Foreign News—Prospects of a
General European War.—The news
from Europe by the Niagara leaves but
little room to hope that the difficulties in
Europe will be adjusted without war. In
truth, it can scarce bo averted; Austria
is, as ever, inexorable in her demands,
9 t)(l flin Vxl'vlno ennm ilolnemieoR to
maintain their position. It is generally
conceded that the contest will be between
Sardinia and Piedmont backed by France,
and Austria backed by most of the German
Stales. The European powers, generally,
seem lo have made full preparation for the
approaching strife.

JSSr* The New Orleans Crescent no
tices a ridiculous threat of the Louisville
Journal against the people of Louisiana
and Mississippi, for asserting their right
to change their form of government when
ever their rights and interests demand it.
The Journal it appears threatens “to de
scend with its millions of hardy western
yeomanry upon the Delta, and subduo all
such rebellious people.” The Crescent
responds as follows :
“ When that event happens, let the Journal
bring on its “'millions of bold, hardy freemen,
who dwell on the upper waters of the Missis
sippi j” to them add ‘.he myriads of Ohio, In
diana and Illinois Abolitionists; let Pennsyl
vania, New York and all of the New England
States swell the crusading hordes millions
more, to plunder and oppress those who never
harmed them, and al! can not conquer and hold
the single State of Louisiana, with its “scant
population,” twelve months 1 We have a
friend—we have always heretofore considered
him our worst enemy, but who.in such a case
would be a friend indeed—before whom the
armed hosts of ail tile earth would wither and
die in a single year—whose saffron sword
would prove as potential and merciless as was
that of the Destroying Angel when he smote
tlie legions of Senaehorib—and to contend
with whom would be madness—downright in
sanity. The yellow fever would protect us
and the Gulf States, if all things else failed !
Let the Journal look over the appropiatc sta
tistics, and calculate how long the utterly un
acclimated, “hold, hardy millions” it speaks
of, would last during an epidemic season, i
quartered in dense bodies in different parts of j
the Southern States. Epidemics would surely
prevail among them, and a nine-fold decima
tion would assuredly take place between each
July and January. The “millions'” would I
right speedily disappear from the face of the I
earth, and.the borders of the “ upper waters j
of the Mississippi” would quickly become !
destitute of male population.

Abatement of the Excitement—Tho
Rupture between the Government j
Officials, etc.
St. Louis, May 2.—The Salt Lake j
correspondent of the Republican, under,
date of the Sth ult., says that the excite
ment there has somewhat abated, and that
this is attributed in part to the knowledge !
the Mormons now have of the practical i
working of the Jury law passed by the
late Legislature, it being a complete nulli
ty to the punishment of any crime com- j
mined by the Mormons. Under this law
clerks of the Mormon county 'courts select i
the grand and petit juries of the federal !
courts, and such restrictions are imposed j
as disqualify every gentile in the Territo- ,
ry
The rupture between the Judiciary and
Executive is staled to be open and irre
concilable, unless the Governor yields,
which he wdlnotdo; and if the Admin
istration moves in tlie matter detrimental
to the Judges, they will resign, and pub
lish a manifesto disclosing darker and
bloodier scenes than any heretofore ex
posed.
Judge Cradlebnugh has adjotyned the
Court at Provo, being unable to accom

nate of alt the Kinsas Governors. The
Ohio Statesman copies an article from a
Kansas paper, highly commendatory of
his official conduct, and says:
“ Tne papers o! the Territory very
genetally apeak of the administration of
Gov. Medary with satisfaction. He ap
pears lobe gaining the confidence of the
people to a greater extent than any of iiis
predecessors. The various responsibili
ties and duties of Lis '.'fi: appear to be
met and discharged directly and wisely.
May he continue to have success in his
management of the affairs of Kansas."
Death ot Cut. Dick Nash.—Our New
Orleans exchanges announce the death, in that
city, of the well-known ami universally popu- >
lar Dick ’'^ash,,’ as he was familiarly called !
throughout the valley of the Mississippi.
-The Kansas Herald states that the offi- j

From Washington.
Washington. May 2.—Dispatches
were received to-day at the navy depart
ment from Captain Jarvis, dated Vera !
Cruz, April 27, confirming the news j
brought by the Tennessee of the desper-!
ate battle between Miramon and the liber-'
als near the City of Mexico, boll-, claiming
the victory. He adds a postscript, just ns
die mail was closing, announcing that the
liberal party had raised the siege of the
City of Mexico. The State department
received nothing by the Tennessee's mail
from Mr. Me Lane.
The nnvy department, in accordance
with the law passed last session, has abol
ished the coal agencies. These positions
were the most lucrative under the Govern
ment. Coal is to be purchased hereafter
ns other material for the navy.
Washington, May 2.—Captain Jar
vis, commander of the s!oop*of-war Savan
nah, in a letter to the navy department,
dated off Sacrificios, April 21, while
speaking of Mexican affairs, says:
•* From all I can learn the crisis is at hand,
amj a month or less will about determine
j the fate of one or oilier of the parties.”
Me adds : “ The Prussian frigate sailed
on the 13th for Norfolk, via Tampico, and
on the 20ib, the British ship Tartar, and
the gunboat Jasper left Sacrificios. It was
reported that the Ciesar and Diadem woulJ
sail for England, on the 20th of April.
The navy department is also in receipt
of dispatches from Capt. Lavalette, dated
Gulf of Spezzia, April 8, in which he
says that Conterno Ottairo, a musician on
board the Wabash, who was seized by the
Sardinian authorities on the ground that
lie was a native of that country and was
absent from the recruiting of 1839, has
been released, as, on examination, it did
not appear that he owed, us was claimed,
military service to that government. The
correspondence shows that Capt. Lava
letle took prompt action.
Secretary Cass lias recently been pros

®ST* YY'e clip the following paragraphs
from the Memphis Avalanche of the olh
inst., and commend their perusal, espe
cially the first, to that class of men who
believe in railroads with “ water privile
ges.”
M e m p n i s and Little II OCK 11 AIL
ROAD.—The rood trom here to the St
Francis river—the completion of which
caused so much rejo; .ig at the time—has
been useless and worthless lor the past
three months. It is all under water, and
in some places as deep us ten or twelve
feet. Not a car load of passengers or one
of freight has passed over the road for
many weeks. The locomotive is rusty
with disuse, and the whole concern is in
the most melancholy, deplorable and di
lapidated condition. Twenty years ago
the government of the United States, and
while Arkansas was a Territory, sent Ma
jor Bowman out with a large foree, hacked
up by ample appropriations from Congress,
to construct a road leading from opposite
Memphis to Little Hock. That officer
went to Arkansas and constructed the
whole distance to the St. Francis river,
with the exception of about eight miles,
one of the most splendid roads through an
almost impenetrable swamp, that ever
stood as a monument to the skill of the
engineer of the tnumfieenee of a govern
ment in any country. This road has with
stood the overflows of nearly a quarter ot
a century, and is to-day the most substan
tial and prominent load in the whole South
or South YY’est. This embankment, per
manent and durable, all ready to the hands
of the railroad company for the asking,
..1.i.i .i. ___i .... ,i,...i n..._i.
the swamp, badly and insufficiently con
structed, an almost hopeless loss. Let the
iron in the present road be taken up before
it rusts and becomes valueless by being
so long submerged in water, and wail un
til the next Legislature meets then get the
use of the military road upon which to lay
the iron.
Arkansas Lands.—For a while, and
when the river was at its highest, Arkan
sas lands almost ceased to be a matter of
sale, trade and traffic in this market. But
yesterday there was a revival of affairs,
and a considerable amount of lands
changed iiantis at former prices. Improve
ed plantations are in active demand and
bring full prices. The large amounts ol
the best Colton lands in the world are in
viting the hand of the enterprising anti
industrious to make them the most pro
ductive and valuable in the world, and in
despite of these overflows they will be cul
tivated to the very last acre. Our sister
State presents the strongest and surest
inducements to the man of capital of any
State in this Confederacy, and those who
bave*secured large and valuable tracts will
find themselves independent and leave
their children rich. We have heard that
in North and South Carolina, Georgia,
the uplands of Mississippi, Kentucky, and
the eastern part of this Slate that hun
dreds, in many counties, are making prepa
rations to go to Arkansas this lull. The
Slate Las now a population of about oOO,
000 persons, and we venture the predic
tion that in five years that.number will be
more than doubled.
Oi R Course Toward Mexico.—
New Y'ork, May 5.—The Herald of to
day says: Y\re learn from Washington 1
that the Administration have adopted the <
very laudable determination of strengthen
ing Mr. McLaue’s hands and rendering :
every support it can to the government of
President Juarez, in view of the outra- i
jeous course pursued by the madman Mi
ramon toward our consul and citizens in :
Mexico, and the refusal of the British .
Minister to concede the official courtesy l
of representing American interests during ■
die forced absence of Mr. Black. Such >
1 course is rendered necessary. Our resi- s
Jems there may be forced to fly to the '
;oast for refuge, and our fleet should be t
strong euougi) to protect not only them a
•ut the local authorities who shield them. 1
WAR IN EUROPE.
In spite of all the rumors of Peace J
Congresses, all the goings to and fro of j
Ambassadors, ail the explanations ofMin- j
isters, and all the peaceful professions of e
all the crowned heads of Europe, the pub
lic mind refuses to become tranquil, and
the funds obstinately decline to believe in
peace or prosperity. The opinion that the
necessities of Louis Napoleon call 'for a
war, aud the no less confirmed opinion
that he will have that war in some form,
regardh s- i -th of the interests of France
and the desires of all humane men, grow,
rather than decrease in strength, with
every new development of affairs. Both
Austria and France continue the most ac
tive preparations for war ; the German
States are compelled, in their modest little
way, to do the same, and England and
Sardinia are not far behind. Russia is
too much interested in getting her revenge
against the Western Powers for the war
of five years ago, and her long-sought iso
lation, ever to interfere in earnest in the
interest of peace. She will almost neces
sarily, supposing her Czar to have even
the commonest of common sense, be driv
en to foment aud aggravate difficulties be
tween the Western Powers, rather than
heal them. Russia has but little trade to
be injured by a war, and great profit by
being let alone in Eastern Europe. A
general war between the Western Powers
will extend practically the dominion of the
Czar to long-coveted Constantinople.
Any other policy would be Dot only con
trary to the old traditions of the country
and of all the Czars, but would also sub
ject the present one to the danger of a
Russian impeachment—which is assassin
ation.
We consider it incumbent on our feder
al authorities to prepare to take such ad
vantage of the coining contest in Europe
as may be most to our interest. There is
no possibility that we can do anything to
stop it—very little that we can ever he
imu’u up in 11. rye wish io ub isuuueu,
just as Russia does, except that our wish
is modified by a much larger commercial
interest and an infinitely larger humanity
than can be found in that great country.
Nevertheless our Federal Government
ought to prepare carefully and coolly to
use the tumult of Europe in such a way
as to promole the peace and prosperity of
America. Events of such importance
ought to be well studied out before band,
and turned as far as is consistent with hon
or to the benefit of this nation —[New
Orleans Courier.

SANTA FE NEWS.
Pikes Peakcrs Lining the. Road—Disap
pointment .'Iwaiting Them—Enrolling
for Sonora, iVc.—Indian Fight—The
Crojis, S'c.
Independence, April 30,1S.M).
The Santa Fe mail reached here yes
terday, bringing but little news of interest.
Other than a slight fire in one of the shops
adjoining the Plasa, there had been
nothing to excite or disturb the quiet of
the place. Business was dull, and will he
so until the trains from the States arrive.
The road, from the crossing of the Ai
Icansas, was lined with Navnjoes and emi
grants for Pike’s Peak. Many were still
farther out, and far enough advanced to
have reached the gold-fields ; but from a
gentleman just in, we fear that a sad dis
appointment awaits them. Those who had
reached the “ diggings,” and others en
route, were enrolling themselves in com
panies for Arizona and Sonora.
A mail is soon expected from California,
on the central route. Lieut. Beale is on
the road, and the troops were near the
river. .
On the 2d of April, a battle was fought
in sight of. Zuux, between the- Navnjoes
and a baud of the Apaches. Ten of the
latter were killed, arid-eight of the former.
The Navajoes lost four thousand sheep.
The Zuni ludiana assisted the Apaches,
and several were wounded.
Emigrants are daily passing through

Despite the recent cold weather, we
have much fruit uninjured, and the wheat
prospects ore flattering.
ARRIVAL OF THE QUAKER CITY.
New Orleans, May 5.
The steamship Quaker City's mails ar
rived from below to-day.
Advices from Port-au-Prince, of the
loth ult., state that the brig African, front
New York, arrived at that port on the
lSjfh, with thirty-five filibusters, and two
huudred and forty guns, and other muni
tions of war, having attempted to land at
Cuevas Grandes. Cuba, and failed. The
attoTiipt was made on the 7th ult. Tile
boats were swamped, and the munitions
lost. The African received one thousand
jollars of advance money.
The Spanish Consul of Hayti notified
Gen. Concha, who had dispatched a
steamer to' capture them. Nothing had
been heard of other filibuster vessels.
The Death or De Tocqueville.—
Henry Alexis, Count De Tocqueville,
he celebrated French statesman uud phil
osophical historian, so well known to the
jublie as the author of the celebrated
work on Democracy in America, is dead.
De Tocqueville was born iu 1S05, and re- '
reived an education of more than usual
excellence, embracing those varied bran- <
dies which are reflected in more matured 1
bruts in his very varied works. He was
sent in 1S31, in company with the well <
itiown Gustave de lleauuiout, on a mis- <
0 u-Ly the French-Govesmaient to-North -
America. The results of his studies were <
given to the world in ISilo. The work of i
De Tocqueville was De la Democratic en
ilmerique, in which “ the political insti- i
utions of the United States were describ- .
■d in a masterly manner, and their learn- i
tig philosophically investigated.” He
ubsequently occupied positions iu France, t
n 1S49. he was elected Vice-President of I
he Assembly, and from June to October, 1
vas one of Louis Napoleon’s ministers.
Since the coup d'etat, which made Louis
Sfapoleou Emperor, he has been one of *
hat band of French constitutionalists and i;
nen of letters, who, “ divested of all au- «
hority, yet, still not unattended by rever- |
nee, have been permitted by the power (
1 llicit has triumphed over them, to record ^
heir implied protest agaius its supremacy,
nd to found on their cherished remem
rauecs, aspirations for belter days.” | t
rHE END OF THE SICKLES TEIAL.
We quote from the Washington Consii
’ulion, of the 27th ult., the account of the j
finale of this case.
At the conclusion of giving the instruc
Lions, Mr. Chilton, with the concurrence
of the prisoner and hit counsel, offered to
submit the case upon the instructions,
without further argument.
Mr. Quid, on the part of the prosecu
tion, at once accepted the proposition.
The case was given to the jury at ten
minutes to two o'clock, p. m., and they re
tired.
At three o’clock, a general rush of per
sons from the marshal’s office announced
iliat the jury were coming in; and soon
Lhe jury entered, amid loud cries of order
from various parts of the court-room. The 1
jury entered the box and were called by
the cleik, amid profound silence. The
clerk then asked, “ Gentlemen of the jury, I
have you agreed upon your verdict?”
Mr. Arnold, the foreman, replied that
they had.
The clerk said, “ Stand up, Daniel E.
Sickles.”
The prisoner stood up, looking calmly j
upon the jury.
The clerk then said, “Gentleman of
ihe jury, look upon the prisoner at the j
bar: Do you find the prisoner at the bar
guilty, as indicted, or not guilty?”
The foreman replied, “ Not guilty.”
The audience, heretofore so quiet, gave
vent to a simultaneous shout, and all at
tempt at restoring order was abandoned,
for u few moments, by the officers.
Those outside the bar instantly leaped
toward the prisoner to congratulate him,
and instantly a multitude of hands were
stretched forth to grasp those of the pris
oner, amid cheering, the waving of hats,
and the wildest excitement.
Mr. Stanton, in a loud voice, here ad
dressed the court, asking that the prisoner
be instantly discharged from custody; j
It.' . 1 I
"ii cil IUC tuuu U1UUCU.
The greatest difficulty was experienced
by the officers in preventing the crowd,
who had completely taken possession of
Mr. Sickles, from tearing his clothes from
his person. In passing the jury-box, Mr.
Sickles stopped for a moment to shake
hands with the jury, when he was finally
dragged from the court-house by the ex
cited crowd, whose cheers and tries, min
gled with congratulations, were almost
deafening.
Oat.-ide the court-house, the populace
gave full vent to their approbation by three
times three cheers, and, amid the univer
sal excitement, Mr. Sickles entered the
carriage of J. II. McBlair, Esq., and drove
rapidly away, in company with his father
and his counsel.
At the conclusion of the proceedings at
the court-house, the carriage of Mr. Mc
Blair, luilowed by a large concourse of
people, proceeded to ins residence oppo
site Lafayette Square, where, when Mr.
Sickles entered the iiouse, he was con
gratulated by several .distinguished and
undistinguished people, who called upon
him. INIr. Sickles stood in the centre of
tiro room, and bis friends grasped his
hands, in turn, as they passed by. The
vicinity of Mr. McBIair’s house was
thronged until a late hour.
Last evening, a number of gentlemen,
admirers of the ability and eloquence dis
played by the counsel retained by the de
fence of the Hon. Daniel E. Sickles, in
his late trial, paid them the compliment of
a serenade.
A detachment of the Marine Band were
selected for this purpose, and, followed by
a large concourse of-citizens, they pro
ceeded to the National Hotel, where,
after the execution of several beautiful
airs by the band, Messrs. Stanton, Brady,
Chilton, aud Magruder, appeared, and in
prepriate--terms thanked the assemblage
for the call, and alluded to the result of
the recent trial. They were loudly cheered.
The company then proceeded to Willard’s
Hotel, where, in answer to loud calls, Mr.
Graham responded, in an appropriate
and beautiful speech, which was loudly
cheered.

Dr. Duvall, the eminent English physi

The impression caused by the whole
