R A L E I G H. N . C. SATURDAY MORNING, OCT. 6, 1855. WAKE SUPERIOR' COURT. Tlii Tribunal, Judge Dick presiding, is in -.. n the present week. Tin re have been so many State cases on the lW-ket, that the Court has thus far had but little time fur the dispatch of civil business. On Tuesday, Lavinia Decosty, a free woman, aii.l Wilson Jordan, a free negro man, were joint ly arraigned for the murder of another free negro, bv the name of Chavis. Messrs. Edw. Cant wkix, D. G. Fowle, K. P. Battle and J. K Mabbiott, appeared for the woman, and E. G. Haywood, Esq., appeared for Jordan, The At torney General for the State. The Jury, after ninaiuing out all night, brought in a verdict of m-ijuittal" as to the woman and of manslaughter as U the other. On Wednesday, an individual by the name of Prim e, from Cumberland, was put on trial for altering a Bank note. For the State, the Attor i , v General ; fr the Defendant, Messrs. Bitsbee an.l Battle. The Jury, after a brief absence, returned with a verdict of guilty. The Attorney General, in behalf of a slave woman, the property of Geo. W. Mordeoai, K-q., indicted for murder, submitted to a verdict ,,t manslaughter. The Judsre imuosed a nominal . i.i.i u i.i I ' ut nt the Mate. The Grand Jury ignored the bill of Indictment amiust the slave of Mr. Thos. Jenkins for the re uiit killing of-Miss Frost. v THE FAIR. At the same time that the indications for the t i-ning State Fair are so flattering otherwise, it i- .iirce, no less of wonder than regret, that our utizeiis manifest apparently so much indifference :i t'i its approach. Is Raleigh about to forfeit its reputation for hospitality? We hope not and Wieve not, and so hoping and believing, we uut to see a full turn-out at the adjourned meet ing t he held on Saturday evening. Kvery private house will doubtless be filled to its capacity with guests, but it is indispenfable that other and ample accommodations should U- made for the immense number who will be unprovided for. novel proceeding wholesome ad vice. At a recent session of the Circuit Court at Madisonville, in East Tennessee, judge, lawyers, and spectators were somewhat startled by a Mr. Dickey, who asked permission to propound some interrogatories to the Court in relation to the Wring of " the law upon secret societies of men "inspiring together for political purposes, with an intention to control the State, Congressional mill Municipal elections." Mr. Dickey wanted to know if it was not the duty of the grand jury tn present the officers and members of the secret cieties. Mr. Dickey wanted to know if it was lejjal lor a judge or magistrate to administer an Kith for any purpose other than as evidence be l ire some court Mr. Dickey wanted to know if i ine citizen could administer to another "a sol ium oath" with an " uplifted hand" and finally, the now immortal Mr. Dickey wanted to know if the violation of an extra-judicial oath was perju ry. Judge Alexander very curtly answered Mr. I'ickey, by respectfully suggesting that, as a grand juror, he would be more profitably em ployed in discharging the ordinary and legitimate duties appertaining to his position. The grand jurors are the conservators of the public peace the guardians of the public morals and the du ties growing out of these considerations will give them abundant employment, without their run ning off after doubtful or imaginary offences. Judge Alexander further intimated that it would l e cause for deep regret, if grand jurors or courts should so far forget their obligations and their !uties as to be influenced in their official action 1 y partizan or political considerations. It is to he Imped that all good, all patriotic men will set their facqs firmly, determinately, against a prece dent fraught with so much unmixed evil. It is a matter of public history and certainty that there :in- now and ever have been in this country political societies and associations, but we have ii h vnience to believe that they or any ot them are "t'ltnxious to the public laws 6f the country. . "I kni.w of no statute or principle of common law which (says Judge Alexander) forbids such or 'inizations any more than Lodges of Free Ma- 'its. Odd Fellows, or Sons of Temperance. In exclusion, I say to you that, in my opinion, the inquiry of the grand jury embraces no case call in;; for or justifying any examination or action on the. part of the jury. If you and I will attend to our own business, and let politics alone, we shall find enough to do." Let Judge Saundebs learn a lesson of wisdom and judicial propriety from Judge Alexander ! THE GEORGIA ELECTIONS. The Elections in this State took place onMon . l i . The stru)p. as our readers wpII know. 'K- - - 7 iv as iK'tween the Afwrican "and the so-called ' Southern Democratic" parties, We give in an other column such returns as have come to hand. We have all along entertained the opinion that the so--alIed "Southern Democratic" party would u in i. - i . n . i . . ... ' .

PIERCE'S NEW YORK FRIENDS. The Southern wing of tht Pierce party, the "Standard" prominently among them, haw always ".defended "the New York Softs, over looked their opposition to 'slavery and apologised for their attacks upon it. Wherever the Softs were impeached, Southern spoils Democrats be came very indignant,-s-seeing which, Pierce would get excited, and immediately discharge from the public service some national Democrat of the Dickinson school, and transfer the pay and title of office to some injured freesoiler of the Martin Van Buren faction. To maintain their ascendancy with Pierce and his spoils loving friends in the South, the Van Burenites played their game according to the cunning rules of Hoyle. They looked wise and said nothing ; being per fectly satisfied that, as long as Mr. Pierce was liberally disposed, the Southern expectants would excuse him to the people. We have frequently exposed the hypocrisy of the Northern wing of Pierce's part'. Its unsoundness, generally, and its particular rottenness on the abolition question, we have often written about: and the alliance lias been kept up, and the Southern Pierce man, a slaveholder, has worked kindly in the traces with the vilest abolitionists. The L alliance is still kept up ! Looked at the miscall ed Democratic State Convention at Syracuse, New York ! The "satauic" black organ, the TiHbune boasts that full three-fourths of the member of that Convention "voted for Van Bu ren in 1848." The New York Evening Post gives the antecedents of the Democratic Stte ticket as follows : "Hatch (for Secretary of State) was a Cass man in 1848, turned Soft the next year, and ran as the anti-Nebraska candidate for Congress in 1854. 'Stetson (fur Comptroller) was a Van Buren Freesoiler iu 1848. "Hawloy (for Canal Commissioner) was a Cass man, turned Soft in 1853, aud Hindoo Kuow- Nothing in 1854 L:ist summer he was an omcer of au anti-iitbraska meeting. "Jervis (for State Engineer) was a Van Buren Freesoiler in 1848. "Thurston (for State .Treasurer) was a Van Buren Freesoiler in 1848. "Tilden (for Attorney General) was a Van Bu ren Freesoiler in 1848. "Agan (for State Prisou Inspector) was a Van Buren Freesoiler in 1848, aaid a Jerry rescuer in 1850. , " . We said last week : "On the 1st October, 1851, a fugitive slave named Jerry was forcibly rescued from the cus tody of the United Statws Marshal at Syracuse, New York, by a mob. One of the instigators of the riot was Patrick H. Agan, one of the editors of the Syracuse Staiulanl. a Freesoil Democratic paper. Another editor of this paper. Moses Sum mers, was actively engaged in the riot, as a ring leader,.and was indicted for the crime b- the United States gTaud jury at Buffalo. To show their sympathy for the rescuers of Jerry, and to secure their votes, the administration or Soft Shell Convention of New York have nominated the tforesaid Patrick II . Agan for the office of State Prison Inspector." The Richmond Enquirer honestly says that this convention, by ''their madness in flaunting the haimer of Freesoilism in the face of the South, i have nt themselves off from an affiliation with the National Democracy." From a long article in the Richmond Examiner, Uyo. we make the following extract. The Exam iner is an independent Southern Democratic journal, and its remarks are very significant : "But the vicious counsels prevailed with the Administration in this New York imbroglio. The policy of pampering freesoilism was persisted in, anrt the Baltimore riatiornusis, pronounced by the rtouin nersen io oe as ueivmg ui i-uC.ai 1 n rtfir1rv hi fh nntmntl nomocracy of New York, basked in the sunshine of official favor, and the Charleston Mercury and the "Buffaloes" ate federal fodder from the same rack.

Such is the position in which this crimin al nolicv has placed the National Democracy on the eve of one of the most important and arduous struggles into which it has ever entered. Its sue cess in 1856 depends absolutely upon its carrying every Southern State, i hat result depends ab solutely upon its entire freedom from suspicion of freesoil affiliations. And here we nave enact' ed farces, at the very threshold of the canvass , precisely the role which threatens, more serious ly than anything else could do, the:defeat of both these contingencies.

The ,hooe anrt sinew, the honest Democratic jieople must take the work of organizing this Convention into their, own hrids, and out of the hands of politicians. Free soilera of every name and shade, presenting5 themselves under whatever garb, boasting what ever terms of confidence and intimacy with South ern Democrats, must be barred out of that assem bly indiscriminately, and driven away like howl ing wolves from about the camp. It must be a convention of the conservative, constitutional Democratic people of the country, and not of I mr gaining politicians, white washed Freesoilers, and fused incongruities. It is of the first nee sity, not only that freesoilism shall be voted down and expelled from the body, but that it "snail be done by a prompt, overwhelming vote, without debate. To this end t is of the first importai.c.', not only that none but firm, honest men, wh will scorn all tampering aud dalliance with the whole of Freesoil, shall be sent to Cincinnati, but that the vote and influence of every Scmthrrn State shall be there to swell the volume of na tionality. We cannot too completely obliterate the stain of this foul New York transaction." . Can Southern men be longer humbugged cheated by a party allied with Van Buron at the North and the ultra men at th South ? KANSAS POLITICS. The agitators of Congress will scarcely peiauit the coming session to pass without lugging the affairs of this territory into the arena-of contro versy. Whitfield and Ruf.il er will both be feturii ed, the former by the voters whoso suffrages will be cast on the day .lixnl by tlte Legislature, the latter by those who hold a lawless election on the lay appointed by the " Free state Convention," held lately at Big Spring. To us it is clear that Reeder's claim will not present the conditions of a contest, and should not even be considered by Congress. lie should be ejected, when he enters the Hall, by the Speaker's order to the Sergeant-at-Arms, not by the report of a committee, and a vote of the House. He will go to Congress .by no better authority than Atchison might claim a seat in the Senate, by virtue of the sham election of the boys who quizzed the New York Tribune. But his advent at Washington will be seized upon by his free-soil friends in Congress as an occasion for transferring the whole Kansas controversy, from its legitimate tribunal, to that bear-garden of sec tional milling matches. We incline to think that when this is done. Southern members should re fuse to have anything to do with it remain sil ent and leave consequences to the North. - The St. Louis Republican gives the address of the Missouri Pro-slavery Convention, relative to Kansas, which-sets forth that half the slave pop ulation of Missouri is in the counties whieh lor der on Kansas. It declares to be unfounded the prevalent idea that slavery is not a permanent institution in Missouri, anil avers that though 80meof the newspapers and citizens are in favor of emancipation, no respectable party can tel., mid in the state prepared to support it. Jt repre sent the repeal of the Compromise of 1820 as having been a necessity to preserve slavery iu Missouri, as she had free States lying on her Eas tern and Northern borders, and another free State on the West would have cut Missouri off from the slave States. It savs that the settlement of a free State west of Missouri would be indirect abolition of slavery in Missouri itself. It then eulogizes the principle of popular sovereignty, wlhich was the prominent feature in the Kansas bill, though at the same time it proceeds to show that the organized and hired emigration of anti sjaverv settlers was a subversion ot that princi , T, ,Mv7. mvrnnA: niui rWfpr r,f tl,w i "" "J " emigration are represented m lUe annexed pa sages from the address "Recruiting officers ycve stationed in places as noi .uoue io uc mogt uk, fumish the proper material ; pre pohcy so pregnant of offered for recruUsI. the public nfiml itic cause.

If thisippe should be realized! we trust it may not be too late to re pair the mischief done by Pierce in sending Reeder to the Territory ! Messrs." Clinoman and Vance, We believe that we have thus far omitted to allude to .the fact that Mr.. Clinmat, in a speech made some time since t Asheville, took occasion to abuse the editorspof the Spectator, accusing them of per petrating a5 "base calumny" upon him, ,.tTo this Mr. Vakc4 replied, and applied the following epithets to Mr. CUngiuan : "I feel no hesitation in branding theman who makes the charge a liar and a sf-ouwlrcl. Unlike the mean and con temptible demagogue who has received the suf frages of tle people of this district, I desire to maiiitain , Soine vestige of private character and truth,? and the fact that a blackguard is a plaqemau iii the nation, shall not protect him in his luw-fluijky assaults upon private, citizens." r Mr. Clingnlrin will find that, although it may; I e very con veiient to abuse editors, it may not prove "very healthv." . UyNATnjtALizi:i Voters. Large numbers of foreigners annually vote, without having been naturalized. An instance of the kind has just been developed' 'in Philadelphia. Mr. William Moran, in addressing an American meeting on Tuesday evening, said : "He had been on the United States Grand Jury, of which the Hon. Thomas B. Florence was the forenran, and, although sworn on that jury, yet lie thought himself, now that he had left it, at perfect liberty to speak of what had transpired there.' Out of the persons who were charged with enlisting parties for the foreign army, three of them had stated, under oath, thai they had voted the Democratic ticket before they had been in this country onel year. He (the speaker) had asked them the questions, and the above was the result of the answers made by them." This is doubtless often done. Foreigners help to swell Democratic majorities and the Demo crats sustain the foreigners in their illegal acts and impudent assumptions. It was such abuses as this whieh created the necessity for the Ameri can organization, and which have given that par ty the active sympathy of all right-thinking and patriotic natives of the country. The Polict of the Allies. Alluding to the fall of Sevastopol, the London World contends that in orde to complete the triumph, the Ruf sian army must be absolutely crushed in the field, and every source of supply, whether from the North or the. East, completely cut off. The edi t r asks, what is to prevent the allies from landing with from fifty to sixty thousand men in, Eupatoria aud commencing from that basis a new series of operations ? The Russians would, in the end. le eonipelled to general battle, aud be driven into that l;irren stepp? of ninety miles between Simpherupol and Perekop, where his defeated and lisphited army, encumWred with its wounded, without water, without the means of transport aud w ithout shelter, would perish by thousands of starvation and fatigue. Easier said than done ! The Board of Directors of the Western and North Carolina Railroad Company convened in Salisbury on Thursday. Mayor Braxton Braoo, V. S. A., and family, are at present in this city. ' HON. JOHN KERR, This distinguished gentleman, at a barBecue given by the Democrats of Granville, as a com pliment to "Mr, Branch and. himself, declared himselt now a member ot the Democratic party From runiors which have frequently come to us, wo coniess that this act on the part of Mr Kerr nas uot altogether taken us by surprise Though of", late differing with us with regard to the American party, we had hoped that those principles which he held in common, principles which he liad so long and so ably advocated, would never be deserted by him, and especially for the purpose of affiliatiug with a party between which and himself so little good feeling has here tofore existed. When, during the late canvass, he declared in his letter, published i the Fay ctteville ObserVerj that 'he was now as ever a Whig," thaV 'he still cherished Whig principles,' we did notjexpect so soon to hear of his saying that "the only hope of the Union now rested f with the National 'Democrats, and that he did not hesitate to declare himself now a member of that party," As personal, and heretofore political friends of Mr. Kerr, we regret deeply that he has adopted a course which must be very disastrous to his fame. - We think he has selected an unfor tuuate.time ta declaro his adhesion to the Demo cratic party. We cannot perceive any change that has taken plaqe iu the relations of the two parties sirie-e the 1st of August,, that can justify his courseand the inference forces itself upon the mind that his dissatisfaction with the "Whig party is the consequence of his defeat in the e lection ; . . , Some of "our cotemporaries are placing in jux taposition the violent abuse which the Standard heaped upon Mr. Kerr, a few years ago, and the fulsome eulogies with which it now extols him. But it give us.no pleasure to add to the hwiilia tion of Mr! Kerr, and we only hone that his fu ture intercourse with his new" friends will be more pleasant than his past Wlsboro' Recorder, Heroic r Struggle with a Bear. A large black beat? was killed by an Indian on the 14th instant, near the 'source of the Castor river. -The animal weighed upwards of 700 lbs. A desper ate struggle, not unusual, however, m such cases, took place between this enormous annual and the Indian who killed him. Being but wounded by the shot, he closed upon the Indian, who, in the desperate struggle, managed to plunge his knife . i 1 ' 1 l V II. - lL TJ- liuu uic uci nvai i, iuuumxu iu orave iwuan nai one arm uroiveu at me ume. ai Anuoosti, where bea-s are perhaps more numerous than in any other? part of America, a single Indian or hunter will never shoot at a bear, as he is rarelv "killed" by khe first shot, and almost invariably at- l ' . 1 1 mi tacKs ins pursuer u ne is wounded. The escape of the Indian, m the present instance, will be re garded as a matter of, suprise by his race, who look upoft a struggle with a wounded bear as ut terly hopeless Toronto Coloiiist.

On Wednesday evening last a meeting took place at the Town Hall, in this City, for the pur pose of providing suitable, and sufficient accom modations for the visitors to the ensuing State Fair. A call for this meeting had been made for the previous day, but had resulted in a complete fail ure. ' . ' . . The attendance on this evening was as name -rous as usual on such occasions there being some fifty to sixty: persona present ; bat strange to say (and we say it" with regret) they were almost en tirely persons from the surrounding country, in attendance on the Superior Court, .now in session here, aud were doubtless attracted to the meeting by the announcenien! that Hons. A. W. Vena ble and IvO'B. Branch would address them.--Neither of these gentlemen, however, was pre sent; and at about half-past eight o'clock, Dr. Crudup, Chairman- of the Executive Committee of theState Agricultural Society, on behalf of that body, stated in a few forcible remarks the object of the meeting and what he deemed to be the duty of the citizens of Raleigh in that behalf iie, regretted to. $Jthe apparent apathy of those u-ujcus woose,mteKBi5 were-so deeply mvoivea m tne permanent location here ot the Annual State Fair. He thought that if no higher motive could incite them to action, the fact that the State rair added some thirty' to fifty thousand dollars per annum to the commerce of . Raleigh should alone do so. 1 hat was the lowest ground upon which the question could be put, and he thought it was a sufficiently important one to the hotel keepers and merchants of the City. It was no torious that the wants of visitors at the previous Fairs had not been adequate! v met. People com ing here did not require to be fed and lodged grat uitously ; but they did expect that their money would procure for them at least the necessaries of life. People will not go anywhere if these cannot be had. And the question is well and legitimately asked, why do not the people of Ralegh move in tins matter ? It appears incredible to people in all other parts of the State and of other States. that the tradesmen and owners of property in Raleigh should be so blind to their own inter ests even. The people of Wake County were deeplv interested in this matter, as were those of the neighboring counties also. The opinion was entertained abroad, and it was rapidly gaining ground, that something must lie done or the Fair must lie removed elsewhere. Thus narrowing the question to one of immediate, constant and in creasing pecuniary benefit, it was well worthy f the consideration of the citizens of Raleigh. Why the City ol Petersburg and those of other States than Virginia contributed largely to the support of their State Fairs, held in their vicini ty. This was not expected of Raleigh. Dr. Crudup knew she could not afford to do it ; but it was expected that she shouhWlo her duty, m doing the best she could to "provide such, oomforts as in her lay, for those who visit her State Fair. Dr. C. disclaimed all intention to be meddlesome or dictatorial in this matter, He simply desired to call attention to the subject on behalf of the executive Committee. He regretted the absence of the distinguished gentlemen who were expected to oe present, as they doubtless would have more fully impressed this matter upon the minds of their hearers. But as they were not present, and as he saw almost a total absence of those citizens mostly interested, he saw nothing left but to move an adjournment. P. F. Pescud, Esq., hoped that something would be done before they separated, and on his motion the meeting organized by the election of J. Bobbit, Esq,, as President, and of Mr. John S pel man, as Secretary. After the transaction of some preliminary bus iness, On motion, the Chair appointed the following gentlemen a Committee to consider what arrange ments can be made to acoommodate the great in flux of visitors to the State Fair, and the necess ary ways and means, and to report to an adjourn ed meeting, viz : Col. W. H. Tucker, Lynn Adams, Esq., Capt. J. Q. DeCarteret, Dr. Cooley and Tliad. McGee, Esq. On motion, the meeting adjourned till Satur day afternoon at 4 o'clock. J. BOBBIT, Chairman. Jso.

The St. Louis Keprblican of Thursday last has a despatch from JJnb.nque, which states that the river has risen tour reet , and is still rising. 1 he Republican says : " TJtzs will be good hews to our merchants and steam". roat men. Immense rains have fallen in that flirectioD, and it is probable that navigation will, -how be uninterrupted until it is closed by the ice." DETAILS OF THE FOREIGN ET$& tpe jau. er sEBASTorox.. - - The English journals generally regard the sue cess of the allies against Sebastool as complete enough for aU useful pnr$dseXfn "'. The Paris Defeats con tains-' the following notes, on the present occupation ef the allied army, from the penoTCoL St. Ange: - - -1 "It has been asked if Sebastdpol is tenable, so long as the Russians remain -masters- of all the forts on the inorth side, which lihe theSea in front of the town? Undoubtedly: it niay be ' held in spite of this. It is true that the- occupation of the north by the Russians prevents bur entering the roadstead and the port, .What need have we of them when we already possess an excellent har bor ? j Have not onr fleets already passed the win ter without incurring any danger in these waters? It has also been asked if tle allies wilf have t undertake, now or later, the seige of the forts on the north side ? There appears to be no absolute necessity for so doing. - " "The forts on the north side can neither pre vent our occupation of Sebastopol fcor can they thwart our operations in the interior rif 'he Cri mea", on account of their eccentric situation. We should not be surprised at their being blown np so soon as the Russian army W compelled to re treat from theiKighbortend of Sebasrtdpdt the present the allied army holds its strong posi tion until the occupation of the town shall have been properly arranged, and its chief defences tho-' roughly repaired. It does not appear to have any thing else to do at present. The Russian ar my, for its part, occupies the excellent position ff Mackenzie strongly entrenched and lined with redoubts like our own. The Russians will prob ably continue in observation before us within their strong positions until the allied army gives signs of some movement." LOSS OF THE RUSSIANS AT SWEABORO. A letter from an English merchant at Elsinore, who has received letters 'from Russian merchants at Heisingfors, states that the loss sustained by the Russians in the late bombardment of Swea borg is enormous. The three-deck and two-deck ships which were moored across the passages were so severely injured that they have since sunk. The tliird explosion which did so much, damage was a magazine of 80 tons of powder ; it killed 700 men, and destroyed in a great measure-the principal fortifications, and, in fact, scattered de struction in every direction, as it communicated to the shell magazines along the batteries. All the winter stores of provisions were com pletely destroj-ed, and, as we first supposed, every thing that could burn is hiost effectually consum ed. The Russians admit a loss of 2,500 men. Aid-de-camp General Bibikoff has been dismiss ed from the post of minister of the interior. PROJECTED CAMPAIGN ON THE DANUBE. The Vienna correspondent of the Independence speaks of a new and important diversion by the Western Powers on the lower Danube, and it is said that the co-operation of Austria has been de clared necessary for the complete success of the operation. It is said, however, that the expedi tion is actually decided, awl that GenrLetang is expected daily in Vienna. DEATH OF MRS. CHIEF JUSTICE TANEY, &C. Baltimore, Oct. 2. At Norfolk up to noon yesterday, tliree deaths had occurred from Yel low Fever. Mrs. Roger B. Taney and daughter died at Old Point on Sunday the latter of Yellow Fever. An American in Sebastopol. The Nashville (Tennessee) Gazette publishes a letter from Se-( bastopol, written by Dr. J. H, Morton, of Wil liamson county, who is prosecuting his profession in the service of the Czar in Sebastopol. We make some interesting extracts from the letter, which was written between tne 4th and 8th of July : I believe there is at least half as many killed in the city while off duty as there is at the bastions at the present time. During the time that thev are attempting to destroy a battery, of course more are killed at the bastions. All the fightine. save that which is done during an assault or sortie, is done from behind the bastions. You know some thing of the construction of a bastion, I suppose It is nothing more than an embankment of dirt with placescut through for cannon. The French have the same as we do, and in this particular we have no advantage over them : and then they have a decided advantage of us in their artillery, which will carry much further than ours; we have excellent artillery though.bnt it is very heavy. Another thing they have that does a great dea of execution the Miuie rifle. You have heard it spoken of in high terms, but its value as an ip strumeut of war has never been spoken of in terms too high. We lose a great many men from them, and these French know so well how to tak advan tage of every little rise in the ground to make a rifle pit : four o r five of them get iu here, and one shoots while the others load for him, and they do a vast deal of execution to our artillerymen. These pits are thick al round the city, . and you may shoot at them with a cannon, but with lit tle effect, for as as he fires he dips down in his hoLe, and v,ou see nothing more until you hear the crack of .his rifle again, and they are pretty sure to f man, and the balls, which are coni- cai " jd very heavy tor a gun, generally go tn".ough and through ; you never find them lodg- ed without thev nave strucK a Done, which is sure to be broken and shattered in every direc tion, rendering amputation necessary But Rus sia has the best soldiery in the world. They have no fear about them m this particular, 1 hey are ditlereut from the soklierv of all coun tries ; it is impossible to get up a panic in the Russian army ; they will stand with the stubborn ness of a mule and be shot down by thousands, md never think of runmng without thev are or dered to do so. They know nothing but to obey; you might order out a thousand of them against a million, and tell them to stand and fight; if they had an officer with them that would stand, I believe the last one might be shot down, and you would never see the least movement tow ards running.
