If a war is to be brought to a speedy
and successful close, and the horrors
of warfare controlled, and limited,
as far as the nature of such strug
gles will allow of, it is barbarous in
a great civilized power not to use
the utmost expedition to prevent
the spreading of bloodshed and dis
order. It is more merciful to be
severe at first, and that a compara
tive few should suffer and a small
portion of country be overrun, than
to let the disorder spread till a
whole nation must be laid waste,
and the first-born of every family
taken. We believe, had Enirland

country, of the impression, so gen
erally entertained, of the worth of
the Rugby lands. Disappointed,
because incapable, men have done
their worst to injure Rugby and
everything in collection with it, and
in the absence of the Loard defend
ing its interests, the grumblers and
incapables have been credited with
speaking the truth.
No private business concern will
grow, or long flourish, unless it be
well and constantly attended to, and
its objects kept continually and
prominently before the public ; how
necessary then it is the Board,
with its immense interests, should
by judicious advertisement and
representation, in this country and
the old,- keep before the reliable
emigrating classes the true char
acteristics of their lands, and the
many advantages possessed by Rug
by not dreamed of in other settle
ments of a generation's growth.
In consequence of a false start,
with much promise of success,
Rugby has fallen back into the.
ruck, and has not, as yet, "aocuied
a place" in the running, but there
holding offices, and we do not see
why there need be, if the records
read well, but it is a wise provision
to overhaul the public servants
occasionally, to see that no round
man has got into a square hole, or
a square man into a round hole. If
a wrong man has got into a wrong
box, we don't doubt that next Thurs
day the right man will be put into
the right place.
The business outlook for the re
mainder of the present year is very
encouraging all over the country.
It has hardly ever been better in
East Tennessee. The prospect of
good crops, the growth of manu
facturing interests, the completion
of new railroad connections and the
development of new mining interests,
are the foundations of this cheerful
hope for the future. Prices for farm
products will be remunerative, and
our farmers will be encouraged to
edouble their efforts for the future.

' Do you know that, if every man,

England is busy in all her military
workshops, and her camps and
arsenals are moving hives of warlike
industry. She has brought her hand
down upon the disorder threatening
her interests and vitality in the
East, and will not remove it until
order has been restored. She is
able to do the work she has taken
in hand, and she will do it, but she
evidently feels there is a long and
arduous work before her, as all her
preparations betoken.

mile in France, Belgium and the
Netherlands the three countries in
Europe where there is more univer
sal prosperity among the masses
and from whence there is scarcely
any emigration. I believe there is
nothing more conducive to happiness
than a dense agricultural population,
where the people are the owners of
the lands. In the countries above
named the feudal laws have given
place to land tenure similar to our
own, and but for the high taxes in
cident to wars and standing armies,
the peasantry of those countries
would be in a very prosperous con
dition. To allay the fears of the
timid ones, who are scared at the
thought of a dense population, please
copy the following extracts. Here,"
said Mr. Procter, taking some books
from his library and turning to cer
tain passages, " is a work published
by the Unned States Department of
State on the state of labor in Europe,
from reports of the United States
Consuls in Europe. Referring to
the condition of the peasantry, the
report says : 'For these reasons, the
work people of France, with as little
remuneration and as scanty fare as
those of almost any other country,
are the happiest and most contented
labor population in Europe.
As a general rule, and viewed from
a purely material standpoint, the
French farmer, small as well as great
proprietor, is better off than his
brother agriculturist in America.
It is well known that the peasantry
of France held the bulk of the
French bonds. The Netherlands is
a country in part wrested from the
sea. Much of the sou was origin
ally unproductive. JNo coal nor
minerals are there to enrich the
country, yet the Consular report
says: 'In this country, upon an area
of somewhat more than 20,000
square miles' (about one-half the
size of Kentucky) 'there live four
million of people. There perhaps
can not be found elsewhere an equal
number, occupying a similar urea,
in which a larger amount of wealth
at Chicago are discouraged by the
prospect ot a six-hundred-million-
bushel wheat crop. Marion (0.)

FOIilUGN.
During the past week the follow
ing news has reached this country
from Alexandria. Arabi Pasha re
ported in his official account of the
battle before Alexandria having
sunk eight British iron-clads, two
burned and a few more captured.
The British troops had a slight
collision, on Saturday, with Arabi's
soldiers, who were engaged in de
stroying the railroad to Cairo,
eight miles from Alexandria. The
Egyptians were driven away after
losing many men. The Khedive has
declared Arabi Pasha a rebel. A
detachment of GOO British troops,
on Monday, had a sharp encounter
with the enemy, defeating them, and
entrenching themselves at Ramlch.
The report that the British troops
looted the palace at Ramleh is
totally false. Queen Victoria has
called out the reserves. The
British ritle team who are to come
to this country to compete in the
Rifle match, have been selected.
The Hon John Pright has resigned
his position in the British Cabinet.
Earl Kimberly, it is expected, will
succeed him. Mr. Bright resigned
on acconnt of his well known peace
principles, which he has been con
sistent in observing throughout his
political life. The President of
Costa Rica is dead. A conflict
between railway laborers and peas
ants in Hungary resulted in fourteen
persons being killed. r-ihrce hun
