1v.rs ana Rumors of Wars.

Sultan of Turkey Since 1915, no general war mas
deluged the world with blood nor taxed the ener-
gies of its leading powers in the work OF mutuai
destruction This is an unusual cessation OF arms
and we believe in modern history an unprecedented
one but, although long, not sufficiently so to con-
trad;ct the nyarable rule that each generation OF
men must have at least one war for the time, thir-
weight years. is, under the increased average
length of life, barely generation That which VII
messed the closing scenes and tainted under the ex-
haustion of the great struggle arising out OF the
French revolution, has but passed away, and now
another has arisen, unacquanted by experience with
the horrors of that upon which they 80 blndy rush
recruited by the progress OF wealth under long
peace and exasperated, it may be, by the many d.
plomatic difficulties which have been patched up for
its preservation 1t is, therefore, not only possible
but most probable that universal war Will spring
up at no distant day, and that too, from causes
which would not have led to hostilites a generation
which remembered the horrors and had suffered
from the exhaustion of protracted contest The
world has had it's breathing time, has repaired its
losses recruited its armies and is ready for another
burst

Minister than Aberdeen, the advocate of meekness
and conciliation The people of France are ripe for
war and Russia has reused the half brutal and half

Turkey half dead, as she is, resounds with military

it's oppression-the upheavngs of society on the
Continent of Europe within the last four years, ex-
hibt an amount of restless, yet suppressed energy
which must find outlet, or rend the body polite
within which it is enclosed What is shere, them
to render war Notwithstanding at all equal in
power to the influences which seem to indicate, if
not compel opposite result This generation,
like all which preceded it, must have its fght-it
must disspate and It's wild oats and then, like
an old man, sit down and nurse its infrmities, and
mourn over its youthful indiscretions. The strug-
gle may not come Immediately, but think it is
bound to come, and the the better for the
liberal, or comparatively liberal powers.
One striking and observable feature in the present
state of things is, that the question of peace war

infuence-with her it remains to say what shall
follow; and with her, in all her movements, will be
found Austria and Prussia. Let them fight. They
are bound to fight. Young Europe and &c Young
