war aIsG GGttOsa.

1t seems HOW TO lie unequvocaIly understood
that war is declared between the Western
Powers ani Russia, and that hard blows must
soon be interchanged. All the horrors of the
past are to be increased by all the numerous
aprliances TO war of modern science and in
vcntion. Where the end will be, or what it
will lie, none can predict. How the interests
of this country are to be affected remains also
to be developed. Prudence on the part Of our
Government may keep us from being cmbrol
cd, vet so extensive and complicated are our
commercial interests, that with a due regard
to the proper and parental protection Of the
rights and privileges of our citizens, it will be
difficult to keep alool from the general melee.
We need now at the head of national affairs
something more than mere trading politicians
mere partizans who are inadequate to maintain
the asccndancy Of their own principles, much
less to conduct in Il stateSmanlike manner any
complicated question with foreign natious-

of our own State, it seems to us that Cotton

war in Europe. 1t already has received Sc
rous blow, and must suffer still more. Eng
land and France have had an extensive trade
with Russia and Turkey. The diversion Of
large amounts Of currency from the arts Of
peace to those of war, will affect the home
trades Of the first named countries. A!t"gcth-
er, the consumption of Cotton must be serious
" reduced, and our people should be prepar-
ing for it. e" Corn and other provisions may be
wanted to supply the beIIigcrcnts; while Hemp

home and abroad. This is the great staple OF

The timber trade too, will be active, as North

will be blockaded closely, and neither hemp

The Washington correspondent Of the n. Y. Herald
says that important adviccs have been received by
the last steamer by the State Department beyond a
proclamation issued by the British Government throw
ing open the coasting trade Of England to all nations,
doubtless with an expectation of reciprocity on our
part as England has for long time endeavored to in
duce the government of the United States to throw
open the trade between the Atlantic States and Cali

REVOLUTIONARY OFFICERS There is a bill
now before the Senate, introduced short time
since by Mr.. Evans, of South Carolina, land
whose able exposition of its provisions and
merits we hope soon to find room for,) which
proposes to make final settlement of the
claims Of the officers of the revolutionary army,
and of the widowsand orphan children ofthose
who died in the service. It proposes first to
give to the representatives of those officers who
were entitled to half pay for life, under resolu-
tionS of the Continental Congress, the amount
that would have been due up to the Sd Of
March, 1925, if the party lived so long, deduct
ing the amount received for Communication; al
So to the widows and orphan children of Off
GERS who were killed in battle or died in the
service, the seven years half pay promised by
the resolution of August "a, 1880; the claims
to be presented and adjudicated within ten
years, aud the decision ofthe accounting officer
to be final and conclusive; the provision not
to embrace the case ofany officer or his repre-.
sentative who may have received either half
pay or communication under any special act Of
Congress. The justice of such measure we
think cannot well be queStione 1t should
not be viewed us gratuity, but the imperfect
discharge Ola sacred obligation which the coun-
try is now abundanty able to meet.-National

PRESERVING BUTTER.-The farmers Of
Aberdeen, Scotland, arc said to practice the
following method of curing their butter,
which gives it great superiority over that Of
their ncghbors:
"Take two quarts Of the best common
salt, one ounce of sugar, and one ounce of COM
mon saltpctre take one ounce Of this con.po-
sition for one pound of butter, work it well
INTO the mass, and close it up for use. The
butter cured with this mixture appears of a
rich marrowy consistency, and fine color,
and never acquires a brittle hardness nor
tastes salty.-Dr. Anderson says: have
eaten butter cured with the above compost.
ton that has been kept for three years and
it was as sweet as at first. 1t must be noted
however, that butter thus cured reqaircs to-
stand three weeks or month before it is
used. If it is sooner opened, the salts are
not sufficiently blended with it, and some
times the GOODNESS of the nitre will be perceiy-
cd, which totally disappears afterwards.
