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

or not it has passedover his veto we
have not heard.. Alcorn is one ,of the

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.”

THE TROUBLES In NogTH CAROLINA.
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

about time for Judges to learn that in

right to:\declare martial law, when the

Tue NEEDLE GuN AND CHASSEPOT.
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

to the weapon which made such fatal
havoc among the Austrians, ‘and. with

Awenicas AntiIQuITIEs.—Prof. L.
Harper of Brussels sends the New York
World a long communication from Abbe
Brassear de Bourbourg,on the result
Mexico. 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. ‘
