PROGRESS OF THE WAR.-No additional intelli-
gence OF any interest had been received from Sebas
iopol since the battle of Inkermann on the 5h ut.,
neither party having been in condition to undertake
offensive operations.
The report that battle had occurred on the 18th
ult is incorrect.
The utmost activity is manifested by France and
England in sending renforcements, the safety of
the Allied forces in the Crimea depends thereon
Several thousand troops had already arrived.
Louis Napoleon says that powerful diversion will
be made in Bessarabia.
The Austrian and Russian diplomats were actively
at work, but France and England had given notice
that they would not treat the basis of the four
conditions.
1t was reported that the Russians had captured
two English vessels cruising in the Baltic.
The British Parliament will probably soon be sum-
moned, and taxes levied to defray the expenses of
the war.

Railroad Celebration.

The citizens of the county of Rowan are going to
have Railroad celebration at Salisbury on the attn
of January, 1855, in commemoration of the compile
ton of the North Carolina Railroad to that place.
We return our acknowledgements to the committee
who have extended to US the courtesy of an invita-
ton to be present on the occasion, of which, untor
tuneately, we cannot avail ourselves. No circum
stances, however, can prevent US hoping that the
celebrants may have pleasant time, and the Kali
raod prove as great advantage in possession as II
prospect. "
The allies have been nearly three months before
Sebastopol digging trenches and have only got Il
the second parallel. Somebody has been digging
trenches,in Fourth Street, between Princess and Chest
mt for the whole summer, and has at last brough
that unfortunate street to state 1cthout any paTat
lel 1t is essentially difficult ground" wholly "im
practicable for cavalry and dangerous for infantry
That unfortunate piece ofsreet seems to be kept as
public sandpt-a place to make mortar out ot-to bt
hauled off to fill up holes generally ltlooks like TIT
bed of twenty mountain torrents. What sins the un
fortu nate denzens of that unfortunate locality have
committed we know not-something awful they mus
have done to be so severely visited But we will say
no more-in fer gears the diggers may reach tn
second parallel and the operation of nature IN blow
ing the sand about may do something. So that afte
all, patience is the thing.
Seriously, there is not another such spot in town
and il is reflection on the community that one sucl
is permitted

Sst. =, 49,
ys-s cea, of Russia visited England in lS44;
- side in London, made overures 10 the Duke
Sr Wellington, and Sir Robert Peel, then at the
head Of the British government, for the dlsmem-
hermeu, and partition of Turkey. This proposal
wso complacently listened to by Wellington and
Peel. and the substance Of it was embodied IN
note This note was placed on file in The British
Foreign Office. The design was not carried to
practical issue because Sir Robert Peel was as
sured that Louis PHILIPPE would not entertain the
idea for slmoment.
Ten years ago, British ministers gravely listen"
ed 10 the propositions of the Gar, to participate
ia The very acts which they sovehemeniy oppose
now. They did not object TO the partition OF
Turkey, il they could secure good share Of the
plunder, and by this means still maintain the ball
ance Of power, and present barrier between
Russia and the East. They only object TO the
annihiIauon Of Turkey, because Russia would
reap the benefit Of such an event.
The Gar has Just exposed the whole Of this
secret conspiracy between himself and the British
ministers, in order to yindicaie himself from the
aspersions which have been hesped upon him in
the British Parliament. He says that the men
who denounced him, with SO much affectation Of
virtue in 1854, were willing, in Is44 to do the
vary thing which they now decry. Lord Aber-
deem cannot deny this fact; for the document has
been produced which substsntiates it.
And such is &c Secret Diplomacy" It is n.y.
pocracy and faIsehood made law. National hon
or, and public faith are not safe where such a
system prevails. II makes the rights Of men and
nations, dependent upon the ambition, cupldIty,
and convenience, Of their stronger neighbors. 1t
is system which every civilized nation should
discountenance and repudiate, If it has any re-
spect for its sacred honor, any regard or free
dom.
This exposure must place Great Britain in an
awkward position, in relation to Turkey, if such
feeling as that Of shame. can find place in the
breasts of the Representatives Of Great Britain
The Turk cannot possibly have very high opin-
ion Of the disinteFestedness or generosity OF his
ally, as he cOntemPIaies him plotting with Rus
sia, the dismemberment Of Turkey in 1874, and
then looks upon him now, as the slow. slack, ex-
acting, debating, embarrassing. ally Of Turkey
against Russia. Secret diplomacy is an engine
Of oppression, which was terminated amidst the
faIsehood and hypocrisy Of courts; il can never
be tolerated where honesty and Liberty prevail.
