TIE QUAKEBs AND THE WAR.

1t is generally understood that members OF
the Society OF Friends are non-combatants,
and decline TO become soldiers or use violent
means of sclfdefense. There arc some vener-
able .Joes" respecting their mode OF accom-
mod.tiog tine uon.resstant theory to the herceSt
e,ipencies of actual conflict: one, OF Quaker
who was on a vessel attacked BY an enemy
and, the leader of thc latter being about to
board the ship by means of rope hanging
over her side, the non-cOmbatant addressed him
thus. Friend, thee wants that rope thee
sLa have IT," and thereupon cut tbs rope, ana
tho blood-thirsty assalant sank into the waters
II would SEEM however, that notwithstanding
tho testimonies of the body in this present
war for national preservation, Friepds ore very
much like other people. The complaints, ac.
cordlDgly, that they claim exemption from
military duty are best disposed OF by
facts. There are not few young men IN the
7th Regiment Of this city whose names are on
record as members Of the Society, but who
have been as ready as any Of their fellows TO
shoulder their muskets when called to duty.
We may taAe Pennsylvania, however, as the
sample par erceiienos, Of what they have done,
because il was founded by n Quaker, and IL
more identified with Quakers than any other
State. Chester County Of that state, whose
people are chiefly Friends, has supplied almost
her full quota for the last military calls, and
would have filed them entirely without any
l.. Il. L..t ola fr.. al A.
young men BY previous acquisitions Of the Gov.
eminent.
On Gov. Curtin's call for the defen.e of the
State almost all the Quakers, as well rs other
classes able to shoulder 4 mushet, went into
the ranks, and scarcely any remained behind
except the inirm. In some companies, over
three. louT,hs were Friends or Qaakers. One
10 particular. raised by Col. iIa~ley. who was
wounded at the last battle in Mary land-him-
self Quaker, or of that dcscent-was almost
wholly composed of old-liuc Friends. As hs
company left the railroad station they might
be heard asking the Captain, now Colonel,
" VIII thee take my son with thee 2" Such
are the Pounsy lyania Chester County Quahers
and such are they IN other counties Of that
State Soldiers from other States who have
campcd among them can testify TO the mater al
comforts received from them; and, having
passed through Philadelphia, speak of the
charming treatment received at the hands Of
the same people in that city. This, let it
10 borne in mind, is in face Of the strong lean
Ing Of tradition and doctrine against war aud
bloodshed Of oil kinds.

A NATIONAL. ASSEMBLY IN GER
MANY.

A political meeting. which may have an i'm
rortant influence on the map of Europe, ha.
Just taken place at Weimar Germany. Mem
tcrs of the present aud former Legislatures OF
Prussia, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Hanover.
SaxoDy and all the minor States OF Germany
have held kind Of National Assembly, to ex-
pres. the wishes Of the German people for the
political regeneration Of their country. They
have declared with great unanimity, that the
entirs German people demand tho transition OF
Germany from a Confederation of States into
ono Federal State. As the first step to this
eud, they demand the speedy conyocation OF n
National Parliament, proceeding from direct
and universal suffrage. The establishment Of
Central Executive Power and the relation 10
Germany Of the Austrian Government, whose
dominions are for the most part inhabited by
non-German tribes, Gre 10 DO settled here
after by the representatives Of the people.
a counter assembly, demanding the reception
into New Germany of the entire Austrian En-
pirc, is shortly to be held at Frankfort.
This assembly will issue an energetic protest
against some resolutions of the Welmar AS
sembly, and demand also the conyocation of a
German Parliament which therefore will I'M
doubtedly soon follow. and initiate tho restora-
ton Of the German Empire.
The progress of this German movement ID
of special interest in this country, as it is one
of the best fruits Of the democratic tendencies
of the age, and, should its object be gained,
will constitute one of the most signal and im-
portant trumphs Of democracy.

on the Roman question just at this time is an i'm
portant concession to public opinion. Ions
Napoleon is not ready to risk war against
all Italy. His letter to Thouvenol shows, that
if another method can be discovered to prevent
the consummation Of Italian unity, md to So
cure the French influence by keeping up d.
vision, it will be- resorted to. Muratist agents.
in particular, viii have the aid of the French
Government for another great effort to wrest
Naples aud Sicily from Italy, and restore them to
the Murats; but if they fail, the Emperor IL
not likely to stake the influence Of France in
Italy on the issue of war.
There is another cogent reason why the En-
peror should wish to come to pcaceable I'M
deretaudng with Italy. His projects 10 Mexico
are undoubtedly iar.reachiDg and the POSSIBLE
ity that they may lead to complications with
other American States has been undoubtedly
taken into consideration. The peace policy
pursued in Italy points TO more decided war
policy with regard to Mexico.

Whoever looks carefully at this exhibit~ill

confuse and nisead with regard to their posi-
tions. That Gen. Prices army. which lately
dashed itself TO fragments against the redoubts

1t had been sweled to the utmost for that
bold enterprise. we do not believe but that

ana his ruse on an invasion OF Maryland
should have $4,000 men useless about GordOns-
vile and $4,000 on the Rappahanaock-or even
one-ioarth Of these numbers-is simply incredi-
bic. Lee is not Il Napoleon; he is simply a
snowy cavalry colonel, suddenly transformed into
a respectable Major General-but he does M,
make such gross blunders as this. He leave,
