OBITUARY.-At his residence, West
Rushyille, Fairfield county, Ohio, Cd
February, at the advanced age ofeighty-
four years, died William Wiseman.-
Deceased was native of Maryland
At the early age of IS, and in February
1871, he was one of the small detach-
ment of thirteen soldiers, and subal-
tern officer, that garrisoned Dunlap's
station in Hamilton county, when it
was attacked, and fercely beleaguered
by over 500 Indians. 1t was an act of
daring bravery at which older soldiers
in the stockade shrunk back in fear, for
him to leave the fort and cross the Mi
ami river, alone, pursued by the balls of
perhaps the whole besieging force, and
make his way to Fort Washington, Gin
clnnatl, to give the alarm, and bring re-
lief to the siege. He was present also
and participated in the disastrous defeat
of st. Clair, and also at the victories of
Wayne, at tie Maumee Rapids and FaI-
len Fimbers, ever distinguished for
bravery and fearless daring, and enioyed
the respect and confidence of his com,
manding officers. Nearly sixty wears
ago, he settled on the farm where he died.

CRUSHING ARGUMENT AGAINST THE
PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-The Philadelphia
Ledger recently brought to light diff
Guilty hitherto unthought of, connected
with travelling, or any attempt to travel,
by railroad, across the vast plains and
mountains intervening between US and
the Pacific Ocean. 1t is known that
immense herds of bufalos range over
the regions to be traversed by the pro-
jected road. The fact that these ami
mails are very short sighted both in
physical and intellectual vision, and that
when alarmed or enraged they rush to-
gether with tremendous force, and bear
down all obstruction in their course, sat
isfies the Ledger that the idea of travel
ing safely through their domain by rail-
road cars would be a terrible mistake.
The St. Louis Herald takes off well the
profound deduction of the Ledger, and
to show the ease with which mob of
exasperated buffalo bulls could over
turn a railway train and scatter it in
twinkling, he gives the following math-
ematical calculation:
ga bull buffalo will weigh 1000
pounds, and will rush on a train at the
rate of Is feet a second. Supposlng a
car to be fifty feet long, and the assault
upon it to be made at right angles,
about Is buffalos would reach it at the
same instant. Fifteen buffalos would
weigh $4,000 pounds, Now, as the
of a moving body is COM
pounded of its weight and velocity null
tiplied together, 5000 pounds of buff
falo beef coming down'at the rate of Is
feet second would bring on the car at
the moment of collision, more than
$4,000 pounds. As the car would
weigh probably not more than 5000
pounds, here would be four hundred and |
sixty-fve thousand pounds against six
thousand; giving odds against the car of
more than seventy seven times and a
half. This is truly fearful.-Who need
be told that no car could live in such a
storm as this? What imagination is so
dull that it cannot see the terrific visions
Of broken heads, fractured limbs and
bodies; the moan the groan
The scream and the shrek; the woful |
spectacle of men past surgery, and of
men whom surgery will leave manned
and members of the commonwealth dur
ing the wretched remnant of their DAYS. |
This Buffalo bull objection now set
Ties the matter. Opposition from these
head-strong creatures would be still
more ugly than an Erie riot.

THE CIRcAssIAN CAvALRY.-The fol-
lowing is description, by Prussian of
fcer, of the Circassian cavalry, who are
about to take part in the coming con-
fiict He says:
The Circassian cavalry wear point
ed steel helmet with long horse-tail
pendant from it. A net of steel work
hangs down from the lower part of the
helmet, protects the front and nape of
the neck, and is looped together under
the chin, underneath short, red vest,
cut in the Polish fashion. He is clad
in a species of coat of mail, consisting
of small bright rings of steel interven-
ed. His arms from the wrist to the ell
bow, and his legs from the foot of the
shin-bone to the knee, are guarded by
thin plates of steel. He also wears
close pantaloons and laced boots. Two
long Turkish pistols, as well as a poig-
nard, are stuck in his girdle. He has
aleather strap with a moose, like Mexi-
can lasso, hanging at his side, which he
throws with great dexterity over the
head of his enemy. A Turkish sabre
and long Turkish musket are slung be-
hind his back, and two hold
ers across his breast.
The skill with which the Circassians
use their weapons is really beyond be-
lief. 1 have seen them repeatedly fire
at piece of card lying on the ground,
at full speed, without ever missing
They will pick up a piece of money
from the ground, while executing a
charge, by bending themselves round
below the horses belly, and, after seiz-
ing the piece, suddenly throw them
selves back into the saddle. They form
the choicest body of cavalry in the
Turkish service, and l have watched
them, when charging, attack their op-
ponents with sabre in each hand, man
aging the reins with ther mouth. They
will spring out of their saddles take
aim and fire from behind their horses.
then jump into their saddles again.
wheel round and reload their gun as
they retreat in full career. They are
perfect madmen in the attack, and few
troops could Withstand the utter reck-
lessness of danger they evince.

ARSENIC EATERs-The Styriau peasants, SAYS
Professor Johnston, eat arsenic as the Chinese
eat opium. They eat it for two specific purpo
ses-to acquire plumpness and freshness of
complexion, ,andto improve their wind, so as to
enable them to climb long steep mountains
without difficulty of breathing. And strange
to hea-, these specific purposes are attained
The young poison eaters are remarkable for
blooming complexions, and full, rounded, heal
thy appearances. The peasant. after dissoI-
wing a slight particle of arsenic in his mouth
ascends heights with facility which he eonld
not otherwise do without the greatest difficulty
of breathing.

GENERAL INTELIIGENcE.-We have
but little additional war news by this
arrival.
The conduct of the Gear is still eva
sive. He does not regard the entry of
the allied fleets into the Black Sea as a
declaration of War, and he is not ex-
pected to send a reply to the Vienna
note until the middle of February. He
has, however, appointed Orlof to visit
the courts of Vienna, Berlin, Paris and
London, to explain on what terms he
will really treat, but it is thought by all
his object is to gain time. A quiet tone,
however, is observed in all the Russian
organs, but on the Danube there are no
manifestations of peaceful character,
and extensive preparations were making
by the Russians to attack Kalafat,
though they admit it will cost them ten
thousand men.
Nothing definite from the Gar yet.
The steamer Petral, formerly of the
line between New York and Bermuda,
was burnt on the Clyde on the 26th ult.
Omar Pasha continues to fall upon
the Russians wherever an opportunity
occurs, his object being to put it out of
their power to fight. There had been
several skirmishes, but none of impor-
tance.
From Asia it was reported that the
Russians had taken the city of Kara,
but Russian bulletin says all the troops
are in winter quarters.
At the last accounts from the COM
bined fleets part of them were at Sinope,
and part near Bateoun, but all were
about to sail for Vienna. The Russian
squadron was off the sea of Az if.
Servia is much agitated by the in
trigues of the Russian Consul General
at Belgrade.
A Vienna dispatch, received Saturday
morning at Liverpool, just as the steam
er was about to sail, hints that good
news has reached the Austrian govern
ment from st. Petersburg.
The Shah of Persia has definitely
promised to act peaceably towards Tur-
key. aS -s.itt
The Austrian governmenthad ordered
10000 troops, in great haste, to Hun
gary, for what purpose it is not stated.
There is no news of importance from
France or England.
The British feet in the Tagus has
been ordered to sea.
The Brazilian mail steamer Olinda
was ashore near Holyhead.
