More Trouble in Earope. The attenti m of the world has been drawn fiom the maneuvering of the op posing armies on French soil to the attitude that Russia has assumed toward tho Paris treaty nf March, 1S56. The war that preceded, and from which the treaty sprung, is yet fresh in the minds of the reading public. We all remember how stubb.irnly Sevastopol fought the allied forces, and how, after months of siege, this great fortress on the coast of the Black Sca yie'ded. and how, soon, after its destruction, the Paris treaty of March, 1S56, followed. The contracting powers in the treaty were Great Biitian, Austria, Prussia, Fiance, Sardinia, Russia and Turkey. All the govern ments jtibt named signed the treaty with the firm belief that a blow had been de livered against Russia that would, for many years to coma, dispose of her am LitioiiB designs to lit lp herself to a piece of Turkey.

On the 17th day of this month the Monument erected to the memory of the citizen soldiers of Juniata connty who fell in the late rebellion, was dedica ted with appropriated services. The day was fine. It was all that could be asked at this season of the year. The prepar ations were ample. The attendance was large. Between three and four thousand persons were present. People were here from adjoining counties. The " Logan Guards," of Lewistown, one of the first Companies that hastened to the defence of the nation in 1S6 1, was here, under Col Selheimer. Gen. T. F. McCoy was in liue with this Company. The Com pany was in citizens' dress. The "Hunt ingdon Guards," commanded by Capt. Wo. Burchner, and other citizens ol Huntingdon connty were here and parti ipated in the ceremonies of the day. The Company was in military dress, aud its appearance was the subject of many favorable remarks. The outpouring of the people clearly tells that the memory ot the citizen soldiers who gave up their lives that freedom may not be lost to the world, is enshrined in the innermost re cesses of their hearts. The honors paid to our heroic dead on last Thursday tells forcibly that patriotism is a live virtue among us. 1 ue procession was tormed by Chief Marshal Capt. Cornelius Mc Clellan, in the following order: Firtt Division. Viewport IJantl, Col. Johu K.

The treaty further stipulated that neither Russia or Turkey should construct or miintain any naval or mili tary arsenals upon its coast. Within the past ten days the Czr of Russia has, through his prime minister Gortschakoff, announced to the Euro pean governments that Russia will no longer respect the provisions of the treaty ; that the treaty has been violated by the other powers ; that Turkey has been allowed to keep up ''unlimited naval forces in the Archipelago and Straits,' and that France and England preserved the power to concentrate their squadrons in the Mediteranean, and that they couid, in consequence of this nearness, in the event of a war, pounce upon Russia's de fenceless coast The Prince further says that upon several occasions the Straits were opened to foreign ships of war, and that on the Black Sea whole squadrons have been allowed to sail, without any protest being made It is charged that panWs to the treaty have been guilty, of these bleaches. It is charged, though not in the Vrince's circular, that Eng land, Frauce, Austria and Turkey, all have violated the treaty stipulations by entering the Sea with vessels of war. No more oppoituue tiue could have arisen for the Czir to break tue treaty shackles than the present time, Vn two of the parties, Russia and France, are warring against each other. It remain unknown whether England, Austria, Italy and Turkey, will attempt to com pel Russia to stand to the provisions of the treaty. If they so attempt, the whole of Europe and part of Asia will soon be engaged in bloody war. Last week one day, a messenger of the Peoples Bank of New York.

The procession was the largest and most imposing one ever formed here, and consumed an hour in marching aver the prescribed rout and reaching the Court House Yard, where the monument is loca ted. Here, in front of the Court House, around a stand erected for the occasion the procession broke and mingled with the other citizens to listen to the orator of the day, General McCandless, of Phil adelphia. This was not an assembly of men alone it was an assembly of the fathers, the mothers, the brothers, the sisters, the sons and daughters, and the friends of te dead heroes. This generation will neve witness another such an assembly. On Whalf of the Committee on Or ganization Lieutenant W. W.

On the completion of the organization Rev Mr. Allison, of the Presbyterian cbuch, opened the exercises with prayer. after which the President, General Bell, introduced General McCandless, who de livered the following AlDKESS: Ladies asd Gkntleukx: When Solon, the great Aliieniau law-giver, was entertained at the court ol the Lydiau monarch, then the mightiest and wealthiest of potentates, re joicing in the fullness ol his glory and the extent of his realms, he was asked by the vain monarch, who expected and desired a reply flattering to himself, this question:! "Who, Ob! at Ion, was the mod nappy man you have ever known 1"' The km" was amazed and startled at the answer, "fellus, an Athenian mechanic," replied Solon, "was the most happy of men whom 1 have ever known, lie, after a lifo speul iu doing good to his fellow citizens, having had a family of stalwart sons born unto hi in, died gloriously lighting in his country's service at the close ot a victorious liattle wherein her rights had been asserted aud her freedom assured, to which result he had greatly contributed by his personal valor." Well might Croesus be astonished at this reply of the man whose laws have male his mine immortal, t r in it was contained the germ of the principle that makes gniull states great and republics pow erful. This was a recognition that the feel ing of patriotism elevates and dignities the poorest citizen of a state, ennobles him be yond the height of kings, and sublimes even ordinary virtues when displayed in the ser vice ol one's country into greatness before which the power of monarch and the gran deur of courts sink into insignificance. It is a beautiful expression ot that noble senti ment that "ii is a sweet and becoming thing to die for one's country." It was this willing tribute to the memory ot her sons who died iu battle that made Greece iu her day as a republic the mistress of the world iu arms and the great master of science and of art ; which constitutes her the beucou-light to which all succeeding ages have turned their eyes lo guide their course, and which has exalted her into a model to which all who aspire to do a gallant deed, perform a gvuer ous action, or mink a no'j.c thought forever look for inspiration. Under such teachings the heart ot the citizen expanded with the glory of his country ; its Ik. nor and greatness were paramount to all other considerations aud as. constant iu his mind as is the northern star iu the firmament. "History, which is philosophy teaching by example," proves that this amor patria in its purity is peculiar to tree governments. It is eminently their characteristic. Anion; them it reflects its greatest etlulgence. Aud why snould it not be so? for there alone the individual fuels his manhood acknowledged, and his acts appre ciated; there alone the individual is lifted out ol the condition ol cypher and becomes a part, an essential and important part, ot the body politic. The greatness of his coun try does not represent the aggrandizement of a despot or the enriching ot a class, but it represents happiness to him and an increase of liberty to his posterity. Sometimes for the perpetuation of a dynasty, sometimes for the gra' ideation of the ambition of a mon arch, and sometimes to please the whim or caprice of a Madam Dc Pompadour armies may and have occasionally achieved victor ies, but such success, as it docs notelevntethe citizen nor tend to the general good, will prove only ephemeral. It has been the re sult of spasmodic effort aud not the legitimate product of genuine virtue; it proceeds from temporary energy or perhaps the ability of a ruler, and when these cease to ex'st, the soul of a nation being dead, internal corruption ana external disaster destroy and overture the splendid but baseless superstructure. The courage of such a people lacks the real ani mating influence, which is a love of country. This alone can give a nation thai pride of mind drawing its inspiration from frevdom which fills the heart with a courage undaunted by disaster and uusubduedi by defeat, and which, ever like Antaitis touching his mother earth, springs elastic with new vigor. The individual sovereignty which a citizen of a republic enjoys, stimulates him either on the weary mnrch or amid the carnage of battle he is w:lling to die lor the liberty he loves. From this pure spirit of patriotism free gov ernments spring, without which lhcy will be as evanescent as the mist upon your moun tain sides. This love ol country, my friends, is a prolific theme; it inspire the mind: it -fiquickcns the pulsation of the blood ; it nerves the weak and presses onward the strong; it makes the soldier valiant and tho orator's delivery grand ; it is as old as time, and in a republic as certain as eternity; it comes with breath and departs only with life; it will as sert itself in the traitor's heart, like ISauqtio's ghoM, it will not doom but ever chide him in his thoughtful moments. No nation can be truly great without it. Poetry draws lrom it its inspiiation; society its charms; thenrts and sciences their itnptilse, and languags its eloquence. Well might the great Waverly romancer inquire, "Ilreatlies there a man with soul so dead, Who never lo himself hath said, Tuis is my own, my native land." Yen, dead must be the soul that does not sweil with emotion at the thought that this is ins own hind, and dead soon would be that land whose children did not glow with pride at the mention of her name. This love of country theu being the green est laurel that bedecks the brow of lioerty, how will we entwine its tendrils around the hearts of coming generations iu order that tune may increase its growth 7 3ly country men, this is a problem that every nation on the stir luce ot the earth has at some time or other in its history attempted to solve. The most effective method ever discovered to keep alive this essential teelmg ot patriotism you are practising to-day. nu have erected and are dedicating to all future limes a ruonu ment coir.meinorat.ive of the services ren dered to the stale by your own patriotic sons. a monument winch to all the future will recall the memory of creat deeds, of earnest patriotism, and ol unhesitating devotion to a worthy cause. Here will be found exemplars worthy of imitation. ibis inarticulate marble Will teach enduring lessons. The widow of the departed hero will repair lo this spot with her son; point out to him his father's Mauso leum; explaiu to him how he volunteered and gallantly deleuded the Hag of his country ; how he loughl and bow he fell. The muideu whose lover has fallen in this bloodv strife will also come here, her hopes blighted and her heart broken, and on this, to her, a hal lowed spot, she will drop a tear to the memory ofhiinshe adores. Here will come the nged crippled veteran with his grand-son byhisside aud standing before this monument all his youth will revive; the old days will pass be fore mm anew; the ok! leeliugs will again in flame his breast, the great cause the ear nest love ot liberty the aident love of country ine, tne weary marcu-.tiie areary Jivouuc the desperate battlc-the lempoary defeat and the final victory; all! all! these will pass in re view before his mind; his ancient ardor will revive and he will recount in stirring speech and martial phrase the glories of his vouth. Into the g reaily ear of the listening lad the old man will pour the story of the battles, sieges, fortunes through which he has passed, ana tired by recollections ol these scenes he will "shoulder his crutch and show how fields were won;" point to this column em blazoned with the deeds of the glorious dead and exclaim with proud emphasis, "1 was one ot those !" And as the old man talks, see how the eye of the youth kindles; how his cheeks glow; how every fibre of Ms body is nerved. 'I he lesson lias entered his soul.
