tr » Madison.—In oar peregrinations
doting the past two weeks, we had the pleasure
of spending a day or two in the beantifal town
of Madison. Although we often hare hoard
this place spoken of as one of many pleasing
characteristics, both as rcspects the refinement
ofite citizens, and the pleasantness of its scene
ry, we must confess our pre-eonceivod notions
of it fell far short of reality. It has not]been
our good fortune to visit any Interior town of
Georgia, which makes a more favorable Impres
sion upon the mind of an itinerant, than does
the one here alluded to. The people (so far
as we became acquainted with them) evinced
a degree of intelligence, to whioh it is the pre
rogative of the few only, to lay claim. In
deed it were a difficult task to determino which
should mosteliclt the admiration of the stranger
their hospitality and courtesy, or their refine-
ment of taste as exhibited in the structure of
their edifices, both public and private. Tbe
private dwellings exhibit a neatness and
ehasteness of style which give to the town an
air ofheauty and comfort seldom to be met with.
Madison is th^ Seat of two Female Colleges
(Baptist and Methodist) now in a most flourish
ing condition, each, as we were informed, har
ing in attendance about 150 pupils. The College
buildings are constructed in the neatest and
most chaste style of architecture, commodious
and Large. Supplied with good Faculties, and
famished with all the apparatus requisite to the
illustration of the carious branches of Natural
Selenee, these Institutions deserve, probably,
as extensive » patronage as any similar ones
in the State. We eaanot forbear in our hasty
allusion to thia beautifa! town, fending to the
gentlemanly Editor of the Titttor, Mr- Bcllt-

hospitality. Like all men determined to thrive

Granting that Sevastopol should perehanee

ble scope of country. It is dotted with popu
lous villages, towns and eitios from which the
Czar could .summon bis soldiery in perfect

But tbe laurels he would grasp were too high for
bis ambition, and he had to return without them.
Thus, the two extremities of tho Russian Empire

Hr. Stephens as an Orator. _
Messrs Editors:—The late masterly replies
of Mr. Stephens, to.the speeches of Mace and
Campbell, wife add greatly to bis reputation as
a Parliamentary debater. Such an overwhel
ming and complete victory is rarely, if ever,
gained in snch discussions. Such address, such
preparation on eveiy point,. and snch rare self-
possession are never attained by ordinary spea
kers. His perfect couscionsness of the truth
of his statistics is proudly asserted when inter
rupted by the Ohio member—“no sir lam nev
er wrong upon a .matter I have given at elote alj
tendon to at I have to this!’—and shows plainly
the character of the man. When he rises to
speak he feels that he has mastered his subject,
and presses boldly on to his conclusions, with
out hesitancy, or timid ty* He knows his
strength and never shrinks from a conflict with
an adversary worthy of him. We venture the
assertion that members of tbe Honse, from this
time on, will be cautious and circumspect when
they attack him.
Mr. Stephens is fist reaching the highest
place as a debater. The mere report that be
to speak flits the Honse and crowd- the gal
leries. He can do but wbst few others can—
command the attention of -a disorderly body of
Representatives. What then is the secret of
tbfapower? certainly undaunted genius. What
he has to say comes from a soul full of fire,
and from a mind clear logical and vehement.
He speaks in plain, strong, simple language that
eonveys forcibly to hfe bearers the troth of his
propositions,
He is unquestionably an orator. He has
none of the graces, none of the foppery' which
characterizes most of onr finished speakers.
His oratory springs ont from strong and natu
ral feelings and comes home to the hearts and
understandings of men. It has nothing sooth-
Ing or soporific bat on tbe contrary something
that moves and stirs to tbe very bottom/ tho
genoine passions of onr nature. Like all great
speakers he possesses an earnestness and a di
rectness in debate that always secure tbe most
impressive silence. When hfe sucject requires
it, he can reach the highest pitch of eloqueoce.
We have seen him at such momenta, his wan
fsqgpres and brilliant eye globing with true in
spiration, as ho was giving utterance to his im
passioned argument.
He is said, to resomhle, in person and mind
the" celebrated Randolph , of Roanoke. This
may bo trtfe in part He certainly shares some
thing of the imprompto readiness of that cel
ebrated spoaker and of hfe pungent and sca
thing sarcasm. But bo argues with more reg
ularity and does not astonish us so often as the
former with the pithy and sparkling apothegms
that characterize all of his public efforts. Mr.
Stephens confines himself to his subject-’ Mr.
Randolphpftcn left it, to discuss collateral ques
tions, or pursue some fine conception that oc»
The Know-Nothings made a great time in
Rochester on account of the election of Wm. H.
Goodwin to take the place vacated by Gov.

the majority for Goodwin now is 2.000, and up
on theso premises a gain of 3,823 is claimed,-
It was thought worth while to fire a hundred

Mors Paupkbs.—Information was eonveyed
to the New York commissioners of emigration,

taken to keep them from scattering, until snch

them back where they came from.

Marriage axd Celibacy.—Marriage has in
it less of beauty but more of safety than the
tingle life; it hath not more ease but less dan
ger; it is more merry and more sad; it is faUer
of sorrows and fuller of joys; it lies under
more burdens, but is supported by all the
strengths of love and charity, and those har
dens are delightful. Marriage is the mother
of the world, and preserves kingdoms, and fills
cities and churches, and heaven itself. Celiba
cy, like the fly in the heart of an apple, dwells
in perpetual sweetness, hut sits alone, and is
confined and dierin singularity; but marriage,
like the useful bee, builds a house, and gathers
sweetness from every flower, and labors and
unites into societies and,republics, and sends
out colonies, and feeds the world with delica
cies, and obeys their king, and keeps older,
and exercises many virtnes, and promotes the
interest of mankind, and is that state of good
to which God hath, designed the present cons
stitution of the world.—Jeremy Taylor.
Florida Ixdlaxs.—The Tampa Herald learns
from Capt. Casey, fete from Fort Myers, that the

siderable number of, the party, 'arerse to this

whet the concentration of troops at that point
meant . v <
This party, in the most adroit maun or, man
aged to prevent an interview or talk by Capt
Casey with that portion of the tribe which had,
on previous occasions, ovineed a disposition to
emigrate. A portion qf the troops stationed at
Fort Myers are now penetrating the interior of
that country, cutting roads add making other
demonstrations, that the war spirit is up, and
that the kind overtures of our Government are
no longer to be treated with contempt—Savan

In the fete annual tneessage of Governor
Bigler of California, to the Legislature of that
State, he calls their attention to a large portion
of land,acquired by the State-under tbe act of
1850, which is covered by a heavy growth of
tule, indigenous to the soil, from which paper
of good, if not superior quality, can be manu
factured. The plant iB coated with heavy,
strong fibre, and internally filled with cellular
tissue. The stalk, when ripe, and before it is
colored by rain, is nearly white. Several par
cels have been sent to the ^Atlantic States for
the purpose of testing,, by actual experience,
its adaptation to the manufacture of paper.
Candidate for Governor
The Wilkes ftspublican in speculating about
the Gubernatorial election in the State, sug
gests the name of the Hon.Garnett Axnnisws,
of Washington, as a,suitable candidate fair tbe
office of Governor of the State, claming that ho
is no partisan, and that “the great trust cold
not be confided to better and safer hands.” We
take great pleasure in indorsing everything
our oontetDporary has rait} of Judge Andrews
and if he is a candidate for Governor under
proper auspices, wo shall most oheerfally sup
port him. Without designing to disparage him,
or any. other Individual who baa beea mention-
ed in connection with theGubernatorial nomi
nation or tho onpoaiton to the Administation,
or to fereteii pubic opinion in this matter, we

purest and ablest public men, and that dufented

ers, who aro otherwiso ns worthy of promotion.
This is simply tho expression of our individual
preference, by which we do not expect or de
sign to influenoo tho opinions of any one. In
deed, though we, and many other'of bia devo

Mr. Jenkins will probably peremptorily refuse
to bo dragged again into a contest for the Gu

tenger, for the purpose of endorsing most cor
dially the sontiments, so well and happily ex
pressed by that journal.—While we cheerfully
accord to Judgo Andrews whatever of worth
and merit, mb a private citizen and public officer,
hfe warmest admirers oteirn for him, and will
zealously support him if nominated, yet we de
sire to see Mr. Jhnkins again before tbe peo
ple for tbe distinguished office, above all other
men In tbe State. We know Dot what Mr. J’s
views are in reference to a nomination, wheth
er he would accept or not; but we think we know
him sufficiently well to say, that he would not,
under tbe cireumstanees, decline a nomination.
It is known to every intelligent man in the
State, that he was defeated in the last canvass
by tbe grossest misrepresentation of his prin
ciples and acts; and wo feel confident he would
deem it a duty, not less due to himself and his
repqtation, than to. those friends who so zeal
ously supported him, to accept a nomination,
that he might vindicate them and himself. And
we may here express the opinion, that, unless
he positively declines, his friends, throughout
the State owe it to themselves not less than to
him, to place him again before tbo people.
These are our individual sontiments, in the
expression of which we desire not to forestall
public opinion, or to prejudice the elaiins of any
gentleman whose nomination may be desired by
bis friends. All wc desire is, that the opponents
of the present administration in Georgin, may
unite in convention, and after due deliberation
and roflectiou. make a nomination of a proper
standard bearer—one who can unite npon him
self all the opposition to tho present incumbent
and -his followers and advocates. If this be
done, we hazzard the opinion, thus early, that a
most triumphant victory awaits the nominee.
We invoke our friends, therefore, to discuss
calmly and dispassionately the merits aind
claims of her prominent men, and in that spirit
of trna patriotism which unites in a common
cause the conservative patriots of the State
against misrule aid radicalism, confer the nom
ination up in whoever has tbe highest claim to
tbe distinguished position.—Chouicle db Senti

The Epidemic,Yellow Fever or 1853.—
City Council of New Orleans, in consequence
of the virulence of the yellew fover in that city
in 1853, submitted to the Board of Health ia
inquiry into the causes of that disease, its ori
gin, mode of transmission, and the Customs and
conditions of tho city which affected or influen
ced it. A special committee, to whom the sub
ject was entrusted, has reported upon it, and tbe
result of that report we find in tho National In
telligencer. ^ They are: that tbe presence ef two
general hygienic conditions are abtol'utely in-
ditpentable to the origination and transmission,
of the disease, the one of them atmospheric,
the other terrene. These mast meet in combina
tion, or the disease is not generated. The ab
sence of one, so far as the yellow fever is con
cerned, is equivalent to the absence of both;
and. as one of these conditions is almost wholly
within the control of man, and the other par-
tialiyso. it must follow that his power extends
to ita*prevention and expulsion. The corollary
from this is, that the disease is of local origin ;
that It is under no circumstances personally
eo- tagious; and that its infectious properties
are only communicable in a foul or infections
atmosphere. 'It is not by this’ intended to be
denied that the disease is often imported; that
is, persons infected with it may arrive from a-
broad, or vitiated and infections air may he
brought in goods and variour ways; hut neith
er, the one northq other can propagate the dis
ease, except under the combination of tho con
ditions mentioned.

Mr. Mason not going to Resign.—A Wash
ington letter says: “ The convalescence of our
Minister at Paris. Mr. J. Y. Mason, is estab

was not affected by the temporary paralysis of

Re-Election of Senator Seward.
New York, Feb. 6.
Dispatches from Albany state that the Legis
lature of New York has re-elected Wm. H. Sew
ard, U. S. Senator, by 22 majority, on joint bal
lot.
Tho weather at present is the coolest thBt
has been experienced for the past twenty years.
Tho thermometer in various parts of tho State
of New York, arranging from Zero to 40 degrees

Canal Across the Isthmus op Suez.—A
Frenchman, M. Lcsseps, is forming a company
for cutting a ship canal from tho,Mediterranean
to-the Red Sea. He has procured from the
Viceroy of Egypt the necessary firman, that
government nominating the directors and re
ceiving fifteen per cent of the annual nett profits
for ninety-nine years, after which the canal is
to pass wholly into their hands. If the compa
ny think it advisable to connect the Nile with
tbe canal, the Egyptian government binds itself
to give the necessary land. Tho cairjd is. to
open to vessels of all n: lions. It will create a
new channel of ship communication between
Europe and India, now effected only by double
the Cape.
The descendants of the architects of tho py
ramids are evidently waking up, and throwing
off their mummy xriappers,"promise great things
to the world. A canal from Alexandria to the
Nile ; a railway from Cairo to Snoz; and now
ship communication between the Mcditerra-
nian and the Red Seas, and evidence of progress.
We must hereafter give up the favorite simile
drawn from “the darkness of Egypt.”
Massachusetts Senator.—The Boston Bee
said to bo the organ of the Know Nothing or
American party in Boston, thus speaks of the
newly* elected* Senator Wilson, whose 'twite
principles have aeqaired such notoriety in con
sequence of his recent prominence. We
bopo the Bee is not mistaken :
“General Wilson will take his seat in the
United titates Senate as the representative, not
only of the Commonwealth, but in a certain
sense, of the American party of Massachusetts.
That party is thoroughly national and conser
vative Jn its character. It is so in the best
meaning of the words, and it would not tolerate
in its ranks any man who should bo hostile to
the Union, or who should countenance any in
terference with the institutions of other States.
In these views we know that General Wilson
shares. He holds them in tbe utmost good
faith, as bis course in the Senate will make
manifest to all who may feel interested to
watch his action. We would,be willing to stake
all that we hold dear on the correctness of this
assertion.
We do not say that he it not astrongnnd stead
fast enemy of slavery, but it does not follow that
he would do anything which could gratify the
few deluded and influential mortals who sny
that they are the enemies of the Union, without
knowing the meaning of tbe words which they
use. And we are sure that a man friendly to
slavery never would havo boon elected to tbe
Senate by any Legislature choosen by the peos
pie of Massachusetts.
The Subterranean Telegraph to the Pa
cific.-—The House of Congress has passed the
bill authorizing an underground telegraph to
be laid to the Pacific, having first stricken out
the provision which gave tbe Contractors two
millions of acres of land to build'it. Tbe bill
only gives tbe right of way over the public
fends of the United States over the line for
K otection. Whether the bill will be acceptable
this form or not, is not stated. If it is, two
years is the time allowed to complete It and put
it in operation. Col. Benton says tbe Digger
Indians will pull up the wires to make hooks to
catch lizzards. This is no doubt a risk to which
tho lino is liable, but tho projectors say they
ore ready to meet this difficulty and settle it.
If, says the Philadelphia Ledger, they can go
ahead end build tbe line with no other assist
ance from the Government than tbe bill gives
them, they ought *0 be rewarded for their per-
aoverance* It will bo a great undertaking and
ft very important one. Just imagine a daily
communication between the Atlantic cities and
San Francisco, with two thousand miles of
wilderness between them.—Jforafay Neics.
Povorty, is except where there is an actual
want, of food and raiment, a thing much more

Distressing Condition of tbe British Army.
[From the London Weekly News, Janncry 20.]
Those who are waiting to learn by eveiy mail
that Sevastopol is fallen will find the prospect
of the speedy arrival of that gratifying intelli
gence diminished bv the statement, forwarded
by the correspondent of the Morning Post, of
tbe reduced numbers of our effective array in
the Crimea. Out of the forty thousand nine
hnnred and thirty-two men forming the gross
of Lord Raglan’s army oa ths first.Gay of this
year, every third man was in hospital! The to
tal of the sick and wounded was thirteen thous
and four hundred and nineteen, leaving only
twenty seven thousand five hundred and thir
teen men in tbe field, of whom, on an average,
one hundreds day fell out of the ranks ill, and
fifty died.
Supposing the sickness and mortality to hare
continned at this rate antil now, the numbers in
the field will have been reduced by this day to
a little over twenty-thousand men, leaving bne-
fourth of the whole in their beds, and one-eighth
in their graves. Then, of the twenty-fire thous
and who remain, a large proportion are on the
very verge of breakingdown. Many are on their
last legs,and holding ont against nature—not ill
enough to lie admitted into hospital, not well
enough to be worth much on duty. The terri
ble ravages of disease cannot be more clearly
comprehended than in the words of the corres
pondent. “The British lose upwards of three
bimdred by death every week, so that they
had need receive an extra regiment every fort
night.”
And yet we hope the worst is over. The road
—that via dolorosd—from Balaklavar was the
great obstacle. Eveiy necessity the army can
possibly require is heaped up in the harbor in
almost inextricable confusion, but the means of
transit are wanting. Eight miles of road, as
impassible as the Red Sea, lay between onr suf
fering soldiers and their abundant relief. Bnt
tho navies were there on tbe first of the month.
That is the one bright spot in the picture.
Strong men, with sturdy limbs, unbroken spir
its and good British hearts whowill work with
untiring enthusiasm at a task on whose comple
tion the very lives of the men—whose brave
ry they bore have read of and admire—de
pend.
It is no exaggeration to say, humanely speak
ing, the fate of the war seems to turn upon the
success of Mr. Peto and his men. Never was
the office of navy so magnified. Never had any
body of men so good an opportunity of doing
their country servio'-. Onco get the line or
rails, or any sufficient roadway, and the rest
will follow in a trice. The huts once np, tbe
men regaled with plenty for a few days, and
blessed with a few hours rest—and then the
great blow may be struck, and Sevastopol be
ours.
Woman’s Rights in New Hampshire.—A
Miss Caroline S. Freeman, of Manchester, New
Hampshire, avows that aha has certain inalien
able rights, notwithstanding she was not born
“a boy baby,” and among others tbe right to
seek as well as accept a husband. She conclu
des her dels ration of independence as follows:
“Agains those exclusive privileges on the
part of tbe other sex, I. with thousands of others
of my own sex in this city, earnestly protest—
A am authorised in tbeir name, and in their be
half, to declare that, on and after the 4th *of
July, A. D. 1855, we proclaim and publish to
the”world our indepence from nil such cruel and
unchristian restriction. And this is to give
timely notice to all single gentlemen (widowers
excluded) of industrious and temperate habits
in this city, tbnt they must improve the few re
maining months to the best advantage; for,
after the incoming of this immortal Fourth, we,
the teorking sisterhood of Manchester, will show
what a woman can do in this great heretofore
restricted ‘commerce of love,' by gallanting
around modest yonth, making declarations and
popping questions.” v

Danville (Ky.) Tribune the following strange
bit of an incident:—
“I will give you a singular circumstance well
known to be a fact, as it occurred in this neign«
borbood. A widow lady took an orphan boy
to raiao, quite small, and when he arrived at the
age of 18 years she married him, she then be
ing in her 60th year. They lived many years
together os happy as any couple. Ten year*

girl theyhad raised, he being 68 years old, and

The stipulated period having expired soon af

a respectful letter to the agent, informing him
of the termination of the contract, and request

wrote him tho second time, still tbe scoundrel

A Double Execution pi Kentucky*.—The
Cincinnati Commercial baa a long account of
tbe execution of Stepbeb Short and William
Hanning, for murder, at Greenupsbnrg, Ky.,
last Friday, They were both, according to the
Commercial, worthless drunken fellows, and
each had a large family. The same paper gives
the following speeches and incidents at the gal
lows: -
Short rose and said—“I want all. of you to
take warning .by me. See what whiskey and
bad women have brought me to. I bare beer, to
a good many hanging' scrapes myself, and
thought it was great fun, bnt I never thought
I'd be hung myself- This .is the work of Cap
tain Whiskey. I am willing to die for the life
of the man that I took. Talk-of pleasure—I
have tried all kind/of It—about shanties drunk
and everywhere else—but I hare had more real
pleasure up in that old jail, than ever before in
all my life; and chains on my legs, big heavy
chains at that. I just took off this old coat,
and whipped Satan clean out, fair. I’ve made
my election sure, I think. Yes, sir, I think my
election is sure. [Some one in. the Cfowd cal
led oat, “If you are safe, I don't think there is
much danger for the rest of us!”] I am per
fectly willing to die. The man you have got in
for aiding me is perfectly innocent, and onght
to be let go; bnt 'bat Blair deserves all that I’ve
got. [Blair was the man who told him to shoot.]
He was as mnoh to blame tu I was.”
Some one inquires: “Are you willing to die,
Store ?” Said be: Yes I I bate this world and
my own life;' and he continned with an air that
was nearly exulting, “and I’m going to leave
it; I'll be in Paradise before sundown. Now
farewell! farewell! meet me in the other world.
I want to see you all in Heaven.” An old man,
somewhat drunk, pressed upon him. Short
said: “Whiskey brought me to this; I expect
you along in a few days!”
Hanning, then quaking in every limb, got up
and said: “I haven't got anything against any
man in tbe world, and I hope nobody’s got any
thing against me now.”
Short repeated this remark. Large numbers
of his acquaintances crowded about, shaking
hands; with him and asking questions, until the
last moment. He knew all his old friends, and
exchanged smiles and words of good will with
them until the white cap was drawn over his
face. Ho stood np firmly as the wagon was
driven away, and said, at that instant, very
distinctly: “farewell! all my friends!” when
the fatal noose cheeked his utterance.
Know Nothing Items.—The State Council
of Know-Nothings, whieb was in session last
week at Odd Fellows’ Hall,-adjourned at 4
o’clock on Saturday morning. There were
aboat fifteen hundred delegates present. Con
siderable business was transacted :
1st. The test resolution on a previous State
Council re-affirmed almost unanimously. This
resolution is to compel members to vote for the
candidates ofthe order for any political office.
t 2d. 1 The Simon Pure Know Nothings repre
sented in this couneil were purged of all Seward
or bogus members—leaving only two branchee
in tbe State—the Barker or Simoir Pares/ with
over a thousand large lodges or councils—and
the Allen or Sewardites with between two' and
three hnndred email lodges or councils.
It appears that when Allen wa$'sent to. the
National Council at Cincinnati as a delegate,
there was a difference of opinion in regard to
bis section of the-order. The matter was refer
red back to the State Council for investigation.
The result has been that, the Barkerites and
Allenites separated, and the latter joined the
Seward or Utica faction, in-the hopes of gaining-
the ascendency if Seward- is .re-elected to the
Senate. ,
The Barkerites now number 133,000 members
in the State.
Sd. A delegate from a legislative Council
was present who represented seventy-eight
members of the Senate and Assembly. This
number is within two of one half of all the mem
bers of both houses of the Legislators. It was
ascertained that six other members were with
the seventy-eight in opposition to Seward’s re-
election.
4th. The new ritual of the National Council
repudiating all isms, was unanimously adopted—
placing the order on purely national grounds.
5th. Several applications were received from
lodges belonging to the Utica order, for admis
sion.

The Radway (N. J.) Advocate, tells .the fol

Mr. -—is one ofthe “Merchant princes” of
tho Empire City, and though living in one of
the most spacious mansions on the Fifth Aven
ue, bis entire family consists of himself and wife.
Meeting a friend from the country one day, he
invited him up to view bis house. The friend
was shown the gorgeous rooms, with tessellated
floors and magnificent frescoed ceilings, and fi
nally was taken into the lower rooms, in one of
whioh he found a small regiment of colored ser
vants seated at a bountiful dinner. Qn his ro-
turn home he was asked if he had seen Mr. 80-
and-So? “Oh yes!” “what is be doing now?”
“Weft, when I saw him. he was keeping a nig
ger boarding .house on the Fifth Avenue.
Blessings whioh wo bavo slighted when in onr
session, ara more highly prized when there is
roger of our bqing deprived of them; and our

Intergrity, is the first moral virtue, benevol
ence the second, and prudence is tho third;
without’ the first, the two latter cannot exist,
and without the third, the two former would bo

den death, that we may so live with our friends,

Heal theSick. Men of liberal education afe
the present day, devote all their talens to dis
cover the means whereby they may remove

diseases to. which man is liable, and which may
cause him to drag out a protracted life of dis
tress, or suddenly cut him off in the bloom of
his existence and usefulness. We should grate
fully seize upon every moans of counteracting

The War.
The women of England protest against the
war. They say that every bullet-in, eo dread
fully un-mans them.
The Russians have it under-mind to blow up
tbe camp of the Allies.
The feat attack whieh the Russians contem
plated appeared so excessively repulsive, that
many closed their eyes—forever.
It is a mathematical axiom that parallelled
lines never meet. The parallels, of the allies,
however, are so unparallclled, that they are
constantly nearing—the beseiged.
The notes sounded by the Allies Bugles were
protested by Nicholas but subsequently cheek
ed. , ?
Nicholas is grateful to tbe_ allies for shelling
the streets of Sevastopol without any charge.
“The cake made with the four ofthe French
chivalry, is all dough,” supposed to be in con
sequence of stopping the fire at tbe “ovens.”
The east powder being stronger than was an
ticipated, it is feared it will raise tbe siege.
The French soldiers have turned wash-wo
men—for they formed in closeline and went to
work mangling.
The last time the lancaster gnn spoke its mes
senger was off, by the air-line express, before
they could take down the report. We expect
to have it, however, by tbe next steamer.
Napoleon 3d calls himself the “nephew" of
bis “uncle”—that is nothing. There is a Gen
eral in the French army, who is said to be the
eon of hisfather.
It is said the French minister wants to parley
Tonse? with Austria, bat Austria rows she won’t
parley.
The English say the French soldiers are so
lazy. that nothing bnt’in-action contenIs 1 them.
The French say the English are so cool that
they here to pitch their tents, to make them
inflammable, and then pitch into the Russians
to make their blood circulate.
Ilia currently reported that Nicholas has sent
an especial envoy to Washiagfen. to induce
Secretary Marey to go to Sevastopol- and mend
his breeches, but Marey not liking,the extrava
gant charges of the allies makes it a condition
