Translated, for the Journal, from the Berlin K ladder adatsch (Punch). Bohemian Conversations. fit favor, from Headquarters.) Seppi Well, what do you say, Peppi? Those Prussian vagabonds are already in Pardubitz. Peppi It 's the needle-gun ! Seppi I should never have believed that such a God - forsaken Berliner could build such pontoon bridges! Peppi It's all the needle-gun! Seppi And the artillery of those Prussian braggarts also did good work. Peppi It's all the needle-gun! Seppi And they, footed like a goat tailors, in the Prussian uniform of hussars whipped our "Eilelfiheim" cavalry, and scattered our squares ! Peppi It's all the needle-gun! Seppi And the exact order in the Prussian militiry administration, the nursing, the hospitals, and fine ambulances, and Peppi It's all the needle-gun ! Seppi And the endurance which their soldiors have, the fatigue they can stand! Peppi It's all the needle-gun. Seppi And the quick movements. Peppi All the needle-gun ! Seppi And the conformity in command, the sagacious strategy ! Peppi All the needle-gun! Seppi And the noble behavior; pay every thing they get, nurse our wounded, divide the last bit with our soldiers! Peppi All the needle-gun ! Seppi Well, then, will nothing do against this needle-gun? Peppi By interposition or publication on the side of our government, nothing. But Archbishop Rousher has written to Rome, that the anathema has to be thrown against it! Turks and Vandals! Then the Berlinian tailors will find, whether or not their devils' work will hit ! THE END AND THE MEANS.

The Needle Gun and Bismark Dissipate the Diplomacy of Napoleon and his Sympathizers. From the London Times of July 28. The prolongation of the armistice and the signature of the preliminaries of peace between Austria and Prussia, at Nikolsbur, on Tuesday, removed all danger ot a sudden resumption of hostilities, and give us the assurance that negotiations are sufficiently advanced to afford fair fromise of a satisfactory conclusion, 'rom this armistice, however, the minor German States who were allied with Austria are still inexorably excluded, and the Bavarians had on the same Thursday an encounter with the Prussians near Wurzburg, which, according to the Munich official account itself, was disastrous to the Bavarians, and compelled them to fall back with their headquarters as far as Rothenburg. The King of Prussia seems inclined to look upon any difference that may exist between himself and the minor German States as a purely German affair, in which he will admit no foreign interference and which must either be settled by his own Government, or referred to the General Parliament hereafter to be assembled. The peculiar harshness with which Bavaria has been treated throughout all these transactions and the encouragement held out to the Grand Duke of Baden as a mediator between Prussia and the Southern States are sufficiently significant. It is all on the old Roman principle Parcere subjectis et debellare superbos. Baden is small, and may be coaxed ; but to Bavaria no mercy is to be shown. Baron von der Pfordten, the Prime Minister, as we all know, appealed in vain for an interview with Count Bismark at Nikolsburg. The intercession of M. Benedetti and Count Karolyi in his favor was unavailing. The great man was " not at home," anu the Baron had to leave his card with his Excellency's porter. Strange things indeed are seen in this world of ours, and especially since Needle Gun is King. A young, chivalrous Emperor, six weeks ago the sovereign ruler of a State of 36,000.000 subjects, and Commander-in-Chief of an army of 900,000 combatants, the head also of a confederation by which 200,000 auxiliaries were added to his forces, is worsted in a ten days' campaign, receives his coup de grace in a great pitched battle, and despairing of his ability to retrieve his fortunes, either by prolonged hostilities or by direct negotiation, puts himself and his affairs into the hands of another monarch greater than himself, and through him sues for reconciliation with his victorious adversary. The great umpire offers the terms proposed by Austria and himself to the fortunate conqueror; but meeting with insuperable opposition, and shifting his ground with Maaiable dexterity, he recommends the "conditions proposed by Prussia to the acceptance of Austria and a truce is made, an armistice is signed, and the basis for a peace is laid. The Austrian Emperor is a loyal and faithful ally, and the Emperor of the Freneh is zealous for justice to all parties,- in neither of them can we presume forgetfulness or neglect of the minor German potentates. It was certainly by the will of neither that Bavaria was left "out in the cold;" but out in the cold " she was left, nevertheless, and in the suspension of hostilities, and in the preliminaries of peace no mention occurs of her name. The inference is clear that when the advocate and his client, after pleading for themselves, would have proceeded to advocate the cause of their allies,

they were admonished to mind ' their own business "and let Bavaria and the lemaining German princes come to an immediate settlement for themselves. Austria and Prussia then, under French auspices, signed their separate armistice, and when Bavaria, surprised and anxious, came to inquire what was to become of her, she was received with a doleful shrug of the shoulders, and referred to the one who alone has the power to bind and to loose. Von der Pfordten went accordingly to Bismark, and Bismark was " not at home " to Von der Pfordten. Whether this tone of supreme contempt is merely answered out of a vainglorious desire to revel in the consciousness of unresisted power, or whether it harbors a design to stretch that pover to the utmost, and to attain some great object in despite of gods and men, Bismark seems to delight in taking up what every one else would deem an untenable position, and showing how easy it is for him to hold it against all comers. How long ago is it since this same Baron von der Pfordten and Baron von Beust held themselves as high and mighty statesmen as the Prussian Minister, and thought they could snub him in the Frankfort Diet, and thwart him at the London Conference, and outbid him with the German people! Since, however, he took up that paltry Schsles-wig-Holstein business, what control could Von Beust, or Von der Pfordten, or Mensdorff, or Russell, or Druyn de Lhuys, all Europe, or Prussia herself, her King, her press, or her Pdrliamenf ever exercise over this one man? He was, we must repeat, what we have long since asserted, "the only man in Germany who knew what he wanted, who knew what Germany wanted, and who was sure that what Germany really wanted the world could not gainsay. " His " accidental " want of attention to Baron Von der Pfordten at Nikolsburg was not without design. He wished the world to understand that Prussia was putting Bavaria into what is intended to be her future place. But a far stronger evidence of the tenacity of Bismark 's purpose of the "method of the man's madness" we have in his present dealings with the city of Frankfort. Frankfort, it is now intimated, will have to pay to the uttermost farthing. His mind as to that

matter of the twenty-five millions of florins is as fully made up as on that of the humiliation of Bavaria, and the end of all the Frankforters' protests and remonstrances is that the cash will have to be forthcoming. We have already expressed our opinion as to this outrageous conduct of the Prussian Government towards the city of the Bund. Count Bismark's resolution on this point seems to border on madness, but it is all of a piece with the long career of eccentricity of which the world now begins to see the drift. Bent on ruling over Germany, Bismark is aware that, now he has rid himself of Austria, he has only to contend with two adversaries the jealousy of the minor Courts and the democracy of the cities. The one he humbles at Munich, the other he crushes at Frankfort. He is fully aware who are his foes and who his friends in the Federal city, and he believes that by dealing very severely with the former he will ultimately secure the suffrage of the latter. Time must test the wisdom of his high-handed policy. But, meanwhile, it is well to bear in mind that Bismark is attempting from the Throne in Germany a revolution of no less moment than that which was achieved in Prance from the Tribune ; and he thinks that revolution requires not only audacity, but all the show and ostentation of audacity. It is only by brav ing the world, he seems to believe, that one can bring the world to hi6 feet. It is not easy to feel unmixed admiration and, still less, to feel cordial sympathy for a man of Bismark 's temper. But strange instruments are often required to work out great purposes; and woe to us if we were always to reject the desirable end because we feel inclined to quarrel with the questionable means. Men like M. de Bismark spurn all co-operation : they disavow all complicity. There was much that was unsatisfactory in the state of Germany, and out of keeping with the age we live in. The prolongation of the dualism between Austria and Prussia, the perpetual self-stultification of the Diet, the pinchbeck glitter of thirty-six sovereign crowns, the ranting and raving of an impotent democracy the whole system looked out of date, exploded, doomed. Vague aspirations were afloat a yearning after something in definite, unpractical. The Germans, as a people, never knew what they wished; and to bring the partial wishes of the various courts and governments, of the cities, of the provinces, of the tribes, sects and parties of Germany to a common accord was more than mere persuasion and gentle means rould effect. Count Bismark is trying" what sheer force will do, and hg one Can deny him the right to congratulate himself on his success thus far. There was nothing in Prussia itself, from the King to the meanest subject, that he did not bow to his will. He subsequently flew at higher game ; he first bent, then broke Austria, and is now bent on overcoming all opposition throughout Germany. The humiliation of Bavaria, the most ambitious of the minor States, and the chastisement of Frankfort, the seat of the most arrogant democracy, were all part of his scheme. He is sure to have his way with both of them. Unless the tide of fortune were suddenly to turn and great disaster to befall the Prussian armies, he will carry all before him. He is a

deep gambler, and reckons the odds with wonderful accuracy. There was a chance in 1864 that England, France, and even Russia, might takepart with Denmark against him; but he would take his chance of that. There was a cfmnceafew days ago that the Emperor Napoleon would back Austria with an " armed mediation " after Koniggratz. But Bismark took his chance of that too. Every stroke of daring that meets with success prompts the man to higher flights of audacity, and justifies his reckless confidence.

Greene's Patent Cylinder CIDER MILL, ; For Crushing and Expressing the Juice from Apples, Lrrapes, and other Fruit, at one and the same operation. THE Nl'BSCRIBER HAS ISVESTed and patented a Machine for crushing and expressing the juice from Apples and other fruit at a single operation, thereby dispensing with screws, levers, presses, and other cumbersome machinery, and saving all the time and labor necessary to separate the juices from the fruit by the old process. This important result is attained by a novel arrangement of crushins and pressing cylinders together in one frame, entirely unlike any Machine ever heretofore constructed for such a purpose, and which must eventually supersede and do away with all known processes for extracting juices from fruit. The subscriber claims, and is ready to demonstrate, that the following advantages are gained over all other Machines: 1st. With I he same amount of power, three times the quantity of Cider or Wine can be made in a day than can be made by any other Machine. 2d. That lrom 25 to 40 per cent, more Cider or Wine tan be extracted from the same amount of fruit. 3d. That it is more compact and simple In its operation, stronger and less liable to get out of order; is adapted to hand or other powers ; is portable, and can be transported readily from place to place; can be driven by any kind of power, and can be attached to any machinery. 4th. It Is cheaper in proportion to Its capacity. 5th. It is stronger, being constructed entirely of iron. Gth. In being adapted for expressing juh'rs rrom all kinds of fruit, Including Apples, Grapes, Rhubarb, or Wine 1'lant, Currants, and Berries of all kinds. 7th. That it is superior to any Root Cutter known for the purpose of crushing roots of all kinds, for feeding stock, quicker, easier, and better than any other Machine. 8th. That K expresses the juice from Apples or other fruit the moment they are crushed, wherein lies the great secret of making good Cidtfr or Wine. 9th, That it does not grind or break the seed of any kind of fruit; thereby doing away with a great objection which is urged against all other Machines.

THE EVANSVILLE JOURNAL

FOR IT HE CAMPAIGN OF 1836. Daily, Tri-Weekly & Weekly MAKE UP YOUR CLUBS! The next campaign will be one of the most important which the people of Indiana have ever fought against Sroscription, and error, and wrong. Tow, if ever, must the fruits of the terrible war which we have suffered, be secured beyond a peradventure. The grave responsibilities growing out of the situation are felt and appreciated by all the people. In order that they may be prepared to act understandingly, there is a necessity for cheap and rapid means of informing themselves of the rapid events transpiring from day to day in the political world. It is with the design of doing all in our power to meet this want that we now propose to issue A CAMPAIGN EDITION OF THE Daily, Tri-Weekly & Weekly Journal

It is to the Journal as a leading paper, working in the interests of the principles of the Union party for the fetate, that we would call attention. The conduct of the paper, politically, is too well known to need any publication of its manner or the principles which have governed it. It will continue as before, without change. In addition to the careful attention to the Political Department of the paper, special effort will be made each department being placed in competent hands to make the Journal a complete compendium of news, a pleasant fire-side companion, a faithful niavket guide, and in short a complete summary of events in the political, social, religious, literary, scientific and commercial world.
