Cheering News from Europe.

1t affords us pleasure to be the medium Of
announcing, through our telegraphic column
this morning, the cessation of hostilities be-
tween the allies and Austria.
Immediately after the sanguine battle OF
Solferino, an arInstice was proposed by the
friendly powers and accepted; this led to an
amicable adjustment of the existing difficult
ties, which was announced ON the 11th July,
by Napoleon, in dispatch to Paris.
This intelligence will be hailed by all class
es,-the manufacturer, producer and factor
with feelings of profound rejoicing; while the
philanthropist can but exult at the cessation
of the wholesale destruction of human life.

The Vicksburg Whig quotes with very-de-
eided symptoms of distress, the Mississip-
plans congratulatory comments upon the
New York Herald's announcement that sever
al cargoes of negroes have recently been land
ed on the Southern Coast. But the Wing
finds consolation in a paragraph Of the WASH
ington States denying the statement of the
Herald. Probably the States is not as well
informed as some other persons. For instance
an Abolition correspondent Of the New York
Tribune is satisfied by sojourn Of some
weeks in the South that the Herald's intel
Iieence is correct The Tribune writer 'has
had ample evidences Of the fact that those are
greatly behind the times who speculate on the
probabilities of re-opening the African slave
trade: it is already thing accomplished, and
the traffic is brisk, and rapidly increasing p
And then he does up the horrible over this
melancholy state of facts, in style that puts
to shame the feeble display of indignation
which the Whig editor affects. Only listen !:
Shall the slave trade Be longer tolerated in
defiance of all Iea0s Of God, and Of all tasos of
christian. aud esen MohamRaedas nations !?
The arrival of cargoes of negroes, fresh from
Africa. in our Southern ports, is an event Of
freouent occurrence In all the cotton States
the cry is for cheap negroes. They denounce
our laws aoainst the slaye-trade as pfotec-
tive tariff of twelve or fifteen hundred per
cent. on the price Of labor for the benefit Of
the slave-breeding States; increasing the price
Of negroes for consumption IN the cotton fields
from one hundred dollars each (the full cost
of importation were it not for prohibitory
lays) to twelve or fifteen hundred dollars
With the hope Of enlisting the whole South,
they point to the advance of free labor, and
declare that the defeat Of slavery in the strug-
Gle for Kansas was owing solely to the search
ty Of slaves.
The Administration is either secretly favor
ing or is really paralyzed by the power Of this
great combination and therefore stands id BY
while the qiqantic tciekedness 10 doing its
dreadful work. Nothing but rally Of the
friends of freedom and the transfer of the sceptef
of power to the hands Of those who have the
courage and the will to oppose itwith the whole
power of the Government can put stop to
what Jefferson so justly called this erecrabie
coamerce.. Shall we permit the whole coun-
try to be Africanized? ? Shall we permit those
engaged in this treason against God and hs-
manly to bIacken the gulf States with count
less thousands of innocent men stolen and
brought hither under the protection Of our own
! stars and stripes, until the citizens OF the
1y.-tk 90 csllad y1uon the rescue these IA
/ fatuated monsters from the inevitable event oi
| another st. Domingo?
The writer of this model specimen of anti
slave trade fanfaronade, signs himself, "in the
cause of freedom and humanity, John c. IN
derwood."
As the Wing is shocked at the morality
which the Mississippian teaches touching the
question of the slave trade, probably i VIII
find grateful balm for its lacerated sensihili
ties Of it viii drink freely at the fountains o
the New York Tribune.
