BUSKIRK, of Monroe Co., JOHN PETTIT, of Lafayette. _ e — THE TENTH DIS‘ZI‘BICT. The nomination of a candidate for Congress by the Democracy of the Tenth District is attracting general attention. The Warsaw Union of last week contains a lengthy article in which the editor expresses regret at the wide differences of opinion existing among the Democracy with regard to the best course to be pursued, and giving it as his opinion that the party, from all indications, could not Le united in the support of Gen. Hascall as an independent candidate. We make the following extracts from the Union’s article: “ i

We had‘:.m{ged that the superiority of Hascall over Williams would be sufficiently apparent, that not only the majority of Democrats but.a large number 3f conservative Republicans would vote for him, if for no other object than to defeat Mr, Williams. ' The Democratic party would only- be indirectly benefited if Hascall sheuld be-elected. The advantage would be in breaking up a dynasty that is rearing itself upon the people, which year by yeul;grows stronger and more difficult to dislodge. It is already apparent that the ring i 8 farming out positions on promises of future .nominations regardless of the fitness of the parties. . Many Republicans who are opposed to this deplorable state of affairs, expressed their willingness to unite with the Democrats, and if possible, defeat Mr. Williams' re-election. The Democracy and the dissatisfied Republicans, could easily elect a candidate over Mr. Williams, and many leading Democrats were favorable to the project, * * * * ~* We arealsoconvinced that Ilascall maintained: principles in harmony with the Democratic party, and identified with ‘the interests of the people of the West. He stood ready-to subscribe to a western people’s platform, anti-tari ff, antiNational Bank. I that respect the Democrats and conservative Republicans would have gained one representative in Congress-. e S The Auburn Z'imes demands the nomi nation of a “sound, substantial Democrat, ope who can expose the sophistry of the smooth, oily, serpentine tongue, of Chiarming Billy,” and confidently predicts that “his triumphant election would be as certain.as the dawning of the morn of the second Tuesday of October next.” . The 'Columbia City Post continues in its advocacy of Gen. Hascall as a fusion candidate. . . i

The Huntington Democrat has thus far abstained from any allusion to’the congressional question. ‘

" The Goshen Democrat gives room to communications pro.and con on the Hascall question. It will be remembered that a few weeks ago the Democrat expressed a decided preference for Capt. Mitchell, and would, doubtless continue the advocacy ot that gentleman’s nomination if the Capt. would consent to.become a candidate,” i i o

The Elkhgt Union expresses its readiness to support an “open and fearless opponent of the present réckless majority in Congress—* * * * he whowill come out and declare himself ready to enter the field to right these palpable wrongs, and also in favor of giving the BSond holders no exclusive privileges in the way of exemption from taxation. When such a man,” continues the Union, “presents him self as a candidate for Democratic favors, then we are ready to support him asa strict Democrat, even -although at some previous. time he may lave entertained different sentiments, politically.” Papers outside of our District continue to discuss the proposition of the Democracy accepting Gen. Hascall as their candidate. The Plymouth Democrat devotes nearly & column to the subject, and is very severe in its animadversions upon the General. It says the General’s “nominatior. would secure him only such Democratic voteés as would be cast for an independent candidate ; and as a Democratic candidate he would lose mor¢ Democratic votes than he could bring from the Republican party; thus proving him to be » weaker candidate than a straight Democrat would be.” . : ;

. The Bouth Bend Univn repeats its warnings against the nomination of Gen. Hascall, claiming its right to do so by reason of a thorough knowledge of the man. - . The Upper Sandusky (Ohio) Union, edited by E. Zimmerman, formerly of the Columbia City Post, denounces General Hascall in ' fierce terms. It says the proposition to nominate that gentleman is preposterous and should not be entertaiged for a moment.’ k 4 .

We furnish in the above, as we have on former occasions, a synopsis of, the, expressed views of our contemporaties. We have not deemed it necessary to take part in_the discussion, preferring to await the assembling of the convention, and then counselling with our fellow democrats as’ to the best course to be pursued in unit- ! ing all the elements of opposition to the re-election of Mr. Willisms. ~ . .

SYMPATHY FOR PRUSSIA. t No event in the Old World has ever attracted so general attention in the Ux ted States as the conflict be%nz and Prussia. Meetings have beemgheld in all the principal cities o%he Union, puq ticipated in by Germans as well as native Americans, and attended with enthusiasm for the unity of Germany that finds a parallel- only in the exciting days of 1861, when- the united voice of the North proclaimed its unalterable opposition to the destruction of.the American Union by treason and rebellion in the South. - Can it be said that this sympathy for Prussia is unnatural? = Surely, no! The ‘pretext upon which France contemplated war against Prussia was removed by the withdrawal of Prince Leopold from the catididature for the Spanish throne. The. Ge¢rmans of the United States believe that other reasons prompted Napoleon's hostility toward Prussia—that its true origin may be traced to jealousy, to his dislike for German unity, to his feelings agamst the greatness and power of the “Fatherland.” Napoleon’s desire to stand at the head/of Europe, his ardent wish that he be recognizad #s its dictator, and his disposition '@:rfem with the affairs of other nations, are held to be the causes ‘ that. led to the concentration of vast armies ‘on the Rhine. ° ‘Let no one for A moment entertain the idea that the German Americans are enthusiastic for the King of Prussia, or any other potentate of Europe. No; that is not the prevailing thought. They extend,

their sympathies :to William, ‘Rex, because they recognize in him the defender of German honor, the protector of Gerllzan nationality, and the avenger of 'rench arrogance, They recognize the fact that should France succeed in drench ing German-soil with blood, and plant her flag in triumph; upon German forts, that the grand achievements of the past four years would be annulled, and the great work of consolidating helpless states and ‘provinces into one great German power rendered nugatory. The position of the German-Americans is most eloquently defined by Senator Schurz, who addressed an immense meeting'in the city of New York on Wednesday night of last week, in the course of which he expressed the following patriotic sentiments :

It is only patural that the hopes of our German Awericans should fly with the flag of our mother country, for the victory of (fermany means the victor{) of truth and ﬂ"ustice. not only in Germauny but throughout kKurope. It means farther the freedom of the middle classes throughout Europe. It is therefore not to be wondered at that here in America not only Germans, but Americans themselves wish for the victory of the German flag. It is not only the remembrance that in America our German blood has flowed freely for the cause of American unity, (Applause.) It is also because the day is not far nfistant when all forms oftyram:{v must end in Europe too. Because the railroad, the telegraph, the steamboat, must spread civilization and freedom ; and among the nations of the earth the Americans know they can find none who can and will aid them in the march. of civilization and progress better than the Germans (Great applause.) Inall parts of the earth the Germans and Americans will carry to%ether the ﬂag of freedom; and therefore it is that to-day the great American heart is warming towards us, and Americansistand by us in this conflict. (Applause.) Let us betrue ourselves to the ald home, for who can be a ood man who forgets to revere his father and ﬁis mother ; and who that forgets his fatherland can be a true gatriot in another land.— (Applause.) Let us therefore not fear that the Americans will be against us. Stand, then, by our old fatherland, and in the meantime let us not forget the laws of this our adopted country, and the obligations we owe to it. But these laws do not forbid us to remember the fatherland ; they do not forbid us to fight for freedom in the Oldy’ World any more than in' the new. They do not forbid us to help the wounded, to assist the widows and the orphans that will be made. . Let us not,” friends, allow a single day to go by before we send out across the Atlantic the sympathy we:feel for our German brethren | there. Stand up, old fatherland, and never yield ! (Tremengous applause). | - —— | Reform Ticket in Marion County. . The reform movement inaugurated by the German Republicans of Indianapolis has finally calminated in the nomination of a eitizen’s ticket that will in all probability be elected next October. On Saturday, July 16th, the friends of reform, irrespective of party, met at Indianapolis, and nominated a full senatorial, legislative, and county ticket. The candidates for Clerk, Treasurer, Auditor, and Recorder pledged themselves to receive only ¢pecific salaries for their services. ‘Phe Clerk, Sheriff, and Treasurer are limited to $5,000 per annum, the Auditor $4,000, and Recorder $3,000. The ticket is composed of the best men ‘in“the county, and is about equally divided between the two political parties. 'Hon. T. A. Hendricks participated in the cofivention, and delivered a speech in which he cordially approved the nomination of a Treform ticket; not only' in: Marion' county, but wherever the publicinterést demanded it. ‘Major J. W. Gordon, a prominent Republican, also made a speech of like import: The reform ' ticket is' ‘supported by the Sentinel and the Daily Telegraph (German ‘Republican.) Adolph Seidensticker, prin-. cipal proprietor of the Tatter jourgal, was president of the convention, . The Volksblatt (Democtatic,) has not yet indicated: a willingness to support the ticket. = - | ol i o B v Congressional Nominations. ; Since our last.issue the Democracy of the First, Third and Ninth Districts have made their nominations of candidates for Congress;,. . Hon. Wm. E. Niblack was unanimously re-nominated in the First, Hon. "Wm.' 8." Holman 'the same in ‘the | Third, and in ”f{ﬂﬁ‘lﬁﬂﬁh}’ thé nomination’ .was conferred upon Jobn Colerick, Esq., of Ft, Wayne. The utmost harmony prevailed in each-of the above conventions. Niblack ‘' wnd Holnian * will ‘doubtless be refelected,,&n’& the prospects for a democratic vietory in the Ninth are considered quite favorable. i

~ After the above was placed in type, the telegraph apprises us of the nomination of Major Will. C. Moreau, .of Anderson, ag the dertiocratic candidate for Congress from the E'}glgth (Logansport) District.— Mr. Moread was formerly.a Republican; but bas acted with the ’Pémwx&&ﬂfmm she commencement, of 'the reconstriction infamies.

. THE WAR lil EUROPE. = ontrary to general expectation, no e cment ias as ye w:x mbet.%::n %the ‘armi of France and ia. The redich ar | 810 'ﬁ? a@ Btrﬂ)ﬂl’g, wud the Peyssians in the neighborhood of Coblentz. We have many rumors of the Prussian military movements, but notbing authentic beyond the statement that the defensive line will be from Coblentzalong She Bhine esne. dispatches arc g 0 con. flicting that it is extremely unsafe to ‘place confidence in their authenticity.— ‘That which is sent over the wires to-day, is likely to bé flatly contradicted to morrow. Under these circumstances we do not deem it desirable 'to fill our columns with contradictory reports, but prefer to await the development of events, and lay the result before our readers. :

The telegrams from Europe indicate ‘that the war feeling is equally intense in the two hostile ' nations, but. as the dispatches from both. France and Prussia pass under the jstirveillanee of government censors, they must be taken with a grain of ‘allowance. Certainly the Orleanists and the ‘extreme radicals of France will not sustain Napoleon. On the other hand they would rejoice at s overthrow. The former are yet powerful, and constitute, in a great measure, the wealthy portion of the French population. The latter have shown no mean strength, in point of numbers, in the recent elections. The sentiment uttered in the Corps Leguslatif by M. Thiers, on the one hand, and Jules ‘Favre, on the other, are those of a numerous body of Frenchmen, and if the Emperor shonld at any :me meet with a reverse on ‘the field of battle, they will be openly professed in more than one place in the empire. Asfor the alleged unanimity of the Germans, it is quite true that there . ig n general feeling of hostility to Fiance throughout the States of Germany, Bavaria, Wurtemburg, and Baden are represented to have espoused the cause of Prussia, and there scems no. room for doubt that the entire peopleof the North German Confederation are thoroughly united in support of King William.— Anustria, Italy, Spain, Denmark, and Sweden remain neutial, though no one can tell how soen one or the other of these powers may be involved in the contest.— It is almost impossible that the neutrality of Belgium will. uot be.violated by one or both of the hostile powers, and indeed within her contines there may- yet be another field of Waterloo. Great Britain and Russia will endeavor to maintain a strict neutrality, but in the event of a de: cisive defeat of the Prussian army it is conjectured that both will take sides against the French. Such is the Europcan situation at present, but even as we write events may e transpiring which may change it utterly. o

: A PEACE RUMOR. The London Times, of July 25th, publishes a projected treaty, submitted by the French to the Prussian government, and guarantees its authenticity. The pre amble sets forth that the King of Prussia and the Emperor of che French, ia order to strengthen the ties of friendship between the two governments and people, etc., hereby conclude the subjoined treaty: In the first article, Napoleon admits and recognizes the laté acquisitions of Prussia from Austria. In the second, the Prussian King engages to facilitate the French acquisition of Luxemburg. In the third, the Emperor acquiesces in the union of the North and South German States, Austria excepted. In the fourth, France finding it necessary to absorb Belgium, Prussia lends her assistance to that measure.— The fifth article is the usual one of offensive and defensive alliances between the two nations. : S Later.—The secret treaty which’ was projected between France and Prussia monopolizes the attention of the English press and parliameat. ::Inte?se indigna tion is manifested at the duplicity of the powers concerned, and the action of Na- I poleon is considered insulting to England. Complete ignorance of the negotiation is professed at the French Embassy in, Lon- | don. i e —— - — | Suiecide of the Freneh Minister. % At an early hour on Wednesday morn- | ing of last week, M.

¥ 71 'NOTES AND COMMENTS. ‘ " George Alfred Townsend writes: “There is no friend to a journalist like an enemy. The meaner the attack, the more inscratably it comes to bemefit. William Cobbett once said : ‘Every mean enemy brings me a new thought, two new friends and five new subscribers’” George's head wlewel ; : .. This is the view which the New York Star, the ‘workingmen’s organ, takes of Boutwell’s financial policy : “Boutwell gits securely at Wasbin{ton, squeezing the heart’s bloed out of the workingmen, ‘and once a month he exhibits with glee fthe barber’s basin into which he has received it, exclaiming triumphantly, “See how they bleed?” il _ A southern newspaper says Mr. Grant’s new Attorney-General possesses at least one merit—*“that of having been a Confederate soldier.” = Wonder whether that “one merit” was the cause of Mr. Ackerman’s sudden emergence from obscurity ? It is believed that very many of the ad--venturous German spirits who bore a part in our war will return and fight for the Fatherland. The New York Journal, a German paper, asserts that there are ful1y 100,000 Germans in this: country who would cross the sea to take a hand in the fight, provided facilities were furnished them for so doing. The fondness developed for military life among our American young men during the war will, it is believed, lead many of them to seek service in one or other of the armies. } Among our entire list of rural exchang-, es we have yet to find a solitary paper, either democratic or republican, that sustains France in its unjustifiable war upon Prussia. This reflects great credit upon the fairness of the country' press, and places them far in advance of the few mercenary sheets in larger cities that misrepresent the points at issue in their anxiety to create a little sympathy for the tyrant N'apoleon. : |

‘The Chicago Times, with characteristic meanness, denounces everybody that refuses to sanction the unmeasured arrogance of Napoleon. A portion of the English press having gpoken kindly of the dignified position of Prussia, the 7/mes thus bespatters the English people : Poor England: It will be really too bad if it must be forced into this conflict. Its soldiers got a taste of French gallantry in the Crimea, and they do not like “it. ' It wasa pretty, albeit a humiliating, thing to look at; but it is not the kind of fltxzing. you know, which a Britisher would like to encounter. . The perpetration of such a blunder is not very creditable to' a paper of the Times' pretensions, whose editors certainly ought to know that in the Crimean war England and France were allies ! And still they come! The Otwell (Pike county, Ind.,) Herald, heretofore a neutral paper, now espouses the cause of the Democracy. Radical party, thy days are numbered ! - THE course of the Chicago Times in denouncing the Germans for expressing sympathy for Prussia i$ simply outrageous.

| THE POPULAR FEELING. s Since the commencement of the present troubles between Prussia acd France, great excitement has prevailed through‘out the country, and the most intense interest has been manifested by the adopted citizens of our country residing in the larger cities. In all of the larger places, the pnpnglar sen‘iment has culminated in public ‘meetings snd demonstrations, while discussions in public places throughout the land, of the wrongs and prowess of cach nation at war, are the order of the day. : f ‘The New York World one day last ‘week dispatched its reporters to various restaurants and cafés to ascertain the sentiments of those who congregated there to discuss the European *“situation.”. From the repores furnished by these enterprisJing news-gatherers, we make several extracts —commencing with the views of a Frenchman who replied as follows to an inquiry by the reporter if he supposed that France would have any allies in the contest already commenced : Frenchman—France has been preparing for this war ever since Sadowa. Her army is thoroughly organized and armed with the Chassepot, but she has not entered into this fight without knowing that she can count on aid outside ot her boundarics, The Netherlands must be drsgged into the fight whether they will or not, for the Low Countries are the -natural battle ground of Europe. Now, both Belgium and Holland are in daily fear of Leing swallowed up by Prussia, who is ceager to obtain more coast line. Prussia is therefore " the enemy whom they most féar ‘and - distrust. You will find that both the Low Countries will side with France, in the hope that Prussia will be so crippled by defeat as to render her no lorger dangerous, Denmark, too, is burning to: revenge her defeat and to regain the duchies which Prussia robbed from her. She can be counted as a sure ally of Napoleon.. Then there is Austria, who wants to revenge Sadowa and regain her place i’ Germany. "All thesenations will sympathize with France, and all, except Austria; will certainly fight by her side. If Austria join her forces to those of Napoleon,; as I believe she will, what can Prussiado? She will stand alone against Europe. Reporter—But what will ‘the French Liberals say to the war? Will they not seize the opportunity to show their hatred to the Emperor ? 3 ; F. — No, sir; a thousand times, no. — Look you; I am a Republican; I fought by the side of Caussidiere at the barri. cades in June, and I helped build and defend the first barricade raised against Napoleon in '5l. T have been an exile here for nineteen years, and I have found no. man who bhated Napoleon or loved the: demccratic republic more than myself.— But, sir, to-night I am a Napoleonist.— How can I talk of political creeds when the German may be already marching to wards our frontier. ' I tell you that every man, woman, and child in France will' stand by the Empe:or in this fight. We have good reasons to hate the Prussians; and if Napoleon will lead the way agairst them, all France will follow him.

At this point an excited Frenchman leaped upon a table and commenced a wild Larangu¢ in’which the glory of France and the baseness of Prussia form¢d the chief topic. The reporter listened until the company broke into the “Marscillaise,” when he departed, and sought the Teutonic shades of the Atlantic Garden.

Singling out as his prey an intelligent looking ' German, and first ascertaining that he was a Prussian, and not a Hanoverian irreconcilable, the reporter proceeded to interview him as a representative of the Prussian element in our population. : ;

. Reporter—What is the general feeling among the G‘f’:émans here as to the war. German— Well, some of us don’t like it very much ; especially the Austrians, but the North Germans are all united and all in favor of Prussia. : P 'R.—How about the armies? Can Prussig put more men in the field than France?

~ G.—Cer!ainly she can.. Now just you look at this (and he drew a paper and pencil from his pocket, and began a series of arithmetical calculations.) France, if she calls out her last reserves—and she will have to do that within the next six weeks—can put only about 1,300,000 men in the field. Very well; now Prussia, when she has called out all her leserves, ’wil&ave over 2,000,000 men. Then there is Spain, whom you Americans forget, but we Germans do not, for our Great Emperor, Charles V., thought his Spanish infantry the best in Europe. Spain has an army of 150,000 men under arms. She ‘could easily increase this to 300,000, and don’t you think that, with suzh a force, Prim could hold the passes of the Pyrennes against such troops as France conld 'spare from the Rhine? Now, add them up and you will see that Prussia and ‘Spain can count_ just 1,000,000, more sol'diers than France. ' ‘A million of men, my young friend, are not to be despised. R.—But won't France have Belgium, and Holland, and Denmark, and Austria withher? *

G.—No, sir ; Austria will never fight against Germany in order to- help: the French invaders,. We Germans may fight among ourselves, but we forget all that when ' the Fatherland is in danger.” As for Belgium and Holland, what do we care for them ? ' Who ever heard of Belfian soldiers, except when they ran away rom Quatre Bras? The Danes can fight, but there are not many of them. A single army corps can:shuf them up in their peninsula. did ? ; R.—You must admit that the French fleet is superior to yours. ~ G.'-—-OfPe course it is, but what of that? Wee shall not try to fight them on the sea, .and.the only use they can make of their fleet” will be to cover the landing of an army on the North Sea coast, or the Baltic.. Well, we would just as soon fight them there as on the Rhine border.” I forgot when we were -counting up the armies, to mention Italy. The Italisns hate the.

These uhlanen, or lancers, are also considered light cavalry, and are armed, besides their lances, with swords and revolvers, Both the hussars and lancers are used whenever rapid movements are to be executed, such as for reconnoitering, surprises, foraging, and particularly after a battle for the capturing and killing of the demoralized and fleeing enemy. The uhlans and hussars are tavorite branches of the military service for the wildest and most ‘‘dare-devil”’ young men. The officers and privates wear brilliant uniforms, and altogether make the most dashing appearance in an army. —World. Lk e — - E——— — The War on the Rhine. COBLENTZ, July 25.—At 4 o’¢lock on Sunday morning, a force of 300 Prussians crossed the line near Saarguemines, 40 miles from Metz. After eneountering small scattered parties of French chasseurs, the Prussians took up a position and sent out a‘flying detachment along the railway uniting Strasburg and Starouck, which tore up the rails, blew up the viaduct, and did considerable other damage. Tlre prussian force then returned to Saarguemines. : Subsequently a company of Prussians, the 17th regiment of the line, captured the French custom house at Schrecklingen. The officers of the custom house made a stout resistance, and were all either killed or captured. One Prussian efficer was’ slightly wounded. : Deserters from the French army are very numerous, They are continually coming into the Prussian lines. ee — : ] Drugglst}d Labels. By writing prescriptions in. Latin, physicians have been the unintentional canse of many serious blunders on the part of drug clerks. - But it is not alone that mistakes arize. How frequently do illiterate servants lay hold of the wrong bottle and administer a fatal dose to themselves or thevhe?'pless charges. Some druggists write merely the name of the poisonous contents on the vials that they sell. - Others. more careful, add the word poison ;- ‘but ‘what good will either do in the case of a servant girl who cannot read? Many German druggists®adhering to a custom that is prevalent in Germany, make use of labels bearing large skulls and cross bones, printed in staring colors, to prevent the misapplication of poisonous compounds. The hand of.a Kaffir or an Ethiopion savage would be arrested by such a warning as this. Why should not all druggists adopt so excellent a custom? - . :
