The European War.

SEBAsToPoL has fallen, and so have thirty
thousand men, not to mention women and
children; ships have been sunk, houses burnt,
churches demolished, homes desolated, and
haryests laid waste, and-What for for what
goods To punish Nicholas Romanoff for his
ambition; and to make French and British
holiday. The taking of Sebastopol was no
child's play. 1t was work for stern, brave,
indomitable men. The Allies were amply
equal to the task. British energy and stub
born valor were more than match for the
embattled walls of Sebastopol, one thousand
cannon, and fifty thousand Russians. The
sons Of the men who stormed the heights of
Talevera and scaled the walls of Badajos, in
the faces of gallant Frenchmen, were not to
be beat by the Russians, when the sons of
those Frenchmen were at their sides to con-
tend with them for the need of honor and of
valor. They were determined to conquer or
die, and Sebastopol is taken.
We have no reason to be ashamed of the old
stock from which we have sprung; but after
we have said all that we can in commen9a-
ton of the courage and achievements of the
soldiers, what good 10 European liberty will
the taking of Sebastopol do: Old Caspar's
answer to little Peterkin covers the whole ar
gument. 81 do not know" said he, "but
twas famous victory''
five could have seen Pesth and Warsaw
rise from the smoke and ashes of Sebastopol,
as the representatives of the independent, free
Hungarian and Polish nations, we might have
felt less regret for this awful destruction of hu-
man life. One result of this victory will be
the consolidation of the power of Louis Ma
poleon in France 1t will invest his reign
with some "glory." Another result may be
the strangulation of Gar Nicholas, by his no.
bles, and the establishment Of peace. If he
had been in Sebastopol when it was stormed,
he probably would have lost his stomach for
fighting by this time.
