-Ae Black Warrior Affair.

a.Sihis seems TO be the all cngrossing topic Of
the day. President Pierce's Message, which we
published last week, has, 50 far Ms NO can
learn, given pretty general satisfaction, As
far as the Executive branch Of our Govern.
incnt is concerned, We doubt not prompt meas
urcs viii or have been taken for redress. The
United States have suffered at the hands of
tho Cuban authorities n long series Of abuses,
to bear with which longer would naturally
subject our government to the imputation and
charge OF cowardicc and pnsilanimity. The
President has clearly intiinatcd 10 Congress
thnt he stands prepared to vindicntc both the
honor of the country and the rights of our
citizens. IL only remains for that. body to
place the proper and necessary means at his
disposal, and we can but hope that its action
IN the premises will be such as the nature OF
the case aud the ilagrancy of the outrage dc.
mand. The country will expect and will toll
crate no temporising on the subject. 1t will,
with President Pierce, look for something
more than an empty apology from Spain, such
ms heretofore appcased and satisfied our gov
eminent for wrongs and injuries perpctratcd
upon American citizens in Cubn. In all ques.
tions Of this kind, the people nrc always in ad.
vance Of the government, and had their voice
been needed, redress for past injuries would
not have been delayed to this late date. Could
they have been heard, tho ignominious death
of Crittcndcn and his brave and heroic follow
crs wonld long since have been avenged and
the stars and stripes would now command that
respect in the port ofHavana, which they com.
mand in that Of Vera Cruz.

Mr.. Editor noticed in your Journal OF

Etiquette. in which you care il ms your opiu-
ION that a young gentleman should walk on

TO differ with you in this respect, and to a
considerable degree. You know, and so docs
every man that knows any thing concerning
human nature, that VIC girls when walking
with n gentleman in the street, or anywhere
else, wish to be on his left side, that we NAV
be as near his heart rs the nature of the case
will admit, especially il he is pretty good look
ing and not too old, or "a widowcr. Here il
your reason: "In meeting people in the street
it is rulablc to turn to The right" This | will
admit in certein cescs-that is if u gentleman
meet another, or n lady meet n lady, then they
should pass on the right, bu; il n gentleman
meet n couple (a gentleman and LADY, he should
invariably pass OH the gcntlcman's side, and
the same with a lady. am disposed to be-
live yon left handed, or your heart is in your
right side; perhaps you had better get some
doctor to examine and see. The idea of u

perfectly ridiculous. | am bound to think YOU

will not suffer il TO be SO "wc will say not so

our rights and take the left arm by storm-no

We can't pretend to argue with the ladies.
If the dear creatures are determined TO walk
on the left side Of their bcaux, Of course they
must have their own why, only we think il IL
hard that the gentlemen must he denied the

A Battle in tho Dark.

On the 18th of February n conflict took
place by mistake between two columns of the
Russian army. The Turkish positions are ex.
tended in nm castcrly direction, rs far as the
village of Cuiperceni, which is about a mile
distant from knlafat. For several days, a
Turkish corps, four thousand strong, under
the command of Col. Miroali. had been posted
in front Of this village, and in the direction OF
the Russian ontposts.
On this corps the Russians determined to
make an onslaught during. the night or the
10th. For the purpose two Russian columns
were brought up, each from 1000 TO 5000
strong, lone by the road which leads to kula.
fat. from about the village OF ScrihtIi, aud the
other from tho LEFT side OF it. from about pois.
no. ,Priuce MiloSch's property,) to advance
Unexpectedly upon the Turks, by surprise,
huclo>c them, and cut them TO pieces. The
Russian columns commenced ihoir marcli az
. o'clock IN the morning, aud by 4 O'Clock
reached a position from whence they were on.
y oac-half an hours march from the Turkish
piosotS. The second column seems either to
have missed che direction by installing tho
road, or 90 have como up long after iiS time.
BE this as il may, the latter column. ia the

The School Law.

w epnblish to-day, the circular Of the State
Treasurer relative TO carrying out tho proyi-
sious Of the School Law passed by the last
Legislature. The State Treasurer thus far
has complied with the acquisitions of the law
IL is the, first step that has hncn taken toward
bringing the School Bill into operation, and il
now remains for tho Chief.Justices, County
Commissioner, Assessors and Collectors OF
the several c%turtics, to perform tho work al
lotted TO them, in order TO insure q happy and
successful result, Our County Court has al
ready adopted measures TO effect this purpose,
and Mr.. Mitchell, the Assessor, aided by Chief.
Justice Bcllingcr, will start ont in few days to
arrange the Districts and make an assessment
of tho children coming under the provisions
of this act. D
The Legislature made no provision for com.
pensating tho Assessors for their trouble, but
the State Treasurer gives it rs his opinion that
a liberal appropriation will be made at the
next meeting Of the General Assembly. We
hope that such will be the case. Although the
principal object Of the bill--the education oil
our youths should he paramount to all other
interests, yet Mr.. Mitchell, MS n good officer
should, has faithfully discharged his duties as
Assessor, and it would DC requiring rather toe
much Of him to take the rounds Of tho coun-
~ again without n reasonable compensation.
