From the Indianapolis Journal July

Looking along the dry bed of this horrible stream, we find, at the very head, the following extract from an address delivered to the literary societies of the University of-Virginia, on the 4th day of July, 1800, by Daniel \V. Voorhees, instructing the collegians to resist the "encroachments of Abolitionism "We can do all this, and Ave can hope that our labors Avill bring forth the fruits of peace, lint if the evil hour must come, if patriotism is to bo humiliated and treason exalted,if the schemes of the seditious citizens are to triumph, aiul civil strife and commotion are to cover this fair landmen mm/ .some Brutus avenge the cause of liberty in the Capitol and may the authors oi our ruin bo the lirst to sup full of its horrors!"

This was the first suggestion ever made, so far as we can learn, that if Mr. Lincoln were elected he should be murdered. It was about as early as such a suggestion could be made, for it was uttered on the -1th of July, 1WG0, and Mr. Lincoln was only nominated on the ISth of-May, 1SG0. Allowing that Mr. Voorhees gave two weeks of time, interrupted by professional duties, to the preparation of his address, the thought of advising the murder must have occurred to him within three weeks after the Chicago Convention. At all events, whatever may have been in the minds ftf other men, to Mr. Voorhees belongs the infamy of being the first to speak it out, and to speak it in an address directed especially to the political situation of the time and its possible consequences. Booth may have heard that address. Unquestionably he heard of it, for it was printed and distributed through the South, and contributed, so far as the muddy intellect of a viciously feeble man could, to produce the rebellion. That this bloody hint was not a groan of Democratic eloquence in a spasm of undigested classics, but a

Voorhees the Apostle of Assassination. The revelation, or rather the repetition of what once was ail astounding revelation, made by Mr. Pomeroy in the New York Democrat, which we partially republished yesterday, contains the declaration that Mr. Lincoln was not the victim of misdirected patriotism, and liis assassin is not "entitled to wear the halo of a Brutus." Mr. Pomeroy is not likely to change a conviction of ten years' growth by such evidence as can lie collected now. And it is difficult for us to conceive of any evidence, attained at any time, to balance Booth's own melo-dramatic avowal of his motive, when he flourished his dagger, and mouthed "sic semper tyrannis." That some incentive starting from individual feeling may have strengthened the wider impulse is probable, but that without the distorted sentiment of patriotism, of self-immolation on the altar of country, Booth would ever have dreamed of killing, Mr. Lincoln is impossible of credit. The tact that he was but one of hundreds possessed by the same ambition, that Mr. Lincoln's murderer was no unfamiliar topic of speculation. North as well as South, among the more ardent of the Democracy, is a strong presumption for the conclusion that lie only did what others wanted to do, or, more discreetly, wanted done. When we see a stick floating with the current, just as fast as the current, and .just in the direction of the current, It is hard to believe that it is not the current that carries it. Accepting the universal and irresistible opinion that Booth murdered Mr. Lincoln from political impulses, it becomes a not uninteresting inquiry, where those impulses took their bloody direction If Booth had been alone in his feelings as he was in his act, this inquiry would be as far beyond conjecture "as the song the syrens sang, or the name Achilles took when hid among the women." But as he was the exponent, only, of a feeling unhappily too wide, we'may trace it to its source through other channels.

Avell

matured seed dropped where it was thought the soil would suit it, is proved by the fact that a Northern edition of the address wax printed, from which this passage was excluded. If it

Avas

mere

ly one of Daniel's customary contortions ill a fit of rhetorical cliolie, there was nothing to merit excision. It was not in worse taste than his comparison of a cloud to a leprosy. It

Avas

silly to be

sure, but not half so silly as the "mildew that smote a man's life in order to enable him to hurl a poisoned javelin." It Avas, in fact, rather a venal transgression for so fierce a marauder in the fields of metaphor as the l'uzzy-headed champions of unspotted Democracy. It was struck out, therefore, for no ollt'nce of taste. It was that his cruel advice might not return "to plague him" in his contest for Congress. He knew tlKit however safe and popular it might be to advocate assassination in Sullivan county, where it afterwards proved safe to practice on enrolling officers, it Avould not be so beneficial in Vigo and Greene and Parke and Putnam. So the home edition of his address said nothing of the honor as Avell as prudence of murdering Mr. Lincoln. That was left for Southern appropriation. And to what purpose the shot at Grover's Theater tells. To Daniel W. Voorhees belongs the credit of being the first man to advi.se and suggest the murder of Mr. Lincoln, so far as any public record discloses. And he had the audacity to stand up in the House of Representatives last Avinter and claim that he was a "loyal man," and that he was recognized as a loyal man at home, in the district where his teachings had made a caldron of local riots, outrages and seditious disturbances. He "loyal," who promised his rebel uncle the help of a hundred thousand Democrats! He "loyal" who met rebel agents in Canada and

Avas

consult

ed by dealers in rebel arms! He "loyal," who was the bosom friend of the Grand Commander of a society of assassins, the Sons of Liberty! His loyalty was fragrant then, but it was no richer than his impudence now.

Crop^rospects in Indiana. For several Aveeks past the produce markets of the United States have been agitated by the prospect of a large foreign demand for American breadstuff's, and prices have materially adAranced. The movement of the reserve of the old crop at the West has thus been stimulated and an estimate of the

neAVcrop

The crop prospects in Europe are alAvays carefully studied in this country. With a large export demand for grain and the steady market for our cotton which is ahvays to be relied upon, Ave may, probably calculate upon a balance of trade in our favor during the next twelve months, and a consequent depreciation in the premium on gold in our markets. Careful estimates of the cotton crcp noAV maturing, put the probable yi^ld at four millions of bales, a large increase oArer last year. With an equally good crop of breadstuff's, both the North and the South Avill have abundant resources in the markets of the world to meet all the requirements of our import trade and leave an excellent balance in our favor.—New York Tribune.

The Late Lord Clarendon's Habits. Many years ago, while holding, a different cabinet, the same office Avhich he held at the time of his death, Lord Clarendon gave to an American acquaintance an account of his habits, tending to show that he had voluntarily relinquished the claim to longevity which prescription Avould have enabled him to prefer. Pie rose ordinarily at noon, gave two hours to his •bath, his breakfast, and the neAvspapers, then received deputations till four o'clock, when he Avent doAvn to the House. Like most of the other members in steady attendance, he dined at Bellamy's, usually about ten, Avlien the thinning benches gaAre notice to orators of more ambition than distinction that their opportunity has come. On ordinary occasions the House rose at midnight, and it Avas then that the Foreign Secretary began the chief business of the day—the preparation of his dispatches. He Avrote throughout the night, smoking gently but steadily the while, and seldom retiring to bed before six. In answer to the question whether he thought this mode of life Avell suited to the maintainance of his powers in their full vigor, he remarked that it would probably shorten his days, but that it Avas the one which alloAved him to accomplish the greatest amount of labor of Avhich he Avas capable in the 24 hours.— LippincotVs Magazine.

Duration of Late European Wars. In the Crimean Avar of 1853-6, Turkey declared war against Russia October 5, 1853. Russia declared Avar against Turkey, November I.

Gen. Donah, while on his way to the seat of Avar, died suddenly of apoplexy. PARIS, July 22.—The Emperor is ill at St. Cloud, and will not, therefore, join the army for some days.

The following details of the affair at Forbach, which has been variously reported as a battle and a skirmish, are published here:

Two regiments of French liuzzars and a body of Urlaner German troops, commonly armed with lances, met on the frontier. The French immediately made preparations to receive an attack,

At length one of the Urlaners came fonvard and the French alloAved him to approach, regarding him as a deserter, or expecting a parley. On coming near, the Urlaner fired at the commander of the French, but missed his mark, and turned and fled, amid a shower of bullets.

The Moniteur, the ministerial organ, says it is not true that Spain has concluded an alliance with France. Spain will remain neutral.

PARIS, July 22.—The Journal Official publishes a circular of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, dated July 21, addressed to the diplomatic agents-at foreign capitals. The circular mentions the explanation made the 15th of July in Chambers, in regard to the rapid events of a negotiation, in wljich as fast as we redoubled our efforts to preserve peace, the secret designs were developed by an adversary resolved to render it impossible. Whether the Berlin Cabinet has judged war necessary for the accomplishment of their projects against the self-government of the German States, or hardly satisfied at having established in the center of Europe a military power formidable to all its neighbors, they had wished to turn to account the power already acquired by employing definitely to the advantage of Prussia, the international equilibrium. The premeditated intention to refuse us guarantees indispensible to our security as well as our honor, showed itself by the strongest evidence in their conduct of negotiations.

The circular then mentions the can-

didature of Prince Hohenzollern, and declare the Berlin Cabinet had hoped to place the Prince On the throne of Charles the Fifth by surprise, believing that Europe would accept it as an established fact, and that France, in spite of her temporary displeasure Avould hesitate to oppose the express Avill of the Spanish peo pie Avho were friendly to her.

The French Government, informed of danger from this intrigue, did not hesitate to denounce it to the representatives of the people and to the foreign powers. All haA-e felt that Prussia was alone in her unscrupulous policy, aad that, knoAVing herself to be without support in common right, she has, nevertheless,sought to impose upon Europe the farther abuse of so dangerous an extension of her in fluence, that France took up the cause of the balance .of power, knoAving it to be the cause of all people menaced like herself by the disproportionate aggrandizement of the royal house. In doing so she has not placed herself in opposition to her oAvn maxims and policy of those of the Great PoAvers.

The circular cites as proof, the cases of Belgium, Greece and Naples, and the refusal of the Great Powers to allow any of their princes to mount those thrones.

The circular then mentions the AvithdraAval of the Prince Hohenzollern, the refusal of Prussia to give guarantees and other incidents Avhich have folIoAved, adding that France ought to demand guarantees, since Prussia had again given her Avord that the Prince Hohenzollern should not mount the throne of Spain when, in March, 1869, there had been a question of his candidature. At that time the French Minister at Berlin told the King that no Prussian could reign in Spain. Count Bismark replied that France need not concern herself at a contingency so improbable, and Herr Von Thule, Prussian Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs, gave his Avord of honor that a Hohenzollern Avas not and could not be a candidate.

If assurances thus solemn can not be relied upon diplomatic intercouse must cease. In repudiating such pledges, Prussia challenges France who noAV only demands in vieAV of previous tergiversations, that the former renunciation of her design be made real and permanent.

The circular concludes by declaring that history must assign to Prussia the responsibility for a war Avhich she had no means of aAToiding, and Avliich, Avliile she affects to deplore it, she has rather sought it, and under what circumstances has she done this? It is Avhen France for four years past has refrained, with an almost exaggerated scrupulousness, from inA oking against her treaties concluded under the mediation of the Emperor, but to which she has failed to giA*e a voluntary support. Of all the acts of this government, Avliich has only thought of the means of freeing herself from the obligations of treaties even Avhile signing them, Europe has been a Avitness. Let Europe pronouncc upon the justness cause, of the

The General council of the Bank of France, by advice of the Governor, hav-e voted to give 100,000 francs to the Sanitary society, and resolved to continue the salaries of all employes called into military service, whether in the army, the reserve or Garde Mobile.

Vessels haAre been sent to NeAvfoundland to notify the French fishermen of the declaration of Avar.

The Journal Official reprints from the Journal de France a serious accusation against Count Bray, the Bavarian Minister. He is charged Avith misleading the Bavarian Chambers by announcing that the French troops had invaded Bavaria, and it is alleged that by this falsehood he succeeded in forcing the Chambers to vote the required subsidies.

The municipal elections in France will be held in August. The evening journals report seA^eral skirmishes yesterday between the adATanee guards along the frontier, but giA-e no details. It is extremely difficult to obtain intelligence from the seat of war, as correspondents are strictly forbidden from approaching the army lines. The authorities of Strasbourg no longer permit strangers to ascend the steeple of the Cathedral, because the movements of troops on both sides can be seen from that point.

The number of volunteers enlisted for the Avar is ninety-seven thousand. Many ladies offer their services for the Avounded while in the service. They will Avear costumes similar to those of Sisters of Charity.

It was reported to-day on good authority that General Prim lately met Prince Leopold, of Hohenzollern, on the FranccSpanish frontier.

The Emperor came to Paris to-day, and received the Corps Legislatif at the Tuilleries. President Schneider, in the name of the Corps Legislatif, addressed the Emperor as folloAvs:

Sire—The Corps Legislatif has terminated its labors. It has unanimously ly voted all subsidies and all laAvs needed for the national defense, thus giving a signal proof of its patriotism.

If it is true that not he who declares Avar, but he who causes it, is the real au-

thor, there

Avill

be but one voice among

the nations to lay the responsibility upon Prussia, Avho, maddened by unhoped for success, and encouraged by our patience and desire to preserve for Europe the benefit of peace, has conspired against our security and attacked our honor. In such a case France knoAVS her duty.

Ardent hopes folloAV you to the army which, accompanied by your son, you take command of. Behind you, behind our army, so accustomed to caryy high the standard of France, is the nation. We remit without uneasiness the regency to your august spouse. She Avill unite Avith the authority. Her great qualties insure the force given by the liberal institutions inaugurated by you. The heart of the nation is Avith you and the army.

The Emperor replied as follows: Messieurs I experience great satisfaction, on the eve of my departure for the army, in being able to thank you for the patriotic co-operation you liavegiA'en my GoArerament. War is legitimate when it is made with the assent of the country and the approbation of its representatives. You are right in recalling the words of Montesquieathe. The true| author of a war is not he who declares, but he who renders it necessary. We have done all that depended on us to avoid it, and I may say that the entire nation in irresistible force has dictated our resolutions. I confide to you in fostering the Empress, Avho will call you around her Should circumstances require. She knows

fill, courageously, the duty which the position imposes. I take Avith me my son. He will learn in the midst of the army hoAV to serve his country, resolved to pursue Avith energy the great mission confided to me.
