European News?A General "War Ap- '
prehended?Effect on Ootton, etc. '
Suddenly taut week the world was agitated j
hy the ncwi that Russia had proclaimed the ,
intention of disregarding, in pnrt, the treaty ot
1.866, made with England and Franao after I
Mia Crimean war, giving notice of her design I
So oseupy die Black Set with lomo ships of
war, whish is contrary to the treaty. The
English at one* fancied they saw danger to ,
their Eastern possessions in Asia, and the
devouring of the entire turkey hy the Russian
bear, which would make the animal so overstrong
as to enJangcr the existence of the old
lion, and all other national animals and birds
pf Europe. Austria and Italy shared in the
*oo#n?rnption, and the French likewise, for it
was suggested that Rus?;* Prussia were
about to form an alliance, so that there would
be do gepurHjr to any of the other existing
U<>Ycrnwcnt.?. The newspapers of England,
and on the continent, wore tilled with alarm"
Ing speculations. The London journals announced
that, in the best informed circles of
England, a general European war w?f regarded
inevitable, and some of thetn urged w?r as
the duty of England. I
The effect of all this news, was to depress (
the fff ice of cotton in Liverpool about i of a ?
penny, and about i of a cent in New York, <
UZid 3ii.U gaining as it went, the price was '
reduced ?1>oyl one cent in the interior markets, f

sortie, whilst the outer armies of the French
will attack the Prussians in the rear. The
French people hare lost immensely in every
way by the war, and bare nothing to gain by
eontinuing it, but that the politicians and mll->
tnry officers may keep up their positions.?
Now, as heretofore in history, the masses o'
the people are made fools and toots by the ery
of glory I the flag! and hurrah for oarsida!
without considering that "big wars" (which
do not mnko ambition virtue) are only in the
interest of the governing official classes. The
pejple have the lighting to do and the debts to
pay, and make themselves, practically, slaves
to bond-holders, and salaried officers, end
speculators, and jobbers in Government affairs.
This is the resalt of ainety-nine out of a hun-?
dred of all tba wars of the world; onr own
United Statea late war being no exception.?
Defensive wars, however, cannot be avoided.
When robbers attack* house, the inmates will
defend if they can.

and sbo baa tBe rigflfto disable bar enemy, if
she can, from ever making wontoir attacks on

her black eagles now surronnd Paris.

who resided, at the time of lite

for it is'to be regreteil that kn art, so

been, so much neglected?few, Indeed, of our
natives, aver giving it a serious thought; and
yet, nny one who ean learn to writa, can learn
to draw. It is acquired by personal effort
mors than by much instruction. In such a
plaee as Greenville, when almost anything
| educational is attainatfle from ti?
population and school*, there is no r?oso? for
neglecting many important sources of improvement,
except the want of entrytf, and a
commendable confidence in ourselves that,
" what others do and have done, we can do
and will do.'* We should be progressive, and
: not servile copyists, but originators. Honor
to theso two ladies who have done the work
and gained the prixes.

Co., of New .York, in their circular of the 1st

thus speaks of our prospects on this side the
water:
" Though, therefore, the future may be
cloudy, it is not without snbstantial assurances
of safety. Fortunately, the country is in a
strong condition to withstand the shock or
any temporary derangement in our foreign
exchanges. Our crops are abundant. Our
grain and pork crops will enable us to export
a large quantity of food products to meet the
wants of devastated France ; and the Booth
has a cotton crop from which it could ship
nearly 2,600,000 bales to Europe. We leave
it to be inferred what bearing thia prospect
has upon the future of the gold premium;

k disturbance to o?ap, and violently assault- i
ii| t fellow cadet, inflicting considerable Injury.
The oftOM ? fully proven, and the i
Bonrt sentenced Smith to walk poet, under
sbarge af a eadet eentiael, from 3 o'clock P.
U. until retreat, for tlx coneecutive Satur- i
lays. The Judge advocate, In hie record of i
the caee, expressed the opinion that It would
be better if thie eentenoe were dleapproved,
Iban that the function of the government
bould be given to a puaiahmont eo utterly
insuBcicat ae that propoeed to be inflicted.
In thie opinion the President concurred, and
the sentenced Was dleapproved. Smith is accordingly
ordered to be released from arrast,
and gets off unpunished because of the ridiculous
ten tenee of the court. * ,
A letter to the New York Times from West
P^lnt, dated the Ifltb instant, eaya t
The greatest excitement that has relieved
the usual routine of military monotony at this
post, since the battle with dipper weapons between
Cadet J. W. WUson and (oolored) Cadet
J. W. Smith, occurred to-day when the
news was received of the War Department's
action on the verdict ol the reocntly-convcned
general court-martial. Had the accused been
sentenced to he led out and shot, public astonishment
could sesreoly hava been greater.
The general expectation waa that if Smith escaped
dismissal ho ho aeverely reprimanded,
and no one was prepared to hear such a decision
as has bean made. The oadets are almost
all Indignant and disappointed. It does
not seem tnat they desire to injnro the aeons d
nor fflorv in hil nunUhmtni Kn? fhaw ma
?crt that ba baa been guilty of prevarication
and inconsistency ; tbat bia cadet honor ia sullied,
and .(bat, black or white, as be may ba?
while in a cadet uniform ha ia identifiod witb
the corps and inetitution. And that now tl^at
ba ia roleasod from all pocalty and rosponsU
bility for the past, and in a dogreo promoted
to the rark of a martyr to color and rare, before
bia sympathisers in the nation at large,
tbey are mortified beyond measure. Every
ooe in tbo vicinity of tho Court-martial was
onvioeW that, witb tho aiogle exception of
General Howard, the euurt Intended t<> place a
penally equal to the garviiy of tho offence
sgninst Suiitli's uamo. The cadeta feel tbat
Bmitb baa not been justified, and they, aa a
body, bavo boon wronged. The sentiment
against Smith is more unanimously bitter and
intense than over. The previously adopted
resolution to taboo any in the corps who aflil
iated with Smith will be more rigidly observed.
Sbould another collision occur, it is
plain tbat the result would be more serious
(ban before. Had he l?ecn reprimanded, and
bia action declared guilty, the feolicg of
predjudiee would be greately mollified. Witb
one or two exceptions, the officers, although
they dare not say so. ahare tho ammo feeling

The War Strnngth of JBhgiand.
For months past the English press have
been hammering away upon tlie enljeet
of Army Reform, and the MudsU-rs were
told, in p'aln words, that il war rami*, and
the country w?*re unprepared, they would
b?* held strictly responsible. The Secretary
of War every now and then assured the
puhlio tliat recruiting went on satiafalorily,
nod Hint the-e were enorgli breocli loaders
in atore to arm all the ro'dier* who could
he brought toyeth-r in ease of emergency.
But the leaJing journal*, e-pecially the
Saturday Review, puncture 1 the inflated
blad cr of official statement, and showed
conclusively that the atipply of arm*, n<til
cry nod munitions was miserably insuffl
ei nt, and ihnt the c >untry had nothing to
depend upon, in ihe immediate present, beyond
t!ic mall regular army.
Iyird Elrlio Is one of the most pmmment
of the Army Kvform-r*, and, in view ol the
complications willi Russia, liia s'ntemenis
are highly interesting, in a letter written
about two war ks ago, he starts out with the
remark that an army reserve i? an admitted
need. lie endeavors to show how costly
and inefficient has b-en the ays'em of re>
eruil'.ng. 11a remarka that in the Prmnatilar
War the greatest number ol British sol
diers ever placed in line was 46 (XX) at Vitjorin;
that, at Waterloo, they only mustered
37 000 men, aud that tlie foree they sent to
the Crimen did not exceed 20,000 mm. lie
alleges that the recruiting system," wlren
strained, breaks down, and fails to m<et the
emergencies or casualties of war. The lieserve
Force Act of 1869 has, in his opinion,
ailed signally As to the At my Reserve
Force Act of 1867, he aaya it only produced
2000 men available for foreign service. As ?
to Mr. Cardwrll'a experiment of short enhutment,
Lord Eleho denies that Mr. Cardwell
has shown a full appreciation of their
wants In the matter of army reserve*. " We
find ourselves," Lord Eleho add*, " With a
reduced army and skeleton battalions.
wiinoui a reserve or Any means of sddde-dy
filling them with trained men."
There are strong words, hut it may have |
cheered the British heart to know that an
extensive scheme i f army organization is
under the consideration of the government,
and that the special direction in which the
proposed scheme will tend la towards the
militia, aod " that we (England) shall have
a fully organized and irally efficient militia
hirer." This is very comforting, now that
England is on the brink of war. Just as
the soldier* who starved in the trenches be
fore Sebatopol, must have beamed with delight
at the knowledge that huge heaps of
stores of all kinds lay rotting at Balaklava.
