The Military and Financial Resources or
the Four Great European Powers-Russia.
Austria, Prussia and France.
In view of the great approaching crusade Of
despotism against republcanism, on the continent
OF Europe, we have prepared an interesting synop-
Sis Of the military and financial resources of the
four great powers which stand out in high relief as
likely to be the chief actors in the great drama
about to be played. Some idea may be formed,
from view of these tables, of the immt nse re-
sources of the despots and will be seen at what
fearful odds republican France will have to meet
such a terrible and powerful foe. We spoke, in a
former article of journal, of the duty of repub-
lcan America in tn IS impending crisis; and we
are glad to see symptoms of feeling among the
people, and the beginning of movement which
we trust to see spread through the Union.
Nothing, perhaps, is better calculated to call the
mind to serious consideration and Just apprecl-
ton of the terrible struggle about to begin in
Europe, than view of the subjoineG tables and
statistics One can scarcely refrain from shudder
ing at the reflection that Russia, Austria, and Prus-
sia, can, and probably will, if necessary, bring
nearly eighteen hundred thousand men into the
field to crush Hungary, and then put down all the
little republics of Germany, and, lastly, the great
republic of France. What nation or people, singy,
can stand against such confederacy! We
think the crisis is great and imminent we there
fore publish the following important statistics, by
way of sounding the tocsin in America, in order
that the friends of the freedom of mankind through
ont the world, may learn and be aware that freedom
is now threatened more fatally than ever was
known in the annals of the world:-

Thus the whole military force of Russia in Eu-
rope, consisting as above of the regular army and
the Imperial Guard, constitute together pewer OF
GG5, $40 men, which is equal to more than twelve
large armies of $4,000 men each, well supplied
with cannon and artillery.
Added to this, Russia has large army in Cau-
casus, amounting to $50, l67. She has also hordes
of Cossacks in the plains of Asia, ready and eager
to serve which are not estimated In the above, but
whose NUMBER it is estimated, does not fall far short
of 100000.

News FROM CALIFoTNIA.-We expect every day,
by the steamer from Chagres, late news from Cali
ionla, with full and ample correspondence from
many OF the persons who went there among the
FIRST emigran's, and probably some letters from our
original correspondents, in addition. This journal
was the first that had regular correspondence from
California, long before it became part of the
United States. The gentleman who volunteered
this correspondence several years ago, is one of
the largest property holders there, and was the
first to visit the mines after their discovery, and
gave us not only full account Of the wonderful
pacers but sent the first specimen of California
gold ever seen in Wall street, or in this city. The
accounts which we expect by the next steamer
will be very interesting in every point ofview.

in another part of this days paper curious state
ment, or disclosure, or confession, which has just
been published by his Eminence, Bishop Doane
himself, touching his debts and dclinquencies. 1t
is very pentent paper, and credtable to the good
heart and better feelings of the pious Bishop He
has been great sinner IN matters of business-in
multiplication, addition, and subtraction, an. par
ticularly in the rule of squarlng accounts. lie

and hands in empty breeches pockcts-he con-
fesses his sins-hs asks forgiveness; and as one
of the good fathers of the only recognised church
in these latter days, we beg leave to pronounce
forgiveness on his transgressions. We must inilict
upon the repentant Bishop, however, according to
the canons, as penance for his sins, the task of
reading over, every morning and evening, for SIX
months TO come, the laws of New Jersey, for the
collection of small debts due to butchers, bakers,
and confectIoners That's all. Let all beware

The Wilmot provlso quarrel has answered its pur-
pose, and Mr. Benton now shows that no difference
exists between the two sections, and that they may
unite soon as their personal difficulties are
settled IN the several States, and terms OF agree
ment made that will be satisfactory to each. The
wings themselves aiding this movement, and
especially are they assisting in the reelection of
Mr. Benton to the Senate, in which place thay will
find him just as sturdy an antagonist as he has
been for the last twenty-five years.

a New Poison.-Persons addicted to
suicide, says Noah's Messenger, will be
pleased to learn that a new poison, which
will extinguish life even more rapidly than
p~russic acid, has recently been added to
the list of useful discoveries. The basis
of the poison is the sugar principle in soils.
The saccharine matter is subjected to the
action of refrigerated sulphuric and nitric
acids, and the result is an article which
instantly communicates an immense velo-

when a boy. When asked how he got
his riches, he replied, "My father taught
me never to play until my work for the day

an hours work to do in a day l must do
that the first thing, and in a half an hour.

Charahy.-ln the year 1869, John the
Second, Duke de Bourbon, instituted an
order of chivalry. One of the statutes of
it is curious, apd shows the high opinion
he entertained of the influence of the
female sex upon the virtue and happiness
of mankind. According to this statute,
the knights, were obliged to pay due res>
pect to all ladies', both married and I'M
married, and never to suffer anything
'derogatory to their reputation to be said in
their presence; ''for," adds the same
statute, "those who speak i'll of women
have very little honor ,and (ttottheir disgrace
be it m%entioned) say of that sex-which
cannot revenge itself-what they would
not dare to say of a man; for from wo~
