s of the army, and prepare the privates for the work which must soon follow, informing them that I consider myself entitled to unconditional discipline. However, if you remember that you are Prussians, you will certainly make yourself worthy of this preference; if there should be one amongst you who fears to divide with me all the danger, he can obtain his dismission to- day, and without receiving from me the least reproach. ['We follow your Majesty unto death! Our all and our blood for our King!' called out loud the officers, and the King proceeded.] "Before now I was convinced that none of you would forsake me. I count, therefore, totally on your faithful assistance and on the certain victory. Should I fall, and not be able to reward you, our fatherland must do it. Go now into the camp, and repeat to your battalions what I have said. 'If any regiment of horse should not fall upon the enemy at once, as ordered, they shall, after the battle, dismount, and be put into the garris

derate capital. Courtesies are extended to him, and at length our President consented to send three of our most eminent men in a steamer, as they thought, (To the Chairman — Didn't you ?) to Washington. [Great laughter.] We had already heard on the streets of the fine dinners Stephens, Hunter and Campbell were getting in Washington, when, lo and behold, it turned out that they had stuck in Hampton Roads. As they were on their way, the whole Yankee nation rose to meet them. They sent their King from his throne, and their Prime Minister from his closet. The King came to greet his friends, [turning to the chairman, Mr. Hunter,] of whom, I suppose, he "had heard tell of before." The Prime Minister came to repress any imprudence on the part of his master and curb his "little jokes. " Was not this a climax worthy of the Yankee nation? At last the curtain was raised and no duck or dinner. [Laughter.] There stands Lincoln, with Seward an inch behind him, bowing out our commissioners and

The general impression, however, was that they would make an effort to gain the road some time during the night. Up to a late hour the wires were working through to Augusta, and communication remained unbroken. "Heavy cannonading was reported by passengers to have been heard all day in the direction of Bamberg. A number of prisoners were brought in Saturday and Sunday. They report that Sherman would make an attempt to cut the road at Midway. Passengers to Augusta report that Sherman was advancing on Branchville in two columns, with about forty thousand men. "One transport and four of the enemy's barges landed a number of troops on Little Britain, and about two hundred men at Secret Post. About half-past 2 o'clock P. M. they advanced to King's creek, and, after skirmishing a short time retired. Our picket line was re-established."

"No wonder," it exclaims, "the President was lifted above the level on which political rulers usually stand, and felt himself in the very presence of anized at Albany, alone — and hurled his anathemas solely against the New York Common Council--because that is Democratic! Why should he not "deal damnation through the land against all he deems his foes, " as well as the "Prophet, Priest and King," whose name he upholds? The State of Affairs in Missouri. Military matters in this State are quiet. The organization of new companies throughout the interior is progressing finely. General Ewing has telegraphed the Governor that Presi

New York, and one to the buoy on the bar, on Saturday, making a speed of about fourteen and a half miles per hour. This vessel is a sister ship to the Niagara, and is of the following dimensions: Length, two hundred and thirty feet; beam, thirty-nine feet; depth of hold, fifteen feet; and measures about one thousand two hundred tons. The engine has a sixty-inch cylinder, with eleven feet stroke of piston. She has all the modern appliances for the prevention and suppression of fire, and is well found in life-saving apparatus. The Saratoga is a model boat in every respect, and our coast fleet has received a fine acquisition in these two vessels. The hulls are superior in finish and strength, while the engines are unequalled in beauty of finish and accuracy of motion. The Saratoga sails on her trial trip to Richmond on Wednesday, 20th. She is commanded by Captain King, well known in the trade, and highly esteemed for his many good qualities. So we learn from the New York Times.

The revolution of 1880 extended from Paris to Brussels — the Belgians shook off the yoke of the Prince of Orange and separated from Holland. After a war of short duration, between France and Belgium on one side, and Holland on the other, the separation was confirmed.--The Belgians chose Leopold, who had married a daughter of Louis Phillippe, King of the French, for their King, and their choice was confirmed by France and England. From that time until his death, Leopold has been King of Belgium, or rather, we believe, King of the Belgians. It is conceded on all hands that Leopold governed his little kingdom with consummate wisdom. It was, at the time of his death, the finest and most flourishing country on the face of the earth. It is a little remarkable that he obtained it at the expense of the Prince of Orange, whom he had already "cut out" of his mistres
