FOREIGN NEWS.
By reference to our telegraphic head it will
be perceived that the Europa has at length
arrived; that there has been another decline
in breadatnffs; that cotton has slightly ad-
vanced and that the prospect Of war is still
more lowering. A few facts are indeed stated,
upon which . faint hope Of Cancellation may
be based; but the general tenor Of the news is
far from encouraging such . hope. The dis
asters and distresses to the respective armies,
and TO the inofensive inhabitants Of the Prin-
CAPABILITIES, are of most deplorable character
When we reflect that this wretched work is all
done in the name of religion we cannot but be
amazed at the little, progress the world has
made after the lapse Of 80 long period since
the dark era Of the Crusaders themselves.
The MYSTERY ExPLAINED.-A Roman Cath
olic writer in Franco furnishes in the Unipers,
an explanation Of the prevalence Of spirit rap
ping in the United States, to which it is to be
hoped due attention will be paid:
eminent theologians explain why the devil
has more liberty in the United States than in
Europe where the holy sacrifices of the mass
are celebrated at vast distances apart, and
where 30 many millions of men, descendants
Of Pedestrians, have no religion whatever and
are not even baptized. This rarity of the sacra-
ments leaves the devil greater sway over men
he dares to come nearer the earth, not being
driven afar by the frequent immolation Of the
Divine victim, and he enters into communion
ton with the human race by the mysterious
means which God leaves open to him.
A CORRESPONDENCE Rotts's recent let
ter on the Nebraska bill having been very
roughly reviewed in the Richmond Enquirer,
that gentleman has addressed note to Mr. X
A. Pryor, one Of the editors Of that paper,
charging him with the authorship of that OBJ
jectionable article, complaining of its abusive
character, and inquiring whether the intent Of
certain portions Of it was to impeach his per-
sonal honor and integrity Mr. Pryor replies,
ayowing the authorship Of the article, affirm
Ing that Mr.. Bottss public course on the Ne
braska question justified the severity with
which il was criticised, but stating that the
article was intended only to reflect on Mr..
Botts's public course, and not to impeach his
honor or integrity. This explanation Mr.. Bolts
accepts as satisfactory, and requests the publ
cation Of the correspondence.
