France and Luxemberg.

1t is now known that Napoleon,
dceming the possession of Luxemburg
indispensable for the military securi-
ty of the French frontier, not long
since commenced negotiations with
the King of Holland for the purchase
of Tie Ora nd Duchy aud its incorpo-
ration witk the French Empire; but
as the Fortress Of Luxemburg, which
is one of the strongest fortiications
in Europe, is held by a Prussian gar
rison, and the Prussiaa Government,
backed by the whole of Germany,
firmly objects to the transfer of the
Duchy to France, the King Of Hol-
land has withdrawn from any further
negotiations on the subject.
The French Emperor insists that
his propositions shall be carried out
and the treaty completed. The ma
tional pride of France has been deep
ly wounded, and wild anti-Prussi-
an feeling has succeeded throughout
the country. Meantime, while the
dispute is pending, both Prussia and
France are making military prepara-
tions.
This threatening state Of affairs is
the cause Of the financial panic which
now exists in London, Paris and all
the principal centors of Europe.

General Mcpherson loved and was
loved by girl Of rore beauty and
worth. in Baltimore, aud had the
promise Of leave of absence iu the
spring Of 1864 to go to Baltimore TO
be married.
Tho exigcncies Of tho military SER
vice, in connection with the grand
movement of the Atlanta and viii
derness campaigns, which Gen. Grant
directed should be begun simultano.
Cusly, compelled Gcucral Sherman to
the painful necessity Of denying this
leave. He wrote a kind aud touch.
ing letter to tho girl, taking the whole
responsibility aud begging her to
consider that General Mcpherson had
no option, but soldiorly dishonor or
obedience and promising him leave
the earliest moment the service would
allow.
As we looked on his beautiful face,
pale and cold in death, even the re-
mcmbrance of his virtues and his
value to his army and to the country,
was hushed in tho thought of the
deep love which but fcw hours bo.

and such geuiality of manners, and
Of the irreparable sorrow soon tC

brace death had so cruelty snatchet

Sherman slowly paced the floor
stopping short frequently to receive
reports of the progress Of the fight
or to give orders for its conduct; or
to gaze into the lifeless face of his
beloved Captain, the tears, meanwhil,
rapidly coursing down his rough, wal

ioniDg them into form of beauty:
to sparkle in Gods light while time
shall last, the story Of his virtues.
But earth caught them, mingled
with the blood of those who shed
them, and her flowers, nourished by
them, will be tho sympathetic testi-
mony to his manly beauty Of form and
soul.
In conclusion, I will say that the
high military renown of General Nc
Phcrsou, together with the possession
by him of those gentle qualities, won
for him the sobriquct Of tho beloved
Mcpherson, so peculiarly distinguish
ed him as tojustify exceptional action
ton in his case, and warrant us in
contributing this little sum to honor
the memory of the most distinguished
soldier of Ohio, and Of the Union,
who fell in the late war; that it may
be joined to the sum of thirty thou
sand dollars already raised by private
subscription, in the army and among
citizens, in raising monument which
shall tell all future ages of his
service aud fame.

which was net profit, to be applied to
payment of interest and further con-
structicn. This is unparalleled in
the history Of industrial enterprise Of
the kind. Supposing tho volume of
business to remain the same, the Com
pany would be earning, by July next
with the same transit rates, oUer too
millions a year, of ,ohich three; ;fourths
loopld be net profits, since the ratio Of
operating expenses dimiDishes as the
heavy grading is left behind. But,
in fact, there is good reason to be-
lieye that the traffic will be doubled
or quadruplcd when the terrible
mountain draught can be done by
the steam.horse so that without es.
timatiug the through travel which
must then fall to its share, the legiti-
mate business Of the road is enorm-
Gus. The interest engagements Of
the company, by reason Of the favor
of the Government aud California
corporations, will be but little over
halfa million, upon 1856 miles of the

therefore look for some astonishing
progress during the coming Summer.

of the very best, they yield @ per

per cent upon its outlay, there can be
few safer or more profitable perma-
