When the Kiug OdieiW $63, how eOer, it was found that the popular Partyin Gormany ere ;.y no .eans, disposed to acquiesoe- in the arrange. nents of the diplomatists.

This was however, eln ply;a provisional arrangpiment ;, p%oth? -ins was determined as to the ultimaito disposition of the conquered territory. In February of this y.ear, Bismuark whU Akes no-secret-of. his bolief that Audh fis Uoduitiess hi Geriany, that Us'tiot a PQrma'i power, that her popr'eapld is'" Pcsth, and her proper mission the ci.lization of the barbro!us countries of eastern Eu. rope--;impudently and brusquely gave her notipe that he wished her to evac. uato 1olptcin., She was naturally some,wa0 taken aback by thi.s arro. gant demand, and declined conipli.. ance. About this time some disturb nces broke out anong the Jew.s in 'ohinia'. Austrta mo ved troops up to restore order,.and Bismark at once cried out that-she was arming. She denied it : he insioted that she wa., and hd at once began to put the Prus gialn amipy on a 'War footing, and sent agqnte-into Italy.to stir up the Ital iansa7nd, it is strbngly suspected, on tered Into a secret Convention with Victor Xmnanudl. On perceiving the movement in Ita ly,Austria began to. strengthen her forces in Venotin. Bismark affected to regard this ns another threat and pushed on his preparations with great or vigor than' over, but offered tq let the Austrian corps in Holstein retire unmiolested. The f'notes' which have been 'sncelInterchanged are mere for uttie. '"PruSSia is clearly deter mnin'neon'iryinig conclusions with Au8 tria, and the manner in which the quarrel has begun and carried on leaves no room for an honor#bte exit to either party, Aor does it seen that anything except Bismark's or the King's death could now avert an ap peal to arms. The confident manner in which the Italians aremovin'g to the attack leaves very little doubt that the whole programme is already made out. It iP; of course, impossible to pre diet with 'confidence the course i All iake. But it' is ieasona ble to c;pect. that Austria will be driven frot Venice and out of the duehiez;-that'at,a later stage of the conflf6t, Fritylee will intervene and claim the left bapk of the Rhine, per. mitting Prussia to compensate herself by the absoiption of the smaller Ger man States, and offering Aus,tria the Danubi'an Pr-inCpalities to make up for her losses in Western and Southeri Mnrope.

But see the announcement of the Charleston News. In Saturday's paper we published i call for a convention of the comservative men of the country, to be held in Phila. delphia an the fourteenth of, August.

Hc says further,that this statement is no doubt by%, itithoriiy. We regret to be compplied to believe that snch should be the fact. And we hope that the friends of the Union, both North and Smich. should still elect delegtes to the Piladeiphia Conven tion, as they are ceriairny entitled to do under tle call, unless it is further ex. pliiteil.

The War in Europe The great contest bet ween Priissis and Austria opened on tie 15th of June by a movement en the part of Prussia. This movement was throwing troops into Saxony,.which lies between Prussia and Austria. Saxony is one of tile German States, and it sides with Aus. tria. Dresderi is the capital, and lies about midway between the southern boundary of Prussia 'and the northern boundary of Austria, about twenty miles from each. On tire 19th lilt. tile Prus. sians occupied Dresden, tire King of Saxony withdrawing to Bohemia, the most northern province of Austria. His army effected a junction with the Aus trians. On the same day, the 19th, Prussia and Italy declared war against Austria. On the 23di tihe Italian Army crossod the Mincio, the.river separating'Venetia from the Kingdom of Italy. The Austrians began to move on the 18th, on which day they crossed into Silesia the most eastern part of southern Prussia, which forms tie northern bonn. dary of Austria for about two hundred miles. The Prutssians have occupied Moch ernr also, with ablout thirty thlousand troops. Mochern is but two miles from Leipsi, a large city in northwesit, Saxo, ny and tire scene of one of Napoleon's great battles ian 181-3. Austria has 350,000 men to oppose the Prussiansa on thetnorthr, anid 250,000 to contend wvith the ttalians on the south. 'But threrm are about 50,000 Federal troop,4te4e Frankfurt, a Free City in the~ westerf part of t,be G"rmnau States, and the seat of tihe Federal Diet. These.are acting against Prussia also One fight has , OCedred bet,ween the Prussians 'and tire flesslans, the latter a part of the Federpl narmy. The Hessians were def,-ated.
