With the genius of ibe: Great Frederick in administrative capacity he had almost the genius of Napoleon, for war. jHis moral and conscientious qualities surpasied those of either. ..

In honor of his father whom I He loved devotedly and to whom he looked, with d eep deference he will so act. He was; s^sj* treated by the deceased Czar with the tttisnost foildness? always as the m<?-t coiifidential friend and as his successor.' For alaatt eighteen years the Grand Duke ba* been h*b-1 itaatty present at Cabinet meeting'* giving bis pinion and sharing with his father the thorny ' and heavy burdens of absolute power.

A Pretty Snow { Pell on Wednesduy night,' end continued a part of! Thuraduy morning. Its stay however was quite brief, j and in a few hours it had almost entirely disappeared.

The weather on Saturday night changed quite cold, and Sunday was a winter day. Monday was more moderate, and we have indications of SpMDg. Tit? fruit trees, we hope, have escaped. What we Like. We like home made waggons much better than those manufactured at the Nor;h, and brought, out here aud sold for the conveying of Southern produce from one place to another. On Friday last we yaw at the shops of Mr. Samuel Shiver, a waggon which equalled any. thing that ever ran upon wheels drawn by mules or horses. It was made in Camden by Mr. Shiver, and would hear a favoi ahle compai ison, in every particular with those made any where else, indeed, we should infinitely prefer it to any of those Northern establishments which look well, but are not always remarkable for durubility. Mr. Shiver can make a few more of the same sort, and no doubt will be pleased to supply the wants ot our fellow citizens. The Death of the Czar. .i Speculation, as might have been expected, has been various and contradic'ory, as to the probable results which this sudden event will likely produce upon the d-'Stiuies of contending parties in the Crimea. We hove not expressed any very decided opinion, knowing the usual proclivity o< the press to antieipa e far iu advance, often coming wide of the mark, end frequent 1/ misleading tho public mind, so far as these opinions are read and relied upon. The probable results must of course be specu!ativej ana urae oniy can ueiermine, wueineror mn una out will soften down tho temper of the war parties sufficiently to induce a speedy p?aco. It is quite prob, lematical, whether the succe-sorof Nicholas will listen to terms less exacting than those of that imperious autocrat, whose sudden and unexpected demise, must of necessity, spread n pall, for at least a tia.e, over the destinies of the Russian Empire. One of the greatest m? n in the world has fallen and his name stands enrolled on the paws of enduring famo. Be tho dead Czar tf.e tyrant which some represent him or not, th-re was an intellectual sublimity about him, which captivates and controls the homage nf tlip mind Greatness consists of diffeient elements I Some men are naturally great, others become so.? Ample allownnco should always bo made fur a man who lives and acts under peculiar circumstances; for-1 tune favors some and frowns upon others. Some men are born to honors, and some have honors thrust upon them. But Nicholas of Russia would ha e been a gr at man in any sphere of life, and his towering go. nine is on'y the more distinctly observed, from the elevated position which he occupied is the gicatesf Kmperor of the day. History is obliged to accord him this. Our sympathies have never been enlisted on the side of Russia, for cruel rapacity and overgrown Ambition, are of ail things, those for which we make the least degree of allowance. Our allusion to the death of this mighty monarch, is only made to record in the present form, an event which has caused tuotc- remark and eonjeeturo than any other which has preceded it for years. Our prophetic vision is too dim 1<> discover noything in the future, and we are not disposed to indulge in the spo^nlativ? upon matters of such vital nit imnrmnim imiinr1flnpp_ It 18 An itnilOr'allt fact that the Cur is dead.
