BALTIMORE AND PoToMAc RAfLRoAD.-
A surveying corps under the command Of
C. Fl. Henshaw, has been placed on this
route by J. R. Trimble, Esq. This road
when msde, will dispense with The steam
boats on the Potomac, and by saving some
40 miles Of distance, prove valuable link

The LITERATURE OF Wharf.-The liter
s'ure of war is preciot1sly exem plifed in the
following coolAwki;iug from the London
Times 49,
1--WE may suppose snd i, is neither On
improbable nor an agreeable supposi,ion-
that the loss Of the two sides was in much
the same ratio as at the battle of Alma
that is, two to one in our favor. At this
rate, in about week we should lose FIVE
thousand TO ten thousand of The enemy, and
in two months time should achieve the de-
s,ruc,ion Of so, 900 Russisns, a, the cost of
the whole allied army. There is nothing
ii oil out Of the way in this calculation,
when it is considered that we have to throw
into our losses the constant Grain by sick
ness. As q matter Of fact this, is and always
has been, the Russian mode Of warfare
That power, mancipiss Occupies, egens eris,
always has been lavish of life, end ready to
pay two Of its own for one of The foe. The
.rlillerymen who turned their guns on the
melee Of British and Russian cavalry on the
25.h acted on the customary calculation
that . Russian drsgoon counted for nothing
when there was an opportunity Of Destroy
ing British one. Whenever, then, the en-
envy can attack Us with a reasonable hope
Of losing only two TO our one, we may de.
pend upon i. ,hs, he will, end that the EN-
peror will hail i, az victory over Us. He
will no, gruJge TWO Bnrodinos TO destroy
the Two invading armies. When such is the
calculation evidently acted upon, and the
result answers TO j.. whs. is j, but a ques-
ton Of supply All things considered, we
really csnnot expect to continue always
killing and wounding two Russians 10 our
one Q, least, we cannot hope TO, do more
shsn this, we may do less. But. a, ell events,
If the con,es, going on o. its presen, rate,
our forces now IN the Crimea will be des-
sroyed omewhere abou, New Years day,
and we shall have the doubtful satisfaction
ofknowing ,ba, The Russians have los. twice
as many, but are at last, "mas,ers Of The
felJ.'"
The Times, in another article, says
Wholly excluded from the sea, the Rus
slams csnno. supper, large army in the
Crimes; not, at least, in the presen. Stale Of
its communication aud supplies. Should
We happily succeed in taking Sevas,opol
their turn will come, and they will have TO
besiege us wi,hou, the command Of single
port, and wi,hou. even the power Of sp-
prosching their own shores. Occupying
possibly our own deserted camp they will
have to draw all their supplies either from
she remote parts Of the Crimes, or from the
interior Of Russia through the Is,hmus Of
Perekop. We shall see how long that slate
Of things will endure. IF i, lasts long i,
will be new chapter in The history Of
wsr.
The Russians are masters Of the CONT
nen,-we Of the sea and the only question
is, which csn bring up supplies to the bat
sie 6eld the quickes.-shc Russians, with
their con,inen. or we with the sea.

The DEFENcEs OF SEyAsToPoL.-Se-
vss,opol is VIGOROUSLY no. great and uni
ted body Of defences on the Vauban system,
bu, consists Of several separate forts or great
batteries, provided with earth walls and
casems,es, after The so-cslled Prussian sys-

in the case Of Sevas.opol one breach cen on

former case . place may fall by the cow
srdice or corruption Of single comman-
dant. A. Sevas,opol every separate work
has its own commandment, and can only be
taken by assault, through breach effected
by numerous pieces Of the heaviest ar.ilIe-

Of four others, and can be Instantly SO COW

The individusl garrison, indeed, must obvi-

Guilty, however, Of effec'ing breach may
be Judged from the following :-"Suppos-
ing the sllies should undertake from the
land side the reduction of the AlexandeI's
fort, which is placed on q narrow spit Of
land, they must first construct, under the
fire of the Russians batteries, others of e.

protected BY a strong advanced rampant Of

frs, be destroyed, 80 tina. their rubbish fall
ing IN on the ear.hwork may answer the
purpose Of breach, which we shall present.
ly see TO be an operation Of gres. difficulty.
To reach the main wall, the FIRE must be
psrabolic, and such FIRE must be msinisin-
ed tom distance of not less than six hun
dred PAGES. The breach, if made, has yet
to be carried, and six hundred PAGES cannot
be covered by the asssiling infantry in "a
short time, unless al an exhsusting speed.
Immense loss is cer.sin, and if the defence
be gallant, the result very ques,ionsble.-
The moment the fort is carried it is then, as
above stated, under crushing FIRE from The
