POSSIBLE RESULTS.

The New York Hcrdyd, in a long article
discussing the new complications created
in Europe by the recent exposures in re-
gard to the secret treaty proposed by Ma
poleon to Bismarck, finds a solution not
very easy, and in conclusion of an able
leader says:
Look at the situation from what point Of
view we may, we can arrive at no other conclu-
sion than this that Eu- pc has been on the eve
OF no such crisis since he wars of the First Ma
poleon We not wonder that men given TO
the study of the Apocalypse should recognize m
the approaching conflict the battle Of Armaged-
wear which Inns been specially honored by the
proclamation of Papu 1nmllibility should wit

From "a correspondent at Clinton, we learn the

of Wintors Gap, last week. and was committed
by one who bore towards the innoeent victim ri
