142 - L Nov. 15; ed: 2/3 - An interesting report is given of the progress
thus far made in the manufacture of the Atlantic cable and the arrange- .
ments necessary to insure success in the attempt to connect Europe and
America by telegraph. Eight hundred miles of the copper conductor with
four layers of gutta percha have been completed. Six hundred tons of
nomogeneous iron and large stocks of manilla yarn, used to wrap iron wire,
is to be used in its construction.

human power can determine, it will be entirely successful, and there are
none, either in this country, or in Europe, who will not hope that this
expectation be realized." - (6)

arms and return to their allegiance. The election will signify to
Europe that the republic is more powerful than ever, and is strong
enough to maintain its integrity against foreign foes, (5)

820 - L. Feb. 25:2/2,4; 3/2, 6 - A beautiful sunny day greeted the fair yes-
terday. The bazaar occupies the west wing of the fair building which is
lighted by gas with heat supplied by stoves and steam apparatus under the
floor, covering an area of 6,000 feet. It has the splendor of oriental
magnificence with its drape of flags and evergreens. The bazaar has a
large book and stationery booth, and delegates from the land of the celet-
tial offer for sale a splendid collection of Chinese and Japanese wares at
their booths, Cotton, evergreens, sledges, reindeer, Moscovian ice palaces
make one booth distinctively Russian. The bazaar boasts its own postoffice
for the convenience of patrons,
The SANITARY FAIR GAZETTE is published daily and circulated by thou-
sands. Editors, printers, and pressmen are all there and the paper is made
up and run off amid the throng. - -
H. Craig, well-known microscopist, has a glass-blowing apparatus which
turns out beautiful varied figures.
In the fine arts hall several hundred worlºs by leading artists of Europe
and America are shown. There are paintings by Teniers, Kauffman, Rossiter,
Clough, Paul Webber, and others. Among the truly great pictures are CAMP
FIRE, TOWN PUMP, and MAIL DAY.
The third floor of the court house contains a museum which has curiosi-
ties from the fields of geology, mineralogy, zoology, and ornithology. War
machinery, E. Beebe's collection of stamps, coins and specimens of auto-
graphs from all the famous men in the United States are also on display.
Floral hall takes its text from nature and has so shaped its bowers,
water falls, and summer houses. Here is beauty, culled from nature and
shaped by art. The hall is octagonal-shaped, occupying the center of the
square. Entering the hall on the south side you ascend a stairway to an
elevated floor to view every part of this beautiful layout.
The fruit, the telegraph, cone, flower rustic gardening, and Indian tea
garden booths are just a few of the beautiful booths of the fair. It is
estimated that clear profits will amount to over $100,000. - (166)

939 - L Oct. 19; ed: 2/1 - No man who is conversant with the present atti-
tude of the various parties in England can doubt that all who wish the
Republic ill, all who hate to see Democratic institutions provirg their
stability in such a crisis as this, all who wish to see slavery re-
established, are in favor of the election of McClellan. On the other
hard, all the liberal thinkers of Europe, men who hate slavery and wish
to see republicanism live forever, are anxious for the re-election of
Lincoln. -

not to vote as the enemies of his country and the haters of freedom de-
sire him to vote?" (4)

955 - L. May 5; ed: 2/1 - "Since the death of Napoleon the elder, there -
has been no man on the continent of Europe better versed in the mysteries
of statecraft or more cunning by nature than the present Napoleon. -- .
"During the sixteen years he has ruled over the French nation, he has
had a definite line of policy which he has pursued with a constancy and
purpose that prove him possessed of the first qualities of genius....
His foreign policy has always had reference to strengthening the papacy
and enlarging the area of French Colonial power.... Ever since Canada
was lost to the French, it has been an object with that ambitious people
to establish a colony upon this Western continent. The rebellion offer-
ed an opportunity to carry out this dream of French conquest. Mexico
was consequently invaded, and now having been partially conquered,
Maximilian... has been transformed into Emperor Max the First.
"The question now is, what shall be the attitude of the Federal
Government toward the new Empire? There is no mistaking the issue. We
must either maintain the Monroe doctrine or back down from it until the
rebellion is over, when a hundred thousand restless soldiers of the Re-
public will take possession of Mexico, in behalf of the United States
of America.
"We are not surprised at the manner in which the organs of the
English aristocracy acquiesce in the ambitious plans of Napoleon. The
London TIMES of April 12th declares that the apology offered by the
Emperor Napoleon for invading and occupying Mexico is sufficient....
The TIMES seems especially gratified with the idea that the progress
of the Anglo-Saxon race upon this continent has been greatly impeded
by this occupation of Mexico.
"These schemes of the Emperor are no doubt aggravating, but we must
bide our time and subordinate all side issues to the suppression of the
rebellion." (12)

costs out of early avails of their labor, after arriving.
"Not only now but after the War, the broad acres of the West and
South will invite hundreds of thousands of skilled artisans of Europe.
Let Congress act wisely and immediately." (13)

is the most desirable home cn earth." - (6)

1563 - L. Sept. 19; ed:2/1 - August Belmont, chairman of the "Copperhead"
national executive committee of the Democratic party, is an Austrian
Jew, and a financial agent of the well-known house of Rothschild in
Europe, which holds Confederate bonds purchased for almost nothing.
This committee is endeavoring, through Belmont, to bring about a ces-
sation of hostilities based upon granting everything asked for by the
South. It wants the national government to assume the Confederate
debt, which will add much to the already fabulous wealth of that great
house by increasing the value of its bonds.
"The Rothschilds know that the re-election of Lincoln will result in
the suppression of the rebellion and the worthlessness of confederate
bonds. It remains to be seen what success these foreign Shylocks will
meet." (6)

1717 - L Nov. 21; ed: 2/1 - The capture of the FLORIDA in a Prazilian
port has caused much comment in Europe. Their anxiety arises from
the fact that she is a pirate ship, an English-built vessel, manned
by Englishmen, and England can be held responsible for any damage done
by her. "If the Brazilian government demands her surrender, her
depredations on American commerce will only increase the account to
be settled against the government that first allowed her to go forth." (3)

JOURNAL, being fearful of irritating the people of the South in coming
years, has made a proposition to abolish the homestead law and pledge
public lands for payment of interest on our national debt which he
calculates it will be $4,000,000,000 at the close of the war.
"The plan of wise statesmanship is to make our Union all free soil,
to offer our public domain in free homesteads to the farmers of Europe
and of America." (8)

2260 - L. Feb. 12; ed:2/2 - Legoyt, chief of the statistical bureau of
the French ministry of agriculture, commerce, and public works, reports
on the strength of the armies of Europe. The report says: "In a time
of profound peace this strength is 3,875,847 men, nearly equal to the
whole population of the state of New York." Legoyt indulges in reflec-
tion as to the "disarming of one-half" of each army. 1,907,924 men,
between the ages of 20 and 35, are restored to labors of peace, and at
once a saving of $32,000,000 is affected. This amount can be used to
extend railroads, establish more schools, or reduce taxes. This would
mean a great deal to the people of Europe. Two million men would be re-
stored to the arts of peace and rates of labor would be reduced. It
would preserve family bonds, broken because of absence.
"It is to prevent just such a condition as this, that the American
people have been plunged into this bloody war....
"The southern slave lords would like to imitate the 'baker's dozen'
plan by which Europe is governed. This vast system by which men are
dragooned into submission, will receive its death blow in the triumph of
our arms." (15)

laid siege to Washington for two days and are on their way to Lynch-
burg, through the Shenandoah valley. They secured fresh horses, and
fresh beef for the army, "besides inevitable prestige from home and
Europe for having cut off the Capitol from the rest of mankind, which
serves to encourage and produce much hilarity in the rebel army." (6)

2305 - L. Dec. 13; ed:2/1 - It is said that interest and anxiety felt
amorg all classes in England in the war now going on here have not been
exceeded, if equalled, by any war in which England has been engaged. The
liberals and conservatives of Europe feel that their contest has been
transferred to the American battle fields for the present. Cobden, a
man whose integrity and pluck have endeared him to the masses of the
English people, iooked upon the peaceable election held in this country,
Nov. 8 as "one of the sublimest spectacles ever witnessed on earth."
"For our part, it is a source of great satisfaction to us that the
North receives the sympathy of leading Liberals of Europe. We care not.
for the organs of aristocracy: Our cause is that of Democracy." (18)
