WAR DECLARED. The London Times has the
following comments on the actual declaration
of war by England and France against Russia
War is declared. A peace which has lasted
the unexampled period of thirty-nine years,
which many fondly hoped was to last as many
more, is at an end; andythe three most power
full states of Europe areyoncs. more engaged in
a struggle, the Duration the end, and the re-
suits of which no man can tell but which ID
too likely to produce disasters and sufferngs
Of which We mercifully spared the fore
knowledge. 1t is not for us to attempt to lift
the veil of futurity which must be sad in
many respects nor is there any need.
No alternative is left US; the decision has
been taken out Of our hands; and, unless We
would submit, with our allies, to cronch under
the insolent dictation of barbaric power, and
see the liberties of Europe disappear under the
tramp of the Cossack. we had no other course
than to do what has now been done in sad and
solemn FORM"

just such advice or rather, we'have requested
the Principal Of the High School, 20 urge such
advice upon the pupils under his charge. We
have used what influence we could to induce
scholars not to take up the ancient languages
at all unless they intend to get a. pretty thor

il is entirely untrue. that we have compelled
the pupil against his wishes and interests, to

The case of Horace Bonney, which has
been before our Court for the past three years
was finally disposed Of on Friday morning by
an acquittal. The charge against Bonney was
that he hsd been engagsd in passing counter
felt money md wiihin She past three years
he has been tried on diiiPredt jndicsments some
six time, aud several times convicted but
new trials have been grated, add his counsel
have persevered until NE discharge 81 their
client hss been Accomplished. HI. W.Paine,
Esq, of this city, has argued the different
cases before six juries, and three times before
the full rhenchsu This labor has been perform.
ed without reward. We venture the asser-
tion. that no other. lawyer in the State could
have conducted this case to so successful an
Unconstitutional Gazette
This man has been obliged to meet vast
amount Of prejudice in the community. He
has brother by the name Of Hartley Bonney,
who has been great counterfeiter and an in
mate of various prisons. We have no doubt
Horace has been obliged to bear much obloquy
belonging to his brother. Crime ought to be
punished, and we would not say word to
screen the guilty perpetrator of wrong upon
reason to believe the man was innocent of the
crime charged and attempted to be proved
against him. Horace has naturally gener-
Gus disposition, and heart which under vir-
tuous influences would lead him to generous
and virtuous deeds. The world has handled
him rather roughly, and it were not strange
that the light within had become somewhat
dimmed by its jostlings and injuries. When
the verdict Of not guilty, was pronounced by
the jury, the poor fellow was SO overcome
that he tainted. Horace is about thirty-fve
years of age, and has wife and child resid-
ing in Palermo in this State. He was one Of
Houston's patriots in the Texan war, and has
certificate Of honorable discharge signed by
the old hero.

The Clergy Relieved.

1t having been understood that on Fast Day
the mouths of two thousand clergYmen in New
England were to be opened against the Ne
braska bill, and the day having passed, we
are happy TO announce that great amount of
gas has escaped into thin air and the country
is safe. We know that in some pulpits in this
State, the whole country was made out to be
on the brink of ruin /; thunder almost equal TO
that of the Vatican rolled terribly from the sa-
cred place; i" the South " was represented as
a sanguinary monster with seven heads and
great many horns Senator Douglas was
made to run the gauntlet of the clergy's pike,
after being burnt in efigy, and was then cut
down and quartered by sacred hands Presi-
dent Pierce's administration was riddled
through and through by pointed arrows from
bows bent by kid-skin covered hands of cleri-
cal softness all going to make up some of
the most enlivening, polished and pointed
stump speeches the deacons and churches have
been delighted with since the great onset of
the New England priesthood in aid of FEEDER
alism and against running the Freedom of the
Seas of Britain in 1912.
These clergymen, who have such banker
ing after politics, were occupied altogether
on national sins the sins of the laity and
church were left all forgotten. Gov. Crosby s
intimation that personal deficiencies ought to
be seen to, was UNDECIDED, and the consequence
is that home sins are unrepented of, and the
"two thousand clergymen F" will have to be
busy in their own parishes for long time
firing arrows from short bow.
1t is too late in the day for New England
clergymen to set themselves up as safe politi-
clans for the people to follow. Their antece-
dents are too fresh in the mind. They tried
to anathematize JEFFERSON as the "burner OF
Bibles" but the sage of Monticello stands to-
day at proud height on the record of his
country's fame and glory. Many were the
keen thrusts aimed at the hero of New Or.
leans from the New England pull pit; but
JACKSON to-day stands side by side with JET
FERsoN. And this Fast Day exhaustion of
the political vocabulary Of pulpit politicians,
against the RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO GOVERN
THEMSELVES, against the doctrine of STATE
SOVEREIGNTY, and in favor of enlarging the
powers of FEDERAL GENERALIZATION, will
receive from the SOBER, SECOND THOUGHT OF
THE PEOPLE the same condemnation they gave
10 the slanderers of Jefferson and jackson.
