The European Crisis - '

“old world” grow bister every day—s war
which must involve the continent.
The ostensible are by no means the real causes
of this general European conflagration Tb*

to the world. Bloodshed among nation always
commences with fa Ire hood. The quarrel be

and remarkable only for some foolish re rotation

money markets every where, Even on this aid*
of the Atlantic, far removed at w* may teem
from the scene of hi* power, hi* worde produced

Truly, it seems that the speculations of wane vie
ionaries were about to come true, and that “Ar
mageddon” is not far off, hut that the battle of
natioo. is not to be fought, a. wane of them say
between the follower, of (he Cross and those of
the Crescent. On the eontra.y Christian, seem
to be the only people particularly anxious to cut
each others throats, the Mahometan and the Pa
gan are at peace among themselves.
W* have not space to speculate on the effect
that a general European war will have upon our
interest, and prosperity. It is a problem diffi

such unprecedented circumstances all anticipa

XASBATITB »T Ol* MEDICAL ADVISE*.
Dr. -Hunter McGuire has furnished the Rich
mond Medical Journal with a detailed account
of the last hours of Stonewall J sekson. It ta
erpecially interesting, as tb* writer was Jack
eon's medical attendant.
He says that after the fetal wound was re
ceived. end Jackson was being supported from
the field, be pushed aside tbe men who were
holding him up, stretch >d himself to his full
bight, and cried feebly, yet distinctly enough to
be he ird above the din of battle, “ Gen, Pender,
you must hold on to the field, you must hold out
to the last.” This Was his final order upoo the
field. He was then pieced upon a Utter and
token to the Wilderness Tavern, which waa rued
m a hospital.
Chloroform was then administered, and as he
began to feel it* effects, end its relief to the pain j
he wa* suffering, he exclaimed, “What an infinite j
blearing,” and bontianed to repeat the word
'Messing'’ until he became insensible. The
round ball (su:h as is used for the smooth-bore j
Springfield musket) which bed lodged under the
skin upon tbe back of bis right hand, was ex- I
traded first. It had entered tb* palm, about
the middle of the bend, and had fractured two
of the bones. The left arm wa* then appelated, j
about two inches below the shoulder, very rapid
ly, and with slight leas of Wood, Ibe ordinary 1
circular operation having been made. There
were two wounds in this arm, the first and most
serious was about three inches below tbe shoul
der joint, the ball dividing the main artery sad
fracturing the bone. The eeeend was several j
inches in length, a ball having entered the out
side of the forearm, an inch below tbe elbow,
came out upon the opposite tide, jnst above the
wrist Throughout the whole of the operation, !
and uotil all dressings were applied, be coatinu
ed insensible. Two or three slight wounds of
the skin of his face, received from tbe branches j
of trees when his hors* dashed through the j
woods, were dressed simply with isinglass plart
er. During that day and the two or three .text
following he seemed to be doing well, baton
Thursday a change occurred, sad pleura-pneu
monia of the right side followed, H» wife tod
children were sent for, but he begun to rink.
On Saturday he wa* still worse. Is quota the
closing description verbatim; .

that it was better that he should be prep trad for
