THE cAMANcHE CHIEF.

This is the title Of a new paper, just estab-
lished at Camanchc in this State. 1t is
handsomely printed, and is withal we'll con-
Quoted and readable paper. The editor fires
into class of men who follow politics AZ a
trade after this fashion:
We admire an upright, straightforward,
open-hearted, frank, honest, manly and in
dependent politician; one whose veal is his
country's; one who will speak and act for
her, and spurn, with singing scorn, every
thing or anything that would disgrace his
constituents or dcbase the man. But a low,
cunning, artful deceiver, that assumes ten
thousand shapes in twice ten thousand ways,
and beg and pray, implorc and plead; declare
that he is this and swear he is that; here he
will erect, there he will destroy; here he's a
Jew and there he's Gentle; who'll stoop
and cringe, fawn and swear, and
"Seem saint when most be plays the devi;l''
for such an one we owe no sympathy or re-
spect. We hate, abhor, loaihe, detest and
unquali6edly condemn all such black hearted,
money-grabbing, working, log-rolling,
unprincipled scamps-for it is such as these
that are ever sticking their poisonous fangs
into our political institutions ---'ts such as
these that have d;sgraced the annals of po-
li,icalhistory, and mangled, stained and dis
honored system that should glisten with the
splendor of purity.

ded. Admiral Kormloff was killed. The
Notifications suffered hut little.
On the 18th the bombardment was resum-
ed from the allied batteries. Russian dis
patches say that the garrison made frequent
sorties. When the mail left Constantinoplr,
FIVE boats had arrived at Balaklava with
the wounded in repelling the great sortie
10000 strong. Lord Raglan and Gen. Cam
robert, formally summoned Sebastopol to
surrender, and required the women, children
and sick to be sent away and flags hoisted up
on the hospitals.

Madrid was on Tuesday, Oath, refused per-
mission to pass through France, on his G.

magnificent old elm spreads its broad arms
above, and seems to lean toward it, as a
strong man bends to shelter and protect
child. A brook runs in the meadow near,
and hard by there is an orchard; but the trees
have suffered much. and bear no fruit, except
upon ,hej mos: remote and inaccessible branch

such you may hear in disturbed beehive.
Now peep through Wonder window, and Won
will see a hundred children, with rosy cheeks,
mischievous eyes, and demure faces, all en-
gagged or pretending to be engaged, in their
little lessons. 1t is the public school-thc
free, the common school provided by law:
open to all claimed from the community
as right, not accepted as a bounty. Here
the children of the rich and poor, high and
low, meet upon perfect equality, and COM
mence under the same auspices the race Of
life. Here the sustenance of the mind is
served up to all alike, as Spartans served
their food upon the public table. Here young
ambition climbs its ladder, and boylsh gem
Jus plumes his half fedacd wings. From
among those laughing children will 90 forth
the men who are to control their age and
