The ton yr of tho despatches pub?
lished this morning indicate that a
t-ontinOntal"w-ar is about being inau?
gurated. It was thought that thc
conference between the great powers
would Kettie.'If possible, tltc disputes
between the alftngohib'vle Oo>vern
inc?its, but the demands of Austria
were of s?cha nature that the neu?
trals deemed, it impossible to effect
?ny arrarigement, and consequently
broke off all negotiations. The effect
wf this news has caused ?bl ?xi this
country to wm up int.? the tittie-, ?nd

Strong 1.nurung e.
We desire that every reader of tho
Phoenix should peruse the following
i cathyparagraphs fruin the Washing?
ton JfatioHal llei>ublicf.tn. They read
aa if they were from the. pen ?>i' An?
drew Johnsou, or they aro nt le-wt
dictated by him :
"We do ?ot believe that (iod has
given to mortal man the power to
manage the English language so that
it "fvill ever again in one paragraph
contain so many unmitigated and un
reasonable falsehoods, or convey so
much injustice io thc Southern, and so
much humihatiug defamation of the
Northern section of this nation, as
the sixth opinion fulminates.
"Again, in 'No. 6,' we lind that tho
question is whether 'conquered
rel?ela may chango their theatre of
operations from thc battle-field,'
* * 'to tho halls of
Congress, and through their repre?
sentatives seize the Government
which they fought to destroy.' lt is
a committee of American Senators
and Representatives that publish
such infamous misrepresentations of
the present position as tho above.
The man that wrote thc sentence
quoted, and tho men who signed it,
knew it to bo utterly without truth,
or else their ignorance is so flagrant,
that it is deplorable that they occupy
high and responsible stations.
"Is this a Government of thirty
six or twenty-five States? Shall
loyal men go into Congress from
whatever section they may hail? Ou
these issues we have no fear of tho
people; they will demand that all
loyal men shall enter thc halls of
legislation: and if the thirty-ninth
Congress is incompetent t<> decide
whether a man is loyal or not, or
properly elected or not, thc fortieth
Congress will have the necessary
amount of intelligence to settle such
points."
HEALTH OK SUMNER AND STEVENS.
Senator Sumner continues quite Ul.
His physician counsels rust and ces?
sation of his studies and Congression?
al labors. The health of the coun?
try, if not his own, would certainly be
?inproved by a strict compliance on
the part of the Massachusetts Senator
with this advice. As far as the world
can discover, his studies and labor?
are all directed to producing discord
in the republic. Tl uni. Stevens
labors in tito same, direction have im
paired his health, it i said, get*?'
rally. His physician says that " quiet
will soon restore his otherwise not
impaired constitution." Tho cud of
his efforts will seriously impair the
country's constitution, whatever may
bo the fate of his own.
THE 16TH or JCXE.-Yesterday thc
anniversary of thc battle of Secession
ville - was selected by the ludios of
(marleston as a suitable time to con?
secrate to the memory of our deceased
soldiers. The Courier suggests that
henceforth we shah banish from our
thoughts the sad recollections of our
'.lost cause," except in so far ns they
pertain to tho sacrifices made by the
gallant men who perished in its de?
fence.

DJVURUES ia OHIO-UPWARDS or
800 LAST YEAH.-The Cincinnati!
Gazette has au interesting condensa?
tion of that portion of tuc report of
the Ohio Commissioner of Statistics
for 1865, which relates to thc number
and character of divorces. It says:
The whoie number of divorces in
this State reach tho number of 837 in
ono year. Thia, at the present popu?
lation of the State, is one to 3,000
persons, and one divorce to twenty
six of the annual number of mar?
riages. It is not a very pleasant
thought, that when we look upon
twenty-six couples of young married
people, we know that oue of these
couples must be divorced. Yet such
is the state of fact.
The causes of divorce are described
in the revised statutes of this State
to be: 1st. "Another wife, or hus?
band, living." 2d. "Wilful absence
for three years." 3d. "Adultery."
4th. "Impotency," which is put
under the general head of iraud. 5th.
"Extreme cruelty," whici, v ith the
7th, "Gross neglect of duty," is put
under the same head. 8th. "Habi?
tual drunkenness," The divorces of
other States are likewise recognized,
which oftentimes give rise to frauds.
To divorce parties for "three years'
wilful absence," is, in many cases, to
legalize fraud. It may be stud that
neither the wife nor society are bene
? fitted by keeping a vicious or vaga?
bond husband. But if a husband or
wife-especially the former-chooses
to take that mode of divorce in this
immense extent of country and vari?
ous States, he oan do it any time. By
residing in any of four-fifths of the
American States for two or three
years, a divorce can be obtained on
thc part of the vagrant husband, at
the request of the husband or wife,
while the other party is, perhaps, la?
menting his absence, and uttorly in?
nocent of any oftonce.
J The statistics of tho County Court
are as follows: Adultery, 270; absence,
256; cruelty and neglect, 220; drunk?
enness, 55; fraud, 20.
I This statement, in one particular,
! fails of giving the true result. Ouly
! fifty-five cases are put down as caused
I directly by drunkenness; but that was
I thc true cause in double that number,
I because the trial of the cases in court
i shows that drunkenness has been a
main cause of cruelly and neglect.
It is a little curious that while thc
i crime of adultery is very difficult to
i prove, there should be no less than
286 cases of opeu adultery proved in
j court. It shows great abandonment
? of character on the part of some por
' tions of the community. It is not
. less curious that the majority of these
i are in Counties where there aro no
; vary large towns.

A lifo assurance ia nothing more or lea?
than an association of individuals, who
contribute a portion of their earnings to a
geueral fund, to be distributed at theil
deaths to their families or other depend?
ants on them, aa they may direct. Its ad?
vantages arc within the reach of all who
possess a fair degree of health, and tba
most ordinary means of support. The day
laborer, by appropriating but a small por?
tion of his earnings, may secure more for
his family thau ho might lay up otherwise
by years of toil. Ther? are few persons
who do not spend frivolously every year
more than would be required to keep their
lives insured for thousands of dollars.
