The Grown Prince of Prussia is a

The Grown Prince of Prussia is q
gentleman of grave humor, as well as a
good soldier. In his proclamation to
his soldiers, he said: "HaYe confidence
In the justice of your couse, and In your
arms of precision. That is as good
as what Cromwell said to his soldiers.

Col Marcy, in his new work, ear
my Life on the Border, tells an anus
ing anecdote of Mexican experience,
which is not without its force as an
illustration. He had with difficulty
mastered few Spanish phrases, and
one day when In search of supplies for
his mess, took the opportunity TO use
his knowledge of the language. He
says:
81 dId not gone far before I met an
old Mexican (as | supposedly, dressed in
full Spanish costume, with slashed
trowsers, gilt buttons and broad brim-
med sOmbrero, and followed by several
senoras and senoritas, leading buos
packed with vegetables. / Lated,
pointed TO good sized cabbage, and
said: 'Quantus pour este, Senior? (How
much for that, sr?) Towhich the man,
to my establishment, answered, 'Abeout

Upon inquiry, | learned that this
man was born and raised only about
twenty miles from my own native town,
and that he had emigrated to Texas
some thirty years before; was engaged
in Gen. Green's expedition at Mier,
captured and taken TO Mexico as a pris-
oner, and subsequently, confined in the
Castle OF Perote for long time, but
was finally released, and found his way
back to Matamoras, where he had lived
ever since, adopting the Mexican cos
tune and habits. F"

A letter from Hohenenauth, dated
July 9, contains the following portral-
ture of the King of Prussia IN the field:
Reused at midnight and informed of
the probable intention of Benedek to
attack the First Army at Sadowa. the
second being at Koniginhot, and, as
was supposed, too far distant to come
to its assistance. His Majesty was en-
gagged from that hour until D A. NJ. IN
sending off dispatches to the Grown
Prince and General Herwarth Won Bit
tenfield, and in holding council with
the chief of the general staff. AT the
king drove to Sadowa, mounted his
horse at s, and remained uninterrupt-
edly on horseback until $50 in the
evening, without ceasing to bestow the
most eager attention upon the progress
of the fight. At l o'clock, when a
slight pause took place, and before the
Crown Prince had reached the field,
the King asked his suit whether any of
them had anything to eat. A groom
furnished little wine, one OF the Off
GERS a bit of sausage, and soldier
some bread, with which His Majesty
seemed perfectly satisfied. Much about
this hour the King had narrow escape
of being captured by a squadron of
Austrian cuirassiers At the village of
Posnitz, on the left wing, was post
ed an infantry brigade, between the
first an second divisions of which His
Majesty had taken up his position.
Hard by an encounter took place be-
tween Austrian and Prussian cavalry,
passing into hand to-hand fight after
the charge, and out of the melee ulti-
mately dashed a troop of Austrian
cuirassiers bearing down IN the con
fusion directly upon the spot occupied
by his Majesty. One of the aide-de-
camps rushed to bring up the cavalry
OF the escort, but the Austrians, either
disordered by the grenades falling
among them from their own guns, or
finding that they had got into the midst
of the Prussian infantry, turned back,
swept round the left wing of the first
division, and disappeared. The King
had not moved from the place, and in
fact hardly thought the matter worthy
of glance, his whole attention being
upon the progress of the bat
tie At the beginning of the fight
below the hill the King had come under
the fire of the enemies grenades, at
tracted probably by his numerous suite;
but no one ventured to request him not
to expose himself so greatly; the suite,
however drew back Us far as possible,
in order to present less conspicuous
mark for the enemy's fire. Later, how.
ever, at Lassa, where His Majesty Ia
person ordered the advance of the
enemy in pursuit, and again came
under heavy fire, Count Bismarck was
compelled to urge upon the King the
necessity of not exposing himself in
to the well-aimed fire OF the
Austrian guns.

Tho Two Pictures.

In last weeks Home Journal was
published an account Of the sutIcrings
Of the people of Marshall county, Ala
II is established beyond doubt that
about three thousand persons in North
Alabama arc absolutely without food,
and scycra! have died from starvation.
Judge Wycth, Of Guntersville, has WIS.,
tied Nashville, and the patriotic mcr-
chants Of that city have given literally
OF all sorts Of provisions, several per
sons giving five hundred pounds of la
con each, and corn, potatoes, etc, in
proportion. All honor Is due the per
sons who make this noble response to
the calls Of suffering humanity, In
Huntsville, Ala, Notwithstanding the
dcsolation Of the country, the citizens
contributed literally, and We have
room to believe that the sufferers who
want grain to plant and stock to work,
and something to live upon until n
crop is made, will be supplied.
Now, this is an awful picture. What
pestilence as terrible as famine? And,
alas many Of us who complain be-
cause we have not the luXuries Of for
mcr times, and think our lot a hard
one, ought to be silenced by the recital
Of suffering in other localities. Just
think for u moment of starvation and
plenty % -existcnt in the same land.
See that worshipper of mammon, fret
ting over his books, sueing and pres
sing, and hording up his surplus gold,
while his neighbor who has been ruined
by circumstances beyond his control, is
starving for the want Of Il little Of the
rich mans surplus. Alas for the rar-
ity Of christian charity. How many
are going down to hell simply on ac-
count Of their inordinate love of gold.
But there is a second picture We
wanted to allude to: We have spoken
Of the restitution in the SOuth--thc de-
mand for support to stave off starva-
ton until labor yields n return. In the
face Of these facts, the Radicals are
urging that a conspiracy is on foot in
the South for another rebellion. Gen.
Thomas credulity was so much worked
upon as to induce him to testify before
the Committee on Reconstruction that
he believed, upon the representations
Of unknown correspondents, that such
a league existed in the South. Now,
the idea Of n starving population med
itating rebellion! No sir! All the
people of the South want is to be let
alone, in obedience to the terms Of
surrender, that they may repair the de-
vastation that has reduced them to their
present condition--devastatio brought
about by the Federal armies. You
may say it is a penalty Of treason, but
they believed it to be u cause which in,
volved the noblest principles, and it is
to their immortal credit that they suf-
fcred so much in defence of such q be-
lief. In their bitter extremity, they
arc slandcrcd by the assertion that a
league is on foot for rebellion. Wei
have here two picturesque of starva,
ton, the other of SANDER.

the day. When we last counted them
some seventy or more amendments had

less debate to condensc the whole o.
them in one, as follows: :,
