From Europe.
The arrivals of the steamships Vanderbilt
and Bavaria at this port, puts us in possession
of advices from Europe to the 22d ult. The
nows—although the great battle for which every
one was looking had not taken place—is im
portant, inasmuch os it foreshadows that battle
and the results likely to flow from it, and shows
the situations and feelings of the combatants
and of those who .may soon become combatants.
The Allies had almost reached the borders of
the famous Quadrangle, and the Austrian head
quarters were at Villafranca, which is about
midway between the fortresses of Pesohiera
and Verona, and upon the roaci from the
latter place to Mantua. Garibaldi was on the
western shore of Lago Garda, and had moved
to within a few miles of Peschiera, when the
appearance of a superior force obliged him to
retire. Napoleon, whose headquarters had
latterly been at Brescia, whence the Monticur
now receives telegrams, had left that place to
advance. The Allies had been marching leis
urely through a smiling country, the inhabi
tants of which rose to greet and Join them;
while the Austrians were retreating in such hot
haste that the march partook of the character
and inspired the sentiments of a fight. They
gave, it is staled, many opportunities of attack
to the foe, which were not improved. But it
seems probable that it was the intention of Na
poleon to defer an engagement until Prince Na
poleon, with the French fleet, could attack the
Austrians in the rear. An indication of the
feeling of Venice is given which describes the
exultation of the inhabitants on hearing that
the French were at Padua, and the riots which
sprung up in consequence of that false report.
The motives or want of motives, the policy or
impolicy", by which the Austrians have been led
to abandon their strongholds and fall back in
such a hurry to the Mincio. continue to be
matter for speculation, as their inaction after
crossing the Ticino and overrunning Sardinia
was; and speculation is quite as idle now as it
was then.
Meantime, the new Government of Lombardy
has quietly gone into operation, and Modena
and Bologna were making preparations to gov
ern themselves. In the Papal States there had
!I'M’it further troubles, and Swiss troops had
been sent to Perugia to put down a rising there.
The purpose of Prussia in mobolizing her army
was not fully known ; but the prevalent opin
ion was that she designed to put herself in the
position to act as armed mediator between the
belligerents. Little hope was, however, enter
tained that her efforts would be successful, and
it was generally believed that, whatever the re
sult of the expected battle on the Mincio, she
would thereafter become a party to the war,
which, in that event would involve all Europe.
The departure of Kossuth for Genoa and the
proclamation of Gen. Klapka were considered
ominous of such a war.— JVcuj York Tribune,

Douglas Defines his Position.
'Washington, June 22, 1859.
My Dear Sir—l have received your letter, in
quiring whether my friends are at liberty to
present my name to the Charleston Convention
for the Presidential nomination.
Before this question can be finally deter
mined, it will be necessary to understand dis
tinctly upon what issues the canvas is to be
conducted. If (as I have full faith they will)
the Democratic party shall determine in the
Presidential election of 1860, to adhere to the
wruvwv I s&wv^-hnd : rdtined o f rue people M tire
Presidential election of 1852, and re-affirmed
in the Kansas Nebraska Act of 1854, and in
corporated into the Cincinnati Platform of 1856,
as expounded by Mr. Buchanan in his letter
accepting the nomination, and approved by the
people in his election, in that event my friends
will bo at liberty to present my name to the
Convention if they see proper to do so.
If on the contrary, it shall become the policy
of the Democratic party (which I can not antici
pate,) to repudiate these time-honored princi
ples, on which we have achieved so many pat
riotic triumphs, and, in lieu of them, the Con
vention shall interpolate into the creed of the
party such new issues as the revival of the Af
rican slave trade, or a Congressional slave code
for the Territories, or the doctrine that the Con
stitution of the United States either establishes
or prohibits slavery in the Territories beyond
the power of tho people legally to control it as
other property, it is due to candor to say, that
in such an event, I could not accept the nom
ination if tendered to me.
Trusting that this answer will be deemed
sufficiently explicit, I am, very respectfully,
rour friend. •*? A TWr«r.*«

Croakers and the Crops.— ln point of fact,
it now begins to appear, as we suggested at the
height of this calamitous chorus, that the mis
chief really done by the June frost, of which so
much has been said, is neither very wide spread
nor at all irreparable. Farmers of intelligence
and experience did not need to be told, from the
first, that had the prostration of the growing
crops been as severe ns it was stated to be, the
season was still not too far advanced for profit
able replanting : and the great body of dealers
in breadstuffa never for a moment wavered under
the infiuence of the abortive panic.
The most biting effects of the disaster appear
now to have been confined to a small region of
our own State, and to the upper part of Wis
consin. In Canada, Illinois and Northern Ohio
it is even an open question whether the harvest
will not on the whole be improved by this sharp
■“counterblast to the flies.” In the actual un
certainty of affaiys abroad, anything like a
positive disaster overtaking our American agri
cuitura would have been a misfortune to the
whole world. We may, therefore, honestly re
rcjoice that the prospects of our Western coun
try are still such as to promise ns a busy season
of widely-developed and remunerative com
mercial activity.—W. Y. Times,
What Virginia Thinks of Maryland. The
Old Dominion accuses the Maryland Slavehold
ers’ Convention of a lack of pluck, as we infer
from the following remarks from the Norfolk
Southern Argus :
‘•Well, the Marylanders, after having a-grand
and imposing Convention on the subject, have
decided to do nothing in regard to the ‘immense
and still increasing ■ free negro population of
the State.’ With the incubus of 74,783 free
blacks against 90,368 slaves in the State, they
have determined substantially to let the matter
rest. Of course, the people of Maryland have
the rijglit to settle the question for themselves;
but it is easy to sea that the tendency of their
policy will be to wipe ,out Slavery from among
them, at g comparatively early 4 ay , We ghft fj
cease to regard Maryland as i «)»„ State

the South for 11 long time past.”

The flbrjrhnd Convention.
The irrepressible straggle between Freedom
and free labor on the one hand, and Slavery
and slave labor on tbe other, enunciated and
argued by Mr. Seward in his great speech at
Rochester last Fall, has had a beautiful illus
tration lately in Baltimore. The politicians of
Maryland met to devise means to drive out tbe
free negroes of that State by perpetual banish
ment ; or in case this plan should fail, to re
duce them once more to a state of servitude.—
Although this Convention was presided over by
one of the Senators in Congress from that State,
and although they were enabled by the local
pro-slavery press to raise quite a furor, yet their
blind fanaticism defeated tbe ends in view, and
the Convention, like many other Southern'af--
: fairs, was an exceedingly decided fizzle.
Tbe free negroes of the South are for the
most part those who have been made free by
1 the acts of their masters. It would be barbar
ous enough, hut still even this, would be in
keeping with the spirit of Slavery to make them
responsible fur their abhorred condition. One
might suppose that to be black or even slightly
colored is bad enough, but to be free besides,
seems in tbe eyes of these patriotic gentlemen,
a most horrible state of affairs—calling for im
mediate action. Tbe free blacks are pronounced
nuisances, and these lovers of the Union and
of the rights of their sister States, propose to
quarter these “nuisances’' upon their neigh
bors.
The Convention referred to, will have its mor
al effects upon the politics of the whole country.
It shows clearly and we think conclusively that
the doctrine of Mr. Seward was not a political
sophistry, or revolutionary theory, as it was
pronounced to be by the Mulatto Democratic
editors, bat a living, palpable sequence, growing
out of the relations of freedom and slavery.—
Every act, every measure of the pro-slavery
party of the country shows its truth, and how
ever much that party may try to cover up and
hide it, it is none the less true. When Mr.
Lincoln was engaged in fighting his gallant bat
tle against Douglas in Illinois last year, the
latter tried to shirk the question by sophistries,
and brow beatings, and quibbles, and dodges of
all kinds, but tho conflict between free and
slave laborwas kept
moral victory was his. And so every time and
place and occasion, wheji this conflict is made
plainer to the people, whether it bo in a slave
or in a free State, someltbing, however little it
may be, is gained to freedom. This is why we
say that the late Slaveholders’ convention of
Maryland will do good to the country. Its ac
tion and result have in them more real signifi
cance than all the Southern Commercial Con
ventions which the fanaticism of the fire-eaters
ever devised. It did not meet to plan how to
educate the young gentlemen of the South with
out sending them to northern colleges—though
j this of itself is a very commendable object—
i but to devise means whereby those young gen
tlemen might avoid the necessity of coming in
contact with anything free except white men.
No doubt that these slaveholders are tired of
having in their midst a population which con
tinually reminds them of the injustice of sla
very, and after all it is not strange that they
should aeek their banishment or re'dnslavement.
If the latter plan were adopted, and if these
seventy odd thousand offending free negroes
| should bring anything like a decent price, the
j treasury of Maryland would be very conslder
| ably improved.
I If the Jeffersonian principles of non-exten
j sion of slavery were adopted by the government
I of the country the political aspects of this ques
tion would soon be settled. But so long os the
pro-slavery party seek to spread it over new ter
ritories and to force this question upon every
man, just so long will anti-free-negro conven
tions be held. Truly the struggle is irrepres
sible.
On Thursday, June 30th, Monsieur Blondin
successfully accomplished the feat of walking
across the Niagara river, on a tight rope, in the
presence of a crowd variously estimated at from
five thousand to ten thousand persona. He
first crossed from the American side, stopping
midway to refresh himself with water raised in
a bottle with a rope from the deck of the steam
er Maid of the Mist. The time occupied in
the first crossing was seventeen minutes and a
half. The return from the British to the Ameri
can side was accomplished in twelve urinates.

The Pension Office had upon its rolls on
the 30 th of June, 1858, the names of two hund
red and fifty-three Revolution try soldiers. Of
this small remnant of heroes information has
been received that during the succeeding half
year forty-six went to their leng account, leav
ing upon the first day of the present year two
hundred and seven survivois. The ages of
some of these soldiers are stated to have been
from one hundred to one hundred and three
years. Thus is dwindling away the small num
ber of that gallant band whic it has come down
to us from a former generatio), to pass forever
from the earth before this generation shall have
finished its work. At the period above referred
to there were four thousand two hundred and
nine widows of Revolutionary soldiers upon
the pension rolls, and in six months death di
minished that number by two hundred and
ninety-five. Of those living this year forty-five
were the wives of Revolutionary soldiers before
the termination of the great struggle.

the clergyman. Like the first because I repeat,
“going, going,” and like the second because “I
must say one more word, my dear brethren and
sisters, and I have done.” My “one more
ward,” relates to that part of the inhabitants
of our little village, (and of other places) some
times called “Young America." The aforesaid
class may be divided into two sections. Sec
tion first, comprises those interesting young men
who promenade the street, dressed in the last
city style, with gold chains, and watches, gold
rings and white bands and faces. They are the
young men who smoko the best Havannas,
drive the fastest horses (“2:40 on the plank”)
and wear the most killing moustaches. They
are above labor of course. Most of them are
candidates for admission to one or another of
the “professions." A few are embryo mer
chants, for you know that it is genteel, and
proper to measure silks, tape, and ribbon, but
entirely out of the way, not at all, “the thing,”
to work at any useful trade. When the “upper
ten” “receive,” they can’t go lower than a
clerk, and ha must be fashionable. What do
you suppose would hire one of these young
gents to get up in the morning and split wood,
or work in the garden, two hours hofore break
fast? Work! not they 1 but when the break
fast bell rings, they appear in morning gown
and slippers, which they seem to consider very
elegant. To my untutored eye, this dress only
suggests two of my good Aunt Keturah’s most
emphatic words—slouching, and shiftless.
So much for personal appearance. If you
should be curious to sound the depth of our
Young America’s minds, just try —it won’t take
long. Pass by their Latin and Greek, and ar
gue with them any lice question of the day,
and you will soon find them nowhere. Yet these
are the pride and hope of our glorious country,
the “bone and sinew” of our body politic, the
future supporters and defenders of our freedom
and independence, the worthy sons of patriotic
sires, and oh dear! all the rest of it. You

Now “my dear hearers,” we come to section
second. Now there may be a diversity of opin
ion os to our young people of section first. —
There may be young ladies who admire these
doll-baby, men; who think their manners so !
graceful, their voices so sweet, and who give
them the credit of being handsome, interesting,
and “perfect loves.” Well! “every one to
their taste.” But as regards No. 2, it seems to
me that none but the most partial parents can
consider them anything but unmitigated little,
nuisances. In the street I mean, at home they
are at liberty to suck candy, make faces, and
whoop and halloo like Indians, if they and their
guardians see fit. |But isn’t it delightful to
drive a span of “skittish” horses up a street,
where ten or fifteen juveniles are letting off fire
crackers. “There she goes Bill” says one, and
there she does go, and well for you if you can
stop your horses in time to save your neck.
Then foot-races. They are healthy no doubt,
interesting of course to those who engage in
them, but I maintain that the sidewalk is hardly
the place for such exhibitions. “Go it Jim, I’ll
find the oats,” and Jim “goes it” bareheaded
and perhaps barefooted, down the plank. The
ladies, for whom the sidewalk is none too wide
young savages. My little man, said I the other
day to some little Tom or Harry, dont you know
it was very rude for you to crowd those ladies
so? “Be they youm t” Mine said I, no, I don’t
own the article but, “Well then, sposo you fol
low your nose right home.” Restraining a
strong inclination to box fiis ears ; but little boy
said I, — “Go to thunder! says Young America
1,2, 3,4, and off I go, and I’ll get to" the gro
cery first.”
Disgusted with my missionary efforts I turned
and went, not to thunder, as my young friend
politely requested, but about my business. I
know old bachelors are called hard-hearted, not
fond of children &c., but if this sort of thing
is agreeable to anybody, his heart must be very
soft, to say nothing of his head.
Well, good bye. lam off now, to “parts

Escape from Bdrial. —The Peoria (111.) 1 Union
of the 6th inst. learns from Mr. B. D. Story, of
Medina township, in that county, that his daugh"
ter Elizabeth, a girl of about nineteen had a
veritable trance a few days ago. The only pre
monitory symptom seems to have been that on
the previous morning she “felt like she had not
slept all night, and yet was not conscious of
having been awake." She was in good health
and spirits through the day, (31st ultimo,) but
retired early and seemed so soundly asleep when
her sister came to bed that the later could not
wake her. In the morning she was found ap
parently dead. In a few hours -preparations
were in progress for the burial of the body, and
Thursday set for the funeral. The neighbors
were called in, and after consultation, all con
cluded it best to bury her at the time suggested
—no one ■ considering it necessary to call a
physician. On Wednesday evening, however,
before the coffin had been brought, while the
younger brother was looking on the face of his
dead sister, ho thought he saw the lips niove,
and livid with fear ran to communicate his sus
picions to his mother. She was just entering
the front door, receiving some friends from Hen
ry County, and at the announcement uttered a
most agonizing shriek of surprise. This was
instantly followed by one from the chamber
where Elizabeth was lying; and when the moth
er and friends entered the room she was sitting
on the cooling board, much surprised at the al
arm of her friends as they were at her sudden
recovery from what they thought the grave.—
The joy of her friends at her recovery can better
be imagined than described. On Saturday morn
ing, Miss Story was in perfect health, but from
dread superstition will not explain her feelings
while in the state of trance. She avoids speak
ing of it.
Doubly Punished. —The other day a Dutch
man in Cincinnati was Beverly thrashed by his
“Trow," and while smarting under the infliction
he complained to the Mayor, and had his bet
ter half arrested for the outrage, whereupon
she was fined three dollors and the costs; but
she nqt having the money, her husband was
called upon to fork over. Upon which he
opened his eyes in great surprise, exclaiming,
“Votforl pay? she vipme!” The ‘'statute 1 '
was explained to him, and he paid, but an

An “Astonishing” Erkob Corrected. —A
“startling” article in the New York Herald of
the Bth instant, under the imposing head. “As
tonishing Frauds in the Postoffice Department/'
lead to the belief that the Department loses one
million of dollars a year by the use of counter
feit and washed postage stamps.
*We find, on inquiry, that no investigation has
been made leading to the belief, or even the sus
picion, that such startling and wholesale frauds
have been committed. On the contrary, careful
investigation in the Department has led to the
conclusion that, although occasional attempts
are made to use cancelled and washed stamps
in payment of postage, such attempts are rarely
successful, and that no considerable loss to the
revenue, has resulted from this abuse. We find
that the Department has no reason to believe—
either from proof or reasonable presumption—
that there has been any counterfeiting of pos
tage stamps since their introduction into the
service. The sale of postage stamps has in
creased and is increasing from year to year in
a nearly uniform ratio. Surely this could not
be the case if the statements of the Herald were
true. Moreover, it would be next to impossible
to introduce counterfeit stamps to any consider
able extent without exciting suspicion, except it
may be through the agency of dishonest post
office .officials; and in this way it would not be
possible to succeed without assistance in all the
principal offices of the Union. In no one office
could many spurious stamps be sold; because
the diminished demand for the legitimate stamps
would necessarily at once arrest the attention
of the postmaster. —Washington Constitution.

Botts Axn the Eagle. —Hon. John M. Bolts
has been addressed by a committee of natu
ralized citizens, in New York, asking his views
on the letter of Secretary Casa, which declares
that naturalization as an American citizen does
not exempt a foreigner from the claim of his
original government to his military services, if
he-voluntarily returns to his native country.
The reply of Mr. Botts is elaborate, but the
sum of his argument is contained in the follow
ing paragraph:
“My view on this question may be thus sum
med up: When one plants himself under the
wing of the Eagle; which he is
pledged and sworn to support and defend; when
he enrolls his name upon the ample folds of the
Stars and Stripes of this great American Union,
he is free to go wherever the winds and waves
may carry him; the eye of that Eagle watches
over his every step, that flag waves proudly
over his head, whether he is upon land or water,
in a palace or a dungeon; and the power that
dares to interfere with his personal liberty
whilst he is engaged in lawful enterprise, and
not offending against the criminal or penal
cod r e of that power, dishonors that Eagle and
disgraces that flag to which he appeals for his
deliverance, if it does not afford him prompt
relief and redress.”

to Ward’s Island. The dead are now all cleared
away, and the old coffins now only remain.—
Among them may be seen several in which in
fanta must have been buried. These are re
moved daily by cart-loads to Central Park,
where they are burned at night, and the smell
from them during their combustion is horrible.
The smell from the boards on the ground is also
very bad. There is also a lot extending from
48th to 49th streets, between Fourth and Lex
ington Avenues, which is said to be a mass of
human bones. Its dimensions are 484 by 100
feet. ■'

Public men and politicans affect to think
slightly of journalism as a profession, and of
journalists as a class. Yet these are the persons
who look to editors for support in their trou
bles, aims, and ambitions, and are made and
unmade by the pen. How many leading men
in this country and abroad, have been writers
for the press ?
Wo ore requested to announce BENJAMIN VANDDSEN
of Chatham township as a candidate fur Treasurer, subject
to the decision of the Bepnbllcan County Cquvimtiion.
