The great feature of the news this morning
is the tidings OF fight between the Germans
and the Danes, on the disputed Territory ques-
ton This dispute embraces three Dnchies,
having about 800 square miles and one mil l.
ion OF people They are about as large as the
State OF Massachusetts, and embrace one third
of the Danish monarchy
Unless diplomacy is more successful than it
has been hitherto, this collision of arms may
kndle n flame that will light all Europe in n
general conAagration Of war. The effects OF
this will be seen on this side Of the Atlantic
and further news from Europe will be looked
for with the most intense interest W o.Y
1t is proper to add that this has been vex-

1852, when II was supposed to have been set

They occupy Northern Minnesota from

portion Of the State, between Red Lake
