From Europe.

IlALIFAx, Aug. 81.
The London Times in an editorial
on Grants assault on Petersburg,
credits both sides with great valor,
and winds up as follows. eve, from
this distance, while wo deplore the
sacrifice, can but admire tho heroism
which for three months together have
animated the combatants in their
deadly grappple, and we cannot but
believe that the American character
must gain from the moral qualities
which have been called in action, but
as enough has been done, for this
we should rejoice to see the belliger-
ents separating with mutual respect,
whatever may be the clamor in the
streets or churches Of New York
We may depend upon it, that no man
of Con. Grants army thinks Ineanly
or maliciously of his Southern adyer-
saries. War, among its other lessons
teaches foes to respect each other, and
we sincerely hope that the feelings
which must thus be generated, may
lead before long to Cancellation and
peace" $50
The Mder says: 1--WE are able to
say, with oil calmness and soberness,
that the prospects of speedy peace
were never so promising, SO almost alb
solutely certain as now. 1t is our sim
cere belief, that unless some great dis
aster befals the Confederate arms be-
fore the Goth of the month, tho DEM
ocratic party assembling in convention
at Chicago, will nominate peace
candidate for the Presidency, and
within three months thereafter, there
viii be an armistice." ea
Some disturbances have occurred at
Cork, where mob paraded the streets
but the police fired a volley of blank
cartridges into them, and they scatter
rd and fled in every direction. Slight
rioting is also reported at Dundalk and
Newry.

The WnEcKIse STEAMER MAGNET
The wrocking steamer Magnet, be-
longing to the Home Insurance Com
pany, arrived at this port early on
Monday morning, and is in future to
be stationed at this point, to be ready,
at moments call, to go to the relief
vessels in distress. Our readers are
already familiar with the many excel
lent points of this noble steamer, and
recapitulation is therefore unnecessa-
ry, No expense has been spared on
her. and she is, in her fit out, just
what is needed by the marine inter-
est of this neighborhood. The COM
pany by whom she is owned deserve
great credit for their enterprise in
bringing her out. Capt. Hodge, her
commander and all under him, are
well qualified Cor the performance OF
the duties assigned them.--Det. -Adrsr-
tiser.

The Boston Herald, republican, of
the 18th, in lucid interval, made
some editorial comments on the ques-
ton of reconstruction, in which it
said:
"The present appears to be fitting
time for the press of the country to
lay aside all party issues and devote
themselves to tho task of restoring
peace to the nation upon basis which
would be alike honorable to all con-
cerned. The present raj into Mary
land, threatening as it does, Baltimore
and Washington-th the heavy drafts
which are constantly being made for
men and money-to say nothing of
abe heavy taxation and the high price
Of living admonish us that war is u
serious matter, viewed in its most ia
vorable aspect"

Save Your Old Newspaper.

Paper-stock dealers pay eight cents
pound for old newspapers in good
condition; the material can be made
over into white printing paper, and the
greater the supply the less will be the
increase in the price of the now sheet.
UVke's Spirit of this week says ON this
point:
ain Europe hotel or houselSceper
never thinks Of destroying newspa-
per, or Of using it for kindling pur-
poses All over the continent and in
England, cheap little bundles Of sticks
1.-TWO or three for penny with ends
dipped in rosin, supply all the pur-
poses in the way of kindling which
could not be performed by five times
the value Of white printing paper |;
while the other uses for paper are met
by an inferior material, which inAicts
no waste upon the printing stock
BY this means the major part of the
original stock is preserved for repro
duction, and the price of the article
constantly kept down. BY the same
thrifty saving of old newspapers and
handing them over to the dealers, who
will be glad to call at private houses
for them, nearly the whole market
stock viii pc preserved, turned into
the mill, and reproduced with the loss,
certainly Of not more than ten or fif-
teen per cent. Under the present
wasteful habits Of the public, nearly
the whole current edition is now ut
terly destroyed, while the demand con-
stantly exists against the source"

r~A WEALTHY gentlon

EEA wealthy gentleman in New
Jersey, few days since, enlisted as a
substitute a stalwart and patriotic Ca
madam, paying him $500, and expend
ing considerable sum for an outfit.
When they parted the recruit prom
ised, at the request of his principal, to
write at the first opportunity. The
gentleman was little surprised to re-
ceive letter from his man dated Que
bee, informing him that his money
had enabled the substitute and his
wife to set up a corner grocery, and
that they were doing well and if his
patron would give him call he
should have drink gratis.

The Cleveland Herald says that q
singular phenomenonrecently occurred
on the Atlantic and Great Western
Railroads, between Wooster and Ga
lion, portion of the limo not yet
opened for business. The embank-
ment and track wac observed to be
sinking, and in a short time about a
hundred feet disappeared in a hole,
which rapidly Allied with black mud
and water, in which a number Of eye
less fish were found, still living. The
engineering skill of the road was al
once set to work to fill up the cavity
and replace the track, but almost as
fast as the earth and logs were thrown
in they sank out of sight into what
seemed bottomless abyss. Several
times the 'ink" appeared to be bridg-
ed over, but as soon as the work was
completed the sinking recommended.
The old belief Of of n subterranean
communication with the Ohio River
has been revived in connection with
the existence Of this hole.

The Union prisoners of war in the
rebel hands at Andersonville, Ca,
who number about 80, 900 have sent a
memorial to the President in which
they describe their condition. They
are herdod in q field Of about 30 acres
in extent; two-thirds of them have
no shelter at all, but are exposed to
the heat of the southern sun, to the
cold dews by night, to rains and
storms. They have been robbed Of
their blankets, and must sleep in their
worn clothes upon the cold damp
ground. They are half starved; their
food, soured cornmeal and fat pork is
not fit for men in confinement to live
upon; they have little or no medical
care or attendance.

Gen. Hooker says that Georgia
alone has grain enough in her fields
to feed the whole of rebeldom's sol
diers, horses and oil, for another year;
Gen. Sherman's plan is to compel the
surrender of Gen, Hoods army by
cutting and keeping cut his communi-
cations, and that he will succeed; that
should Gen. Hood again attempt to
come out of his entrenchments, Gen.
Sherman will whip him back again,
but that he cannot carry Atlanta by
direct assault, unless perchance thro'
a most exorditant sacrifice of human
life.

Professor Caswell, of Providence,
r. L., writes to the Providence Press
that on Wednesday last, the tail of one
of the most magnificent comets on re-
cord was seen in that city when not
obscured by clouds. The tail extend
ed for distance of GO degrees above
the horizon, and he estimated that the
nucleus must have been at least 30
degrees below the horizon, making its
entire length 90 degrees. lie says
that should this comet prove as great
in brilliancy as in size, it will be the
most remarkable one which has APP
peared in this generation.

Democratic Platform.

Resolutions adopted by the Nation
al Democratic Convention at Chicago.
! RssOheE, That in the future as in
sthe past, we will adhere with unswear-
ing fidelity to the Union, under the
Constitution, as the only solid founda-
ton for our strength, security and hap
piness as people, and as frame
work of government equally condu-
Give TO the welfare and prosperity of
all the States, both Northern and
Southern.
ResOlred, That this convention does
explicitly declare, as the sense Of the
American people, that after four years
of failure to restore the Union by the
experiment OF war, during which, un-
der the pretence of military necessi-
ty, or war power, higher than the
Constitution, the Constitution itself
has been disregarded in in every part;
public liberty and private right alike
trodden pown, and the condition of the
country materially impaired. Justice,
liberty, humanity and the public well
fare demand that Immediate efforts be
made for cessation of hostilities with
q view to an ultimate convention of all
the States or other peaceable means,
to the end at the earliest practicable
moment peace may be restored on the
basis of the Federal Union of the
States.
ReSolred, That the direct interference
of the military authority of the Unit
ed States in the recent elections held
in Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and
Delaware, was shameful violation of
the Constitution, and such acts in the
approaching election will be held as
revolutionary and resisted with all
the means and power under our con-
troll.
Resolred, That the aim and object
Of the Democratic party is to preserve
the Federal Union and the rights of
the States unimpaired; and they
hereby declare that they consider the
administrative usurpation of extraor-
binary and dangerous powers not
granted by the Constitution the sub
version of tho civil by military law in
States not in instruction the arbi-
trary military arrests, Imprisonment,
trial and sentence Of American citi-
zens, in States where civil law exists
in full force the suppression of free
dom of speech and of the press; the
denial Of the right of asylum; the
open and avowed disregard of State
rights, the employment of unusual
test-oaths, and the interference with
and denial of the people to bear arms
as calculated to prevent a restoration
of the Union, and the perpetuation of
a government deriving its just pow
ers from the contest of the governed.
Resolred, That the shameful disre-
gard of the administration to its duty
TO our fellew citizens, who are now,
and long have been, prisoners of war
in a suffering condition, deserves the
severest reprobation on the,score alike
of public and common humanity.
Resolved, That the sympathy of the
democratic party is heartily and earn
estly extended to the soldiery of our
army who are and have been in the
field under the flag of our country,
and in the event Of our attaining pow
er by the United States, will receive
all care, protection, regard and kind
ness, that our brave soldiers of the
Republic have so nobly earned.

I&-It is, perhaps, not improper
for us to state, by way of explanation,
that We have been to Chicago. Before

sub, the sub failed to connective
hope he will make no. more failures OF
the kind. Next week we start in for
the CAMPAIGN, and will see to it that
there is no further hiatus in fhe man
agement of our line of Democratic in
Huences.

E4-&aid Senator Richardson.

Us. Bald Senator Richardson, of
Illinois, a few days before the adj
TORMENT of the Senate 81 tell the
Senator and tell other gentlemen, that
as soon as We place a President in the
White House on the 4th of March
next, We shall receive whatever pfopo-
sitions the people of the South send
to us; we shall make to them the pro-
position of coming back to their duty
to the old Constitution and the old
Union as our fathers made it; and if
they do not come back, we will en-
force it against them" This is sound
democracy and sound patriotism
Upon such platform can the nation
stand, peace be attained and the Union
restored. 1t is the platform that the
people viii adopt.

Ea. For twenty-five years says the
New York World, the abolitionists of
the North, and tho secessionis Of the
South have trotted in double harness
and drawn the same load. The re-
bellion ought to have unhitched them
but it did not Since the rebellion, as
before, they are pulling in the same
traces, at the same whiille trees. Mark
the gait and observe the course of the
Northern traitor. BE sure that the
Southern traitor keeps step, ond points
his nose to the same goal--Disunion.

IL Edward S. Bennett, young
man residing in Milford, Conn, went
to New York, a few days ago, to pro-
cure substitute. After an unsuccess-
full search for two or three days, he
retired to his room at his hotel, and
deliberately shot himself four times,
twice in the forehead and twice in the
breast. No other cause is assigned
for the commission of the deed than
dependency on account of his inabil-
ity to procure an army representative.

The best Havana cigars are
made from tobacco dipped into solu-
ton opium. Natural leaf tobacco
never has that peculiar effect, as will
be noticed by smoking the best clean
leaf in a pipe. 1t is the opium in a
first rate cigar, and not 1he tobacco,
which smokers get enslaved with and
cannot do without. In some Of the
Havana establishments twenty thou
sand dollars worth Of opium are used
per year.
