the German press, as rule, devotes
less space to it than for some time.
The tone of the comment of the news

is rather more peaceable, and there is
less talk of active hostilities and more
hope expressed of an unarmed settle

Many distinguished eX-confederates

during the war as the "White house of

the city for $4,000, and was offered to
Mr., Davis as a gift. Mr.. Davis declined

spyglass used by General Beauregard
at the battle OF Manassas, and the col

homes throughout the south including
the Lee Camp Soldiers Home collec-

very many rare and interesting relics
the skin of StOneWalI JacksOn's charger
There are also many manuscripts and
private papers. A room will be allotted
to each state that belonged to the con-
