which 1t has assumed, if 1t dared. The people however are more than ever bent on striking blow for Venetia, and it will be difficult matter to hold the Italian Volunteers in hand even during the sitting of the Congress. Several thousand of them have already passed to the frontier. Great Britain is of course desirous of pre- serving peace Russia is not likely to de- rive any advantage from war which would in all probability afford an opportunity for all the revolutionary elements upon the | Continent to awaken to renewed life. Nor is the present position of Napoleon so abun- dantly secure as to enable him to view with equanimity the breaking out of such convulsive war as general European struggle would now necessarily be. He knows that if these millions of armed men who are now standing front to front, once meet in hostile combat, thrones will be overturned, and the map of Europe remo- deled in manner which it is impossible to foresee. The Magyar and the Pole would not be the only revolutionists who would seize upon the golden opportunity. The Orleanists and the Red Republican would also be upon the qua viue and ready to strike a blow if occasion offered.
 1 We rejoice to see the government and the people of Great itain-while ready to intervene as far as possible to bring about peaceful solution of existing difti- culties--are determined to avoid all inter ineddling in the war, should it come. The position of Great Britain is now very different to what it was at the commence ment of the century She has shaken her. self free from German complications; and with the exception of Gibraltar, Malta and Heligoland, has no stake in Europe save such as her commercial relations with the continent create. She is in fact more con- cerned in the affairs of the East, in the keeping open of the road between her Eastern and Western Empires than in the affairs of Austria or of Prussia. It makes no difference to her whether Francis Jo- seph or Victor Emmanuel rule over Vene- tia, so long as the highroad to India is kept open and her maritime power enables her to keep up communication with British America and the other outlying portions of her immense Empire. Especially at the present time, when the people of the United States are exhibiting so much hos tility to us, we rejoice that Great Britain is determined to avoid as far as possible all intermeddling in the continental wal should 1t come.

Particulars of the First Engagement.

Hamburg Cor. London News, June l9.
 The first blood has been shed in this unrighteous and unnatural civil war. On Sunday evening corps of eight hundred Prussians were embarked at Harburg on board the iron-clad frigate Arminics and one of the river passenger steamers, and arrived off Brunshausen at o'clock yes terday morning, where they immediately landed, and after spiking the thirteen guns found in the fort, and destroying the earthworks forming the approaches, march ed along the dykes to Stade, formerly fortress of considerable importance, but now in a very dilapidated condition. The greater part of the heavy guns and other material of the artillery had been withdrawn and sent into the interior of the country, so that there remained but small garrison of only three hundred men, who were cer- tainly not in position to resist siege or offer much opposition to a superior force. Still they showed fight, and prepared to defend themselves when summoned to sur- render but the Prussians immediately fired volley into them, killing and wounding few Hanoverians, when the commandant, perceiving the uselessness of further oppos- ition, capitulated, and the Prussians took possession of the garrison, who, however, after being disarmed, were allowed to pro ceed to their respective homes, previously being obliged to give their parole not to fight against the Prussians during the rest of this unhappy war. Prussian accounts of this transaction exult at the quantity oi military stores that have thus fallen into their hands, which is, however, denied by the Hanoverians.

THE CONDITION OF EUROPE.

The following just and able view of Euro peon affairs-we take from late number of the Hamilton c. W. Spcctato,--it is of unusual interest, being from an interested standpoint:
 Europe is at this moment trembling up- on the brink of destructive war, which if once commenced will not only occasion a terrible amount of individual suffering but will also effect mighty change among the dynasties of that continent before 1t is brought to conclusion. Great Britain, France and Russia are labouring, the for mer assiduously to bring about an Inter- national Conference, and the "Scotia" brings the intelligence that all the inter ested parties have consented to participate therein Still there is great fear that the conference will fail to achieve any good results, that hostilites will only be deferred for few days, and that no peaceful solu- ton exists for the numerous intricate ques- tions which for some time past have been agitating the nations of Europe, to greater or less degree, and now seem to have all come up'for settlement at one and the same time In Europe to day
 clean look prophets whisper fearful change, Rich men look sad and rufians dance and leap, The one in fear to lose what they enjoy,
 The other to enjoy by rage and war"
 Still there is much to be hoped from the strong disposition of large portion of the people of Europe for peace. Prussia, ag- gressive and determined for war as she ap- pears, is in reality favourable to peace. M. Bismark and the King together perhaps with portion of the army would like to see war, partly because they hope by aggres- sive measures to carry out their ambitious designs upon Austria, and also because they are desirous of turning the minds of the Prussian people from their own down. trodden condition. The people of Prussla themselves are for the most part opposed to war, though probably like other nations if they found themselves once engaged Tn active hostilities, they would do all they could to bring it to successful issue National pride would no doubt induce them to do so. The Austrian government and people on the other hand do not scruple to admit that they are anxious to preserve peace if possible, and to avoid war in every honorable way. Ii Austria goes to war i will be solely with view of defending hel own soil from invasion. Italy is in reality the only nation which is practically unani
 mously in favor of war, yet it is question able whether the government itself woui' not be glad to withdraw from the position

\ GRAND OLD POEM.

Who shall judge man from manners? Who shall know him by his dress? Paupers may be fit for princes,
 Princes fit for something less. Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket,
 May beclothe the golden ore Of the deepest thoughts and feeling Satin vests could do no more. There are springs of crystal nectar Ever yelling out of stone, There are purple buds and golden
 Hidden, crushed, and overgrown; God who counts by souls not dresses, Loves and prospers you and me, While he values thrones the highest, But as pebbles in the sea. Man, upraised above his fellows,
 Oft forgets his fellows then; Masters, rulers, lords. remember
 That your meanest minds are men; Men by labor, men by feeling,
 Men by thought, men by fame, Claiming equal rights to sunshine, In mans ennobling name. There are foam embroidered oceans There are little weed-clad rills; There are feeble, inch-high saplings, There are cedars on the hills God, who counts by souls, not stations, Loves and prospers you and me; For, to Him, all vain distinctions Are as pebbles in the sea- Toiling hands alone are builders
 Of nations wealth or fame; Titled laziness is pensioned,
 Fed and fattened on the same; By the sweat of others forheads, Living only to rejoice, While the poor mans outraged freedom Vainly lifted up its voice. Truth and justice are eternal,
 Born with loveliness and light, Secret wrongs shall never prosper While there is sunny right; God, whose world-heard voice is singing Boundless love to you and me, Sinks oppression with its titles,
 As the pebbles in the sea.

sWHo MADE YoU?''--One of the ladies con- nected with the Methodist Five Points Mis- sion, who has under her charge somo thirty little boys, called them together on the morn ing of Christmas to perfect them in the an- swers to questions she intended to put to them before the visitors in the afternoon. After arranging them properly, the first boy on the right, in answer to the question, "Who made you?' was to say, "God." The next, "Of what were you made?" to reply, ''The dust of the earth" and so on through the catechism. The all-important moment having arrived, tho little ,sshavers" were told to stand up. Tho little head boy, it seems was missing, but the fact being unnoticed by the teacher, she pro- ceeded with the question, "Who made you'" | which clicited the following Imaginable answer: ssI was made of the dust of the ert, but the | little fellow what God made has got the belly ache and gone home."

A Western Editors Experience.

Never will we forget the time we met our sweet Kitty in the center of vast wilderness of briars in the old Buckeye State. Her eyes were as black as the berries in her basket, and as brilliant as those of the cat-bird chattering over her head; her lips were ruby red, her cheeks lily white, except a broad streak of purple fruit stain, reaching from ear to ear Heavens didn't she look lovely? Our own basket was full and we volunteered our assistance to fill that carried by her. Often, while plucking the melting fruit from some glorious cluster, her curls-Kit- ty had curls glossy and golden-her curls brushed our cheeks, we thought, very of ten, but it seemed somehow accidental Somehow, too, we were always at work upon the same clusters, and Kittys lips were very close to ours when she turned to speak. At last Kitty's lips pouted, Kit tvs eyes flashed and she almost succeeded in coaxing into her smooth white brow one or two indignant wrinkles.
 ''Don't you think" said she, 'that the other day when I was out here all alone, just as we are, with Ned Jones. the naugh- ty fellow up and kissed mel" We didn't like Ned, and we were very ready to say that he was naughty. He just caught me this way" and her lips almost touched ours, and we felt violent humping in the region of our heart, but she didn't quite do it, and the peril was soon over.
 We felt all over that we were on the verge of being just as naughty as Ned; yet our bashfulness saved us. Still pouting, and we thought worse than ever, she placed both her hands on our shoulder and turning her sweet face towards ours said
 "You are a dear good boy; you ain'i going to be naughty, like Ned wasY v Heavensl how our heart futtered. We seemed losing our breath and moment after Kitty was saying:
 s'You are very, very naughty boy ]"

A HUMAN FIEND.--Isaac Chans, negro Libby prison, Richmond, on Monday, but was fortunately frustrated. The Times thus gives his history:
 This negro is from Ohio. During the year 1868 he enlisted in Sherman's army and was with him in his march from Atlanta to Colum- bia, South Carolina, where he says he found one hundred thousand dollars. After the burning of Columbia he was transferred to East Tennessee, and was with Gen, Burbridge in his attack on the Virginia Salt Works. Here he was captured by the Confederate for ces and carried to Lynchburg, where he was sold to farmer named Giles, living in Rock bridge county, and lived there until the 9th of October, 1865. On that day Mfr. Giles said something to the negro which so enraged him that he struck Mir. G. on the head with Q staye, killing him instantly. The negro next went to the house, took all the valuables he could find, and then set fire to it, burning up the wife of Mr. Giles, who was in an upper room asleep. He was arrested few days after, tried before military commission and sen- tenced to be hung on the 5th of May. He was brought to this city and confined in the Libby, and every preparation made for his execution, but, he being ''ward of the nation," re- prieve was granted him. He is still in close confinement, and we hope soon to have the pleasure of recording hanging in which he will be deeply interested. He admits having killed the man, but denies firing the house. or in any way being concerned in the death of ] the lady. M o1 i

Love is as necessary to womans heart as a fashionable bonnet to her head. Indeed, we think rather more so, for nothing less than a large measure of love will content her; whereas, the recent fashion has shown that she can be satisfied with a very little bonnet.

New organic Act for the territories.


The Idaho Statesman of the l2tbinst., pub.
fishes the above mentioned law of Congress
amending the organic law of the Territories,
aud in another column attempts to give re-
view of the same, which, without a careful
comparison, would not be recognized as hay-
ing any reference to the bill. The bill and
comments OF the Statesman might we'll be la
beled "sugar coated pills" adapted to dseas-
es of the .nountains-a sort OF quack COM
pound, the only merit of which is to nause-
ate the juvenile patient who is forced by pa
rental authority to swallow the dose.

We say, then, either this act interferes with
vested rights, or it has no binding legal effect
at all. Ii company to which is granted
privileges, has one, two or three months to
organize, that is as much vested right as
though the organization was complete and it
was carrying on the business fol which it was
created. But this is mild form of the sac
charine matter which is spread over the dose
The Civil Rights bill makes all men citizens
of the United States who were boru therein,
and the new Territorial Bill declares as fol-
lows:
SEC. 8. That within the Territories aforesaid
there shall be no denial Of the elective franchise
30 citizens of the United States because of race
or color and all persons shall be equal before the
law. And all acts or parts of acts, either of Con.
gress or OF the Legislative Assemblies of the Ter
rtories aforesaid, inconsistent with the provisions
Of this act. are hereby declared null and vOid.'
This is the section which the Statesman
declares sis matter of no iRterest to the
people of the Territories except as an abb
stract question, which, if left 10 vote, would
be opposed by four r-fifths of the voters in
Idaho. II it should become a law, it would
not admit colsred persons enough 10 the polls
10 change the result of single precinct in
the Territory" How does the Statesman
know. that it would not admit of cclored per.
sons enough to materially CHANGE the RESULT
of single election2 bow does he know il
would change the result AT ALL?
The opponents of the Radicals have not fol
moment entertained this objection. It has
given way to one of higher ard more im
portant consideration. 1t is vital principl,
about which we war-it is the rights of tn,
white man of which we are tenacious-thei
entire independence of negro interference
We oppose the passage of any and all law
that will PERMIT the association of whites ant
blacks in the exercise of political rights o.
discharge of political duties. 1t is no argu
ment In. support Of that bill-it is no pallia
tion of the gross outrage committed upol
the intelligent people of1the Territories il
the granting of the right of suffrage to ne
0roes, that there are no negroes there to en-
10Y it, and we trust and predict that so loni
as the present generation in the Territorie
remains, no party whose skirts are smeare,
with participation in the passage OF the bill
under consideration, will ever receive thei
support Oregon Herald.
