We understand that the information received here within the last twenty-four hours, from the best sources of political information im that State, is most hopeiul for the success of the National Union party in the coming election. Not only does the election of Clymer by a decided majority seem an asaured fact, but what 1s of more jational importance, there is good “prospect of reversing the pohtical complexion of the Con- ressional delegation of that State. The present delegation stands 16 Radicals to Conservatives. There isno doubt from the admission, even of the Radicals themselves; tbat this preponderance on their part will be much reduced, and well informed Politicians, Ot spt to be over sanguine, aver that the fig- ures will be fully reversed. A Conservative victory in Pennsylvania, as everybodg knows, will be echoed by one in ew York, and as go these great States so go the Union. ee FIELD OF FICEES APP@INTED.

U.S. Seyen Thirties THE BUSGO-FRANOO CREMAN SPEOK OF e preliminaries of péace between Prussia and Austria have hardiy been settled when there are ominous mutterings of another tem- pest of war amongst the Earopean Powers. The news comes that Russia is making large coneentrations of troops on the frontiers of Germany. Napoleon is actively engaged in putting his immense armies on what looks suspiciously like a war footing, and the utter- ances of the leading journals of France and Russia indicate that an understanding has been arrived at between those two great Powers to the effect that they must have a say in any matter affecting the balance of power in Europe. Bismark receives ‘a significant hint 'o pause in his ambitious attempt to enlarge the boundaries of Prussia and remodel the map of Europe. The Moscow Gazette devotes to this ques. tion an article that is attracting much atten. tion. The following are some of the principal passages : “Nobody in Russia, for the moment atleast, fears Prussia, even with her needle- €uns: but if that power places itselfat the head of all Germany, the Russian government will find *t impossible not to come to a reckoning with a State become so considerable. The sound policy of statesmen in Russia can never wait for a combination in which Prussia might be. come & Cangerous neighbor.” Therefore Rus- sia ought to take time by the forelock. Here is is the great point of the article, the writer of which enjoys a moral authority in Rusiia as great as that of the government. He says: “No! the policy of conquest peculiar to Count Bis. marck does not terrify us; but the augmenta- tion of the power of a neighboring State, and abore all the conditions of Evropean equilibriwin which are incessanily varying, imposes onus the necessity of demanding compensations proportioned 10 the situativa of Prussia in Europe.” The Gazette does not hesitate to advise Ruc- sia to profit by the occasion to seize the Grand Duchies of Posen, Which aré part of Prassia. This, of course, Would bring on a collision at once with Prussia, which Russia, not yet re. Covered from her exhausting war with the al- lies, would scarcely be willing to provoke single-handed; hence the moral certainty that she is acting in concert with France, and pos. gibly with Austria. Arrogant as Prussia is over her recent great military successes, she would not care to undertake a war with the three great Powers of France, Russia and Aus. tria: hence we may look for further complica, tions in European diplomacy, if not a fresh resort to arms, before the affairs of the conti- nent are crystalized. FEEEDMEN’S AFFAIRS IN KENTUOKY. Majer Gen. Jeff: G. Davis has forwarded to the Gommissioxrer of the Freedmen’s Bureau a report of the Inepector-ip-Chief of the Bureau in the State of Kentucky concerning its opera- tions in that district within the last three months. On the sndject of labor, the Inspector says that about ninety-five per cent. of the freedmen are industriously employed, whilst the remainder seem to prefer a life of vagrancy and idleness. Agents are direct?d to take charge of all these last, find employment for them, and compel them to work, thus giving them to understand that wey ‘will not be per- mitted to live upon the thrifty and industrious of their race. The inspector reports that in the southern and western portions of the State strong oppo- sition is manifested against the efforts made for the elevation and education of the blacks. At Glasgow, Bowling Green, Paducah and Mount Sterling, this opposition has been shown in outrages upon the schools, and has resulted in some injury to the cause. Preparations are making. however, by the officers of the Bureau to re-open such schools as have been discon- tinued by force. The prompt arrests of these offenders recently made, under the provisions of General Orders No. 44, Headquarters Armies of the United States, have had a very beneficial effect. A WOBD TO BOUNTY CLAIMANTS. Judging by the great number of claims that are daily received at the office of the Paymas- ter General, thom who believe’ themselves to be entitled to the bounty allowance under act of July 28th, 1966, entertain the impression that much will be gained by securing the entrance of their claims to file in the office at the earli- est possible day. Thisis anerror. The wise and the prudent among the claimants will de- fer remitting their claims and papers to the suthorit:es here until they learn the nature and requirements of the regulations which are to govern the payments of these claims. These regulations may materially affect the chacac- terand forms of application, in which case the last claims received wili. most probably: be the first settled, while those already on file may need to bereturned for necessary changes Nothing is gained to the claimants; but, on the contrary, much time may be lost, and the ex- amination and action upon the claims may be greatly hindered by over haste, in submitting them fer file. BEDUCTION OF SOLDIBRS’ PAY. During the rebellion, the pay of privates in the army was raised from $11 to $13 per month» and the clothing allowance from $2.50 to $6 per month, the increase to continue during the war. it is now stated in military circles, that in con- sequence of the failure of Congress to provide for a continuance of the enhanced pay in time of peace, one effect of the President's peace proclamation will be to reduce the pay of the soldiers, from and after the date thereof, to $11 per montb, and the clothing allowance to $2.5) permonth. The reduction also affects officers, as their allowance for pay and clothing is cor- respondingly diminished. As the peace proc- lamation was anticipated previous to the ad- journment of Congress, and the President had no option in the matter, the failure to provide for the soldiers adds another to the many sins of, omission jaid to the door of the present Congress. SMUGGLING IN THE OSWEGO DISTRICT. Late reports received at the Treisury De- partment from the Oswego district, New York: in reference to the prevention and suppression of smuggling, are more encouraging than those received in the early part of the year. Smug- gling is represented en having fallen off to a very great extent in the district, and a larger number of attempts to introduce smuggled goods are now frustrated and the goods seized- The collector has good reason to believe that arrangements ere now under way among smugglers calculated to give an impetus to the tyaMc, and thinks that it will require the vig- Hance of the Government autborities to coun- teract them. PARDONS GRANTED. The Presideat yesterday gave orders to have pardons jared and submitted for his sig- nature in cases of three persons, under the thirteenth exception, one in Alabama and two in Virginia. To-day, pardons were directed to be made for one North Carolinian, two Lonis_ janians, and one Alabaraian, all under the thirteenth exception (990,000 clause} excep, one, which came under the first exception of the amnesty prociamation, or petty civil office, clause.

Myererious DIsaArreEaARANCE — Supposed Case of Suicide —Yesterday about noon, Mrs Henrietta Tucker (the widow of James Tuck er, the blind idler, who will be remembered by mi of our citizens, and who died three or four years since) left her home on I street south, between 6th and 7th streets east, and the last seen of her by any of her triends or acquaintances was about one o'clock, when she was walking up 7th street east towards the avenne. Nothing was thought of her leay- ing ber home until several hours afterwards; but about sundown a note was found on tha mantle which was directed to her niece, who lives with ber, in which she said: «For years past I have been tried in the furnace of afflic- tion. and believe that there is no rest for me on this earth but in my grave beside my husband, and I am determined toseek it. [ commend my twe little girls to your care;” and she far- ther directs the neice to invest the money com- ing to the daughters for their benefit, ana closes by saying: ‘My will, which! will have written and signed to-day, will be found some- where.” Mrs. Tucker was regarded by her neighbors as an estimable lady but bas seen trouble in the past few years, especiaily since the death of her husband. Latterly she has been em- barrassed pecunisriy, and had got bebind in berrent. This is the third time that she has made an attempt to take her life, (if indeed sne has done so now,) the last time abouta year since, when she took alarge dose of laudanum, when she was rescued by Dr. #lcKim. who resides next door. It is thought that the re- ception of a messagea few days since from her landlord. or his agent, that unless she paid the rent due, ber property would be disirained, bas prompted her to commit suicide; at least when she received the message she remarked that she had trouble enougn and could not stand it any longer. Her friends and the police, who were in- formed ef the circumstances last night, are making every effort to obtain a clue to her whereabouts or the whercabouts of her body —_e—_—_.

Young Italy Coming Down a Peg. [Milan cor. (Ang. 6th) London Times} Although the campaign of 1866 cannot justly be styled discreditable to the Italian arms, either by land or by sea, the very impertectioa of ite success seems likely to have happy re. sults to the country by breaking down that fatal optimism to which this people is prone. in foreign countries the events of the war be. tween Austria and Italy have probably ex. cited little surprise, because there it was noi expecied that @ comparatively young army, under Generals none of whom had any ex- perience in wielding men by hundreds of thousands, would find it an easy matter to drive before it the Imperial troop-. As regards the navy, it was en entirely new creation, and probably no decided opinion has been formed Ot its probable success or failure, except, per- baps, by foreign naval officers who have had opportunities of observing it. But if neither Custozza nor Lissa greatly surprised foreigners, to Italians that caused very deep mortifica- tion, for they had hoped much better things. Their soldiers and*sa‘lors had bees extolled and exalted, and calied valiant ang heroic, by anticipauon; they had told them of the discontent and wretched condition of the Austrian troops and of their unwillingness to fight against Italy; the Austrian fleet had been treated with ridicule as a petty squadren, manned chiefly by Italians, more likely to pass over totheir countrymen than to fire upon them. The old biunders aad proved incapaci- ty ot Gyulal and other Generals in 1959 were cited asa proof of what might be expected from the commanders who were to be opposea toa La Marmora anda Cialdini; and so the hopes and expectations of the country, confi- dent also in the justice of its quarrel, were raised toa pitch which has rendered its dis- appointment doubly cruel. No army was ev « made efficient by premature praise, or by depreciation of its enemy; severe criticism and scrutiny are far more wholesome and effica- cious, although, bei less pleasant, they have been little resorted ere. The same may be said of the adminisfrations of variou part. ments, now suddenty discovered to be griev- ously defective and fauity.

It was sooner by five or six days than he intended; but it was at the recommendation, it is said, of his doctor, as this time the Vicy waters were rather a: rious than saluta-y. Since his return he bas been attended by one of the most eminent of the Paris surgeons. He suffers from an at- tack, painful, though fortunately not serious, of gout, with certain unpleasant circumstances which sometimes attend it; and this was a litte vated by cold caught after a tbath.
