not always declaimed for the inviola-
bility ofsthe Union To urge the
excluded States to accredit comlnis-
sioners to that body seems to us to
court humiliation. We sent good men
and true to Congress, and they were
spurned and rejected. Shall we send
delegates to Philadelphia on the 18th
of August to be similarly treated :
We hope not. We hope the South
will maintain what little respect is
left her, and that she will not place
herself in positions where naught but
humiliation and disgrace await her.
But see the announcement of the
Charleston News.
In Saturdays paper we Published a
call tor a convention Of the conservative
men Of the country, to be held in Phila.
dclphia on the fourteenth Of August.
Giving'a plain and common sense, con.
struction to the terms of the call, we no.
tlced it .editorially,. and recommended to
the South an earnest participation in the
proceedings Of the convention.
Since writing that article we have
received a. letter from gentleman of
this State, now in Washington, in which
he says that in the. Intelligcncer, of June
20, there is an article s;aung that the
NATIONAL Union Convention will not toll
crate men who have been disunionists.
He says fur'her,t that this statement is no
doubt oy authority. r
We regret TO be compelled to believe
that such should be the fact. And we
hope that the friends of the Union,
both North and South. should still elect
delegates to the Philadelphia Conven.
ton, as they are certainly entitled to do
uhder the call, unless it is further ex-
phined Let the representatives of all
the conservative elements OF tile nation
meet in Philadelphia, and then if the
South is excluded from participation in
chat national assembly, the men of the
North will do it withssthcir eyes open,
and be responsible for all the consequen.

The Austrian and PruSSfan War.

We gather from our exchanges and
adopt the following historical account
of the origin Of, the difficulty that
promises 10 involve the whole of Eu-
rope in mortal strife.. or .N-
We do not propose to, follow the
dispute thfo'1 All Its t,mifcations.
An f"e&haustiye", treatise Upon 1T
would fill several volumes, But the
gist Of 1t is this: The Duchies of
Schleswig and Holstein are subj bjectr to
the Salic law which prohib its a
woman from reigning In N6o they
were inherited by the King ofoDen-
mark, and they remained in the hands
Of his'descendantsuntil the time of
Frederick VII, Who died in 1868 ;
with him the direct male line termi-
mated, and the Duchies legally revert
ed to the young Duke of Augusten-
burg. In view of this contingency,
however, a conference of the great
powers was held in London, in 1852 at
which it was resolved for various, CON
siderations affecting the peace of Eu-
rope, bpt PERHAPS from Difference to
Russia as much as any other, that the
Duchics should remain annexed to
the Danish Crown, and sho,sldnot pass
in the legal order of succession. 81
When the King died in 1868, how
ever, it was found thut the popular
party in Germany were, by no means,
disposed to acquiesce in the arrange
tlents of the diplOmatists. Holstein
is German, and has always been Il
member of the German Confederation,
though governed by Danish PRINCE,
and there was q general outcry against
its annexation to Denmark. The
clamor grew louder every day, and
at last found formal expression thro'
the Diet, which ordered the King of
Denmark to take himself out of Hol-
stein. On his refusal, s'federal exe-
cution'' was ordered-that is the
troops of the Confederation were or
dercd to turn him out, and put the
Duke of Augusterburg in possession.
Up to this point Prussia and Austria
had stood aloof. The movements
against Denmark being an essentially
popular one, they would have nothing
to say to it by, yHtt,aa as sFoop as the troops
began to move, they announced thati if
there was to- be any fighting done,
they would not allow the smaller
States to interfere! BY this time
Denmark had yielded Holstein to- the
Federal army but Prussia now came
in, and demanded Schleswig also, and
sent the Federal army about its bust
ness. Austria then sent troops to the
scene of action also. Denmark pre-
pared for resistance, Lord Russell
swore by the nine gods that Denmark
should not be harmed ); but the Prus-
SLAMS Kept marching. tDuppel was
taken in due course, and then a CON
ference was hastily called in London,
in May, 1864; but Prussia refused to
suspend operations during its sittings.
After a fortnight's wrangling it ac-
complishcd nothing. and it had hardly
broken up when Aisan was taken, the
war was over, and Denmark was pros
trate at the feet of. the invader. ;. A
treaty was made at Vienna in October
Of the same year, by which Denmark
ceded schleswig, Holstcih and Laden-
burgto Prussia and. Austria = jointly,
but Prussia, bought out Austria's 10
terest IN 1iadenburg for 100000
thalers. ~f ~,@! H'la

demonstrations, and the pickering be-
came so serious that an effort was
made to terminate it automatically.
The Convention of Gastein was ac
cordingly made in 1865, by which it
was arranged that Prussia should hold
ISchleswig, the harhor ofKiel, and the
federal fort Of Rendsburg, and Aus
,trias Holstein. This was however, sim
plya provisional arrangement !; noth-
ing was determined as to the ultimate
disposition of the conquered territory.
In February of this year, Bismarls
who makes nc, secret of his belief that
Austria has noebusiness IN Germany,
that she is not a German power, that
her proper capital is Pesth, and her
proper mission the civilization of the
barbarous countries of eastern Eu-
rope--impudently and brusquely gave
her notice that he wished her to evac~
uate Holstein.a She was naturally
somewhat taken aback by this arro-
giant demand, and declined compli-
anco. About this time some disturb
ances broke out among the Jews in
Bohemia. Austria moved troops up
to orcstore order, and Bismark at once
cried out that she was arming. She
denied it he insisted that she was,
and he at once began to put the Prus-
sian army on q war footing, and sent
agents into Italy to stir up the Ital-
iansyand,it is strongly suspected, en-
tered into secret Convention with
Victor Emanuel.
On perceiving the movement in TIA
ly, Austria began to strengthen her
forces i'll Venetia. Bismark affected
to regard this as another threat and
pushed on his preparations with great
or vigor than over, but offered to let
the Austrian corps in Holstein retire
unmohested.a The fsnotesp which have
been since interchanged are mere for
maities. Prussia is clearly deter
mined on trying conclusions with Aus
tria, and the manner in which the
quarrel has begun and carried on
leaves no room for an honorable exit
to either party, nor does it seem that
anything except Bismark's or the
Kings death could now avert an ap-
peal to arms. The confident manner
in which the Italians are moving to the
attack leaves very little doubt that the
whole programme is already made out.
It's, of course, impossible to pre-
dict with confidence the course
events viii take. But it is reasona-
ble. to expect that Austria will be
driven from Venice and out of the
duchies that, ,'at a later stage of the
conflict, Frarice will intervene and
claim the left bank of the Rhine, per-
mitting Prussia to compensate herself
by the absorption of the smaller Ger
man States, and offering Austria the
Danubian Principalities to make up
for her losses in Western and Southern
Europe. Thiswould make UP for her
losses in Western and Southern Eu-
rope. This would make the latter less
Of a German and more of Slavonic and
Rouman power than ever, and wonld
virtually convert Prussia into Ger
man empire. But Russia may prove
disturbing element in this calculation,
and, unless her domestic troubles are
sersous enough to tie her hands, would
probably lay strong hand on the
Pripcipalitics,

The Ohio Wool Market.

| The season Of sheep -shoaring is now upon
us, and with it comes the question of what shall
be the price of wool. Having spent most o. the
| past month at the public shearings and meet
ings of the wool growers, this question has
| been constantly asked me, and have made
such answer as, according to the best Of my in
formation. would subserve the truth I think
no person can say confidently just what wool
will be worth month hence, or what price
farmers ought to insist upon, but so far as l
have any opinion to express, will give it, un-
der the above qualification
In the first place, as TO the causes which will
affect prices this season. The pending tariff
measure agreed upon by the Joint Committee
of the National Wool Growers and National
Manufacturers Associations, can operate only
prospectively. The bill has not, at this writing,
been reported to Congress by the committee of
Ways and Means, so that the nearest possible
time OF its passage is too far in the future to
have very direct influence in determing the
price which shall rule for our woods In June or
July. But the prospective and collateral influ-
enee of this measure will be considerable, Let
US calculate With an impost duty of ten cts
per 10. and ten per cent ad Valorem on foreign
wools-of which foreign woods it takes two
pounds 10 be equal TO one of American wool
to the American wool grower twice ten cents
per pound, and twice ten per cent, say twenty
three cents; add TO this the cost Of the foreign
WOOD, say, at fifteen cents per poand equals thir-
ty cents. makingin all fifty-three cents, besides
exchange, storage, &c, and the American wool
grower will have his own market at an average
of some sixty cents per pound Even under
the present delusive tariff, it il stated in the last
report Of the Boston Board of Trade, by one Of
The best informed wool dealers ia that city, that
even at a cost Of twenty, four cents per pound,
the importation Of Mestizo woods the past sea-
son had not been renumeraiye;, and this while
American wool is quoted At ,fifiy 70 .ftty-fiye
cents. II this calculation is correct, think the
American wool goweS has abundant reason to
he satisfied with the prospective condition Of
the wool market. tl,.lf 30 900.
Another and more immediate cause affecting
the price of wool In 1866, is the fact that the
eastern wool houses are unusually bare, not on,
ly Of foreign but of entire and desirAble lots of
domestic wool. The operations Of manuluctur-
|! crs within the last few weeks have cleared the
eastern wool houses to an extent below that Of
any other time al this seasoa, within The pasl

five years. Meanwhile the machinery of the
wooden mills hss been Increased fully Gfly pei
cent requiring supply Of onc-third more than
all The wool raised in the United Statcs TO keep
II IN even moderate operation.
These two main facts--viz: tho Improbable
ness ofimportation, and the necessity for do
mestic WOOL fix the status of the market at its
present opening.
The wool buyers are already,ip the field with
the expressed determination to take the new
clip at a range of from forty to fifty cents,
Formerly it was'the custom, Just before the
sending out of orders to purchase wool in the
spring, to get up sham sale in Boston OF New
York, and send ous a false report Of. prices; but
as this practice can no longer deceive intelli.
gent men, the specllators have Tesorted to a
system of decrying the condition Of, unrs ools,
and for this purpose have held meetings in
Michigan and Ohio adopting rules both i'm
practicable and unjust, and putting forth declar-
ations concerning the practices ofwool growers
whose impudonce is only equaled by their false
hood. te F. r'a .3sUoi
But the farmers have wool to sell, and these
men will come to buy it. Every farmer must
decide for himself how, he will dispose of his
wool and the price at which he viii hold It, 1t
is always most satisfactory to the farmer to dis
pose Of his stuff at home for cash in hand, and
when satisfactory offer of this kind is made, l
should say take it. But let no farmer be de-
ceived by specious arguments as If the bottom
was about to fall out of the market There
