The OTHER SIDE.-The Lexington Star
learns from good authority, that a reverend
gentleman in that town recently received a
letter from m old acquaintance, n missionary
in Persia, wherein the writer describes bat
tic on the Persian frontier, between the Rus.
slams and Turks, to which he was an eye
witness. The Russians, $4,000 strong, total.
ly defeated $4,000 Turksl This fact, coupled
with the result Of the battle of Petropolowski
on the Pacific coast, of which California pa.
pers bring the news, may well cast, says the
Star, additional suspicion on the European
reports Of Russian disasters in the Principai
ties and the Crmea.

CAss ON SCLAY.-General Cass, in his recent
speech at Detroit, in reply to the attack made
on him by the Richmond Enquirer, thus re-
fers to Mr.. Clay:
! hold the name of Mr.. Clay in the greatest
reverence, and rank him with The wisest and
purest patriots whose services are written
upon the history of our country, and whose
memory is ndelibly impressed upon the hearts
of our countrymen. Such men as Mr.. Clay
may unite; they never conspire. In the stor-
my period of 1860 it was my pride to CO.
operate with him, and to add my feeble con-
tributon to his gigantic efforts in behalf of
the integrity and perpetuity of the consti-
tuition.

We have good many big, fat, e,looking

STORMY WMTER.-li is predicted by the
weather-wse, that the ensuing winter will be
unusually stormy, marked by heavy falls Of
rain or snow, or both. The prediction is
based upon the fact that about the same
amount of water falls to the earth each year,
and as much less than the usual proportion
has fallen during the last six months, the
balance is to be made up this winter.

THE PRINTERS 8 Toll.

Blow We stormy winds of winter,
Drive the chilly drifting snow;
Closely housed the busy printer,
Heeds not how the wind may blow.
Click, click. his types go dropping,
Here and there upon the case,
As he stands so briskly popping,
Every letter in its place.
Heaven send the useful printer
Every comfort mortals need
For our nights were dull In winter,
Had we not the news to read.
Sad would be the worlds condition,
If no printer boys were found;
Ignorance and superstition,
Sin and suffering would abound.
Yes, it is the busy printer
Rolls the car of knowledge on;
And gloomy mental winter
Soon would reign if he were gone.
Moneys useful. vet the minters
Fill not half ms high place,
As the busy, toiling printers,
lingering type before the case.
Yet while type they're busy setting,
Oft some thoughtless popinjay
Leaves the country, kindly letting
Printers whistle for their pay
o, ingratitude ungraciousl
Are there on enlightened SOIL
Men with minds so incapacious
AS to slight the printers toll.
See him how extremely busy,
lingering type before the case,
Toilng till he's almost dizzy,
To exalt the human race.
Then long live the art Of printing.
Here on happy freedoms soil,
And with JOY that knows no stinting,
Heaven reward the printers TOLL
