New YORK. Dec. 29.-An American
gentleman, who recently had a converse
ton with Count Bismarck, gives the fol-
lowing as Bismarck's statement of his re-
lations with the continental powers as re-
CARDS RoImania. He said he mad written
TO Prince Charles, telling him TO take the
late King Leopold, of Belgium, as his
model; to give up all hope of an extension
of his territory, and to administer his gov
eminent with strict regard to existing Ed
ropean treaties; that if be was not inclined
to do this, nothing was left for him but to

cause Of the change just made in the policy
OF that primes. Count Bismarck's repre-.
sentations, according TO the Austrian Min
lister here, Of these proceedings and Of his
position towards Hsngary, had the effect
Of causing the latter to express his salts
faction with the peaceful intentions of his
government. Count Bismarck said the al
lance with Russia was one looking to
continuance of peace, and had no reference
to state of war. As TO the South German
States, he said il was his intention to leave
to them entirely the question of their ad-
mission to The Confederation; that it would
not be long before they would come knock
ing at the door. Until then he hoped
Germany would be closer and closer drawn
together by common Legislation.

STARTLING. IF TRUE.
Where are the Missing Confederate
Records?


In his article on the fight Of Jefferson
Davis, in the current number of Pack
ards Monthly, Mr.. e. A. Pollard makes
the remarkable statement that the bulk
OF the valuable documents Of the Confed~
crate government, including the cores
pondence of Jefferson Davis, exists to-
day in concealment; that many days be-
fore the fall Of Richmond there was
careful selection of important papers.
especially those in the office of the Presi-
dent, and letters which involved conf
dence in the North and in Europe, and
that these were secretly conveyed out of
Richmond, and deposited in q place
where they remain concealed to this
time, and will probably not be unearthed
in this generation. Where is this reposi,
tory Of the secrets of the Confederate
government, Mr. Pollard is not prepared
to say.
He has repeatedly sought access to
these papers cut of historical curiosity,
but he has been invariably met with the
explanation that while this indulgence
might be allowed him for such legitimate
purpose, it would be unsafe for private
reasons, and the information, il published,
might be productive of serious consequent
ees to persons Of importance yet living,
and within the jurisdiction of the govern
ment. 1t has been impossible to sur~
mount this objection, and there is no
doubt that many Of these papers do real
ly' involve discoveries of some curious
negotiations in the war, the parties to
which might astonish the public.
Mr.. Pollard mentions the case OF
single secret document which he was once
permitted to see in Richmond, wherein
certain parties offered to assist the Con-
iederacy by supplying its western armies
for a whole year from the granaries and |
magazines Of the North. Such impor- |
tant letters and other secret papers, (says |
Mr.. POllard,) still exist, were preserved
from the wreck and fire of Richmond,
and at this moment are k pit in man
ner and place which render them secure
against discovery, loss or mutilation.
The mysterious information which Mr..
Pollard thus communicates is much |
more agreeable than tho belief which we
had before entertained that the papers in
question had persisted. We can testify
that on the capture Of Richmond the
offices Of the Confederate government
were found to have been carefully strip
ped Of every document which was thought
important, and that the Rebel archives
now preserved at Washington are of
very little historical value indeed.-Net1

ANINFEREsrINs WILL CASE.

Miss Polly henderson, Of Milton, who
was fifty years of age and worth about
$1,000, in February, 1861, bestowed
her hand, though not her goods" upon
Mr.. Jonathan Cary. Two years previous
to this event she had made her will,
giving the bulk of her property to the
American Missionary Society Of New
York, aud the Congregational Society OF
Milton. In August, 1868, she died,
leaving The will unchanged, and the ques-
ton as to the validity Of this will Il now
pending in the Chittenden County Court.
The question at issue in the arbitration
was as TO the right Of the husband TO
share in this $4,000. The recent ex-
animation Of witnesses, Of whom there
were more than forty, occupied eighteen
days, Mr.. Cary being kept on the witness
stand nine days in succession. The des
ciSiOn Of the arbitratOrs, which is final
only as respects Mr.. Cary's right in the
property, but has no bearing upon the
validity Of the will, was announced Tues
day. Under this decision the husband
receives $1,000, and the balance Of the
property goes to the estate.-BHFiiHgiOH
