EuRopE PERPLExED A. TINE vrTw OF THE
Mn4rARy zoF Il TfIR 10 MON Id war in Amer
ca is sweeping over the land with the velocity
and destructi yeness of d hurricane, and all the
ordinary feelings and pursuits of men are alb
sprbed in its vortex. Bulletins from the army,
succeed each other with rapidity enough to salts
fy even the appetite of the New York public,
sharpened as il was with twelve months famine.
The scale Of operationsis absolutely tremendous.
The Fedetals have 100000 men in arms, and the
army estimates actually voted for the present
year. exceed Gl25,000000 sterling. These for
ces are no longer stationary.
In the East as well as the West, they are SO
actively engaged, that every mail brings us the
intelligence of battle, an attack, an advance or
a conquest President Lincoln was right enough
when, in his homely language, he described the
war as big job. 1t is about the biggest job of
the kind ever seen, no mere ninety days bust
ness or temporary disturbance. The Instruction,
which Mr.. Seward believed to be waning at the
close OF the last year, now covers half CONT
nent with desolationfan havoc, and we are
warned that the battles known to be immient
will exceed in severity any hitherto fought. ~
n rel ~ tas*a5le{ sz*ta ass3*~raqA
The whole story is mystery, as well as mar
vel. 1t is almost as hard to believe what has oc
Cured as to imagine what will ultimately haps
pen. Twelve months have changed an untaxed
republic into two military confederacies, engag-
ed in desperate war with each other, and bur
dened already with debts exceeding in charge
the national debt of Great Britain. The number
Of men actually maintained in arms for upwards
of year is something Incredible. From pop
ulation smaller than that of these islands, the
Northerners have not only sent 100000 yolun;
teers into the field, but have kept them there
since last summer. No wonder that trade is
paralyzed' and industry neglected.
In fact, there is now but one trade in Ameri-
ca, and that is the trade of war. We know that
it is traffic which can never end in gait, lbut
the Americans are embracing it. With all its
costs and consequences, as tho most enrapturing
pursuit 10 the world. No difficulties daunt enc
party, no defeats appal the other and while all
Europe is perplexed at the spectacle set before
them, New York is enchanted with the position
and prospects of the nation. 1t is at least, how
ever, satisfaction to reflect that no European
Power can be blamed for any incident of this
dreadful war.-London Times. ef

The New York correspondent of the Boston
Journal has the following relative to the news
paper:
1.-The Press is mighty power in this city as
elsewhere. All classes and conditions read.
1t is not often that a man, in car or omnibus can
be seen without paper, any more than he can
be see without a hat. Men buy and sell by the
press-yacate an audience room or rush to fill
the seats, the little cabin of the editors of our
daily press gives the sound of rebute or favor.
A new actor; has to pass the ordeal of the press
before he or she can be sure of popular favor
Men by real estate aud invest their gains as the
editor dictates They buy their books as the lit
erary column censures or approves. A candidate
for public favor must conciate the press and
make his bow to the fraternity editorial or he
will fail. The other day it was rumored that
one of the banks had made nice little thing out
OF the Treasury. Much feeling was excited,
and the press spoke out. A telegraph from
Washington in explanation told how officials
feared the stroke Of that little implement might
Ter than the sword.
A merchant of New York has been doing
business in Maiden Lane for years-a snug and
safe one. Ee was Of the old school, lie dis
dained to call in the aid of any new-fangled
modes to control trade. Every tub must stand
on its own bottom. He asked nothing of the
Press. He would not thank any editor in the
land to give him all the puffs and laudation he
could put in his columns But trade run away
from him. His wares would not SELL The war
came on and he was about used up. He was
man of sense. he saw that men who advertised
had business, and money spent in this way was
like seed corn. He sent out a few--went on
from paragraph to column He now advertses
more largely than any man in New York, except
Bonner. / have seen an entire column in the
Journal with his name added to it, saw him

oution in his trade-thet he had more to do
than he could possibly turn out. He is on the

The COWARD AND THE HERo.-A correspon-

I" Hurry up! Show your wound" At the risk
of his life, he yet fumbled and fumbled- shame
