Europs In Anas.
The armaments for the impending conflict
continue throughout the whole of the Euro
pean continent. AscorJing to the latest
statements we have been able to gather
from our European papers, the military sit
uation was about as follows :
The Prussians had under arms nine corps
ifarnu-e, numbering no lss 407,000 men.
In addition to these, municipal guard-?,
composed of volunteers, were forming in
the southern districts of Urandeuburg "and
Silesia, and a tenth corps iCarmen was or
ganizing. Prussia has concentrated one
main army in iilesia, under the commaud
of the Crown Prince, and another iu the
province of Saxouy, extending from the
iieighuorhood oi tiotna to the Eihe, under
the command of Prince Frederic Charles, a
nephuew of the present King. A glance at
the map will show that the kiiiL'doii. of Sax
ony is a most troublesome barrier to a com
munication between the two armies. As
Saxony is the firmest ally of Austria, and
will undoubtedly at once join in the war,
the occupation of Saxony by the Austrian
troops will be a very dangerous flank move
ment against the Prussian army in Silesia.
Already the Southern corner of Silesia
(South of Oppein) has been left unprotect
ed against an invasion of the enemy. The
two armies in Silesia and Saxony together
are supposed to number about 3XUX0.
Against them Austria had concentrated,
upon an unbroken line, extending; from
Cracow to the western frontier of Saxony,
a force estimated at 330,000, which, by
communications with the center of the Em
pire, not easy to break, can more safely re
ly on necessary re-enforcements than the
Prussian army. This force is under the
command of Gen. Benedek. The Austrian
army in Italy, which is under the command
of Archduke Aibrecht, numbers more than
200,000 men, and can, within a short time,
if necessary, be largely re-enforced. Its
position is at present purely defensive, and
arranged with a view of meeting an Italian
inva.-ion cf Southern Tyrol, a march upon
Venice, or a landing in Dalmatia. It is
conlinned that the aggregate number of
.armed men in Austria does not fall short of
800,000 men.
The Italian force which has been collect
ed all along the southern and western fron
tier of Yenetia was at the date of our latest
advices, supposed nut to fall short of 40O.
000. The regular army is commanded bv
Cialdini, while the volunteers, whose num
ber is increasing with amazing rapidity, fol
low the leadership of Garibaldi. The plan
of attack, it is still believed, includes both
an invasion of Southern Tyrol and a land
ing on the eastern shore of the Adriatie,eaeh
movement having for its object to cut the
communication between Vienna and Venice,
and thus isolate the Quadrilateral and com
pel the garrisons to surrender.
The more importaut among the minor
German States, as Bavaria, VVurtemberg,
Saxony, and Hanover, have their full con
tingents of the Federal army, or even a lar
ger force, under arms. After the prepara
tions already made, it would not take long
to have the whole contingent of the minor
States, which amounts to about 300,000,
ready to march. Tho Austrian army on the
frontier of Saxony and Silesia could easily
receive from these contingents an addition
of more than 100,000 men, whose efficiency
will, however, be found to be vastly inferior
to tbe armies of either Austria or Prussia.
Altogether, it is probable that when the
impending war between Prussia, Austria,
Germany and Italy begins, more than 2,
000,000 well-drilled and disciplined troops
will be hurled upon each other. Nor is
this all. Russia seems to increase with
great rapidity her concentration of troops
in Polaud, and to prepare to throw her vast
power into the scale. The Danubian Prin
cipalities will have an army of 50.000 men
ready to dispute the invasion of the Turks.
The latter, in their turn, are concentrating
large forces to prepare not only for a war in
the Danubian Principalities, but for a gen
eral rising in the Christain provinces.
France is keeping her armaments and mili
tary movements more secret than any pow
er in Europe ; but it is known that all the
(reparations for concentrating a force of at
east lU0,U0o on the Rhine have been com-
Sleted, and the latest declaration of Louis
iapoleon again indicates that France will
not remain neutral if her interests demand
it. A1 Y. Tribune.
Pointed Advice. Gov. Morton, in his
Indianapolis gpcech, said :
"And here let me address a word to the
young men of Indiana. You are just start
ing in life, with the world all before you,
where and how to choose. Beware how you
connect your fortunes with a decayed and
dishonored party, indelibly stained with trea
son, and upon whose tombstone the histo
rian will write ; "False to liberty, false to its
country, and false to the age in which it
lived. ' ' The Democratic party has conimit
tsd (Mzrimc for which history has no pardon,
and theltfemtrrrts of men no for get fulness;
whose colors grow dirher front age to age,
and for which tlie ex&rntims humankind
lecome more bitter from generation to gen
eration." Evidence of a probable 'modern change of
level on the coast of Florida has been dis
covered at St. Augustine, in finding cedar

The llartyr of Port Monroe.
The strenuous effort of those who had no
Pt'r norror or tne torture and massacre
of Union soldiers at Anderson ville and Belle
Isle to represent Jefferson Davis as the vic
tim of cruelty at Fort Monroe have occasioA
ed the publication of his bill of fare fora week,
which has been widely published. There
are thousands of honest people all over the
land, who work hard for their living, who
would be very glad of half as good fare as
the Martyr of Kort Monroe daily enjoys.
For those of our readers who may not have
seen the list we quote a specimen :
"Wednesday. Breakfast Ham and
eggs, wheat and corn-bread, butter, sugar,
coffee, milk. Dinner Mutton-chops, stew
ed oysters, potatoes, onions, apples, bread,
butter, coffee.
"Thursday. Breakfast Beef-steak,
two boild eggs, wheat or corn-bread, butter,
sugar, milk, coffee. Dimier Veal-cutlets,
panned oysters, potatoes, onions, bread, cof
fee, butter.
"FiiiDAY, Breakfast Stewed oysters,
mackerel, or fresh fish, wheat and" corn
bread, coffee, sugar, milk, and butter, bin
ncr Pork-steak, poached eggs, potatoes,
onions, bread, butter, coffee.
"Saturday. i'i-c.y7,-Mutton-chops,
two boiled eggs, bread, butter, milk, sugar,
coffee. Dinner Stewed ov.-ters. notatoes.
onions, tread, butter, coffee."
This probably compares favorably with
the daily bill of fare at Andersonviiic ; but
since there will undoubtedly be a persistent
attempt to excite sympathy and even 'admi
ration for Jefferson Davis as a political pris
oner suffering for an honest difference of
opinion, it is as well to understand clearly
precisely what his position is.
The odium that hangs around his name,
and which will forever deepen, does not
arise from the tact that he held abstractly
the theory of State sovereignly and the con
stitutionally reserved right of secession ; but
that he and his fellow-conspirators chose to
assert that doctrine at the cost of countless
innocent lives and of the welfare of the
country, not to remedy injustice or oppres
sion for which there was no legal redress,
but to perpetuate the foulest system of ty
ranny under tbe-sun. Had Davis and his
confederates appealed to God and mankind
for the rectitude of their intention as re
vealed in the purpose of the war which they
invoked had they armed against the Na
tional Government in th o name of Tits!
State rights which that Government had
denied had they risen against an arbirary
power which, was grinding them m: 1 their
families, and trampling upvn sacred, natur
al, and constitutional rights r which it re
fused a remedy then, indeed, the last ter
rible appeal to blood, which only hopeb
oppression authorizes, would have been
justified, and their cause, however unfortu
nate, would have commanded the admira
tion and sympathy of the world
It is idle to say that, holding secession to
be a constitutional right, they might assert
it at auv time, and for any purpose which
pleased tliem. When war is the cost of t lie
practical assertion of any right it can be
justified only by the fact of vital grievance
for which there is no other redress, or by
the purpose for which it is intended to ex
ercise that right. That was the jurisdiction
of our great revolution of 1770. But what
is Jefferson Davis as the official representa
tive of the rebellion of 1 SCI ? He' is a man
who.deliberately plunged his country into
the most fearful war, and flooded it with
blood that he might whip women and sell
children at his pleasure. His pre tens was
State sovereignty, his purpose was human
slavery. That was the object for which hi
and the other leaders "fired the Southern
heart." For this they directed the war.
For thi they starved brave men at Ander
sonville and Belle-Isle, tortured them into
idiocy, and shot theni like dogs. For this
were Southern Union men seized at night,
and before the eyes of their despairing wives
and agonized children hung and shot and
drowned. For this they drove thousands
and thousands of conscripts to dia uj)on the
field of battle. For this Jefferson Da pis' s
garments reek with innocent blood, and his
name is a stench.
Here is a pretty martyr, with his ham
and eggs and panned oysters ! Here is a
Christain hero; and General Miles must be
removed if he does not bow low enough !
Here is a model American, who must be
magnified into a Spielberg victim aud suffer
er of the Bastile if his muffins are not toast
ed, and his beef-steak is overdone 1 Our
readers will bear us witness that we have
not advocated vengeance, that we think the
trial of Davis for treason a mistake, and
that we a.re ready to take, with fair precau
tions, all the necessary and inevitable risks
of the situation. But the maudlin senti
mentality that would drape with the dignity
of a martyr for a political opinion a man
who for such a purpose waged such a war
we believe will disastrously recoil upon those
who foster it. We have no wish to revive
dead feuds or to use harsh words, but we
can conceive no greater misfortune to the
manhood of American youth than that they,
should be taught to regard Benedict Aj-nold
as an honorable man or Jefferson Davis as a
guiltless and unfortunate patriot. Harper s

ception is rarely excelled. The facts, as re
lated by Mr. Butterfield, cashier of the
bank, are as-follows:
At about 2 o'clock in the morning Mr.
Butterfield says that he was aroused from
his slumber by receiving a blow upon the
head, which for a moment stunned him, and
upon awaking saw three men, their faces
disguised with masks, standing by his bed
side, armed with pistols and knives, who
immediately seized him and demanded the
keys of the bank.
To this Mr. Butterfield made no reply,
whereupon ho was tied with small cords,
being bound hand and foot, and a gag pla
ced in his mouth, made of a' pillow-case,
which one of the rnSans took from the bed.
Not complying with the demand which was
made, Mr. ButterSeld was thou violently
choked until he was forced to tell, which he
did by pointing where the k ays were con
cealed. In the same bed lay a little son of
Mr. Butterfield, about eight years of age,
who was seized at the same time and bound
in a similar manner as his father
The screams of the boy awoke his moth
er, who was asleep in an adjoining chamber
with a sick infant, who, on rising up in bed,
found that two of the ruffians, wh.i, as they
entered the room, had extinguished her
light, whom she beheld by the aid of a dark
lantern they had, were standing over her,
and who threatened, if f he made the least
disturbance, to take the life of her infant.
"We do not want your lives," they said ;
"we have been in this bloody war and it's
money we want." "We want the money
in the bank." Shi wa then left in the
care of one of the ecotmdrels, who acted as
a guard over hr, another performing the
same service in her husband's room, while
the third, who had possession of the keys,
descended the front staircase aud joining a
companion who was watehir.s outside, Tro-
ceeJo! to the bank, which was but a siort
(nuance from the house.
The building was entered al onceand the
door of the vault, which is located on the
ground floor, was opened, and the outer
door of the safe, which was inside the vault,
wr.s unlocked. But the inside door of the
safe, srhich was one of Hall's patent locks,
they could not unlock ; whereupon one of
the party returned to Mr. Butterfield' s res
idence, and, with the one who was watch
ing bin), uuplnioned his feet and took him
to the bank," where they forced him to epen
the door.
After this was aeomplished they then
rebound him and at once proceeded to clear
the safe of its entire contents, which they
placed in a bag.
Mr. Butterfield was then conveyed back
to his house and placed in his chamber.
Ilis wife was then bound and gagged, after
which procedure the robbers decamped with
the boot'.
During this time Mrs. B. was not con
scious that her huband had been taken
from the house. She was assured that he
was perfectly safe and uninjured. At her
request her little boy was brought into her
room, who was suffering very much by the
tightness of the cord around his ankles.
"At the request of his mother the cord
was loosened by one of the roofers, ty
which means the boy was subsequently en
abled to unloosen himself and alarm two
domestics in a rear chamber of the house,
who, after considerable delay, occasioned by
fright, came to the rescue, and all the par
ties were released.
Mr. Butterfield then at once proceeded to
the house of Mr. Carr, one of the directors
of the bank, and informed him of what had
taken place. The news of the robbery was
then at once made known, and sped like
wildfire throughout the village.
Pursuit was-made in different directions
by the citizens. It is supposed that the
robbers, after they had plundered the safe,
took their flight in a direction, according to
indications found in a piece cf woods near
the road, to Brunswick, where were also
found several pairs of stockings, pieces of
cord, and a Montreal newspaper, bearing
date of the 15th inst
The President ot the bank has offered a
reward of $5000, as follows -.$3000 will be
paid for the recovery of the bonds and mon
ey, or a proportionate sum for a less amount,
and 2000 will be paid for the apprehension
of the thieves.

"And you "would serve him right, replied

The speech of Mr. Harris of Maryland
in the House of Representatives, must have
sounded like old times. We take the fol
lowing extract from the condensed report
of it :
"He declared himself an Old Line Dem
ocrat, believing in the doctrine ot secession,
believing that the several States ot the U
nion have the right to separate from it.each
acting for itself. He declared his belief that
abuses and usurpations had teen practiced
and threatened to so great an extent by their
associates and partners in this governmen
tal compact that the Southern States were
justified in going out ; and his further be
lief that by their wrdinauces of secession
they did go out, and thereby became to this
Union foreign States. These convictions
he could not charge, and he did not expect
they would ever be removed. He would
most assuredly proclaim them and stand by
them as long as a single citizen of the Con
federate States was in chains or subject to
penalty for asserting them. There was no
political or personal consideration which
-could prompt him to such a desertion.
'What, sir,' said he, I, that believe them
right; I, I Lat would have joined them it
the sovereign State of Maryland had said
so, to desert tberu now,in their utmost need,
when I can legitimately give them such pro
tection as is in my power honestly to give ?
Never.' "

secession was a ruling principle of the Dem
ocratic party a statement which, somewhat
nettled his friends in the House.
