War!



NEGOTIATIONS are at an end and war is begun.
Long as it was postponed, it comes at last so
suddenly that the actual outbreak of hostilities
seems to take Europe by surprise. 1t is impos.
sible not to admire the rapidty aud decision
which Prussia displays at the crisis, and which
have given her a signal advantage in the first
military movements. The vote OF the Federal
Diet to arm its forces removed the last induce.
ment for delay on the part of Prussia, and as
there was nothing more to be gained by diplo.
macy, Bismark Instantly drew the sword The
sian armies had entered SaXony and Hanover
The latter State will be instantly overrun and
possessed and unless its Austrian vote in the
Diet IS disaVowed, Prussia will hencetorth treat
Hanover as conquered province, whose re-
sources of men and money and supplies are to
be absolutely at her disposal. 1t will be the
same with the other German States in the North.
They fall to Prussia by their geographical stua.
ZION, ana such OF them as rejected the opportu-
nifty to become her allies can have no hope of
escaping the utmost RIGGS of hostile military
occupation.
But the chief military interest of this news
centres IN Saxony. The positions of neither the
Prussian nor Austrian corps d'dTTnee are so
clearly known as to enable us TO say certainly to
which side Dresden is to fall The telegrams
%hiGah we we printed in yesterdays ISSUE are con-
duseu, ana cannot be taken as a guide. They
assume that Benedek, the Austrian commander
will seize Dresden, but the two armies are about
equidistant from that city, and if there be a
chance for the Pruss1ans to get possession ofthe
Saxon capital, they will try hard for it. Saxony
itself is all for Austria, and will put her rail
at Benedek's disposal, while the Prussians must
trust TO their own resources; but as Prussia has
clear days start other enemy, it is not certain
she may not reach Dresden first.
The possession of Dire 5den, to whichever side
u may fall, Will be most important ADVANTAGE
Just south OF the city lies the ground which the
wars OF Frederick made famous and which
ever since has been reckoned an impregnable
position. An army once established in it could
not be dislodged without a long Campaign ID

neck OF Saxony. and that illtated kingi I'm may
once more have cause to repent its suicidal
proclivity towards Austrian alliances. IL must
he admitted, however, that all prob tbiltties
point to the seizure and permanent occupation
OF this region by the Austrian forces.
From Italy we have the news that Clal0inl
was expected to cross the P0 on the l4t1 with
SO, 600 men, and we presume there is no douOt
that military plans had been perfectly agreed
on between Italy and Prussia, so that the nrst
shot fred ON the Saxon or Silesian frontier was
echoed back from Venetia. Austria Is not les
alaI med by reported movement oil an ltanan
detachment into Hungary. Missing the strength
OF her army 10 meet her antagonist on the
North. Austria is numerically weak against
Italy. and plans for nothing more than de-
fenslye campaign in Venetia at present. How
much defensive tactics will avail against the
enthusiasm and Impetdous courage and over
whelming numbers of the Italian army, we shall
be likely to learn very soon.
1t Is scarcely worth while to speculate on the
few hints we get OF the opening campaign. The
one thing certain is that great European war
is to be fought, and that its results lie beyond
all foresight. Already the German Coniedera.
tioI disappears from the political map, dissolved
by the stern decree of Prussia, and left depend
ent on the fortune of war for the ultimate dispo-
sition of its component States. Reckoning Italy
and Prussia against Austria and such OF the
minor German States as she may be able to con
troll, the balance of forces is so even that the
future of Europe may be said to lie in the genius
oil the generals who command the opposing
armies.

Outrage by a Negro.

/ DIR. Davis, who lives near Forrest
station, on the Southern road, was called
upon by a negre who urged him 10 go as
quick as Ne could to somebody in need
Of his services, about two miles distant
The Doctor mounted his horse and rode
rapidly in obedience to the summons,
accompanied by the negro Somewhere
on the road the negro knocked him sense
less off his horse with a stick, and robbed
him Of q fine gold watch and two hum
dred dollars in gold IL is probable he
thought he had killed his victim, but the
Doctor revived. The w0uld-be murderer
and successful robber was pursued and
captured by the citizens some distance
OIL He confessed the deed, aud con-
Quoted his captors 10 where he had Sc
GREETED the watch and money, which were
recovered. Thereupon the negro is said
20 have disappeared-fnally. We heard

ing Messrs.a james Torrey and Samuel
Owens (half brothers) were dressing in
the same room, and had little negro
boy as calet de chamtre Owens gave
the little fellow some order, which was
countermauded by Torrey Owens then
took a shot gun standing near, to frighten
the negro and enforce obedience, when
the other seized chair and rushed toward
Owens in threatening manner, where
upon the latter discharged the full load of
the gun in his brothers face, killing him
instantly The family were in q separate
part of the house, and knew nothing of
The affair until after it was over. They
heard the report of the gun and rushed
in, but only to find the older brother
weltering in his gore-the victim, prob
ably, of little mirth on the part Of the
yonnger--for we cannot reconcile the
belief that he would voluntarily commit
the horrible deed We have known the
lad for several years, and have always
thought him good natured and unpresum-
ing. We give the statement as we heard
il, and are not responsible for misrepre-
sentation, If we have made any.
Since setting W" the above. we learn
that il is in some respects wrong. The
brothers were in separate rooms, and the
ARRAY was witnessed by sister, Owen
came to town and delivered himself up,
and was Immediately arraigned for trial
before Justices Carpenter and Villines
The sisters evidence is entirely in favor
of the surviving brother and it appear
ing TO be case Of UNSUITABLE homicide,
he was Immediately released. Fdyette

b In the New Orleans ,Picayvne Of the
4th instant we find letter addressed
TO Col q. williamson and other mem
bers Of the Louisiana Legislature by G.
T. Beauregard, In relation to his pro
posed plan for dredging the bars at the
mouth Of the Mississippi, and authoriz-
ing tax on tonnage for the benefit Of
the company for which he is the repro
sentative In answer to some of the
objections which have been urged against
the proposed bill, Gen, Beauregard states
that tine two best Of the six passes of the
river have generally had from l4R to
l6 feet water at ordinary low tide. AT
present those two Passes are the South
west Pass, and Pass af0utre About
twenty-five to thirty years ago they were
the Southwest and North Passes From
these changes in the principal passes, it
would be injudicioos to limit the opera
tions OF the company to any one stated
Pass; for, few years hence, one Of the
shallowest might be the most adyan-
tageous TO operate upon The bars move
outward into the Gulf at the rate Of
nearly one mile in fifteen or sixteen
years, and a remarkable fact is that they
maintain meanwhile their general form
or outline He also contends that any
labor bestowed on the bars Of the river
10 deepen their channels must be con
slant; for as long as the original causes
which produced those bars exist, SO long
will the same depths of aterreturn I'M
mediately after the cessation Of work on
said bars; and adds that he has no de-
sire TO injure the commercial prosperity
! of his native city, but believes, on the
contrary, that Il will benefit it greatly,
By giving from two 20 four feet more
water in one ormoye passes Of the river,
thus facilitating direct trade with Eu-
rope. . islv lll. ~. 10 $3.50
The bars Of the Mississippi arc a serious
inconvenience, and one which, perhaps,
can only be removed by q permanent
system Of operations. II Is TO be hoped
that the Legislature of Louisiana viii be
Sufficiently Aliveto the advantages which
would necessarily accrue 10 the Crescent
City from q thorough and effective
dredging Of these passes. Perhaps. with
all our science, useful lesson might be
learned from a people so ignorant as the
Turks, who, in former times, when they
had exclusive control Of the mouth Of the
Danube, kept down the bar by the simple
expedient Of obliging every vessel that
went 20 sea from that river TO drag a
harrow after her Ii is said that since
this regulation has been disused, the
depth OF water there has been materially
diminished.-St Louie Press -.

ToRoYro, C. W., March l2-Tbe num-
Der Of volunteers answering the Govern
ment call is largely in excess of the de-
mand. 49,
An official military order is published.
The Commanderip-C Chief regrets that he
is compelled, as measure of precaution,
to call for the service of so large num-
Der Of volunteers, This step does not
result from the existence of condition
of war between our sovereign and for
eign State, but it is necessary perform
ance of duty which has devolved upon
the Government, to make provision for
protecting the lives and property of the
inhabitants of the Province against
threatened attacks by lawless men, who
use the territory of neighboring power
for the purpose of openly organizing an
enterprise against the sovereign rights of
the Queen and the security of her sub
jects. The COMMANDMENT Chief relies
with confidence upon the loyal spirit Of
the Canadians to meet this extraordinary
state of facts, and feels assured that if
necessary the entire population of the
Province will come forward to resist any
invasion Of the country
The Commander-ih-C Chief knows it is
unnecessary to address observations to
the officers and men called out on the
imperative necessity of strict attention
to their military duties, and is convinced
that should the threats Of attack be car
ried into effect, the Canadian volunteers
of the present day will, with Gods bless
ing, meet with as much success in repell-
ing such criminal and wanton outrages
against humanity and civilization,
whether they are called upon to roll back
from their territories the tide of legiti-
mate warfare or to repulse the attacks
