Eg The latest news from Europe

B9~ The latest news from Europe is
that war is inevitah ahle-that nearly all
Europe, together with Great Britain, is
going into the customary business of butch
erins each others soldiers. The Italian
States are now the bone Of contention be-
tween France and Austria, and will ulti-
mately embrace renewal of the Russo
Turkish difficulties. France cannot ad-
nit of continued peace without the
danger of local revolution,-Sardinia re-
fuses the yoke of the Austro- Papacy, and
France and England back her in her re-
bellion; while the German States come
to the aid of Austria. Russia has form
ed an offensive and defensive treaty Of alli-
ance with France.
American farmers may now hold UP
their heads for large crops and high prices.
We have no doubt that the agents of the
belligerents are already n our chief cities
making contracts for grain &C., for the
war. The ". Y Tribune urges upon
American farmers the necessity of plant,
ing to the fullest extent Of their capacity
in view of the prospective demand for
breadstuffs. We urge upon our farmers
to plant, because every bushel Of grain
raised in our county now is so much cash
in the hands of the raiser-saved from the
necessity of purchasing. Plant, farmers
of Potter, for yourSeloes-not for the hun
CRY, blood-thirsty soldiers Of European
monarchieS.

"IYhat is the difference between a Yam.

The old fashioned answer to queries Of
this nature used to be the simple phrase
that two wrong do not make right. The
difference in question, however, is that

Ten steamboats, destroyed.

PIrTsBURG, Saturday, May Z, 1859
At a quarter after twelve to-day, o fire
broke out in the steamer Henry Graft
which quickly communicated to the ad-
Joining boats, aud in less than five min.
utes ten steamers were enveloped III
flames, and soon proved total loss. The
following are the names of the boats de-
stroyed The Henry Graf, Pamela, Jen-
ME Gray, Council Bluffs, James Wood,
u. H. Conn, Potomac, Belmont, Cremon-
ia and Commerce,
The flames spread with terrific rapidity,
and the heat was very great, and fears
were entertained for the safety of the
warehouses on Water street, the exertions
OF the fremcn being principally devoted
to them.
The amount of freight On the boats
was not large, but some little on the
wharf was destroyed.
The PeunsS Slyania Railroad, with its
usuaI good luck, escaped almost scot free,
Its shipments of merchandise for the
West were Oh board the Economy and
South America, which escaped entirely.
The latter, fortunately having steam up,
was the means of saving all the o,her
boats-some thirty, now heFe-fFom total
destruction. She took a feet of four
boats nearest to those on fire, and towing
them away, left gap which made it pos
sibe to save the rest.
It is yet unknown how the fire orig
mated.
The loss is estimated at sl55,000, OF
which $4,000 is on freight. The amount
of insurance, as far aScertained, is $780,
900, mostly in Pittsburg Offices.
