THEY EXPECTED TO CONE. The knowledge
possessed by the PrusSian staff officers OF the
French districts entered by their Invading ar
NY is very remarkable. They know where
every village liss They can tell at ono, the
amount of stab ing it has, and whether there
is large church or schoolhouse in which men
or horses can be quartered. From these facts
it is evident that Prussia had not only counted
upon this war and prepared her armies and
allies for it, but had thoroughly canvasssd the
roads Of France from the Rhine to Paris be
iorehand, and had noted down vast amour t
OF useful information to an invading army
Hence the precision and success of the ad-
vance of the German columns from point to
point. They know the roads and the distances
ccs lom poiot to point, the fortfi: ID places en-
route, the mountain passes, river crossings,
&c, and the places where subsistence for men
and horses may be obtained. The Prussians
we're thus prepared for the march to Paris
when Napoleon moved forward McMahon to
the Rhine for his march to Berlin. The tables
have been turned in the matter of prompt &C

AN IMPORTANT DECISION. The Supreme
Court of Georgia, few days ago, announced
dicision virtually aunuIliug the suspension Of
the Statute Of Limitations made between 1861
and 1868. We understand that the effect of
the decision is to bar all notes due on or before
the 5ist OF October, 1855; also, all accounts
due TWO years later. The court only recognizes
Suspension OF one year made Just before the
war, considering suspensions made during the
war as war measures, and holding them to be
void. The ordinance Of the convention of 1868
was held not to tetroac- so as to give validity
to former suspensions AS the statute bars
notes overdue for six years, ard as the suspen
sion Of one year. (lS60) was held to be legal
the effect of the decision is to bar recovery Oh
notes becoming due seven years up to 3lst o.
