Tl Threatened War between Prussia and France- The Sltuatlou from au American Standpoint. from the limes. Why Bhould the prospect of a war between J'rusMa and France cause uneasiness and ex citement In the business circles of this coun try t why should values and prices be alTectod, or why bhould gold quiver and the finances be disturbed ? What ground id there for believ ing that war would produce any such derange went in our commercial and monetary affairs as to justify this preliminary sensibility in view of its threatened approach ? Last summer one of the greatest and most important wars of modern times broke out between two of the great European powers (we refer to the war between Prussia and .Austria) a struggle in which two armies of the strength of a quarter of a million of men apiece fought out victory and defeat on the fiild of adowa a war in which one of the proudest empires of the world wa3 humbled and dismembered, and in which fundamental changes were wrought in the map of Europe. And yet though besides the two main comba tants it 'involved Italy, and came near involv ing France, it had hardly any perceptible in fluence from beginning to end on the business or financial relations of America with Europe. Our Government bonds held in Europe, and held mainly in Germany, where hostilities were carried on, instead of going down during the progress of the war, went up fully live per cent.; and gold in this market, instead of coing up during the war, went down fully live per cent. These remarkable and memorable facts are worthy of being recalled at this moment, and certainly should not be over looked by those whose fears are constantly wrought upon by the speculative and sensa tional despatches that are daily received from Durope. We know well enough that a war between Trussia and France would bo a different affair from last summer's war between Prussia aud Austria. Hut we see no reason to suppose that the difference would necessarily be of such a character that the former must produce disastrous consequences in this country. In some respects it may be harder upon us, but in others it assuredly looks loss threatening than did the war a year ago. The coming war (if thus we may speak) is likely to cover wore time than did the war of last year; but there are many reasons to doubt its being a long war. It will take no time to bring the opposing forces in front of each other, and it will be against the precedents as well as the necessities of the day if it take auy great time to bring about such trials of Strength as must soon demonstrate whose must be the triumph. Recent history fur nishes very striking examples of how peoples not less brave than the French, and quite as determined as the Prussians, have very readily succumbed before that which they saw it was futile to resist; and we have even seen how wen not less long-headed than Napoleon, and with quite as penetrating a vision as Iiismark, way be quickly brought to acknowledge ac complished tacts, when they discover it is impossible to refute them. This is pre eminently the genius of modern times, and the last three great wars in.Europe give proof that it has had more than one opportunity of displaying itself. It is altogether unlikely, if a war breaks out between France aud Prussia on the Luxem bourg question, that it will involve either of the other three great powers of Europe. So far as that matter is concerned, it may be con sidered assured that neither England nor llussia will take part on either side. We have beard (through the newspapers) of active efforts being made by both Prussia ami France to secure an alliance witn Austria, ana we Lave heard, now of the success of one and now of the other. But we see as little reason to believe that Austria would allow herself to be used by France as by Prussia, aud it must be remembered that the policy of Von Beust is altogether against permitting Austria to be dragged iuto war at this time on any account. Several of the lesser States might be forced to participate in the quarrel, but as regards 3('.urope at large a duel between France and l'russia alone would be more in keeping with the logic of the times. Such a war during the coming summer a war of boundaries between two contiguous States should not, in the nature of things, produce any overwhelming effect upon the fortunes of America. If other matters like the "Eastern Question" were to arise simul taneously with this, we should doubtless feel a greater revulsion; but the present uneasi ness is caused solely by the probabilities of a war between France and Prussia, concerning the Fortress of Luxembourg; and if we travel beyond that, we get into a region of political Speculation where all is dubious, and in which the value of nothing whatever is established. Neither our commerce, our finances, nor Cur general business can be said to be at all seriously threatened by the impending Franco 3'russian war if, indeed, it really be impend ing. Our relations with England, which are more important than those with all the rest of Europe, would not be interrupted. Our com mercial exchanges with France would only be affected in so far as the industrial economies of France might be diminished. The German holders of our bonds, in whose hands they ap preciated during the great war of last summer, would not throw them away in case of another war this summer. Nearly all our cotton crop of last year is now marketed, and we may ex pect that the war, if it come, wil? be over before we have another crop ready fo.r market. In fact, in whatever light the question is Studied, we cannot see that, as things now stand, there is any necessity for overpowering apprehensions on our part in case France and J russia should try the value of the Chassepot (uiu mo uueuie-gun. France and Prussia. from the Herald. Our cable news for the last few days relat C A - 1 1 "B 10 me Franco-Prussian difficulty has been in uiu iasi degree exciting. The Luxem mmrg quesuon, which has towflmd into huee proportions, has been the all-absorbimr tonic of discussion. In all the money centres-in Paris, in London, in Frankfort-stocks have Ueen rising or lauing, according as war ap pearea more or less imminent. One teWrm Informs us that war is inevitable and M.o the money market is dull. The next twram encourages the hope that peace may be pre- perved and that the money market is more Jiuoyant. Thus day after day has suspense leen maintained and anxiety deepened. As the case now stands it may be thus stated: The Emperor Napoleon is determined THE DATliT EVENING TELEGRAPII. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, that Luxembourg shall be a French fortress at least that it sliall Dot be Prussian; Count Iiismark is determined that Luxembourg shall be a German fortress under Prussian ountrol, at least that it shall not be French; and the other great powers, anxious to preserve peace Jointly, propose a plan by which the difficulty may be got over and peace preserved. What that plan is we have not been told. We only know that while Napoleon is willing to aooept the proposed arrangement Bismark disap proves of it. Peace, on Tuesday, was almost despaired of, and on the London Stock Ex change the tendency was to financial panic. A late cable despatch announces the arrival in Paris of Marshal McMahon, Duke of Magenta, from Algeria, and that all furloughs are to be ended and the reserves drilled. Negotiations had not been broken off, but war preparations on both sides were being hurried forward with all possible rapidity. So the matter now stands. Our next telegram may bring us the intelligence that the difficulty has been got over, or that the two largest, best disciplined, and best equipped armies of modern times have met in mortal conflict, and that war is raging on the ancient battle-field of Europe. in the absence, however, of positive evi dence to the contrary, we are unwilling to believe that the mediation of the other great powers will be in vain. The ostensible ques tion at issue is not of sufficient importance to justify a war which, if once begun, is all but certain to sweep, conllagration-like, over the length and breadth of Europe, and to prove more disastrous than blissful in its conse quences. All fire is destructive, but all fire is not purifying. It is the same with war. Some wars benefit while they destroy; but some wars are destructive only. There is no doubt a question of right involved in the Luxem bourg affair; but in the interests of mankind at large it is a matter of comparative insignifi cance whether the fortress shall continue to be the property of the King of Holland, or remain in the hands of Prussia, or be handed over to France. The inhabitants of the duchy are the parties most immediately interested; but war, if it be commenced, will neither be begun nor carried on in their interests; nor will their wishes in any way be advanced by the result, whatever the result may be. What chiefly lends interest to this question and invests it to a certain extent with world wide importance, is the bearing which it has on the relative chances of success of the two great political schemers of the age. The game, which is yet far from concluded, has been long and keenly played. How it is to end it is ex tremely difficult to say. The probabilities are so numerous that he would be a bold man who should venture to tell beforehand on which side victory was to lean. If l'russia and France should go to war on this Luxem bourg question, it may hasten the final issue. If this difficulty is got over and peace main tained for the present, the issue may be de layed, but the diplomatic struggle will not the less continue. Prussia and France have openly assumed the attitude of antagonists; on both sides feelings have been embittered and pas sions roused; nor, so long as Napoleon and Bismark preside over the respective nations, do we see how a collision is to be ultimately avoided. War alone can determine the rela tions which new Germany and old France are to sustain to each other. Sooner or later war will be felt to be a necessity. But this Lux embourg matter is not a casus belli which public opinion will sanction for the present or history justify in the future. We conclude as we began. We are unwil ling to abandon the hope that peace may be maintained; but it will not surprise us to learn at the earliest moment that the first shock of arms has been felt. It may, wo think, be safely doubted whether either Napoleon or Bismark is, in present circumstances, person ally desirous of war; but a necessity is laid upon both the one and the other which neither is able to master. Napoleon has the Exposi tion on hand, and peace is necessary to its success. Bismark has the consolidation of Germany on hand, and peace is necessary to its success. But the proud spirit of the French people is roused, and refuses to submit to fur ther insult; the German populations are united as one man against the alienation of one inch of the territory of the Fatherland; and it is by no means impossible that the interests of the Exposition will have to be abandoned by the one and consolidation plans given up by the other, in obedience to the force of deeply loused popular feeling. A compromise, and therefore peace, is still possible: but the pos sibility does not appear to increase as time advances. Errors Excepted. From the Tribune. The Commercial Advertiser ("T. W.") fully admits the accuracy of my statement as to his rage excited by Mr. William C. Bloss' rebuke to the spirit of caste displayed at a church communion in which he participated. His ex planation of it is: "We were opposed then, as we are now, to amalgamation. In this we dlU'ered with Mr. hlobu, Mr. Phillips. Mr. TUton, and Mr. Greeley, lieyond this boundary, we have no 'prejudice ujialust negroes.'" Here we have a key to what is meant by "amalgamation" at least, to what "T. W." means by it. It is "amalgamation" to protest against dividing off, in the house of God, wor shippers according to their color. If so, the Roman Catholic Church practises amalgama tion; for that Church knows nothing of a votary's color, treating blacks and whites ex. acflvjalike. If that is amalgamation, we uphold it. If a white man chooses to have colored children, we prefer that he should marry their mother. But we would advise whites and blacks alike to have wives and children ot their own race exclusively. We firmly be lieve this to be best, and yet we should hesitate to impose on others by a criminal statute conformity to our own tastes in the premises. - ... , ... . , , 1 1 1 , L T.

Then the Editor of the Tribune is not "ultra-Abolition." for he was not "kept out" of Connecticut in the memorable struggle of march, lfcOJ: and amoncr the most nersistent and i'"iuiar canvassers lor the uepunucan ticket in that struggle was Anna Dickinson.

We seek, therefore, to dispel It, aud we trust not without success.'' That was our view from first to last it is that which we expect to live and die in. The war for the Union was not offensive but defen sivethe Hebellion was simply slavery de manding and fighting for an increase of its power. It became necessary to strike at the effect (Rebellion) through the cause (slavery); and we early aud earnestly urged the adoption of that policy. We insisted that this was not perverting the war for the Union into a war for the negro, but, on the contrary, converting the negro into a potent weapon of defense for n,c t .... ... vuppurueaus contested tuis view vehemently, with some aid from zealous but maladroit Abolitionists, and still more from T. W., who perversely adopted their view of the matter, and whose occasional bul letins went the round of their journals as fast as issued, serving them most effectively. It seemed a sad pity to see whatever ability and influence lie had put to such a use. T. W. proceeds: "Hut where was Mr. Greeley's friendship for 'negroi's' while he was deluding secession; when nesald tnnl slave Mates had a rlht to go In the lretloi Ih; w hen he endeavored.bv severing the Union, to consign millions of h'1iv, and their millions of ollsprlnfr, to the Buuckle and the li sh 'forever aud eve:- ?' " T. W. knows better than all this; knows that the right we have ever upheld is that affirmed by our fathers in the preamble to their Declaration of Independence, when they declared that "governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed," and that this consent they have a right to withdraw. We caunot renounce tho doctrines of the American Revolution in deference to any political exigency. But we deny that Rebels were "the people" or even the States of the South we insist that the Rebellion was the fruit of conspiracy, violence, and terrorism, overbearing and suppressing the real judg ment of a majority of the Southern people, who would have voted it down at any free and fair election prior to the inauguration of hos tilities. Fort Sumter was cannonaded and re duced expressly to "fire the Southern heart," and thus prevent the imminent collapse of the Southern Confederacy. Were we unwise in presenting our view of the fundamental question 1 Consider that, the moment Mr. Lincoln's election was assured, the North was summoned to make new con cessions to the slave power, or fight for the Union. To our amazement, T. W. was found backing this demand nay, urging that the Republicans should consent to run the slave ,u y"" union wnen lie b Id them 'ti.id Htiee.d line clear across the continent, and concede all our territory south of the parallel of 3G deg. 30 min. to slavery forever t To do this was to insure the ultimate conversion of all Mexico and Central America, with Cuba, into additional slave States of our Union. To this fearful concession to any concession that would give slavery another foot of free soil we were intensely hostile. Yet stocks were falling, business paralyzed, local elec tions going heavily against us in Northern communities that had just given large ma jorities for Lincoln, and all Industrial interests shrinking from the prospect of a vast civil war. If a poll could then have been had on the question, the free States would have given a popular majority for the Crittenden com promise. It was our task to stem this head long torrent, and save the nation from com mitting a gigantic crime. We did this, per haps not so wisely as another might, but with such wisdom as we had. We said in sub stance, "Not another inch of free soil to slavery rather let the South go, if there be no other alternative." Let those who did better (not T. W.) take credit for their superior sagacity or courage. T. W. continues: "And where, also, was Mr. Greeley's love lor the Union and sympathy for the slave when, in the darn day of the war, he demanded from the Government 'Peace upon the best attain able terniH?' We all know that the 'best attain able terms' were on acknowledgment of tho 'Southern Confederacy,' witn slavery and the (slave trade!" It is a lie with circumstance that we ever demanded " peace on the best attainable terms." The article whence these words are wrenched was a plea for calling out additional forces, reinforcing our armies at all points, and striking quick and heavy blows at the forces of the Rebellion. In this way we believed signal successes might and would be achieved as they were. We added that if, having put forth our utmost strength, we found it insufficient to wage successful war, we would then make peace. Why not f It is as well to let T. W. get all this foul Btuff off' his stomach. Here is the last of it: "And even at a later day, while on the eve of a u or ous tnuinnn or our arms. air. ureiiey rusbed to Canadu.cuddllng with traitors for u dlsurucelul pence, finally closing hi9 craven and cowardly labors by 'imploring' President Lincoln to oiler four hundred mlllious of iol lars to Slavery, lor pence, at the moment that Grant, 1-arruKUt, Thomas, and Sheridan were striking down both Kebclllou ana Slavery wuu their swords." Mr. Greeley only " rushed to Canada" when President Lincoln directed him to do so, and then sorely against his will. His "cud dling with traitors" required a second urgent request from Major Hay, the President's Secretary and special envoy. Up to the hour of Hay's arrival on the ground, 1 had had no interview, and only the most iormal cor respondents with any Rebels whatever. Iheir overture came to me unsolicited and unex pected; I forwarded it to the President, but made no response to its authors till directed to do so by Mr. Lincoln. It is a special lie that i "implored" the President to offer $400,000,000 for peace, though I did suggest to him the wisdom of offering to pay that amount, in case the Rebellion were given up and the Union restored, as a compensation for the slaves of ltwl slave-owners, not of the Rebel States exclusively, but of all the slave Status Had that proposition been made and accepted the national debt would have been far less to-day than it is, to say nothing of the saving of many thousands of precious lives, aioug with the hundreds ot millions' worth of pro nertv destroyed in the last months of the war And the offer I suceested. had it been made and refused, would have weakened the Rebel lion more than anv Union victory did.

Seldom, if ever, have there been so many transactions in real estate as at the present time. The list of tranfers now daily published in the World, shows that these transactions are not confined to a single district of the metro polis, but extend all over the island. High prices, too, are paid for houses and lots in localities whore one would supposo that the value of property did not materially increase from one year to another. ' In Chrystie street, for instance, we notice a sale of a house and lot 25 by 100, for $34,000; while the north east corner of Delancoy and Ludlow streets, 19 by 75, is valued at $!j0,000. Purchasers and sliers of property in this city, by care fully reading these lists of transfers as they daily appear in this jouinal, will at once ascer tain the true value of property all over the city. In this connection it may be stated that no doubt with an eye to future improve ments for business purposes houses in Grand, Wooster, ureene, ana ouuivau streets seem to be in demand, while present owners, well aware of the constant march of trade towards that section of the city, are not at all dis posed to part with their old "rookeries" at a bargain. Thus, a house and a lot in Wooster street, between Houston and Prince streets, is disposed of at $20,500, and one in Grand street at $19,000. Of course, the vicinity of University place, Union square, and the Fifth avenue commands the very highest prices of real estate in the market. Thus, we noticed the transfer of a house and lot in Fourteenth street, near University place, 45 by 10G feet, for $:100,000 ; and, at the same time, one in Seventeenth street, near Fifth avenue, for $0'5,000. For the next ten years at least, if not for a longer period, Union square is to be the heart of the city. There and in its adjacent streets. the retail shops, the places of amusement, the great restaurants, the club-houses, and the prominent hotels will centre, and at least one third of the people's money will be expended in that vicinity, either for ladies' bonnets and dresses, or for gentlemen's dinners aud wines, and music for both. In previous articles we have shown that among the go-ahead caterers for amusement and fashion there is just now a perfect furore to be located somewhere near the square; but our list of transfers at the same time demonstrates the fact that, with all this moving up town of all sorts of business, good prices, nevertheless, continue to be paid for down-town property; $20,500 is the price of a house and lot in State street, near Whitehall, and $34,500 was paid the other day for a house ana lot in uuane street, fashionable resi dences up town, of course, easily command high prices, and $79,000 for the southwest corner of Madison avenue and Fortieth street is considered by real estate brokers a "mode rate sum." This being the case, the sum of $(0,000, which was paid the other day for the northwest corner of Nineteenth street and Fifth avenue, must be considered quite "mode rate." We take these prices at random from the list of transfers, as printed daily in this journal; and as thry are official, we cannot go behind the ngures, even it there is an apparent discrepancy, as in the above instance. There does not appear to be much of an increase in the value of Harlem and Yorkville property just now, and there probably will not be until our Albany or city Solons agree upon some sort of a steam railroad which will onvey residents there, in a reasonable time, to their business in the lower part of the city.
