LATEST FROM EUROPE.

Tie Atlantic telegraph furnishes us with
ad7iccs from Europe as late as yesterday
The Paris Constitutional asserts that France
has a right to territorial compensation from
Prussia. There are said to be Indications on
the part Of France Of preparations for war
The result Of the war in Germany has occa-
stoned deep feeling of discomfort among the
French people 1t is said that the Emperor
Napoleon believed that Austria would be the
victor, and that he would thus obtain the
man. The treaties Of Prussia with the Ger
man States, with which she is on terms of
friendship, were being signed and would be
pushed to completion in the course Of few
days
\ later despatch brings the advices from
Europe by the cable down to noon yesterday.
1t was reported yesterday at Paris; on good
authority, that the French Government had
abandoned the idea of extending the frontier
of France to the borders Of the Rhine. From
England we lea m that the plans for the con-
federation of the British Provinces of North
America have been definitely arranged.
The advices from Europe by the steamship
Cuba are to the 5th instant. There has re-
Gently been discovered and seized, at Limerick,
Ireland, 4 large quantity Of Fenian ammun-

serenity of the office of the commanding officer
Of this post was agitatcd, on yesterday, by the
appariion Of four Confederate soldiers, who
gave their names and ''descriptive lists as fol-
lows:
Anthony Monkas, Co. E, sd Georgia In
fantry, 3rd Army Corps, A. n. Y.
Thomas Wells, ditto.
James Brinberter, ditto.
Allan Tewksbcrry, Add louisiana ditto.
a more ragged set Of morais had never APP
pcarcd before the Colonel during all the deal
ngs he has ever had with the ragged rebels
of Lee S army. Tewksbcrry was sort Of walk
ing illustration of original patchwork. His
clothing had been tied and sewed and stuck to-
gether with string and thread and thorns until
there did not appear solitary square inch
upon it which had not been tied up sewed up,
or stuck up in some way Or other. His COM
panions were not quite as badly off, one having
a pair Of blue, Yankee pantaloons, with only
half dozen rents in it; another hiding the
raggedness Of his grey pants with flowing,
though ribbonry, Yankee overcoat, and the
other making his decency apparent by con
cealing the defects Of his upper garments with
an old oil cloth fly, awfulIy bedaubec with
mud.
Tewksberry stated to the Colonel that he
and his party stopped on the Appomattox,
about seven miles above the city, after the
evacuation Of Petersburg for the purpose, at
first, of resting that they staid longer than
they expected, and were cut Oft. They then
made VOW to live on that spot, and never go
home or give up until the Confederacy was
completely annihilated. They sought out a
cave on the banks of the river, which at that
point is very rocky land after some little indus
try succeeded in erecting for themselves a most
comfortable little home. Here they lived upon
fish and game and occasional roasting ears
during all last summer, and upon bread made
OF corn they had gathered from the corn-felds,
and an occasional pig they found without a
mother, in their rambles during the winter
This spring and summer they lived as they did
last summer, but recently, hearing from an old
negro man that the Confederacy has undoubt
edly "gone up they concluded to quit the
barbarian life and surrender. They marched
to the city yesterday morning, with their mus
kets and accoutrements stacked arms in front
of headquarters, sent in word that they were
the remnant of the Army Of Northern Virgin
ia, and that they wished to surrender upon
the conditions accorded to the main body
COL Milton cordially assented to their request,
gave them transportation to their homes, and
babe them adieu.
The illustrious four roamed about town for a
short time, had new suits of clothing given
them and after being made about half drunk,
embarked on the Southern train for their
homes Petersburg Index.

HORSE PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION. The
farmers and others in various sections of Mary
land h ave, within a year or two, suffered
severely from horse thieves. Prince Georges,
Charles, St. Mays Calvert, Anne Arundel,
Montgomery, Howard, and Baltimore counties
have been more particularly subject TO raids
from such thieves Some time since the citi-
zens of Baltimore county took measures to pro-
tect their property, and now we see that a
similar movement has been made in Prince
Georges county. The citizens Of that county
residing in the vicinity of Muirkirk FurDance
held meeting on Saturday last, and formed
an association Tor the protection of the horses
and mules of those who became members. 1t
is styled the "Muirkirk Protective Associa-
ton, " and it is proposed to pay $50 for every
horse which may be stolen, and 500 for the
arrest and conviction of every thief. The Off
GERS of the association are J. D. Mcpherson,
president; Charles c. Coffin, treasurer, and
Harry G. Jones, captain. Bait. Sun.

HEALTH OF Mr.. DAyIs.-Mrs. Jefferson
Davis writes to friend in Charleston, S. c.:
''Mr. Davis is slowly but surely wasting
away, and [ lock forward to his Makers re-
lease if man does not soon afford him one 1t
is very kind of you to ask what he wants but
beyond cigars and little Madeira or sherry
wine, he seems to desire nothing"
Major Gen. Miles, in command at Fortress
Monroe, reports that there is no material
change in the health of Mr. Davis. He now
has liberty to walk at will within the limits of
the fort, but exhibits less inclination to do so
than when his liberty was more restricted
Gen. Spinner, u. s. Treasurer, has decided
that the only protection to the owner against
the payment of bond or 40 note that may
have been stolen, is by entering caveat at the
Office Of the Secretary of the Treasury. Coup
ons are as negotiable at all times as bank note
and will be paid in the hands of third party
and bona fde holders, even in the case where it
is known that they have been stolen.
kilograms received in Washington from New
Orleans, yesterday, state that Cutler and other
conventioners are preparing an address, in which
they give reasons for not meeting again. They
propose to hold another Convention, some time
in September, probably.
