The siege Of Sebastopol continues. The
Russians have made ferocious sortie-in
which they claim victory over the British
troops 1t appears that the British WING
was assailed, and would have been over
powered had not portion Of the French
troops came to their assistance.
"Irhe attack was unexpected, the ranks
gave way and even left their guns, which
were seized by the Russians, and were tur-
ned against them. The Scotch regained
the position, the other forces arrived and
the Russians were obliged to yield. The
Russians, nevertheless, remained masters
Of the field, from which they fred on the
allies. Three regiments of English light
cavalry are reported to have suffered i'm
mensely. Fhe French took pat in the af-
fair with admirable bravery, and the next
day their position was also attacked by a
body Of 5000 Russians. Among the
names of the killed and wounded are none
Of the general officers.
A siege will be obstinate beyond anti
cipation. At the latest from Sebestopo
the cannonade bad continued uninterrup-
ted for seven days. The fire of the Rus
slams was slackening. The loss of life in
the town was so great that the air was said
to be tainted by the number Of unburied
dead. The loss of the allies is compare
lively small, and Lord Raglan was favora-
bic to prolonged bombardment in prefer
ence to an immediate attack.
Both armies have received reinforce
ments, and it is probable that really great
battle will be fought near the walls of Sc
bastopol. Both armies will soon number
100000 men each.

THE HEAD OF THE Panic MAKERS

THE HEAD OF THE PANIC MAKERs.-We
regret to see John Thomson, the N. Y. bro
ker and Banker, leading himself to the
alarnists in running down western Banks.
He can do q great deal of harm when the
merest rumor is taken FOR the truth. In
such times, the man who really desires to
protect the people, would not Tighten them
out Of their property by means of Panic
We venture to say that Western Banks are
at this moment more solvent than the
Banks of New York, or New England be-
cause the high prices ofproduce have given
the West unusual means to pay aceruing
debts Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Editors and pOffss

Editors and poets two suffering speci-
mems Of humanity, for whom you ought to
pray 1t would almost be mereiful to kill
them to free them from their misery: but
never mind; you are doing that fast enough.
How the wind blowsl how the snow
flies You have not paid for that paper
YOU are reading, nor last years numbers,
Ielther; but no matter, the editor never
needs a new coat and his wife ought to
have christian spirit and not want new
caioo dress this year,-~and as to fuel, ali
editor should have mental fire sufficient to
dispense with that superiority. IF you
take bis paper from the office and read it,
he ought to feel rel poid, Just as young
writers should when the economical prin-
ter "fTds room" for their PROHIBITIONS
''iFsyery author must establish reputation
before he can hope for peeuniary advan-
tage, or IN ether words he must struggle,
unaided, thro' life, and de for tse-r,esoard.
What does the world care for poet p
No matter how much he strives to please;
no matter how many pearls rise from his
soul and are freely given to others,-no
matter how much he suffers in the unre-
lenting grasp Of poverty, the world cares
not. Yet it loves to criticize his dearest
thoughts-cull the brightest and place them
IN It's coronet, while it rudely dashes away
the trembling hands that wrought the
gems. Ali vain world, to wrap myself
IN glowing robes, but crush beneath thy
jeweled feet the weary weavers but re-
member thy garment is woven of life
threads, and each pearl is a part of the
weavefs soul. Yet despair not, poor en-
