TnE DISASTERS IN TIE CRrxEA.-The
Washington correspondent Of the Phi!adcl-
phia North American gives some important
European items said to have been brought
by Mr.. Piatt, secretary of the American le-
CATION in Paris. The following is the ex-
tract;
"ln reference to the report that the Span.
ish government had referred to receive Mr.
Souie, Mr.. Z. says, the exact reverse is the
fact The most friendly disposition prevoils
towards Mr.. Soule at the Spanish Court
lie embarked at Bordeux for the Spanish
coast, a short time before the sailing Of the
last steamer, under salute appropriate to
his station.
Mr.. Patt thinks that the government of
France and England were in possession,
when he left, of news from the Crimea to
the 10th, which, from the oninous silence
that prevailed, was believed to be of the
most disastrous character. In fact, the
events occurring from the 18th October to
the 9th of November left hardly doubt that
the allied army was reduced to the alter
native ofa hasty embsrkment without their
artillery, or surrender as prisoners Of war.
The consequences Of this great reverse
will be very important, besides its immedi-
ate effect upon the progress Of the war. In
the first place, it is feared, with great reason,
that it will be followed by revolution in
France against Louis Napoleon, and probab-
ly in favor Of Henry 9th. That is Mr.. ri,
ats opinion.

THE PERPLExED cONDITIOH OF


The present condition Of public affairs is
sadly confused and perplexed. A feeling Of
vague distrust pervades the public mind. There
is want of faith, trust and confidence, which
produces uncertainty in regard to every mea-
sure Of public policy. In place of harmonious
and well-cemented organizations, there are
cliaues, factions, and coteries. In place Of
concert, there is disagreement; in place ofpeace
there is widespread dissension.
But one party presents compact and solid
organization, and that is the freesoil party.
They act together in relation 10 every measure
that involves the fundamental principles Of their
pernicious creed. They also act with deter
mined viii, and an unabating fervor worthy Of
better cause. Not only do these politicians
labor, but their pastors, their women, and their
children exhibit the same zeal and the same
energy. They resort to every means that can
further their ends Sermons, prayers, hymns,
speeches, pamphlets, petitions, and newspapers
are all employed by them.
How, on the other hand, is it with the two
great parties Of the country? We will take
the whig party in connexion with the Nebraska
bill.
They do not stick together. Their national
organization is broken up. The whole Of the
northern whigstake one course, and the southern
wings, with few exceptions, take the opposite
course.
10 rfx,. So not ap had
although there are many melancholy evidences
of contrariety of opinion among them. Whilst
nearly all Of the southern democrats agree in
supporting the Senate Nebraska bill, few Of
them dissent from it. AT the north, whilst
many of the democrats sustain it, there are
many who oppose it. A spirit Of independent
thought is fast taking hold of the public mind,
and party organizations begin to suffer from
acted together are now severed and estranged.
Men who felt in each other an undoubting
confidence now feel distrust and suspicion.
There is disposition on the part of individuals,
and squads of individuals, to set up for them
selves. There is a want of cohesion and of
cooperation. There is a want of some great
rallyingpoint some great commanding stand
ard. The elements of political organization
are the same now that they ever were. Human
nature has not changed. Our government is
the identical government that it all along has
been. Then why this conflict, this separation,
this distrust, this want Of uniformity? This
question should be well pondered.
