It is predicted that the terms for peace

AUsrRo-ENaLisH TREATY NEUTRALITY
DECLARED BY PERHAPS ALL THE GREAT
POWERS.
LONDON, August 27.-Bourges, the cap
itsl city of the department of Cher, Is
terrifying, 1t is SAID the Emperor, mem
bers of the Senate and Corps Legislatif
will go thither. The right wing of the
French army has already taken that di-
rection.
Austria has concurred in the declaration
of neutrality as proposed by England,
and has already accepted.
The Russian Minister has returned to
st. Petersburg from q visit to Vienna.
The object of his visit was to express, on
the part of Russia, strong desire to i'm
prove their relations with Austria. Aus
tria reciprocates and is anxiCus to cOntri-
butte to its ful6llment.

TUREs PARIs-AN EASY TAsKl
LONDON, August N.-0n Thursday eve
ming the headquarters of the Prussisn
army were at Bar le Due. The advance
had reached a point about midway be-
tween Chslons aud Epernay. The march
on Paris was to be conducted leisurely by
the Prussians, as no further opposition
was anticipated.
There is authority for saying that the
fortifications of Paris, unless manned by
at least 500 900 men, are worthless.
According TO French reports, Longeyille
Is so filed with Prussian wounded that
three thousand are left unsheltered in the
streets.
Count Bismarck's 3 son is more seriously
wounded than was at first reported. He
has been sent home to Mannheim. lH
Battaiie, the French General who was
wounded, is recovering rapidly.
General LeGrandS, who was killed st
Gravelotte, left eleven daughters, for
whom q national subscription has been
started.
HONORABLE DEEDS,
LONDON, August ga movement in
aid of the French and German wounded
has become universal in England.

NEAR BYHALIA, MISS.
AuRUst %. 1870.

August 20, 1870. J
Editors AppeGL-Yesterday was a dsy
that will long be remembered with emo
tions of pleasure by those who attended
the grand barbecue and bran dance given
by the big-hearted citizens of Holly Bend
neighborhood. Holly Bend is beautifully
situated, and a more lovely spot for a
dance and barbecue than that chosen is
nowhere TO be found. It is surrounded
by the beautiful evergreen holly trees
and majestic oaks, whose umbraReous
arms spread out and effectualIy ward of
the scorching beams of an August sun.
Near by are two bold springs, whose
sparkling waters are pure, cold and grate-
full to the taste; and on the north quietly
flows the little river Cold Water. The
sun rose from his golden bed" with un-
wonted brilliancy, the sky was not iecked
by q single cloud, and the day promised
70 be all that the heart could desire. AT
svery early hour Holly Bend was teem-
ing with the beauty, ehivalry and intel
iect Of abe surrounding country.
Al 8 O'Clock am the musicians
arrived, and In few minutes
many couples were gracefully moving
70 the sound Of animating music. Among
the ladies present, I noticed Miss A., oSe
Of Arkansas most charmingly beautiful
gifted and graceful daughters. The two
fascinating Misses S. e from the city OF

dispensers of much enjoyment and feliei-
", and q host of others, whose intelli-
gence, wit, and personal charms. lent
much enehsntment TO the joyous occa-
sion. At O'Clock pm. the dinner was
announced, and snch 3 magnificent din
ner a. It was, it's not often my good for
tune 10 enjoy. The table gnoaned be-
meath B variety Of luxurious edibles
which we're well cooked, and seasoned to
suit the taste Of even the most fastidious.
After some eighteen hundred persons
had dined heartily, there was enough left
10 satisfy the appetites of several huG-
dred more. After the ladies and gentle
men had dined, they repaired to the in
giting shade OF the entwining trees, and
resumed their fascinating qnadrilles,
which was kept up until the sun began
70 sink behind the trees, when all went
away delighted and happy. Much credit,
and many thanks are due the gentleman
ly managers, Messrs. f. r. Reynolds,
l.. Shinault, and others for their unre-
mitting attention to the guests, etc.

The Pilot, of Tuesday, says it Is the gen.
eral impression that the bill which was
introduced into the Legislature, giving
the laborer on plantations a lien on the
crop, passed and became law. Such
however, is not the case, aRd merchants
and govern themselves accordingly. We
are In favor of the bill, and think 1t q
pity that it did not pass. But CONNER
cial transactions based upon law, which
has no existence, may work an injury
TO all parties concerned. We gave a
synopsis of the bill while pending be-
fore the Legislature, but never published
1t as having passed and become law.
And since 1t has come to.our knowledge
that men are doing business under the
supposed law, we have thought it proper
to correct the misunderstanding.

FRANCE DENoUNCEs BIsMARCK's sHREwD-
NESS AS MATCHLEss KEAYERY.
PARIS, August 27.-Palaiko, in the
| Chamber yesterday, broke out into bit
| ter denuncialion of Prussisn spies, saying
| they abounded in Paris. He pointed to
| the recent judgments of the Council of
| War as proof. He had further evidence
which he could show the members.
The PdtTie semi-officially states that it
| has information concerning the violation
/ of the territory of Belgium; that the
| Prussian wounded at Saarbruck and Saar
Louis were so numerous and so disastrous
! was the situation that the Prussian author
| tiles were ferced to send them to Cologne
and Dusseldorf; but, owing to the fact
| that the armies needed the railway clear
| for reinforcements and provisions, the
wounded were conveyed through Belgium
| and LuXemburg without Notifying those
| Governments until the wounded were
under way. They could not then be sent
| back. Count Bismarck, when questioned
| on the subject, acknowledged the infrsc-
tion of neutrality, but said he was forced
| so to act. France, says the PdtTie, sc-
