FOR GOVERNOR, GEN. JOHN W . GE A RY , OF WESTMORELAND COUNTY. EUROPEAN WAR. A war in Europe seems inevitable, and already the armies of the contending par ties are taking position on the vulnerable points on, or leading to, the disputed terri tories. The question with the American reader is, " What is the direct, or immediate cause of this war ?" And while it is quite visi ble that territorial aggrandisement, or the ambitious projects of the ruling sovereigns of Europe, is alone the real eause of the war, yet each side lias so befogged the question with belabored arguments, that most people as remote as we, are at a loss to determine what Europe is going to war for. We now sit down to illustrate this, and we do not know that we shall be suc cessful. It will be remembered, that a few years ago Prussia and Austria had a private quarrel about the sovereignty of the Dutcli ies of Schleswig and Ilolsteiu, the south ern, and a very material portion of the ter ritory of Denmark. These Duchies give the holder, or ruling sovereign, a vote in the great German Diet, and this, beside be ing no inconsiderable provinces in them selves,gives importance to their possession. For the political affairs of the German states being under the control of the Diet, a vote there is often a question of great magnitude. In the European wars against Napoleon Bonaparte, Denmark was forced to unite her fortunes with the latter, and then wheu he was conquered, the Allied Powers had 110 mercy on poor, weak Den mark, and her territory was cut up to suit i Prussia and Austria, and hence it came that Schleswig and Holstein, pari of Den mark, is he'd in sovereignty by these two powers ; but by the inter-marriages and ' deaths of the reigning Dukes, the respec tive titles pf the sovereigns became com plicated, and the quarrel of a few years ago, alluded to above, ensued. Now, this private quarrel between Aus tria and Prussia, has set all the monarchs of Europe at loggerheads, and this lias came about in this wise : Prussia, fearing that she would be un able to fight Austria alone successfully, hatches up a project to secure the assist ance of France and Italy, based on the principle of territorial compensation. The terms ol the treaties said to exist between these three Powers, treaties which have not yet been openly avowed, are supposed to include the acquisition of Venetia by Italy of the left bank of the Rhine by France, and the absolute and sole possession by Prussia of the Duchies wrested from Den mark. This division would satisfy the ter ritorial ambition of each of the allies. The possession of Venetia would complete the unification of Italy, and would at tbe same time relieve that country from the threat . ening fortresses of the Quadrilateral The possession of the left bank of the Rhine would give France the " natural boundary line," of which the present Emperor has been so long covetous. As for Prussia, the possession of the Duchies would give her a free outlet to the sea, and enable her to gratify her long cherished ambition to be come a first-class naval power. But, on the other hand, this arrangement would make an isolated inland power of Austria, unless she were able to retain the non-Aus trian provinces 011 the Adriatic, and at the same time, would threaten England with a new and powerful rival for the supremacy . of the seas. l Austria, on the other hand, seeks to de - fend herself from these despoiling purposes by counter strategy. She invites Russia, - the Great Northern Bear, whose Cossacks all Europe dread, into the fight, by prom ising her the Danubiau Provinces belong ing to Turkey, which this great power has 1 so long coveted, and nothing loath to fight for the tempting bait, Russia bristles up, and sends an hundred thousand men to the boaders of Austria. Thus arranged, the combatants are about equal, and the con test promises to be one of great magnitude and fierceness. Indeed, this very fact, has compelled hesitation. The vastness of the fight as thus arranged, the ruin that it must entail, and the absence of a sufficiently justifying eause, may yet sober and ration alize those controlling the interests of Eu rope. So soon as the existence of these alli ances were suspected, the whole moral in fluence of England was exerted to bring about a pacific adjustment of the questions at issue, and as it was not the policy of France to make war if she could obtain her object by peaceful means, she joined with England in the effort to have the mat ter brought before a General Conference of the Great Powers. Russia, having no par ticular interest, either way, in the quarrel between Austria and Prussia, joined with England and France in sending letters to the Courts of Vienna, Berlin, and Florence, and to the German Diet at Frankfort-on the-Maine, inviting them to send represen tatives to a Conference to be held at Paris. The latest European advises indicate the entire failure of this conference. It did not even meet. Whilst this is the general position of the head men of Europe, who control her poli tics, it is interesting to know what the peo ple of the different countries involved in the strife, have to say on the question. In Prussia the people are opposed to a war, on the very grounds that lead the King and his Ministers to desire war.— Count Bismark's ambition is intensely Prussian. He wants to elevate Prussia to place her by the side of England and France, on sea as well as on land ; and to satisfy this ambition, he is ready to sacri tier eve ry other German kingdom, and < x tiuguish forever the long-desired German idea of a great national confederation, wilts a natioi al flag, a national capital, a nation al army and navy. Hence his plans for tin • aggrandizement of Prussia meet with no sympathy even from Prussians, while they are heartily detested in every other part ol Germany. The into sity of this foi ling is apparent from the b> : ! • ving quotation : We shall never be in repose as long as Austria and Prussia are equal in force. The interest of Germany, therefore, demands imperiously the des truction of one of these two great Powers. Then comes the question which of tbe two shout ! be sacrificed. Austria is a political uecesxity I . Germany and for Europe, while the existence of j Prussia has no other motive than the dynastic in terests of the family of Hohenzolhwn. T. " i ! rope, at present, it is a matter of utter intiiUV . euce whether Prussia should be replaced or not i-\ , three or four States of Secondary rank, its the po litical equilibrium would in nowise be disturbed. If Prussia should disappear from the mup of Eu rope, not the least hiatus would be perceived, nor the smallest interest be injuriously effected. When therefore, the question arises as to which of the | two great German Powers should be effaced from 1 tbe map of Europe, the interest of Germany in coutestibly indicates Prussia, and demands lici annihilation. If we look into Italy, we shall be at once j struck with tbe different spirit thatani-j mates the people. From one end of the j kingdom to the other, all is enthusiasm and . eagerness. Volunteers Hock by thousands to the army, and contributions of money . flow in one incessant stream into the lia tional treasury. It is the general opinion in Europe that Italy will make a light lot Venetia, even if she must fight alone. Says M. Entile de Girardiu, in La Liberie : Italy has yone too fur —she must fight. This is not the moment to make critical observations, more or ' less just, on the manner in which the negotiations liavo been conducted by Gen. La Marmora. The General must be sustained, but on condition that i he goes through the affair rapidly. The moral feeling of the country would be destroyed by furth jer delay. If King Victor Emanuel "does not fire I the cannon, the revolution will lake his place, utulbe- j jin the struggle. The temperament ol Italy can no j longer sustain the over-excitement which has be- | come the normal state of the populations. The matter must come to an end, and the people must ! fight. The last news is, that Garibaldi has tak en the field with immense accessions to his i standard. A similar spirit prevails in Austria. The Dutch blood runs high, and immense pre i parations are on foot. JWu We notice that a Johnson State ; Convention was held in Philadelphia on ! the 3d instant, which was presided over by Hon. HENRY W. TRACY of tliis County.— i The report of the proceedings state that this assemblage consisted of about forty | delegates. The character of the persons | composing the Convention may be judged ' bom the delegates elected to the National | Convention of August who are 11. W. TRA- I CY, of Braford. EDGAR COWAN of Westmore land, Win. F. JOHNSTON of Alleghany, J. R. FLANEGAN, of Philadelphia. The meeting was strictly an otfice-hol | ders affair. The President, Mr. TRACY, is jan anxious seeker after "something." A ] Foreign Mission would be bis preference, i but anything handsome will do. We sub | mit that he has earned it from this faithless I Administration, if recreancy to principle ' and subserviency are ever to be rewarded. The August Convention to which Mr. j Tracy is a delegate, was called by such 1 Johnson men as COWAN, and is endorsed in full by the Copperheads. It is intended to I consnmate the Union between the Cop ' perheads and the supporters of "my policy," I It will not be many weeks before Mr. TRA |CY and all such politicians, will throw ofl* I their specious pretences and flimsy disguis ! Os, and be oponiy arrayed on the side of i the Democracy, and opposing the Republi ] can organization. We wish the Copper j heads joy of their accessions. The,nomination of RORERT F. (,'I.ARK j of Bloomsburg, as assessor for this district | was confirmed by tin; Senate, and after wards recalled. The Senate, however, re fused to reconsider the nomination, so that j Mr. CLARK'S confirmation stands. \\ e have already expressed our opinion ,of the removal of Dr. JOHN, as being one iof the must outrageous cases of political i ingratitude and proscription within our i knowledge. We arc surprised that a Re ( publican Senate should permit sncli gross j injustice to be done while it had the power ;to permit it. We do not know what Mr. | CLARK HOW calls himself, but we presume I that his influence is hereafter to go tow ards the breaking - down ot the Republican I organization. GREAT FIRE IN PORTLAND. —The city of ' I oitlaud, Maine, was the scene ot a disas trous conflagration on the fth inst., des j troying all the businese portion of the i place, churches, banks, public buildings, : Ac. Hie Portland Press of Saturday says i that, from all the information it can gather it is satisfied that, notwithstanding the heavy drains that wiil be made upon va ! rious insurance offices, the losses will be j promptly paid, with, perhaps, the excep ! tiou of the Portland Mutual, which office j may be obliged to compromise with the | policy holders. The call of a National Convention by Messrs. Randall and Doolittle of Wis consin, Browning of Illinois, and Cowan of Pennsylvania, with the indorsement of sen ators Dixon of Connecticut, Hendricks of , Indiana, Norton ol Minnesota,and Nesniith i oi Oregon, can be understood no otherwise i than as a formal proclamation of withdraw ! al by the Johnsonities from the National In ion party. Mr. Hendricks, and perhaps we should add Mr. Nesmith. cannot with ! draw from a party to which they never pro fessed to belong ; but tbe others have all j been honored and trusted as members of the great party which they now openly | abandon and conspire to overthrow. PENXSI.VASIA REC.IMEXTS. —By an order of our State Legislature passed during the session of 1865 the sum of five thousand dollars was appropriated for the work of collecting and writing a complete history of the Pennsylvania regiments during the rebellion, the same act also making provis ion for the appointment of a competant person to prepare and write the same. Governor Curtin has also given the posi tion of State Historian to Samuel B. Thom as, who has all the requisite qualifications for the performance of this work. Mr.- Thomas has held the position of Deputy Secretary of State under Governor Gurtin. He is to be assisted in the work by Sam uel P. Bates, formerly Deputy Superinten-! dent of Common Schools. - .. ■ '-V THE FOURTH IN PHILADELPHIA BETITBN OF THI WAB-WOBN BATTLE FLAGS TO THE STATE GOVERNMENT. IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES. Tin' celebration of the National Anni versary in Philadelphia, was attended with the most impressive ceremonies, and wit nessed by many thousands of people from every section of the State. The occasion was the transfer of the flags of the Penn sylvania regiments from the military to the State authorities : At 10 o'clock tin! procession of veterans s'arted from the rendezvous at Broad and Arch Sts., under command of Gen Han cock, and proceeded over the route in the following order: Advance Guard.

Second Artillery. Third Cavalry. General Meade and Staff. Field Officers in Carriages. Colors and Color Guard. United States Troops in the vicinity of Philadelphia. United States Marines. His Excellency Gov. Cui tin and Stuff in carriages. SOLDIERS' "ORI'HANH. ! Chief Engineer of the Fire Department and Assistants, with a delegation from each Company in the City, fully equipped as a Guard of Honor. Pennsylvania Militia. Military Academies and Schools. | Organizations whose Members have served in the field during the late war. The veteran troops with their battle stained banners were cheered lustily as the procession passed by the immense con | course of spectators gathered on the side walk. The orphans of the soldiers who fell in ! the war comprised one of the most impor | taut features of the display The boys marched in platoons, while a detachment from the Volunteer Fire Department, head ed by Chief-Engineer Lyie, acted as a guard of honor,forming in a hollow square, to the orphan girls, who rode in their am ! bulances. About 10,000 veterans from the City and State participated in the procession, and the orphans who are under the protection ol the State, numbered 1100. The spectacle presented on-the appear ance ol the color-bearers and the troops i before the main stand at Independence Square was one of the grandest ever wit nessed on this continent. Over 100 color bearers surrounded Gov. Curtin and Gen. Meade, with the torn remnants of the Hags of their regiments. On a stagi ig, forming a semi-circle around the m tin stand, there 1 were concentrated thousands of widows and orphaus of Pennsylvania soldiers who had fallen in battle. Independence Hall in the rear was handsomely draped with the national colors, as were the trees on : either side of the avenue. Fifteen or twenty thousand people were congregated within the square. At noon the ceremony of presenting the liags took place in the square in the reai of Independence Hall. The color-bearers occupied a position in front of the stand, and after the performance of the Triumphal March by Birgfeld's Band, the delivery ol an impressive prayer by Rev. Dr. Brain i ard, Maj. Gen. Meade made the formal | presentation, lie was received with im mense enthusiasm. V suitable response was made I >3' Gov. LT'RTIN. After a prayer of thanks to Almightj God for victory and the return of peace the singing of " Old Hundred" b}' thr Handel A llajdn Society, and benediction by Bishop Simpson, the immense audience separated. Among the distinguished per sous on the platiorm were Mayor Me Michael, Gens. Patterson, Geary, am others. THF. FIRST BATTLE OF THF. EUROPEAN' WAR } —The Saxonia brings intelligence of t great battle between the Italian and Aus I trian armies, in which the former sufferer a decisive and disastrous repulse, losing | several cannon, about two thousand pris i oners, and being finally compelled to with ! draw across the Miucio to the positions | th."3* occupied two da} T s before. The details of the battle are given with great clearness in the brief official dispatch es from the headquarters of the Italian and Austrian armies. It appears from thesi I dispatches that the Italians, under tin: 1 immediate command of their King, crossed : the Mincio, near Goito, 011 the morning ol June 23, and drove in the Austrian out- I posts. On the morning of the 24th the : First Corps of the Italian army attacked j the Austrian positions near Peschiera with i great spirit, but was overwhelmed by a superior force and compelled to retreat be fore the Second and Third Corps could coine to its assistance. The Italians oc cupied a strong position at Custozza,which I was taken by assault, the Italians losing ! heavily. Fnding themselves outnumbered, ! the Italians recrossed the Mincio on the 25th, unpursued by the Austrians. As the result of this defeat, it was pre sumed that Gen. CIALDINI would postpone his intended advance movement across the Po, as his 60,000 men would have to en counter 200,000 Austrians flushed with victory. \ ICTOR EMMANUEL probabty moved too soon, and without sufficient caution. This defeat created no discouragement in Italy, nor gave any check to the warlike enthusiasm of the people. At a Convention of the Soldiers of Columbia and Montour counties, lately held at Danville, the following resolution was unanimously adopted ; Resolved , That we heartily approve the determined and patriotic course of our rep resentative in congress, Hon. Ulysses Mer cur—his unwavering devotion to the prin ciples upon which lie was elected—his firm resistance against the admission of mem bers from the rebel states, until peace is fully restored and the people of those States shall haye given the guarantees required, and conceded equal and exact justice to all within their borders—his efforts to secure an equalization of bounties—these, and all ' his efforts in Congress, mark hiin as the faithful exponent of the loyal sentiment of the 13th district ; and we here pledge to him, our earnest co-operation in bestowing upon him a membership in the fortieth : Congress. ttaT" A tornado, blowing down houses and trees, and injuring several people, pas sed over Augusta, tia., recently.
