FROM EUROPE.
Arrival of the North American.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., July TO-
Steamship North American from Liverpool

Cape Race this morning and was boarded by
the News Yacht of the Associated Press and
the following despatch obtained.
Steamship Bavaria from New York, arrived
at Southampton on the 10th.
Parliamentary proceedings on the 10th were
unimportant.
An occasional correspondent of the Times,
writing from Pamunkey river, gives strong
picture of the dishonesty and mismanagement
of the war on the federal side. He says the
courage and resignation of the volunteers are
above all praise, and that they stand hardships
which no European army would submit to
without revolving, which is owing to the igno-
rance and negligence of their generals, and
scaundrelism of money making people. Hun
dreds are slaughtered by the ignorance or
drunkenness of some generals. Notwithstand-
ing that a river and railways reach closely up
to Gen. McClellans army, whole divisions are
for consecutive days without other food than a
few wretched biscuits and more wretched cof-
fee. For days they are without an ounce of
meat, and when they do get it it is salt beef
He argues that Gen. Mcclellan will not risk
an attack on Richmond, prefering the more
secure way of starving out the coniederates.
The Times opposes the cry from Manchester
in the production of cotton. 1t says govern
ment can do nothing which the manufacturers
cannot do much better, and also that govern
ment interference would not only be lmpossl-
pie, but In the higher degree preludicial. what

A few days ago, We commenced the pubI;.

We do not, like the Prsts, propose to rs.

should be very great asses to do ANYTHING
of the kind. We do propose, however, TO
publish as much telegraphic news as it

not to blame. We may be ever so sorry

WindOn are to be hung at Braxton, C. H.

the following particulars concerning the
murder:
The young man murdered was not a SOL
der. he was young man ls or 10 years
old, an orphan, came over from Ohio with
the army, as an attache to an officer. When
at Gilmer c. H., last summer, the officer
proposed to a farmer acquaintance of his
from Bra1ton county, then in camp, to take
the young man home with him TO work on
his farm, as he was not in very good health
He went home with the farmer, but after
remaining with him few weeks, he started
on his return to the camp at Gilmer, C. H.
He stopped at the house of II. Kuhl to rest.
Mrs. kuhl went to the meadow, some little
distance from the house, where her husband
and son, and Windon were moving, and
informed them there was a Union soldier
in the house. The elder Kuhl told her to
go back aud tell the soldier to come ont to
the meadow to them. In the mean time
his murder was decided upon By the elder
kunl and Windon, the young Kuhl not con-
senting. When the young man came out
10 the meadow, the old man Kuhl approach
ed him sythe in hand and with single blow
served his head from his body. He and
Windon then ripped open his bowels aud
thrust in the head and then threw the
body into ditch near by and covered it
up. This is the substance of the old
mans confession, as to the murder. When
