The Cost af Var.

+ There is force 10 the remark of the
Charleston Mercury, that the expe-
rience of the war just closed in
Europe demonstrates that war is SO
expensive an aff;tir, bothin blood and
treasure, that civilized nations cam
not afford to indulge ia it. Bank
ruptey and ruin would be the result
to the richest nation in the world
from a five ears war,on the principle
of using the latest improvements in
arms.
The palm Of superior military
achievement is awarded to Russia,
thought it is justly argued that the
laurels won by all parties concerned
but poorly repay for the vast sacri-
fees they have made. In the course
of events, distant, Turkey it is pre-.
dicted is destined 10 foot. the bill.
But u more important fact than this
exhaustion Chemically speaking) of
precious metals, is that the most
costly waI that was ever waged in
tide Of time, and TO which science
has given the mos. terrific force, has
been unmarked by a single stroke of
genius on the successful side. The
bright features Of the struggle have
been on the side Of the Russians.
The sudden erection of the foriiGca-
tions of Sebastepol, and the extraor-
linary retreat of Gortschakoff across
the hartor, are the Gully operations Of
the whole war That partake Of the
character of what deserves to be
called military strategy. There re-
mains, therefore, in the future the
grand problem, how a man of genius
like the great Napoleon would use
such implements of war as. have been
improved since his time. 1t is hard
to imagine how iie could resist. In
the hands of the bunglers who have
lately managed them, they have SIM
ply proved the means of impoyerish-
ing the treasures Of Europe, of cali
ing forth some very interesting
meteorological observations Of men of
science, and Of demonstrating the
truth of the mark Of the Emperor
Nicholas, that Turkey is very
sick man" whose alfairs must be adj
ministered upon soon by somebody
The finaiity seems to have been de-
volved, By the terms Of peace, up
on England aud France, andi if they
can agree upon the. division Of the
commissions, it may be very veil
but otherwise it viii be only new
bone Of contentipn AT the best, it is
only deferring the settlement. Tur-
key cannot exist as an independent
power.

How the Peace was Signed.

The Empress Eugene having ex-
pressed wish to preserve the pen
with which the peace was signed:
the gallant diplomats made use of
one plueksd from the wing Of a
living eagle, and the relic is now
in her possession, ornamented with
gold and diamonds. In addition to
signing the principal documents, each
Of the plenipotentiaries had to put his
name to eighty-six separate para
graphs. The treaty might have been
signed on the 29th .ult., bat Louis

WONDERFUL INSTANCE OF SAGAcITY.
We hear Of an instance of sagac-
ity practieed by the elephant attach
ed to Herr sDriesbach's menagerie,
which deserves record. Coming in
to Newark, Ohio, last week, the ele-
plants keeper fell in a GIT from his
horse. The whole menagerie imme-
diately came to halt, and some
members Of the company went for
ward to pick up the man. But the
elephant would not allow any person
10 approach the llfeless form of his
keeper Taking him up with his
trunk, softly, he would place him on
his horse; bat finding that the man
was senseless, he laid him on the
groand, and kept watch over him.
Many members of the imenagerie
tried TO sooth the faithful elephant,
who had now become furious at the
supposed death of his master, but to
no purpose, and there the man lay,
watched by the sagacious animal =
After lying in this condition for some
time,,a physician, who had been sent
for,arrived, and yet the elephant would
not allow no one to approach. AT
length the keeper became SO far con-
sci ,us as to command the elephant to
let the physician come near. and the
animal was docile and obedient 10 a
moment, and the keeper was properly
cared for; the elephant, all ti'e while,
expressing the utmost anxiety for
the sick man.

she Loved Him.

0AS AV'NU HsAs-a'
She loved him, but she knew it not
Her heart had only room for pride,
All other feelings were forgot;
When she became another's bride.
As from dream she then awoke,
To realize her lonely stater
And own it was the VOW she broke
That made her drear and desolate.
She loved him, butthe slandereg came
With words o. hate that all believed;
A stain thus rested on his name,
But hewas wrong.d and she deceived.s
All, rash the act that gave her hand. 3
That drove her loversfrom her side,
Who hied him to distant land,
Where. battling for name, he died.
She loved him, and his'memory now
Was treasured as a thing apart;
The shades of thought were on her brow.
The seeds of death were in her heart.
For all the world, that thing foriorn
/ Iwould not, could not be and live,
That casket with its jewel gone
s a bride who has no heart to give.

FAYETTEVILLE, TENN: THURSDAY, JUNE s.. 1856

expected to entertain any opinion
upon the great subject? Great Laugh
ter.
Mr.. JONES. The gentleman from
Pennsylvania did not answer the
question which I propounded to him:
whether he approved, al that time, Of
the Wilmot proyiso or not; and wheth-
er be did not act at that time with
the Wi.mot proviso party in Pennsyl-
, vania? The gentleman says be had
rot the folly to argue the constitu-
tionality Of that question. Perhaps,
like many of those. who ac.ed with
him, be took itfor granted that it was
constitutional, and that it would be
labor thrown away to argue the ques-
tion.
The gentleman further says that
the constitutionality of that question
had nothing to do with the duties of
the Office for which he wasa candidate.
/ asked the gentleman if he did not
state in his remarks that he discussed
the question of slavery in his Allie
ghany speech but that it was reported
stronger than he made it? And I
should further like to ask the gen.
tlemah what relation the question of
slavery had to discharging the official
duties of canal commissioner of
Pennsylvania? Laughter-]
Aud again if he did discuss that
question uron that occasion, did he
or did he not touch upon the Wilmot
proviso; and did he or did he not say
he was for the Wilmot prosiso, and
against the extension of slavery in
in the territory then recently acquired
from Mexico? or what was the issue
between him and his competitor that
made it necessary for him to discuss
the question of slavery at all? Were
they botlon the same side, or did
they profess different principles, and
occupy different positions2

Slaves in the United States.

! The slave holding States are said
to contain between three and four
millions of slaves. Thess slaves are
estimated to be worth two thousand
millions ofdollars. 1t is not suFpris-
ingathat the southeru.Staies should
be.sensitive on the subject Of slavery
and that they oultapprshend dap-.
ger from party, the avowed object
Of which is the emancipation of
these slaves, and which partyis now
sufficiently strong TO elect Speaker
in the House of Representatives, and
probably to make President il the
people should fail to elect one. The
northern peopl, we're mainly instru-
mental in planting slavery in the
country. They.sOld slaves to the
people of the South, and received pay
for them. They would not have the
owners of slaves to- free them with
out being remuneraied for doing so.
And what pray would be the condi-
tion of the slaves If liberated aud
thrown, irf their degraded condition,
upon their own resources for support?
These abolitionists would give no
aid. They can never be brought to
mix and mingle cn an equality With
the whites Of the South. The abo-
litionists, many of them, look for
ward to the time, whsn the slave
population confined by the restrictive
lines within certain States in which
the white population is continually
diminishing by emigration to new
territories from which the negro is
excluded, will become so oyerWhelEl.
ing, that at given signal the slaves
.can.assert their liberty, and by an
indiscriminate murder Of the whites
obtain their freedom and possess the
soil. Let the whites continue to
emigrate to new territories. and the
negroes remain and multiply aud
the time is not far distant when the
disproportion in numbers between the
two races in the slaveholding States
will be great, when the negro will
have the advantage, and when the
enemies of the South expect to see
him butcher his master. IL we re-
member right, Joshua Giddings,
though an old man, said recently that
BIO expected to see that day. And
can the people of the South be indif-
ferent on this subject?

Pooh CASA singular fact has just been
brought to light in London in regard to
to Gas meters A careful examining of the
Gas works of London has establishing this fact
that 1.-The lower the quality OF the:gas, the great
or the velocity with which it flows through
the meter: that's, the quality register is in
creased, in proportion as the quality is deto-
piorated." Thus by the simple process OF
supplying an inferior article, the bill ofthe con-
sumner may be made larger, although he burns
the gas no longer than before, and the income
of the company considerably augmented with
out any corresponding augmentation of the ac-
tual cost of the product.
