Carl Schurx.

We find in the Madison Courier the following
biographical sketch Of this young giant of the
Northwest. As Mr.. Schurz is evidently one Of
our rising men is will be read with Interest:
Carl Schurz, born in a castle upon the Rhine, of
which he was tenant. passing successfully through
the preparatory school and the gymnasium into
the university, he found himself, at the age of l9
years, (in lS4s) leader among students in rev.
oution against his legitimate government, which
for the time smothcred-thcn the object Of
police search, and almost seizure-then n wander
cr-anon an officer in the fortress, where, for twcn
ty-three day., 5000 youthful Germans wihstood
army Of 1900 soldiers, commanded by the
Prince of Prussia in person, which fortress was sur
rendered only when provisions had given out, and
intelligence had been received that succor was i'm
possible. Escaping by means Of a sewer which
led from the fortress under the wall to an open
field, and again wandcrcr, with indictment
hanging over him, and price set upon his head,
he succcssivcy a sojourncr in foreign prov
inccs, distinguished patriot in his own land,
successful plottcr of scheme for the escape Of
his comrades in arms whose sentence was com.
muted from death to Imprisonment for life, and
wanderer through Switzerland France and Eng
land. till happier stars than had yet shown upon
his head led him to the United States. Mr.. Schurz
first settled in Philadelphia, where he remained
about three years. For the past FIVE years he has
been a citizen Of Wisconsin, residing at Milwau-
kee, where he is distinguished for his attanments
in literature his successful practice of law and his
c:oqucnce, readiness, logic and argumentativc
powers in politics. Mr.. Schurz has shown himself.
in repeated efforts, to be Of the best ''stump
ers" "a phrase now perfectly naturalizcd with
him) which the Republican party has in all the
Northwest. As gentleman, scholar. and a
statesman, his reputation is cnviable, and so deep
hold has he taken upon the popular mind in the
beautiful State of his adoption, that he just missed
being put upon the track for the Office Of its Gov
ernor at the period Of the last election.

PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATION or THn IRREPREssI-
HE CoNFIIcT-A MILITIA CoxrANY DrsBASpEp
FOR FIDELITY TO THE UNroN.--An extraordinary
affair has Just occurred in Milwaukee, Wiscon-
sin, particulars of which we publish in another
column, which shows the progress Of the IRE
pressible conflict in that region Of the North
west 1t appears that Captain Barry, of the
Union Guard, which is represented As one of
the finest companies in the Wisconsin State mi
litia, expressed an opinion in private converse
ton, that in case of conflict between the
United States authorities and those of the State
he would order out his company in obedience
to the former, considering, as he did, the claims
Of country paramount to those Of State. Upon
being catechized by the Adiutant General,
Captain Barry admitted that he conceived sach
orders coming from the Governor would be Il.
legal, and should not be obeyed, iuasmuch as
it would mean simply command to commit
the crime Of treason, to which he and his men
would be subject to, and would deserve the
penalty of death. Upon this admission Of
fidelity to the United States authorities, the
black republican Governor of Wisconsin at
once disbanded and disarmed the Union Guard,
sportion Of the regular militia of the State.

fict going on against the Union and the federal

THE CHARLESTON CONVENTION IT
OucHT o DE HEID.--The National Democratic
Convention, to be held at Charleston, to nomi-
nate candidate for the Presidency, will come
off in April next: and we see it stated that a
vast crowd will attend there--the statesmen
and the politicians, the Office seekers and the
pipelayers from all sections of the country, to
the number, at least, of 10000.
This is ridiculous. Charleston could not
accommodate 5000 persons, unless it sent them
to the cabins Of the negroes. 1t is absurd in
every way 10 hold national convention at
Charleston. Cincinnati was bad enough. The
charges there were as high as ten dollars per
day, and many Of the poor loafers who went to
the Convention held there in 1856 found it
difficult TO get back again. indeed, large
class of men who 60 to such conventions have
to depend chiefly on charitable contributions
by the way. Now, Charleston is further away,
it is more difficult to get there and it is harder
to get back from it than Cincinnati Besides,
there is considerable danger Of those who never
wash their faces being mistaken for nirgers
and detained as slaves. Then where Is the
food to come from, unless by miracle, like
that which multiplied the Eve barley loaves and
the two small fishes so as to feast great multi
tudef They might get some pork and corn
dodgers, but they would have to send to New
York for their beef
New York, which everybody wants to see,
is the place at which the Convention ought to
be held--the most central and the most easy of
sccess; and no matter what numbers may come,
there will be plenty Of accommodation for all
without extra charge. It is not yet too late to
make the change. The republicans changed
the time of holding their convention by whole
month There seems 10 be no sort Of impro-
priesy in the Democratic Central Committee
changing the place, seeing that the change to
the Empire City would conduce 50 much to the
convenience Of all, and combine pleasure with
business in such way - il would be idle

MOVEMENTS OF THE ALBANY FREEBoOTERs-
The extraordinary coup dktot made by the
George Law gang Of political pirates at Albany
seems to have momentarily paralyzed the other
faction; but the leaders thereof are as cunning
as the insect that pretends to be dead when 1t
is only stunned. It is said now that things
have got into such a condition that none of the
city railway bills can pass. The Weed crew
has the Assembly slowed comfortably away
under matches, like so many Congo negroes in
republican slave ship, while George Law
holds the Senate with az good title as he ever
possessed in those celebrated muskets.
When we consider the position of things at
Albany, the prospect is not ravishingly beauti-
full. One branch of the Legislature has been
bought up to plumber the taxpayers Of the me-
ropolis Of some Of their most valuable fran
chises; and, 80 far as that body is concerned,
the foul bargain has been consummated. In
the other House the drilled cohorts are only
awaiting thesignal Of their masters to vote away
the same franchises to half dozen railway
spectators and lame ducks in Wall street. It is
all Of piece with the corrupt legislation
which would impede the progress of work upon
the Central Park, and create gigantic job by
cutting streets through Washington Heights.
Weed and Jacob Sharp's Broadway Railroad,
and George Laws Gridiron act extending
over fortyeight streets, may be killed, and the
taxpayers property saved for this year; but
we are not so sure Of that. In any event, the
fact remains the same. The Legislature Of the
State has been sold out and out to gang Of
INSCRIPTIONS Spectators, who contemplated
raid upon tho city property which would bring
from eve to ten millions Of do,%rs out Of the
taxpayers pockets. The franchises which the
Legislature proposes TO give away are the pro-
perty Of the city, and should be sold to liqui-
date the interest upon the city debt, and re-
duce the taxes, already swclled to an enor-
NOUS amount, and still going up.
We trust that some of the heavy pro-
perty holders, merchants, bankers and me-
chanics of the city, win move in this matter,
and convene an indignation meeting to express
the popular feeling which prevails in the com
munity. 1t Is one Of unanimous disgust and
Indignation az to The infamous conduct Of some
Of oar rulers. Let them undsgstaaa that there

THE ELECTION IN New HAxPsHrRE.-The first
State election Of 1860 took place yesterday in
New Hampshire. II was generally supposed,
from the apathy displayed by the democrats,
that the State would 60 for the republicans,
and 1t appears that no effort was made by the
former to prevent such result, much to tho
astonishment of the democracy all over the
country. Under these circumstances the cleo
ton ended a. might naturally have been ex-
pected, in the triumph Of the republicans.
On the strength Of this success the republi-
cans will get ur great excitement, and win
cali II the pioneer Of their future victories
throughout the North. In Connecticut, how
ever, where the democrats have made an effort,
and where the effect Of the loss of Southern

bly, be difIcreat result next month. But ws

Tho News from Europc-The Crisis OF

Tho News from Europe-The Crisis ON
the Continent.
The news from Europe, received last night
by the North American ct Portland, shows that
the political relations of the several Powers
have again assumed critical position.
1t is both affirmed and denied that treaty of
alliance between Russia and Austria has been
consummated. Whether this be true or not.
there are powerful influences at work which
have produced some remarkable resulta, The
Russian ambassador at Turin has informed
Count Cavour that 1t would he the assumption

selves so strenuously to preserve peace and
the French Minister of Foreign Affairs has ad-
dressed circular note to Austria, inculpating
the Pope for having permitted the aggravation
of the Italian question by his neglect in the
Romagna, and Offering not to NEEDLE with the
States of the Church If the rest of the questions
in Italy are permitted to be settled in accord
auce with the popular desires.
These are strange moves on the political
chess board of Europe, and show that the old
issue Of the dynasties against the people is
again ranging the Powers for diplomatic dis.
pute, and perhaps for an armed conflict In
the Developments now made England is ac-
cused Of having broken up the recently pro-
posed Congress by refusing to permit the
eventual discussion of the treaty of 1856. From
this we gather that Russia wishes to break up
the treaty of Paris, while the aim Of Louis Ma
poleon is to sweep away those Of 1915. In this
dispute England is no longer under the tory
rule of George the Third, and through that the
leader and paymaster of every combination Of
the dynasties against the popular aspirations Of
the age. Commerce has entered largely into
the influences that sway her councils, and this
has little sympathy with the musty theories Of
rule by divine right and the inheritance Of
blood.
Matters begin to wear serious aspect, how
ever, and every steamer. will now bring us i'm

nent of Europe.

THE News FROM MBxIco.-It will be seen By
the news from Vera Cruz, which we publish in
another column, that while Congress, with its
party feuds and personal jealousies, is refusing
to cooperate with Mr.. Buchanan in endeavor-
ing to establish our influence in Mexico for the
benefit of our commerce and industry, England
is stepping into the field, and bids fair to make
her counsels paramount in the affairs of tbs
neighboring republic.
Miramon had arrived with his forces in the
plains around Vera Cruz ON the LIST instant,
when, coincident with this crisis, came The
British mail steamer, bringing Instructions
from Lord John Russell to the English Minister
Aldham, Of Il. B. Ms steamer valorous, to pre-
pose to the csnteuding parties truce Of sevs-
raj months, and the calling together Of . Con-
gress for the settlement by debate Of the con-
test now carried On BY arms AS the constits-
tional government released to permit the Eng
lish mail to proceed to the capital through
the enemy's camp, the Instructions to Mr..
Mathew were detained at Vera Cruz, ana
a Juarez and Niramon were near the scene.
Captain Aldham acted on the instructions re-
ceived by him, and after comforting with tie
constitutional authorities in Vera Cruz, pre-
ceeded to hold an interview with Mirsmon in
his camp. From the Indications presented In
the news, II Is probable that through this iaitis
tion negotiations have been established BE-
tween Juarez and Niramon, which may lead 70
some arrangement between them.

than delay in the attack on Vera Cruz, thu
would be Of great advantage To the defenders
