CONTRRAATIONS WITH PatsowEns, with the prisoners takon MAM. Dut eigited jistle mews (com thom, gome ing e say tho rebel soldiers are in ag good spirits as ever and just a8 willing to Gght as ever; others do not pat on such a bright coloring. The captured colonel was formerly a Jawyer in Chicago, and a short time before tho war ree moved to Huntsvillo, Alabama, where ho prosecuted bis profession, ar/ at the eatné time carried on a suit for the possession of the beurt of a fair Southrou, which he won, and united to bumself matrimonially, Oae very singular observation was made by several of the men in relation to the fighting of the two armies, which etruck moas very true. They say that our meo do aot stand up and sacrilice their ives as freely as they do. Our mon haye common sense enough to know when they aretunnecetsurily exposed, and act accordingly. The rebel army {s moved_ouly by tho jotelligence of its lead- ers; our army acts throug: the intelligence of the whoie masz. Tho prisoners say our officers do not sacrifice their men usclessly, Unt always consider the cost before they undertake a movement, They think that their of- ficers have littlo regard for the lives of the sokiters, and are willing to sacrifice avy number to accomplish their purposes. Bot the most important fovelation im the minds of the Southern soldier is the commencement to Seo ond bejreve that this war ou the part of the South is designed merely to gratify the ambition of the leaders, and not the improvement of their own condition, This feeling is beginning to circulate freely amongst them, and tue ellect will soon be sees, From my own observa tion I think the ently am of the mass of the rebel sol- diery is dajiy growing tess, avd they appenr decidedly indivferent as to who wins, only so it brings peace and progperity to themselves, their Camilies and thoir homes, DESEXTION OF AN ENTIRE COMPANY.

Tn the House of Commons on the 10th of June, Lora Palmerston, in reply to Mr. Disraeli, said that a iurther suspension of hostilities in Denmark had been agreed to, without conditions. It was the longest. extension to which Denmark would agree. ‘The Conference was in session three hours and @ half oa the 9th inet. ‘The armistice has been extended a fortnight, and will terminate on the 26th of Juve. The London papers agreo that no progress has been tmade in settling the matters in dispute. The Danish plenipotentiaries are said to have placed themselves in complete accord with the neutral Powers by accepting fu its be geile their proposal for a com promise with tho line of the Schley fora frontier. The Germans insist on the line proposed by them, and will hear of no modification, The Danes show a dotermination to recommence the war rather than make further con- cessious. “It js therefore regarded as very possible that the campaign will reopen on the 24th inat. ‘The London 7imes thinks that if the neutrals press their scheme for a frontier sottiement, such a settlement may be made. * The London Post says that great hope {ir In the pror- pect t L nd will take up a decided position, and let Anstria and Prussia undergtand t néods but little more tourge her on a conree which, however repagnant to her, will be dictated to her by a’ atrong seuce of honor aud interest. The London Herold sees no chance of agreement unless Engiand adopts a decisive attitude, aud thinks that Par- liament should prompt the governinent to it. The Confercace has adjourned till June 15. The London Advertiser says that in case the armistice Dad not been profonged Mr. aeli was prepared to Move a resolution of censure against the Cabinet, ana that Lord Palmoaston was prepared, tn euch a contingeney, to dissoive Parliament and appeai to the country instead of resigning. ‘Ihe Acveriiwer, however, thinks that Me. Disraeli may even yet bring forward such a motion. The Paris papers also assert that the conservatives Dave determined to bring Lord Palmerston aud his Cabi- Ret to an account. ‘The Augsburg Gazelle publishes the text of the proposal made by Fogland, {t concludes by suggesting that if Denmark consents to the sacritice demanded, justice te- quires that the indepoodence of the Kingdom ehall be guaranteed by the great Powers. Knglaad bas also propoted that South Schleswig should not be annexed to Holstein without the cousent of the in- babitents. x ‘Tho Paris Monitewr says that the representa’ ves of the Doliigerents at the Conference hdd agreed to meet, in order to come to some amicable settlement un‘or the auzpices of one neutral representative, and that the Frevch Plenipotentiary had been selected by them.
