net and other appointments had created ex-
tensive dissatisfaction IN the South, which
the force Of party was not altogether equal to
suppress. We shall be much mistaken if a
storm of Indignation does not break upon the
devoted heads of the administration inmedi-
ately upon the assembling Of Congress. Ii
we could not forsee where the member from
this District would be in any particular POI
litical juncture--cvcn in support of an adj
ministration, 50 long as it is worth sticking
to, that has fulfilled in its history, what he
prophecied Of the Wing candidate for the
Presidency, and for which therefore he de-
serted the Wing party, I'VE have his express
endorsement of the Presidents policy as to
appointments. This be made known before
the Guthrie letter-whch was but re-enact-
ment Of that policy. Whether he will stand
his ground as the Republican has done, the
District has an interest in noting.

sHoEING HORSES.


The following are the regulations Of the
British army upon this subject. They were
prepared by mixed commission of officers
and eminent and experienced professional men
and have recently been issued 81. The shoe

ATTESTATION OLE WILLS.

1t has frequently occurred TO us as i'm
portaut that the newspapers should publish
the provision of the new Code in reference to
the execution of Wills. Many Wills it is
thought are invalid. and the title to property
by them therefore unsound, because witnesses
to its execution have not observed the ro.
qusites of the late enactment; that proyis.
ion is as follows:-
Chapter l22. section A. No Will shall be
valid unless it he in writing and signed by
the testator, or by some other person, in his
presence and By his direction, ia such man.
ner as to make it manifest that the name
was intended as signature and moreover
unless it be wholly written by the testator
the signature shall be made or the VIII ae.
knowledged by him in the presence Of at least
t'oo competent witnesses at the same time &
such witnesses shall subscribe the WIN in
me presence OF the testator but no form of
attestation shall be necessary"

LATEST FROM EUROPE.

by the latest arrival from Europe VIC learn
that Russia has formally declared war against
Turkey and that hostiities have commenced
in earnest. The Turks and Russians have
had several skirmishes, in which the former
appears to have come off victorious, with heavy
losses to the latter. Accounts from Vienna
state that the Turks had an engagement with
the Russians in which fourteen superior Rus
sian officers fell, the Turks remaining masters
OF the field and the Russians retreatinp To
Bucharest. Four Russian officers arrived at
Constantinople as prisoners of war. Accounts
from Constantinople state that the Sultan had
positively rejected all proposals which the d.
plomatists have submitted to him. 1t is ru.
morcd that the Gar has formed an alliance
with Dost Mahomet, o. Persia, to proclaim
war against British India if Great Britain
persists in supporting Turkey. Austria re.
mains neutral, but keeps a strict watch owe,
the movements Of Seryia. The Seryian GOV.
crnment 10 the meantime has ordered the Don.
ulation to arm, and has informed the Porte
that neither Austria nor Russia will be DER.
mitted to occupy Servia. The Porte has de.
clded that foreign refugees shall not be EN-.
pioyed in Europe, but may serve in Asia.

REVIEW or THE GRAIN TRADE.

Though opinion is in favor Of further rise,
the advance already established in quite suf-
ficient to induce those who bought early to
realise their profits. whilst buyersfor consump-
ton are led to operate with more than usual
caution, and speculative purchases have near
" ceased altogether The feeling being for
the moment decidedly against further invest
ment, it is not improbable that the upward
movement may receive check; but there is
nothing in the position of affairs to warrant
the belief that we shall have permanently
lower range Of prices; indeed, the chances are
the other way, as the foreign arrivals, which
have thus far been very liberal, are now begin
ming to fail of, and are likely to be small for
some months TO come
Withthe exception Of some quantity from
Dantzic and good supply from St. Peters
burg, tAere is at present little on passage from
the Baltic; and stocks having been reduced
into anarrow compass in that quarter, no
further Shipments Of Importance can be ex-
pected to be made until the spring of next
year The position of affairs in the East
threatens meanwhile to interfere greatly with
the export trade from the Black sea indeed
the scarcity Of vessels, and the exorbitant
rates current for freight, would, even il polit-
cal matters were arranged, render it difficult
to obtain efficient aid from that quarter.
The sources from whence this country may
expect to draw supplies are consequently mar
rowed, and it by no means improbable that.

able difficulty may be experienced in securing
a sufficient quantity Of wheat abroad to cover
the enormous deficiency in the produce Of our
own crops. The weather has Undergone de-
cided Improvements since our last, and field
labor, which had been brought to stand by
the wet, have been actively resumed !; still,
the season is now SO far advanced that the
sowing Of wheat can scarcely be accomplished
within the usual period. The deliveries of
wheat from the growers have not increased,
and the quantity brought forward at Mark
lane from the neighboring has been trifing.

mrRAcuLous ESCAPE.

A few nights ago, the express train from
Buffalo for Cleveland. With four hundred pas
sengers while going at the rate Of forty miles
an hour, came 10 collision with tree which
had been blown across the track. The crash
was awful The tree two feet in diameter,
was broken 10 three pieces, and sbivered as
if struck by a thunderbolt. The locomotive
was smashed to pieces and destroyed. 1t
turned over and over three times. The boil
er was broken, letting the steam and scald-
ing water out. to add to the alarm and dan
ger. The tender and two baggage cars we're
hurled upon the fragments Of the locomotive,
and smashed into one common wreck. The
first three passenger cars, filed with people,
were dashed upon the ruins Of the baggage
cars and engine. They were badly broken,
and turned bottom side up. The screams,
yells, aud shouts, that filed the night air,
after the accident. it is stated, were horrible.
The men behaved with less GOODNESS and
presence Of mind in many cases. than the
women But, what is truly wonderful, after
the excitement was over, it was ascertained
that not single passenger was killed. or bad
q limb broken. All. however. were more or
less bruised and scratched.

THE TEMPLE OF FANCY.

NTERE 1t not that the Temple Of Fancy had
w become favored name, I would be
tempted to fall in with the common order Of the
age-"Change and reform''--and call it the crys-
tai Palace; but shall for the present argue that
change in name at least is not reform, and with
out further remarks announce to my friends and
the community in general, that the Tempe is
open and ready for exhibition. visited II wish
you all to know the Crystal Palace before pur-
chasing my Fancy Goods, and consequently had
the advantage accruing from having beheld the
BEAUTIFUL or WORLD on exhibition, and as far as
my pile would allow me, assure you, have
drawn largely from it in my selections for the
Templc-and am persuaded my friends will DO
amply repaid BY visit no sdmittance fec exact

yourselves most respectfully invited to call, and
