who have exhibited a constancy and courage which the American Revolution never surpassed, if it ever equalled. It is with pride and pleasure which we cannot express that we pay this tribute to the noble people of the Valley, who, if reluctant to give up the old Union till they saw its hollowness, will be also among the last to desert the new, and, from beginning to end, will be among the best and bravest who uphold its flag. We love that glorious mountain region, that grand and beautiful Switzerland of Virginia,--no spot on earth is dearer to our heart,--and we rejoice to know that its men are proving themselves worthy of their glorious homes, with natures as grand and firm as their majestic mountains, and souls which, in the hour of battle, remind us of the Blue Ridge when night and storm and darkness clothe its sumants, and-- "Far along From peak to peak, the Failing crags among, Leaps the thunder! Not from one lone oud our every mountain now hath found a tongue."

g us as pleasant to them as we are sure it will be delightful to us — Our pure mountain air and water, and our shaded and quiet farm-houses, will, we trust, soon restore them to health, and enable them to gratify their patriotic aspirations by resuming the active duties of the camp and field. We confess a little vanity mingles with our apparent hospitality, for we want to show our Southern friends our magnificent mountain scenery, in rich and varied picturesqueness, rivalling that of Switzerland; the Natural Bridge, that sublime master-piece of Nature's masonry; that noble institution, the Virginia Military Institute, the most imposing edifice in the State; the bronze copy of Houdon's fae simile statue of Washington; the venerable College of Washington, endowed by the Father of his Country, and now nobly represented in the field by the Liberty Hall Volunteers--the flower of our youth; our decent churches and school houses; our fertile farms and snug dwellings; our green meadows a

European View. The London Times publishes a long letter from Hon. Theodore S. Fay, American Minister to Switzerland, which is mainly devoted to a refutation of Earl Russell's late speech at Newcastle, in which he (Earl Russell) asserted that one side in America was striving for empire, and the other for independence or power Mr. Fay protests in the strongest terms against Lord Russell's reasonings, and complains in general terms against the sympathy accorded to the rebels by the English and continental journals. The London Times editorially criticises Mr. Fay's letter, and says that although it ca

pursued by the Government as premature, indiscreet, and inconsiderate. It was reported that the American bankers were holding out liberal commissions to English financiers to place a portion of the Federal loan in London. Financial writers in the London journals point out the danger of touching it, and think the chances of success very remote. The other Continental news is generally unimportant. The demonstration by the French troops had attracted considerable attention. Switzerland had protested and demanded evacuation, and France had proposed a negotiation. A belief had gained ground that a large loan was urgently required by the French Government. It was reported that some negro children had been publicly sold as slaves, in the French establishments at Gaboow. The affairs at Hungary and Poland were unchanged.

The Paris press assert that the occupation of the valley by the Frech troops still continued. It was stated that the arrivals of grain in France had lately been so excessive that some wheat was about to be re-shipped from Marseilles to England. The Paris bourse was firm and higher.--Rentes were quoted at 68f. 60 Several heavy commercial failures had occurred in Paris. The Constitutionelle has been recommended by the M

The next attractive features among the ornamental in the East Room, are the curtains and drapery at the eight windows. The inner curtains are of the richest white needle-wrought lace, made in Switzerland. Over these, and suspended from massive gold gilt cornices, are French crimson brocatelle, trimmed with heavy gold fringe and tassel work. The embrace, or curtain pin, at the side of each window, is of solid brass and covered in gold gilt.
