The Situation in Europe.

The last number of The Nation thus rapid
ly and clearly indicates the chief features of
the present crisis in European affairs:
The military movements in Europe are be-
ginning to assume strategic character At
last accounts bodies of Austrian troops occu-
pied the Observation-Disclosures and Silesian-
frontiers of the empire; Bavarian army was
approaching the confines of Bohemia, probab-
ly tor cooperation with the Austrians; the
Prussians were massed on the borders of Sax
ony, threatening an invasion of that kingdom;
considerable transfers of troops were taking
place ~ Venetia, and the Italian naval squad
ron was reported to have taken up position
between Ancona and Crosse, an island near
the Dalmatian coast, thus blocking up the en-
trance to the northern part of the Adriatic,
and, so to say, beginning the blockade OF
Trieste, Venice, and Fiume. Garibaldi had
accepted the command of the Italian volun-
teers, the Senate had concurred with the
Chamber in granting extraordinary powers to
the King, and the enthusiasm of the people
was still on the rise.
Parts of the Austrian empire, Bohemia and
Galicia, also. evinced great alacrty for the war,
while public opinion in Hungary seemed to
be in suspense, to be decided by the Emperors
determination to restore or not to restore the
liberties of the country. The impression was
that Francis Joseph was about granting Hun
gary responsible government in accordance
with the laws of 184S, and placing it under
the regency of the Empress. The ornaments
and works of fertilization were pushed for
ward with increased energy. The Prussian
ambassador was on the eve Of leaving Vienna.
A conditional treaty had been concluded be-
tween Prussia and Italy, and threatening
note addressed by the latter power to Hanover,
demanding disarmament and strict neutral
ity. The military occupation of both Hanover
and Electoral Hesse by the Prussians was ex-
pected. Public opinion in Prussia, however,
seemed to be little in accordance with the war
like efforts of the Government, and earnest
demonstrations in favor of peace were not
wanting. The Rhenish province was particu-
larly alarmed on account of the war, threat
enel as it is by French invasion. To gain the
favor of the majority Of the people, Bsmark.

ResolUed, That, while with State pride and
tender feelings, we remember the "empty
sleeve" of our own immortal HOWARD, it is
with emotions too deep for expression that we
think of the now VACANT CHAIR that honest
Abraham Lincoln left for his marble tomb
among his friends, at Springfield, III.
These resolutions were adopted without OF
position From a report on the state Of the
country, presented by the Rev. E. A. Helmers-
hansen, and unanimously adopted, we select
the following passage, which may be taken as
commentary upon the third resolution:
A Democratic Republican Federal govern
ment, such as our fathers OF the revolution
lived and died for, cannot long exist without
the most serious and alarming disturbances,
with millions of persons compelled to be clan
nish. Colonization in the country would be a
cancer in the body polite. Without coloni-
cation, millions of people deprived of their
rights would constitute cancer with its roots
running all through the country from the
lakes to the gulf, and from ocean to ocean,
which would result in the death of the Re-
public in the most horrible manner-a war of
the races. 1t may be asked, do we favor social
and domestic equality? That is not the CUES
ton in discussion. The idea of caste is alike
repugnant to the principles and spirit of our
government and of our holy Christianity.
The civil and political rights of all the peo-
pie, without regard to race or color, is the real
question under discussion. There is much
mental, moral, social and domestic inequality
among white people, and probably always will
be, but this is tar different thing from the
infamous idea of caste. The civil and politi-
cal rights of all the people, without regard to
race or color, were involved in the most SOL
emn asseverations of the revolutionary pat
riots and fathers. If they could leave their
marble tombs they would doubtless be sur
prised to find even the descendants of the old
tories denying these high and holy principles.
1t is with unfeigned thanks to almighty God
that we accept the two great historical facts,
the LIBERTY and the CIVIL RIGHTS of once
enslaved people. With earnest, deep praise to
the Oliver of all good, we repeat the sublime
words for which Calico was imprisoned and
threatened with death, "The world moves"
Thanks be to God, Revolutions never 60
backward" Though events may appear to
move in all directions, like the visions of God
which Ezekiel saw while he too was among
the captives at the river Chebar, yet they go
straight forward; whittier the spirit goes they
go, and they turn not as they go. The early
morning light that gilds and warns the noun
tain SUBMITS is the assurance that the sun
rising from on high shall melt the snow and
ice from their western slopes, and cause them
to bloom with verdure and laugh beneath
their fowery robes. Every point gained, every
blessing received, affords inspiration for other
victories. Let us thank God and take
courage.

THE LATE COLONEL FoRNo-The tel
egraph yesterday morning announced the
sudden death of Col Henry W. Forno by
the explosion of locomotive boiler on the
Jackson Railroad. The news came sadly
upon our old citizens, who, for nearly forty
years had known him as a patriot, a gallant
soldier, and man of warm and generous
impulses He must have been nearly sixty
years of age, yet when we last saw him, a
few weeks ago, he was seemingly as active
and vigorous as most young men. He had
occupied many public positions IN civil life
ereditably, among them Chef of Police Of
this city; but it was as a soldier he was best
known aud most admired, 1t was life he
was pasSionately fond of and few men
without a military education equalled him
in the knowledge necessary TO the profes-
sion of arms. At the earliest intimation of
danger, when Gen. Taylor was at Corpus
Christi, on.the eve ofthe Mexican war, Col
Forno raised battalion and rushed to his
assistance. He was among the first in the
field of the late civil war. He entered the
Confederate service as Lieutenant Colonel
of the Fifth Louisiana, of which he soon
became Colonel and was conspicuous among
those heroes who have immortalized the
fields of Virginia, for his cool, steady cour-
age and soldierly skill That he may enjoy
eternal peace will be the prayer of all who
know his many virtues.-N. 0 Crescent, 2nd
