FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1S70.

The struggle for the supremacy in Europe, has in our judgement hardly commenced between those two great nations of trreat people. All Europe will be involved in the contest before it is over. It cannot be otherwise. The balance of power must be preserved, and Europe will not quietly see William become King of Germany. Among all thepowers of continental Europe during the last decade, France has stood pre-eminent. Her people areas intellectual, as progressive, and as industrious as any. Her armies achieved voctories wherever they marched. She was a power which stood out, bold and prominent among the nations of the world. None surpassed her and her prosperity was surpassed by none.

If Prussia can marshal strength enough to cripple and defeat this great people, and thereby make herself the first government in Europe, will the other great governments on the Continent, permit it to be done? This will shortly be the absorbing question. Will the great Northern Bear remain silent, and see the German race become the dominant power on the Continent We doubt it. It is not to the interest of Russia that this should be done. Prussia having overrun France, and being strong enough to do it, possesses power sufficiently commanding to dictate terms to the rest of Europe. In order, therefore, that this shall not be the condition of things, other neighboring powers will interfere and prevent it.

In the llood tide of success which now seems to follow the arms of the Prussian King, he will not submit to any interference, and before this war Is ended, Europe will be in arms.

Through the thick smoke of the battle scenes, we can discern no permanent good to the people. Over the dead bodies of slaughtered thousands, King Wil liam may mount on a higher throne. Feeling his way among the dead and dying, the Emperor of the French may fly, a fugitive from his capital, and a wanderer the remainder of his life. But how is this to advance the happiness and prosperity of the people of either nation' More power in the hands of the Prussian King will make him a greater despot. The dethronement of Napoleon will only, in all probability, place a worse man over the people of France. Oh for the time, when the people will feel themselves superior to any King or potentate, and will themselves dictate when wars shall be commenced, and when end. When the great mass of humanity who people the world, shall be capable of governing themselves, and Kings and Emperors shall be made only by them, and by them unmade.

TiiEr.E are men who creep into Congress and remain to ere for years without ever being known or heard of even by* the Speaner himself.—Louisville Courier-Journal.

There is a radical candidate for Congress in this district who expects to play that same trick !—Journal.

And there is a Democratic Congress man in this District who, "had he never been heard even by the Speaker,' would have had more reputation, and filled a more respectable place in Con gressional history. Some men are heard too much in Congress. All that there is of them, is what is heard. They do nothing, but are heard rnuoh. They are all "sound and fury, signifying nothing.' A Representative in Congress had much better «ay nothing, than when he speaks to be continually on the wrong side These "sayers" of many things, and "doers" of nothing, area very bad class of Congressmen. Gas is not half as great a power for good on the part of a Representative, as genuine brains.

Wo would feel under obligations to the organ of Mr. Voorhees, if it would point out some measure of his, which originated in his brain and was advocated by him, and became the law of the country, and had the least tendency to advance the general welfare. We would be delighted to know what he has done, during his eight years of serving this people. What he has said everybody knows. He has said everything, about everything, and against everything. We do not want to know what he has said, for that amounts to nothing. Please tell us what he has done. Acts speak louder than words. Deeds and not bombast. What has Mr. Voorhees done, Mr. Edmunds?

THE New York Times, which was the only prominent Republican paper in the United States that leaned to the Bona-

Earte

side of the Franco-German contest, as changed its position, and now supports the Gorman cause. It says: "The cause of Prussia had become merged in the larger and juster cause of a united Germany the dynastic ambition of Napoleon became subordinate to the ill-regulated aggressiveness of a united France. Instead of a struggle between Emperor and King,,we were called upon to witness the battle of two noationalities, the representatives, respectively, of opposite and irreconciliable ideas, and embodying types of diverse national character. As between William, Bismark.and Napoleon, Americans might have hesitated to bestow then- sympathy. But as be tween a people devoted to plodding industry, thrifty, intelligent, earnest and wise in their aspirations after libertv seeking no further territorial accrandi™' ment, but simply the quiet consolidation of minor states with the selfishness of petty Sovereigns had kept divided—and a people destitute of ideas of practical freedom .with no national purpose but the glory of France/incapable of the self-con-trol which is at the root of popular government, and dazzled by the tinsel of an empire resting upon treachery and prolonged by fraud—it was impossible long to pause. The great body of the American people Comprehended the situation at a glance, and gave their sympathy to the Genxi&n cause. 4J

The Situation. -.••'•*

The situation of the combatants in Europe is rather misty. That there has been much severe fighting and mutual reserves, there can be no doubt. The French are stubbornly falling back to Paris, and the Germans as eagerly pressing them. There seems to be no want of military skill and strategic ability on either side. The King of Prussia and the commanders of the French forces appear equally experienced Generals. To sum up the whole situation, we can only say, that the French have been driven before the Prussians, but the Prussians have lost the most in killed and wounded. The French have repeatedly lost their camp, but it cost the Prussians more than it was wortlr, when they got possession of it.

EUROPEAN CORRESPONDENCE.

84 JERMYB, STREET, London, July 30,1870.

Dear Husbarvd: Saturday afternoon, at five o'clock, finds me with a half an hour's leisure to devote to you before making my toilet for the Opera, where we shall hear the divine strains of Madamoiselle Neilson's voice—said to be the sweetest in the world.

First of all, I must acknowledge your last letter, written on the 16th, and received and read this afternoon. Could you see our eager grasp when the General gives us these beloved messengers from home, you would feel fully repaid for the trouble of writing. We have a charming Miss in our party from Lafayette, Ind., who expects to join her aunt in Paris this week and proceed thence to Switzerland or Italy, where her education is to bo specially cared for. We shall feel hej loss, for she is a sunbeam among us. Speaking of letters, led me to think of the sweet moist eyes of this girl of sixteen, when a word from home reaches her.

You write- about the war, and I am glad to know your views. Now that our bright anticipations have departed, this thing came upon us like lightning from a blue sky, for our hours were gliding by too full of pleasure to last but I wont complain when we have been so truly blessed as to be able to say that the past month's experience is worth the small ills of a trip across the Atlantic, If it should be my misfortune to return without having seen beautiful Germany and Switzerland, still I shall be full of pleasant memories, and by no means sorry I came.

Every Saturday night, we look back upon a week laden with enjoyment. We are the merriest group of friends and the most perfect harmony exists among us. One large boudoir on the second floor adjoining the Love's suite of rooms, is where we assemble and where we eat (privately). There we chat and laugh the little time we have to pass in doors.

Night before last we went to see the Cremone Gardens, far-famed for their resplendent beauty, but notorious also for their evil influence. It would be impossible to tell you how brilliant the scene is and how infatuating. Hundreds and thousands of lights flash through crystal ornaments upon, sparkling fountains, and myriads of statues gleam out from the soft shadows. Fairy grottoes and winding walks. Beds of fragrant flowers look out of the greenest grass. The music so entrancing as to bewilder the senses into any imprudence, floats among the treees. But of what a trap for the innocent what a temptation to the weak. The demi monde are there so-like angels, as to deceive the very beings they represent. Young men are there learning their first steps in the dance of crime. I looked down upon these radiant perfumed flowers growing there and wondered how they dared to grow and shed such holiness in that pestilence. And I harkened to those tinkling fountains and felt the cool spray on my cheek, surprised that it did not burn me in that serpent Eden and then I turned and gazed in the faces, the young faces, the besmeared faces, the yellow-heads and saw them dancing, eoqueting, and trying to smile there under the blazing lights.

We passed tlie whole of yesterday at the Zoological Gardens, and I never wished for you more. You are so fond of studying the habits of animals, and see the different species you would have enjoyed the sight, yesterday, more than any of us. This is said to be the largest collection in the world. It is very wonderful how many conveniences have been invented here for the accommodation and safety of these creatures. The garden itself is perfectly beautiful and the animals, even the most savage ones, as tame as kittens. As an instance, we were looking at a huge Hippotamus as large as the largest elephant, lying in an immense pool of water asleep, his nose only sticking out. After awhile the General went to his keeper who sat near us and said, could'nt you awake him so that we could see bim (at the same moment slipping a sixpence in his handThe keeper said in an ordering tone) "Well boys ain't you ready for your dinner? Their big eyes opened and looked at the man, the back began to show itself above the. water, and soon the great monstrous ^bodies of two come close to the railing, opened wide their mouths, which showed a cavity like a bushel basket, into which a man stufFed a quantity of hay.

There are the strangest looking things conceivable things with four eyes and two heads, horns in odd places. But the feathered tribe is the most interesting of all. There are birds whose melody and plumage make you think of Paradise. Oh, how I do wish you and the others were here with me to share these keen enjoyments! Now I must stop for the opera primping. 1:30, A. M.—Ere one ray of the splendor of that brilliant spectacle fades from my memory, I will consecrate to this sheet, itsj impression upon me. This has been a gala night, for it is Neilson's last appearance before going to America. Drury Lane, the oldest theatre in London, is thescene of her triumph to-night. The edifice was crowded with the aristocracy of London, and such enthusiasm cannot well be conceived. The singer is only about eighteen, very pretty, exceedingly graceful, a beautiful actress, but oh her music. Her music, sometimes like the spiritual charm of the flute, then the birds trilling sweetness. Again the violins tender richness. Why I thought I should jump out of the box, I had to go back out of sight of the audience and give vent to

delight. She is an an

gel. The audience screamed and sometimes I really feared they would break and rush to the stage, I never saw anything like it. We were just crazed with the heavenly extatic sweetness.

Oh, what a treat we have next winter when she sings in N^w York! Her history is a very interesting one. A poor, barefooted girl singing in the streets of Sweden, picked up by some musician who is attracted by her voice, and taught! She is one of a large family of very plebian origin, but now she is the Queen of Song, young, talented, beautiful, the support of dependent relations, and the joy of the world. She was covered with flowers they threw them to her in showers. They piled her with garlands, and crowned her with laurels. The sweet young darling turned pale with emotion, and almost sank under such a storm of enthusiasm. Then she stood erect and finished the evening with that glorious

Id English hymn, "Godsave the Queen." y-wh. how ^beautiful she was! And

qIi,

how beautiful she was! And J.OW those words rang out in clear, ull, rapturous, inspired melody, no natural tongue can tell. The whole scene beggars description. We were nearly crushed in the crowd, getting out. I was quite amused in listening to the policemen's cries, as wo were detained in the vestibule. Loudly—as the powdered wigs and scarlet coats would drive off and stop—one at a time. Loudly—Lord Duke of Nickelty Brine Spool. Off the Lord drives. Another fierce yell—Baron Von Spokentenvontest. Off he goes. A yellow coat and drabjiat band, with big coat of arms, nex t. A monstrous screech —Earl So-and-so. Then up comes yellow coach out-riders, praneing steeds and flashing crest. Prince somebody is announced in thunder tones.

And now I am in my snug little room. •*iI^oun^ asleep (she staid at home with the other children.) It is far in the

chamber of memon7, and if cares come to oppress the future, I will summon that glowing scene to the "minds eye," and for the time banish all else.

SUNDAY MOKNING, July 21st.—I rose too late for church this morning. I hope, however, to listen to the great Spurgeon this evening.

The last plan we have made are that the General will take Miss Reynolds to Paris to meet her aunt this week, and that I and Nellie will accompany them, and remain in Paris a week or so, returning here with the General. If so, I shall probably, very soon, make arrangements to go home, as everybody here seems to think that going to Switzerland would involve some danger. The Barns family, of whom I have written you, offer to take charge of us, if we wish to go when they do, and they have some notion of going to Switzerland. But I hardly think I will risk it, unless the General or Mr. Talbott advise me to go. I trust to their advice entirely. I shall decide very soon about going home, and engage a state room, I think, on the Russia.

Homestead and Pre-emption.

Istatement,plainlyaprinted

II AVE compiled full, concise and complete for the information of persons, intending to take up a Homestead or Pre-Emption in this poetry of the West, em bracing Iowa, Dakota, and Nebraska and other sections. It explains how to proceed to secure 160 acres of Rich Farming Land for Nothing, six*montlis before you leave your home, in the most healthful climate. In short it contains just such instructions as are needed by those intending to make a Home and Fortune in the Free Lands of the West. I will send one ol these printed Guides to any person for 25 cents. The information alone, which, it gives is worth 85 to anybody. Men who came here two and three years ago, and took a farm, are to-day independent.

To Youxo Mes.

This country is being crossed with numerous Railroads from every direction to Sioux City, Iowa. Six Railroads will be made to this city within one year. One is already In operation connecting us with Chicago and the U. P. Railroad and two more will be completed before spring, connecting us with Dubuque and McGregor, direct. Three more will be completed within a year, connecting us direct with St Paul, Minn., Yankton, Dakota, and Columbus Nebraska, on the U. P. Railroad. The Missour River gives us the Mountain Trade. Tfc us it 1 be seen that no section of country offers such unprecedented advantages for business, speculation and making a fortune, for the country is being populated, and towns and cities are being built, and fortunes made almost beyond belief. Every man who takes a homestead now will have a railroad market at his own door, And any enterprising young man with a small capital can establish himself in a permanent payiti" business, if he selects the right location and right branch of trade. Eighteen years residence in tlie western country, and a large portion ot the time employed as a Mercantile Agent in thii country, has made me familiar with alltha branches of business and the best locations in this country. For one dollar remitted to me I will give truthful and definite answers to all questions on this subject desired by such persons. Tell them the best place to locate, and what business is overcrowded and what branch is neglected. Address,
