The news from Europe continues to be
of the most warlike character. 1t seems
as though England was determined tc
have a fight at all events. This impress
sion is gathered however. more from the
tone of the English press, than any posi-.
tive knowledge of what the government
has determined to do. Nothing is Yet
known as to what demands have been
made on our government nor what action
the Administration will take; though it
is strongly limited that Mason and Slidell
will he given up. The general impress
sion seems to be that peace will be pre-
served. We will not pretend to say what
ought to be done; but should it prove
that England has made any demands
which cannot be acceded to with honor.
we hope our government will not be fright,
ened into compliance. We say acar be.
fore dishonor.

Ga An incident occurred at Washing
ton, the other day, going to prove that in
spite Of all vigilance, the secession spies
often succeed in escaping detection A
horseman, clad in sort of cavalry cos.
tune, with heavy overcoat and slouched
hat. had been noticed for some time dash
ing about the city in rather suspicious
manner. At last the authorities felt
themselves warranted in arresting him;
and accordingly one morning, when trot,
ting down Pennsylvania avenue, he found
himself suddenly surrounded by file Of
soldiers, and was carried off to prison.
But the funniest part was to come. The
investigation that followed resulted not
only in the discovery Of certain important
papers, but also Of the fact that the gal
liant cavalier was q woman. How long
she had been at the game it is impossible
to guess. 8 '''

Sickness In the ARMY.

1t is said that there is considerable,
sickness in the army Of the Potomac. On.
ly the number of those who are in the Ct.
ty hospitals is Published, whereas at every
camp around our wide lines there is a hos.
pital, besides the brigade hospital at Or
near the generals headquarters. 1t is
estimated that there is an average of eigl.
ty sick out of every Thousand. Among
the Vermont and New Hampshire men, fe.
vers are very prevalent there seems to be
something peculiarly dcleterious to these
mountain men in the damp atmosphere Of
the low lying camps around Washington.
In the Vermont brigade, encamped Just
beyond the Chain Bridge, there were last
week four hundred and fifty men on the
sick list and there had been 81 deaths
among them the last fortnight, ..
The sickness among our soldiers at Port
Royal is very great. Gen. Sherman's ex.
petition landed at Port Royal on Nevcm,
Der 7th. Before the end of the month
out of fifteen thousand men, nearly fv.
thousand had been on the sick list. OF
these eighty-four died in November, and
at the last advices, more than six hundred
were yet seriously i'll. The diseases which
have thus scourged the expedition are con-.
gestive and remittent fevers, acute dyseu.
terry, and rualarious pneumonia, all of the
most malignant and dangerous type, and
all incident to the climate and sure to BE-
produced by everwork and exposure The
climate is subject to great and sudden
changes which are peculiarly trying to the
sick, who are net under proper shelter

MUSICAL CONVENTIONAL Musical Con-
vention was held in Waterbury. beginning
on the 10th of December, under the di-
rection of W. W. Partridge, of Burlington.
The attendance was large, considering the
extremely bad going, and in point of
pratical talent and earnest devotion to
musical culture, it compared favorably
with any Conventions that have been hol-
den. The Convention closed on the evening
of the 18th inst, with very successful
public concert. During the evening Rev.
G. G. Parker, Chairman of the Committee
on Resolutions offered the following reso.
lutions:
RESOLVED, That In the opinion Of this Con
ventien, music-especially vocal music--is the
highest and finest OF all the arts, and II alone
when conrecratcd to the worship Of and praise Of
Cod, is worthy Of being called divine.
RESOLVED That of all musical instruments
the human voice in versatility of expression, and
power to reach the heart, approaches nearest &c
perfection and US q means of personal and socia
