The latest advices from Europe 20 to show
that the Germanic Confederation Is evidently
determined to conquer Schleswg and Holstein
Sixty thousand German troops are stationed on
the frontiers Of these duchies, and struggle
between Denmark and Germany seems almost
unavoidable. 1t Is asserted that England will
send q feet to the German waters. and that
Austria has warned Prussia against acting in
this matter 10 concert with the petty sove-
reigns Of the Confederation.
Spite Of these warlike demonstrations we
cannot but believe that war will be avoided.
France, England, Russia and Austria must un-
derstand that the unity of the Germans is dan
gerous thing for Europe, and that by all means
the impending struggle should be averted.
The Confederation, if it finds itself menaced by
ell the great Powers, will of course see the
utter folly Of persistng in its ambitious We've;
and we believe that such an event must occur
Thegreat Powers will array themselves against
Germany. and she will pcrforce retire from the
position she has SO boldly assumed. This will
take place, we believe, unless Napoleon the
Third desires q struggle. In that case he can
easily bring one on. He has but to abstain
from joining in any repressive measures on the
part of the leading Pow srs to render all
action on their part improbable and war
certain result The inducement for such
course Of conduct on the part Of France is the
long cherished desire Of her people that their
frontiers should extend to the Rhine In the
multitude Of events which war would give
rise to the opportunity to make this acquisition
might arise, and hence Napoleon may desire a
war. But, then, he must understand that there
is nothing to prove that, successful in her pre-
sent scheme, Germany would be content. Aus
tria and Russia Of course do not desire that
Europe should be convulsed at present, while
England has naught to gain by war; 80 it may
easily be understood she is averse to it's occur
renee.
All these things taken into consideration, we
arrive at the conclusion that, spite Of the pre-
sent threatening aspect Of affairs in Europe,
there will be no struggle. The great Powers
have too little to gain and too much to lose to
allow war to take place.

The NAVY DEPARTMENT RAcK.-There is but
one thing that the Navy Department could do
to deepen the disgrace that its Infinite blunders
have brought upon it, and that one thing it
proposes to do now. Bad as the whole conduct
OF that branch of the public service has been,
every one could have believed there were ex-
cuses for all Of its atrocious errors. But its
blundering incapacity even seems less heinous
by comparison with the disgraceful, contempt
ibie and utterly silly matter of its proposed
race One would think that the Navy Depart
ment had never heard of the Alabama. the
Florida and the other pirates that have p,eyed
upon our commerce for two years and arc
still at large. Our navy has cost the coun-
try some hundreds Of millions, and certainly
there ought to be some fast ships in it. And
if we have any fast ships there is fine chance
for the exhibition Of their speed in the pursuit
and capture of these vessels. Yet this oppor-
tunity for the Secretary to show what the navy
can do in the line Of Its daty the Secretary
quietly ignores, and devotcs his ponderous In
tellect to racing ferryboats in smooth water"
Assistant Secretary Fox, an official without
either the wisdom or the cunning Of the origi-
nator Of his name, has been sent forward to ar
range the preiiminaries for this great trial.
