away from the polls and advise others to do
so, deeming it better to let the Radicals have
it their own way than to fight for mere

THE WAR IN EUROPE.
Interesting summary OF News.


The Baltimore San of Thursday furnishes
the following summary OF the latest news
from the seat of the present European war |:
The exultaton in Paris at the prospect of
the failure of the Crown Prince to reach the
new theatre of war in the Valley of Argoune
proves to have been based upon vain and
visionary hope. King William announces
his arrival on the field with three corps Of
Prussian and one of Bavarian troops-about
tory over Mcmahon. resulting in the capture
of twelve guns and several thousands OF pris-
oners, and tie retreat of the French across
the Meuse.
An unofficial report from Buzancy locates
the battle near Beaumont, 10 the department
of the Nord, evidently on the right Of the
French line, and the date of its occurrence
Tuesday. The extent of the field Of opera
tons is said to have precluded the possibility
of obtaining particulars of the engagement,
but in view Of the fact that previous reports
had already located large proportion of the
French army east of the Meuse, along the
Belgian frontier, it is not probable that any
decisive results have been gained. But the
fact remains that the Crown Prince is on the
field, and that his appearance has been sig
naized by triumph.
The Crown Prince, who was on the march
to Paris, by way of the Valley of the Aube,
when diverted to the northeast, has three
Prussian and two Bavarian corps; the Prince
Royal of Saxony, who was advancing at the
same time by way of Chalons, commands
four divisions; the army of Prince Frederick
Charles consists of four corps, and is now
presumed to be in front of Mcmahon, while
the army of General Steinmetz, supposed to
be around Metz, consists of three corps. AS
sun,ing each army to have been recruited to
its full standard, according to Prussan regula-
tions, this would make the aggregate strength
Of the German forces $4,000. The failure
Of the Crown Prince and the Prince Royal to
unite with Prince Charles in time would have
left the French Generals with some 1870, 900
less to cope with: The effective strength Of
the French is variously estimated at from two
to three hundred thousand men, and it is said
to be increasing at the rate of 10000 a day.
The announcement was made yesterday in
the French Chambers that the present army
Of France numbers zoo, 900 regular troops and
504 900 Gardes Mobile, not including the
contingent drawn on the Goth Of August for
the current year. The forwarding of rein
forcements to Mcmahon is said to continue
actively, and the assertion is reiterated in
Paris that his communication with Bazaine is
perfect. But advices by way Of Belgium,
Berlin and London agree in the conclusion
that Razaine is enclosed at Metz, and if this
is true, it would seem that the opportunity Of
McMahon is gone.
There is again some talk of intervention
and armed Intervention is reported at Berlin
on the part of Austria and Italy, and peacea-
BILE Intervention on the part of England. The
Berlin National Gazette says that all the pow.
ers of earth cannot stop Prussia now in bel
war of self-preservation.

The Latest Fashionable Beverage.

A furnishing store In this city advertises a
new style of cravat as "the latest fashion for
the throat" This may be the latest style for
the outside of that organ, but fashion for
the inside has just come up which is twice as
popular. Somebody has found out that Scbe-
dam Schnapps improve soda water, and euery-
body acquiesces in the arrangement. Altho'
somewhat conservative by nature, we are not
opposed to progress, and conceiving it our
solemn duty, as public journalist, to ascer-
tain whether Schnapps Soda Water was a
proper thing to be recommended to our SUBJ
scribers, we tried it, The result may be stat
ed in a few words. The mixture is good to
take, and if our stomach is like stomachs in
general it is congenial to that part of the hu-
man organization. Finally. and to conclude,
''it touches the right spot."-Sumday Courier.

We are about to begin new chapter in oul
history as people. The paths we are abou,
to tread are new and untried. They are, il
may be, beset by dangers, certainly labors
and duties unpleasant to be performed and
unavoidable, and we, whose ways have been
peaceful and pleasant, may, and most of us
will, feel inclined to turn away from the or
deal. But one of two results awaits us Either
we must indite our own history with our own
hands, OF we must fold them, and leave others
to blur the page our children will blush to
look upon. To dream, when fancy is under
the curb of consciousness, may be delightful
pastime; to piue and lie idle under a load of
distressing weight, which the violence of
spasmodic efforts fails to remove, is but to en-
courage the approach Of final catastrophe.
The statesman, worthy Of his name and call
ing, studies and applies the science of gov
eminent, with reference to facts as they are
and things as they exist, with the same con-
sstency and precision, and with the same in
evitaby good results, as does the sensible and
accomplished military tactician. 1t is in vain
for US to spend hours (which should be de-
voted to Sleep in Improbable musings upon
melancholy mishaps and damnable outrages,
which, tits true, still live "within the book
and volume of our BRAIN" but nowhere else
except upon the, page Of history. We are but
too apt to rise from such reveries. paralyzed
by disgust and despair. 1t is equally unpro-
6table to spend our waking hours in the ex-
preston of Intellectual wishes. And while
denunciations, in fitting terms. of wrongs in
ficted and of their authors, may be somewhat
refreshing, and not to be discredited, this alone
cannot relieve US, or provide against future
disasters. l freely acknowledge the premises,
but as stoutly repudate the conclusions of the
man who, denouncing the XVIII Amendment
as fraud and outrage, declines to lend his
earnest exertions to render tolerable an exist
ence which must be spent under it. The
severest blowyet delivered by Radical ursurp-
ers against the character and eristence of our
Government, as Federal Union, is to be
found in that very amendment, striking down
State authority in domestic affairs, and accu-
mulatiug despotic and destructive powers in
the hands of an irresponsible nationality. In
my humble judgment, one of the means ne
cessary for employment, in our efforts to cor
rect this fatal blow to personal liberty and
the integrity Of the States, is the very instru-
mentality by which they hope to perpetuate
it. mean, of course, the negro vote. Apart
from the attainment of this grand result, viz:
the correction of Radical errors in our consti-
tutional maxims, questions of domestic con-
Germ, too important to be lightly treated
questions touching the well-being of society
itself, seem to render an effort in this direction
both judicious and proper.
