GovERNoRsHIP OF UTAH.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Courier
and Enquirer says, that upona an examination
of the law of Congress creating the Govern
orship of Utah, he finds that the general opin-
ion that that office is vacant is not well
founded. The act, he says, makes a special
provision that on the expiration of his term,
the Governor shall continue in office until his
successor shall arrive, and consequently Gov.
Young will continue to exercise his functions,
probably until next spring. The writer sig.
niticantly adds, that there is gentleman
passing the winter in those regions, in whom
the government reposes the utmost conf
dence, Lieut.. Col. Steptoe of the U. s. Artil-
iery, who has with him respectable force,
consisting OF detachm ent of the regular
army, and whose instructions are to look well
after the interests of the General Govern
ment 1t is believed that if the services of
the gallant Col. Steptoe are required in the
Inauguration of the next civil government
they will not be refused. The administration
could not take step which would be more
universally sustained by the public sentiment
Of the country than the substitution of civil
lied Governor in Utah, in the place of Brig
ham Young, even though it should be neces-
sary, in carrying out its purpose, to put down
rebellion with the baoynet.

| THE HARLEM RAILROAD AcCIDENT.-The annex

THE WESTERN ALLIES AND THE UNITED
SrArKs.-The Washington correspondents of.
the new York tnuricr 4 Enquirer mentions. !
as a curious feature Of the Soule case, 4 state
ment that Lord Ciarendnn sent over his son
or nephew to represents to the government of
France that the joint interests of the alliance
would suffer material injury by the slightest
suspen sion Of the good understanding of
either power with the United States. We
sgree with the correspondent that the sug-
gestion would have been a sensible one, whe-
ther made or not, a,ld moreover, we think It
very likely IL was made. In the event of
rupture with the u nited States, through such
Hunder as that OFF Louis Lapoleon, England
would have lost more than she would have
gained by the Ere nch alliance. That blum
der, by the way, is calculated to shake the
confdeDee which has been so generally en-
tertained IN the sound judgment ofthe French
Emperor. May it not be that in it present
estimate OF his character, the world errs as
much in the extreme of admiration, as it did
in the extreme of contempt when he was
plain Monsieur Bonaparte. vzz EG
SIEGE OF Notwithstanding
| the intellig nee by the last steamer, which,
| to our mind leaves little hope that Sebastopol
can long hold out, the New York Herald still
maintains tn 1t the history of siege operations
justifies the doubt whether Sebastopol will
speedily fall. "Valenciennes,' says the He
raid, ain 1893, sustained siege of forty five
days, with only Us cannon. Dantzic, in
1913, held out for los days, with 500 cannon,
and then only yielded through the pressure
of famine. Cuidsd Rodrigo was defended by
only &c guns, and yetheld out fortwenty- one
days. The Russians have at Sebastopol 1 800
cannon, and these are mostly all of large cal
ibre. What probability is there, therefore,
in specializing on the proximate surrender Of
the garrison, buoyed up as they are by the
hope of being speedily relieved?
| II must be remembered, too, that the allies are
| only provisioned for six weeks and that notvith.
standing the alleged friendly disposition of the Tar
tar population, the descriptions forwarded home by
English officers of their scany fare show that this
sta tement must either be false, that the friendly
fee lings of the natives controlled by their ap.
prehensions of the doubtful nature of the contest
1t, therefore, the place can only hold out for few
| wee * longer-and at present we see reason why
| it should not-the Crinean expedition may possi.
bly, end in total failure.
These are Of course, mere speculations, but they
assume something OF force from the protracted re.
| sistance which the fortress has already made in
spite OF the confident anticpations formed by the
commanders of the expedition of its reduction in
| three or four days. II would be curious IL the
"dmid counsels" 80 injudiciously alluded to in the
French Emperor's letter, to Madame st. Arnaud
should after all turn out to have been suggested by
| correct views
