Whilst We do not pretend to vindicate ne
attack Of Lieut. Randolph upon Gen. jackson.
though that attack was caused by oneof the
most provoking expressions ever offered to
gentleman and an officer, We must be permit
tsd to ssy that tho man who can charge Lieut..
Randolph with cowsrdice Is guilty Of the
grossest injustice towards one Of the most
gallant gentlemen who ever drew the breath
Of life. His whole naval career was signal
lied by the most conspicuous courage. and
the sons of chivslry," ~ jackson charac-
terized the naval officers, regarded him ~
.sthe bravest of the brave" Whether twas
in battle with the enemies of his country, or
in redressing personal insults, Robt B. Ran
dolph was always first and foremost, and
known to be such by every officer in the SER
vice Of the U. States. 1t was for this reason
that, when prisoner in Bermuda, he was
selected by his brother midshipmen to chas-
tise British editor, who had wantonly in
suited the officers of the American frigate
President, an operation which he performed
in the most fearless and thorough manner.
His attack upon Gen. jackson showed at all
events plenty of pluck, and no one would
more readily acknowledge the fact than the
old hero himself For an unarmed man,
with one arm in q sling, to attack such a
ion as Old Hickory. and that in the midst
Of host of friends, was an act which
"a cowardly ruffian'' could never have
performed. Lieut.. Randolph is now in pow
erty and old age. His misfortunes have
stripped him of everything but his good
name, but, thank Heaven, that is beyond the
reach OF defamation.

NEGRO HIRING.-The impression pre-
walls that negroes will hire for much less the next
year than they did this, owing to the tiehtness of
the money market, the small number Of internal
improvements going on. and the suspension Of bu
past women have hired for exhurbitant prices~far
more thar their services were worth. Owing tn
this fact large number of white servants have
found situations in families residing in this city and
as far az we know, have given general satisfaction
The want OF in the Northern cities will
nc doubt cause many more to come here Al once.
and should they do 90, owners Of female servants
will be compelled to reduce their hire or take their
slaves home. II

Nicholas will recede from his fixed and
naughty purpose.
For now he has an instrument of annoy

have obtained by an Austrian alliance. Now
he has the people, while the allies have the
kings. They have made an unwise choice
Nicholas has it in his power to kindle the
fame of instruction, and set all Europe in

to defeat Austria. With Russian aid, she

the attention of Francis Joseph, to prevent
him from becoming very efficient ally to the
