THURSDAY, JULY Q, 1868.
TaR OPENING OF THE mzssIs-

~ sIPpI.
There can be no doubt that the fall
Of Vicksburg secures the opening Of
the Mississippi, at most within week or
two. Gen. Grant can at once detach suf-
ticent force to increase Gen. Banks army
80 largely, that resistance on the part Of
the rebels at Port Hudson would be mad
ness OF course It must soon surrender on
demand The Mississippi, one Of the two
great water courses Of the continent will
therefore soon be alive with steamers,
bound to and from the great commercial
emporium Of the Cult
In military point Of view this cuts the
Confederacy in two, and its importance in
that regard can scarcely be oyerestimated.
Texas, which has, to q very large extent,
furnished beef for the rebels is, it is to
be hoped, permanently severed from the
Richmond junta Of conspirators- Missis-
hppi, as well as Louisiana, are beyond
their grasp, and from Arkansas they can
hope for no further aid. All these States
must gradually and surely yield to the
authorities, If they do not Immediately re-
turn to the Federal Union. Look at the
map and see to how narrow territory the
traitor crew are reduced. Southern Vir-
ginia, portions Of North, Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama are all that
are left to them. East Tennessee, though
in rebel hands is really loyal, and
Florida docs not amount to enough
to give the rebellion any real strength.
And beaides General Grants army,
after sufficient force has been detached
to reinforce Banks and take Port Hudson,
and render him complete master of the en-
tire Southwest, can march eastward and
joining Rosecrans. finish whatever work
remains to be done in the direction of
Charleston. To cut the boasted Confede-
raey again at Chattanooga is one ofthe very
first things to be done. That will iberate
noble, loyal East Tennessee, q consumma-
ton for which every patriot most devout-
II prays. In military point
ofyiew, coupled with the crushing defeat
Of Lees grand army-by far the largest,
the best appointed, and most powerful the
rebels have ever been able to bring into the
field. patriots may hope that they begin to
see the winding up Of this causeless and
most wicked rebellion. Doubtless the trait
o1s Will make Hercu1ean cfforts,and the end
is not yet; but let vigorous, telling blows
continue to be dealt out On all sides by our
armies, and, with Gods blessing, the peace
and the unity Of the nation will soon again
be established.
We might dwell upon the commercial
advantages which the opening Of the Mis-
aissippi will bring to the West and the
Nation but these are so obvious that they
will at once suggest themselves to all our
readers.

REVIEW OF EUROPEAN
POLITICS.

AusIf1a ha6 at last agreed to take part In .
Conference for the settlement Of the Polish
question; and by our Last advises, q courier
had arrived in Paris with note from Austria
to this effect: Count Rechberg, the Austrian
Minister, Was about to dispatch the eI1 pro-
positions to st. Petersburg, andi It WIS under
ttood that he would propose what has since
been sgreed upon-that the parties to the
treaty Of 1916 should mediate between Rus
ela and Poland. The Conference is to be
composed Of the representatives Of the eight
powers which, on the 18th Of June, 1915,
signed the final net Of the Treaty Of Vienna,
VIZ: Austria, Spain, France, Britain, Portu-
gal, Prussia, Russia and Sweden. Lord john
Russell had used his utmost powers Of elo-
'qucnt, diplomatic persuasion, in trying to In
duce Count Rechberg to join England in a de-
m1nd to Russla that ehe should suspend hos
tilitles against Poland pending the Confer
cnce, but the Count WAS too wary, and too
conscious Of the traditions Of despotic Gov
ernmcnt, to venture upon such n course.
Els Majesty, he said, could not treat with
rebels any more than the Federal Government
could treat with them, and limited that it
would be difficult, if thero were no other dif.
dculty In the way, to do SO In the case of Rus
sia with Poland, inasmuch MS the Inter had
no visible and tangible Government where
with to treat. At any rate, the Count declin-
cd, and there is good reason to hope that the
question will be adjusted without involving
Europe in general war, as the prospect was
awhile ago, and might yet have been immf-
-~~* II penhla had not fallen. and thus satitied
to an extent, and for the present, the French
love Of glory. There is no donbt, that ut one
time Napoleon seriously meditaled IN armed
interference on behalf Of Poland, and the war
would have been popular in France.
PRUSSIA,
One would think, looking at all the cir.
cumktances of her condition, was on the
eve Of tremendous revolution, although 1t
is not unlikely that the storm will blow over,
owing to the unaccountnble apathy of the
people, who. from nation Of brave Nberalists,
stem 10 hare sunk into q nation Of pltiful
slaycs. The idiot King Of that great country
has done all that he could do to goad the
neople into rebellion, and has struck within
The last few weeks ut the most sacred p1ivil-
egts Of ftcemen, and trampled them under his
feet He began his mad career three Year,
ngo, by increasing the term of service In the

Since the late invasion of PENNSYLVANIA,
it has become the fashion in Copperhead
and secession prints to abuse the Union
Leagues They are attacked with a ven
ON and a rancor Of feeling unparalleled
in the history Of treason. The Union and
the Government have found resting spell
from their assaults, and the whole pack
Of traitors are now in full cry against the
Union Leagues, and especially the Leagues
ofPhiladelplia and Baltimore.
What are the causes which have ami
mated this furious and concerted attack :?
Simply these: A powerful and well disci-
plined army-the very flower Of rebeldom,
under their ablest General, was oyerrun-
ming Pennsylvania and Maryland, and
their 1egions were laundering almost at
the very gates Of Baltimore and Phil
adelphia. Their Copperhead allies were
giving them aid and comfort, guild
ing them On the way, feeding and
clothing them, and lending them every en-
couragement which should assist them in
their netarious designs. The voices of the
Executives sounded the alarm, and sum
moned the people to arms for the defence
Of their hearthstones. Who sprang to
armsa The noble members Of the Union
League. They inaugurated thorough
system ofsupplies for the volunteers. In
Philadelphia they raised three regiments
from their councils, and not content with
this, subscribed bounty which will speed
lily fill fourth. They were lavish of their
means and their influence, and unsparing
of their individual exertions. On that
Monday night, when the alarm was sound
ed that the rebel cavalry were approaching
Baltimore, the Union Leagues buck1ed on
their a1mor, and sprung into the trenches.
The glorious patriotism which in past days
saved Fort McHenry, and gave immortal
names for monumental inscriptions,
burned anew in the Union Leagues. It
was a night rally Baltimore will never
forget.
1t is for these reasons that the Copper
head prints are so venomous in their at
tacks. It is because the Union Leagues
carry the old Flag at their head, and have
determined to defend it; because they
have struck hands, and sworn to stand by
the Government as it struggles with trail
tors; because they abide by the Declare
ton Of Independence given us by our
fatbers; because they were striving to adj
vance not alone country, but also liberty,
human progress and Christian ciyiliza-
ton. Hence copperhead abuse and
wrath The war has presented no more
glorious spectacle than the gathering Of
the Union Leagues at the note Of danger,
when timid men sat shivcring and North
ern traitors went about the streets chuck
ling to themselves at the prospect of detri-
ment 10 the Republic on Northern soil.
When some future Prescott writes the
history Of this war, his pages Will glow
with the patriotism Of the Union Leagues,
