We copy the following interesting letter of Rev. M. Y. Yates, from the last number of the Home and Foreign Journal. You will doubtless rejoice to know that Shang hai is no longer a besieged city. The imperial ists, by some means other than hard fighting, got possession of the city last light. Some say there was treachery on the part of some of the rebels; others say that the rebels having exhaus ted all their supplies within the city, attempted to escape in the night. If it were an attempt to evacuate, it was not very' successful, for several hundred poor victims were caught, and have du. ring to-day been beheaded. Those who.escaped last night are being hunted down. like wild ani. mals. I suppose more than half the rebels that escaped from the city will be detected, and exe euted. Among the victims that were decapitated to day were three foreigners, (a Dutchman, a Dane, and a Malay.) The scene at the- camp this af. ternoon beggars description. The heads of some four hundred unfortunate beings were thrown in - baskets or bags, to be taken to the six gates of the city, where they are to be exposed to public gaze for several days ; while their headless bodies some of which having their hearts and longs ex tracted, were thrown in wild confusion over the execution ground. Whilst this work of death was going on at the camp, the main body of the imperial soldiers were pillaging the unfortunate inhabitants of the city, who had been shut up there during the entire siege. The city of Shanghai is now a mere wreck. The imperialists, when they got-within the walli being, it would seem, determined to make sure work of it this time, commenced setting fire to the houses; and they did not stop this work 01 wanton destruction till nearly one half of the best portion of the city was in flames. The fire is not yet wholly extinguished. Al. the churches within the wall escaped injury from fire, though they narrowly escaped. It burned to within one house of the Baptist Church ; to within a few doors of the London Mission Church; quite up to the Episcopal Church, and quite up to the Sabbatarian Church dwelling on three sides. r The Baptist Church has sustained very serious damage from the French's attack upon the city It has been pierced many times with round shot and ten-inch shell. The tower is so much in jured that It will have to be taken down; at least one-half of it. We have not yet made a thor. ough examination as to the extent of the injury but we know enough to feel quite sure that it will not be safe for the tower to remain in it present state. The injury to the body of the church is not such as to preclude our holding services in it, and I hope soon to resume my old stand. March 6th.-About 1,200 rebels have been behejaded. The leaders of the rebellion at this place, it is said, have escaped. The masses that fled from the city when it fell into the hands of the rebels are returning to their homes in thme city. Thoqsands of them have nothing left but the few bricks of which their houses were built. A person, who registered his name as N. S. Pratt, a native of Gerona, near Barcelona, aged 27, arrived at the Mills House in this city on Wednesday afternoon from Columbia, and shut ting himself, up in the room on the fourth story, tore up some $80 or $90, and then set fire to the bed, &c. The smoke eaused an alarm, and on the door being broken open about haltf past 6 o'clock, lhe precipitated himself out of the window and fell to the ground, a distance of about sixty feet, breaking his back and oth - aey'to the City Hospital, where he receIved every attention. HeI was alive yesterday after noon, but the lower part of his body was inani mate, and death was deemed inevitable. He is a single man, and his father is alive in Spain, but his mother is dead. He has been four years in the United States, and' passed the last fwe months in Columbia, where he worked at his trade, that of a tailor, with Mr. H. C. Franek, of That city. From all we can learn, we are inclined to believe that he was subject to tempo rary' aberations of mind.-Charleston Courier. An AFFAIR OF Honon.-Two of our city bloods-a distinguished member of the tele graphic corps and an equally disntinguished mem ber of the medical profession-met on the ten ted field yesterday to cut, by bullets, the gordian knot, which the amicable diplomacy of friends could not untie. The parties having been pre viously arrested and held to bail in this city, took the cars yesterday morning for Osyka, and on that classic spot settled thme point at issue. The weapons were pistols, distance fourteen -paces. At the first fire one of the combatants got slightly winged, after ivhich the difficulty was amicably and satisfactorily arranged. In such-eases a lady is generally the disturbing angel, but in the p resent one we uoderstand the qufarrel originated in a diffennee of opinion in relation to the strength of the Malakoff' arid Reda towers at Sebastopol.-N. 0. Delta, 21st inst. - DE ATH OF WESLEY .LEvEEr.-Wesley Lev erett, extensively known as one of the first Teachers in South Carolina, died at William ston, in Anderson District,'on the 14th instant.

Such a mark of esteem for departed worth could not' be more fittingly bestowed.-Independent Press. IAFFAIRS 1N THlE CRDIEA.-The Washington Star coihtains the following, concernirig the pros pects before the allied army in the Crimea:' " Among the military men in Washington, it ivery generally believed that the allies now have bnt three' desperate alternatives left them. First, to repeat, the assault of June 18, with even more murderously disastrous consequences to themselves, as the impregnable Redan and - Malakoff batteries must be -taken before there eitn be the slightest hope that they can carry Sebastopol by assault.' Next, to retreat to their shipping, which cannot be done without imidense loss, unless the Russians choose- to permit them to depart in peace.. Third, to essay to penetrate into the interior, where they will find on all really important pointoj lines of fortifications as com plete, quite as complete for defence, as those in and hround Sebastopol. That is, if they .make that attempt 'they must reduce a new Sebastopol everyfifty miles on their march into the interior of the country, leaving their rear uncovered, too, and'making the attempt with the knowledge-that their return to the .coast cannot be effected ex '.ept througli'thronughl seas of blood, as it were. One has but to look plosely at a good military map of thle seat of war to comprehend the truth of these rewalm-that is, 'if he has carefully stvdiud the history of the. campaign up, to this time." -- DUEL IX NoaTu CAxorjz.A.The personal .dffiulty between J.

The B5th annual meeting of the Baptist Con. yntion of. South Caonlina has jiitbein'hold in. this place, and at the ane :time the Board of Tristees of tie FurmanUniversity held its an nual 'meeting. The Convention assembled on Saturday at eleven o'clock, in the Baptist Church, when the introductory'sermon was preached'by Rev. R. Furman. After-the sermon, the Con vention was organized by the election of officers -Rev. James C. -Furman being chosen Presi dent,;Rev. J. G. Landrum Vice President, and Rev. J. J. Branily .Secretary. As each church, according to the principles of th6 Baptist denom ination, is independent in its government, the Convention is not a legislative body, but a vol untary organization, having for its only object the promotion of Missionary Bible Publication and Educational interests. Its proceedings, therefore, relate entirely to such objects. On Sunday the usual Missionary Sermon was preached by Rev. James C. Furman in the morn ing; in the afternoon the Rev. Mr. Dayton, Cor-. responding Secretity of the Southern Baptist Bible Board, established at Nashville, preached, and at night the Rev. Mr.'Kendrick, of Charles ton, to large and attentive congregations. On Monday the Committee resumed its sit tings. Reports of an interesting character were read from the different' Boards of the Conven tion, and in the morning Rev. Mr. Tustin, Cor responding Secretary of the Southern Baptist Publication Society, addressed the Convention on the objects and' claims of the Society. At night amass meeting was held, at which ad dresses were delivered by Rev. Mr. Dayton and Rev. Mr. Whilden, Agent of the. Foreign Mis sion Board, and formerly Missionary to China.. The Convention appointed. delegates to attend a general Convention of the Baptistdenomination of the South, to be held in Augusta in May of next year, to take into consideration the expedi ency of establishing a general Theological Sem inary for the South and West. On Monday morning the Convention, after a short session, adjourned, .to meet in July of next year, at Greenville. The-Board of Trustees also closed its session Monday, July 24-Newberry Mirror. . BOg WASmmGTON The correspondent of the New York Herald of 20th July gives the following: The principal menibers of the cabinet met this morning at an early hour. It was chance that brought them together' The President had received a letter from the Czar of Russia, in reply to one transmitted by' especial band through our Minister at St. Petersburg, con gratulatory upon his. succession. This letter, like a previous one received by President Pierce from his illustrious father, bore his own auto graph, and is evidently not' intended for the public gaze. The knowledge that' a letter of this nature had been received, brought about the meeting of an .inquiring cabinet a day be fore the, usual time of meeting. Its sincerity of sentiment, as far as I can learn, appears in every line. The document is a singular one, and, at the same time, somewhat important in its congratulatory tone of the increasing great ness of the United States. The dying father's admonitory advice to the son, his successor, now the~Emperor, was to study his papers-private, which wouid be found in his escretoire-which he had received from the most eminent men in' the United States, among the names of which are to be found those of Jackson, Clay, Web ster and others.' The imperial potentate ack nowledges all th'e value to these papers placed upon them by his illustrious father, and received with expressions of more than usual feeling the strong national interest manifested by the Amer ican people in the success of the war upon whielh his~ great father had entered. He pro poses the most lasting friendship between Rus sia and the United States. This last Eur opean diail has brought more important intelligence to the United States that any arrival .since the es tablishment of our steam connection with Eu rope. THrE Boston Traveller has some further par ticulars of the explosion' of the bofiler of' the locomotive on the Vermont Central Rafi Road, on Thursday. The train.was going at the 11te of 40 miles an hour at the time, the engineer having put on all the steam in order to reach a turn-out at a certain time. The water, unfortu naey av ot an th elosion followed. " The report was terrific, and 'seemed as if half a~ oze'n cannonhad been discharged togethi er. Te engine was thrown from the track. a complete wreck, ahd loged' some distanee off down an embankment. The cars were also both thrown from the track, and so great was their velocity that they proceeded over the sleepers more than a hundred yards before their impetus could be checked, which was oesasioned by the forward wheels becoming deeply imbedded in the ground. -"The explosion was heard for miles. "The conductor who was killed was Riihard Bush, of Burlington. He leaves a family. The Engineer's name, was French. " The fireman' was picked up with a leg ad an arm broken, and otherwise shockingly bruised and sealded. He was insensible, but still breath ed, and on e~onsciousness returning he asked, "What have you all been about?" It is thougt he cannot survive. A boy ini the baggage car had his face badly cut and bruised by portions of the exploded boiler. No passengers were injured, altough their consternation for a while was great." - Capt. David 'S. Young, of Staunton, Va., was struck by lightning, during a thunder storm, last Wednesday wveek', from the effects of which he has nearly recovered. The Vindicator says: ." The fluid struck him first on the arm,; just below the left shoulder, as he stood, on his back porch, leaning with his left side against the north east corner of his house. 'A raised -and- braised indenture of 'about an inch and a quarter outside and transverse the arm, something like a slight burn marks the jlace-of its entry. At that point a hole w'ls made' through his coat and shirt sleeve, of about one'and a half inches dimension. Thence the track of the electric fluid is plainly visible by marks similar'to that on his arm, around his back, down, to his right 'thigh, and thence to the -outer side of his right leg to the toes of his right foot.' In its course it burned the hair from his right -limb and tore the shoe from his right'foot, prostrating him on the floor of his porch, whe're h.e lay helpless, buit perfect ly in his senses, of which. he was not deprived for a moment;-'indeed, he himself', with entire presence of mind,; directed his family in the administration of 'the' remedies by which he was restored-such as pouring' over him cold water, &. The course of the electricity around his body he accounts for by the circumstance of his having at the time keys and. 'other metallic sub stances in the right pocket of 'his pantaloons.". A BURGLAR SHOT BY A LAD.-M:-s. Linseys, a lady residing in Eighth .avenue, New Yor.k, administered a dose to a burglar, which, he will find it hard 'to digest, and which may perhaps stop .the fellow for awhile .from laying his hands on other people's property. T'he Ex press says: At about two o'clock in' the morning she was. aroused from' her sleep by. a' noise in an adjoin ing room, and upon raising up she discovered a coupleof highbinders in the act of carrying off' a portion of her jewelry and her husband'a gold watch. Seizing a revolver . which was under one of the pillows of the bed, .she took- nim at the chap that-had the plunder In his'hands, and as geed huerk would have it, -hit him on the first fire.

They are fartme- and mechanics, who go-out with their fatithii 'with ti view t# better WHAT IS TO COME OF IT . SOME such query as this suggests itself in view of the present attemptiby the so-called American associ ation, to pull dowp all pre-existing 'parties and build up something new upon their ruins. Let the people ask themselves,-first, what is to come of this effort in a National point of view ? How is it to attain the desideratum of unanimity. and good feel. ing in our National Council' ? How i4 it to save the country from wrangling and discord ? How is it to quell the turbulence of party animosities and pour oil upon the troubled waters of sectional strife I Let us observe, in answering this sett of interrogato vies, that Know Nothingism has placed itself before the country in vaunting oppobition to a party which has ever struggled to preserve the Constitution of the United States in its original purity. Its object,' un disguised and unmistakable, Is to crush that party out of power. We allude of course to the-old Democracy of the Union-a party, whose hold upon the affections of Americans can only cease when the memory of such men as JarrzasoN, JAcKSON and CALHOUN shall have faded from the public heart. The upstart of a year, with a motley banner of whose various de. vices the uninitiated can indeed know nothing, with. out antecedents and of unknown if not ignoble birth, calls upon this old and faithful organization, whose history is but the history of the true principles of our Government, to ground its arms and bow before the tinsel sceptre of an hour. What, let us ask, is to come of this? Can unanimity spring from such a source? Can good.feeling be engendered by such a process ? Is the veteran of many fields to cringe be fore the shabby volunteer of yesterday ? Imagine it not for a moment. Even though this new order of politicians had brought with them superior advantages and real safety for our Republican institutions, yet would the pride and obstinacy of an old and cherished creed' resist its officious teachings with something of disdain. But they bring no such advantages, no such safety. Is the Democratic party divided upon- the question of Slavery ? The Know Nothings are al ready far more desperately so. Is the' policy of the Democratic party 'unacceptable to a large portion of the people of the United States? That of the Know Nothings will assuredly prove infinitely more odious. And so, for every defect that may be pointed out in the Democracy, does a more exaggerated one exhibit itself in Know Nothingism. Superadded to this fact, let it be remembered that all the good'features of the New Order are directly borrowed from the Democratic platform. Their " free-trade," "state-rights," "anti tariff," and "strict-construction," principles are copi ed from the Democratic creed werbatim et literatim. We mention the circumstance, not as an objection in itself, but as showing to whom the Know Nothings owe all the estimable parts of their political faith. And is it to be expected that theold Democracy should recognise a superior, or even an equal, in this newly patched up scheme of Know Nothingism i? Is - the great original to be' set aside for a flimsy and uncertain copy ? It cannot be. He is infatuated indeed who anticipates any sugh result. The effhct will rather be to array the old party more firmly than ever. This has been shown already in Virginia. It will soon be shown more decidedly in Georgia.- And thus, instead of unanimity and good feeling, the Know Nothings are bringing nought but renewed animosity into the midst of the land. The fight between Democrgcy and Whiggery, kept up for so many years, was ausierce as it was long. Yet there was a boldness in the position of either party which commanded, for Whiggery as well as Democracy, te admiration of the world around. But there is no such admiration elicited by the approaches of an enemy, who, while affecting sym pathy on many grounds and trusting largely to the armory of his opponent for success, would still thrust that opponent into the dust of defeat and disgrace. This contrast between Whiggery and Know Nothing. ism is already felt and wilt be more and more felt by the American people. It will be seen too that, even should the New Order he so respectably successful as to attain the power of the government, there will then be less of peace and less of unanimity among Americans than at any previous period of our history. Thus, as between Know Nothingism and Democracy, the chan es are many for inc reased bitterness of party dissen sions in our future. But there are other elements which mnst enter into these dissensions to make 'them more terrible. They are, if we may so speak, the for eign and the Catholic elements. However feeble these --r em in their incipienc a rapid gjpowt may h reckondugi under l: combin iluence of pros scription and persecution. And, (to the Know Noth ings be the praise all given !) the day may not now be fr distant when these sources of spite and hatrbd shall pour their dangerous influences with power into the history of American polities. May the hlamec of open ing up such fountains of fliischief attach where it pro perly belongs ! But let us enquire for a moment, what is to come of tis Know Nothing uprising in a Southern point of view ? Jf the order is to have any success, it must be as a Nations)i party. This is boubtless the preference,may we not say the ambition, of its entire membershaip. Now, as a National Party, let us ask ourselves what are the South and Southern interests to expect at its handsi We answer the question by pointing to the single fact that twco third~s otf the order North, (which is ower- one Aalf of the whole order irn the Union,) are given up. body and soul, to the A belitionists.-But, even supposing that the late notion (we forget who started it) of Southern Know Nothingism shall be carried out, is it not clear that its' working must 1p utterly abortive as to any good results for the South ? And this, for the single reason that there can be no afiliation with tI em, not only on the part of Demo crats, but of thousands of others wh'iabhor their'intol erant and proscriptive principles as making up (if pos sible) a worse evil than sectional inequality. It would seem indeed to be self-evident that a party, having its beginnings but n twelve-month since, and that too in the very hot-bed of Free-Soil fanaticism, cannotenlist a union of Southern sentiment on any qluestion, espe cially when it further appears that this party arrogantly seeks to place itself in the lead, over the head of one moreseled,certain and respectablesvix: the Southern wing of the .democratic party. This wing is unques tionably preparing to stand together upon the Georgia platform as the very last point of retreat 'before the unsparing injuries of the North. And, but for the un timely introduction of Know Nothingism into our scton of the Union, the Slave btatea might have. been by this time almost in unbroken line. Howu far this prospect has been interfered with by the New Or der, we do not pretend to estimate. We tr-ust not ir remediably. But, in vIew of the danger, we earnestly hope that South Carolinians, and Southerners every where, will bewae how they encourage by word or deed this strange, unexpec'ted and unwelcome intruder upon the arena of Southern politics. It is not only' useles 'and impracticable for all purposes of Southern scurity, but seems to have been conceived in illiberali ty and is certainly based in error. 3|' A total of 50 patents was Issued from the Pa. tent Office, at Washington, during the week ending July 24. - gR-Farry barrelsof peaches, costing *3 per barrel, wee shipped from Norfolk oft Tuesdiy. 3"7 WATrHER, caors, Erc.-The Winnaboro' Register has now in its ofie one hundred and forty three pounds of squashes-and, thinshols weight 'is made up by twn squathes, one of whic: .weighs sev enty-five, the other sixty-eight pounds. -. 3W' WHEr In Brooms county, Kentucky, has yielded 21 bushels to the acre,'where it never yielded but 12 before.

ORn'S POLITICS - WE are indebted to an attentive -friend fra rough sketch of the speech of Col. Osa, delivered' at the dinner recently given to himat'Anderson C. H. The. crowd is said to have been immense and the occasion a highly interesting one. Besides the speech of Col. Oua, W. GILLMoR: Starus, Hon. P. S. Baooas and others, addressed the meeting. There seems to have been a sprinkling attendance from varioublptiwters of the State, and there is no doubt the talented Repre mentative of our Fifth District made use-of the oppor tunity to announce in full the present political feelings and principles of himself and those with whom he is acting. This announcement is the more interesting to the people of South Carolina, inaanudlii s our Con gressional Representation is suppiseditb be aunit upon almost all the questions of importance now before the country. Without further preface, we append- the notes of our correspondent which were taken-down at the moment and may be relied upon. They are of course brief and disjointed as all such annotations of necessity are. But we give them just as.tliey came to us, believing they will be preferred in that fotd.. Col. Oza fully endorsed-the present Administration, and passed a high eulogium upon Gan. Ptsacz'firn. ness and consistent Democratic course, and particu larly upon his veto messages. He said we were indebt. to the union of the South, the President and the Democratic Party North, for the-privilege of carrying slaves to territory North of the Missouri compromise line. In speaking of disunion, he sail the time had no arrived yet for us to cut off, and could not be under two years, or until after the expiration. of Prebiderii' Ptzaci's administration,-" not," said he, ''ntil it is ascertained that Fanaticism has full control of the North-until Fanaticism has elected a Free Soil Presi dent and Congress." If Free Soilism prevails, the .South must take the issue in her own hands. Next, speaking of the Georgia Platform, he said "If our Northern friends are defeated, the issue will then be upon the Georgia Platform.' He had no doubt that the Georgians would stand to their platform, as all parties are pledged to sustain it-even the Know Nothings. If Congress refuses to admit any more slave States, then Georgia,according to her platform, must make the issue. - He believed that South Caroli na would joinsGeorgia on that platform, and he con sidered it her duty to do so. If Congress repeals the Kansas Nebraska bill, the whole South would unite in opposition ;-the issue he contended would be very. different in fighting for a. right, and for that which was in the distance. The repeal of that law would be taking a right from as that had been conceded by Congress. He had no fear that Georgia would retreat from that Platform, and believed that Alabama, Mis sissippi, Louisiana and others were now looking to it, as to the field where the issue was to be made. He had faith, if the Democratic party, North, should gain the ascendency, that they nould give the 'same vote as before and things would remain as they are; but confessed less hopes than formerly of their regain ing their lost position. But far the greater part of Col. Oax's speech was particularly directed to Know Nothing'sm. Among other things he said-" One year ago in Philadelphia Square, when declaring the same pi-inciples -(denoun cing the Know Nothings,) I little thoughtof ever hav ing to raise my voice against them South of Mason's dr Dixon's line; but I was mistaken." He then asked the question, " What has Know Nothingism done in the free States i Why, in New York ithad placed an abolition Governdrwhere there had been a Democrat-in- Pennsylvania the same in Massachusetts it had elected an abolition Whig Know Nothing Governor-in Vermont 'the same Rhode Island the same,"-and he continued with State' by State until hehbad named eight States having elected Abolition Whig Know Nothing Governors, and one Abolition Dem'ocratic Know Nothing Governor. He said the Know Nothings had joined themselves to every is,. of the day. Maine had eleited FES5ZiDrNa to the U. S. Senate. Massachusetts had elected Wn~sox to" " New Hampshire had elected BELL, Aholitiona Know Nothing, and HALE, a notiirions abolitionist. Connecticut had elected FOSTra, Know Nothing, she could not even swallow Tauxaa Smini, a noto rioes aboliionist-she must even elect a worse man. Illinois elected -TauMSavL-" Blue skin Yankee Tanar.Bnr.. "..in ptanaeof the.- ga1an5 Simatms. S was sacrificed for him by theinfernal spirit of Know Nothingism.' - A. C. Doeca, of Iowa, a purer man he never knew, has been" "sacrificed for a rousd-head Parson (K. N.) by a combination of Know Nothingismn, Abolitionism, Whiggeryand Free Soilism." Pennsylvania was prostrated.. " In short," said he, " there has not, been a man elected to Congress by the Know Nothings who is not tinctured with Aboltionism, and who will not vole to repeal the Kansas and Nebraska bill. Is this an or ganization for Southern men to fall in with? I feelh called upon to warn my constituents against such a party." " The late Know Nothing assembly at Philadelphia say they have adopted a National platform- suited to the South. I hoped they would--I was anxious for it; but their Platform is the most perfect mockery." He asked the question, " whose Platformis it, adop$ cd by an assembly composed of the Southern wing of that party-and one-third of the Northern wing? Two thirds of the North left in disgust, produced a plat form and published it to the world - as theirs. .The rmainder of tho assembly, composed of the South and 011-third of the North, produced what they call the Nationg! platform, the Northern party~all the tie voting against it though remaining with them.. It was a fraud upon the people to call it a National Platform." Hie next tresited of the pbject of Know Nothingisim. It was to exclude Catholics and Foreigners from the afiairs of Government-even front ;be elective fran chise, and how did they proceed to exclude; foregners ? By an alteration of a jaw of Congress t6 extend the term of residence for naturalization from five to twer ty-one years. It was not a fault of Congress that -for eigners voted immediately when coming to this coun try, but arose from the laws enacted by the Northern and North Western States, which provide that foreignt erg, being six months in the State, have the pirivilege of voting. He said he was not willing to give Con gress the power to say when or who were eligible to vote~in the States. It was a power he never wished to see conferred on Congress. If it were, Congress might say our slaves were citizens and entitled to vote, in defiance of our laws; and who in the South could abide thati -Col. Oat asked the qnestion " where did the Unt ed States' Marshals receive their aid when trying to restore fugitive slaves to their ownersi In all cases the hel p has been from th'~e strong arm of the foreign ers, while the natives were trying to steal tlsem.

"am opposed .to Know Nothingism still further'. It condemns all the acts of thie administration,- and as such, is against the Democratic Party'" I~e said their greatest strength in the South was in Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina. In. Tennes see, where parties are- nearly equally divided, the Know Nothing vote was calculated to bi 75,000stronig. They have lashed -themselves into a perfect frenzy about the Catholics, and'the wrongs they are goin'g to-inflict upn the State; and yet in the whole State of Tennessee there are but three Catholic Churches.

Thi coms, merce she is compelled to support and defend at any price, even qt the sacrifice of her last dollar, and her last drop of blood. But todo this, where is her navy ? It would be totally incompetent, under r- - diupry circusstanaes, in case of-war with a first rate power, to perform the service that would be indispensably. and surely required. - Though he natural resources are beyond comparison greater, than those of any other -people, yet the navy of England and France combined, or of England - France alone could annihilate our' doses- men of War, and with them-destroy our-whole Cgamesee and impoverish.millions of our wealthiest ant8 most useful citizens in the space of a single twelve mnth.

They feel that they are struggling for their own existence. dttssia had skillfully and gradually iade every point, in a struggle which has lasted for more than a c'entury, for the occupation of a small sheet of water that would hardly attract the eye of the navigator. Ins that small sheet of water has been involved, and Is yet perhaps involved, the destinies of Europe and Asia, if not of the whole family of man. Our situation, I confess, is'a little similar to that of the Russian Empire, but with much more reason and justice on our side. This accounts, in part, foar the great interest felt in America for the success of Russia. But how different has been the conducto( - Russia from that of this Governmnt. To com mand the Bosphorous, Peter the Great, even before his Empire was established, In his incomparable wisdom, and with his sleepless vigilaieeand'sagaeity deemed it worthy of a mighty struggle, that made his very throne to tremble and totter. under him, and th'e rod of Empire to shake and quiver in his ir-on grasp. In 'pursuance of the same policy, his successors have spent countless mnillions of money, and almost blood enough to float the remainingnavy left to the Czar.
