It then proceeds to declare that it is
of the highest importance that the
party now return to its old devotion 10
the South, and 10 slavery; and il urges
its brethren for their own sake-for
the sake Of that domestic peace, to pre-
serve which is the most important
duty Of all civil goveFnment--it is of
the highest moment that they resist
every attempt, coming from within or
without their party, for their democrat
ization."

European News.

The latest news from Europe is any
thing but pacific. Austria appears mea-
surably inclined to moderation but
Prussia viii heed nothing. The old
King, after insulting his subjects, ap-
pears to be endeavoring to humor them,
sOrega;n his popularity. Perhaps be
hopes that to seize Schleswig will cover
a multitude Of sins; and certainly he
has q multitude TO cover He will lis
zen to nothing; he must have even the
isle of Alsen, which, though nominally
attached to the Duchies, is settled ex-
clusively by Danes.
When the English made their propo-
sition for "a Armistice, it was with the
understanding that Alsen should be
retained by Denmark, pending negotia-
TONS and Of course the whole matter
falls to the ground, the moment Prus-
STA refuses to be content, short of the
acquisition Of every foot of the ground
ever claimed as appended to SOhleswig-
Holstein.
Our attention is not so wholly absorb
ed in our own affairs, but we can watch
with deep and abiding interest the
struggle which has begun in the old
world, and which must, we imagine, end
in a general war.

Buck Newton, who shot VIM. Meier
ran, in Louisville, has been committed
to answer the charge of murder in the
first degree The Journal makes the
following summary of the testimony
given at the preliminary examination,
Tuesday, before Judge johnson:
A number of witnesses were examin-
ed, and the testimony elected proved
that Buck Newton and D. Baldwin were
the principals in the difficulty, and their
friends endeavored 70 avert their COM
ing in collision. It appears that Mr.
McFerran received the fatal ball in
tended for Baldwin, while he was hold
ing him to prevent his getting to New
ton. The prosecution endeavored to
establish the point that the prisoner
had sufficient time before firing to OBJ
serve the position in which Mr.. Meier
ran was standing, and that the ball
must necessarily DO received by him.
One witness testified that sufficient
time had elapsed after the deceased had
placed himself between the combatants
to allow Newton to see where his shot
would take effect Another was of the
opinion that, under the excitement of
occasion, the prisoner did not observe
the perilous position of Mr.. McFerran
before discharging his weapon. The
prosecution, however, conceded the
point that Newton had no design of
shooting the deceased, but fred in
reckless manner, without regard to the
result, and was therefore, guilty of tax
ing the life of man who had never
injured him in any respect, and that
the excuse was not sufficient to justify
the act 1t also appeared that the par
ties had no previous acquaintance, and
that no luminosity existed prior to their
meeting. The evidence proved further
that the first insult was given by some
one of Newton's friends, which brought
about the Unfortunate difficulty.
On the part of the defence, it was
urged that Baldwin, being much larger
man than Newton, the latter had good
reason to fear that be would receive
serious bodily harm if Baldwin succeed
ed in getting bis hands upon him, and
that the shooting was consequently done
in self-defence 1t was further proven
that Newton repeatly exclaimed to Mr.
Baldwin, during the difficulty, I" have
done you no harm, and do not want any
difficulty with you" and was endeavor-
ing 70 get away from him by running.
Baldwin had struck at him several
times, and, according to the best knowl-
edge and belief.of one of the witnesses,
succeeded in hitting him once. Accord
ing TO the testimony of the witnesses,
il was established that the parties to the
ARRAY we're under the influence of IL
quor.
The case was ably argued on both
sides by the learned counsel, and sever
al eminent authorities were quoted to
establish their points

In a recent sanitary report of n. Y.
City mention is made of tenement
house containing 6S rooms, none Of
which were over eight by ten feet In
these chambers were crowded 20 fam
lies, comprehending IA adults and
lSS children Added to these were IL

sinks in the yard were in a condition
Of appalling filth, and continued thus
month after month. The house stood
on made ground, with an unventilated
cellar FIVE feet deep. Germans were the
tenants Another Teutonic dwelling
spoken of contained 60 adults, 60 child

roundings were literally covered with
filth. Similar dwellings, both Germans
and Irish, were mentioned. The larc Q

spots breathed short and siekly exis-

If the Philanthropists Of the Eastern
cities really desire to confer a blessing
on these people-one that viii be per-
manent, let them induce the unfortu-
nate tenants to migrate to the coun-
try, where they win find plenty of la
Dor at remunerative prices, and all the
fresh air they need for their health.

to hire few thousand at good prices

other than temporary relief can ever

SoldIers Yotlng In New YorR.

On Saturday next the people Of New
York vote on an amendment to the
Constitution of that State, giving the
privilege of voting to the soldiers in the
field The CopPerheads endeavored to
stave the matter Off whom pending be-
fore the Legislature; but they failed,
and when it came to final vote, they
were compelled to support it What
they viii do at the polls, we do not
know; but the Union men are on the
alert, as the following resolution passed
by one the Clubs of New York City will
evinee:
Resolvea, That tho various Union Ward
Associations of the City and County of New
York be requested to take immediate action
q relation to the election TO take place on
the 6th day Of March, and that they earn
estly urge the electors in each ward 10 vote
fJr the amendment to the Constitution 70
allow the soldiers in the field TO exercise the
privilege Of voting in accordance with the
said amendment.
We hope a large vote viii be polled,
and that it VIII be unanimous in favor
of doing justice 10 the brave soldiers in
the field

Our Forces Marching on.


We have reliable information from
General Sherman up to the oath ult, Of
highly satisfactory character. 1t IS
brought by gentleman who left Mont
gomery on that day, and arrived in tn 5
city last night He is intelligent, and
took considerable pains to ascertain the
real situation of affairs, indeed to OBJ
tain information was portion Of tie
motive for his hazardous trip.
After occupying Meridian, a portion Of
our force were sent as far South as
Quitman, but it retired again to the
main body, as soon as it had accomplish
ed its object, which was to destroy some
railroad, and to create a CONSERVATION
at Mobile, and cause a concentration of
forces there, to have them out of the
way Of our progress eastward
Having concentrated his army again,
he proceeded in the direction of De-
mopolis, on the Tombigbee, which place
it reached and occupied on the Odd, that
portion of Folks forces which held the
town, retiring on his approach. The
severance between the right and left
wings of the army, which we noticed
some days since, rendered the enemy
entirely helpless, and all it can do is to
retreat
Polk has been completely outgen-
eraled; Sherman cannot get a fight out
of him. Our troops are moving in
solid body, but parties are constantly
thrown out, destroying railroads, &c,
completely severing rebel communica-
tons, wherever they went
At a distance from railroads, Sherman
finds plenty of corn, and potatoes, to
subsist both animals and men; but
where these articles could be carried off
by the rebels, the country is stripped.
The lack of wagons, and the bad con-
dition of the railroad track, however,
has protected the farmers thus far; and
our troops are subsisting upon the fat
of the land.
No stealing is allowed-no foraging,
save by authorized parties, who issue
certificates of indebtedness, payable
when the parties prove their loyalty
After occupying Demopolis, General
Sherman Immediately proceeded on his
Eastern march, in the direction of Sci
ma; and from dispatch to the Rich
mond Wing, published yesterday, we
learn that his advance had reached
Peasly Pear, nearly to the Alabama riv-
er.
If any one has entertained appre-
tensions for General Sherman, let them
be dismissed at once Everything IS
progress ing gloriously, and soon we
shall hear of important results

Important Developments.

In another column viii be found a
brief, but important letter from the
London correspondent Of the New York
Tribune, relative to the proceedings Of
the leading rebel agents in Europe It
Is alledged that Mason, Slidell Mann,
and Others have chartered fast vessel,
70 run the blockade, and secure a cargo
Of cotton. and then = abandon the
ConfedeEAcy and its cause This, taken
in connection with the fact that Others
have offered their services 70 the EN-
psror Maximillian; and that Gen Price
has gone 70 Mexico, viii have the high

T. L. BURsETT.
Well, the day for the election at
length arrived, and twelve Of the can
d.dates-tbere were two tickets-were
.hosen; but the vote was so meager,
hat it appears impossible for human
assurance to be sufficiently strong to in
duce any man to claim a seat in legis-
latiye body, with such a miserable con-
stituency. Of the grand old Kentucky
corps, in the rebel army, but thousand
men rernain--5ust enough for a full
egiment
The figures at the late election are
curious The highest vote received by
any successful candidate was 99s, and
the highest received by any unsuccess-
ful candidate was 42z. The average
entire vote was only about 1000
Among the members elected is Hum
phrey Marshall, and among those de-
feated is John c. Breckenridge.
We noticed loud complaints a long
time ago, that the policy of the Rebel
Congress was dictated and controlled
by members from the border States,
who had very doubtful constituency,
and whose constituents, such as they
were, would be relieved from the bur
dens they were so freely distributing
among the rebels within the lines.
This complaint, after the late exhibit
ton Of the weakness Of the rebel cause,
viii be made more urgent; and we
should not be surprised if the delega-
tons from several of the States were
excluded from the floor of the Rich
mond Congress.

Judging from the tone Of our Ger

think that there exists almost an entire
unanimity Of sentiment among Union
