A Nashville paper makes the following
statement as to the shipment of corn north
ward: ga most noticeable feature in COM
meFcial matters here is the present large
shipment of corn to the North. The send
ing of corn to Louisville and Cincinnati iR
something almost beyond the memory of
the Oldest inhabitant. The cause is simp.
ly that a better price, by some twenty
cents, is paid in Cincinnati than in Nash
Vile. Several car loads of corn are now
shipped North daily over the Louisville and
Nashville railroad

An exchange says sometimes men get
along without advertising. Instances are
given of pilgrims reaching Mecca on their
knees. It is easier, pleasanter, swifter to
travel by the cars. Liberal and discreet
advertising puts business on wheels, and
renders it active, bene6cent to the public,
and remunerative to the dealer.''

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES
FROM NEW YORK.

New York, April 2S.-The steamer
Carolina has arrived at Southampton.
The Paris Presse contains rumor that
Bismarck would resign in consequence
of differences between him and the King,
the latter being unwilling to accept the
evacuation of Luxembourg on principle.
Bismarck made speech in the North
German Parliament, announcing the
concurrence of the amendment to the
draft of a Federal constitution to
strengthen the army. A peace footing
remains unaltered until common Fed
eral Code law could be promulgated. He
opposed the amendment, and the next
five years should be considered years of
transition, and that after that period an
army on peace footing would be main
tanned in the same strength as hitherto,
until the PRONUNCIATION of a general
code Of laws, when the army expenses
would nevertheless be fixed by special
law on the basis of the hitherto existing
organization. The amendment Bismarck
supported was rejected by vote of l67
against ITO, when Bismarck urgently re-
quested the House to pass an amendment
which would leave to the Government
choice of promulgating common fede-
raj code of laws, saying, unless this
amendment was adopted, and the Fede-
raj Government should not agree to the
draft, the task of drawing up constitu.
ton might be, possibly, at the last mo-
ment,- frustrated. Notwithstanding this
the amendment was rejected by vote Of
1871 against ll9. The amendment which
Bismarck opposed was adopted by 2O2
against so. An the remaining articles
of the draft we're then adopted
The Italian Government has given
