The War.
What may be " the fortune of war," it is for
none now to predict. War has begun wLo
hall foretel, when or where the end. Austria
has made her declaration, and follows up the
same, by crossing the Tictn-, an J by sweeping
down into Sardinia. The Albany Journal writer
upon this subject says: "They have possession
of Lake Maggiore, and have successively ceptur
ed Novara, Mortara, Yigerano and the smaller
towns lying on the line of their inarch. In the
face of overwhelming odd, the Sardinian forces
retreat, and the Austrian carry everything be
fore them. They are now within fifty mi!e3 of
Turin. It would not be surprising if the next
steamer brought news that they were sutnmouing
that Capital to surrender.
Meanwhile, where arc the French ? One p:irt
of them, who came by the sea, are at Genoa, on
the extreme southern coast ; the rent, who came
across the mountains, are at Suz.i, on the ex
treme western frontier. TLey are at the two
points in the Kingdom which were most remote
from the scene of Austrian attack. They have
to cross the whole country before they can meet
the enemy face to face. Two days, however,
would sullied to ilo this, were they prepared for
the field. Hut that paraphernalia of artui and
munitions, provisions, stores, baggage, ambu
lances, horses, kc, without which an army can
not march, is hardly complete, and the Austrian
probably have had full sway for a week. During
i hut time thev could subjugate a lure- tract, and
commence lewinc tribute to " make the War
support the War."
Hut while Austria is thus victorious in the
field, she leaves grave domestic troubles behind
her. Her Declaration of War is simultaneously
accompanied by a virtual confession of bank
ruptcy. Her National Hank has suspended spe
fie imvmeiit, and her financiers are in the mar
ket for a loan of a hundred million dollars.
In his nianifeto, Francis Joseph admits his
dillicultics, and makes them th ground of an
appeal for help from the rest of the German
States.
Another Italian sovereign is deposed for Aus
trian sympathies. The Grand Duchess of Parma
is forced to quit her throne, while her peopl
j oin the Sardinians in the- struggle for Italliau In
dependence." The population of Northern Italy
are now united in this cause Piedmont, Tus
cany and I'arm.t, ojH'iily ; Lombardy and Venice,
ecretly. The long smouldering revolutionary
fires in the latter will not improbably break out
ere lontr. afresh. The States of the Church and
Naples will find it difficult to resist the same in
fectinn.
The other European Powers are, as yet, spec
tators otdv. Hut all are armiug. The Kngli-h
are strengthening their Navy, the Prussians con
solidating their Army, the Germans enrolling
their battalions, and the Czar marshalling his myr
iads. All evidently expect to become involved
in the strife, though they do not yet know when,
or where, or how. F.ven the Swiss, whose only
desire is to maintain independence and neutrali
ty, arc getting ready for the field. Spain,
doubtless with an eye to the protection of Cuba,
is getting out a tleet of gun boats. The Sultan,
who has apparently but little to gain or lose in
thin battle between Christians, is evidently ap
prehensive of danger, and is preparing for it.
The Foreign News from this time forth will be
looked for with intense interest. Any hour may
bring us more of it.
Loal Sapoleou'a AddrcM.
Napoleon sent to the Corps Legislatif on the
3d, the following :
" Austria, by ordering the entering of her ar
my into the territories of Sardinia, our ally, has
declaired war against us. She thus violates trea
ties and menaces our frontiers. All the great
Powers have protested against this act of ag
gression. riedmont, having accepted the con
ditions, one asks what can be the reason of this
sudden invasion It is because Austria has driv
en matters to such an extremity, that her domin
Ions must either extend to the Alps, or Italy
must be free to the shores of the Adriatic, for
eTery corner of Italy which remains independent
endangers the power of Austria. Hitherto mod
eration has been the rule of my conduct, but
now energy becomes my first duty. France
must now to arms and resolut ely tell Kurope, I
wish not for conuueb " ' lto.;..i
maintain my national and traditional policy. I
observe treaties on condition that they are not
violated against m. I respect territories and
the rights of neutral powers, but I boldly avow
my sympathies with a people whose history is
mingled with oar own and who now groan under
foreign oppression. France has shown her ha
tred of anarchy. Iler will was to give me pow
er sufficiently strong to reduce into subjection
the abettors of disorder and the incorrigible
members of old factions, who are incessantly
seen concluding compacts with our enemies, but
she has not for that purpose abandoned her civ
ilizing character. Iler natural allies have always
been those who desire the amelioration of the
human race, and when she draws the sword it is
not to govern, but to free. Tho object then of
this war is to restore Italy to herself. Not to
impose upon her a change of masters, and we
shall then have upon our frontier a friendly peo
ple who will owe to us their independence.
We do not enter Italy to foment disorder, or to
disturb the power of our Holy Father, whom we
replaced upon his throne, but to remove from him
this foreign pressure which burdens the whole
Peninsula, and to help to establish order there
based upon lawful satisfied interests. In fine,
then, we enter this classic ground, rendered illus
trious by so many victories, to seek the footsteps
or our fathers. God grant that we may be wor
thy of them.
"I am about to place myself at the head of the
army. I leave to France the Empress and my
sou, seconded by the experience and the enlihgt-
nment of the Emperor's last surviving brother.
She will understand how to show herself worthy
I the grandeur of her mission. I confide them
to the valor of the army which remains in France
to keep watch upon our frontier and to euard
our homes. I confide them to the patriotism of
tne ationaI Guard. I confide them, in a word,
to the entire people, who will encircle them with
tUt affection and devoteness of which I daily re
ceive so many proofs. Courage then, and union.
Our country is again about to show to the world
that she has not degenerated. Providence will
bless our efforts, for that cause is holy in the eyes
of God which rests on justice, humanity, love of
country and independence."
Death or am I.idiasa Lawter. The Hon.
Jeeeph H. Mather, a prominent member of the
Bar of Elkhart Co., Indiana, died a few days
tince at Goshen, in that State. He was a mem
ber of the last Constitutional Convention of In
dian, being elected from a district at that time
V&1 opposed to him in politics. He also serv.
d term as Judge of the Common Pleas.
The Monroe Doctrine, In a Parisian Disguise.
The Paris Constitutional of April 11th thinks
the Presidential message, to insinuate that the
Monroe doctrine is little to be feared, since it is
difficult for the President to obtain from Congress
even the means of defending the honor of tho
United States abroad and their national interests.
Alter stating that the Senate refused to grant an
increase of the army to act against the Mormons,
and that it required 5 years to organize an expe
dition against Paraguay,where the American flag
Lad been insulted, our French contemporary re
marks that France and England have already ob
tained reparation from Mexico, while the great
American Republic has not as yet been able to
obtain justice for its citizens who were outraged
there. Is it not humiliating, says the Conttitu
tionel, for that proud people, who haughtily of
fer to buy Cuba, to see themselves distanced by
Spain herself in a question of national honor,
and with a Power so feeble as Mexico 5"
We are right, then, in saying that the Monroo
doctrine, which promises the whole American
continent to the citlens of the Republic, is not
so terrible as it has been represented. It is dif
ficult to perceive how the United States can ap-
nlv it. notwithstanding their avowed tendecics.
It'is not to be nresumed that thev want to alter
their Constitution, in order to invest the Presi-
dent with the power of making war. Nor will
Congress, contrary to its traditional distrust, be
willing to grant to the President an increase of
the Federal forces, and tho authority to use them
abroad. If neither of these things can be done,
we do not perceive how the Republic can think
of putting into practice the Monroe doctrine, un
less it be bv the aid of the almiirhtv dollar sn l
the chivalry of filibusters.
Tlie v Comet.
We observe that James C. Watson, of Ann
Arlor, l.ns written to the Detroit papers, an ac
count of the comet which he discovered on the
'J.'id ult., in the constellation Lynx. Mr. W. says
it will not be visible to the nuked eye, but may
readily be seen by means of a gocd spy-glass.
From observations and calculations, .Mr. W. Is
satisfied that the comet is moving from the ea-t
towards the sun. Its geocentric distance is now
sixty-six millions of miles, and its heliocentric
distance eighty-eight millions Mven hundred and
seventy thousand miles. At noon on the Hyth
of May, the date of its nearest approach to the
sun, it will be distant from the earth ninety-nine
million" three hundred thousand miles; and its
distance from the sun, at the same epoch wih be
only nineteen millions eight hundred thousand
miles. Its brilliancy w ill then be tn times great
er than at the present time, but owing to its
close pioximity to the sun, it Mill not be visible.
The perihelion of the orbit, it will be perceived,
lies within the orbit of Mercury, but, on account
of its great inclination to the plane of the eclip
tic, amounting to nearly eighty -fight degrees,
the comet can never conic io collision with any
of the planets in cae it houId ever return.
By referenx! to the Catalogue of tin orbits of
the comets which have hitherto been observed,
it appears that no previous appearance of this
comet his ik-cii recorded ; and, since it was visi
ble only a few weeks, it will hardly be possible
to determine whefher it will ever return again,
unless the period of its revolution should not ex
ceed four or five hundred yeais. The elements
above given suppose the orbit to he a para!oIa,
or, which is equivalent, that the period of revo
lution is infinite.
'I In I lay of 3ImioMill t.
The old South S.-a Company is long since de
funct the Ka-t India Company lias followed suit,
that American Fur Company, "sfnt Homines
umhra" and of the Hudson's Bay Company, so
long known, and so wide and sttong in its opera
tions, the following passing notice is given by
the Albany Keening Journal :
"Thi 4 large Corporation which has so long con
trolled the Trade with the Indians, on the North
western frontier, will be shorn of its ancient pri
vileges in that region within the coming month.
It is, like its prototype, the East India Company,
an institution of the past itiilispensal.de, per
haps, in the early stages of commerce but ren
dered superfluous and irksome by the growth
and development of individual enterprise. The
English Government, wisely conforming to popu
lar necessities, abrogates the privileges, first of
the one, and then of the other, of these corpora
tions, which had come down to us almost unal
tered since the davs of Kiwr Charles the Second.
The Indians of the Northwest will be sufferers
probably, by the change. The Bay Company
has furnished them with steady and profitable
employment as trappers ; has, in some measure.
civilized them ; h:is compelled them to peaceful
pursuits, and has excluded the temptations and
destruction which seem to follow in the wake of
unrestrained traffic with white men. Wi'h the
opening of the Indian trade toewrybodv, dai
ries, quarrels, rum and cheating will probably
ensue, as they have among ourown Indian Tribes
at the West.
The United States, however, will be 1 ugely
the gainers by abrogation of the Bay Company's
swav. J t will open to t lie emigrant, the miner.
the trapper, the fisherman, broad tracts from
wnicn tnev are now exclude J. it cre
ate now communities, who must buy and sell in
our markets, and competition will probably re
duce the prices of furs, &c, below tho points
at which the Monopoly has Ions hel l them.

Diatq or a Patriot. Christian Essellen, one
of the most accomplished scholars and most sin
cere spirits among the German emigration to the
United States, died at the Lunatic Asylum on
Black well's Island, on Sunday night, in conse
quence of t'.ie breaking of a blood vessel in the
brain. He was a native of Westphalia, and was
about thirty-four years old. He was concerned
in the revolution in Baden in 1S49, and has been
for some seven or eight years in this countrv,
where he has made himself known as the con
ductor of the At font h, a monthly magazine of
mncn ability, m the German language. It was
first published in Detroit, then ia Milwaukee,
Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo and lastly in New
York, nis health became ruined and his mind
alienated some month since.

Obituary.
Died, at his residence in Lansing, on Thurs
day, May 15th, E. P. Boswell, aged forty years
and six months.
This brief sentence records the loss of one of
the most active business men of our city. Mr.
Boswell removed to this place a little over two
years since, lrom Henrietta, N. Y., some twelve
miles from Rochester, and opened a Boot & Shoe
store. By his prompituds and fair dealing he
had obtained a Urge trade, while his good con
duct and uprightness as a citizen secured him
manv friends, and won the esteem of all. Mr.
Boswell was a member of the Baptist church
and was a consistent chistian. He leaves behind
a wife and four children to mourn his loss, as do
we all. Rcquietcat in pate.
A Slight Ciia.vge. The New Orleans Dtlta,
which rendered efficient aid in the election of
Mr. Buchanan in 1 85t, now amiably proposes to
get up such a demonstration by the Democratic
party of all sections of the Union, as will com
pel Mr. Buchanan to resign the Presidency am:
retire to private life; and that the party then
make up a "pony purse" to pay him his salary
for the remainder of his term. The Idt savs
the ""gStion meets with quite general favor,
n1 maliciously adds that it would be "surprised
if the feeling in favor of this sensible move sho'd
the coming season, assume a shape the imbecile
old gentleman can neither well disregard nor fail
to gratify. What are twen
ty thousand dollars per annum for two years, di
vided among tho States of the Union ? Why, the
whole sum only amounts to the profit Slidell an
ticipates from the Houmas land swindle, and will
not reach the profits given a single machine shop
in Philadelphia by the Secretary of the Navy, to
frecure the election of Florer.co and Philips to
the Houso of Representatives, or for some oth
er purpose equally honorable and patriotic."
Democracy is toe Kbvstose. " When Doc

an ! anti-Douglas Democrats of Pennsplvania are
particularly amiable toward each other of late.
For instance, the Stat-.? S'ntltfl. a Democratic
Anti-Lecompton paper published at Harrisbur
uses the following mild langunge toward the
President.
"He is a violator J pledge, an wnW. nn

uinonttty a piratf m intention, a tjrawy an
apostate from Democracy, a troolityej f'e-leral-
it, and aciaor.iuVr."
To which the Philadelphia Pennnyh-arnan
retorts by calling Messrs. Forney and Hickman
"Red-mouth Abolitionists, corrupt and rotten
at the heart, capable of perpetrating the foulest
and blackest crimes, nho I iavo hved all their
lives on plunder, stealing from the Treasury of
the Government, and when the door was thut
against their wholesale stealing, they turn round
and alus. the men and party who gave them
life."
l)u vth or Col. Lkvj Thkaowfli.. Papers
from Southern Michigan announce tin? death of
Col. Levi Tread well.a prominent citizen of Wheat
land, Hillsdale county, who died on the 4thinst,
in the TCth vear of his age. Mr. Tread well was
bom in Fairfield Co., Connecticut, but removed
with his parents to Western New York at an our
ly age. While there he held important public
positions, both civil and military, being an officer
in the war of 1S12. In 140 he removed to his
late resilience, where he had become a prominent

He was an elder brother of S. fl. Treadwell,
Commissioner of our State Land Office f i the

Strength in tiik Field. A foreign corres
pondentof the N. Y. I'ft says that Sardinia i
stated to have 75,U Troops at different points
along her line of loitifieations. There are said
to be li,Mw French at Genoa, and pt,i o more
at Susa, on their way there. This makes in all
155,(" men. On the other hand, tho Austrian
Army already within the limits of Sardinia, num
ber 12",m. The advantage of numbers is ap
parently on the sid- of the Allies, but the Aus
trians are more cor. entrated, anil have their re
inforcements nearer at hand. A collision between
two such contending armies in the field, or any
considerable portion of them, will be terrible.
No engagement in Crimea would parallel it, or
any deed on record since Waterloo.
A Vetera Figut. The Pari, Ki , Citizen

The Tyler Cask at Washington. The cor
respondent of the N. V. t'ouri'T d" Kn'juir'r,
writes under date of Sunday : "Lord Lyon is ac
tively preparing a demand for the surrender of
Tyler, the U. S. Deputy Marshal, who is charged
with the murder of Capt. Jons of the American
brig Concord. He claims the surrender of Tvler
under tho 10th section of the Extradition clause
of the Ashburton Treatv. The nflair will I ad
to a laborious correspondence."
Btsnor Totter. A correspondent of the Bal
timore Amrriin, under date of Marseilles, April
IS, writes as follows concerning the health of
Bishop Potter : "I regret to state that he regards
his health as little improved by Lis residence in
Europe and the aid of the best medical and sur
gical skill of Paris. He suffers with an affection
of the spine that operates on the brain, and has
so reduced his physical condition that we scarce
ly recognize him at first.
Sen wan Remorse. Mr. Van Anden, a well
known organist of Charleston, S. C, committed
suicide on Sunday last, by taking arsenic. The
Charleston Afercury says : "Ho had been visited
within the past month by a gentleman from

away with his wife. Van Anden ha J been arres

The Wealth ok tiik Astors. A corrc-pod
--nt of the JeMey Telegraph gives the following
apparentlv authentic information re-pecting the
wea.th of the Ator family : George Ii. Smith,
deceased, was a long time ager.t of John Jacob
A-tor, chiefly ernploved in the collection of l.is
rents, for which Service Mr. Astor pai l Lira
eight thousand dollars a veer. I heard, for I
wad there, Mr. Smith say that he collected one
hundred and sixty thousand dollars a quarter for
rents alone, ari l these were a small part of his
property; that 31 r. Astor a: the time of his d-.ath,
was worth twenty-one millions of dollars. By
his will he gave Lis son, Wm. B. Astor, fifteen
millions, a part of which was the Astor House.
The remain Jer cf Lis property Le gave away ia
legicies to different persons. Prom the time of
Mr. Astor's decease his son must Lave laid up a
million of dollars a year, for he was then rich, in
dependently of what Lis lather gave Liin.
Mr. Astor was six months bed-ridden, an J du
ring all that time gave orders daily to Mr. Smith,
lie wett once every day to see Mr. Astor, anl
William visited Lis father twice a day. Mr.
Smith said'that Lis habit was to go into the sick
room and quietly take a chair and sit down by
the bedside. It Mr. Astor t eyes were shut, he
(Mr. S.) would sit about ten minutes, and if he
still remained so he would quietly leave the room.
If Mr. Astor wt awake, Mr. S. would tell him
what he Lad done, and Mr. Astor would give Lini
directions to govern Lira uuiil the next visit. j
At one time Mr. Smith was appointed President
of the Butchers' and Drovers' Bank, and Mr. As
tor immediately sent for Liin. lie toll him he
could not be President of that Ba.nl and attend
at the same time to his business ; and that he
mu5t reiiga, which he did.

Si ii'iiie ok a Limr Girl. The GreenSeM
t!a:itte gives tho following account of a touch
ing case of suicide by a little girl eight year old,
daughter of Warren Leonard, at Peorfield, on
Saturday, April .:' :
"AIout four o'clock in the afternoon her moth
er Lad occasion to correct her for some littW mis
demeanor, when she became very much excited
and shut herself iu a room, where she remained
about an hour, when her mother railed her to
the kitchen. Her little brother, about six and
one-half years, then requested her to go out and
play with him. She then left the house with him
saying she would po lo the river and drown her
self, and started across the meadow uton a run,
her little brother following.
"When they catno to the river, nhe aaid to hint
if he would take her clothes back to tLe Louie,
she would take them oil'. Ho tried to prevetit
her, but she aaid she should be happy after sba
should be iu the water, and took off her bonnet,
when her brother caught bold of her dress to
prevent her going in. She broke from him, and
walked into the water where it was low at tba
shore. He watched her until she reached a suf
flicient depth for the current to carry her out of
Lis sight, when Lo ran home and gave the alarm.
It is the opinion of loih parents that she was in
sane. She Lad been an easy child to govern be
fore, and the correct ion at this time was only
done by talking. No other method was used.
The Ixjdy of the child was not recovered until
the next day, although immediate efforts wer
nude to find it.
Tiik Skalks Jcitv. Thev had two larf
rooms on the first floor of the National Hotel, on

two officers. W were flay ing at the National
the last three dys of the trial. One morning,
aliout eight oVIim k, we were going to the bar
ber'a shop, hich was rext to the room occupied
by the jury, our ears were startled by tbi Bound
of a violin, and we heard the tramp of men as if
marching in quick step. Tho door of the room
w hence those aounds carao was opened, and a
colored boy was looking in and laughing; w
went forward and looked in also, and there vt
saw about a dozen men marching in single fiU
around the room, in front of whom was a man
playing the violin, another who had commanded
was giving orders "file left," "file right," for
ward, march," &c. Finally they marched into ax
adjoining room and took seats at a table on which
breakfast was spread. Wea-ked the colered lad
if they were soldiers, and if this was a recruit

"km am !; Siekh-a jury." IJotton Ail at mnd

A FiLMik'g Stout. At the Woodbury plow

up. We Lave one or two Ios4 fanner in oar
iieighborhoo i ; one of them, in fact, came from
Woodbury laughter ; but that is not the man I
am speaking of. He came up and said to me,
'That is a beautiful crop! bow did ee get it, iurV

says, that ju-t l-fore tho last war with England,

the desk of the sua was covered with black ipott
of ink, and comments swept the horizon with
