The War in Europe, IMPORTANT NEWS* ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA.

We need hardly direct the reader's attention to the important news from Europe which we publish in the telegraphic column. It will create greater sensation than any news that has been received from the Old World since the fall of Sebastopol. Hardly a steamer since the battle of Waterloo has brought tidings fraught with

and more momentous importance, here not be a doubt that-the next packet will tell us the great military drama has commenced. The shock of war and the clash of arms have, ere this, resounded on the European Continent. Two of the

f'raneemilitary

reat empires of Christendom, and Austria, are in deadly conflict. Each has a standing army of over six hundred thousand men ready for immediate use. Each has a population considerably exceeding thirty millions. Each nation stands high in the roll of European civilization.

peror of France, has said to Austria and to the Pope, you must govern your people in Italy better you must give thorn more liberty and more individual rights. You must not be so dcspotical. If you do not do this: if you keep on in your present policy, a revolution of the people will break out in Italy that will convulse the Continent and destroy all the thrones. Revolution is contagious. If it breaks out in Italy it will extend into France and Germany. You will set my house on fire and destroy my Empire. I will not allow you to endanger my tranquillity and peace.

One night, near the last of March, groans were heard proceeding from the house, as of some one in great distress, and the neighbors, recalling the fact that Mrs. Fullerton had not been seen for a long time, were led to entertain suspicions of a new atrocity on his part. Mr. Birch, a neighbor, called at the house the next day, and was reluctantly permitted by Mr. Fullerton to see his wife, He found her in a chamber destitute of furniture, save a miserable bed on which she lay—buried in straw, with a dirty feather bed as a covering, and apparently without a particle of clothing upon her person. Still more shocking was her emaciated condition.— She was reduced to a mere skeleton—her hair matted and clotted with blood, and her face badly bruised. The scene was so sickening that Mr. Birch speedily sought the open air. The ladies near were soon enlisted, and repaired the following morning to the house, where they were met with repeated threats of violence from Mr. Fullerton, but they finally proceeded to put the skeleton form in a more tidy and comfortable condition.

Their

representa

tions of her situation are too revolting for repetition. In several places the bones had worn through the flesh, and her body was covered with stripes and terrible bruises. When nourishment was given her she ate like one famished, and her mind seemed to be in a condition bordering upon idiocy. There was every indication of her having been kept for a long time without food, fire or clothing, and subjected to frequent beatings by this inhuman legal proprietor of her person.

Through the interference of the Poor authorities, Mrs. Fullerton was at length removed to more safe and comfortable quarters. Her attending physician, Dr. Nicholson, attributes her present reduced condition entirely to brutality aud starvation.

Fullerton is of Irish birth, about sixty vears of a»c, and somewhat educated.— lie is not strictly temperate, but cannot be called an inebriate, nor has lie generally committed his brutalities under the influence of strong drink.

In England, in the reign of Alfred, the woman was shorn and stripped to the waist, driven away from her husband's house, and, in the presence of her relations, was scourged from tything to thythiug, until death ensued: while the adulterer was strung up to the next tree.

CRAWFORDSVILLE, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, INDIANA,MAY 14, .1859.

THE REPUBLIC.* NSJEFFERSON. An old Democrat, writing in the Portsmouth (New Hampshire^ Gazette, alludes to the recent: attempt ot the Republicans to appropriate J"efferson .as the father of their party, and his principles as their principles, in a manner that is likely to revive many reminiscences of those days when Jefferson was President, and the Democratic party sustained him against the fierce assaults of the Federalists.

One of the Republican* who were invited to attend the Boston5 celebration, and who appeared by his letter, was William C.Bryant, the editor of the New York Evening Post—who, in Jefferson's time, was an old line Federalist, and now bitter1 opposed to the Democratic party. Here is'his letter:

EKOM WILLIAM C. BRYANT, NEW YORK, April 1, 1859. GENTLEMEN-: I thank you for inviting me to the festival you are about to hold in honor of the memory of Jefferson. You do well to observe the birthday of that great man, one of the wisest political philosophers of his time—wiser, I think, than any who lived in times before him—one who saw deeper into the principles of government tliau his cotemporaries knew. I should be most happy to unite with you in this commemoration, but am withheld by my various occupations.

I am, gentlemen with great regard, &c. W. C. BRYANT. Messrs. H. L. Pierce and others, members of the committee.

This letter is .particularly rich when placed in contrast with the writer's former opinion of Mr. Jefferson. He professes now to think that he was "a great man"— "wiser than any who lived in times before him but formerly he regarded him "the scorn of every patriot name."

We append a short poem, writtei^by Bryant in 1803, and invite to it the attention of Democratic Republicans:

Our correspondent from Leavenworth City confirms the views which we have heretofore expressed in regard to a foray upon Chihuahua and Sonora, in the event of the failure of the Pike's Peak gold adventure. That agents have been at work in getting up an expedition which is to be concentrated in Chihuahua and Sonora, does not admit of doubt and the condition of the men who have gone out to the gold region—the destitution of many of them even when leaving our frontier, and the probability that hundreds and thousands will be in a state of absolute starvation, and, therefore, ready for anything, soon after their arrival—all these things

I HALIFAX, Thursday, May 5. The steamship Niagara has arrived here with the most alarming European news.

Austria has sent its ultimatum to Sardinia demanding a disarmament and the disposal of the Sardinian volunteers.— Three days were given for a reply to this demand, and in cases of refusal, war will be declared immediately.

Eighty thousand more Austrian troops have been ordered to the Ticino. Austria has rejected England's final proposition.— The French troops arc moving toward Piedmont.

A panic prevailed on the Paris Bourse. SECOND DISPATCH The Niagara brings Liverpool aud London advices to the 2d ult., four days later than those furnished by the North, Briton.

The three days given by the ultimatum of Austria to Sardinia would expire on Sunday evening the 24th ult. The English Government had telegraphed to Vienna a strong protest against the menance of Austria, and it is reported that Austria has replied, refusing to rcconsidcr her action and has already prepared a manifesto to accompany her declaration of war against. Piedmont. There was an active movement of Freuch troops for a concentration on the frontiers of Piedmont and also at Toulon. The commencenient of the Easter holidays bad prevented the full development "of the news in England. On the Paris Bourse Three Per Cents, fell 3e. in corisoquence of the alarming state ot affairs.'

The final proposition submitted to Austria by England was for a general disarmament to be agreed upon by Commissioners from the great Powers, including Sardinia, and for the admission of the Italian States to the Peace Congress as was the case at Lnybach. To this proposition all

The London Herald gives in a semi-offi-cial form, specific and exclusive information of the movement of the French army. It says that orders have been given.for the embarkation at Toulon of 30,000 troops, not to sail, however, till future orders.— The divisious at Lyons, Grenoble, Bc^anson, &c., were also ordered to be ready to march on a minute's notice, but, not to move until furthet instructions were given.

The total French force destined to cooperate with Sardinia in the event of war is estimated at 80,000.

They will be formed in two divisions, one under General Canrobert and the other under General Brazuav D. Llilliers and the whole to be under the command of the Emperor in person.

The public religious scfvico usually commenced at nine o'oclock in the morning and occupicd from six to eight hours, divided by an intermission of one hour for dinner." The people collected quite punctallv, as tho law compelled their attendance, and there was heavy fine for any one who rode too fast to meeting. The sexton called upon the minister and escorted him to church in the same fashion that the Sheriff now conducts tho Judges intaour State Courts.

There were no pews in tho church, and the congregation had places assigned them upon the rude benchcs, at the annual town meeting, aecording to their age, importance, and social stauding. A person was fined if lie occupicd the seat of another. Our local histories reveal that pride, envy and jealousy were active passions among the men of olden times, and it was a delicato and difficult business to "scat the meetinghouse," as it was quaintly called.

Many of the early churches of New England had two elcrgyinen—one, who was called the Pastor the other, the Teaeheriv' The Sabbath services were as follows:— The congregation assembled at an early hour—never later than niue o'clock. Af« ter prayer, a chapter of the Bible was read by one of the ministers, and "expounded" at length. In many of the churches, however, The Bible was not read at all, and it took years of agitatiou to curry that "innovation."

A psalm in meter was next sung, which was dictated, line by line, to the congregation this service was usually performed by otic of the deacons. The preacher did not take part in the introductory services The baptism, cases of church discipline and collections, always took plaec tho afternoon. The "long" prayer usually occupied from an hour to an hour and a hall, and man}' of tlic sermons of this period make from a hundred to a hundred and tiftV pages. There was a contribution cv^ ry Sunday, preceded by an appeal irotn one of the deacons. The boxes were not carried round, but the congregation arose to the deacon's seat, and

The collections were distrib

uted by the deacons to the ministers and the poor. The trials of ecclesiastical otlcnders. at the close of the services, often afforded much excitement and amusement for soiuo offences, a particular dress was worn, and the "confessions" of tho offender wero heard with much interest. Oftentimes the public services were continued until after sunset. After the benediction, the ministers passed out of the church, bowing to the people on both sid-?s of the aisle, as they all sat in silence until the clergymen and their families had gone out. Few persons wr imagine, would be willing to go back to these Sunday ceremonies of the Puritan Sabbath.— liosion Transcript.?:
