trust, forever exert its influence In
cementing our country together, but our
enthusiastic exuitation must be allayed
with the deep sorrow and mourning, for
the flower Of the youth of Germany has
fallen for the fatbeFland. Many heroic
Leaders of our armies have bought vic

THE PEACE PROPOSITIONS.


New YoaK, September 2S--A special
correspondent in London gives the par
ticulars,of preliminary meeting between
Jules Fayre and Bismarck in the Chateau
of Ferriers. Bismarck received the
French minister with great courtesy, and
opened the subject of peace negotiations
at once No result was reached, but in
course of the discussion Favre asserted
thai the Provisional Governments could
pat Prussia in possession OF such mate
rial guarantees as would make il certain
that she could lose nothing by the effcrt
after peace, even could the Constituent
Assembly reject the tresty that might be
agreed upon. He also declared that the
commanders at Metz and StrasbouTg
would obey any orders his Government
might issue to them.
In London there were some eKpeota-
tions that peace would be concluded On Q
basis of the temporary occupation Of Al
Sace and Lorraine by the Prussians, and
by the surrender of Metz and StrasbourS.
In commercial circles, however, the hope
of peace is nearly abandoned. Prussia
viii insist on terms which no French Gov
ernnent would at present dare accede 70.

The total amount of bonds issued to the

none of the interest has ever been paid.
Much speculation has been indulged as
to whether the delinquent roads will
bring, at public sale, the amount of their
indebtedness. But there seems to be no
Just grounds for any fear on that score, as
the roads in question form some Of our
most important connections, and. under
proper management, will prove Invaluable
70 the purchasers. They ought to sell for
a greater amount than their indebtedness,
when it is considered that bonds are to be
the consideration. We understand that
companies have already purchased very
large number OF Tennessee railroad
bonds, at fifty and sixty cents on tho dol
lar, with a view of buying Tennessee
railroads when offered for sale. Interested
parties can well afford to pay 8, ,OoO, 900
or 81, ,000, 900 for roads, which cost the
State from ga, coo, 900 to SIG, ,000, COO. II is
reported that the Louisville and Nashville
railroad has $S,000,0O0 or 81, 200 000 in

There viii be no difficulty in finding

from Bismarck to the ambassadors Of

Norton. Of Indiana, ls Minister to EnuIand.


NEW YORK, September 23.-The Tn
bune this morning says, editorially, that
Senator Oliver P. Morton, Of Indiana,
was about week ago appointed Minister
to England. He promptly accepted the
appointment, but Requested that the
whole matter should be kept secret until
Governor Baker should have time for con-
sideration and Untrammeled action in the
appointment of his successor. Senator
Morton left the city three days ago to con-
fer with Governor Baker on the subject.
Sufficient time having elapsed for this
purpose, we are at liberty to announce
the appointment and congratulate the
country upon Its character. Although
now broken in constitution by the severi-
ty of his labors in those critical times, he
is intellectually as vigorous as ever.
WAsHINGToN, September 23.-The Pres
ident has rendered the appointment of
Minister to the Court of st. James to
Hon. O.7P. Morton, of Indiana, who has
signihed his acceptance thereof.
