The SYMpArHIEs OF QUEEN VICTORIA
The sympathies of the Queen of England
must be very strangely divided in the contest
now being waged in Europe. A Lcndop
correspondent writes: The husband Of her
eldest daughter commands division of the
Prussian army, in which near relatives Of her
late husband occupy prominent positions.
The husband of her second daughter has a
command in the Austrian army. Prince
Reck, Just married to the Princess Mary OF
Cambridge, has accepted a command in the
Austrian army, and sets out for the seat Of
war, with his bride, before the honeymoon is
half over. There is scarcely member Of
any royal family in Europe who is not mixed
ND in this war"

DISTRICT MoNuMENTs.-The accomplished
Columbia correspondent of the Yorkville

We have been commanded by a lacy to
suggest the propriety and expediency OF our

Confederate dead, in each District of 1our
State. Let there be plain shaft of white
marble erected in the public square in front
of every Court House, (or in such other pub

gest as BETTER and upon this shaft write the
name of every soldier of that District who
fell in the late war-the name and rack only

register be kept for this.
It is too soon to erect these memorial shafts
just now; but let the organizations be formed
and funds be collected, and the names pre-
pared, with view to erecting them 6. few
years hence. Let committees be appointed
to receive and solicit contributions, and thus
keep the matter before the people until the
opportune time comes, as come it will, fer the
work itself.
Such is the suggestion we are delegated te

Music Of Labor.
The banging of the hammer,
Tho whirrino of the plane.

The banging OF the hammer,
The whirring Of the plano,
The crashing of the busy saw,
The creaking of the crane,
The ringing of the anvil,
The grating of the drill,
The gathering Of the turning lathe,
Tho whirling of the mill,
The buzzing of the spindle,
Tae rafting of the loom,
The putting of the engine,
The fans continual boom,
The clipping of the tailor's shears,
The driving of the maui
These sounds of homes: industry,
love-I love them all.
The clicking of the magic type,
The earnest talk of men,
The toiling of the giant. press,
The scratching of the pen,
The tapping of the yard-stick,
The tinklipg of the scales,
The whistling of the needle,
When no bright cheek it pales,
The humming of the cooking stove,
The surging of the broom,
The pattering feet of the childhood,
The housewives busy hum,
The buEzing of the scholars,
The teachers kindly call
These sounds Of active industry,
love-I love them all.
Hove the ploughman's whistle,
The reaper's cheerful song,
Tho drover's oft-repeated shout
Squirting his stock along,
The hustle of the market man,
As he hies him to the towa,
The halloa from the treo top,
As tho ripened fruit comes down,
The busy sound of threshers,
AS they clean the golden grain,
The husker's joke and catch of glee,
Meath the moonlight on the plain,
The kind voice of the drayman,
The shepherds gentle call
Thesesounds of pleasant industry,
Iloye-I love them all.
Oh, there's GOOD in labor,
If We labor but Alright,
That gives vigor to the daytime,
A sweeter sleep at night;
A good that bringeth pleasure,
Even to the toiling hours,
For duty cheers the spirit,
As dew revives the flowers.
Then shy not that Jehovah
Gave labor as doom,
No!-'tis the richest mercy
From the cradle to the tomb.
Then let US still be doing
Whate'er we find to do,
With cheerful, hopeful spirit,
And free hand strong aud true.

Another Military Murder.

The Victoria (Texas) Advocate gives the
following particulars of a shameful atrocity
that happened in that beautiful little town on
the 23d ult.:
On Wednesday afternoon, 23d ult., Col
Hill and man named Black were in "The
Smile" saloon, when an alteration took place
between them, resulting in an offensive move.
ment on the part of Black, with heavy
stone pitcher, against Col. Hill, who imlne-
diately drew Derringer pistol and shot
Black. The ball took effect in his breast,
and he died shortly afterward.
Col. Hill was Immediately arrested by Capt.
Spalding, commander of the post, who hap
pened to bein the ueighborhood, andconveyed
10 Jail.
The I'd Michigan and 18th New York
Cavalry we're encamped in town, and became
very much enraged at the killing of Black
whom they claimed as soldier, but who, in
fact, was citizen, having been mustered ont
of the United States service over six morth>
ago, and had been employed in the duties OF
q civilian. At all events, this served as AL
excuse for the atrocity afterwards inflicted.
Late in the afternoon, it became known
that the soldiers intended to break open the
prison, take out Col. Hill and hang him; bul
it was supposed that the officers Of the regi
meuts would exert their influence to suppress
their intended outrage. Unhappily, they
could not or did not control their men, and
one of the most brutal deeds took place chat
was ever committed in our State.
About dark, the streets appeared to be free
Of soldiers, and some hope was entertained
that the design attributed to them had teen
abandoned. Not SO, however; for shortly
after our citizens were alarmed by the wells
of the furious wretches, and felt instinctiyely
that Col. Hill's moments were numbered, 1t
proved to be so; for on going to the spot, it
was found that they had burst open the Jail
door, killed Col. Hill with an axe, and alter
ward hung his mutilated remains to the ban
nsters outside the Jail. 1t is said that Col.
Hill, on the door being burst open, jumped
into the midst Of his enemies, knife in hand,
and sold his life dearly. In the short fight,
he was struck with au axe in the neck, and
thus yielded his life.
Col. Hill was an old aud well known citi
zen of Texas, and leaves wife and interest
irg family to mourn the sad event which has
so suddenly bereayed them Of ahusband and
father,

view take then, is that the interests of the
Creditor as well as of the Debtor, demand
the passage of aome such laws as have sug-
gested, to prevent the useless sacrifice Of
property, and to save both parties from ire
trievable injury, and the State itself from con.
fusion and depopulation. When the subject
is contemplated in this light-in the light of
humanity and true statesmauship,-I can see
no impossible barriers, no Constitutional pro.
hibitions intervening. We are SO situated
now as to be constrained to act or perish, and
what is worse than all, to see our women and

State herself. perish along with US. We are

If there be no restraints placed upon suits

no man can foretell the misery and starvation
that are to ensue. The Creditor himself after
having ruined the Debtor, and exiled his
f: laily, will scarcely realize, from his merci-
less oppression, the costs of suit. If he take

The Latest Foreign News.

The news by the three steamers at New
York, already published in kilograms. is
not encouraging with reference to peace.
The Congress, it was settled, will meet
at Paris, the great powers having all ac-
ouicsced and Of course will be represented.
But there was no relaxation of military
preparation, and the forces were gathering
at the points where they would I've needea
when hos,ilities do burst upon the world.
Such proceedings, and more especially the
motives which prompt them, leave but NJ
tie hope of pacific solution OF the threat
ening signs. Ii there were not so many
Kingdoms seeking breaking mp OF bo"haa-
ries in order to CRAFTY their greedy ANN
ton for extending their own territory "h'

cul, 10 see how peace is TO be ensured nh-
,oss concessions be made by the Congress,
which thew canno, possibly offer to the
,or,;es concerned without the greatest
wrong and injustice.
Unfortunately Austria Il the only great
power who desired nothing more than to
keep what she has. She wanted matters
to be left where they were. The Paris
Paus says that for the the loss of Nenetia,
Austria is to be compensated with tern
tory on the Adriatic: who to be taken from
does not appear. 1t adds that Prussia is
TO have the Elbe Duchies, and Denmark to
have Northern Schleswig. The Rhine
provinces to be made State and attached
TO the Germanic confederation.
This will please nobody save Italy
France gets nothing; Prussia is cut of
from part of the coveted water frontier,
and Austria loses Venetia, which is to Toe
paid for in territory to be cut off from
some other Kingdom, giving rise probably
to a new trouble, even If Austria consents
to tho arrangement. Such plan as this
gives no hope of avoiding war.
There is, and has been for long time, a
growing spirit of ambition and desire for
national acquisition and power, which are
not compatible with peace on the CONT
nent. The great Powers are like great
beasts Of prey among the feeble animals
that are near them, and they can't Keep
their paws off; or they are like immense
boulders on mountain side, that once III
motion will grind into dust the smaller
stones that get in their way. The fact is
man can't stand always still, respecting
other peoples rights and generating the
boundaries that are near him.
1.-THE Congress restores peace 1t VIII be
more because some of the parties to the
troubles have been counting the cost of the
war and fear to encounter 1t, than from
satisfaction with the result OF the delibera-
tons of that body.
