arms broken.
There was not men enough along to lift
the car off of her. One of the persons on
the car had to go half mile TO get as
sistance to extricate her from under the
car. She died in about two hours. We
understand that she was the wife of the
brother of Mr. GRANVILLE HENDERSON,
the station agent at Marion.
