Phil Sheridan authorized TO go as 4
professional spectator merely, but this,

cilable.

Guilty in thirty-siX hours, instead of

Two thousand men are strengthen

which were declared incapable of
resisting a sudden attack a fortnight
ago, are now capable of WithStanding
a long siege, and will furnish base
for offensive operations. The report
that the Pnlssian King will make
Frankfort his headquarters is i'm
probable.

Daily AelcS, partially cOntradicts the
peace rumors he gave yesterday. All
hopes are postponed until after the
battle.
