Aooording to a statement in La Liberte this morning, neither France nor Prussia has yet issued a formal proclama tion or committed a technical act of war. lach power hesitates to be the aggressor. La Libet te shows that both Count Benedetti and Baron von Werther withdrew from their respective posts of their own acoord, and contradicts the report that passports had , been sent to the Count de Solmes, the ' Charge d'Aifaires of the Prussian Legation, who up to last night remained at the Embassy in Paris. I'EUSBIA NOT DESIROUS TO BEGIN THE WAB. La Liberie looks on the fact as one of much significance, and explains it as follows: The Count de Solmes declares that his Govern ment does not desire to begin the war; that it does not wish to assume the responsibility, and still relies on the wisdom and conciliatory spirit of the Emperor. In accordance with this view, the Prussian Charge admits that he has been instructed not to ask for his pass ports; but if the Court of the Tuileries chooses to take the initiative and send him bis pasnportSj he will consider the act as an expulsion, and will withdraw with the entire Legation. This situation cannot last long. WAB PROCLAMATION EXPECTED BY THE CHAMBEB3.

A Texas Editor Who Could Not Appre ciate a Clean Shibt. Whenever anybody does anything particularly absurd he is im mediately located in Texas, and if - some per son wishes to perpetrate a joke, as to whose excellence he is somewhat In doubt, he ascribes it to a Texas editor, thereby clearing his own skirts of all responsibility in the pre mises. The Texas editor is made to suffer in various ways, and be is accordingly a most convenient creature. "Editors," we are told, for instance, by some exceedingly droll writer, "have a first-rate time in Texas. The ladies of a town out there have given to the editor of the paper an embroidered shirt which contains a pictorial history of Texas, including the war with Mexico, and meeting of the first Legislature, and also pictures of the fruits and cereals of the State, all worked in red and worsted. The editor never wore a shirt in his life, and he thought it was a banner for the temperance procession which was to come off the next week. So he made a little speeoh of thanks, in which he said he would "fling it out for ever to the breezes of heaven, that they might kiss its folds, and that, until his hand palsied, it should never be trailed in the dust never!" The ladies didn't understand him; and when be talked about its trailing they blushed, and said they were sorry they made it too long. But a committee man took the editor aside and explained the shirt to him in a whisper, and the next day he appeared at the office with that shirt mounted over his coat and wrote four columns of explanation for his paper. The shirt is much admired by the boys of the town, and whenever the editor goes out for a walk they follow him in regiments, studying the history of Texas and the fine arts off the back of it.
