THE WAR CLOUD.

Our latest advices from Europe are gloomy
indeed The prospect of amieabiy terminating
the difficulties between Austria, Prussia and
Italy, seems to have been gradually and surely
.overshadowed and darkeDed by the gathering
clouds of war. The Emperor Of France con-
,si6ers the assembling of the Peace Congress as
useless, since Austria makes such reservations
.ss would necessarily embarass It's proceedings
Russia aud England coincide with Napoleon ID
bis view Of the case; and il cow appears that
these great Powers will withdraw all Efforts at
mediation, and leave the hostile Cabinets to de-
eide for themselves whether they shall have
peace war
Austria has made huge preparations for
conflict. She has eight hundred thousand men
in the ranks of her army, we'll appointed, sup
piled with the most improved arms, and drilled
to move like machines Victor Emanuel has
called TO the field half million Italians, all
anxious to encounter the Austrians. Gaibaldl
is one ofAbis chosen leaders, and the name OF
this illustrious champion of freedom is in itself
a host aud battle-cry for the Italians. Prussia
6as ready for action an army not inferior to that
of Austria, with parks of artillery numbering
nearly eleven hundred pieces. War seems In
evitable, aud should hosilites occur, human
presciebce is at fault where. when and how 1t
shall end 1t will be conflict of extraordinary
most likely will involve the whole continent.
France can hardly steer clear, aud England Will
find it hard to keep out of the mealstrom. Hun
gary and Poland may take advantage OF the
struggle, and rise ia revolution against their
masters.
Taken altogether, the intelligence from the
Old World is calculated to awaken the deepest
interest and the, most painful apprehensions
War is always to be dcplorod. 1t leaves in its
wake misery, desolatiop, rapine, carnage. The
innocent suffer alike with the guilty. Those
who are its iustigators and uptdfders, seldom
bear equally with those who are its opposers,
the evils which follow in its train. Hence HUI
manity shudders when the gates of Janus are
thrown wide open and the chariot of Mars issues
forth on its mission of blood and devastation
Europe will suffer to degree hitherto unknown
in her annals, should this impending war cul-
inmate 10 hostilites. The world sees vital
principle involved and consequently it deplores,
for the FAKE of the human family, a carnage
which promises such dire mischief to the race.

MARRYING A WIPES SISTER.

The British House of Commons have. by a
very decided vote, rejected bill to legalize mar
rage between man and his deceased wife's SIS
ter This subject has been long tune before the
British Parliament. The Commons have more
than once, if we mistake not approved bills legal
izing such marriages, but the Lords have rejec-
ted them The debate was.a warm one. The
Commons had received petitions, bearing, it is
said, the signatures of over million of persons,
including, at least, one Bishop and several hun
dred of the clergy of the English Church, in favor
of the measure. The friends of the bill pointed
out that in prohibiting these marriages England
was an exception among civilized nations. France
allowed them Switzerland allowed them they
were sanctioned by all the Protestant churches
ont Of the British dominions, and by the Roman
Catholic Church-the latter under the restriction
of requiring a dispensation. The point most
warmly discussed was, whether woman could
live in the family of her married sister, honorably
and free of all imputation of seeking succession,
as long as the law permitted the possibility of her
being married to the head of the family. This
was denied on the one hand, and maintained on
the other. The presence of the wifes sister in
the family, if marriage with The husband was,
however remotely possible, was, it was argued,
the fruitful cause of jealousy on the part Of the
wife and, despite the best intention on the part
of the sister, her presence in the family created in
her mind an idea that she would he the successor
of her sister as the wife of her brothern-law.-
On the other hand, it was argued that the de-
ceased wife's sister was to be preferred as the
step-mo,her of her sisters children, and that the
law which excluded her from that relation. and
turned these children over to another woman. q
stranger III blood and affection, was cruel and
unnatural

to humbug your constituents by pretending to
any fear of the physical strength of the South.
The Confederacy has not under Its control a
single cannon, a single musket, or single round
of ammunition.
Referring to the majority in the. House. the
speaker said they were bent on schemes which
seem to contain nothing but the elements of
mischief and revenge, leading to continued
and indefinite separation of the Union, and
aiming at the degradation of the white people
of the South This last you will not, and say
it in the name of the American people, you shall
not accomplish.
But there is something in the spirit of the
southern people which will thwart your designs.
Ii they have lowered the standard of the Con-
federacy, they have not lowered the standard of
their pride-a becoming pride in the estimation
of an honorable enemy. The southcrner has
around him, without speaking of the merits of
the late contest, tokens of the endurance,
courage, aud proves Of ais people. Sad spec
tacle though it be; it will not diminish his tone
that he can on his own soil walk over the graves
of nearly three hundred thousand of his courage
Gus enemies; aud
''Standing the Yankees grave,
He will not deem himself slave"
The schemes by which you will bring about
some Of the results l have alluded to are now
before Congress and the country. You twist
and turn aud go through all the contcrtiops of a
serpent, in order to make the negroes the fellow
citizens and equals of the white man, and yet
you are not satisfied that you can do it. In the
civil rights bill you boldly declared them to be
citizens Of the United States | admired the
boldness of the declaration, because it was known
to come in direct conflict with the highest
judicial authority 10 this country, and which
rendered such congressional declaration per-
fecty null and void
The amendment of the Constitution now sub
United to the country, and doubtfully reitera-
ting the fact of negro citizenship, aud otherwise
in an equivocal manner struggling to bring
about equality of the races, will be spurned
from their presence by the Southern States,
and, thank Heaven, there are Southern States
enough to make southern contempt for it effect
ual 1t will hardly prove an annoyance. The
States will still retain control, and govern in
their own way, that portion of their population
without leave asked of the United States.
Mr. Harris continued at some length, aud
concluded by arguing that the leaders of the re-
bellion were not guilty Of treason for the reason
that secession, he asserted, was Alright reserved
to the States under the Constitution.

THE NEGROES AND THE CorToN CROP
Letters from Alabama speak of growing dis
position to complain on the part of those freed
men who accepted ga share iu the CROP as a
recompense for their labor, instead of a fixed
rate for wages. This IS mainly the case sn
plantations where the prospects of yield are
poor, which the freedmen, being not slow to
discover, offer for an excuse for leaving, liz
hopes of better luck elsewhere. The conse-
quence is, that crops which might possibly turn
out better than expected, are left at most
critical season to be lost altogether, it being i'm
possible to secure help on such terms as the
planters can afford
