THE GREAT BATTLE IN NEW YORK.
PROM THE ALBANY REaIsrER.

THE WATERLOO OF 1854.-Our readers have every
day for almost week stout array of figures, standing
in four columns broken at first but gradually closing up.
headed State Returns Those columns nearly full
now, and begin look pretty solid The column led by
Gen MYRoN H. CLARK is altogether the heaviest and has
borne itself brayey throughout the quadranguar war
fare 1t looks stout enough now to bear down all oppo
son and come out Of the contest the victor. It has
been exposed to hot and incessant fire from Gen. SEy-
MoURs column and raking shots for day or two from
Gen ULLMANss division. The Hindoo regiment fought
mpetuousy for short time, but did not hold out with
the vgor and dogged pertnacty that cha
racterize soldiers Of colder climes in pitched battle
The squibs and crackers fred from the scattering squads
comprising Gen. BRoNsoNs command attracted but little
attention and did execution The only place where
they made any thing like decided stand showed clear
symptoms Of pluck was in Schoharie.
The battle between the Clark and Seymour armies
tremendous 1t is not quite yet Throughout the
conflict cold water and were about neck and neck
Through the smoke Of the combat and heavy cannonad
ing and the sharp cracking of the smaarms here and
there caught gmpses Of the bright banner inscribed
with the word Temperance and ever and anon another
and darker banner inscribed :" Lager Bier" might be
seen borne alof and tapping in the breeze All interest
concentrated upon these opposing columns, and the
excitement among the friends Of Jug and Decanter was
intense.
But to recur to the columns headed State Returns"
Our readers they their eyes over them and
fully note the footngs have adequate idea OF the
labor that has been expended upon them. They have
been filed up, taken down, added to, subtracted from
corrected adjusted enumerated footed up and nursed
not only through long days. but longer nights of interest
excitement hope, fear, and uncertainty. Many and
many time, when we thought it was "all right" q
sharp fire of small would drop in from skirmsh-
ing party Of towns previously unheard FROM and the
lumns would have be closely looked after Then again
a whole county two would suddenly appear at some
weak point and pour in fearful broadside. Hot work
then We can assure you good genefolks and general
alarm throughout the ranks And it has been the
start But begin to breathe freely, and believe
Clark and his gallant division have finally triumphed II
so, it may be safely set down Waterloo victory.

DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES OF WIS
SEVERE Lrssos.-Will ,he wings Of Massaehusett

SEVERE LEssoN.--Will the Wings of Massachusetts,
profit by the lesson they have just been taught? viii
they their factions and their fusions? They
have been counting abolition votes for years. have been
deserng their great leaders, and have aided disgrace
great State by covering every prejudice that has a
iced the country At last they have found that there is
an adversary who has beaten them at their game
their antisavery ultrasm could not them We
shall whether the punishmen they have received
will be followed by the prompt penitence which it should
produce Union Of yesterday.
Truly the Union is handling a two-edged
sword when it talks of factions and their
fusions " in Massachusetts. Is not the fact Ioto-
rious that the Democrats for five years past were
in coalition with the Freesoil faction and that it
was only in this way that they obtained power at
all in that State? Did they not divide the offices
with these very anti-savery ultraists Was it not
by their aid that Mr.. BOUTWELL, was made Gov
ernor, Mr.. RANToUL Senator for the short term,
and Mr. SUMNER for the long term? The Wings
of Massachusetts certainly did not court abolition
votes for years with the same success that their
opponents did with these results standing out to
the public gaze It was only last year that they
recovered from the disasters inflicted upon them
by the Democratic and Freesoil coalition, and
secured the management Of State affairs If they
have faltered this year it under aspect of
affairs, and, as we have already shown, whilst only
one-halfof the Wings have bolted their own orga-
nization teo-hirds of the Democrats have done the
same thing. If the lesson is severe" on the one
hand, it is any thing but consoling on the other.
But the Union, like all other discounted cham
pions, looks out for companionship in misery, and
verify, which ever way its eyes are turned, there
is nothing to cheer it but the small solace that
Illinois has not made an absolute surrender of the
last Of the Democratic outposts

THE CASE OF MR.. soULE.

Unfortunately for the war-ereatlng spirits OF the

fair being altogether unknownO the propristies OF
diplomatic intercourse were exerted and the entente
cordial handsomely re-established. The following
extract from letter of the latest date from rel
able Paris correspondent gives the quiet reader an
assurance that neither unofending cities nor ball
cartridges are to be burnt on the occasion:
"I am happy to be able to state, upon what ! be-

whatever in the reports which find repeated in

contrary, my information is to the effect that a
most satisfactory solution Ito use the diplomatic
phrase) is almost certain. It would not surprise
me if were able to inform you next week that
M. Souls had actually passed through Paris on
his aoay to Madrid. Should this regretable little
fare-up be so promptly and satisfactorily extin-
guished, the result, have no doubt, should be at
tributed rather to the conciliatory but firm con-
sduct Of our Minister, Mr.. MASON, and to the es-
TEEN felt for him here in official quarters than to
any Difference, official or personal, to Mr.. SoULE."
rumor was current last evening that the Gov
ernment had received from Paris official information
coincident with the above. We are unable to state
whether this report is true but whether it be true
or not, we have confidence in the statement Of our
correspondent that the matter is virtually adjusted

The Boston Post" has letter from its corre-
spondent at Fort Ieavenworth which attempts to
show that slavery cannot be established in Kansas
Territory. The writer says:
There is no cause to believe that slavery will be in
troduced here. PD-slavery themselves concur in
this opinion oil around And this state of things is not
owing entirely to the large immigration from free States
Our population includes very many Of the men from Mis-
souri, and other slave States who have not the requisite
capital to be proprietors Of slave property and who,
moreover perceive that their labor would be cheap
ened and otherwise impaired by slave labor Their vote
will be as much against slavery as that Of the parties
which came from New England and the Western States.
It is true there slaves now in the Territory
but they are owned by officers in the army or other
persons not permanently located here that this fact
furnishes no ground for recognising the institution
as already in Kansas than does the oourn of Southernrs
with their slaves at Newport in summer months make

A New York paper publishes letter from its
foreign correspondent stating thatthe Hon. REvERDY
JOHNSON, now in London, was highly indignant at
the proceeding of the French Government towards
Mr.. SouLE, and the Washington correspondent of q
Baltimore paper alludes to a letter received by a
friend in this city from Mr. JOHNSON as conveying
somewhat similar views. We have seen the letter
to which we presume alusion is made, and all that
Mr.. JOHNSON says in it on the subject is that Mr.
SoULE denied having given any just cause for the
action of the French Government towards him, and
the expression Of his Mr.. Js opinion thati twould
not lead to any thing serious between the two coun-
tries The natural inference we think, from this is
that Mr.. JOHNSON did not regard the affair as one
of any Importance gravity, and this is the con
clusion at which the public in the United States
