FRoN EUROPE The steamship Cuba ar
rived Monday at Halifax, with advices
from Europe to the 18th inst The most
important news is the terrible financial
panic i'll England, which is pronounced,
on Mr.. Gladstone's authority, to be with
out par rallel in the commercial history of
England. The great banking house Of
Overend, Gurney & Co. suspended on the
llth, their liabilities being estimated at be-
tween ten and twelve million pounds ster-
ling Many other dsasterous failures are
announced, among them that Of Sir Morton
Peto, with whom much sympathy was ex-
pressed. Business was almost entirely
suspended in London, Liverpool, Msnches-
ter, and other commercial centres but it
was hoped that the panic had done it's
worst, and would spread no further. The
news from the Continent continues warlike,
but presents no decisive features. The
dispatches from the several sources are as
numerous and contradictory as usual Mr..
Motley had protested against the sending
of Australian reinforcements to Maximillian,
and it was understood that, in consequence
Of this protest, they would not be sent.

No HoPE.-We cannot see that there is
any hope that the President will hereafter
shape his course according to the platform
on which he accepted Office and pledged
himself to be guided by. He seems to be
more and more alienting himself from his
Union friends and shaping his course and
allowing himself to be influenced mainly by
those who sympathize with, and some OF
those who actively participated in the re-
bellion. Had the President followed up his
promises with acts. compelling the late reb
els and all tainted persons to undergo a
proper purgation, the quiet and prosperity
of the country would be permanently Sc.
cured. But if prominent rebels are to be
thrust forward into high places, and estab.
lished in our halls Of legislation to make
laws for us, while their hands still reek
with the evidences Of their treason, we can
have little hope Of speedy realization Of
our wishes

The VETo OF THE COLORADO BnI.--While
the country is not surprised at the veto OF
of the bill admitting Colorado as State,
. very gc:a,:ral expression of indignation
has been ci cited already at at the frivo-
lous reasons assigned to sustain the Presi-
dents objections to the act He asserts
that the population of the Territory is in
adequate to form State Government, and
that the people who do live there are not
desirous of organizing such a government
This is of course frivolous and captious
The vote at the two elections held in Col.
orado proves that the Constitutional mum,
Der of citizens inhabit the territory, while
the census taken shows that the popula-
ton of Colorado is sufficient to ask for a
State organization. These are the facts
The Presidents objections, as we have
already stated, are merely frivolous and
captious His secret motive for resorting
to the veto is to deprive the Senate of two
members who are opposed to "my policy,
and Punish the citizens of territory who
dare to differ with Tribune of the Peo
ple"
The test which the President applies
to the Colorado bill, if it involves princi-
pie Of the Importance which he processes
to see in it, should find an applica :ion in
the case of the revolted States as they ask
for rehabilitation. Florida will serve to
illustrate this principle. Her population
in not only inadequate, but the vagabonds
who inhabit that territory are intensely
disloyal. Is the President in favor of the
admission of Florida as State?

Nancy sworc out warrant and had

in exclamation thereof the statement that

he had faithfully handed over to her the
proceeds of bis labor since he had been

Shocking -Afair-Man
Buried Alive.

The Champaign (Ill.) Union says: A
story has been floating about town for
several days, which seems incredIable,
but it has come to rs from so many sour
ces that We arc hardly permitted to doubt
it., though we have not yet been able to
learn full particulars. We give the story
as it comes to MS, and leave our readers
to take it with what grains of allowance
they may. The tale runs that returned
soldier was found frozen in the grove near
Urbana, and taken into barn, where he
lay several days before burial. Soon af-
ter his interment, while some men were
engaged in digging grave, they heard
strange sounds, which frightened them
that they left the cemetery in haste under
the impression that ghosts and goblins
had taken possession of the city of the
dead. Their wonderful story determined
Others to investigate the matter, and the
grave of the soldier was opened, when the
horrible discovery was made that he had
been entombed alive, his body yet retain
ing some warmth, though the vital spark
had fed. The noises that had attracted
attention are supposed to have been made
by the victim in his desperate struggles

Good Advice From The
Right Quarter.

The New York Commerciu Advertiser
expresses warm disapproval Of the undig'
niGcd terms in which the radical press
deal will. the Presidents veto message.
The Commercial says:
Not satisfied with open charges of
disgracciul nature, they deal largely in
inucndo, which yon cannot and dare not
back up by proof. There was no real
reason for any conflict between the Pres
sdent and the majority in Congress. If
his arguments are weak, let them be an
swcre,l. Ii lie vetoes law which he
cannot approve, lct them frame law 10
which he will assent. But in no event,
for the honor and credit Of the country,
and FIR their own sclf-respect, should they
indulge in the coarse and unsecmly vitu-
:peration which characterize them. This
:isa day when calm and dispassionate
statcmansl,ip is required, and when the
terrible events of war ar" TO be corrected
War is so utterly wicked that it leaves
oaly evil in it's trail, and it is far more
difficult to find the way out of the mesh
.cs in Which hoslilitics involve State
than it is to conduct the measures of a
war policy. y few days Of reflection has
given time for passion to cool, and tho

What DOES IT MEAS.-We have in
formation, direct and positive, that some
Yankee spectators who were carrying a
gang of negroes Wcst(O left all the wo>
men and children in the streets of Allan
ia, to starve, while they slipped off in a
train, up the State road, with the men;
and that the poor creatures arc still there,
or were week after the scoundrels who
had enticcd them from their homes had
departed. 1t is rumored that party of
the same character, who were short time
since, hiring negros to 60 West () did
the same trick in Atlanta. Men who
will be guilty of such conduct, are none
too good to rnn cargo to CuLa and sell
