LONDON, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 20, 1855.

Some parties in the United States seem desirous
of pushing the electioneering trick of Mr. CALEB
CUSHING to the utmost extent by stimulating the
passions of the People against those springing
from the same stock, speaking the same language,
and professing a like devotion to free institutions
with themselves. We do not wonder, for there
are always persons ready and willing to follow in
any beaten track, however dirty—to strive to
rival any mendacity, however flagrant—who
seek to attract notoriety in any shape, however
unenviable.

The most recent example of the class is a cer-
tain Doctor DAVEGA, who has, or professes to have,
been engaged in the Russian service at Sebastopol,
in the capacity of surgeon on the medical staff,
which he left at the rather critical period when
the Russians had, according to this veracious
authority, acquired the great advantage (I)—risum
teneatis amici—of abandoning the south side of
the beleaguered city to its assailants. It was rather
a suspicious time for the valiant Doctor to desert
the banner under
which he bad voluntarily en-
rolled himself, or to find " urgent private affairs"
to call him back to his trans-Atlantic domicile,
We shall do our American brethren the justice to
say that they seldom permit such matters to in-
terfere with a fired resolution, or impede duties
in which they had deliberately eugaw(red. With
them there are " nulla vestigia retrorsum
" so long
as there is the slightest prospect of ultimate
success. Tho case must be hopeless indeed when
they would withdraw from the cause which they
bad undertaken. It is, therefore, scarcely pro-
bable that the soi-disant Doctor DAVEGA is a
genuine American.' His name indicates that he
has not by the father's side, at all events, any of
the true. Anglo-Saxon blood. Ile seems to be
rather one of those mongrel half-breeds that are
regarded with such unmitigated contempt through-
out the emir© Union, and whose qualities of
honesty and veracity are so very
slightly de-
