EUROPE. ‘The pews report by the Atlantic cable is dated yester- day evening, September 22 Italy—national and Rowan—is agitated by what may be termed a grand triangular difficulty between Gart- baldi, King Victor Emanuel and the Pope. Garibald iasued an exciting address to his adherents, announcing that tho time bas come for a complete overthrow of the “tyranny”? of the Pope and to make Rome the capital. King Vietor Emanuel publishes a royal proclamation warning all Italians against the Garibaldian movement and announcing a rigorous punishment for those who may engage in it. The Pope is out with a denunciation of the act of the Italian Cabinet by which it is purposed to sell the Church lands for State purposes, and declares the government decree “null and void.” Prussia will, it is thought, retain hor hold on North Schleswig, The reporters of the newspaper press will, it ia said, be rigidly excladed from the meetings of the Pan-Anglican Church Synod in London.

The Mexicans have awakened, too, to the idea that the United States can no longer wait for them. They must take up their republican march with us, advance with us, drink in the energy of Westera enterprise with us, inaugu- rate an era of prosperity and progress, or they must sink before the nation afford to drag themalong. Their geographical position is such that the two nations must work in unity. The same great principles, internal, external and commercial, must govern both. Tf the Mexicans fail to appreciate these facts they will go down before the steady westward march of the North American. Adopting these truths as a political guide, they may pre- serve their territory intact, rise to a glorious future, and save us the work of building up a nationality there which will harmonize with us. The United States has her eyes on the Conti- nent. Spanish America must wheel into line. the gives hope of national stability. Genoral Diaz, the first military man of the country, absolutely refuses to lend himself to any opposition to President Juarez. In fact, General Diaz looks upon the President as a father; for he was educated under his eye, being a student at Oajaca, in the college of which Jusrez was principal. self from the foul forgeries which the Mata- moros Ranchero prefixed to his name, is in full support of Juarez, and will in Northern Mexico keep down any of the disturbing elements that may oppose the coming Presidential election. Juarez will undoubtedly be re-elected. In one sense this is necessary, that the Mexican people may show to Europe and the world that they endorse the acts of their President, and that he has ever been their choice, notwithstanding the statements of the friends and instigators of the empire. Of the sentiments of President Juarez and his good will towards the United States we cannot find a better illustration than in the letter—which we published. yesterday— to his friend, Antonio Flores.

Ourduty in the case is clear. Give the Mexioans a chance, and should they then fail they will force themselves into the United States, even were we disposed to prevent it. The Reconstruction Generals at Washing- and Hancock in Washington, in obedience to acall from General Grant, puzzles the politi- cians. The radicals, however, think it a good sign, while the copperheads are apprehensive of mischief from it, in widening the breach be- tween them and General Grant. We dare say, however, that the General-in-Chief, charged with the practical direction of all this business of Southern reconstruction, has simply called these subordinatg generals to Washington to give him all the information which they pos- sess on the subject, and that in the interval to the reasserfibling of Congress the work will go on quietly in the South, and that, with the meeting of the two houses, General Grant will submit to them a report on the progress of re- construction which will be satisfactory to the country, though not, perhaps, entirely satisfac- tory to the impeachment radicals.

Tho letters from our correspondents in Vir- ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas, published in yesterday’s Heraxo, offer but a gloomy picture of the actual state of 2 things in the South. The deep shadows of the Mexico-Her Political Elements Settling picture are relieved by very few rays of hope- sf eee fa} light, To be sure, it is » noteworthy fact The political element in Mexico, if we may | 41.44 in the alarm and confusion occasioned by ® sharp fight between United States soldiers and ex-rebels at Raleigh, North Carolina, ex- citing among the inhabitants a fear that the war of races had fairly begun, “none of the Africans in the city were involved.” Never- theless, the testimonies from all points concur that amicable relations between the whites and the blacks have been succeeded not only by a growing disposition to have as little to do with each other as possible, but also by a growing spirit of mutual enmity. Our correspondents are startled at finding that the vague notion of negro supremacy begins to assume a most ugly shape before the eyes of both ex-laveholder and exslave. It is gradually filling the imagi- nation of the one with dread and that of the other with extravagant and delusive hopes, and the hearts of both with ill-dissembled ha- tred. All this fatally indicates that a war of races is by no means such a chimera as some Northern philanthropists would fain believe. Nor is its possibility either so uncertain or so remote as all true philanthropists should desire. The disgraceful strife between the President and Congress should cease, if for no other rea- gon than to avert so direful war. The vast negro majorities which registration reveals in certain districts of the South might well awaken the apprehensions even of North- ern radicals if they were to reflect on the dan- ger of entrusting the balance of power to such masses of stupidity and ignorance. It is not surprising that gloomy apprehensions are enter- tained by the disenfranchised whites of the South. A curious instance at once of the igno- rance of the newly enfranchised negroes and of the impositions practised on them by dema- gogues like Hunnicutt is mentioned by our Richmond correspondent. He deems it safe to say that few of the negroes who, voting for the first time in Virginia, and, as some hold, ille- gally, voted that Richmond should subscribe two million dollara, her quota of the subsorip- tion to build the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail- road, knew what they were really voting for. One sable citizon when asked, “ Are you for the subscription or against it!” answered, “Skription! I’se done gib Mr. Hunnicutt nuff skription already and I aint gwine to gib eny mo.” “Showing conclusively,” says the corre- spondent, “two facts—the voter’s extreme igno- rance and Hunnicutt’s imposition.” He adds, that had the Great Mogul opposed it the negroes would have been as unanimous against “skription.” » Happily one oasis in the desert has been discovered by one of our correspondents in the thriving, industrious German settlement at New Braunfels, in Texas. He is inspired by it to prophesy the time, not far distant, when, if the clouds disappear from our political horizon, emigration shall cover these millions of waste acres with fertilizing tides- of life, and pros- perity shall shine upon the future homes of millions of earnest, toiling men. Even the squabbles and blunders of Washington poli- ticians cannot forever hinder predictions like these from being fulfilled. Farsighted capi- talistg should immediately prepare for the rapid and marvellous changes which emigra- tion, together with steam, electricity, and all the best appliances of modern cifvili- zation, will within a few brief years have wrought in what John Bright, in one of his speeches on America, described as “those beautiful States of the South, those regions than which the world offers nothing more fertile or more lovely.” When capital and labor, under the free system, shall once have fairly begun to flow into the Southern States, their prodigious natural advantages of area, soil, climate, hydraulic power, rivers, inexhaustible mineral wealth, and other cir- cumstances by which population and pro- gress are affected, will astonish the world. Before the war, large as the supply of eotton had become, and high as its price had risen, the supply was unequal to the demand, simply fpr want of labor. Emigration will provide labor, as well as capital and enter- prise to stimulate it. Ina short time the pro- duct of the cotton plant will be restored and doubled. The yield of the other Southern staples—rice, tobacco, sugar—which had been gradually lessening before the war, on account of the exclusive loyalty exacted by King Cot- ton, will also be restored and increased. Even during the brief period that a somewhat di- minished production of all these staples must be expected, that diminished production, as Sir Morton Peto has predicted, “will be satis- fied by enhanced prices, which will be borne by the consumers.” Thus, half of the immense cotton crop of 1850, amounting to five million three hundred and eighty-seven thousand bales, would bring, at double the prices then realized, as much money as the whole. It is consoling to know that bountiful nature will require but a few rolling seasons to repair the ravages of war and to counteract the evils of stupid and malevolent legislation. Let us hope that our national prosperity, which very largely depends upon the organization and de- velopment of Southern industry, will yet be fally restored. The Great DiMculty. The semi-religious organ of the ultra radi- cals, the Independent, recognizes in the jeal- ousies of the rival republican cliques and candi- dates for the next Presidency the great diff- culty which stands in the way of President Johnson’s impeachment. “Old Ben Wade,” if Johnson be removed, must take his place, and “Old Ben Wade,” on all hands, is distrusted as a self-willed and intractable old radical. Pro- moted to the White House, there is the danger that he may fall into the fever from which neither Tyler, Fillmore nor Johnson could es- cape. He may take it into bis head that he is entitled to a continuance in his snug office on his own account, and that possession is nine points of the law; and as this thing is not in the Chase radical programme, nor in the con- sorvative republican Grant programme, the difficulty of impeaching Mr. Johnson becomes a very serious matter.

The Military Visitors. . The distinguished military visitors now in the city aré having a live:y time in receiving the great number of friends who crowd in upon them, General Sheridan at Willard’s, General Sickles ‘at the Ebbit House, and General Hancock at the Metropolitan, are constantly surrounded by groups of friends reviewing the past, discussing the present avd speculating on the future, General Grant called on General Sheridan this morn- ing at his hote! and spent aa hour with him is conversa- lon, Western South America. The news from Colombia, Peru and Chile indicates that those countries are still far from settled in their politics, Colombia, just emerged from a revolution which was plotted in France and England, is about to be agitated by a new Presidential contest. There is, how- ever, some hope that it will be a peaceable one; for the great question—the Panams Railroad— which occasioned the late turmoil, is now set- tled. A committee of the House of Represen- tatives has brought in a bill of indictment for the impeachment of Mosquera, who will pro- bably be banished from the country unless his French and English friends assist him by creating political divisions among his oppo- nents. He having been overthrown while working in their interests, it is but just that they should now lend him a helping hand by intriguing ia hisfavor. Certainly the man who waa to erect in Colombia a barrier against the United States should not be deserted by his friends in the hour of adversity and complete failure. We recommend the ex-President to the tender care of Louis Napoleon and the English lords who made a tool of him. For Colombia we have much hope. The Panama Railroad and our growing American interests in those countries will soon be a sufficient guarantee for peace and a prosperous future. Turning to Peru, we find that the religion of the country hasstill too much hold on the State. Tn fact, of all Spanish American countries Pera is the most steeped in bigotry. In the corrup- tions.which have been engrafted by religious rule upon the political eloments we find the principal troubles which environ that State. Her finances, once in a healthy condition, are now reduced to zero. First, we have a reli- gious revolution and the shifting scenes incident to the changes of party defeator victory. Again, we have the minor revolutions which spring from the attempts of poverty to: grasp at some financial bubiles blown into bright colors by some ambitious leader. Spain, clinging to her old colonial hopes, adds fuel to the fire, while the foreign element, taking advantage of the vice born of war and misery, contributes, by the smuggling system, to the general demorali- zation. In Chile thoy prepare for the Spanish war, uncertain if they are to have war ornot. Their finances are in as troubled a condition as are ours; and their Treasury Department appears to be managed with equal imbecility, for they cannot tell whether they have a debt of thirty- one or forty-two millions of dollars, We have adopted as a principle nov-inter- vention in foreign affairs. That principle was all very well while our national child was getting its growth. It may, as a rule, still be of value with reference to Europe; but the time is rapidly approaching when it will be impossible for us to abstain from interference in Spanish-American countries. They are so intimately bound to us, pursuing, as they are, fhe same republican principles, that we must work together. Trade, commerce, steam com- munication, telographs, and all the elements of progress which bind us, will soon force us to break a rule which answered very well for us fifty years ago, but absolutely fails to fit the case to-day. The Campalan in Ohio. A gentleman in this city has received a letter from the Secretary of the Ohio State Central Committee, in which he states that it is estimated Ohio will elect General Hayes, the republican candidate for Governor, by forty thousand majority, and that the suffrage amendment to the constitution will also be carried, with what estimated majority ia not stated. ‘The Ohie Senatorship. It is aaserted that drafts to a heavy amount have been received in Washington from Ohio to be used in secur- ing the election of Judge Dennison as Senator to suc- ceed Bon Wade.

An order has been issued discharging betwoen forty and fifty clerks and messengers now om- ployed in the branch of the Adjutant General's Office in charge of Brigadier General Breck. Some twonty-five of tho above are what is known as “goreral service” men, enlisted to perform the duties of clerks. The re- mainder are civiliaas. Fitz John Porter’s Application for a New Trial. General Grant has referred to Attorney General Stan- bery certain questions bearing upon the application of Major General Fitz John Porter for the appointment of a new board to revise his case, together with a letter written to General Grant by Major General Pope against the application.

Noone was soriously hurt and no arrests have ‘been made. Miles O'Reilly at the White House. General Charles G. Helpine te day visited the Presi- dent and had a long conversation with him ig reference to the federal officers in New York. New Cotton Regulations. The Interna! Revenue Bureau has issued new reguia- tions concerning the weighing and marking of cotton, the assessment and collectiou of the tax, and the removal of cotton under bills of lading, from which it appears that cotton removed under a bond executed prior to the 1st of Septomber, when the bond does not expire until after that date, is subject to the rato of tax (three cents per pound) in force prior to that time. The tax other- ‘wise is two and a half cents per pound from Septem- ber 1, The fee for weighing and marking cotton, inctuding the labor of inserting the metallic tag will be twenty-five conts a bale until otherwise ordered, It having boon found by experience that the farnishing of increased facilities for tne removal of cot- ton without the prepayment of tax is consistent with increased security to the Treasury, it is determined to substitute shipments to the revenue officers under bills of lading, for the bonds heretofore required. When a collector is obliged to retain the custody of the cotton consigned to him on account of failure to pay the tax immediately on its arrival, he shall cause the same to be stored in some suitable warehouse, the owners of which shall have given adequate security for the safe custody of such cotton, and shall take a warehouse receipt from such proprietor. The charge for storage must not exceed the usual rates in the place. The collector will in no case permit the owner of the cotton, his agent or factor, to have actual possession of the same unti! the tax shall have been fully psid. If the tax 1s not paid before the expiration of the ninety days from the date of the assessor’s permit, the assessor will at once certify the tax to the collector for collection, and, if necessary, the Collector will enforce the collection by distraint and sale of the cotton. In such case the assessor will enter the tax on bis next monthly list, and both he and the collector will enter the proper credit in the bonded account under the heading (to be made for that purpose) of “Collected by distraint and sale of cotton.” When owners or holders of cotton desire to pay the taxes on the same before its removal from the district im which it was produced, they will be required to have the same weighed, marked and tagged in the manner prescribed. Every manufacturer or consumer must, on or before the last day of each month, pay to the collector the amount of tax assessed against him upon all the cotton consumed by him during the pre- ceding months on which no tax has been paid, which amount, subject to no deductions, must be entered on the above mentioned form, No, 76, and certified to the The Dean Richmond Disaster. It is remarkable that it ehould etill be doubtfal whether any passengera were lost by the recent criminal collision on the North river. The public are assured that the only lives sacrificed were those of some subordinate boat hands; but this assurance is a suspicious one, since it comes from those who seem to feel it their interest to present the story in its least horrible light. All the probabilities strengthen the thought that many passengers sleeping in the berths in the lower cabin must have lost their lives. Men sleep very heavily in such places—partly on account of the bad air, that puts them into a semi-asphyxiated condition, and partly, perhaps, because many do not go to their berths on such trips till they have taken more whiskey than is consistent ‘with an easy awakening. Such men sleeping in the lower berths—sometimes on the floor— would be drowndéi with a few feet of water in the cabin ; and it is hardly possible that many were not lost in this way. Something toward the solution of this doubt might be done by the publication of the passenger list. Where is the list of names that is taken by the clerk of the boat as he sells tickets? Is that con- veniently lost? Its pubiication now might immediately account for the whereabouts of men who are missing, without their families having any such definite knowledge of their recent movements as connecis them with the disaster. It appears that we shall not have any investigation of this disaster till the slow pro- cess of @ coroner’s inquest comes on when a body shall be taken out. This is a defect in our law; for before the facts are inquired into tcoueded to ibe i dese (expres 9 me the the material witnesses will be quite lost sight of, SS hy ae Frade aa SS tees eae, to say nothing of the time that will be given to | mater. shave are many of the codees Waied Have Bese thor interested in emothring the truth or | Sibi hice, be, wa od, eet ee coloring it to shield guilty parties.
