that Congress viii resolutely take

Of Stanton and Shcridan-the former
wholly unlawful and the latter highly

PIERCE REDlvIvUs.-General Franklin Peirce
has left his home in the distant East, and has
arrived at Baltimore, ON his way to visit Jeffer-
son Davis. With one exception, this is the
only time we have heard of his redoubtable
Excellency since the nation was left distracted
by his retirement from the Presidential chair.
The career of the great Peirce is one which
illustrates that we are indeed creatures of
accident. Nobody dreamed of Pierce for
President until he was nominated, and then,
after temporary rise above his level, he was
once more sent into his native ob5curity
The silence of his life was broken by the
writing of a letter in 1861, which richly
merited hanging for its author. And now, once
more, like a comet, he appears after periodi-
cal absence of five years. and goes to visit JEFF
ferson Davis, after which he will once more
vanish for five years more.

the other hand, the Prussians are elated and
intoxicated with their great success in the
Austrian war, and their subsequent consoli-
dation OF the powers of Northern
Germany into one great kingdom, and
are disposed to resist any outside interference
or questioning of their present status, or of
their future development. Moreover, they
have an ancient hostility to France, coming
down from the days of the great Napoleon.
which only needs fitting occasion TO break
out in acts of war. With such a state of feel
ing prevailing between the people of the two
countries, a great war would only seem to be
question of time. Yet all Europe is in such
condition, that war between Prussia and
France would more or less involve the other
powers. We do not wonder, therefore, that
the rulers hesitate to light that fearful flame
which, once kindled may burn so fiercely and
disastrously, and may be so difficult to extin-
guish War is every day becoming more and
more expensive. Most of the European nations
are already struggling under loads of debt too
heavy to be carried. A general war of any
great duration would precipitate several of the
great powers into irretrievable bankruptcy.
There are, therefore, strong influences tending
to the preservation of peace Let us hope that
they may, after all, prove to be the more
powerful.

THE FIRST CHURCH OF THE SEMINOLEs.-The
Presbyterian mission among the Creeks and
Seminoles in the Indian Territory was broken
up when Albert Pike misled those poor peO-
pie into rebellion. Since those who are left
have returned to their homes, the missiOna-
ries have resumed their work Il has been
deemed advisable now to organize the Christian
Seminoles into a separate Church. Mr.. Ram
sey, the missionary, reports sixty-six mem
bers already gathered in, with nearly as many
more who were prevented by distance and
severe weather from attending his meeting.
Describing the transition, he says
at was to our mind a strong evidence of
the reality and power of our blessed religion,
to see men who were once fierce savages, whom
the strong arm of Government could not drive
from their favorite haunts in the swamps of
Florida now subdued by the victorious Cross,
sitting weeping at the feet of the Prince of
Peace. The greater part of the noted Billy
Bowlegs band are now members of our
| church. Sermon being over, we proceeded to
| baptize the candidates for church membership,
| twenty four in number, and five infants 1t was
| an interesting sight, which will not soon be
| forgotten at the Seminole Agency. We then
proceeded to administer the Lords Supper, of
which nearly one hundred persons partook
as many Methodists and some Baptist brethren
| sat down with u.s."

DULLNEss PREV ALENT IN THE WBsT.-Re-
ports that come to us from the Western coun-
try indicate condition in the business world
most threatening. There exists universal
distress in all the branches of trade. The
heavy overflow of the Mississippi has caused
the destruction of millions upon millions of
property, and has interfered with the river
trade, thus cutting the artery which supplies
the business life-blood to the West. Prices
are high, confidence does not. exist, and un-
less something occurs to give life to trade, the
papers of the West say they dare not specu-
late on what will be the consequences. Com
pared with theirs our condition is healthy,
and while we repine at our own lot, we ought
not to despair, for by comparison trade is
lively in our city.
