We have advices from Europe by the cable
as late as yesterday noon. The treaty Of peace
between Austria and Prussia has been ratified.
\ Spanish figate has succeeded in capturing a
Chiiian priyateer off the coast Of Spain. At
the banquet given at Moscow to the American
Embassy Mr.. Fox made speech which was
emincntly laudatory of the Gar and of the
Russian system of government.
The latest despatch from Europe by the
cable is to yesterday evening. Mazzin has re-
fused to accept the amnesty granted by Victor
Emmanuel The Italian army is being rapidly
disbanded The Austrian Government is at
tempting to rcpIcnish its exhausted treasury
by the issue of bonds to thc amount of one
hundred and forty million of forins. 1t is
feared in Spain that the impending collapse in
Mexico will compromise the safety Of Cuba as
a Spanish possession. " .5o.

10 the Editor Of tile Alexandria Gazette:

10 the Editor of tile Alexandria, Gazette:
DEAR S1R-As portion of my reply to the
questions propouuded to me by MIR. Howard
Of the Reconstruction Committee, has been
the subject of some misapprehension by those
who did not study either the question, or the
subject matter to which it referred, deem it
due to myself to explain: Cur system OF labor
in the South was slave labor and not free labor
The system of free labor belonged to the North
and Northwestern sections Of the United States;
therefore we had no such system of free labor
in the South, and our comparison Of the negro
in slavery must, as necessity, be made with
those who, as general thing, were subject to
the influence Of the free labor system. There
fore, when | said 1.-The negroes enjoyed higher
morality than any other class similarly situated,
&c. did not mean to convey the t0m)oCteIy
that negro is as good as white man, or
any such doa0-J1vd stuff; but simply to convey
the result of my observation OF the moral effect
of the institution of slave labor upon the mind
of the negro, and the effect of tree labor upon
the minds of those caucasians that were brought
up under the licentious influence of such free
labor. Let any observer compare the quiet
and modest department of the negro who was
bred under the system Of slavery, with the de-
praycd and vicious conduct of the tens OF thou
sands who were reared under the influence of
the free labor system, and he will answer the
question just as | did, The question and an
swcr were entirely moral, not social, and at the
conclusion of my answer the Hon. Mr.. How
ard, remarked, Such, sir, has also been the
result Of my experience"
Most respectfully,
