THE WAR NEWS.

Our receipts Of war intelligence yester-
day were infnitesimally small After n storm
comes q calm, is time-bonored proyorb.
The Charleston affair is growing old already,
and though here and there discussed with
something like interest, has ceased to be a
general theme OF conversation. 1t would be
difficult to imagine any concatenation of events
that would really fulfill the character of nine
days wonder in this city; the sinking of half
half before the secoud sunset.
BY the Arago from Port Royal lltb, we
have a mixed assortment of so-called later
news from Charleston. The small steamer
George Washington has been destroyed by the
Rebels in CoOsaw River. The steamer was
making short reconnaissance toward Port
Royal Ferry when the Rebels opened battery
Of rifled six-pounders from behind sand bauk,
aud shelled the boat before those on board
began to suspect the presence of the enemy.
The first shot disabled the steamers machinery,
the second passed through her boiler, and
the third and fourth set her on fire. All the
crew not killed nnd wounded escaped in boats
to the marsh on the opposite of the river, and
then waded back to the dry land on Port
Royal Island Our loss was six killed and
seven wounded. The New IrOnsdes and the
remaining monitors had crossed the bar, and
were about returning to Port Royal Harbor.
The land forces had reembarked on the trans-
ports, and were TO leave for Hilton Head in
the course of Saturday last. The expedition is
virtually at an end. The Arago met several
transports with troops returning to Port Royal.
Gen. Hunter with his command was still at
stono, but was in communication with Ad.
miral Dupont, and was to evacuate that place.
From the South. West we have nothing of
Importance. A little sBirmish with some
Rebel horse thieves near Fort Donelson is
noticed.

has been chosen nothing is known; but that
of course is no consideration, for what would
become of monarchs and monarchies if the as
cension of throne were conditioned on the
qualifications of the candidates The Greeks
have made only one condition, that tho sue
cessors of the King elect must embrace the
faith of the Greek Church. 1t is quite COM
mon for the Princes and Princesses of Europe
to adopt the creed of the Court with which
they may become connected by marriage. The
House of Denmark will undoubtedly not object
to the arrangement on this ground.
The Danish papers, it is said, are generally
opposed to the plan, as the succession to the
Danish throne rests at present exclusively in
tho family of Prince Christian, the father OF
the King elect The King of Denmark has,
however, already intimated his willingness to
consent, provided Prince Christian and Prince
William desire the arrangement and Prince
Williams right of succession to the Danish
throne be reserved. Russia, France, and En-
gland are also satisfied with the arrangement,
which, therefore, is likely soon to conclude the
Greek revolution. The youth Of the new King,
and the grave questions existing in other parts
of Europe, would, in that case. undoubtedly
put off any further serious agitation Of the
Oriental question for several years, to the great
satisfaction of the Grand Powers, which at
present have enough to do with the solution OF
other questions.

GREECE AND THE EASTERN CUES.
TION

The American and Polish questions have for
some months so entirely monopolized public
opinion that all the other unsolved questions Of
European policy, and among them that of little
Greece, have been entirely lost sight Of At
another time her anxiety to find candidate
for the vacant throne, her frequent failures to
find Prince willing to charge himself with
the unwelcome burden, the intrigues Of the
grand Powers in the settlement of her destiny,
and the cOunter-revolution attempted by the
House of Bavaria, might have attracted some
attention; but in view Of questions of so much
graver Importance all this has passed almost
usnoticed.
By the latest intelligence from Europe, we
learn that once more a King has been chosen
this time not by direct vote of the people,
but by that of the National Assembly. The
long delay in performing this act had raised
an expectation that the people, tired OF their
unsuccessful efforts to find King, might try
to dispense with the monarchical form Of gov
ernment altogether. But this depended much
less on the pleasure Of the Greeks, than on
that of the Projecting Powers, and, moreover,
the first step toward an aggrandzement OF the
kingdom, the annexation Of the Ionian Islands,
had been expressly made dependent by England
on the maintenance of a monarchical constitu'
ton. In view Of such an alternative, nothing
else could be expected from the little nation
than quiet submission to the will and pleas
ure of its patrons.

DEMOCRACY ON NEGROES.

The State of Delaware in 1860 had 1,79S
slaves to 1lO,419 free inhabitants. There is
probably not an intelligent person in the State
who does not know that, apart from all con.
siderations of morality and justice, it is the
clear interest Of her people to rid themselves
of Slayery-that her lands would be enhanced
in value by Emancipation to an extent far be-
yOnd the value of all her slaves. But Slavery
is needed for political ends-is means by
which her Bayards and Saulsburys keep in
office, and throw her weight into the scale Of
the Slave Power. Hence she gave her vote
in 1856 to Buchanan, and in 1860 TO Breckin-
ridge, and her representation in Congress is
wholly of the Copperhead persuasion.
At her election last November, q determined
effort was made by her loyal citizens, and
they carried their Governor, William Cannon,
by Ill majority; but were beaten Oh Congress
by 81. and the two lower and less populous
Counties went for Democracy--that is, Slavery
and Rebellion-giving that side two.thirds of
the Legislature, and returning the Hon. James
A. Bayard to the Senate. But Gov. Cannon's
vote was higher than their highest, and gives
promise that the State will soon be Free.
The Democratic Legislature chosen by the
Pro-Slavery minority of her people proceeded
to elect Free Negro law, whereof the pro-
visions are as follows:
SIC No free negro mulstto must henceforh Into
tho ve and any who shall have been absent Ve
days must not return.
