The Inevitable Results OF ehe Hostility
OF the Western Powers OF Europe to
This Republtc!

The Inevitable kesults OF the Hostility
OF the Western Powers OF Europe TO
This Repubiic!
The United States, before the outbreak of the
present rebellion, were the wonder, fear and
admiration Of Europe. The governments dread
ed the example Of successful republic; the
subjects envied the prosperity and grandeur Of
people whom they wished to initiate. The
French Revolution produced . republic which
was the fear Of all other European govern
ments, until II became an empire under the
command of the great captain who rose to such
splendid power through the influence Of the so
much dreaded republic. Since that date the
despots OF Europe have had naught to fear
from republican Institutions save from the
example OF these States. The revolutions of
1880 and ls4s passed away quickly, leaving
France under the rule Of king or emperor
But the United States were steadily progress
ing, and esch year saw their power and vast
prosperity Increase. until at last Il was evident
that the thrones Of the despots Of Europe were
tottering. Their downtroddcn subjects pointed

drawing near when a universal change was at
hand The long endured governments Of Europe
seemed to have reached that point where the
forbearancc and .sui'erancc Of the people could
no longer be counted upon.
At this moment came the rebellion OF the
Southern States. and the frightened dcspots saw
in this fearful mistake OF a portion Of the Ame-
rican people chance for safety. for continue
tion OF their power. They hastily seized upon
the opportunity TO injure the republic they 10

FoRr SUMTER AS IT s.-We publish In an
other part Of to-day's paper an illustration of
Fort Sumter rs il appeared on the day Of the
night that General Gilmore finished the siege
of that work, followed by sending shells and
Greek fire into Charleston, the 23d nit. Every
body who has sailed up Charleston harbor will
remember, as they approached the city frem
the sea, the towering and formidable proper
tions OF the fort; yet that great work, by the
superior military skill of General Gilmore,
with the aid Of big guns and the unerring accu-
racy OF aim Of our cannoniers, after few days
bombardment, has been reduced to the con-
dition exhibited by our Illustrations mass
of debris and ruins-a heap Of rubbish. The
fort, with the artificial island upon which it is
der the superintendent Of one Of the best en-
gineers in our service---Captan (now Brigader
GeneraD McCullum. Its walls were built of
brick and concrete, and were from eight and
one-half to twelve feet in thickness. Since its
possession by the rebels its supposed original
formdability was strengthened by the aid of
saudbags and heavy timber, and long ago and
~ ulutIcHt utHoS tu6 TcDcl JOuTudlS, iuAlithTy
men and engineers announced its impreg-
inability. How wide of the mark these
opinions are 10 the facts of to-day. The face
of our illustration shows the southwest angle
Of the fort. The gorge, lately crowned with a
heavy line of ordnance, looking lover Morris
Island, Is but o mass of ruins. Portions Of the
left angle still stand; but it is considerably
shattered and honeycombed. The centre and
right are completely battered to fragments, and
from the crest of the parapet to the waters
edge are covered with debris. The sallyport
is buried by masses of brick and mortar falling
from the parapet upon the heavy sand barri-
cades the rebels had but partly finished. The
angle is battered down, and from that point to
the exteme edge of the southeast face the wall
is full Of huge craters. All the guns on the
gorge are dismounted. The fort is no longer
Of value to the rebels as work of defence.
Practically its reduction is accomplished. To
day 1t is monument to the folly of secession
and the immense force of Heaven and heavy
artillery.

GENERAL McCLEI.LAN's REPoRTs-It was
stated in our Washington correspondence yes
tcrday that the War Department has given
General Hunter charge of General McClellan's
reports Of his campaigns in Virginia, in order
to examine them with view to decide whether
they are worthy of publication. The idea of
insulting General Mcclellan by submitting his
reports to- the judgment of an officer who
ranks beneath him in the service, and who 30
signa!ly failed in South Carolina, is worthy of
Mr.. Stanton and quite in keeping with the rest
of his conduct towards General Mcclellan.
The bulk Of the reports and the expense Of
publication are urged as objections. If the
War Department does not want them published
at the expense Of the Treasury just let it return
them to General Mcclellan, who can easily find
. publisher in New York who will give twenty
thousand dollars for the manuscript. II they
are not published at once the country will
come to the conclusion that 1t is because there
Is too much truth in them for the Washington
officials.

MR.. BRADY DEcLfNHs THE HONoR5.--The

1t is very probable that NJ. Brady has had
bis eyes opened to the events of the last two
years, including the fate OF Daniel s. Dickinson.
Mr.. Brady. It Is true, has made war speeches.
So have we all. But he regards the vigorous
prosecution Of the wcr as one thing. and its mis-
management as another. lie clearly sees the
distinction between supporting the administra-
ton when It Is right and supporting II when Il
Is wrong. Poor old Dickinson cannot see the
difference; but he Is more of a woman than his
namesakc, Anna Dickinson, with whom he
ought to have exchanged his ser and pan-
falcons. Mr. Brady Is o war democrat and
wants The Union restored under the constitu-
ton; but he Is not prepared to endorse all the
bad measures Of the last Congress and Of the
administration, against which tho gorge OF the

A NEW NEWSPAPER IN WALL SrREEr.-We no
ice an advertisement in our columns which
bodies no good to the Journal Of Commerce.
@Several gentlemen. capitalists and professional
men" says the advertisement, "have recently
formed an association for the issue in this city
of new daily journal, Of the largest size and of
the folio form, TO be devoted mainly to the com.
mercial interests Of the community" "In poll
tics II will be staunchly loyal" "The stock Of
the association Is divided into one hundred and
fifty shares of 81 900 each, Of which one hum
dred shares have already been taken"
All this looks bad for the Journal Of
Commerce, which will collapse If any Of
its present patronage be withdrawn. We
remember the time, vsome twenty years ago,
when the Wall street journals ruled the roast.
The HERALD has extinguished nearly all Of
them, and now this new paper viii be the
death of the Journal Of Commerce, as the World
swallowed up the Courier and Enquirer. or
course the new paper will die Immediately
afterwards but that will not save the Journal,
which was started as niggerhead organ, is
now published as q copperhead organ, and will
soon be deadhead organ. Let Its editors pur-
chase q lot in Greenwood and make prepara-
tions for q decent funeral. We will volunteer
