wAItI.IKE PREPARATIONS.
News from across the water indicates
Il general war. Austria and Prussia
are preparing for conflict, each having
raised armies and appointed its Gene
rails. The cause in bricfOf this trouble
is the intention of Prussia to annex the
Duchics, and the intention Of Austria
to resist it. The tone Of nearly all the
European journals indicates that a
great war cannot be prevented, nor can
it he OWNED as to what other nations
will ultimately be involved. The Lon.
don Times holds out for England ia
remain neutral. In South America, or
both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts
Il6stilitics are in active progress. III
Mexico, the normal condition is one OF
war, Feninuism is disturbing the
peace Of EngIand's best possessions,
while we cannot boast of proper con
cord in our own country. Mars is still
embossed and ready for the fray.
IMPEACHMENT.
A correspondent Of tho Cincinnati
Commercial Radical says: "In =.
former letter | stated that the Presi-
dent had been informed, on authority
that he could not question, that it was
the intention of the majority in Con
grcss to attempt his impeachment as
soon as they should have secured the
necessary vote in the Senate to carry
out this scheme. The President lis
tened to what was said on the subject,
and replied that he had every reason to
believe that it was true"
BRowNLOW n GRANT.
Gen. Grant, it seems, has suggested
and recommended the release of Major
McCann, and two other Confcdcratcs
in prison at Knoxville, as they were
included in the terms of capitulation.
But Parson Brownlow, with his usual
christian mercy, refuses to give his as
sent, and says they must be tried, and
if convicted, he will pardon them, or
not, as he chooses. But, continues the
Governor, in his letter to Stanton,
1.-The President has pardoncd and pa
rolled worse men than these, and turned
them loose upon the country, and
should he regard these men as well
and loyalty disposed and have no
constitutional scruples in his way, he
will, Of course, order their release"
