MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 1871.
Pcace Betweon i'russia ami France. An armistice between France and Prussia has flnaliy been arranged, which may eventuate in a peace and the con elusion of the war without further biood Bhed. The terms are given in a dispatch from Kaiser William to the Empress Augusta: Tlie German forces occupy ah the forts around Paris, (which was done on Saturday afternoon the reguiai forces of the French army and tin Gardes Mobile are to he kept as prisoners of war within the city, the investment of which is to be main tained, although it will be revictualhd when the troops are disarmed. The National Gu ird taKes upon itself the task oi preserving order. Ail the armies in tin field are to retain their pre-ent j-ositious, tie ground between them to be treated LS lieiitial territory. Toe Con-tituent Assembly is io be assembled at Pordeaux within a fortnight, and to them terms of peace will be submitted. The armistice was signed on Friday ni-hl at eight o'clock, and is to la-t three week-. All statements outside oi these particulars are mere gossip.
Decrees have been issued the election of members of the Germ in Parliament. on tlie -J of February, and for it.nieetingon the!)lh of March next.
This armistice, in all probability, wil terminate the b!o.dy contest. The further bombardment of Pari- would outrage the Christian civilization of the times in which we live. To invest a city, and take it by starving the inhabitants into suhmi-sion, is barbarous. To bombard a city and destroy men. women, and children becau-e the leaders wiil not surrender, is setting at deli me: a!: that is good in the civilization ol lSil. Thecivilization of three hundred years ago, refused to do such a barbaroti-. thing under circumstances precisely identical with those which now surround Paris. In collating historical comparisons on this subject, the New York 6'an, present.the following ease. "Henry IV., celebrated in story and song as King Henry of Navarre, ascended the throne of Fiance nearly three hundred years ago. He showed his liberality in ecclesiastical affairs by issuing the famm e*Tlict of Nantes, which, though he himself conformed to the Catholic Church, granted religious freedom to all Protestants, and his gallantry in tight and goodness of heart have won for him the admiration of mankind. Daring the earlier years of his reign, Henry's right to the throne was contested, civil war raged through the kingdom, and it became necessary for him to besiege Paris, which zealously espoused the cause of his enemies.
Now mark the difference between the conduct of Henry of N ivarre, in the sixteenth century, and th.it of William of Hohcnzolicrn, in thenineteenth. Though Henry had surrounded the city by a great army, he refused to subject it to the horrors of a bombardment or an assault, but preferred to tiring its rulers to submission by cutting off their supplies. When he subsequently learned that the inhabi tants had consumed aP their provisions, and were devouring dogs and eats, and were even beginning to grind up the hones of their dead to ike bread, he took pity on these victims of the obstinacy of their leaders, and allowed his soldiers to pass provisions through the lines to the people. Failing to bring tlie city to capitulate without inflicting
these memorable words would rather never have Paris than obtain it by the ruin and death of so many human beings. I do not wish the city to become a cemetery, nor do I tie-ire to reign over the dead.'
It is doubtless true that the past three hundred years have distinguished by a •wonderful advance in the arts that humanize and elevate mankind but it must be confessed that a mitigation of the horrors of war has badly kent pace with the progress of civilization in otiier respects. The present era in the world's history, whose philanthropists laud the rapid advance of nations in tlie arts of peace, and whose divines point with ex ultation to the missionary stations with which they have dotted the surface of the globe—this proud era would feel itself insulted if it were told that the most enlightened of the States of Christendom is now waging war upon a prostrate people with more cruelty than marked the wars of an age that witnessed unmoved the massaere of St. Bartholomew, looked on with cool indifference while Elizabeth of England sent Mary of Scotland to the block, aud saw with approving eyes large bodies of Christians immured in dungeons, stretched on the rack, and persecuted to the earth's ends, because they could not conscientiously subscribe to the Thirty-niue Articles of the English Church, or admit the supremacy of the Pope. And yet we need only to contrast the conduct of Henry with that of William before the walls of Paris, to be convinced of this sad truth."
gieat calamities upon it, Heniy finally jirjse jri only the beginning of tlie end. abandoned tiie siege and retired, an-' The key brick is otit. Now look out for nouncing his reasons for this course in a crash, and stand from under.
The Sunday Cincinnati Commercial, speaking of the surrender of Paris, says Last night's dispatches are to the effect that the terms of the surrender of Paris are agreed upon, and that peace must follow the submission of the great city.

Tne resolution offered by Butler in the House, to appoint a commission to inquire into tiie a flairs of all the subsidized roads, looks to the contingency of govern men control orgovernment total loss.
The explosion of the Pacific Riilroad bubble will seriou-ly interfere with the construction of similar enterprises. It is doubtful wheter the Northern Pacilic, which has only laud subsidies, wiil be built. Capitalists will very naturally be on their guard. The iSauiheru Pacific scheme, which is only projected, is al.-o in bad odor. Fremont has been thrown overboard, hut this has served to expose a whole chapter of extravagance and corruption, which sickens tho.-e who put money in it, and Bia-t repel capitalists who may hereafter be approached., liesides, the lact is demonstrated that ti railroad to the Pacific does not pay expenses. This is the condition of the Union Pacific. What inducement, then, can there be to buial another? It is not of much consequence whether or not the (Southern Pacific obtains a land grant. Half the land grant it asks is of such a character that it is not worth the money it would take to buy the Gazette buiiding. This land might have enabled the company to induce capitalists to buy its bonds had not the Union Pacific Railroad explosion exposed lie emptiness of all such schemes.

There arc other railroad bubbles which must also soon explode. While the general interests of the country have been shrinking like a ham, railroads have been watering the stock and paying dividends by borrowing the money oil their expended securities. This is unnatural. II.rilroad officials, who are manipulating these schemes, may save their own bacon, but those who carry watered stock* and watered bonds will come to grief. We have had the first rumbling noise of the approaching storm. Within two weeks twenty-seven millions have been wiped out. What come3 next? This is the only question.
Proceedings of tiie Railroad Sleeting. Pursuant to adjournment, the friends of the Terre Haute & I31oom'ield Kailroad met at the Court House in Bloomfield, on Saturday tiie 81st inst., W. Mason, Esq., in the Chair.
The committee appointed to confer with the people of Terre Haute on the subject, introduced Hon. G. F. Cookeriy, Mayor of that city, who addressed the meeting at considerable length, showing the many advantages of "railroads in general, and the immense advantage of this one in particular, to the people of Greene county. He stated that the people of Terre Haute were extremely anxious to secure the completion of the road and that if Greene county would raise 850,000 in stock, he confidently believed that the road would be completed and the cars running by the 1st day of January 1872. la the course of his speech Mayor Cookeriy read some resolutions assed by the City Council of Terre Haute, at tlieir regular meeting on the 17th inst.
Here follows the resolutions of the Council, which were published in the GAZETTE several days ago.
At the conclusion of Mayor Cookerly's specch, Mr. Forrest, a member of the City Council, was also introduced, who spoke for some time on the importance of oi theroad, using arguments so strongand convincing that the best, of feeling in favor of the enterprise was aroused by it. The speech of Mr. Forrest, was clear, candid and forcible, and was attentively listened to throughout.
One of the committee read a letter from C. Kose, Esq., speaking very earnestly

OUR NEW YEAR'S GREETING!
As'we glance back over tlie v.'ork accomplished in seven short months, we are
suie our customers will not wonder at our feeling a litlie elated at our unusual,
but not to us, unexpected success. Our first visit to Terre Haute convinced us that
here, of all tlie cities in this State, was most needed a reform in the various system
upon which the Dry Goods business was being conducted. The motto of (his sys
tem was, "Secure the very largest profit possible on every dollar's worth of goods
sold." We believt a change was needed aud that the peopls would generously
support any firm who, disregarding the machinations of the old high-priced stores,
would dare to write over their doors this opposite motto, "Sell every dollar's worth
of goods at (lie smallest possible profit consistent with safe business principles." In
pursuance of this idea we marked out our course and have pursued it without fear
or favor. We expected opposition, for we had been informed of the plans laid for
our discomfiture. We are not even sure that this opposition might not lake the
form of personal violence, so when the high-priced stores took this way to bolster
up their falling fortunes, we were hardly disappointed.
Our Success lias been Unparalleled!
At one bound our Store took its position at the head of the Dry Goods Trade of
Terre Haute. We had not mistaken popular sentiment. Congratulatory and en
couraging messages and words came to us from every quarter, one and all bidding
us go forward and never for a moment to doubt the earnest sympathy and hearty
