We learn this afternoon that General
Menabrea was to leave Florence last
night for Paris, whence he would proceed
to Germany. A letter of the 9th from
Civita Vecchia mentions the arrival Of a
steam corvette, which had begun to en-
bark materials and munitions Of war.
Similar stores, it adds, are being shipped
on board steamers belonging to the Impe-
riale M~essageries. These were consider
ed symptoms of an approaching evacua-
ton. The Spanish war steamer Lepanto
had also arrived, with it was reported a
most important message from Queen ISa-
bella to the Pope. 1t was rumoured that
the Lepanto would convey to Spain the
ex-King of Naples with his baggage and

The President of the United, States

Lower House desires, to briug to the

posed wrongs at present too much in the
minds of a class in the States, But,
whether the propositions which have
been submitted by General Banks, who
drew up the report on the subject, be
accepted or rejected, it would be absurd
to pretend to believe that they are simply
and solely the results Of party effort to
obtain popularity. We have no doubt
that they commend themselves to many
thousands Of cur American brethren for
reasons to which it may he neither impo-
little nor Improbable to advert in a spirit
of fl iendliness.
CHANGING down The columns Of many
American newspapers, we find incesSaut

lish, are told that, though there is no
particular hurry TO p|reCipilatc the quar-
rel into which the two nations will in
faIlibly be led, either by the maIevoIence
Of The British arlstocracy or the imperti-
nence of the British colonists, the Time
has come for a sort Of grateful manifes-
tation Of the sense entertained by the
American people Of the conduct of
Great Britain during the war. We are
then reminded of the alleged pleasure
which a portion of this nation, especially
the upper classes, took in the severance
of the Republic. We are spitefuIIy ask
ed to recollect how mercilessly the Fede-
raj disasters were dWelt upon, how the
Confederates were stimulated by praises
Of their gallantry, and how the names of
their leaders became household words in
this country. The American journalists
do not forget 10 quote language that was
used in Parliament, and the words of
Lord Russell about the desire of the
North for empire, and those of Mr.. Glad
stone in compliment to the Southern
President who had made a nation, are
remembered and repeated when it has
become highly convenient on the part of
journals at home, that have undertaken

This commodious and popular Hotel, (Which
has been closed for several years) long known as
the leadiny Hotel of town, has been
REMoDELED, PAINTED AND PAPERED,
in the best style, and furnished with
NEW AND ELEGANT FURNITURE,
and possesses now every modern Improvement for
the comfort of guests 1t is now re-opeaaed and
kept in style not surpassed by any Hotel in the
State!
1t is pleasantly located in the most business
portion of the town,
100 Yards from the Railroad Depotl
not so near as to cause the guests to be annoyed
by the running of trains, and the noise and bus
tie at the Depot.
To such as may feel disposed to patronze those
who served with gallantry and fidelity in the
Confederate army they would say that one of
their firm-Col Chas S. Peytou-raisedavo lun-
teer company at the beginning of the war, and
had the misfortune to lose an arm in the second
battle of Manassas, and that, notwithstanding he
was thus crippled, he remained in the service in
the field and was again wounded in the terrible
battle of Gettysburg. He remained in the mill
tary service till the war was over.
The Proprietors, however, do not rest their
claims to patronage upon military services and
sacrifices, but upon the
CHARACTER OF IHEIR HOTEL.
Those who wish the very best fare and accom-
modations, whether
FROM THE NORTH OR SOUTH,
can be suited to ''Tn' at the Virginia Hotel.
The Post Office, Adams Express Office and
a Fine Billiard Saloon are in this build
ing; good Livery Stable is also
connected with the Hotel. Stages
on the various lines will take
passengers to this Hotel,
and call for them
when they wish
to leave.
Omnibusses to and from the Depot Free
Having long experience as Hotel Keepers, the
Proprietors trust, with
MODERATE CHARGES AND LIBERAL POLICY,
to maintain the favorable reputation Of the
Old Virginia Hotel.

Baughs Raw Bone Phosphate, has sold, in very
short time, about sixty-fve tons of it.
This article was introduced into this communi-
ty through an ad vertscmentin the "Vindicator,"
some time since, which payed the General Agent
so well as to induce him to continue his advertise
ment with us. Although this is the case, and
that the sale of the Phosphate has been chiefly to
subscribers to the "Vindcator ~ our ncighbor Of
the Spectator is disposed to claim all the credit
to himself for one advertisement inserted in his

our neighbor did not know that the indicator
