A GENERAL EUROPEAN WAR EXPECTED. —
The New Yolk CYumcr says that their private
advices from Europe are more belligerent than
the general reader would infer from the tone
of the public press ; and it should excite uo
surprise if at an early day a general European
war should become inevitable.
A private letter says: The geueral quiet
may remniu undisturbed for months ; it is cer
tainly within the chapter of probabilities that
there may be no war. But 1 tell you fraukiy,
all the probabilities are against any such sup
position ; aud you must be prepared for an ex
plosion at any moment. In my judgment a
general war is inevitable.
A letter from l'ans says, that bankers, ec
clesiastics, diplomatists, merchants, soldiers
aud civilians alike seem to hold but oue lan
guage—that the year 1860 cannot close with
out a war with England.
The bad temper that is exhibited between
France and England — the warlike feeling of
Switzerland and Austria towards France — the
hostile attitude of the Pope towards Prance
and Sardiuia — together with other visible
symptoms of discontent and animosity, indi
cate that the apprehensions above expressed
that a general war may at any moment break
out, are not without good reason.
NEW TERRITORIES.—A telegraphic dispatch
from Washington says that the five new Ter
ritories which the House Committee on Terri
tories propose to organize, contain respective
ly the following number of inhabitants :
Cbippea, from eight to ten thousand ; Nevada,
about the same number ; Dakota, eight thou
sand ; Idaho (Pike's Peak), fifteen to twenty
thousand, and Arizona, six to eight thousand.
Each of these bills contains the following pro
viso : Provided, that, nevertheless slavery has
n'o legal existence in said Territory, and noth
ing herein contained shall be construed to au
thorize or permit its existence therein.
SEQUEL TO A TRAGEDY. —Our readers will
generally remember the Mercer and Heberton
tragedy ihat occurred iu Philadelphia many
years since. A man of soinc wealth and so
cial position, named Heberton, had seduced
Miss Mercer, a young woman of seventeec,
and refused to repair the matter by marriage.
A brother took vengeance into his own hands,
waylaid the seducer in a ferry boat, and shot
him dead. For this he was tried for murder,
and acquitted. Since that period he led a
wild career, and finally, about two years since,
was shot in a restaurant in Philadelphia. The
sister was married a few years subsequent to
the death of Ilebdrtcin, lived Unhappily with
her husband, was divorced, and we find her
death recorded in an exchange. The whole
family have now passed away.
Captain Farnnm, of the Wanderer,who
has been confiiifed in jail during the last six
mouths, was released Thursday, at Savannah,
by some fiiends; and an attempt by the Unit
<d States marshal to rearrest him was resisted
with revolvers. The marshal finally compro
mised the matter ; and Earnum is to appear on
Wednesday next and give bonds in tbe sum of
$:;,ooo.

" Oh, we shall rtlourn liini long, and niisa
His ready stuile, his ready kiss ;
The patter of his little feet.
Sweet frowns, aud stammered phrases sweet.
And graver looks, serene and high,
A light of heaven in tliat young eye ;
All these will haunt us, till the heart
Shall ache and ache—and tears shall start.
The little bow shall fall to dust,
The shining arrows waste with rust;
But he who now, from sight of men,
We hide in earth, shall live again.
Shall break these clouds, a form of light,
With nobler inein and clearer sight ;
And in the eternal glory stand
With those who wait at God's right hand."
