, THE WAR-CLOUD IN EUROPE.

The war rumors in Europe are already
creating n iluttering IN financial circles
over the water. The demand for mon
ey is so urgent that the Bank OF England
has put up its rate of interest to ten per
cent, and discounts reluctantly at that,
it is said. Several houses have gore
under. 1t may be that a part of the
furry has been caused by extraordinary
cotton speculatiors and stock gambling.
A heavy demand on the New York
market has been the result, and gold
has gone up like rocket
Nobody can tell, of course, whether
the European war rumors will deepen
into the lurid horrors Of a general con,
flagration or subside into gyrating
wreaths and vanish into thin air. 1t is
difficult to penetrate the arcana of Euro
pean diplomacy. He of the Tuileries

southwest OF Paris, and the papers.attri>

honor them in honoring him. And tru>

our martyrs who have given their lives
that the Republic might live, and how
they Gied on bloody fields, in gbastly
hospitals, and spectral prisons, we feel
that we can never too greatly honor or
do too much for those men who were
tho comrades of cur dead.

COPPERHEAD TROUBLES.

Our good, old, ant-war, Copperhead
Democratic party in Pennsylvania, is
having very troublesome time with its
"omnibus Load of allies, the special
friends of "My Policy" Their new
leader, Senator Cowan, insists that IIels-
ter Clymer shall withdraw from the
Democratic candidacy for Governor, and
some such party-betrayer as Mr.. Cowan
take the nomination. Mr.. Cymer is too
much OF a Democrat for these supporters
OF "My Policy"-hence their desire to
have candidate who will suit the few
purchasables Cowan expects to take with
him. This scheme is the source of much
trouble and ann oyance to the Coplcaders,
who do not wish to give up their favor
lite candidate, Mr. Clymer. They contend
that course would demoralize their party
more than any possible advantage it
would r ceive from the support of Mr..
Cowan.
TO our party this is a matter of entire
indifference Gen, Geary can beat the
two factions, no matter who they may
chose to unite on. Mr.. CIymer, in our
Judgment, will be no easier beaten than
any other candidate, in spite of his cop,
perhead record. But Gen. Geary, if he
lives, vii! just as certainly be the next
Governor as Gov. Curtin now is. So lc,
Copperheads and two>headed Republi-
cans worry. All is well tor us.

sylvauia, for that would unite all parties
at the North, aud so strengthen Lincon's
hanGs that he would be able to crush all
opposition, and trample upon the Cons
stltutional rights OF the people. Mr..
VaIland!gham said nothing to indicate
that he or the party had any other idea
,han the Union would be rec instructed
under democratic rule. The President
indorsed with his own, per on this doc.
ument, that in regard to Invasion of the
North, experience proved the contrary
OF what Mr. Vallandigham asserted.-
But Mr.. Vallandigham is for restoring
the Union, amicably, Of course, and if 1t
cannot be so done, then possibly he Is in
favor Of recognizing our independence.
He says any reconstruction which is not
voluntarily on our part would soon be
followed by another separation and a
worse war than the present one"
1t is a pity this traitor Is not arrested,
tried and punished for his treason. But
he serves as useful a purpose for the
country, perhaps in leading democratic
meetings. and making democratic plat
forms. 1t would seem that party
which had the slightest particle Of dis
cretion would caretnlIy cxpel such men
as Vallandigham from its ranks hut in

A PENNSYLvANIAN WANTED

George Williams, supposed to be
resident of Pennsylvania, was enlisted
by Captain William Kenny, of Co. B,
Sth Ohio Infantry, in June. 1861. Just
before the battle OF Gettysburg he gave
the Captain check for $50. During
that memorable engagement Wilson
was killed. The Captain Is now living
in Gle, Gland, Ohio. has the check, and
says there is some back pay and bounty
due the soldier Wilson once informed
comrade, while on picket guard that
he was born in Pennsylvania, that he
had been absent from home oyer six
years, and that his parents did not know
anything relative to his whereabouts -
Captain Kenny is desirous of sending
the check to his friends, if they can be
found.

THE EUROPEAN SITUATION.

The latest news from Europe is to the
effect that, as u dern,er resource a Con.
gress is to assemble in Paris on the 10th
inst, under the presidency of NJ
DAouYNDE ElluYs, who is NApoLnoN's
foreign minister The parties repres,
ented are to be France, England,
Prussia, Austria and Italy. The object
is to try and effect peaceful solution OF
the difficulties between the three last
named Powers, which threaten to even
tuate in immediate war, 1t is said that
should Austria not send representative
to this Congress, England and Russia
will act for her. II is not certain indeed,
that Prussia and Italy had accepted
the invitation to this Congress. If any
good come out of it, if held, we shall be
surprised. Three great European States
are in arms to carry out.

That they should take who have the power,
And they should keep who can"

mendous effect upon this country as a
matter Of course, and an effect not ems
tirely disastrous 1t would create an
immense demand for our breadstulfs, for
although these are now cheaper there
than here, yet a great war would soon
turn the tables, and, by crppling pros
duction there, call for all we could ex-
port at remuneratlng prices. Manutac>
turing industry would be powerfully
affected, which would naturally react
upon the price Of cotton.
The immediate effect of the rumors
will probably be to stimulate emigration
to this country. The working classes"
will probably prefer peace and prosper,

shot down and killed or crippled for the
glory eff their empurplel majestles and
serene highnesses there, and will be
very likely many of them, to make hay

fiery furnaces as soon as possible.
We are inclined to think that n war
in Europe, in its material effects, would
do us more good than harm. Still we

common humanity. Notwithstanding
the lowering clound, our impression is
that the chances Tor peace are at least
equal to those Of war if not superior. -

that it must become European in its

A MODEL CONSERVATIVE MAN.

at Columbus in Ohio, the other day
AS our readers know, he aud his Gown
intimate fIcnd' Pendleton, in their
speeches, hntcd at another civil war, IN
which Vallandigham hoped TO be militia

In whose interest Mr.. Vallandigham
would like to be dictator may be ga,h-
cred from the following extracts from
the "Dairy Of a Rebel War Clerk" re-
ccntlypubIi,hed, which shows how live
ly an interest he took in the success of
the rebellion, and how eager he was to
give uscful hints to Jeff Davis, when he
was sent South.
On the 9th Of May, 1868, the rebel
war clerk writes: "Vallandingham has
been sent to Shelbyville, within our lines.

On the Eth of June he writes: "a

THE DOOR Fer THE CAPITOL

The great Washington door for the
new Capitol at Washington is being
flashed at the Ames works in Chicopce,
where two entire'years have been spent
upon 1t. Many of the panncls are al
ready completed, and the work is prog
ressing as fast as its peculiar complcxity
will allow Designed by the lamented
Crawford, just previous to his death, it
was his chef dePuvre. Had he surviv-
ed undoubted the contract for casting
would have gone to Munich like Its pre-.
decessor, the Columbus, historic door,
such was his prejudice against his coun>
try III this respect.
The massive door has eight panels,
four on side, cmblematic respectively
Of peace and war. On the side devoted
to peace, commencing at the bottom, Is
a group of Washington and lis family,
representing the peaceful condition of
the country at the close ct the Reyolu-
tionary struggle Next above is the
ovation at Tfenton, then a scene repre- =
senting the admission of the oath of
Office, and crowning this section is the
layer Of the cornerstone of the Capitol
building The war side has first pans
mel symbolizing the stern ideal of deadly
strifc-a British grenadier fully armed,
attacking q peaceful farmer, near rude
log cabin whose sinewy arm has already
sent him reeling to the ground, while
the stalwart yeoman's wife is seen hand-
ing her husband his trusty frelock, in
case he should need it. Above this is
the Bayon.t charge at Trenton--th then
the Rebuke Of General Lee by Wash
ington, at Monnouth-and finally the
Death of General Warren. The pannel
representing the reprlmand of General
lee is a most striking and lif9>lilse scene,
Washington had always it seems, sus-
pected Lee of disloyalty, and on this
occasion found that he had not only
failed utterly to carry ont his express
orders, but had actually ordered and
commenced most cowardly retreat
Washington is seen as having ridden
rapidly to where he meets Lee under a
tree, and rising in the stirrups OF his sad
die, administers rebuke that droops the
traitors head as much as Lees military
salute to his chieftain has his sword
1t is said that this was the only instance
in which Washington was ever known
to use language even bordering on pro-
family. The singular thing about this
particular pannel is that JEFF Davis was
one of the commissioners to examine
Crswtord's designed for his historic and
conspicuous piece of work for the new
Capitol-the wonder, being that he, or
any other Southern man, should have
consented to emblazon this whitening
shame on one of the most chivalric sons
of the South. Yet so it is-and let the
sympathizer with his fitting representa-
tive, in the person of Robert e. Lee,
remember the prophecy of the rannel,

BEECIIER AND TILTON.

Beecher and Tilton had an amusing
skrmish lately. The Plymouth congre,-
CATION were considering the question of
raising means to erect a Congregational
church in Washington, where it is sup>
posed to be peculiarly needed. Beecher
had studiously avoided all reference to
political matters, when Tlltou being
loudly called for, entered the pulpit and
simply said that he was greatly interest,
ed in the Washington church enterprise.
and added that he had spent some time
in Washington, and with all due defer
ence to his friend Beecher, he could say
that he had heard just as good preaching
in that benighted city as he ever had in
Brooklyn, and what was more, the
Washington sermons were a great deal
Sounder in a political way than the recent
utterances Of Plymouth pulpit, Tuis
ended Tilton's speech, whereupon he
goodhumoredly gave the Rev. Beechcr
tremendous slap on the knee, and in
return the Plymouth pastor boyishly but
vigorously pushed the editorial Tilton
out OF the pulpit, while the large audi
ence was convulsed. with laughter at the
