PKLBSiEK THE NEW COMMANDER-IN- CI1IEF. This officer, to whom the command in chief of the French army in the Crimea has just been transferred, in consequence of the resignation of GeiteralCanrobert, bone of those African chiefs who have won their way to high military rank by rather equivocal means. He acquired an iufamdus celebrity by the cruel exploit, which he ot rformed incthe Dahr. in 1845, in suffocating I 800 men, women and children of one of the Arab tribes ia a cave. We copy from the Pantheoji Populnire, a well-edited Paris publication, the following rather apologetic account of this affair: The Kantara, (be title of which signifies a bridge, is a vast thicket which connects two rocky eminences, situated on the borders of the Oucd Fresebich. Here are the vast grottos called Dahrei Freschicb. The Oulcd-Riahs fancied that they had placed in these caves, in full securi - i -i:u j ? If, Uteif Wires, tuwreil diiu vmiiiivu.-a. x ir.w u closely by Colonel Pelissier, wl?o had arrived to undertake a razzia against the Betii Zentes, and who was to be joined by Colonel St. Arriaud, who had taken the Eastern route,,they themselves were compelled to crowd into these caverns (ur safety. Sixty of tbem posted themselves in advance to apprise the rest of the arrival of the French, and as soon as the latter were in sight, , the Kabyles commenced a well sustained fire against the head of the column. Their fire became so hantfring that a party of Arab goura, who followed the "column, abandoned it in terror. After the fire was exchanged, however, the Oijled Jtbia warriors fled to rejotn. their brethren in defence and in martyrdom. ' The cave bad only two entrances?one above the other, Jo which an enclosed toot-patn led. A company of grenadier* to follow this difficult joote, and to arrive u soon as possible at the retreat of the Kabyle?, bnt the latter had the advantage of firing with a certainty of killing the men engaged h? tKhrspecies of ravine. It was found ntfcaaMry to abandon the attack in front. An investment of the place was then thought of. Famine would probably have compelled the Onled Rbiaa to submit, but Colonel Pelissier was in a hurt? to )5in colleague. On the band there were not troops sufficient to I take npa permanentenc^proVfltOHthese rriountaiaa, where mn insurrection mights annihilate the column; in short, a siege was a?t in conformity with the ooloncl's instructions; He-'bad directions, at anr price, to destroy the prestige attached to the retreats of the Kantara. V An infernal idea, borrowed, unfortunately, alitor from our civil wars or from ibe Spaniards in Amcrios, had been indicated as an extreme measure by the os" era or General. It was to terify the Kabylet by threatening to suffocate th^to in their cavoa by rn. It was thought that j ? . ! in presence of such a menace fill resistance would j cease. After succeed.ng though not without a ! pood deal of difficulty in placing himselFin com| inunication with the defenders of'the cavern, I Col. Pelissier threw out the threat suggested by j Marshal Bugeaud. The Arabs, laughed at it, and one of thef rericn nags or iruec ? w c?cu killed by iheiii. A commencement of the project .was made, in the idea that theirindifference only arose from j the certainty which they entertained that the *1 I 1.IJ .?? l.? Milt in nv.'Olltmn Fleam of uireui wvuiu iiut "r j'ui, v...? r dry wood hikT straw were thrown from tlie tops of the Kantara in trout of the caves. The Kabyles removed them, according as they were flong down, hut the fire of the French having driven them back, into the caves, these combustibles after a while made a vast heap, to. which it now onjy remained to apply the fire: No signs of surrender on the part of tilt Arabs having been made, fire was at length thrown on the pile. As if it did not wish to associate itself with the honors of this human butchery, it long refused*to communicate itself to the combustible masses piled by the French at the entrance of the caverns. A few Arabs escaped, and went to a short distance to obtain water. It was expected > lint others would follow them, and that the whole body would then submit.? This was a vain-hope. Just as the sun began to quit its zenith, a breeze arose, which blew directly in the direction of the entrances to the Dhar. Ttie smoke began to whirl and curl in tbu air, the tiamesburst forth and were drawn by the current into the caverns. Many thought that the Arabs had fled by some secret issue, or at least that they had found a retreat where the fire could not reach them. This state of J uncertainty lasted all night At daybreak a company, cc^npose'd partly of arti l-ty mid partly of engineers, received orders . to penetrate into the caves. A melancholy silence, broken by distant moans, prevailed there. At tlie entrance, the animals, wuose heads had been covered over to prevent them from seeing or making a noise, lay reduced to cinders. Then I ......... tu.U.1 rV.Mftnl orniiitis which death lind seized upon. Here am?ther bad been suffoented just as she was defending her child against the fury of a bull, whose - horns she still held, and whotfi the tire had stifled at the same time. To add to the horror of the scene, the naked corpses poured forth their blood by the mouth, and by their attitudes attested the dreadful character of the death struggle. Here, two 1 spouses, or two lovers, were locked in each other's arms. New born children lay amongst the chests and the provisions, and in other places were coucealed in the garments .of the mothers. In tine, scattered in every direction were to be seen mutilated masses of human tiesn, trarnpiea under foot during ihe.struggle of the night, and forming altOgfcfher a sort of human ragout. When all these hsrrors were related to the Colonel he did not seem to believe them. He * sent his staff to assure themselves of the fact.? It was still more appalling when the caverns \\v re emptied of the coipsex and booty which they contained. There were more than six . hundred dead bodi.-s jn them. The greatest consternation pervaded the column ; it is said however, that the .-oldrers were not ashamed to pioHt by the s|M?il> of the martyrs of Darh-elFivschich. We attach no credit to the state mem. However this 111113* *" *> "as had tix<.'d Ujtoii him l>y this deed a terrible name. Ilisterinin that iti giving orders to smoke the caverns he was far horn expecting such a fearful result. With an incredible degree of heroism, the Governor General took upon him. in the face ol outraged public opinion, the responsibility of the command. It should be added, that abo.it a year after the occurrence above related, Colonel Pelissier signalized himself at Mustairnnem bv another . O":?; ( ^ feat-of the same description, bv cutting oft' the stream which supplied with water another tribe, who had taken refuge in some of the mountain caves. In the same year, as a reward for these meritorious services, he was made a general and commandant of the division of Mostaganem. In t the autumn of 1853 wo find him besieging Laghouat, in the Sahara of the province of Algiers, which lie stormed (December 2) with some loss. The flags taken at Laghouat by Gen. Pelissier were deposited on the 30th ot Dec., 1852, at the Irrvalidos. The General has been several times Governor General ad interim of Algeria. He Js from fifty to fifty-four years of age, of a harsh, violent and energetic character, and is generally detested by the army. Such is the new chief whom Louts Napoleon has selec led tor the important ana responsioie posi lately held by Genwal Canrobert. Tlie choice is, per haps, a good one, under the circumstances. ? % . v * OENERAL CANROBERT THE OLD COMMANDER INciiiEr Francois ('anrobcrt was born in 1809, in the department of Lot, some leagues from the village where Murat first saw.ihe light.

A few days after he succeeded to the command of the French Army, on the retirement of Mar shal St. Arnatid, who survived his resignation only a few days. At the battle ef Inkermann, November 5, he had a horse killed under him, and was slighly wounded. He retained the com mand of the French army up to the 16th instant and during that period he continued on the most cordial terms with Lord Raglan.

The^Jlomnn church is illustrated by great names. Her gloomy convents have often been brightened by fervent love to God and man. Her St. Louis and Feneloj. and Mas*illin, and Che verus; her missionrfries, who have carried Christianity to the ends of the earth; her Sisters of Charity, who have carried relief and solace to the most'hopeless want and pain, do not these tench u? that in tfie Romish church the Spirit of God has found a home? How much, too, have her churches to boast? In the English church we ?lio nompfl nf Latimer Hnnkpr. Bnrsow. Lexington, Berkely, and He her; in the disaeirt>. ing Calvinistic church, Baxter, Howe Watts ' Doddridge, and-Robert Ilall; among the Qua-1 hers," George Fox, William Penn, Robert Bar clay, and our own Anthony Bcnt-zet and John Woolman; in the Anti-Trinitarian church, John Locke, Samuel Clarke, Price and Prieslle. To repeat those names does the heart good. They breathe a fragrance through the common air. They lift up tiie whole race to which they belong. With the churches of which they wore pillars or chief ornaments, I have many sym pnthies; nor do 1 condemn the union of ourselves to these or any othur churches whose Doctrines we approve provided that we do it without severing ourselves in the leaRt from the universal I I _ f..i ^Diircn, v/n wir? point we cnuimi uu iw rar nest. We must shun the spirit of sectarianism from hell. We mu-t shudder at the thoughts , of shutting up God in any- denomination. We must think no man the better for belonging to our communion; no man the worse for belonging to another. We must look with undiminished joy on goodness, though it shine forth from the most adverse sect. Christ's Spirit rauBt be equally dear and honored, no matter where manifested. To confine God's love or his good spirit to any party, sect, or name, is to sin against the fundamental law of the kingdom of God, to break that living bond with Christ's universal Church which is one of our chief helps to perfection. Sacuedni66ok Tears.?Dr. Johnson observes: "There is a sacredness in tears." They are not a mark of weakness, bitf of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief of deep contrition, of unspeakable love. If there were wauting any arguments to prove that man is not mortal, I would look for it in the string convulsive emotions of the breast, when the soul has been deeply Agitated, when the fountains of feeling Rre rising, and when the tears are gush' ing forth in crystal streams. Oh, speak not. harshly to the stricken one, weeping in Bilence Break not the deep solemnity hy rude laughter or intrusive footsteps.?Despise not woman's tears?they are what made her an angel. Scoff not if the stem heart of manhood is sometimes melted to tears ?they are what help to elevate him above the brute. I love to sec tears of affection. They are painted tokens, but still most holy. There is a pleasure in tears?an awful pleasure. If there were none on earth to shed a tear, for jne, I should bo loth to live; and if uo one might weep over my grave, I could never die in peace. > IT 4 - T T.

At six o'clock on Tuesday, Kingston having come to inquire about his health, Wolsey said to him, 41 shall not live long.' ' Be of good cheer,' rejoined the Governor of the Tower. 'Alas! Master Kingston!' exclaimed the Cardinal, 1 if ! had served God as diligently as i have served the Kingt he would not have given me over irt my gray hairs P and then he added, with downcast eyes, ' this is my last reward !' With a judgement upon his own life-! On the very threshold, of eternity, (for he had but a few more minutes to live,) the cardinal summoned up all his hatred against the Reformation, and mado a last effort The persecution was too slow to pleaae him. ' Master Kingston,' be said, ' attend to my last request; tell the King that 1 conjure him, in God's name, to destroy this pernicious sect of Luthernns; and then, with astonishing presence of niind in this, his last hotir. Wolsey described the misfortune which the Hus sites had, in his opinion, brought upon Bohemia ; and then coming to England, he recalled the times of Wickliffe and Sir John Oldcastle. He grew animated; his dying eyes yet shot forth fiery glances. He trembled lest Henry Vlll., unfaithful to the Pope, should hold out his hands to the Reformers. 'Master Kingston,' said he, in conclusion,' the King should know, if he tolerates heresy, God will take away his power, and we shall then huvc mischief upon mischief?barrenness, scarcity, and disorder, to the utter destruction of this realm.' irr i? i ._j V... ,1 ? ...? _ t? ??lsvy \v?5 v Aimuovuti uy uic ruun. xvuei a momentary silence, he resumed, with a dying voice, ' Master Kingston, farewell!

It was with difficulty he uttered these words; his tongue began to falter, his eyes become fixed, his sight failed him. He breathed his last at the same minute the clock struck eight; and the attendants standing round his bed, looked at each other in affright. It was the 29th of November, 1530." Black Laws in Massachusetts.?That re mnrkable body the Massachusetts Legislature, says the New York Herald, has been legislating pretty ne'nrly all .the present session for tho benefit of the blacks. They havo adopted an address to the Governor, requesting the removal of a judge acting as United States Commissioner in a fugitive slave case. A law disqualifying all persons who assist in the execution of the fugitive slave act from holding office under the State Constitution ha? passed the House, we believe, and a law placing negro children on the same tooting in the public schools as white has been enacted. Now the blood of the Winthrops, the Otises, the Lymans, the Endicotts and the Eliots is in a fair way to he nmalgamatec with the Sain bos, the Catos and the Poinpeys. Tho negroes have several times forced their children into the public schools, and been sustained, in one or two instances, by the Supreme Court of the State, but the present law settles the matter.

Tub Royal Family of Rcbsia.?The following amiable family picture may be interesting at this time when Russia is thrusting her ursine nose into the politics of Europe: Peter I, the founder, as he i6 called, of the present imperial family, was the murderer of the two daughters and the sons of his brother, Ivan, and the murderer, it is asserted, according to more than one of the annalists of his reign, by his own hand of Alexis. He was himself murdered by Menzikoff, (a name that has again risen up in history) the favorite of his wife Catherine, who, when united to Peter, was already the wife of a iiving husband, and their children were afterwards declared incannkla <?f Homnlnfi Iyawi* in uin.

A revolution displaced- the young Ivan to put on the throne Elizabeth, daughter ot Peter I., and her reign was remarkable for her drunkenness and debauchery.

It hns deliberately- nullified, as * far as its- legislative action goes, a fuiidumeti- t tal law of the Union?a law which vra3 esseu- ( tial to the cohsolidatioii of the State# in the 1 I first instance, and which is here held to be.e# | seutial to tbe existence of the Union. "" * In other words,*t has deliberately nullified | the law for the rendition of fugitive slaves. ' The gravity of this offence will be seen p?- ' tentially if the reader will suppose that all the. i other free States follow the example. That 1 would be at once to light up a border warfare ' between the slave and free States, and it would- 1 iw ttqusge if it did nut lead to a general warfare without termination, except in the utter prostration of one of: the.sections. The subject must be looked at from this point of view, and not individually, as it re- * Istea merely to Massachusetts, which is a re- i mole poipt, and not at all hurtful, by contiguity, to our section. If that State be suffered to give legislative sanction to its enmity against the South, by nullifying the federal laws, it will not be long before fanaticism'shall have grown to a potency totally incompatible with i the allegiance of the South to the Union. 'I he question is what is to be done to stay ! the evil? .. >' < When South Carolina put itself in opposition to - the general government, it had some reason for its oppugnancy. Tho question was argued in Congress by great men, and it is to this day believed that the South had the better of- the argument. There .was, at the worst, even in the opinion of the Northern statesmen, enough of reason in the position of South Carolina to make its nullification plausible and respectable. But how is it with Massachusetts, which now undertakes to nullify a fundamental law ? Thereis no argument within its miserable Legislature on the subiect. The members of it do . not deny that'they are defying a federal law. They see that, and act with a full knowledge of the position they have assumed. It is, in fact, a deliberate, predetermined opposition to , the South, which lies at the bottom of the movement?an offshoot of ihe "higher law" doctrine, which counsels every madman and and vagabond to assume that his passions are the true counsellors of what is right and wrong in law and morals. These miserable knaves never seem to think , thnt the " hivher law" has as much reason within the South as within the North?that hero a man's conscience is as safe a guide as a man's conscience there, They act on the principle of some of Cromwell's trouper*, whoi1 declared that: " The earth belongs to Saints; that we are I he Saints, therefore, the earth belongs to us." The fanatics of the East declare that slavery is a great crime against the " humanitarian" principle; the slaveholder is in ; constant violation of this principle; therefore the slaveholder is a monster that ought to be destroyed legally or otherwise. But they have a higher argument than ibis, which may be thus stated. Every Northern man's conscience is the source of true inspiration for his actions, nod if the Bible and human law be in opposition to that conscience, the Bible and the law i are 14 humbugs" and of no manner of authority. The cunningest abolition papers, in effect, , assume no defence but this, and it is charity to supposo that their conductors are rather fools < than knaves. But to return: something,'it seems to us, ought to be done by the Southern cities in relation to Massachusetts; and we see no action except what lies within the rule of law. We have no means of giving expression to our * ? At. _ a ? ? C ihat avaanf In aversion co me ireasuu ui uh?i> m?vc, tho way proposed in the article which we extract from the Register. That is feasible, proper, and we think, will bo efficacious, and for reasons which are obvious. The essential eie- ? raent of the prosperity of Massachusetts is her trade with the South. It is this which em- ( ploys her thousands of shoemakers?gives bread to her factory operatives?supplies the,,, energies which find" outlets in her potato and ( onion fields, and is the source of her chief mer? cantile operations through Boston.

A man seated in the gallery, aud who saw clearly the cause ofbis: jmbarrassmeut, applied an effectual remedy by rising aud saying, "Dr. Beecher, itVin the Bibia --it's in the Bible."
