The sudden announceme;

from Europe of a probs'A E , bloody strife
between France and T :rtissiti. Each nation
is arming,h •
and t -P .r is a general expeets
tion .
throughr -
ut the old continent that
tear e t% ll:l°* . be avoided. The causes which
- have ' to the present threatening state
of '..fairs may be briefly recited as : Ist,
'The growing importance of Prussia, which
has excited the ,jealousy of the entire
French people; 2d, The interference, of
the former with France's plans to extend
-her boundaries furthei." west; and, 3d and
most immediate, The occupation by Pmts•
sian troops of the Duchy of Luxemburg,
. which France was endeavoring to par
chase from the King of Holland, and an
nex as a portion oilier territory. A:con
flict between these to riiiMotts will un
doubtedly lead to a general continental
war, in which Prussia will be sustained by
all the smaller German States, and France
by Italy and Austria.
- The Radicals everywhere are casting
about for excuses for their defeat in Con
necticut. Horace Greeley says it was
canned by the threat,. of fluntner
and Rt;t
. son to farce negro suffrage on 'the North
era States. Bingham deflates that it is a
warning to the party to let the impeach
ment soheme alone hereafter, while the
"conservative" Radicals insist that Grant
must be nominated in '6l' or else they
will fail to carry more than one or two
Northern States. The fact of it is, the par.
ty is,fearfully demoralized, their confident
-boasting and explanations of defeat to the
contrary notwithstanding. The Republi
can party, whether for good or for evil,
has accomplished its mission. It must
die with the issues that gave it birth and
have kept it in power. ' The nineteen
months which intervene between now and
the 'Presidential election will witness the
' decline and fall of a party which has done
'more mischief, Shed more blood, squan
dered more treasure, kindled More diabol
ical passions, and inflicted deeper wounds
on constitutional government, than 'any
• other political party that ever existed in
the world. -
~.ReNZGADES AT A DISCOVNT.—The Radicals
of Whig and Know Nothing proclivities,
are getting tired of the system which has
grown into vogue in their ranks, of taking
up every prominent Democrat who kicks
our party traces, and running him far of
fice. In an editorial upon the Connecticut
election, the Dispatch thus ventilates it
self on. this portion of the party custom :
"And just as long . as it tries to steal
Democratic thunder by
,nominating Im
proper men, (that's cool, isn't it Y) or picks
up every stray Democrat and tries Us-send
him to Congress, so long they, ought to
lose by it. When they learn to do right
in these matters they may possibly win
snore victories. They, like fools, picked
up the Democrat Johnson in 1864, and are
reaping the bitter reward of •their folly.
The Whigs picked up the Democrat Tyler
in 1840, and he floored them. A few more
lessons may teach ail parties not to touch
political renegades."
We sympathize sincerely with our co
temporary in its affliction upon this sub
ject, znougn now is is u./ remeuir /tie mat
ter we cannot comprehend. The Radical
party is to-day completely under the con
trol of 'these renegades. Their recreancy
has been profitable, for they hold all the
beat offices and direct the policy of the
party. When they find they can nolongqr
manage it to suit their personal purposes,
they will speedily desert it, and "then fare
well to. all the dreams of Radical per:t
imes I
Now, that the- Radicals of Connecticut
have-been acriiagloriously beaten, the pa.
perrof that faction.have nearly all com
menced abusing them. The Dispatch, as
an example, says they "were of too poor
a quality to pass_with the rest of the coun
try." Seeing -that the Radicals of Con
necticut had the courage to do last year,
what those of Pennsylvania have never
yet dered, to attempt—sought to impose
negro suffrage upon the people of their,
Commonwealth,—it certainly looks rather
awkward — tb — see a paper in this locality
lecturing them for want of-fidelity to the
-party tenets. The Dispatch is none the
lees right, however, in pronouncing their
politics
. of a "poor quality." Radical pol
itics is always of a very "poor quality," no
matter what the shade. -
TIIE extravagant appropriations of the
present Legislature bring the following
sarcastic remarks from "Horace," of the
Chambersburg Repository :
"It is understood that on the 10th of
April the Legislature will appoint a spe-
cial committee of experienced roosters to
call on the Treasurer and inquire whether
there' is any .money left, and if the fund
is entirely exhausted, the adjournment
will take.place on the 11th. If, by any
means, a few hundred thousand should be
overlooked in any of the, stray corners of
the treasury, the resolution of adjourn
ment will probably be rescinded, and the
job finished up,"
Turn appears to belittle probability
that a quorum of Congress will meet in
July. Very few, members sre- left in
Washington, even those who,,dwell on the
thither aide of the Rocky mountains hav
ing departed to the bosom of their fami
lies, A general stampede of Senators is
expected efter,the close of the present ex
tra session, without regard to the July
session. There are some, of course, who
are hot for as speedy a meeting as possi
ble, especially the impeachment p'rty,
bat the general sentiment is said to over
rule them.
Tar. States of Mississippi and Georgia,
through their respective counsel, have

Radicals last fall by a majority of 130. On

held in Hartford, Conn. The Democrats

the fireman and engineer minus their heads.
This. detaioed•us, and we were compelled, to

40 degrees, to a depth of 200 to 400 feat, the
veins being from flee to twenty feet in vise.

kagyral 'even-that "relic of
barbarisni" is somewhere found in these
mountains. in passing throurh this State I
find the people seem to know their mineral
wealth, yet they seldom can tell you anything
about it, not even its locality. One feature is
worthy of notice _whenever I accosted a citi
zen for any information, whether upon the
cars, upon the streets, orat his place of busi
nest, I was never. insulted, but always it
seemed a pleasure for them to give all 'infer
motion possible. and almost universally they
arepleased tnbave Northerners come amongst
theta. A very Intelligent gentleman remarked
a-few days since on the cars that he wished
the State of Virginia would give to- some
Northern =Breed men its stook in the differ ,
ent roads, and let them take the roads and
run them, for the Railroad men of Virginia
didn't know how to railroad. Good wheat,
corn and tobacco lands three to five milea off
the railroad (which is better than that upon
the Him) can be purchased at $5 to $lO per
acre, such as sold
,before the war at $2O to ,
$4O per acre. The people have - the soil but
no money. This city before the war was
remarkable for -its wealth. Money stow is
worth two to three cents per month. Before
I left home I frequently read of the hostility
of these people towards Northerners, and their
guerrilla warfare upon negroea 'and Union
men. What little I have seen, and through
my conversations with them, I fail to per;
beive any hostility either towards Republi-
Cans, DeMocrats, negroes, Union men, Gov
ernment men, or anything, or any party.. ex
cept the cursed Radicals, and they are going
to work in earnest to reconstruct and assist
Conservative Republicans and Democrats in
saving this Republic. The talk about these
people repudiating the National debt is pll
bosh. Whe n you see a people in as straight-
cued ataairaistoeeee as they are in - Virginia, I
throne' their Legislature agreeing to be taxed
to pay two per cent.
,annually cf the heavy;
State debt, with one-third of their State stoletti
from them, it is anything else than an indica
tion
f repudiation. There is a time coming)
when circumstances beyond human control,
will require, and by common consent tho pooj,
pie, North and South, will be forced , to allow,)
she Nationaldebt to assume a changed aspect)
These people, with few exceptions, will send
representatives to Congress, unexceptionable
as to the oath. They yid elect many North
ern men, whom they much prefer to their
original Secessionists who are now exceasive
"Loyalists " These-representatives will from
interest vote to repeal the unrighteous tax on
cotton and tobsooo.buttbe tax trams recuper

to call the exhibition "splendid," when they
don't revile uoderstand a word that is said,

She mates It vulgar to waft upon one's self,
and genteel to live idle and useless. •
She requires people to visit ,when they

She invades our pleasure and interrupts our

She compels People to dress gaily, whether
upon their own, property or that of another,
whether agreeable to the word of God or the

She mine health, and produces sickness :
destroys life, and ocoastetis premature death.
She makes tools of parents, invalids of
