European News.
"We condense, from the Columbia papers,
the news by the late arrivals of steamers
from Europe.
In the Crimea, things seem to be wagging
on pretty much as heretofore. The Vienna
Conference was to be opened in a few
days." All parties seem df?: us of peace.
A battle had been fought at Kupatoria, in |
which the Hussi-us, comprising forty thousand
men, were ui ulsed with a loss of five
hundred, bv thoTnrlrs nnilur Dm iw
after an action of four hours. Affairs at
Sevastopol are unchanged. Lord Raglan
is said to have resigned, in anticipation of
his rccall, and several other officers had
fceon invited to "go and do likewise." Louis
Napolf.on seems bent on a visit to the
scat of war, but England and Austria advise
him to stay at home. It is reported that
Russia had declared war against Sardinia,
and that Tuscany had joined the Western
Jr Towers. It was said in the British Parliawent
that suffering was liot confined to the
English army, but that the sick list of the
Russians run tip to about twenty-five thou-|
sand. Sevastopol is considered more impregnable
now than ever heretofore. Thousands
of Russians are constantly employed
in adding to its defences. The allies, especially
the English, wore suffering dreadfully
from cold?many dying, losing hands, arms,
legs, and so on. England seems to desire
peace, but Russia evinces no such desire unless
upon her own terms. The allied force
now in the Crimea numbers one hundred
and fifty thousand.
In England it was deemed not advisable
to lay before the public the correspondence
between that country and this on international
arrangements, in a time of war. It
was stated, however, that the two countries
were on (lie most friendly terms. Destitution
in England had readied a fearful height.
The poor were in a most deplorable condition.
A riot, of two or three days' duration,
had occurred in Liverpool, and a disturbance
in London, among the unemployed.
The above rather contradictory accounts
are by the Pacific, which left Liverpool on
the 28th February, and arrived at New
York on the 14th instant.
By the arrival of the Africa, on the 15th,
we have Liverpool dates to the 3d instant.
It was announced iu the British Parliament
that the Czar of Russia, Emperor
Nicholas, had died, on Fridav. nt. rvn<?
o'clock, of pulmonic apoplexy. The announcement
had caused the most intense
excitement in England and France. The
Peace (Vienna) Conference Was to assemble
on the 5th, and hopes of peace were entertained.
The advices from the Crimea are
of the same general tenor as those per
steamer Pacific.
The most startling news, it will be perceived,
by these despatches, is that of the
death of the Czar. It may be true, or it
may be false. We shall neither admit nor
deny, until further advices are received.?
There is certainly a possibility of its truth,
for it is possible for any man, a king not excepted,
to die at any hour; but the statement
may be a trick of speculators to adi
ranee stocky or an invention of some hardrun
news-gleaner. It is said that his extreme
illness had been previously reported,
and fupds h'ad advanced in consequence!
We have no doubt the people ,of England
would rejoice almost as,wildly over the
* death of old Nick of Russia as they would
over a like disaster to "Old Nick" of the
mineral kingdom below. > But why should
they! Wjjjl the spirit of Russia bow with
the head of horJEmperorf Nay, rather is
there not a possibility, not to say probability,
that he raay be succeeded by a more
Ambitious tod rapacious ruler, who will
- strive to excel in'ofistinacy even *4he stabborn
Nicholas himself? The thhh is, the
Russians, under almost any leader, upon
their own soil, and backed by their immense
wsooroe*, are full matefc, not only for
' ni
France ami England, 'out for tlic whole of
Europe. Wo arc sorry for poor Turkey,
and would rejoice to sec her snatched from
the paws of tho Bear, but not by those
whoso tender mercies would make her a
wolf's repast.

An Attractivo Project.
Montcomeuv, Ala., March 13,1855.
/Cditors of the Press:?You will oblige
mo by publishing the following editorial
of tho Montgomery A fail of yesterday
evening, 12 instant.
I am t>nc of the gentlemen to whom the
Editor alludes, in terms so laudatory, ami
I have charge of tho interests of the enterprise
in this section. The other is a gentleman
who has held a place in the councils
of our country second only to the Presidency,
and who has no superior in this
country, in genius, courage, anil military
capacity.
It is indeed a most dazzling project, certain
of succcss, and will prove a Lamp of
Aladdin to the adventurers.
If there are any yc-*>g men in your section,
of courage and character, who wish to
follow my lead, and make an ample fortune
in three years, they can have it insured by
early application to me, at this place.
If there are any who wish to invest money
that will quadruple itself in one year, 1 offer
them the opportunity. The article helow
is sufficiently explicit, and discloses all
that can now be disclosed.
Yours respectfully, 13. L. POSKY.
Wo have been lately advised of an cxperlitinn
l.~l i ? '
.....V) iiunn, IIUIUS UUl 1IKII1US|
ments to enterprising, adventurous young
i men, far beyond any that lias been mooted
i for years. Not the first golden promise of
virgin California exceeded what here may
be reasonably exjKkted, if a moderate
amount of means, and nfcn of the right
sort can be speedily secured. An important,
distinctive advantage possessed by it,
over all others, is that the returns of the
adventure, if successful, will be almost immediate;
while we are convinced that with
ordinary pi-udenco, joined with celerity of
movements, success is almost beyond a peradventure.
It is not allowed to us, to say much concerning
this enterprise; but there is no interdiction
on declaring it a lawful, honorable,
and most probably a peaceful plan of colonization?ofie
with which the government
cannot iutefeie, if it would, it seeks to
I place under the influences of Anglo Saxon
civilization one of the most magnificent reI
gions of the earth's surface; to open up.
| with Aladdin-like rapidity, the must magnificent
sources of a diversified and almost
limitless commerce. Tlie domain to he
subjected abounds with immense l?u(. undeveloped
wealth; it presents 110opposition to
the projectors of this plan, 011 the part of
the true heritors of the soil; and the mere
exhibition of the means of protection to
them and their friends, will probably be
sufficient to prevent any difficulty in the
acquisition. The healthful, energetic, intelligent
young man, before whom are a
long probation and doubtful success here,
has a glorious opportunity to strike, with
an approximation to certainty, for the amplest
fortune. The risk is hardly greater
than that of a trip to Oregon, and, we are
informed, the ranks of the compara'ively
small company are rapidly filling up, with
men of character, talents and means. At
all events, we personally know that some
such are contributing to the enterprise.
It is quite right for us to state, that we
have nothing, personally, to do with this
matter. Further, we are opposed to filibustering
expeditions, on principle; hut we regard
this as lawful, honorable and most
promising. At least two gentlemen whose
lead we should not hesitate to follow, where
sagacity, nerve, atid fertility of resource are
required, are embarked in it. We liave
seen the specifications and know the general
outline of their plan. We cannot disclose
these, but wc will say tlmt?while,
positively, wc have no connection with the
adventure, except a desire to see friends
succeed?we know a gentleman in Montgomery,
who will impart the information to
any young man of good character, who will
first convince us of his desire to connect
himself with the association.
It remains, only, for us to add, that this
matter is not the "Kinney ?xpedition,"nor
has the public, as yet, ever obtained any
information concerning it. We pledge ourself
that it is not one of thoso about which
our newspapers have been discoursing.
[FOK THK INDEPENDENT PRESS).]
From Montgomery.
Montgomery, Ala., Fed. 23, 1855.
Editors of the Press:?Last week 1
wrote you a long letter from this place,
Some of my friends urge me to write constantly,
that they may hear from me through
the Press, and to gratify tAnem, I will give
you another letter. Soir-? people may think
it easy to write a letter for n n<?wannnor
--- - 1"?r~*i
but they are 6adly mistaken. Even if the
material is abundant, the selection and: arrangement
and proper expression ~6f. it ie
difficult. And the fact that your readers
feel no interest in the local incidents or occurrences
of this section, increases, the difficulty.
}
I have very little change to report-in local
matters sinco my last. The drought and
low water still continues. Though the heavens
a? dark and threatcn'r^ln.-Tet they
only .? - '?
"HSU" the woWL of

,
will give place to "corn dodgers." So our
boarding house threatens. There is in this
city and in thirty miles around, sixty thousand
cotton bags, which if sold at a fair price
would bring $250,000. This amount put
in circulation would surely relieve l!n? money
market for a time at Ic.-ist. The scarcity
of Banks in this State makes capital
very scarce. There are but two in the
State, one at Mobile and one at Tluntsville.
This city gets no benefit from either of tlu-m.
The public capital of this city consists of
a one horse-bank, under the free banking
I system, called the Hank of Montgomery,
i with a capital of $100,000, and the Montgomery
Insurance Company, of some larger
capital, but which emits no bills. Besides
this, there, are a dozen brokers, with perhaps
*250,000. But the most of the capital
here is furnished by the agencies of the
Carolina banks. There is not a one-horse
bank in South Carolina that has not go^,
its bills in circulation here. By this they
nr;iin ,1 flmililfft rPk?.. ?4
o - ........1IIC)' gut
usurious rates of interest, and get their bills
far from home, which secures them against
a rush upon them in critical times. ,Jt is a
benefit to (he business of this place, but it is
an outrage on good faith and honesty, which
your Legi:-l;rture ought to inhibit. There is >
not a commercial town in Georgia, Tonnes- j
sec, Alabama, Mississippi, or Louisiana, that
| is not largely supplied by the money of
'your hanks. Your Hamburg Bank, wlrch
1 believe has a capital of ?500,000, lends j
^. 50,000 at home, and uses the other nine- j
tenths abroad. I said this was an outrage ,
011 good faith and honesty. Now, il is evi- ^
dent that, when the citizens of any town in
your State, jisk the Legislature to charter a
| bank, in Columbia tor instance, that it is the j
j implied agreement between them and the j
legislature thai the Bank is to benefit the |
j>eoj)le of the State, anil particularly of (lie i
locality. Unquestionably this is the promise
they hold out, fur with what face eould
they ask for a charter to lend money upon
fictitious capital to the people of Mississippi ?
| And when your Hanks transport their capi- [
tal to foreign States, and refuse it to its own j
distressed communities, they do commit an
outrage upon good faith and honesty. I ,
j know that it was Mr. Cunningham's inI
tcntion to correct this evil. What wasdone
in your Last legislature I am not aware,
as I could not read at the time.
A large Bank is soon to go into operation
here. Its capital is about 8700,000,
and a large surplus is already subscribed.
As is usual, however, there is a minn-cl
j among the subscribers, several parties eon'
tending fur the control of its capital and op;
orations. Whether they will compromise j
I or engulf the institution in''the delays of i
ehnnceiy" has not yet been-seen. Strange
j to say, cotton still keeps firm. A decline
in Europe and low water have no influence 011
some crazy speculators here. Cotton ^
goes now at from 7 to 8 cents. Of all gam- j
biers, cotton buyers are the most fool-hardy. {
II heard of one case, here, when cotton was
sold in the morning at 7 1-2, and th<* same
article sold the same evening at 3 3-4.
Before I dismiss the subject of baui::i< r,
I must say, that in your State, it has cached
the degree of a public nuisance. Agricultural
communities have no need of banks,
and they never work well among tliom.
The fact is, the banks in your State were created
to supply capital to foreign States.
The confidence which is felt in Carolina
Banks is the cause of this. From the Potomac
to the Mississippi, and from tlie sen
to the Alleghanies, the Banks of your State
pass freely at par. It is a singular fact, and
is not true of any other State.
Your State deserves credit for avoiding
the late humbug of pree banking. Barnum
never invented a more unmitigated humbug.
The great principle of the system, "the ultimate
security," will never suit the exigencies
of a commercial community,. When
a Bank or an individual suspends payment,
however ample the assets, their bills will be
at a discount. Fact is better than theory,
and the fact that dozens of them have bursted,
proves the fallacy of the argument, however
specious, which claims for them the impos
sibility of failure. But I have said enough
on this subject.
In December there was a meeting here
of the projectors of the Pacific Railroad.
' As the meeting was strictly secret, you may
1 not have heard much of it, and though it
! has been some time ago, I will tell you what
I know about it. The parties present were
> R... J. Walker, T. Butler Kino, Duff
1 Greek,- and a half dozen money-kings, who
' were Vo back these broken speculators. Any
1 scheme in their hands, looks rather fishy.
1 Col; Wiofall, of Texas,, was present as
' their legal adviser.
Their meetings wej^held in a little prif
Vate parlorifith cloeeddoors. W.bat transpired,
therefore, is known only to themsel ves.
Mr. Knvo j^ddresseda meeting of the citizens
on the subject, in which he garejiany
i n teres ti ng facta; bqt paid .nothing about the,
seorett of tfee Company:- '-iftar Jmn,'t oall
id for*Col WiofalL, and bo warm was the
" response of tha auflience. that, although very,
> tlrJttell, he was obliged to speak,- which b?
did with great effect Jfererjr body ynk de
lighted with him, and particularly one South
Carolinian, \\ ho declares ho is the greatest
man your State has produced since Calhoun.
1 am not far from agreeing with
him. Tie is still young, is already a commanding
man in Texas, and his star is in
the ascendant.
Since his return to Texas, he said in a
speech that, the Charter of the Company
was forfeited, and the Company dissolved,
lie advised the formation of a new Com pany.
This is the history of the affair, as I
understand it.
The road is to run a thousand miles, 3-1
of the whole distance through Texas. The
last Legislature of Texas granted Hie Company
12,000 acres of land foreverv mile r.f
road. It is li> run through a very fertile
soil, ami the land will easily sell for $5 per
acre, as soon as the road is built. This will
give $G0,000 per mile, and would build the
road and leave a largo surplus, besides the
road, as a clear gain to the stockholders.
Thus it looms up as a gigantic speculation,
which would make million* for the speculators.
I have no doubt but that it would.
But the pressure in money, and the want
of confidence in the scheme, has killed it
off. It was a condition of the charter that
the Company should deposit before 1st November,
1851, ?300,000 as an earnest of |
their sincerity. They made the deposit in !
the bonds of an Iron Manufacturing Company
in New Jersey. The constitution of;
Texas disallows the State to hold the bonds
of any "corporation," and in consequence
the ( over nor declared the deposit not made,
and the charter forfeited. But there are
vast difficulties attending the project. The

gion. The laborers must, be imported then*,
ami they must be white or black. While
laborers will not work well umbra Southern
sun, and they would be frequently making
strikes for higher wages. And nothing j
is more certain than that they would open
gold diggings in building the road, and then ;
of course white laborers would quit instant -;
er. This is one horn of the dilemma. The!
other is slave labor. One hundred thousand
laborers is the smallest, number that could j
do the work. They must be bought. At j
& 1,000 a head they would cost one hundred
millions of dollars. This must be
raised merely to start on. Then the expense
of transporting, equipping, and feeding
them in a wild region, paying thousands of
employees, engineers, overseers, medical
stuff, &< ., ?.tcn would require the resources of j
the Rothschilds. It is an undertaking for!
which the East India Company might |
well shrink. All this must be paid out in j
actual cash, and not a cent could be realK

i/.cu irufii me laiui or me road in live or ten
years. This view of tho case, ami it can;
not be controverted, shews the stupendous
obstacles to the accomplishment of the proj.
ect. Mr. King in his address ignored this
part of the subject.
I Yesterday was, I believe, the 125th annii
versarv of tlie birth-day of Washington.
It was celebrated by the military companies,
by cannonading, a parade, and a military
> ill. A rather curious incident followed
the cannonading which is perhaps worth,
j the mention. A horse attached to the can:
non was seized with lockjaw, and died, after j
several hours of painful struggle. We have
two fine military companies, the Blues and
the Kifies. The former was recently commanded
by Captain, now General, Clanton, I
who was a member of the Palmetto llegi- j
meat. The Ivitles arc still commanded by j
Captain Tiiokn, an officer in Mexico. lie |
fell in love with a Mexican girl,married her,;
and brought bet home with him.
Gen. Qi'itman arrived here last night on !
his way to Washington. Col. Watson, j
ono ot Ins staff in Mexico, waited upon him,
and took him to the military ball. Gen.
Clanton introduced him to a gelleman, as
Gov. Quitman. He objected to the title,
and said, he preferred to be called Gen.
Quitman. He is prouder of his military
than his civic honors, ne turned up on
us here very unexpectedly, as Gen. Concha
is daily expecting him in Cuba.
If lie goes to Cuba, you will hoar of some
desperate fighting. No man can fight any
harder, or longer, or faster, or fiercer, than
him. I fought two battles under him, and
know hits mettle. One fight lasted from 10
o'clock to sundown, and was fought four
hours at two hundred yards distance, with
cannon.. 1 am afraid he has more valor
than discretion. The only separate commaud
he bad in Mexico was at the Belen
Gate, where his impetuosity made him disobey
orders or rather advice. Gen. Soott
sent him against the Belen Gate with two
thousand men, and told him merely to make
a demonstration, and threaten, but not attack,
while he with Bix^thousand men,
would'AtUck the San Goame Gate, which
was weaker. QcmiAiv, however, was so
eager for the fray, that he di$ storm .the
Gate, and enteredthe city threehouate before
Scorr. He even continued the obarge to
wfthin one -hundred yards of the citadel,
when he was obliged fo retreat This was
a uaeles* waste of blood, but'he was as prodigal
of his own a? of others', and soldiers
oerer$?mpJa5fr to follow where their chief
will lead# Like all others who were with
him, I have a warm affection for the man.
In his virtues he is as geutfo as in his rage
lie is terrible.
In sight of my floor is a slave mart.
For several days I have seen there a nioef
|?luin|), modest little girl, a quadroon slave,

ami is what is called alnong traders rt "fall-j
ey." I am assured 1 ?y one who knows, that'
she is a (laughter of (Jen. Tayi.ou. Such |
things will happen in the South. When I
was North, I heard an abolitionist ranting
about a grand-daughter of Thomas .Jkhkkkson
being a slave. Hut what of it,
ami who is to blame! The rule of law
cannot vary, but still runs partus scf/iiitur
rent rim ; ami if Thomas Jkfkkusos or
(Jen. Tayi.ou let their blood flow in that
channel, they must take the consequences.
It does not often happen that a man fj?-ts
rich by getting drunk. Every rule though
has its exceptions, and so has this. Last
Monday a man got drunk and gave five
dollars for a ticket in Swan's Lottery.
The next dav it drew $7 ~.Of? Til..
ment is very brief and very conclusive. If
lie liail not got drunk, (liis friends say,) he
would not have bought the ticket ; and if
lie hail not bought the ticket, of course, he
would not have drawn the prize. So there's
luck in liquor sometimes.
We often hear the question, "what's in a
name?" That's what, T say. Nothing, of
course, and I will give you the proof. An
agent on the railroad bought two Lottery j
tickets, one of which drew $0,750, and the !
other ?1,100. And his name was Dooi.itti.k.
So there's nothing in a name.
