THB TAU; OF AN OLD PKTJSSIAN AI?MY QFKCEH.-General Herstmier, on ; ?ld Prussian army oiBoer, who is now on a visit to Cincinnati, has been interviewed by a reporter of tho Chronicle of that city, with tho following result: ^Beporter-General, give us your view, SB an old soldier, of the situation of Prussia. 'General H.-I think Prussia to-day is better prepared for war than nuy other nation in Europe. You must remember that every able-bodied mau in tho king? dom is a soldier from twenty to sixty DAILY 'Let our Just Censure ' ': - cl the True Event." BY J. A.. SELBY 00 L UM BI A, ??. C..

Further, they hove bettor guns, which has beou proved in tho war with Austria, and they aro fur superior to the French arms. Tho needle-gun can always be reliod upou. Reporter-Generul, w hat is your opi? nion of the Prussian Generals? General H.-Tho Crown Prince, Prince. Frederick Charles and General Steinmetz aro all Generals that lmvcbeeu tried and found worthy ot tho positions they hold. Tho soldiers under thom have confidence in thom, and know Unit they aro fighting for the safety of their homes. It is not to-duy ns it was in tho limo of the old Napoleon-it is tho reverse. Prussia can, if necessary, in forty-eight hours havo an army of 1,000,000 men ready for service. Besides, tim war is being carried on on French soil; all tho waste and ruinutiou is falliug upon tho French. While tho Prussians are gathering in their harvest that of tho French is going to waste, which is a great loss to France. This is the best HOU in Franco. I havo passed over it many a time. Tho valloys of the Rhino aud Moselle oro widely known for their excellent wines, &c. Reporter-Goneral, arc you a Prussian by birth? General IT.-No, sir; my birth-place is in the former kingdom of llanover; but I entered tho Prussian army as a volunteer, and havo been promoted to the rank of General. I am now ou the retired list; am too old to go into active service, but my heart and soul are with the Prussian army in its glorious march on to Paris. Reporter-General, one more ques? tion; do you think tho French will hold on, or will they make overtures for peace? General H.-I think that France would liko to mako peace, but Prussia will not listen to anything like it. ??ho bas gone forward with tho inteulion to whip tho French for their importiueuco, and she will do it before she returns borne. IMPORTANT AMENDMENT TO THE BANK? RUPTCY LAW.-Tho second clause of tho thirty-second section of tho Bankruptcy Act of 18G7 provided ns follows: ."That in all proceedings in bankrupt? cy commenced after ono year from the time this Act shall go into operation uo discharge shall bo granted to a debtor whose assets do not pay fifty per centum of the claims against his estate, unless tho assent iu writing of a mnjority iu number and valuo of his creditors who have provod their claims is filed iu tho case at or beforo the time of application for discharge." This clause, commouly called the fifty cent clause, wout into operation on the lat of January, 1869, as an ameudioent to the law, tho original intention of Congress hoing that tho amendment should tako ellect ou the 1st of June, 1868, but Congress agreed that it should not have operation till the January fol? lowing. Now comes another and most important amendment, which provides that tho above clause shall not apply to those debts from which tho bankrupt seeks a discharge which were contracted prior to tho 1st of January, 18(59. In other words, in order to make the fact plain, any person who has contracted debts prior to January 1, 1869, may, on bis own petition, go iuto voluntary bankruptcy as if tho fifty cent clause did not exist at all. The "involuntary" portion of the Act bas beeu amended in the manner set forth in tho subjoined paragraph: "That the clause in tho thirty-ninth section of said Act w-'icli now reads, 'or who, being nbanker, merchant or trader, has fraudulently stopped or suspended, and not resumed payment of his commer? cial paper within a period of fourteen days;' Bball be amended so ns to read as follows: 'Or who, being a banker, broker, merchant, trader, manufacturer or miner, hos fraudulently stopped payment, or who hus stopped or suspended and not resumed payment of his commercial pa? per within a period of four toen days.' " It is well that legal profession and tho publie generally should bo made ac? quainted with tho above, which refers to a vary essential part of thu bankrupt? cy law. AiiD-KT. KADER TO BISMARCK.-The following is tho reply given by Abd-ol Kader to Bismarck, who had invited him and his Arabs to join the Prussian army and fight France: Let Heaven be praised. Excellent Sir-He to whom you have sent tho offer to march against France-the most glorious and most gracious of nations and to lend to you thc help of his glori? ous sword, ought for every contempt and disdain to abstain answering you. May our Arab steeds loso their manes and tails before Abd-el-Kader-Ben-Mabi Eddins fails in gratitude to tho most potent Sovereign Napoleon III-whom God protect. May your arrogant and unjust country bo buried in the dust muy tho French arms bo red with tho blood of Prussians-that their pride may be punished. Such is tho prayer of God s servants, Abd-el-Kndor-Bon-Mahi Eddiu. The Prussian Prime Minister will soareely be inclined to continue his cor? respondence with this Arabian gentle? man. For once, bc has caught a Tartar, if not au Arab. PROGRAMME OF THE SOUTHERN COM? MERCIAL. CONVENTION.-Tho committee of the Southern Commcrcinl Convention, to bo held in Cincinnati, October 1, hnvo agreed on the following topics for diseus siou: 1. Direct trailo between thc Southon) Atlnntic cities and Europe. 2. Tho Southern Pacifi? Railroad. II. Tho obstruction to navigation by the narrow span bridgo piers. 4. A continuous water lino com mun i oation between tho .Mississippi and tho Atlantic seaboard. 5. Thc removal ol' obstructions ip.ni tho mouth of thc Mississippi Uiver. (5. The construction of permanent lovecs on tho Mississippi Uiver. 7. To abolish all tolls on navigable rivers. 8. The enlargement of the moro im? portant lines of canals in tho United States, aud render them navigable hy steam vessels. 9. Finauces and taxation. 10. A settled policy on the public in? terest iu regard to tho disposition of Government bonds. 11. Charges on freight 1 ?3- rail and water liues. 12.

TUE SEASON OP EXHAUSTION-The close sultry weather which usually prevails .oward thc end of summer i? particularly un? favorable to tho feeble and enervated. Even thc well-knit frames ot strong men feel the in lluenco of tho season, ai.d lassitude and languor pervade tho whole community. Ladies, especially thouo in dclicato health, surfer much from dcb il itv, occasioned bv thc humid heat, and fool the want of a wholc somo invigorant. In fact, a necessity for something to recruit the exhausted system is experienced, more or ICBS, by everybody, and the only question is, te/m? that something >rill be. With those who have teated thc effect of FIOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS on themselves, or hayo observed its effects on others, this question will not bo in doubt for a singlo moment. Its tonic and regulating operation, and its agency in creating a healthy appetite and promoting digestion, arc rightly classed by all who have resorted to thiB unequalled vegctablu invigorant and corrective, among the most extraordinary therapeutic wonders of modern times, lt should bo taken at thid season us a safeguard against the epidemic diseases which are so apt to attack the relaxed system in thc hill of tho year. As it is understood that mercenary specula? tors in various parts of the country aro en? deavoring to supersede the standard tonic of the age with worthless articles manufactured by themselves, which they represent to be superior to this long tried remedy, itis proper to put tho public on their guard against this species of imposition, and to warn them against tho deleterious trash with which dis-i honorable dealers sock to drench them. Aug 17 tfi CHOLERA .'-Thc following letti r is from Mr. Woodward, of St. Louis, to J. N. Harris, Esq., of New London. Conn. Mr. \V. is a gen? tleman of high respectability, and during thc prevalence of the cholera in St. Louis, watched the result ol' tin; application ot" thc Rain Killer tor ibis (linease, and hits testimony can bc relied upon with the utmost confidence: DEAR SIR: YOU recollect when 1 sa?- you in January last, my expressing tu you my most sanguine expectations that Davis' PAIN KILLER would have a tremendous sale in the West this season, and my anticipations have been more than realized, and tho testimony Of thousands who have UMid it has buen that they would uot be willing to go to bed at night without it in the house. ' On the appearance of the cholera in this city, such was the confidence in thc Pain Killer as a remedy, that many who purchased it remarked to ni? that they had no fears or dread ol tho cholera, as long as they had the Pain Killer by them, and hundreds took it daily as a preventative, for no person can have a derangement of tho bowels or (liar linea, if they uso'this medicino This was tho security and confidence ol' hundreds acquainted with it, and when their friends were attacked with thc Cholera, they would administer tho remedy in huge quantities, and in every casu when it has been taken in anj'of tho lirst stages ol this disease, it has proved successful. I consider it au infallible remedy. I have not heard of any indi? (dual in any family who used tho Pain" Killer when attacked*, but speedily recovered. Tho clerk informed mo that bo administer? ed it to persons when cold orin the cramps, and it gave immediate relief, hut still it should be given quickly, for when tho dis I charge of "rico waler ".'hu- begun,"the hope of lifo has lied. Should this disease make its I appearance among you, ns m all prohabilit y it ! will, be liol alarmed; you and ail ot hi rs there have tlc remedy, and I ?nu confident if the Pain Killer is used, nut a single death by cho? lera will occur in your cit v.
