THE WAN NEws-OpINIoNs OF THE Pass.
The Philadelphia Bulletin thinks "there
never was such a succession of contradictions
as is brought by each of the Liverpool steam
ers. Our summary of the news by the Pacific
contains a reversal of nearly every important
fact that came by the Niagara. Then the
British were about attacking Cronstadt-now
they have abandoned it; then the Austrians
were marching into the Principalties-now
they are marching out of them; then the Rus
slams were abandoning the Principalities-
now they seem to be rcoccupying them. The
public must reconcile these conflicting state
ments to their own satisfaction; they certainly
surpass all the comprehension Of the most
asiute and oracular of editors"
The Charleston Mercury has "long been
convinced that the accounts of the war trans
mitted through the British press were design
ed for very different purpose than dissent
mating truth. The allies have been Dragging
and clustering, to keep up their own courage,
and they have circulated million of vile sto-
res about the Car, in the hope Of degrading
him, his government, and his country, in the
eyes of neutral nations"

SPAIS.-Old Spain is following the exam

have even better cause to rise in rebellion

IMPORTANT RUSSIAN MovEMESr.-The
Paris correspondent of the New York I'ri-
bune says:
"a gentleman, formerly resident in tho
United States, late Consciler dc COur of the
Emperor of Russia, has left his position near
the person OF the Grand Duke Constantine,
to go to Washington temporarily us u spe.
cial messenger to the United States Govern
ment. ... ........f ..
"The strong sympathy, amounting even to
love, which the Court Of Russia manifests
toward the United States, at this moment,
opens the way for negotiations with that pow
er, on matters disconnected with the war,
which may never occur again. Russia de-
American money, and SO strong hatred has
lately sprung up against England, that she
will sacrifice much OF her personal interests
to irritate that power, and to cripple her on
American soil.
"There is without doubt, therefore n prop
osition on its way to Washington, having in
view the cession of important territory to tho
United States for money consideration, rs
well rs propositions for the promotion and
extension of commercial relations between
the Two countries. Russia Is making prepar-
atoms for II ten years war, on scale Of mag
nitude which must more or less cripple her
finances, notwithstanding her extraordinary
resources, and money friend such MS Amer
lea will be almost indispensable to her. The
crisis through which she will have to pass,
will compel her TO make any sacrifice almost,
which may be demanded to secure such
friend; and if she can by cceding territory
secure sympathy and money, and AT the same
time thrust thorn into the side Of England,
she will readily do it,"
The agent of RUSSIA, who is said to be m
American citizen, was to sail from Hayre in
the steamer of the 18th. If we are to Judge
from the statements Of the Tribune's corre-
spondent, he will give the people Of this
country some new views Of the Car, his
government, and the history of the present

EW The Nashville Wing INDUCES in n
little humor at the expense of the recently
panic-stricken people of Loudon and vicinity.
The truth is, the towns and villages in East
Tennessee arc so generally healthy, and it is
so seldom that any one dies, except with OLD
age-the natural wearing out of The machine
that when any thing like sickness exists in
this section, and u few deaths do occur, the
people are little more excusable for alarm
than those of less highly favored localities
and regions, who continually dwell in
the midst Of pestence and death.

saay An attempt was recently made at La
Sale to arrest two fugitive slaves who were
escaping on Il steamboat from St. Louis. The
mob interlered. Several pistols were fired,
blows exchanged, and brickbats brought into

to the ground by stone, but no one was
seriously injured. The fugitives were trium-
phantly rescued, entertained at the Hardy
House, and the next morning left en- route for

A DEPRECIATION.-The New York Express
says that the depreciation in the value of
stock property in that mart alone, within the
last twelve months cannot he less than
SlG0,Oj0,00O. The sufferers are those who
have not been able to hold on. Many of the
best stocks on the list are now far below par,
but capitalists and spectators still refuse to
buy, under a hope or belief that they will go
yet lower. The moment that the tide turns
there will be rush, and the ascent will be
gradual and steady.

that poor folks may be enabled TO extract n
little temporary comfort in this hot weather
from the reflection that they will be cool
enough next winter. Coal sells now in New

say it will be higher. Therefore, the INDECENT

death by and by, and be reconciled 10 present

We cannot see any necessity for the Athens
Post to attempt by inSinuation to- create the
impression that there has been Cholera at
Chattanooga. The cases on the Steamer

and in the second were not carried from
Chattanooga. This fact is well known, and

to see the business of our place injured by

Come now, Mr. Parham--the Athens Post
has not attempted, by insinuation or other
wise, to create the impression that there was
cholera at Chattanooga. On the contrary, we
have been trying our "cye BEST" for the
last three weeks, to write away the impress
sion, foolishly made, that cholera existed any

were likely to prove unavailing MS long rs n

reputation as the Gazette possesses, was Civ.
ing currency to such paragraphs MS the one

to call your attention to tho very important
fact that "some things can be done just about

for editors occupying your rather suspicious
locality, was to ale low and Keep dark"

THE WAR.-So far rs England and France
are concerned the Eastern war is 4 perfect
humbug. Not blow has either yet struck
against the powerful foe whose ambition and
pride they started out to humble and re-
strain, and up to last advices the only fruits
oftheir interference in the business has been
m embarrassment of the able commander
of the Turkish army in all his operations
and movements against the enemy. If the
allied powers continue their tardy policy, the
world will begin to believe that they are
purposely prolonging the conflict, knowing
that Turkey must be eventually overwhelm-
ed with the enormous expenses, and ready to
be pnrcelled out among her pretended friends
Whatever the object of the prolongation, it is
evident unless tho allies do something sud
denly they will be poweress for efficient ac-
ton until next spring, as the soldiers from
the sunny plains of France and the temperate
atmosphere of England, will cut but sorry
figure mid the frosts and SHOWS of a Rus
sian winter. The Lily of France once before
withered and went down under the fierce
Northern blasts, and the Banner of st. George
would meet with tho same fate. The next
arrival, perhaps, will furniph some indications
of the intentions of the Western Powers.
