Warlike from EurOpe.

Inc foreign news is highly important. Den
mark has rejected the adtiDaat,an of Austria
and Prussia The Ambassadors of those
powers have left Copenhagen. An army of
10000 Austrians Is ready to march at once
for Schleswig. Prussia is also making pre-
parations for vigorous measures. Altogether
the aspect is decidedly warlike.
Those versed in European affairs however
doubt the earnestness of the sovereirns Of
Austria and Prussia. The Schleswig-H olstein
question is one that enlists the warmest feel
ings Of German nationality. The masses of
the people are thoroughly aroused on the sub
ject- The popular excitement is too wide
spread and intense to be safely disregarded.
Such a course would lead to revolution. 1t
is believed by many, therefore, that while the
Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia,
from motives of policy viii make extensive
demonstrations, that they have no serious in
tention of proceeding TO extremities; that
they care little as to the disposition made of
the provinces in dispute and are only acting
with view to their own safety By putting
themselves at the head of the German forces
they will be able to control them; and to ex-
haust their present enthusiasm and spirit in
proftless and indecisive campaign. We shall

From Ner:h Carolina.

In speaking of the growing discomfort
among the people in North Carolina, and the
desire to hold State Convention, the Vii
mington o. c. Journal says We say, and
We say most sincerely that plans recently
cOncOcted and movements evidently set ON
foot in North Carolina are ominous Of graycr
consequences than even the advance of the
enemy"
The Raleigh .Staadud, ii rs appeals to
Shareholders for peace, saws: We went to
war to protect the state sovereignty and to
defend and perpetuate the institution OF
slavery, but if it should appear that we are
likely TO lose both, as rational beings We
should pause and consider we'll the direction
we are taking. If the war should continue
twelve months longer, with no greater sue
cess to our arms, there Is great danger that
the institution OF slavery viii be hopelessIy
destroyed"
Gov Vance of North Carolina, comes out
in a card in the Raleigh StaHdard against the
taxation OF state property for the confedera-
cy. The North Carolina and Virginia paper
are firm in the belief that Wilmington Is soon
to be attacked, and have much to say about
the concentration of the forces here, which
are magnifed into very large numbers Dr.
J. 7. Leach a conservative member, elect,
in the new Confederate Congress, which
meets in February, says, IN the Raleigh SIN
da7u of the 18th inst, that North Carolina
now claims the fulGlment of thecompact or
the right to depart from the coniederacy
in peace At the great meeting held recent
Iy in Johnston Co., fayoring call for a state
constitution, DIR. J. I. Leach was elected chair
man of the committee on resolutions. Meet

The Raleigh STATE Jou7ld SAYS that the
proposition for state convention so closely
on the heels Of Mr.. Lincoln's proposition to
let one-tcnth Of the people form a State Gov
eminent, has very strong odor of disIoyalty
and treason about it.
The Henderson North Carolina is1lcs Is
delighted over the reported retirement of
Gen. Butler, and by the establishment of

Times says removes the most serious obstacle
TO the return of North Carolina to the Union.

Veterans on EurleU@h.

We understand that imperative orders have
been received from the War Department, by
the military authorities in this State 90 for
ward all troops to the field Immediately upon
the expiration of their furloughs. 1t is i'm
possible, without dangerously weakening our
forces in front of the enemy, to permit all the
re-enhsting troops to be at home at once.
While we should be glad to have veterans
now with US tarry longer, it must be remem-
bered that other veteran regiments are await
ing their turn TO revisit their homes. Those

the necessity of reporting at their camps OF

port at the rendezvous, at the appointed time
viii not only be an injustice to their comrades
in the field, but viii surely subject them to

Rebel Mntiny at Mobile"

\ correspondent of the Boston Journal, on
board the gunboat -JaekSon, at Ship Island,
writes, on the 18th ult., az follows:
"Last night, about O'clock, a small sail
boat came down TIE Sound with some very
important intelligence. The rebels in Fort
Morgan revolted, and during the difficulty the
rebel gunbOats in Mobile Bay attempted to
arrest the garrison of the fort, the whole,
fort being in revolt and with the American
flag flying. They opened on the rebel gun
boats with every gun in the fort. They sue

not on guard, and that night large force was
sent from Mobile, capturing the whole garri-
son. except four men who escaped in the
darkness IN a small boat and came to Ship
Island, whom hoard from tacr1l the fret

Mr.. Kinney, delegate from Utah, made the
following inquiry:

with arms for the rebels, did not the gentle
man Mr.. Wood telegraph to the Governor
of Georgia that he re gretted exceedingly that
he had not the power to release these Ships >"
To this Mr.. Wood repiied:

communication TO the Governor of Georgia,
regretting that arms and munitions had been
stopped at New York. he thanked the gen

Now this seems to be conclusive. Mr.
Kinney was answered, and the patriotic Wood
wasprepared to receive the confidence of the
House. Mr.. Kinney made only one little mis-
take, which Mr. Wood did not take the
trouble to allude to. 1t was not the Cover
nor OF Georgia, but Senator Toombs of that
State with whom Mr.. Wood had the CORES
pondence concerning arms; and the follow
ing dispatches, printed in the New York jour
mails for January 26th, 1861, viii show how
far Mr.. Kinney was off the track:

That ever saved his neck

As If it were a cheque.

And turning fruit for gold,
He'd bite rasin straight in halves
To make the weight he sold.

g The time has passed for offensive mill

far exhausted TO admit OF any other than de

simple question of endurance. With the
South the duration of the war is simply
question of continued supply of food for the
people and the army. The South can hold

more, by conscripting her present producing

tention to retire to the shades of private
life. There are few who VIII regret the de
termination. He has ceased TO represent
even a respectable portion of the people of
Delaware His course, ever since the war
broke out, has been factious and disloyal.
He he has done all in his power to embarrass
the Government and strengthen the hands of
the Rebels. He labored hard at the outset Of
the great Conspiracy to drag his State into
the vortex OF Secession. Rebuked at home,
he went to Washington, where he has consis-
tently played the role of grumbler, disorgaa-
izer and sorehead. But, fortunately for
those who are to succeed to his name, he has
lacked the courage to translate his bad
thoughts into action. Thoroughly in smpd-
thy with JEFF DAVIS and his crew, he has not
dared make public confession of his trea-
sonable faith. As j consequence, History
will make haste to forget him; he viii

At meeting IN Boston, Wendell Phillips,

that Mr.. Lincoln was ready to sacrifice the

PHILLIPS, however, has always thought, ar
gued, and acclaimed in italics and exclama

moderation. \ more violent thinker never
lived; his praise invariably rises into the
most extravagant eulogy-his censure into
the fercest inyective. He utterly fails to APP
preciate the calm impartiality OF the Presi-
dent, or the profound anti-slavery spirit of
his policy. Mr.. FosrER's remark about the
sword and the million slaves is merely a
gross imitation of Mr.. PHILLIPs' worst style.
