Every Man for the Country.

The Berlin correspondent of tine New York
Herald, writes on the 9Th instant:
The very clever Cabinet action of Bismarck
In securing Austria's good wishes and feeling
towards the North German Confederation BY
the transmission of his late dispatch to Baron
Beust, tho premier OF the empire, In Vienna,
followed by the important step which has just
been taken by the three South German States
towards confederation, has created most
agreeable surprise in the diplomatic world OF
Germany. Itproduces voluntary discontin-
uance Of their several legations In Vienna,
which they were not obliged to withdraw un-
der the new order Of affairs produced by the
war.
1t is even now hoped by the Prussian Gov
ernment that SaXony, which has still sepa-
rate representative at the courts OF London,
Brussels, Vienna and Florence, Will follow the
example OF the Bavarians and others, and con-
solidate. This was grand point for the con-
sidcration Of the authorities having to decide
on the future organization OF tile conquered
provinces. It was difficulty even. and pre-
senling itself aS such previous to the termlna-
ton of the war, its adjustment was attempted
before by temporary official arrangements.
This difficulty no longer continues. IL mas
been changed at once into link OF The bond
for The perinanency OF the national institutions.
THE CONQUEsrs FROM fRANCE-PUTuRE RULE
IN TIE PROVINCES.
Although the matter Is kept secret by the
Prussian authorities, 1t Is known here that GER
tain conferences which have been held at
Versailles aim at eflecting a solution OF The
territorial question Of the future OF the French
territory of Asace and Lorraine, by which it
shall become distinct land fef under the i'm
perial government OF the German empire, the
Governor having his residence in Stras5ours
and exercising all The rights OF the crown by
means Of his own executive authority ana
through Cabinet appointed by the emperor
of Germany The federated territoryis TO have
its own systems OF finance, taxation and legal
administration, and enter ut once as u member
OF The German ZUllverein. Alter three years
from the close OF the war the people OF the
federated territory may elect parliamentary
representatives to the North German Reich
stag; the federated territory to remain the
Joint property Of the realm OF Germany, but
be placed under the more immediate juriS-
diction OF the Bund Council and Reichstag.
REISFoECEMENTs FOR THE ARMY.
The enrolment of troops to reinforce the
Prussian armies is the "Order OF the day." as l
NAV call it, in Berlin. Prussia has heretofore
furnished the greater portion Of all the new
leyies orlhe empire, and does so still. Crowds
of raw recruits and soldiers of the reserves are
marched daily through the public avenues and
great thoroughares OF the city. They are
for the field. They are universally pitied by
the lookcrs-on and rnourned by their remain
Ing relatives and friends No doubt is enter
tained but that very many Of these poor
fellows will be froslbitten before they reach
their destination.
Bavaria is Just now forming six new land
wehr battalions. Wurtemberg lags behind in
the duty OF furnishing her quota. The burden
of replenishng the united army of Germany
falls very heavily on Prussia. In the more an
clenL provinces Of Prussia citizens OF all ranks,
classes and occupations of lite, who never ex-
pected 10 serve in the army, have been ordered
out. Among others who have been served
with the army warrant of conscription are
| President Won Wurmi, chief Of police, and
Baron von Huelson, director Of the royal thea
| tres,
