/ The no-GsFmsn Peace COME rsnce~
1 Condition OF Europe.
The sssemblsge Of peace conference at
Vienna, 80 soon after the signal failure of 4
like meeting In London, under the presidency
Of Earl Russell, is indicative Of great change
of the diplomatic statas in Europe, and shows
plainly that the influence Of Great Britain has
materially lessened. Henceforth she win not
rank among the great Powers of Europe All
assumption on her part of such position, after
her recent attitude towards Germany, would
be treated by Europe with something ap-
preaching contempt, to judge from the present
tone Of the German and French journals.
England's prestige has certainly been greatly
impaired, and this as direct result of the
man @uvres of her ally, Louis Napoleon. I'm
mediately after the Crimean campaign English
statesmen lGpored hard to convince the world
that, in connection with France, they could
direct the affairs of Europe-could give tone
to politics, even if they could not entirely
control them. BY degrees this assumption
became weaker, until at last it is simply
ridiculous-a fact proved most conclusively
by the present Dano-German Conference in
which England has no influence in fact is not
represented.
AT present Austria and Prussia have assumed
prominent positions in Europe. The former
shows that her ancient spirit of diplomacy still
exists-the latter is displaying great military
activity. Russia boldly assumes her stand as
leading intermeddler, while France, with her
powerful armies and feet, is dreaded by all
alike. England alone has retrograded, has
become, in fact, second rate Power All
Germany resounds with the taunt, "Baflled
snubbed and humbled England" This is a
great change to be produce in so short time,
and it must be conceded that herein Napoleon
hos gained his greatest victory. England
would have gone to waf had France assisted
her. She felt sure of her cooperation, and so
took q bold stand and menaced. France kept
quietly in the background, and England was
forced to retreat from all her positions, with
consequent loss Of honor. This is Napoleon's
revenge for the failure Of his conference pro-
posA, which England opposed. At present
France assumes a pacific role, because she
breads the renewal Of Holy Alliance. The
great Powers, however, fear France and will
conciliate Napoleon; for England they have but
contempt. These facts are all clearly demon
strated by the Dano- German Peace Conference,
which will thus become Of historical import
ance even should it effect no satisfactory solu-
ton of the Danish and German imtroglio.

How General Grant First Entered the
Service for the Present War.

Never was the quotation 'Man pro-
poses, but God disposes," more striking
ly exemplifed than in the following
anecdote of Central Grant AT the
commencement Of the rebellion an Ill
inois Representative called upon Gov.
Yates to recommend to him Mr. Grant
as a fit person for some military posi-
ton. The Governor had received ap-
plications from some men over six feet
In height and of muscular frames, and.
therefore. curiously eyed the small man,
attired in homesynn, that stood before
him as an applicant, lie then asked
his grounds for making the application.

Grant, Eat the countrys expense. l
served in Mexico, and when went out
TO Oregon, thought had returned to
the country an equivalent for my edu-
cation, so ] resigned The country is
now in trouble, and / wish to serve in
her need" Gov. Yates had no appoint
ment for him, and he, therefore. left.
Some short time after this occurrence.
the Governor was very much distressed
in regard TO the raising Of the quota Of
the State he had plenty of
offers for officers positions but
ne personally did not know the
minutes Of regimental organizations
--how many priyates composed a COM
pany or how many subordinate officers
there should be in regiment In his
distress he asked the Representative
81 that plain little man, to whom he
had been introduced, if he knew any
thing of these matters. The Represel /.
tative replied by bringing Grant into
the Governors presence. Do you VI
derstand the organization OF troops !?
inquired the Governor The reply was
in the affirmative VIII YOU accept a
desk in my Office for that purpose p

an hour afterwards an application was
made TO Gov Yates 70 send a regiment

Governor was, not the want of men, but
the lack of transportation. Send my

in a similar manner, and by consent Of
the Judges was Withdrawn
sEooSD HEAr.
Six appeared at the call and were
of with q beautifully fair start, Surprise
an Skef d Idle having the lead and
running neck and neck into the first
turn, the remaining four hugeing them
closely behind, making the first quarter
in Pa seconds, and the half mile in
52l Around the lower turn they came
swift a. swallow in its fight, and into
the home stretch at a pace never before
seen in st. Louis Down the home
stretch the six came laundering, with
vast clouds of dust forming the back
ground, ard thousands Of excited faces
peering forth from every standpoint to
witness the grand struggle, which as
stonished the Oldest turtles on the
ground The riderof Sue Lewis pulled
her well over to the lower side of the
track as the horses swung into the
home stretch, and told her to 90. And
60 she did, passing every competitor
with a rushing speed that can be com
pared TO nothing that moves on the
earth but q locomotive, and coming
home IN the unprecedented time Of
l:i51, and amid the most tuTnultuous
shouts Of the excited throng. Her run
ming was well described as awful,
and one drew back, almost involuntari-
w, as the superb mare came down the
track, swift as an eagle cuts the air.
But fast as she came, she had com
pany close at hand, Mammona was
second and not length behind, then
Skedaddle by the side of Mammona.

Was not that q remarkable field Of
horses? Was there ever a faster lot?
Did ever before six horses weighted as
these were, run their mile, when the
time was l:45i. and not a horse of the
six distanced? Or take the first mile,
l;463, did any eight ever run in America,
before making mile in such time, and
not one outside the distances
We say the time, l:45h is unpre-
eedented. Weare aware that Mammona
once ran her mile in l44{, and l:44I has
been made by one or two Others. But
the HAIRY soetghts tell the story. All
these horses bore six pounds extra
weight for their ages and old turtles
who have for twenty years and more
been on every race track in the Union,
sail yesterday that the performances
of that second heat had never been
equalled in America.
To force such tremendous running
Sue Lewis had to call upon her full re-
served force, and her friends could not
refrain from anxious remark as to the
future heats, as they witnessed her
miraculous effort. Had she in reserve
power enough for a third mile Of such
wondrous running? That was the
question,

CAMP GmLEM, Tenn. May Is 1864
An article appeared in the columns
OF last Saturdays paper under the head
of Daring Deed; and az It needs cor
rection, now propose giving you the
particulars Of the occasion. The scout
was sent out under command Of Capt
Russ B. Davis. 10th Tenn. Vol Cavalry,
instead of Col. Spalding as stated in
your article. The command was subse-
quently divided, and Lieut. Crecy, 10Th
Tenn Cavalry, was sent by Capt. D /,
with detachment Of twenty men, up
Duck River, with instructions TO scout
the country thoroughly He, instead Of
meeting company of guerrillas, merely
struck the trail Of two, and after brief
pursuit, he came upon them while they
were dismounted, resting at a house.
Lieut Crecy perceiying this, dashed
upon them and killed both ere they had
time to escape. The names of the killed
were Capt z II Pointer, Of Gen For
rests command, and Edward Beaufort,
of the same command. Much credit is
due the Lieutenant for his gallantry in
this single contest.
During the same scout, Capt Davis
captured and brought to camp several
prisoners, among whom were Capt Geo
H. King, Thos Fitzgerald and Henry
Love, all deserters from the Federal
prisoners. The former Geo. II King,
was once Captain in the l02d III Ne.
Infantry, and more recently Captain of
band Of guerrillas
