The JCuropeasi Revolution.
The hour destined to bring repose to Eutope
has not yet arrived. Her plains and valleys are
still 'covered with camps and battle-fields, and
from East to West echo the notes of preparation ;
while the combat, suspended at one point, breaks
out with fresh fury at another The Revolution
no longer works with barricades, manned by the
workmen of Paris or Vienna, but enlists nations,
ami lights for the possession of half the continent.
Defeated to-day, its armies resume the work at
some distant point to-morrow. One hope is de
stroyed, but some oilier comes as if by inspiration,
to reanimate its children. Their leaders are im
prisoned, shot, banished, sometimes fall of their
bers may appear. -We may remember how the ' serving great credit for the skill and ability they

The effect of a Hungarian victory would also
be felt in Germany. The great obstacle to the
formation of the German Confederacy, on which
the Parliament at Frankfort have so long been la
boring, is the influence of the Austrian Court.
Without that support, the smaller States would
not think of holding out against the force of pub
lic opinion, and the German Emperor might be
crowned in a month. This may be a small con
clusion to the hopes with which the work at

in their places. Their opponents, trained in all
the tricks of policy, cunning, siallovr men like
Guizot, profaning the name of Order by applying
it to the pitiful, selfish interests of dynasties and
classes, live in disappointment and terror. Where
they thought their enemy buried, a host rises to
the assault. For they contend not against merely
mortal antagonists, but against ideas which ever
raise up defenders to themselves against neces
sities which are implacable against impulses
which are nothing less than the life of humanity.
It is now but a few months since the Austrian
armies led by one of the oldest and most skillful
generals of the Empire marched against Hungary.
Well appointed and officered, carrying a large train
of artillery, there was nothing but confidence
among those veteran troops as they turned their
backs upon Vienna, the scene ol their last triumph.
The Magyars had little except an indomitable res

haps, in the world, but totally destitute of all mil

The organization of a real Federal Government,
with a liberal constitution regulating the internal,
relations of the several States, and providing for
a united army, navy, a perfect customs union,
common weights, measures, money, &c. is a fact
which can, perhaps afford to have a so-called Em
peror for its representative. In truth, it is not
easy to affirm that the imperial dignity is not the
most practicable road to a great end; nor is it rash
to say that the coronation of the Emperor is the
virtual mediatisation of the whole troop of inferior
princely dignitaries. The main point is to organ
ize the conlederation ; the rest will take care of
itself; and this point would surely be gained by
the defeat of Austria, if indeed a great deal more
would not be gained by it for Germany.
But whatever be the resuit of the battle,
fought, no doubt, ere this under the walls of Vien
na, those who fancy the Revolution to be concluded
will find that they are mistaken. Some may de
lude themselves with the notion that Order is
firmly established whenever a despotic Govern
ment is "once more fastened upon a rebellious and
aspiring people. There are even Americans who
dwell with the warmth of partisans on the errors
and imperfections of those desiring to be free with
out knowing or practicing exactly the American
method, and who rejoice when some Radetsky or
VVrangel suppresses their efforts with violence
ten-fold more brutal and barbarous than the ex
cesses which fill our orthodox Republicans with
indignation. We are happy not to share their
opinions. We, too, believe in Order, but it must
be based on mutual social benefits, on honorable
industry enjoying its own product, on equal oppor
tunities of education, and equal chances for the
honors and comforts of life : and until such an or
der is established there can be no tranquility in
Europe, though three-quarters of the whole popu
lation should be made soldiers to put down the
rest. N. Y. Tribune.
Counterfeiters broken up.
An extensive counterfeiting concein has recently
been discovered in New Jerseyand broken up.
The New York Courier has the following partic-
fling ened lhe ipw-rope was capijurcd and
re-captured, blows were struck, ihe Sheriff wa
knocked down in the melee, and fired upon one
of ihe rioters. Several prisoners were captu
red, some of whom were rescued. Siono
were thrown by ihe boatmen, and some per
sons injured. The boat howeverywas not cap
tured, and still remains in ihn canal. Mr. Pen
nypacker made for ihe Collecior's office at full
-peed, where he remained shut up for some
hours. The Sheriff, deeming Mr. Penuypack
er's life in danger, assembled an armed po.sxo
to rescue him, and goi out a six pounder. One
of our ciuzeus, A H. Reedor, Eq., anxious to
prevent bloodshed, offered if ihe Sheriff' would
wan, he would jo alone 'and briii" Mr. Pennv
packer home unharmed. This was accceded
to, and by means of a little remonstrance, eflec-
lually accomplished ihe boatmen escorting
them to thw bridge. The Sheriff has sum
moned an armed posse for to-morrow morning,
to capture the boat, and our town is much ex-cned.
The boaimen have behaved badly lo-day.
What will r:e the end, God only knows.
The reader will' perhaps wonder thai A. H.

over the rioters. It seems a little remon
strance " from him stilled their angry and ex
cited passions, and changed ihern from their
purpose of" bloodshed " to an "escort" of safe

for manufacturing spurious coin that has ever been that the price of provisions is lower, and the money
discovered in this country. The place was oc- they receive better, than formerly, so that their
cupied formerly by a man named Sweet, who was pay is much the same as formerly. Still, we
long suspected by the. police, but for several doubt not, it is too little. It appears to us that
months past they lost all track of him, and it ap
pears that he has been living in that secluded place
during this time, carrying on his nefarious busi
ness. Some months since he sent off a number
of kegs and boxes to California, and on the 2d of
April he started in person for that place, and there
can be but little doubt that before information can
be sent there the whole of that country will be
flooded with base coin. The officers found at the
establishment he had vacated in New Jersey a
large quantity of unfinished coins, some of which
had been plated with silver and were milled and
ready for receiving the stamp from the dies, and
they are so well executed that they will stand the
best chemical tests. They also found a number
of large and small boxes filled with rare and valu
able machinery used in manufacturing the coin.
The coins seem to have gone through three .sev
eral processes previous to being milled. In the
their error was in entering into contracts at so
low a price ; but we understand that many of
them, being under obligations to the coal company
for their boats are obliged to continue in their ser
vice at the price that may be fixed upon until their
boats are paid for. The case seems hard for the
boatmen ; and it is to be regretted that they have
been induced to violate the rights of private in
dividuals, in their efforts to bring the company
to what they deem a sense ofjustice.
The price of coal has not been raised by the com
pany 25 cents per ton, as stated last week but
remains the same as last year And it is said the
company are quite as determined to to hold out as
the boatmen. The probability is that but little coal
will be brought from the Mauch Chunk Mines this
season. We understand the- Company have ta
