In one pla*co wjrere n sentry had heeii n" posted, the man had left his inuskel leaning against the wall having most probably taken , to hi8 heels. We then entered the town by .j"1 the famous loophofed' wail, and- Sebastopol .i was before us. It Was at once apparent why Pr our seaward batteries had. made so little im *' pression on the place.- The high bqildingsjind ,rei houses of the towu, which had appeared so close to the walls, were more than a ,mile distant. separated by a deep ravine. Shut and shell' -r from various quarter had left their marks on \yo every shattered wall.and perforated roof. We 0 then, hv virtue of a Dass. went to Fort Alexail <ler, containing 163 casemates, looking seaward. ' each casemate armed with a.heavy gun, and affording lodging lor 15 or'20 men. A Ions open gallery connects eVery part of this work pp In the basement story of this enormous fotfr' we observed several cuttings'which at the time jet of the bombardment" were being drivert under: 0f supporting walls for the purpose (if exploding". aj( the whole. The workman were inturrupted he and had left their work their tools being in the co same state and condition as when dropped by' rt]j them. a r ' From this spot we ascended to the highest jj,( part of the town, to visit what had beep a club jiC house. This is a fine building, with a basso h*c relieve slab of some Russian historical subject .which-we could not understand. This struc- ?? ture is a copy of the Mnseuui?at Kertch. Near su| 1 it is a copy of the Temple of the Winds, at he i Athens. We were generally disappointed with | .the town of Sebastopol; it is irregular, and of pa I course, now very dirty. From the town we pe descended to the waterside and entered the e;. 1 dockyard. Little was left here the destruction g0 having been complete; a few boats riddled with f0, shot and the charred remains of ships, being all that were visible, except guns; these were in very perfect order and in large numbers; we counted 1900 and then left off. Walking around CI the edge of Dockyard Creek, we soon came to. tot the dock. We arrived suddenly among the te; wonders of Sebastopol and where all that we at had heard of thegloriesWthe plac6 faded .away a s J>efure the magnificent reality. First of all, we in; inspected a dock where ships of the largest size Vsi are hauled up out of the water, or launched cei ajaiu, by means ofa cradle,placed on'a trainroad J.. This is the work of the Englishman Upton. Then gir we came to the intended govermcnt foundry, m( whose walls were rising to the height of ten chi feet, over a space of nearly twelve acres; part mi of this was obtained by cutting away the spur Cu ofa mountain. The remainder of the hill was ?ni uj-held by a freestone wall,everv stone beautifully his squared and fitted to the height of three hundred and fifty feet. This wall cost 00.000,000 roubles hti about ?100,000 sterling. We had the advan- Ft tnges here of joining two English engineers- who had been employed for many whs in FoHJW"pr,|; these becam our guides and gave us ;t great j ul of information. We then went to see the nous docks. These consist of a series of Jocks 1 e canal locks, the upper end being twenty a'cc< >t higher than the eutrance'lock, which is-' four en with the level of tile sea. The upper, end ofC 3.three locks abreast; Then .comes a compart "J jbt equkly in--the area to* three, then again pree ree more the middle one of which .is entered tesn three other .locks -from the harbor making of (: ogether uine chambers as it wore and thelaige lest* ace in the middle. These are all dry butcan.be -Ber1 ed by water pumped into them by. two stearir has giues. Each chamber is 270 feet long, 60 esq.. wide and contains from 25 te 37 feet of " iter at pleasure. A large ship may be-flohted to t :o an upper lock, all the water can theh'be let mu and'the ship left iu Iter cradle as Tf on shore to g ie docks, with their magnificent masonry or f sings of gigantic granite blocks, steam engines datt d iron aquedtpts for bringing down water and ?m the Tchprnaya, -cost ?2f)j600,000 sterling, trat one of the ddcksih steadier had been burnt; tlie ier machinery \yas standing complete but pin. >tdn& bit df wood remained.

By general consent; she is made'tbe standard beater of the South. \V.o-trusted in her strength, h^r-poeitio<n, and ouroonfidence in the fidelity of her people. The lastreleclions have confirmed our hopes.? There wore some who thought that the poputar manifestations of Georgia were not to he taken as tlie deliberate determinations of her opinion, and they accordingly looked for other evidences of public sentiment." It seems to us*that they now have them. The men who have been sustained by the recent election have declared their understanding of the meaning of its results.? The Message of the Governor, all of which relating to Federal Affairs we copy, ,is strong juid clear on this subject, and the proceedings of' a meeting at the Capitol, in which all the first naeu of the State jtook part, are equally significant. We must take them as in good faith,ot we must wrap offrsdlvos up in a co\ering of selfishness. For oursebes, .wc have faith in this declaration of tho Governor - of Georgia, seconded as it is by the resolves of a body of men who combine an apunmt of ability not found in the leadership of any part of a State.?
