PruSSiasS Terms.

LONDON, August % The following state.
ment from semi official source foreshadows
the demand likely to be made by Prussia in
csse of successful termination of the war:
The time has arrived when Germany must
be freed from French interference and mcnaces
and have long period of unbroken peace. A
mere change OF dy1asties IN France would not
be sufficient to insure this, for the next Sover-
egn would seek as soon as possible to recover
the lost military prestige Of France, and the
burthens OF armed peace would be perpetuated.
Suppose France should issue from the struggle
with strength unimpaired, and her stronghods
whence she menaces the valley Of the Rhine
and the Palatnate intact, the war from which
the incapacity OF the French Generals and the
bravery of the German army has delivered US
will be renewed. There can be no trustworthy
peace. Not thus must this costly struggle Ter
inmate. We will only resign our arms when
we have guaranteed security against fresh con.
test whenever it may suit the political necessi.
ties of a French ruler to renew it.

INDIGNATION. -WAsHINaToN, Aug. 23.-
The colored people here do not appreciate the
carpet bag system when it is brought closely
homo to them. A short time ago the trustees
of colored schools dismissed the school super
iDtendent, who is native of this city, and en-
ployed in bis stead d man named Cato, from
Philadelphia. This has greatly excited the
colored people, who are holding mass meet
ing tonight, at which they dsnounce the i'm
portation of teachers, when tLey have, as they
thiak, good enough material mere to educate
their youth. They demand change in the
whole system of the management OF the color
ed schools, alleging that they are misrepresent.

PILoTAGE. Some days ago Mr.. Baldwin,
the ViceC Consul OF Brazil, laid before the
Chamber Of Commerce statement showing
that large quantities of -four were being ship
ped from the city via the lower Potomac route
for Baltimore for shipment thence to Rio,
instead of being sent by vessels to that destina-
ton direct from this port, and that this fact
was owing to the pilot and other charges, the
former particularly being so heavy that cap
tains O! vessels refuse to come here.
There is no doubt but it is of much impor.
tsnoe to our city that every inducement should
be held out to vessels to come here. Every
vessel thai comes leaves some m oney, and that
no" mole than ever is desideratum. 1t is
stated that when vessel comes up James
| river In tow of tug she has to pay pilotage to
| a pilot on board her in the tuil amount, al
though the pilot of the tug is the actual guide.

enumeration ofinhabitants Complete returns
from three wards have been received as fol-
