Mont Ceuls is one of thc highest peaks of the Alps, and iles between Savoy, France, and Piedmont, Italy. Th3 tunnel was commenc? ed, by the late Emperor, when he was at the height or his power and popularity, and now the Immense work ts ucarty compete The Alps win soon be pierced by a railroad thrungli the tunnel, to the great ben.ut of tr ivel and commerce -Though the fact that arms hive been sent from this country to Fiance has been perfectly well known, n ?body liavlmr been ac any pains ta conceal it. and each shipmeut chronicled as it occurred, mont persons .viii be surpri.-c! ac the aggregate amount of these shipmi nts.

But must of the arras were exported upon speculation, and ap? pear to have found a read,, marset. -The Pall Malt Gazetie complains (bat British breakfast tables are t Urea toned with a serious dis? aster, since thc French Goveruiuer,: had prohibi? ted the exportation of salt, butler and eggs from France. Thc Gazette says that wittie the adrien I taral population ls diminishing the manufactur? ing and commerc'a! districts arc increasing in numbers, so that the English people will, year by jr ear, have to "rely more and. more ..pon foreign producers to supplement the iusuillclent home? grown stores. In ISC9, England imported $35. .000,000 worth or butter, of which one-third came from France. Durlug the Are years ending De? cember 31st, 1'69, there were imported Into Eng? land, from France, 230,."S6.000 pounds ol butler, and 1,830,600,000 eggs, giving a yearly average ol 45,977,200 pounds of butter, and C6S, 120,000 eggs. From these figures it may be seen that thc En glisb. people -will be seriously inconvenienced from thia embargo. -The recent experiments in England in the construction of railroads with very narrow gauges, and carrying much smaller cars, have created almos-, a revolution in thc accepted ideas on this subj-ct. These roads can be run over grades too difficult f?.r the ordinary gang-1, aud at an expense which is trifling in comparison, both as respects the orignal construction and the cost or mali.tenancc. Tlieetrect or this new system will bc to opeu np railway communication to many districts not now accessible to the ordinary road-, and greatly to augment the present facill Me8of travel aud transportation. It may be doubted whether any county or neighborhood possessing au average degree nf wealth and pop? ulation ls too poor to avail itself of the new moana or communication. According u> u recent, letter to thc Railroad and Sibling Register, wr.tten by Mr. d'Alijuy, a Kew York en? gineer, a company is now organizing for thc express purpose of building on con? tract, on this principle, roads and branch roads especially to connect mining or manufacturing districts with main-truuk roads. The report for IS09 of the Festlnlug road, built on this plan, slates that the net revenue for last year was ?10, 522, and thc capital of the company only ?33,185. Mr. d'Allgny says: "The economy of the con? struction and equipment of a narrow-gauge road, two rcet and six inches, ls Immense, when com? pared with the cost of a road four feet eight and a half inches. For a single track it is 50 per cent, over an ordinary flat country, but in the moun? tainous or mining districts the proportion In? crease; to 75 per cent, and more. In fact, a nar? row-gauge road can be established, and wiU prove a paying concern, in countries so rough that no attempt voull ever bo made lo construct a road of the usual gauge. Xarrow-gauge roads wbl ac? complish a revolution In the railroad system of the United States." The Judicial Decisions of War. A Radical contemporary, between which and this paper there is usually a healthy difforeuco of opinion, declares thal it is far? cical to assume that war gives, as a rule, "anything like an approach to a judicial de? cision," and announces that the history of the whole world shows that wars, too often, result in a declaration of the right of might. Taking the war between the United States and the Southern Confederacy, rather than the partition of Poland, as a forcible example, it is not hard to understand that might does overcome right, and that per? sonal demotion and individual gallantry are, too often, borne down by the brute weight ol heavier gun3 and larger battalions. This does not, however, affect in o.ny way the broad truth of the proposition which our irascible contemporary scornfully rejects. What we maintain is this : When all oilier arguments fail, tlie logic of "blood and "iron" remains. This is the last resort of opposing nations. They appeal to the wager of battle, and it is demanded by humanity, and by civilizatioa, that they abide by tho result, as embodied in the treaty by which the contest is closed. There is no inter? national tribunal which may try and decide causes where the parties arc mighty nations, and war settles questions which, at present, can be settled in no other way. The issue of the war is the finding of the court of irnis to which the nations have recourse, and, in this sense, it doc-3 partake of the nature of a judicial decisiou. Il ?3 tho best judgment that can be had, and, as such, it is entitled to respect. Nor do we object to take thc war in France as a test question. It is not de? nied that France waa the aggressor. In Paris, a3 in lue provinces, the cry ?ras : "On "to Berlin !" The whole mitton was nager to seize the Rhine Provinces, and to dictate peace under the lindens in the Prussian capital. Germany took up the gage which France threw down. The German battalions, victorious in every engagement, drove the French veterans before them until Napo? leon laid down his sword, and his chosen armies were slain, dispersed or prisoners of war. Now, tho Germans besiege the French metropolis, and the new levies, fight how desperately they may, are shattered and crushed by tho ponderous legions of thu inva? der. All this France brought upon herself. France is suffering tho pangs which .she dc ?ire? to iullict upon her neighbor, aud the civilized world will require that the treaty by which the war is concluded shall be faithfully observed by both the victor and the vanquished. Our contemporary says that France will not abide by a treaty made in the hour of lier humiliation. This is the oue great difficulty in the way of making peace. Germany went to war to protect herself from iuvasion and to maintain her na? tional independence. The conilict was not of her seeking, and when peace comes it will bc iu such a shape that France shall not be able, a few years later, to rip open the old wound, and attempt once more to lay waste tho fertile plains of Germany. With the example of Russia and the threats of France before her oyes, Germany will not content herself with paper guarantees, as she might have done were it admitted on all sides that the sanctity of treaties must be held inviolate. Bismarck will now insist upon material guarantees in the form of money and territory. Indeed, all the argu? ments of our contemporary, as well as those of Mr. Mill and Mr. Froude, only prove that it is not generally for the interest of a victorious belligerent to content himself with the securi? ty ol'covenants. The proposition that treaties may be violated whenever it is convenient is, therefore, a clear disadvantage, in prac? tice, to tho weaker party to whom il is de? sired to give an excuse for breaking the na? tional parole. Tlicy who lose the gama must pay the for? feit. It waa with thia feeling that th<; Soul It? em people accepted the result of the Con? federate war. They do not, any tho less, wish that they had been successful. They know that wtiut is intrinsically right cannot by disaster bo changed into wrong. Hut it is their daly, and llieir interest, to abide by tho judgment, of the tribunal of antis uuon the questions submitted for its deci.-ion. Wo do not pretend to say that any treaty of peace must endure forever. Titi} p irties to a treaty ure, however, mutually b<*uud to the observance of its stipulations, and, while tho one powor fu i th fa I ly fulfils tho obligations which it deliberately contracted, th? other luis no excuse, before God or man, for cancelling the contract and appealing to tho sword. No one would have complained had Russia requested a modification of the ' treaty of Paris upon thc ground lh.it the course of events had made its provieions dangerous or unnecessary. The wrong on the part ot Russia was in arrogating to herself the right of breaking a bargain, which she bad deliberately made as her only means ol' escaping from the penalty of the war which her gre.-dy ambition provok el Nobody expects treaties to be per? petual, but, we repeat, everybody expects them to last "till there is some other change "in circumstances luana recovery or strength "on one side or a loss of it on the other." Of the nation there should be exacted thc same good faith in fulfilling a solemn obliga? tion which the nation itself compels from its individual citizens in their relations with each other. And to accept wars as a means of settling tho relations of great communi? ties to each other, is a broader and higher doctrine than to treat fighting "as simply a "means of finding out which of two cations "is able to kill and wound moro of its cne "mies in a given period." Til? Financial Agency. It is currently reported that the effect of Senator Arnira's resolution for an investiga? tion of tlie management of the New York Financial Agency of the State will, in all likelihood, lead lo the removal of the cheru? bic Kimpton. It is also said that a citizen of Augusta, well known in financial circles, will be appointed in Mr. Kimpton's place. There is no dorjbt, however, that the public would be best satisfied if the Financial Agent of the State were a New York Bauk ing House of large means and established reputation. 4i mm II . New Books. BY TnE SEA. By Mrs. Sophronia Currier, au? thor of "Alice Tracy." New York : E. P. Dutton & Co. Charleston : Fogartle's Book Depository. Sketchy and spasmodic, with a string of sensational iucidentsout of all proportion to the demands either of the plot or tho char? acters, it is only charitable not to criticise this book iu detail. Its purpose seems to be good, as far as we can judge from the cir? cumstance of every ouo of its ttiousaml crises beiug pointed by au appropriate text of Scripture, aud we shall take the will for the deed, and be silent. Of a far higher order is SHILOH. ; OR, WITHOUT AND WITHIN*. By W. M. L. Jay. Which comes to us from the same publishers, and eau also bo fouud at Fogarlie's. This is a quiet and unpretending story, with, nevertheless, very high claims to considera? tion. It is the tale of a young city girl who goes to spend her vacation in a New Eng? land village, and who tells, iu a series of let? ters to a friend, the simple story of her daily life. The pictures of New England farm and parish life, several of the sketches of char? acter, and here aud there bits of the dia? logue, are worthy of high praise. Tho plot is also wei! managed, aud some of the clos? ing chapters evince considerable pathetic and descriptive power. It is true that the book has grave fault3. One or two of the characters are imitations and clumsy ones. Miss Bust, for install?e, oul-Maliiprops Mrs. Malaprop in a perfectly absurd way, and tho heroine's father is made up from Mr. Caxton pire, and tho father of "Aurora Leigh." Be? sides th?3, tho arguments with the professed infidel of the book aro too palpably con? structed upon thc familiar model, with carefully prepured "weak places" in the paper-giant's armor, Truth compels us also to say that Miss Winnie is frequently very priggish and pragmatical, aud deserved much harsher treatment from her dialectical foe. And, finally, the book would have been much better without the repulsive allusion on page 17. But, for all this, "Shiloh" is a very good story, ami gives promiso of much future excellence. Il only remains to say thal both tho volumes are very tastefully bound and printed. THE SHADOW OK Mor.ocu MOUNTAIN'. By Jane A. Austin, author of Cipher. New York : Sheldon & Co. Thi3 novel lacks the air of gloomy mys? tery which gave a certain charm to "Cipher," and what itdoses in sombre coloring, it doe3 not gain in consistent development of char? acter, piquancy of dialogue, or ingenious in? tricacy of plot The cynic of Hie volume is a dreary scoffer without wit or fancy, and tho muscular hero ?3 a queer mixture of s"U":sh obstinacy and the "tender and true." Beatrice Wan3tcad, the Cenci of the eventful history, disappoints all our expectations. The promise.i3 ?*f agouy, remorse aud crime; but all's well that ends well, and the threat? ened tragedy of the opening chapter soon becomes a semi-domestic drama, In which all hands, except the big villain and his mate, are made superlatively happy. "The Shadow of Moloch Mountain" is by no means an artistic work. Yet it has good points, and its sketches of Now England life will doubtless be read with interest, if not with admiration.
