The news by the Asia comes in tumble
From reading the dispatches it is hard to tell
"what's what" SO mis,l6cd, mixed up and
contradictory are the accounts of the last
fighting. The Allies have, however, received
what would be termed in plain English ssa
d.ubbng." The French caught Tartar,
and the Turks from their precipitate manner
of leaving their guns, must have thought the
ID had come. Notwithstanding accounts
reach us through French and English chan
nels, and in as bungling a manner az it is
possible to make them, enough can be CLEAN
ed to form safe conclusion, that for once
the French, English and Turks have met their
match, and it is quite evident that the char
acter Of things in the Crimea has changed.
The Russians, instead of fighting on the de-
fensive, are now the attacking party; and in
the few sortes they have made, have done
wonderful execution. The Allies are too
slow motioned for old MENscHIcoFF, and
having become wearied waiting for them, he
has concluded to recommends the fight by
whipping them out of Balaklava, which he
did in just no time at all.
The taking Of Balaklava bv the Allies was
heralded t" the world as wonderful achieve
ment of arms, settling the fate of Sebastopol,
and the whole Crimea conc,usivelv. The
retaking may be considered wonderful
achievement, and is no doubt 50 regarded by
the Heads of Departments at home. It may
decide the fate of armies! The dispatches
state that it is certain the Russians had re-
ceived considerable reinforcements very
likely, and that still stronger detachments
were e Ing into the Crimea by way of Per-
chop. That's very reasonable, 100; and
should the seige be protracted thirty days,
the Crimea will be densely populated Pc
ninsula, according t., or way Of thinking -
Every square yard of its soil will he occupied
by Cossack Russian, having in his posses
sion a knapsack and musket, and other muni-
tons of war. Bayonets will bristle as thick
as blades Of grass, and every stone will be
trodden by soldiers shoe. The only hope
for the Allies is to fight quick and then leave
as soon as possible, for as our Poet would
say,
The longer they stay,
The more Russians they'll have to slay.

RED MEs IN WEsrERs AFEIeA--The Nou-
velles Anrales des Voyages, for June, contains
a translation by Cherbonneau, Professor OF Ara
bic at Constantine, Of the jouraey of a traveller
named Tueguri, via Timbuctoo, to the Mo1n-
tains of the Moon: These mountains, howevef,
according to this account, do not lie in Middle,
or rather Eastern Africa, as laid down in our
biographies, but among the Western hishlands,
which ill the space between the middle course
of the Niger and the Atlantic ocean The route
taken was from Timbuctoo to Dachenne, up the
Niger then for some time up the Niger, and n
nafly by land to Bambara, Sakay, Malka, and
Sakat. Then follows the ensuing passage
"Beyond the circle of Sakat begins, so TO
speak. new worlds the people have red
color. of whom part are herdsmen, possessing
innumerable herds of camels and focks OF sheep
the rest are husbandmen. One travels some
two months upon the territory, and then comes
to a great salt lake called Sebkat Schanaktha.-
This lake looses itself in the sands Of a bound
less desert. in which one finds trace of veg
citation. Across this desert, the passage OF which
occupies FIVE weeks, dwell nations OF red
color living in tents made of buffalo SKINS and
subsisting on dates and camel's milk Then
comes second waste, which can be crossed in
fifteen days. after which occur the first oases,
which belong to the Mountains of the Moon,
and are inhabited by red men," Are these ac-
counts actually based on facts' The journey,
as described, is long enough TO bring one TO the
Atlantic.

KERN RIvER.-Says the Stockton Argus mi
ners who have returned from the Kern River
diggings give favorable accounts, and say that
they are equal in richness to those of the San
joaquin. The stream is high, but there is plenty
Of dirt which pays from three to four cents per
pan. The gold is coarse. with but little black
sand mixed with it. Provisions are scarce and
high, but traders erecting stores, Although
these diggings are three hundred miles from
Stockton, freishts range from six to eight cents
per pound. t4
