O,F THE
THE WAR IN EITROPE
WHAT THE COPU3ATANTO WANT.
A Letter from Berthold Auerbach. the
Novelist.
I was wandering through the villages and
forests of my native country, when thesounds
of war from over the Rhine reached my ear.
The solitary wood-cutter leanedon his axe and
asked, " What does the Frenchman want ?"
The stone-breaker on the road held the ham-
Mer in his hand, the reaper In the field let the
sickle rest and in the village the old maa who
was teaching the children, all asked, " What
does the Frenchman want?". Here and far
off it wax said, "The Frenchman has had a bad
harvest; he is coming to get something from
-its."--Yes,-indeed ; the Frenchman has a blid
harrest; but in a different way and not from
this year alone; and that is.why he wishes war,
While for war the worst pretext is good enough
with him.
And . what I said to many .a parting man
courageous for the, - efiroleati to many 't.'" one
remaining behind, with a rigid, earnest face, .I
will now proclaim to the whole German peo
ple, to those fighting abroad - and to - those wait.
Ing at home : In- these quiet days,Wheri every
one is unsheathing his sword, all minda—as in
the waiting room of a railway station--are in
agitation, in suspense. We count theminutes,
we ask, " Why not begin ?" The time until'
something is done seems - so long and weary.
Our hearts have not been able to put up with
the idea that such a war is. possible in our
days, that the peacefiil acquisitions of two na-
tionieshould be at stake through the gambling
of an adventurer, declaring war against else
lization„ -However, this-is the case, and. ever
figani. the--;:eaine. - question - arises;• ' "'What:
does the Frenchman want?" . I am going ..to
tell you.
The Frenchman has a bad coscience, he is
displeased with hiMself, and n
therefore, he
wishes to deafen himself by the din of war and
as lie cannot put his' own miserable household
in order, he wants to make a row in the
world ! Be is at war with himself, and there
fore seeks to stir up quarrals.with_others, -He
serfi his .neighbor, the German nation, quiet
and pr intent, steadily working, increasing in
Ns ell being, arrive at unification, make whole

tided on tbestupidity and the baseness of men
,Jel has won. On the stupidity - anti baseness of
he Germans he has also speculated, has hoped
to find men foolish and vile enough, to take his
_
part.
But what had he to experience?:He has

...selves to be torn asunder, so as
mg, and to be emiSidered - as noth- --
ing in our disunion. The French have an im
moral dance—they call it the cancan. -The
war-dance to which Napoleon now plays the
riddle is the war-cancan.
What do the French want? To tight—
haughtily to try their strength against their
leaceful neighbor, and to conquer tracts of
and because of his own accord nobody has a
desire to participate in French grandeur.
What can the French write on their tiagA, 'or
a device? Nothing more than this : '' 'We
want to light and rob." But what do we Ger
mans want? What can we write on our ban
ner? We fight for the purest and holiest
cause, and for a century the struggle for the
equal rights of' man before the law has lasted.
Let us not forget—for we Germans • arejtiSt
even towards our present enemy—that the •
Fench have done much -in this struggle.
E pm! rights before the.law have been gained
in all essentialpoints. To-day Germany fights
1.
for the equal rights of nations.
What do the French want? They want the
preponderance, ,i the guardianship over na
tions, the prestige. They are impertinent
enough to say to the neighboring people,
" you dare not feel well, for I myself am not
well ; you dare not arrange your affairs as it
seems best to you; you must pat the soup as I
salt it fbr yon; and of course everything that
I like to eat must be served to me frost—l am
the chosen people of liberty and civilization!"
The bragging of Frenchmen, behind which
they hide theirgreediness for territory,
must receive the bIONV which it
deserves. No agreement,. no means of culture
would help us. We no incite blush at our own
abjectedness ; now the blood roust be spilt
that ought to have risen to our face. Our
German device is, "Equal rights to all oar
time; !" We free ourselves and the world from
the arrogance of the French, and free the
French froth their own arrogance. We know
what we want, and dare proclaim it to the
world,.The French must bolt for a pretext .

triumphs over untruth. so snrely the victory

far as.the high contracting parties are respec

fore on the Ist Article of the Quintuple Treaty
of the 19th of April, 1839."
The Euipress Eugenie and queen
Victoria.
We translate from the New York Stoats
Zeitung some extracts from a leading article on
English, intervention in the European war.
The Empress of the French in her troubles
has requested Queen Victoria, the mother-in
law of the Crown Prince of Prussia, at present
withtlie - arm - y - on -- its-march-to-Paris, to medi
ate, so that a peace may he established which
;will make it possible to the Bonaparte dynasty
to,continue in France.., Queen Victoria was,
however, thereby asked to do something.
which . doeS not at all agree with her wishes,
for she has always been opposed to that
dynasty. -She - may be - a - woman of narrow
views, but she has a strong sense_of the right,
and - the act by which Napoleon, after, break
ing the most sacred of oaths, has• placed. bins,
- self - on thenthrone, conVinced her longlago
that a reign so Commenced could not end well.
The Queen only knows what the King •of
- Priissia has decided to do, in case of „victory;
and, while' her sYniPatilles are.with the re-es
tablishment of a constitutional monarchy in
France, with the Orleans family at its head,
she has simply expressed her regrets that she is
unable to do anything. She is a constitutional
Queen, who has to act .strictly in accordance
with the views of her Cabinetlthat Cabinet is
of opinion that at the present moment an in
tervention might not be favorably'received.
Queen Victoria has therefore made a State
allair of that which was asked of her as a per
sonal favor s , ThesEnspresS meant ' that Jam,
-should speak' Odd Word for her . liuSband"and
child, but the Queen -who knows• full well the part which the Empress has taken in
the declaration of war, tells her as plainly as
possible that the „Bonaparte dynasty has
nothing to expect from her personally; that
whatever she may do will be in accordance
ith• the, views of her Cabinet, and that the
Cabinet is of opinion that only - when the French
army shallsbe victorious -can a diplonsatiest
tervention he of use. This answer must have
been, to •the Bonaparte dynasty, a mirror to
show it its own weakness. It will have
learned therefrom that in case it has nothing
further to hope for from its own endeavors, it
is 105 t,.. and thats-ansearnest intervention of"

The advance toward Paris is then described :

remembered as the Cannonade of Vainly, in
which the army of the Duke of Brunswick
was finally repulsed, is thus told:
"At seven In the morning the mists clears

A Poet to the Rescue.
After many years of compulsory exile and
voluntary seclusion, Victor Hugo has returned
to Paris in the uniform of the reserve National
Guard. "A la bonne heure I' says 31. Gaillar-
Abt, announcing the fact byo_cerin cahle.a.of
good omen.
ICertainly it is significant, bntrather. of the
T dowilfall of the Napoleonic dynastyl.than of
the final,trinniph_of_the—E'rench_arms.--The

An Official Prayer for Peace.
The Bishop-of London-, as ptovincial dean
Canterbury, has forwarded to the bishops
01 the province of Canterbury a form of
prayer which he and the Archbishop of Can
terLiity have agreed to recommend as a help to
private devotion during the continuance of
the present war. The Archbishop, in a letter.
to the Bishop of London, states that he found
that precedents were against the issuing of a
public form of 'prayer while his country is not
engaged in the war. The form recommended
is a follows:
t Almighty God, King of all Kings,whose
power no creature is.able to resist, to whom it
helongeth justly to jaunish sinners, and to be
merciful to them that truly repent; .assnaue,
we beseech Thee, the horrors of this war,
which Thou hast permitted to break. forth in
Europe; restrain the passions of the combat
ants : inspire the. Conquerors with mercy and
the vanquished with submission to Thy will ;
give patience to all who suffer ; prepare for
the summons those who are called to die ; and
to this warfare bounds which it may not
pass, We pray Thee, 0 God, speedily grant .
peace-to the nations, and so over-rule; in Thy
good
our
the course of all events,
that our Present anxieties may end in the
spread of righteousness, enlightenment and
true liberty, and thus Thy Kingdom may at
last be established on earth. And this we
pray through the merits and mediation of
Jesus Christ,our Lord and Saviour, the Prince
of ice. Amen."
A DEVELIBII PLOT.
Attempt to Throw a Train oil the Penn
sylvania Railroad Track.
The Lancaster Express says :
on Monday night last a most devilish
scheme was attempted on the .Pennsylvania
itiu tread ittl'abY'S 0 . 61 4 ; ,'aliotit 'one West .
the Gap Station, to throw the Cincinnati
express train off the track. The object, it is.
supposed, was to rob the passengers on the
train or the express car. This curve is very
short, and the embankment is pretty high,
rendering it a dangerous portion of the road,
a tat; should the attempt have proven success
ful, no one can tell what might have
been the loss of life, or how ter
rilde an accident would have happened. It
appears that a tie was placed across the track,
hut fortunately not fastened tightly thereto.
The Cincinnati express train being consider
ably behind time, the freight trains received
orders to proceed ahead to Leaman Place
Btation. One of the freight trains struck the
tie. Tarrying It Wring seine distance, until the
,11,,j0e was stopped and the tie removed,
' lien it was taken afterwards to Leaman
Place. It is thought that the parties in put
ting down the tip were frightened by the ap
proach of the freight train, so that they did
not stop long enough 'to fasten it to the
rails.

LATEST FROM wEsiT HICKORY. PENN
SYLVANIA.
The 99 Tannin ' 9 of the 011 Itegtone.•
The Titusville Herald says :
West Hickory, besides being noted for its
tlig - tielli, dry holes and rattlesnakes, has a
new and charming feature of attraction in the
vast number of wildcats, or 'catamounts, that
are to be found in the neighboring forest, and
which make night hideous with their melliflu
ous notes, when on a forage. Since the un
timely demise of the wildcat at Fagundas, by
reason - of an encounter with a bull-dog, no
" varmints" have been seen, and it was hoped
i bat the aforesaid animals would let the peace
ful.-settlers have - a rest. But such felicity
was not to be—and now comes the story.
Near the headwaters of West Hickory creek
Jives an humble and upright agriculturist, by
the name of Adam Goodman, who, after en
gaging in the perilous occupation of an oil
operator on the creek, reformed and opened a
keno bank, and with the accumulations of
several -Weeks retired - from - businesa-:out of .
the babli window (as a
. police officer entered
the front), and purchasing a few acres of soil
began to farm it. Not having- previously
studied -Lydia- Thompson's work entitled :
"What I Know about Farming," his first
year's' work was not a success. His pumpkins
were devoured by potato bugs, grasshoppers
carried off his cattle, the weevil got into • his
sheep, and the corn crop failed under the
combined attack of the hoof-rot and murrain.
To crown all, he was himself attacked with
the hog cholera.
This was the situation on Saturday night
last, when from a dreamless sleep he was
awakened by an unearthly howl,- a crash of
glase, and:the striking of a ":heavy Something"
upon his breast. At first he thoughtitmust be
a horrible 'nigh - Una:re; caused by too rich vi

there were no horses within ten miles of his

was a couple of buckwheat cakes, such rea

SHOCKING SUICIDE IN NEWARK.
A Leather Merchant, Hangs HlmielL
••• -The-N eivarkltdvetti Ser e Sss! •
• A noon to-day the city was shocked by the
intelligence of the suicide of one of our oldest
and-most suceessful business men—Mr. Alex:;
ander M. Utter, of the firm of Jacobus &
Utter, leather dealers, of NO - . 100 - Market
street. For sortie thirty-five .'ears Messrs.
Jacobus.& Utter have been engaged in busi
ness in this city, and in that tithe have been
unusually successful. Mr. Utter was a gentle
man of the highest standing in his business
relations and otherwise and always won the
kind consideration of all with whom he came
in contact.
•
Between 10and - ll'o'elock this ferenoon Mr.
Utter sold a bill of harness leather and• then
was seen to proceed up stairs. At about ,six
minutes past twelve o'clock Mr. Jacobus, his
partner, went up to the head of the stairs in
the fourth story of the establishment at No.
300 Market street, which is used as a drying
loft, and seeing Mr. litter reclining behind a
bulk head about four feet high, against the
railing of the stairs, said: " Come, Alex., it is
12 o'clack,'''and descended the stairs.
Eliciting no reply, and thinking that, per
haps, Mr. Utter was asleep upon the pile of
leather behind the bulk-head, he retraced his
steps and beheld a sight which riveted him to
the spot—the body of his partner cold in death,
with a rope around his neck,, which was
fastened by a knot in a crack in the bulk-head,
which had at some tithe been a door. Scream
ing for help he cut the fatal cord, when
Patrick Nugent, an employe, came to his as
sistance. Dr. O'Gorman was at once sum
moned, but his skill was of no avail, life was
extinct.
The, unfortunate man must have died an ex
crutiatingly painful death—by slow strangula
tion.
The rope was about three feet in length. He
evidently adjusted the rope around his neck,
tied a knot in the end of the rope_
which he forced clown - ' a crack in
the bulkhead, and then deliberately
settled down upon a pile of leather. When
found his tongue was protruding from - his
mouth, and his face was frightfully discolored.
Mr. Jacobus, between whom and the de
ceased the most friendly relations have ex
isted since they entered into partnership,
could give no cause for the rash act. He was
free from debt, worth some $130,000, and their
business was going on successfully. Several
times,'howeVer, - within the past three or four
sears, -Mr. Jacobus said he had come from his
home to the store in Tr eteSpentiiiig condition,
and on tw6 or three occasions had buried his
face in his hands and wept.
Mr..Jacobus„:on2.thesw-oeoasionsi-knowing
that his partner's trouble was of a strictly
domestic character,. urged upon him strongly
to overcome his feelings and try to look upon
the bright side, at the same time assuring him
that if he continued thus to give way to his
feelings, and permit his home troubles to
weigh so heavily upon his mind, he would cer
tainly become insane. Others, too, who wore
somewhat intimate with deceased and his
family, attribute his suicide to the same cause.

twenty-five miles southeast of Block Island,

a swordfish dart into the. critter. The fish took
about twenty-five fathoms of line, and the tub
