Sulphur Springs, where he will only remain,
however, day or two, returning on Thursday.
Gen. Lac is at the White Sulphur, and report
has it, that the Generals will exchange views
as to the present status and future petica
prospects OF the South, and the best means
OF restoring peace and prosperity to this section
Of the Union y.
The statement published in the papers of
this city, and telegraphed to the Northern
press, to the effect that the French and Prus,
sian Ministers resident here had received cable
dispatches indicating o war as likely to arise
between those two countries, and as
serting that Agents Of the French
Government in this countryaaare buying
up horses and forage, is pronounced
by Minister Berthemy to be without the slight:
foundation in fact; that the relations between
the two countries are perfectly amcable, and
that mo agent OF the French Government is au
thorizcd to make any purchases Of the articles
named whatever. The report is an entire fabE.
