war lin Europe.

The latest foreign news indicates that
war between Prussia and Austria is in
evitable, if it has not already COM
menced. The proposed Peace Confer
ence has been abandoned, Austria not
agreeing to submit the question of her
right to the Italian province of Venice.
Prussia has marched a force to occupy
Holstein, the point of dispute in Ger
many, which is regarded as the opening
Of hostilities. It is believed that Italy,
which is also filed with the war spirit,
will assail Austria in her Venitian ter
ritory. Also that France will, in the
end, endeavor to extend her territories
to the Rhine. IF the war goes on it
will te a gigantic one, and a million of
men on each side will soon be engaged.

Buried Aiive-A Horrible Death

from the Edu Ciaire WIS. Free Press.
On Wednesday of last week man by
the name of VIM. F. Bond was buried
alive while digging in a. sand bank a
short distance from his MILL on Fall
Creek. Mr. Bond, with two Of his
workmen, were hauling dirt from a sand
hill for the purpose of repairing DANA
ges done his dam by the recent freshet.
They dug into the side of the hill to
such an extent as to leave a sand roof
overhanging their heads, when one of
the workmen expressed fear that the
bank might cave off and come down
upon them. Mr.. Bond being of the
same opinion, thought to dig under a
little further, and thus give the upper
portion of the bank sufficient force to
throw it near the dam, and save the
trouble of hauling While thus engag-
ed, the bank caved off, and he was COW
cred all but his head and neck. The
workmen Immediately attempted to res
cue him from his perilous condition;
they at first tried to pull him out, but
A1AAih AZ eAAlo taepOAAPo,t .CoiutuCuCcu uiSS55-
ging the dirt away from him, when he
asked them if it would be likely to cave
in again !; they told him they thought it
would. He then said to them, ssSaye
yourselves, boys-'tis no use staying
here shall be buried alive" Har-
dly had those words been spoken, when
down came another volume of sand,
covering him to the depth of several
feet. The two men then set to work
removing the dirt as fast as possible,
thinking they might save him. They
worked three hours and half before
they succeeded in extricating him from
his premature grave. When first
brought to light he was of purple
color; after rolling him on board, and
bathing him thoroughly with spirits, it
is said life-like color was restored to his
face and neck, and his ears were really
warm; but it was in vain; the spark of
life had been too long extinct. 81.

The words Cor otherwise" manifestly
include all such cases; SO that all persons
who neglected to bcregistered last year,
who can take the required oath, may be

last year and were rejected may possibly
have no redress short of suing the Reg

Some uncertainty exists as to the

most every Democrat has forfeited the

known the outrageousness of this law
and that it is not even safe to attempt
to press it any further. 1t is not expec
ted that he will ignore the law, but APP
point Registers who will give it fail
and liberal construction. The Radicals
at their late State Convention plainly
indicated their purpose to have election
judges appointed by the County autho
rites who would reject at the polls al
such voters as they may think the Reg

power, to a limited extent, the Judges
of Election may have, merely to correc

The Ten Percent. Tax.

There are so many incorrect state

imposed on the issues of banks organi-
zed under State laws paidout 5y banks

tits important for every business man
to understand the law. The Act Of

thus

That every National Banking Associa-
ton, State Bank. or State Banking AS
sociation, shall pay tax of ten per
cent, on the amount OF notes of any
State Bank or State Banking Associa-
ton paid out by them, after the first
day of July, 1866
1t viii be noticed that the tax is I'M
posed only on banks paying out other
notes than those of. National Banks, OF
United States legal tenders, and that in
no case can the tax be imposed on
individuals, merchants, brokers, or agents
(other than Banks, } paying them out, OF

The circulation of the notes of State
banks among individuals, is in no way
interfcred with by this law. Holders
of these notes need not be under, any
apprehension of any loss by the ten per
cent. tax imposed, as Banks alone are
subject to that penalty for paying them
out after the time specified in the law

CHURCH SECESSION.

Rev. Dr. Bullock, of the O. S. Pres
byterian Church, corner Franklin and
Cathedral Streets, Baltimore, having
determined to separate from the Gene
raj Assembly of the Church in view of
it present position, the Congregation
assembled on the evening of the 18th
inst. and fully endorsed the course of
their pastor. 1t was resolved that the
deliverances of the General Assembly,
in so far as they have departed from
ecclesiastical subjects, and apply to
matters of State and, Civil policy, and
so far as they attempt to make new tests
and conditions, are unconstitutional and
void, expressly forbidden by the stan
dards Of the Church, and not binding
on them. The resolutions were presen-
ted and advocated by Geo. M. Gill, Esq.
principally. DR.. j. P. Fleming offered
protest signed by himself and eighteen
members, who adhere to the General
Assembly. M .59ea3
This arises from the course of the
Gen. Assembly in regard to the question
of slavery and the late war. The great
division between the North and the
South commenced with the Churches,
and it seems fated to continue among
them source of strife after war is over.

THE SENTINEL.

The Sentinel says there was not one
word of truth in the article we copied
from the Gettysburg Compiler about
the behaviour of the Radicals in regard
to our johnson Meeting. IF its editor
would make enquiry in the proper
quarter, even from his own friends, he
would find it was essentially true Some
Union men strongly advised people from
coming to the meeting for fear certain
threats against it would be carried into
execution; and we have been assured
that very many staid away for fear of a
row.
Besides the assault on the Littlestown
man, we know of two other Democrats
having been wantonly attacked in the
absence of their friends, and one shame
fully beaten. IF any of the Sentiaers
friends suffered, itlwas in retaliation for
their first assault. IF friend Thomas
saw no evidence of rowdyism on his own
side that day himself, we can refer him
to respectable men of his own party who
did, if he desires to be informed on the
subject.
