Our War with the sOuth-IIs Proportions
u.... and Effects. r..HH.
The New York Herald remarks:

The New York Herald remarks:
To bring the conflict in which we have
entered to speedy termination, it will have
to be carried on on a scale to which history
offers no parallel. The greatest military
effort ever made was that by France when
she sent 100000 men to invade Russia,
keeping at the same time armies amounting
to similar aggregate in Spain, Italy and
Germany. Here there will be brought into
the field, if the struggle should continue for
any time, larger number of armed and
disciplined men than any other nation has
ever been able to turn out. The entire
enrolled militia Of the States and Territories
is, as Mesbowedthe other day, over 3, SOC, OOO
OF these, il is probable that more than third

sides, and thus will be offered the spectacle
of the greatest war, considered in relation TO

Southern OutraEes upon Northern Men.
The Boston Journal gives these narratives

Southern OurraEes upon Northern Men.
The Boston Journal gives these narratives
of Southern outrages:
Mr., e. o. Corson, native of Stoneham,
and cousin of Captain John H. Dixie, of the
Stonehem Light Infantry, attached to the
Sixth Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers,
together with about thirty shoemakers be,
longing to this State, arrived in Boston this
morning from Stanton, Va, where they
have been employed at their trade, having
been compelled to leave their situations on
account of the strong feeling against North
erneTs which prevailed there. Two OF their
party, one of whom was named Howe, and a
member of the StoDeham Light Infantry,
were arrested in Staunton, Va, and thrown
into Jail fer refusing to join the secession
forces. 20.
Mr.. Corson reports that the Sixth Regi-
ment, Col. Jones, passed through Baltimore
as he left that city to come North. The party
entered the train before they heard of the at
tack upon the Massachusetts volunteers by
the mob, and had proceeded about quarter
of mile out of Baltimore, when the con
ductor, who was a Yirginian, ascertaininp
that they were Northerners, stopped the
train and refused to proceed. The men drew
their dirk knives and threatened to cut down
the treacherous conductor il he did not give
the signal to proceed. This prompt and de-
termined action soon convinced the Vir-
ginian that it would not be prudent to trifie
with his passengers and he ordered the
train forward. ~
Intelligence reached Mr.. Gorson that his
cousin, Captain Dike was shot in the leg by
the mob in Baltimore.

Strnnse and Horrible Story about Lola
mOntez- Her Last Days Passed amid the
m Ost Squalid Poverty and Shocking Bru-
tRlity.
The New York correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Sunday Dispatch makes the follow
ing startling statements:
All the press have been telling as how
affectionately friendship smoothed the dying
pillow of poor Lola Montez and drawing
the most affecting picture of her falling
asleep in death upon the bosom of a rich
friend, in luxurious apartments, upon a bed
of down, and ''all that sort of thing" In
deed, it drove all misanthropy from the field
to note in these elaborate accounts how no.
Bile human sympathy stepped forward to
carpet with flowers Lola's path to the grave.
Now, obi veritable Dispatch, would you

penditure of fustiau, the simple truth is that
Lola Montez died here in an uncarpeted and

And when Lola would be detected crawl

along the entry with her palsied limbs to

to the glad sounds Of human voices within,
it is said that she would be driven back to

UEPoPULARIrY OF THE ENGLISH BISHOPS
The English bishops, it appears, do not en-
joy very extended popularity at home.
The London Examiner, of the 9th inst, in a
sweeping condemnation of them, says:
If any calamity were to sweep away the
whole Episcopal bench, and the first twentys
four clergy men that came to hand were to
be promoted to the vacant sees, the change
would probably be neither much for the
better nor for the worse. No eminenees
would be missed, no great superioritles in
learning, benignity or wisdom. We should
not have to deplore the loss of q single ex-

The Recognition by England of the south

ern COnfederacy.
This question is discussed in the Manches-
ter Guardian of April 6
In England we have always recognized de
fdct0 Governments, and if the Shareholders
of the United States had deposed the Presi-
dent and had set up an Emperor or an over
seer in his stead, the case would be very
simple one. We should enter into friendly
relations with that Emperor or overseer in-
continently. 1t is only a few years Rgo
since we received into exile the king of the
French, and accredited an Embassador TO
the Provisional Government. But sup.
posing M. M. GARNER, Pages, Lamartine,
Ledru Rollin, et Gle. had ruled in Paris, and
all the country south of the Loire had held
to Louis Philippe as King-what should we
have done then? Would our statesmen have
received ambassadors from both Govern
ments, or would they have said; "France is
entirely in the European system. If she
thinks fit to make herself into two nations
well and good, but we can not recognize one
fraction without the consent of the other,
or the sanction Of a Congress to which either
must be party" l,..-...,.. .........-.s ... ..
The difficulty thus suggested is less in the
case of The United States, but it is by no
means light one. II the South has a right
to secede from the North upon the plea already
set up, then sOery State in ths neW C0Htederacy

A DIVORCE DILBxaA.--The Supreme Court
for York county, Maine, has been in session
for the September term two weeks. The Saco
Deaocrrt gives the following account of one OF
the divorce cases:
"There have been three divorces deereed
during the term thus far, and in connexion
with one of said DEGREES there now seems 10
arise some funny" questions. 1t seems that
a certain party in South Berwick anxious tc
get rid of his spouse pressed hearing
upon his libel, and obtained decree during
the third day of the term. On the fifth day
of the term the said spouse made her ap-
pearance before the court, and stated that hei
anxious husband and his friends persuaded
her that the ease would not be called up till
the second week in the term, consequently
she returned home, although she had de-
fence to said libel, &c, ,,&e. The court, upon
these rerres tations, ordered the decree OF
divorce TO be stricken from the docket. Now
the funny part of i. is that said divorced hus-
band went home Oh the day OF the decree
obtained as before stated } and forthwith pro
ceeded to Salmon Falls and married another
lady. What his new wife will say, or how
they will proceed when they learn that there
is in fact no decree OF div oree from the first
wife, remains TO be seen."

THE RULE OF THE RoAD IN PAKIs.-An ele.
CANT " horsebreaker," known as Mdlle. Azure.
liza, who is in the habit of showing elf in the
Champs Elysees in sa dashing britska, which
she drives herself, was brought mp the othe,
day before the Correctional Police, charged
with knocking over an old woman. For the
defence it was stated that the com plainaui
was in fault, she having most careiessiy got
in the way Of the horse, and, moreover, tina
the defendant had given her money and taken
every possible care of her since the accident.
But to Mdlle Aurelia's great horror and rs.
tonishment, she was informed oy the eour,
of police regulation which prohibits two
men and children from driving at all In
Paris. The fair defendant indignantly pro
tested against this law, and declared that she
had met with i've carriage accidents in her
life when gentlemen were driving, whereas
this was the first nlishnp that had occurred
when she handled the rib nds herself. The
court, however, was ungaliant enough 10 flns
her ieef. The police ordinance In question
cannot be very generally known; at all
events, il is not m uch regarded, for the ladies'
may be seen every day driving along ths
Boulevards, and carts driven by maxkstMo,
men and washerwomen are continually met
with In all the streets Of Paris.
