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

jvuta oi uge? ii uoi in tue regular
service bo is oither in tho roservo or
landwehr. 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. To abolish throughout thc country

velers.
13. Tho removal of thc National Capi?
tal.
14. For making all railroad viaducts
over navigablo rivers highways for all
railroads that will pny pro raitt rates of

Special KTotioos.
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.

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. Respect fully
yours, A. T.'WOODWARD.
