'I Lore are various little clouds of danger ou
the European horizon, which may yet eeriomly
allett the condition of Europe during the next
year, and in a minor depree our own well-being.
The old source of diplomatic trouble cho prin
cipalities mar the mouth ot the Danube is
again bringing lorlh revolution and disturbance.
We may hear oaaiu of Eubsia marching over the
1'ruih and quitting the uneasy condition of the
Slavonic populations, and beginning a new
struggle with Turkey. It cannot be supposed
that even the severe lesson of the Crimean War
has put an enl to the great ambition of Russia
to possess Constantinople. It is doubtful now
whether England and France would unite for
another effort to check this progress towards
the sea, especially 11 Russia coald show any kind
of good diplomatic reasons lor it. Certainly the
fyuipathy ot this country would not now be
aitainBt Russia, as, since emancipation, it is be
lieved that her course ot administration will re
more in harmony with the spirit ot the aee than
ever before, md that Europe would be no more
impeded in a rational advance by Rust-ia than
uy xurKuy in me rjospnorus.
But beiore such possible events can become
realities tnere must be desperate and bloody
war?, and the doctrine of modern political
economy is the financial "solidarity of nations;"
that the prosperity of one is associate 1 with the
prosperity of all.
A war on tie Black Sea would disturb our
commerce and exchanges, ani would, more or
les , affect every brunGh of our trade. Still
more would a struggle on the Baltic between
the two leading German Powers for the Duchies.
It the unfortunate differences between Austru
and Prussia in regard vo Schleswig-Holstein
should ripen into a war, it would be one which
might draw all continental Europe into tne
vortex, perhaps even England itself. Napoleon
might seek in the great confusion and struggle
to win Belgium or the Rhine Provinces; Italy
might strike for Venice, and Hungary use for
her complete independence. Great Britain
might leel it a necessity to preserve or regain
her weight in European attain by siding with
seme ol the great Powers.
it is most probable tnat the differences between
A w-t la and Prussia will be compromised; still the
Eelitical bkies wear a siiually look, and our
ufcinets men will do well to loot carefully at
the.-e signs. Whatever storms rage in Europe,
our own course here must be calm and peacetui.
Neither the Mexican question nor the Canadian
fisheries can possibly embroil us when there is
danger to the European powers at home.
Ve suall feel indeed the reacting civrenls from
these di.-turbauees in Europe, but they cannot
aliect us seriously. Our problems and duugers
are all domestic. We must proceed with the
grand and peaceful work of healing the wounds
oi a ternblo war. We have to build up the
Union, to complete the work of emancipation,
to reduce our expenses and contract the cur
rency, to promote production and organize our
nuances, so that the burdens of a tremendous
struggle may rest as lightly as possible on our
people. Already the suras are favorable.
Ihe currency is slowly returning; to a specie
basis; our banking interest is pronounced by
European critics to be the 1 soundest iu the
world; our most unequal and Injudicious tariff is
to be revised m the iu.ercts ot production. Tho
imports of luxuries are trlvintr mens of falline oiF.
while the export ot cotton is about to increase to
a vast extent, with lower pr.ces rulms. Eo
reisers are aiding us continually with capital
uv lamng our puDiic bonds ana railway secun
uee; tne credit oi tne Uovernment is rising
every day iu all the markets of the world; the
revenues oi the country for expenses and lor
raj his the interest on the public debt are far
beyond our calculation: Drices of commodities
ate everywhcie tailing, and wages will soon
' lollow, so that the burdens on consumers will
speedily be lightened. A few will suffer who
have speculated beyond their means; Borne
apparent fortunes will lose their value; tho
manufacturing companies who have been
making puch enormous profits will bo obliged
to sell out at a loss; biu the community at
laree will be a gainer. An enormous develop
ment of production is at hand iu cotton from
tho South, and in gold from Colorado and the
neighboring, regions, while the West will supply
corn and meat to those districts occupied iu
their more protitaule branches.
The South is wisely rejecting all reactionary
fallacies about the Greater cheapness ot errowinir
corn and raising hogs near by, to save the ex
pense ol freight from the Weut, and Is turning
all her energies to wnat pays the best cotton
culture assured if the profit of this production
is sufbelent, that she can afford to lei New Ena
land make her shojs, and Indiana grow her
corn. In like manner, the Central West will
use their unrivalled agricultural facilities and
iced the whole country, without turning capital
to unnatural and unprofitable branches of manu
facture. Many burdens weierh indeed on the production
and commerce of the seaboard, but there are
many sum of a healthful growth and ot in
creasing progress.

All Europe is in trouble about Bancroft. His
recent oral ion upon President Lincoln has
touched the sore points of almost all the mon
archie. The London Times, speaking for Eug
land, compares bim to Elijah Pogram. The
London fjtevtaior thinks that he is more like the
"Young Coluuiblnn" wh taunted the British
lion. The press of France, muzzled by the Em
pel or, discreetly sajg nothing; but the copiei of
the Herald conta'nlng the ora ion and our oam
menfs are seized and suppressed by the 0 ivern-1

V hat follows may be easily imupined. It is the
same sort ot a teihpost that ha followed the de-
4 livery of I'lineiolt's on.th n. The representa-
tif.pt tn- t.uiopean powers asem neu at tue
Capitol to listen to.a eulogy upon President Lin
coln. They came in full dresn, and expccleJ to have
a verv idee time. Of course they knew that
Lincoln would be praised; but they ancicipaled
that, a' is usual upon such occasion, a few
8U gt.r p!ums would be distributed among tho
am ience. They were politely recoived and con
duttod to prominent seats. Vice-president Fos
ter, as the lady ot the house, gre.'ted them with
the customarv compliments. Then came the
turn ol the enfant terrible. Bancroit arose, and
thp lun began. He declared that England was
a good-lor-uothing, worn-out Uoverument. He
told Napoleon that ho must eet out of Mexico,
or take the consequences. He stigmatized Maxi
milian as ''an Austrian adventurer." Naturally
tuc representatives ot foreign Powers felt mdig
naut. They had received more taan they had
barenined lor. They wrote tearful despatches
back to iheir home Governments. jTbe frigbttul
fuss in Europe is Ini remit.
But, new leai the thiuj is all over, what are
the powers of Kurope go iic to do ab nit it f Our
enfant terrible told the truth, and even thouerh
vie administer to him a lmlo salutary correc'io'i. j
in private, we snail certainly stand up tor him
in public. The British Government has behaed
very badly, and i a woru-oui institution. Na
poleon has no liiht in Mexico, and he must
withdraw his tioops and respect the public st;r
timeut of tho United States amnion which has
been upon the most amicable terms with France,
and wishes to contlnuo thoe Iriendly relations,
If Napoleon will permit it by relinqtiislnusi his
Mexican projects. As for Maximilian, it he be
not an Austrian adventurer, what is he? A
prince who leaves his homo in Europe fid is
forced upon the Mexican people, against thi ir
consent, by feiticn bayonets, is certainly do
servina of no better title. It tbe Emperor of
Austria feels so very angry upon this sub
ject, let him show his resentment iu the only
practicable way Supposo that he lequest.s Na
poleon to withdraw the Frjnch army from
Mexico, and then undertakes to support Maxi
milian with Austrian soldiers. Napoleon would
be pleased with this arrangement, ior it would
extricate him tiom a dangerous diletpnia. We
should not be displeased with it, for if we are
obliged to fight somebody in order to restore ihe
republic ot Mexicc, we would much rather fight
Auttrians, who are totr 1 strangers to us, than
irrencnmcn, witn wnom we nave manv bonds ot

Dy i lie isanc.oit oration included, it this scheme
be not adopted we cannot suggest any other
mode to sat: sty Europe. We shall certainly not
biirrender Bancroft to the Brit sh, who would
blow htm from the mouth of a canu in a? they
d:d the Sepoys and are coimr to do with the
Fenians. The French cannot have' him at any
price, for tho reports ot their cruelties in Mexico
have already pushed our patience to the limits.
And sooner than entrust him to tho tender mer

to its mansion in the Bkies or elsewhere.
rrcsident Johnson and Ills Cabinet The
I'ast and the F resent Order ol Things.
.From the Herald.
The reconstruction of tho Cabinet has for
some time ceased to be a subject of rumors and
conjectures among the political circles at Wash
ington. There seems to be a general under
standing that the question of a reorganization"
has been indefinitely postponed, subject only
to the chapter of accidents and circumstances
to wlich all human affairs are liublo from day
to day. The President naturally shrinks from
the idea ol supersedine the ministers inherited
lrom his lamented predecessor, and they are
eviuently Batistied with this amiable feeling of
Mr. Johnson. But here the question is sug
gested, should they not be iuiluenced by a cor
responding sentiment of delicacy, and grace
fully give him the oppoitunity of reorganizing
his administrative household without the hazard
of complaints of injustice from any quarter?
That tbe leading members of the present Ca
binet have come out ot the trying ordeal ol our
late deadly and perilous strugcle lor the lito
ot Ihe nation with flying colors is univer
sally admitted; that Mr. Seward has managed
our difficult and critical foreign relations
dunne the last Ave eventful years with
smeular skill aud abUiy no intelligent
man will deny; that Mr. Stanton has
conducted with unsurpassed energy, frres'ght,
and fidelity, day aud nichi, the stupendous
machinery of the War Office required lor the
equipment, transportation, aud supply of a
million of soldiers in the field, envefopintr an
niea of eight hundred thousand square miles
of hostile territory, is proved by the glorious
events of the war; and that the final summinir
up of the Secietary ot the Navy has given eeneral
latislaotion we are elad to testily. What can
President Johnson do airuinst the claims of such
public officers as thee ? Sharing the common
Lratituae ot the country for their faithful ser-
vices, their trials and dangers throueh the fear
ful struggle of the war, he recocrutzes their
right to a liberal margin of indulgence. Yet
it is manifest that the war Cabinet ot President
Lincoln, animated and controlled by one all
absorbing idea, does not work so harmoniously
as tbe peace Cabinet or bis puccessor. Peace
has brought about a new epoch a new order
of Jhings demanding a new depirture, a new
policy, Hnd a new ministry in the new work
of recoastiuction, and especially demanding:.
in support of the Executive, a Cabinet that
is a unit.
President Johnson had exhibited a conpe'en-
tious respect lor the memory ol 'Abraham Lin
coln in everything that he has done, and in
everything he has declined to do, as the inheri
tor ot Mr. Lincoln's responsibilities, pledg,
and policy. The country is thus indebted for
the ratification of his emancipation proclama
tions in the jreat constitutional amendment
abolishing and interdicting slavery throtmhout
the Union and forever. So, too, as upon all
"collateral issues" the geuerous Liiucolu had
promised the rebellious States a larue exercise
of niagniiuimitv, his policy has been pursued
by Johnson. But still the clashlngs of recon
struction theories aud parties and factions, in
Consresb and out ol Congress, have resulted in
discordaut opinions in the Cablnot opiniouB
which have become settled while the President
has1 been developing his own well-considered
nieasures of Southern restoration. Hence we
iiud him rather embarrassed than strengthened
by a Cabinet accepted aa'a leaacy with the
policy indicated by his predecenaor.
President Johnson Is. however, disinclined to
.mort to the extreniif y ot displacing this Cabinet
as an unpraelous task, and it I to th! illfilcuHv
ihatweould invito the attention of the mem
bers concerned. To remove this embarrassment
ni 0 to have tlieirSotfcial cb ef ncrlccUv free to
j.rocri d to a reorganization, his present Cabinet,
in a body, should ten 'or him their rcjeanations.
TbPie is nut grr o-herlso that tKe diplomatic
ropi4ation oi Mr. Sewaid acquired through the
war may be damnred by b confl ct with lh9
art'iil fti'V-ei's of Loirs Napoleon in refereuco to
Mejriro. Ihere is dmsrer, t io, that the tint irinn
lnOuftr.v, zeal, and war enerav ot Besretary
t-tr.i. ton tna be in fdirec ed in the reconstructive
oik ot peace. The flexible, tempori'itiij diplo
macy ot Seward is now out ol place in the
Ha e Depnrlniet.t quite as much as tV Inflexi
ble, Crt'inw ellian ieal ot Sainton lu the War

We want decision new in our diplomacy, and
cciidliftiion between tho late host le armed
forces ot the North and South. Above all. a
peilct nccord between the President and his
li.t inet is rssenMnl to the success of the admin-l-tiation;
and iu this view, 1' tbe amiable policy
in behalf harmony pursued bv Mr. Lincoln
chilli fa 1, there may be no other a'terimtive, In
the piocress of events, lelt to Mr. Johnson thin
the ricid but e tlcetive system of Andrew Jack
Mn. It is probable that recent events have
shared linn Cabinet to a passive compliance with
the President's policy; but he is cut. tied to their
hearty co-operation. It is possiblo that he may
be satisfied with less; but Irom a high conside
ration of dignity and decorum he should be
nlievcd of nil cmbariawuicnts upon the subject.
President Johnson's Fartr Relations
Fivm Vie f orld.
It is a question of some in1 crest hd w far Presi
dent Johnson may consider hlmsclt bound to
tho Republican party in copseq ieuco of his
election by It to a different oilico from the one
he fills. This is a question of individual honor
and conscience which only Mr. Johton can
decide; but the main considerations w'.iich bear
ou it are as open to the pubi c judgment as to
his ow n.
It cannot be pretended that, preyious to tho
Baltimore Convention, Mr. Johnson evert any
allegiance io the Republican party. He had
always been a more pronounced Doin crat, it
possible, and more vehement opponent ot the
Republican party, than the late Senator Douglas.
Neither Mr. Johnson nor Mr. Douglas, in giving
a piompt ana vuorous support to tbe war, pro-lesf-ed
inemseives, or were uuder.-toot Dy others,
to have renounced their Deinoci at 1c principles,
or to have changed their party relations. Mr.
Johnson was appointed Military Governor of
Teunci see because ho was tbe most prominent
lojalist iu that State, and it was deemed politic
to'nppolnt a reideut lor his local knowledge.
He had the rank aud pay of a brigadier-geueral,
and was no iuoie bound to cnange hid politics
in consequence bi his appointment thau uny
otlei Democratic brigadier-general appointed
by 1'iesideut Lincoln.
"Whatever claim the Republican party has on
Mr. Johnson dates from the Baltimore Convtu
lion. His Fole obi ga'ion to the party was
citatcd by tho action of that Convention. Alter
.Lis nomination the party nan coinpclh-d to vote
tor him iu order to vpte lor Mr. Lincoln: as it
was impossible to run separate sets of electors
for Ptesident and Vice-President. We must,
therefore, look into the history of tho Conven
tion ro find ti e measure of his obligation.
It 18 notorious that Mr. Johnson was taken up
at Baltimore because it was deemed expedient to
stiungihen tbe ticket by nominating a Democrat.
Vice-President Hamlin bad a strong body of sup
porters; and he was rejected by the Couvoution
ouly because it was thought better to go out of
the Republican party tor the second name on the
ticket. The Vice-President has no political
power, except td cast a tie vole on equal divi
sion of the Senate; the chance ot his becoming
Piusidcnt was small next to nothing, as it then
appeared and tbe Convention pretcrred what
they supposed the slight risk ot having a Demo
cratic l iesident by death, to the greater risk ot a
Democratic Picsidentby election. What Is more
to ihe pui pose J.-, that the same question was
aaitated in the Convention which now divides
the President and Congress; that it was decided
by the Convention in favor ot Mr. Johnson's
present policy; and that his nomination was
the consequence ot that decision and a pari of it.
Thad. Stevens opposed, in the Convention, the
admission of the delegates from Tennessee, on
precisely tbe same grounds that ho has this win
ter led the opposition to admitting the Southern
representatives to Congress. The choice for
Vice-President of that part of the Convention
which preferred to leject Mr. Hamlin and take a
ixmocrat, jay between Mr. Jonnson and Mr.
Dickinson; and the competing Democratic claims
were decided by the New York delegation, who
concluded in caucus to vote for the admission of
the Tenneisee delegates, and thus secure tho
nomination of Mr. Johnson. So far, Iheiefore,
as be is bound to anything by the action of the
Republican Convention, it is to t steady adhe
rence to his present policy. The adoption of that
policy by the Convention was the very thing
lhat nominated h:in. If, after his acceptance
and election, the party take different ground, he
is under no obligation to lollow them. Tho
strictest notions of gratitude and fidelity can
bind him to nothing beyond the policy ot the
Convention by w bich he was nominated.
Besides the question of policy, there is the
question of fmtronage. Considering the Re
publican party merely as an organization for the
spoils, and regarding the President as a party
chief, till usage would still allow him the freest
range ot personal choice, so long as he did not
go out ot the party lor appointees. It some Re
publicans suppoit a policy w hich he deems vital,
and ethers oppose it, he "is perfectly Iree, as a
party man, to bestow all his offices on Republi
cans who agree with him.
But this degrading spoils view is unworthy
of the cii'is. It is, in lact, inconsistent with
the preservation ot the Union. Even if Mr.
Lincoln had lived, or if Mr. Seward were
President, he could not, without ba'e treachery
to the country, administer the Government ou
the spoils syttem of ordinary tunes, which re
quires all the offices to be bestowed on members
ot the party that elected the 'President. It this
rule were followed now, the Government could
not possibly be adminitered in the recovered
Stalep, which would be kept excluded from
the Union by the impossibility of rinding
agents to execute the laws. The" success of the
war just at the time he came into otlice compels
Mr. Johnson to go entirely outside the party
that elected hini for appointees . to office in
nearly one-half of the country. It is fortunate
that he has no party obligations thut interfere
w ith his perfect freedom In the disposal of the
public patronage. Though a Democrat in prin
ciple, he owes uothlng to the Democratic party,
tor It epposed his election. Thoueh elected by
the Republicans, he owes liftle to them, for they
took him as a Democrat; took him because he
was a Democrat; aud bestowed on him an office
of mere honor, without either patronaze or in
fluence. If he has otlices to besto w, it is con
trary to their intentions. If ho has power in
the Government, it is not because they meant to
trust him any. If he dill'ers from them in
policy, it is because they difff r from the Con
vention that nominated him. It is not possible
tn conceive a combination of circumstances
which would more completely exempt a Presi
dent from all party obligations, and leave him
so lree to act in the spirit of elevated patriotism,
without regard to party trammels.

The Land of this Company consults ot about 120
Acres, In ft eckleuburg county. Noith Carolina, about
ih miles iroin the town oi charlotte.
On this property flTcen shafts or pits hare been opei ed
anu suuk to various depths, trout 10 to bi Net, deuiou
stratliiK the existeuco ot three parauei eiusoi oreof
about 2 leel in width and sbout 16 ivet apart, converging
to a comu on centre ai the depth oi about loU teet. loan
ing one Immense diim or vein ol ore, emending In
length through the property more than halt' a mile.
1 Lei e are alto on i his property otner veins ot ore unex
plored A 11 these ores are known as Ihe Brown urns,
and are verv rich, yielding an averai-e ol about per
ton in gold, tbe above results having been demon
strated by the rude working of the mines lor several
years past, tbe ritk Of Investment In undere loped pro
perty Is not incarred, and by the application of modem
mining and reuueing machinery the ompauv anticipate
an Immediate and laige teturu lor their money.
Having an ore that readily yle'ds V200 per ton, some
estimate can be made of ile value ot his property. With
the present uuperiect s.tstcm oi mining, ten tons of ibis
ore cim be taken out and reduced daily iroin every shait
opcued, at an expense not exceeding tM per ton. leav
ing a net daily pritit ol al750 tor eacb shaft worked by
the Company.
Ihe large working capital reserved will enable the
Company at once io procure ana erect the best niodoin
niscliineiy ior mauipuiaiuig uie ores, vy means oi wuicu
the yield w 111 be la: gely bicnascd.
lhese mines, whilst they produce ores richer than
those of Colorado or Nevada, have muny advantages
over lliem, particularly in an abundance .! IU'1 aud
cheap lubor, and the lacillty with which they eau be
workeu during the witueyear: whilst ti ose ot Colorado
and Nevada can only be worked during the warm
weather.
A test assay of an aveiage (specimen of the ore from
the Carson Alines was made as late as the 27th ol
jsnuary ot the present year, as will apoear from the fol
lowing certificate ol Ptoies.-ors Booth aud Garrett, the
Assayersol the Philadelphia Alinti
Philadelphia, January 27, 1863.
Dear Blr: We have carelullv assayed the sample of
ore uoin "Carson Mine," North Carolina, and find It to
yield ten ounces muo pennyweights oi pure goiu to tne
ton of ore. 'J lie coin value Is tliercl'ors vilfi'Vi per tou
