THE EARrH's AGE.-According to a majority
of chronologers, the earth was created 1904
years before the birth of Christ, and would now
be 1858 years old; but doubtless the best au-
thority dates the creation 5,50s years before
Christ, which would extend the earth's age to
1852 years. Almost all agree that some day of
the present month (September) is the anniver-
sary of the creation. Julius Africanus says the
first day OF September, and our Hebrew friends
always celebrate the 10th as the natal day of
the world. Efforts have been made in every
age of the world to bring its existence to
period, but the indications yet favor q conf
dence in prosperous career for some time to
come.

In our local columns on Thursday last an
peared paragraph in relation to the stabbing
of a German in Claiborne street. The gentle-
man who stands accused Of the offense called
upon US yesterday and stated that the version
of the affair in the Crescent, and in most of the
other city papers, was incorrect, and that the
German had not only given the first provoca-
lion but the first blow. We will endeayor to do
justice to the parties when tho matter comes up
for examination.

MENscHIKoFFs REPoRT.--Prince Menschikoff
gives an account of the battle Of the Alma very
different from the reports Of the French and
English commanders, He says that the Rus
slams repealed for some hours the attack of a
very superior fierce, and retired in the evening
behind the Katcha, where they established, the
next day, their camp in front of Sebastopol !;
that the Prince, after having taken all his de-
fensiye measures. would contine himself to dri-
wing back the enemy should he be attacked
again; that he has carried out his plans for the
campaign, and finally that the Russians lost
but one thousand killed and wounded, while
the Allies must have sustained q much greater
loss in consequence of being the assailants, and
Of having attacked the Russian batteries.
The reports differ in almost every thing
plans, battles, results and purposes. The AL
lied Generals report, it is true, much larger
number-from three to four thousand-of killed
and wounded on their side, but at the same time
they set down the Russian loss at six thousand.
1t is no doubt much more than Menschikof ad-
nits, but it is probably not as great is stated
by his antagonists. And this will be the case
during the whole war; no reliability in the
reports Of battles and their results, and nothing
of any great Importance that may reach us
until it has been confirmed again and again.

The New York Tribune says that Russia can
still concentrate an army of three hundred
thousand men at given point, and adds:
Sand there are people who believe that Mich
olas will sue fos peace if Sebastopol be taken
Why Russia has not played one third of her
trumps yet, and the momentary loss of Sebas-
topol and Of the feet Is hardly felt at all by the
giant to whom sabastopol and the fleet were but
q plaything. Russia knows full well that her
decisive action does not lie along the sea shores
or within reach of debarking troops; but on
the contrary, on the broad interior Of the con-
tinent, where massive armies can be brought to
act concentrated on one spot, without frittering
away their forces in fruitless coast defence
against evanescent enemies. Russia may lose
the Crimea. the Caucasus, Finland, st. Peters
burg and all such appendages; but as long as
her body, with Moscow for its heart, and forti-
fed Poland for its sword arm, is untouched, she
need not give in an iota.' -
