General SHERIDAN writes that General GRIFFIN,
OF Texas recommends the removal Of Governor
THRocKMoRToN, of that State; that he (SHEaIDAN)
agrees with GRIrFM. SHERIDAN also thinks he
win have to rsiaove the Governor Of Louisiana.
He further save he will commence the work of re-
gistraton as soon as he receives certified copy OF
the law; that he (sH1RDAN) feels himself equal to
the task imposed upon him by the law, and will
perform his work with credit to tho military Gen.
SHERIDAN concludes by saying: II shall make but
not be proper to remove Govern'rs; that the sub
ject is under consideration and it is not be-
ieved that military commanders have the power,
and that removals can only be made by act OF Con-

The relations between Austria and Prussia ap-
pear to be quite friendly. Some Of the leading
papers Of Austria advocate the conclusion OF de-
fensive and offensive alliance between the two coun-
tries and Ministerial paper of Berlin Significantly
replies that Austria would not find more faithful
ally than Prussia, if she would enter without res
eryation, into close union, and promote the na-
tional DEVELOPMENT Of Germany. Some years ago,
Prussia proposed to Austria the conclusion OF m
offensive and defensive alliance, with a mutual
guarantee OF territories, if Austria would consent
TO withdraw from the German Confederation and
cede to Psussia the leadership of New Germany.
The above language Of the Ministerial paper Of
Berlin, ard the present relations of Prussia with
the South German States would seem to indicate
that renewal Of similar propositions from Prussia
TO Austria is by no means impossible.

mark nearly two miles distant, making good shots
which would have soon disposed of an ordinary
vessel Anumber If fool-hardy youths dotted the
ice IN close proximity to tho targets, to pick up the
spent missiles. Coolly watching each shot, they
were often within only few yards Of its track, and
no sooner it s1ick the target, ON the ice, than
the lads pounced ON it like vultufes, and claimed
II ss their own.
