The War Question, etc.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The results OF
all the inquiries made here tend to disprove
the truth Of the Charleston C0iricr's spc
cial dispatch in relation to the commence.
ment of hosllitics in Europe. The official
adviccs, however, from all our European
Embassies concur in the belief that war is
Inevitable.
e The Cabinet We're engaged to-day in the
examination and discussion of Nicaraguan
affairs. II is understood that Sir Wm.- Gore
Oaslcy's official acts while in that c0un,ry
will be severely scrutinized. The Govern
ment is in doubt as to the truth Of the re
port of Gen. Miramon having sold portion
of Tehauntepec, but will not be surprised
if by the next steamer INTEL gence confirm
ing it is received. IL it is true, they will
take strong ground against the measure, and
Congress will be convened to specially act
upon the matter.

the shock occasioned by the change affects
the skin or glands. the Ointment, in combi-
nation with the Pills, soon puts the extcr-

Under these circumstances, common pru-
dence suggests the propriety of having beth
remedies always Mt hand at the commence

supply of them before starting on journey

autumn are, unques,ionably, the seasons
most prejudicial to health, and therefore
nothing should then be left undone that

The War Prospect.

The latest news from Europe, which will
be found elsewhere in this paper, tend to
confirm the upprehensions of general
European war. The work of preparation
is complete, and every fortress in Europe
seems to be charged and primed for the an
ticipated conflict. The most minute excl
ting cause may be sufficient to set the ball
in motion. Dispatches have been received
at Washington from the United States
Ministers at London, Paris, Madrid and
Vienna, all of which speak Of war in Eu-
rope rs apparently inevitable, and state that
business was suffering great depression in
consequence of the disastrous prospect.
What effect general European war will
have upon the United States is n question
Of vast moment. ]: must tell dsastrously
upon the price of cotton. We observe that
the opinion is currently advanced. that the
anticipated conflict in Europe will ultimately
inure to Tho benefit of the United States.
This is probably Just conclusion to the
extent of the manufacturing and grain rails
ing interests. The cotton spun in Austria,
Sardinia and other States on the Continent
will remain to be manufactured in the Uni
ted States. Breadstufs will of course rise
in price. The capital in Europe being direct.
ed in the one great chanpeI-the carrying
on of hostilities-many speculative enter
prises in the United States may flourish in
consequence but nowhere can we see that
the consumption of cotton Is to be augmen-
ted by a war, either in Europe or on the
Western Continent Peace throughout all
the world is doubtless the condition most
conducive to the interests Of the cotton
growing States of this Union.
The following is the latest upon the sub
ject of the war, which we take from the
Charleston Courier of Saturday The dis
patches, it will be seen, are contradictory ::
