THE Senate has finally passed the
resolution providing for representation
of the United States at the Paris exhi-
bition next year, and has been even
more generous in its appropriation,
putting in an item OF So, 600 in coin to
pay for the erection of building in
Paris for the accommodation of the
United States. The House win doubt
less quickly concur in the Senate
amendments, and our country will
thus be assured OF creditabIe and
generous representation at the great
exhibition.

THE extraordinary rise in gold since

Tne situntIon in Europe.

The news by the last steamer from
Europe is not of pacific character.
The proposed conference, which was to
have assembled in Paris, has been
abandoned, and all hope of averting
war has almost entirely vanished.
England, France and Russia, through
whose influence the project of confer
ence was inaugurated, have ceased their
efforts in that direction, and the con-
clusion reached is, that the armed pow
ers must now carry on negotiations
themselves, or commence the war. On
all sides the most extensive military
preparations are being made, and it
would not surprise us if the next steam
err brought us the intelligence that hos
tilities had already commenced. When
the first blow is struck, we do not see
how all the Great Powers can avoid
taking part in the conflict; and should
such n result follow, the world has new
er seen such an array of embattled
hosts as will then be brought into &C
ton.
To give our readers some idea Of the
number of soldiers each of the con-
tending parties can bring into The field,
we append some statistics. compiled
from the Bankers Magazine. RUSSIA
maintains an army of Sl2, 600 on peace
footing, and 1855 men on war
footing. Austria usually maintains a
peace establishment of 2ss,O61 men,
which of late has been increased to
476, 299, and in war time generally ex-
ceeds 5000 men.
The Pussian army usually com
prises 2Os, 1919, and reserve of lO4, Al
men. The other parties TO the probable
struggle (the powers which must assist
in deciding whether the Danish duchies
shall be Prussian, German, or Danish
the German Confederation, comprises
the kingdoms of Saxony, Bavaria,
wurtemburg and Hanover, and the cleo
torates ofHesse- Damstadt, Baden, Hesse,
BIecklinburg Schwerin and Meek
lin-StreIitz, with numerous other minor
duchies and principalities. Their arm
les may be estimated at about 10000
men.
Italy, another probable party to the
contest, has "a standing army of 5000,
and can readily raise 100000 more, and
keep them in the field. Leaving out
Russia, France, Belgium, Denmark,
Sweden and Norway, and the armies
of several other countries, which will
likely take tile field If war should break
out, it would therefore, from this
statement, be participated in, at its out
set, byno less than 2, 1865, 600 men,-more
than were engaged in our late civil war.
Supplied as these troops will be, with
the most approved modern appliances
for the destruction of life, what an ag-
gregate of suffering and death will fol-
low when they meet in the rude shock

THE ABSORBING TOPICS.

The extraordinary advance in gold
to-day, the European war news, and
the speech of Thad. Stevens upon the
Mexican question, are absorbing con.
versation this evening, and are discuss
ed very spiritedly. The first topic has
caused "a general inquiry among our
local bankers and brokers at the Treas
ury Department as to what new policy
is to be developed in this emergency.
Secretary McCulloch, without elimina-
ting any course of action in answer to
these anxious interrogatories, asserts
very confidently that the financial in
terests of the Government will not be
permitted to be jeopardIzed, however
much decentralization may reign in the
precincts of Wall street.

wAsHINeToN DISPATCHES.


WASHINGTON, June 10, 1866.
THAD. STEVENS on THE MEXICAN CUES
TON.
Thad. Stevens appeared in the House
to-day and delivered speech on Next
can affairs which took everybody by
surprise. He boldly denounced Maxi
milan, and declared that this Govern
ment should give some practical ex-
preston of its intention to enforce the
Monroe doctrine. To this end he was
willing this Government should en-
dorse the fifty million loan, now under
earnest consideration by the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs. 1t NAV
be added in this connection that the
Committee hope to report on the sub
ject during the coming week.
THE EUROPEAN WAR.
In high government circles, the Gull
minating news of the European inn
broglio, does not fall unexpectedly.
No longer ago than yesterday the Sec
rotary of State stated privately to a dis
tinguished diplomat with whom he was
dining, that collision of empires was
non-avertable, and that the peace con-
ference must sooner or later prove ut
terly abortiye in all its efforts to main
tain European tranquility. The Secre-
tary also decidedly asserted that in the
event of general broil across the sea,
the United States would serenely main
| tain most prosperous neutrality, and
reap ten fold the commerce she lost
during our own instruction through
the cupidity of England and France.

Agricultural.


Some farmers treat their horses in winter
much as they do their fattening cattle and
sheep. They give them abundant food, and
but little exercise. keep them in a warm and
dimIy lighted stable, aud If they do but grow
fat. with their cattle and sheep, they deem it
convincing proof that the proper course has
been pursued. Now horses in good working
condition. at least, should be seen on the
premises of good farmer. but his gratitude
towards these faithful servants should not in
duce BIN. at any time of the year, to stall-fee ed
them. The butcher wants thick meat and
plenty of tallOw in the cattle and sheep, but
the plowmsn locks for strong muscle, spirit
and endurance in his team. the food and care
of the different animals should be consistent
with the ultimate purpose they are TO serve
Fat horses that have been wintered mostly in
the stable, without much exercise, are not fl

Killing Hogs.

Killing hogs is business in which the
whole community is interested, and perhaps
a small portion acquainted with. 1t is termed
80 butchering,' and Is often carried on in
butchering style, while it is business worthy
OF being conducted in decent and scientific
way. L do not propose going into long
programme of telling how to catch hog
and how to hold him, &c, but to throw out
q few hints.
Do not suffer the hog to be run over and
worried by men, boys and dogs, getting his
blood and iesh heated, Just before killing. /
believe this is one reason for meat spelling.
Sometimes We drive a hog or two 10 Neigh
