HUDSON, Dec. 29th, '63.
Outbreak of War in Eurone.

Our advices from Europe bring the mo-
mentous intelligence that the Germans have
precipitated hostilities with Denmark, in The
dispute for the dominion of the provinces of
Schleswig and Holstein, and that blood has
been shed. 1t is impossible to calculate the
dimensions to which this war will spread
If not settled upon the offer which England
now makes, to guarantee what Austria and
Prussia had previously demanded of Denmark,
namely, the resembling Of the new liberal Dan
ish Constitution for these Duchies, the War
may involve all Europe. Whether Austria
and Prussia will accept this condition now
that they and the other German States have
rushed into the war, is the question. Other
out compromise.
The smaller German States were dissatisfied
with the terms offered by Austria and Prussia
as they were determined upon the annexa-
tion of the Duchies to the Confederation
They of course will oppose any settlement
upon the terms which England now offers to
guarantee; and now that all have embarked in
the war they may prevent any concessi ons
from Austria and Prussia.
1t would seem fatality to England if she
should involve herselfin this war on a ques-
tion which concerns her SO little It is reason
able to suppose that she will not do it without
strong allies. But Russia is the only Power
to which she can look for alliance in this
cause; and England's remonstrances with Rus
sia in regard to Poland are yet fresh. A cor
dial alliance there, will have to be of sudden
growth. 1t would also seem a fatality to
English diplomacy to become involved in a
war with her ancient German allies, which
France would doubtless enjoy.
1t may be expected that the MEPHIsToPILEs
of the politics of the world, LOUIS NAPOLEON,
will not remain Eneutral spectator in this
war. He has lately been trying to assume
the part of patron of the German Federation.
But little reliance will be placed on the entente
cordiale with England in this juncture.
This is truly what EARL RUSSELL said with
out truth of our war to put down rebellion, 'a
war for empire" on both sides. Unless some
method can be devised, Immediately, to stop
hostlities, and refer the dispute--and this seems
now improbable-it promises to give European
Powers enough to do at home without inter
fering in American affairs; and it may give
them more stringent ideas of maratime neu-
trality-Cin Gazette.

The New GOvernor Of Missouri.

On Tuesday Lieutenant-Governor Willard
P. Hall, communicated to the Legislature of
Missouri a message, announcing the death of
Governor Gamble, whereupon both Houses
resolved to attend his funeral in St. Louis,
and ordered their halls to be draped in mourn
ing. Governor Hall, who is counted among
the strongest of the Democrats, thus con-
cludes his message:
My chief and constant efforts shall be to
cooperate with the Federal Government in
its efforts to suppress the existing rebellion
In doing this, 1 shall not be solicitous to find
fault with the President, with Congress, or
with our Generals in the field 1 shall rather
defer my objections to whatever I may consid-
er blameworthy in the acts of either, to a
more propitious period, and trust to cordial
support of the Government of the United
States to contribute something to the restora-
ton of peace. In this course ] shall expect
to receive the appreciation of yourselves and
the people of Missouri.

what the Sanitary CO ommission Does.

Ransom J. Ellsworh, a brave young soldier
from Hudson, Ohio, was mortally wounded by
a grape shot while with bis regiment, the
Gath Ohio, in the successful assault on Mission
ary Ridge. His father R. P. Ellsworth,
Esq, of II udson, reached him at Chattanooga
before his death and in communication to
the Akron Beacon, thus speaks of the good
works of the Sanitary Commission: EDITOR
BEACoN:-Allow me to tender my thanks to
the various agents and employees Of the San
tiary Commission, for the care bestowed upon
my son, who was fatally wounded at the bat
tie of Missionary Ridge, and conveyed to the
Hospital at Chattanooga, where he died on the
5th instant, and their kind assistance in en-
abliDg me to be with my brave boy in his last
moments, and bring his body home for inter
ment. In common with many others, I had
10 great extent entertained doubts as to the
utility of the Sanitary Commission, honestly
thinking that the Surgeons, officers, agents,
&C., were the principal ones benefited thereby
but my visit to several hospitals, and my ex-
perience and obs ervation, during my brief visit
to the army of the Cumberland, have thor
oughly dissipated those doubts and convinced
me that the Sanitary Commission is one Of the
most blessed institutions of the day, and one of
the most efficient aids of the Government, in
the prosecution of the war against the mon
strous rebellion now seeking its overthrow.
Hoping that the ladies of our various Sol
diers' Aid Societies, will continue to supply the
Commission with means to dispense these
blessings and comforts to our brave boys who
are so unfortunate as to be striken down by
disease or wounds upon the battle field.
l remain yours, &C.,
r. P. ELLSWORTH.

AMERICAN CREDIT ABRoAD.-A Washing
ton letter says some of the passengers by the
late steamer from Europe, just from the Con-
tinent, inform US that the circulation of our
fve-twenty years stock in Germany and Hol-
land is rapidly extending from the banking
firms who imported the bonds from New
York to the manufacturers and merchants of
smaller capital, Throughout the country. A
naturalized citizen Of German birth says that
be was frequently congratulated upon the ia
vsr with which these bonds are taken, on the
high credit of the United States, and the con-
ffdence felt that we are coming out of our
great struggle against the rebellion, not only
with success, but greatly increased strength
of material resources.

NEGRO RECRUITING IN MARYLAND.-Col.
s. NJ. Bowman, of the colored officers exam
iniug board, has inspected the three negro
regiments that General Birney has recruited
in lower Maryland-the Seventh, Nineth and
Nineteenth United States CoIored. He re-
presents that every one of these troops was a
slave-that not one can read or write-hut
that all are learning their soldierly duties with
remarkable quickness. Such good care has
been taken of them by General Birney, that
out of the 5000 only $50 have got sick in the
late trying weather. A fourth regiment is
forming, into which what is left of slavery in
St. Mary's county will soon be absorbed

Hunting White Men With B1oOd-HOunds.
A Union cavalry officer on duty in East
Tennessee, writes
1 have been out with my regiment scouting
for three weeks, in the region lying between
the Tennessee aud Mississippi rivers, north
east of Memphis. For the first few days we
were after a guerilla company who we're en-
gagged in hunting UP, or hunting down con-
scripts with dogs. Brutal and horrible as it
may seem, it is nevertheless strictly true, and
you may depend upon it that at this very hour
hundreds of the people of East Tennessee,
Mississippi, and Alabama are being hunted
down with blood-hounds. I could not realize
it until by the most positive evidence 1 found
it true. We were almost within hearing of
the baying of the hounds, and sent out a
scouting party who came. very near catching
some Of the devils. Ifthey had been caught
they would have received a short shrift.

TERRIBLE OccURRENeE.-On Sunday even
ing, 7tb instant, the dwelling of Mr.. Cots
chalk in Perkiomen township, Montgomery
county, Pennsylvania, was destroyed by fire,
while he and bis wife were absent at church,
some distance from home. Three children
were in the house when the coDfagration oc-
Cured When neighbor arrived, the oldest
one was standing down stairs and was res
cued. The second was also gotten down
stairs, but died almost Immediately thereafter,
and the youngest could not be rescued, the
flames and smoke preventing further access to
the room up stairs in which the fire originated,
and it WAS entirely consumed in the fire.
Not trace of it could be discovered after the
FIRE was over. 1t was left lying in the crib.
It was supposed that the explosion of coal
oil lamp caused the eonhagration. This terri
bic catastrophe should be another warning 70
