Magenta was fought on Sunday. Some
of the most destructive battles Of modern
times, says the Lowell Courier, have taken

A Jealops Husband makes q Fool Of HIMSELF
The New York Daily News is responsible for the fol-
lowing rather hard story: - s.ss--,s,r-s .s4a. :
On the afternoon Of the day when the news OF the
tragedy at Washington was received and most OF the
husbands in New York had fallen into sombre mood,
one of Them middle-aged yet hearty chap, who had
seen much service in the Court of Love- took it into his
jealous nodde that certainly there could be no mpropr
ETY. in going home at unusual hour. Accordingly ne
repaired to his gorgeous and magnificent mansion in the
Fifth avenue, quarter of city where it is supposed
bertnes most do congregate, and hurriedy entered
the door, Meeting female servant in the hail. he ask
ed for her Mistress his beloved spouse. The maid
blushed hung down her head and hestated Her man
but added to his suspicion and he demanded inn
mediate reply The poor girl, trembling, answered that
her mistress up stairs in her chamber arith gentle
man. The maddened husband, agonized with frenzy,
could hear no He rushed to his own apartment,
seized Colts revolver and Derringer stuck bowie
knife into his breast pocket bent fearful revenge
With single stride the door of his wifes bedroom was
reached when without stopping to ascertain whether it
was locked not, he burst into the apartment holding
weapon n each hand and found his dearly beloved in
pleasant conversation qrh her on brother. 1t I'M
necessary to detail the incidents of this tragca affair."
We ask pardon of the parties for having thus brought
this affair de before the public We have done
to paint moral well adorn tale for the
benefit of handsome wives who in these times more
than ever afflicted with jealous husbands d.
We hope now that the balmy Spring time hs S come
and all nature is smiling, editors will be less begerent
and that bachelors and naughty husbands will leave the
girls alone.

1He european CraSlS-Our Ftac FOl1Cy.
We copy the following observations from the Wash
ington Union: tr-
The time has not yet arrived in Europe when its in
dustry its wealth, and its machinery can exert potent
influence over its cabinets and statesmen Perhaps the
struggle which now threatens almost universal con-
vuson is necessary step to that end. There is not
government on the continent which has not already
mortgaged more than half the wealth of its people to
carry on ambitious wars and all Europe is the
point of conflict to crafty the pride of two ind
viduas. The day is certainly coming when credits will
cease, and the expenses of modern warfare are vastly
greater than formerly have hope and expecta
ton that the next half century will open the eyes cap
italsts to the extreme folly of trusting their money
those who know little of its value and what due
the honest creditor.
Meanwhile universal war in Europe will be a uni
versal peace in America. If Europe makes herself
great consumer we shall be her great producer If Ba
ron Rotbschd lends his money to Russia, those govern
ments afford to pay it to American farmers for
pork. beef flour, and other products of our SOIL If
then shall shatter Europe it will build up this country
If it shall impoversh the great imperial governments Of
the continent, it will enrich plain republic We do
not invite Our wealth and prosperity is in peace
Our conquests are in peace Our victories, which will
remain the page of history after Waterloo shall have
been forgotten all victories of peace. The great
fact which present to the world that our people en-
joy the blessings of universal education that estates
universally distributed, that have risen up from in
fancy to giant proportions having added largely to
territorial limits, wholly through industry the
proofs which exhibit of the superior power of organ
lied labor.

The Neus replies to q recent article in the Journal
which was intended as reonder to its bitter denunci
alton of the action nonacon of the late General As
sembly of North Carolina. We can assure that paper
that whatever disposition it may have have no in
cnation to engage in any heated controversy with any
body still less are we inclined to do with member
of our own party however unjust his differences may be-
or with whatever warmth bis feelings may be expressed.
We ask the Nes and General Edney and others of our
Western friends to be reasonabe-we desire to be rea-
sonabe ourselves.
The Nescs says we come down upon it with savage
erocity." In this the Neacs is wholly mistaken. Saw
age ferocity not in our line We like sometimes to
speak plainly, that is ALL
The Necs speaks of the avors heaped upon our City
and section by the Legislature and thinks we grow
pompous because say that New Hanover pays large
proportonate tax. Our heavy taxes are hardly
things to make us feel pompous certainly and we would
part with that ground Of pomposy without the slight
est feeling Of humiliation.
AS for the section feature in the charter of the West
ern North Carolina Road that was put in during the
" flush times of l854-'5. The crisis - of 1859
did not present the most favorable chance for its
val. We say now as we have before, that we think
the Blue Ridge will yet be crossed, but do not think
that it be crossed at once that would have
been prudent for the last Legislature to have taken such
action as would have precptaed very largely ncreas
ed debt and a very largely increased taxation.
The circumstances and position Of the people of the
Mountain district of State peculiar Taking the
line of the French Broad River Railroad to the Ten
nesee line would only traverse tro counties between the
Blue Ridge and the Tennessee line Taking the extreme
route to the extreme point at Ducktown away beyond
Cherokee it could only traverse five counties and pa
cling these counties when opened up, at the highest of
the most highly improved counties of the State on no
route could the whole assessabe property of the counties
equal the amount required to cross the Ridge to them
and build Road through them. These are crcumstan-
ces for which the East certainly, is not responsible
They are the DEGREES of nature further remuneration
must be looked to from the anticipated cOnnexon with
the Tennessee and Kentucky improvements or the thing
must be a dead loss.
1t is evident then, that this work, when done must
be work done by the State in the fullest sense of the
word Surely in work involving so vast an cXpcnd
ture, the State may bc-nay must bc--acWcd to take
her own time, and select her own manncr-go through
that Gap which she may find cheapest, and above all
have regard to her credit and the means OF her cit
izens without being objurgated or denounced.
