We have not merchant vessels equal to the task of carrying the trade of our owa country, The result of the war will be to block up all foreign vessels except those carrying a neutral flag, and they are very few outside the merchant marine of England. But England is determined that, unless forced by the most extraordinary circumstunces, she will keep her flag neutral in this war, and will secure the carrying trade on the ocean, Her commercial interests are so immense that she must remain at peace. It would not go very hard with her even to forfeit her pledged honor or to shirk her treaty obligations pro- vided she could maintain ber mercantile supremacy on the seas. That she will do this at all hazards we may be assured. Now, where do we stand, the second maritime uation in name ? By 2 series of gross blunders committed by our “patriotic” Legislature during the war we are left without a mercliant marine, Our ships were transferred to foreign flags, and 80 ; ingeniously anti-American were the nivances of Congress that we cannot get them back again. Under the present laws of this | loyal and patriotic Congress we are prohibited from purchasing a foreign vessel. Not even the ships that we sold to foreign Powers dur- ing the war, when a weak policy compelled us to put American vessels under the foreign fiag } of Great Britain, can we buy back again. We cannot build vessels, because the mate- i rials for shipbuilding are so laden down with import duties that we cannot afford to compete with the shipyards of England and Scotland. It is impossible for us to build iron ships or steamers, bocause, forsooth, the iron interests of Pennsylvania have to be protected. In fact, the largeat industrial interest in the country is cramped and crippled in order that a merely local interest may be fostered. A few years ago our shipyards resounded with the busy hun of industry. They are silent to-day. A few years ago flag could be met on every floating decks bnill in our own dockyards. To-day and for the last ten years the Stars and Stripes have been com- paratively a rare sight greeting the morning san upon the ocean or saluting him as he dipped into the waves at evening. But it is nothing rare to see the British flag aloft over American ships built in the dockyagds | of New York and Boston, They are plenty enough. What a pififal thonght! What a humiliating reflection for the people of a great maritime nation, which has no sec in means and opportunity to be the greatest | shipbuilding country in the worle And yet by a wiserable system of legislation our shipping interests have been annihilated at home, and we are left to play the part of | paupers upon the ocean, begging shelter and | recognition from foreign flags. All this Congress had done for us during the war; but now an opportunity is offered by the disturbances in Europe to retrieve these blunders. The President saw the oppor- | tunity and he promptly called the attention of Congress to it, begging of them to remain even for one day in session, in order to repeal the restrictive laws with regard to the purchase of foreign vessels, and thus enable us put pur merchant marine on an even footing with onr rivals. Congress would not heed the President’s snggestions, Their carpe bags were packed to go. and go they would— these paltry fellows, who, having made all they could out of their Congressional service, were only too glad to let the dearest interests of their country take care of themselves. What eared they for the greatness of the nation? What, in fact, do most of them know about it? It will not do, however, to put the whole blame upon the republican portion of Congress because they were in the majority; the demo- { eratio members conld have sustained the | President's message if they chose. They bad } strength enough, by casting a ciabhingersal vote, to retain Conge in session and give an | opportunity to discuss the President's views. We cannot accept the flimsy excuse that the President’s euggestions were set aside upon the pretext of protection {o home industry. What industry? Where is there any industry in a single shipyard of the country? To help native industgy would be to reduce the tariff on shipbuilding materials from their present ritinous rate. To increase the bustle and bealthy trade of our dockyards and piers and wharves wonld be to permit as to buy back the ships we were compelled to sell during the war. For this purpose the President should call an extra session of Congress al once, or else the spleadid opportunity offered by the warlike status in Europe to restore our mercantile murine to its former dition will be Jost, shamefully con- our sea, over to Tervivle Effects of the Heat. Upwards of sixty cases of sunstroke oe- curred in New York city on Monday, the hoi- teat day of the present heated term. On that day the average temperature was ninely de- attained, Brooklyn, Newark, Hoboken, Puil- adelphia, Baltimore and other towns have also { sacrificed daily numerous victims to the blaz- ing sun. These terrible effects of the heat should yearn all, not only against direct exposure to the sun’s rays, but against every excess that can aggravate the general prosiration of the sys- | tem at this trying season, To walk the dis- ta of a single block, even on the shady side | of the street, is now equivalent to running throe times that distance in winter. It might | People | should now carefully abstain from violent ex- ercise, from fiery and poisonous liquors, from | * anger and other evil passions, and, as far as | possible, from worry and exhausting work. | They should indulge but very moderately in iced | water and mineral drinks.

Even invalids and the aged may hope, with suitable care, to survive the most terrido summer heats that have ever afflicted New York. For fifteen years such hot weather has not raged here, and special precautions against it are indispensable, both for man and beast, Frauco~Wha The Position of ib te Biume ? , No statement touching the war is more flagrantly impudent and unjust than that accredited to the Loudon 7'imes—that ‘France, withont a shadow of excuse or justification, plunges Burope into war.” Qn the contrary, regarding the situation from an impartial slandpoini, it does not appear that France is without justification ; so far from it, it in fact appears that France could not without humili- ation stand in any other position than that she now holds. France had to ‘‘put her foot down” somewhere in regard to Prussian encroachment, ‘just as Europe, rather more than balf a century since, Was compelled to draw a line of limit for the. ambition of the great Corsican. | Indeed, Prugsia now holds toward the peace of Europe the same relation relatively that the great Corsican held ; it is an ambitious, restless, turbulent power, which rospecis no law but that of immediate force, and essays the career of supreme arbiter of the Continent. Naturally Prussian machina- tions since 1866 have bad special relation to Franee, because France is the only obstacle, and the latest of these machinations was that toward the Spanish throne, France knew the true source of the movement and went at once to Berlin, ignoring such mere tools as Leopold and Prim. Upon the demand of France the | King of Prussia withdrew the consent he had given to Hobeuzollern to accept the throne of Spain. Was that enough? Suppose that France, npon this satisfaction, had sent her iroops into garrison again and relin- qnished her war appropriation, The | last drum tap would not have passed from the public ear before some other German prince, under the patronage of Prussia, would have come up for the vacant throne; and then whatever the King of Prussia might have pledged or promised, in view of the candidacy of Hohenzollern, would not have covered that case. Neither would the pledge with regard to Hohengollern and the with- dvawal of that offensive candidate have cormmitted Prussia against future intriguing in Spain in any other shape. France, therefore, jer not to be ridiculous, had to assume a position and demand a pledge that would cover every possible point in the case. It was not merely the candidacy of Hohenzol- lera that she objected to; it was not even the candidacy of any German prince; it was the appearance of Prussia beyond the Pyre- nees; it was the assumption of this Power | to pass her natural limits in Europe and to appear in Spain as if it were a German duchy, to bargain for thrones under the very nose of F France was fully jus- tified, in mating an indignant protest against this; and because it had occurred once she was justified in assuming that it would occur agein; and, therefore, in demanding from Prussia such a formal, open renuancia- tion as would serve for a guarantee and the matier definitely. his is her demand. and this renunciation Prussia refuses to make, although in withdrawing the assent given io Hobeuzoilern she recog- nizes the right of France to interfere, The | fact is Prussia placed herself ina false position wheu she ventured where France had the right to cali her in question, as she had in this Spanish matter; and because Prussia was in a false position France has her on the hip, diplomatically speaking; and we should not be surprised to sec Prussia even yet coucede the demand of France, and thus prevent war, The Slavery Question in Cubs. The agitation on the subject of the abolition of slavery in Cuba has already been opened. At the request of the Captain General a large pumber of planters assembled at the palace to disenss the question. This movement on the part of De Rodas, in calling together those most directly concerned in the employment of slave labor, was the result of instructions veceived from Madrid, and is therefore entitled to a greater degree of consideration than if the meeting was the result of a voluntary more- ment. ft shows that, Spain is becoming grad- ually alive to the necessi of greater liberty in her colonial possessions. Jt canuot, how- ever, be forgotten that a short time after the Cuban rebellion broke out the revolutionists took the question under consideration and boldly declared that slavery in Cuba was for- ever at anend. Little or no notice was taken of this at the time by the Spaniards, and but slight attention was bestowed on the act by outsiders. The seed then sown, however, is now beginning to bear fruit, and we findin the recent act of the Captain General an acknow- ledgment that the abolition of slavery has become a necessity in the island. There ilttle doubt * that the question was re- ceived with ill favor by the planters, who regard the movement as hostile to their inte- resis. This feeling Is not concealed. It is open aud determined, and may lead to serious consequentes—not open, it is true, but of a character that wil! increase the perplexities and annoyances by which the Captain General already finds himself surrounded. Add to the insubordination of the volunteers the secret hostility of the planters, and the situation will prove detrimental to the interesis of Spain in the Antilles. Instead of two conflicting ele- menis in the island there will be three, A house divided against itself cannot stand. Should the planters and those opposed to the | abolition of slavery maintain their position in opposition to the wish of the home govern- ment they but hastens the day when the inde- pendence of Cuba m wledged, Tne Gop Sprevration tN Watt Sreeer.— Yesterday the ‘‘bulis” in gold, who comprise the foreign bankers as a class, and a host of emall outside speculators, ran gold up to 123¢ on the report of a fresh panic in London with a decline of five-twenties to 80. In endeavor- ing to take advantage of this the ‘‘butls,” in selling, broke the price in ten minutes from 123§ to 122, Should the speculators in the Gold Room find at last that they have been all the (ime treading on very slippery ground they cannot say efter such fluctuations that they have not had timely warning. ‘up a row in Rome. The Real Attitude of Italy. “Italy ?” said a celobrated Austrian states- man, interrogatively, inthe haughty days of overwhelming power and overweening pride gone by. “Italy is but a geographical expres- sion!” Tho fair peninsula was then subdi- vided into three or four kingdoms and half a dozen petty duchies, with a province or two belonging to outside Powers, To-day she is all united from the Alps to the end of the boot in one government, excepting the States which still recognize the Sovereign Pontiffas their sole supreme temporal ruler. Her population now, even with that exception remembered, is about 27,000,000 souls, and her superficial area more than 100,000 square miles. Her army, which in 1848 amounted in Sardinia, the only section of her then subdivided terri- tory that seemed national, to only 50,000 men, now consists of 425,000 men in all, for field operations, of which the number ready for immediate mobilization is 280,000. The new organization of 1869, when brought into full effect, will limit the entire army, on g war footing, to 400,000, with a reserve of 220,000, thus giving an extreme total of 620,000 men. But the military budget has been cut down to 140,000,000 lire, or francs, and thus restriots the army on a peace footing to 173,000 men. The purely available force that could now be got together for immediate action would therefore not greatly exgeed two hundred thousand. But this is quite sufficient to guard the passes of @ mountainous frontier and hold in check a far superior force, with the advan- tages of the railroad network inthe defender's favor on a narrow territory. The artillery force is in fine drilland discipline, and the cav- alry and chasseurs (cacciatori) are excellent. The terrific struggle at San Martino, where the Italians for hours, in only moderate force, sus- tained the brunt of nearly the whole Austrian army, and prepared the way to the final vic- tory won by the French, proved the skill, steadiness and tenacity of her young bat- talions. The Italian navy consisted in 1867, of 104 vessels, manned by 20,627 men, and carrying 1,197 guns. Of these 24 were iron-clads of 12,480 collective horse power and 448 guns; 20 were screw steamers, of a total force of 6,780 horge power and 544 guns, and 25 were sidewheel steamers, of 6,050 horse power and 118 guns. There were also 12 screw trans- port steamers. During the last three years, some of the finest vessels afloat have been added to this force, and, stung by the sinking of the Red'Italia by the Austrians in the Adriatic, tho Italiana have strained every nerve in bringing their navy to the highest point of proficiency, and they have succeeded far enough to excite the wonder of the French at the noble craft thoy have built in the vicinity of Gonoa, and the destructive completeness of their arma- ments, American captains recently from the Mediterrancan affirm that some of the newest ‘Ttalian vessels quite equal, if they do not sur- pass, our world-famed Baltimore clippers in strength and beauty of model. In manufac- tures and the industrial arts, in scientific in- vention, in public education and improved agriculture the Italians have made itamense pro- gress since 1866, and Genoa, Leghorn, Naples, Ancona and Venice have resumed much of their ancient maritime activity. Were it not for the political factions that still conspire to agitate and disorder her finances,.Italy would compare favorably, at this moment, with countries where the continual boast is of strength and progress. But her factions and finances make her two weak points, and it is as much as the government can do to keep them from disastrous catastrophes. Italy, therefore, desires peace. Her crops are short, excepting in fruit and silk, which she wishes to sell to the rest of the world, and she is completely taken up with new rail- roads, canals, tunnels and lines of steamships for Oriental and American trade. War to her at this juncture would be a calamity and her statesmen will do their utmost to keep out of it, But should the French by the exigencies of the situation be con- strained to call in all their available force, and so withdraw their troops from Rome, the occupation of that city by Victor Emanuel and its announcement as the temporal capilal of Italy would alone save the Italian monarchy, while, on the other hand, the expulsion of the Pope or his retention as a prisoner, could hardly fail to bring on fearful disscnsions and convulsions in all parts of Christendom. Hence, in reference to a general war, it is self-evi- dent that Italy really holds the key of the position, and thatit is only by the calmest sagacity and the most quiet yet rigid and determined neutrality that she can avoid the risk of anarchy at home, and the frightful spectacle of a universal war that would again trample down the new-blown bloom of her lovely fields, and again make a Golgotha of her fairest provinces and her most venerable cities. The classic ifalos or quiet ox from which the idea of her national name was taken may have mighty strength and strong spreading horns to hurl back the unprovoked aggressor from his grazing grounds, but when the eagles and the lions with the lesser birds and beasts of prey are raging in combat together he would be wisest in leaving them alone in their bloody and self-destructive mad- ness, Infallibiity and the Situation at Rome. By despatches from Paris we are informed that as soon as the result of the vote on the infallibility dogma was made known to the French government orders were prepared for issue recalling the French troops from Rome. Simultaneously despatches arrive from Rome announcing an anticipated attack on the city by the liberals. While the news of the with- drawal of the French garrison may be pre- mature, il is quite likely that, az an incident of the war, Franco will withdraw her troops from the Eternal City. The infallibility dogma was never: popular with Napoleon. It was placing a sovereign above sovereigns— elevating the Supreme ‘Ponti! to a position among Catholic “nations where in laying down codes of morals he might exercise temporal authority to a cer- tain extent that would clash with the aims and policy ofthe rulers. Infallibility, then, is un- palatable in Paris, and we need not be sur- prised to see the Pope dealt rather coldly with. Whether the French troops are re- moved or not, the Garibaldi people will as- suredly take the opportunity of the war to get So that. between his in- fallibility, the possible loss of his Gallic do- fenders and the hostility of his “red” enemies, the Pope is not ina very enviable position, We do not wonder that he hesitates about the time for proclaiming the dogma, This would, indeed, be a most inopportune moment for that ceremony. Tho War News from Europe. As yet no war. Still the war situation remains, All over Europe the excitement continues, It is expected that some days will remain before the first battle can take place. France, if we may judge from the news before us, has not given up the hopes of revolutioniz- ing South Germany. It is undeniable, how- ever, that South Germany has gone in with Prussia, That French sympathizers exist in South Germany we cannot doubt. But the great fact that Bavaria and Wurtemborg and Baden and Hesse have fully and without ques- tion complied with the terms of their joint military treaty with Prassia speaks volumes as to the focling of the South German popula- tions, Earl Granville bas been to Paris, and for hours has been closeted with the Emperor. Earl Granville’s mission must be regarded as the most important item in the news of this morning. Wheretore went he to Paris? Why was he forso many hours closeted with the Emperor? King William calls the world to witness that ho is not to blame for this war. According to him French demands have been such that he bad no choice but say ‘‘No.” Until we hear that the first gun has beon fired, or until we learn the result of Marl Granville’s mission, judgment must be suspended. In nny minds there is a lingering suspicion that explanations may yet make useless all the costly preparation for war. We have no good proof that this suspicion rests on a good basis. American sentiment, which, so far as it has been expressed, has been in favor of Prussia, seems to have produced some effect in Ger-. many. The voice from beyond the seas, the voice of the brave German people in America, who, in spite df the distinctions of creed, have seen in Prussia the champion of German unity, has given King William comfort and courage. Neither combatant yet backs out, but both hesitate to fire tho first shot, The situation is as lively as ever, but it is not ma- torially changed since yesterday. O9BITUVUART. Auron Vanderpoel. fx-Judge Aaron Vanderpoel, a New York public man, well known and esveemed, died last evening of generat decline produced by the boat, He was born on the 5th day of February, 1799, in the town of Kinderhook, where he resided with his parents until 1811, when*he went to live with his brother James, in the village of Kinderhook, and there began his classical studies, and continued there until May, 1814, when his brother placed him under the charge of Levi Gleason, a most celebrated teacher in hs day, aad the priucipal of Lenox Academy, then one of the best institutions of the kind in New England. In the early part of 1816 he commenced the study of the lew in the office of his brother, the late Judge James Vanderpoe!, in the village of Kinderhook, where he remained until May, 1820, when he was admitted to the bar, and imme- diately thereafter formed a professional connection with him tn Kinderhook, where he pursued his pro- fession (excepting the period of his absence in the State Legisiature and tn Congress) until 1839, when he visited Kurope, and, on his return, finally located himseif in wie ciiy ‘of New York, iu March, 1241, which was the expiration of his Coagresstonat carcer, During all this tie his practice was very lunge aud lucrative, and he occup ed a very prominens place as a counsellor and an advocate.

The citizens (Texans) forming the train had gone to this spot for the purpose of haullug wood, but had no authority to be there, the Colonel having no knowledge of their belng in the vicinity. Tne {Indians visited other parties in the same viclaity, but as they were weil armed they were not molested. Farther south the Indians met two other men, who, being unarmed were killed; also a number of c¢attie, Cheyenne and Kio arrows were found in the bodies of the men and cattle, and all signs and evidences indicate the murders and depredations were committed by those Jndians, The Colonei, upon. receiving information: sent troops m pursuit of them, who found thetr trail and followed it into the mountains, where the In- dians made thelr escape. On the night of the same day a party of white inen atiempted to steal some horses belonging to the Colonei’s command which were separated from the cavalry lines on account of distemper &c. Tue guard halted them, when they fired upon him. The fire being promptly re- turned, they sepafated and yode around outside of thecamp. As 9 namber of them were passing in the rear of the commanding officer's narters. they fired several shots and escaped in the darkress. ‘They are @ portion of @ gang of thieves of which @ number haye been killed aad captured lately, The Cneyennes aud Kiowas are encamped becween the Salcand North forks of the Red river, and the Colonel thinks a strong force in that Your wil have @ benerictal effeor in giving the irendly indians an opportunity of separa tag trom those who are hostile. General Grierson, under date of June 14, writes that on account of the high water in the streams, owing to the continued rains, and the uon-arrivat of the horses for the Tenth cavalry from Fort Leavenworth, certain contemplated” movements have been delayed. Upon the arrival of the horses he would increase the force patrolling south of and along the line of tne Red river or organize a force and move out 98 contempiated. ‘the Indians have had their “medicine dance” on the north fork of the Canadian, and althoush a number of Cheyennes W.re there to induce tne Incians of the Fort Sil reserve to unite and go on the Warpath a general feeling of peace prevailed among the chiets and head men. But since then a delegation of Chey- eanes, with, it is reported, some Sioux, have come south endeavoring to influence the Kiowas and Comanches to combine and join them against the whites. Although they have not effected this result many young men of both trives are now abseat from. toe reservations, and are believed to have gone on raids into Texas. It is the object of the Cheyennes to provoke a hostility to tie indians which will drive them ali on the warpath. General Grierson does not, however, believe that ® genera! combina- tion can be eiected with tie Indians of the Fort Sill reservation. Four chiefs were there at the date of his report, and expressed their deicrmination to ree main peaceabie. VIRGINIA. * Tragedy at Chester—A Man Shoots a Son- in-Law for Seducing a Daughter.
