"EVERY MANS HOUSE HIS
CASTLE The following is
Lord Chatham's brilliant illus
tration of the celebrated max
i'm in English law, that every
mans house is his cattle -
"The poorest man may, in
his cottage, bid the defiance to
all the forces of the crown. 1t
may be frail; its roof may shake;
the wind may blow through it
the storm may enter-but the
King of England cannot enter!
all his forces dare not cross the

Wars ana Rumors Of Wars.

Let us not, dear reader, be too
credulous ofthe prospects of peace.
There were few who were willing
to believe that the Spanish throne
question would be pushed to the
point OF rupture between the
great powers of France and Ger
many. Even the London money
dealers, a class proverbially timid
aud scary, refused to believe it.
They failed to appreciate the mag
nitude of the real causes operating
to bring on war, and were deceiv-
ed by the trivial character of the
immediate point of controversy.
So few now really believe that
all Europe is to fame with war
upon the Black Sea stipulations
ofthe Paris treaty of 1856. They
fail (as it seems to u.s. to take
into account the full magnitude of
the causes operating upon Russia
to insist upon the removal of
these humiliating restrictions, and
at the same time the gigantic
British interests involved in the
maintenance of the treaty.
We have no space or leisure to
dwell upon eiteer view of the sub
ject. 1t is sufficient to say that
the vital interests and traditional
ambition of both these great pow
ers clash upon this single issue,
and grapple with each other in a
death struggle; and on the part of
Russia, ages have not presented
so favorable a juncture for the re-
alization of all her dreams of
wealth, prestige and power as now
occurs. And the completion Of
the Suez Canal adds new stimi-
lus to her ambition for the attain
ment Of Mediterranean ports.
So, too, it is not to be disguised
that the real interests of civiliza
ton are with Russia, in this bust
ness. Constantlnople, in the
hands Of Christian power, is
properly the grand center of trade
and civilization, and would soon
become the great mart of Elk
change between the Eastern and
| Western World. The semi ,barba-
rious Turk stands in the way of
progress, and must be pushed
aside. So we nave this curious
phase of affairs in this contr0ver-
sy-that the Cossack is the cham
pion OF civilization, while British
interests in the Indies have bound
| her to the cause of the Turk and
effete barbarism, and she has had
the art by treaty to subordinate
Christian Europe to her support
of Ottoman power.
Who fails to see that here is no
ordinary caSus beIk; and if war
fails for the moment it is only
postponed? It must come soon
very scotland might as well
come now as a little later. Nei-
Their party is going to give up, IN
til they have tried their sword,
and if Russia loses the verdict.
she will not give up then, no more
than the treaty following the Cri-
mean war, forced her for a time,
to forego the pursuit of this grand
national scheme of power and
glory, which she has cherished
for centuries. She will never give
it up, and she has never had such
a time to press it as now.
What is the use, then, of talk
ing, or thinking our plans upon
a European peace We don't
say it may not be preserved for a
time; but doubt it. But if war is

Our contemporary of the Picay-
une, i'll deprecating the exorbitant
rates Of freight demanded by the
shipping in that port, appears to
have tread upon somebody's cornS,
who resent the injury and insult
by publishing a resolution to with
draw their patronage. We hope
the long established character of
that able journal, and its honest
advocacy of the commercial integ
rity of New Orleans will enable it
to successfully tide over threaten
ed ruin. This but illustrates the
responsible and disagreeable posi-
ton of the editor of a newspaper.
He is constantly liable to give Of
fence, to touch some ones person
al vanity or amor mamma, when
nothing of the kind is intended.
And should he assume the diff
cult and dangerous role of censor
of public morals, he MORALLY of.
tends individuals and gains no
particular favor with the public
at large; yet, as the conductor OF
a journal, he is expected to do all
this, and much more South.

MANUFACTURERS OF p1rrsnrtpo.

MANUFACTURES OF PITTsBURG.
The results of the enormous mo-
tive-power Of Pittsburg, Pa, arc
exhibited in a manufacturing III
dustry of magnificent proportions.
The iron mills embrace 524 boiling
furnaces, 172 heating furnaces,
6lO nail, tack, and spike machines,
SO steam hammers, and 1916 steam
engines. The production of the
past year was s2O,OOO,OOO. Pitts
burg furnishes 38 per cent. of
American iron, IS per cent. of our
steel, and 46 per cent of our glass.
The latter embraces go factories,
producing annually 100000 bot
ties, 100000 boxes of window
glass, 10000 tons of glassware,
worth 100000. The grand to-
tai of manufacturing interests
show an invested capital of $780,
100000, and an annual product of
$4,000,
The poultry crop in the West
and North is represented to be
enormous. In st. Louis one dol.
lar and fifty cents per dozen has
been the ruling rate for live chick
ems, and, indeed, they went beg
ging at that price. On Thanks
giving-day, and a few days after
wards, tons Of dressed turkeys,
chickens, ducks, geese, &C., spoil
ed on the hands of dealers and
had to be thrown away. The
quantity carried over" Thanks
giving Day in New York was also
immense, estimated at three hun
dred tons, sixty tons being left on
the hands Of one dealer. And
the impression of trade was that
the supply still in the country to
go forward was larger than it has
been for many seasons.
All this is in remarkable con
traSt with the state of the poultry
market with us. We doubt if q
fine turkey can be bought foI
Christmas at less than two dol
lars, and seventy-five cents per
dozen for eggs will be the mini
mum. Why is this thus Can
not Southern hens be educated up
to the laying capacity of North
cru ones, or are Southern house
wives too indolent to teach them?

st. Louis is again in the field
for business from Camden. An
enterprising drummer from that
city was in our town this week.
He brags that he has forty-five
customers in South Arkansas,
fourteen of them in Camden, but
he don't advertise, and finds the
hotel and livery stable bills so
high that he camps out under an
oak tree. We recommend our
merchants not to buy from him.

The Closing scene.


An attempt was made in the closing
hours of the Legislature, to re>enact
the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions
of '98-9. They are eight in number,
and show unmiStakably the real paliti-
cal principles of the Oregon Democracy.
They passed the Senate, and received
twenty two Democratic votes in the
House, which, being less than major
ity, they failed to pass but they went
too far for the leaders now 70 undertake
to go back on them. Hundreds of
Democrats in Oregon and elsewhere do
not endorse them they cmbody and
endorse the very principle upon which
the South claimed the right to peacably
secede. II the principle be right now.

Buchanan said. there is no power under
the Constitution to cocrce State, when
