THE DIPLOMATIC CROPS.


The Was.hin gton correspondent Oftho Phil
adelphia No rth American says:-
This adm inisiration has been remarkably
unfortunate in its foreign appointments. Mr..
Soule has be EN- the source Of project illiad
of woes and notifications. Scion Borland s
career was succession OF blurders Esd crimes.
Mr.. Belmont t, the German p~etege of Mr..
Buchanan, is complained Of for neglecting the
interests of an American, whose claim for in
demnity aga INST Holland is the.only business
which this ip lomatiss had entrusted to bis
care. Mr.. ID aniel. the Charge at Turin. has
been ta5ooe at that capital FOR hbelling its
society and th customs of the country, And
now it has ti'anspired that Dr. Hebbe, the
Consul at A tx La Chapella, has seen recalled
for some oc euirences Of private character.
The continr "a nee of Geo. Sanders as Consul
at London, for six months after bis rejection
by the Sen; to-, proves the indifference of the
appointing power 20 the opinion of that body.
TO revert TO Mr.. Beimont's appointments, it
is discred it able fact that the name of blr.
Lay, of New York. bad been sent TO the Off
cial paper be gaEetted as Charge to the
Hague, when it was recalled at the demand
OF Mr. But h anaD, and that Of Belmont sub.

daughter of James and Mary E. Mathews, aged

A DEw-DRoP leaped to the morning sun,
AS the golden rays were streaming BY
With pearly tear-was its mission done,
And it sped from earth as rising sigh.
So, Parents, fed thy angel-child,
When Symphonies called her home:-
Her spirit rose in rapture wild,
On incense from Jehoyoh's throne!
Then do not weep, for God doth say,
That He will ''acipe all tears alcay!"

CINCINNATI, Sept. 26 "A serious riot &C.
Cured last night 10 the Twelfth Ward. be-
tween party Of Protestants and German
Catholics, which has caused much excitement
in the city. and it is feared may lead to fur
Their troubles in that and other sections Of the
city.
The difficulty originated in an attempt to
organize Protestant Sabbath School in the
neighborhood, which was forcibly resisted by
the German Catholics residing in the vicinity
They attacked and took possession Of the
house which had been rented for the purpose,
and threatened death to any person who
should attempt to organize Sabbath school
there. The police interleared and seized the
ringleaders, but before it was suppressed,
three persons were seriously wounded by pis-
toll shots

DEEP PLOUGuING.

The value of deep ploughing has been IL
Illustrated this year to an extraordinary degree
The land thus ploughed resists the drought
with great effect, and the farm of Professor
Mapes. in New Jersey, is given as an in
stance. Not single plant seems to have
suffered for want of moisture. This prolific
farm, bending under its fruits whilst all the
neighboring farms have had their crops parch-
ed in the fields, is given as striking proof
of the value of sub-soil ploughing in dry
season.

HEJ-We have no disposition to enter into
any controversy upon the subject Of our late
Affections, With the author Of an article in the
editorial column Of the last Republican
under the head "1he Cholera, The Ga
zette."
If the writer referred to was surprised
astonished, and indignant" at our "article,
what does be suppose must have oeen the
feelings Of our citizens upon reading the par
agraph which we copied from the baltimore
Patriot? 2" 1t was not surprise, but genuine
Indignation that NOV ed the feelings ofan in
jured community. Aud who, we would ask.
felt that there was the slightest "maignity"
ir our notice Of that paragraph, but the au-
thor of the article 10 the s'Republican ?" A
number of our most respectable and worthy
citizens desired US to copy the article from
the Patriot and correct its errors, and for
this purpose it was brought TO us. else we
should net have seen it, as we do not receive
the Patriot.
When we stated that the Cholera had, ''dis
appeared from our town" We spoke upon the
authority of several Of our physicians, and
the universal belief of our people, and the
charge 'that there was at the very moment
of bis (our) writing or publishing that nrti
Gle, three victim of that terrible disease. ly-
ing unnterred in this small town." is unjust.
1t is true that on Tuesday evening and night.
after our paper had gone to press the disease
broke out again and three persons died. On
Tuesday of last'week, just prior to going to
press we consulted three or foui Of our ply
scans who had probably seen nine tenths of
all the cases that occurred, aud their opinion
was that not more than so, if so many, bad
died here of cholera. Our weekly bills of
mortality" were furnished to us not by ply
stefan, but by one who kept correct list of
all who bad died here, and those who bad
gone from here and died at other places, be-
tween the Ssh and the 26th ut., as well as
those who had died from other diseases as the
cholera,-in some instances the distinction
was made, in others it was not. We pub.
lished facts, and made statements upon au
thority which we believed to be good, having
but one desire in relation to them that they
sh ould be as reliable as they possibly could
be, that our readers should not be deceived
by false and exaggerated reports, being as
well aware as tie writer in the Republican,
that There is no point upon which the Press
should more sternly announce the precise
truth than in stating the real condition of an
epidemic, and the exact number of deaths re.
sultiag from it,
We deny that we felt any degree of "ma-
Lightly" or vulgar bate" when we peuned
the article that has so stirred up the true
courage and manhood" of this humane aud
considerate writer in the Republican" and
we trust that when next be deems it neces-
sary to make himself heard. through the col
umns of that paper, he will select subject
upon which he can exercise less Of "maligni-
ty" and vulgar hate" and more of strue
courage and manhood" than is manifest in
bis last effort

LATER PROM EUROPE.

BY the arrival Of the Alps at Boston, and
the America at Halifax, we have full
weeks later intelligence from Europe. The
great fact Of interest which the news puts us
in possession of is the fnal departure Of the
expedition against Sevastopol. Between
six and seven hundred vessel Of war and
transports, manned by $4,000 sailors, and
conveying $4,000 soldiers and three thou
sand pieces Of cannon, left Varna on the
4th and 9Th with the expectation of appear
ing before Sevastopol on the 10Th ult, when
the landing Of the troops was to Immediate
ly follow. This expeditionary force is the
most imposing that has ever been sent out
By any power, and its operations may be cx-
pected to be on corresponding scale Of
greatness. It is not probable that we shall
have any definite news in regard to the
movements of the expedition for fortnight
to come. Prince Menschikof commands at
Sevastopol, and Russia is no doubt prepared
to resist the attack of the allies with all the
force and means at her command.
Mr.. Soule has written letter to the Off
cial organ at Madrid in reply to the insinu-
atoms of that journal in reference to his de-
parture from Madrid, Mr.. Soule's grandil-
oquent style will excite more of amusement
over the absurdities into which his egotism
betrays him, than of serious apprehension,
though the letter is not such one as should
have been drawn from an American minis
ter at foreign court by any provocation.-
The London Post acquits Mr.. Soule of any
completely in fomenting the late revolution
airy movement in Spain.
The strict neutrality of Austria and Prus-
STA is re-afirmed. and with this the Western
Powers are forced to be content. Russia has
entirely abandoned the line of the Danube,
leaving that river free. The domestic news
from England and the Continent is of but
little interest.
Breadstufs closed dull, but prices were
fully up to the previous weeks quotations
Cotton was easier but not lower.

See! Spring wears no longer
A mantle Of gloom;
Lo. graces adorn her
With roseate bloom.
The sea that was boiling,
With wrath on its breast,
Hath ceased from turmoiling;
Now peaceful its rest.
Ger lakelet smooth lying,
The duck ushers forth:
The crane too is flying
Away to the North.
The Sun in its brightness,
Sheds beauty around,
And clouds now their lightness
Portray on the ground.
Mans labors are wearing
Their loveliest charms,
And valleys are bearing
Rich gifts in their arms.
Mid dark foliage growing,
The fair olives CLEAN:
While round us is flowing
The Bromian stream;
And fruit too is pending
Along leaf and bough;
On branches low-bending,

0J7It will be seen that the Know Nothings in

animated, but the friends of Mr.. Kinks profess
to be very sanguine of his election by cousid,
