EUROPE. = The European nations certainly just

dash in upon her old enemy Austria, eight times her
in regular style for fight yet all the while talking
about it in such ambiguous style as to completely
puzzle every one about her real ntentions-her ally
England, afraid that France is in earnest, and yet
more afraid to interfereAustria planting herself in
the best possible attitude to receive the shock yet
yisbly shaking in the knees and beginning to talk
abont yielding point or two-Prussia standing by
her cousin german, but afraid to STRAND the giant
Russia, himself lately thrashed soundly, looking
very good naturally and quite disposed to think it
very pretty quarrel as it stands" This tabieau, of
course cannot last long. LISA very awkward posture
for the parties themselves and besides, keeps the
world in state of painful suspense. The affair must
take new turn soon, yet nobody is sure what. The
general feeling, however. is that work may be
expected.-IN. Y. COnrier.

The MoRMoNs BAD AS EvER.-The Cincinnati
Times of the 10th inst, says:
We have letter from Salt Lake City, in which the
writer complains bitterly of the treatment expert
enced by him among the Mormons He says that be

lish. they came from their native land about four
years ago as Mormons and were married in Utah.
But last March they withdrew from the Church and
started for the States, while the was yet the
ground. Their team gave out and died, and they
were unable to get along. In this condition they
were met by a body Of United States troops. who
who provided them with wagon in which they re-
turned to Salt Lake City But since the head Of the
family has been insulted and outraged in every pos
sible way, his ofense being that he is an apostate
from the Church. On recent occasion, several of
the Mormons visited his house, beat him in the Sc
yerest manner, and threatened that if they caught
him out they would take his life. Alarmed for his
safety he left the city, and proceeded to the camp Of
the United States troops; and this, he adds is the
way in which all are dealt with who do not bow to
Brigham Young and his associates The great inst

How IT WOULD HAVE woRkED-The diary Of
Washington just published informs US that, when be
made his grand tour through the Northern States in
$780, he took with him his slave Billy his faithful

It is very fortunate that General Washington did
not make his grand tour seventy years later and that
have found himself ncarcerated in the State prison
for ten years because he had introduced his slave
Billy" into the State. Nor is this all. If similar
laws had prevailed 10 the Northern States during the

The weekly Anglo-African. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1859-1861, 1859-09-03

This African cotton question, therefore, De-
comes a vital one. 1t is not to be laughed
out of the market by any journal in the
world. l have the means of knowing
that cotton merchants of Liverpool, Glas-
cow, and Manchester, are looking at this
question seriously; and hence, if the
"Sun" takes up this question at all, it must
look at it, speak of it, calmly, as CON-
mercial fact, that thousands mow do not
think it right to use slave grown cotton, or
any other article of unrequited toll, if they
can get it of free labor. Is it not as fair
question for discussion as the slave-trade
itself, temperance, or the Sabbath trader
am no colonizationist or partisan
of African civilization, as it is now under
stood; but we think that if ANY PARTY IN
AFRICA can come into the market OF the
world and share part of the s1OO,OO0,.
600 which free Europe gives to the slave
holders of America for their slave-growI
cotton, it will be handsome thing, to say
nothing of rice, sugar, and tobacco.

CAMP-MEETINGS.

This is the season for camp-meetings,
and the friends of this outdoor method of
religious worship are everywhere gathering
to them. Of late years, for some reasons,
these meetings have been held principally
by colored people. The whites, it may be,
have outgrown them, or it may be they
nave become prouder and more arrogant
than their fathers were. Nevertheless,
they still attend in great numbers, leaving
their colored brethren, as usual, to do the
work.
These meetings were held simultaneous
ly at Rye, Flushing, Hampstead, and
Rumpson, N. j., and for aught we know,
elsewhere, and too, with what is regarded
by the friends of the measure as great sue
cess.
We looked in at the one held at Rump-
son last Sunday, and to our surprise found
an immense gathering, though it was said
to be nothing like what was expected or
what was gathered on the same spot last
year. What struck us most forcibly wss
the great preponderance of white over col
ored people-there being at least ten for
every colored person-and all SO orderly
and attentive Elder Pitts has charge of
this station this year, and being an eff
cient and intelligent laborer, we doubt not,
will do much good among the people of his
charge.
How far these outdoor meetings are
spiritually profitable, is for the spiritual
leaders to determine. One thing, howev-
er, is certain: that, having the ear of our
people, the ministry, of whatever denomi-
nation, can do much to correct the errors
and mend the ways, temporal as well as
spiritual, to which we are subject We
could hope that day or SO could be spared
and set apart on camp. meeting and similar
occasions, for the giving of advice and di-
rectiOn to our people on the best manage
ment of their temporal affairs. This, we
sincerely believe, is demanded by the pc
culiarity of our position in the communi-
