From France.

1t was telegraphed all over the country on
Thursday night last that Paris had been sur
rendered-that the terms of surrender had
been signed by Jules Favre on the part of Par
is, and Count Bismarck on the part of the
German Empire. On that night, we received
a special dispatch of that character, which we
issued in the form of an Extra, and distributed
in town on Friday morning This news has
not been confirmed by later intelligence. A
conference between these parties took place at
Versailles on Monday, but did not result in the
surrender of Paris as reported. Jules Favre
was only authorized to surrender-which he
proposed to do-the army defending Paris,
whose Committee of Defence he represented.
Bismarck insisted that the surrender should be
signed by the whole of the Provisional Govern
ment, and told Favre that he might choose be-
tween acceptance of the terms proposed and
the restoration of the Empire.
The report that there was ID understanding
between Napoleon and Eugene and Bismarck
is pronounced to be unfounded. The Empress
herself explicitly denies that she signed the
oSACCuCHt WHkCn Dlct1dICk C1dluio w Ads
She is said to be much depressed and distress
ed by the accounts from Paris.
A recent letter from Wilhemshohe reports
Napoleon as having said ct would be quite
as well if it were publicly understood that
never intend to remount the throne on thu
strength of a military pronunciamento, by tht
aid OF the soldiery just as little as by that O
Prussia. [ am the sole sovereign who governs
next by the grace of God, by the will Of tht
people, and shall never be unfaithful to ths
people, and [ shall never be unfaithful to the
origin of either The whole people which has
four times approved of my election, must recall
me by its deliberate votes, else [ shall never
return to France. The army possesses no more
right to place me On the throne than had ths
lawyers and loafers to push me from it, Tn,
French people, whose sovereign I am, have
the sole decision"

Railroad Bill Adopted.

The bill authorizing the County Court Of
Augusta to make an order submitting to- the
legal voters of the county, the question Of sub
scribing, by one joint vote, not less than $780,
900 to the stock Of the Valley Railroad Com
pany, and not less than 100000 to the stock
Of the Shenandoah Valley Railroad Compa-
ny, having, since cur last issue, passed both
Houses Of the Legislature, and been approved
and signed by the Governor, is now a law ia
full force and virtue Al 6
1t only remains now for the Court to make
the order submitting the question to the legal
voters Of the county, and fer the voters to de-
termine at the polls whether or not the propos-
ed subscriptions shall be made This is an i'm
portant question, and, in arriving at their con-
illusions in reference to their action upon it,
the voters should be governed By the deduc-
tons of calm reason and the results of careful
calculation. 1t is not a question to be deter
mined By excited passions and unreasoning pre-
JUDGES. The future as well as the present
should be properly considered. Momentous
interests are at stake. We would earnestly
admonish the people of the county-the town
has no voice in the matter-to consider the
question calmly, in its heigth, breadth, and
depth, and to determine their action ia accord
ance with the dictates of reason and of eulight-
eaed selfinterest.

SURRENDER OF PARIS
WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 80, Is

WASHINGTON, d. O., Jan. 80, 1871.
The State Department has official confirmation
of the surrender of Paris
Bismarck, on the Oath, visited Jules Favre
who had come to Versailles. An hour afterward
council of war was held, at which Emperor
William, the Grown Prince, Generals Moltke
Bayen and Won Room, and Count Bismarck
were present. Bismarck carried his point.
The capitulation involves peace-the cession
of Alsace and German Lorraine, part of the
Fleet, and money indemnity, to be guaranteed
by the municipalities. A portion of the Ger
man army is to return home, and the war is to
cease. Paris is to pay two hundred million
francs.
Bismarck, in abiding to the reported negotia-
tions between Napoleon and the Prussian Gov
eminent, says the Emperor refers everything to
the Regency
Bismarck denies that he has ever negotiated
for the restoration of the Bonapartes or that he
intends to interfere in the domestic concerns OF
France. 81
King William sent the following dispatch to
Queen Augusta:
''VEEs A1LLEs, Sunday, 2 P. N.
Last night an armstice for three weeks was
signed. The Regulars and Mobiles are to be re-
tanned in Paris as prisoners of war The Ma
tional Guard will undertake the maintenance OF
order. We occupy all the forts and Paris re-
mains invested but will be allowed to re-victual
as soon as the armies are surrendered. The Ma
tlonal Assembly is to be summoned to meet al
Bordeaux IN fortnight. All the armies in the
field will retain their respective positions The
ground between the opposing lines will be neu-
trail. WILLIAM
The German troops occupied the forts around
Paris at ten o'clock, Saturday morning. The
entire garrison of Paris, except the National
Guard, surrender their arms The arm1stice ex-
pires on the 10Th proximo.
Bourbaki attempted to kill himself after the
defeat at Belfort, and his life is despaired Of
Eugene denies that intrigues are going on be-
tween Bismarck and the Bonapartists for the
restoration of the latter.
The capitulation and armistice settle nothing
politically, nor do they assure the end of the
war. All depends upon the Assembly.
