The War i:a Europi1.
I'/ The war in Europe has become a subject of
anxious interest, it has already had djsas 1
trons effects upon many pursuits, even in this j
^\. '?oontry, and its termination is looked to with
^ * solicitude not tp have ,becn expected of a j
people so distant from the scene of cocfliqlfer*
s i-, it is hoped, upon the occurrence of that (le^^
, ble event, thiit"^ade''\uil revive, mereo be-*
ff come active, and that our staple products,
:V matching the spirit of improvement, will spring

^.v.-^i^red necessary that there shall he a coali-1
tibn of all the other Powers of Europe against
jiygyBossta, and so urgent tis the hope of stidt a ;
^pqfoalttion, that we realize the fact in spite of its ;
Jtr failure to occur, and are almost-ready Jo en- i
I ter into the controversy, and [>;< > ipitate, i!
possible, that desirable event.
.*WitJhi every sympnty.for the feeling that in/
duces such anticipations, we are constrained to
jfjpfelieve that'the/"-will prove illusory. W'ebe^j/;Jtieve,
fa th'fe first place, that the immediate re-,
V-e 'suits'of a return of Peace, will not ha siicli as :

fy^bome, but.we fear it will be'slow ami .Ideated
^^foT/nianv of the energies that bore it onwaids. at'
^^ffi?"conjmpnc;ement of the war. Upon the!
1" ' /* - | # * |
!$?-/ppeniu|j of the war, there was a want ol con-1
^ yy-fidence which occasioned d; withdrawal
|^&rge amounts of capital from the productive}
?|j|iptereits in England; large anso-mu of caj'i-;
Ssr^ytar.were also withdrawn to meet the extgem ie> j
Il^yqfrtbe ppntcst;' 'drafts wore aiso made upon
^^En^rt0iictive labour of the country, and the

^ ^pf4'c6^ndeT)cc, and a. returning tendency to re- j
SB|myestntent3; but we fear the process will he
t^at?wr, and that it will bo long before tho. reg^yvtusping
energies of life ami progress will act
-upon the trades and business of our country.

thitik that there is also illusion in the j
Lyr^?ope mat a speeay peace can come irozn a j
jj^v/peilitign of the other powers of Europe against;
^?;;ttussia. , Onr belief, from the first, has been!
, that Ras^ia is impregnable. Her progress;
? ? may be arreted by the physical strength which
p^'yb-tber powers of Europe may throw around

f^pontest is coextensive with her powers of!

there is the possibility of victory npon the oat- j
g^_'8kh"ts, but with proclivities down upon the!

and England to arrest them, she.may be drawn J
[|/C back within 'her borders, i?ut Uie contest is nn i

A speech was d< -livered by the President of
the Convention, which was responded to by

-O ? >- A
Rich Scene.?An amusing scene ocenrred
in Philadelphia on Wednesday, at the Coliiuil)i;v
Museum, in eons qnence of a suit having
been entered against Miss Richardson, the
'Pat Woman" at the instance of the "Swiss
Warbler," who charged her with slander. The
North American of ihorsduv savs:
" Mr. George Wise, deputy sheriff, \vc!:t up
to the Columbia .Museum, lo execute liis writ
and was there met by her counsel, De Wilt
C. Morris, Esq., who, in reply t<? what arrangement
was to lie made, replied, 'Execute your
writ.' Mr. Wise took a survey all around the
'prodigy' of creation, and filially very gallantly
told the lady his errand. She very deli her
ately replied, ' Very well?I am ready to go?
take me.' I lore was a fix. George acknowledged
t.i 11--? !r" cornered ; said he would postpo:i.-;!.e
;;ire>t tiil half past two o'clock.?
Even a sheriff could not arrest and carry such
a pile. At half prist two o'clock ShotilT Allen
himself, with a posse of soma ,\venty-five i.roil,
and a !;ig furniture wagon, marched solemnly
up to the p! ico of eoiillii-t. and was there met
wit'i the sumo serenity and answer by the la
fly, ' take me.1 !i must he known that Sheriff1
Allen would not. himself hrag on more than |
one hundred and fifty pound*, and when met |
hy this calm intonation, 'lake me,' looked a!
good deal horrified, lie surveyed the eight !
hundred pounds of female humanity from i \v- I
ry point of observation, and finally coming to i
the conclusion that he had not machinery and
power enough to make the arrest and remove j
the viclnn. postponed me arrest 1111 10 nay, ,
who 11 ho is bound to bring force enough to

The Civ a no Tuade.?The very extensive ;
increase in the u?c of guano as a fertilizer of!
the earth has caused the fratio in i' to become :
exc.ct diuglv important. The r.uumerof vessels;
airivet! at tiie port of Baltimore tbe jiast year i
loaded with guano was imostly ships of
the largest class. Assuming the freight paid '
to those from Peru to ! e an average of S2S j
per ton, the freight money alone amounts to I
$'?,18-l,00f). The whole value of guano iin- 1
ported from l*<?nI7 ur">?'>i) jm?o-r>?!
imV). and that fioio other ports at **25 per ton j
is over $200,000, making the value of the. j
guano imported into lialtiinore the. past year |
nearly four million one hundred thousand dol !
lars. It is to be remarked that the largest import
of guano has been into Baltimore, and
without correct data, it is assumed llj.it the :
quanti'y imported equals that, of a 1 the other
cities of the Union. At the c! >sc of the year
the snpplv on hand is very large, being com
puled in !) > about 10,000 tons, or about half)
the whole import of the year. The innikel in ,

sufficient to meet almost an\ demand, but in

The Chii&go Press of the 14th instant says
that a thorough investigation establishes the :

others ports of the world. According to its
calculation the grain exports of Chicago ex- !
ceed those of New York by 4,29(5,35)3 bushels, j

in the employment of Mr. Morris heard her
child cry, in the room next to her and went
in to see what occasioned it. (She saw as she

thought nothing of the accident, and about i
two weeks since was again called into the room J
by the crying of her child. Upon getting
in she saw a large rat leap from the bed, and
taking up the infant, which was about seven
months old she found that it had been severely
bitten on the mole of the head. No attention
was paid tojhc matter, in consequence of the
trillingof the wound, and in a few
hours afterwards the child died. Dr. Wilson,
who had the ease under consideration gives
it as his opinion that the bite caused death.

The Know Nothings. is
Until recently we have known but little of this new | *
secret combination, and even now wc are a know no- |c
thing, and our limited information is derived exclusive- r
ly from the published declarations purporting to be '
their principles, which our exchanges have copied
from the'r organ, published at Washington under the
title of the American Osyi.i: _ (
The first artie'e of their published creed reads thus: ' *'
We shall advoentc a repeal of the laws of natuniliz- ,
ation. or if that cannot be accomplished, then such a I(
nioditication of those laws as will prevent future immi- j'
grants from becoming citizens short of a residence of ]
twenty one j'Cars after taking the oatli of allegiance to j j
the United States, and of abjuration of all oilier pow- !'
ers, potentates and princes.
The policy of this article is, to say tho least of it,
doubtful, and its wisdom exceedingly questionable. A ]
very important and fundamental principle of our government
must be changed before this could be effected. ^
/second. We shall advocate the passage ofastrin- ]
gent law by Congress to prevent the immigration j
liitlier of foreigners, who are either paupers or crimi- | ]
nals, and to send back to the countries from which j,
thev come all such foreigners of these classes as may, . j
in violation of such law, hereafter reach carports; and ..
to require the President of the United States to dc- j ]
inand from any government, which may send hither I
such classes ofits subjects, immediate and ample satis- , .
faction for such outrage, and a proper indemnity j.
against the repetition thereof.
This seems more tolerable, and there is some sense >
in the proposition. Tho scores of immigrants, pouring ;
into the country, of all conditions, characters, and kinds, j i
calls for sonic additional security, by which ourinslitt:- 1
tions may tic preserved, and our rights maintained. 1
Wo can say that we agree with tho sentiment of '
this article, and in its proper place would urge its !
claims.
Third. We shall oppose the election or appointment '
of any foreign born citizen to any odieo of trust, honor !
or emolument, under the Federal or State Govern- i
meats, or the employment or enlistment of such per- ,
sons in the army or navy in lime of war: maintaining, i
as iv,' do. tin- (minion, that the native-born citizens of j
the United Slates 1mvc a right to govern the land of 1;
1 hi'ir birtli; and that all immigrants from abroad should 1
bo content with the enjoyment of lite, liberty and pro- !
perty under our itistitiiiiiions, without seeking to par j
ilctpale in tlie enaction, administration, or execution |
of our laws.
"We are not yet prepared to swallow this dose, and j
belicvo that such principles are repugnant to true |
republicanism, and out of place entirely in these Uni- j
ted Stales. There i: reason in all things, and to adopt '
such a proposition would ba to deprive ourselves, in j
many instances, of the be-t services of the best men in i
tlie land.
Fourth. Wo shall ad voce to and urge tlie adoption
of such an amended form of onili to support the Constitution
of the United Stales, and to be administered
to all persons elected or appointed to any oflicc of trust, j
honor, and emolument, under the Federal or StalC-goi'.- I
?. .-..-rwm"L-nti'iirni;y oxentuo trom such ollices i
all persons who shall not directly and explicitly recognize
the obligations and binding force of t :o Constitu- ;
tion of the United States, as paramount to all obliga- 1
lions of adhesion or allegiance to a 113* foreign prince, !
power, potentate, or authority whatever, under any [
and all circumstances. j(
All right nntl proper, we cin ttrgo no objection to i'
tliis, for in our judgment it would only ho enforcing J ,
wlmt our constitutional requirements imply, and every j
good citizen ought to 1 c at least willing to do this.
1
Fifth. We shall maintain the doctrine that no one jj
of the Stales of this Union has the right to admit to |
the enjoyment of free sutlVago any person of foreign 1
birth, who has not been lirst made a citizen of the I
United States, according to the ''uniform rule " of na- (
turalization prescribed by Congress, under the provision
of the Constitution.
The Constitution of the Unitod States requires all of
this, and no now feature is introduced upon the face of t
this article. (
Si.ill:. Wc shall oppose, now and horcaftcr, any
union of Church and State, no matter what class of
religionists shall seek to bring about such union. i
We endorso this with all our heart. Wo oppo?o all I
union of church and State, more particulnrly,the union >
which tli3 church of Romo would effect. Wo could
bo voluminous upon this point, but we pass on. If it
was necessary hero, wo might bo iuduced to become a 1
know nothimj.
Seventh. We shall vigorously maintain the vested
rights of all persons, of native or foreign birth, and j
shall ut ail times, oppose the slightest interference with i
such vested rights. I
Ei'jlith. Wc shall oppose and protest against all v
abridgement of religious liberty, holding it a$. a cardinal
maxim, that religious faith is a question oetween
each individual and his God, and over which no political
government, oc other human power, can rightfully |
excrciso any supervision or control at any tune, in auyw
place, or la any form. ' ?
So say wo. Tu that matter, no man can, or ought to g
bo his brother's keeper.
Ninth. TVe shall oppose all "higherlow" doctrines, c
by which tho Constitution is to be set at nought, vio- f
In ted, or disregarded, whether by politicians, by rcli- r
gionists, or by adherents or followers of either, or by
any other class of persons.
This ninth article sounds well on paper, butwhat will
the know nothings do with such men as John P. Halo, :(
whoso lives are the strongest possiblo evidence of tho
bad faith with which this plcdgo will be kept. Tho a

know-nothing lodges are chiefly acceptable to Hale
because tliey enable him to concoct in secret thoso c
baleful plans for the overthrow of the Union, to which t|
the best years of his life, and all the energies of body c
and mind, have been unremittingly devoted." "We
must believe tliat the know nothings havo something n
concealed beyond all this. We arq clearly of tlie opin- <1
ion that the South has no business whatever to join I a
in the enterprise. l\'c j0 not condemn it simply be- L
ixruse it is of "Northern production, but because we can {
sec nothing good, and much harm thai may result from R

lis secrot pojjtfcaleflimbination. We have already adop
d too raauyttf the prevailing isms and cants, wliich i
ivo had their origin and first growth in latitudes algether
uncongenial'with ours. Itfstiuio wo were
arning wisdom from past dear bought experience.?
he following series bring up the rear and closes the
tides upon Know Nothingism:
Tenth. wo shall maintain and defend IhpConstitution
3 it Sands, tho Union as it exi^tond the rights of the
tates without diminution a? ^mrnntccd thereby; opa*ing
at all times, and to the extentorour ability and
ifluenee, all who may assist them, or either of them
Eleventh. We shall oppose no man, and sustain no
inn. on tho ground of his opposition to, or his'support
f Democratic measures, or Whig measures; but we
iall oppose thoso who oppose our doctrines, and suslinthose
who sustain our doctrines.
Twelfth. And lastly, vc shall use our utmost oxerons
to build up an ^American Party," whoso maxim
liall he:
Americans shall rule their country* *
In conclusion we must be allowed to put our .veto
pon this new phase of political huckstering. Notwithstanding
we might favor some of their notions in
lie abstract, wo aro distinctly opposed to. their
yatem, and have no affiuity or inclination for under*
rrmmi nnnmfinns whinh arc as secret and dark as
lidnight without a moon.
Wc think it is high time for the peoplo tokn?w somehin'j,
and do something, when it-is proclaimed in the
i a lis of Congress that the Know Nothings "will Lake
are of the Juries and Sheriffs as well as the Judges."
n our humble judgment the South is deeply interested
n this matter, and wo should bo exceedingly sorry to
ind that Know Kothingism had taken root inonr midst
Until we think better of', it we must regard the aslociations
of the Know Kothings as exceedingly dangerous
to tho rights and interests of the South When
sonvinced to the contrary we shall make the amende
lonorablo.
Final Adjustment.
We are much.gratified in being able to announce to
jur readers thai the mail derangement has finally been I
irranged, afid we hope, now and ever after a final ad"
iisimcnt and mutual understanding shall continue to

There is too large an interest involved to al.
ow such a state of things to cxi.-t. We subjoin the
bllowing schedule of the mails, which we find in the
