Tims. -Whatever immediate results the great struggle in Europe may have, whether France shall make a desperate effort and throw back the invaders, or Napoleon be hurled from his throne and a provisional government erected, or Prussia be induced to make peace, holding the old Alsatian provinces as security for in demnification of the war expenses whether these or still more marvelous effects follow this brilliant campaign of the German forces one event shines forth clear in the dim future, crowded as it will be with grand achievements and the changing destinies of empires. It is that from this, the momentous year for many decades, and perhaps centuries to oome, a new great power lead European civilization. The leadership of Europe has been held in succession, or has been shared, by many of its chief nations. In the time of Henry VIII and Elizabeth, the controlling power of the civilized world was unquestionably Spain, or the Germanic Empire of which it was the head. For a period succeeding, Holland held the van of commercial progress, and controlled the ocean, followed by England. l?ut the struggle for the continental leader ship lay in general between Germany, al ways broken and at war with itself, and France, which made np for inferior numbers and power by the martial qualities of its people. This struggle continued with varying fortunes for centuries, Teutonic firmness, for the most part, repelling and quenching French ardor. The same battle-grounds which appear in this war have been stained, century after century, with German and French blood, and have been made glorious by the heroism and generalship of the great commanders of both races. Through all these years of contest, however, it can never be said that German', as a unit, was pitted against France. At length the democratic uprising of France, guided by the genius of the greatest military commander of modern times, gave that country the victory in the century-long struggle, and put Germany under her feet. France wbb now at the head of Europe. After Napoleon's fall, England may be said for certain period to have been the control ling European power, until the vast popula tion of Russia and the increasing respect for her military force placed her at length iu the front rank of the great powers. During the last fifty years, however, England has gradually sunk from her position; the Crimean war and her internal difficulties have displaced Russia; and, until the victory of Sadowa, the increasing wealth and power of France, with her cen tral position and the audacity of her military chiefs, had given her the pre-eminence in Europe. During the sixteen years before 18iG France was unquestionably the leading power of the civilized world. And however we may admire French genius and capacity for organization, all must admit that the great influence of this brilliant people was thrown on the side of the worst evils of civili zation of standing armies, of fettered presses, personal government and Giesarism, as the best form of political administration. Wherever France should control, whether in Italy, or Algiers, or Mexico, or 'Spain, there would prevail "Napoleonic ideas," govern ment by one for the sake of one, military glory, a universal suffrage of the ignorant supporting a military cmel, ana all tne op pression of free thought by an Imperialist rule. Her leadership in Europe has been a hindrance to true progress and civilization. The victory of Sadowa showed a new and formidable rival arising into supremacy. Since 1812-14 Germany had hardly been known as a power on the Continent. For a brief period then, the great German masses seemed to unite, and, despite all divisions of government and religion, to hurl themselves as one power on the invaders. The fruits of this great popular uprising, instead of cementing union, seemed only to increase separation and strengthen despotism in the fatherland. Through all succeeding changes the one cry and passion of the German peo ple has been for "unity." But even revolu tion did not give them that, and it was re served for an arbitrary statesman and an absolute sovereign to win for Germany what her people could not gain, a popular unity. The natural results of the brilliant campaign of 186 weTe to sweep away all the petty barriers of government and ceremonial which had so long sepaaated German communities, and to make Germany, from the Baltic to the Maine, one nation, and the rival of France in European leadership. The campaign of 1370 will do more. It welds Germany into one compact mass from the North Sea to the Bava rian Alps, and places this vast community at the head of European civilization. No such grand and momentous event has happened sinee the overthrow of France in 18H. A Teutonic instead of a Latin race leads Europe, and nationalism in place of Ciesarism, parlia. mentary institutions instead of personal go vernment, peaoeful development under con stitutional forms, rather than military glory and Imperial rule, will now be the models presented to the world. Teutonic serious ness, Teutonic love of liberty in Church and State, and the Teuton's dispo sition for peace, (unless he feels his rights trampled on,) will be the qualities of the ruling race. The Latin races have done their part and not always an inglori ous one in the world's history. Now more earnest and moral and free races must guide the helm of progress. Protestantism and parliamentary government must lead Eu ropean advancement. By a marked coinci dence the Pope ceases from his temporal power with the fall of C&sarism. A new European era opens, with a vast Germanic State controlled by parliaments and without standing armies marching at the head of civilization and progress. INCOMPETENT DOCTORS. From the A. F. Tribune. The public felt a slight shiver of distrust last winter when it was shown during the examination of a person in Philadelphia, charged with furnishing fraudulent diplomas of medical colleges to persons who wished to start in business as doctors of medicine with out previous study, that the diplopias were genuine, and the accused divided the proceeds of the sale of the parchments with the col leges that issued them. In short, he was a broker for the institutions; he procured the customers at prices agreed upon for their diplomas; the colleges themselves filled in the names, which he furnished, upon the honor ary sheepskins; and the "graduates" were tutu duly constituted, having authority to practice without a particle of medical study pr knowledge. But the proceedings of medical collages, it rr.ay be inferred from the sta'.ucat3 of oue of their number, of which an abstract is given elsewhere, scarcely indicate a much higher standard of scholarship as a requisite for graduation, in many instances, than would be obtained by selling diplomas outright. A student may walk through their course of lectures for ten dollars, and graduate on just about t6U dollars' worth of know ledge. The depreciation of instruction keeps pace with declining fees, "poor pay, poor preach" applying to teachers of medi cine as well as to ministers of the gospel. For more than twenty years the Ameri can Medical Association has struggled to prevent the progressive decline in the stand ard of education required for graduation in many medical colleges, and has at length re signed the eff ort in despair. A competition between these institutions as to which shall have the greater number of students has re sulted in lowering at once the fees and the scholarship required. This brings in a class of students who have scarcely acquired be forehand more than the rudiments of an or dinary education; they attend the lectures not to acquire knowledge, but to obtain a diploma; they ultimately "practice" not so much the healing art for others as the money making art for themselves. Some day these evils will work their own cure. The public, warned ty shocking cmes of malpractice, will inform itself ' respecting the character of the education conferred by diff erent colleges, and be guided accordingly in extending its patronage to practitioners. It may be that diplomas and collegiate honors will altogether fall into disrepute, the best being dragged down with the worst, so that the family physician will hereafter be selected not like a servant girl upon a "recommenda tion," but like a business agent upon what can be ascertained of his merit and capacity. Or it may happen that the extended facilities for manufacturing doctors will increase their number and diminish the coat of their ser vices. Then fathers may begin to doubt the value of the profession as a means of ad vancement for their sons, and the budding sawbones may be sent to the farm or the workshop. In the last case there could be but little question of the benefit to the comma city, both by the increase of productive work men and the decrease of youthful experi menters on vital proc esses. TnE "RELIGIOUS" PRESS ON THE WAR. From the Baltimore Sxtn. We find collated in some of the New York papers extracts showing the light in which some of the denominational journals of the country look upon the terrible tragedy now enacting in Europe. It is surprising and de plorable to see such events treated from a sec tarian standpoint. It is to be hoped that even among men who do not profess to be governed by religious principle few would fail to look at the suffering millions of Ger many and France through the medium of humanity, and to exemplify practically the true spirit of Christianity by remembering that the masses on both sides who are fighting, suffering, and dying are alike our fellow-men, and entitled as such to our benevolent sym pathies without reference to their nationality or religion. Yet some of the class of journals referred to seem to treat this as a religious war, in which Roman Catholics are arrayed on one side and Protestants on the other, and Bhout lustily for whichever party they assume to uphold their own Church, and exult almost insanely in its triumph. Some of them even go so far as to justify wars, and to rejoice in them, as necessary to human progress. However consistent this might be in the jourtals of Europe, where Church andState are united, and politics and religion are mixed up in men's minds even-where, it is altogether contrary to the American sense of propriety. It would be reasonable to suppose that enough bad been lately seen of war in this country to disgust every one with it, though it is un fortunately true that many so-called reli gious newspapers never threw oil at any time upon the waters of our internal discord, nor have seemed to appreciate aught but the poetry of battle, which, however, may have arisen, like most ignorance ot tne true char acter of war, from a persistent failure to ascertain its character by personal observa tion. It is surprising to see any of the so called religious press taking sides with the European combatants on party grounds, as if either party represented anything truly re ligious. "From whence come wars and fightings among you," says the volume which they profess to be the rule of their actions. "Oome they not hence even of your lusts that war in your members ? Ye lust, and have not; ye kill, and desire to have." That is the true source of most wars, and of none more than the present, which some of the. religious newspapers persist in looking at through denominational spectacles, being unable to see the great wrong which our common humanity is suffering, as it has always suffered, from the ambition and greed of rival aspirants for supremacy, most of whom, from the earliest ages of the world, would be perfectly willing to swop off their religion, if they had it, for the consolidation of their power or perpetuation of their dy nasty. These denominational zealots have no eyes for the tens of thousands of poor artisans and peasants torn from the benefi cent pursuits of creative industry, and having no personal quarrel, yet forced to rend and tear each other, for the behoof of ambitious men, lying around the once peaceful field, with arms and legs shot off, or bowels pierced by bullets, writh ing in agony like trampled worms, or praying for water to cool their burning thirst, or for death to come and end their sufferings. This is quite a minor feature of the contest in comparison with its bearings upon the de nominational ideas and aspirations of jour nals which, notwithstanding their frequent predictions of the millennium, are using what influence they possess to defer it as long as possible, and who are given to quoting from the Book of Revelations, in the true spirit of, the "apocalyptic ignoramuses" of Dr. Scott's time, to show that either Bismarck or Napo leon is prefigured in prophecy. When those who claim to be leaders and teachers of the people look at things from snch.lights, it is no wonder that the masses are so often misled, and sometimes misled to their ntter ruin. WHY WENT nE FORTH ? From the N. T. World. The Rev. Dr. J. P. Newman has evidently fmt himself in a very ridiculous position. It s his claim that he waa challenged by Brig bam Young to a discussion on polygamy in its social and theological bearings, and, to beat down tne mystery of iniquity and the abomi nation of desolation in its very seat, departed for bait Late City. Arriving there and wait' ing on Brigham to arrange the terms of the polemic duel, he is informed that the Mormon prophet has never issued him . any challenge and will not enter on tne proposed discus sion, though if he (Dr. Newman) so wishes the Tabernacle is open to him to preach against polygamy aud Mormonism to bin heart's content, and also that ten thousand Mormons will assemble to listen to hU argument. Qa receiving tkU CQtiactitbc, the Doctor pnta himself in marching order and tramps off home, to bewail, of course, as his auditors in Washington will doubtless find to their sorrow for many a Sabbath day, the wof nl blindness which permits Wisdom to cry out in the streets of Salt Lake City with no man regarding her. Already, in fact, the first whispers of this wail are npon us; but the question arises, What is its justice? What did Dr. Newman go to Salt Lake for ? If out of a mere lust of victory, and to show how far superior he, the learned doctor of divinity, the gentleman and scholar, was to a mere shrewd impostor and fanatio like the Mormon prophet, then, on being refused an opportu nity to win those foreordained laurels, it accords with the fitness of things he should have left the field. But if his purpose was, from a sincere conviction of Mor mon error and a hearty desire to wean some of its victims from its influence, to let the truth be known to Utah as far as he could spread it, why did he not accept the use of the Tabernacle, and there, in the very sanc tuary of a false creed, demonstrate to ten thousand of its followers the wrong and folly of their ways? It cannot be said that the learned doctor feared for his reception, since the very occasion of his visit was to appear before a Mormon audience. That he would combat error with Brigham to defend it. but would not combat error olm, leads to the in ference, therefore, that the vainglory, the advertisement, the trumpeting through the papers, the theatrical covp of a hand-to-hand battle with the great Brigham, was Dr. New man's sole animating call. If so, the fury with which he rushed forth to Utah without ever learning authentically that Brigham had issued him a challenge and it appears the Mormon never authorized one and the haste with which he comes racing back to mourn Mormon deadness, are equally absurd and fantastical. Brigham or no Brigham, if the truth stirred in him, why not preach it in the Tabernacle thrown open to his use ? And if the truth stirred not in him, why did he stir at all ? , THE IMPENDING MOVEMENT IX ITALY. From the A. T. Herald. Our latest advices announce the imminence of a popular movement in the democratic sense throughout the Italian peninsula, and add the significant expression that the procla mation of a republic there is awaited from day to day. This news chimes in singularly with the more detailed intelligence just re ceived from the same' quarter by mail. The journals of Florence, Milan, and Naples, mention the revival of agitation both North and South. In Lombardy the Mazzinians, led on by Menotti Garibaldi, are vigorously at work, and depots of arms and ammunition concealed by them have been discovered by the police in every district of the city of Milan. In Rome, so soon as the telegram announcing the with drawal of the French garrison was made public, masses of Romans were seen shaking bands with each other and interchanging salutations in a suppressed voice. The Holy Father himself, in conversation with a for eign diplomat, is said to have remarked that only a second Montana could recommend him to the forbearance of the Italian troops, and that was out of the question, since it would require a third French intervention a thing clearly impossible. Meanwhile, twenty thousand Italian regulars, under General La Marmora, have been thrown forward toward Viterbo, preliminary to a friendly occupation of the Roman States, and the Papal Govern ment is concentrating all its troops in the city and hastily repairing its fortifications, while every effort is made to supply the places of the many French and German offi cers who are withdrawing from the immediate service of his Holiness in order to take part in the struggle at home. The convention between France and Italy for the evacuation of Rome, recently devised by the French Emperor on the one side and Generals Menabrea and Nigra on the other, and conveyed to Florence by Count Vioier cati, explicitly contemplates an offensive and defensive alliance between the two powers; the restoration of the convention of Septem ber 15, 13(14, to all its force and bearing; the protection of the Papal See against every species of insurrection and violence, and the granting of a loan by France to Italy, These specifications have, of course, awakened the ire of the Italian radicals, and their organs throughout the country are in full cry against the royal government. The comio papers, which are widely circulated and wield in fluence in Italy, represent the latter in the form of a beautiful female asleep, while the hands of Napoleon III and Victor Emanuel are seen joining in the distance. A man of the people calls on her to awake. This ap- Eeal to popular passion, sustained, as it is, y the entire radical press, has not passed unheeded, and violent demonstrations are in progress against any movement on the part of Italy to interfere in the German-French war. Nevertheless, the Turin papers state that orders have been issued to all the railway authorities of Northern Italy to hasten their arrangements for the transportation of the new contingents of men just called out for army service, and in all the chief cities of the realm bids are requested for heavy military supplies. These preparations, in view of the peculiar financial and social condition of Italy, are not made without an eye to busi ness. The hour is undoubtedly close at hand when the gentleman king wUl be forced along with the popular tide to make Rome the civic capital of Italy, or to suppress, if he can, the uprising of the radicals with the red right hand. In either case, should Napoleon fall, the spirit of the old S. P. Q. R. the Senate and people of Rome combined in a republican commonwealth will be hovering near. Whether Pontifical exorcism will be directed, or even be required against it, is a question not difficult to answer in republican America. TnE FRENCH ARMY. From the Dotoi Traveller. It is just one year since the French were engaged in celebrating the Centenary of Na poleon the First, the hundredth anniversary of whose birth fell on the 15th of August, 18C9. Could nonie power have unrolled the scroll of fate before their eyes, and so have showed them what a year would bring forth, it is possible that they would have been astonished, but their astonishment would have been caused by the apparent impudence of the power that should have afforded them a look into that shadowy and mysterious future which lies all unexplored before men. Not a Frenchman would have placed any faith in the prophet, who would have been more fortunate than wise prophets often are had he escaped Stephen's fate, which was death through the disagreeable process of lapidation. And all the world would have said the French were right in not believing him, for the mili tary character of France stood high at that time, and with reason. No better proof is wanted of this than the general surprise cre ated by the result of the righting that took place week before last, a surprise quite as walked among l'rusaian sympathisers ua it was among French sympathizers. It hits been sought to account for what happened by saying that the military reputation of France was undeserved, and that in fact she had no army worthy of the name. This seems plausible enough at the first blush, but it will not stand examination for one moment. We know that the French army did good things in the Rus sian war, aud that some of the very men who now speak contemptuously of it were never tired of comparing it with the British force it acted with, and always to the disadvantage of the latter. The men and the commanders who fought with brillinnt success against the Russians, then held to be the first of military races, must have been good soldiers; and the effect of that war was greatly to increase the spirit and audacity of the French service. We know that the French army behaved splendidly in the Italian war, and that it de feated the Austrians, though not without hard fighting and great exertions, in two great pitched battles, and on lesser fields; and that at the same time that so large a part of it was employed in Italy, another part of it, said to have been 200,000 strong, was so mossed as to be ready to make head against the Germans, who were anxious to prevent the overthrow of German rule in the Italian Peninsula this last force being commanded by Marshal Pellisier, who had his headquarters at Nancy, the very place which is now of so frequent mention in the daily history of the Prussian war. We know that for some years past the attention of the French Government has been closely directed to military subjects, and that it has had the service recast, as it were, so as to make all the able-bodied men of the Empire available for the work of war, while it has provided a new infantry weapon of excellent killing qualities. Such being the Tacts, the idea that the French hnd not an effective force on foot when the war began must be given up. France had such a force, and one abundantly capable of doing all that soldiers can be expected to do. Why. then, did it fail ? Because it was badly led. "Better an army of deer with a lion at their head than an army of lions with a deer at their head," is a saying that all military history justifies. Napoleon III is no common man, but he does not pos sess the military faculty; and hence, instead of adding to his army by heading it, he para lyzed it by his presence. He lost days, when he should have saved hours; and this made his men all the more unfit for action, for sol diers are sharp in estimating the character of a commander, and the feebleness of the head was felt throughout all the limbs of the great force that had been assembled so promptly to do nothing; for it does not ap pear that anything had been resolved upon down to the 4 th of August, when the Prussians advanced; and had they not advanced, there would, it is probable, have been no fighting down to the present moment. The Emperor was averse to put ting everything on one throw of the bloody dice, and for this he scarcely can be blamed; but it was a monstrous exhibition of human folly when he left his men in positions that enabled the enemy to cut them to pieces in detail. There is a wide difference between the prudence . that prevents an army from advancing against a power ful enemy, and the sluttishness that leaves an army exposed to such an enemy's advance upon it. Had the French army been so posted as to have been able properly to receive the most powerful assaults the Prus sians could have made upon it, the Emperor's prudence in not invading Germany would have been praised, for then the Prus sians would have been repulsed, and their rashness, and not his slowness, would have been censured by all men, and particularly by the friends of what then would have been the beaten cause. The Em peror was guilty of two gross blunders the one involved in the loss of time, and the other in the bad arrangement of his forces. For the first it may be possible to find some thing that will Berve for an excuse; but the other never can be excused, for it involved a disregard of the very primary elements of military business, and did more than half the enemy s work to his hand, and made his victory a matter of necessity as well as of certainty.
