LATER FROM EUROPE.

GREAT BRITAN.--The question of iron
batteries continues to attract great attention.
Mr.. Bentwick had given notice in the
House of Commons, that he would move an
amendment to Mr.. Osbome's resolution, de-
claring it inexpedient to proceed with the
Notifications, to the effect that the Govern
ment be empowered to apply the money
voted for fortifcations to the construction
of iron sheathed vessels.
The Times says that it is understood that
orders are in the course of transmission to all
the dock-yards to suspend any further ope-
rations upon wooden ships.
The leading journals continue to urge, edi-
tonally, the necessity for iron fleets.
The Morning Post calls attention to the
improvements America Is making in ord
nance, the weight of the shot thrown by the
Monitor being nearly double that used on
board Of any Of the British ahiPs,

to the Times, describing things past that never

f7y- TIE PRESENT WAR AND ITS RI

The PRESENT WAR AND ITS ltE-
srLrs.-we have, thus far, said but little
or obtrudcd Our own opinions in regard to
the results of this wicked rebellion. We
have preferred giving the facts, as part Of
the history of this "grand drama of guilt
and treason" This war will not, however,
have been in vain 1t has already cleared
away many doubts as regards the strength of
our Government and established many facts
that would have been deemed impossible.
Among these are the enormous resources of
the North, not only in its organization of
the greatest and most formidable army the
world ever saw, but its financial ability in
sustaining this immense army without any
pcrccptiblo privation or suffering among the
people, or much depression in business, ex-
ccpt in our commercial cities. The North,
as well as the South, has learned q lesson
that nothing but such a conflict could have
taught them, namely, that the North is the
superior of the South, not only in civilization
and intelligence, but in every attribute that
ennoblcs humanity. Only small portion of
the enormous wealth expended in this war
is lost The money is still in the country.
The only sufferers, to any extent, are the
wealthy, whilst the masses will be the
gamers in the general distribution.

rW THE Brcckinridgc Bible, OF this place,
Gays We cndeavored to make the people
believe that the Democratic nominees of
last fall were all Secessionists." We did no
such thing, but stated distinctly that several
of the candidates were entirely unexception-
able. Had it not been for these candidates,
especially the President Judge, the ticket
would have been beaten 500 i'll the county.
The Breckinridgers knew this, and acted
accordingly. The vote of this county, which
gave the President Judge majority of 600
shows also, that some of the Breckinridgers
made marvellous escape from defeat. We
called no one Scccssionist, but asserted that
some of them had strong secession proclivi-
ties and sympathies, and subsequent events
have satisfied many, who were then unbelie-
vers. that we were right. We have no desire
10 stir up past events, and have only to say,
that we have nothing to retract, and stand
by all we uttered, until the contrary is made
to appear.
1t certainly does not require a Solomon tc
decide what the proclivities or feelings of an
editor are, who could, at these times, stig
matise such a man as Parson Brownlow
(whatevcr his eccentricities may have been,
and yet aid in giving testimonial to Parsor
Hedges, whose thin skinned loyalty woult
not permit him to vote for resolutions il
conference denouncing the wicked ant
unhallowcd outragcs of the rebels. Thes'
records will loom up fearfully in the future
like Banquo's- ghost, and many who have
openly avowcd these principles, will ask th'
world for the charity of its silence, and pra.
that the past may be buried in oblivion.

SIR At the close of the conflict of yester
day, my forces, being exhausted by the extra
ordinary length of time during which they
were engaged with guns on that and the pre-
ceding day, and it being apparent that you
had received and were still receiving rein
forcements, felt il my duty to withdraw my
troops from the immediate scene of the con-
f1ict. Under these circumstances, in accord
ance with usages of war, | shall transmit this
under flag of truce, to ask permission to
send mounted party to the battle field of
Shiloah, for the purpose of giving a decent
intement to my dead. Certain gentlemen
wishing to avail themselves of this opportu-
nifty to remove the remains of sons and
friends, must request for them the privilege
of accompanying the burial party, and in
this connection deem il proper to say that
i am asking only what have extended to
your own countrymen und similar circum-
stances.

Dawes, Republican, which, though in it.
sclr, not unintcrcsting, is principally of a

s4y The following extract from the sha-
mokin Register, has been handed to US for
publication. We had intended to note the
scurrilous article to which II refers, but we
well let the writer speak himself so far as
relates to the recruiting service Fault finders
are as easily classified and distinguished
from patriots as were the tories of old:
editor Shamokin Register:
SIR: | saw an article in the Breckenridge
bible, published in Sunbury, sneering at the
recruiting service, and saying each officer
was paid St25 per month, and had not OBJ
tanned single recruit in six months. Now
when Mr.. Purdy says this he asserts that
which is untrue. According to the late army
regulations, every office in the recruiting
service is bound to send three men every ten
days or he will be removed. And Mr.. Purdy
should be ashamed of himself to cast rcflec-
tions on men who are trying to serve their
country in this, its darkest hour, when it is
assailcd by men of doubtful loyalty, and who
would like to see the minions of JEFF. Davis
conquer us. The Northumberland County
Democrat has done more to embarrass the
recruiting service in this county than all
others combined. l think when men talk as
Mr.. Purdy does, they should go to the South
and aid jeff. Davis, sustain the bogus Con
federacy, and not stay in the loyal states
and by his influence, if he possesses any, en-
deavor to crush out freedom by publishing a
sheet that is disgrace to journalism in the
free and loyal states. If your are dcsirious
rs you say you are, to see the present rebel
lion brought to successful issue, why not
encourage those who have gone to fight the
battles of their country, and shoulder mus
ket yourself in defense of your rights, if you
are as loyal as you pretend to be. But say
without a fear of contradiction, that there is
not a Breckenridge Democrat from North
umberland county in any regiment now en-
gagged in fighting against the minions o.
Davis, Cobb, Floyd IL Co." j. {.
