WARS porNGs.

While some wars have been'benencia''
a majority have been calaDfous to man
kind It is not to be regarded as an ex.
cessive penalty for the establishment OF

Iost IN hattie. The atmosphere becomes
90 charged with water that it takes thu
form of a cloud that bursts in thunder
and food upon the earth. Alter that

ruption, outrage, tyranny and wrong Sc
charge the political atmosphere as TO
nrovoke revolutions, wars and devasta-
ton. When they announce q grea.
principle that is recognized by the SOUND
judgments of men as necessary 10
progress and happiness, they leave a
healthy condition of things, and govern
ments and individuals find themselves
trayersing the line of a new departure
our revolution of &c is perfect illus
ration of this. But European wars are
generally produced by schemes OF ter,

affected the actual combstants, other
nations could afford to let them tight 1t

world this war of France and Prussia Is
a nuisance, a wrong, and so will be re-
corded. 1t is deeply injurious to Amer
can interests, and particularly so to
those of the South.

A spEcK OF WAR.

Governor Alcorn has, in some manner,
provoked very bitter hostility to himself
on the part of prominent members OF
his party. Ina recent letter to Radical
leader, he uses this language:
General Lee was, perhaps, a rebel,
vet in q much humber position, l, my
self stand guilty Of the same offense-
Neither must overlook the fact that my
marty embraces in its ranks men who
have been amongst the most devoted
soldiers of the South. ] cannot, there
fore, seemingly approve OF any slur cas'
upon the memory of General Lee De-
cause Of his participation IN the re-
belion." A wise Cancellation would lose
S;gbt of the "rebel" in presence OF the
noble qualities Of the man and shining
achievements of the soldier.
Perhaps this tribute TO great man
was more than the apostles Of hate could
consent to tolerate il one who had been
their honored leader at the polls and
their Gamaliel in the closet 10 our
view. the subject Of this euiogy not only
merits the highest praise that Governor
Alcorn can bestow upon him, but that
other praise that combines melody with
verse and eloquence with prose But
Alcorn is doomed. The language he
has employed has long since found lis
way to Washington, and fate worse
than that of Schurz awaits him. 1t is a
grave offense at Washington to express
an opinion that does not emanate from
headquarters. Look at the storm tha'
McCreery gathered over his head by oar
ing to bring the name eff Lee into the
Senate. The statesman Of Mississippi
is in a worse condition than the Ken
tucky Senator, for he is a member OF the
organization newly named the Eternal
Haters. This detection, for so it will be
regarded, coming at time when am
nesty is refused and reconstruction
threatened, may wither the laurel on the
brow of the Mississippian.

The Adelaide PhiIIipps Concert.

On next Thursday and Friday grand

will be assisted by Mr. Jules D. Hasler,
the splendid baritone, Mr.. Edward
Hoffman, pianoist, and Mr.. J. Levy the
renownd cornet player. A Boston cor
respondent of London paper says:
Miss Adelaide Phillips used no STRAIT
egg in her attack on the good graces of
the audience--she carried them by a
vigorous assault. From the first mo-
ment of her entrance until the fall of
the curtain, she trod the stage conquer
or. secure of her victory. In addition
10 the possession of a wonderful con-
tralto voice Of surprisingly rich tone
and wonderful volume, Miss Phillips is
a consummate actress; as she poufs forth
a food Of glorious melody-she weeps,

truthfully represented by her expressive
countenance, graceful action and won

CRIME.

To turn back the leaves of the records

within the past FIVE years would develop
an aggregate Of horrors quite sufficient

mentalties without number. But still

is insufficient Society is now placed on
