Oct. I.tb:-"I had an opportunity to-day to
hear Bismarck's opinion regarding the political
and military situation. He declared that the
hour of the declaration Of war by France to the
present Compelled unwillingiy TO draw the
sword, he declared they would never sheathe 1t
until Germany was safe from future cruel as
saults prompted by the ambition Of he- uuprin-
cipled neighbor. He makes the same declaration
now. Confident in the justice OF our cause
