The Emperor's Surrender.

to the Times from Sedan, Sd inst: "When

road from Sedan in a brougham Count
Bismarck was in his bed, 10 his quarters at
Donhery, when an officer rushed in and az
nounced that the Emperor was coming to
meet him and to see the King.
Count Bismarck rose and dressed hastily,
you may be sure, in white peaked cap with
yellow band, dark uniform coat with metal
buttons and yellow facings, and FASTENED to
meet the Emperor. Flo was in time to stop

sitting on stone outside. Two chairs were
brought out of the cottage. The Emperor

other and placed it on his Maiesty's left
| hand side. The officers in attendance on their
| fallen master lay down some distance away up
on small plat of grass in front of the cot

and as Count Bismarck has repeated it freely,
or the principal parts OF it., no doubt it will &c
soon known and remain forever as historic
The great point to be gained was peace, but as
far as his Imperial Majesty was concerned no
assurance of it could be obtained by Count
Bismarck.
The Emperor stated he had no power, could
not negotiate peace and could not give orders
to the army or to Marshal Bazaine. The En-
press was Regent of France, and on her and
| her MINISTER'S must devolve negotiations. So
| Count Bismarck thereupon remarked that it
was of no avsil to hold any further CONVERSE
ton on political matters with his Majesty and
that it would be Of no use to see the King.
The Emperor desired to see the King in per-
| son, but Count Bismarck declared it was not
possible to accede to his Majcstys wishes until
the capitulation had been signed. Then, as
| conversation was becoming rather dangerous.
and as the situation was becoming difficult on
both sides, he ended it, and the interview ter
minated. Bismarck went to see the King, and
the Emperor withdrew to consult bis officers.

compelled to assume command of an army
which was already beaten through ignorance Of
the position. Still he refused to sign the ar.
ticles Of capitulation. The Prussians produc-

iCOMMUNICAETD.

THE ALEXANDRIA LIBRARY. -Notice is Civ.
en- to the public ia the Gazette of Saturday,
that the Board of Directors OF the Alexandria
Library Company have decided to allow the
use Of their books until the lst of April 1871
to any one who will subscribe $3.50. This is
liberal. 1t is another, added to the many evi
dences hitherto given, of the earnest and dis
interested endeavors of this Company to make
the Library blessing to all the people of our
city. They evidently mean TO have good
library and reading room, and that the people,
however limited their means, shall have the
bene6tof it. They have rescued the old libra
~ from almost entire dsuse, added to 1t many
new volumes, arranged the books with much
labor and little, perhaps, no cost, provided and
fitted up commodious, handsome and COM
Portable room, and now cffer their books for
the whole OF that part Of the year which affords
the best opportunities for reading especially
to the laboriDg and business classes, for the
small sum of $3.50.
To what extent the more wealthy and intel
igent citizens of Alexandria have contributed
to the establishment and support OF this library,
the writer is not informed. But surely they
cannot be Indifferent to the commendabe e.
forts of these worthy gentlemen, or the excel
lence and public Importance or the enterprise IN
which they have shown so much ZEAL 1t is
reasonable to suppose, at least, that such per
sons either already have, or will subscribe,
whether they have any need OF the books or
not. The Inject must commend itself to all
who feel any interest whatever IN the culture
of our youth, the diffusion of knowledge, and
the literary advantages OF our dear old Virginia
city.
We may specially congratulate the young
men of Alexandra upon the advantages thus
afforded them. By the kind efforts OF others
they have quiet and comfortable room 10
which to spend their evenings, and useful and
interesting books aud periodicals 10 which to
study history, biography, current literature,
&C., for eight months,a at COST CT $3.50.
Such an advantage surely will not be neglect
ed. What other resort so Tree from evil asso-
Citations and temptations? Where can your
leisure hours be so pleasantly and proisably
employed2 The young men who shall BE- found
in the Alexandria reading room will hereafter
be found among the Intelligent, reliable and
prominent citizens of our city, and Of our
