Execution Of a Russian Sps.

a horrible execution oil !, Rdssl:sl
spy recently took place at Schumla
which reflects no credit on 0mar Pas
!, ha. The revolving scene is thus de
scribed:
+ He was conducted by large body
of military from one end of Schuml;
to the other. Ishmael Pasha, witt
a large staff, led the way. At a con-
siderable distance came band0 Of
drummers and musicians, playing
tunes more suited to tridmphal E
vent than to the ltragical affair tha t
was soon to- take place. Behind
them came some files q soldiers, then
the condemned man, walking, IN the
dress Of Bulgarian peasant, his two
arms tied with ropes, and held by sew
eral kayasses Nao followed him.
The criminal Was led out to a spot in
view of all present. Ishmael pilsha
and his flag alighted. The prepara-
tons for the poor fellows execution
were very soon finished : nothing, in
fact, having been done excepting the
binding of the mans eyes, and the ty-
ing ef his hands considerably tighter.
The Pasha gave the signal to nine
soldiers, who were placed at % yards
from the condemned man, to fire
Three fred firsi, but only one oftheir
shots took effect. It made him stag
ger and fall. Another three then
fred, with But little more effect; af-
fer which the remaining three dis
their muskets at him. -Four
balls in all seemed tot>uve struck him;
but, as he was not dead, three other i
soldiers we're ordered to fall out Of
their ranks, and to fire upon him =
After they had done so several men
vent up 10 the unkilled man and
stuck their bayonets into bis skull. t
lie groaned so heavily that the |
;rowd heard him. The want of pre-
;ision with which the men fired, and
he hardness they showed in doing
heir work, were very reprehersiblc, S
md gave much pain TO the foreign Q
'lficers who had seen military execu a
ions in other countries; but the fin =

several Turkish officers went up to .

lood from their sides. During the

This Is a time when to man not
actually at the point Of starvation
should be without a newspaper. The
times are momentous. All should
know and understand the mighty
events that are going on around them
far and near. Anagitation is spring
ing up in our own county that
threatens TO surpass all the6th her agi-
tations that have ever shaken and
convulsed this Union.
A doz en- questions are pending
between foreign governments and
ourselves; eitherof which at a moment
may precipitate US into war. A wal
has already broken out in the east,
"a war that must inevitably invelst
nearly or quite I'LL of the nations Of
Europe and Asia, war likely to bt
Intimately more bloody in its progress
and more vast in its results than any
ever before waged on EARTH
Every week is destined to bring
intelligence of mighty events-and
is this time when any man to whom
God has given soul superior to the
instincts Of the beast Of the field can
be willing to remain in ignorance of
what is Transporting at home or abroad?

Arrival Of id the steamer
H E& "a Ia MA HLHN e

A formidable revolt took place at
Madrid, on the 28th uIt., headed by
Gen. O'Donnell. The insurgents
numbered 1000. Thelatest newsstate
that the city barfieades and garri-
son had fraternized with the insur-
gents. ODonnell had threatened
to attack the Palace unless the Min
istry resigned. 1t is also stated
that the Queen was called upon 10
abdicate. Reports are conflicting.
1t is reported at Vienna that the
Cars reply has been received He
says he will resist to the last man
and last ruble.
The Russians have not evacuated
MoIdayia, but had concentrated their
forces on the Pennsylvania frontier,
making complete change Of front
with 10000 men ready for action.
Austria on the other hand is re-
ported to have despatched u force Of
$4,000 m en- into. Mold4yia to drive
the Russians across the river Sereth.
So that a collision is considered very
probable.
Official adyices say that the Cars
reply to the Austria Prussian note
has not TRANSFERRED
Nothing important from the az
lied fleets.
Sebastopol is still threatened.-
The Baltic fleet is still off Cronstadt.
Is The Russians continue to retire
from Wallachia.
The right bank of the Danube is
entirely evacuated, except two forth
fications.

The Eastern Var.

We have looked in vain, for weeks
past, at the Foreign News, for some
really important event in the history
of the War. An editor in Missis.
slppi lately promised his readers
something new and striking in ref
erence to it,as soon as his youngest
son "a white headed urchin) got old
enough to edit the paper. Major
Jones, of the Savannah Morning
News grows quite merry on the sub
ject lately. Hear him:
"Pull of your pat an roll up your sleeve,
| Danube is hard road to travel, believe"
We are reminded of the very ex-
pressiVe feelings Of the popular negro
song, by every fresh batch of iutelli
gence received from the theatre OF
war. Some four or five months have
now transpired since the Anglo
French Allies commenced pulling off
their coats and rolling up their
sleeves, preparatory to pitching into
the Russians; and up to this time we
have not had toreeord a single action
of either the combined armies or ma
vies, worthy to b { called a battle.-
The note Of bus y preparation has
been heard on all sides, but still--in
the words Of the marker at West
ern shooting match nothing done.'
The Allies were a long time in
making up their minds to be count

for time their fleets we're prevented

that the Russians have been kept
pretty busy BY the Turks. The
Bear found his bHrrow in the Prieei-
paiItles rather uncomfortable, and 1t
seems has at length been forced to
retreat to securer quarters; but the
Allies have had no part in driving
him from his bay. We do not know
that the Turks are given to singing

musical raee--but if they affect ne

A letter from St. Petersburg Of tht

| The bad news from the theatre Of wal
several Generals wounded, Prince
4 PaskiewItsch having received a con
fusion which has obliged him to give
up the command and to retire to
Jassy-has produced a profound i'm
preston on the Emperor and his
suite. His Majesty, when he receiv-
ed it, was in the square in which mil
itary exercises take place, inspecting
some fortified works that had just
been terminated; but he immediate
" returned to the palace, and con-
voked the Minister Of War, and such
princes Of the imperial family as are
of full age. After a long conference
with him these porsonages Withdrew,
and Count Nesselrode was summon
ed. The Emperor wrote an auto
graph letter to Prince Paskiewitsch
90 express his regret at what had
happened, and TO inquire after his
health. tits still very doubtful that
the chief command will be left to
Prince Gotschakoif.
The following paragraph, dated St.

"The damage causedby The blockade
of the coast of the Baltic and the Black |

lowing statistics of the ordinary rate
ofthe exports aud imports In 1852
{, 500 freighted vessels entered the

of vessels which entered the Black sea
was 2,6O0-tota, 100000 tons.

George n. Saunders, late Consul
to London, recently addr essed a letter
TO KossutB, in order to elicit an an
thoritatiye expire ssion Of the opin-
ions entertained by the Republicans
Of Europe, concerning A meriean af
fairs-the slavery question especially
Kqssuth answers explicitly for him
self, and also undertakes to answer
for Aazzini, disclaining all idea or in
tention Of interfering in such affairs
The impression is strong on our mind
that letter was read from Mazzini
at one Of the anti-slayery meetings
of 1858, in New York, which is not
reconeilable with this declaration, but
we cannot now find the document
aud it matters not. We only refer
to the. subject to introduce the fol-
loving comments Of The N. Y. Ex-
press:
sWe beg leave to assure Mr.. Saun-
ders that he need not have been in
50 great a hurry to have Mr.. Kos.

mail steamer. We, on this side OIL
the Atlantic, are not at all uneasy
on the subject. In fact, we do NOT
believe our wretched country would
CD into mourning. even if that 'ex-
PLANTATION should never have been
sent. We have now happily learned
to survive the good or bad opinions
Of foreigners istinguished Or IN
distinguished. OF course, we should
all be ambitious to obtain the good
opinion of the wor Id in general, but
there has been of ate years so much
running out of The way on the part

may think Of US or our Institutions?
Who cares what the Manchester Abo-
litionists may think of US? Who
cares whether Mhzzipi speaks well or
i'll Of. US? We cana$sure those gen
tlenen, one and all, that they are alb
surdly exaggerating their own impor-
tance, and the importance of their
opinions, this side Of the Atlantic, if
they imagius for a moment that what
they speak OF write against US, is
considered matter Of consequence. =
We are, fortunately, not SO sensitive
a people, as we used to be, and can
listen to the 'reproaches Of iistin
5uished strangers with eqaalimity
and unc5 ncern, When the republic
