MORE TALK OF A EUROPEAN War;
Whenever the American papers grow a
little dull and news begins to flag, they re-
gale the public with the probabilities of a
European war. Austria is burning to
wipe out the stain of Sadowa, and the time
is ripe for so doing, for the little German
Principalities absorbed by Prussia are filed
with discomfort and sorely feel the press
ure of the screws of consolidation; and
Napoleon is anxious to enlarge the bound
aries of France and extend them to the
Rhine, and has some unpleasant reflections
in reference to the detcsted treaties of
1915. We have heard these things ever
since the clash of arms on the plains Of
Sadowa, but the peace of Europe is main
tanned. 1t is a good subject, however,
for newspaper article, as the people
love to r3ad of ways and rumors of wars, as
it stirs their blood

From WASHINGTON. Runners of con-
templated Cabinet changes are again aAoat,
A dispatch dated May 10th, says:-
l have trustworthy and intelligent au-
thority for saying that the Cabinet of
President Grant is not a unit upon any
question of craftsmanship or administra-
ton, and that thorough reorganization
may be expected shortly.
The Washington correspondence of the
Baltimore Sun, says under date of May
18th =
1t is represented on good authority that
the question of recognizing the indepen-
dence of Cuba formed the prominent
theme of discussion at the cabinet meeting
this afternoon, and that majority of mem
bers took strong grounds in favor of aid
ing the Cubans. On the other hand, it
is claimed that the government is in re-
ceipt of information from reliable sources
that the Cuban insurgents are not making
any headway, and that but little remains
of Cuban forces but detached parties ac-
ting as guerillas. This kind of warfare,
it is said, may last for some time, but the
Spanish army expect to put an end to the
insurrection in short time. This infor-
nation does not come from the Spanish
side, but through an agent of our gov
ernment in Cuba, who has been a close
observer of affairs in the island. 1t is also
said that the opinion was expressed by q
high official of the House of Representa-
tives that the recognition of the provis.
ional government of Cuba was only Q
question of time, and that but few weeks
more would pass before de .tacto gov
ernment would be established by the Gu.
bans and duly recognized by the United
States government.
The order of President Grant to the
war and navy officials authorizing them tc
sell war material to any parties desiring tc
purchase is being taken advantage of, ant
quite number of applications have beer
made recently to buy cannon and ammu
milton of various kinds. No questions
are asked by the officials, and the gov.
ernment does not know what use is being
made of material purchased.

TIE PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-The country
is rejoicing over what is regarded as one
of the grandest of human undertakings
the completion of the great Pacific rail-
road. This was accomplished at noon on
Monday, by the junction of the Union
Pacific with the Central Pacific Railroad,
at Promontory Point, Utah Territory,
The Union Pacific commenced at San
Francisco, and the Central Pacific at
Omaha, the two uniting at the point above
named. The entire continent is thus
spanned by an iron band, making a con-
tinuous line of railroad of upwards of
three thou ID miles from New York to
San Francisco. Since the laying of the
Atlantic Cable no greater event has hap
pened in this country. Tt is great not
merely as a feat of national enterprise, but
in its political bearing upon the nation.
AS the Rev. DR.. Vinton said in his ad-
dress in old Trinity Church, New York,
:" it will preserve the Union of these
States. 1t will populate our vast territory
and be the great highway of the nations"
Jubllant. demonstrations were held in
all the large cities of tho Union over the
great evcht. Salutes were fired, bells
rung and flags displayed. Special SER
Woes were held in Trinity Church, New
York, the Independence Hall bell was
rung in Philadelphia, and great i'm
promptu parade took place in Chicago,
where Vice President Colfax made a
speech. At Promontory Point, when the
last spike was driven prayers wore said
and speeches of congratulation delivered.
A signal was made by the telegraph as
each blow was given to the spike, and
when the work was completed the word
Done" was flashed through the whole
country, simultaneously. The event was
celebrated at the same time in different
cities of the Union.

BACKING DowN.-After Mr.. Summers
speech, the rejection of the Alabama Trca-
ty, and the bellicose rant of Mr.. Chand-
Ter, we are told that Mr.. Motley is to pur-
sue course of "mastcrly inactivity" in
reference to the Alabama claims, and san
nothing upon the subject! when he arrives
at the Court of St. James. 1t would have
been wiser course to have said nothing
in the beginning 1t is to be feared that
we shall become laughing stock for the
world, by such bungling management. 1t
was not so, under the administration Of
"Old Hickory" who gave the world to
understand that this government "would
ask nothing but what was right, and sub
init to nothing wrong" And Louis Phil.
lippe was made to pay our French claims
through the firm attitude taken and main.
tanned by the noble old hero.

EUROPE AND AMERIcA.-It was an
nounced by cable telegram, on Tuesday,
that the governments of England, France
and Spain had initiated the formation of
an alliance, offensive and defensive, against
the United States-a step whose consum-
nation is claimed to be demanded by the
attitude of the United States in respect to
the Alabama claims and the acquisition of
Cuba. But little Importance was attached
to the announcement, as it was supposed
to be a trick of spectators in gold or
bonds, or both, and only one New York
journal (the Tribune) published it. But,
if it should turn out to be true, what then ?
Should we alter our course, or go on, and
brave the power of this formidable COM
bination. What we should do, depends
upon another query: Have We, as ma
ton, put ourselves in wrong position,
or in the right? If in the right, defend
it, though the world be in arms against us.

FRUIT IN DELAwARE.-The peach crop
in this State promises to be an abundant
one. If no disaster should befall it, the
opinion obtains that the yield will be fully
two millions of baskets. Mr.. Brown,
freight agent of the Delaware Railroad
estimates the number of trees in bearing al
1000, 500, and the number Of baskets
this season at / 1863, 1870. He also esti-
mates that there are over 446 acres OF
strawberries in this State, and that the
yield, this year will not be less than

steamship Henry Chauncey, which arrived
at New York on Saturday, brings the sad
intelligence that Mr.. James II. McColley
the American consul at Callao, died of vel
low fever at Lima on April 18th. Mr.
McColley was a native of this State, a son
of Rev. Trusten p. McColley, of Milford,
and brother-in-law of the Hon. George
p Fisher, of Washington. He has been
consul at Callao for some years, and, it is
said, had proved most valuable and eff.

Correspondence @fMe Mddleomn Transcript.
Fort WAYNE, IND. May I, 1869.
Mr.. VANDERFoRD, Dear ,Sir Think
ing a few lines from this section of the
country would be acceptable, l thought
would endeavor to give you brief de-
scription of this portion of the great West.
The country around this city is very low
covered with dense woods and vast tracts
of prairie land, about two thirds Of which
are covered with water greater portion
of the year, while in the Southern part
the farmers can compete with those of the
Diamond State. Chicago, our great me-
tropolis, yesterday celebrated the COM
pletion of the " National job" (alias
the Union Pacific Railroad, by grand
procession. The Hon. Jessie l.. Will
lams, director of the road from this
city, in his report, speaking of the "shod-
dy" says: =" From Bryan to Echo, with
the exception of about ten miles the track
is laid on bed of alkal clay, which is
liable to wash away, and until this is bal
lasted the road will be decidedly unsafe to
run trains over at any rate of speed from
Bryan to Wahsatch, the track is from
four to six feet below grade and is laid on
frozen clods, without any ballast. Of
course this cannot be considered pcrma-
nent road-bcd, Notwithstanding the fact ii

ports concerning the failure of the peach
crop in Delaware, and the growers in the
southern part of the State feel quite ella.
ted over the reported failures. q.
But | must not close without saving
something Of the future of this city We
have population of twenty five thousand
last two years. Fort Wayne is destined
to be the largest city in the state in the
next two years, and with prctensions to
rival Chicago at some future day. The
Pittsburg Fort Wayne and. Chicago r. r
the Toledo, Wabash and Great Western
the Fort Wayne, jackson and Saginaw
the Fort Wayne and Richmond and For
Wayne, Munci and Cincinnati Railroad
all have Fort Wayne az their centre point
with line of railroads of four thousapC
miles. The first two are completed ant
in full tide of success with all of thei
machine shops here. The last four arr
under contract, and will be completed b,
the last of the year. The country folk
away out on the plains seem very anxiou
to see the Iron Horse. But they want t.
see the show before they are willing t.
pay. Yet, I think, if an engine shoulc
come whistling over this portion of tn,
Prairie, a majority of the inhabitants woul,
take it for granted that it was Bcelzebut
in harness, though they would be to-
lazy to go out and see.
