The letter of Wendell Phillips, accept
ing the nomination of the Labor Reform
Party for Governor, is sharply criticised
and severely censured by some of the
Prohibitionists, who accuse him of being
red republican.
The Knoxville Whig and Register says
the resolutions of the Greene county con-
rention 'repeat the sentiments of Andrew
johnson, SO gloriously enunciated in his
messages" and predict that "they will
achieve a popularity not inferior to the
veto messages of ex-President johnson. y

, how often the flag" and the "Constitu-
ton" occur in the Greene county resolu-
tions. but liberal number Of times we
venture to guess.

TIE EUROPEAN WAR.

The progress of the Prussians towards
Paris is slow compared with the early
movements in the war. This moderation
is dictated by the changed state of affairs
occasioned by the deposition of Napoleon
and the establishment of new govern
ment. The new government is not bound
to maintain Napoleon's quarrel, and after
the fate which has happened to him and
his armies is not very willing to do so.
King William has probably had about
enough Of fighting and does not care to
batter down Paris at the heavy expense OF
men, money and labor which it will ccs
him, and the opprobrium which will res
upon him for destroying so magnificent ;
city unless he can show the clearest iusti
fication for it. Hence both sides are think
ing of peace, operations are slow, and de
lay favors pacific settlement. 1t may be
that Paris will stand siege, but we think
events indicate peace at no distant day,
although the conditions must be difficult
to arrange.
