Garn, IN AMER in NeN York SAWS:

THE GERMAN OPINION OF THE PEACE.-A
German paper in New York says:
eve regard the ilth of July, lS59 as the
date of a new Holy Alliance. The interview
between Francis Joseph and Louis Napoleon
must be viewed in connexion with the meet
ing of Louis Napoleon and the Czar Alexan
Ger at Stuttgart. Possibly the league OF the
three Emperorsi may exist 4 few years before
its effects will become wholly apparent, and
meanwhile short-sighted persons will again
delude themselves with u dream of perpetual
peace. But there is no reasonable doubt that
an alliance already exists, and one, too more
important than that of 1913. The object OF
the present league, besides the crushing out OF
human freedom doubtless is to disable those
Powers without whose aid popular liberty
can never prevail in Europe--these are the
two Protestant States, England aud Prussia.
sit is hardly possible, however, that the
next attack will be directed against Eng
land, but rather against Prussia. France hay
ing. through short wars gained the friendship
of Russia and Austria, Prussia alone remains
10 be won by the same means, and the conti-
mental coalition against England is complete.
Should, however, England at length realize
the dangers which threaten her, and boldly
side with Prussia, then Professionalism and
Catholicism Will be arrayed against each other,
and we may he prepared for another thirty
years war, the result of which will be an en-
tire reconstruction of the European States"
The French paper, the Courier des Etats
Uais, AYERS that the four fortresses are equally
divided between Sardinia and Venetia, Pes
chiera and Mantua going to the former, Ve-
roma and Legnano TO the latter, and the Adige,
and not the Mincio, to be the dividing line
If this be true, it is more favorable than at
first supposed.

The celebrated Potawatamie chieftain. Shau-
bee-nay, died at his residence, on his farm, near
Morris. in Grundy county, ILL.,, on the 10Th

service. lie came from line of kings; was q
nephew of Tecumseh, and was by the side OF
that renowned chieftain when he fell on the
hard fought field of the Thames. Shau-bee-
nay, was, by birth, an Ojibway, but marrying
among the Potawatamies, according to Indian
custom, he identified himself with his wife.s
people. In recognition of his services and po-
sition, he has received from the federal govern

acres of land, about five miles southeast OF
Morris, as above where he resided until his
death. lie was Il man of intelligence and sa-
gacity, and warm friend of some of the ear
lier settlers. He was above. the vices which
have, too generally put the finishing touch 10
the ruin of his race He was not iniemperste,
and there was dignity and gravity about
him which seemed to sever him widely from
the poor, degraded remnants Of the Indian
tribes of this section.
