A richly bound and finely printed work, abounding In well-executed Illustrations, cannot 111 to be an attractive volume to the lover of the Injurious In literature, but when lt diction itlure, Its description graphic, and 1(8 subcct matter new, it la a welcome companion, a friend and an entertainer, aa well a an ornament. The work of Colonel Marcy comes partially under uch a description. In some parts the author is Inclined to be too diffuse, but as a whole it U both original and well written, while all must admire its typography. Colonel Marcy, in an experience of thirty years, ha been enabled to collate a VBt supply of materials, for which he has copiously drawn on his "army life." It is full of anecdote, adventure, and valuable information. Many parts of It are of deep Interest, and much new light is lot In upon that rapidly diminishing race, the prairie Indians. The main portion ot the work Is generally so continuous that ve cannot quote from it, but the more humorous portion will well bear republication. ; The fol lowing excellent description of a , frontiersman we give entire: I had made a new road from New Moxico that was extensively travel ed by California emi grants, aud was a very great advantage to the settlers along its line, borne years atter its com pletion I stopped over night with one of them, a Virginian, who was del ghtedto sec me, regarded me as a bencfa tor, would have Used to give me a barbecue, extended the hospitalities of his house, and said tbat I could be elected to Con gress from tba; district. I thanked him for his kind wishes in my behalf, and informed htm tbat I should not be able to stay tor the barbacue, but that, if it was perfectly convenient, we wo Jld with pleasure dine with him. After dinner I hesitated for some time about ottering compensation to our host, but finally did so by askinq him how much we were indebted loi our dinner. lie replied, 'Only six bits apiece,' Cap." (The usual price in that country was two bits.) As we were preparing to leave, he remarked, "You must give us a call on jour return, sir, and stay over night with us, sir: I want to how you a specimen of genuine old Virginia hospitality, bir." He then directed one of the negroes to bring up our horses; and, as we were mr tinting, said, ''Gentlemen, don't give that boy Jake two bit i apiece for taking care ot your horses: don't do it, gentlemen." (We had then made no demonstration towards re warding the boy.) From the price we paid for our dinner, it occurred to me that if tbe bar bacue had come off, the Virginian's hospitality might have proved rather an expensive affair to me. Again, referring to the well-known tality of Virginia, he says: hospl- "Are you gwine fur to Jine ole Zack down la Mexico?". "Mo, sir, the Mexican war is ended, and we are now on tbe war for the Choctaw nation." "Whar did ye come from, stranger?" "We came fast lrom Pascagoula." "Mought you be the boss hossifer of that thar army?" pointing to the men. "I am the commanding officer of that detach ment, elr." ' "Wall, Mr. Hossifer, be them sure 'nuff sogers, or is they maku b'Ueve chaps, like I seen down to Orleans?" . "They have passed through the Mexican war, and I trust they have proved themselves not only worthy the appellation of real, genuine soldiers, but of veterans, sir." ".Now I geat want to know one thing more, boss; be them chaps reg'lura, or be they me lista T" "I assure you that they belong to the regular army ot the United States." , Then,i pointing to my uniform, he added, "Apperieutly, then, fightin's your trade?" "I adopted the prulession ot arms at nn early age," I replied. "War you at the Orleans tight, whar onr boys gin sich particular fits to ole Pack ?" (Packen ham I suppose he meant.) I answered that, though a pretty old soldier, mv commission did not date quite so far back as 1814.. "Wall, ole boss, you moughtn't a been thar, but you ain't no chicken now, sure." He con tinued s "One time me an' him, Ike Thompson, we went on a sogerin' spree." "Ah I indeed; in what place did you serve, pray?" i, "In severial places; but the last pop we fout at the battle of the Hoss-shoe, whar we and ole Hickry cleaned out the Ingines." "That was a most decisive and sanguinary battle," I observed. "I calkerlate, Mr. Hossifer, that war the most cfe-cisiveat and the most san-ufn-ariest fight you ever seen in all yer born days. We boys we up and pitched in thar, and we gin the yaller-belltes the most parr-ticlar ball Columby. We chawed urn ail up; we laid um out cold'r nur a wedge; we saved every mother's son of um we did that thar little thing, boss. ' I replied that I had no doubt very many of the Indians were killed, but that I had always been under the impression that some ot them made tbeir escape: and, in fact, I was very confident that several Creek Indians were then living upon the Canadian river who participated in the battle ot Horse-shoe. He said he "rayther reckou'd not;" but, at all events, he was quite certain "ef any of the dogond varmint did git tfcvay, they war d d badly wounded, sartin sure." He then produced a bottleof whisky, and gave me a pressing invitation "to liquor," remarini that "he war not too proud to take a horn with a feller soger, even if he war a reg'lar." After having taken the driuk, be approached me, and in a f-erlous tone said, ''Tour's nary paper tuck in this yere settle-men, but I beam tell that Uin'ral Jackson ar dead; maybe you mought heer'd some talk 'Dout it as you com'd 'long the road, stranger?" The author tella ot a Virginian travelling In the same locality, who, on testing the whisky of his Arkausas host, found it rathe; raw and un palatable, and mixed it in the shape of a "mint- uiep, w nie u. was a novel idea to me Arican aiau. The latter, however, was delighted with the new style of drink, indulged In It quite libe rally, and learned the method of concocting It. The mournful result is told thus: "THB OLB MAM'S DEAD, STBINOER." The Virginian continued on bis tourney, . towards Texas, and in due course ot time sot out to return. On arriving at the house before men tioned, he concluded he would call and renew his acquaintance with his friendly old host. Ac cordingly, he rode up to th gate, and seeing one oi me dovs or tne iamuy standing near, ai-ked mm, "How Is the old gentleman, your jainer, uij bub i r The boy, with an air of the most perfect Indif ference, replied: "Why, the ole man's dead, stranger."

PHILADELPHIA SATURDAY, who desire information and seek entertain ment. Among the amusing army storlos is om of green young cadet from Arkansas, who passed through a variety of ad ventures in getting to West Point, and Anally arrived th ere. What fol lowed our readers shall see: TBI ABKANSA8 CADET. Now his letter ot appointment required hira to report in person to tue superintendent, Colo nel 1 bayer, who was a very refined, courteous, and dignified gentleman, but, at the same time, he w exceedingly rig'd In enforcing the strictest discipline, and the highest respect for rank and m litary authority. My young friend, alter ascertaining where the Colonel's quarters were situated, shouldered bis trunk (he was then about six fret high, and powerfully developed), and staggered nnder tu weight up tho steep bill to the Superintendent's house, put down his trutik upon the steps, and was at once admitted Into the Colonel's presence. Unlike most of. the cadets on their first intro duction to this dignitary, he was not ia the slightest degree abashed, but lelt entirelv self posse sed, and, taking a chair close to the Coloael, and looking him attentively ia the face, said, "Ole man, ar you Colonel, or Captain, or whateveryou-call-um Thayer f" To which the old gentleman very giavelv replied, "I am Colouel Thayer, sir.' "Wall, now, look-a yere, Kuril." said the youth, 'this yere hill of youra am u, breather; ef it ain't, d n me." Tbe Colonel soon comprehended what kind of a specimen ot humanity he had before him. and directed his orderly to show him to the barracks, where he was sVon inducted into the mysteries of wholesome discipline. As it may be a matter of curiosity with somo to know what succrss this untutored youth ot the I pre t met wtlh in his academical career, I auci, ior thi'ir information, that he applied him self industriously to bis studies, attained a good standing in his claw?, and, on graduating, was an accomplished gentleman and scholar. Pictcbes of CotrjtTBT Life. By Alice Carev. Ilnrd Houghton. Philadelphia Agent, J. B. Lipplncott A Co. We nave seldom been more pleased with any light work than with "Pictures of Country Life.f It is written in a genial, pleasant style, and abounds in little sketches drawn from rural life., find depicts, society as it exists far from our great commercial centres. Every story is interesting, and just of the proper length. If Mrs. arey will give us a few more works ol similar excellence, she will make a permauent reputation. There is a resemblance about a few of these sketches which make tbem appear almost the same, but tbe flow of plot and pleasantry soon drowns all critical censure. The work is beautifully printed in the best style ot tho enterprising firm of Hurd A Houghton. It comes from their "Riverside Presses." Self-Love. A novel. T. B. Peterson & Bros. The third and last of this entert lining series of novels, published by our enterprising neigh bors, lies before us. It is a fiction of singular power, written with force, and gives a flue op portunity for the display of an iron style of lite rature. It depicts an old maid on the down ward path of life. We do not know the authoress, but judge that' she must be cither an old maid herself, or else she possesses a sin gular power of depicting the sentiments and actions of others. It will have an extensive sale, because of the' interest with which it abounds. ' . We find from official statistics tbat at the beginning of this year 372 newspapers were pub lished in tbe kingdom of Italy. ' Of these 41 were published in Genoa, 42 in Florence, 44 in Milan, 44 in Naples, and 51 in Turin; the rest in smaller towns. . When compared wich the popu lation returns these figures give one paper to 93 inhabitants in Milan, one to 111 in Florence, one to 120 in Naples, one to 136 in Genoa, and one to 171 in Turin. The enthusiasm which pushed Italy to Its national unity, and now makes it eager for war, and which made the coneorzio for paying off the national debt popu lar with all classes, is also displaying itself In literature. The well-written articles in ia Naiione and La JPerseveranxa show that good minds are devoting themselves with zest to political discussion,' and the excellent articles which have appeared in the Nuova Antologia ince it was revived at Florence display an eqaal effort in higher literature. The desire of all writers and thinkers In Italy, as is apparent la all their articles, is to make Italy again what it once was, aud to arouse and call out the dor mant energies of a great and quick-witted people. . . . In the Emperor Napoleon's "History of Julius Cwsar" there is a note which contains a list of the sovereigns and princes who have busied themselves about Cusar's campaigns In Gaul,' showing that somehow they have pecu liar attractions to persons in exalted positions. Charles tbe Eighth of France, particularly admired "Caesar's Commentaries," and tbe cele brated monk, Robert Gaguia, presented to him in 1480 the French translation he had made of the Gallic war. Tbe Emperor Charles the Fifth lelt a copy of the "Commentaries" filled with copious marginal notes written by his own hand! The Vleeroy of Sicily, Ferdinand Gon zaga,j sent a scientific mission into France to study Ciesar's campaigns in the localities. Henry tbe Fourth translated the first two books ol the "Commentaries," and Louis the Thirteenth the last two; an edition of both was printed at the Louvre in 1C30. Louis tbe Fourteenth also translated the first book; Christina, Queen of Sweden, composed 'Reflections on tbe Life and Actions of Ca'sar;" Philippe Egallte, the Duke of Orleans, was a great reader of tbe "Commsn- tarV'f," and had a map of Ciesar's campaigns in Gaul made. Tbe first Napoleon employed him self at St. Helena in dictating a summary and criticism cf Ciesar's wars, which was published in ParlB thirty years ago. The seventh volume of the most excellent Cambridge tditlon of Shakespeare -Is just out, and the eighth, which completes' the-work, wll1 follow soon. ' Mr. J. O. Halliwell is preparing tor publication, for subscribers only, "Illustra tions of the Life and Writings of William Shako-' epeare." His purpose Is to issue in a series of folio volumes a collection of elaborate treatise on Shakespeare's life and. works, and on subjects which elucidate them, profusely illustrated with woodcuts of ancient objects and fao-slmlle and printed in the best possible style. After the subscription list closes, no more subscribers will be admitted and no more copies will be printed. Tbe wood blocks will be destroyed, a seemingly barbarous act, but necessary to prevent their subsequent use. All communications respecting the tork may be addressed to the author, at No. Bt Mary's Place, West Brompton, London. The ''German Shakespeare , Society," which was founded a year ago at Weimar amid the applanse ot the German and Engllth public, held recently its anniversary meeting. Tho society complains tbat though their efforts are to cultivate the study ot German literature as well as of Shake speare, and to elevate the German stage, yet they have met with small suocess, and the pub licat ion of the "Shakespeare Annual" did not increase their numbers. They do not, however, despair, and as they have still five hundred and seventy-three thalers In the treasury, they ate goiug to continue the work tor at least another jear. . nardly any offense in literature Is deserving of as much contempt and reprobation as the too frequent practice of using false quotations from reviews oi books to belp along the sale of the works. The beginning of one sentetoe Is some times olned to the end of another so as to alter entirely the sense of the opinion expressed. This Is so common that, except in advertisements by the most honorable publishers, such quota tions should be ent rely disregarded by persons thinking of buying the book. Two very repu table firms in London have recently got by the ears over a question of this kinJ. The Quarterly Heview, in the April number, had a very severe article on "Ecce Homo," condemning Has un bound in faith, untrue in fact, and uncritical in style. Messrs. Macmillan, the publishers of "Fcce Homo," thought that no advertisement would be so good as this sweeping condemna tion, and accordingly reprinted this sentence from the Quarterly: "The bhallowest theories end the flimsiest arguments find a ready recep tion in an empty mind, and their sole strength is iu the weakuess and credulity of their dupjs. Happily there is a vast bo ly ot educated men who are better informed." Mr. Munay, the publisher ot the Quarterly Heview, complained of this cita tion on the ground that many persons were led to infer that tho Quarterly Review had com mended "Ecce Homo" as an antidote against "shallow theories ' and "flimsy arguments," and Le published an Advertisement containing the wbole paiage.- Meeers. Macmillan printed a counter advertisement repudiating the charge of "garbling," to . the affect that "the first sen tence of the extract fully expressed the unfavor able opinion formed by the reviewer; and that, in fact, had It not done so, the object of the publishers in reprinting it would not have been answered." To this statement Mr. Murray re plied: "'The first sentence of the extract,' which the publishers of 'Ecce nooio' say 'fully expressed the unfavorable opinion formed by the reviewer,' was as follows: To refute all the errors which abound In "Ecce Homo" would be tedious aud useless.' This sentence was not in the original adveitisement, and was only added by the publi.-hers of 'Ecce Homo' after tieir first extract had been a subject of comment." Among the recent attempts at glossaries of special periods and auth rs none is more de serving of prale than "The Blole Word-Book," by the late Rev. J. Eastwood and Mr. W. Aldis Wright, the Librarian of Trinity College, Cam bridge. This is a small volume, containing a glossary of all the words in the authorized ver sion of tbe Bible and in the Book of Common Prayer which are there used in a sense different from that which thty bear, at present. The authorized version does not represent tho actual language of 1611; but it is a mosaic of , all the different translations that were made, begin ning with Tyndale's New Testament, In 1525. The illustrations of the senses of tbe. obsolete words used in the Bible are, therefore, scat tered through all the literature of this period. Many of these illustrations, from over a hun dred authors. Mr. .'.Wright . has here , brought together, for Mr. Eastwood died after forming the plan of the book, having done but little to Its execution; and the result, is a valuable . hand book not only for all readers of the Bible, but for all readers of the English literature of the sixteenth century. , , . M. Octave Delaplerre, one of the secretaries oi tbe French Legation at London, and an active and learned member of the Philobiblion Society, has lust printed twenty-five copies of a curious and interesting essay, written for that society, in which he gives an account of all those visions of hell and heaven which have been seen at various times by religious enthusiasts. "Le Llvre des Vlflons en i'Enier et le Ciel decrits par ceux qui les ont vus," is the title of the narrative. These are not mere descriptions of heaven and hell, of which thousands were written during the Middle Ages, some of them with a pretense of scientific knowledge, but visions which the visionary believed himself, in gocd faith, to have seen not in dreams or in imagination, but by direct sight. Tbey occurred generally while the patient was in a state of catalepsy and seeming death, and when the isoul was supposed to be absent from the body. M. Gulzot has published a new instalment of bis contribution to the most popular litera ture ot the day that which concerns the origin and bistory of Christianity. , The volume is called "Meditations on the Actual State of the Christian Religion." The volume wbich he had promised on the origin of Christianity he has postponed for the present, probably to make it more responsive to Renau's "ApoBtles." The first part of the book presents the picture of the Christian revival la France since the beginning of this century. Tbe second offers a brief explanation and a judicious and rapid apprecia tion of the systems of philosophy, rationalism, materialism, pantheism, etc., that dispute the ground with rellgtou. The book is well written, and quite equal to the former volume of "Medi tations" publUhed last year. , Mr. Ralph Waldo Emerson, who has pub lished nothing of late except the admirable article on "character" In the last number of the North American Iteview, has been delivering -a coure of lectures in Boston and elsewhere. These lectures are announced forspeedy publica tion in England, nnder the name of "Philosophy for tbe People." . The titles of the lectures or chapters are: The Seven Meters of Intellect, Instinct, Perception, Talent, Genius, Imagina tion,! Taste, Laws of the Mind. Conduct ol the Intellect, and Relation of Intellect to 3IoraK We suppose Messrs. Tlcknor and Fields will soon announce the American edition, which is i robably printed in England for( the sake of cheapness. . , . - . . . , """"!

THE NEW YORK PRESS. rDlTORIAL OPINIONS OF LEADING JOURNALS UrON CURRENT TOPICS. rCMMI.ED XVI T VAT TOB XTKNIKO TXLIOlArit, The Consecration of Crime from the World. ' - , i We learn with some astonishment from the Philadelphia Journals tbat the bones of Prob .t. tbe young Getman who was hung In that city the other day for the cold-blooded murder of a whole family, are to be neatly set up on wiros, and preserved, in ceternam rei memoriam, la the collection ot the Jefferson Medical College. There must surely be some ' mistake bore. It is hardly possible that, for tbe mortal remains of a being of whom just before hi execution his attendant clergyman solemnly declared that he was "perfectly fit to approach the throne of his Maker," no better sanctuary can be found than the glass cases ol a student a lecture-room. When we ren-ember that great wars have been, in times past, waged between Christian communities lor the nossession of the relics of persona renuted surmrior to their le lows in thn t power and purity of their faithj when we con- . aider tbat no more than a year ago the head ot the Church at Rome could hit upon no better nay of testily ing his regard and affection for the exiled King and yuein of Naples than to present them with the newly discovered body oi an eatly Cbti tiau martyr: and when we ro iled upon tbe extreme improbability of dndhitr, more tLan once or twice, even in Philadelphia, a child ot grace "pertectly fit to approach the throne ot his Maker," we cannot refrain from protesting, in behalf of the spiritual inte rests of mankind, against the sacrifice to science and to curiosity ot these mortal remains of the glorified Probst. Such a mausoleum as the piety of Philip of Spain erected in the vaults ot the Duomo of Milan, to enclose in its shrine of virgin gold and glittering jewels the body of St. Charles Borro meo, would hardly have been too splendid to preserve tLls pure and wholesome memory. Edward I, "the Hammer of Scotland," enoined it upon bU sou and successor to carry his bones, boiled down and sewn up iu a sack of leather, at the brad of the armies of England, that the awful clatter of their coming mieht strike the rebellious Scotch into submission; and a similar disposition made of tbe bones ot Probst at San day School picnics might have turned them to good uses in the instruction ol tho youne. For merely anatomical purposes, the skeleton ot Probt can be of no greater value than that of any commonplace cbiisiiun who, after years of a bim pie aud honest li'e, unilluminated by the revelations ot inlanticide, passes away in a mo dest and trembling reliance upon the mercy of the Allwie. Arbogastus, an Irish saint, once Bishop of , Sulres, in Germany, desired, we ars told, at his death, that he mieht be buried n par the drIIows. It such a sepulture became the humility ot a bifchop, why should it not have De tit ted the merits of a murderer, upon whom the prospeet ot the gallows, earned by one ot the most cruel and revolting crimes which stain the dark annals of mankind, had wrought such a sur passing marvel of spiritual development as was borne witness to by the clerical attendants of Anton Probst ? . Juplice done to Probst in this matter, too, would be justice done to a whole class ! "latter-day saints" whereof Probst is only the most recent and the most shining exemplar. Mr. Green, the loyal postmaster of Maiden, in Mas sachusetts, who stealthily slew a youth confid ing in bis frie ndship in order that he might steal other people's money to pay his debts withal, and over whose untimely grave Mr. Wendell Phillips ha8 8tiewn such flowers of philanthropic sympathy; Mrs. Gnnder. of Pittsburg, in Penn sylvania, who rivalled tbe Volsin and the Bnn villiers m a humble way, and passed many j ears In the unobtrusive extermination by poison of a considerable circle ot her friends and relatives: Miss Harris, of Washington, who shot a .Treasury clerk in bis office to soothe her disappointed affections, and who, npon her acquittal by a weeping lury, was em braced with tears and kisses by ber counsel and by the Court these are but a few of tbe most firominent Instances which at once occur to us n illustration oi that recently discovered law of human emotions by which we find that the in dulgence of the most intensely selfish passions of our nature conduces directly to the unfold ing and blossoming of the soul's sweetest es sence, tits us to command the finest sympathies of our tellow-beings, and opens to us the pearl gaies of the better land, "on golden hinges turn lig." Of this law Victor Hugo is, undoubtedly, tbe most eloquent living teacher and prophet. The reverence in which it Is held throughout France is shown in the perpetual recurrence of Imy verdicts, in which individuals who beat their mothers to death with red cotton umbrol las, and roast their fathers alive in bay-ricks, aie found "guilty with extenuating circum stances." . . In onr own country, the progress of similar notions of crime In its spiritual aspects must, so lar.be carried mainly to tbe credit of the clerical profession. To ellVct the conversion of a brutal and besotted assassin into an Incipient angel, is such a piece of spiritual practice as may well tempt both the professional and the personal vanity of an average clergyman. The case of a Probst made "perfectly fit to enter the pretence of bis Maker," for example, offers a fascinating parallel to the "perfect cures" which make the lortune of an ambitious physician. Whether the carnal or the spiritual hygiene of the people at larsre is advanced by tue advertise ment ol such .marvels is, however, quite an other matter. - '. The greedy oy with which the multitude bans upon the tale, in -either Instance, would seem to show a popular belief that this is really the cane. i But if such be the popular belief' It is sad tbat men should be so inconsequential and illogical as to wreak an antiquated disrespect upon the early tabernacles of beings whose moral qualities extort lrom them homages which they of old time hesitated to bestow upon th e purest and the loltiest of men. i Expulsion of Turkey lrom Europe. from the Times. ' It has long been asserted in histories oi Tur- key that a prophecy was preserved by the reigning family to the effect that alter a certain number of centuries the Turks would be driven from' Europe; that In view of this event, for some1 considerable time, an especial sum of money was laid aside In the royal treasury. Whether the money still exists among the Sul tan's hoards may be doubted, but the prophecy teems at length about being accomplished ia this year, destined to be so full of events. It will be remembered that the two Princi palities at the mouth, of tbe Danube have been long under the protectorate of Turkey, each having a separate Prince or Hocpodar; thouirh eoutrary to the stipulations ot 115, the people at length united tne two provluces under oue Hospodar, Prince Couza. Finally becoming dissatisfied wtlh bim, they deposed him, and during this spring have offered a now crown and kingdom, with four millions of Inhabitants say as large as Now York State to a sin of Leopold ot Belgium. He declined it, and then it aa tor some mysterious reasons offered to a Prince allied with the reigning house of Priusla Charles, ot tho famous ioyal family ot Hohenzoliern, a ycung man of twenty and over, but a person ot much spirit and enter prlne. ... Hq accepted It at once, cros?ed, Germany in disguise, with only a carpet-bag in hand, went down the Danube, and suddenly appeared at Bucharest, and was crowned Prince ot the Prin cipalities with great reiolcings. This action of the "Ohristain" population ot these Provinces Is iii effect a revolution againct the Turks, and will .destroy their influence, and finally drive them both from this district and the neighboring counlry. It Is to be borne iu mind that the Turks, wvtu their wonderf power of governing , ; jjUXE 1C, 1S6G. i (which tbey have shown In all past history, and wbich belonged to them as a great conquering race , held millions of Europeans In subjection with only a few hundred tbou-and Turks. Though they have been in Europe for centu ries, they have always been merely encamped there. No good-will or interest, or useful works that tbity have done, or civilization that they have upheld, bind them there. They will with draw the r tew troops at length (It withdraw they must) with the curses and hate of tho various races they have ground down aud (ram pled upon. ; . The country on the Danube has now in effect revolted against the-Turkish Empire. Will Turkey suppress the revolt, or will she submit to the new Government and the young Prince suddenly crowned in this dramatic mmner? Will Austria endure an independent and new power at the mouth ot ber great river? Will Rasaia af!owanewobeiacle to be p'aced between ber ambition and Constantinople? Finally, yihat will assembled Europe say to thU new violation of the compacts of 18l"? The fact, too, of a Prussian prince thus suddenly put in power, In the rear of Austria, adds another ele ment of anxiety to the problem. The sympathy of Europe is undoubtedly with tbe gallant young adventurer who has so sud denly leaped Into tne arena, and borne off the prize in the midst of roost formidable rivals. And the very power of his antagonists is the safeguard ot the bold knight-errant. The first rumor was mat iirtkev was aDout to marcn an overhelming army into tne Principalities, and tatce possession. But this, aunin. is met bv the counter rumor that Russia and France protest auainst such occupation. Again,. if Russia invade, ivt only Turkey but Austria must oppose, as well as England and France, for fear of tbat power's paining a looihrld so tiearj to Constantinople. Or it Austvia should ocoupy the coveted pro v nces, she would not only have to tight the fieonle (who are bitterly opposed to her), but. n all probability, would find herself in antago nism with Rusria. And therein lies the improbability of ber ac cepting tbe principalities as an offset to tbe loss of Venetia. supfonna such a proposition should be made by the Conference of Paris, which, we do not believe. The strength of Prince Charles lies in the contests of his rivaU. The one result clear is that Turkey must in eflect abandon Euiope. No intelligent person in any country desires to see her corrupt rule and effete civil zat ion longer in Eastern Europe. The easiest settlement tor all the great powers is to leave the young Prince on his well-won throne. Then no one encroaching power will bold the mouth of the Danube or the road to Constantinople. The principalities may unite other neigbooring provinces with them, and a Greek Cbnstiau kingdom at length be formed on the Danube. Still, this tempting prize lies close to thee great military powers, and in a general Euro pean war might easily be swallowed up by any ore of them. Or its attractions aloue may en kindle the passions of some ot the combatants, and the great war begin there. We shnll watch the same with interest. Virginia. From (he Tribune.

But will tbe Inbune, or will anybody, viewing the matter with out prejudice or passion, tell us in wbat Virginia was wieng?" Answer. The Virginia Convention was abomi nably wrong in not recognizing the right ot tbe nation to exist. Tbat right inheres iu tbe very nature ot a Government, and no special charter or permit is essential to its exercise. South Carolina had said, months belore, "I will de stroy the Union, no matter though every other State should protest; fori will secede, ai.d there is no power to coerce me; and men the Union bMiisr dissolved bv one State the others f cuu have no choice but as to which fraction they win oeiong to." Virginia, in iun view ot inis action of South Carolina, elected, by a great popular majority, a Convention to maintain the union. That convention was ouined into be tiaymg its trust: and then her people were told "You may vote on the question of Union or Secession; but, if you veto for UnioD,' you vote to . betray your Southern brethren, who have come here, at the invi tation of your authorities, to protect and defend jou." "If you vote for the Union and are overruled, you must leave the State," said Senntor James M. Mason. "Let us all stand to gether," said Alexander H. H. Stuart, "and then we can make terms between the belligerents." (We give the iaea, not the words.) Thus tbe people ot Virginia were swindled into voting secession by deceiving assurances and mislead ing issuer. On a fair, square issue and a hear ing ol both siaes, she would never have voted herself out ot the Union.' We have heard that the 1 Ata was bought over to the side of Dis union, but aie not sure as to that. We know, however, that the secession of Virginia was the pioduct ot violence and fraud of deception and terrorism. It bas been a terrible lesson. It her tnult'was grievous, grievously bath-she an' swered it. Henceforth, be peace within hex borders and prosperity her lot ! Nebraska. From the Tribune. The latest despatches from Nebraska Terrl. tory state that tha State Constitution has been adopted, and that the Union party has a majo rity In each branch of the Legislature. The vote on the adoption of the State Constitution was not a strictly political party vote. We have received the following returns: VOTE OT BTATX CONSTITUTION. Cmintiei. Alai. .f.! Cbunries.
