Another Litigant Law. can/hegisiature of Mississippi has passed a ees } Law, modeled after that islature of California.

The French artillery was superior to the Austrian at Solferino, and the Austrian was superior to the Proesian at Konigs gratz. There is no doubt of the chasse pot being a better weapon ‘than the Prussian arm. I can hardly believe the Prussians bave been able ,to effect’ sachconcentration of strength as—the .

A dis. tinguished French Admiral informed the writer some months since, that he expected the Prassians. would be the tirst to feel the weight-ef the Rochambeau’s shot, and more than one of their frigates would be sunk by her terrible ram. Atméricdns will look forward with much interest to the pertormances of this wenderful. vessel, the. creation or our most celebrated ship builder, who has furnished nearly every pavy in Eurepe with apecimens of his ‘skill an handiwork.

GERMANS, NOT Prossians.—At: the German sympathizing-mevting held at Sacramento: a few days ago, a resolutidh was passed requesting the press in speaking of the war, to desigwate the nofthern belligérents as “Germans,” and notes “Prussiene.” As nearly all Germany takes sides with Prussia, it is, perhaps, more correct to desiggate them.as requested. It is wéry Dataral, however, for people to refer to them as Prussians, as the Germans cutside.of Prussia have nothing. to say in the matter. It is really a contest. between France and Prussia, the other German rf States following the lead of the latier. PRertiesr GiRL.—It seems, according to the: Qroville Record, that to work in & printing office makes a girl pretty. That paper says: ‘The prettiest girl in Oroville, well known in our fashioaabie society for ber diwingue appearance and beaatifal complexion, was once & sallow, roughshinned girl, chagrined at Ther‘red freckled face and awk warduess.
