The GREcIAN QUEsrIoE.-A European cor

The GREcrAN QUEsrIoN.-A European cor
respondent Of the New York Times writes home
as follows:
The movements in Greece, looking to the eIe
walton of Prince Alfred, of England, to the va
cant throne, is another troublesome affair, which
is becoming more serious every day that the
English Government continues to conceal its
sentiments and purposes. France has spoken
most emphatically on the subject, and Russia
has done the same, but still England remains
pertinacous!y silent When it is remembered
that thirty years ago, these three nations enter
ed into solemn compact, by which all members
OF the families Of the three protecting powers
we're to be forever excluded from the throne of
Greece, it would seem that the one now direct
~ implicated: should promptly disavow all COM
plicity with the popular movement in Greece,
and declare its adherence to the principles of the
London protocol. 1t is not enough for England
to say hereafter that it was an imputation upon
her integrity to call upon Der for this disavowal
and this declaration, and that she never dreamed
OF violating her original engagement. The world
knows too well already how willing is England
to trample upon the most sacred treaty obliga-
lions whenever she can do so with impunity,
and will estimate such assumptions of superior
morality and national integrity at their full value
Nothing, however, is more certain than that
Prince Alfred will not occupy the Greek throne,
and for the simple and only reason that England
dare not accede to the proposition, and thus
place herself in direct conflict with the two 9TH
er great Powers of Europe. She would do so
If she we're not absolutely deferred by sheer fear
OF the certain consequences that would ensue. !"

The traitorous "Knights of the Order Of
the Golden Circle +" at the North have received
instructions from JEFF. Davis to help him BY
dividing the North, by creating civil discord,
and they are now obeying his mandate. He
has arrived at the conclusion that this is now
the only hope Of the success of the Southern
Confederacy. A divided North would insure
the failure of the Government to crush the re-
bellion, and the Southern Confederacy would
then become q fixed fact.
The Chicago Times and other organs of the
(" Knights of the Golden Circle at the North
are doing their Utmost to divide the North,
and thus help their g Southern brethren

EXERCISING THE HIGHEST RIaHr OF FRER
MEN UNDER DIrrlcULTIEs.-Al letter from Suf-
folk to the Baltimore American describes how
detachment of the New York Mounted Rifles,
with howitzer, went out to carry ballot boxes
to the Isle of Wight, Windsor and Smthfeld.
They had left the glorious institution at smith.
field, and were proceeding on their mission to
spread the means of salvation to the inhabi-
tants from the Presidents emancipation proc.
lamation, when some prisoners reported 500
Of Claiborne's Cavalry moving rapidly to in
tercept their return, whereupon they con.
cluded that their own return was rather more
urgent than election returns. By prompt
dash they passed just before the rebels reach-
ed the point. Being pursued they turned and
charged the enemy, captured two cavalrymen
killed number and picked up six guns which
they dropped; and they finally returned from
their lively canvass of the district without
losing man or wagon, but unfortunately
without healing the Union in those places by q
salve of ballot-boxes.-[Cin. Gazette.

There can be no peace for the futuIe of our
country until one system of civilization is es-
tablished over it. Our political Institutions
must be homogeneous to insure concord and
happiness. A system of society based on
slave labor will never live in peace under the
same government with society founded on
free labor. The antagonism is irrepressible
and will always eliminate in civil war. Either
the free labor system must be abolished and
all the States become slave States, or slavery
must be ersdicated and all the States becom
free. The only other alternative is q division
Of the Union and the formation of two nations
But how long would they be. ct peace with each
others

On the subject of emancipation the Governor
says he has long been convinced that the mate
rial interests of Missouri would be advanced by
substituting free for slave labor, and submits .
plan by which the children OF slaves born after
the passage OF the act shall be free, but remain
under the care OF their owners till they have ar.
rived at acertain age. The owner to be compen.
sated for the diminished value of the slave

FAYErrsvnLE, Ark, Dec. 81 Additional
particulars Of the raid to Van Buren, is received.
Our army was 10 miles this side of Van Buren,
yesterday morning and would bivouac on the
mountain top last night, and expected to reach
Prairie Grove again today. Gen. Schoaeld
Joined them a few miles beyond the foot of the
mountains
The steamers Violet, Key West, Rose, Doug
las, Frederick, Erie No. 6, and Van Buren,, with
their cargoes of grain and provisions, were
burned, aleo large amount of army stores.
The rebels burned their Arsenal and ferry
boat at Fort Smith to'prevent their falling into
our hands, also large quantity of forage and
provisions on the opposite bank Of the river.
general confagration was in progress when
our forces left Aaley. Deserters come into onr
Lies. who report that two regiments of Missou-
rians stacked their arms few days ago, crossed
the river and went home. Another regiment OF
Aissourians left b short time after, taking their
arms with them. Two regiments of Texans also
stacked their arms and started fer home. A
regiment Of cavalry started in pursuit, bat In
stead of arresting joined the runswsys. Every
thing goes to show that the rebel army OF the
Trans Mississippi is completely disorganized.
The Arkansas is at . boatable stage, and the
country bordering on the river from point 70
miles below Van Buren, to Little Rock is we'll
provided with forage and food to supply an army.
Our troops are in splendid spirits, having &C
complished most daring and successful raid
without the loss of single life.

CAIRO. Dec. 3l.-The garrison at Corinth are
on half misunderstanding parties, however, are
able to supply the deficiency.
Trains run from Corinth to Jackson and from
Jackson to Holly Springs. Trains run from
jackson to Trenton, and construction trains

son to Moscow is burned, and every bridge be-.
tween Trenton and Moscow. At least, three
miles of trestle work is destroyed, and the pre-.
pared bridge timber along the line of the road,
piled upon the track and burned, thus destroying
the rails and timber together. Some of the
trestle work was too green to burn.

Northern Traitors threatening war.

Northern IfAltOfO Thro0t00IDG war;
The failure of the Administration is complete,
total and irretreveable, and IL Il shall notbe
speedily superseded, We shall look for the re :
moval, during the ensuing three months. OF the
theatre of the war into the States of Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, Maryland and Pennsylvania
(Chicago Times.
Here We have threat from Northern sym
pathizer v ith the rebellion that ualess the cop
per.head Democracy shall succeed in their das-
tardly scheme of revolutionizing the Govern
ment and getting it into their own hands, they
will extend 'the theatre Of the war" into the
loyal States of the North and West
This is the same paper that advocates the
secession of the West from the East, and that is
in favor of casting New England out of the
Union, ,,oleas oolens
The design that u11erlies these revolutionary
schemes of the infs6ous faction that the Times
represents, is too apparent not to be understood.
They labor to create serious divisions at the North
in order to weaken the Government in its efforts
to suppress the rebellion at the South. They
are the instruments of, as they are sympsthizers
with, the Southern leaders, and the part of the
general programme of jeff Davis 4 Co., that
has been assigned to them, is to SOW the seeds Of
distraction, AID cause revolution in the loyal
States. They take advantage of late Federal
reverses and misfortunes, and the consequent
dependency OF the public mind, to create
sentiment favorable to their schemes, prepare.
tory to active attempts at revolution.
These plotters need close watching. They
will embroil the people of the loyal States in a
war, if they can. They will go any length they
dare in order to weaken and embarrass the Ad.
ministration and render aid and comfort to the
Southern Confederacy." They are as much
part of the rebellion as are the soldiers in the
rebel army. They have no desire for restora-
ton of the Union. They have no sympathy
With the loyal cause. Their hopes and efforts
all 90 in the direction of Richmond
Let the people beware of the deep-laid aud
atrocious conspiracy in which these Northern
traitors are engaged. Now, if ever, should we
be mindful of the fact that eternal vigilance is
the price Of liberty. Chicago Tribune.

The Young Mems Christian Association
must have endeared Itself to all Southern
patriots and philaathropists by the gigantic
efforts It has made during the war for the
relief of human suffering and want. Whilst
similar associations ct the North have for.
gotten their Christian character and merged
their organizations into practical war estab-
lishments for the destruction of the lives
and happiness of their fellow men, the
Christian associations of the South have
devoted themselves exclusively to those
works of compassion, of mercy, and OF
charity, which are peculiar to the Gospel, to
feeding the hungry, to clothing the naked,
to binding up their wounds which the war
haA opened, and to soothing, as far as hui
man ministrations can s6othe, those sorer
wounds of the heart which bereavement ia
eausing to bleed every day. 1t Is impossible
to calculate the amount Of good that hui
manity has derived from their labors since
the war began. uorscan any earthly rewards
ever compensate their generous devotion
and Heaven-inspired liberality. In the hearts
Of theis countrymen, in the gratitude OF
widows and orphans. of the poor aud suffer
ing, and In thu final recompenses Of the last
day, VIII be found the only laurels that can
honor such-deeds. and the only rewards that
such ambition cOvets.
The opening lecture OF tina usual winter
course Of the Richmond Association will be
delivered tomorrow night, and the public

probation Of the benevolent labors of the
Society and their desire to encourage AID
sustain its philanthropic objects. The ora
tor for the occasion is one who, on any sub
iect and before any assemblage, deserves to
be welcomed by an overlooking audience
