T4E WAR CLOUD IN EUROPE.

Russia seems about to encounter long ana
nerilous crisis The peasantry nndlng themselves
sacrificed for the benefit of the nooitly are rising
M in every direction, and the noples themselves
are giving In their united aoheslon W 'he ooony
Climb of Moscow, who are sworn, we are assured
mover to acouesce in the scheme OF emancipation,
unon the conditions and principles laid down by
the government
Affairs in Hungary are not less threatening; and
in Turkey an instruction had just prevented three
signal victories over the Turks, which would nave
proved a considerable loss to the Turkish arms.
Besides this, bloody riots have taken place at
Ismail andBolgrad, in the Prlnclpailties' wnere a
revolution seems upon the point of breaking out.
These difficulties however, do not, for the pres
ent threaten the general peace. The condition
of things nevertheless, is delicate enough to en-
list the whole attention of the Governments, and
to call in play all the skill of the diplomatists
TO sum up, let US glance at the spectacle which
Europe presents at this moment:
In Russia, there sixty millions OF people
who, perhaps, in three months, Will be plunged In
civil war.
In the very centre of our continent twelve mil
lions Of Polish subjects only awaiting favor
able opportunity to re-conquer their lndepen-
dence.
In Austria, there are fourteen millions of sub
ects in the provinces, five millions of Magyars,
and five and half millions of Italians, all of HON
are longing Tor the overthrow OF the HOUSE VI
Hapsburg.
In Turkey, there are twelve millions of Chris
tians, always in revolt against the Turks, whom,
if they could they would drive back into Asia.
In Italy, the situation is full of perils. There
are twenty five millions Of men who are looking
anxiously to Rome and to Venice.
Thus, without reckoning Greece, which is trem-
bling upon the brink Of revolution, the Ionian
Isles, which are in open quarrel with Great Brit
ain, the Danish Duchies or the forty millions of
Germans seeking for national unity, we find in
Europe one hundred and thirty millions Of men
ready 20 rush to arms, either to free themselves
from foreign yoke, to unite themselves into one
national body, or to work out in their countries
great and social and political reforms.
Never there epoch more troubled, more
fearfully agitated, or more pregnant with revolu-
ton Translated for the Charleston Mercury

PARcHED Corn Valuable Information fo,
Gueriuds-Several years ago We travelled in a
stage with Hon David Hubbard, of North Ala
bama, who served throughout the Seminole War,
and with his unerring rifle killed many red SKINS
from him we derived the following information,
which we publish for the benefit of those who
may be about embarking in guerilla warfare and
our soldiers generally when provisions are scarce
or cannot with convenience be transported in suf-
fcient quantity. Mr. Hubbard said he and others
often went out scouting for several days at time
taking quart or more Of parched corn, that he
could conveniently carry in belt made for the
purpose, slung over the shoulder (the weight was
light and with his blanket and trusty rife, sought
the foe in the lagoons and wherever else be could
be found. That until this method of warning was
generally adopted BY the troops progress could
be made in exterminating the savages which proved
entirely successful He stated that quart of
parched corn with care, would subsist a soldier
for week, and not suffer much hunger The corn
they parched in tie ashes of their camp fires

SUGAR PRosPECTs-The New Orleans True
Delta says the prospects unusually favorable
for heavy crop of sugar this season. From every
portion of the sugar-growing regions the same vel
come reports daily received; and should no
tempest or premature and nipping frost intervene,
it ia safe to predict larger harvest than has ever
heretofore been gathered in Louisiana

Rkg> Putting together all the reliable intelli-
gence we get from Washington, we cannot resist
the conviction that the Northern people have no
very great stomach for the prosecution of the war
The politicians and army contractors are,no doubt
eager as ever, but when four or five regiments
mutiny at once, and are dsarmed and disgraced,
and many of them put in irons and sent to an
island of the ocean for safe keeping, the men can
not be overzealous for fighting. There must be
a screw loose somewhere.

AUGUSTA HOTEL, Aug. 9th 81.
Permit me to inform your readers that Col. G.
F. Fisher, of the North Carolina 9th Regiment
certainly did take Shernans splendid battery
My information is from an officer in Hampton S
Legion, whose name and statement | will enclose
with this to you. He was in the hottest part OF
the battle, and Fisher after he was killed. He
fell beyond Sherman's battery, after taking it
The North Carolina flag bearer being killed, and
the flag lost, they could not hold the battery
Hampton's Legion re-took it and silenced it, and
placed their proud flag upon it.
The taking of that battery has been the theme
of remark since the BATTLE aud it may be interest
ing to your readers to know that Col. c. F. Fisher
sold his life taking it, as did many other gallant
Southerners. Having met number of my friends
who were in the battle have many interesting in
cideuts to relate. 4 wounded Georgian, who was
near Gen. Barlow when ne fell, told me that he
saw his beloved commander fall, and that Colonel
Gardner took his place with as much GOODNESS and
determination az any man could have done
