THE EUROPEAN WAR?ITS ORIGIN. Thrno yt-ars ago, with sanction of Louis Vnpoleon and un?ler hi* direction, n secret revolutionary organization wa* set on foot by llio Sardinian government. at Turin. Its object was two-fold?tir*t, to itupersede the party ol Jlnrzini, which, thouiih \meful in its day in keeping alive tho spark of liberty throughout the land, was now in tho way of practical freedom; and secondly, to overthrow the dominion of Austria in Italy, by directing tho revolutionary element ngainst it, but keeping it. back till the opportune moment arrived. How that -wns cnpciea may be seen by reading the letter to which we refer. It is very evident that the Sardinian government knew what it was about when it accepted the challenge of Austria. A loiter from Count Cavour to an Italian gentleman in this city, shows what confidence that government has in tho people of Italy being with it in this (struggle. It wants no men?it ha* abundance of the military element?it only wont# money. And Louis Nnpoleon knew exactly wher? he atood when he issued his revolutionary manifesto declaring in favor of the independence ol nationnlties. nnd intimating thnt Austria must be driven back beyond the Adriatic. He has ecizrd tlio electricity of the revolutionary element in Europe, nod. conducting it away from bis own throDe, he hns directed it againFt Austria. At tho same time he clip* the wings ol her englo, ei ipples her growing power, which had become menacing to France, and taken ravengo both for himxelf and llucsia for the double part which Austria played in her diplomacy nt tho outbreak of tho Crimean war. By h.s influence in closing that war in a way satisfactory to Alexander, and using Englnnd as o cntspaw to further his design*, he made the Russian Emperor his friend, andthev have understood each other ever since. The morrifl?e of Prince Napoleon with the Princess C-lothilde. of Sardinia, was only a link in the chain <>f diplomatic nnd political events, all planned beforehand hy the master nund of the ruler of Fiance, and virtually now the ruler of Europe. lie appears to have cast his all upon r (ingle throw of the dice; hut. it is not so. The ^rarnc in in In* hands. In poing into this war he win regarded, a (.hort timo ago, as a "madman" hy some Britieh statesmen and by London journals which claim great credit for far-sceinc ?ac?city. But he has out goneralled avery government in Furope, and he stands today the ftrongest of its monarchs and the real arbiter of its fate. Ilis great uncle, after hit fall, in commenting on the ingratitude of the kings and emperors ol F.nrope, remarked in the bitterness of his soul, thai if he had 011I3' put on the 'bonnet, rouge," ho could have overturned ever}' throne in Europe. The nephew lias taken the hint. lie has not exactly put o( the cap of red republicanism, but he holds the revolutionary element in the hollow of hit lianH -h.. r'ir",.. 1,r..-ir. ?1.:_I_.:_-1 ?J j: recta the storm."

Before he had entered upon lii< twenty seventh he had win the battles oi Monte Notte, Millesitno and Mondovi; forced tho terrible pa?.?n!ioof the liridee of Lodi, en tered Milan in tiinmph , seized upon the greal iron crown of Lombnrdy, though not yel Clowned; driven the Austrians out of Mnntuo; beaten tho Tyrol tfirmy of Wurms at Castiglione; forced f'nrmn, Modeno, Rome and even Naples. into Mibmusk'n; in fine, reduced nil Italy, from the Alp# to the I'apal dominions, under his sway.

THE COURT OF EQUITY. The Juno sittings of our Court of Equity commence on next Mondny wct-k. bis Honor Chancellor Johnston presiding. The term of tho Court promises to be a busy one, ?a many and important matters of Litigation aro pcnd- ' ing. Tho Commissioner has been rery busy ' during the past and the present week, with his references, and wo believe that he has a reference for every day of tho succeeding week. 1 If it thus tnkes three weeks to obtain the testimony, in the cases pending, the natural infer- 1 ence is that ono week wilt scarcely suffice for the 1 dispatch of the business of the Court. Tho present is a busy time with the furmers, but tho importance of the interests to be determined bv their hrtnonoa in flnnrt. will ?ffnrd ?omp V I ? ? - ' ~ " compensation for the low of time from farming operations at home. The business of the Court seems to be constantly increasing, and we believe that the opposition to the Court is gradually passing awav, as the public raind.has become better informed with regard totl.. nature and scopo of its operations. The chief ground of objection has been the costly character of its proceedings, but this is a small item, when estimated by the value of the interests which are here determined, or when compared with the commissions realized by Executors and Administrators in the management of estates. In the case of all largo estates a resort to a Court of Equity for Ihe purpose of sale or partition we believe will invariably effect a great saving in the matter of costs.?But, after all, clieop liti. gation is rather an evil than a benefit. It is much more important that the rights of property be well defined, and be interpreted by a tribunal which shall administer a valid and effectual remedy in every case of doubtful or conflicting claims?which shall afford the best means of detecting fraud and repressing wrong. And we believe that for the purposes of its organization, no better system of justice has ever been devised than that which is administered by our Court of Eqtify'. VOSE'S NEW LAWYER. The above is the title of a new worlc which we lately purchased from an agent, ezpccting to find it what it purported to be, a convenient manual for reference, containing in addition to other valuable information, the most important legislative enactments and decisions of the several States upon business transactions generally. And we were the more inclined to this opinion from looking over tfee ^>Dg list of con tributors, comprising some of the most distinguished legal names of tho country. Now whatever may be the merits of tho work, Vre hnve detected, upon a very hasty examination, several errors, which the exercise of ordinary cure Ta think might have prevented, and which are sufficient to impair one's confidence in the general accuracy of the work. For instance, in giving the Law of Limitation in South Carolina, fixing the periods for bringing the several actions, real and personal, the Act of 1712 is published at length, but no reference is made to the more recent Act of 1824 extending the period of limitation for the recovery of land, from five to ten years?thus conveying the erroneous idea that a title to land by adverse possession matures within tho short period of five years. Again, the rale of interest for South Carolina is given at 6 per cent, and for Georgia 7 per cent.?an error in both cases. Such errors as these in a work whose sol? merit consists in th? accuracy of its information are onougli to seal its fate in th? public estimation, since they show a want of that ccrc in the compilutiun, which can alone guarantee its general accuracy. That they should occur is the more singular, as on the liftt of contributors are tho Damns of several lawyers from each State. MARRIAGE*OF SLAVES, The following is a summitry of the very interesting Report submitted to the Convention of the Episcopal Church at their recent session in Charleston, in respect to the marriage of laves: "The relation of husband and wife is declared to be of divine institution, and to be equally binding on the slave as on the master. The injunction of the Saviour, forbidding the separation of husband and wife is obligatory ulate the disposal of tho slave as not to infringe the divine injunction. Voluntary abandonment on the part of the slave ought to come within the same rule as fa the case of a free person ; but when the abandonment is involuntary, and caused by circumstances without the control of the parties, the refusal to allow a second would often produce much evil and hardship; bat in giving iU sanction to snch second marriage, the Convention would do to in the qualified language applied by the Apostle to casea of self-restraint. The report makes the remarkable statement that there is no instance in South Carolina of a le 1 g.l ""??<? THE KEWBEEBY P0I80HHT0 CASE. ( The Newberry ConservatUt furnishes the following particulars, respecting the recent fearfnl case of poisoning in that Village. All of the poisoned persona are regarded out of danger, except Mrs. Wilkes, whose case is still desperate : On Thursday morning laat, just after their usnal Breakfast hour, the family of Mr. Robert ' Stewart found themselves in the greatest peril. Eight persons on the lot, Mr. Stewjsrt, Mrs. . Stewart, Mrs. Wilkes, kousekeeper, and five negroes, were taken suddenly ill, with all the ' symptoms of having taken poison. Our physicians were on ni* spot as promptly "at possible, only to confirm the worst fears aud render all > the assistance in their power. In the afternoon of that day the ei>ok, a ' negro woman named Fanny, was lodged in 1 jail, where she confessed to having put a?quan. tity of arsenio. in the water bucket, in the kitchen. Water was used from thisbueketin preparing all the dishes for breakfast, except iL . t ' .!*. J 'i 1. . tL ff . mi j me uiKuit iiiu it limy ue, me cuuae. jliiib nceounfcs for Mr*. Kate 8tewart's escape, a? she ' ate only of these two dishes. Miss Bue Wright and Mrs. Wilkes* son were fortunately absent f from the breakfast table;?the first was confined to siok-bed, and the other, after taking ao early breakfast, was off to school. 1 Fanny farther confessed that she had been furnished with tbe poison by a white man, with B whom she had, for some time past, been op the moat intimate terms. (tVe shall not, for his family's sake, publish bis name.) After using a 1 part of the arseoic, she had buried the remainI der in the garden where it was found in tbe t plaee aha designated. The ptelrage was iden. tided by the Druggist as tne one he sold the night before to tbe white man alluded to. He, ' also, was lodged in jail on Thursday evening, i, so that it ia a matter of congratulation that the 1 criminals in tbia nrforiooa business are secure from etfap*. No other reason can b- assigned r fur the dastardly aot, than Fanny did it to revenge herself upon her master^ family fqr i- the punishment ha bad inflicted, and threatened still to inflict.i>eaaua? of her shamafel itatimSAv 3 with this man, wboM eo-oper?tion in tffebeta Hah plan ?he, to bia everfcatiog abanta b? it aaid, eaaily aecared.

THE MILITARY SYSTEM. A TOICK PBOM PENNY'S CREEK. Mr. Editor:?In vain hove wo endeavored to ice the good to arise, or tho benefit to be obtained by our present Military System. Wo would now appeal to your columns to make one brond request that some one who has been of an observing turn of mind, and has paid attention to passing events, as he glided down the stream oi time, will Hnform us of the little good likely to be nchieved by calling out the nuiet indtmt r imix 0it.i7.enn of our Stntn and compelling them to perform evolutions of n kind of military character, for which thej care nothing, and which they do not in the least try to remember. We boast of Military Spirit! Now, Mr. Editor, I am confident that the presence of men under arms on the muster field does not warrant the supposition that mililary pride prompts their attendance. Remit the fine in caee of default, and I am certain that not one man in ten will attend. Docs this not prove beyond all doubt that tho chief, yea, the only object, is to avoid the penalty. Mr. Editor, we do not wish to trouble our Legislature on thin subject. All we ask is, that they will do away with the fino for non-attendance, and there is nothing more ccrtaio than that the Military System will very shortly be numbered among the things that were. There is not one in ten of those who have mustered from 18 to 45 that can go through tho Manuel of Arms correctly. A short time since I asked one of the Old Field Graduates to Ml)re8tint arniH " nnd tliA rpfmltnf liin plforl. urn* a very poor appearance of " charge bayonet." Wo have asked, Where is the good it does or can do f Echo answers, Where? It will not make the bravo more valiant; it cannot make a coward fight, for we know that bravery comes from nature and education. Fus?, Feather* and Epnulett tell us that the glorious liberty we enjoy, tho freedom bequeathed to us by our fathers of '76 was achieved by and through this very military ayston. Now, we are not verdant enough to swallow any such stuff. Wo would ascribe llfllr success to their stout hearts, strong arms and invincible determination. In our humble opinion tho Revolutionary War would .have ueen 01 iuucii snorter (Juration it the heroes ot '76 liad been provided with guns and amunition equal to the foe. We cannot believe it would lmve taken more than half the time to have scared John Bull off the track. Boots, Epaulet* and Feather a take the liberty nt all General Parades, to compliment the ladies who deem fit to favor us with their presence, thinking the Military has their approbation. But, Mr. Editor, they are widely mistaken on this point. Woman's presence is through sympathy. She comes to fulfil her heaven-born mission, and though she sees there is no present good to be obtained, aud no future benefit 'to accrue, yet she comes radiant with smiles and beauty to lessen the burden of the quiet citizen called upon by tho military law to stand or stalk about in an old field under a broiling sun for two or three hours, and for what good it would take a second Solomon to tell. We are in favor of Military Schools, such as those of West Point, Columbia or Charleston. From the graduates of such schools we could, in all times of ceed, get officers to command who understand the M ilitary as it should be. Is there a South Caroliuion that can possibly make it degeneracy to put aside the present inefficient system of I'etiy Musters and iiselesi Parades. Look at Georgia, Alabama, Miesissippi, and in fact all our Southern sister State*, They do not muster, and can we, without utrisiiip iiiiij, sv 10 nb tue oauio nuio kiiptriitijro ly hit duty to obey the process of the Units* States; to hold the prisoner in custody nndei it, an i to rtfute obedience to ihe mandate or pro cent of any government. And consequently, ii is his doty not to take the prisoner, nor euffei him to be"taken, before a State judge or court upon nfiabea* corpu* issued understate author ity. No State judge or court, after they nr< judicially informed that the party is imprisoned under the authority of a State, in the forrr of judicial procesa or otherwise, should attempt to control the marshal, or other author ised agent of the United States, in any res pect, in the custody of his prisoner, it woulc be his duty resist it, and to call"& his aid an] force that may be necessary to maintain th< authority of the law against illegal interfence No judicial process, whatever form it may as same, can have any lawful authority outsidi the limit* of the jurisdiction of the court 01 judge by whom it is issued; and an attempt U force it beyond these boundaries it nothing lesi than lawless violence." Tax War an? the Demand fob Breadstuff* -"The London Economist, allnding to the rapi< raise in the price of breadstuff's owing.to th< war, speculates as follwws upon the probabli demand upon this country for a supply: . "Among 80,000,000 of people, the taking o 600,000 men, that is one out of 180, more oi less, from ordinary occupations, will have bu little influence upon nroduerton, and no mor< upon consumption than will be caused bi wrfste.

The opinion of the Supreme Court of th< United State*, say* the CoiittitiUion. in thi Wisconsin fugitive slave case has at lengtt been published. Though we have hiihertc given the substance of that part of it regarding the powers of the federal courts and thi duties of the federal officers in osses arising under the federal law*, we subjoin for the bet ter information of the public, a paragrapt from the official copy of the opinion: "Although it is the duty of the marshal 01 oflier person holding hitn to make known bj a proper return the authority under which h< .1 i: : ? THE FOREIGN NEW8. The lute arrivals from Europe report nothing decisive from the 6eat of wur. The delay of tho Austrians in giving hatile seenm to have occasioned some perplexity to Ihe foreign journalists, but has been accounted for by Ihe swelling of the rivers from the recent rains, the breaking down of the bridges and the artificial flooding of the country by the Sardinians, and the inoro rapid arrival of the French troops than had been anticipoted. Another reason has been assigned, in the fear which i9 entertained by Austria, of a revolt on the part of the garrisons of Lombardy and Venice? one third of whom are said to consist of Hungarians. Whatever may be the cause of the delay, it is likely that the arrival of the French Kmporor will now expedite the crisis. The French people are now anxiously anticipating the news of a great victory, and havo already prepnred a programme of thanksgiving for the Jrtvfiil apfaninn. nnnpv tha follow iti*? items: N*w York, May 29.

The following paragraphs from tho N. Y. n Herald present* summary view of the present 1 distracted condition of tliot unhappy republio: J' The news may lie summed up in o few words. President Juarez was at Vera Cruz endeavor- j, ing to combine a treneral movement against c the centre, by the several leaders at different r points on the circutnferenco of the republic R who recogniso the constitutional rule. Gen- v eral Alvarez was at hid estate. Providencia, n?nr Acajnileo, waiting for arms, when it is j slfld l7e wdl take the field. Degollado had re- j trented from tho capital to Morelia, and is t to b'i succeeded as commander-in-Chief by General Aramberi, who is supposed to possess ( greater inilitary gift*. Vidaurri lias sent out , lroin Monterey, under Colonels Zuazua and , Garcia, all .tffc forces he can- raise, and now f busies liWiweK Wnpressing conspiracies at home, , decreein'gMicw?t.,ritfs to raise revenue, and ex- , ereising generally all the powers of an inde- . penneut government. Garza, wlio left Vera ] Cruz with one thousand men, some time since, , lo help take Mexico, hits returned lo Tampico , with his officer*, every one of his men having deserted. In this position of uffnirs the constitutionalists liuve determined to adopt the Fabian policy in their military movements, and not ( give battle to the soldiers of the thurch when j they can help it. On tho other side Miramon is in the city of , Mexico, milking desperate efTorts to raise inon- , ey, and preparing to send forces to attack his ' opponents in Morelia. He is supposed to favor ] the idea ol taking possession of the church , property, and his popularity with the clergy is , said to wane on that account. Marquez, the butcher of Taeubaya, is spoken of ns his successor. General Rubles, commanding the ehurclt troops in observation on the State of Vera Cruz, has entered Jalapn, where he awaits attack by Anipudia and Traconis. All the accounts arc very severe on the French and British Ministers, who still take an active interest in the plans of the priests. They are said lo have guaranteed recently several loans taken up on the public buildings of the. capital. Both parties pursue tho atrocious practice of shooting the officer* among their prisoners? the clu reh partisans exhibiting rather more ferocity than their opponents. The foreigo naval lorcea had been mostly withdrawn from ..r >i .1 -i low lover Reason, one vessel only of each nation remaining there. The condition of anarchy and dissolution which Mexico exhibits to-day proves that she will lapse fast enough into our Union without any payment of money, and perhaps even too fast. The process of her natural dissolution will of itself extinguish government there in a few years, and with it the vast mnss of Mexican, foreign and domestic debt will die out.? Even if tlie constitutionalists triumph there is no reason to believe that they can reorganize government and society. l)isoord has become the norm*I state of the country, and we see there no clement of strength sufficient to subdue the hydra.

Flowers were cast before the Emperor by the populace during his progress. The Emperor was expected to take his departure from Genoa on the 14th for the army, to whom lie had issued the following order of the day. Soldiers?I come to place myself at your head, to eonducL you to the combat.
