from the Tribimt.
The brief announcement made through the
Ocean Telegraph that Austria bad acceded to
the proposition made bf Prussia for a tempo
rary cessation ot hostilities though wo have as
jet no confirmation of the reported treaty of
peace, is continued by the arrival of the China.
There has been no pausing with Prussia, but
she has Inexorably crowded her vanquished
ally to the wall, until Austria, humiliated and
prostrate, cries for quarter. Flushed with oft
repeated successes, spurred fir ward with the
hope of glory and aggrandizement, victorious
I'ruesla Jtopped not in her triumphant career,
but continued to press onward regardless of
French protests and wishes, or the dislike of
Though Francis Joseph's defender encoiin
tcred a mot-t Biriou defeat on the 3d lust., we
have not beeu prepared for t be announcement
t such a rapid aud long-continued thht on
their capital, and the sudden aauouQC'incnt of
a trnce. Compelled to fall back before their
victorious antagonists, it yet seemed as if a loot
hold would be secured within the bouuds of
Bohemia lor the vanquished.
Not so, howtver. The Amtrlans have con
tinued their retrograde march, aud by their
general course thus tar have recalled with pniu
lul vividnca an untoward period in our own
struggle. We allude to tue Peninsula cam
paign, i-cneial Ueuedek, resting ou the borders
ot fcUleula iu masterly inactivity, and with
closed moutu, may be compared to Oeneral
HcClellan on the tmuks of tbe (Jtiickahorainv.
Though his antagonists were marching nd
countermarching, audi, converging their col
umns, ifeuedek continued to remain inactive.
But it was all tor a purpose so the worl I was
inlormed. The Austrian commander had a
great plan in his heaJ, a great project ou foot,
( and when, atter alt the complicated parts of
the brilliant programme had beeu per ected, he
did move, it would be straight iutj Berlin. Ail
this time the Prussians were permitted, as were
the Kebels by MuClellan, to drawn in and
concentrate their iorces, and everything being
in readiness, Frederick William hurled his
legions upon Beucdek a la Oeuerul Lee.
Whatever may be his sympaiuy, every specta
tor can but aim ire the wonderful push aud
energy which Prussia has continued to display.
Our advices leceived last week left her vic
torious soldiery at isrunn, within two days:' casv
rnaieh of Vienna, aud close by the lamed field
ot Austeihtz, on which Napolcou sixty years
ago overthrew in deieat tilts Austrian aud Uus
sinu Emperors. By uu aiis of this rapid move
ment they not only iecured onu of the lines ot
railway leading Irom Vienna to Prague, but
threatened the other passing through Olm utz,
and to a certain extent divided anu distracted
the Aubtriun forces.
When Stonewall Jackon with his column of
30,0110 men struck McClellan's right wiu.r, be
rolled the beoiegers back in confusion and
slaughtei, and settled the fate of the campaigu.
In the same manner the Crown Prince ot Prus
sia was allowed to reinforce the Prussian ten,
and, crushing through Benedek's right, to turn
what at, tir.--t promised to be a victory into a
terrible deieat. McCh-Uan was pu-hed aside,
and Jjee marched northward to the very eates
' of the Federal capital. Betiedek, iu a cor
. responding manner, fell back to the eastward,
leaving the country onen to the victors, who
have marched upon Vienna. So much for
"masterly inactivity," and "prospective, strate
gic, aud tactical maiueuvres." Austria has dis
covered to her cost, us we did, that such kind
oi generalship al ways entail deieat and disaster.
Immediately lolloping these events the Prus
sians attacked and routed tne Austrian wing
remaining bick at Olinutz, and gamed posses
sion ot the remaining road. The deteii'ed Aus
trians tnen retreated 111:0 Hungary, making a
Bemi-circu!ar sweep lor Vienna, while the main
body of their army tell back upon that city.
The Prussians continuing ou alter the latter,
following them down both these lines of rail
road to the junction atLuudenberg, aud thenee,
doubtless, to the Danube, where Francis Joseph
in hrs recent address to the citizens of Vienna
stated that he should make a stand. IIerj the
belligerents were ma-sme ull their lorces lor
the hnal struggle when the propositions for a
cessation ot hostilities were received by Francis
Joseph.
lie did well to accept of them instead of repeat
ing his unwise course in regard to tho Paris
Conterence. There was but one of three alter
natives lclt to him either to risk all on the fine
ot another battle, to retreat rapidly into Hun
gary, abandoning Vienna to its fate, or to
arrange a peace. After encountering so many
disasters, another defeat would certainly have
proved latal to him. By retreating into Hun
.'irary he might have avoided a lresh engagement
until his dishearteued troops had recovered
something ot their morale, and received fresh
accession of numbers; but he would have been
leaving an ni linos ot communication in tne
enemy's hands, and only postponing for a few
weeks at the longest the final isue. Francis
Joseph has, therefore, we say, acted wisely in
acceding to tho terms proposed by Prussia,
Though we have not as yet received the sub
stance ot the terms, it is sate to assume that
Austria is no longer to constitute a nart of tan
German Confederacy; that Prussia has expressly
stipulated that there shatl be a new Herman
Union, irom which her ally is to be debarred.
maid tits m art to a Frencn gentleman a few
days ago: "Sixteen years ago J conceived the

Germany from Austrian pressure; that part ot

and in crest is clearly allied with the late of

Prussia, while we may expect to see a very large
majority oi tne uerinan peo.de willing and do
slrous of being represented In that body. The
new Union will comprise all the States ot Nor'h
ern and Central Germauy, with the exception of
tne Duchy oi Limburpr, which, the people being
jjurcn ana nor uerman, t'russia win not he te
eirous of having embraced in the new Bund
' Already we have seen a dlsnosition on the part
ot the conquered States to submit to the new
order or things, while It is reported that Prus
sian successes have even developed a Prussian
party in Vienna. Animated by their long-
entertained hopes of a United Fatherland, the
.Northern Germans at least ate seem nclv dls
posed to acquiesce in any instrumentality which
shall hasten the fulfilment ot their dream ot
unity to bow tor the present beneath the iron
roner wnicu, inroiigb crushing out tbeir sepa
rate autonomy, will yet assimilate them in one
grand Fatherland. As they witnessed with
apparent luditlercnce tho nerinatetie movo
ments of their petty princes Heeing before the
Prussian advance, so they now evince no deep-
aeatea nostiiuv to ljismarit's course, unscrupu
lous and wicked as they have been accustomed
to regard tne man.
Oar Neutrality Xaws-Mexico and Mail-
miiiau.
from the l imit.
It is more than probablo that had Congress
' passed the bill which was pressed so persistently
' upon It, to guarantee a loan to Mexico of fifty
Millions of dollars, the greater part of the
money, or at least as much of it as was not
immediately seized by "peculators, would have
been employed in this country In the setting'
up of filibubterlng expeditions against Mail
milian. It ntver wax mB'le to appear precisely
who was to have the handling of the money,
or to the service of which of the factions that
claims to be the legitimMte republican Govern
ment of Mexico it was to be put. The niibjoct
was dealt with in very vaeue terras anu w i.i
not know that a bill of equal importance, and
appropriating so much money, waever ueiort?
attempted to be put through Congress upon
which the public was able to srer so imre b'.
It was never shown, either, to what specitic
purpose tho money was to be pur or in wnai
way it was to be used lor aiding and establish
ing the down-trodden cause of republicanism in
Mexico. , .
We are probably not lar astray, now ever, in
nirmising that a coalition wot.id have been
patched up in the name of the different Mexican
lections wnoe lenders are now in this country,
and a second combination between these lenders
and certain American "iriends ot Mexico," and
that between all of these the disbursement of
the fifty millions would have been practically
carried on. Mexico needs but two thiucrs to
effect her freedom from forelcn d im'nation
arms and fighters. She possesses neither one
nor the other to anything Hire the extent re
quired, and fho cannot obtain either one or the
oiher any v here but in this coun;ry. There
are plenty ot men in tne united fnates who
are eager to take hnnd in the work of
driving Maximilian into tie sea;" and with
fifty million dollars, or even ball of that sim,
to be used in rurchnsinu arms and providing
transportation, a very formidable lighting force
Fi'tv million dollais". as we showed when the
bill to furnish it was still pending, would do
little enough in the way of raising, equipping,
and support ng a native republican army in
Mexico itscll; but men enough could be lound
in this couniry who would require no prelimi
nary tiaining aud disciplining as soldiers, who
would do their work wu hour much in tne way
of Immediate wages, and would have principles
of military, political, and natural cohesion such
as are ossrssed by no force w liich could ever be
raised in Mexico Itself, and used as soldiers. All
that is requued tor them is organization and
opportunity,
ibis opportunity or the opportunity for tili-
btisterirg expeditions would have been fur-
uished by the passage oi tne measure tor tne
repeal ef the neutrality laws. Tliis scheme had
tbe same origin ns the Mexican Loan bill, and
there is no doubt that tbe one was intended to
have a direct and vital bearing upon rhe other.
It doubtless had other purposes than this; b it
that this would have been one of the ends
quickly served by it, no one will deny who is
inlormed as to tiie schemes 1.1 reference to
Mexico that have been planned in this country
within the last year or half year. With ;he laws
at present upon our statute-book properly en
forced, it is utterly impo-siblc lor anybody other
than the Government to concoct or cairv on.
d rectly or indirectly, any military expedition
to operate beyond cir own borders.
It is unite possible that in some respect our
laws are too stringent, particularly in iciereuce
to ihe sale and transler ot arms and shins; but
so long as the.v remain unaltered, the Executive
is bound to euiorce tneni, and tue present exe
cutive, at least, has shown that thisenlorcemcnt
will be as rigid as their own terms, it was ab
solutely essential, if the Mexican Loan b.ll had

from the Herald.
vnh the adioiirnmeiir ot the present ( ougress
the issuts which it has raised with the AriminU
trarion are carried directly before the people,
The constitutional term of this Congress does
not expire till the 4th of March next, but the
popular judgment upon its sins of omission and I
commission will determine, In the approaching
Congressional elections, the important ques
tions, whether the policy ot the radicals is to be
continued or overthrown; whether the present
demoralizing reign of radicalism is to be per
petuated . or superseded by a great reaction of
puonc opinion resulting in a wuoiesome politi
cal revolution.
Let the tree be nidged by Its fruits. Ihis
Thirty-ninth Congress, in its long session of
eight months, has fully developed tuecnaractcr
and quality of its leading men and meastues,
its plans aud purposes, it merits and dements;
and by us lrtnts let it stand or fall. It has had
atpicnnid opportunity iorooing great tniugs
lor the country and lor winning goiuen opinions
irom nil classes, parties, aud sections; but
what has it done? What have these eight
months of Congressional legislation produced
for the relief ot the Ireasury or the people?
Nothing literally nothing. Ihere was a hue
opening and an urgent necessity lor a general
Bankrupt law, but alter dilly-dallying from
time to time witn tnis important matter
it was at length laid on the table, to bo
taken up for action at a more convenient season.
Then, aeain, we had expected something in the
way ot a healthy revision ot our national nauic
and paper money systems from top to bottom,
w beieoy tne puonc creaii wouia oc nxeu upon
a mere soua iounuaiion, mm irom wuicu
wentv. thirty, forty, or titty millions ot money
now parcelled out among the national banks
and brokers, shavers, and jobbers, would be
secured to the Treasvry jbut between tbeiobbcrs
ol Congress aud the brokers ot the Treasury De
partment nothing in the way ot reform or reiiet
upon this momentous business has been done.
Men ot cool rellection and experience, before the
meeting of this Congress, had enteitained the
Idea that we were on the high road to low
prices, easy taxes, and specie payments; but
Irom the first Monday iu December iast down to
this day tht'e delusions have taded away, till
nothiuer of them remains. Ou the other hand,
cool, experienced, patriotic, and dispassionate
men are begiuning to doubt very seriously tho
stability aud security ot our nnanciai system.
with tne uovernment divided ana ciasnine upon
all tbe great issues oi the day, like a house
divided against itself, and with a radical majority
in Congress resolved upon its reconstruction
party policy of rule or ruin.
The return of peace sucgested to Congress a
lightening of our war burdens of taxation, great
retrenchments, in all the dcpartaients ot the
(jlovernment, and laree suvn.e ot money in tnis
way towards the extinguishment of our three
thousand ol millions ot natioual uebt. But what
his Congress done In this directum? Nothing.
Our Internal Kevenue Tax bill has been revised,
but its taxes remain substantially the same,
with the addition of one cent a pound upon
hoine-Brown cotton, towards the encouragement
oi the cotton culture In other countries, as if
Congress desired to cast away the commercial
halbnce of power which we bold in this great
Southern staple. Inttead of retrenchment, in
the next place, ihis "historic Congress" aa it is
called, in a Buncombe electioneering amend
ment to an appropriation bill, in th" shao of
soldiers' bounties (which the poor soldiers will
be cheated out of by claim agents and other
shamersi. has made a dralt upon the Treasury
tor two or three hundred millions of dollars;
and upon this Buncom be amendment another has
uen tastened raisin? the pay of the members of
Congress themselves Irom three to five thousand
dollars a vear. This Is Concessional retrench-
m nt. a illustrated in this wasretiu and extra
vagant Congress.
Aud what has been done in the way of South
em reconstruction by tins radical anu revolu
tionary Conerese? The most of the se-sion has
Wed expended In committees and invest Igatlons
in resolutions, report?, and debate, never end
in nd sMl beginning, but practically the two
Home bave done nothing npon this subiect
except the re-enactment of what the President
hnd cone before. In their war upon the Admin
istration, in their efforts lor the indefinite exclu
sion of .he excluded States, the radical Stevens
and his followers have only made contusion
worse confounded, and created embarrassment
and d ssensiotis wnere harmony otherwise might
have prevailed; so that from tirst to last this
late long session ot Congress has been produc
tive of nothing bjt a new crop ol politcal
difcords, disordered and dangerous agitations.
Snail such a Congress with such a record be
indorsed by the people in the coming full cle :
tionsf This Is tho great question now betore
ttiocounliy. Arc the people prepared to raMty
a ;onqressionai system oi reconstruction wnicu
politically and financially is manifestly carrying
u, people, treasury, and Government, hcadmng
in the downward reaa to revolution, oanit-
rutitcy, and anarchy. This Is the quesiion
whcli the people are now called upon to con
sider in view ot tne elections tor the next con
gress. Is this Government, resting upon the
Constitution, to bo rnnlntained, or is it to be
superseded by a consolidated despotism in Con
gress? This is the problem involved in tlieso
approaching eleciions. Bolicving that the crisis
requites it, and that the people understand it,
we believe that we nre approaching the inaugu
ration of a great political revolution, and that it
win oe broadly developed in these coming elec
tions for tho Fortieth Congress.
Mr. Scwaid and the Cable.
Frrm tlit World.
"If dirt were tramps," said Charles Lamb to
a not very dand tied friend with whom ho was
ploying whist '"if dirt were trumps, w hat hands
you would hold!" "If words were cannon
balls." In like manner we may say to Mr. Secre
tary Seward, "what a terror you would be to
the 'effete aristocracies' of Europe !" The meek
est and :nost accommodating foreign Secretary
we have ever had in hi substantial dealings
with foreign States, Mr. Seward is also th ter
rible, truculent, and pedagogic in his oratorual
and oracular utieiances concerning our loreigu
relatioui. Mr. Cyrus Field having sent a des
patch to the State Department announcing the
successful luring ol the Atlantic cable, in which
he rather oddly expressed a hope that Secretary
Seward might "never have occasion to regret
what he had cone to es nblish communication
acroxs the Atlantic," Secretary Seward avails
himself at once of the opportunity to rap Eu
rope over toe KDucisies. "ii tue Atlantic cable
had not failed in 18'8," says the cx post facto
prophet of Auburn, "European Slates would not
nave been led, in ISG1, into the great error of
supposing that civil war m Anieuea could either
perpetuate A mean slavery or divide this rt
public." V
II t lie Atlantic cabl "hud not tailed in 1858,"
one ol its nrst messages to hurope in 18t;i would
have been that Mr. bewara looked u con seces
sion us n trivial thing, not much of asho'ver,
and certain to blow over harmlessly "in ninety
days." it we uni posfesseii n tiaiiy teicgrap.uc
communication with Europe iu lsci, the pro
babilities iill are that Mr. Seward would have
kept up such a steady battery oi imbecility and
lnipertuw nee upon our legations aoroad, and
the foreign offices of Eugliud and France, as
must have led to tb? lccovuition of the Confede
rate States and a war with the Western powers
ot Furopo two days ulier the first battle of Buil
Jain.
