Prussian Losses During the Late
q = war.


A Prussian paper gives the number of
killed and wounded Prussians in the late
war as 164 officers and 2,572 men killed
il action; 143 officers and 1854 men who
have since died of their wounds; and 562
officers and Ia, $50 men who have been
wounded but not mortality The Austrian
wounded who fell into the hands of the
Prussians numbered All officers and 49,
935 men. The number Of Austrians
killed and wounded, who remained in
side the Austrian lines, is, of course, not
here known, but must have been very
large. At Vienna, the reports Of losses
up to the 1st of August detail loss Of
z,465 officers of infantry and cavalry
alone, of whom 135 were staff officers -
The number of Prpssians who were ta-
ken prisoners, or reported missing, was 4
officers and 1868 men, that of Austrian
unwounded prisoners,582 officers and 35,
932 men. So by this estimate the total
nunber of Austrian prisoners, wounded
and unwounded, would be 50,806. The
number of guns taken by the Prussians
during the war is stated as 486; that Of
colors and standards as 81, The Prus.
SLAMS lost no guns, colors or standards.

persons were rendered houseless and pen

boring portion Of the colony is in the
most destitute condition. The Govern

away.
Six foreign and IL Island crafts were
lost, with 20 of the crew. At Salt Bay
the ruin is equally severe. sE
Five vessels are ashore at Coekburn

Scarcely enough houses remain TO shel

The Boston Journals correspondent
says of A. I. Stewart: z.
He seldemlooks at a subscription pa
per. With him begging is at distance.
Hehas little sympathy with vagrancy,-
Men and women who seek his presence
seldom gain much by an interview if
money is the object. Indeed it is very
difficult to gain access to hi any way
He's intensely devoted to his business,
and works more hours probably than any
merchant in New York He controls his
own affairs with despotic sway. His part
hers have no control over the business,
but are interested merely in the profits.
He buys and sells as he .pleases without
consulting any one. But, on great occa-
sions, the donations of Mr.. Stewart are
princely. BE proposes. now to devote
millions to build houses for the poor. If
the city refuses to give the site he will
still carry out his plan.
The same writer says of MIR. Astor:
Unlike Mr.. Stewart, Wm. B. Astor is
always accessible. His rooms are on
Prince street, door or two from Broad
wag. They are the same that were occu-
pied by his father. He has front and
back Office, where the business of his
great estate is carried on. The door is
wide open between the two offices. A
pefson asking for Mr.. Astor. is directed at
once TO the rear ROOM Alta common
sdesk, crowded with papers,sits German
looking man, about seventy, heavy moul-
dcd, tall and stout. His eyas, which are
small, with an expression bordering on
stupidity, are fastened on the visitor, and
Mr.. Astor waits his utterances. He
wastes no words. His answers are yes OF
no, with an air that admits Of no debate.
All the day long, from ten to Eve, Mr.
Astor sits in his Office and sees all com
ers. He is master of his business. He
knows the rent of every house, the dura-
tion of every lease, the times and terms
of payment, with every foot Of land. At
five o'clock he rises, aud with slow and
sluggish gait turns into Broadway and
walks to Lafayette Place, where he re-
sides, for dinner. ate
Hc has two sons, John Jacob and Will
liam B.. jrs These young men are in bu-
siness with their father. No bankers in
New York attend more closely to their
calling. They are modest; sretiring, and
without affectation. John Jacob is tall
large, heavily built, with sandy hair and
complexion, resembling his father. He
went to the field in 1861, and did good
service for the national cause. William

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 26.-The follow
ing Important letter appears this evening,
H'DoR's DEP'TM'T OF THE GULF, !
New ORLEANS, La, Oct. %, 1866. I
GENERAL: lam satisfied that there is
Eonly one way ip which the State of af-
fairs on the Rio Grande can be bettered,
and that is by giving the heartiest sup
port to the only, Government in Mexico
recognized by our own-the only one
which is really friendly to the United
States. You will therefore warn all ad-
venturers Of any party or pretended Gov
ernment in Mexico, or in the State of
Tamaulipas, that they will not be per-
mitted to violate the neutrality laws be-
tween the Liberal Government sof Mexi-
co and the United States; and that they
will not be permitted to remain in our
Territory and receive the protection OF
our flag in order to complete their mac
chinations for the violation of our, neu-
trality laws. These instructions will be
enforced against the adherents Of the I'm.
perial Buccaneer representing the So
callad Imperial Government of Mexico
and also against the Ortega, Santa Anna
and other factions. President Juarez is
the acknowledged head of the Liberal
Government of Mexico.

Juarez GOVernment-United States
Aid SOugElt--2O;O0O Mem Going
to Mexico.


New York, Oct. 29.-The Times of
this morning says it cannot be doubted
that the Government Of Juarez has al
ready sought the aid of.the United States
in its efforts to re. e.establish its authority
over the contending factions that will
arise upon the ruins Of the Empite. I'm
less the reports already received at Wash
ington are at fault, the President has in
dicated his own willingness to enter upon
such an arrangement, and is disposed to
send to the city of Mexico,i if such step
should be deemed advisable, a force of at
least 10000 men, under Gen. Grant or
some other officer of high rank and repu-
tation, clothed with power to aid the Gov
ernment of our sister Republic in the
restoration of order and security.
As a matter of course, the Government
Of Mexico will be expected to incur all
the expenses of such an enterprise. She
has abundant resources for this, as well
as to secure US for whatever guarantees
it might be wise for us to give. for the
payment Of debts justly due to England
and France, which were made the pre-.
text for the recent invasion of her soil
and independent even if we were to as,
sumo the direct payment Of the@ debts
not, of course, including those of the
Empire, which we have never acknowl.
edged, and for which France can have nc
valid claim, the per cent. of customs tt
be collected at Mexican ports, already
pledged to foreign powers, and which
would be transferred to US, would be am,
pie for this object.

= The decision Of Attorney Genera

pa The decision of Attorney General
Stanberry, declaring the contract made
by James Harlan, Secretary of the 1nte-
rior, to sell 100000 acres of public lands,
illegal and void, was based on the fol
lowing grounds: First, the power to sell
provides for sale for cash. Thisis dis
regarded by the contract, which sells on
long credit. Secondly, the sale is not at
the rateper acre required by law. Third
", for objections in the matter Of the
consideration or pricetob be paia forthese
lands; and fourthly, because thereis no
reservation in the contract Of so much oi
these lands as we're occupied by actual
settlers. These are simply the legal OBJ
jections. It is believed, beside, that Har-
Ian was personally and corruptly interes-
ted in the sale, which was alfraud from
beginning to end, as no such corporation
as the Connecticut Emigrant Society, the
alleged purchaser, exists. The Rev
Secretary Harlan is the last of sthe shin
