THURLow WEED IN EUloPH-H0w OPINION HAS
BEEN BIAsED-PURcHAsEs OF FoRE1aN ARAs.-l
have not yet met . foreigner who does not, in
his conversation, present the question wrong end
6rst-who does not twist and travestie every.
thing. They generally regard the South a. OPP
pressed-the North IS the aggressor; and Of
course their sympatbies are with the weaker
section. Theee tares we're sown while We slept
And the enemy has been most diligent. Long
before we could realize the possibility Of civil
war, treason was doing its work here. More
than year ago prominent Southern men were
in Paris representing the wrongs Of the South a.
90 grievous that they could not be endured; that
the election of an abolition President" was TO
be followed by violent emancipation.
The secession influences most active and po-
tent here come from that portion of our country
ceded to US in 1901 by France. They represent
to the French people, and probably to the Gov
eminent, Q willingness to be reannexed to
France, if in that way only they can be exempt
ed from Northern oppression; and 60 ill.inform.
ed are people on this side of the Atlantic, that
this rnonstrous delusion pervades and darkenl
the public mind!
Nj. George L. Schuyler, the Government
Agent for the purchase Of arms, has completed
his mission. He has obtained from the Govern
ment Arsenals in Austria and Saxony over one
hundred thousand rifles equal to any in the
world. These arms are now On their way "a
America. Mr.. Schuyler, though for long time
embarrassed and thwarted, and all the while en-.
encountering rivalries and complications, finally
overcame them all, and goes home rewarded fol
his efficiency and fidelity, by complete success
The knowledge that our government needed
arms has sharpened the cupidity and wits of all
who deal in them. The armorers of Europe are
at work now, night and day, in patching up old
nuskets and in counterfeiting new ones, in the
hope of palming them upon our Government.
Europe abounds with inferior, discarded mus
kets, while new and reliable arms, in hand, are
obtained only from government arsenals, and
that of course, with great difficulty.

TIE Two ELENENrs.-Col. Forney writes as
follows from Washington to the Philadelphia
Press:
Two elements will henceforth be enlisted for
our destruction-Slavery on these shores and
despotism in the Old World. The two are con.
genial and cooperating elements. The one, born
Of the loins of monarchy, has, from the earliest
days of our colOnia! existence, yearned for the
countenance and support of strong govern
ment, and, during more than thirty years, has
toiled to degrade and to dominate over the white
race on this hemisphere. do not care what
politicians may say, it is fact irrefragable and
patent, that all the calamities which now sur
round and imperil the Republic, result direct
ly from the intrigues of Slavery and its advo-
Gates. 1t was an easy and q natural transition
for European statesman to drop their empty pro-
fessions against Slavery the moment they per.
ceive that Slavery had taken the field Poutranee
against the Government of the United States,
and to seize with malignity upon the oppor.
tunity thus presented to avenge themselves
alike upon the example we present to our down.
trodden fellow.beings, and because of the tri-
umphant manner in which we have..made our
stand against the proudest and strongest Gov
eminent on earth. When this worlds battle
shall open, let it find US ready for our many
handed foes; and in that hour let Us write upon
oil our standards the imperishable words, 'Hos-
tility to American Slavery, and to European
despotism." The result cannot be doubtful.

Since last writing You, the "Sixth" has moved
from Sedalia to our present camp on the Lamins
River. We understood when We Arst arrived
here that barracks we're 70 DO built, and that
this Was to be the winter quarters of about
twenty thousand men, And indeed this seemed
to be in fair way OF being realized, for several
days Some twenty regiments had already ar.
rived, and others were arriving every day
When we came here deep heavy wood covered
the bottom to the east Of the bridge bat ''presto
change" and the river banks are bare, and the
tall oaks are laid low, Topped of their branches,
and ready to be made into soldier huts." In
the mids. Of all these preparations, when no
one thought Of anything but remaining here
during the winter, . hassy order from Gen. Pope
changed the whole current Of affairs. Pursuant
to that order some ten or fifteen thousand troops
marched out bound for the West. During the
whole of last Sunday night you might have
heard, had you been here, the blowing Of bugles
the beating of drums, and the tramp Of depart
ing soldiera What these troops have done You
will probably have learned before this commu.
nication reaches you Nevertheless will give
you the word that has reached rs, at the risk Of
its being stale.
Gen. Pope intercepted body Of two thousand
rebels near Clinton, who were on their way
from Lexington to join Price at Osceola. The
rebels Immediately scattered in all directions,
but squad of about one hundred and fifty, not
30 fortunate as the rest, were captured by cav.
airy force near Osceols. Also, about seventy
baggage wagons fell into the hands of General
Pope, laden with large quantity Of clothing,
munitions of war, &c.
There is also arumor Of q general engagement
between Price and Pope, but it is not relied on.

Who we're loudest and most offensive in thsI

below they went. The captain Of the Tren,
before the two vessels parted company, es

thing rude or offensive should have been ute,

alton and courtesy.
