Important War News from Europe.

Important War News from Europe.
The war news by the Peruvian TO July 20 is
incompletely reported by the telegraph. From
it we are enabled to gather the important facts
that Prussia, at the very gates Of Vienna, had
offered terms to Austria; had granted her an
armistice Of FIVE days to consider the PROPOSE
tons, and that Austria had positively declined
TO accept the proposals. The details Of this
news will be looked for with intense interest.
In all probability the war is to continue with
increased vigor. Large armies are being
rapidly concentrated before Vienna, and the
battle which is yet to be fought for the capital
and tho empire promises to be tho bloodiest Of
the campaign.
In the meantime the late declarations of
Russia as to the proper conduct Of aeutral
Powers have produced an effect In Paris, and .
government organ, in the confidence of Napo-
leon, announces in very positive language that
France has no intention of becoming an armed
mediator in the conflict With q wholesome
dread of each other, France and Russia cry to
each other, Hands off," and the central Powers
Of Europe are to fight the matter out, the neu-
trail Powers standing ready and prepared to
prevent either becoming dangerously powerful.
The RESIGNATION OF SECRETARY Harlan
Mr.. Harlan, Secretary of the Interior, has at
last resigned his position in the Cabinet, and
the President has appointed ex-senator Brown
ing, Of Illinois, as his successor. Ii may be
truly said Of Mr.. Harlan that nothing in his
official career 80 becomes him as the leaving
oft. Although known to be politically op-
posed to the President he continued to retain
his portfolio in defiance Of the ordinary rules
of honor and Of custom. A weak man, with
no influence in or out OF his party, he was used
by the radicals as their tool, and served them
to the extent Of his small ability; but even
they will scarcely regret his withdrawal. With
Messra Dennison aud Speed, he set an exam
pie Of adhering to Office in spite OF every con-
sideration OF principle and consistency which
all other public men will do well not to fol-
low. He goes into the Senate next March,
but will hardly escape his Inerited cbscurity
even there.
composed partly Of new men and partly Of the
old material. Messrs. Seward, Welles and
McCulloch are not expected to resign. About
Mr.. Stanton doubts are expressed on all sides.
One day the radicals claim him, and the next
day he In said to be writing letter in favor Of
the Philadelphia Convention. If he be opposed
to the President he ought certainly to resign,
and if he be friendly tos the President he
ought to resign also, as the greatest service he
could do Mr.. Johnson. Whether half-and-
half Cabinet like this will be as strong and rs
efficient as an entirely new one, drawn directly
from the people and based upon the great
issues Of the day, Is question which We shall
not at present discuss. But al any rate Sccre-
tary Harlan's resignation is o good thing, and
Secretary Stsnton's would be even better

documentary evidence so eneCtually az 10 leave
no doubt Of their guilt, unless we reject the
letters ia toto, notwithstanding the denials and
pretended innocence at the time. Il is some
what curious to see how the names OF Ben
Wood, Singleton, vallandigham and other noto-
rious coppcrheads turn up in this correspond
ence and to trace the extent OF their ramifica-
tons in the Northern States. Whatever may be
thought sbout the connection of Je6 Davis
with these conspirsciee, II these letters are
true, there can be no room for doubt in regard
TO the guilt Of his agents in Canada in all these
transactions. The correspondence gives ms
some idea Of the condition that the North
would have been in had they succeeded in
carrying out their schemes The fact that oil
thcse communications were sent 10 Richmond
and found among the archives OF the rebel
government is considered by the committee
strong presumptive evidence that JeT Davis
and his whole Cabinet endorsed the proceed
ings, and that Clay, Thompson and Company
were carrying out private instructions from
that quarter.
This brings US directly 10 the point ofthe facts
obtained in regard to the implication Of Jeif
Davis In the assassination Of Mr.. Lincoln.
Under this head the committee give several
letters, written BY different parties 70 Jen
Davis, proposing 70 organize party or parties
W assassinaie or otherwise dispose OF promi-
ncnt men in the North. These letters, Il seems,
were al referred by Davis TO the Secretary Of
War, with directions for that official to zee
the parties making the proposition. II seems,
too, that the interviews were bad in almost every
case, which shows that propositions Of this
kind were entertained at Richmond, even II
they were never approved. The anidavits Of
different parties in the possession Of the Bureau
Of Military Justice, showing the direct .v1nss-
tion Of Davis with this great crime, are all re-
jectsd by the committee. This Ia the evidence
that has been exposed by our Washington
correspondence. The committee state that

A combination Of circumstances that
have deprived us Of our usual typo

pecially and imperativcly necessary IN

forothcr sufficient and natural reasons,
we have felt avcrse to ming!ing with

The Baltimore Sun, speaking Of the
Fair in that city for the relief OF the
South, says:
This noble charity has proved a sue
cess beyond the most sangninc hope OF
its projectors; $4,000 has been re
ceivcd by the treasurer, and dishurScd
by the State Committee, and the amount
yet to be handed in from the tables and
outside Committees, is estimated at
Sl1,500. The total expenses of the
Fair amounted to S3,50O-leaving the
handsome sum of $4,000 as the net
proceeds. This is the more gratifying
when it is borne in mind that the Fair
was held at Il period of great mcrcan-
tile depression, and in community
that has been more severely taxed for
similar objects during the past five
years than any other in the country,

Iy the subioimed remark, recently

In the subjoined remark, recently
made by one ofthe Senators from Ohio,
NAV be found the gist of the evil Of the
times. During the discussion, on
Thursday last, of the reconstruction
question, Mr.. Doolittle offered an
amendment in lieu of the Senate caucus
proposition regarding the basis Of sui
fragc in the States. Mr.. Sherman, of
Ohio, said she believed Mr.. Doolittlc's
amendment was right in principle, but
he should vote against it because he
felt it his duty to sustain the action
agreed upon by his political friends,
and he knew it would he impossible to
arrive at any conclusion without some
sacrifice of personal preferences
A Senator, under the solemn respon-
sibilitv of his official oath, declares
himself ready to vote against his con
v~ictions of right in orderthat his party
may be sustained. That this has been
done time and again there is no doubt,
but we do not recollect a previous in
stance in which it has been so clearly
avowed. To reach a conclusion salts
factory to his political friends" Sen
ator Sherman is willing to torcgo his
"p%ersonal preferences,"-to forget his
sworn duty-to sacrifice his sense of
right, and abandon his principles.
When this is the motive which actu-
ates prominent men in the Government,
how can we expect wise and wholesome
legislation? The good of the country
is made Subordinate to the interests Of

The Louisville Democrats Opih-
ion of the South.

In an article in the Democrat of the
10th inst, we find the following re-
mark:
Ours was the hest Government in
the world. and might have remained so
if the South had been faithful to Its
forms and provisions.
TEcn of course the South was alone
to blame. The immaculate North dld
no wrong. The people OF that section
did not steal negroes, or @ their en-
issarics through the South to SOW the
| seeds Of discomfort among the slaves,
and incitc them to instruction. They
never attempted to exclude the South
from equal rights in the Territories,
They did not elect Il President upon
the issue of hostility to slavery who
held the dogma that there was an ire
pressiblc conflict between slave aud
free labor and that onc or the other
system must perish, rs one has persisted
under the practical operation of that
doctrine. And when they saw that the
Southern people were seriously alarmed
and that intense excitement pcrvaded
that whole section, did not sternly and
insultingly refuse all terms Of compro,
mise. all guarantees of security, all
suggestions to avert the storm then so
threatening, and which soon burst with
such wild and terrific fury. The Dem
ocrat, we suppose, never heard tha'
the North did all these things, and ii
therefore tells its readers that it was
:, the unfaithfulness of the South which
DESTROYED the Government. Is 1t adj
miration Of the nctarious policy which
drove the South to resistance, in Tho
belief that only by such a course coulc

The Crops.

During this week we have made 1T a
to enquire Of II farmer friends
from almost every neighborhood in the
county, as TO the state of the crops
and we can see no reason from the aV-
craze reports, to feel anything but
thankful. This year cotton is the crop
depended upon, and therefore most
thought of. In almost every nelghbor-
hood we can hear Of some little com
plant Of the unreasonable cold weather
of late, and the consequent appearance
of the cotton louise. But no where has
either the cold or the louise done Sc
rious damage. A few days OF warm
weather will put the cotton all right
The wheat, as a general thing, is very
LIGHT. The cold weather OF last winter
thinned out most Of crops, and those
of some neighborhoods are seriously
damaged by the rust. About hall
crop will probably be secured. 1ht
corn crop is quite promising; the only
drawback Icing in the small amoun'
planted. The oat field are also entire

are very fine. On the subject OF labo

Now and then you hear a man re
