THEY HAVE NO CLAIM ON OUR syNrpATHIEs.


OF course, in this selfish strife between Sultan
and King and Gar, we look on indiiferently,
viewing it as simply the devilsown game of chess
What is tito us il William wins to-day and Alexan-
der tomorrow? If this weak and timid Moham-
medan is trampled underfeet by the armies of
the Giour? The Kings of Europe have long
dreaded Russia. Since the defeat of Napoleon
and the destruction of his empire, Russia has
been menace and warning for small nationa-
tiles. Its system is only the system Of Bonaparte
and Hohenzollern and Hapsburg-power based
upon force, government by divine right, utter
disregard of nationalities or boundaries, the
sacred character of treaties and the rights Of the
people, dominion by strength, absolute conquest
by the terrible and bloody right of war. And if,
in this gaudy and dissolute age, with its vast
achievements in science and Christianity and
peace, it is we'll that armed Prussia should
oyerrun the fairest field of France, and train its
batteries upon republic struggling for life and
recognition in the great capital of enlightenment
and progress if It is well that this beautiful
Paris, with its monuments and great renown,
should be given over to disease and starvation
and destruction because its people will be free
without dishonor, then why, by all that is royal
and despotic, should not Russia put her sword
through treaties and nationalities and take pos.
session of Constantnople?

How the German wersingmcn Feel, on the
Wnr.


The London Times says gentleman has just
returned from visit to Germany and the Rhine
frontier, where he had gone for the purpose of
ascertaining the effects and influence of the war
upon the working classes and their homes and
occupations. He states, as one result Of his in-
quiries, that up to the capture of the Emperor
and the advent of the Republic in France the
working mon of Germany generally were ready
to make any sacrifice for the vigorous prosecu-
ton of the war, but that now they are almost
unanimously of opinion that enough has been
done to vindicate the honor and secure the safety
of Fatherland, and are in favor of a cessation of
the war and return of the army as soon an
peace can be concluded. They are entirely OPP
posed to the attack on Paris, or to fight against
the French Replblic, and strongly protest
against any attempt on the part of the King of
Prussia to annex any portion of French territory.
The German Republicans who are very nume-
rous and strong in all the large towns, are or
ganizing united movement for calling upon
the King of Prussia to conclude at once an hon
orable peace with the French Republican Gov
ernment, and to disclaim all idea Of the annexa.
ton of either Alsace or Lorraine. The council
of the International Workmen's Association in
London have also received letters from theil
branches in Germany expressing the same views

Captain Charles S. Hell, of this county, the
distinguished Union scout, during the war, and
the hero of many perious adventures in Texas,
since the war closed, is preparing second
series of papers embodying his adventures, for
tho New York Ledger. Those heretofore pub
lislsl have attracted large share of attention
to their author, and Captain Bell now proposes,
as we learn, to prepare one or two lectures, to
be delivered during the winter, on subjects such
az are now familiar to him, after his wild expe-
renccs of the last nine years. We are not All
thorized to say so, but we infer that these will
include his experience as scout, with some ref
ercnce to the methods used in all ages to pro-
cure military information; and the wild life OF a
border detective of criminals, with some infor-
nation as to '.How Detective works up Case. p"
Captain Bell is a pleasing as well as gallant gem
teman; we think we can safely predict him sue
cess on the platform, such as he has won in the
sanctnm, and in the saddle.

prevail in Germany..in regard to the question of
