The Congressional Question.

RoCRPoRT, juno 9th, 1866.
To the Editor of the LEADER:
A few plain reasons why Mr.. Parsons
ought to receive the Congressional nomi-
nation:
LIST. Because he is by talent and business
qualifications well qualified to perform
the duties of an NJ. c.
ID. Because it is desirable to have ac-
tive, stirring, business men in the next
Congress.
Sd. Because il was well understood at the
last Congressional election that Mr.. Spal-
ding would retire at the end of his term,
4th, Because it is not doubted by any
SAINT man that Mr. Spalding took an
active part in the removal OF our late
postmaster-and upon the principle of ro-
tation, he ought to gratefully retire, and
make room for his own successor.
9TH. Because in this intelligent District
the electors have come to the conclusion
to do their own thinking, and not be en-
tirely controlled by the Cleveland Head
Senter' and his satellites.
9th. Because when a man, holding an
official position, has arrived at the maxi
mum age allotted to him (by the great ON
nipotent) he ought to modestly retire, and
not wait until he is turned OUT.
could adduce many other reasons why
our candidate, Mr.. Parsons, ought to be
elected-but l forbear. RoCKPoRT.

Reports from various counties adjacent
to the lake, continues to come in, showing
the terrible havoc among sheep by the
late storm and cold weather. We have
| given extracts from various papers show
ing Il loss of more than thirty thousand
head. We continue to clip from ouI ex-
changes.
The Detroit AdUertiser says: The cold
rain storm that began in this vicinity on
| Sunday last and continued throughout
Monday, extended to about every part of
the State, and was of unprecedented Sc
verify. It came at q time most unfortu-
nate for the sheep-growing interest of the
| State. The sheep had very generally
lust been shorn when the cold beating
rain came, and it is safe to say that thou
sands of them died from exposure. There
is scarcely a letter from our correspon-
dents-stationed in all sections of the
| gtate-which does not record the death of
| sheep from exposure to the storm. Some
of the accounts, which it is to be hoped
may prove exaggerated, are of a very Sc
rious nature. In the aggregate, the loss
to the sheep-growers Of the State will be
heavy.
The Pontiac, Michigan, correspondent
of the Detroit Post says: Farmers from
the adjoining townships report that the
cold, long continued storm killed large
| numbers of sheep that had b~e-hr
sborn Some single farnne-s OF Troy lost
rs many as thirty to forty. In the vicin-
ity of Rochester, we are told, thousands
of sheep died from this cause.
The Medina, Ohio, Gazette says: The
farmers of Medina county have suffered
materially from tho loss of sheep from the
cold weather on Saturday the 18th and 18th
insts. The loss with some farmers ap-
pears frlghtful. One farmer in York lost
loo, in Sharon GO, in Chatam 30, in Gull
ford so, in Hinckney LOO. Hindsdale,
of Wsdsworth, considers his loss 1000
From the individual losses as above sta
ted, and the estimates from prominent
men from the several townships, we think
the loss in the whole county to be not less
than $4,000. We would suggest as a n.y.
gienic measure the burial of the carcasses
of all the above sheep.
The Wadsworth, Ohio, Enterprise says
The cold rain last Monday was very hard
on sheep that had been recently shorn. It
is estimated that upwards of 5000 perish
ed in Medina county alone. Among the
heaviest losers in this vicinity are the fol-
lowing: A. Hindsdale, 40 the most of
them we're choice Vermont sheep, valued
at 9 $1,000. S. Coplin, 50; Mr.. Chan
der 60: NJ. Shank, so Widow Culp, So;
Ed. Hollowell, 40; VIM. Bronse, 40;
Aaron Culp, %; Aaron Yoder and Geo.
Styre, each; VIM. Freebore, :; 20. Beach
s. Joseph Bolick also lost quite number,
but we did not learn how many. We
have heard of other losses, but were una
Bile to learn the names ofthe parties. We
have just been informed that many Of the
sheep that died last Monday, remain I'M
buried This should not be permitted, as
it may create a pestilence.

War in Europe.

The news of the declaration of wal by
Prussia, brought by the last steamer,
marks definitely the commencement of
one of the most gigantic struggles of
European history. For six months Prus-
STA aud Austria have been drifting into
war, and for a fortnight the contest be-
tween them, with Italy as q coadjutator
of Prussia and all the powers Of Europe
ranged, in sympathy which may yet ripen
into action, on one side or the other, has
been inevitable. Since the first of June
events have hurried forward with rapid
stride. After Austria had refused to en-
ter into a Conference except upon condi-
tons which none of the other powers
were willing TO guarantee, Prussia, who
has been all along apparently anxious to
plunge into the conflict, took q very i'm
portant step in occupying Holstein, con-
corning which the dispute between Prus-
STA and Austria had arisen, by force. The
Prussian forces invaded Holstein from the
province of Schlesaig, lying north of it.
The Austrian forces retired slowly before
overwhelming numbers of the Prussians,
without risking an engagement. On the
eleventh of June the Austrian m
der, General Won Gablenz, evacuated
Holstein, retiring through Hanover to
Frankfort and on the succeeding day the
Prussian forces completed thei occupa-
ton of it by entering Altoona, the south
ernmost town of the duchy.
Meantime this bold step had created
great sensation, not only at Vienna, but
at Frankfort-on-the-Mai where the Fed
eral Diet, the ruling body of the German
ic Confederation, was in session, discus
sing the radical reformation of that Con-
federation, and in other ways vainly striv-
ing to prevent the approaching conflict.
A motion was made at once by the Aus
trian representative to mobilize the Fed
ersl army-s force consisting of about
half q million men, made UP Of levies
from the States belonging to the Confed-
Grafton, and under the control of the Diet.
Prussia, carrying matters with a high
hand, thereupon notified the German
States that the adoption of this mo-
ton would be regarded by Prussia
as an act of hostility, and would give
cause for q declaration of war, I'm
deferred by this threat, the Diet OF
the l4th inst, adopted the motion. Prus-
STA Immediately withdrew, declared wal,
and has commenced marching troops into
Hanover and SaIony. As neither of these
countries belong to Austria, but are indie
pendent German Kingdoms, We antici-
pate that the action of Prussia will result
in allying them with Austria in the pres
ent contest. We shall undoubtedly hear
new of a bloody conflict very speedily.
Meantime Italy, who has seen in this
quarrel between Prussia aud Austria OPP
portunity to settle an old score with the
latter power, has m~arshalled three hun
bred thousand troops on the Venetian
frontier ready at the first sound of war in
the North to pour them over the border
and press on for the redemption of Venice
from Austrian rule. France stands at the
back of Italy. The Germanic confcdera-
ton and Russia sympathize with Austria.
England balances with her usual sagacity
betwehn the contestants.

GOOD Men in a Rad business.

The "misfortunes /" of JEFF. Davis have
enlisted the sympathies Of Gerritt Smith
aud Horace Greeley, two of the purest,
yet the most unaceountably eccentric
public men in the country. Both have
been lifelong advocates of radicalism in
American politics, and the subjects of
unceasing abuse, personal and political, at
the hands of Southerners. Probably the
time has passed out of their recollection
when, previous to the war, either of them
could have yentured into 4hAlalAaAG4
with safety. Their championship now of
the representative mar of the South has
in it more of the forgiving spirit of Chris
sianity than the " old Adam of human
nature. MI. Greeleys course is evidently.
dictated by considerations of mercy alone,
the magnitude of his clients crimes and
the business of his punishment being ad-
mitted without question. Mr.. Smith,
however, denies the right of the Govern
ment to try the chief conspirator for
treason-denies that he committed trea-
son. The idiosyncracies Of some men
border on insanity, and Gerritt Smiths
are illustrative of this. No one questions
his sincerity, but his Judgment is sadly at
fault. He is most an estimable man
charitable, democratic, Industrious a
philanthropist IN a grand scale, giving
away a thousand farms to poor men, sub
scribing and paying wen hundred dol
lars a month, for two rigorous seasons, to
assist the needy in Kansas, and, when in
Congress. advocating the acquisition of
Cuba on the groundthat American slavery
was more humane than Spanish slavery.
With his undoubtedly great talents
wealth, upright character and social psi
ton, he might have done q vast deal more
good than he did in the politics' world
had he not been one of the Impractical
bles. I'm -
