LATEST- NEWS FROM THE WAR,
.By the German steamer Bornssia, which
sailed from Southampton on the evening of the
4th and strived here on Saturday, and the In
dian, from Liverpool on the 6th, whose advices
are telegraphed from Father Point, we are put
in possession of two days later news from Eu
rope than was brought by the "Weser. A brisk
cannonading had been heard from Peschiera,
to which the Sardinians had laid siege. The
French army was operating against Verona,
which, it was reported, the Austrians, unfit to
accept a battle, had entered. The French fleet
had effected a landing on an island in the Adri
atic. Another division of the army of Lyons
had been ordered to Italy, and great quantities
of projectiles are-sent forward. Naval prepa
rations were urged forward at Toulon. There
is a report that Prussia has given-the French
Government “tranquilizing assurancesbut
she has at the same time unfolded her plan to the
Diet, convoked on the 4th, for the purpose of
marching troops to the Rhine, and it.is stated
that only when they have taken up their posi
tions will she make proposals to Franc? —such
proposals as that power will reject—when'war
will ensue. It is rumored that Turkey will
join Russia against Austria. We have a report
of an interesting debate in Parliament on the
war. • An improbable rumor slates thatKlapka
and siime other Hungarians have offered the
crown of Hungary to the Russian Grand-Duke
Constantine. The bulletins of the French army
in Italy are to be read and posted up in the
suburbs of the Empire, for the reason, accord
ing to the Minister of Public Instruction, that
“Youth is open to noble sentiments, and its
“ heart is touched by great things and devoted
“ to the dynasties that know bow to undertake
“ them.”
It will interest, though it will scarcely sur
prise our readers to learn, that Daniel E. Sickles
and-his wife have harmonized their little diffi
culty—if a difficulty ever existed between them
—and are again enjoying each other’s refined
and elevating society. Mr. and Mrs. Sickles
have, we are informed, been residing for some
lime past in the MJloomingdale district, and a
few evenings since, Mr. S. was observed taking
Mrs. S. out in his boat for a sail on the beau
tiful waters of the Hudson. Yesterday, we
learned from a source likely to he well informed,
that Mr. Sickles has notified his more intimate
friends, that be and Mrs. S. have been recon
ciled.
Perhaps, the Christian influence of the cler
gymen who manifested such a deep interest in
Daniel's welfare during his incarceration in
Washington, and his trial for the murder of
Philip Barton Key, has kindled jn his breast
the spirit of charity. Or the music of the
young juryman's violin may have reawakened
those earlier sentiments of affection which had
been temporarily paralyzed by the supposed
“dishonoring of his bed." The only regret
that the public will have is, that his vengeance
proved so fatal, and that Mr. Key is not alive
to witness Mr. Sickles' restoration to sanity,
and his full condonation of his wife's “Indis-,
cretion." She confessed all, and her husband,
it appears, has forgiven all. Would that he
had earlier learned tfie prayer, “Forgive us our
trespasses, as wo forgive them that trespass
against us." —Kew York Sun, July 12 ih.

FAST MEN.
The truism that “we live in a fast age and
fast country” did not originate with, nor was
it at first formally announced by that handsome
moral preacher, Col. Sam. Crane. The fast
man of our country unlike the same genus of
the old world, is not content with bringing ob
loquy and misery upon himself njone, but ho
tries his best, and usually succeeds in bringing
others to the same fate, lie differs from the
common street loafer, for though both are ex
crescences on society,—moral warts as it were—
yet tbe-loafer has not the talent nor the energy
to perpetrate crimes successfully. Yet both
are “fast,” in the commonly accepted sense of
that exceedingly doubtful word. They fur
nish nothing, contribute nothing to the world’s
wealth, morally, physically or intellectally.—
They are consumers without being producers.
They are tares in the great human crop.
The loafer needs no illustration by the sin
gling out fur description hero of any particular
case. Unfortunately they are too common in
every community. They have only on animal
existence. Although they may not fall within
the statute against vagrants, they are neverthe
less vagrants in fact. They haunt the doggeries
and the dens of vice and crime usually found
in large villages. If you talk to him kindly
and remonstrate with him upon his course
of life and conduct, he will refer you to his
“rights.” He will possibly inform you, if you
did not already know, that “this is a free coun
try,” and that “some folks are known to have
made their fortune by minding their own busi
ness,” although he ismot an Illustration of this
wise sentiment. And so the loafer lives on,
year after year, upon the sweat and toil of
others. This is the stuff whereof drunkards
are commonly made; sinners against their own
manhood, nuisances in society, and curses to
the world.
But the “fast man" proper, needs to be
'painted, as, happily, he is mostly confined to
the his tastes and habits can have
freer range so that, in the country,
he is rarely to be found. They are usually the
pampered and petted sons of the rich, or those
who have made themselves rich by chicanery
or positive crime ; for no man who makes his
money by honest toil of brain or muscle, will
recklessly throw it away. They are known as
“fancy" men, drive “fancy" horses, live as a
general thing in “fancy" houses, and their motto
is one word, — “Fast 1"
Within the past two weeks two specimens of
“the fast man,” have attracted more or less at
tention from the reading public. : We have a
word to say about both. Patrick Hearn, a na
tive of Ireland, but for a .long time a resident
in this country,' died of apoplexy in New York
bn th ’id of July. lie received in his ypdtha
liberal education, and graduated at Trinity Col
loge| Dublin, one of the best institutions of
learning in the old country. lie became alaw r
yer, emigrated to, this country, and settled in
New Orleans. Not succeeding well at his law
business, he accepted the office of secretary in
one of the largest gambling houses in that city,
and then his character as a fast man began,
lie shortly afterward went to Natchez, opened
a faro bank on his own account, and in loss
than a year made a moderate fortune. lie has
resided in New York ever since—about eight
years—and has boon the acknowledged chief of
the gamblers of that city, and the owner of one
of the most respectable gambling hells, if the
word “respectable” can in any sense be ap
plied to a gambling hell. It is not our purpose
to speculate upon what Patrick Hearn with his
acknowledged talent and fine education might
have been, had he chosen an honorable and
useful career. We only design to show the kind
of men that are sometimes swallowed up in this
awful gulf of sin and shame around which all
fast men sail. Thousands of mo a with talent
and energy of character, and, acquired ability
sufficient to place them in the front ranks of
literature, science, art and industry, are tempted
and fall into the ranks of the “fancy” and the
“fast.” How tempted ? Did you ever see two
perfectly sober men gamble with each other ?
Did you ever know min to become “fast,” who
were not under the influence of “the madden
ing cup ?” No ; you never did; for the sight
is quite as rare as to see a street loafer who did
not guzzle had beer and worse whiskey if he
oould get it.
But the palm must be yielded to Daniel E.
Sickles as the representative man of the fast
men of this fast age and country. In another
oolumn we publish an item from the New York
Sun, concurred in by all the leading dailies of
that city, which shows the sequel to the fearful
Washington tragedy of last winter. The “dam
aged honor” of that honorable man has been
entirely restored; his “defiled wife” as he
called her, has been purified, and we trust
Sickles’ friends—the friends of summary jus
tice by means of weapons in the hands of the
wronged—will not be astonished at the anhounce
ment that Sickles and his wife are re-united
and are living together as husband and wife.
They have agreed to forget the adultery, the
confession, the theatrical groanings, the faint
ing scones, the murder of Key, the trial with
It* thousand and one affecting incidents, with
which the reading public were sated last winter,
T.-HE TIOttA
and ijave agreed to live together once' more as |
husband ahd wifa! What aj convenient mem
ory has the honorable Daniel, if it can ignore
the story ofhis vVTte'a shaniej’forecd by hiih
upon the world to save his own neck! We
have read of the loves of tineas and Dido, of
■Parts and'Helen', innnoienl'times, and of lovers,
and love-scrapes .without tyimber in modern,
times both in prose and verse, but the love, of
Daniel the brave, and Teresa the fair, outshines
them,all. . . J
Fastidious people may say—and- the friends
and sympathizers of the murderer will say—
that the “little.domestic difficulty” of last win
ter, which, for a time, interrupted the course of
their connubial bliss, and their subsequent re
union, are things with which the public have
nothing to do and ought to have nothing to say.
But such persons must remember that their
only cause of sympathy for Sickles was that he
had been driven by desperation to rid the earth
of one who had dishonored his household. If
Sickles believes that his hecrthstono. was puri
fied by that murder, and acts on that belief,
must his sympathizers believe so too ? The
fact is that Sickles had no honor to wound or
destroy, as this sequel fullyj proves. lie was a
“fast” man and a “fast” politician, believing in
“fast” morals. When a crime like his, perpe
trated by him or such ns him, under any cir
cumstances whatever, can fiiid apologists among
the learned and the cloqujent, who will deny
that “we live in a fast ago and fast country ?”
A New Laughing-Stock.
Really the gods are good. If Pan is some-
during the present season, a little nig
gardly, or red-eyed Mars musually rampant,
have we not always Mourns with us, and reason
to bless the sensitive divii itiea that banished
him from Olympus? IVhat an intolerably dull
world this would bo if all ' ho fools were out of
it! But we need not fear t failure of the suc
cession, while the sunny section of this confe'd
eracy continues to produce such a crop of choice
ones born to the motley. The last and finest
fool who has wandered ho - e is an ancient gen
tleman from New Orleans—a certain General
Palfrey—who left Massachusetts half a century
ago, and who came to Boston to celebrate the
last Fourth of July. Had he but made his fes
tive and anniversary visit about a year sooner,
he might have eaten dinric: at the Revere House
with the Hon. Ben Hallo :t, and filled himself
at that peripathetic and perennial fountain of
patriotic dishwater. Had ho even given notice
of his intention of visiting Boston, different ar
rangements might have lifcon made. Uufortu-,
nately, his guide took bin to the Music Hall. 1
Unfortunately, Mr. George Sumner was the
Orator of the Day. Unfortunately, Mr. Sum
ner did not know that the Now Orleans gentle
man was In the house, and so missed the op
portunity of gratifying a personage so illustri-'
ous. Unfortunately, Mr, Sumner, instead of
spouting in a safe and general way, after the
old fashion, discussed freely and earnestly the
Drsd Scott decision, and d d not speak in very af
fectionate languageof Mr.Chief-Justice Taney.
To this, Gen. Palfrey was obliged to listen.—
His too officious friends had probably conducted
him to a front seat, so th it egress would have
boon difficult; and, piersed or displeased, be
was compelled to stay. If Mr. George Sumner
had been speaking in New Orleans, or even in
Washington, the Genera might have silenced
him by knocking him down; but such an ex
periment, however swe it, safe and effectual
elsewhere, would have been a perilous one in
Boston. So the martia veteran had to keep
quiet. "We do not understand why he did not
go info convulsions. His escape frpm apoplexy
appears to us little short of miraculous. But
lie did escape, and, the c ration delivered, w?nt
dowti to Fane nil Hall, w th a soar Stomach rind
a feeble appetite, for his linner. Hero he mas
ticated in grim wrath’ until somebody gave
“Cotton (Toth,” or “Civ ton Culture,” or "Cot
ton Gins," or “Cotton H ats," or “Cqtton some
thing,” and the company called upon Gen. Pal
frey to respond. He arise. lie pulled out the
plug—if we may use the expression—and del
uged the country with molten lava. lie re
lieved himself. “lie tbjought,” says the report
“that it was rather hard to be invited to a cele
bration for the purpose of hearing the laws of
the United States trampled under foot.” He
considered Mr. Sumner's oration ill-timed, and
“he was not afraid to say so.” OF course, he
was not afraid. He kiiew how perfectly safe
he was in Boston. He know that no tarpot
-was bubbling in the neighborhood. He knew
that the company woul i keep their feathers to
sleep on. He knew that no bludgeon would
drum a retaliatory tattoo upon Ins reverbera
ting cranium. lie know that no committee
would wait upon him,land warn him to leave
Boston within twelve Honrs. Of course he was
not afraid. )
Cut suppose that at t Fourth of July dinner
in New Orleans, some ardent Now Englander,
having listened to a spicy and spasmodic attack
upon his opinions, or to some concentrated sneer
at the home of his love and honor, should dare
to rise and to speak p ainly in their vindica
tion ! Imagine the riot! Picture the excite
ment! Think how the shower of champagne
glasses would thicken around his fated brows !
What meetings would .there be! What immo
vable atid active cotnir ittees! What thunder
ous resolutions! Witty what rapidity would he
be hurried from the c inner fable to the {ail,
and from the jail to the railway station ! Nay,
the unfortunate offender might fare worse. His
house might be ransac ted and his shop plun
dered ; his family might he insulted, or might
read in the morning p ipers that its head had
been hung from a lamp-post, or that the pistol
or the knife had done the work of the halter!
0 ! it is all very well ipr some wandering patri
arch, the owner of a score or two of black men,
when he comes within our borders, to assert
and to exorcise, freedom of speech, in a way
which may make us very sick if it does not
make us very savage! We must sit and quietly
listen while some insane babbler blasphemes
our religion, sneers at our policy, questions our
patriotism, distorts on - motives, and insults our
common sense. It ha 3 not occurred thus far to
these tindery folks that their blundering non
sense is possibly as iisagreoable to us, espe
cially upon the Fourth of-July; ns the plainest
anti-slavery discourse conld possibly he to them.
That is because we do not have their own.
straight-forward, practical and unscrupulous
method of protest. fllhis is because, when we
are insulted, we keep bur tempers, and too often
hold our tongues..
We suppose that this singular lack of com
mon courtesy and cowjardly fear of taking what
they have such a will for giving, exhibited al
ways when Southern |mea find the most insig
nificant occasion therefor, may be attributed to
COUNT'S, AGITATOR.
a certain brutality of intellect to be observed
also In "some of the lower forms of animal life.
The old gentleman yvho made soch a distress*
ing Show of himself.in_FaaehiJ. Hall is not to
be despised, for he is a human being. Foolish
_ond .weak, as .he.is, he.ia_atill “a man and.a
brother.” If Providence has not bestowed
upon Inin the’ ordinary , intelligence of human
ity, or if his opportunities have been so limited
that he cannot deport himself decorously at a
civilized dinner-party, we should regard him as
we do the-inmates of a lunatic hospital, or of a
school for feeble-minded youth. No moral law
commands us not to laugh at him in our sleeves.
And if such law existed, it would not he res
pected. But we will be contented with a quiet
giggle. When a hull-dag has lost all his teeth,
he may growl as deeply as ho pleases. When
he has not lost his teeth —when he can bite as
well as snarl, and proposes to exercise the biting
faculty upon our calves, it may not he amiss to
brain him. But an ancient Tray, like Gen.
Palfrey, should be privileged to go through tho
whole gamut of growls, and to vary the per
formance, if he pleases, by a solfeggio of snarls.
And in this view of the matter seems to have
been that of the Faneuil Hall company. Gen.
Palfrey was not angry enough to run away
without finishing his dinner—he was too old a
dog for that—so that, after the repast was over,
and people were leaving the banquet-hall, a
small sort of lawyer got upon his legs and
“proposed a toast complimentary to the Grenc
ral.” Then somebody called for the inevitable
three cheers. Then some others shook the in
evitable General by the band, so that he went
back to his tavern quite mollified, and reassured
that there was still a little Hough left in Bos
ton. We think that herein the more sagacious
spirits in the company pursued a judicious
course. Had Gen. Palfrey ambled away in his
wrath, nobody can tell how much tho trade of
Boston might have suffered. And if there was
policy in these little attentions, there was also
humanity. This native of Boston was spared
the pain of feeling that flunkeyism had alto
gether died out in tho city of his nativity; and
he will return to his Crescent home to tell his
neighbors that while the public men of New
England are hopeless traitors, the gentlemen
who eat the public dinners are not bad fellows
to break bread with after all.—-V I* Tribune. '

The Fourth is Chatham.
Mr. Editor ; The glorious Fourth has come ■
and gone,sand we would beg permission to bo- j
cupy a‘ place in your columns for the purpose
of telling your numerous readers how the lib
erty-loving people of Farmington and Chatham
spent the day. At an early hour—not the roar
of cannon, hut the explosive sound of an anvil
announced the arrival of Independence day.—
Soon people might have been seen flocking from
all quarters to a beautiful eminence situated
near the line of Chatham and Farmington,
where n table stood spread with delicacies ;
,after taking a cursory view of the refreshments
prepared, they all withdrew to a newly erected
barn a few feet distant. The meeting was
called to order by the President, Sir. Ansel
Wright, of Farmington, and a prayer offered by
the Chaplain, Rev. C. D. Kinney, also of Farm
ington. Next, singing by the Choir was an
nounced by the President. “We wiil change
the order” said the President “and have a song
by Rev. Mr. Hammond of Covington." “I did
not think of being called on to sing,” replied
Mr. Hammond, “but when I look around me, I
feel as though I could as'-weil sing to these
blaok-Oyed girls and boys as not; (this was
said in reference to the Sabbath Schoolchildren,
for whoso especial benefit the festivities were
originated;) then notwithstanding the cold
north wind was blowing fiercely in his face, he
poured foptHjsuch a gush of bird-like music as
we have seldom ever listened to. If the pleas-
of the hour had closed with the singing of
that song, we should have been satisfied.- But
this was not nl), for we were soon permitted to
hear an address from Robert Caseboer 'Esq,,
and we felt while we listened 1 to-the instructive
lesson presented, that no one could hear with
out beirig benefitted." 1 At the'close of Mn-Case
beer’s discourse, Mr. Hammond made some
very pertinent remarks : then the children-' and
their teachers marched to the table and partook
of a bounteous repast. They wore then called
to march some distance, while children of a
larger growth weje being regaled.
Dinner over, all were again seated in and
around the barn. After singing by the Choir,
the Rev. Mr. Hammond delivered an admirable
address, to which all listened with evident de
light. Then to crown the whole,.a Committee
of six was chosen to attend to the arrangement
of a celebration for another year. Three cheers
were given, a salute fired, and all left for home :
apparently well satisfied with themselves, their
neighbors, and the world at large.

Louisville (Leeomptonite) Courier.
To the above paragraphs we call the earnest
attention of our readers,, and especially of those
who have been co-operating with the modern
Democratic party. Th i reply to the Enquirer,
quoted above, is in the exact language of James
Buchanan accepting the Democratic nomina
tion for President in 1850.
“We have no confidence in a man who broke
his Presidential oath, who is without principle,
other than success, and without faith, except in
his own destiny.”
So says the Patriot and Union, speaking of
the Emperor Napoleon. If our cotemporary
would turn his powerful, battery in the direc
tion of Washington instead of Paris he might
do terrible execution—for what is the difference
between breaking a “Presidential oath” and
breaking "Presidential” pledges. With a man
of honor a pledge is as sacred as an oath— and
it seems to us that having “no confidence ” in
the man who “broke his Presidential oath” and
full "confidence” in the inan who violated his
“Presidential” pledges, is very much like strai
ning at a gate, and swallowing a sawmill.”—

JUST PUBLISHED,
A Uew Method .for the Piano Forte.
. BY CUAKJ.ES GROBE.
Ojm* 1100.
A good instruction book for the Piano has long been
wanting, and Mr. Ciiaui.es Geode has performed the
labor, in getting this one up in n most admirable and
satisfactory manner. It wili prove itself to of
the most valuable guides in the instruction of the art
of playing the Piano.
Considering tho author’s well known capacity, and
long and unremitting devotion to tho task of elemen
tary teaching, we have strong reason to hope that the
public are now to be furnished with a thorough, sys
tematic, progressive and entertaining method for tho
Piano.
We can confidently recommend it to teachers and,
•pupils as better adapted to the purposes of clemcntcry
instruction than any others with which wo are ac
quainted.
Ella Maria Burt.
The plan pursued in this work is substantially the
sumo as that developed in Olleadorf’s method of teach
ing languages. It commences with the simplest ele
ments. The made will be gradual, so that
every stefc will be perfectly intelligible, and be ren
dered of positive value to tho pupil. Every difficulty
is met with singly, and, after thorough analysis, over
come by practice.
This method will, undoubtedly, provide teachers
with a well digested, progressive and entertaining
plan by which a sound and correct knowledge of tho
art of playing the piano may be acquired with com
paratively little labor, and in so short a space of time
as will almost seem incredible to those who have con
fined themselves to some of the tedious systems here
tofore in use.
_ Tins work contains ten engraved figures, illustra
ting tho different positions of the bands and fingers ;
and also a likeness of the author.
Its typographical accuracy and appearance hare
never been equalled in any musical work that has
heretofore been issued from the press in this or any
other country. J
Copies will be sent by mail, free of postage, on the
receipt of the marked price.
