FROM EUROPE,

Already the signs of reaction in the opinion Of
Europe are abundantand encouraging to the friend
of peace. The people of Italy, awakening to an
appreciation of their true condition. are beginning
to value Alright the tremendous sacrifices made by
the French and their Emperor in behalf Of Italian
liberty to recognize the truth that great victo-
~ has been won for them on the battle6elds, and
in the councils of peace the glorious work may be
most thoroughly accomplished. When the proof
is made, we are willing to believe, that Napoleon
has not been governed by an honest desire to
ameliorate the condition of the Italian States {;
that his policy has been selfish, and his aims have
pointed solely to the aggrandizement Of France
and fu!fllment Of the purposes of deep-seated
revenge. Thus far, however, we see nothing to
warrant such belief; and if We are to be persua-
ded, the logic of future events must be adduced.
Within the last fortnight, the Emperor has Civ
en- most conclusive and welcome proof Of his
good faith. England refused to take part IN the
conference, unless upon condition of general dis.
armament. Though involving an insulting sus-
picion, Napoleon has readily and cheerfully yield
ed to the requirement, and commanding gen.
eral disarmament of his forces, land and sea, Civ
en- the very highest proof of his pacific and hon
orable intentions. The English, suspicious and
captions as they are, cannot resist this overwhem
ing evidence of the Emperor's good faith, and so
the tone of their papers has been changed as if
by magic.
We repeat, Napoleon may prove false to his
pledges, but thus far his course on the Italian
question has not furnish the evidence-directed
as it appears to have been solely to the progress
of constitutional liberty.

Eight Children at Birth.-Johnson, 7rum6uu
County, o., August4 A, 1s59.-On the I'd Of ,Au-
gust, Mrs. Timothy Bradley gave birth to eight
children-three boys and five girls They are all
living, and are healthy, but quite small. Mr.. BIS
family is increasing fast. He was married six
years ago to Eunioe Mowery, who weighed 27S
pounds on the day of their marriage. She has
given birth. to two pair Of twins, and now eight
more, making twelve children in six years. It
seems strange, but nevertheless is true. Mrs. B.
was 5. twin of three, her mother and father both
being twins, and her grandmother the mother of
FIVE pair of twins. Mrs. B. has named her boys
after noted and distinguished men-one after the
Hon. Joshua R. Giddings, who has given her q
splendid gold medal one after the Rev. Hon. Eli.
jah Chsmplin, who gaveher deed Of 80 acres Of
land, and the other after James johnson, Esq,
who gave her COW. Mr.. Bradley says it's pro-
ftable to have twins, as the neghbors have cloths
ed the Others ever since they were born. Mr.. 3.
is poor, industrious laborer, but says he will not
part with any of her children while he is able to

Catching the Lightning.-While the men were
engaged in putting Lightning Rod to the. Meth
odist Church steeple, in this city, on Monday
evening, they receiveda severe shock Of the cleo
trio fluid which came near throwing them from
the stssple. One of them was standing upon the
Gilt Ball (115 feet from the ground) and the 9TH
er one was just beneath it. Both had hold of the
rod drawing it up toits place, aOken tho Eghtning
strucki it! 1t was one Of J. A. Bacon's Charleston
Gable Rods, (reaching in one piece to the ground
withoutjoint) and the lower end was lying on
wet ground. Therdssh was very vivid and &C.
companied with Kissing noise. Their escape
can onybe attributed to the fact that the rod had
no joint Of any kind and its good connection with
moist ground, whereby the Huid was conducted
into the earth with such facility that their bodies
offered comparatively slight inducement for it to
leave the rod, They, however, received enough
Of it to make their arms lame for day or two
and to teach them not to venture so high with
their rods when there is any thunder about,

We are glad to notice that the culture Of this
delicious fruit is attracting much attention with
us. Ourtownsman, Capt. SIMRL, has been very
successful, and exhibited to us, the other day, his
grapery, more luxuriantly and practically beauti-
full than dozen fower-gardens. The purple
clusters hanging overhead, INTERVIEWING thickly
and with that inimitable grace which nature gives,
deliciously ripe, luxuriant, and e1qusitely invi-
ting, made picture worth the looking-upon,
verify. We have never seen the fruit more abun;
daut, and grapes certainly never grew more char
mingly than on the Captains arbor. Of course,
he will turn all this beauty into native wine, or
make q hearty attemptat it.. At the risk Of being
counted out, we will wish him luck, and hope that
he may finally make LoNGwoRTn himself '''stand
from under"
We have no doubt that our climate is better
suited than any on the continent, to the conditions
Of grape-culture and we are surprised that lov-
ers of such adelightul fruit are not more plenti-
full amongst u.s. Why should not every man have
his arbor 2, It gives but little trouble, and the
return is LIBERAL out of all proportion.
By way of encouragement, suppose our Tenn
perance friends (who rule the ranchs) incorporate
into their pledge special exemption to those who
may get drunk on wine of their own manufacture
1t. might stimulate the culture, vastly Who
knows how much good might come Of it? But
we shall not press the matter now.
We (the whole concern) return thanks to our
friend and his estimable lady for sundrY generous
basketfulls. To make o long story short, they
found the grapes, and we toundered. .a,s-'. ..

Since then, the position has been pressed upon
him, and be has accepted it. One of the reasons
for his acceptance, the Charleston Mercury OF
Saturday states: ..
Major Capers feels impelled to accept the stu
alton in the Georgia Institute, from regard for
his wife's health, which has become seriously
impaired, and for which he hopes to find the dry
