From this it would appear that there is at least one survivor who lias not been made known to the agents of the Steamer l.ine or the English newspapers.

THE ERIE INJUNCTION WAR
ENGLAND.
MISCELLANEOUS ITJ-.M.«.
LONDON,
Oct. 23.—The Times' special
dispatch from Berlin, states that the late negotiations for pcace have come to naught.owing io the persistence of Prussia in
her
demands for a cession of French territory. The Times in an article advising the British government to make no further efforts lo put a stop to the war now, says: Jf England persists in negotiating lor peace she must be ready to stake something on it.
LONDON
Oct. 21.- The town of Schles-
tadt capitulated yesterday to the beseigin"- I'orces, after a severe bombardment. The surrender includes
2,-U!0
prisoner.-,
and 120 cannon. The government at lours permits the exportation of all articles heretofore placed on the prohibited list, except cereals, to Switzerland.
Bishop McElvaine, of Ohio, in a letter to the Times, solicits aid for Americans in Paris, to be sent through Sir Curtis Laman, who remains in that city.
The Standard says that negotiations are actively going on between Versailles and the Empress Eugenie, at Chisel1'iursl, with a view to the return'of the Empress to France, to resume the Kegencv and negotiate for peace. The departure of the Empress, if it did not occur last night, may be expected at any mo ment.
Thiers lias accepted the mission to negotiate for an armistice only, but is still in Tours awaiting safe conduct to Paris to consult lirst with the government there.
Negotiations for the surrender of Met/, continue, but make slow progress. Bazaine ignores the French provisional government in his communications.
The Berlin Gazette is reviewing the attempts at conciliation, and fays the government is led to consider tlieru by its desire to avoid further loss of valuable lives.
Fragments of the stcamea Cambria have washed ashore on the coast of Antrim and Donegal.
The Imperial busybodies have held a meeting in London with a view ot making negotiations by placing the Empress on the throne as i\egent. The Prussians are in no way responsible for these efforts and the Empress herself steadily refuses to encourage thein. She said her hopes are wholly for her boy that she regardes all attempts to replace herself or the Emperor on the throne, idle, either now or hereafter, and that the ckances of Louis could only be imperiled by being pushed on. She declares she would hold herself wholly aloof from all political intriguing until peace is restored.
LONDON,
Oct. 25.—'I he city is excited
over the introduction of a French loan 10,000,000 francs, the lirst time France of ever negotiated a loan outside of Trance. It is received with great favor. 'I he subscriptions arc already very large.

TOURS,
Oct. 25.- From private, but re
liable sources, we hear that there are vast numbers of sick in the camps of the besiegers.
On many occasions, the discontent of the men has been loudly expressed, and their commanding officers have been obliged to go often among the troops to keep up their morale.
Sorties made nightly by small parties of Parisians and constant tiring at night from the forts, severely harrass the Prussians. Up to the present time, the latter have not succeeded in erecting battel ies of siege guns near enough to commence the bombardment of the city.
The gentleman who gives the above news is a resident of Versailles, and has been there ever since the enemy occupied the town, until a day or two ago, when he managed to make his escape.
The following dispatches are received:

APPOINTMENTS.
The-following appointments were made to-day: Jas. S. Hodge, postmaster at Little Eock, Arkansas Jas Orrlv, U. S. attorney, Nevada. THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY COX.
WASHINGTON,
no
and
Oct. 25.—It may be
slated with confidence, that tlie reason for Secretary Cox's retirement involved no difference whatever in public affairs. Contrary to report, there was entire harmony on the policy of conducting affairs through the hands of civilians selected for their business qualifications, as well as for their known benevolent character. The only thing that could be construed as involving a disagreement between Sec relary Cox and the President was the McGarahan claim. A year ago the President expressed to the Secretary his desire that
patent should be signed in his nameeither for McGarrahan or New Idria Co., until Congress had finally acted upon the subject. As imuch corruption has been charged on both sides, and as a question undergoing legislative enquiry, even [before the present administration came into exis'.ance. and on the 22d of August last, the President wrote Secretary Cox a note, in which he communicated similar views
inhibited the signing of such patent bv the Secretary appointed to sign land patents for the"Presldem, unless ly his own specific order, or through the Secretary himself. The Secretary on the reception of the President's note promptly gave the required instruction to the land patent Secretary.
Secretary Cox explained lo the President that McGarrahan's case was not before the Department that it was the New Idria Company's claim to the same quicksilver mines, the possession of which is contested by McGarrahan. But this matter was not the cause of Secretary Cox's resignation. The reason given for the withholding of the correspondence between Secretary Cox and the President—the resignation and its accept
ance
—i that it was at the lime it took place, considered to be private by both parties, and involves no difference on public measures as a cause of official separation. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE.
It has been ascertained from high official sources, that no person is yet decided on for Commissioner of Internal Revenue nor is il likely that an appointment will be made for several weeks.
