CONDITIONS OF THE SURRENDER AT Sc
DAN.-The conditions prove to be the surren
der of the whole army, not less than 100000
men, as prisoners Of war, with all their arms,
baggage, horses, standards, and guns The
officers who sign an engagement not to serve
against Prussia during the war. may return
to their homes, the remainder to be sent to
German towns in Germany. Many officers
refuse to sign, prcferring to share the captivi
ty Of their men.
On Saturdav the whole force laid down
their arms. Not few soldiers in their rage
broke rather than give up their arms, and the
streets were Uttered with fragments Of all
kinds of weapons broken swords; rifles, PTS
tolls, lance1s helmets, cuirasses. even mitrnil-
leuses covered the ground; and in one place
where the Meuse runs through the town the
heaps of such fragments choked the stream
and rose above the surface. The mud of the
streets was black with gunpowder. The hor-
ses had been tied to the houses and gun car
riages, but nobody remembered to feed or
water them, and in the frenzy of hunger and
thirst they broke loose and ran villa through
the town. Who ever liked might have a
horse-even officers horses, which we're pri-

STATE CONSERVATIVE COMMITTEE, Sep
TENDER 9-The State Conservative Commit
tee Of Virginia have seen with concern that:
in making Conservative nominations for Office
there is IA disposition, in some quarters, to dis
regard the plan of organization adopted by
the committee, in pursuance of the recon-
mendation Of the Conservative Legislative
Conference Without the regular action Of
party discipli whereby alone the strength
of the party can be concentrated aud prescrv
ed, party defeat is inevitable. Nominations
in open mass meetings bind nobody, and
leave the Disappointed f &c to set up for
thcnisclvcs, thereby promoting dlsscns;ons, by
which Conservative strength will be frIttcred
away. and Conservative maj"ritcs will be lost.
By irresponsible nominations for Congress,
Irrespective, perhaps, of political disqualified
ton and suggested merely by personal partial
tiles, all the advantages Of concert and intel
liyent reference to the movements IF the al
perso,y will be thrown away. 10 secure
these advantages as far as possible. nominal
Ing conventions for Congress are put, as to
time and place, at the discretion of the mem
bers of Tie State Committee in each district
The committee repeat with emphasis what
they said in their address: Let nominations
be made in all cases by the organized accred
tied action Of the party in each locality, and,
when made, let them receive the unrcseryed
and active support Of all. In no case should
more than one Conservative candidate for an
Office be allowed BY the opposite course,
divisions will be lead to defeat, or by making
the adversary the arbiter of our discussions,
will lead to the obiteration of party lines and
the ultimate destruction Of Conservatism it.

PARIS, September THE following is the
address of General Wimpffen to the soldiers,
dated Sedan, September 3rd.
So1die,s-On Thursday you fought against
force greatly superior in numbers, from day
break until dark You resisted Tire enemy
with the utmost bravery; when you had fred
your last cartridge, were worn out with fight
ing, and not being able to respond to the call
Of Generals and officers to attempt to rejoin
Marshal Bazaiue by the road to Montmedy.
you were forced to retreat on Sedan. In
this desperate effort but 1000 men could be
got together. and your Generals deemed the
attempt utterly hopeless and impracticable-
Your General found, with deep regret, when
the army was reunited within the walls Of the
town. that it had supplies neither of food
nor ammunition; could neither leave the
place nor defend it, means of existence be-
ing alike wanting for the population. was
therefore, reduced to the sad alternative of
treating with the enemy. Isent yesterday to
the Prussian headquarters with full powers
from the Emperor, but could not at first bring
myself to accept the conditions imposed by
the enemy. This morning, however, mem
accd by a bombardment to which we could not
reply, I decided to make fresh attempt to
get honorable terms have obtained con-
dltions by which VIC are saved much of the
possible annoying and insulting formalitios
which the usagcs of war generally impose.
Under the circumstances in which we find
ourselves it only remains for us, officers and
soldiers, to accept with resignation the con,
sequences of this surrender We have at
least the consolation of knowing that useless
massacre has been avoided, and we yielded
only under circumstances against which no
army could fight, namely, want of food and
ammunition Now, soldiers, in conclusion
let me say that you are still able to render
brilliant services to your country without be-
ing needlessly slaug htered.

Six Persons Poisoned.

: The Richmond Dispatch says that on the

son and Josephene Peasants, were arrested
upon charge of poisoning six persons of col
-or-yiz Mary Powell, Scott Branch, William
West, Jane Allen, Sally Howell and her lit
tie son.
Mary Powell keeps sort of boarding house
near the old United States Hotel, and has
had in her employment Frances Thompson ior
so long time that she was looked upon as
confidential servant, and entrusted with every
thing pertaining to the household affairs
Things went on in this coy way until few
days since, when quarrel sprung up between
the two parties, and Oh Monday the cook and
boarders were all taken sick abo It the same
time and 10 the same manner. physlcla1
was sent for to see Powell, and from the symp
toms exhibited treated the case for cholera
morbus, but so soon as the others were attack
ed in a similar manner he suspected minera
poisoning, and treated the case accordingly
All of the intended victims are recovering
with the exception Of the boy, who is not ye
considered out of danger.
We understand that Frances was seen t
put something from white paper into tn
-four which was to be cooked, and poltlo
of it, which was rejected by the stomach Q
one of the patients, was administered to dog
which died in a short time.
The food has been analysed by DR.. VIM. a
