Tho forcible occupation ufRo.tr.c by I be French,
cni-i'i.toi a mii,t i,i the great tifaum uf Euro
pean nffjirs, lit which can pause, lolake a re
trospect of ll.e pjJt. About sixteen mouth have
t !.ip.-d i-i n c the tornado of Involution t;iiUi its
much over the opposite Continent. It triumph
ed s-:J.lenly, and in appearance, completely in
France. EiJjjium and Holland were f aced I rum
il by l tie piudeilt viuldiii0' of th.;ir Monarch. In
Jvn-I ii'.J it . verted iu witnirih in vain HjrainKt
Ine. t iUaik raised I))' the. Uivcof the middle cl.is
5i fir repo-ia and commercial properity. In
Spain the iron hand of military chieftain stayed
it violence. Its distant howling alone reached
llm Uus-ha autocrat, and hi neighbou of Ihe
,oi ih. In the. central region of Europe, in lia
ly, Germany, and Ilunguiv, it still ragf with
iik ie or loss (ury.
As b. une of onr leaders may not have paid
tmirh attention to the details of these events,
tMort fimmsry of the fact explaining the posi
tion el the parties, may not he unacceptable.
Emope may lie now divided iuto four promi
nent cioups. England, holding herself aloof from
IhaeeMnft rnping around her, isquietly lUvnling
her atteni ion to the alt of peace. By a repeal of
the restriction- on the entry "f foreign ships into
her ports, she hope to extend her commerce.
Ti e mutest uf the Pope for the regal power
rtt.u-lif d lo her episcopal office, form the politl-
il cei.tre around which the second group may he
arranged. The Kalians, net long ago, proclai
med a R-public, and their ecclesiastical ruler fled
nr protection to the Kin? of Naples. That Mon-a-v-h,
in concert with tho otiicr e'eat lloman Cath
olic powers, Eranc, iustriaond Spain, resolved
on reu, stating Pin IX. by force of arms. Th
court of Portugal, though P.,mnist, has had the
wisdom to remain neutral. Tho King of Serdin
1 1, ai'vr hi3 defeat by the Amtrians.aKiini't whom
he hurt (ierhved war in order tifree hi brother
Italmns ol Lombardy and Venice, from their for-
i,;n yoke., abdicated his crown, and his success
or has Ue.'n forced to remain idle, and no doubt,
socti tly favors the designs of ihe Tope. The
King of Naples had also a direct interest in his
restoration, for he was at war with his own sub
jects in Sicily, and feared the nid and encourage
ment the Roman iiepublie, if established, might
ivt them. The minor sovereigns of Jtay aia
mere instruments of Austria, as they have been
fVpelWd from their petty principalities, an,( Witt
i, , her for a restoration. The French President,
Louis Napoleon Honaparte, suspected of a design
to c.ea'e himself Emperor, and therefore anxious
to g.iin l.i.e support of the Catholic clergy, sr.d
ti e Ii iendoliip of Austna, has iddo taken, part
with the Pope aga'ii.M the Roman He public.
Troops of France, Austria, Xaple and Spain,
have inva'b d the R.'n,an territory, and the lie
pulii..: is now at an end. It ieinai.. to be seen
uii.it airog-mei.t will be made lo leguUle the
nialiuis ihe Pope to his subjects.
The third gron;i is composed tf the Germanic
States. 11-U.inJ, lUdeiuui and Sw iirer land, seem
(juiei mn etatnrs of events, which however, mM
ii. ier.st them, as 1 1:- f .eei eigns of the two former
r.unirif s hold terntoiy i"ilij.:et to the German
K'tipiie, atid ihe King i f l'ius-i.i, who i" nlu ill to

panties into one great Empire. The plan prnpo
feii, displeased a lawn in ijnrity nf Ihe S'jver
eig'.u, and the) refused to Vicrsnize ihe Parlia
ment and withdrew their dep.ui'.s. The r. rr.nin
(t.T (livoled itell into t vo nortions, one ol which
tM claimed to act for the Genu i'. na'i'iTi, w hile
tiieniher proclaimed a liepublic in Sriilhirn

"rd d"a'li, f.'ol the Popu'dicaM have lo en de-f-.itedanl

f.fPini.i, in concert with other German mon

I'.v it the K i T-.r of 1'niMia is to tie named hereili
t iry Enrieror of C ;rnn-iy, but many of the rights
ri'ilo- ninor Sovereigns are to be left untouched.
The Ni'V St i!e will be rjlher a Confederacy than
a united Monarchy. T.. th'b pl.'n, however, it is
aia the t .v" leading Cailedie Status, Bavaria and
jutria, refuse to accede, as thi yare unwilling
to become s'l'iir linate to a Protestant Sovereign,
be mer?-'l in N'rih Germany, and urrend-r the
right c ..'h el ii:ns for it sovu-reigi to aspire to the
Jmpcrui diioity. hich was formerly elective.
)n t;ie North of Gjrmi'iy, D 'tirmrk pvjif.es
tho D itcht-jof S.'hlesrt ig and Hollc'isti i . The
itihabit.m's, bein principally tiermans, wish to

The fourth, and most interesting group, centre
around Hungary. The Emperor of Austria if King
r.t H 1051:5 but Hunjary is md"pendor,t '. t.v-
tna, just as much as thu United States would be,
if we should have su list our ulleclioii to Repub
lican Institutions, as to elect thu Emperor of Aim
Ilia lobe our President. The present Emperor
en.leavou.ed to eercjs rights in Hungary which
did not b.hing to him, according to 'it constitu
lion, and seemed anxiom to unito il with his oili
er dominions into one Monarchy. The Hunga
rians resist,! successful, deposed their King, ex
iled his family, and proclaimed a Republic with
Ku.s,utii as lV.-idcnt, The defeated Austrian
Emperor called upon the Emperor of Russia lor
aid, and the barbarian autocrat is pouriio; his
imoo. noon that couraiioous p.-ople It is lor
Russia, a contest for life of death. If the Hun
(janaus expel her troops they will invade Totaled
and mouse its people lo insurrection- Il Hunga
ry becomes independent, llie ltalim pns-ejs ions
of Ausliia may succeed in Ihro.ving ofi'horyoU':
the remaining dominions of her Emperor are
German, and e.msliluie a small kinedoin, compa
red with the vast countries be once mled. In
thai ca.e, his ultimate fata would probably be, to
become a subject ul piu -sia by the ab.orptton of
hi remaining possessions into the new German
Empire. The Sui.ar. ol Tu.Uey, whosj d.m.n
ions border on Hungary ai.d Russia, has relused
pe.mbu.on for the troops of the latter to pass
through his terr.toi iei.inoid.no attack the Hun
garians ( T Mii-ais. as they call llm-e!v. s,1 in
the rear II is his obvious policy to wish success
,o Hungary, as Ihe Russians, who hate already
robbed him ol many fur provinces, would, il in
pns-essi-mof Hungaiy, pr.-vu a dat.geious neigh
i,r 10 him. Therelosd ol lh Sultan has deeply
olleinh-d iM-ra, and il is thought that, were it
,,! for the f.-ar ol giving the Ii.iug.rii.li8 a pow
erful llv. on one hand, and provoking a warwith
France and England, 'he allies ol Tuik. y, on the
other hand, ihe Emperor would show his resent
ment by declaring war against that power, or,
what is the same thing, ordering his troops to
march through her territory, in defiance of her
remonstrance. Conflicting counts are given
of Ihe progress of the contest, but the Hungarians
seem to have met with frequant successes, and
even if conquered, they will 11 their iudepea
donro dearly.
We will close this nccessairly imperfect sum
mary, by expressing our thanks to that merciful
providence which Iks cast ur lot away from
such scenes. We live in a land of order and civ.
il and religious freedom, and our country has
power to make the nations of the earth respect
her. The lesson w hich we should draw fiom the
fate ol Europe, is a strong determination to pics
erve our Institutions, our morality and our faith,
in all their purity.
The Camp Itfeciinff.
A Camp Meeting, under the unspices of the
Methodist Episcopal Chinch, commenced at Or-
augeville, on the 3J, and terminated on the Oih ol
August. There were quile- a number of able
cleuvmeri in attendance on that occasion, and
t'ne Gospel Message was proclaimed from time lo
time, with power and in demonstration of the
Holy Spirt. We trust their "labor's of love arid
messages of peace" were not witliout influence,
and will exert a lasting benefit in time upon those
vho heard tbtin and tt 11 with greater effect in e
teuiity. We regret lo s.'V, that at a place and on an oc
casion, so solemn and sacred, as tho tented grove,
consecraie.l to the worship of Almighty God
there were congregated some disorderly persons,
who were gu.l.y of improp. r conduct. We how
ever rej .icc to know, that the violators of Law
either of the land or for Ihe Gov. rnment of the
Mooting weie rig. illy punidicd. Several had lo
p..y thtir fines, and one csiomi r was consign. d
lo Ihe keeping of Shpnff H.iyman, for an assault
upon one ol the Ministers.
Throughout the dura'ion of the meetinryhe man
agers strove to preserve order, and after allection
ately cautioning ofleiiib-rs airainst violating the
rules, were prompt to pn-et nut to them the pen
alties of the violated law i.-i sneh rases made and
provided, and for which they deserve the thanks

Prctal OuTBAor. Ihe Jasksonvillc (Flor
ida) .M-U's of the 10th has Ihe following : Our
readers will learn with regret the intelligence of
tho brutal attack upon Mr. Madison, of Marion
county. W'e understand the cause, to hove been
this: Mr. Madison and Dr. II. M. B.vme were ri
ding together past the plantation of Lui lesoti, and
witnessed some inhuman treatment of the field
hands hv himself and his overseer, Meadows.
The In u'es had caused a uwiiii to be turn in
picas i.y tlnir dug. Burleson and Meadows
were afterward i. .dieted l.tr his cruelty by the
Grand Jury of their county, and seem to have re
solved upon revenue. Tney accordingly waylaid
Mr. Madi.i.n, near Orange tunings, as he was li
ding home, attended by a servant. Idled him lo
the ground with a club, stabbed him in several
places, and left him lor dead. The seivant es
caped, and procured assistance. Mr. Madison af
terwards revived sufficiently fo make a deposi
lion before a magistrate, but lelapsed into insen
sibility, and is not expected to live. His scull
was fractured in three places, from one of which
the brain protruded. Ly ycsteidaj's mail, we
lean that Euileson has been seen in a hammock
in that neighborhood, which has since been care
fully guarded.

lo tho Eastern Penitentiary, from this county has

Our neii;l.bor Tale lakes occasion in his paper
through the pime of a correspondent, lo attack
the"itar." The colonel had better tako lhine;
coolly, lie may ex. use himself in his attempt
to raise a quarrel on the ground that it is a ques
tion of "bread and butter," as our paper is Calcu
lated to cut up fieriouslv the profi's of his estab
lishment ; but this uibloituiie should bo borne by
him vvitfi composure as il is unavoidable.
i " The above precious morccau, ap
peared in the last number of the disorgaiii
zer's journal of this place, the 41 Collinxs'
Press," yclept, the "Sar of the North."
We utterly deny tho charge of "attack," as
we are the attacked, and shall resent llir-
onslaiigh accordingly : hence, we pro
nounce the allegation as utterly deficient
in fact and destitute tf truth. We have
not alluckedie little piratical editor of that
vain-oloiious sheet, as we have ever wish
ed to avoid collision with "unull tilings,"
ami s-hotild not notice it now, were it not for
the purpose of correcting some of its gratui
tous insinuations.
The silly assertion, there promulgated,
that ve arc the author of the two articles
which have appeared in tin; Jleuiocrat, ov
er the insignia of " A Democrat of 1800,"
is, we presume, entitled to about equal
credence, with the story he has elsewhe re
reported, that the writer of these produc
tions is a citizen of Danville, His object
iu thus perverting the truth, is olniously
to neutralize the influence of our able cor
respondent, the withering f .rce of whose
truthful pen he most .sensibly feels, but of
whose name and locality he is utterly igno
rant. We will here once for all, assure
the very diminutive, self-important, and
d iwn-east-lo.iking leader of the disorgani
zes, that the gent enun who has thus so
untiici-cil'ully cxccriatid his tender hack,
and promises to cause it still to smart, is
one of our most consistent removal demo-
crats, but who un ike himself, has always so near that the expresses from East and I " n, from .Mabarr.a, and other q..ar- was laid hokllt ll:e 1M!0r,iC) wilh iniimations

Mr. Editor:
The fast is over, and the people
,, now rnasnnahlv cxt.ect the DcHtilence 1
"j j 1
to cease its ravages. A whole nation whose ;
dominions extend from Atlantic to racilic,!
from Lake to (Julf llie terror of wIiohc '
arms is feared by the most powerful a 11a-
lion that acknowledges no superior, and j
yields to no earthly strength whose in tin. (
ence for good has been felt almost from the j
ritsinc to tho setiine of the nun, aud whose
0 0
evainnlo isbeinirimilated far and wide:
n , ,
such a nation, asscmliled in grotijis, liun :
beensecn "clothed in sackcloth and ashes." 1
lis citizens have deeply l.elt llicir.sinluluess j
and unwoi'lhiiiess before llieir Heavenly
Father. With the Publican of old, they
have fmitten their breasts and with one u-
nited voice they have said, -0 ! Lord have !

llli IV ? "il 11 j i.n.iiv 1 Aiiv.yiiu.ui'1.1,- o . . . ,, 1

thee and in thee only do we put our trust. I nii'l-nfiy. This we believed a full estimate j m(Mlt t0 lIut!l) for i;s 0WI) sake) di.-linjruihh
Sparc, 0! spare us from the peslilencc j bul w0 are now '"formed that at 'J'ampa, ,,l0 Dkmochacy of Crdl'ord County. Tothom
that slalketh abroad at midni.'ht and that
wasteth at noonday."
No doubt their prayers have ascended as
sweet incense before the Lord, and why
may we not look for them to be answered.
Nay, is it not our duty firmly to believe
they will be? "Wherever two or three
are gathered together ia my name" says
Christ, "there will I be to grant their re
quests." Dut here were not only Iwo or
three, but a whple nation, millions of hu
man beings prostrated in the dust of hu
milily,earncstly begging llie same blessing.
But is it not a little strange that all this
should be done just to get rid of the Chol
era, and that too, at a time when there is a
far worse disease among us. Why it is
only a few months since the first caso of
cholera occurred in the United States ; but
the disease to w hich I refer, has for centu
ries cursed our nation and the world. The
former only deprives its victims of a few
years of toil and trouble in the world ; but
the latter ruins their reputation, strips them
of their wealth, beggars their wives and
children and after laying their bodies in
an ignominious grave, sends their sou's to
everlasting punishment. The victims id' llie
one amount only lo a few hundred, but
those of the other, have, for the last twenty
years, been thirty thousand annually.
But no fast is instituted for the purpose
of soliciting divine interposition against
such a curse. No day is recommended
by the President, "as a day of fasting, hu
miliation and prayer," No business on
the Publi.: Works is stopped. No nation
is clothed in sackcloth, and no national pray
er is ofTered up iu behalf of the poor drunk
ard. II nt mi the contrary, when some
philanthropic s-pniis endeavored to devise
means by which they might rescuo him
from his deplorable condition, the great
mass of tho people with one voice proclaim
ed against them. "Masonnry," "political
hobby," are names by which they were
wont to stigmatize their praisworlhy de
signs. Among their most strenuous oppo
sers too, were found some of "Sion's watch-mux,"
I say these things, Mr. Editor,
appear strange to
