WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH THE
SEPOTS
The ethics of jurisprudence teach that the
punishment which the law—actually represent
ing the voice and concurrent opinion of So
ciety—inflicts upon offenders, is not to be con
sidered as Vengeance. tinder the Mosaic
dispensation, the principle was Au eye for an
eye, and a tooth for a tooth ;" but the Chris
tian code, as laid down by the Highest and
Holiest, contents itself with less than this.
Humanizing and merciful, even in its justice,
it is based upon the dictum,: ~V ongeance is
vane, i4nith the Lord, and I will repay!"
A crime is committed. the criminal is dis
covered, the adMinistrators of the law which
ho violated have to sentende him' to . .such
penalty as the law provides. In some cases,
the punishment is arbitrary—a fixed penalty
for an ascertained effenee. In other cases, a
certain latitude is permitted to the judge, who
is permitted to mote out to the offender such a
#egive, of ( punishment as_ he may believe the
.circumstances of tho:casolor the .character of
the criminal may warrant. For example, when
particular offence has prevailed in any par
ticular locality, and the, crimp is brought home
to the perpetiiiter, the judge usually inflicts a
severer Punishnient than he would give if the
offence liad boon solitary. And thus, also, if
the offender have erred before, it is usual to
make the penalty much heavier than if it were
his entrance into crime. Thus, circumstances
and character do materially influence the qua
lity and the quantity of the punishment in
flicted by, or rather under, that great bulwark
of civilization and social order which is called
The Law.
The punishments thus inflicted have a dou
ble purpose. First, to protect Society, by
holding out to offenders the, living certainty
that breaches of the oodo which rules and re
gulates it meet with punishment; in a word,
by subjecting crime to such severe treatment,
'to deter people from committing It. Second
ly, to endeavor to reform the offender himself,
by showing him that ho cannot break the law
with impunity.
Such general principles as these aro applica
ble in a vast majority of cases—applicable, in
very truth, in nearly all imaginable cases.
/jut there are excepti one, Of, course, and ono
of them is, where not an individual only is the
offender, but where men are banded together
for purposes which the law declareS to be bad.
Such an extreme case is that of the insurrec-
tionary Sepoys in Hindostan.
There may be some little difficulty in pro
perly designating them. The impulsive and
eloquent gentlemen 'who lately held a "mass
meeting" (In a small room) at Now York,
for the purpose of expressing their warm sym
pathy with the Sepoys who had revolted, went
to the length of speaking of them as fe patri
otic" heroes. As they are not likely to suc
ceed, we dare say that they will be considered
as rebels and traitors. If they were to wrest
Hintlostan from the English, the affair would
Ito wholly different, of course. As the epi
gram,smartly and truly says—
Treason loth noror prosper. What's the reason?
Why, when it does, no man dare call ft Treason.
The whole tenor of the latest news from In
dia gives assurance of the ultimate and com
plete success of the British, and that at no dis
tant day; That news reaches down to the
middle of September,' at which time the rein
forcements lbons England had b egun to arrive.
Before the present month is ended, there will
lie in British India a larger'European force
than has , occupied
~ jt place ,jt ,flr;t came
under 'the :sway, nominally,- of the East
India Company, but actually of the So
vereign of' England. Before such a force,
the numerical superiority of the Hindoos must
count as little. It cannot resist such a com
bination of discipline, arms, science, and de
termined will as is now arrayed against it.
'The Sepoys, if
,ever they had a chance, threw
it away by not making a simultaneous move
ment at the first, or rather carrying out that
which they did make, at first. Then, when
the British were surprised, taken-aback by the
sudden and unexpected ' revolt, when they
were in a fearful minority, was the time for
following up, with a war of extermination,
what they had commenced. Instead of this,
they concentrated themselves within Delhi,
Cawnporo, and other strongholds, virtually
shutting themselves up, until the'period when
an irresistible British force should be assem
bled to defeat them. That defeat, every thing
assures us, ivill not bo long delayed.
Here, however, arises the question—how
shall these Sepoys be punished?
It is generally admitted, by the English
themselves, that exemplary punishment
sto be inflicted. The difficulty is how to
punish, not hundreds, not thousands,
but millions of offenders. Recognised
ringleaders among the revolted Sepoys aro
few. The Cruel misdeeds which wore com
mitted—we moan, more particularly, the mal-
treatment of women and children—were
,literally don's enmasse, and who can distinguish
the offenders? 'A hundred, or alien a thou
sand, of the rebels may be put to death, but
this number, great as it is, bears no kind of
proportion to the immense numerical amount
of the entire body. Where so many are
ounishable, how many shall be punished, and
what shall the punishment be
We have said that the general English fool
ing is, that the punishment shall bo great—if
possible, even appalling—something which
w ill strike terror, nut only now, but in the
conning time, deep into the hearts of millions
yeit unborn. In corroboration of the uni
yefrsality of this feeling, wo may state that,
having read the reported sermons delivered in
London, by over fifty preachers, of all de
nominations, ou the recent Day for General
Fast and National Humiliation, we were com
pelled to notice the unanimity with which they
all declared that the offences against common
humanity, committed by the Sepoys, must not
go unpunished. Difference there may be, and
there is, upon points of doctrine and disci
pline, but upon this'point they all agreed.
Very significant is that agreement—it indi
cates the popular feeling of the English.
The Times newspaper, that great organ
which adroitly follows public opinion, oven
while it most appears to lead it, expresses it
self in the samo'way, only a little more deci
ded, as might bo expected from a layman. In
a leading article, Oct. 13th, it says :
4, Theorists an criminal jurleprudenoc have speou
latcd on the necessity of discouraging crime, and
on the duty of reforming criminals. The national
indignation against the Indian mutineers may,
perhaps, revive the ancient belief that it was the
first purpose of punishment to punish, and that re
tributive justieepriparlly consists in simple retri
bution. The culprits of Cawnpore might almost be
, trusted to the mercies of a jury of Quaker
It is to be hoped that no man would forgive the mur
derers of women. It is certain that no English
woman would ho content with the escape of the
wretches who slaughtered and mutilated stool
fending children. The stern satisfaction of right
eous vengeance, wholly unmixed with any desire
for the benefit of the criminals, will be but remotely
connected with the desire of security against future
revolts., The death of the ringleaders and ofall
actual sharers in the outrages,ithe lifelong slave
later of the ordin . ary culptits under the whip of a
negro overseer, w ill be demanded, by a more sacred
and primitive instinct ofjustice thou any which is
likely to be discussed at Birmingham."
The closing sentence indicates what, at the
very least, will bo done. Nor,looking at the
enormities which have been committed, will it
be said that such a doom Is not fully merited.
Yet, here arises a double difficulty—to dis
tinguish the actually guilty from those who
merely went with the crowd, and to prevent
Punishment degenerating into Vengeance.
Dr. Hall, of the Journal of Health, gives a
groat deal of excellent, oOmmon•sense odvieo to all

PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, QCTOBER 27, 1857.
TILE CITY OF NEW YORK
The condition of the city of New York;
financially and socially, is a revolting,
reality. It IS to us a source of grief
and alarm, rather than satisfaction. Thu
best part of the Now York journals
comment upon this spectacle with great
indignation. How thankful we of Phila
delphia should he when contrasting our let
with that of the great commercial metropolis 1
As evidences of the wide-spread demoralizai,
Jolt of New York, take the following extract
rom Saturday's Journal of Commerce:
ROTTEN' CITY ACCOINTS.—Wo hope everybody!
has • road, marked, and inwardly digested'—if it
is possible of digestion—the Investigating Coms,
tnittees, expose of the mysteries end miseries of our
financial department.
"The most numerous and grievous sins of this
department are these of omission. It is perpetual
ly omitting to do something which it ought to do;
It omits to keep an account of the fire loan bonds
and mortgages—or of the surety bonds, Which part
ties give for the faithful discharge of their official
duties—or of the outstanding assessment bond&-4
or of the unpaid taxes lodged with the clerk of
arrears fOr collection—and generally, it "omits
to maintain that surveillance over all its ens
ployoes which wouldprevent, to a great ext
tent, the commission of (rands, like those revealed
by the committee's report. fetus of those inL
stances of omission would int'amusing, if •they were
not exasperating to us as tax-payers. For exereple,
with regard o that mystery of mysteries, the fire
Loan stook , tee' committee cannot tell by the
hocks, whether the stock aratmits to $11,69.9.77 , ,
or $15,500; and, 'in fedt, they believe that this
enigmatical Stook wag' pald off long ago. To find
out the truth, it will he necessary to grope among
the rubbish of the office through alpened of twenty
years. Then, again' ' 'there were ever s.2Bo;poci
worth of assessments Afloat to ineet a deficiency
that does not exist. Could carelessness go furs
ther ?
" As for the deficiencies in returns made by Deli
lectors to the Bureau of Arrears, it is impossible to
say whether they are proofs of fraud or neglecd.
The fact having been ascertained, however, that in
the lest three years, in 000 instances, theeellectors
acknowledged that they had received money
which they omitted to mention in the returns--
there is reason 'to believe that a largo amount (no
body can guess how mush) of the unpaid taxes
($2,030,070.27) and the unpaid essessments ($4,757.
959.01) have been pocketed in this way. The
helplessness of the department is ouch, in the
opinion of the committee, that no ono in it, not
oven the clerk of arrears himself, has the most
remote idea of the amount for which this bureau
should be held responsible.' Errors to the extent
of .nearly $03,000 were detested in' the footings of
returns from collectors of assessments en street
openings and repairs. These fuels indicate a
wretched state of things, which demands the Im
mediate and earnest attention of the Common
Council. Lot the dust be shaken out of the musty
records, which the committee have not had time to
examine, and lot us know the full extent of these
misreotiogs, embezzlements, and defalcations, if,
indeed, it is possible to trace them all, amid the
darkness and disorder of the Department. The
charges already found against collectors of public
moneys amount to over $130,000. What wonder
that our backs are broken with taxes, when the
collections are thus conjured away!"
The next picture of the aeries Mho follow

Evening Post of the same day :
"Caine IN New Yunt4.—The Mayor's proposal

gregetion of violent death.
What we want is not a return of arrests and in.
dlettnents, for in our lax system of administrative
justice vast numbers of offenders are not indicted,
tier oven arrested; and still loss do wo expect in
formation from the number of judioial convictions
for homicide, for scarcely any one isconvieted; but
an accurate statement of those dead from poison
or violence might enable us to say whether our op.
prehensions are unduly exaggerated, or whether
Now York is sinking to the condition of a Turkish
or Asiatic city, anosing the protection which
civilization and law used to extend over the weak
the unwary, and the peaceful.
"Let us look over our criminal record or this put
wook. On Saturday night lust; a respectable man
and his wife, quietly returning from mnrket, in
one of our most public avenues, aro mot by three
young men one of whom commences his proceed
loge by striking the woman. and on her husband's
turning to protect her he is stabbed by tho young
ruffian, and falls dead at the foot of his wife. On
Sunday night a young man named Dodd dies from
a fractured jaw, having been attacked in Broadway
and moreilessly beaten and kicked by a band of
ruffians. On Tuesday morning a loan named Mc-
Dermott WAS knocked down by a num tinned with a
cart-rung, and dies in the hospital. On Wednesday
morning a little boy of eleven years of age, who
had clambered into a milk earl, was thrown by
its owner on to the pavement, and then kinked to
death. On Wednesday night a man named Arm
strong was stabbed In the abdomen, and now lies
mortally wounded, it is said, in the New York
Hospital. On Thursday night a citizen of the
Fifth ward was idiot with a pistol in an affray
which originated at a political meeting in the
Sixth ward. On Friday a man named John Ri
ley tiled from the effects of Injuries inflicted by a
gang of unknown rowdies, as ho was passing quiet

"These are tho occurrences of live days—all of
them brutal in the highest degree; four of them

and another probably, aro murders. Yet, wo may
nay it without doubt or hesitation, no ono will be
punished. Thera will be no conviction for the
murder, at least. The innocent have boon killed ;
the feelings of a wife and family cruelly outraged;
note which would disgrace Indian Sepoys have

Whilo NVO do not second the harsh construe
tion - put upon Mayor Woon's suggestions by
the Evening Post, Nve certainly cannot endorse
the language and remedies of that functiona
ry's late message, which we arc not surprised
to see has been severely criticised by the New
York press. We cannot find any reason in ap.
peals to the poor against the rich, or in re
commendations to support, from the public
funds of a debt-ridden and tax-burdened city
by new taxes, a population capable of such
excesses as the above. The precedent is full

for the celebration of the nuptials of Miss Hannah
C—, n lady of superior refinement and ability, of
the vicinity of Baltimore, and Mr. V— B—, of
Now York, a gentleman of reputed ability es a
scholar and poet. The invitations had been
gotten up in tine gilt, and sent to tho several
friends, inviting them to the marriage. On the
Tuesday preceding the appointed day, the bride
to he remarked to her intended that something
seemed to tell her that she would never become
the bride of her choice ; that oho would soon wed
the realities of eternity. The groom replied to
her with levity, to dispel her gloom; but on the
following day, Wednesday, she felt so indisposed
as to take to her bed, from which time her strength
and faculties began seemingly to wane till Thurs
day morning, at 10 o'clock—the hour appointed
for the nuptials—when she breathed her lamt,witli
out having evinced the slightest bodily pain from
the first hour of her illness.

The trotting match between the Taylor and
Dalton horses, Doctor and Broker, at Bridgeport,
Conn„ on Friday last. was won by the Dalton
horse, in ono hour, thirty-two minutes and thirty
six seconds. The Taylor horse broke badly during
the race, and on the last homestretch ran by the
other, coming in a neck ahead. Ins running, how
ever, disqualified him from taking the puree, and the
judges decided in favor of Broker. The two kept
very near together during the whole race, and di
vided the half miles about equally. Their first
halt mile was made in 1:45 ; their last In 1:43;
while the least time was 1:39, and the longest 2:01.
Mr. Dalton stopped his hone three times for rest,
but the other kept on the traek from the start to

EARLY POETICAL NOTICES OF THE
AMERICAN EMIGRATION.
[O'er The Press.]
It would be a curious as well as an interesting
task to trace the effect Widish the discovery of
America has produced upon English literature,
and, if eonduoted In a spirit of proper philo
sophy, might educe conclusions of a very sur
prising nature. Without going further into this
view of the subject, however, wo desire to call
attention bore to the earliest mention we can find
in English poetry of that great emigration woes
the Atlantic which has given to the English tongue
'a fro4h)onso of immortality, by converting an in
sular language,into that of a continent. The first
petition' notice of the discovery of America that
occurs in English literature Is contained in Run
tol's Interlude, printed by Wynkyn do Word°,
about 1510:
Within Msa yore

That we auver bawl° telt of before this," &o
The discoveries of Oolumbus, however, were not
soon followed up by English colonisation, and we
thereforo need not look for any very clear allusion
flier* in English poetry, until tho beginning of the
Seventeenth century,' when the Massaohusetts and
Virginia imtuparties , were about Waking , their fa
mous settlements. But then a bard, indeed, ORO
to lhO rescue. In ?Cahoot prvton's Qdo
the Virginia Voyage, published in 1619, there
breathos a spirit worthy of the occasion. From
its many splondid verses we cite the following :

Set JUAN DEL NORTE, Sept. 29, 1857.
By the brig Ocean Bird, which leaves this port
to-day, I have an opportunity of sending you the
latest DORI from this region.
The Americans iu Nicaragua have been expelled
from the country by a decree of Martinez and Je
rez, issued in Monagua in the fore part of this
month The decree ordered the expulsion of all
those who served in the ranks of Walker, and not
only those, but nearly every American in the own s.
try. including many honest and industrious mon',
wto have been driven Cut at three or four days:
notice, leaving their property and interests be.
bind. The Amerloan flag aotrlally affords no pro.
tootion to our countrymen hero. Col. 'Jasper, the
only American living in Granada, or in that part
of the State, claimed tobe an Englishman in or.
der to have security and protection. It is a humi
liating reflection to an American, that, while old.
tens of petty German and Italian States live here
In perfect seeurlty as to life and property, the broad
banner of the Stars actually affords 110110 at aU to
its subjects. '
Many of the persons who have been banished the
country are known'to be of worthy, honest diame
ter, and not to have boon engaged in tho service of
Gen. Walker. But this ample thou little with the
potty chiefs who rule in Nicaragua, and who are
prompted to this course only by a blind hatred of
our nation and people in general.
If an American remonstrates against any abuse,
or threatens to complain to his Government, ho is
only answered with the trite sneer that the United
States never protects her citizens ahsoad. The
least our Government can (IN is to send an envoy
to protect the few Americans here, and to open
the deers of this new Japan to all such honest men
as may wish to enter and carry on any peaceful
employment.
A report has reached me that our special envoy.
Mr. Wm. Carey Jones, had been sent out of Costa
Rica by order of President Mora, he being looked
upon as possessing fillibustering tendencies. It is
quite probable that the animosity those people feel
towards us may have led them to commit this im
prudent act.
Tho elution in Nicaragua was to have taken
place on the 26th inst., anti Martinez has probably
boon elected. Martinez is a man of little educa
tion, but of a stern, unyielding character, and dis
plays more largely than any ono else the general
animosity to Americana.
It is expected in the interior that Walker will
again invade Nicaragua, and groat preparations
aro being made to receive him. A decree has been
published, forbidding all natives of the country to
leave, and ordering all able-bodied anon, between
fifteen and sixty, to hold themselves in readiness
to take up arms in case of an invasion.
I do not believe that a force under ten thousand
men would he sufficient to maintain Walker in the
country. if a smaller force is brought, it will only
be for their speedy destruction. Lot it bo remoup
bored that over four thousand men were lost by
Walker when fighting against the Central Ameri
can States—seattored, disunited. How much
greater now must be the expenditure of blood be
fore conquest will perch upon tho arms of the
fillibuster chief! Let not young and inexperienced
men calculate too easily upon what the game will
cost, and find their mistake only when UM too late,
as did the thousands of poor fellows whose bones,
picked by vultures and gnawed by dogs, lie
bleached and sunburned on the soil of Nicaragua.
Among the passengers by the Ocean Bird, to
day, is Colonel Louis Sohleasinger—he of Costa
Rican memory. lie, it is said. intends to publish
shortly an aocount of the Nicaraguan revolution,
and somo foots with regard to the Santa Rosa
affair. Be is, it is also said, charged with negoti
ations, relative to the transit, by the Nicaraguan
Government. I , TICARAG VA.
JNTERESTINU STATEMENT BY COLONEL
SCHLESSINGER.
Colonel &Messinger has just returned from Ni
caragua, and has furnished us with some important
information upon the present condition of &hilts in
that country.
This gentleman, it is known, was an officer under
Welker and commanded at Santa kola.
Colonel Schlossinger is n Hungarian, end was in
the army under Kossuth. After the capitulation
of Comorn, at which he was present, ho came to
the United States with Governor tijhaly, and
shortly afterwards joined the expedition to Cuba,
under Lopez. lie was captured in the mountains
of Cuba, having lived a week on roots ; and after
the garroting of Lopez, ho was condemned to be
sent to Ceuta, in Africa. lie escaped, however,
from his confinement there, and returned to the
United States, and soon after got himself Into
difficulty in Nicaragua,
Colonel Schlessinger reports that, st the election
held in Nicaragua on the 20th ult., General Marti•
nez was elected by an overwhelming vote. Ile wee
the joint candidate of the Legialatiets and Demo•
crate. Martinez is a Irian of liberal principles, and
of undoubted decision and bravery, and popular
with the masses.
There were but few Americans expelled from
Nicaragua and Costa Rioa under the late deems,
Thoso expelled were parties friendly to Walker,
and who would rush to his aid should ho return
with a military expedition. A free passage was
given to the expelled to San Juan.
In rotation to the defensive preparations against
another fillibustering invasion, Col. Sehlessinger
reports that an order had boon issued by the Nita
moan Government, calling upon all the male po
pulation, between sixteen and fifty years, to arm
themselves and be ready for active service at a mo
ment's warning In this connection the subjoined
information is interesting and important.
The present forma of Nicaragua, in active ser
vice, with their disposition, and the number of guns
at their disposal. is 2,000 MOH, and 26 guns.
An army of 1,0110 mon can bo put in motion at
any point in Nicaragua in three days. Perseus
well acquainted with the feeling of the native
population deny, most emphatically, that Walker
has is sympathizer in the whole country. It is not
true that General Mods and Colonel Raymunda
Solva were sent, as prisoners, to cork on the roads
at Matagalpa, They wore both banished from the
oountry.
COLONEL SCHLESSINGER'S DEFENCE.
To the Editor of the Now York Times.
New YORK, Saturday, Oct. 21, 1857.
There are sometimes, by a strange coincidence,
a combination of circumstances which makes it an
easy task for the base calumniator to bias the pub
lic mind against the victim he chooses. Often
again, those higher in power or position, for the
mpurpose of covering their own infamy, and escap
mg the deserts ri ot' their criminality, succeed in
l.oding with unmerited contempt those whom ac
cident may have associated with them as their
h ubordinates. Unscrupulous speculators also, fear
ing that their prey may escape their grasp if the
truth be told, combine with the first named to
destroy the good reputation, and even the honor of
individuals. Such, almost, has been my fate. I
say almost, because when chance spares, amid
thousands of dangers human life, in a country
where the press is free, the opportunity ie offered
to the Individual assailed , to justify his conduct.

will shortly publish my Memoirs of Niesragsra• In
them I will submit my acts to thejudgment of the im•
partial. Meantime, I may be allowed to assert that
I will prove that I did more at Santa Rosa than any
other commander, tinder similar circumstances,
could have done, and that I wits paid for it by the
blackest ingratitude. It is true I abandoned
Walker, but never did I part with the glorious
principles of freedom and true Democracy. For
these I fought and became an exile from Hungary .
In 1848; for the same principles I bled in Cubs,
and suffered In the dungeons of Ceuta; I shall
prove that the standard of Walker in Nicaragua
was ono of personal ambition, based upon no prin.
eiples et' honor oriustfce ; that Walker did not in
tend to Ameriosnum that country, nor did he ever
dream of annexation; that his whole aim was to
become the founder of a military confederacy, qe
spotio' In its origin, tyrannical In progress, and in
tended to be united with the Southern States or
Califor n ia as a 'separate confederacy.
I here speak of Walker's political faith in April,
1858. Cireamstances may have foreed him to aban
don these night-mare visions, but these were then
his plans. I expect Innumerable asasUants in my
present position before the public, but truth will
enable me to brave the storm.
I will never allow that it may be mid that
Hungarian did forego his political principles—or
Still worse, that he became a traitor. It Is to my
self, to idy eodntry, to my frionda and numerous
acquaintances, that I owe it to defend what all
men hold dear, and though with unequal weapowl,
I will fight the battle of jostles against falsehood,.
The public, I know, most have been influenced
by the publications of these incessant calumnies,
but I shall beg them to suspend their final sen
tence until they have read the defence. I wiU
call it defence—though more properly I should call
it a statement of the truth, which will be published
shortly. Loots SenLasSraciast.
FRANCE AND RUSSIA
[Prom the Loodon,Times.l
The long-expected interview between the sove
reigns of France and Russia has now taken place.
The details have been read• by those of us who tan
feel an interest in anything which does not
concern the position of our Indian Empire.
Brilliara equipages, tine uniforms, visits to the
opera, and dinners on a magnificent seals have
delighted the assembled guests at Stuttgart; hut
the meeting itself, though held just fifty years
after Tilsit and on the anniversary of Erfurt,
will• hardly recall, except by contrast, those
celebrated interviews. If anything wore required
to prove the advance which Europe has made
in intelligence and political morality, it is the
small results which follow from the schemes and
purposes of even the most powerful rulers. We
cannot help feeling that the more the world at
large learns, and thinks, and acts, the less becomes
the influence of the individual statesman. In so
cieties where knowledge is confined to a few and
freedom possessed by none, a master spirit may
else op end change the course of a nation's desti
nies. The warrior, the orator, the theorist, stands
high above his fellows, moulds their habits, directs
their inetinets, and descends to posterity with a
vast reputation. But ea communities advance such
commanding eminence becomes more difficult, and
well-nigh impossible. The light is too great fur
any man's torah sensibly to augment It ; the tide
is too broad and strong to be diverted into a
new channel by any man's efrort. Kings be
come merely the representatives of their sub
jects' nationality—Ministers the administrators
of their countrymen's policy, and the interpreters
of their wishes. In England. where this principle
has been longest and most fully at work, power hea
descended (coin the Crown to the Cabinet, from
the Cabinet to Parliament, until the real de
bating and resolving on great measures seem at
last to have settled in the people at large.
The nation is its own house of Commons, and
the House of Commons its own Prime Minister.
And it is well for the peace and security of the
world that it should be tea The more . great pol/-
Veal ante depend on the united opinion of large
bodies, thelessliable will be the machine of Sate to
be influenced by the errors, the caprices, or the
criminal indiriatials. What has been going on in
England has had its counterpart on the continent of
Europe. In spite of socialist outbreaks and despotic
roaetions,in epithet' subverted constitutions and,een
sor-guarded pretties, the people of France and Ger
many are in no small degree the arbiters of their
own fortunes. They read, and talk, and think, and
mingle in all tho concerns of life, even though the
Cambers be closed, and the pram gives but an un
certain sound. They have the book of history
open, and may learn what have been the conse
quences of former wars, whether of religion, or
national hatred, or royal ambition. They have
also before their eyes the results of forty years of
peace. Railways uniting their great cities, steam
boats on thole navigable rivers, ports on the Ger
man ocean or the - hlediterraneen,ldoubling their
tonnage, and growing up into first-rate cities,
cotton rectories and silk factories dotted about
over whole provinces—these are the objects which
meet them on every side. There are old men
*along them, whoae lives must have been divided
into tore parted' as netlike each tether as the death's
head profile is from the living profile on meiliseval
carvings. Such men may wall compare the year of
Tilsit With the year bf Stuttgart. ' Their punt and
prime of manhood were pawed amid calamities of
which their grandchildren have often heard the
story. On both sides of the Rhine they may furnish
the cottage legends of invading armiee extending
ferscorets of miles and carrying off everything in
their way; of uncultivated fields, ruined villages,
whole populations of women and young boys—the
only leavings of the conisription--eoting mouldy
bread and boiled nettles for want of better food,
and pursuing every traveller with a dismal wail of
supplication. In each country they may preserve
a vivid recollection of military rule—the hoatile
garrisons, with their strange language and lawless
habits, the fierce commandants ever hanging and
shooting for breach of regulations, the insecurity
of female honor, the paralysis of all honest °zee
tien,. the mutual suspicion, the enepension of
social intercourse , the treachery, and the moral
degradation of that gloomy time. They may
remember their captured capitals, the blowing
up of their bridges, the spoliation of their
museums, and all the other humiliations of the
conquered. With such memories will Tilsit and
Erfurt be emaciated by the eontemporariee of the
old King who has been the host at Stuttgart.
When we compare the lot of the present genera
tion with all that has been suffered by the mon
who are now passing away, we feel that there is
little fear that Europe should be unable to judge
between good and evil.
It is therefore not to be wondered at, that a
meeting of potentates should, in the present day,
have a diminished importance. The nations •of
Europe are able to express their opinions, though
not in constitutional forms; and the most striking
feet of the age is the plain and unconcealed predi
lection of the continental nations for peace. France,
in 1855, was found, to the astonishment of the
world, to have no appetite for glory. The exploits
before Sebastopol created actually less enthie-iasui
at Paris than among many distant and uncon
cerned nations. As for Germany, it is pretty cer
tain that she will never undertake any but a
purely defensive war. Peace, then, being for the
future the probable condition of Europe, the
schemes of sovereigns must be bounded by a very
diminished sphere. They may agree to support cer
tain ministers. in certain petty States, to repress or
encourage certain ideas, to tighten or relax a pass
port system, to inertias° or lessen customs and duties
in common; but beyond their own subjeetsjand the
subjects of some weak States, their influence wilt
be but limited; and oven where they rule their
power is, in the present state of Europe, not com
plete. France and Germany, and even Russia,
must move in obedience to laws over which no
man, or body of men, has control. The highest
deliberations of Kings and statesmen must now re
late only to matters of arrangement and detail.
A DISPUTED CASE OF SALVAGE.—The steam
boat Wave, Captain Germain, while going out on
a cruise, early Monday morning, discovered a
sloop outside of the Hook, with her sails lowered
and ono anchor down ; it had been blowing agate
the previous night, and the tug ran down for the
sloop to see if she wanted a tow. No one appeared
when she was hailed, and they boarded her. The
boat was gone, and as the sloop was in au exposed
situation, Captain G. assumed that the crew were
either drowned or had abandoned the vessel, and
acoordingly took her in charge, and towed her to
the city. The sloop was the Brandywine. Captain
John L. Cures, and is .owned by J. F. tlauze
and Clarkson Ogden, of Wilmington, Del. She was
loaded with 2,40 bushels of wheat, front James
River, Va.. bound to New York. Captain Corns
states that, in attempting to enter the bay, on Mon
day night, while it was blowing heavy, his ves
sel streak on the east end of Romer shoal;
that she afterwards went off, and he made an
effort to beat her in, when, in consequence of the
blow and a head tido, lie could make no headway;
he accordingly determined to let go his anchor, and
pull ashore at the point of Sandy Rook to report
his situation by telegraph. and request a tug to be
sent to his assistance. Raving lowered his sails
into the lazy lines and anchored the vowel, he took
the man and boy, all the crow ho had, and palled
ashore about daylight in the morning Re had
scarcely reached the lighthouse and told his story,
when to his amazement, he saw o steam-tug make
fast to his sloop and lug her off. lie followed as
soon as he could to the city and claimed his vessel,
thanking the kind steamboat captain for his atten
tions to his vessel iu his absence; but be soon
learned that the vessel and cargo were claimed for
salvage. A statement of the facts has been made,
in opposition to the claim of the steam-tug. Capt.
Cures says his sloop was found before she wits lost.—

SAD ANP MYSTERIOUS APYAIII—Tyco Cialdren
Drowned and a Mother Probably.---A most mel
ancholy event occurred in this city last night,
which has resulted iu the death of two little chil
dren, and probably of their mother. This morn
ing the bodies of two children, girls—one about
two-and-a-half years, the other about fifteen
months old—were found in the water at the foot of
Brown's mill race. The bodies had not, apparent-
ly, been in the water many hours. Coroner Quin
proceeded to investigate the affair. A woman who
resided on Emmett street came and said they were
her sister's children We ascertained that her
sister was the wife of a man named Robert Gray,
who rosiaes on White street and is employed on
the paper mills at the Lower Nails. About noon
G ray wa s found, and stated that he had a quarrel
with his wife last evening, beat her, clutched her
by the throat, and put her out of doors. tine went
away with the children, and he says ho has not
soon her since. The conclusion is that the woman
is dead ; that she tither fell into the race with her
children accidentally, or threw them in, and then
followed—a aulelde. Her sister thinks she proba
bly started for her house on Emmett street, when
she was turned out of doom; and, if so, the might
have tumidentally fallen into the nee. There can
be no doubt but the mother of these children per
ished with them.—Rochester Union, Oct. 21.
