E1 We call The particulars aud earnest
attention of our readers to the proceedings
Of the "Amite County Monument and
IEistoricai Association, pubiished elsewhere
in this issue Of our paper. This Association
has inaugnrated a movement which, whether
it prove successful or not, will always reflect
credit upon the orginators, and exhibit a
generous remembrance of our faleu- braves
at once commendable and prase-worthy
This Association must be encouraged In
their sad yet glorious undertaking. We are
all interested some by the loss of brothers,
Others sons, others husbands; and so on
until you can hardly find a home in Amte
that does not mourn the loss of some beloved
member who fell CALAMITY fighting for the
liberty of his native land. Shall we allow
the vail Of oblivion to be drawn over their
noble deeds, or their names become forever
silent to our earsl God forbid Let us
forever cherish the memory of these gallant
boys, many of whom slumber in nameless
graves far from their homes let us rear
monument to their memory and inscribeupon
il the names they have immorlalized and
let us furnish to the historian OF our State
all the information that we can, and thereby
give assistance in defending the names of
our dead husbands, brothers aud sons, from
the foul ISLANDERS of our foes
When we first mentioned this subject to
the people of Amite, We proposed way of
obtaining a part at least of the necessary
funds, and it was that the young ladies and
gentlemen of Amite, as many as felt them
selves competent, should meet in Liberty,
organize themselves into concert troupe,
and s;Ee n series ef-eoaessts, tae esaire
proceeds Of which were to be devoted to aid |
IN building a monument. Now that tue
Association is organized. and the ball has
been put fairly in motion, we again make
the same proposition. Let the troupe be
formed, some member Of the Association be
appointed dOor-keeper, and go to the different
precincts in the county, giving at each, az
may seem best, one or more concerts. We
feel confident that at least one thousand
dollars could be raised in this manner, which.
added to the sum that may be subscribed
will doubtless be sufficient to answer every
purpose. We cannot have too much money
The more we have the neater monument will
we be enabled to erect one that win reflect
credit upon our town and county. We have
spoken to several Of the ladies and gentle
men in town about this matter, and they
ardently sanction it. All that is necessary
Is for some one 70 take held who VII prop {
ariy attend to If. By all means organize
company. and at the next meeting Of the
Association request them 10 appoint a door I
keeper 50 thst We can 60 to work at once.

Military arrane eements of the greatest importance,

two great German Powers, have been adopted by
Austria. In q few days you may expect TO hear OF

The situation Is serious, and the tension between

Manteuel has deserted the section of the friends OF
Austria, and the mi itary circles around the King

AUSTRIA ANXIOUS TO SETTLE THE QUESTION WITH.
OUT WAR
V5enna March 2O) Telegram London Times.
II is stated mat, besides the despatch to the
German Great Powers, Austria has addressed a cir
cular note to the minor German States with refer
ence 70 the misunderstanding with Prussia on the
Schlesw1R olsteln question.
The Vienna Journals assert that Il is the intention
OF Austria to submit the question te the decision of
the German D'et
IL is rumored that General Manteuffel will shortly
arrive here with letter from the King of Prussia TO
the Emperor Francis Joseph.
UNFoUNDED RUMoRs- THE RELATIONS VERY
CRITICAL. A
From the London Post, March %.
We have reason to believe that the telepraphic
news, to the effect that Sunday declarations of
reassurlng character have been received from Ber-
lin by the Austrian Government and that the
apprehensiOns of war between the great German
powers have been thereby removed. are totally in.
correct. The relations between the two powers con.
tinue, on the contrar y to be very critical.

The Immediate Cause OF the Trouble
Austria Virtually OusIed from HOI-


AusIEIa Virtually Ousted from HOI-
stein.
From the Neio Free Press.
We ehaye long hesitated to believe that conflict
would occur between Austria and Prussia aIter the
Case Convention, Ii stll seems to US madness
on the part OF Herr Won Bismarck 10 think of set
ting the queslOn OF the Due les bg the sword.
Nevertheless we cannot but recoR that the stua
ton is b. coming very Serious IJ not the military
preparations going on in Prussia and in Austla, nor
the general agitation OF Ge many, that fills US with
this belief, but we see that Heir Won Bismarck is
succeeding more and more III gaming over King Will
liam TO his plans. fortnight ago the King OF Prussia
sun heiu alOoi rom me parues IN MS CaDlnet, anu
after having heard various opinions expressed IN
the Council Of February 49, reserved his own judg-
ment. II therefore, to be hoped that the Courts
would remain agreed Notwithstanding the difference
OF the CablneIs and that King William would con-
fine within fixed limits the Catilinian policy OF Herr
Won Bismarck This hope has been violently dts =
turbed snce the Klng signed the decree of the 18th
inst relative to punishable acts against the sovereign
power. II thai decree had emanated frcm General
Won Manteuhel, 1t would nave had less importance
General Won hanteufel is the agent of the ministry
and might have been disavowed but the Kings
decision Is irrevocable. This measure Is specia ly
serious since 1t claims to be Applicable to Hol-
stein, over which the flag of AustTia is flying
and over the administrator OF which commanders
can have authority, however the GasteIn conven-
ton may be interpreted. The ordinance of March
IL is wOrded though there were no Austrian gov
ernoT or general in holsteTn, and as though that
duchy were already Prussian province. 1t is not
the PrussIan ministry which says this, it is the King
himself Herr Won Bsmarck's policy is thus ratified
Minister has obtained victory that was deemed I'M
possible All the forces of Iussia henceortb at
the disposal of Count Won Bismarck 1t Is this
which invests the situation with much gravity.
In the present state of things 1t is scarcely
doubtful that IL the Cabinet OF Vienna rejects, as
1t must, the ordnance of March IL, the coup
de main against Holsteln, Planned by Prussia,
will be the immediate result. Doubt upon this
point is longer possible. The coup de main
against Holstein would be war--war in which not
only all Germany, but, in all probability, other
countries, would be involved. At the first cannon
shot the people OF Germany would enter the lists
and not 1or Herr Won Bismarck. lhis war would
not only be struggle for preponderance; 1T would
lead to the radical transformation of Germany, The
power which disposes OF thrones and nations may
perhaps have chosen a Prusslan country Squire to
light up this immense confederation destined to
purify Germany. But we sull hope that IN reflect
ing upon the caamitIes which must result from such
conflict, the Prussian Government will, the last
noment, alter its views.
