IT is believed among the better in
formed that soon after the meeting of
Congress Secretary Fish will retire from
the state department, and the indica-
tions ar" that Hon. Ben. Butler will be
his successor. 1T is determined to force
the Alabama claims with diplomatic
inSolCncc, so as to humble the British
Government if submitted to, or if not
to fetch on II war. With view to this
end Ben. Butler is to be Secretary OF
State, and Gen. Schcnck Minister tC
England. Mr.. Fish has intimatcd that
the pressure from New York in favol
Of peace would be too much for him
and il becomes necessary to have II Dol
der and moro Independent man in hi
place.

I The New York Times has this para
graph: r-
"Among our European mail news viii
be found statement, from French
source, charging Prussia with reviYing
the use of that most barbarous of all
known missiles-the explosive ball. 1t
may be remembered that at the conven-
ton held last year at st. Petersburg, for
the purpose of taking measures to allevi-
ate the horrors of war, the governments
of both France and Prussia gave their
adhesion to a resolution whereby the use
of explosive balls was expressly disal-
lowed in warfare. But it appears that the
Grand Duchy of Baden refused to sign this
article of the Convention, and its soldiers
being now in the field with Prussia, and
in possession of the missiles in question,
France has been compelled to resort, in
her turn, to their manufacture, and the
CHASTITY catalogue of slaughter is, there
fore, in fair way to be largely increased.

like that of pistol. They were fired
from riied muskets of s. large calibre,
which our men, for want of better
