A Scotch paper, the John 0' (front Jon

offended at the Times. She has reason to bi
lievc its statements regarding her troops i
the Crimea are exaggerated, and, even if no

partukiug iu about equal parts of a Momu

A letter that appeard in the London
Times, over the signature of Dr. Granville, a
physician of some eminence, has attracted noot
ticc. Dr. Granville had once been Lord Paln*
inerston's medical attendant, and in 1840 resided
in a professional capacity at St. Petersburg,
where he had medical introductions tc
the Imperial Court. In the month of July
1853, he addressed a confidential letter t(
Lord Palmerston, and which he (Granville]
a now reproduces in the Times. In that lettei
he stated that, having formed a careful prog
rn nosis of the state of health of the Emperoi
Nicholas, he had come to the conclusion thai
in he would die suddenly in the 59th year of hi?
sc age. At an interview with Lord Palmerston
in* February 23, 1854, Palmerston asked Dr. G
i if he still adhered to his opinion and predie
'w tion ? Granville replied that''before July
;e> 18.)5, when the Emperor would be i>0 year:
of age, the event anticipated would happen.?
Let. but a few reverses overtake him, and hi:
tc" death, like that of all his brothers, will be sud
pe" den." It has proved so. "Alma, Jnkertnan
?s" Halaklava," says the Doctor, "shook the niigh
ty brain. Eupatoria completed the shock, am
t0> : anticipated the prognosis by only a few weeks
!e'! It might be curious to speculate as to how fai
(^* ! the shrewd Palmerston kept this prophesy ii
'k* ' mind in accepting the office of Premier, anc

I Six hours after the 'late of the above : that is tn
j say, shortly after noon of Friday, March 'J. he expired.
Tin; Emperor's last words were spoken in
ur i ,
the French language. Addressing the Empress, lie
i said. "Tell Frederic i the King ?.?r j'russia) to cntiti|
uc attached to Russia, as he has hitherto been. ami
i never to forget his father's words." This message,
I ; received by telegraph at Devlin, was instantly repli1
i ed to, it is added, by assurance in the same sense."
' ,l i A few days before his death, it is said, the f'iai
' succeeded in effecting a complete reconciliation be'lu
i twecn his two sons. Alexander and Constantino, and
u" i on his death-bed indicated his will that the -uccesI
sion should fall upon the former. A few hours aftei
cr the death of his father, Alexander proclaimed hi?
rt> assumption of the throne under the title of Alexau'1?
j derll Nicholaievitseh. and received the homage ol
j his brother and the dignitaries of the realm. Astc
j the policy to be adopted by the new Kmperor. the
re ; statements are contradictory. He is said to Itavi
ct indicated Ins determination to carry out strictly the
, will of his father : and the strength and latent oppo;
sition of the war party, which will demand this
of j course as the condition to their allegiance, certainly
,r- , makes this thc. surest and most direct method of
[iO ; conciliating the affection of his subjects and securing
to his position in power. On the other hand, Alexanif.
der is regarded as possessing a mild and pacific dist-_
j position, and one more favorable to the cultivation of
r_ the arts of peace. From this the French and Kng,
lisli journals conclude that the prospects for an early
i peace are flattering. It is evident, however, that
k. Alkxandki: is taking vigorous measures for tliepro|.
sccution of hostilities. I'l inco Monsehikoff has been
s recalled from the seat of war, and (lortschakoff ap,,
pointed to the command ??f the army in the Crimea.
: The Manifesto of the New Emperor lias been published,
ami is regarded as warlike in tone. The folr
flowing is a copy :?
rt
' Valiant warriors! Faithful defenucrs oi < hurch,
1 Throne, ami Country! It has pleased Xlmighty God
1"- t<? visit us with the most painful ami grievous loss.
}> We have all lost our common father and benefactor.
L, Iu the midst of his unwearied care for Russia's prusL
peritv. and the glory of the Russian arms, the Emu
peior Nicholas l'aulovitch, my most blessed father,
tj lias departed to eternal life.
His last words were?' 1 thank the glorious loy
' ill Guard who in 182-3 saved Russia, and I also thank
the brave army and fleet, and 1 pray God to maintain
in the e? urage and spirits l?y which they have distinguislied
themselves undei me. So h-ng as this spirit
remains upheld, Russia's tranquillity is secured
hc.th within and without, and w.ie to her enemies! I
l- loved my troops as my own children, and strove a?
u much as I could to improve their condition. If I
was not entirely successful in that respect, it was
from no want of will, but becau-e I wa? unable tnde
vise anything better, or to do morc.? May these ever
memorable words remain preserved in your hearts
as a proof of his sincere love for yon, which I share
to the largest extent, and let them be a pledge of
your demotion forme and Russia ! ALEXANDER.
A postscript presents to the Guards the uniform
worn by the deceased Emperor, and directs them to
! retain on their accoutrements the initials of Ntcholas.
j The manifesto concludes : " May the sacred memo*
1 ry of Nicholas survive in our ranks as a terror to the
j foe, the glory of Russia."
All eyes are turned to the conference now in
session in Viennia. Though this medium the real
designs of the new Russian Governmenthnust be made
known, and upon the results of the discussions de]
pen9 the solution of the question of peace or war.?
' 1 The Congress formally met on Thursday, the fifteenth
) ! of March. There were present one French, two En'
' glish. two Austrian, and two Turkish Ambassadors.
The Russian Plenipotentiary was not present. The
" ' Cabinet of llerlin having refused to accede to the
f t treaty of Alliance and to accept the protocol of 28th
^ ! December, the instructions of the French and En
' I glisli Plenipotentiaries cnmmanilcil that the owiter?
once slmll open apart from and without the co-opcra
1 tion nf Prussia: until it shall have placed itself up?m
the footing occupied by t!ie parties to the treaty."?
? I T!ie King of Prussia having refused t.ieome to ternts.
i his Plenipotentiaries were therefore excluded from
the conference, and his alliance with Russia thus far
< | established.
The instructions of the French and English gov,
ernnients to their Representatives a re explicit. They
- are required to ascertain whether, in their opinion.
I ! from the tone of the Russian replies, that government
is animated by a sincere desire to effect an honI*
orable and permanent peace: and for tliis purpose,
i ' they are to proceed upon the basis already laid
1 down. If they shall discover that it is the design of
the Ilus.-ian Emperor to elude a direct reply to the
^ demands presented, they are commanded immediately
to declare the negotiations closed. The following
' despatches give the progress of the proceedings, so
far as ascertained when the .\>ia left.?"Telegraphic
reports say the discussion on the general basis of ue"
gotiations terminated satisfactorily, tiurn ?rs are
current that Austria and England would he content
without the demolition of S-hastopol. but that the
Emperor Napoleon absolutely insists on that coiidi'
tion.
Viknxa. Friday Night.?At the conference yesterday.
the Plenipotentiaries exchanged their powers.
and proceedings were entered upon. The four ha-es
. and the interpretations given to them by the Allies
1 having been -ct forth, the Representatives of Kus.-iu
accepted them verbally. One of the I'lenipotentia
lies was hereupon deputed to draw up a minute or

The state of affairs lief'Te Sebastopol ha= not been
' essentially changed. Immediately after the death of

in Paris and London, under instructions, advised an
' armistice, ami recommended that the -.'o'.'r* <, > <

an influential London journal, w hich give- the view
generally heel with regard t the future policy f
the New t.'zar :?
Althoiigli the present Emperor is known to 1 a
moderate. prudent. a:el. t > i certain extent, iniamV.itioi.*
in.in. lie cannot ami ilare -w.-rv.* hi the
hereditary policy of his ancestors, lie eanm t ami

his lather. a- regards the pro-cut eri e-. lie w:.l
aiihere stringently the late Kmperor ? n solutions.
.Nothing more will be accorded than wa- intended t<<
be accorded by the father. The late Kmperor was
mighty ami powerful beyond all parallel. Hi- -abject
venerated him : their confidence w-i- unbotimle?l.
Ami yet he dared not venture heyoml certain
iengtlis. Those length- are known. I'lie pr? sent

by exhibiting symptoms of weakness, .ami thus ri-k'
ing to excite the ill-will of the l'an-Uu--ian party
, ami the army, both of which have been t maticiscil

Nor will 1'ru-sia -land idly by. If -he y:t.*1*l*.*?l

t.'zar. -he will deem it a holy duty to vivify in the

Friday last, and resulted in the death ol" a slave
.1 ndf.w, the property of Mr. Kiciiauo K. Kknnkpy.
at the liands of a young man named Bki.i.. The
boy, who had been hired by Mr. Bki.i, as a laborer
011 his farm, ran away several weeks ago and remain1
ed in the woods until ^Yiday. when he was caught
and whipped so severely ami unmercifully as to
i cause immediate death. His skull was fractured in
several places, ami tiie entire body mangled in a
! most horrid manner. A jury of inquest rendered
I iu a verdict in accordance with these facts. Mr.
( Bki.i. has not yet been apprehended,
j From a personal acquaintance with Mr. Bku.,
i we cannot but be deeply pained, as well as greatly
surprised, at such an event. He has hitherto borne
' an irreproachable character, ami we had marked
{ him as an honest, inoffensive and kind-hearted young
man; and we must believe that the facts as related
to us have been much exaggerated. Should they

We are indebted to Lieut. Tiiux.ts, of the e<
Ar*enal Academy, for a copy of the official Register u<
"1 I'ae Oniccrs and Cade's ?,f the Smith Carolina
dilitary Academics, lor ]S"/1. We are pleased to m
learti that these Institutions are both prospering: :i<
finely, and are doing faithfully and well the work to m
which they have been appointed. The graduating i kt
lass of 18-34, we find, numbered 13, among whor
'e note the names of our towns-men, Me?srs. Cow
hi) and Jenkins. The second class numbered 20
lie third class, in which is the name of our youn
iend, Gkohoe Ross, 24 ; and the fourth class, a
lie Arsenal, among them It. T. Habpku, of Vorli
4. These numbers, which express about the aver
ge ratio of the classes, give a proof to the assertio
lade in a former issue of our paper, that the large
umber of young men are compelled to leave th
itadel for want of an adequate preparatory school
ig. The standard adopted for the higher classes
le strictness with which the requirements are en
)rced, and the rigid discipline observed by th
orps of Professors, invariably check the progress c
ny student who has entered these Institutions with
ut an adequate preparation. Tho number of Cadet
ppointed to the Arsenal for the present year is 8'.i
f whom not more than fiftrrn will be able to wii
leir diploma ! From this statement it can easil;
c learned that it is absolute folly to send a boy t<
lis Institution, who has not first undergone somi
. vere course of training.
The number of graduates since the organization o
ic Academies is put down at 101 : all of whom an
ow engaged in useful employments.
