Tho Paris correspondent of tho London Times
writes the following letter under date ot March
14, and npon it in all probability a portion of tho
Sun’s despatches may bo founded:
Tho same rumors I noticed yesterday a3 favora
ble to peace are still current, though in a less de
gree than yo.iterday. I cannot, I confers, reconcile
those rumors, ropost:d so often and proceeding
from various sources, of tho pacific disposition ol
the Austrian government, with the "conduct of
tho tame towards Prussia.
Wohuvo been told for several days past that
both Austria and Eng.and arc we 1 disposed to
wards peace ou conditir r.s less onorcus than the
destruction of Sevastopol, and that tho Emperor
Napoleon is tho only serious obstablo to such an
arrangement us ought to satisfy all par'.iea, and
that the obstacle has its origin in privato feeling.
Ktiowing that thoro ate parsons whose great do
sirs and hopes are to see the aUiauco between the
two countries dissolved, and that nothing which
clev-r marcouvring can 'oioolToet that object
will bo omitted, I think that most of thoso rum
ors, howovor they may wear au appearance of
authority, ought to bo received w'tb caution.

By the grace of God, We, Alexander 11., Em

our faithful subjects. Submitting with resignation
to the impenetrable designs of Divino Providence,
wo seek consolation but in Him, and wait from
Him alone the nocessary aid to enable us to sustain
the burden which it has pleased him to imposo
upon us. Even as tho much-loved father whom

at this hour so painful, but aiso so grave aud so
solemn, in ascending our hereditary throne of the
Bmpiro of Russia, as well as of the Kingdom of
Poland, and of tho Grand Duchy of Finland,
which are inseparable from it, take, in tlio face of
tho invisible and every present God, the sacred
pled«-o, never to have any other end but the pros
perity of oar country. May Providence who has
called us to this high mission, so aid us that,
guided and protected by Him, we may Ire able to
strengthen Russia in the highest degree of power
and glory; that by cs may be accomplished the
views and tho desires of our ilinslrions prede
cessors, Peter, Catherine, Alexander the much
loved, and our august father of imperishable
memory.
By their well-proved zesl, by their prayers ar

11. Bravo warriors, courageous participators in
the deeds of your supremo military chief, now
sleeping in the Lord!
You havo sealed in your hearts the last words
of ills t .uder and parental love for you. As s mark
of hi- lovo to the troops ot the Guard, the Ist
Corps of Cadets, and the Grenadier Rogimont of
the Generalissimo, Prince Suvaroy (Suwarrow), I
present to yon the uniforms of his Majesty, those
which the Emperor, yeur benefactor, deigned him
self to wear. Preserve this pledge, which I trust
may remain among you sacre i as a relic, and like
an enduring memorial for future generations.—
Moreover, 1 ordain as follows:
1. In tno companies and squadrons that have
borne his Majesty’s name, all the distinctive
charges on tho epaulettes and ahouldcr knots
shall retain the initial letter of the Emperor Nich
olas 1-, so long as one of those, registered down to
March 2,1555, shall continue in the said compa
nies and squad - ocs.
2. Those who wero attached to hia Majesty’s
person, as Generals,,or as Aidcs-da-Camp General,
or as Aides-de-Camp Aaiate, will retain the same
initial.
May the sacred momory of Nicholas 1 survive
among our ranks, as a terror to.the foe and for the
glory cf Russia. Alexander.
St. Petersburg, March 8,1555.
The Emperor Alexander ha 3 assumed the name
of Chef of ail those regiments of the Guard
whose Chef the deceased Emperor had been;
and, in addition, he remains Chef of the battalion
of the Sappers of the Guard, of the first brigade of
tho Artillery of the Guard, of the Ist corps of Ca
dets, and ot all tho troops and forces the command
of which he had had as Crown Prince. The Cui
rassier regiment of tho body guard, however, takes
for its Chef the Empress Marie Alexandrowi'.a;
while tho regiment of lancers, which the Empress
formerly had, is made over to tho Crown Prince,
Nicholas Alexsudrowitset. The Crown Prince is
also nominated Grand Hetman of all the Cossack
armies; atd General Rudiger to be the Comman
der in-Chics of tic Guard and Grenadiers—equiv
alent in rank to the post of Commander-in Chief
of an army, inasmuch as the corp ci the guards
and grenadiers forms a special an-i separate corjis
tfarmee.
The Journal de St. Petersburg of the Oth says:
“ On Saturday last, at hail-past 1 o’clock, the
Court, the General Officer,, and Officers of the
Guards, and of the Army and Navy, and persons
°f datinoacu . . assembled at the Win*
ter Palace to take the cam of allegiance to his ila

From the Ixmdcm. Times, March 18.
The Aspect c* Aiyaiss in Europe.—The period
at which we are now arrived—tie middle of
month ot -larch—! robabiy marks the termination
■ of that long interval of suspense which has bean
’ 60 ttyu* *?, th « fortitude and patience cf the allied
1 »rru:e* in the Crimea, and go perplexing to t e
i judgment of politician* throughout the wor'd
- Tne time is eorue when we may confidently expect
* wot* e-aage for the better or for tuc w rse in the
1 situation of arealrs; and whether wa look to cur
) political negotiation* or to cur military position,
i we anl-oipite with gome degree cf ccnMenoa ra
i glia favorable :o the eaute of the aided powers.
It we* expected thst tho regular eenfazatees of
t the plenipotentiaries at Vienne would open yester
-1 day; for, although eema previous communications
- have taken place belweea the representative* of
s France, England and Austria, and even between
them and t La envoys, to business of to
AUGUSTA, GA.. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1853.
. coif, -ence c-ould not commence until Prince Gort-
I nud M. de Titoff had received and pro
dnetv. thvsir fail powers from the Emperor Alex
ander 11.
As the object of the allied Powers is not to en
in the >»um eties and artifices of diplomacy,
oat simply o declare on what grounds they are
ready to mske peace, and what conditions they
can accop a-3 a suthuiont security for the fulfilment
of the purposes of the alliance, the very first step
iu these negotiations must have an important, and
poasibly a decisive edect, ou the Ultimate result.
We enter- n no doubt that Austria, England and
Franc*', are already entirely agreed as to the na
ture, extent, and form of the conditions they will
cow communicate to the Russian Ministers, for, if
any hesitation or dtfiferoxce of opinion manifested
itself on tte starting point, it is evident that our
adversary would immediately take advantage of
the least symptom of division. Oar union is oui
strength, audit is this union of the three greatest
powers in Europe already brought Rus
sia to treat for peaoa at Vienna on a bash wholly
excluding her original pretensions, and abandon
ing the tggreseive attitude she had assumed.
It is therefore essential to the success of the ne
gotiation and to the attainment of the objects we
ore striving for, that this union should be com
plete, for all the efforts of the Russian diplomatists
will be directed to shake it. For this reason
more especially wo rejoice that no Prussian agent
takes part in these dEcass’ons, because we have
no doubt that on the «rst plausible lure hold out
by Russia he would desert to the enemy, and so
diminish the moral strongth cf the alliance. Os
Austria wo entertain no such apprehension, be
cause measures have teen taken to place in a defi
nite shape the joint resolutions of that Power aud
the Western Cabinets. Every thing, then, de
pends, in the instance, on the determination
of Russia to take the first step with us towards the
preliminaries of peac3, or, by rejecting this offer,
to terminate at once the labors of the Conference
and tho hopos of pea&! whioh her previous assiir
•jucea have ltd ttio. f yvld to conceive. It is of
cdfV’s-j impossible, in our ignorance of the real in
tentions of tho Cabinet of St. Petersburg, more
especially since the l-.te change in the person of
tho sovereign of that empire, to hazard anything
more than a conjecture a3 to tho course the Russian
plenipotentiaries are instructed to pursue, but we
incline to the belief that they will persevere in the
negotiation. Should they find that they cannot
obtain the advantages they desire, should any
turn in affairs inoreaso their confidence in their
military success, it will always be in their power
to terminate the conference, and to repudiate con
cessions which have not been completed. Rut in
the present position of Russia, already hopelees of
obtaining the original objects of the war, threat
ened by a formidable confederacy in the south,
and by t, gigantic naval armament in the north,
with her finances well nigh exhausted, her formor
alliances dissolved, aud her army in the Crimea
reducod by incalculable sufferings, it would bo an
act cf temerity to reject at once tho only moans of
pacification.
We surmise, therefore, that she will accept tho
original conditions, reserving to herself overy
imaginable means of evading and lessening their
effect, while she attempts, by counter propositions
and objections, to shake the intimate union of the
allies. Her diplomatic resistance will be as stub
born and as artful, though it cannot be so pro
tracted, as that of Sevastopol.
But while this political contest is carried on at
Vienna, the course of events in ihe Crimea will not
bo suspended, and wo trust that within a short
period of time we shall receive intelligence of more
important occurrences at the theatre of war. The
interval of some weeks, which must elapse between
tho close of winter aud the arrival of the reinforce
ment* which tho Russian government will doubt
less attempt to throw into the Crimea, is a moment
of tho utmost consequence to the operations of the
alliß t armies.
When the Emperor of the French formed the
design of going to the Crimea at the present time,
he doubtless perceived that the latter part of March
and tho beginning of April are marked out for
the commencement of a new campaign, which
may enable ns to obtain the grand object of the
expedition; and, although thero'iß now some
reason to believo that the visit to the imperial
army is postponed, the military importance of this
opportunity is by no means diminished. Now or
never is the moment of trial and the promiso of
success. According to all tho acoounts on whioh
any reliance can be placed, it appears that the
Russian army in the Crimea has suffered not less
severely than tho troops of the allies. Tho bulk
of that army has passed the winter, not in Sevas
topol, but behina tho ridge of hills which divide
the K&tcha and the Tchoruaya from the southorn
coast.
The temperature is known to be lower at Sim
pheropol than it is on the coast, and the resources
which onr forces have been able to draw from the
sea—such as warm clothing, wool for huts ard
firing, food, and the transport of tho eick to a
warmer latitude—were wholly wanting to tho en
emy. Conceive, for instance, what the etate of
Balaklava and its hospitals would have been during
the lost throe months, if the 5,000 or 6,000 aick and
wounded men who have been sent off to Scutari
and elsewhere, had been compelled to remain an I
die in tho infected purlieus of tho camp 1 Yet
such must havo been tho state of the Russian
depots iu the iuterior of tho Crimea—a position
hardly leas deplorable than our own, and without
tho assistance wo have continued to derivo from
the sea. That the relieving army of the Russians
is very much reduced by tho hardships of this
winter campaign may further bo gathered from
tho laot that they advanced against Eupatoria on
the 17th of February with an insufficient force,
and although they had tho strongest inducement
to strike a decisive blow on that spot, they found
themselves inferior to the Turkish garrison, and
failed iu the enterprise. The return of spring is,
oi'course, earlier and more rapid iu the smith^ol
snow lies in vast quat*ftio», and when it melts the
country remains for weeks in a condition impassa
ble by troops or wheeled carriages. It may be
inferred, therefore, thut tho allied armies will be
enabled to move towaids the enemy much sooner
than tho reinforcements of the enemy can arrive
to his a&rdßtanco ; and tho question we are now
led to ask is, whether General Caurobort and Lord
Raglan cannot inflict & decisive blow on tho Rus
sian army to the North of our lines, assisted by a
flank operation of tho forces under Omer Rasha,
before any material addition ct»n bo made to the
forces of Generals Osten Sacken and Liprandi ?
It is probable that more real importance attaches
to tho prosecution of the technical works of the
siega. If once the Russian army in tho field were
defeated and destroyed, the lines of the Katsclia
and the Bolek would be in our possession, Sevas
topol might bo invested, the communications
would bo interrupted, and it is highly improbable
that tke defence of the place could then bo pro
longed.
The effect of such a victory on the negotiations
at Vienna would also bo highly advantageous, and
wonld soon restoro the reputation of the allied
armies in Europe. Tho latest accounts which have
readied us from tho Crimea leave us no reason to
doubt that a plan has been formed for carrying thi*
operation into effect. The rooonnoissauco attempt
ed the otbor day by Bir Colon Campbell, and pre
vented by a sudden return of snow and wintry
weather, was intended to be followed by more
decided measuros ; and although it ia impossible
to foresee tho cause, arising lrom tho weather,
supplies, intelligence, aud other motives, which
may accelerate or retard such a movement, wo
entertain strong hopes that we shall learn, before
the end of this month, that the allied armios havo
taken effectual measures to change the aspect of
the campaign.
[ fUnna {March 11) Correspondence of the Times .]
Taac Negotiations at Vienna. —During the last
three or four days the special Commisioner has
had seve/al interviews both with Count Buol and
Saron Bourqueney, and he baa probably now for
warded to the British government a detailed ac
count of what haa occurred since his arrival in
this city. A? jou will readily suppose, nothing is
yot po-iitively known relative to what has taken
place between Count Buol and the representatives
of the Western Powers, but you may be assured
that the attention of the diplomatists has boon
principally directed to the third of the four points.
According to the Vienna paper, the four points
or conditions will be retained as the basis of the
negotiations for peace—that is, their number will
neither be increased nor diminished. The pro
tectorate over the Christians in the East, and the
free navigation of tho Danube, will probably pro
sent no great difficulties. The arrangement rela
tive to tne Principalities will in all likelihood lead
to very animated discussions, but the greatest
difference of opinion wiil be manifested when the
Congress has to provide for the future balance of
power in the Black Sea. “ Russia will as little
consent to raze tho walls of Sevastopol as she will
to destroy Cronstadt and Sweaborg; and, should
the Western Powers make such a demand on the
Czar, it can only be because they feel morally
certain that the expedition to the Crimea will suc
ceed.” The Vienna journalist, who affirms that
the possession of Sevastopol is not the sole canso
of the preponderance of Russia in the Black Sea,
somowhat'naively adds, that the only way of effec
tively putting an end to her supremacy would be
to deprive her of tho Crimea. The conclusion of
tho article is, that the best way of overcoming the
difficulties which present themselves would be for
all the great Powers to agree to keep no more than
a limited number of vessels of wsr in the Euxiiae.
“ To demand from Ru?sia the voluntary surrender
of Sevastopol would inevitably lead, not to the fall
of that fortress, but to the breaking up of the
Peace Congress.”
Tno Vienna public, which is always willing to
view things in the "most favorable light, was at
first ot opinion that the manifesto of the new Cxar
“ was in reali‘y less warlike than it appeared
but tho self-delußion is already dissipated. The
Ost Deutsche Post is probably not far from the
truth when it says that the imperial rescript, in
stead of being the work of an obscure Court
publicist, is the oxact expression of the sentiment
of the most important and influential persons in
the empire. Baron de Lieven has not yet arrived.
It has attracted considerable attention here, that
Ariff Effend was not invited to be present at the
Foreign Office a few days since; but the fact is,
that the other Ministers wanted to talk over the
Eastern question at their ease; and this they could
net have done had a person been present who
knows so little of the French language that he
would have been obliged to have an interpreter
with him. In a few days, probably on the Isth or
lscb, either Redschid Pacha or Ali Pach will ar
rive, and as both those statesmen speak French
perfectly well, there wiil be no further difficulty.
Paris Correspondence of the Times , March 18.
The Position of Prussia—Speculation upon the
Prospects of Peace. —You are already aware of
the return of General de Wed ell to Paris, and it is
hardly necessary to add that the public was curious
to learn the nature of the new instructions, if,
; ndeed, there were any such, of which he is pre
sumed to be the bearer, and on the issue of which
the complete adhesion of Prussia to the policy and
conduct of the allied powers to depend. M. de
Wadell’s return was preceded by various announce
ments in some of the fore ; gn journals respecting
hi 3 mission, which would be highly favorable if
they were only correct, and by others, which
would be inauspicious it they possessed the Eame
essential quality. Although three days have not
yet elapeea since his reappearance, much nas been
said on what passed in certain interviews with the
Minister for Foreign Affairs, and even with the
Emperor. I believe that neither of these versions
is correct; there has been no unconditional ac
ceptance of the demands of tho French government
noticed at some length in one of my late letters,
nor has there been any rupture of the negotiations.
Indeed, I can affirm that up to last night M. de
Wedeil had not seen M. Droujpn de Lhys on the
subject of hia mission nor the Emperor. The first
interview was to have taken place yesterday with
the Minister, and this day, I believe, with hia
Majesty. Press of business, or some other cause,
prevented it. That with the Minister was post
poned to this day and the audience of the Empe
roe till to-morrow. Nothin* precise of the instruc
tions the Prussian Envoy has brought with him
can us yet be said, further than that he is believed
to be intrusted with a letter from the King of
Prussia to the Emperor Napoleon.
Other questions have, however, arisen, which
have, in a certain degree, diverted the attention of
the public from the Cabinet of Berlin. In my
letter oi Sunday I alluded io the rumors whieh
then circulated on the improved prospects of a
pacific solution of our difficulties, and on the ti
reet whiefc, true or false, they produced on the
public securities.
Those rumors appear to assume a certain degree
Os oonaiatenqy. They prooeed from various quw
* I tars, and are not totally denied iu sources where
there ought to be means of estimating tho real
value that should be given to them. Not only is
it sti : l affirmed that tho intelligence received ffom
Vienna is of the kind hinted a n Sunday, but it
is added that another letter has been received from
the Emperor of Austria, dcc arctory ol tho sau;o
facilities tor establishing peace that have been al
ready noticed, and expressive of the hope th tthe
French Governmeu* will not slip the occasion now
offered for arriving at such a eonsammaiiou.
Whether this be the fact or not, I believe it is
pretty certain that what has pas ed at Vienna is
regarded here possessing much more interest
than was before supposed, and a conviction gains
ground tha* tho importance which was so lately
attached to Sevastopol, with reference to peace,
is now transferred to the deliberations ot the Con
ference.
The idea is becoming general among political
men here that the Emperor of Austria is disposed
to think more favorably than before ot the feasi
bility of peace without the terrible alternative oi
the destruction of Sevastopol, which can hardly
be demanded of the Russians themselves, and
which, after bo long and so painful a siege, the
Allied armies have tailed in effecting. It is* said
that the Emperor of Austria does not, on reflec
tion, think that the opening of the Danube, the
freedom of the navigation oi the B.ack Sea. acd
the surrender on tho nart of Russia of the exclu
sive protection of the Danubian provinces are con
cessions of small value ; and that, as an equivalent
for the integrity of Sevastopol, tho liberty 10 the
maritime powers to erect fortresses or military
posts on the Boiftnern coast of the Euxiro, cn points
such as Batoum, Trebixonde, or Sinops, would be
a sufficient guarantee for the original objec’sof the
war—the independence and intogiity o. the Otto
man Empire, and, again, for tlie security of cur
Indian possessions. Notwithstanding the tone of
tho late Russian manifesto, the Eu peror Fiances
Joseph believes that the Czar would accept suefi
conditions, and is anxious to impress upon Eng
land that they ought to b 3 taken into serious con
sideration. There - ' arc'phffeofi ■» dhfffefts-to'profta
gate the idea that England will not bo regardless
of such arguments, uud that she will not fail tc*
impross her powerful ally with her own ultimate
convictior b. But tho sain ; idea of tli3 sufficiency
of such an arrangement is not attributed tc tho
Emperor of tho French, who, we are told, is ikely
to be tho greu if not the only obstacle to paaco,
and whoso equanimity has been disturbed by the
turn which matters aro suid to have taken at
Vionna.
Tho Emperor’s journey to the Cdmea, which
has assumed so many phases, is afao stud to be
postponed inconsequence o! the views entertained
at Vienna, and tho Emj ;ror of Austria is suid
once more to have urged tho postponemo t, if not
tho abandonment of it, witii as much persistence
as before—at least, until something cie isivo shall
have been resolved by the statesmen who compose
the Conference. In confirmation of the effect of
tho nows from Vienna, tho Emperor is described
as uneertain about the date of his departure, and
great stress was laid on tho counter-order given to
tho Guido a few days ago. That counter order
appears, however, to have been owing only to
matter of detail in tho corps itself, and ii dno
reference to their departure. The Emporor spoke
ot his jeurney as certain at tho dinner sriv..u on
Sunday to tho officors whoso regiments he had ro
viewed, and tho necessaries for encampment h: vc
been distributed to tho officers of his’ household.
It must boa powerful cause indeed which would
oblige him to givo up this loug-chorishod project,
and. notwithstanding all that 1 as been said, Twill
douot whether that cause has been as yet found.
Pabis, March 14—G F. M.—M. de Wedoll bad
an interview yesterday with the French Mini ter
for Foreign Affairs. It is understood to havo been
rather of a geuo r al and somewhat vague kind, and
one statement is to the effect that tho question of
Prussia engaging to net in conformity with the de
cision of the majority of the conferences was
scarcely, if at all, touched. M. do • cdoli is to
have au audience of tho Emporcr to-morrow. In
tho letter of tho King of Prus ia, of which M. do
Wedoll is said to bo tho bearer, it is thought that
the notification of tho death ol the Emperor Nicho
las is contained. Il has bean deemed very proba
ble that this Court would go into mourning for
the Emporor, and ; hat it is waiting on'y for tho
extra official notification of tho evont through the
Prussian Minister.
The same rumors I noticed yesterday ns favora
ble to peace aro still current, though in a less de
gree than yesterday. 1 cannot, I confess, recon
cile those rumors, repeated so often and proceed
ing from various sources, of tho pacific disposition
of tho Austrian government with the conduct of
thosamo towards Prussia.
It is affirmed, and no doubt is true, that tho
young Emporor of Austii* was deeply affected at
the death of tho Emporor Nicholas; but tho assur
ranco given to the government of France and Eng
land respecting the mission of tho Archduke show
that the feeling is a personal, and not a political
one. Wo have been told for several days past
that both Austria and England aro well disposed
towards peace on conditions loss onerous than tho
destruction of Sevastopol, and that tho Emporor
Napoleon i» tho only serious obstsolo to such p.n
arrangement as ought to satisfy all parties, and
that tno Emperor obstacle has its origin in pri
vate feeling. Knowing that there aro persons
whose great desire and hopes aro to see the aiiiaaco
botwoen tho two countrioK dissolved, and that noth
ing which clover manoeuvring can do to cff’.c that
object will be omitted, I think that most of these
rumors, however they may wear au appearance
of authority, ought to borocoivad with caution.
Ruins of Ancient Cities in America.
On the 17th of October lust, u party of twelve
Mormons and ono Indian, headed by W. I). II • vtt

ments in Utah Territory, by request of Governor

open a trade with the Navajoes, who dwell in that
quarter, for sheep, goats and horses, of which it is
known they have an abundance. They have con
siderable skill in manufactures, and make all their
blankets, leuther, bridlo-bits &j., many of which
are executed with most curious workmanship.
They also work iron, gold and silver into a multi
tude of forms, and articles for the warrior, hus
bandmau and tradesman. The party returned to
the Mormon settlements on the 21st ol December
lust, having on their trip made some moal remarka
ble discoveries. They found, in fact, the ruins of
a city built in the rocks, very similar to tho for
famed Petra in the Eastern Desert, and even sur
passing it in extent. Prom Huntington’s account,

On the 17th, wo loft Manti with our full out fit

during an experience of twenty years in tho church.
A wild, mountainous and dreary desert hitherto

was still more formidable, Indian Walker aud his

and our enemies fled before wo reached thoir po

we arrived, had killed, boiled and eaten a white
man, so groat was their exasperation. By the per- >
suasion of two friondly Indiana with us—our guide
and interpreter—they listoued to an explanation of
our business. We woro finally enabled to form a I
treaty and did some trading with them, while they
were doing some tall stealing from us. They were
highly excited, but tho chiefs wore more cool, ap
peared quite friendly, and wished us to come agam j
and trade.—Trade is the best letters of intro

Their great Captain wished us not to go among
their towns and villages, as there were some that

and wished us well, and went to his town and
brought out an abundance of corn, meal, flour,
bread, beans, dried pumpkin, dried squash, pine
nuts, with Bheep and goat meat or tho finest
quality, to fit us out for our journey home.
Fibst Disoovery of Ruins. —On tho North side
of St. John’s river, and about five hundred miles
southeast from Great Salt Lako City, we travelled
over a section of country, mostly among the moun
tains, and about forty miles in length, up and
down the river, by twenty-five miles in width,
covered with tno ruins of former towns and
villages. The walls of many bui’dings are still
standing entire, some of them tfcreo or four sto
ries high, with the ends of the red cedar j ;-ts
yet in tho walls, some projecting eight or ten
inches, but worn to a pjint at thoir extremities.
Every building was a fortification built in the
strongefet manner imaginable, and in a style that
the present age know nothing of; many of them
still plainly show the whole manner of structure,
and even the marks of the workmen’s tools. The
first ruins we discovered were three buildings,
crumbled to mere heaps. One appeared to have
been a pottery, for in and around it were loads of
fragments of crockery of fine quality, ornamented
with a great variety of figures, painted with various
colors, as bright as if put on but yesterday.
Mayob Wood Ahono the Cyprians.— Tho Now

The Mayor’s office yesterday presented t pain"

onward efforts at reformation; they were conveyed
to the Tombs, and taken thence yesterday to tho
Mayor’s office—-marchiniftwo abreas*, and attract

train, and thronged the passages of tho City Hall,
anxious to learn the fate of the accused. The frail
ones wore from the Eighth and Fourteenth wards
—fair specimens of our city morality—and their
ages varied between fifteen and five and thirty
years. They were called up in order before J ustice
Osborae, confronted with the accusing policemen,
and disposed of with considerable facility, accord

About thirty wore sent to the penitentiary lor
terms of imprisonment varying from one to six
months, and a few of the leß3 hardened in crime
were discharged on the promise that they would
“go and sin no more.” The complaint against one
female was dismissed on its being shown that she

Lexington’s threat Race va. Time.—@2o,ooo.
: . remarkable racing evont of modern
sime3, and sndeed of all time, will come off to
morrow over the Metairie Course, should the
weather prove favorable up to the time of starting,
which is announced for half past 3 o’clook, P. M.
Lexington, a son of the world-renowned Boston,
is matched to perform a feat which ho has never
yet performed, which Lecompte accomplished
under perhaps the most favorable circumstances
of good order of the coarse, fine weather, balmy
atmosphere, and his excellent condition. We
annex the challenge made by the owner of Lexing
ton, giving at once an insight into the matter,
which we copy from the Spirit of the Times of Sd
June last:
As Lexington will probably follow the fashion in
making a foreign tour, I propose the following as
his valedictory: I will run him a single four miles
over tho Metaire Course, at New Orleans, (under
the rules of the club,) against the fastest time at
lour miles that has beeu run in America, for the
sum of Ten Thousand dollars , one-fourth forfeit.
Two trials to be allowed—and the race to bo run
bet ween tho Ist and 15th of April noxt. Arrow to
be substituted if Lexington is amiss.
On tho 17th of June lollowing, tho Spirit says:
‘’The challonge has been accepted and the for
te:t deposited with our friends Messrs. Coleman
i~rn^ son> of the Astor House, in this city.
f v , i? 6ll t‘Omen, aocoptors of the challonge, are
Colvin Green and Capt. John Belcher, of Vir
circl** £>* u^ouiei3l well known in Bporting
VV o learn that a gentleman representing the Vir
giiu i party arrivod in this city a few dayß ago, in
vested with plenary powers. The judges and
imers havo boon appointed, and a better selection
could not have beeu made than in his Excellency,
Gov. P. O. Hebert, Gon. 8. W. Wostmore, and
Jno. G. Cocks, Esq., the President of tho club, as
judges, and Hon. D. F. Kenner, Capt. Wm. J.
Minor, and Stephen D. Elliott, as timers.
It is agreed between the parties that Lexington
may be accompanied in his triai by a horse or 1
horses, and that any changes of horses may bo
made that circumstances render necessary. This
will, of course increase the interest of the scene,
and givo it tho appearance of a regular contest.
Although tho timo at four miles mado by Le
comto in his contest with Lexington is the point
which the latter has to reach upon the present
occasion—viz: 7:26—it may not be out of place to
no’o tho best time made by other horses of re
nown in the day of their supremacy upon the
turf. Os these may \ o named Henry, 7:37; Grey
Modoc and Altorf, dead heat 7:35; Boston, tho
fastest heat ho ever ran and won, 7:40; Fashion,
7:82%; Miss Foote, second heat, 7:85; Goo. Mar
tin, with Reel, tho dam of Lecomte, (in which hoat
the broke down,) 7:33; Frco Trade, 7:33. Keub.
the winn rof many races and an agod horse, did
that which ka9 not yot been surpassed; ho ran
and won a hoat, with all his proper weight, at his
ease, in 7:401 Wo could naun many others in
this connection, but those willsuffioo. We inclino
to the opinion that time alone is but at bost
a fallacious test of the superiority of a race horao,
unless, as in this instance, it boats tho best evor
made.
It would havo been no easy matter, daring tho
lifetime of Col. Wm. R. Johnson, the well-named
“ Napoleon of tho turf,” to convince him that his
favorite maro, Reality, the grand-dam of tho ro
nowned Fashion, could not have boaton all tho
hones that appeared upon tho American turf in
hi u day, and yot in hor palmy days, no romarkablc
timo was recorded. Her only record is superiority
over those of her day.
There aro so many contingent circumstances
which may be couneoted with tho success of this
unexampled exploit, any one of which might turn
tho tide f gainst the horse, that it willrequiro more
than an ordinary degroe of judgment, and wo
might also say foresight, to take advantage of thorn
and grasp them at the moment. “Timo wails lor
no man,” nor horse. The all-important aid of
brilliant sky, balmy southern broeze, elastic,
Mnootli course, aud the unexceptionable condition
of tho horse, must all bo brought to bear iu his
behalf, to insure success. That all theso attributes
may oporuie lavorubly, is our fervent wish.
The temerity of Lexington’s owner in sending
this challenge to tho world, in tho face of a recent
defeat, when the unparalleled time of 7:26 was
mode, form 3 an event in tho annals of tho Ameri
can turf which timo cannot obliterate.
Should success attend the effort, he will havo
the proud satisfaction of possessing tho champion
of America.
Fire* in Macon.
On Thursday morning, the 29th ult., about 3
o’clock, a fire broke out in a stable, immediately
in the roar of this office, aud attached to the dwell
ing on Cherry st., owued by N. C. Munroo, Esq.,
imd occupied by J. S. Hutton. Tho stable was

From ihe New Orleans Picayune of Saturday,
Arrival of the Daniel Webster.
The steam ship Daniel Webster, Capt. Lucas,
from San Juan, arrived at half past eloven o’clock
last night. Tho Daniel Webstor left San Juan on
the 24th inst.

The Alta California of tho 9th, in its summary of
the nows of the week, says:
Tho ovonts of the past week are neither numer
ous nor startling. Tho bank excitement has iu a
great measure subsided. The suspended banks
h&vo not resumed, and it is altogether improbable
that any of them, with tho exception, perhaps, of
Rsgo* Bacon & Co. can resume. At Sonora, on
Sunday last, a mob gathered and broke open the
bank of Adams tfc Co. ; which had been closed since
the 28d ult. A committee was appointed and de
positors paid off to the full extent of their certifi
cates. Somo SIO,OOO above the evidence of depos
it was found in the vault. The creditors ol Dr.
Wright and Robinson have held several mootings,
with no result, however, other than satisfying ev
erybody that the asset 3 of these “ savings banks”
have been placed beyond tho reach of attachment.
Among the failures of mercantile housos during
the week may be mentioned those of Chapin,
Sawyer & Co. and S. B. Conrey.
Tho new discovered diggings—tho Kern river
mines—receive their full share of public altentiou.
People aro flocking thither by land and water.
The most wondertul stories, aro reported, many
of them undoubtedly vory much exaggerated.
Tho raiu huß fallou abundantly ot lato, and all
tho streams aro swollen. At Sacramento, tho river
iiaa been rising rapidly for aovoral dayß past, aud
on Wednesday was only two or throo foot below
maximum height attained since the foundation of
the city.
The Supreme Court adjourned on Tuesday, hav
ing; rendered a number of vory important de
cisions. Quo decision was to tho effect, that per
sons who enclosed lands in tho mining region can •
not hold them iigainst miners.
A “ oonilict of Courtß” is becoming quite inter
esting. The Supreme Court of this State decided
a month or two ago thatappeals could not bo taken
from tho State Csurts to tho United States, aud
Judge Shattuok of the Superior Court of San Fran
cisco, disregarded this decision and transferred a
case to the U. S. District Court. Down comes tho
Supremo Court with a peremptory mandamus,
commanding him, &0., but it was of no avail, for
Judge Shatluck recognizes a higher law, and says
ho “shall not touch tho caso again.”

Mr. Mansfield.
The AHu California, in its commercial article of
the evening of tho Bth, says:
The business of tho past week has not been so
lioavy by any moans ns it was generally supposed
it would be. The idea prevailed heretofore that
the first week of continuous rain would bring about
i.u immediate revival in trade, and induce an active
demand for goods. Such has not so far proved to
be the case; bat wo see in this no cause for dis
couragement. Wo look upon the business in the
country as certain, aud although the financial crisis
t hrough which we ha ve just passed may retard
orders, and tho conditions of the roads may im
pede the transportation of goods, tho wants of the
country must bo supplied sooner or later, aud tho
trade of this week or of this month wilt only be
forced into tho noxt, as soon as tne business really
commences.
Wo are informed by Messrß. Page, liacon & Co.,
that thoy aro oxor’ing themselves with the greatest
energy in ordor to resume their business at an oar

Devastation was in port—ofiioors and crow all

The nows from Nicaragua is important. Cha

Thera were somo fears that the death of Cha

but if Coral become the ohief of the people, which
is probable, he being a very popular and liberal
man, it is supposed his accession to power, would
bo tho moans of preventing runner bloodshed and
contention.
The Revolutionists have boeen driven from tho
vicinity of Giunada and returned to Leon, whero
thoy made a stand. On the 10th inst., a force
under Gen. Coral was dospatohod against them,
aud it ia probablo that a decisive engagement has
by this timo taken place.
By many persons, previous to tho death of Cha
morro, it was thought the revolution was nearly
ovor, and that quiet would bo soon restorod.
Communication ia now opon botwoen Granada

Dreadful Inundation in Holland— Seventy
Vo.la«es Submersed. —Accounts from the provin
ces of Guelderland and North Brabant Btate, that
iu consequenoo of tho driving lee of the rivers
having fixed itself in various points into barri
osdes, a vast quantity of territory lies now entirely
under water. As many as sovonty villages are
submerged; and when it is considered that
that the inhabitants of theso villages ore mostly of
tho vory poorest class, somo idea maybe formod of
tho great distress that prevails, and will for a
long timo prevail among thorn. Sinco 1820, suoh
inundations have not been known in Holland. At
Arnbeim, enormous dams have been constructed
in all haste, to prevent the entire town being sub
merged. Tho Rhenish railway, will, it is appro
hended, become impassible.
In tho village of Veenhendaal the water covers
the lops of the houses, most of which will bo left
undermined and in ruins. Tho consequeucos will
be of tho most serious character, as a vast quantity
of land will bo thrown out of cultivation for many
months.
Accounts from the Lower and Upper Rhine, and
from tho province of North Brabant, continuo to
boos tho most distressing description. Wo hoar
of houses undermined and beaten down by tho
inundating waters, while others, more capable of
resisting thoir violence, stand with their roofs
peering above the surrounding flood. In ono in
stance, in a village near Dasseldorf, the inhabi
tants had not timo to effect thoir escape before the
waters dashed in, sweeping alt before them. Many
poor creatures were drowned, though not so many,
happily, as under the circumstances might have
boon expocted. To those who escaped, the only
place of safety was in the highor stories of thoir
dwellings, ana many instances occurred of people
being obliged to seek safety on the roof of their
cottages, whither no assistance could be conveyed
to them in consequence of tho enormous masses of
ice dashing about on the surface of the encroach
ing waters.
The village of Voenandaal has suffered severely;
tha inhabitants have left—i. e., have been driven
from their homes en masse, and may be seen bring
ing with them their children, their furniture, and
what provision they could save, seeking shelter in
tho neighboring villages.
The Tragedy at Wythebville.—We find the
following particulars of the Wythenrille tragedy, a
full account of which wo published by telegraph
yesterday :—Richmond Jjispcttck,
William H. Graham, a citizen of Wythe county,
was in the bar room of Col. Boyd’s hotel about 9
o’clock at night, with several other gentlemen,
when Mr. Spiiler came in and took a seat. Graham
at the same time left the room, went up to his own
room, returned in a few minutes, and immediately
commenced firing at Spiiler. The first and second
bails took effect in the arm and back of Mr. Wm.
Terry, former editor of the Telegraph, and the next
struck Mr. C. F. Trigg, candidate for CoDgrens.
Mr. Oscar Cox was also wounded—tho wounds of
these gentlemen, howover, are not serious. Mr.
Spiiler made his escape from the room and had
reached the street, whore he was pursued and fired
upon twice by Graham, one ball taking effect in
the heart and the other in tho herd, from which he
died immediately. As soon as the villian had ac
complished his fiendish purposo he made his es
cape.
The family of the deceased have offered SI,OOO
for his apprehension. Tho following is a descrip
tion of him.
“ He is a man of large frame, about six feet two
or throo inches high, with black hair, short and
rather sandy colored monstacho, a good set of
teeth, with a laughing, but not a pleasant counte
nance, when in conversation, and a scar upon
either side of tho neck, a little below the angle of
the jaw. Graham usually dresses genteelly, and
when he fled, hod on a black cloth suit, and a
biacksatin vest.

Wounds in the Heart. —Tho late case of 1
the Hew York bruiser, who lived for two wceK
with a pistol ball imbedded in his heart, has been
thought by many to havo bean ucparalleled, ana
by some is disboliovod on tho strength of tho pop
ular uotion that any wound of the heart is neces
sarily immediately fatal. The Louisville Courier,
however, has takon up tho matter at length ana
presents many curious and well authenticated oases
to show how orroneous are tho gonoral notions
respecting wounds of tho heart. ~
A physician of McNairy county, Tennessee, yr.
KandalJ, roportod many years ag:> the case ot »
negro boy, who was wounded in tho chest with *
load of shot. The wound was given on the sin oi
April, and tho treatment of tho caso was skillful
and very judicious. It was directed to the rob®*
of tho lung, and thoro was no indication that the
heart was wounded. Tho boy seemed to recover
regularly and slowly up to the sixty seventh day,
when ho died suddenly, from over-indulgence in
oating. Tho lung which was wounded never per
formed sorvioe alter receiving the shot, and the
death was due to tho condition of the lung. {- n
tracing the course of tho wounds, after death, the
physicians woro astonished at liudiug three shot
in the bottom of tho ventricle and two shot in the
bottom of tho auricle of the heart. Tho wounds
mado in the substance of the heart woro all firmly
healed, and the internal surface of tho cavities, in
which the shot woro found, belrayod no sign of
having suffered in ary way lrotn tho presence of
the shot. Tho boy lived from the sth of April to
tho 11th ot June, or sixty-seven days, and the
death was duo to tho lung according to tho physi
cians iu the case, aud not to tho shot in tho heart.
In tho Diclionaire Ktitoak, Saviard mentions a
case in which tho ki\. vontriclo of tho heart and
tho Boptum or wall which divided it lrom the right
vontricle wore pierced through. Tho man lived
tour or livo days. A clot of blood undoubtedly
closed the opening at onco and prevented homor
rhag*. In anothor cubo the right ventricle v*n»
pierced aud tho victim lived flvo days. And in
auother caso a aword was passed through the right
ventricle, tho dlaphraglna, and liver, an l \,ho man
lived until tho ninth day. Morand exhibited this
heart to tho French Academy of Science, in 1785,
Al. Levoillereports ft c.ie in which the left ventri
cle was pioreou vertically, and a wound four or five
linos in length v.’as mado. This victim lived until
the 7th day. Dehor.;, Khodius, and Fantoni men
tion casos ot wounds of tho heart that were not
fatal until tho 14lh, 16fh, 17th, aud oven the 20th
day.
The heart muy contract spasmodically at tho
momont tho woapon inflicts tho damage, and thus
close tho wound until a clot of blood forms and
prevents homorrhrge. Ambrose Fare, the groat
French surgeon, gives a romarkublc case, evident
ly of this kiud. And a caso roportod by Schenk,
in a studont of lugolstadt, was certainly of this
character.— Balt, Amer.
Bat probably the most extraordinary case of a
gun-shot wound iu tho boart, occurred in Cincin
nati, in 1885. A Dr. Simmons reports! tho case in
tho Western Journal of Medicine and of tho Phys
ical Scioncea. On tho 21st of December, a man
named Maguire was shot in tho chest with a ball
weighing 74 to tho pound. After boing wounded
ho chased his antagonist with activity the distance
of several rods, ana tlion became faint and foil.—
The attention of the physicians was directed to the
possiblo occurrence of gang:one of tho lung, und
tho treatment was dosiguod to prevent that rosult.
There was no sign in the symptoms of a wound in
the heart. There was grout thirst, us there is in
all gun-ahot wounds, iutonso pain iu tho r.gionof
the stomaoh, an accelerated pulse, with a wiry jerk
on the second day, but there was no disturbance
of tho respiration until tho 4th day. Tho man died
on the fifth day, or 97 hours after tho wound.—
Tho examination after death rovealod a romarkable
state of things in the lioart. About two and a half
iuehos from its apex there was the appearance of a
healed wound. It was not, of course, firm, for a
blunt pointod probe passed through this healing
material into the right vonlrioleoflho lioart. Tho
internal surfaeo of tho ventricle exhibited a luoe
rated wound, but no traco of tho ball could be
found. Tho auricle was not wouilded, and groat
mystery prevailed over tho lost traco of tho ball.—
The ascending vein which poure into tho right
auricle all the asconding bltod from tho lower di
visions of the body, and tho right ventrieie and
anriclo wore filled with what is called cougnlable
lymph.
Tho great myatory in tho case was tho ontiro loss
of ail trace of the ball. It was not in the ventriolo
into which it had certainly passed, nor was there
any porcepliclo wound of the auricle to mark its
passage through it. In this state of thing-*, the
large vein of which wo have spoken was tied, and
the heart and the part of tho vein were taken out
and placed iu water. While they woro undergo
ing macorutiou, tho young man, who was attond
iug the maceration, thought tliore woro evidences
of a bruise on what is callod tho tricaspod valve.
There is an oval opening between the right auricle
aud vontriole which is closed by this valve. Tho
diseovory thus mudo by maceration gave a clue to
a search for tho ball. As it bad evidently, by tho
projectile lorco of the powdor, passed through the
ventricle and into the right anriclo, through tba
oval opening, the search for it wu3 mado iu the
largo vein ox which woibavo spoken as the vessel
which conveys tho blood from the lower members
of tho body into tho right auricle. This vein is
the largest iu the human body. The two veins
from tho right and left extremities unite together
opposilo tho fourth bono in what is callod tho
loins, aud makes this largo venous trunk. In the
right one of those two veins the ball was found.
Tbaoioai. Anr air—Two Mas BuoT.—Yesterday,
at a quarter past ono o’clock, tho lower portion of
the city was thrown into much oteitement by a
shooting affray which occurred on lioyal street,
opposite tho Buttlo House. The particulars of the
affair, as near us wo could ascertain them, aro
thoso : A quarrel had takfu pU'eo dtfring the fore
noon between tnc parties, W flfiatn Metcalf, Tho*.
Tuggles and Berry Odam, all of them pilots on the
river. With tho cause of tho difficulty wo aro
unacquainted, but tho two formor persons were
greatly inoensed against Odam, and many insult
ing and throatonieg expressions passed botwoon
them. A short time beforo the affray oocurred,
Odam, fearing that the quarrot would BO result,
nad urntod liimseJi'with a rovolvorand bewio knife,
and °n bis return u> u,,, place of altercation, was
insulted and struck at by Metonlf. Whereupon
he drew his pistol, placed himself in an nitUuUa
of defonoe, and warned Metcalf not to upproaoh
him on peril of his life, whon Metcalf, provided
himself with u long strip of piank, advanced upon
him and Odam continued to retreat for many yards
with his pistol presented, finally Metcalf came
within roach and appeared to bo in tho act of stri
king, when Odam tired, the ball tearing up the
flesh of tho loft arm and entoring tho side of Met
calf, inflicting a scrions but notdangorous wound.
Immediately on tho discharge of tho weapon,
Mr. Tuggles, who had followed op the parties,
sprang towards Odam with a drawn bowie finite in
his hand, and whon ho had approached almost
within striking distance, the pistol was again dis
charged, the ball entoring his breast some four
inches below the loft nipple. The woundon man
was taken into a shop, laid upon a sofa, and though
there was bo outward effusion of blood, Internal
hemorrhage immediately ensued, and he died in
an hour and a half alter receiving the wound. He
retained his senses and spoke uftcr being shot, and
did not appear to suffer much. Mr. Tuggles waa
a native ot Home, Georgia, and was much esteemed
by his acquaintances. His doportmoni, generally,

The Owian and xxb Bepius.—Professor Olm
stesd, of New Haven, has contributed to the last
number of the New Englander (a quarterly publi
cation) an article entitled “A Philosophical Bur
voy of the Ocean," from which wo extract the fol
lowing paragraph. The author commonda highly
the labors of Lieut. Maury :
“The waters of tho ocean cover nearly three
fourths (or, more exactly, fivo-eovontbs) of the
surface of the globe; and of tho thirty-eight mil
lions of miles of dry land in existence, twenty
eight belonging to tho northern hemisphere. The
mean depth or tho ocean has been variously stated,
but may for tho present bo taken at four miles.—
numerous soundings now in progress will soon
enable us to stiouk with more definiteness on this
point. Enough has already boon done to prove
that the depth is exceedingly unequal; that, like
the Burlaee of tho oartb, tho bottom of the ocean
hero rises in mountain peaks and there sinks in
deep valleys. Until recently tho deepest sounding
e/er made was that by Capt. Scoresby in the polar
seas, which wis short of a mile and a half. Aa
latoaslß4B the maximum sounding was that of
Capt. Boss in tho South Atlantic, and gave 27,800
feet, or a little over five miles, without Hading
bottom.
But more recently, at a point of the Atlantio
further north, Lieut. Welsh, of the United States
soheoner Taney, sounded without reaebieg bottom
to the depth of 82,400 feot, or nearly <i)4 miles—
Within a short time, Capt. Donham communicated
to the Royal Society a report of having reached the
bottom of the Atlantio in a passage from Kio Ja
neiro to tho Cano of (food Hope, at the astonish
ing depth of 7,70 G fathoms, or miles—a depth
so profound that the plummet occupied i» its de
scent from the reel nearly hours. From those
results, it appoars that tbo depths of tho ocean ex
ceed the heights of tho mountains, since the lofti
est summits of tho Himmalayaare little more than
28,000 foot, or 5% miles. Notwithstanding these
enormous depths, thoro aro largo tracts of tho
ocean comparatively shallow; and in the imme
diate vicinity of placos where no bottom could be
found were ['.pots of no uncommon depths. These
facts indicate that the bed of the sea is diversified
like tho surface of the arfh. The (iulf oi Mexico
is thought not to exceed on an average one mile;
and the fclroonla'd boss are of such moderate depta
that whales when harpooned often run to the Mt
tom, as is indica’ad by thoir appearance when msy
rise again to the surface. Whale’ are P f
posed to seek a part of their food at
the sea.”

namohlet against the Emperor Louis was recently
rmXhed In Belgium, and its authorship was

the discovery of i’s authorship.

be tho result of tho Vienna Conference, such is
the condition of Europe that it oannot be main

The Washington correspondent of the N. York
Commercial Advertiser, says Mr. Soule iB recon
ciled with the administration:
“ He does not consider that Mr. Maroy’s rebuke
falls upon him personally, with any more weight
than upon his colleagues, Mr. Buchanan and Mr.
Mason. He cannot make a personal quarrel with
Mr. Marey or the President, on the ground that
their foreign policy is, as ho thinks, weak ana
vacillating, and calculated to bring <he govern
ment into contempt abroad.”
