BEAUTIFUL TRUU'TE TO A WIFE.
Sir James McIntosh, the liistrian, wn>
married in early life, before he attained
fortune or fame, to.. Mi** Clalhaiine
Stuart, a young Scotch lady, disting*
tiished more for the* excellence of her
charms. After eight years of happy
wedded life, during which time she be
came the mother of thrcqSvliildren, she
Hied. A few days after Mirr death, the
bereaved husband wrote to a friend, de
picting the clmract r of bis wife in the
following terms:
••I was guided ,(l«e observed) in my
choice only by the blind affection ot my
youth. I found an intelligent companion
and a tender friend a prudent roonUress,
the most faithful of wives, aid a mother
as tender ns children ever bad the mis
fortune to lose. I met a woman, who
by the tender (naiiagemcntjbf my weak
nesses, gradually corrected the most
pe rnicious of them.—Site became prudent
from affection ; and though of the most
generous nature, she was taught frugality
and economy by her love for me. Du-
riri£ 'Lc most critical period in my life,
she preserved order in my affairs, from
tbo car* of which she relieved me. She
gently reclaimed mo from dissipation ;
she propped my weak and irresolute
nature ; she urged my indolence to all
the exertion* that have been useful and
creditable to me, and she was perpetually
m hand to admonish my heedlc$.*ness or
improvidence. To her I owe whatever 1
am ; to her whenever.I shall be. In solici
tude for my .interest she never for a
moment forgot my feelings or my char
acter. Even in her occasional resent
ment for which I hut too often gave her
cause, (would to God I could recall those
moments!) she had no sullenn»ss nor nc
eritnony. Her feelings were warm uud
impetuous ; hut she was placable, tender
and constant. Such was she when I lost
her, when her excellent natural sense
was rapidly improving, after eight years
struggle Hiid distress had bound us fast
together, and moulded our tempers to
each other; when a knowledge of her
worth had relined my youthful love into
friendship, and before age had deprived
it of much of its original ardor.

THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. 1. 1855.
SEVEN YEARS’ WAR TO COME.
We have information on which we
think lull reliance can he placed, that
the Czar has .declared that the war lias
just begun : that 7 years is the shortest
limit assigned to it. The Crimea, ac
cording to this information, will he de
■fended to the last, not with the hope of
•ultimate triumph in that quarter, but be
cause that while the result is doubtful
.Fraiicu and England must put forth all
itheir resources, and make every sacrifice
ito their success. Russia defends, and
•will defend at the least possible cost to
ibereelf th* Crimea, taking advantage of
all its natural facilities for defence, com-
ipelling her enemies to conduct the as-
ituult on the most extensive scale, and
•involving them in the most enormous
♦exhausing and ruinous expense*. The
•Czar’s adviser* believe that seven years’
war like the past year would bankrupt
'both England and France, and relicv
tinssia from all apprehension for th
dinure. Continued war it is calculated
will ruin England's industrial resource.*
nnd commercial interests, so intimately
connected with a slate of pence for their
JTnll developement find prosperity ; while
Russia, being an agricultural country
will simply he thrown hack more txclu
.siyely^upon her own resources, and all
thi so a state of active war will develops
Hut we bolive that the world will soon
'be startledby the bold measures which
Russia will adopt. Hitherto Eugland
lias claimed to regulate and control the
dominion of the seas, and it will not take
us by surprise if a proclamation should
•soon appear from the Czar Alexander,
announcing Russia’s adhesion to the doc
trine of entire freedom <f the seas —free
trade everywhere—in the Black Sea, in
the Baltic, in the Mediterranean, ami in
6hort in all public waters connected with
the great oceans.—N. I’ Sun.

good deal about the master’s remark.—
What a character had tint boy earned !
He had already got what would he worth
to him more than a fortune. It would
he a passport to the best office in this ci-
iv. and what is b Uer, to the confidence
of the whole community. I wonder if
i he ho^s know how soon they are rated
by elder people. Every boy in the
neighborhood is known, opinions formed
of him, and he has a character either fa
vorable or unfavorable. A boy of whom
the master can say." “ I can trust him;
he never failed me.” will never want em
ployment. The fidelity, promptness, and
industry.w iich he his shown at school
arc prized everywhere. He who is faith
ful in little will be faithful in much.”
Magazine under the Redan.—An
extract of a letter from Sebastopol, pro
fesses to show how tho Redan escaped
being blown up by the Russians, like
the oilier forts: “ A sapp er, who was ex
ploring the batteries of the Redan just
as the Russians were evacuating the
town, discovered a large cable, which
he cut in two by a blow of an axe, an I
then called the attention of the officers
to it. On further examination, it was
found to be a thick metallic wire, cover
ed with a coating of gutta pcrcha. This
wire led iff a very large powder maga
zine, dug under the Redan, the discov
ery of which made the boldest tremble,
when they thought of the frightful ex
plosion from which they had escaped,
Ttie wire came from across the town as
far as the sea, which it crossed to the
other shore, from whence the electric
spark was to be despatched to set fire to
that volcano. It was discovered just at
the nick of time, as the last soldiers had
not evacuated the town when the forts
blew up ou^ after the other, filling the | discord, where

WHITHER ARE WE TENDING t”
More than once have we seen this
question propounded, a* applicable to
some specific end ; and of course, have
as often read the answer. Now, we
propose attempting an answer to it as it
bears upon the future civil ccndition of
these United States; taking into the
consideration the tendency, if perse
vered in, of her present, dominant poli
tical party.
Viewed in this light, we gire as
answer to- the query, that our tendency
is, a decided departure from Republi
canism—positive States’ Rights Re
publicanism—ending in an Aristocratic
Kingdom, worse perhaps, though we
charitably indulge a hope of the more
liberal result.
This conclusion is not reached be
cause of Democratic triumph and Amcri
can defeat, but that one organization,
whether governed by the same or differ
ent principles, has so long held the
sway, and that recent results have more
firmly placed that organization in the
ascendant. True, we have more than
once predicted future discord and divi^
sion amongst the members of this Na
tionally organized party, and again pre
dict such a result, not that we advocate
harmony is for goud;
but that we consider the. disbanding of
most lucrative posts to certain families »
and however worthy or unworthy, that
fact stands; and.the prospect is, inheri
tance, aud a widening circle will keep it
standing uutiL honor aud profit are all
absorbed and held by persons from a
single line. However worthy, we again
say, as individuals, it does not disturb
our position. What, then? Let the
policy be pursued by an organization
of retaining alt the Government patron-
age (and there is a most promising start
for it) and in a few years it will be look
ed upon a* their right; and backed by
the people, a few men, of certain antece
dents and blood will be fastened upon
us as our rulers; consequently, we are
their subjects; and if their subjects, a
few more years will suffice for some one,
full of daring and fed with proffered
help from“ across the waters,” and the
prospect of a “ glittering crown,
other Louis Napoleon will be in the
field—perhaps is already—who will
snatch the reins, and we can then write

all to be delivered in this city before the
1st of next January. Holders, under
the influence of the excited state of the
*he market for braedstuffs, and anticipating
a large foreign demand for corn, are now
very firm, and contracts could not be
made below thirty-five, and many are
asking higher rates.
Th( Hog Market.—There is a better
feeling on the part of buyers, with au
increased dispotion to operate. Con
tracts for two lots have been made at $6,-
75 for November delivery, and holders
are now asking $7, and seem pretty stiff
at this rate. For December delivery,
$6 50 has been paid, and at this rate
there are, perhaps, more buyers than sel
lers, though yesterday, owing to the re
action in the Pork market in New York

and of cramps -during the course of the
disease. The proportion of death* is
larger than in any former epidemic.
