Prussian foney. ADDRESS OF COUNT BISXAHK ON THE g POLICY OF PRUSSIA. At a sitting of the Committee of the - Lower House upon the address, held on the 17th ultimo, Count Bismark gave the following explanations as'to the poli cy- iii'ended to be pursured by Prus 8ia : Little difference exists between the authors of the various drafts of address, or between the (Government. and the Chambers, as to the object to.which the policy of Ge'rmany-ought to be directed. The question is onlyto discover by what methods that object shall be ' autained. Government has been forced to confine itself within the limits of possibility-i.e. of what can be realized without enor mous sacrifices and without compromis ing the future. We should have run this risk if we had crossed the limits we have marked out for our policy. We must keep theongagements we have contracted in this respect, and above all create confidence in bur word. But we do not think it would have been use 1 ful at. present to go further.. The Prus sian Government is suafficiently animated by atrong.ambition to render it advisa ble to moderate rather than stimulate it. According to- the peace preliminaries, the North Germans will nave the charge of regulating the national relations of the Southern Confederation. To carry out this task we shall have to examine whether the want of this organisation is felt m'ore strongly by the population of South.Germnany than by their Gov ernments, as it now happens that we see Prussian soldiers who pass beyom) the line of demarkation exposed to the pop Sular animosity. It is for us next to ima p art solid foundations to the new union. Ibelieve that in trying to extend them too far their solidity would be diminish Sed. W'e could not, for iinstanqe, submit a State like Bavarja to such donditions as.we intend now to impose upon cer.. :tain States of the North. Let "e try first .to establish a powerful Prussia, a pow. erful crown domain of the directing State. The .ie of- a close union by which we mean to form Northern (hr anu will not be so atrong a* an an in. 1corporation. Nevertheless, 'there .are only two or three modes'to prevent al lied races constrained by their - govern snents turning their arm. 'against us. The first of these is inoopo 'ton and e'omplete fusion of the ' waIoi rpsia, and in esp.ci4f gae' fonctionaries who will remain attached to the -old Governments. The Govern. ment does not consider that it onght to surmount these difficulties at a single leap, as is the custom of the Latin peo. ple; but it will proceed, in the 'German manner, by humoring the institutions kd these populations, and accustoming.ttiem gradually to their new situation. 'The second course is the partition of the rights of sovereignity, t. e., the establish ment of a military sovereign and a civil. sovereign. Compelled by circumstancos we must endeavor to apply this system in Saxony. I had at one time a rnarked preference for this method, but after the the improssions I have oreceived from the reorganization ofSchleswig-Holstejn, I am afraid such a system would be. come a source of collisions which might lead to a coolness of the annexed coun. tries towards their new masters. In reference to this point Lhavo been met with the remark, "We don't wish to be come second glass Prussians."' But in. dependently of these impreqsions, this system possesses the inconvenience, that one of the two masters, the military sovereign who is'a foreigner, always comes forward with distastoful require ments, while all the beneficent influence of civil action remain in the hands of the old sovereign. I regret, as I have said, that we are conpelled to make this ex periment in Saxoily. We did not wish to make a much diminished Hanover and Saxony. Lastly, the third method would be to divide the territories as they have been hitherto composed. We did wish to make a much diminished Hano. ver and Saxony. We made unpleasant experiences with the system in Saxony in 1815. The portiond of that country which were then given to Prussia have been completely fused in her, but in the portion that has presqrv.ed its anitorny. a frank~avrsion is retained towards Prussia. For this reason we have now completely departed from this system, which was suggested, to us; we have placed the interests of the populations abQve'the interests of the dynasties. It 'is true that this course perhaps produces the impression of injustice, but the sci. ence of politics has not the mission of Nemesis. Vengeance does not apper. tam to us. We must do what is a ne. cessity for the Prussian State, and must consequently not allow ourselves to be guided by any dynastic sympathy. Poo ple have already learned to appreciate us even in those very countries. Han. overians have already said to me : "Pre serve our dynasty for us; but if that is not possible, then try at least not to par celout our territory, but take it entire." As regards our allies, they, have only been few in numbers, or weak; but du. ty, no less than prudence, ordains that we should keep our word. -even to the smallest among them. The less hesita. tion Preusia shows in sweeping her enemies from the map the more is she bound strictly to keep her ,word with her friends. It is precisely in Southern Germany that. faith in our political loy. alty will have great weight. As for the Constitution of the Empire of 1849, it w'll only be one of the forms through which 'the problem I have just pointed out will find its solution. I adniit that in theory that Constitution proceeds with mor strictno and consistency than our scheme, the union, because it makes, so to speak, of the different sov ereigns the subjects,.the vassals of the future Emperor of Germany; but these sovereigns will be more disposed.to con. cede right, to an aly, a functionary of the union, than to an Emperor.and Suze rain.

[Derisive laughter, and shouts of "Throw it a*ay."] This is the gavel which. 'called together that Convention which declared the -Anteri can Union dissolVed. [Cries of "Break it tip," "Throw it down' here," &c.1 Sir, turning to Governor,'Hanilton, I have the pleasure of tendering it to you for the purpose of,calling together that loyal Convention which, is to lay the foundation for the re-estahlishment of that Union. Governor Ramilton ac ceptel the gift, and thdn the ceremonies were declared ended. , The statement abotit the identity of the gavel is a asheer fabricstion. The Philistines did not possess themselvesof this souvenir. The gavel tised by that Convention, us well as the President's ehair and table, are now in thbis city. At the adjournment' of thb. assemblage those relics were presented by the Con. vention to the St. Andrews Society, who had tendered the free uso of their building, and are now in the possession of the Secretary.

LOST DY NOT TAKING A COUNTY PAPEn.-Generally . peakng but little importance is attach. .to the taking of a country newspaper. This neglect and indifference had its practical reward the other day. Some time ago a gentleman. it this. town was appointed an auditor to distri. bute the funds in the hands'of an adminA istrator amongst the creditors.. No. tice Of the auditor was published in two of the county papers. It so happened that a few creditors residing in a certain portion of the coi-i ty who had collectively claims to the amountofseven or eight hundred dol. lars, from the neglect of-taking a county paper never heard of the audit until after. the report of the auditqr had been confirmed -by tho' court. They then. came into town to enquire about the likelihood of securing their claims ; call. ed upon an attorney who examined into the matter, and informed them that they had forever. lost their money, and we 'presume -charged them five dollars for the information' All this resulted from being too penurious or too careless to subscribe for a county paper. These gentlemen have learned a les son that will last them' the balauce'of. their lives, and as,a warning to others who from the same motives fail to take their county paper. There is,scarcely a man'in the com. minity who will not he caught up some day pn a legal notice, b'ut that does not take a paper, unless he d1a4eitinely reads his neighbor's, an4. every gentle man should be above literary.-ilring like this, so says an exchapge.

Geo. W. Morgan, a soldier of the war, who is running as a Delferatio candidate for Congress in the Coshodtdn district, against Colum. -bus Delano, receitly. made the follow ing statemennt in a speech there: * * * The people of the South have extended,to the people of the West and Noith the hand of reconcil ,iation. To sustain what I say I could narrate many facts, but will mention but one. In order to secure a suitable cemo tory for our gallant soldidrs who fell upon the plains of Alabama, the au thorities of the United Stats desired to purchase three acres boautifull 10 cated within the corporate limits of tho city of Mobile. The tract was valuable, but the purpose was sacred to which it was to be dedicated. It was proposed to make three acres the honored home of the Union dead, and there, within the corporate limits of Mobile, to erect a monument to. com memorate,tkeir deeds. But the au thorities of Mobile refused to sell. What I refuse to sell sufficient ground to contain the- bones of our absent ones-our fathers, brothers, sons ? Yes, my cohntrymen, these Southern men did refuse to sell sufficient ground on which to bury our heroic dead but with a magnanimity only equalled by their courage, those Southern men did by free gift convey those three acres to the United States ! And the hand of the Mayor of Mobile-the hand which signed that deed of gift had, duting our unhappy war, wield ed the sword of a Confederate Gener . [Applause.] Tun MANNERS Mr NAPOLEON AND EUGENIE.-The - Ampress is impulsive,.. very kind, and has a smile that would be really sweet and charming in any woman, and that, naturally, loses none of its charm by showing itself in the face of an Empress to a world still weakly partial to "uIajeaty." The charm of the Emperor's smile is in its way, just as effective, its power being often acknowledged even by those who detest bim most cordially, A in the case of M.Provost Paradol, 060 V! his bit tetest political oppnents, who, having been re::eived by the Empkror, as is the custom here, after his recent reception in.o the academy, on which occasibn he had crammed his discourse with ingeni ously yet transparently covered allusions to the emperor of the most bitingly ma-' licions character, and being mentioned shortly afterward by a friend as to the impression made upon him by the inter. view, could. not avoid expressing his sense of the charm of the emperor's manner, and added, quoting a well known French proverb, "The fact it, mn cher, that in order thoroughly to hate people, one shoold not - see them tuo neat." KILLI.a Ov A DESPERATE OfiARAC fan.-A Louisville dispatch of yester day says : "An affair o- urred in Davies county, Kentucky, on Saturday, which resulted in the killing of a notorious individual, named 1etcalf, who was a dA4perate nian, tnd kept the country in fear, went to the rtsidenoe of a returned rebel soldier,.in Madisonville, some time ago, and murdered him by shooting him through the window. The man's name was John Chandler, and he was blind, having fost hts sight in the army. Met calif was tried and convicted for murder and byv giving bail, or by some means, he was at large. On Sqturday, the sheriffrof the county, Mr. Tom Grinnell, went to arrest Metcalf.

Scene at the counting room of a morn ing newspaper. Ent6r a man of Teu. tonic tendencies considerable the worse fr last night's spree. Twiton--(To the man at the desk) "If you blease, sir, I varts de , paper mit dis mornings. One vat hash de names of do beebles vot kills cholera all do vile." le was han&d a l per, and after look ing it over in a confused way he said: aWill you pe so gont as to read do names what don't have do cholera any more too soonlust now, and se if Carl Geinsenkoopenoffien hash got em? " The clerk very obligingly read the list, the ''enton listening with trembling attention, wiping the perspiration fron his blo* meanwhile, in great excite. mefit. Wheni the list was completed, the name of Carl'Geinsen- , well, no matter about thie whole name, it wasn't there. The .Tenton'i face bright ened up, and lie exclaimed "You don't, flid 'et ?" Clerk---"No such name tlee, sir," * - Teuton-(Seiing him warimly by the hand)-This is nice-this is some a fnns ; that ish my names. I pin drunk ash never vas, and, py dam, I vas fraid { I vas gone ted mit cholera, and didn't know it. Mine Cot 'I ias scart." BAkTNG OUT.-Napoleon Ill. is il. lustrating the prudent qualities of a pre. decessor on the throne of France, .who, "With forty thousand men Marched up the hill and then marched down again." Ilia first advance *as.on Mexico, when, through, Maximillian, he niarch ed up to the city of the Aztecs, and i,4 now said to have his baggage chtcked for a refurn trip. He then nmade a for ward movement in the . dir c'ion r Venetia, and soon determined that Ve; netia wasn't much of a prize aier l, and abandoned it. He then modestly suggests that lie would like to have a chance to replendish his wine-cellar from the viiieyards along the Rhine. Prussia objects, and Nap.oleon is ready to tako an affidavit that he never said a word about the Rhinio, and is perfectly satisfi. ed to leave things as they are. This wiring in and wiring out by Napoleon has excited great surprise, and leaves the impression that lie is losing the dicisive and progressive quali ties which have marked the Napoleonic character. .7.. A Noxtro'tc AFitii.-The *Mont gomery and Atlanta papers have had accounts of rather a romantic elopement, case, which occurred from Schma a few days ago. The pair, consisting of a gay and festive Yanikeq Sergeant, aml a very young girl-daughter of a highly respectable family in Selnma-went to Montgomery for the pnrpose of realiz ing the consummation of thieir hopes, but were so closely pursued as to render it impracticable to be married there, and they pushed on to find their Gretria Green on the soil of Georgia. Reachb ing Atlanta, -the villainous telegraph had been too fast for them, and instead. of fallihg into the. tendWe embraces of hymen, they became' viptims to the rong1r meshes of the law. They ,were takedl to the Planter's Hotel, and held in durance for three or - four day, until the young lady's father arrived, when' she consented to return' to her hoine and the "bould eoger boy" was turned over to the military to answer the charge of desertion. Verily "the course of true love does not run smooth." Burns, going into church on Stinday, and fliding it difficult to procure a seat, was, kindly invited~ by a young lady into her pew. The sermorr being upon the terrors gf the law, and the preache9 being i articularly severe in his denun oiation'of sinners, the lady, who was very attentive, became much agitated. Burns,-otn perceiving it, wrote with his pncil on a blank leaf of her Bible the' lair nimid, younos net take the' hinttj, Net file texts pu sue i 'Twas only sinners that he uieatt ' Not smg.ts buoh'as you."
