Memorial Day.
Wednesday next, 27th instant, is the day de-
termined upon by the Ladies for the services in
respect to the Confederate Dead buried in the Gem
etery and other Grave-Y Yards of our town.
By public meetings, at which Mrs. Judge DouG-
LAS presided and Miss IRENE LEEcu was chosen
Secretary, Committees were appointed for perfect
ing and executing the objects of the meeting, and
we have no doubt fitting tribute will be paid the
remains of these brave men.
We decline TO publish the Floral Committee only
because of its great number, and believing we can
subserve the purpose by simply stating that the
Committee was designed to include the ladies ofour
County and the surrounding country-all of whom
are invited TO interest themselves in procuring
Eyergreens and Flowers for the Offering"
We suppose business will be suspended during a
part of the day, and nothing should be omitted that
will render the day appropriately impressive.
An outpouring of the people is expected on next

By the arrival at New York, on the 10th, of
the steamships Hsnsa, Palmyra, and City OF
Paris we have advices from Europe 10 the 9th
inst. The proposed Conference at Paris has
been abandoned, owing to the refusal of Aus
tria to bind herself to abide by the action OF
the Conference except upon certain conditions.
There is now no longer any but the faintest
possible hope that peace will be maintained.
LATER.-By the arrival, off Farther Point,
of the steamship Peruvian, we have one days
later advces from Europe. The first step in
active hostilities has been taken. On the 18th
the Prussian troops entered the Duchy OF Hol-
stein, and the Austrians were concentrating at
Altoona, where collision was expected.

the public lands not now in market.
A mere statement Of the extensive privileges
proposed to be granted to this company should
condemn the measure in the judgment Of every
fair mind in the country, but the President has
dissected the scheme in mastery manner
He declares truly that =" the public domain is a
national trust, set apart and held for the gene
raj welfare, upon principles Of equal justice,
and not To be bestowed as special privilege

money Let those who have failed to contribute do
something quickly; and those who have already
needed the call may feel able to add to their sub

matter. The brave men, whose bones are scattered
