Monopolies,

Are, and always have proven, a curse wherever they have been established, in whatever direction they may extend, and they always operate against the interest of the masses of the people. This is a

fact that cannot-be controverted. Bodies having the power to grant special privileges to incorporated companies ought always to guard well the interests of the people they represent. In some cities charters to construct street railroads have been granted companies, with the exclusive right for almost a half century, to operate such roads, to the exclusion of all others who would be glad to inaugurate alike improvement and so it has been with gas companies, and with other organizations we might name. But the day of great monopolies is about at an end. Years ago, there was no competition in the express business, and one company controlled all that branch of transportation in the West, and to a a great extent in the East and South. The people became dissatisfied, in being placed in the hands, and at the mercy of a powerful monopoly, and at once began clamoring for competition, and now there is a fair competition in that business almost all over the land. It is a fact that the people are heartily opposed to monopolies in this country, and want, and will have fair competition in all branches of trade or other business, and it is right. It is an old and trite saying that "competition is the life of trade," and it is a truth that the masses recognize.

But of all the monopolies known to this.country, that of the Telegraph has perhaps added more to the inconvenience of business men, and to men of all classes than any other. The rates have been so high, that many men doing a moderate business, have been excluded almost entirely from the use of the wires, and have lost the advantages to be gained thereby, to the great disadvantage of their business. But, even that great monopoly will have its day, and the time will soon come when, all over the United States there will be fair competition in that branch of business as will be seen by the following tables of "former rates," and "present rates," of Telegraphing, which have been brought about by the establishing of the "Pacific and Atlantic Telegraph" wire. We call the attention of our business men to this table:

PACIFIC AND ATLANTIC TELKGKAI'H COMPANY. Former Present Rates. Rate?. Allegheny City, Fa §1 W $ Baltimore, Mil 2 05 50 Boston, Mass 2 75

The Popk's proclamation ol" infallibility has thus far made an impression which is in truth a curious commentary on the dogma. In *a word, everybody laughs at it. Harper's Weekly presents a pictorial view of the situation which exactly represents the papular feeling. "The Pope is seated across the branch of a tree, which stands for the nineteenth century. He is complacently engaged in sawing oiT the branch from the trunk so that he may have the satisfaction of tumbling back into the horrors of the dark Ages. We have already heard that the promulgation of the dogma is ridiculed in Spain. We now learn that H.

Martin has written along article in the Steele to prove that it is the duty of France to break with Rome, on the ground that the pretensions of the Pope are fatal to the* liberties of the Gallican Church. This is not encouraging for the supporters of the Holy Father. Perhaps before the war is over it will be quite un necessary for France to "break with Rome."

The

cuikat

difficulty of obtaining re

liable news at the present in regard to the war in Europe, appears to be insuperable, but Dana of the New York Sun has engaged Russell as a special telegraphic correspondent from the seat of war, and the information furnished by him, it is hoped will be reliable. It almost useless to attempt to construct a plan of operations from the contradictory reports now arriving. Armies are evidently concentrating at Strasburg and Coblentz, on the Rhine, and in the neighborhood of one "or both of these places a battle seems to be imminent. It is probable that in the course of the nex^ twenty-four hours news of a most decisive kind may reach us. In the meantime, the English fleet appears to be in motion for the defense of Belgium—a point not yet threatened, and little likely to be attacked by France, considering the risks involved.

expect

in a short time to be able

lay before the readers of the Gazette a much fuller Telegraphic report than we are able to do at present. We are perfecting arrangements with that object in view at this time, and are confident that a much fuller report will be given in a short time than can be had, even by the Western Union press association.

It is r&commended in different [quarters that some of our fast frigates be employed by the .Government to cany U. S. mails to and from Europe, as while thus employed they could do duty as cruisers, while they were useful as common carriers. *r*£

From being able to use the telegraph at a small expense, the community can transact a greater bulk of business in less time, thereby augmenting their absolute gains, and as this company propose to put a line to this place in a short time, to compete with the "old monopoly," it will be well for our business men and all others interested to give the matter a iair and just consideration. Such a saving in rates as above indicated, is a matter of the greatest importance to our business men.

From the Chicago Evening Post, July 21.

The Generals.

When the rebellion broke -upon us, it found us with no recognized military leaders, save Scott, who was then nearly 80, and Wool, who was 71.

So, now, the European war comes, Napoleon is 62, and King William is 73. The three leading French officers, McMahon, Bazaine and Canrobert have all seen their sixtieth birthday. Three of the leading Prussian Generals, Moltke, Man-teu-ffel and Von Roon, are over 60, and Moltke, the most distinguished of them all, is over 70.

The war will be begun, aud the first campaigns conducted, by Gen. McMahon in behalf of France and Von Moltke in belialf of Prussia. Napoleon will |be the nominal commander of the French forces, and he will doubtless try to inspire the soldiers as "the little Corporal" did aforetime, and be Avilling to receive their vivas in return, and to gather to his imperial name the glory of every success. But McMahon, whose brilliant strategy in Italy made him Duke of Magenta, will be pretty certain to plan the first battles, and to direct the general disposition of the army on the field. He is the best General in France. He is not popular with the soldiers, who h/ive nicknamed him "Never Smile," because he wears a constant frown upon his face, and is severe and haughty to all he meets. He resembles Napoleon only in the matchless audacity which stormed the Malakoff and won Magenta—in a certain impetuosity and elan so thoroughly in harmony with the Frenchman's character And this seems not to result so much from a deliberate plan, as from the in spiration or impulse of the moment When the moment comes he recognizes it and strikes for victory where another General might be awed into fatal hesita tion. McMahon's ancestors were Irish and his Celtic temperament suits the Celts of France—for the Frenchman, as Mr. Raster puts it, is "only an Irishman varnished over."

Moltke will move the Prussian col umns, as McMahon the French. He was sixty years old before the world discov ered that he was one of the greatest of living generals, but his method of organ izing and directing the three armies that moved to the field of Sadowa is wholly unparalleled in military history. He planned the battle at his desk in Berlin carefully estimating distances and calcu lating the strength of the contending ar mies, corps and divisions engaged, and so accurately did he time his orders that the three armies united on the spot at the very moment described. Then standing near the King 011 the field, he personally superintended the movement of the troops. The plan was a daring one, and its success was as brilliant as its conception.

McMahon and Moltke will open the ball but, should the contest be prolonged, some younger men will doubtless supersede the veterans. Soldiers are born of war.

General Fremont.

Grace Greenwood writes to the Tribune: On a pleasant afternoon you may find yourself in a perfect gulf-stream of civic distinction and military renown, pouring out of the Capitol gates. You get used to these notabilities, and can imagine how to their wives and valets they may be but commonplace individuals. But somehow I have never got accustomed to meeting General Fremont. There is nothing commonplace about him. I never associate him with familiar localities and events, but with wild, distant scenes—with the magnificent possibilities of the past. In look, style, and manner, he always reminds me of a French nobleman, of the order of St. Germain. I have, it is true, met him only casually and as a stranger, but such is the improssion. Once, I remember, as with my daughter I was about to enter one of our little parks, I met him just coming out. He held the gate open for us, and bowed slightly to our acknowledgement of the slight courtesy but it was a bow to have thrown your ordinary fine gen tleman into despair. As we passed on, the young lady, a very young lady, ast ed eagerly, "Who was that gentleman, mamma?" and was answered, "That was General Fremont." "Oh, I knew," she said, "it wasn't any commonplace man, he had such a grave, graceful way with him."

I remember, too, my first sight of General Fremont. It was in Washington, twenty years ago. I had been calling, with a friend, on Col. Benton, and as Ave were about to take leave, and stood talking with our host in the hall, a gentleman came in at the outer door, passed us quickly with a courteous bow, and ascended the stairs as though in eager haste. It was a fine, spirited, symmetrical figure, and it sprang up those carpeted steps, two at a bound, with a certain, ex ultant, spurning energy, as though they had been the last rocky ledges of a mountain peak. From the landing a face was for a moment turned upon us—a face which struck my romantic fancy strongly then, and which I have never forgotten. It was singularly gentle and refined, and yet soldierly, and glowing with manly resolve. It had in it, I thought, a purpose and a destiny. Ah! baffled purpose ah! unaccomplished destiny! Colonel Benton remarked, perhaps, the interest with which the stranger was invested in my eyes, almost a new-world interest, and though there was 110 need of the information, said, with that mountainous pride of his, "My son-in-law, Colonel Fremont."

Again I remember to have seen him in Washington. It was, I think, in the early part of the third year of the war. He iooked not only an older, but a graver man. His rich dark hair was untimely silvered with care—"the winter of our discontent"—but his eye had not lost its brightness nor his smile its sweetness.

Whatever may be said and has been said of the military career of this muchloved and much-abused man, whatever disastrous mistakes he may have made in his judgment of character in trusting too generously his subordinates, and, perhaps in some instances, his superiors in building gunboats he was not allowed to use, in planning battles he was not allowed to fight, in having a little Hungary about him, in counselling with a brave wife, in carting his hair in the middle, it cannot )e denied that he originated the idea of carrying the war into Africa," that Mr. Lincoln's proclamation of January 1, 1863, was his thunder confiscated and let loose that he was, in fact, John the Baptist of Emancipation, who rashly cried in the wilderness, "Prepare ye the way of the Lordl," before our statesmen were quite ready for divine intervention.

Sickness.—Sickness takesus aside and sets us alone with God. We are taken into his private chamber, and there he converses with us face to face. The world is afar off, our relish for it is gone, and we are alone with God. Many are the words of grace and truth which he then speaks to us. All our former props are struck away, and now we must lean on God alone. The things of earth are felt to be vanity man's help useless. Man's sympathy deserts us we aiecast wholly upon God, that we may learn that his pretense and his sympathy are enough. "If it was not for pain," says one, "I should spend less time with God. If I had not been kept awake with pain, I should have lost one of the sweetest experiences I ever had in my life. The disorder of my body is the very help I want from God if it does its work before it lays me in the dust, it will raise me up to heaven."
