THE WAR--wHAT is TO BE THE END
OF ITp -

We are asked this question every day. It is a
very knotty question-one which, we doubt not,
the king of Prussia, the Germanic Confederation,
Alexander H., the British Parliament, Napoleon
ILL., the king of San DINA, Franz Joseph, and all
others concerned would be very much puzzled
to answer For ourselves, we confess We have no
fixed opinion upon the subject, or rather our opin
ion varies with every fresh arrival. Nor are We
singular in this respect. We find, indeed, the
journals of London and New York just as undecid-
ed as we are A correspondent, after asking the
inevitable question, suggests that "the repeated
successes of the French may cause Germany to
join Austria more readily than had she (Austria)
been more successful" Of the disposition of Ger
many TO take part in the there be no doubt.
The Augsburg Gazette, paper of almost univels sal
German circulation and influence, and believed to
speak the mind of Germany more fully than any
other paper whatever, cries aloud for Germany to
unite, and seize the present opportunity to march
upon Paris, while so large portion of the French
army is absent in Italy. We do not recollect ever
to have seen any thing like the rhodomontade with
which the article in question abounds ''The duty
of Germany" it says, 'is to 60 to with France
at once. With an army of half million of men,
the Confederation might march on Paris at once,
and make its vainglorious inhabitants the day
when it excited the enmty Of Teutonc population.
The advance upon Paris to upset Napoleon, to de-
liver the world from nightmare that has too
long oppressed It's chest, to destroy system which
is plague to morality, right and civilization. -
Richmond Dispatch.
We suppose it is easier to talk about marching
on Paris than to do it.

MONTEBELLO AFTER THE BATTLE.-A letter
to the Messenger gives the following description
Of Monticello on the day after the battle:
"Within fifteen hours after the battle was over,
we entered Montebello, where were only an
advanced guard of 40 light Sandman horses. The
city was still almost desert The inhabitants,
who had fed the day before, on the approach of
the enemy's columns, were returning timidIy, one
by one, watching and listening sharply, to find
out the condition of their houses. Corpses covered
the approaches to the town, and filled the streets,
those of the Austrans in the proportion of 4 to l
of the allies.
"Everywhere I saw soldiers dead and stiff in the
attitudes in which they had been struck. Bodies
strewn in pools of blood, furniture broken, walls
grooved by balls, doors and windows smashed,
bayonets bent and twisted, muskets which had been
used clubs-a this made up one of those scenes
which are never forgotten.
NARROW ESCAPE OF NAPoLEoN.-Iu his visit
to the field of battle at Montebello, the Emperor
Napoleon narrowly escaped being made prisoner.
He had pushed on as far as Castaggio, and was
observing with his telescope the movements of the
enemy between Berbianello and the Portico del
Stella upon the Pc, when suddenly detachment
Of Austrians presented themselves before him. only
two hundred PAGES distant. Whether they had
lost their way, or whether they had advanced thus
far from mere hardihood cannot be told; but it is
probable that the latter suppositon is correct, in
asmuch as the advanced posts of the Austrians are
much more energetic and daring than those Of the
Franco-Sardins. Directly, however, the Emperor
saw them he changed color, threw away his segar,
drove the spurs into his horses TANKS, and gaop-
ed back to Voghera at pace which would have
done honor to the winner of the Derby. Louis
Napoleon has faults, it must be admitted, but that
of wantonly exposing his person to the enemy
cannot certainly be Numbered.

SPEECH OF SENATOR GREEN.-Senator Green,
of Missouri, made speech at Jefferson City on
June 9Th. The following point in it will be read
with interest b the politicians:
'He had been asked whether he would vote for
certain individual (Stephen A Douglas) if
nominated for the Presidency by the Charleston
Convention. Unanswered, without hesitation, YES.
He differed in opinion with Mr. Douglas upon
several points in his political creed; but he was as
wide asunder from Seward, or any other man that
would be nominated by the Black Republican
party, as Heaven is from EARTH

of the Mormon emf grants in Utah are subjects of
Great Britain. They are not citizens of the Uni

On the contrary, they cherish unfrendly feelings
to this country. The emigration from Europe still
continues to increase. On the 18th May, seven

VIOLENT ToRNADo.-We learn from gentle
man just returned from visit to Gloucester county,
Va, says the Norfolk Herald, that a most awful
tornado was experienced in that county, on Friday
last.
1t commenced at Gloucester Point on York
River, and swept everything in it's way-razed
houses, tore up trees fences, &c and carried them
distance of half mile, shattering them to fin
ders The gentlmans house (Mr.
Diggs) taken up and blown distance of three
quarters of mile, and strange to say not one of
his family received the slightest injury, although
all their furniture, clothing and money were swept
of by the wind and lost. The clothing they had
on were torn into rags. Wherever the tornado
struck it left perfect waste and carried desola-
ton In every direction. There were great many
persons more or less injured-some with broken
arms and dislocated limbs

GREAT SUFFERING ON THE PLAINS


Two young mer named Erastus B Griffin and
Preston Gates, of Williamsburg, Wayne county,
Indiana, have arrived here direct from Denver
City. They went out last October, and left Dem
yer on the 9th of May A gentleman in this
place was acquainted with them, and pronounces
them to be perfectly reliable. They prospccted
two months and made 81 40, all told. They pros
pected up and down the Platte, and on the head
waters of the Colorado
They think there may be some gold in the
mountains but there is chance to get it, there
is deep all the year round, with the excep-
tion of about two months. The best days digging
they did paid them ST o.
They report horrible suffering on the Smoky
Hill route, which has been so often pulled in some
Of the papers. When they left, but ten persons
had reached the mines by that route, who report
ed that three hundred had died ON the way. One
of the men reported that he had seen six dead
men lying within reach of each other; and another
said he had himself buried twelve men, These
men came struggling in one by one. One of them
had lived ten days on the flesh of his dog They
reported that some had lost their way Scouts
were Immediately sent out, and some Of the lost
ones were found within ten miles of camp so weak
that they had to be fed with spoons
In Denver City, the baker was the only person
who had any gold dust for those who got any
were compelled to buy bread with it. One of our
$50, for four pounds of bread.
These young threw their tools into the
Platte, and started home foot, taking only two
blankets with them. For two hundred miles they
lived on prickly pears and wild potatoes They
built up but two fires from Denver to Fort Kear-
ney. Once they killed prairie dog and roasted
it. Another time they came to where and
his family were encamped and asked for bread.
The man at first refused it, but at length agreed
to let them have some, for which he took their
blankets as pay. They then had to sleep the
bare prairie, and once the Cheyenne Indians came
near taking their coats from them.
A young man named VIM H Joslyn and anoth-
er person, from Monroe. county, New York, have
since arrived and reported similar to the above,
and much more which would be interesting had
we room for it. They spent great part Of their
time in company of old mountaineers, who assured
them that gold could not be found there in paying
quantities.

The imports counted up 53,79s bales, including

The quantity now known to be at sea from Amer
