FROM OUR EVENING EDITION
OF YESTERDAY.
AMERICAN AFFAIRS IN EUROPE.
Possible Compile aliens «Ub England or
France.
Now that tbe furious storm of war Las
passed over our own country, and our na
tional affairs at borne are being rapidly tran
quilizcd, our relations with foreign lands as
sume anew and powerful Interest. It is not
saying too much to assert that just at present
America stands in a very delicate position
with regard to France and England, and that
still other nations are eagerly watching the
movements and utterancesof our leaders and
statesmen relative to affairs which nearly
concern all.
There has never, for many years, been any
lack of hot-headed politicians who have not
only been willing to see us embroiled in a
serious quarrel with England, but who have
ever striven with nil tjielr powers to bring
oh a forcible collision. Indeed, t it Ims been
seriously asserted that tbe quickest and
surest way to thoroughly re-unite tbe North
and the South would be to At once inaugurate
a war with England, and so cement the
union of the two great divisions oi our own
couulry with the blood of a nation which
was once the common foe of both.
it is reasoned, and with some show of
sound sense, that of the immense disbanded
armies both of the South and the North, a
very large proportion are seasoned veterans
who have not only become accustomed to
the rigors of camp and field, but have be
come so enamored of a soldier’s life and its
fierce excitement a3 to be loth to leave it,
aud that the Government in order to provide
tor these men must supply them with the
work they have learned to love so well. We
ourselves think it more than likely that the
grim veterans of the South and the North
would join hands with greater alacrity,
knowing they were soon to stand shoulder
to shoulder lu the ranks of battle against a
foreign foe, than they ever will to stand side
by side in the toils of farm and plantation,
or the ruder labors ot the forest und the
river.
In the event of a war with England, every
Irishman iu the land, who could carry a
musket would volunteer, aud thousands of
stalwart sons of the Emerald Isle would, for
the first time, leave their homes in the beau
tiful “Gem of the Sea, ” and streum across
the Ocean. Eager to enlist in a war
where every blow would be struck at the
heart of their old and heretofore victorious
enemy, every man would do bis best to
avenge the alleged wrongs which, for so
many years, Ireland has suffered at the hands
of England. And this element iu our strength
would be a myjfity one, for the memory of
past conflicts would nerve the arms of the
men of either Island aud give to such a strug
gle between the Saxon and the Celt,, a vin
dictive bitterness that is seldom found in
even the fiercest and most unrelenting wars.
If cause for opening hostilities should be
sought it would be quickly tound. The North
has bitter reason of complaint against Eng
land for the aid and comtort given the tebel
lion during the time when the Union array
was the weaker of the two, and every can
non and musket, every ton of gunpowder,
every sabre and saddle sent from England to
the South would be remembered. Tbe
facilities afforded speculators for blockade
mnuing; the many sius of the port of Nas
sau ; the lilting out of privateers to burn our
shipping; the shelter afforded the St. Albaus
raiders by tbe English courts; the immense
subscriptions to the Confederate .Loan, are
but a few items ia4li<? ldbg account scored
up against England by tbe North, each one
of which would require the fullest payment.
The South would call her to account for
her persistent refusal to recognize her as an
independent nation; for the slights of late
put upou the Confederate Commissioners;
lor her refusal to permit the powerful steam
rams to go to sea In the interest of the Con
federate cause ; for permitting the Con -
federate loan to decline and full at a
time when, more even than at any pre
vious day, they needed every dollar; and
these are but a few of the alleged grievan
ces of the South.
It would seem to be difficult for a so-called
neutral nation to so conduct itself to ward two
contending powers a9 to provoke the bitter
hatred of both, but, with a curious ingenuity,
England has in this instance certuinly suc
ceeded in thoroughly mastering that para
doxical problem.
France has been les3 active in her sympa
thies with either belligerent than England,
but even the cautious Napoleon ill cannot
much longer maintain his judicious reticence.
He must soon declaie some sort of
policy with regard to American affairs, and
all who have watched his calculating selfish
ness know that he will never side with a
vanquished faction, and that whatever may
be the line of policy he will mark out, the
will find in it little of comfort for the
past or hope for the future.
The French operations in Mexico will now
attiaitfiom the North that attention which
could net earlier be given, and what between
the jealousy all our countrymen ftel ofany
life*' Mv*jW of In*
Icrfrretice In AtEett&i on tbe otic baiid, and
£be certainty bff the other, that the Emperor
will not regard with Avery complacent eye
the large enlistments,-ddw said to be going on
in our cities, of men to operate against the
French in Mexico, there will certainly be
little love lost.
Though there will be doubtless many poli
ticians and restless ambitious men, who will
do their worst to embroil us in a foreign
war, we believe that the exhibition made
to tbe world of the mighty strength
and immense resources of America, will
cause auy nation to wait long and
ponder ‘seriously before engaging us
single-handed. We have in the strength
and valor of our tremendous armies, in tbe
fighting abilities of our enormous iron-clad'
navies, aud in tbe perfection and power of
all our enginefy of battle, good assurance that
no war will be recklessly undertaken against
America by any but a most powerful alli
ance of tbe leading nations of tbe earth. But
should insolence be attempted, a fight would
not long be postponed by any distrust of our
ability to hold our own. or by any reluctance
on our part to try the “hazard of the die.”
In case of such a serious quarrel, which
may the God of Peace avert, Americans,
North and South, would, we feel sure, witli
a pride founded on the w'cll demonstrated
valor of battles such as the world never be
fore heard of, be found nobly fighting togeth
er for the honor and prosperity of the com
mon nation.
The Street Commissioner—His Duties
and the Duties of the Citizens Upon
the military occupation of any city or town,
or the establishment of a military post by a
well regulated army, one of the first matters
to be attended to is the eftmuliness of the
post and the establishment of a good police
for the benefit of all. When the city of Sav
annah was occupied by the United States
troops, Capt. Albert Stearns was appointed
Street Commissioner, aud tbe present clean
liness of our streets, lanes, etc.,’are sufficient
testimony of what the labors of this officer
and his assistants have effected.
The city of New Orleans, which, for years
was known as a “death hole,” from the pre
valence of “yellow jack,” became under
strict ordinances comparatively healtby.
Savannah, in 18. r >4, and subsequently, was
visited with fearful ravages of yellow fever,
tbe danger of which scourge is now materi
ally lessened, it is to be hoped.
Capt. Stearns, when appointed Street Com
missoner, believed it his duty to appoint none
but citizens of respectability to fill the offi
ces of his Department. By his careful selec
tions, good men were secured, who have at
heart the welfare of their fellow citizens,
equally with that of the Government, and
they are discharging their duties ably and
faithfully, as we learn.
In the docket of the Second Provost Court
for the last two days have appeared the
names of many persons who have Violated
the Orders of the Street Department. Fines,
were inflicted in some instances, and in others
parties were excused on the plea that they
had properly instructed their servants in re
gard to garbage.
In the future, as Judge Rundlet of the Se
cond Provost Court has stated, should any
like offences occur, he will fine the parties
heavily. The Government intends to have
the sanitary and police regulations thorough
ly carried into effect, and every good citizen
should iu every possible way sustain this
policy.
The Gardens on Lovers Lane.—Yester
day afternoon a visit was made by one of our
reporters to the Market Gardens, situated on
Lovers Lane. The crops are in a tine healthy
condition, and the yield of water melons,
musk melons, green corn, okra, tomatoes,
etc., will be large. One of the most success
ful horticulturists Is Mr. F. Broadbacker,
whose farm is on the south side of Lovers
Lane. The crops of Mr. B. are in excellent
order; his fields clear of grass, and every
thing Indicates care and industry. Mr. Broad
backer is assisted by Mr. J. Maupas, who,
for years, planted a farm on the White Bluff'
Road. Mr. Broadbacker has the thanks of
the Herald for the first musk melon of the
season. The farm ot Mr. Nicholas Geil, on
the east side of Lovers Lane, is also iu ex
cellent order. On Saturday next our market
will be supplied with water melons and
musk melons.
Goino North.— Two-thirds ot the vessels
of the South Atlantic Squadron, have al
ready been sent North. The 1 touclad Nan
tucket, the Gunboats Norwich and Wiasa

suit Immediately. The “South Atlantic”
will be a “squadron of tugs.”

New Order* Concerning Prisoners and
Exchanged Soldiers.
The Washington Chronicle of the Gth inst.,
gives the following information in regard to
new and important orders :
Important to Released Prisoners.— The
War Department is said to have issued
an order directing the Quartermaster s De
partment to furnish all prisoners of war and
citizen prisoners, who have been or may be
released from confinement by reason of tak
ing tbe oath of allegiance to the United
States, with transportation to their homes, or
to the nearest points thereto, winch may it be
practicable to reach by the usual routes of
water aud railroad transportation
Release of Prisoners of War.— Tbe Pres
ident will issue, in a day or two, an order for
the release of all prisoners of war below the
rank of major, who subscribe to the oath of
allegiance to tbe United States Government.
Commissioned otficers wiii be required by
the order to enter into bonds to tbe sum of
two thousand dollars for the faithful observ
ance of tbe oath.
Discharged Sailors and Marines to he
Preferred.— By order of the Secretary of
the Navy, in employment at the navy-yards
and naval stations, preference is to be given
to those honorably discharged from the navy
and marine corps, especially those wounded
or disabled.
Muster-out Rolls and Discharges. —One
hundred and fifty thousand of these have
been furnished to the War Department by
the Government Printing Office.
Scarcity of Employment in New Orleans.
The Picayune says-: “There are probably
thousands of persons now in the city, with
whom tire single question is “What 'shall I
do ?” It is not a matter of choice but of ne
cessity. What is to be done with the surplus
idle population is an important question to
all, as doubtless all cannot find employment
in the city, and the resources of many have
been sadly diminished by causes beyond their
control.
The best thing is for each one to do some
thing ; to begin with the day of small things,
and to light the lamps of economy and indus
try. To many work is anew thing; but the
hard lesson must be learned. The now un
filled fields of the West and South may yet
afford happy homes to those who are home
less, but willing to toil, to labor and to wait.
Tennessee.— -The colored people of Ten
nessee have petitioned the Legislature for the
privilege of voting, giving as an argument
m behalf oi their request their unswerving
devotion to the Union, in every capacity and
under-all circumstances, throughout the ter
rible struggle of the rebellion. They also
iustance the fact that more than tw o hun
dred thousand colored men are now in the
ranks of the Union army, and urge that if
they can be trusted with the bayonet, surely
it wrilbe safe to tru9tthem with the ballot.
A convention of the colored people of Ten
nessee, to advance their claims to the elective
franchise aud for other purposes, is called to
be held in Nashville on the 7th of August
next.
The Popular Loln.—The subscriptions
of June sth to the Seven.thirty loan in all
parts of the Union, as telegraphed to Jay,
Cooke & Cos., amounted to $1,013,250.
The largest Western subscriptions were
SIOO,OOO from the Fourth National Bank of
Pittsburgh, and $50,000 from the First Na
tional Bank of Altoona, Pennsylvania.
The largest Eastern subscriptions were
$15,000 from Vermilye & Or., New York
and $50,000 from the Mechanics’ and Tra
ders’ Bank, of Portsmouth, N. H., and SSO -
000 from the First National Bank of Portland,
Maine. w
Jne number of individual subscriptions for
sums less than one hundred dollars \yas seven
hundred aud nine.

The attendance has been large every day

Precocious Piety. — A Michigan lawyer
tells the ioliowing story, “Several years ago
I was practicing law 'in one of the many
beautiful towns in Wisconsin. One very
warm day, while seated iu my office at work,
I was interrupted by tbe entrance of a boy,’
the son of one of my clients, who had walked
into tow r u six miles, in a blazing sun, for the
purpose of procuring a Bible. 'He batl been
told, be said, that there was a place
where they gave them away to the people
who had no money, he said that he had no
money, and said lie w’as very anxious to get
one ol the books, and asked me to go with
him to the place where they were kept.—
Anxious to encourage him in bis early piety,
I left the brief on w’hich I was engaged and
vyent with him over to the stand of a Presbyte
rian deacon who had the much coveted books
iu charge. I introduced him to the deacon,
telling him the circumstances. He praised
the boy very highly, was delighted to see
young men so catty seeking after the truth,
etc., and presented him with the best bound
Bible in his collection. Bubby put it in his
pocket, and was starting off, when the
deacon said :
‘Now my son, that you possess what you
desired, I suppose you feel happy ?’
*W ell, I do, old boss: for between you and
me, I know where I can trade it for a plaguev
gdod fiddle !”
Charcoal. —A fruit grower says, in one of
our old contemporaries, that he found “cliar
coal placed aiound the roots of the diseased
peach stock was serviceable. He immediate
ly removed the soil from around the trunk of
a sickly tree in his garden, supplied its place
with charcoal, aud was surprised at its sud
den renovation and subsequent rapidity of
growth, and the tenacity with which the
fruit held on the branches, and the unusual
richness of its fruits when matured.”
A correspondent of the Cultivator at Mo
bile writes: “Pears do very well here. Pine
charcoal is being burned on a large scale in my
neighborhood, for city consumption, I find
that the dirt from the coal beds is excellent
for them.” About tbe roots of tbe apple
trees, if applied, it is thought not only to
promote the general health ol the tree, but
to keep away the very troublesome wooly
aphis which infests them, and forms on them*
very injurious congeries of warty lumps.
Charcoal dust is also valuable to mix with
manure heaps, and with the contents of pri
vies, removing all offensive smell, and great
ly increasing the value as well as the bulk of
enriching substances. —Southern Cultivator.
Sure Signs of Peace. —The Quartermaster
General’s office is issuing elaborate orders for
the government of otficers of that department
in settling up tlieir affairs on a peace basis
The government will have several millions’
worth of supplies on hand.
Gen. Banks Ordered Home.— A despatch
to the Boston Transcript says: Gen. Banks
is ordered to report at Waltham, Mass. His
affairs are undergoing investigation at the
War Department.
Flies.— An old lady, who has watched the
signs of the times for seventy-nine summers,
says house flies will be more numerous this
summer than they have been tor nineteen
years.
The Lincoln Monument.— Tbe benefit at
Ford's Theatre, Baltimore, on Saturday,
June 3d. for the Lincoln Monument Associa
tion, yielded eleven hundred dollars.
Mayor Gunther has vetoed the resolu
tion of the Common Council of New Y'oik
