FRUITS OF FAIROPEAN
Henceforth let no man speak approving
ly—as politicians, orators, philosophers, and
writers have loved to speak—of European
civilization. It is a cheat, a mockery, and
a delusion, In the Dictionary of Monarchy
it means cheating, craft, and robbery, sup
ported by falsehood, butchery, and the very
meanest hypocrisy. In times past, yet not
Tery remote, it permitted the sovereigns of
Russia, .Prussin, and Austria to divide the
greater part of the ancient kingdom of Po
land among themselves. This, done in 1772,
was followed by a further robbery of terri
tory in 1793, and the final partition, which
was also the extinction of Poland, was
made in 1795. At the Congress orVienna,
in 1815, Cracow was established as a free
city-republic, and some thirty-one years
later, without any cause alleged, this same
Cracow was seized by the then Emperor of
Austria, and incorporated in his own do
minions, with no material and scarcely a
verbal protest, from the rest of Europe.
great Britain, as we know, largely boasts
of her share of European civilization—which,
nevertheless, did not prevent her annexing
kingdom after kingdom and province after
province of India, to swell up a vast un
-wieldy empire there, in which by cannon and
bayonets is maintained a sway so intolera
ble to the natives, that, in sheer despair,
they broke out into revolt in /.857, and
were N - ery near annihilating the oppres
sors who occupied their soil. One of the
latest efforts of this boasted European
eivilizationis NAPOLEON'S uncalled for in-
Tasion of Mexico, overthrow of the -Repub
lic, and establishment of a pseudo-empire
there. In short, the monarchs of Europe
are gt o 3sping whenever they > have the
chance, and ofttimes they maim "when
they cannot find the chance—realizing the
moral of that wise fable of the wolf and the
lamb, related twenty-four centuries ago
by that famous writer lEsor, an emanci
pated slave, to whom Africa had given an
ebon skin, and to whose memory, for pub
lic services to Greece, grateful Athens
erected a statue, cut by the ekissel of LY
SIPPIIS.
The latest example of that European civi
lization which delights in robbing one's
neighbor, has just been exhibited by Prus
sia and Austria, two great Powers which
are generally antagonistic, hut (as in the
case of Poland, above stated,) contrive to
play into each other's hands whenever any
plunder is to be pouched.
As WORDP.WORTH said
" For why? Ite:...ame the rood Ohl rule
Sufileeth them; the simple plan,
That they should TANI. , who have the power,
And they should. 'KEEP who can."
Prussia and Au.stria are well practiced frti
this taking and kzeping. They have shown
it, just now, by quietly dividing between
them the Duchies of Schleswig, Holstein,
and Lauenburg, constituting wore than a
third of the whole territory of Denmark,
with tv, - o-fifths of the whole population of
that kingdom.
The facts are few and clear. Germany
wanted to obtain tlic three Duchies in ques
tion, which are " mighty con vaynient " to
North Prussia, but the rightful owner, who
bad held them from almost immemorial time
by prescription, with ownership oft con
firmed by treaty, held on to them. At the
last demise of the Danish crown, in 1803,
as a true stateincjit tells us, the minor
States of Germany assembled in Congress
declared that the Dochies devolved by,
right, not on the present King of Den
mark, but on the Duke of Augustenhurg.
To this resolution they prepared to give
effect by force of arms, when they found
themselves rudely elbowed off the scene by
Austria and Prussia, which Powers:adopt
ing the German cause in principle, took the
execution of the work upon themselves.
How they accomplished it we need not de
scribe. The Danes were driven not only
out of Holstein, which was German, but
Out of scileswig, which was Danish, and
the first result was that the conquerors esta
blished in their own favor exactly that state
of things which they had declared to be
unendurable while it Prevailed in favor of
Denmark. A mixed population of Danes
and Germans had been subjected to a
Danish Government ; it was now subject
ed to a German government, and with at
least as much dissatisfaction on the part of
the community.
The claims of the Duke of Augustenburg,
to enforce which the war, was made, are
now discarded; so arc the pretensions of
every other claimant. The King of DBII
mark, whd had been robbed of a third of
his territory, his title to which had been
guaranteed to him by Europe, is now ad
mitted also to have a good title by inheri
tance. Is he to have the Duchies restored
to him ? No, indeed. Prussia went into
the war simply for her own aggrandise
ment, and will hold as much of the con
quered territory as she can. The present
plan is this :
Austria is. to hold the Duchy of Holstein,
ind Prussia is to retain the Duchy of
Schleswig, also absolutely receiving the
small Duchy of Lauenburz, which is to be
relieved from hershare of costs of the war,
Villa will he divided by the other two
Duchies. The port of Kiel, which is in
Holstein, ought therefore to belong to Alls
trio, ; but Kiel is to be held by Prussia, until
The Federal Diet of Germany shall decide
its fate. Meanwhile, Austrhal and Prussia
may use it for their men-of-war, but Prussia
may erect the necessary harbor fortifica
tions, which are to be solely under her
command. Of course, then, Prussia will
convert Kiel into a naval stronghold, and
retain it, whatever the German Diet may
ordain, as compensation for letting Prussia
absolutely annex the Duchy of Lauenburg,
which has 450,000 inhabitants, Austria to
receive 230,000 tinders, which, at seventy,
cents per thaler (the current value), being
at the rate of half a tinier, or thirty-five
cents for each man, woman, and child in
Lauenburg. It must be owned that hu
man flesh and blood is very, cheap in that
Duchy ;
As far as Prussia is concerned, this ar
rangement will be temporary. She obtains
Holstein, a province so wholly isolated
from her that it can only be approached,
landward, through Prussia herself, and situ
ated, too, between Schleswig and Lunen
burg, both held by Prussia, which can
squeeze up Holstein at will. Denmark has
lost and Prussia will probably gain the
Duchies, the Prince of lugustenburg and
his r i va l s b e i n g nowhere. To crown all,
here are over a million of human beings,
natives of the Duchies, transferred to an-
other sovereign without the opinion or con
sent of any one of them being asked. That
was never dreamed of by the crowned rob.
berg.
Another statement, probably more accu
rate, puts the proposed money payment to
Austria at 2,500,000 thalcra, which is equal
to $1,750,000, a sum which, divided by the
500,000 inhabitants .of Lauenburg, raises
the price of each to s3.2s—women and
children paid for at full price !
Such is European civilization in the year
1865. The robbery we now record might,
and probably would, have been averted if
England—which means Lord PALMERSTON
—had only protested against it in a man
ner to show that he meant what he said.
It is believed that he did propose thus to
remonstrate; but the Duke of Coburg, who
had first set up the Prince of Augustenburg,
and that Queen VICTORIA did not wish to
go against him, because he was her late
husband's brother - . Thus a people's rights
may be sacrificed to A woman's morbid
fancy.
AFFAIRS IN MEXICO
We announced a few days ago, on the
authority of a letter from a special corre
spondent at New York, the virtual downfall
of the Juarez or Liberal Government in
Mexico. Our statement was ridiculed by a
few stupid journals, which did not compre
hend the real position of affairs in that dis
tracted country, and denounced as a fabri
cation by writers who are aiming to create
a popular excitement by disseminating false
ideas of the Monroe doctrine. We felt
satisfied, however, that the reliability of our
intelligence would soon be clearly demon
strated, but were scarcely prepared for so
sudden and complete a confirmation as has
been furnished by the following despatch
&out Denver, Colorado, which appeared in
the New York journals of yesterday, viz. :
SANTA F; August 2fi,
Via D.ENVICR CITY, Sept. 5, IStKi.
The French have occupied Chihuahua.
Juarez and his Cabinet have fled to El Paso,
which at present is the headquarters of the
Mexican Government.
The indications are that Juarez will soon be
driven front this last foothold on Mexican
soil, and will become a fugitive within the bor
ders of the United States.
The New York Tribune of yesterday,
referring to this intelligence, and to letters
from its special correspondent on the Rio
Grande, says
"A despatch from Santa Fe, by the way of
Denver City, announces the occupation of
Chihuahua by the French. and the night of
Juarez and his Cabinet to El Paso. Two letters
of our special correspondent at Matamoros,
this morning published, give a sombre view of
the affairs of the Liberal party in Mexico, and
incline us to creditthis report of the discom
fiture and flight of Juarez. His party seems
to be everywhere discouraged, and the French
nearer a peaceful occupation of the country
than they have peen since the arrival of Maxi
milian?,
The letters here spoken of are dated re
spectively August Bth and August I.4th. The
Fatter, written at Matamoros, gives the fol
hmips sombre picture of the position of the
Liberal party at that time :
[Special Correspondence of the S. Y. Tribune.]
MATAMOROS, August 14, 1855.
To-day I had a long talk on the other side of
the river with General De Leon, of the Liberal
party, and from him ,gathered some interesting
news in regard to the position and wants of
the party.
De Leon is one of the few men who have
stood by the Liberal cause in good faith, and
his position as Governor of the State of Ta
maulipas entitles his words to respect.
rib saye that the wants of his party «VP now
so urgent that unless they are met in some
way, the cause will be lost. The time has come
for the - United States to aid the party, or if
they do not see lit to go to war now, there will
be no party to aid when they think the time
has come to lend assistance. In this way ar
gues General TM Leon, and the state of affairs
m Mexico show his words to be true. The
wants of the Liberal party are very urgent.
Thew have no money, arms, ammunition,
clothing, and even provisions. The last want
is so much felt that .large bodies of men cannot
keep the field, It is only by entreaty that the
chiefs canhold them together for shertperiodS.
De Leon told the writer that he and others had
to beg them, by all they , held dear, to keep to
gether, and that he had seen the men lying on
the ground moved to tears by the words of
their leaders.
As the desperate prospects here por
trayed have been intensified since by sub
sequent successes of the French army, and
by the infidelity of some of the Liberal gene
rale, in whose good faith little reliance can
be placed, the sequel described in TRE PRESS
a few days ago, and confirmed by the Den
vet despatch, is natural, if not inevitable.
So completely has unhappy Mexico been
demoralized and prostrated by her pro
tracted civil wars, that she has no inhe
rent power capable of resisting MAXI
xxx.rAN and his French army. We must
either encounter all the hazards Of a war
with France, for the benefit of the Mexi
cans, at a period when all our best in
terests demand peace and repose, or allow
the new Austrian Emperor to grapple as
best he can with the numerous difficulties
by which he is still surrounded. If he sue
ceeds in establishing a stable Government,
he will be much more fortunate than any
of his predecessors, for they have found
the polgical elements of Mexico as volcanic
as its mountains.
THE WIRE TRIAL.
The testimony in the Wirz trial gives
horrible pictures of the outrages committed
upon the unhappy prisoners confined at
Andersonville, and it forms, as a whole, a
record too damning for credence, if it was
not confirmed by the sworn cyiden.ce of
many of our brave soldiers, Proofs of the
insufficiency of food and the wretched cha
racter of the accommodations furnished, are
accumulating in every shape. Cases arc
cited of soldiers ending their lives by sui
cide. One hundred and fifty-four dead men
in the stockade were counted by one of the
witnesses in a single day. The use of blood
hounds to track men who attempted to es
cape is fully attested. The sufferings of
one hundred and fifty men, who had been
vaccinated with poisonous matter, are de
scribed; and one witness testifies that
Wirtz and the rebel surgeons rejoiced
openly when death ended the agonies
of these victims of scientific cruelty.
shooting down our prisoners for trivial
offences, or in mere wantonness, appears to
have been a fearfully common occurrence.
It is believed that the sentinels were re
warded by furloughs for killing our soldiers
in this manner. One witness says a senti
nel, who shot one of our prisoners while he
Was bathing, obtained as a reward for his
Murderous deed a furlough for thirty days,
and another witness declares that "a young
man n•as shot by a guard, who said he
would shoot another if he could get sixty
days' furlough." The appeals made in be
half of Wuzz, on the ground that he was
merely the agent of the Confederate Govern
ment, obeying its orders, may perhaps be
well founded ; but one of the strongest
points made against hint is that, with all the
horrible cruelties described, lie was not eon
tent—he still longed for a more sweeping
and a more universal system of wholesale
slaughter, It is alleged that, in addition to
Ms own constant brutality, he declared on
one occasion, after an unfortunate prisoner
had been shot, that "if he could have his
own way not twenty-four men on the South
side would get away, either by exchange or
parole t It was not to be expected that

Ix ALABAMA the Assistant Commissioner

accept the appointment, or to obey the letter

We shall not pretend to do so, but be content
with briefly describing what manner of hooks
they are.
Ina handsome 12m0 yolume, published by
J. B. Lippincott & Co., and entitled " Teetical
Tributes to the Memory ot Abraham Lincoln,”
are two hundred and eighty-six poetical effu
sions, occupying over three hundred pages—
all upon the same sad subject. The monotony
of grief was never more apparent. Twenty or
thirty of these lyrics are very good—Bryant,
Stoddard, Alice and Plicehe Cary, Mary A.
Dennison, Mrs. Howe, Mrs. Hooper, C. G. Hal
pine, 0. W. Holmes, Henry B. Hirst, Thonias
Maekellar, Mrs. RE'mak, Dr. Stockton, H. T.
Tuekerinan, and a few anonymous persons
being the writers ; but we cannot speak ap
provingly of the majority. Most all, how
ever, appear to have been written with
thorough sincerity, if not with the best poeti
cal expression,
Mr. John H. Long and Mr. It. li. Buel, who
respectively have been'. Chief Engineer and
Assistant Engineer in the U. S. navy, have
worked together and produced, published by
J. li. Lippincott & CO., a volume called "The
Cadet Engineer, or Steam for the Student."
As a simply practical work, this will be worth
its weight in gold to those who are, or are in
tended to be, engineers in steamships of the
United States, or the marine service. The
authors begin at the beginning by describing,
with engravings, the different varieties of na
val steam-engines, then the paddle-wheel
and the screw propeller, combustion of coal,
use and expansion of steam, and so on, all
through, to the management and use of en
gines and boilers, remedies for break•doWnS
at sea, and directions for overhaulin- the ma
chinery in port. The illustrations, Chile on a
black ground, are remarkably striking. The
volume has the further advantage of being
properly indexed, which facilitates reference.
" Mrs. Goodfellow's Cookery as it Should
Be," is a limo volume of 352 pages, of which
we have received an advance copy. It will be
published on Saturday, by T. B. Peterson
_Brothers. The author, we are informed, Was
known and much valued as a cook in Phila
delphia. One of her opening chapters on
carving, is very good—indeed, the description
of a bad carver is not only true but amusing,
and the illustrative engraving a pictorial
satire. This is the best book on cooking we
have seen for a long time, the receipts being
numerous and not costly. Scarcely any article
of food used in this country but is treated of
here. We take leave to doubt the propriety,
as well as the economy, of direCting that
"reed-birds, and an other small birds, when
picked and cleaned, must have a lump of butter
the size of a hickory-nut, put into the belly."
This would take more than a half pound of but_
tar for three dozen reed-birds, which naturally
are so fat that no grease but their own should
touch them. Our reed-bird is the ortolan,
which Lord Byron justly estimated as the great
bonne bcntelie of the Italian cuisine. There are
many and good instructions here as to the
making of pickles and catnips, (a particularly
good one of mushroom catsup, so much prized
by the Trench so little known here, though
it may be very cheaply made) ; salting and
curing meat ; preserving fruits and vegeta
bles, and the various processes of making
pastry. Altogether, a good, practical cook
book.
"The Master's Calls to Thee, Young Man,"
is a tiny volume, published by the Protestant
Episcopal Society, and written by that excel
lent lady, Harriet B. McKeever, who had
charge of St. Andrew's Infant School for
twenty-seven years. She has not written it
with
_a view to her own personal profit, but
from a desire to convey good advice to the
yowl.' men of the present day. In small com
pass,'bcre is the essence of much thought,
prayer, and practical. experience. We should
wish this small volume to be on the table of
every young man, so that lie could read a few
pages every morning.

Hamill, of Pittsburg, the champion seuller
of America, expects to soon receive a challenge
from Kelley, of England, who has just beaten
Chambers, the English champion, If he does
not it is suggested that Hamill challenge the
Englishman to an international champion

as much interest as. the great fight between
Heenan and Sayers, while it would he devoid

-- An inquest on an infant at Wandsworth,
England, has revealed a sad amount of desti

youngest of Jive, and the father, having coin•

the mother, excited by the prospect of desti
tution before the family, poisoned her baby
with laudanum, and attempted to strangle
herself. A sharp little girl of ten years old,
the eldest child, was called as a witness, and
in answer to questions she said she did not
know the differencelietween right and wrong,
or whether it was wrong to steal or to tell lies.
'The father offered an excuse for the girl's ig
norance, by stating that she was obliged to
stay at home and tend the younger children

Thus equipped; and once in the saddle, the
dogs are whistled imp, the company is gather
edultogether, and the hunt begins. Each one is
familiar with the marks and brands of all the
Others, and hunts for them as well as himself.
The whole company spreads out upon a line,
say a fourth or a half mile apart, according as
the country to be hunted over is hilly or level ;
and then, all riding in the same direction, ex
amine every animal upon their route, and
driving before them all carrying their own
brands and marks. At night they pen the
herd gathered through the' day in somebody's
pen, and, if they have gathered a large num
ber, the next day they build their fires, catch
and brand the calves—branding each calf after
the brand of the cow it follows, and then turn
them out to separate and find their old ranges
again. But, if one day's hunt does not bring
in a large herd, they continue the drive till a
large one is gathered—keeping the herd al
ways Before the hunters. They drive out over
one belt away from home, and back over an
other towards it—always penning wherever
it comes convenient, and turning the cattle
out again where they are branded. In brand
ing, some are chosen to catch, some to throw
and hold, some to brand, some to mark, and
others to keep the count.
The face of the branding iron is usually three
or four inches long, and sharp—leaving only a
little fine burned line in the skill ; but, as it
heals up, it leaves a much larger ridge, and
continues to enlarge with the growth of the
animal.
Along the coast where the Country is open,
aini the cattle scatter a good deal, single hunts
last two or three weeks ; and, in such eases,
each person takes along with him an extra
horse, anti the company pack their provisions,
blankets, and cooking utensils upon a pack.
animal taken along for the benefit of the whole.
They cook, eat, and sleep whenever hunger
and night overtake them—using the prairie
for table, chair, and bed, their blankets for
cover and their sodding for pillows. It is a
wild, rough life, but full of health and plea
surable excitement, and thoroughly enjoyed
by everybody who has the courage to try it.
But dandies, doodles, and timid riders—men
who prefer parlors to prairies, lounges to sad
dles, 4nd a ride with a lady to a break-neck
drive after a wild eqw over a broken country
—will not be likely to join a cattle-hunt, nor
see it out, if in at the beginning.
DRIVING A HERD
of Wild Cattle that are only gathered once or
twice a year, and all the rest of the time are
roaming over the great plains, or hiding away
in the thickets and dense river bottoms, till
they get as wild as deers and can run almost
as fast, is no boy's play. To keep them from
scattering and lead them in the right diree,
tion, he who is best mounted rides in front,
while the others bring up the rear and ride on
the sides. As long as the herd remains quiet
the drive goes easy; but, if they "take a rush"
and get well off in a run, the rider ahead must
be upon a sure-footed horse and a good run
ner, with sound wind, or his chances are poor
for ever seeing another drive. A herd of a
thousand frightened cattle, once under way,
would run over a fallen horse and his rider as
surely and as fatally as would an engine and
train of carsupon a downgrade with a drunken
engineer; and often a stampede at night will
undo the work of a week's gathering, for no
yard can hold the press of a great herd of cat
tle when a rush is made "for a break." And,
when once out, they run a long distance, and
then rapidly scatter.
Stock cattle know nothing of salt (they gnaw
bones and lick around brash springs), nor
grain, nor hay but the working oxen are
sometimes fed with a little Corn, and
the cows that are kept around the ranch for
milk, are occasionally salted, and sometimes
fed. Now and then a ranebman fences off a
pasture for his riding ponies and mulch cows,
but often the ponies to be ridden are kept
staked, while the others run at large, and the
cows are brought up by penning the calves.
Through the day the calves of such gentle
cows as are kept for milk, are kept in the pen ;
this brings the cows up at night, when they are
pennid and the Calves turned out. In the
morning, the calves go in and the cows come
out, and so on,month in alidmonth out ; taking
up new cows as fast as the old ones give out.
it is a slip-shod way of doing, but answers
very well, especially when few care to do any
better. Cheese is rarely made. l 3 atter is poorly
made, and good butter never made at all. In
riding over the country I have often stayed
with men whose cattle covered the prairies,
and yet, not a calf kept up nor a drop of milk
in the house. I always asked the reason why
(though I knew without), and:generally got tile
same answer. The men and boys were sure to
say "too much trouble ;" the women and girls
hit it nearer—with " too lazy."
When Northern men become ranchmen they
do better ; usually giving their riding ponies a
stable, and their ranch cows a pasture ; and,
wherever a Northern woman sets a table, she
puts butter, and milk, and cheese upon it. A
Northern woman is less tolerant of Southern
habits than are the men. She is less apt to
think she likes the Country, and fumes and
frets about its fleas and bedbugs, and declares
it is a wretched place, and she is going North.
But once North again, and she is before her
husband in longing for the land of sunshine,
of fleas, and of bedbugs again, But, ",57e est

fixed price,according to age—say fourteen dol

Before that time the hunt for beeves comes
offi and each man gathers up all he wishes to
sell. When the drover conaes,it makes no dlr•
