War or Peace in Europe.
Nt*w.n from Europe poors in Upon us with
fulness and rapidity. We have English papers
to the P.Uh of .March inclusive, by the mad
steamer I'd si t.
Respecting the war-question, there continued
to be various speculations. The British <fnv
eminent haverepeuted their declaration in both
Houses of Parliament, that they still saw no
reason for apftrehettatug that the Emperor Na
poleon would break faith, and precipitate a
war in Italy. Lord Vowley, the British Am
bassador uf- Park had brought with him t'u'l
assurances from Vienna that the K upemr of
Austria would act only upon the defensive.—
This might be expected ; he. is more likely to
be attacked than tc attack. All that he de
mands, or expects, is full power to rule Aus
trian Italy just as he pleases.
Prussia and England,shouM hostilities com
mence, may be expected not to interfere unlc,
their own interests are assailed. Prussia uas
Ho location whatever in the south of V irope ;
wh'le England, though with no I'al : ~i posses
bions, has such resting places n.-> dibraltar,
Malta, and the lonian Isle,ids. Time was
when a sword could not drawn, nor a shot
fired, in Europe, but England was certain to
bristle up, like an irritable bull dog, and rush
into the contest-, scarcely earing on which side
fhe fought, so that she fought, and reckless of
the cost, thongh when she came to pay the
bills her people grumbled terribly, and protest
ed that never again ahou'd the mere thirst of
what is called "glory" lead them into such an
expensive scrape.
Russia is said to have intimated that Im
policy, unless force,l to deviate from it, will be
strictly neutral. Yet it is reported that the
Czar has strictly prohibited the sale of horses;
which, as Austria wanted to purchase, shows
no very friendly feeling. Austria, France and
Sardinia are undoubtedly strengthening their
armies, and making great preparations—to be
readj in the event of hostilities breaking out.
It is stated, from Paris, that on the recent mar
riage of Prince Napoleon with the Princess
Clotilde, a secret treaty was made, whereby
France promised to support Sardinia against
Austria, whatever should happen, securing to
Sardinia all conquests in Lomhardv, providing
that Savov and Nice be transferred to France.
The doubtful thin;* about this is, that the par
ticulars of such a treaty, if it had been made,
would have been Sept very secret. — I'ress.
EXCTTIVG SCEXE.—CAPTCRK OK AN* ALLEGED
FUGITIVE STAVE.— Considerable excitement was
created about ten minutes before seven o'clock
this morning by the capture of a quiet and in
offensive colored individual, in tiie Market
House, by United States Deputy Mar-liui
Jenkins, assisted by two other officers. The
unfortunate colored man was immediately rush
ed to the depot and placed 011 board the train
which was to leave at seven o'clock for Phila
delphia, without being afforded an opportunity
to say a word to a single friend. Upon hear- j
ing of the capture, \y.' at once wended our way
to the depot, and, after some hesitation, the j
Marshal condescended to show 11s hi- warrant,
which hnd been issued by the Slave Commis
sioner, Hoke Longstreth, commanding the j
Marshal to capture one Daniel Dangerfield,
late of the State of Virginia, setting forth
that he was the property of a certain Elizabeth
Simpson. Consequently these officers came
here and captured the individal in question, !
without producing any evidence whatever that
he was the man whom they were ordered to
arrest, and dragged hirn before a heartless
Slave Commissioner in the city of Philadelphia
where he has little hopes of a fair and un
biassed trial. The person arrested has been
living, for a number of years, with the Pvit' er
fords, a few miles from town, bears an nnex
ceptionable character, and has proved himself
an industrious man. He has boon married
about six years, an 1 had two children, both of
whom are dead—the last one dying only last
Friday. The news of the capture spread rap
idly through town ; and upon coming to the
ears of his wife, she at once fled to tbe depot,
and arrived just in time to take a last farewell
look at her husband, who was sitting quietly in
the cars, manacled in irons ; and there we be
held a most heartrending scene. The unfor
tunate wife gave vent to her feelings of sor
row at being thus suddenly separated from her
husband. Her piteous cries brought tears in
the eyes of many bystanders, who had before
calmly looked on. If this man had been al
lowed a hearing here, no one would have com
plained. All the testimony in bis behalf could
have been procured here without expense or
trouble ; while rn the other hmul he will be
ushered before a strange tribunal, where none
of his friends can be present. A gentleman
here at once telegraphed to a distinguished
member of the liar in Philadelphia, and we
•hope the benevolent people of that city will
s-e that sotuc show of justice is done to the
unfortunate colored man.— Ifarrisburg Tel.
MR. C >R ocas', who expended from SIO,OOO
to 20,000 to elect IJiicliHtian, never crosses the
threshold of the White House : while it is
whispered along the avenue, that .John 11.
Thompson, of New Jersey, one of the most
faithful adherents, has at last become disgust
ed with the hollow-heartedness of the Execu
tive. The Washington correspondent of the
J'kitadf.lphii J'ress says that no nun cm ht
pointed uid reha is sincerely attached to James
Buchanan, ei'her in "Washington <>' elsewhere.
At his own home in Lancaster, lie has scarcely
a friend. Hard.y a Lancaster face is ever
seen at the White House, and none of the men
who are known to have adhered to the for
tunes of the President in those dark day-,when
he crouched at their feet begging for their sup
port. What the condition of affairs is in
Philadelphia I need not repeat. Even the
people who hold offices under him, while they
may fear, do not admire or esteem him ; and
of those who do not hold office, scarcely one
can be found among those who were proud to
be numbered as his friends three years ago,
who does not express sorrow or indignation at
the course he has pursued. In Washington, I
venture to assert that the President cannot
point to an honest personal friend. Messrs.
Hright and Slidell are supposed to be the
nearest to him, and yet those who know these
gentlemen shrug their shoulders at the slight
est suggestion of any cordiality between them
and the head of the Government.
NEXT to A MIRACLE.— Mr. ILTIIANAN'S Ad
ministration has done what everybody, until
within the lust few months, deemed absolutely
impossible. It has incited a large Dumber of
its friends to iook to General PIERCE asa Pres

counterfeit lias just been detected attheTreas

of a $5 piece, the exterior of which is pure
gold, plated upon an alloy, of which gold
seems to be the base. The coin contains about
three dollars' worth of pure gold, and is of
such really superior execution as to make it
pass readily for genuine. It was detected by
tlie treasury experts in consequence of a slight
flatness at the edges, but which would escape
unnoticed in its ordinary circulation.
CO- Later intelligence from the Sandwich
Islands states that the volcanic eruption, pre

announce the arrival of the missionary brig
Morning Star at that port for repairs. This
is the vessel built by the contributions of the
Sunday School children on the Atlantic States,
and sent out to the Mieronesian Islands. It
appears she is a wretched swindle ; her timbers
being rotten, and the materials in her construc
tion being the refuse of the ship yards.

millions of dollars*—the payment to be guaran

to inaugurate an emigration movement on the

FROM HA 11R IS II
[Correspondence ol the Bradford Reporter.]
H IRKISBI KG, April 1,18O!>.
K. 0. GOODRICH : —The committee of Ways
and Menus have reported resolutions auth
orizing the appointment of a committee to
purchase a lot of ground adjoining the Execu
tive mansion. The House refused to proceed
to its consideration. The prevailing opinion is
that enough has already been expended for the
executive grounds in that locality. The pur
chase will not be made this year.
The same committee reported a bill author
izing the State Treasurer to pay the Towanda
Bridge Company the balance due them for re
building said bridge. The bill was taken up
on Tuesday and passed. It goes to the Senate
for concoirence.
The bill requiring the Wiiliamsport El
inira It. R. Co., to fence their road has been
lost in the Senate by a tie vote. Mr. MYEK
thinks it will be reconsidered acd hopes it may
yet pass. I have but little confidence in the
Senate when a railroad company and the peo
ple are at issue. Mr. MYER made a strong
appeal for its passage.
An act to estab'i-h the " Pennsylvania In
dustrial Reform School" has passed both
branches of the Legislature. It is a very meri
torious bill, and it is hoped it will soon go into
operation. Its great object is to establish a
school for the " physical, mental and moral in
struction and reform of destitute, ignorant, idle
and criminal persons,"—such as may voluntari
ly place themselves under the care of the uian-
agers, or may be referred to them by the
Courts as fit subjects for reform.
The bill appropriating $1,200 a year, for five
years, to the Westminster college, for educa
ting teachers, was vetoed by (Jov. PACKER.—
Upon the vetoe a spirited debate ensued, when
the (Jov. was sustained by 52 to 24.—Right !
The Free Banking Law has been under con
sideration in the House. After much skirmish
ing and promiscuous firing, the bill passed to a
third reading, when the House refused to sus
pend the rules and read it a third time, it re
quiring two-thirds to do so. The prospect now
is that it will pass the House. It makes the
State and United States stocks the basis of all
banking. A synopsis of the bill would require
too much room for this letter. I doubt its
passage through the Senate, as that body lias
once voted down a bill very similar.
The Senate has had the General Appropria
tion Rill under consideration, and has mtitila
ted it very much, whether it has been improved
is very questionable. It will require some time
to adjust it to the satisfaction of both Houses.
The city of Philadelphia has monopolized the
time of the House for the past ten days, not
in passing bills for her especial benefit, but iu
wrangling and quarreling over those of very
doubtful utility. Rut very few important bills
were passed during the week.
The bill giving .Justices, with a jury of five,
power to hear and finally determine the smaller
grades of crime, has been again reported by
the select committee to whom it was referred
with a slight modification It is made the
special order for this atteruoon, but I cannot
wait to give you the result ; it is thought now
that it will pass the House.
An act to create a new judicial district out
of the counties of Clearfield,Elk, Jefferson and
Forrest, underwent examination in the House.
ROSE, of Mercer, appealed to the Republicans
of the House, as such, to oppose the new dis
trict. This was very properly rebuked by Mr.
KINNEY who said it was the very last argu
ment that would iudcuehim to vote against the
bill; he had too much regard for those demo
crats holding seats on the floor who had the
honesty and courage to rebuke the outrage at
tempted on WII.MOT'S district last winter, to
now strike a blow at their proposed district
upon political grounds ; he should probably
vote against the bill, but it was because the
district was entirely unnecessary, and not be
cause it would result in placiug a democrat on
the bench.
The FRY divorce case has got up to fever
heat. It seems to be a question of character
on one side and money on the other. It is an
attempt to heal and cover up the loose virtue
I of a vain, half-witted girl, at the expense of
all that is valuable to a man in this life—a
good character. The longer actiou is delayed
' on the bill the surer it is to pass. A reduction
of the bulwarks of right and justice, seems to
be a question of time only, " Money is power."
Gov. SEWARD had a party yesterday at Gen.
CAMERON'S. There was a meeting of strauge
elements—the "higher law" and "fugitive
slave law," the high tariff and the low tariff,
the unwashed democracy, and the black repub
iicaus, Irish whiskey and native American wiae.
SEWARD looked well, felt well, and talked well
—said he did not know who would be the next
President— Strc vge!
Senate is threatening to reconsider and ex-
I tend the day of adjournment—hope not! The
House will clear up its tallies—the Senate will
be three or four hundred bills behind. Folks
say its a lazy Senate. Yours &c ,
PETER KLAUS.
! THE LEAVEN WORKING. —We notice that
I the Albany organ of the Hon. DANIEL E. DICK
-1 INSON, in, New York favors, with considerable
emphasis, the movement of Col. FORNEY aud
Gov. PACKER, of calling a Democratic Conveu
i tion iu this State, of the oppouent3 of Mr.
BUCHANAN'S administration.
MR. GIDRINGS, writing to the Ashtabula
Sentinel on the day of the adjournment, ex
presses the opiuion that the XXX Vth is the
last Democratic CoDgress to assemble iu the
United States. He thinks, moreover, that the
Democracy have nearly given up the idea of
browbeating Northern Representatives, such
scenes having been removed from the House
I into the Senate.

this point, though not so much as in other years. Hold

great amount has yet been purchased. However, as soon
as a regular price is fixed, it will be disposed 01, as there

fistD™ The Rochester (Ind.) Gazette, states
that, about five years ago, a man calling liim
\ self Alonzo Morgan, accompanied by a woman
who passed as his wife, moved to that place,
where they purchased a farm, aud lived appar
ently in a respectable rnanDer, until about a
year ago, when Mr. Morgan died. The widow
said that he had no heirs,but herself,and accor
dingly administered thepropertj. About three
mouths since she took a second husband, and
everything was apparently going on well, when
i there arrived in town two persons in search of
a Mr. Alonzo Green, who had disappeared from
, the State of New York iu 1854, aud had not
i since been heard of. One of the strangers
j claimed to be Green's son, and stated that his
, father had, in the above year, eloped with a
• niece of his wife, a Miss Emma Lanfrheir.—
Tue newly-married widow Morgan was at once
identified as the erring Miss L., and the identity
iof Alonzo Morgan and Alonzo Green satis
factorily established. The guilty woman was
' willing to make an settlement, and surrender
notes and other property to the rightful
claimant. Out of $3,000 taken by Green from
, New York, his family will recover about sl,-
' 200.
WHO ARE THE NIGGER WORSHHTERS ?—The
lion. OWEN LOVEJOY, of 111., iua recentspeech
in the House of Representatives, thus describes
a party which is not so strong in the country
as it once was :
|
"The Slavery Democracy prates and chat
ters about 'negro equality,' Black Republicans/
and ' nigger stealing,' to use its classic phrases
and improved orthography. It has or affects
to have, a great horror of ' niggers." And
' any one who advocates the principles of human
Freedom, as they were enunciated aud laid
down in enduring forms by the Fathers of the
Republic, is a ' wooly head,' and these same
Democrats have learned to speak of them with
a peculiar nasal twist. You would suppose
j that these gentlemen, whose olfactories are so
j sensitive and acute, never saw a nigger, except
in a menagerie. And yet, would you believe
it! the very first service rendered him on earth
is performed by a nigger ; as an infant, he
draws the milk which makes his flesh and blcod
and bones from the breast of a nigger ; looks
! up in her face and smiles, and calls her by the
endearing name of' mammy," and begs, perhaps,
in piteous tones, for the privilege of carrying
' mammy' to the Territories ;he is undressed
and put to bed by a nigger, and nestles during
the slumbers of infancy in the b:som of a nig
ger, lie is washed, dressed and taken to the
table by a nigger, to eat food prepared by a
nigger ; he is led to and from school by a nig
ger ; every service that childhood demands is
performed by a nigger, except that of chastise
ment, which, from the absence of good manners
in many cases, it is to be feared is not perform
ed at all. When down appears on his lip, the
tonsorial service is performed by a nigger ;
and when he reaches manhood, he invades the
1 nigger quarters to place himself in the endear
ing relation of paternity to half niggers. Final
ly, if he shonld be ambitious, it may occur
that he will come to Congress to represent a
constituency, three-fifths of whom are niggers,
and talk about ' Black Republicans,' 1 amalga
mation,' 'uigger equality,' 'nigger stealing,'
and offensive odor of niggerism."
A LOVER OF PEACE MARRYING A DUMB WO
MAN.—A man Darned Thomas Gait was mar
ried yesterday by Justice Hanselfuan to Sarah
Jaue Auderson, a deaf mute. Some curiosity
was excited by the fact of his marrying a wo
man who could not speak, and a constable
asked him the cause of his doing so. Gait
auswered that he had had two wives already,
and they gave him uo rest by reason of their
talking ceaselessly, and complaining aud scold
ing from morning till night. Both had died,
aud now, as he was forty years old, and desir
ous of having a little peace for the remainder
of his life, he had determined to select a dumb
woman for his third connubial partner,— Cin

DIES,
At Browntown, Bradford County, Pa., Feb.St
the residence of Mr. Eli Crufut, Mr. GECUtrpuiu l
MONS. li j '' *•
Mr. S. was a native of Germany-was born about the
year 1802—but came to this tomitry some years since t,
follow his trade—(clock raaker); but the Yankees rr V
them so much cheaper that he failed in business, andb
come a poor man. Lately, he has made an honest lir .
by tinkering clocks. He has one son in New YorkanJ
one in California, He also stated tliat he had aintall
piece of land—about 15 acres—in Liberty, Ti U( . a euuw '
Pa., with a block house upon it. His effects consisted uf
his clock-tools, which are in the hands of the Poor-mas
ter.
We have reason to believe that he was well cared for
by Mr. and Mrs. Crofut, notwithstanding his extreme
poverty. His funeral expenses were paid by the town
He seemed patient in his sufferings, hut seemed to regwt
that ever he should cause any trouble which he could not
fully recompense. Many, alas I would drive such an ob
ject from their doors, to die in the streets, and daunt
the following at his burial:
" Rattle his bones over the stones,
He's only a pauper whom nobody owns'"
But is this the principle of the Golden Rule ? "He that
hath mercy on the poor, happy is be."
