America i'm Europe.

The rebellion and the war. the immense
armies, the unparalleled expense, the re-
markable military inventions, the long and
stubborn battles, and the emancipation OF
millions of slaves, have served TO make the
United States familiar as they never were
before. Our geography, our history, our
political constitution, u commercial and
industrial growth, have been studied and
commented on until educated Europeans
begin to have some proper conception that
the American Union is something more
than q great field producing cotton, corn
and gold. Close after the knowledge fol-
lows sympathy. The complete triumph
of the national arms, the barbarous asSas-
sination Of the President, the Stcadiness Of
the Government and Of the people under
the rudest shocks, and the merciful treat
ment Of the vanquished have made friends
of all who have carefully followed the
great struggle. From all sides, kind words
sincere as well Us kind-are showered
upon us. North and South, East and
West, Protestant and Catholic, merchants,
manufacturers and mechanics, people and
press, all congratulate us IN Il victories
and condole with us over our attiiction.
Our triumph is regarded as n victory that
gives a new vigor to the cause of freedom
and progress throughout the world. The
advocates of democratic principles feel
more courage. and speak with more con-
tidence since American slavery has been
finally overthrown.
We publish to-day q letter from MAJ
zini, the leader Of the Republicans ofltaly,
and extracts from another by Mon,alem-
bert, one of the chief of the French ultra
mon,anists-the representatives Of two op-
posite and hostile schools OF politics, who,
nevertheless, agree in rejoicing over our
success. Montalembert says:
This people, the subject of scorn. mis-
understanding, caiumnieS and ridicule, IN
u crisis the most terrible through which
any nation could possibly pass, has shown
n degree of energy, Self-devotion, intelli-
sence and heroism which has put to shame
its ill-wiShers and nstounded the most
ardent Of its friends. IL takes its place to-
day on the highest step among the great
peoples of the world. Above all, we used
10 be told, the American people can never
carry on Il war, and if it docs, whether
valorous or conquered, it will fall a prey
10 some fortunate General-some Bona
parte-who will begin by being a dictator
and end by being a deSpot; who will be
called by his fellow citizens to save them,
and in exchange for saving them will de-
mand what the Caesars demanded-their
honor and their liberty"
Mazzini writes
Your triumph is our triumph; the
triumph Of all l hope who are struggling
for the advent of a republican era. Our
adversaries were pointing TO the worst
period of the old French revolution as to
the irrefutable proof Of republics leading
to terror, anarchy and military despotism.
You have refuted all that. You have done
more for us in four years than fifty years
Of teaching. preaching and writing from
all your European brothers have been able
10 do.
Complete your work. The United
States stands now n leading power in
Europe. too and power is duty.
above American life. above European
life, there is mankind's life, mankind's
education, mankind's progress. That is
the common aim in which we are all
brothers and combatan,S. There is our
great battlc-to which all local battles are
episodes-fought on both continents and
everywhere, between liberty and tyranny,
equality and privilege, right and might,
Justice and arbitrary rule, good and evil,
God and the devil. BY these four years
of noble deeds and self-sacriice YOU have
been enlisted to take q share in it wherever
it is fought"
These are the words OF two out of thou
sands. The European press, Russian,
French, British and German, generally
agree in stating that our Nation and Gov
eminent now stand far higher in public
estimation than ever before. And as evil
dence that these ideas are common among
the people. we see that there Is an exten;
sive demand for American securities ano
that the number of emigrants is increasing
with a probability of exceeding anything
in the past. Letters from Germany say
that millions are preparing TO cross the
water; and a English paper says that
=" Austria and Prussia are filled with the
spirit of transatlantic democracy" There
is bon on this side of the continent a
well as on the other for all the industriou:
poor that Europe can spare. California
Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevadt
and Idaho, have fields, forests, fisherie.
and mines, that will reward the labor o
millions Of willing hands,. F. Ala.
