THE WABHIN6TON GAZETTE. _ Washington. Wilkes County, Qa. The European Crisis - ' Tlileyear i., m all probability, destined to be antaamAreble in the hirioiy of tb* world ae tbo lest The clouds of rat which hare eo long low ered orer this oontioent, had scarcely yet hen dispelled, when they commenced gathering, in ewinoue gloom, orrr all Europe. The bopeeof aroiding a general war among the Bttions of the “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* rrnd motivee for all are never promulgated to the world. Bloodshed among nation always commences with fa Ire hood. The quarrel be tween Austria and Ruteia—* quarrel between two thierss for a dirisloo of their spoil—waa not In reality sufficiently Important to involve their neighbors, and eoold bavs been easily settled bad there not been potent influence* at work far be neath the surface, There aits on the throne of Franc* the fore naost man of all the world—one f hoe* career been more wonderful even than that of hi* g»at uncle. From a position but little above in femy. for the moot of his life unknown save to the police authorities of London end New York and remarkable only for some foolish re rotation ary escapade* at the head of some doaeo cracked brained eotbushute, he ha* risen to be arbiter of destinieepf Europe—-no diplomatist wields his pen but by his permission, no armies muster When be prohibits. By lib beck and nod kings move, anxious ambassadors watch his impassive countenanee, and listen eagerly for hi* words, few but full of momentous tignifleenc*. , This men baa Juet spoken and in the short sen. tenpeof half-a-demon words betrayed the whole eeeret of the cause of the vast armament* going an among the nations. That sentejeo has been Mid to have resounded over Europe Ilk* a can non shot. At tbo sound, fortune*, the reward* of years of industry and enterprise, went down with a sudden crash and a commercial crisis, un paralleUed in intensity and suddeness shook the 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 disastrous effects. The securities of the Potted States which had become eeoght after in Europe were returned and in amounts of million*; gld dopreciatad until the Tteasury which had for aumetim* be u cfioially succeeded iaoontroling the premium lost its power over It, and ita vain at tempts now to continue its control are beginning to result disastrously by making tb* demand for it abated to be moat cheaply supplied from this country and thus encouraging exportation.— These and other SSISII, Make the weeds *V IV*- rot-uoN felt even to the most remote plantation in Qeergta- • Urns* weeds, spoken in a remote end intlguifl esut French village, but echoing through the world were simply, “I detest the treaties oflSll* Simple end few indeed to cause such fearful agi- UtiiHh but their deep significance is well under etoed in Europe.

By them aa Umolable balance of power was established, and the BooxaratTt fam ily forever excluded from tho French throne, and Franc* herself made to reeoil from her ancient end natural boundary of the Rhine. These pa per shackles upon hie power and ambition Naso ixot may well “detest,” end hie utterances, like the short speech to Austria* embassador ou the eve of the Italian war, mean something more tlien quiet detestation—they bod* a determina tion to destroy these treatise a consequent warm which the map of Europe shall be reoon atruetwl The world knowei. ha. the power •nd tfc* wifi to attain hi. object, that he ha. wmitad with steady and prolonged patience for We opportunity, it has mme end he will not let t pres though Enfiend may continue pUeoudv to implore him to maintain the public peace and Austria, compassed with enemies, bravely and unyieldingly stand at bay. Such is the true esuwof the warlike agitation that now sway, the Europew people. Not. quarrel about a petty duchy, but the ambition of one man already possessed of power uaparalelled Hi modern times secretly urges on the crisis— 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.

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.
