War SignS.

As lar as we can judge from eNamina ton Of the
various accounts received by the Arctic, the signs
are more indicative of war The 81. Petersburg
respondent of the London Times, of July l, states
that the manifesto of the Emperor to the Russian
people originally written in the Russian language
and in that form distributed throughout the Empire.
Its language and its far more warlkc than
the French version published in the Court Journal
for the pcrusal of the other European courts. This
is regarded very significant of the real intentions
of the Emperor. 1t shows that while he is striving
to infame his people u the point, he is
cealing the fact from other nations-or that knowing
his people for war, nc is disposed to encourage
them without letting the fact bc known.
The recent proceedings of Austria too are Of the
highest significance, aud create the strongest suspi
cions that she is acting concert with Russia Those
two powers it is thought have agreed upon the par
titon Of the Turkish Empire, and have settled the
portion which each shall have. While Russia takes
possession Of Walachia and Moldavia on the Left bank
of the Danube Austria prepares to.approprate TO
herself Servia, Bosnia and other provinces on the
right bank As preliminary to quarrel and still far
Their to embarraSS the Porte, she has renewed some
old demands and exars two ports of the Adriatc on
the coast Of Epirus.
These demonstrations on the part of Austria have
excited the vcieSt sensations in London and Paris
They argue determination of the Northern despots
to awe up the Turkish empire and dispose of its
fragments, without word said to England and
France If this be the case, whatever repugnance
England may have to war-it seems to US, that hos
tilities are inevitable.

the organs Of the party in this state have kept
markably quiet on the subject. The Norfolk I7g1Ss

A Sad p,s.nre,n,m.,t

We had the pleasure Of announcing a short time
since that President Pierce would vi il Virginia this
summer and spend some time at Old Point. We
greet to see statement in the Washington papers, to
the contrary. The Wa hington Star says "rhe
President we have learned in a quarter in which
have confidence does not at present propose to leave
Washington again this season." The purpose Of the
Brgadier to remain his post and attend to his off,
cal duties rather than perambulse through the eoun
try electioneering tours for a second term sine.
his trip TO New York, is very commendable, we ad-
init, but had hoped, for the sake Of the Virginia
Democracy that he would for once in his life, cross
Mason Dixon's Line, and enjoy the hospitality of
old Virginia We feel confident that it would have
been attended with good results to our Democratic
friends Of this State, if they could only have condo
scended so far as to smother their wrath for while,
toe bygones be bygones, play the agreeable to his
Excellency, and give him good old fashion Virginia
welcome. Ii would have soitened the Brigadicr'S
heart towards them, il il is not harder than the
neither milestone, and removed some of the unfortu
nate prejudice he has become imbued with against
the grea; Democracy Of the old Dominion, unless he
is more uhgrateful Yankee than we had supposed
the granite hills of New Hampshire even, could pro-
duce. How far the pride and chivalrous spirit OF the
Virginia Democracy would have suocuabed to con-
Sidcrations of policy and inornate appetite for
'Spoils' interesting occasion As that of

such an important extent, in making, not pre-,

not supplicatory tone Of the organs Of the party

withheld from his HighneSs that enthusiastic reception
which forlorn hope yet TO come in for share OF

and only chance. But the President, it seems, Ia,
