soidier,s ana seamen's Home.

On our second page we print an IN
teresting acount Of a recent visit to
the SoAier's Home, which we copy
from the Howard County Tribune.
We commend it to the careful atten-
ton of our readers, especially in view
of the fact that Captain HART is now
in this part of the State, and may call
upon them soon to contribute towards
supporting the Home, and placing it
on substantial and permanent foun
dalton.
We regret to see that some of the
papers in our State are arraying
themselves against the Home ON the
ground that it is to be manipulated
for the benefit of partisan leaders.
The Indianapolis Herald, in particu-
lar, in cowardly and anonymous
way, endeavors to prejudice the minds
of the people against the enterprise.
Hating the cause for which our sol
diers fought, it is not remarkable that
it should manifest no sympathy for
their misfortunes and suferings, and
that contemplate spirit of revenge
should induce it to throw every obsta-
Gle possible in the way of their allevia-
ton. 1t insinuates that the money
collected, ostensibly for the Home, is
to be spent for campaign purposes to
secure the triumph of the Union
party at the coming October election,
The charge is without foundation, and
is not made with view to injure the
Union party so much as to cripple the
comfort and efficiency of the Home
Language can hardly depict the mean
ness of the man who would deliberate.
ly use his influence to deprive disabled
men and orphan children of the
Home that a generous people would
provide for them, by so poisoning the

their benefactions! -

The Nashville D1i<g Union has
suspended. For some months past it
has given evidence Of great prosperi-
ty, being blanket-sheet in size, and
apparently we'll filled with advertise
ments. The editors valedictory says:
The decline in business in Nashville,
during the past three months, has been
most marked; every industrial pursuit has
felt the paralyzing effects. We have felt
them, not mostly in the decrease of adver-
Using and circulation, but in the difficulty
of making collections to meet the daily ex-
penses. Compelled to pay cash for labor
and everything used in the prosecution of
our business, we have been forced to a
very large extent to extend credit to pa
trons Many failing to meet their obliga-
lions, has imposed the necessity of using
up what capital is left us, or abandon the
publication of our newspaper. We have
determined, very reluctantly, on the latter
course. t
The Union committed the mistake
that great many papers fall into,
viz: That daily papers are published
for the benefit of advertisers rather
than subscribers; that their value and
influence are not estimated by the
amount of zeal, skill and energy mani
tested In collecting and condensing
news, but by the size of the sheet and
the number of hand-bill adver-
tisements it contains. Newspapers
should be prepared, printed, and pub
lished with an eye single tc giving
the people all the news, and a variety
of reading matter commensurate with
the pretensions of the place in which
they are published, and the liberality
of the people among whom they cir
culate. The advertisements should
be. secondary and subsidiary to this
great object. The paper that devotes
most of its talent to drumming for
advertisements, and only gives a
small amount of reading matter by
way of " filling in, can meyer prove
s very successful or influential.

war in Europe.

The arrival of the last steamer
seems to, dispel the slight hopes en-
tertained by a few that a general Eu-
ropean war would yet be averted. The
proposed Conference, of which much
was expected in the interests of peace,
will probably never meet, or if it does,
its deliberations be broken up by the
clash of arms, and amount to nothing at
best. On the 9Th inst. Mr.. GLADSTONE
announced in the House of Commons
the failure of negotiations. To a
question propounded by Gen. PEEL,
whether it was true that the proposed
Congress had been given up, Mr..
GLADSTONE replied:
am sorry to say I must answer in the
affirmative. The first communication
made to the British Government to this
effect was by Geographic message from
France, stating that in the opinion of the
French Government the Conference was at
an end, in consequence of the answer from
the Austrians imposing conditions that
were I65dIQCQ DIS " GU
now in possession of the Austrian dispatch
on the subject, and the substance of it is
that she required beforehand an assurance
from all the Powers which were to take
part in the Conference, that they should be
ready to renounce the pursuit thereof, any
special or particular interest to the detri-
ment of the general tranquility: going on
or further explaining that sentiment, by
stating that as condition to be complied
with by the Cabinets DESTROYS of peace, II
appeared to Austrians Indispensable that
they should agree beforehand TO exclude
from the deliberations of the Conference
anything that would tend TO give to any
of the States invited and attending their
meeting, any territorial augmentation or
increase of power. To require such an en-
gagement beforehand, was regarded by
France as equivalent to a refusal of the
I. Conference, or as making it impossible.
The Government of England is agreed in
! its views of the case, with the Government
of France; all prospects, therefore, of a
4 meeting of the Conference must, we fear
/ be regarded as at an end.

there. Why not go in for the entire
adjustment of the Fourth of July.

Southern reconstructed friends. We
can not expect to retain their affection

so Objectionable to them. Is it not.
far wiser to give up the Fourth than

votes we are forever out of Office.
We can live without fourth of Julys,
but how can we exist out of office?
Therefore, if it has come to this, that
soldiers propose to monopolize the
fourth ,ofsJaly, and talk disrespeet-
fully of the Confederate Democracy,
we are decidedly in favor of striking
the fourth of July from the almanac.
