The Relations with Prussia-How Germany
wus "Assisted''--(seucral La Marmora's
Reading Of the secret Dcspatch-Frcnch
Diplomacy.
FLORENCE, July 30, 1858.
Much excitement has been caused throughout the
peninsula by the publication Of the Prussian stan
report of the "x Weeks War" OF 1860, In which the
part supposed to be taken by Italy in assisting her
German ally has been completely ignored, as well as
direct inanuations to the utter incapacy Of the
Italian generals, with sneers at the "vaporng en-.
fhusasmr.o Of the Italian troops Notwithstanding that
their every effort during the campaign ended in
sdefeat and disaster" The irritation has not been
a)layed by the "sccne' which has just taken place
In the Chamber OF Deputies caused by General
La Marmora reading, for all whom II may con-
cern the 'secret despatch from Berlin to Florence
ut the opening Of the campaign, In connection
with which he attempted 10 show that Bismarck
wanted to force Italy certain line az action that
would only the interests OF Prussia alone and
at the same time strip Italy Of any share of glory In
the great struggle with her Austrian enemy. La
Marmora's personal prestige has been materially d.
mnshed since 1866, and 1t thought In his efforts TO
recover II that he VIII get up antPrusslan feeling
in the country reckless OF all consequences The real
facts 10 connection with the matter are interesting
Three weeks before the breaking out OF the war for
the liberation OF Venice, Count d'Usedom the Prus
sian Minister at the Court OF Florence, had repeated
conversations with General La Marmora, The Prus.
sian Minister sought TO impress on the General how
desirable 1t was that the Italians should not throw
themselves nconsideratey upon the Quadrilateral,
but should act In perfect agreement with their Prus
sian allies In order TO the great aim OF their
league. the breaking up OF the Austrian monarchy.
Count d'Usedom was not alone In those conversa-
lions with General La Marmors; his views were re-
peated and enforced by an elderly oniccr, General
Bernhard, the military representative attached 10
ihe Prussan Embassy at Florence.

ATTEMPTED WIFE MURDER.

About eight O'Clock last night the attention OF off,
Ger Capler was attracted by the screams of woman
in residence In Cook street, Smith, Brooklyn,
E. D., and on entering the place he found man
named August Ganther nourishing a formidable
knife, and on further investigation ascertaned that
he had attempted to murder his wife Caroline with
it, having stabbed her in the back, mliictng q
dangerous wound. The officer promptly disarmed
the would-be murderer and took him TO the station
house. The wounded woman was properly cared
for and will probably recover.

For the Citizen.
WHAT OUGHT THE PEOPLE OF MIS-
SIS5IPPI TO DO?

That is question of great moment
to us at this time, for the year 1868
and ought to be well considered by
us. The question of bread is the
question that rings in most minds
now. But will we pursue the course
best calculated to give us, under the
blessing of ,iod, this article9 Two
years Of foolish cotton planting leads
me to fear We will not. Cotton and
money have such claims to so many,
that to secure them, many--most of
the people-seem willing to have
their corn cribs and smoke. houses in
the Northwestern States. Such a
course, if persevered in, will keep us
poor and in debt. Let us. then, de-
termine that we will not plant cotton
in 1868; or if any, not more than 3
acres to the hand. None would be
the best policy, if am not mistaken.
Plant corn, peas, potatoes, oats, rice,
goobers," and next fall SOW large
quantities of wheat and rye. Plant
sorghum, too.
This will give us food /; and that
will bring people here to buy up the
lands, and cause them to bring from
fifty to one hundred per cent more
than they will bring at this time.
There are now cotton and goods
enough on hand to last the lc0rd at
least four years! Why, then, con,
tinue to make cotton the crop when
there is 80 great a scarcity of food in
our land? For, blind as some are to
the fact, there is not two thirds
enough bread in the land for the peo-
pie in it. But five SOW oats for the
work stock, and plant Irish potatoes
for ourselves, and have early vegeta-
bles we may make out till corn will
do to use next summer. Let us have
IA big corn crop this year.
