The News of the Day is the intelligence—coming
to us via Constantinople—of the Russian reverses
in Daghestan. It would be the very extreme of
disingenuousness, on our part, to affect, for one
single moment, to do otherwise than actually exult
over the account of this apparently signal failure
of the Muscovite expedition under BARIATINSKI—
the haughty and insolent expedition of the troops of
the CZAR against Daghestan. Our sympathies are
so directly antagonistic to the cause expressed by
that great marauding expedition, they so entirely
harmonise with the patriotic ardour animating those
unfortunate races bordering the south-eastern extre-
mities of E arope—those truly unhappy peoples who
are there, turn by turn, trampled under the iron heel
of the Russian Autocracy, that it would be absurd,
and almost criminal, to " assume " what we cer-
tainly "have not "—(not "the virtue," but)—the
vice of sympathy of any kind, direct or indirect, of
any good will or good wishes for the success of the
Cossack hordes under BARIATINSKI.

The tidings of these Russian disasters upon the
borders of the Caspian cannot but thrill even, in
the midst of the enervation of exile, to the heart's
core of the daring Imaum SCIIAMYL, the grim old
lion of the Caucasus. The electric shock of those
tidings will pass with lightning velocity, from tribe
to tribe, through all those insulated and down-
trodden nationalities lying between the two great
inland seas, the Caspian and the Euxine. From this
north western side of the Sea of Azov it will fly
from Taurida to Astrakan. Through all that wild
country of the Caucasus it will jar like a nerve
touched by galvanism—from the barren wastes
p_ eopled by the Don Cossacks down to the fair and
beautiful regions of Georgia. And throughout all
throughout all western Europe at the very
least, the
news that Russia has met with these re-
verses will be echoed more or less gladly, will
be
welcomed here with occult, there
with overt
exultation. Of all the different
provinces or divisions of that great Caucasian
region, Dagh„,a,_
s‘u,the scene of those reverses which
have been recently
endured by the forces of the
Russian Autocrat, are the farthest removed from
115. They are the farthest removed from us in
knowledge as well as in
eireasge?graphical situation.
They lie far beyond
41u—beyond Georgia.
They lie far beyond Bolshay% and
lasi,
beyond
Abkhas and Mingril, beysnd
beyond even
the easternmost borders of Tchetchen. The actual
seat of war there, the country of
—aguestan, in
which BARIATINSKI has met with these sharp
re-
verses, seemingly to the total discomfiture of his
expedition, extends, as we have before intiraatea,
along the western margin of the Caspian—from the
river Terek on the north, downwards to Tabasseran.
It is there that these "great losses" mentioned in
the telegram have been suffered by the Muscovites.
A little while longer and we shall have the parti-
culars of what has there occurred—we shall know
the precise nature and the exact extent of the
reverses endured by BARIATINSKI. All that we
know now in regard to them is the simple fact that
there have been those reverses, and that those

reverses have in their extent and character been

really severe.

The importance of a check like this lies, however,
not so much in itself as in its influence upon the
surrounding provinces of the Russian Empire. It
is the example that Daghestfm cannot but give to
