It appears from both the Russian and French reports that on the night of the 21st of Feb ruary the Russians succeeded in throwing up with great rapidity a new redoubt on the right bank of the careening harlior. [From the X. Y. Day Book.] Sketches of the Sew York Press. [Continued.) Another member of the New York Press, almost os conspicuous as the editor of the Herald, is Mr. Greeley, the “responsible” editor of the Tribune. As the organ of the powerful political faction, seeking delibe rately to revolutionize the theory and prac tice of our government, the Tribune is well worthy of consideration. Mr. Greeley has, throughout life, had the benefit of a lucky misurderstanding of his real character.

We are much of the opinion of a gentleman once honorably connected with the Columbus press, when he said, by way of giving us a warning against embarking in the risky fortunes of tho “ press gang,” that it was very doubtful if all things considered one single newspaper in the State was doing well. It is all attributable to an unprofes sional “ cutting under ” in prices of sub scription and advertising, and to the credit system. That these evils should have existed tor the shortest space of time is very singular in this sharp-witted age of progress, when we remember how easily combination among the fraternity, could have been effected, and how absolute a necessity of life, a newsprint has become to every household, that ever once enjoyed the visits of this best of family friends. We do not think that any mate rial reduction in the aggregated circulation of our State press would ensue upon the es tablishment among us of the most inexora ble cash system. Indeed, it is highly probable that if all the work we executed, and all the papers sent out were paid for, the price of all our newspapers, with only here and there an exception, would be so reduced from present charges that more papers could be sold un der the cash system than are now sold. Is it true, that a single wealthy newspaper in middle Georgia has baulked all previous ef forts made by the craft to effect this much- needed reform ? We veuture to say that if tho two power ful presses of Augusta, backed by the pro fession in Savannah and Columbus, were to sc will it, in less than twelve months we would sec the time when no man in our midst would be enjoying the hard labor of Georgia Editors without paying a valuable consideration for it. What say you gentle men to a Printer’s League that shall begin to agitate for Printers’ rights and for “ giv ing the Devil his due it is right he should have it. Ail moralists agree in this and we know it squares with the ethics of every economist who “looketb not with favor up on the face of the Sheriff.” The Times has begun the excitement, aud as we hold it responsible for the effect of this thing upon tho interests of the community, so we shall willingly accord to our cotem porary all the honors of success, should the words it hath spoken bring forth fruit.

Bountv Land Applicantb.—Important Decision.—The Commissioner of Pensions has made an important decision, in which he draws a distinction between distant and actual service in time of war. The decision is to the effect that a person who was in the military or naval services of the United States during any of the wars in which this country has been engaged since 1790, is not entitled to bounty land under the act of March 3, 1855, if he was not at the Mat of war. „ •<•* Senor Pinto, lately “garrotod” at flinliiMil^g^ f0rtuae The arrival of the steamer United States, from New Orleans, caused great alarm, it having been previously reported that she hod landed men and munitions of war at another part of the island.

A trifling inequality of surface, or what I should do. I could not resolve. I then went to my camp about eight miles off. The folks wanted to know what was the matter. I said I had wounded a buck and got lost in chasing him. The next morning 1 found that my horse had been stolen. I bought some provisions, another revolver, and a pick and shovel and pan, and went back. About 50 yards from the rock was a trail upon which miners passed every day, and I was afraid to work in the day. At night I went to work to cut off a corner of the rock, but i soon broke tho pick so that it Was useless. 1 could find no chisel or hammer. People got suspicious of me. Several the suggestions of our neighbor. The fel low should be turned out and sent away from the city. It is reasonable, also, that the law should be so modified that free ne groes coming into the city should be official ly notified of the existence of the law a few days before being subject to arrest: “We understand that a free negro man who was ignorant that he would be required to pay a tax of $200 if he settled in this difference of density, is sufficient to cause great divergence. An instance is known where a bullet entered the side of the head passed around beneath the scalp and fell out upon the opposite side, as though it had passed directly through the brain.

[FVowi the Piedmont Whig.] We learn from a letter in the Southern Planter written by Richard Irby, Esq., of Nottoway, that his land is so infested by beavers, that he is unable to keep it dry.— They have made as many as twenty dams, on hia property, which they build.up again as fast as he polls them down. They have even built a dam acrose the Nottoway river, which no freshet will remove, though they had to transport the trees a mile or more.— It apperas that they are also very trouble some in Sussex and Southampton. This is extraordinary news to us, ana if it were not gravely stated, and gravely endorsed by . Mr. Baffin, we should be inclinedto look upon it with some suspicion. This number of the Planter was issued about the first of April. “ Mercury,” the well posted up Washing ton correspondent of tne Baltimore Sun, S 'ves the following “first rate notice” of e monster trip-hammer at our navy yard: “ Quite a large force is employed under Mr. Padgett in fixing the mas»ve machine ry, which is connected with the tremendous trip-hammer in the foundation.

T. ) Man* 19th, 1855. f Editor of the Some Southerner: Dear Sir : Supposing that yourself as well as your readers would be pleased to hear front this far famed country, I will give you a brief account of the Territory and of things pertaining )thereto. - On the morning of the first November I, in company with his Honor, Judge Harden and Col. M. W. Riden, left my native and dearly beloved State of Georgia. After we had passed a month on our tedious but pleasant journey, we crossed the Missouri River and set our feet on the shores of Ne braska. The morniug was calm and serene. Nature was robed in her most beautious garb. Tbe sun had just arisen and was shedding his light over tbe wide and extend ed prairie. He silently sent a ray among the gras* causing the scattering particles of frost to glitter like so many gems. After proceeding, on foot for a few miles, we brought up before the door of an humble Cot, known as the “Nebraska House,” in Bellview. The outward appearance of things was a little disheartening, but we found comfortable accommodations within. Since I have been here I have traveled over a portion of the Territory, and have found it to exceed my most sanguine expec tations with but one exception,—that is the scarcity of timber. This will doubtless prove a barrier to its immediate settlement. The soil is of a mellow loam, varying from 4 to 8 feet in depth and of remarkable rich ness and productiveness. Corn, Wheat, Buckwheat, Potatoes, to gether with all kinds of vegetables are pro duced here to the greatest perfection. I learn that some of our friends in Geor gia consider it an impossibility to raise from 75 to 100 bushels of corn per acre on any land. Were it necessary I could bring forth the testimony of hundreds to substan tiate tbe assertion. Wheat is produced here from 30 to 60 bushels to the acre. In short, the soil is not to be surpassed in any por tion of the world. I can say that we have no large bodies of good land here for it i* one vast body of the richest soil. The country is settling up very rapidly. All that portion of it bordering on the Mis souri river has been taken up for a number of miles back; and on nearly every stream there are settlements. There are a great many Indians here. A few days since I attended one of their dan ces. It was quite romantic to see them painted in the most hidious manner, dan cing and singing and seeming to be as hap py as the most refined societies that grace the grandest banquet halls. The Territorial Legislature has just ad journed, having passed some very important laws, among which are the Maine Liquor Law; a law Allowing each settler to hold •j326 aa-es of land; one locating the Capitol at Omaha City; and also, one to restrain Swine and Sheep from funning at large; and others of less importance. Instead of finding a rough and ignorant population as is generally represented to be in a new country, we find them industri ous and intelligent. People are here from all parts of the Union, and I might say, from nearly all parts of the world. There has been a number of Salt'Springs discovered in different portions of the Ter ritory, one of which I have visited; and it is said by tho Indians that Copper mines ex ist. This will doubtless be one of the greatest stock raising countries in the United States. ’ All that is necessary to carry on the cattle raising business is, to prepare barns and such houses as are requisite for keeping hay, and particularly, cattle from the storms of winter. The prairie is one vast medow, and a person can save just as much hay as he will cut, and that of Me best quality. It in quite amusing for a “looker on in Venice” to observe the rivalry existing be tween villages, arrogantly styling them selves cities—the proprietors of each clai ming for )their point all the advantages of Steamboatlandings, Railroad termini, Coun ty oites, &c. One may lay out a town, and the person holding the quater section adjoi ning, will immediately lay out another giv ing it a different name, and “stealing the others thunder.” Nebraska city is a place of importance, considering its age. and bids fair to become the Emporium of Nebraska. In fact, all that portion between the Kansas line and the Platte river is much the best part of the Territory. As I have now about exhausted my stock I wili leave off for more anon. Yours, respectfully, J. D. WHITE. cinnati seem to have been brought to a close. The papers from that city, as late as Satur day, announce a perfect restoration of peace and order.

The Know-Nothings, it is said, have a majority of the Council and will contest the election of the Mayor and other officers. The Ga zette, (Know-Nothing) expresses the opinion that the democratic canaidates were enti tled to their certificates of election, and adds that under the cireumstances, they are glad they have obtained them. Thirty years ago, two boys in New Hampshire quarrelled about a box of black ing. To get rid of one of them, he was sent to New York, and is now one of our first shipping merchants, a director in a bank ana owner of a line of steamers. A dispute about a tin dipper, with the stew ard of a steamboat, resulted in a law suit that cost a $1,000, and laid the foundation of a fortune of one of onr millionaries, who now owns more tin dippers and steamboats than any other one man in the-world; once a deck hand of a boat, now the captain of the “upper ten.” An accident made him, •n Mount may unmake him. until it assumed the form of a minute cat erpillar. And thus its specific gravity being counteracted or lightened, it readily floated to the surface, and the slightest breath of air wafted it against the side of the bowl. In a very brief space of time afterwards, the warm atmosphere hatched out the fly, and it escaped, leaving its tiny hause upon the water. How beautiful, yet how simple! After the water had gone through this process, I found it perfectly free from ani- malculae. I therefore came to the conclu sion tha! is ‘-y. iggle-tail” is a species of the sha . who, having devoured whole tribes of nameless animalculse, takes to himself wings )and ‘escapes into a differ ent medium, to torture mankind, and de posit eggs upon the waters to produce other “wiggle-tails,” who in turn produce other mosquitoes.

Building and Loan Associations.—The Muscogee Loan Association held its eight monthly meeting on Saturday evening last, and (including previous loans there were re-sold,) the sum of $4,882 was put up, $2- 000 were bid for at 50 per ot premium, $3’000 at 51; $1000 each at 51}, 51}, 51}, 51, and 52} per ct.—the original Bum thus drawing the interest upon $10 000.

A New Steam Break—Has also been in vented. On the 7th March last it was ap plied to a train of five cars—one baggage, one second class, and three passenger cars, drawn by a locomotive weighing twenty- eight tons, with six feet two inch drivers— the entire weight of the train being one hundred and four tons. The result was as follows: “ On the first trial, with the train moving at the velocity of thirty miles per hour, the train was brought to a perfect stop in seven hundred feet, taking twenty seconds of time. On the second trial, with train moving forty miles per hour, it was brought to a stand-still in nine hundred and forty-five feet, and twenty six-seconds of time. On the third trial tho train was back ed down two miles and coming up, ran the last mile in one minute and twentyrfive sec onds. It was brought to a full stop in one thousand and six feet, taking twenty-eight seconds of time, the train not running over three mile3 per hour for the last three hun dred feet.’) Power of Cocoa. Professor Johnston, in his “Chemistry of Common Life,” states, that by the use of co coa leaf, the Peruvian Indians undergo the most incredible labor. He says; “with a feeble ration of dried maize or barley crush ed into flour, the Indian, if duly supplied with cocoa, toils under heavy burdens, day after day, up the steep slopes of the moun tain passes, or digs, for years, in the sub terranean mines, insensible to weariness, to cold, and to hunger. He believes, indeed, that it may be made a substitute for food altogether.’, Arkansas.—Corn Meal is selling at the enormous price of $1.75 per bushel, and scarcely tobe had at that price.
