RUSSIA AND POLAND.

ST. PETEP.SI3I:I4OI, JAN. 30.
The Joumal de 131. Petersbourg of this morning
publishes a detailed account of the events which
have taken place in Poland.
While lamenting the Large participation of the
clergy in the revolt, the writer rejoices at the
abstinence of the majority of the students.
150 insurgents who were at Biabystock had
creased from Poland into the district of Bielsk.
General Manioukin had concentrated a detachment
at Biabystock. The railway station at Luppa, the
first in the kingdom, has been occupied by troops.
Flying columns have been sent to protect the
railway at Kowo and Wierbolor (?), and to dis-
lodge the insurgents from the environs of Brest
and Braby. Colonel Suckow attacked the rebels
yesterday in the woods of Plocki, Kostelnoi, Strou-
mianska, and Koury. The rebels were put to
flight, losing 38 prisoners, one a priest, the princi-
pal instigator of the movement in this district.
Warsaw is perfectly quiet. The bands of the
Thesiewis are beginning to disperse.
Many workmen have returned to their occupa-
tions. The conscription has been effected in the
provinces without hindrance.

ID 'ZI PROM PRESIDENT LINCOLN TO
OENSLILL M'CLELLAN.
The, following letter was read during the sit-
el the 11Torell cows of laquirn at Washington, on
101 h:
" WASHINGTON, Marc. 9, 1862.

" To mAJ(

My dear Your despatches eomplalniog that you are
not properly sustained, while they do not offend me pain
me very much. Blenker's division was withdrawn before
you left here, and you know the promos under which I did
it, ►nd, as I thought, acquiesced in it certainly not without
reluctance. After you left, I ascertained that leas than
20,000 men, without • field battery, were all you desired to
be left for the defence of Washington and /dimness
Junctioc, and part of this even was to go to Geo. Hooker's
old position. Gen. Banks' corps, once designed for Ma-
nassas Junction, was divided and tied up on the line of the
Winchester and Strasburg railroad, and could not leave it
without again exposing the Upper Potomac, and the Bal-
timore and Ohio railroad. This presented, or would pre-
sent when M`Dowell and Sumner should be gone, • great
temptation for the enemy to turn back from the Rapp*.
hemlock, and sack Washington. My explicit direc-
tions that Washington should, by the judgment of all the
commanders of corps, be left secure, had been entirely
neglected. It was precisely this that drove me to detain
M'llowelL Ido not forget that I was satisfied with your
arrangements to leave Banks at Manassas Junction. But
when that arrangement was broken up, and nothing was sub-
stituted for it, of course I was not satisfied. I was con-
strained to substitute something for it myself.
" And now, allow me to ask you, do you really think
I could permit the line from Richmond, viL Misname
Junction to this city, to be entirely open, except what re-
sistance could be presented by lees than 40,000 unorganised
troops! This is a question which the country will not
allow me to evade.

" There is a curious mystery about the number of troops
now with you. I telegraphed you on the 6th, saying that
you had over 100,000 with you. I bad just obtained from
the Secretary of War • statement, taken as he said from
your own returns, making 108,000 then with you and es'
route to you. You now say that you will have but 85,000
when all en route to you shall have reached you. How can
this diecrepaocy of 35,000 be accounted for? As to General
Wool's command, I understand that it is doing precisely what
• like number of your own would have to do if that
command was away. I suppose the whole force
which has gone forward to you is with you by this time,
and, if so, I think it is the precise time for you to strike a
blow. By delay the enemy will readily gain on you ; that
is, he will gain faster by fortifications and reinforcements
than you can by reinforcements alone.
"And once more let me tell you, it is indispens►ble to
you that you strike a blow. 1 am powerless to help. This
you will do me the justice to remember. I always cond.
dared 'going down the bay in search of a field, instead of
fighting at or near Manama, as only shifting and not sur-
mounting • difficulty ; that we would find the same enemy
and the same or equal entrenchment. at either place. The
country will not fail to note—is noting now—that the
present hesitation to move upon an intrenched enemy is but
i the story of Manassas repeated.
I beg to assure you that I have never written or spoken
to you in greater kindness of feeling than now, nor with a
fuller purpose to sustain you so far as in my moat anxious
judgment I consistently can. But you must act. Yours,
very truly, A. 'Ascots."

A telegram from Toronto, Canada, dated the
16th, states that great excitement exists in Enniskillen, in
consequence of the sudden stoppage of all the flowing oil
wells. Drilling to a greater depth is being resorted to, and
there are sanguine expectations of reaching another strata
of od.l

Messrs. Glass, Elliott, and Co., of London, had
proposed to the Federal government to girt the coast with
a telegraph wire from Fortress Monroe to New Orleans,
land to Galveston, if neoeseary. The joint committee, naval
and military, are said to be most favourably impressed with
the scheme as developed. &metezy Stanton has written •
letter to the military committee recommending the project.
THE SUEZ CANAL AND THE LATE VICEROY OF
EOTFT.—The death of Said Pasha ia likely to bring the
question of the Sues Oanal once more prominently before
the public. As is wall known, his highness had suffered
himself to be inveigled into subscribing for M. Lessem'
shares to the enormous sum of 3,500,000/., or nearly one
half of the whole capital of the company. Of this sum
only about 600,0001. has, we believe, been paid up—and
this only in treasury bonds. The question then at once
raised is, who is to pay up the remainder': We learn from •
source likely to be wall informed that the shares
thus to be covered were subscribed for by the late
prince in his private and not in his viceregal character—in
other words, that it was the individual paella, and not the
government of Egypt, whose credit was thus pledged to M.
Lamps ►nd his co-partners in the great bubble scheme. As
the government, however, is a vastly better stake in every
way than the boy-heir and executors of its late chief, it is
sot risking much to foretell that the diplomatic projector
will seek to shift the rsapossibility for the unpaid " calls"
from the dead paths and his reprmeotatives to the broader
Amid. at the stow, and that French jurists, at all
e►ents, will be ready enough to pronouoce his reading of
the contract very good law.—Loom Herald, Jas. 21.
