A Paris Journal on hulbtishe Troubles.
The Journal des Vebats, in one of its latest numbers, eaye:
All Europe watches the development of
the great American drama with anxiety;
. but nowhere isa compassion manifested
. like in France. This cannot well be otherwite. The French asa nation are thoroughly Democratic, aud cannot look on with
indifference when a people with whom they
have so great a spiritual affiujty, battle for
freedom. Who can but admire the United
. States? In a country with sixteen times the
. area of France, the popolation duubles in
. twenty-five yeare, while France requires
. two centuries for such a process. The pro. gress it makes stands witbout precedents in
. history. Who, then, wonld not feel com
. passion when everything all of a sudden ap. pears to be in jeopardy?
But it cannot be denied that in all the
, countries of Europe there are people who
are not only content, but really glad to see
. the rupture of this great Union of States,
. “These proud Yankees,” they ery, “who
_would ackoowledge as their equals, and
. meant to dictate their laws to the whole
. world, are now to be humiliated, and the
Republic, the Democracy are done for!’ —
_ Let os see whether this way of reasoning
and thie joy are justifiable,
America is great through ite abundant
. Wealth, its energy, its intelligence. When
, We measure civilization by the generality
. of intellectual culture, the pureness of morals and moral power, by wealth and the degree of liberty, we are foreed to ackuowledge that the American people are the most
Civilized on earth, And should we rejoice
. over the destruction of such a civilization?
Setting aside everything more stblime, we
. cannot well forget the solidarity of nations,
. No people staud isolated.
. different to the other. When America suf. fers, Europe suffers likewise. Is America
. to be ruivued?—then we must expect to be
rained also. The yearly importations of
the American Republic amount to thou
sands of millions, How would it be if our
. exports were to sink to half the present
shipments, or were to cease altogether? Fu.
. gland and France, Germany, Belgium aud
. Switzerland would get into a horrible situ;ation, out of which political agitatious
would arise, more dreadful than those which
. occur now in the United Statcs, more terrible than all which the world has yet wit. vessed. Lyons and Birmingham, St. Etienne
and Mauchester, Mublhausen,
Augsburg and Brossels---what would they
. do with their etarving millions?
. if this civil war should cause an
. of such a disaster makes one’s bair etand on
jend, No, gentlemen, the mere pleasure of
. seeing the proud American nation humili
ated would be bought a little too dear by
the ruin of Europe.
.
.
. It is ou the American Democracy, its ex.
; travagance and recklessness that the pre. sent state of affairs is blained! A more uu. just conclusion bas never been drawn. The
. democratic principle has its faults as well
} asthe monarchical. The latter, till now, is
. adapted to Europe, and is suffered by the
. people. But has it no register of sing to
. show? The former is adapted to America,
and has proved successful there, The De. mocracy of the North is not to be blamed
. for the insurrection of the South, which has
been preparing for the last eighty-five years
. What it is cow putting into execution.

iva hollow ball of iron. The larger ones,
of 8 and 10 ineb diameter, are generally

by crushing from roof to basement, and
. hurling death with every fiagment when
. bursting. Tbe small 6-ineh shells are filled
. with leaden musket balls through a hole in
. the side. They are consolidated into a mass
. by pouring iv melted sulphur, after which,
. being put into a lathe, a bole is drilled
. down throogh lead and sulpbur, perforating
. the whole mass, The diameter of this
hole is the same as that in the wall of the
shell, It will contain about balf a pound
of powder, This being poured in ever
with the onter eurface of the ehell, a fuse
is fitted into the orifice, making the shell
waterproof. When fired from the gun, it
can be made to explode in one, two, three,
or four minutes after leaving it, at the option of the gunner, Ite first office is to de.
istroy by striking, like an ordinary ball,
then to borst and seatter the bullets on
every side. The fuse is ignited by the discharge of the gun.
