OPINION OF THE BRITISH PREss.-The
English Press admits that hopes of peace
have fled, and that no assistance can be ex-
pected from Austria, and but little from the
rest of Europe; consequently that France and
England must fight it out. The London
Times publishes an article expressing these
views. The Times has also an editorial on
behalf of the government, stating that it is
impossible to peruse the official documents of
the Vienna Conference without seeing that
Russia was never in earnest in her pretended
desire for peace. Some, however, think DIFF
ferently; and Earl Grey, in the House of
Lords, has given notice of n motion for 2lst
inst, that an address be sent to the Queen,
deploring the failure of negotiations, and
stating, as the opinion of Parliament, that the
proposals of Russia were such rs to afford n
fair prospect Of concluding peace, by which
all the original objects of the war might have
oeen gained, and by which the allies nigh.
have obtained all the advantages which can
be reasonably demanded from Russia. Mines
Gibson made similar motion in the House
of Commons.

WHY DoS'r They LEAvE!-Recently, in
town not very far distant, several gentle.
men were talking on the American question,
and condemning the practice of foreign gov
erpments shipping their criminals and pau

months only from the "Gem of the Sea-" who
happened TO be within hearing, rather aston.
ished the crowd by remorking: "An' be ia.

why don't they lave it!'' This was clincher,
and Of course the conversation had very
abrupt termination.

sB- Principles are vital and ndestructible.
They cannot die. They cannot be ignored.
They may indeed be renounced or abandoned
by former advocates and adherents; but even
in such case, they will assert and re-assert
themselves. And their operation in practical
administration may be, oitentimes very WISE
ly, suspended or held in allegiance; but their
latent force, ready to be called into practical
operation upon the demand Of expediency, is
not only undeniabe, but must be eyermore
afiirmaiive!y asserted, or otherwise the gov.
eminent would be continually exposed to the
dangerous hazards of revolutions, or finally
engulphed in anarchy.

eY- The Richmond Examiner, democra-
tic, and the Washington Union, the admin
istration organ, have been engaged in con-
troyelsy recently about Governor Reeder, of
Kansas. AS usual, the Union got the worst
of it. The following is the closing portion
of the Examiners last article:
ave struck, as the emergency of the case
required, hard, plump, direct, without hest
fancy or delay, at the head of the serpent,
and cut it off at a single blow. The triumph
ant result of our castigation has surprised
even ourselves. We not only hogged the
Forney organ from the defence of the hemp
frightened Reeder, but we have kicked the
Union into the ranks CT Reeder's ''bOrder
rufians," and we now have that paper swear
ing by the men who held up to Reeders af.
frighted vision, the halter and the gallows.
awe have at last discovered the only eff.
cient means for keeping the Washington
Union from going over, horse, foot and dra-
goons, to the AbOlitonists. We furnish the
receipt gratuitously to our Southern ex.
changes. Whenever there is the slightest
room for suspecting that paper of Abolition
proclivities, apply the whip-editorial unspar-
ingly to its shoulders. Show us little mercy
as the Russian executioner does when he ap-
plies the kDout. Don't stop to reason or re-
monstrate with Forney; come down hot and
heavy with the lash, and you will do more
good than by a thousand kind words. Con-
gress is fast falling into the possession of
the AbOitionjsts, and the Union will follow
the public printing, and compete with the
National Era for the spoils, without bestow.
ing one thought upon the interests of the
National Democracy.
"If nine-tenths # the people of the Uni
ted States were asked to name three of the
most deiestable of the human family, they
would write, FoRsEy, HISS and REEDER. It
is the duty of the South to repudiate the
Washington Union, TO brand with the mark
testatiOn, every man who utters word in
defence OF Forney's disappointed and reject
ed tool, Reeder."

less than Sc per Dbl. in San Francisco. This

OPINIONS OF THE NEW YORK PRESS.

~ ANAONS VI i III NE lOhh h6oos
Several Of the leading papers of New York
city are giving their opinions Of Mr.. Wise's
success in Virginia. The Express says:
Wise is elected Governor by decided
majority.
'The delegation in Congress will not be
materially changed. The heavy and inex-
pected majorities for Caskie 10 the counties
adjoining Richmond have reelected him
and Faulkner's defeat is anything but certain.
Bayly, and Smith, supported by the X. Ms.
