Wehsve the gratifying news to record
that Chattanooga is in the possession Of
Roseerans. The rebels evacuated the
place on Tuesday, and are in full retreat
South. Thus fly the enemies of the Gov
srEment before the advancing and conquer
ing battalIions Of the Union.
The siege Of Wagner and Sumter goes
steadily on. According to last accounts
Wagner had not replied for two
days 10 6ilmofe's heavy and constant bonn
bardment. There is 8 report thOt Morris
Island has been evacuated BY the rebels.
The report is confirmed.
Colonel Hill, Of the rebel army, sought
an interview with General Custer, of the
Union army. General Custer crossed the
the Rsppahannock. During the interview
Colonel Hill remarked, conhdentially, TO
General Custer that peace was near at
hand. Other rebel officers made the same
assertions, but all declined to give the
grounds for the statements. Perhaps they
rely Upon the CoPperheads Of the North to
cripple the Government and force . peace
ct the expense of the Union.

days ago by 3 Cape May correspondent of
the Evening Post, is discussed BY The
Hartford Times, which says:
e The same action has been for some
time observed in other places along the
Atlantic coAst and has been particularly
marked in Fairneld county, Connecticut,
along the sheres Of Long Island Sound,
where the steady wearing away and sub
sidence Of the shore, and the advance of
the tide waters on the land, has been noted
and commented on. 1t was more particu
larly demonstrated some thirteen years
ago, when party OF credulous persons
engaged for many weeks in wild enter
prise Of fdigging up certsin heaps OF treas
ure said TO have been buried century or
Two previous on the shore, in (if we re-
member rightly the town Of Stratford.
Cautiously enough, they did find the head
stones snd stakes which we're reported to
have been placed over or near the buried
treasure, though they never found the
gold and silver itself! and these stakes
and stones were covered with water, even
ct lew tide, were several rods from the
shore, and had every appearance of hav-
ing been submerged for at least a century.
Old residents can remember when the
shore extended two or three rods further
ont than it now does.
"Perhsps, however, the most. striking
exhibition TO be found at any place on the
entire Atlantic coast in America, Of the
effects Of the sea IN wesring away the
land, is that presented by the southern
side Of Block Island, where the Cliffs
are. Here, for distance of nearly
mile, the plunging sIrf, laundering upon
the shores for ages, was worn away by the
base Of the clay hills, leaving them Rs ab-
rupt in many places as a wall. Rising
boldly and perpendioulariy to the height
of some two hundred feet, those beneath
them which cannot well be done at high
water or in storm, present a very i'm
preesiVe sight. Some Of them exhibit
highly fantastic formations In places
they are seen beetling and shelving over
ths abyss, as if ready to fall in others
they rise in sharp pinnacles, like minis-
ture Alps or Andes. It is evident that q
considerable part Of the island has been
worn away or swallowed upby the sea, on
both sides; for old men now living there
can remember when the sandy point
where the lighthouse is, extended out more
than mile further than it now does, and
tell Of having picked blackberries on
place which is now mile ont in the sea.
This enaroaehment Of the sea seems to be
general rule all along the northern
coast, and h extends to the Arctic re-
gions.p

Commercial Crisis in AEstrin--COttOn.
The Paris Pstrie says that letters re-
eeived from Vienna give information to
the following effect:
An intense commercial and agricul-
tural crisis prevails at this moment
throughout the provinces Of the Austrian
empire. The manufacturing districts suf-
fer from the deaFness of cotton, and are
also at the same time affected by the gen.
eral stagnatiOn Of trade in Europe and by
the cessation Of exports TO Poland. The
reports respecting the state Of manufac-
lures and trade at Vienna are depIOrable.
The retail traders strusgle in vain against
the crisis, and are evidently becoming de-
moralized under the effect Of the CONNER
Oial failures and the consequent distress Of
the working classes. The same state Of
things exists in nearly every town in
Austria; in the provinces the long contin-
ued drought, which is much more severely
felt there than in France, has converted
the most fertile plains into deserts. In
the eomitsts Of Hungary vegetation is COM
pletely burnt up, every kind Of live stock
is perishiDg for want Of forage and water,
and in many villages their carcasses lie on
the roads. The same distressing news Is
received from lower Austria, from the en-
virons Of Fiehna, and from the Richest az
ricultUral district Of Moravia.

TIE Burning Of stevens Iron Works.
Our readers will remember that the
iron works Of the Hon. Thaddeus
Stevens, near Lancaster, were destroyed
by the rebels in their last foray in Penn
sylVsnis. When jenkins appeared in that
region with his cavalry, some copperheads
hastenedto paint out this property and
beg the rebel general to destroy it, inform
ing Jenkins that Stevens had some fine
saddle horses that he might steal at the
same time. jenkins demanded the horses.
and promised if they were given up TO
spare the buildings. They were given up.
This was on Tuesday. On Thursday the
rebel eensral Early appeared and ordered
the destruction Of the buildings. The man
ager OF the works demonstrated, and called
10 mind the stipulation made on Tuesday
with General Jenkins. General EARLY re-
piled that Stevens had been active against
the Confederecy and had done the cause
more harm than any other man in Con-
gress, and they would therefore make an
example Of him. He regretted that he had
not captured the proprietor with the works.
" No doubt you would give him berth in
Libby said the manager. "No sir" said
the General; "I would hang him on the

Anxious as the ineomprebensible
Frenchnan, who al present gaides the des-
TIMES Of the French Empire may be to
recognize the "GOnfedeFaoy,' - aud as much
IS he may deem it necessity, growing
out Of the eKigencies Of Mexican affairs,
yet, he is not in circumstances to enable
him to do it with safety An act Of re-
oOgnitiOn would be an act of war against
the United States. Napoleon is not yet
prepared to invite the hostility of the
United States. Il requires a standing
srny now to hold Mexico in subiHgstiOn.
This affords ample employme for the
Franeo-Mexican army. An equal, or
greater number which would be necessary
70 back up recognition, he cannot immedi-
atsly furnish. Besides, the power of the
United States is significantly recuperalive,
while that of the rebellion is weakening &
and crumbling Victories next month at
the ballot box, and victories in the field,
viii put at rest the question Of French or
English intervention. Intervention on
the part Of either or both, would be re-
garded as a challenge to arms. The chal-
lsDge would be accepted, for it could not
be put by. A war with The United States
would cost Napoleon his throne, for other
complications would develop themselves,
which would press hard upon Napoleon
and lead to important results, and his
mushroom throne might be easily made to
rock. AID if var with England did not
result in giving an incurable wound
in vital point by sweeping her commerce
from the seas, but also in the permanent
loss Of her American possessions, then we
much underrate the spirit Of the Ameri-
can people. But We have no present e1-
PeotatiOn Of any such resuls, for Napoleon
IL knaye, is not a fool, and Joha Bull
IL 6rickey and treaohsrOus, is not totally
blind.

Indian disturbances still continue. The
Indians driven across the Missouri riv-

turning, tits difficult to perceive the valu-
able results attained by his expedition A

H The news was brought by half breed
Sioux, and was considered reliable at the

been driven back by hostile Indians to this

Mexican Romance.

The Paris correspondent Of the London
Times relates that among the Mexican
prisoners brought to France recently Is
young Indian woman, only twenty-three
years ago, who was Lieutenant-Colonel Of
the regiment Of Zscatteoas, and sWho, IN
the course Of seven years, rose step by
step, from the ranks, by her courage and
talents. Originally she followed her hus-
band te the army, and was soon promoted
10 the rank of second lieutenant for her
distinguished bravery. The death Of her
husband, killed in action, Afforded her an
opportunity Of avenging him and OF ris-
ing another step. The French defeat at
Gusdaloupe, on the 9th Of May, 1867, OBJ
tanned for her the rank Of lieutenant col
onel, in which position she again greatly
distinguished herself during the siege Of
Puebla.
This singular woman is said to handle
the sword like frst-rste fencing master
and she made herself not cnly respected
but feared by her soldiers, who looked up
on her as a supernatural being. Aftei
Ortega surrendered at discretion, at Pue
bla, she was brought 10 Vera Cruz, and
was lodged on board the RhOne until tha
vessel sailed for France. Her order o
embsrkation mentioned her rank, ant
gave her right TO cit 81 the field officers
table. She is said to be Of agreeable per
sonal appearance, although, as might b
expected, rather masculine in her ways.

The uccup.s,on or Kuoxvi,,e.


General Burnsids's advent into East
Tennessee is most auspieiOus event. The
possession Of thisregion was Of essential,
vital moment TO the rebels in military
psint Of view, and By them has always
been 50 regarded. Though great battle
was not fought, the occupation of Knox
vile is none the less a great victory.
General Burnsides dificult march over the
mountains from KentRoky to Tennessee
has been most skilfully and rspidiy per.
formed, and will Be regarded as one Of the
erOWaing achievements Of the war. Why
his march was SO nearly unmOlested. why
his occupation of Knoxville was not dis
puted, can be accounted for on no other
ground than that Ofthe crippled and dilap-
idatsd condition Of the rebellion.
Burnside i, now in possession Of the
great railroad lines, and communications
between him and Roascrans are establish
ID. It is not now in the power Of the rebel
lion to dislOdge the Union forces, and East
Tennessee may be regarded as permanent
II redeemed.

When the rebels fred on Sumter, on the
18th Of April, 1851, they had an "infOrm-
al" gsthsring IN Montgomery, Alabama,
when the Secretary Of War, Walker, spoke
% follows:
aNo man could tell where the war this
day commenced would end but he would
prophecy that The flag which now haunts
the breeze here would float over the dome
Of the old capitol At Washington before the
1st of Nay. Let them try Southern chiv
airy and test the extent of Southern re-
sources, and it might fOat eventually over
Faneuil Hall itsslf"
There is no doubt the rebel leaders have
been vastly disappointed in the turn Of
events. They believed that their cOnspira-
cy had been SO well matured that through
Floyd they had SO stolen the arms and
means Of defense from tie Government
and through Toucey had so dispersed the
Navy, as to make an easy conquest of the
Government and the Capital. They had,
also, in the ehivalrous exercise Of their
supreme contempt, made themselves be-
lieve that the Yankees would not fight
and they also counted upon having, in the
outset, what the COppsrheads are now try
lag to produce, nsmely-a divided North

In Denmark the farmers are bound By
law to destroy the corn-marigold, and in
France a man may sue his neighbor who
neplects to eradicate the thistles which
grow upon his land OF the proper season.
In Austria similar regulation has been
imposed by legislative authority, with, 1t
is said, beneficial results. In Canada, we
believe, ensctments have been issued
against allowing thistles to ripen on the
rOadsides and exposed situations, both from
the legislature and township Corporations !
and it is passing strange that such impor-
tant and beneficial regulations, on the
proper observance Of Which both priYals
and public wealth is 50 closely dependent
should in many districts become practical

firm stand should be taken, not only
