Europe alter tl?? W"nr.
The treaty of peace between the Powers
involved in the recent European war
has been definitely concluded, and we
Are thus euabltd to review the important
cfiftngea which it bus produced iu tlie
map of Europe. Brief as the lute war
bus been, iu it* influence upon th > destinies
of Europe it by lar exceeds uuy
occurrence since the Congress of Vienna
in 1815.
The countries engaged in the war were
Prussia, Austria, Italy, und the Germanic
Confederation, numbering together about
95,000,000 of people. The last named 01
these Powers, exclusive of the provinces
of Aust ia and Prussia, numbered about.
18 500,0(10 inhabitants, has been totally
destroyed. Nominally, a South German
Confederation has been left, to be composed
of Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Baden,
3
and part ot Hesse-11 irmstaut, auu numbering
at present about 8,o00,U00 inhabitants.
but popular dissatisloctiou with
this arrungemeut is already spreading
with greut rapidity in the very States
which are to constitute the Confederation,
and nothing but a ton i,jn a ar wi . be
able to repress the teudency toward
union with the North German States,
Under the leadership of Prussia. It may
be said therefore that of the four political
bodies above-named, two?Prussia and
the miuor German States?have been
unit&l, aud Prussia, or Germauy (or by
whatever other Dame the new Empire
may be knowu), Will henceforth represent
iu European politics the combined
strength of both. The aggregate population
ot Prussia and the minor German
States exceeds it8,000,000 uud united
they will t?e equal lu pupuiuuuu ^
France.
If Prussia carries out her intention to
annex Hanover, Nassau, Hease-Cassei
and Frankfort, her immediate dominions
Mjpuld contain a population of over 23,
000,000, against less than 5,500,(100 of
her aities: a proportion which at onee
shows how fully the latter will become
subjects of Fru.vila in every-thing except
the name. In llie largest ot the above
btites?Saxony?a convention of the
Liberal party has declared in favor of
immediate annexation -to Prussia, and

It H III CHVU 111 iuc wuvk
tLereSoie, has already become a Jfower
of nearly 29,0-10, 000 of inhabitants, with
tin aiuuost certain prospect of soon increasing
this number to 38.000,009. Thi
pojiuliiiuu is fully up otogenous, an*
pervaded by as strong a feeling of nation-1
?tlity as any State in Enrope. All tbe j
excellent features of PrtJRsian admiuistra-1
tion, which dnring the receut war challenged
the admiration of the world, will at
once be shared by the minor States wh.ch
coalesce with Prussia; and no doubt can
therefore be felt as to the great strength
which the Prussian Government can
henceforth display in Enrof>can politics.
Italy was before the war a State of
nbGat 22.000.0d0 people. By the treaty
of pence, it receives Venetia, which according
to the latest census, had a population
of 2 446,058. The withdrawal of

moreover, highly probable that the
Roman question will soon be solved by
the annexntipn of the remainder of the
Papal States, with a population of about
700,000, to the Kingdom of Italy. The
Italian Kingdom will then liecomc a
power of over 25,000,000 inhabitants.
Thus the national unity of Italy is nearly
complete. Austria has still about'
500.000( subjects who speak the Italian
language, and are Indians in sentiment
Switzeiland has an Italiau canton
(Tessin) with a population of 116.000.
France still owns the Island of Corsica,
which in predominantly Italian; bnt Altogether,
these districts connt less than
1,000,000 inhabitants. The National j
party of Italy will not abandon the wish
to regain all these districts for the Italian
nationality; bnt it can hardly be exPected
tha* an agitation like that for the
annexation of Venice and Rome can

can henceforth devote their whole energy
to the consolidation ol tbe Kingdom, me i
improvement of its wretched" iinaneiftl!
condition, and the development of all its
resources.

become more embarrassing to the Austrian
Government than the Venetian
question has ever been. The reluctant
concessions of Liberal reforms to the
Hungarians can but add new fuel to the
internal conflict The peace of Prague
can. therefore, not be expected to be of
long duration. Austria, at any ui? ment
ripe for insurrection and revolution;
Prussia and Italy, deeply interested in
another partition of Anstria; France,
determined to risk a desperate war to <
prevent the consummation of the political I

of Prussia: Russia, mofethan ever aware!

and Western Europe?snch is the present I

?The 0tta?a3, a t:ibe of partially civilized

-?By the subjoined paragraph, which
we find iu a London paper, it will be seen
that the American eagle has flapped his j
wings at least once daring tne war in
Europe: "A letter froni Frankfort to the
Presse of Vienna tails the fellowiog story
of the Prussian occupation of Frankfort.
Mr. Murphy, the American Minister to
the Diet, was informed by Gen. de Manteuffel
that he and his countrymen could I
not be relieved from the charge of billet-1
ing soldiers on their houses. Mr. Mur-j

"General, pray observe that our fleet is!
ir> the Baltic," took his leave. The Ame-!
;
riean residents have had no soldiers billetted
on them."
The Mobile Advertiser says that the
body of a Federal soldier has been dug ,
up near there compietely petrified. There

The Army Worm.?The appearance of
this terrible scourge is reported iu oeveral
localities. The Colombo* riunsav*;
the only way to stop their depredation* ,
is to catch each individual of tb? army, i
and crush it between the lingers. Tne j
Sun says the army worms will not attack
the cotton crop very vigorously during j
July Or August, the weather being too
hot tor them, but duriug September they
make their greatest ravages, destroying j
the cotton plants both night and day j
A writer in that paper mentions bin experience
with the army worm during
Sapteinber, in 1860, in u held of corn
measuring about ten acres. Tbe "aruiy"j
extended across the field from West to j
East, over three buudred yards, and ap- j
pareutly contained countless millions ot
worms. Tbe writer of tbe article, bowever,
determined to try the plan of mashing
the worms between the lingers, a,id I
succeeded so well that in halfi.n hour he
placed six Degrees at the work, and before
sun-down had subdued the entiie j
