. atlj fuss. ater —Official Paper j&T CITY CIRCULATION. AXJOtT 8T A , QA. « .ATURDAY MORNING-—- Jll, y ,4 > 18M The War in Europe. Io a practical point of view, we of tfce South have, comparatively, but little interest in the war now in Europe. As an event of history, an occurrence of the times, however, we may take inter est enough in it to ehquire into the causes, and to watch the results as they appear. We presume that our readers are already familiar with the causes of the present war, which is now drenching the finest fields of Europe with blood. These are to be found in the ambition of men more than in any just cause for a resort to arms. The German Diet is the tribunal where the differences be tween Austria and Prussia should have been settled; but they preferred the gladiatorial^ena: the sword instead of the pen. Iris, after all, a fratricidal strife, in which German meets German, and victory or defeat must perch, in cither case, upon a German standard and over German arms. But another contestant takes the field. The Italian unity, looking upon the present contest as a favorable opportunity to secure Venetia, takes up arms against Austria, and joins in buttle with her ancient and present foe. Already several battles have been fought with varying success. In nearly all of them both parties claim a victory. But Italy admits the defeat of her army in the first contest with the Austrians for a strategic position on the Mincio. It is thought that this movement by Victor Emmanuel was for the purpose of keeping the Austrians concentrated in that portion ot territory called “the Quadrilateral, 1 ’ in order to secure an important advantage in another section. At any rate, he was defeated and fell back, but it is contended that he suc ceeded in his object of keeping the enemy concentrated. The Hanoverian army had surren dered and was sent home, All the ele ments of war are at work, and the war rages with intense fury. The result will be a change in the map of Europe. One or the other of the several con testants will be despoiled of a portion of its territory, while to one or the other the amount so despoiled will be added. Population will be somewhat dimin ished. Grief and poverty will afflict the land. Debts will be piled up mountain high ; and ruin and starvation will fill up the measure of National woe. But what of all that ? The ambition of men will be gratified, the pride of others hu miliated, and that is, in the eyes of an unscrupulous and ambitious world com pensation enough for all the horrors of war. Mrs. Julia Dean Haynk. —We find the following item going the rounds of our exchanges: It is said Julia Dean Hayne obtained a Mormon divorce in Salt Lake City, and married a mau „who had got rich in Mon tana. We doubt very much the correctness of the above statement Mrs. Hayue (then Julia Dean) married several years ago, in the city of Charleston, a young physician by the name of Llayne. The alliance was generally believed to have been one purely of affection, and we have never heard to the contrary. Miss Julia was a lady of rare beauty in her maiden days, an accomplished ac tress, and a great favorite, as all pretty women generally are. She it was who so captivated John Minor Botts that he followed her from Canada to California, and it is generally believed, tendered her his heart and hand. He was then a member of Congress, but the young lady did not reciprocate, and peremto rily declined the “tempting” offer.— Petersburg ( Ya.) Express. Re-Estaotishment op Slavery —A Remarkable Document. —One David Qninn, of Chicago, has just published, in pamphlet form, a memorial to Congress advising the re-establishment of negro slavery. It presents the subject under a new phase, in which it has probably not heretofore been considered. It holds that men are divided into species and have different natures; that the negro finds his civil liberty in his slavery; and that the white man undergoes change in America which makes slavery essential; that the French in Canada and the Spaniard in Mexico have degenerated, and that the native people of the Northern United States are now three inches less around the chest than the Europeans. The author brings forward many historical and scien. tific facts in support of his argument. —No title can be acquired to prop erty won at a raffle, according to a Bal timore Court. PARAGRAPHS. —Men show particular folly on five different occaaions: When they estob liah their fortunes on the ruins of an other ; when they expect to excite love by coldness, and by showing more marks of dislike than affection; when they wish to become learned in the midst of repose and pleasure; when they seek friends without making any advances of friendship; and when they are unwilling to succor their friends in success. —A horticulturist advertised that he would supply all kinds of fruit trees and plants, especially pie plants of all kinds. A gentleman thereupon sent him an order for one package of custard pie seed, and one dozen mince pie plants. The gentleman promptly filled the order by sending him four geese and a small dog. —Here is an epitaph for yon: “Here lies the body of Lady O’Looney. She was the great niece of Burke, commonly called the sublime ; she was blind, pas sionate and deeply religious, also paint ed in water colors, and sent several pieces to the exhibition. She was first cousin to Lady Jones, and of such is the Kingdom of Heaven. —ls we work upon marble, it will perish ; if we work upon brass, time will efface it; if we work upon our im mortal minds—if we imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and our fellow men—we engrave upon these tablets something that will brighten to all eternity. —At a fancy dress ball in Paris re cently, a lady was seen in a very low bodied dress while floating, and waving an abundance of green gauze. She was politely asked by a gentleman what she personated? “The sea, monsieur.” “At low tide, then, madam.” The lady blushed and the gentleman smiled. —A prominent citizen of Ulster county, N. Y., has been convicted of poisoning a first horse against which one of his own was pitted for a heavy stake. The poisoned animal won the race, however, but died shortly after. —“I lost my appetite,” said a gigan tic fellow, who was an eminent per former on the trencher, to a friend. “I hope," said the friend, “no poor man has found it, for it would ruin him in a week 1” —Friend, imitate the example of a locomotive. It runs along, whistles over its work, and yet never takes anything but water to wet its whistle with. —What a happy fate was that ot Jonah in the whale, compared to many who find themselves in everybody’s mouth. —A comical Canadian lately posted a placard on his chicken yard which read thus : “Roost high! the Fenians are coining 1” —The manner of advertising for a husband in Java is by placing an empty flower pot on the portico roof, which is as much as to say, “A young lady is in the house—husband wanted. —Cheese, in the manufacture of which copper and brass utensils were employed, has poisoned several families in Zanesville, Ohio. —Mr. Pike, of Cincinnati, has de termined to erect in Cincinnati an im mense Merchant's Exchange of the finest style, instead of an opera house. —Sharks have come down on the bathers in Mobile harbor. A young man was bitten in two and then eaten the other day. —A woman at Titusville dropped her baby from a car window to save it from an apprehended rail road col lision. —Humility glorifies God ; pride dis honors Him ; humility makes men to be like angels; pride makes angels to be come devils. —ls you have gone half crazy at not having won your sweetheart as a wife, remember you might have gone the other half if you had succeeded. —“I stand upon the soil of freedom,” cried a stump orator. “No,” cried his shoemaker, “you stand in a pair of shoes that have never been paid fori” —The Italians of New York are raising funds in that city for the benefit of Italy. —A robber’s cave has been discov ered in Cornwall, N. Y., fitted up with beds, cooking utensils, etc. —All the doctors of the State were in Portland, Me., one day recently, and Portland survived. —Thieves in the guise of internal revenue officers inspect the Gotham silver. —An English writer contends it may yet be possible to photograph the light ning’s flash. —Chapel Hill, N. C., University has conferred the degree of I.L.D. upon President Johnson. —Some Frenchmen are endeavoring to have capital punishment abolished in I that country. LATEST HEWS.
