wa rs chee ARRAN apg MELE neal The Balance of Power, : _ Phe London Times, in an article upon = to Eagiand whether any Western Power possessed a few square miles,, more or less, or held this. or. that fortress. Since the last settlement of Europe, States have come to maturity in the world which threatea to dwarf the ordinary members of the European sy the Powers: which the next generation avill look upon asthe most formidable. “The Times, is beginning’ to get some clear ideas a8 to the worthleesness of the “balance of power” policy. and the time is so near that the United States and Ruséia will dwarf the ordinary European nations, that it is not svorth while to longer attempt to keep up the equilibriam on the continent. By the end of this century, the United States, at the present rate of growth, will hold about the same relation to wards England, France, Prussia and Austria, that those nations now hold towards Holland, Belgium and Bavaria. ‘Phe terrible fighting done daring the civil war in the'U olted States, and the emerging from that straggle,somewhat nadiminished resources, at once opened the eyes of the Western Powers of Europe. Although loth to acknowledge > tanuetclose their eyes to ibe fact that the young Republic of the New World must-soon overshadow, in wealth, population and power, all the nations that have preceded “it. At the end of this century, Russia and the United States may be regarded as rivals in power, but with institutions and inreresté 80 diverse that there need be no antagonism nor jealousy ; but the more _rapid growth of the United States will place her, by the middle of the next centary, absolately without a rival on the planet. This fact is as well appreciated in Europe as in America ; they see further, that they Lave no power 16 change the course of events, hence ‘they may well abandon as “obsdlete Mississippi Litigant Bill. , We alluded some-deys.ago to.

Of course he can claim no right by virtue of being an American officer; but being one ‘of the most distinguished Americans that ever visited Europe,and a military commander of acknowledged ability, he is. not likely to be treated with CAPTURE oF S&ARBRUCKEEN. — A Paris dispatch: ammounces that the French forces crossed the frontier on the 2d instant. 7A few battalions carried the hights which overlook Saarbracken, when the artillery came up and drove the enemy from the town. The engagement commenced at eleven o'clock and ended at oné o’¢lock. . The French losses are said to have been slight, and we judge from the account that the affair is regarded ouly as a skirmish. The Prussians do not appear tohave made any determined resistance, and probably may have retired in obedience to orders. = the Republicans of the Third District of Ohio are determined to renominate Gen. Schétick, notwithstanting his published letter’ formally detlining the honor. ‘The Dayton, correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette telegraphs on the 25th ultimo: “I have the best authority for saying Preble county is a unit for Gen. Schenck. Sois Warren. He will get the whole of the Montgomery delegation, who will dispute his letter of declination. The conviction among the best informed is that the nomination will be unanimously tendered him, with an urgeut plea to accept it.” “Curious Errects or Heat.—The Washington Star of July 23d says: The power of the snn’s heat just now is very curious}y illustrated on the line of the street railway.

Chief Justice Pearson has refused a motion for an attachment against Colonel Kirk, and fora writ of habeas corpus for persons arrested in Almance county, under the proclamation of the Governor declaring martial law. The Chief Justice said the power of the Court was exhausted, and that be bad no power to enforce the writs.

About every other day we havea cable dispatch stating that the needle gan of the Prussians is superior to the chassepot, and once or twice the dispatches have told us that the latter was the superior weapon. No reliance cal be given to such statements, for they are
unquestionably mere surmises of correspondents. The chassepot rifle was selected by the French Government after a full trial of the merits of the “other iniproved the Pras ians havea gun far superior to the weapon which made such fatal havoc among the Austrians, ‘and. with which a portion of their army has been supplied.

The Abbeis an earnest believer in the antiquity of America, and to support his belief hedraws npon the sciences of gedlogy, chronology, philology, etc. He gives an interesting account of his explorations among the ruins of Mexican grandeur, and argues: that the language, civilization, arte and well as.of Europe and Africa, proceed entirely and without an exception from America. The nation called Celtic, he formerly existed between Europe and Americas, and which he calls Atlantis. The Abbe de Bourbourg gives out that he will soon publish an elaborate work on the subject. ‘ Parsrct CascaLty.—Several days ago, in.
