whether he is notu interested in large Southern

Sometime since Mr.. Hutchius established
claim Office 70 New Orleans, aud advertised
superior facilities for prosecuting claims 10 the
Court et Claims. He was successful. and pro-
cured many claims against the Government
some Of which, involving immense SUMS Of mon

of the Grey Jacket. rebel block ads runner, +,

by the U. S. District Court of louisa na, May
25lh. 1864, and was retired and judgment al
frmed Sept. 6, 1864. An appeal has been to-
ken to the Supreme Court where the case stands

that it was sold by order of the Court.) and il
successful is to have with his associates very
large fee-one hundred thousand doHars.-
Strong efforts have been made to have the ves-
fully. II, however, Mr.. Hutchiu's Superior TO-

obtained, or outside influence increased. who
can tell how soon this, and all like rebel claims
will succeed. and our people ruined in paying
rebels for losses incurred in upholding Treason.

On Friday last, while Mr.. N. Philips and
James Carlin were engaged in scraping on
the Oil Mill Hill one ofthe horses stepped of
the edge OF the bank and before he could re-
cover bis foothold was tumbling with his mate
down the bank-a distance of nearly forty feet.
The horses became so entanglod that they were
unable to get up and while Philips and Carlin
were endeavoring to clear them, the neck yoke,
by some unaccountable means struck Mr.. Car

wound. What is IN ost remarkable is that nei-

The TURN IN THB AFFAIRS OF EURoPB, has
been sudden and surprising, and as remarkable
and unprecedented as surprising. That three
nations OF such power, after such extensive
military preparations, after placing under arms
an aggregate of more than two millions of men,
after expending immense sums of money on
warlike materiel and equipment and, above all,
after battles in which many thousands have
been lost, should successfully negotiate peace
within six weeks from the commencement of
hostties, is scarceeely conceivable, and it re-
quires an effort of faith to realise the fact.
The blows that have fallen with such force
and suddenness upon Austria have no doubt
filled her with alarm and quickened her
anxiety for peace. She is humbled and subdued,
and such succession of defeats have no doubt
gone far to dspirt her forces, and it may well
be concluded that further continuance of hos
tilities under such circumstances were hardly
to be expected Her rights are more likely to
be obtained in council than on the field, and
her interests will lead her to peace if she can
have it without too much dishonor.
Prussia, on the other hand has no reason-for
desiring further conflict. She is now in posi-
ton TO demand all, that, in any event, the rest
of Europe would allow her. AS for bringing
Austria under her yoke, that would never be
permitted. Her demand to become the ruling
power in the German Confederation and that
Austria be excluded from it, is not improbable,
and that is as much as she would be allowed to
enjoy.
Italy will, of course, follow the lead of Prus-
sla. She has no reason for quarrel now with
Austria Venctia is her object and that is held
by France.
As for the course OF Louis Napoleon, We
must await the developments of time. We may
however imagine the distasefulness to the
nephew of his uncle of the change ofthe English
cabinet Tory cabinet in England is perhaps,
anything but propiiOus to the ambition of the
LII Al. o
expecting peoce, the Cable brings us news that
an armistice of four weeks from the 9th ult,
has been signed by Prussia, Austria and the
German States, and propositions for lasting
peace over the whole continent are to be con-
sidered So, the signs of the times are propi-
tions.
Yet we should not be too confident of hap
py result OF this conference. Conflicting inter-
ests may open new breaches, and it will not be
cause for wonder ifthe peace-conference may
fail OF its end and design. and the further dis
turbance of Europe possibly follow.
