at Court, instead l?f French. As Grand Duke,
t? was always - kindly to any pare genuine
Russian development in literature and policy.

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

lend fresh fuel to the waibke flame. I* thi*

new probability of peace, nor renders it possible
to cooot on any concession to the allies
which be would not hafre made.

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. '
Since the snow the weather has teen exceedingly
variable, and blustering March seems determined to ;
make consider ible noise belbre he takes his departure.
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
