Prophetic. The editor of the Raleigh Standard
claims have predicted, several months prior to the
meeting of the National Democratic Convention, at
Baltimore, that Gen. Pierce would be the nominee
and he produces the testimony of some Democratic
editor in Virginia to that effect Mr. Holden wishes
be considered prophet, in order that he may profit
by 1t. We learn that he has gone pilgrimage to
Concord, in order suppose, to relate this wond-
erfu prophecy to the President elect. This is great
country. .4sheUiHe Spectator.
The Spectator is aUitty at the expense Of truth.
We do not expect to visit either Concord or Wash

Gen. Scott had been elected

IMpoRTANT FROM EUROPE.

By the steamer Arabia, which arrived at New
York on the 2sd, we have stirring news from Eu-
rope.
An Instruction has taken place in Milan, Italy,
which lasted from the 9th to the 8tll The insur-
rection, it is stated, had been queled. Thepatri-
OTIS attacked the barracks and it is said, extermin-
ated the garrison. They used knives and daggers,
having but few firearms. Risings were looked for
elsewhere, in Hungary well as in Italy, but the
accounts are vague and contradictory. Austria and
France were sending troops to Rome and Lombar-
dy. Proclamations of Kossuth and Mazzini were
posted in the City of Milan. Mazzini was in Swift
IN England. Much excitement
prevailed in Italy and at Paris.
Cotton had slightly declined. Breadstufs were
improving. Sugar active, but no change in
price. Turpentine had advanced.

NEW YORK POLITICS.

the truce declared between the two fac
tons of the New York Democracy during the
Presidential canvass, has been broken and
the warfare renewed as facely as ever
The immediate cause of strife is the appoint
mcnt Of MIR. Marcy as Secretary Of State
Marcy, formerly Hunker ia now a Barn
burner, but his appointment is said to be ac-
ceptable to neither faction. The Hunkers
wanted the Office for Ex-senator Dickinson,
and the Albany corr espondent of the New
York Tribune says, large award of the sub
ordinate Offices to that faction will be neces-
sary, if President Pierce hopes for glimmer-
ing of that "union and harmony" Of which
Gov. Marcy and his advocates have taught
HIM to dream. But while the distribution of
the Offices has stirred up the strife, the slave
ry question, which was formerly prominen t
cause OF dissention, is no. forgotten. The
Bstdfp Repabiic says that the radical De-
mocracy of New York do not now believe, nor
did they when the Presidential nomination
was made, that the Fugitive Slave Law.
enacted under the Fillmore Administration,
was constitutional, and thai when it was en-
dorsed by p'rtitn of the Baltimore Con-
ventlon, the radical Democracy of N. York
repudiated that endorsement and, moreover.
that it was repudiated in the columns of that
paper IN unqualified terms. Upon the sub
Ject OF "the spoils,' the National Democrat,
"a partlzan of Dickinson, we presume, y SWELL
ing with patriotic indignation, says ssThe
time has come when il is our duty to take
higher ground than that Of Uaion for the
sake Of oNre." that ssthc most reckless and
most dangerous men in the world will unite
for spoils, the great principle of thieves, rob
beers and banditti'- and that "the whole
head is sick and the whole heart is faint with
this reckless, unprincipal, damnable scram-
bic for Office"

THE DEBT OF THE COUNTRY ABROAD.

4 resolution has been adopted in the Sem
ate of the United States, on motion of MIR.
Broadhead Of Pennsylvania, to ascertain the
amount Of American stock held by foreign
crs.
The discussion of the Resolution developed
facts, which must have an important bearing
upon the Legislation of the country upon the
subject of the Tarif-the amount OF the du-
ties and their character, whether ad Uaiorem
as now, or Specif jim reference to the neces-
sity of some check upon the increasing amount
Of our foreign debt, in order not only to pre-
vent pecuniary revulsion, but to furnish
greater encouragement TO the domestic inte-
rests Of tse country.
The excess Of imports over exports for the
last fiscal year, is estimated to be $780,
222-to pay which, we exported specie to the
amount OF $37 100000, exclusive of the gold
which went directly from California to for
eign countries. The residue of the balance
against us has been discharged or settled by
the transmission of the stocks of States cities
and Railroads. Our present entire in debt
edness abroad, is estimated at S300,000,-
600
