The Riohest Court Scene Out.
The following anousiugcase was tried at the
recent term of the Orange Couuty Court, and we
fiud it reported in the Newburg Telegraph.
The People against James Allington. District At
torney for People—Prisoner in person.
This was one of the most amusing trials ever
witnessed by bench or jury in this country. The
prisoner was indicted lor an assault and battery
upon a man by tbe name of Dodder. It seems
that a plank road had just been laid in the town
of Minisink, running through the lands of said
Dodder, and that Allington is the toll-gatherer,
and that tbe gate- house is built upon the adjoin
ing lands of Dodder. The other facte will appear
in the evidence. ai h.
The cause was duly opened by the District
Attorney^ honor,, the Judge, noticed
counsel, Mr. Allington?' 1 in-
plenty of gentlemen around you,
“Well, your honor, I have lee’d one and engag
ed another, and they both turn up missing, and
therefore f have concluded to try the case my
self,”
“Very well, sir”
The District Attorney, after stating the case to
thajury, called the complainant, Mr. Dodder, to
dplitand, who testified as follows ;
I know he isa neighbor of mine.
I was driving his cows off my land, when he
came out upon the road and stoned me. He sent
as many as a dozen at me, and the last one
struck me upon the back of the neck. It hurt
me considerable—-not very badly, however, as
the rim ot my hat hung down,and it and the coat
collar prevented.
-■-•y*'' 4 “You can examine him now Mr. Allington,”
said the District Attorney.
AH eyes were now turned upon the defen
dant. There he sat, busily engaged in taking
notes, a little, short red-faced Yankee, with his
feet resting on the lower round of the chair, and
and his body bent forward at an angle of forty
five degrees. At that remark, he snapped his
bead back, like a blade it.- a jack-Hhife, his eyes
twinkled, and in a shrill, toud voice, he com
menced:
“Have you been on good terms with the de
fendant, I mean me, Mr. Dodder?”
Dodder hesitated,
**Ceme, Mr. Dodder, have we been on good
terms?”
“I can’t say,” replied Dodder.
“Well, recollect, Mr. Dodder, that you must
say.” ■
“Say yes or no,” inteiposed his honor.
“Yes or no,” lesponded the defendant.
“I cau’t say that we are on speaking terms,”
answered Dodder.
“Well, Mr. Dodder, you say I struel you with
a stone—will you please state fcp the jury whethei
it was the first stone that struck you 1 ”
“No sir.” .jgi
“Did it not go tiiteen feet to the right*”
“About that.”
m‘,Well, was it the second?”
“No sir.”
“Did not that go three feet over your head?”
‘‘Yes sir.” _
“Were you not running after my cow with a
stake sharpened at one end? and did you not
knock her down? and was it not because you
would not stop, that 1 sent the other stone at
you?”
“Well, sir, 1 must explain.”
“None of your rigmaioles here, Mr. Dodder.
No explanations, sir—yes or no, sir.”
“I can’t answer.”
“You must answer. Come, sir, yes or no.”
“It wasn’t a stake; it was a stick.”
■ \es, 2| inches at the butt, and twelve feet
long.”
“No, Sir, one inch across, and tapering to the
end.”
“loir knocked the cow down, didn’t you?”
“I struck at say I struck her.”
“Didn’t she fait”
“Can’t say.”
“Well, Mr. Dodder you were chasing her,
were you not?”
“I was in the road, sir, and she was on the
side.”
“Was it icy?”
“Yes.”
“Snow deep? ’’ '• IfBL §i r
“Yes.” _
“Now will you say on your oath, Mr. Dodder,
that you did not srtike her l ”
„ Witness hesitating:
“I will not be positive.”
“Well, Mr. Dodder, were you not coming to
wards roe?”
“Yes, sir.”
“You was coming up the road, and I was com
ing down?”
“Yes, sir.”
“You did not run back at all, did vou?”
“No, sir.”
ou are sure you did not look or go back, are
you?” j
‘ Certainly, I am.” *
“Are you as positive of that, as you are of all
the rest you have sworn to?”
“I am, sir.”
“ Well, sir, will you then please to inform this
jury and myself, how that stone came, then, to
strike you on the back of the neck?”
Witness was evidently non-plussed, and a roar
of laughter burst from the bench, bar and jury,
as well as tbe spectators.
"A “ I am not done with you yet,” exclaimed the
( defendant, as Mr. Dodder seemed rather uneasy,
and inclined to vacate the chair.
“ Whose house do I live in, Mr. Dodder ?”
| “ I consider it mine.”
“ Whose house do you live in, Mr. Dodder?”
“ I consider it mine.”
“ Did you serve a notice on me not to use the
rooms, the garret, or cellar, when I was moving
i in it?” 6
-3, “Yes, sir.”
P “ Was there anything else to use, sir *”
ii “No sir.”
“ Who built that house ?”
“ The Plank Road Company.”
“ How did you come to say that the house was
yours, when theCompauy have it in possession,
and built it ?”
Another burst of laughter followed this ques
tion, and poor Dodder looked as if he was setting
upon aha chet. Dodder gave no reply,
ft “ Now, Mr. Dodder, have you not been trying
to get me out of that house, that you migr.t get
your sou in my place ? And have you not been
to the directors ? and have you not applied to
them for your son 1 and have you not told them
things derogatory to my character ?”
Dodder drew himself up to answer each ques
i tion at length, when he was stopped ’by
ant, who exclaimed
“None of your long preambles, Mr. Dodder,
you know it is so, and I am going *o prove it’
too. Yes or no.”
“ I can’t answer; I must explain.”
“No explanations, sir—yes or no.”
** No.”
“ Did you not go to three of the daectois ?” 1
Ii " Yt * ”
“ Did you not order a window put in the cel- ‘
far of the house, when building, and say you j
wanted it there for your son’s accommodation »”
“ Did yoi: not get a warrant out foi me Leioia
1 was bound over to apfieer here ?”
“ Yes.”
“ Did you not then swear tba_t I had only as
saulted you by throwing stones,'"but did not hit I
you V J
Dodder was completely staggered again—he i
changed all manner of colors, and moved about ‘
» uneasily in his chair.
ome Mr. Dodder, answer,” exclaimed the
. ** l can’t remember.”
“ Yes you uo—come, think— did you then j
swear I had hit you at all sir ?”
* •* I might not.”
“ How comes it that you remember it now—
three months after—and could not then **’ i
Thi# was text much for poor Dodder. He look
4 apjieaiin around for relief. Nothing met ,
his gaze but a room convulsed with laughter.— ‘
His legs seemed to be under magnetic influence,
and in great desire to try their powers of loco- |
motion. At last the defendant told him to go.
That will do, Mr. Dodder—l guess we are
through with you for the present.” And off he
shot as if death was behind him ; while the whole
bar fairly screamed as he made Awful strides
down the aisle, and the Court buried their faces
in their handkerchiefs, and shook convulsively, i
Dodder No. 2 was then called—son of old
D-idder—who testified as follows:
I was in the house—heard a noise—saw fath
ei <’iiving cows ; saw defendant come out of his
hcn-e and throw stones ; I ran out and a hill was
bet ween me and them, and when I got up all
was oyer. Saw defendant throw three stories—
did uot see any strike.”
Cross examined by defendant: *
u K ou , were * n the house, you say ?”
Yes.”
“ Is there not a hill twenty feet high, between
your house and where I was ?”
“ About that.”
How many stone walls, also—about four !”
“ About that.”
• How many plank fence, or slab-fences, two?”
“ Only one, I think.”
“ W ell, sir, how could you see through four
stone walls,one 6lab fence and a hill twenty feet
high? That will do sir; you car go.”
And without waiting for a reply’, oft* went
Dodder No. 2.
District Attorney on the part of the people,
here rested.
Jhe defendant, then, with all the gravity be
coming such an important occasion, untwisted his
legs from the rounds ot the chair, and, with more
than usual dignity, walked out in front of the
jury, and offered his defence as follows:
I t you please, your Honor and Gentlemen of
the Jury—l am a green hand at this ’ere bizzi
r.ess. lam ashamed that such a little, small
consairn should ever come before an Orange Co.
Jury. It was not my wish, lam sure. I was
taken up once before, and then he only swore to
an assault; but three months’ thinking has put
the battery to it. I acknowledge the assault,
but I am justified, for be was assaulting my cow.
He has tried to pick a quarrel with me ever since
1 went to the gate. He stones my cows, my
chickens, and I can’t stand it. 1 threw the stones,
I a'med it, first, fifteen feet to the right, then over
his head, and when I saw the cow fall, as he
knocked her down, then I did shave him, but I
didn’t hit him, and that ain’t all, I’ll prove it;
and I ask you, farmers, if you wrould not do the
same thing?—l can prove he knocked her down,
by my brother.
Defendant’s brother was then called, and stated
that it was on Sunday, when the occui rence hap
pened ; saw complainant, Dodder, running after,
and striking at defendant’s cows. Saw him
strike, and one fell—can’t say he struck her.—
Defendant ran out, and halloed to him—did not
mind. Defendant then threw stones, none hit
him, 1 went out, and when I came to Dodder he
said defendant had thrown stones at him, but he
had managed by jumping and dodging not to
have any hit him.
The testimony here closed.
The defendant then proceeded to sum up the
case. His Honor dropped his pen, the jury lean
ed forward, the members of the bar were wink
ing and nodding across to one another, and a
universal tittering pervaded tire room. He com
menced, and his sharp, shrill voice drowned all
else:
‘ Gentlemen of the jury—This is the first time
1 was ever in such a pickle—never did I appear
before a jury of my country. This Mr. Dodder
has brought me here, and I have to appeal to you,
‘ not knowing whether you are Woolly Heads’
Silver Greys, Hard Shells, or Soft Shells. Yet I
think this Dodder wiil find out before 1 am
through, that I am a harder shell than he imagin
ed.
You know, gentlemen, that I am in the em
ploy ot the Mongaup Valley, Forestburg, and
Port Jervis Plank Road Company, as a gate
keeper. The company, it seems, had sufficient
{ confidence in my integrity and honesty to place
me in that important station, and even it I should
, receive $3 000 and steal $1,500 of it, that’s be
. tween me and the company, and it’s none of
Dodder’s business. Now, when the company
sent me up along the road to collect tolls this Dod
der was one of the inhabitants 1 found there in the
woods, and I will say for him that he is a very
fair specimen of the rest of the population. But
there isn’t any of them that seem to appreciate
all the benefits of this Plank Road.
t ft led out to civilization, and also to a class of
jieople, who never before had the idea there was
, such a thing as civilized life, and this Dodder is
one of them. It is a fact that, soon after I moved
up there, a young woman, 16 years o<d, cum
down out of the mountains on the plank road, or.e
day, and said she had never been out betoie. She
fairly seemed surprised to see a white man, and
after asking a few questions, went back into the
’ woods. This Dodder was my nearest neighbor,
, and a good deal nearer than 1 wanted him, and I
hadn’t been there long before I heard that he
had been lying about me to one of the Directors
and I soon lound that he wanted to get his son,’
who has sworn here against me in my place.—
But he hasu’t done it yet, and if you don’t con
vict me, I reckon he won’t very soon.
’ It won’t take long to dispose of Dodder No. 2.
He testifies that he saw me throw three stones
at his farther, and saw the old man dodge. On
cross examination, he says that he was in his
own house in the woods, and had to look over a
hill twenty feet high, and also over three slab
fences,and two-stone walls. Well! if be telts
the truth, all I wish is that I had young Dodder’s
eyes. He is certainly a remarkable boy,and can’t
consistently deny his ‘father!’
I am willing to admit that I done wrong to
throw stones at Dodder, and I apologize to alt the
world, and this county particularly, lor it. The
Doctor tells us that there are two causes for ail
diseases, predisposition and excitability. 1 think
it was the latter cause that moved me to stone
Dodder.
I thereto e confess myself guilty of the assault,
but the battery I deny! and if you find me guilty
of the battery. I will appeal from the decision to
the Court of high Heaven itself, before I will
submit to it.
Now, gentlemen, syou saw Mr. Dodder and
heard him swear against me. 1 asked him a
great many questions, and I was sorry to hear
him answer as he did. I might have asked him
more—l might have asked him if he din’t kill
my cat, and if he didn’t stone my chickens, because
they trespassed in his woods, where actually the
rocks are so thick, that the cats can’t find their
way up through them jbutthen I knew he would
deny, and it would grieve me to hear him. He
admits that he was driving my three cows up the !
road, and that he struck at one of them, but says
it was with a switch. 1 have proved that this
switch was a pole, about ten feet long, and about
two inches across the butt end, and I have also |
proved that when he struck the cow fell. It is |
true that my witness couldn’t swear that the stick !
hit her, he was so far off, but take the blow and !
the fall together, and we can guess the rest. If |
you, gentlemen, should see me point a gun at a
man, and pull the trigger, see the flash, and hear
tbe report, and at the same time see the man i
drop.! think you wouid say that I shot him I
although you might not see the ball strike him.’
Now, the fact is, gentlemen, that on Sunday, I
was ymgonmy lounge in my bouse, when my
wile said that Dodder was chasing my cows. I i
jumped up, and pulled on my boots and went out
ol doors, and saw Dodder and the cows coming !
up the road. It is true he says he wasn’t driv
mg them, but says he and the cows were both ‘
going along the road in one direction, and this 1
was as near as I could get him to the cows or the
truth ; but it is proved that the cows were going
along ahead of him, and he was following alter
j them,striking at them, with hsa little switch 10
feet long, and two inches across the butt, and l !
i icckon you’ll think he was driving them l
! *ung out to him, “Dodder, stop!” but he din't
j obey my order and I just threw a stone in that
I direction, which went about ten feet over his
: head; he at the same time going towards me.
j He paid no attention, and I sung out again
Dodder, stop ! 1 still he didn’t mind me, and then !
j I just threw another stone; but on he came, and .
on I went, and I threw a third stone, which he
says hit him on the back of the neck, but which
j 1 think is rather strange; a9 we were going to
! wards each other as last as we could go. But he
never slacked up, and by this time ,ve were
j within about eight leet of each other. I halted,
anq hoi.owed at the top of my voice, “Dodder
why in b—l don’t you stop ?” about then he did !
stop, and raised his ten feet switch as if to strike '
me-1 sang out—“ Mr. Dodder, look cut. y o u !
may wellup my cows, but if you wdlup me 1
with that switch, you’ll woilup an animal that 1
will hook ! | Here the orator made an appro
priate jesture of the head, as in the act of hook- |
mg, which was followed with tumultuous shouts i
and laughter that continued several minutes ]
Now, gentemen, if you convict me, thi i court <
can ana rna $250, and jug me for six monts, and
if you really think I ought to be convicted of tbe \
assault, say so, for 1 am in favor of living up to
the law, whether it is the Fugitive Slave Law,
the Nebraska Bill, or the Excise Laws. I will
read you a little law, however, which I have
just sfien in a book I found here— (the speaker
here picked up a law book, and read as lollows:)
“ Every man has a right to defend himself
from personal violence.” Now, I don’t know
whether that is law or not, but I find it in a law
book—(a veteran member of the bar, who was
sitting near the speaker, remarked to him that
i R WilS good law.] Well, gentlemen, here is an
old man, who looks as if he knew something, and
he says His good law. Now, if you will turn to
Barbour something, page 399, you’ll find that
the same doctrine applied to cattle—l great
laughter.] Therefore, I fake it I had a right to
defend my cows against Dodder’s ten foot switch.
Why, gentlemen, nearly all my wealth is invest
ed in them three cows, and you can’t wonder
that I became excited when I saw Dodder
switching them with his ten foot pole. I am a
j fioor man, and have a large family, consisting ot
a wife and six children, which I reckon is doing
pretty well for a small man as I am, and I could
not afford to let Dodder kill my cows.
Now, gentlemen, I don’t believe you’ll con
vict me, alter what I have said. But if you do,
and this court fines me $250, I shall “repu Jiate,”
“because I can’t pay.” And if lam jugged for
six months, why these Dodders will have it all
their own way up there. But, notwithstanding
all this, I am willing to risk myself in your hands
and if you thiuk I ought to have stood by and
not done anything, when I saw Dodder ham
mering my cows, why then I’m “ gone in,” toll
; gate and all.
It is true, I am a poor man, but not a mean
one. The name ol Allington can be traced to
the Mayflower; when she landed the Pilgrims
on Plymouth Rock, among the passengers was
a widow, Mary Allington, with four fatherless
| children, and I am descended from the Puritan
stock ; and from that day to this, there has ne
; yer lived an Allington who hasn’t Yankee spir
it enough to stone a Dodder for polling bis
cows.
Roars of laughter, during which the defend
ant took his seat. After a tew words from his
Honor, the jury retired, and in a few moments
returned, with a verdict of Not Guilty.
Old Dodder, and Dodder No. 2. were at that
I instant seen plunging down the stairs leading to
the Court Yard with unbounded powers of loco
motion; when the yard was gained, they fairly
run, and it is supposed, never stopped until the
deep woods of Minisink hid them from the gaze
j ot men.
Allington heard the verdict with the sang
; froid ot a philosopher. No motion, other than
the turning of his quid of his tobacco in his
mouth, and an extra squirt of juice, wa3 observ
-1 able.
It may be as well to remark .that the District
j Attorney refused to be pitted against his elo
quent opponent, and let the cause go by default,
as he said not a word in reply to his speech.-i-
The District Attorney was in a tight place, and
took the wisest course to get out. It is not of
ten that he meets with such formidable prison
ers.
South Carolina Legislature.
I Columbia, Dec. 19.— Senate.— The Blue
Ridge Railroad bill, as returned lrom the House,

My attention has been called to a grossly li
bellous attack in the Express of this morning,
upon Mr. Charles F. Loosey, the Austrian con
sul, in reference to his departure for Eurcpe.
Mr. Loosey’s intended visit to Austria, for tbe
purpose of laying before the Emperor plans of
steamers lobe built„to run between this port and
Trieste, has long been known to his friends and
others
I happened to he or» board the Baltic on Satur
day morning and was conversing with Mr.
Loosey, when at eleven o’clock he was served
with a subpcenato attend as a witness at ten (an
hour before) at the Police Court at Jefferson
Market, to produce some bills ot lading which,
in fact, were in my office, and not in his posses
sion.
Mr. Loosey’s baggage and models were on
board, and it was impossible for him to obey the
subpoena, and sail in the Baltic. Under these
i circumstances, I advised him that he was not
i legally bound to attend the Court.
On Monday one of my partners (Mr. Laioc
que) took up to the Court, the bills of lading
which were called for.
Legal measures are in progress to bring the
editors of the Express to justice.

See first page of Daily, this morning.
A Chance for Poets.

be furnished one year to the author of the best

Amerioan Mediation between the Bellige
rents of Europe.
The proposition of Mr. Clingman, that the
President should offer the mediation of this gov
ernment to restore peace in Europe, grows in
favor with the public North and South. Here is
h is Preamble and Resolution.
“Whereas, the people of the Uuited States see,
with regret, that several of the great Powers of
Europe are engaged in a war which threatens to
be of long duration, and disastrous in its conse
quences to the industrial and social interests of a
large portion ot the civilized world, and being
under the favor of Providence, in the full enjoy
ment of the blessings of peace, distant from the
theatre of conflict, disconnected with the causes
of quarrel, between the parties belligerent, and
as a nation having no immediate interest in the
contest, and while not recognizing the right to
interfere either by force or even by menace, ne
vertheless, are of opinion that the controversy is
susceptible of pacific adjustment, through the in
terposition of a neutral and friendly Power:—
, Therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of America
. in Congress assembled, that the President be
requsted to tender the belligerants the mediation
of the United States in such manner as in his
. judgment, may seem most likely to lead to a pac-
I ification.”
It was offered on the 11th inst., in the House,
and but 47 votes were given for the suspension of
the rules, that it might be considered. The nays
were not counted. It was snubbed and sneered at’
at the time by Washington letter writers as absurd
a Buncombe move, &c. We consider it undeserv.
■ ing of harsh epithet, and Mr. Clingman, a gen
-1 tleman of too high a character to be liable to the
’ suspicion of selfishness and demagogeistn in this
matter. His motives are doubtless pure, and the
• views enlightened and humane which prompt
( him. We greatly doubt the efficacy of the step,
I even if the mediation be offered at this juncture.
ft should have been made sooner, before hostili- j
• ties broke out, and before the pride of the bellig- j
' erents had become involved to so embarrassing
an extent as now exists to interpose insuperable
obstacles to a pacific solution at this time.—
I They are now committed to positions from which
they will not recede without a great deal mote
waste ol blood and treasure. It is now reduced
to a struggle to be terminated only by the phy
sical exhaustion of the contestants, or by internal
revolutions in one or more of the countries at
war, in which the people will repudiate and pun
ish the folly ol their rulers. The w'ar, sanguin
-1 ary, expensive, and disastrous as it has been thus
far, is sustained with enthusiasm by the Russians,
and in England has still the popular sympathies.
The French, always unstable and inconstant,
have not yet shown marked resliveness under
its inflictions; but they will, probably, be the
first to move iu away to check the action of
their government, and when they do move Louis
Napoleon will have to yield, or lose his throne.—
That throne rests on a shifting ioundation. His
is a dynasty supported by the popular will alone,
having none of the institutions, traditions and
aristocratic interests of many centuries to sustain
it against the shocks of popular violence, as is
the case with the English throne. In England
j the popular voice manifests itself peacefully, and
I controls the action of the government. When
her’people get tired of the war, with its carnage
and taxes, and oppressive embarrassments to
trade, the government must succumb to their
will. A change of ministry must ensue, and one
reflecting the popular wishes be substituted.
The Queen is but a puppet. The throne has no
influence whatever on a question of peace or war.
j While doubting the efficacy of the proposed
I mediation, we fully coincide with the sen
! timents expressed in the following remarks
1 of the N. O. Delta , and the Mobile Register.
We would rejoice to find ourselves mistaken, and
see this country crowned with the noble chaplet j
of the Peace maker. Truly would it illustrate in !
the history of our country the proposition
“ Peace hath her victories, no less renowned;
than war.”
The European War.— We heartily agree
with the New Orleans Delta in its favorable
view of the proposition of Mr. Clingrnan, that
this country should offer its friendly meditation
between the great powers of Europe engaged in
-a desolating war, injurious not only tothem
j selves, but to the cause ol civilization and hu-
I inanity all over the world. The Delta says :
“ We doubt not both parties are pretty sick of
j this profitless war, and would be happy to bring
iit to a conclusion. The Allies, doubtless, are
' even more anxious than Russia to be rid of this
trouble. The age is not suited to war. The in
terests of commerce, civilization, and the arts,
are all opposed to the withdrawal of men from
the honest, peaceful, industrious pursuits, into
the barbarian employment of killing one anoth
er delinerately, and desolating the land which
God has given to man for his support and peace
ful abode. The evils of this system fall with
great force upon two enlightened nations like
| England and France, where every individual has
; his value a&jin integia! portion of the great pro
ductive mass.
“It isjreally a reflection upon the humanity and
intelligence of the Ehglish and French that they
should permit themselves to be drawn aside from
| their high objects, as avant courier* of modern
civilization, into a miserable strife merely to
1 sustain the lotten and declining destiny of a
| semi- barbarous people !
“The UnitedjStates suffer seriously from this
j course. Our commercial and monetary relations
with England and Frauce have become so deli- !
i cately intertwined and blended, that w l t seri
i ously disturbs the quiet and order of either pow
ers is seriously felt in the others. L'ence the
propriety of the proposed intervention by the
United States at the present juncture, before the
war has involved other powers of Europe, and
thrown the world back into the darkness and
gloom which en\ eloped it half a century ago.
It would certaiuly be an achievement worthy
of this Republic, if by its meditation it could
compiomise the war issues between the bellige
rents. It would be the more noble to undertake
these offices of peace, because a selfish policy on
the part of this country would dictate to it to
hold still while great powers which might be
formidable rivals were exhausting themselves in
the conflict. But these are the suggestions of
meaness and cowardice. If this Government
can do a humane act, if it can save the best blood
of the gentlemen of England, the chivalry of
France, and the resolute loyalty of Russia by its
intercession, it should do it, because it is right
and good in itself.
Such a meditation, it successful, too, would be
powerfully efficacious to make closer the bonds
of amity and peace, which, by so many commer
cial and national ties, bind this country to the
Western Powers. The Czar would doubtless
receive with respectful consideration and confi
dence peaceful overtures from the United States,
with which his friendly relatives have never
been disturbed. —Mobile Regitler.
The proposition that this country should offer
its mediation, is not a new one. It was broached
and advocated with great earnestness in this com
munity nearly a year ago, by a gentleman of
Athens, Mr. Wn. M. Morton, and was entitled
to more consideration than it then received. He
suggested that public meetings should be held
throughout the country, urging Congress and the
President to this step. The movement was not
seconded, and fell to the ground almost unno
ticed Then it might have been in time,
though we were then of a different opinion.
Could it have succeeded, millions upon millions
ot dollars would have been saved to the South,
in preventing the depreciation of cotton result
ing from the war, untold calamities to the com
mercial world have been avoided, and an amount
°t carnage prevented, the contemplation of which
sickens the soul with horror.
The Sandwich Islands.
A Washington correspondent of the N. York
Times, under date of the 6th inst,. uses the fol
lowing language’.
“Quite a number ol journals, both North and
South, are insisting upon the failure of all the
predictions ot the speedy annexation of the Sand
wich Islands. My confidence in the consumma
tion of that measure by’ the present Congress
has never been shaken in the slightest degree;
and I repeat, now, that within twenty or thirty
days I am perfectly satisfied the Treaty of An
nexation will be laid before the Senate of the
United States, and that the Territorial Govern
ment of Hawaii will be established ere the 4th
of March next.”
We have no doubt of the c. rrectness of the
prediction, that a treaty of annexation will be
laid shortly before the Senate. But we have
some doubt of its consummation. The commer
cial and manufacturing interests of the North
may, and probably do, unanimously favor the an
nexation. California, also, is anxious for it.
But we doubt whether the agricultural interests
of the country are enlisted in its favor, or would
be promoted by it. No strong inclination for it
is manifested at the South. Nor can we see that
the advantages to our country will compensate
for the expenditures that such a distant possession
would involve. We will not anticipate the dis
cussion that is to grow out of it, but patiently
await the considerations in its favor that will be
urged by the President, and the arguments pro
and con which will be offered in the Senate.

Pronunciation of Sebastopol.
The Baltimore American thus replies to the
correspondent who inquires as to the proper pro
nunciation of Sebastopol.
The rules regulating the pronunciation of Rus
sian geographical names are necessarily indefi
nite, as the Russians employ neither Roman
characters nor those that can be readily convert
ed into corresponding Roman letters. The usual
practice in such c< ses is to spell the name accor
ding to its sound in some well known European
tongue, and to regulate i s pronunciation by the
mode adopted with respect to homogeneous
names. The pronunciation preferred by our cor
respondent is undoubtedly that supported by the
best precedent and authority. According to the
Penny Cyclopaedia, and its decision is adopted
by other authorities, the pronunciation is—
Sev-as-<o pol, the accent being on the ante
penultimate, and the final syllable pronounced,
as if it was written pie , not pol. The pronuncia
tion of Constantinople, Adrianople, etc., may
serve, as a guide. Sevastopol or Sebastopol, is a
compound Greek word, made up of Sebastos and
polis , the former es which signifies august, most
holy, or sacred—the latter, a city, together, the
august city. Sebastos was a word appropriated
by the Roman Emperor of the Eastern Empire.
It was an Imperial prefix, and was the Greek
equivalent for the Latin Augustus, which was
applied to the Caesars. The name is now indif
ferently spelt Sebastopol and Sevastopol; the let
ter 6, among the modern Greeks, having almost
universally the sound of v.—Baltimore American.
