LONDON, May S.-Thes Peace Con-
gress met yesterday. The following
are the names of the plenipotentia-
ries: England, lord Stanley, Presi-
dent; France, Prince De La Tour
Avergne; Prussia, Count Bornstroff;
Austria, Count Appoinye; Russia,
Baron Brunnow; Italy, Marquis De
Azzlio; Luxembourg, Baron Tornace;
Belgium, M. Ven Denyr; Neither
lands, Baron Benville. The proceed
ings are secret. This much is known,
however: France is willing to accept
the dismantling of Luxemburg, so it
will not remain menacing. Prussia
will not consent, unless all the powers
guarantee q settlement. England
hesitates to give any guarantee. The
session adjourned, to enable the dele
gates to receive instructions from
their respective Governments. Mean
time, the war preparations proceed.
France is buying arms in both Eng
land and Spain. The Prussian troops
of the regular army are held in readi-
ness to support Luxembourg. Bis
marck declares the situation more
serious than heretofore. Russia is
converting muskets into breech-
leaders.

Butthe people of the, South must
do something to induce immigration,
ana one OF the first things necessary
MES to establish second-class through
rates of fare at low tariff. The
present rates are only local, and very
high. When we compare the cost of
going from New York to st. Louis or
Chlcago with the cost of going as far
Southward, we see reasons why the
emigrant cannot now be induced to
try the latter.
There are fine openings for the
organization of emigrant companies
in the South. Large tracts of i'm
proved land can be bought at low
figure, and these lands sold to emf
grants in alternate sections would at
once become more valuable than in
the most prosperous days of old.

Impeachment Of Judges.

We notice from the Legislative pro.
cccdings, that charges have been made to
the House Of Representatives, at Little
Rock, indicative Of the impeachment of
Judges HARRAL and HARGRovE; and we
learn that charges are about being pre-
ferred nginst Judge BoLLEs, of this, the
4th Judicisl District II seems TO us, the
matter OF Impeachment, should not be
entered into hastily or with imprudence
or that charges should be made that
will not stand the scrutiny of searching
and impartial investigation. Judges, like
every body else, are human, and liable to
err in judgment; and in these times, a
liberal allowance should be made con-
sdering the conflicting opinions Of those
in high places on Judicial subjects.
What there is in the other Judicial Dis
triets, mentioned, that should call for
the impeachment and removal of the
Judges, We know not, but in this, we
have Yet to learn, that there are sufli-
cient grounds, and we trust no action
will be taken tending to such an end 1t
is well enough for Arkansas, at this time
and in the matter of impeachment, to
"make haste slowly" Let her wait and
see how Congress progresses with the
impeachment OF the President. For the
first thing We may know, Arkansas, as Il
State, may be knocked into cooked

the same ends which this is designed to
subserve, rendering it unnecessary at the
present to make rehearsal Of the same
matter contained therein embracing the
geographical and agricultural advantages
of our district. will merely advert in
