The vicksburg Herald reioices in publish
lug dispatch from Hon. J. Floyd King,
which states that the House Committee on
Commerce has allowed an additional g, 000,-
900 as an appropriation for the Improvement
Of the Mississippi river. II says that amount,
with what remains of the former appropria.

the commission, which will prevent the work
below Cairo from being suspended from want

as smart as the Scotch wizard TO discover
what that Job shall be.

THE Observation-Disclosures

The Jackson MississippiaH says of the meet

children were safe in the center OF this, but
when the people in their despair began

But this was not the worst The horses soon

EUKOPE's FEARS AND FOREBOD

A very striking article in Blackvood's Mag

impression that prevails in Europe, especi-

pires and Kingdoms almost in spite of them.
selves; that irresistible influences are weav-
ing such complications among the nations
that war on large scale-war that must al.
feet the deslinies OF all the prominent coun-
tries in Europe-will break out and rage
with unprecedented luminosity and vigor. At
the lxtter end of the last century, before the
French revolution broke out and the reign
OF terror Mortified the world, such a feeling
prevailed. There was a general thrill of
expectancy. Any movement of policy by any
power was noted and discussed; a dim
feeling OF apprehensiveness existed; there
was an influence in fhe air that everyone
felt. AT length the crash came, and the head
of Louis and the charming Marie Anton.
cite fell upon the scafold, and the tricoteuses
chatted their daily scandal around the fatal
guillotine. Something of the same feeling
exists to-day. The predictions Of Napoleon
about the final breaking up of the Turkish
power are called to mind. The strange atsi-
tude of the people to-day toward their Gov
ereigns is conirasted with the unquestioniug
loyalty Of former days. The spread of
democratic sentiments, the decreased regard
for rank and family, all enter into the dumb,
dull, all-pervading, irresistible impression
that dark and bloody days are approaching.
