PrusSian Policy.

POLICY or PRUSSIA. "
At sitting Of tho Committee of the
Lower House upon tho address, held on
the 18th nltimo, Count Bismark gave
tho following explanations as to the poll.

Littlo difference exists between tic
authors of the various drafts of address,
or between tho Government and the
Chambers, as to tho object to which tho
policy of Germany ought to be directed.
The question is only TO discover by what
methods that object shall bc attained.

this risk it we had crossed the limits
we have marked ont for our policcv.
We must keep Tho engagements 40 havo
contracted in this respect, and above all
create confidence in our word. But
we do not think it would have been use.
tll at present to go further. The Prus.
sian Government is sufficiently animated
" strong ambition to render it advisa.
Sle to moderate rather than stimulate it.
According to the peace prcliminarics,
the North Germans will nave tho charge
OF regulating the national relations of
the Southern Confederation. 70 carry
out this task we shall have to examine
whether tho want Of this org;fhiza,ion
is felt more strongly by the population

Gen. Martin luther Smith.

We announced but brief while ago, says
the Atlantic InteHigencer, the sudden death
In Rome Co., Of tho above distinguished
gentleman. We wcll remember to hayo
often looked in silent admiration upon the
soldier-like form Of General Smith during
that fearful! campaign beginning at the
'Wilderness" and, ending at Appomattox
Court House. Especially during the. bloody
struggle at Spottsylvania Court House, did
his watchful oyo scan that hastily thrown
up line OF intrenchments, against which tho
surged i'll vain. Calmly, silently, he was
eoen riding to and fro amidst the shower of
shot and shell, rs if in admiration of tho
heroic manner in which lees gallant vete-
rams were defending tho lines his mathe-
matical eye had drawn for them. Since
thatday other forms than his hayo passed
to the great beyond General Smith has
gone to join his comrades. An exchange
thus speaks of Of him:
In tho old army of the Potomac q silent
looking gentleman, but ono whose restless
eye seemed to notice cvory shrub rnd bush,
wearing the star Of general, accompanied
the lines. His presence seemed to create an
awe as he rode along and the most noisy
even hushed. Also the staff that rode be-
hind him wero perfectly quiet They in
dulgcd in no conversation, and no smile
wreathed their lips. Like shadows they
rode after n spectre.
Tho soldiers would say, "Who is that 2"
''Why, that's General Smith," "Who's
General Smith?' would be the noxt inquiry.
"I don't know" Wo havo repeatedly heaI d
these remarks, rs this great scientific man
passed tho lines, and never without tho
thought of "What is fame 81
General Martin Luther Smith was q
graduate Of West Point, and served through
tho Mexican war with distinction. He had
tho reputation Of being ono of the best Off
ce.s in his line in the service. He, entered
tho Confederate scrvice, and from that time
until the close of the war, labored industri-
ously in his duties as general and chief of
engineers. 1t was he who selected the sites
for the dcfenses thrown up from tho Wilder
ness to Petersburg; it was he who selected
the limo for our heroes TO. dress upon, and
night and day, with industry, genius and
perseverance,, this great man labored under
his distinguished chicftain, Robt. L. Lee,

Co., for intcrmont. at the time of his
death he was chief engineer of that system
Of railroads which is to connect Selma, Ala,
nnd Dalton, Co., Of which Gen. Johnston is
president, and which is now in process of

We frequently hear of prett,

orlHtirc!y pretty-in fact, in it the

there'is ''prctty little" in it
A pretty little maiden
Had pretty little dream,

Was tho pretty little theme.
y pretty little bachelor
TO win her favor tried,
And asked her how she'd like.to, be.
His pretty little bride.

And q pretty little sigh,
Aud some pretty little glanccs
From q pretty little eye;
With pretty littlo face
Behind pretty fan
Sho smiled on tho proposals
Of this pretty little man.
Some pretty little Gloves"
And some pretty little ''dears,"
Some pretty little smiles,
And some pretty little tears;

And pretty little kiss,
Were some pretty little prclndcs

And hor pretty little spark,

And his pretty little clerk

United them for lifo,

RELEASE OF Mr.. DAVIS. = More
than half-a-dozen times, in ono paper
and another, and another, we see tho
four words put together as in our cap
tion. We tremulously draw it up to
the reading distance, and alas it
turns out to be that Mr.. Somebody,
tho reliable correspondent of such
paper, says that he heard Captain a.
tell Colonel B. that he Captain A }
heard that President johnson told
Senator G., who told Gen.. D., that he
president Johnson) intended to re-
leave Mr.. Davis. How sickcning it is
to the heart Of one who feols as he
should for tie prisoner,. to read these
cruelty lying words, that ssMr., Davis
is soon to be reloased," when. day fol-
lows day, and week follows week, and
the tantalizing falsohood is repeated
again and again,.as if with ghoulish
mookery. And, after all, it may be
so,, that Mr.. Davis is soon to be"releas-
cd-released by Him who hath said {:
eff ruler hearkon to lies, all his SER
wants are wicked"
President johnson has already too
long suffered Mr.. Davis to lingor in
that noisome dungeon. IIo has par
doned men a thousand times wiekcder
I'M every rcspectr If that dungeon
door Is not opened in ten days it need
mover be opened, SO far us the fair
fame of the President is concerned :;
for our honest belief is that a down
trodden people, thus vicariously in
carcerated, after he, (the aPresident,)
at Philadelphia, smoked with them
the calumet of peace, can nevor forget
or forgive him, however much they
may try Griffin Ga. Herald.

SOUTHERN FEELING AS TO Nonru-.
ERT DEAD.--Gcn. Geo. w. Morgan. n
soldier of the war, who is stunning as n
Democratic candidate for Congress in
the Coshocton district, against Colum-
bus Dclano, recently made the follow
ing statement in speech there:
*** The people of the South
have extended to the people of tho
West and North tho hand of rcconcil-
iation. TO sustain what say + could
narrato many facts, but. will mention
but one.
In order TO- secure suitable cen,o:.
terry for our gallant soldiers who fell
upon tho plains of Alabama, tho uu-.
thorities of the United States desired
to purchase three acres beautifully To-
Gated within the corporate limits of
the city of Mobile. The tract was
valuable, but the purpose was sacred;
to which it was to be dedicated. Ip
was proposed to mako three acres tho
honorcd home of the Union dead, anI
there, within tho corporate limits oR'
Mobile, to erect monument to COM
memoratc their deeds. But the au-.
thoritios of Mobile refused to SELL.
What ! refuse to sell sufficient ground
to contain tho bones of our absent
ones-our, fathers, brothers, sons 2?
Yes, my countrymcn, these Southon'
men did refuse to sell sufficient ground
on which to bury our heroic dead
but with Il magnanimity only cquallcd
by their courage, those Southern men
did by free gift convey those three
acres to tho United States And the
hand of the Mayor of Mobilc-tho

Why EARLY DIDN'T TAKE WAsHJNoToN
CIry.-She credit of saving the city is due
alone to n bull and barrel of whiskey.
Said bulf was the property of Mr.. George
W. Riggs, the banker, and was much cs.
teemed for his many excellent qualities and
intrinsic usefulness. The whiskey was
barrel Of choice old Burhon, found in MIR.
Montgomery Blair's wine cellar. When
Jubal Early and his rebel host reached the
dsfcnces of Washington they were both hun
CRY and thirsty, and went to. searching the
houses of tho, neighborhood for whatever
was good. The bull was discovered and
slaughtered, and the rebel Generals and
their staff banquetted on him. And thore
was great1 rejoicing when the barrel of
whiskey was captured and brought. forth.
When these rebol gentlemen had filled their
stomaohs on the fesh' of the bull. they had
such afondhess for the. whiskey that they
allowed 1t to steal away their brains. In
deed. they gave themselves up TO, feastinpr
and drinking, and quito forgot that thew
had been sent to capture Washington, wh,oh,
they might easily have done, for il was, at
that time In q defenceless condition. The
delay caused by this riotous conduct on, tho.
part of Early and his subordinate Generals
gave the old Sixth corps time to come up,
when they scampered back across the Poto.

much dreaded army worm has at last
made its appearance in our county,
Capt William Thompson, who resides
in this vicinity, brought four leaves OF
the cotton plant into our office yester-
day morning, upon which were good
many worms of various sizes, but the
full grown seeming to be about one
inch and half in length, slender, light
green color. slightly speckled on the
back, and when touched, would writhe
