STATE OF EUROPE.
The steamship Cuba at New York breaks
the dull monotony that has characterized the
European intelligence for some time past.—
There are unquestionable indications of
trouble in Prussia. The occupier of the Prus
sian throne has been almost at political dag
gers ends with the popular branch of his
Parliament for some considerable time. It
is not a dispute involving tlie royal preroga
tive, but the grant of money, which is refused
• by the representatives of the people, despite
of which the former affixed his signature to
the budget, without, of course, the concur
rence of said representatives. This violation
of the Prussian ConstitudOi has led to the
attempt to form popular re-unions, which,
under orders from the government, have
been prevented by the Police of every city
in the Prussian dominions.
The leaders have been, in consequence,
invited to hold their banquet iu Bremen,.
which is neutral territory. It is doubtful
wither any thing will arise from the dem
onstration. The Prussians are not yet ripe
for revolution. Similar movements in Paris
led to the French revolution by which Louis
Philippe was compelled to abdicate, but
Prussians are not Frenchmen.
Tlie refusal of Austria to acknowledge the
nationality of Italy is a significant circum
stance, especially if taken in connection
with the prompt recognition of Italian in
dependence by Spain. The two farts in
connection' give indications of hostile intent
by Austria towards Italy, as the purpose of
Spain, the ally of France, plainly prefigures
the design of the latttcr to come to tlie res
cue of Italy if assailed by Austria.
There are c&nplicafious arising which
nothing but war can terminate, in the rela
tions between the Pope, Austria and France,
while Austria, Prussia and the German Con-,
federation appear to understand each other
as relates to the Danish complication. We
should not be surprised were France, Spain
and Italy to form a combination in the inter
ests of Italian unity against the German
Powers, unless a General Congress is soon
held to adjust -these contrarieut interests.
Perhaps this explains the inquietude of Louis
Napoleon with regard to the assembling of a
General Congress.
MATERIALS OF HISTORY,
Tlie copiousness of records has contributed
nothing to the truth oi history. On tlie con
trary, its reliability would appear to be in
the inverse ratio of the fertility of its re
sources. 3lemoirs, Diaries, Journals, Cor
respondence—the contents of innumerable
private repositories and pub lie collectious
have placed at the command of the
historian a boundlless mass of materials.
Family records ha re given up their secrets.
• Tlie mysteries of diplomacy which had been
locked up for centuries have been disclosed
to the prying curiosity of the annalist; yet
is there v>ncl'actin the whole range of his
torical narrative for which absolute verity
can be claimed ? Is there one piece of evi
dence that would command judicial belief?
A cloud of witnesses appears rather to con
fuse the truth than to elucidate it. We are
impelled to this course of remark by notic
ing the conflicting statements of ear and eye
witnesses of transactions of the most recent
occurrence in our military history. The re
mark has frequently been made tbut no two
witnesses, having equal powers and oppor
tunities of observation, would give the same
narration of a battle. How repeatedly this
observation has been verified since the com
mencement of our sectional conflict, we need
not remark. The most simple occurrences
have received a false colouring from the bias
of persons who do not appear to be conscious
of the existence of prejudice or prepossession.
Yet these are, in great part, the materials of
Instory. The contents of the newspaper pass I
into the historic page as among the most ve- '
racious details of important transactions,
becaurc witnessed and narrated by those who
are supposed to possess special opportunities j
for correct observation.
Among those who most deserve censure
in this falsification of history is the host of
correspondents for the daily and weekly
journals, Which ought to lie visited both on
employers and employed, the former of
wlrqm, to supply materia's for a morbid cu
riosity in their readers and to minister to
that sensational desire for news, which has
become a disease dl the public mind—pub
lish whatever can supply this stimulus. Not
only is the truth distorted by the represen
tations of these hired contributors to the
sensational sheet, but they frequently in
dulge in personal insinuation and imuenda
hurtle I to individual delicacy, besides dis
closing transactions which have
been no doubt "onmmnicated i n confidence.
11 these epistolary effusions are what
are called, ia neWD I ,,a .P er parlance,
s j , ' r y —tf they are pervaded by personalities
in relation to conspicuous men and dven fe
males —the more welcome they appear to be.
AU notions of delicacy are disregarded in
Huaisleimg to this depraved appetite."
These correspondents are scattered all over
the Union and form a large portion of the
literary corps of the press.
We would not be thought to include in
tbis'censure the entire l>ody of correspon
dents of the daily and weekly press, many
of whom are educated persons conscious of
the responsibilities iuvoived in the relation
they have assumed towards the public.—
But a large body of them cannot be deemed
better than paid slanderers who are corrupt
ing the sources of intelligence, and injuring
public morals by the violation of those lessser
mondities which owe their existence to the
purity of the press. We consider a serious
stab as having been given to journalism in
tlie United States by the correspondence
w hich has sprung lip during the war.
Tim Eiiscofal Church North and South.
A Washington letter says in reference to the
refractory bishops South that "the President
has no idea of ‘running the churches' in
Dixie, and they can therefore go ahead and
pray for whom they please. The feeling to
wards the Northern churches remains pretty
much as it did before the war, and though
conventions arc to be held for the purpose of
considering ‘the state of the church,’ it is not
believed that there will be any change from
the relations at present existing. In some
sections churches taken by military consent,
and occupied by Northern ministers, will
have to be given up, but in that event, I hear,
it is proposed to build others, provided the
needful can be raised for the purpose. If the
movement is successful, the North and the
South will both have their houses of worship
in the Sunny South, and that, too, without
any recognized union or fellowship existing
between them.”
Counterfeit One Dollar Treasury Notes
The Boston Herald says a dangerous counter
feit of the one dollar Treasury notes issued
by the general government has made its ap
pearance. Excepting a few minor discre
pancies the spurious note is an exact foe
siuii/c of the bill. The general appearance of
the bill is also very good. The green ink is
of a somewhat lighten shade than that used
on the genuine, and some parts of the note
looked . scratched and blurred. The figures
“1” on the scroll-work on the lower right
corner ot the note are printed in green ; in
the genuine they are white. The face of
Chase in the counterfeit is badly executed,
but otherwise the work is well done, and the
note well calculated to deceive.
Earthquake in Canada. —A smart shock
Os earthquake occurred at Ottawa, C. W.,on
the morning of tlie fid inst. The noise pro
duced is described as of “a loud rumbling
nature, resembling somewhat the souud of a
heavy lumber wagon over a rouglr stone
road. The sound continued perhaps a min
ute and a quarter, increasing gradually in
distinctness, and then murmuringly dying
away. The shock was sufficiently strong to
throw a lad, who was attending a sick pa
rent, from his seat. Every house in the vi
cinity shook to its vcTy foundation. Tlie
shock was also distinctly felt at several other
places. •
Chain Factory.— The Machias Union says
that Boston capitalists contemplate estab
lishing a factory for tlie manufacture of ves
sels' chains, wire and wire rigging, in 4»ne of
the eastefi towns ol Maine ; and oflers are
being made to have a part of the stock taken
there and secure the location of the factory
at Machias. It is stated that there is at
present no establishment in this country
where wire rigging is manufactured. We
derive our supply chiefly from England.
The city of Springfield, 111., is so overrun
witli blacklegs, burglars, garroters aud har
lots, male and female, who have congregated
to rob the soldiers, as they are paid off' and

that the Mayor, unable to stay the flood of
crime, has requested Gen. Cook, with the
military force under his command, to under
take the government of the city, and to deal
with tlie villians in a summary manner.
That city is therefore now under martial law.
Another Mexicas Loan#— The Liverpool
Courier of July 2(>th says :
The loan for Mexico which is already in

ULRIC DAHLGREN'.
HU {iurinl anil Exhumation —Aw Herelations —
Mir{iu‘jht Work oj Union Hen—Seeming the
AW,/. ,
[From tlie Richmond Republic, Aug. 5.]
The month of March, 18G4, is memorable
iu Richmond for one of the grandest Union
raids that up to that time had menaced the
Confederate capitol—a raid which was tlie
immediate precursor ot Gen. Grant's famous
campaign trom the Wilderness to James
Kiver. The history of this raid is too famil
iar to the minds of all of our readers to make
necessary any recapitulation of it, even if it
comported with our space. It is known that
Col. Dahlgren, after the attack on Richmond
on Tuesday, tlie Ist of March, did not suc
ceed iu forming a junction w ith Gen. Kilpat
rick, and wli'ic pushing through King and
Queen county, tow ard Gloucester Point, was
killed on the night of Wednesday, March 2,
near Walkerton. It is also known that his'
body was brought to Richmond, but. wbat
disposition was made of it by the Confeder
ate autborities was kept a mystery at the
time, ami tlie facts, even to this day have
never been published. We purpose to give
them to the public for the first time, vouch
ing for their entire autlicnUcity.
When intelligence was received in Rich
mond of the death of Col. Dahlgren, mes
sengers were dispatched to bring it to the
city tor identification. It reached the city on
Monday, March 7, by the York River Rail
road, and laid during that day at the depot,
where it was examined by large numbers of
persons. His death haci been caused by a
gunshot wound in the head. The little fin
ger of one hand had been cut off on the field
where he fell by someone anxious to se
cure, with the least trouble, a valuabte dia
mond ring. That night the body was carried
to Gen. Elzey's office, in Belvin's blpck, and
the next day, having been placed in a com
mon pine coffin, of the kind then used for
the burial of soldiers, which in turn was
placed in a box, and was transferred to Oak
wood Cemetery, a mile east of the city. The
hearse used on this occasion was a four
mule street wagon, and the attendants con
sisted of a Confederate officer of inferior
rank and two soldiers. Arriving at Oak
wood, which was the burial place of all
soldiers who died at Chimborazo, Howard’s
Grove, and other hospitals iu the eastern
portion of the city and suburbs, the negro
grave-diggers and other attendants about
cemetery were driven off and ordered to
absent themselves until notified that they
might return. One of the negroes, now liv
ing in the city, having his curiosity excited,
secreted himself in the woods near by, de
termined to see what was to be done. The
two soldiers dug a grave, placed the box in
it and covered it up. They then shouted to
recall the attendauts of the cemetery, and
getting into the wagon, returned to the city.
The only circumstance in the proceedings
that struck the negro us unusual,* was the
mystery observed and tlie circumstances of
the box, no corpse ever having been brought
there before except in a pine coffin; but
there having been a great deal of talk as to
wbat was to be done with the body of Col.
Dahlgren, he at once decided timt this could
be no other than the corpse of that officer,
lie, however, kept his opinion to himself at
the time.
The question, w’hat had become of the
body of Dahlgren? was the subject of in
quiry and conversation for many days in
Richmond, to be revived irom time to time
up to tlie day of the evacuation. And there
were many stories on the subject—that it had
been burnt, sunk in the river, &c. A city
paper of that day announced, with a solemn
and knowing air, that it would never be
found until the trump of doom should sound.
A number of Union men of the city, believ
ing it possible that it might be recovered,
were anxious to secure and preserve it for
the family of the deceased. Prominent
among them was Mr. F. W. E. Lohman, a
grocer doing business near the New Market.
Sir. Lohman at once began bis inquiries and
investigations—which, in the then state ot
popular feeling, it was necessary to conduct
with great caution—determined, at whatever
cost and risk, to ascertain its fate. Alter,
nearly a month’s patient and untiring in
quiry, he, with the assistance of Mr. Martin
Meredith’Lipscomb, whose business it was
to attend the interment of all the Union pri
soners who died at this post, made the ac
quaintance of the negro grave-digger whom
we have mentioned as being the sole specta
tor of the burial of Col. Dahlgieu. They
found him at Oakwood, pursuing his regular
business. When first approached on the sub
ject, tlie negro was very much alarmed, and
protested tiiat lie would have nothing to do
with the business. But, after repeated as
surances by Mr. Lipscomb, whom he knew
well, that he might rely upon Lohman and
that no harm should befall him, he consent
ed, on Mr, Lohman’s giving him a SIOO note,
to point out the grave. This he did by
walking near and casting a stone upon it,
while Lohman and Lipscomb stood at a dis
tance. He was afraid to employ any other
method lest he might excite the suspicion of
the superintendent of tlie cemetery or some
of tlie attendants. The grave lay among
thousands of those of Confederate soldiers.
Subsequently,, after a great deal of persua
sion and the promise of a liberal reward, the
negro agreed to meet Mr. Lohman at the
cemetery on the night of the tith of April, at
10 o’clock, and exhume the body.
The appointed night having arrived, Mr.
Lqliman, his brother, John A. Lehman, and
Mr. , Jpscomb, started for the cemetery in a
cart drawn by a mule. The night was dark
and stormy, ami well suited to conceal their
movements. The party left the city at nine
o'clock, and reached their destination about
ten, and there found waiting tor them the
gravedigger and two assistants. The negroes
being assured that all was right, began their
work of exhumation, the three white men
remaining with the cart outside the enclo
sure of the cemetery. The heavens were
hung with their deepest black; no object ten
tect distant could be distinguished, and no
sounds broke upon the loneliness of the place
save tlie howling of the winds and the chop
ping of the resurrectionist’s spade. Once the
mule, snuffing the tainted air of the city of
the dead, attempted to break away, but was
quickly quieted by a firm hand.
In twenty minutes from the .time the ne
groes began their work they approached the
cart, bearing between tiiem the coffin, which
being badly made, fell to pieces as they rest
ed it on tlie ground, it was then discovered
that the body bad not decomposed in any
perceptible degree. Mr. Loliman satisfied
himself of the identity of the corpse by pass
ing his baud over it. The little finger, torn
oil to secure the jewel it bore, and leg lost iu
battle, were missing. He paid the negro
with whom he had contracted $1,300, and
placing the body iu the cart, the party started
on their return. The mule, alarmed, as
animals ficquently are when drawing a
dead body tor the l'nut time, became difficult
of management, and, with the darkness of
the night, made tlie first part ol the expedi
tion one of no little peril. More than one
hour was spent in reaching tlie gifs lights of
the city on Church llill. It was part of the
plan to convey the body.to tlie house of Wm.
S. Rowlett, a Union man, living on Chelsea
Hill, a half mile northeast of the city, there
to remain until a metallic case could be pro
cured for it. From Church Hill, Mr. Leh-
man drove down Broad’strect to Seventeenth
street; tliencc up Seventeenth street to its
northern terminus, and thence up the hill to
I Mr. Rowlett’s, reaching the last place.at two
o’clock on the morning of the- 7th of April.
I Jlere the body was wrapped in a blanket,
and Mr. Lohmau came to the city in search
of a coffin, which he obtained by the aid of
Mr. Lipscomb. On his way into the city
from Rowlett’s, Loliman notified a number
ot persons of Union sentiments, among whom
were several Indies, where tbe body had been
placed, and they hurried out to see it. Sev
eral of these persons had seen Col. Dahlgren
while lie was exposed at the York River
Railroad depot, and immediately recognized
the body as his. The metallic coffin having
been procured, and tlie body placed in it, tlie
two Lohmans, at noon on the 7th, set out
with it, concealed in a wagon loaded with
young fruit Hues, for the farm of Robert or>
ricks, a Union man, living in Henrico, two
miles from Hungary Station.
At 4 o'clock that evening they reached Or
ricks's, and buried the body under an apple
tree, in a field, avoiding tlie grave yard for
fear of exciting inquiry, which might load to
discovery.
Tlie rest of this story may be told in a few
words. Orricks, some months after the sec
ond burial of Col. Dahlgren, succeeded in
getting through the Confederate lines, and
seeking an interview w ith Commodore Dabl
gren, informed him of what had been done
to secure the body of his son. The corpse
of the soldier laid in this, its second grave,
until the evacuation of Richmond, when an
order having been sent for it by tlie War De
partment, it was again disinterred by the two
Lolimons and sent to Washington.
It has been our object to lilt the veil of
mystery from an obscure and interesting
event, Iu doing so, we have confiued our
selves to facts strictly relative to -tlie secret
fates of Col. Dahlgren’s body from the time
of its arrival iu Richmond, which, until after
the capture of the city, remained, to all ex
cept the few individuals named by us in the
course ot our narrative, one of the most im
penetrable mysteries of the war. Many Con
federate officials knew that the body had
been deposited at Oakwood, but they were
ignorant to the last that it had ever been re
moved. It has at last found its last earthly
resting place.
From EUyli mid 1 lir Wont India Islands.
A correspondent of the Washington Chroni
cle, writing from Kingston, Jamaica, gives
some interesting information in reference to
affairs in Hayti and the West India Islands,
lie says;
It is of public notoriety that the negroes of
Hayti are in revolt against the liberal and
patriotic GeffVard, but it may not be so well
understood in the United States that the great
object of the insurgents is to put down tlie
whites who, to their mind, have of late ac
quired too much intluence. The blacks dis
trust tlie quadroons lully as much as they do
tlie pure whites, and every few years they
have a “rising,” if not a full-fledged revolu
tion, to drive the “mixed bloods” out of
power; but each effort has invariably termi
nated in reducing the chances of negro su
premacy permanently still lower. The lsland
of St. Domingo is rapidly sliding out of ue
groe rule, and we think here that it will
some day become tlie emerald gem of these
seas.
Cuba looks very calm on the surface ; but
the Cuban* are troubled with negro con
spiracies and plans of insurrection, of which
you never hear in the North, because the'
press is muzzled, and the planters are not
willing to tell the extent of their fears. I
mention these facts because I have seen
parties both from St. Domiugo and Cuba who
have come over to Jamaica to dfetablish coffee
and sugar plantations, on account of the in
creasing circad of a war of races, which they
fear will soon break forth in Cuba, and lead
to the extermination of the white race in all
the Antilles.
Here in Jamaica we have happily outlived
the day of such anxieties. We have come
to a peaceful conciliation of interests, and I
believe there is not another spot on this con
tinent where the black labors more cheaply
and cheerfully for his white employer, or
where the white gentleman can build up a
pleasant home for himself and liis, on easier
terms. The laws give political equality, but
social distinctions still exist to a large extent.
A black must be an educated, honorable man
witli ample means, and the warmest desire
to maintain the position of a gentleman, to
be well received in white families as a social
visitor; whereas a very moderate percentage
of tile same requirements would open those
doors to any white man.
There is a large sprinkling of Cubans
coming over lately. A fear that “the ever
faitliful isle” is on the eve of a terrible con
vulsion is spreading abroad, aud those enter
prising Yankees who have invested in Cuban
slaves, and sugar plantations, had better look
closely into the condition of tilings. Only a
month back the police of Santiago de Cuba
discovered and punished—silently hut with
terrible severity—a negro conspiracy for the
extermination of the whites in the coffee
hills, five or six leagues back ol' that city.—
Four of the ringleaders escaped in a fishing
boat, aud landed safely in Jamaica. The
islands are but one hundred miles apart, and
such escapes from Cuba to Jamaica are not
unusual. No one notices these refugees, but I
have at “times had conversations with several
of them in tlieiryilautatiou Spanish—the only
tongue they can use—aud I glean the same
story from all. Thc-negroes of Cuba know
that slavery has been abolished in the United
States, and that their Dominican neighbors
have driven the Spaniards out of their Island,
aud they expect to do the same thing
for themselves. They know, also, that
the native born wdiites of Cuba will en
courage and lead the blacks iu the war
against their Spanish masters, as tlie
whites of St. Domingo have done, for all are
imbued with a tierce common hatred of Spain.
I hardly expect this warning to command
much attention ; but I cannot refrain from
sending it from this near staudpoin to those
Americans who have interests to guard in
Cuba. Cuba and the Cubans will as surely
revolt from Spain within the next, two years
as the Dominicans have expelled the best
army Spain has ever had in these waters
during the two past years. It will be done
in Cuba as it was done in St. Domingo by
the cordial union aud combined efforts of
the blacks and native born whites. Spain
need not lose real wealth aud power by the
change if she knows how to convert unwill
ing colonists into profitable customers for
her products and manufactures, but the
change is inevitable and not far off. C.
