= Europe.
We extract the following from the
correspondence of the New York
Europe.

correspondence OF. the New York
Times: 3. "
The European news is sulphurous.
Holland, despairing of keeping Lux
embourg from Prussia, has ceded it
to France. By o treaty no longer
secret, but published simultaneously
ut Munich and Berlin, the military
union of Germany is completed. The
German Empire is substantially con-
stitnted. Tho conquered provinces
OF Prussia suffer under no disabilities.
On the contrary, everything is done
Tor conciliation. Even Turkey is
doing all it can to satisfy its discon-
tented provinces, and the British
Goyernment will do anything for the
Pacification Of Ireland, except grant
ing the one thing which the Fenians
demand-independence-the absurd
requirement. of being let alone.
Another version of the Luxembourg
rumor is that its people some 25O..
600 in number-are to be allowed To
decide by vote, whether they will be
annexed to France or Prussia, which
they pretend is much as if the chick
ems were invited to vote on the aues-
ton whether they be boiled or roast
ed. 1t is q matter of taste, and
chickens md Luxembourgers NAV
have a preference.
The evident uneasiness of France.
the enlargement of the French army,
the entire re.arming of the fleet with
new artillery, with which they boast
that they can set at defiance all moni-
tors, past, present and to come-the
prospect Of Western European mill
tary confederation against Germany
and Russia, have induced the British
Government to increase its naval and
military estimates by about $40, ,OOO,-
600, bringing them up to the round
sum of$130, 600, OO0-a formidable ex-
penditure for peace, and not enough,
perhaps, for war. The English
believe that they have at last got guns
equal to the best, if not the very best
in the world, and armor plates that
will resist all guns but their own.
The next point is to br:ld ships
so strong that nothing can take or
destroy them, and SO fast that they
can always overtake weaker antago-
mist, and run away from n stronger.
Only one thing more is required Ito
have ships that, when other means OF
safety are wanting, can sink below
the surface. OF course, similar ves-
sells could follow them-but the one
that wished to escape could cuttle-
fish. and by that means have de-
cided advantage. A few barrels OF
ink would be as good as o fog to q
submerged and hard pressed cruiser.

REMOVAL OF DIsAB11IT1Es.-For
ney's Chronicle has the following
paragraph:
Numerous applications have been
made to Congress for the passage of
laws relieving certain of the leading
politicians of the South who took part
in the rebellion, in order that they
may more efficiently las they say) sup
port the reconstruction Act Of Con-
gress. Thus far, very properly, no ia
vorable response has been made to this
application, and we think we speak
the sentiments of many of the lead
ing men in Congress when we say
that this course will be persevered
in until the persons who ask to be
relieved from the disabilities incurred
by their treason shall prove by their
conduct that they are entitled to such
magnanimity. The emomentsuch pppof
is made clear we have no doubt the
action desired will follow. Why it
should bo insisted upon without
such evidence passes our comprehen-
sion. The ex-Confederate chieftain
who is really anxious to exhibit his
AAUSAASJ W chO SouhtiJ hIO ILLS WILL
ingness to assist in carrying out the
acts of Congress can make himself far
more influential by proclaiming that
he Is not speaking for himself; that
he accepts the penalties incurred by
his rebellion; but that he advises MI
others to obey the law and to fulfill
the conditions Of Congress. Such
an example would change the in
difference of thousands into enthu-
siasn,, and would especially endear the
man who sets it to his own people and
to the Government itself. We have
before us now letter from leading
Confederate" which breathes the
right spirit. He advises a certain
course, and says: II have, of course,
no personal interest in the question,
since I am manifestly within the ex-
cluded class myself, and do not deem
my exclusion q hardship in view of
my past folly, not to say crime"

Horace Greeley gets off good
thing now and then. In lecture
recently delivered on "Advertisiug,"
he said: ''Some men who know
enough to advertise, are yet SO nar-
row-minded as toconfne their adver-
tisements to journals of their own
creed and party. If they do not
choose to trade with any but men of
like faith, this is wise; but il they
desire the whole public for custom
ers, it is otherwise"

o. Dispatch, of the 9th, says:
The schooner United States smiled
yesterday for Venezuela with a cargo
OF about fifteen living souls, destined
to settle "for better, for worse" in
that yet untried land. The scheme
did not prove popular here, and n
number Of those who were induced
to venture their lives were poor
miserable creatures who had worn
threadbare in this country, and could
not be much worse off anywhere. An
equal proportion were reckless, dis
sipated adventurers. some of whom
are happy riddances. There were
only n few well-to-do, intelligent
looking people in the party.

Rev. DIR. Wilson, in o letter to the
Rev. James Woodrow, of the Theo-
logical Seminary, in this city, gives
ON account of his recent visit to Balti-
more, to solicit aid in behalf of des.
titute Presbyterian Churches in the
South. He bears testimony to the
fact that the citizens OF all religious
denominations have freely and
literally contributed in hid of the
suffering people of the Seth and
their destitute churches. We quote
from his letter the following:
A. public meeting was called ut the
Rev. DR.. Bullook's g church, soon after
my arrival, to which were invited all
who felt an interest in the condition
and welfare of tho Southern church.
The evening was unfavorable. but
the attendance nevertheless was
good, embracing q number of persons
from all the principal churches. After
a general statement by myself of the
condition and wants OF our church,
the meeting was organized, and
effective addresses were made by
George NJ. Gill, Esq. chairman, and
by DIR. Bullock and Mr.. Lefevre.
A committee of twenty-five or
thirty persons was appointed to
solicit contributions for this object.
The committee signalized their in
terest in the cause by raising among
themselves the first night of their
meeting 1000. Their work has not
yet been completed, but it is under
stood they have collected something
like $4,000. This does not include,
except to limited extent, what is
being done by DIR. Backus' church.
which, I understand, prefers to act
by itself.
DIR. Bullock. Mr.. Lefevre, George
M. Gill, and j. Harmon Brown have
been specially active in this good
work. and they, as we'll as others who
have been scarcely less active, deserve
the heartfelt gratitude of our whole
church. It is no breach of confidence
for me to state that Mrs. George
Brown. without any. solicitation,
gave 81 900 to this fund, besides $500
to other objects of benevolence Mt
the South. Our Christian people
ought to know. too, that it was this
same Christian lady who recently
gave $4,000 for the re-endowment of
our seminary at Columbia, after
having given like sum to the Union
Seminary in Virginia. Her name de-
serves TO be embalmed in the CRATE
ful and affectionate remembrance of
our people.

representing the railroads between
Kingsville and New York, was held
in that city, last week. They adopt
ed new schedule from New York to

PUBLICATION RESUMED. a
suspension of more than week,
lowing to untownrd circumstances
we are informed by the proprietor
that he will Immediately resume the
publication of the South Cdrolinia,,.
In connection with the above an
nouncement. we publish the follow

late employees of the Caro1inian:
COLUMBIA, 8. c., April 10, 1867.
To THE PUBLIo: We. the under
signed, late employees in the Caro-
hnion Office, beg leave to make the
following statement in reference to
the document published in the Caro-
hnidn, OF yesterday, and which had
been previously signed by ourselves:
A short time after the Strike alluded
to in the aforementioned paper, we
were requested and urged to give our
signatures to an instrument, which.
we were assured, was not designed
for publication, but merely to pro-
tect Mr.. f. G. de Fontaine from in
curing the penalty for the untimely
delivery OF the State work, which he
would have made himself liable to.
could he not have shown, satisfacto-
rily, that the delay was not the result
OF neglect, but Of an untoward acci-
dent. With motive of charity ao-
tuating us, we appended our sigma
lures, without analyzing the character
OF the document as to its bearing on
ourselves or others, accepting the
statement made in reference TO it as
given in good faith. In this, it was
far from our purpose to asperse the
character and operations of the Typo
graphical Union, for from motives
which cannot be fully appreciated by
those not members Of the organiza-
ton, they took the action which they
did in the premises. And, 80 far from
this society desiring to iniure any
one, it is its chief end TO protect both
employer and employed from unjusts
encroachments g

TIE MILITARY RECONSTRUCTION BILL
The Albany E0ening Journal, in an article on
the military reconstruction bill, says:
ssThis is righteous programme. Its ne
cessitv has been amply demonstrated by a
prolonged experience of tenacious and I'M
Welding bitterness on the part Of those who
have been in rebellion, and who still exhibit
on every occasion the same spirit which
prompted them to take up arms against the
| Government The experiment Gas Presl-
dent johnson called it) of civil governments
controlled by the traditional Southern leaders
has failed 1t is apparent that under this
system there can be no permanent reconstruc-
ton. and no security for the rights of Union
lists. During truce-the length OF which
will be determined by their own conduct
the Southern States must be held under mill
| tary domination. The law of the bayonet is
a hard alternative, but it sometimes becomes
an unacceptable one. Order enforced by au-
thority is preferable to anarchy created by
loose and irresponsible agencies. 1t is bet
ter to incur all the expense and trouble OF
governing the South during period-if the
end is to be peace and submission-than to
protract indefinitely the turbulent and mis-
cbieyous condition of affairs which now ex-
lists. For these reasons we have believed it
necessary to provide for the continuance OF
martial law in some respects throughout the
unrepresented States. And for these reasons
we are heartily rejoiced by the action of the
House yesterday, which we hope will be
speedily concurred in by the Senate"

IFrom the New York Evening Gazette !

MANUFACTURE OF BANK NoTEs-In one
thing at least, the Americans have outstrip-
ped the rest of the world, and that is in the
manufacture of paper money. The artistic
and mechanical skill which is lavished upon
our bank notes, exceeds that of any other
country on the face of the globe-the bank
notes of England and France are rude in
comparison. Strange as it may seem, the
finest and best steel engraving is done in the
city Of New York, and for specimens ex-
hibited the American Bank Note Company
took the first premium at the Worlds Fair,
held in London. AS a reward for their fri
umph of skill and art, it may almost be said
with truth that the city of New York, through
TINS one establishment, furnishes the whole
world with her bank notes. Greece, ItaIy.
Russia and the British Provinces. Brazil
Nicaragua, and the South American Repub,
hes, too numerous to mention, with Mexico
and the United States, send their orders to
this establishment, receiving in return money
which commends itself for its exceedin1
beauty. The Italian order for money!, neIf
to that of the United States, is the LARGEST
one ever executed. Some idea of its size NAV
be formed when it is stated that one hundred
and twenty thousand sheets, containing
twenty-five notes each, are sent off each
week '~''

To the Editor Of tie N. Y. Tribune.

To the Editor Of tie ~. 7. Tribune.
SIR Can my voice, through the Tribune,
avail to warn honest American mechanics
and laborers against blind emigration to
Brazil? Each steamer brings from 100 to
800 deceived men and women, the greater
part of whom arc miserable and begging for
help in less than two days. There is room
for associated labor colony will do well
here if judiciously managed. But the soil
tary mechanic or laborer whatever his skill
may be, cannot, SO long as he is a stranger,
complete with the cheap slaves and cheaper
working-m men who do the shabby work CT
Brazilian trades. I have seen many
weeping wives and mothers, and
gloomy men, dragging through these
streets, appealing piteously to every Ameri-
can passer-by for work, and telling the same
tale of disappointed expectations. Our con-
sui is overrun by them. Every American
store is full of them. They enlist on our
mcn-of-war as landsmen and boys-good,
skillful mechanics serving for the pittance,
pay and rations of navy greenhorns. For
organized emigration, 1 repeat, Brazil offers
many inducements. But any poor man is
wretchedly fooled who leaves the States ex-
pecting to do better on his own hook in Bra
iii. Use this testimony as you will, for am
grieved to see so much disappointment and
suffering.
Yours, respectfully,
THOMAS K. BEECHER.

RALEIGH. ~. G.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY &c, 1867.
The Recommendation B,ll,

| We publish to-day the bill which has just
passed Congress to reconstruct the Southern
| States.
This measure is the result of long and
! anxious deliberation on the part of Con
| gress 1t was not to be expected that any
measure of the kind would do equal and
exact Justice to every class, or would give
satisfaction to every one. Congress has ac-
ted for the present, very properly reserving
to itself the right to modify, supersede or
abolish as it may see fit in the future; and
for one, we chcerfully accept the action of
that body, and will go to work to give effect
to the measure in this State. Let our loyal
people with one accord rise up, put them
selves in proper condition under this act,
and return to the Union. There is no doubt,
we presume, that the bill will become law.
The President is expected to veto it this
week, and as soon as it is returned to Con-
gress it will be passed over the veto by a
two-thirds vote.
We postpone any extended comments or
explanations of the bill until it becomes
law.
Many of our people have been looking
anxiously for final action by Congress. We
have heard the remark on all hands, and es-
pecially in secession quarters that Congress
ought to propose a fnality, and that the
States ought to know in advance that when
they should comply in good faith with GER
tain terms, they would be entitled to return
to the Union. This has been done by this
bill. The terms are plainly laid down, and
the pledge is made that when they are COM
piled with the States shall be restored. Thus
a very important point is settled. There is
no room now for doubt or cavil. Those who
really desire to return to the Union have but
to accept the terms in good faith, and restor-
alton is certain. Congress may modify or
abolish any thing that may be set up in hos
tlity to the spirit and purposes of the act,
but it could not, if it would, withdraw its
solemn pledge that the rebel States may re-
turn to their places in the Union whenever
they shall have accepted in good faith and
complied with the terms of the act.
We rejoice that there is to be an end to
rebel rule. We rejoice that the day is not
distant when the affairs of our people will
be placed in loyal hands. The long night of
misrue and oppression is departing, to be
succeeded by a day of peace and prosperity
under just and equal laws.

IMPORTANT, IF TRUE.-The New York
Times publishes the following discovery In
regard to the cholera:
Duringthe late prevalence of cholera at
Vienna. one DR.. Kolb, prominent physi-
clan of that city, subjected the rice-water
discharges of his patients to microscopic ex-
animation. He has now published the re-
suits of his researches, and they are truly re-
markable and we'll worthy the closest atten-
ton and scrutiny of the medical faculty
He says that with the greatest nasnifying
power he could procure, he discovered Ill the
fluid substance millions upon millions OF
mushroom-like entomistic excrescences, i'll
which he claims to have found the germ OF
this fearful epidemic. To detect remedy
capable of destroying these mushrooms"
and preventing their growth, he thinks
would be the surest specific against the
spread of cholera. He had communicated
his discovery to Dr.. Max Pettenkofer, OF
Munich, but this distinguished authority on
epidemics and dlsinfectants has not as yet-
to our knowledge, given any opinion upon it.

A Nut FOR THE NATURALIsTs.-The ed
itor of the Scottsville Va.,) Register says
that about week ago, as he was walking
to Charlottesville, he saw what he thought
to be snake-track in the snow, which was
then some six inches deep. Recollecting,
however, that the natural histories say that
snakes do not crawl in cold weather, he only
mentioned the circumstances to one friend,
who laughed at him hartily. But in the
last three weeks four snakes-one striped and
three black-were killed on farm three
miles from Scottsville. One was in the
spring, one near it, and the other two-one
of which was black snake of the largest
size-were crawling over the snow. All of
them showed fight.
