of Bonaparte is not among them.
The UnenViabIe Attitude OF England
BERLIN, Sept. 27.-Capt. Johnston,
bearer of dispatch for the British Gov
eminent, was recently roughly handled
near Paris by the Prussisns, and subse-
quently by the French, under the belief
that being an Englishman he must be a

BERLIN, Sept 27.-The Press in repel-

msnder, has persisted in declining to

Napoleon Consulting with Bazaine
About the Terms of Peace.
BERLIN, Sept. 27.-Special to-the Tele-
gram-A report is current in this city in
well informed circles that the Emperor
has revoked the decree which he issued on
the surrender of Sedan for the revocation
of the decree creating the regency. As
Emperor he has therefore sent an envoy
Metz to consult Marshal Bazaine in regard
to the terms of peace.
This confirms the statement made by
Bazaine that he should only treat with the
Emperor in reference to peace negotia-
tions. The news of this attitude of Ma
poleon has been suppressed in Berlin as
far as possible:
There is the greatset anxiety in political
circles in as much as there is strong and
influential party here who are opposed to
a continuance of the war.
No Government I'm Paris.
BERLIN, Sept. 27.-The foreign office
has advised German representatives
abroad, as well as the Diplomatic Corps
in Berlin, that no government exists at
Paris. The Government de factO is still
located at Tours. Hence Paris is left to
pure military treatment.

the Kings headquarters, at Ferries near

was considered preliminary TO any dis
cussion of territorial cessiOn. Bismarck
actually declined to state the claims of
Prussia till the basis for an armistice was
decided On.
A Protest from the German DeEnOc.
racy-PrOgress of German Unity.
BERLIN, Sept. 27.-Special to the

protest has been sent to Bismarck de-
nouncing the maintenance of military law

ceased il the Northern States, and that
Falkenstein be held responsible for excess
of duty. asF-Er. L

Death OF C. w. Hummer.

We are deeply panied at announcing the
the death of Charles w. Hummer who was
found dead in his bed at an early hour yes
terday morning in his room on North Sum-
mer street. The suddenness of the shock
is mournfully startling to his many friends,
who only the day previous were with him
in the daily intercourse of business and
social life. On Monday he was in his
store on South College street, and though
he was suffering from an attack of fux no
one thought his symptoms dangerous or
even serious. We understand that he was
also subject to attacks of heart disease
On Monday evening he went to his room
and retired near the usual hour. We learn
that in the night near IL o'clock he was
heard to raise the window. Next morning
he was found dead with no signs of vio-
lence or paroxysms. A coroner's inquest was
held and verdict returned that he came
to his death from causes unknown to the
jury. Mr.. Hummer was devoted to his
business, and an energetic, courteous gem
tleman. He was at the time of his death
Treasurer of the Blood Horse Association.
His death will be deplored by large cir
Gle of friends who knew and appreciated
his worth

Hon. Gus. A Henry.

The whole people of Tennessee will be
rejoiced to learn that this distinguished
citizen of our State has sufficiently recov-
cred from his recent dangerous illness to
enable him to visit Nashville. Although
not in the same full physical yigor which
he possessed in the rencounter between
Johnson and Henry, he is a man whose
like you will not soon look upon again, and
is still worthy to be pointed to as the eagle
orator of Tennessee His estimsble lady is
with him. He is also accompanied by Col
Elder and lady from GAINESVILLE. They are
at the Maxwell House, and will remain a
few days. May he long live to illustrate
the chivalry and eloquence of the past.

THE FLOATER FROM THIS DIS
TRICT.

To the Editors of the Union aud American:
SPRINGFIELD, Tenn Sept. 81, 1870.-As
the time is near at hand when aconvention
to nominate a candidate for Floater is to
meet at this place, we hope that it will not
be considered inappropriate for us to men,
ton the claims of Clay Roberts, Esq,
whose name will be proposed for the nom
ination Born in Davidson, raised in
Robertson, and having lived (since his re-
turn from the Confederate army, in Mont
eomery, he is decidedly the man for the
man for the place. He IL thoroughly IA
miliar with the wants of the people of the
whole district An active, energetic, thor
ouph-going man, thoroughly familiar with
the routine of Legislative business, and a
GOOD debater. he is Just such man as
we will want to meet the Radical candidate
during the coming canvass.
Besides the peculiar fitness of MIR. Roberts
for This position, there is no man in the
State who has done as much gratuitous
work for the Democratic party.
Let Davidson county come to the Con-
vention a unit for Mr.. Roberts, and his
nomination will be secured. We regret to
saw that our county and Cheatham are
split. as it has been known but few days
that his name would be before the Con
vention. With many wishes for the good
health. happiness and success OF our gal
liant standard-bearer, Gen. John @. Brown,
we are, DEMooAA1s'

Inquest oua Dead Child

On Monday evening, near six o'clock,
as Thomas Chiffon was building stone
foundation for stable on the premises OF
citizen living short distance from the
city, while removing some rock from a
stone fence close by, his pick came in con-
tact with soft substance. On removing
it from its place of secretion, he discovered
it to be a dead colored infant 1t was
wrapped in light cloak, had been depos-
tied there for some days, as it was consid-
erably decomposed. A coroner's inquest
was held yesterday evening, but no
light thrown upon the identity of the
child, or as TO the cause of its death.

fusiDg, Bismarck consulted the King, who
insisted on the surrender of Strasbourg.
Wearied with his useless efforts, Favre
retired, expressing the conviction that
France would fight to the last.
Favre concludes frcm the manner in
which all his efforts for peace have been
met by the Germans that they are deter
mined on conquest. He says the inter
views were not altogether useless, as they
have proved that Notwithstanding Prus-
STA declared that she warred only against
Napoleon and his army she is really
fighting the nation, which must arise en-
masse either to disavow universal gov
eminent or resist the enemy to the last.
