LATEST FROM EUROPE.
Important and Stirring Rews-The War
aliV beruni


ally begun!
The steamer Weser from Bremen and the
Borussia from Hamburg, arrived at New York
on the 18th, with important European news.
The news by this arrival shows that the war
has actually commenced, and that a battle has
been fought between the Austrian and Sar-
dinian forces.
The latest accounts from the seat Of hostili-
ties indicate that there was a sharp action at
the famous bridge at Buffalora, crossing the
river Ticino, Thursday, the 2Sth ult 1t
was reported that the Austrians, after consid-
cradle loss, took the bridge at the point OF the
|, ,bayonet. 1t ives reported also that Mortara
xhad been taken. This city is the capital
the province OF Lewellina, on the river Arlo-
qua, only some % miles from Alessandrial
The Sardinians are reported to have retszat-
ed from Buffalora and Mortara, before the
Austrians, TO point near Lake Maggiore, but
as the telegraph lines had been cut to Switz-
erland by the Austrians, authentic accounts
had not come to hand when the steamers sailed.
Austrian troops were concentrating in great
masses at Piacenza, capital of the province of
that name, thirty six miles from Parma, and
near the river Po.
Forty-thousand French troops were inGenoa
at the latest advlces.
The King of Sardinia, accompanied by Gen
erals Canrobert and Mel, of the French army,
had visited the line of the river Dura, an i'm
portant tributary of the Pc, one branch of
which joins that river near Tura.
The Austrians on reaching Lake Maggiore
are reported to have seized all the Sandman
vessels on its waters.
Austria is endeayoring to raise a loan of
f2O 100000 sterling.
The Emperor Napoleon was expected to
join the French army on the Sd inst.
The Prussian government had resolved to
put the Prussian army in readiness to march.
The note of preparation for war was sound
ing in England. A royal decree has been is
sued, offering bounty of f10 to scamen, with
the intention of recruiting ten thousand addi-
tional men. There was also great activity in
the dock yards, and England is evidently pre-
pairing for war.
a great number Of failures were reported in
the London Stock exchange.
Franco refused the profered mediation of
England for the reason that after accepting
Russia's proposal for holding a congress it
would be an insult to the latter.
The American clipper ship Panama, which
sailed from Liverpool on the 9th ult., was,
Gas reported per Adelaide wrecked off Wex-
ford on the 28th, and, sad to say, no less than
ESQ lives were lost.

When Mr.. Buchanan was running for the
Presidency, we were promised that he would
leave the institutions of Kansas in the hands
of her settlers; that he would build railroad
to the Pacific; that he would gladden. the

by protection; and that he would guard the
National gold with strict economy. What has
become of all these promised measures /?

KIssIsG.-We advise all young men-and
some old ones we know of-to keep away from
Amity township, Berks county. There is no
real ''amity" about it. A young man, who
has an appreciation of good things, kissed a
beautiful girl in that township the other day,
and the young creature told her cross old pa,
who prosecuted the young man, and had him
fined So. It's true, the girl said she didn't
want him to, but who believes that ? She
didn't think her father would be so cruel.
But let all nice young men keep away from
Amity hereafter, and the girls viii be willing
to pay five dollars for a kiss. just try it,

SCIENCE OF MODERN WARFARE.-The war
in Europe, once fairly in motion, will beat
anything yet recorded in the destruction of
human life. Science has been at work in
getting up guns that kill at any distance, and
with unerring certainty. And now the cele-
brated chemist DR.. Lardncr writes to the
London Times, describing a compound called
In chemistry by the not very euphonious name
''kakodyles," of which arsenic is one of the
constituents, which, on exploding, not only
dIffuses exhalations which render the sur
rounding atmosphere fetid as to be abso-
lutely insufforable in respiration, but imparts
to 1T also qualities which are poisonous in the
most deadly degree. These compounds being
eminently volatile, explode spontaneously
when exposed to the air. In burning the me-
tallic arsenic, one of their constituents, COM
bining with the oxygen of the air, forms fumes
of white arsenic, which being diffused through
the surrounding air, kills all who breathe it.
If these agents are introduced, war will be-
come dangerous amusement. And when
defeat means annhilation, nations will be un-
willing to risk conflict.

Hos. JOHN NJ. Boris, of Virginia, having
been assailed OF home for uttering sentiments
adverse to those generally entertained in the
South, comes out boldly, repubishes what he
has said on the slavery question heretofore,
and reafirms what he has said respecting the
institution, as his opinion now. He regards
it in the abstract as great calamity; wishes
it had 10 existence; but believes it's tendcn-
cies to be to the elevation of the slaves in
christian and civilized sense. He would not
have it interfered with where it already exists,
nor would he have it extended. He disclaims
sympathy with abolitionists North and dis
unionists South. He maintains that those
who prefer to believe slavery blessing, to be
consistent, should advocate the re-opening of
the slave trade, or any other measure that
would augment that traffic or increase the
blessing.

THE CAUSE OF THE WAR.-After our last pa
per was issued, news came to hand that the
Austrians in large force had crossed the Tici-
no and thus rendered the war in Europe cer
tain. AS everything connected with this war
will be matter of interest, and in order to
correct understanding of the point at issue,
we will give brief statement of the cause of
the war: Austria claims that she rightly
owns and controls Lombardy and Venice; that
she has right to control them as she sees fit;
that in order to do this she must maintain with
the several neighboring Italian States such an
influence as will render her Lombardo- Vcnc-
tian sovereignty safe. Therefore, she keeps
partial military occupancy of tho central Ital-
ian States, and virtually rules in all Italy.
Sardinia is the only large Italian province
which is an exception. There Austria has no
power, and the policy of Sardinia, which is ia
vorable to the establishment of constitutional
governments in Italy, is hostile to that of Aus
tria, which tends to the maintenance Of the
strictest military despotism. Sardinia, and
France sympathizing with her, on the contra
ry claim that the Austrian occupation of Italy
is Injurious in its effects on the italian States,
prevents the deyelopement of that country,
and is virtually in violation Of the treaties and
compacts of 1915. They demand the aban-
donmeut of the Austrian occupation of Italy
aud the Sardinian frontier, and that Austria
shall cease to exercise any more control in l.
Italian affairs than the other great powers.
These demands Austria refuses to comply
with, alleging that her policy in Italy is neces-
sary to her own dependencies of Venice and
Lombardy. These matters have been in con-
troyeIsy for three years. France and Sardinia
proposed III 1856 the consideration of this sub
Ject by the Congress of the European powers.
Austria would not consent to this. Diploma
tic negotiations were carried on, however, be-
tween France and Austria, but the difference
has grown wider and wider the longer the dis
cussion has continued, until now they propose
10 settle the whole affair by resort to arms.
