from England and Prussia, although the latter
especially would DO very nervous about tho
ultimate result. The humiliation Of Austria
as Power would give a fearful shock
to all Germany, and the British hon would
gnash his teeth over Sardinia being added to the
already vast possessions of great naval and
military rival The settlement of the Roman
question, which would conane the Pope to the
Vatican and garden, and make Rome the
capital of Italy, would probably hurry tho
tottering steps Of Pho Mono to the grave, how
ever large might be the pension allowed him
in consideration Of the loss of his capital But
before departing this life he would doubtless not
forget to anathematize the eldest son of the
Church for his wickedness in bartering Rome
for Sardinia.
When, therefore, we hear of an insurrection in
Hungary we may look forward to Hungarian
Independence, to the capture of Venetia by the
Italians, to Rome being made the capital Of
the new kingdom, and Sardinia being handed
over to France. Meanwhile, we may expect to
see Russia neutral spectator, and England
and Prussia in o situation where they cannot
well help themselves, and which English and
Prussian statesmen may perhaps 1hudder to
contemplate.

Our Ex-Presitents and Our Southern
Rebellion.

We have five eX-Prcsidents of the United
States still living and in good state of physi-
cal health-to wit: Martin Van Buren,, John
Tyler, Mllard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce and
James Buchanan. How stand they on the war
question? Taking them in their chronological
order, we shall briefly explain to the extent of
the lights before us.

poitunity.
The Hungarian Diet has been dissolved, and
the Hungafians have refused every imperial
offer and concession short of the restoration of
their original constitution, upon which they
firmly insist. They are Offering passive re-
sistance to the authority of the empire, which
makes the collection of taxes difficult under
taking, only to be performed by the military
who are quartered upon the Inhabitants all
over Hungary, and regarded with hatred
which those only who feel themselves injured
and oppressed nationally and individually can
feel The Hungarians, proud and determined
with strong and undying love of nationality
and history which is as suggestive of their
future as it is descriptive Of their past are re-
solved upon freeing themselves from the yoke
of Austria. They will rise unanimously, and
make u desperate effort to overthrow the Power
that Expresses them. It is that uprising that
Austria breads. 1t is an uprising, too, for
which Louis Napoleon is waiting. The occur
renee of that event will be the signal for the
settlement, not only of the Hungarian question,
but the Roman question and the question of
Venetia. There will be simultaneous action
with regard to all, and well will il be for
Austria if she survive the storm.
There was very recently prospect of E,l-
ropean coalition of the four great Powers
against France; but we recognise in the letter
of Prince Gortschakoff, which we lately pub
lished, that the Emperor is in no way dis
posed to join swords with England, Austria
and Prussia. That the present British Ministry
will favor Austria and the coalition we have no
doubt but the trading class, or anti-Austrian
party of England, will control the government
in this matter and the result will be change
of Ministry and a revolution of parties, and we
shall no longer hear of either Palmerston or
Derby administration. Moreover, England may
have something to attend to on this continent,
which, in any case, would prevent her from
entering into hostilities with France. We have
before adverted to the arrangement said
to exist between Louis Napoleon and Victor
Emanuel for the transfer of the island of Sar-
DINA to the former in consideration of the
French troops evacuating Rome, and we are
aware Of the decided hostility of England to
any such French ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. In the pres
sent state Of the affairs of the world it would be
obviously unwise for France to attempt
the annexation Of any portion OF Italian
territory; but il will be an opportune
moment for carrying out favorite project
when the Austrian army is occupied in
Hungary and in defending the Quadrateral.
Austria will then be helpless, and, with Russia
out of The field there wOuld be nothing to fear

0uarreIs of the Lincoln GeneraIs--
sherman and Mitchell.

Gen. ANDERSON and Gen. MITCHELL
ouarreled, and ANDERSON was removed.
Now we learn from the Louisville cores
pondence of the Cincinnati Commercial,
that SHERMAN and MITCHELL are quar-
reling to such an extent that 1t is SAID
they cannot live in the same department.
To remedy this difficulty, the depart
ment is to be divided, Eastern Kentucky
being attached to MIToHELL's Ohio De-
partment.
The ostensible cause of the quarrel be-
tween SHERMAN and MITCHELL is diff
ference of opinion as to the plan of the
campaign, SHERMAN proposing to move
the forces from Eastern Kentucky
and Camp Dick Robinson to Glasgow or
some point in Monroe county, leaving
Col. GARRARD at his camp to threaten
ZoIL1coFFER, hold that portion of the
State, and protect the rear of the army
going to Glasgow, while simultaneously
Gen. McCooK would move South along
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
By this plan, Gen. SIBERIAN expects te
| drive the Confederates out of the State
| without battle! Gen. MITCHELL de-
sires to concentrate the great body O
their troops in Eastern Kentucky, leav
ing only force enough on the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad to hold the enemy

he could pass straight through Kentucky

men have partizans among the newspape

Mr.. Martin L. Conan, bearer of dispatches
from this place to PrestOnsburg, Kentucky,
has lust arrived from trip to the latter
place. He brings dispatch from Col. Flick
lin, in command at s'Camp Smith, +" Prestons-
burg, KY, stating that they were menaced
on all sides by the enemy, 800 troops are
encamped at the above place-but only 400
of these are armed Two hundred of those
armed had been detailed to attack 100 of
the enemy at Hazle-Green, which attack
was to be made at daybreak on Saturday
last. At the mouth of the Sandy river are
900 Federal troops, 700 at Mount Sterling,
and considerable force, number not given,
at Ashland below, and Pierpont above the
mouth of Sandy. Also body of Union
troops coming up the tug Fork of Sandy to
make a descent on Pikeville. Three hun
bred cavalry had been sent from ''Camp
Smith" to repel these invaders. The caval-
nv expected to be reinforced by Virginians
and some of the citizens of Pike, in which
event they would be sufficiently strong to
rout the Federals. However, Col. Ficklin
in his dispatch urges Col A. G. Moore, now
at Abingdon, to advance his command imme-
mediately to Pikeville, with all the arms and
ammunition to be had. He also begs prompt
and speedy action on the part of the Com
mittee sent to Richmond to procure arms,
ammunition, &C., and says that the troops
at .sCamp Smith" are in great danger of be-
coming demoralized by being compelled to
lie so long inactive.
Should the detachment of cavalry fail in
checking the advance Of the enemy up Tug,
and they gain possession of Pikeville, ''CamE
Smith would then be cut off from immedi-
ate connection with this part Of Virginia
and the arms and munitions of war now OIL
the road, destined for that point, would be
intercepted, When our informant left, tht
citizens of Pikeville were hourly expecting
an attack and great excitement prevailed.

We learn from gentlemen who arrived In
this city yesterday from Louisville that
within the past week, the Federal force In
Kentucky has been largely increased. a
number of regiments passed through Louis

Kentucky with view to check the advance
of Gen. ZoILIcoFFER. We presume some OF
these troops were of the command OF Gen.

We learn from gentleman who arrived in

and who was on board one OF the vessels OF
the Confederate fleet, that visited in the
neighberhood of ii ttteras during the week,
that the Yankees are building something
like wharf out from Hatteras and are
throwing the stoae overheard that they have
been carrying there in vessels, supposed to
be for she purposs of blockading up the IN
let. Our informant was told 6y one OF the
bankers who had been to Hatteras, that they
had cuta canal twenty feet wide across the
beach. and that recent high tides had made
mo almost another inlet. 1t was also the
impression of the banker that the Federals
intended 70 block up. the inlet with stones in
order TO prevent its beng used Tor priVateer-
