/" DaguerreOtypeS."

Mrs Maynard, wife of tho editor of
the Council Bluffs Nonpareil, has been
writing letters from Des Mones to her
husbands paper, which are full of
spice and far more readable than the
dry political letters written by the
Editor himself Her stopping place

At the head of the table, between

to have captured, but whether with view to

intent merely to make it the starting point for
his crusade against Nicaragua, does not yet APP

intends to march through Honduras into the
northern part of Nicaragua, and penetrate
thence to the capital OF that country.
This undertaking is of itself sufficiently diff
cult. The length of the route to be traversed,

supplies and support which he cannot fail to
experienc, will effer obstacles Of the most seri-
Gus character to the success of the under,a-

lSTERyENTIos IN SyRIA.-The Great Powers
of Europe have agreed to intervene in the af-
fairs of Syria, for the purpose Of putting an end
to the civil war which RACES there between
the Druses and the Christian population. The
parties to this Intervention are the Emperor
of the French, the Emperor of Austria. the
Emperor of Russia, the Prince Regent of Prus-
STA, and the Queen ofGreat Britain and Ireland.
The plan of intervention has been assented to
by the Sultan, with the distinct reservation
that the movements to restore order and main
tain peace in Syria, shall be conducted 10 the
name OF his government.
According TO the articles of agreement, the
expeditionary force is to number not more than
twelve thousand men. OF this number the
Emperor of the French is to furnish one half,
and 1t Is stipulated that he shall dispatch his
quota without delay, Should larger force be
necessary, the other Powers shall, in diploma
TIC way, arrange among themselves which shall
after consulting the Sultan, furnish the addi-
tlonal aid necessary to restore tranquility in the
disturbed districts. The Commander in Chiel
of the expeditonary forces is directed TO enter
into communication with the Extraordinary
Commissioner of the Porte, for the purpose Of
combining the measures required by the cir.
cnmstances of the case, and for taking such
positions as may be necessary to carry out the
object for which the Great Powers have arrived
at a common understanding.
We are thus particular in placing before ouI
readers the conditions upon which the leading
European Powers have agreed 10 intervention
ia Syria because We believe that the results O
that Intervention will be the engenderng o
jealouses which will ultimately lead to fear
ful struggle for supremacy in the East. The
~ Y. Sun thinks the great battle of Arma
geddon is yet to be fought, and rejecting as W,
do all the plausible thories of biblical critics

our own time there will be decisive struggl

; lowers of the False Prophet.

Commercial movements are always slow, it
takes years to collect materials for q financial
crisis, and years to set in order the scaffolding
for new edfice of prosperity. The crisis Of
1857 was inevitable from the outbreak of the
Crimean war; it is now 1850, and the real
work of restoration has only just begun.
1t has begun. however, and for that let us
give God thanks. On whichever side we look
we see evidences ofreyiving animation, increas-
ing enterprise, increased production. restored
vitality, e-estabished confidence. The NUM-
Der of workmen employed ID the New England
factories is considerably greater then has ever
been known heretofore; The consumption of
cotton and wool will. it is expected, this year,
be thirty-three per cent. in excess of that of
any previous year. The yield of wheat in the
West is over twenty-five per cent. more than
the harvest Of 1856, the largest harvest on re-
cord corn is expected to show still larger
increase. Cotton may not do, this year, as well
as last, in consequence of the severe summer
drought; but the crop will certainly be in ex-
cess Of that of any previous year excep, 1859.
The railroad interest is NEEDING rapidly; the
average receipts show an increase of from forty
to sixty per cent. over last year. More ships
and steamers are being built than usual it ID
evident that new struggles are going 10 be
made with England for the supremacy of the
seas. The mines--iron, coal, lead and gold
are yielding more metal than they have done
for years.
Thus we are once more On the advancing
wave of prosperity. How long the tide may
flow before the ebb comes depends on the com
mon sense and discretion OF The people at large
If people generally become elated at the pros
pect Of prosperity, and begin to spend as mucl
as or more than they earn; if the increase o
wealth leads to an excessive expansion of credi
and every one begins to run in debt with view
to future fortunes; ifoug women insist on squan
dering upon dress and household Injuries tn
sums which they spent in 1856 and the earl
part of 1857, it is evident that our race will b
short, and that fresh financial crisis will speed

fifteen feet deep, were ploughed up, soil and
