General views of Generalship.

KossUTH, speaking of the proposed taking of Sebastopol, that monster of fortifcation, said:
 don't think you can take Sebastopol by the sea- The opportune moment of coup de main being lost, it would require sacrifices which you neither can afford nor risk. And as to taking it by land, to take fortress accessible by trenches and having but garrison to defend it, that is but matter of art and comparative sacrifices It can be calculated to tho hour
 But, to take all intenched camp. linked by terrible tortresses and an amy for garrison ill 1t, and new armies pouring upon your flank and rear and you Tn the plains of the Crimea, with also no cavalry to resist them, is an undertak- ing, to succeed in which, more forces are neces- sary than England and France ever can unite i'll that quarter for such an am Ask about it whichever staff officer who has learned some thing about tactics and strategy And in that position is Sebastopol thanks to your Austrian alliance, which having interposed herself be- tween you and your enemy in Wallachia, made the Czar free send such numbers to Sebastopol as he likes.
 You will be beaten, remember my word Your braves will fall in vain under Russian bullets and Crimean air-as the Russians fell under Turkish bullets and Danuban fever.
 
 in vain, shall see Albion or Gallia again. But 1 well tell you in what manner Sebastopol is to be taken. It is at Warsaw that you can take Sebastopol. Napier landing at Tamoglia, and brave Poland rising at the gallant cal will, at the very first moment, engage 100000 Rus sians
 The first report of Poland's instruction can but spread dissolution in the Polish ranks of the Russian army; in three weeks the Czar shall have 3OOOOO men less, and shall want 3OOOOO men more. His bravest provinces, 100000 of Poles, will have not only slipped from his grasp, but be fighting against him-12, 100000 left, by your impolicy to be the source of his power and the tools of his ambition. Was there ever evidence, if this is not? And that's not all Poland, with your authority and with your aid in arms, will assure King Oscar of Sweden that he is not to be left sacrifice in the hands of an over-p powerful Russia. Poland in arms, gives you Sweden for an ally; and Sweden, again, occupies at least 100000 Russians in Fin land, and seconded by your fleet, pushes on to- ward St. Petersburg. Thus you may take Se- bastopol under these conditions It will be but fortress with a garrison Your 3O,OOO braves will do the work

Keep it before the People.

In July 1853, when the county court of Pulaski county, upon the recommendation ofthe internal improvement commissioner, made the order to subscribe the Pulaski internal improve ment fund to the Cairo and Fulton railroad, the Gazette approved and commended the order, and " earnestly recommended the counties along the Aaes cf aN tue roads to Jolow the enomple."
 Here Is the language it used:
 ,"The county of Pulaski has subscribed the amount of her distributive share of the lhterna! improvement fund to the Cairo
 
 ' We would earnestly recommend the counties along the lines of ali the routes to follow the example set by Pulaski. Let those on the Memphis, Helena, Cairo, Fort smith and Gaines' Landing routes, ali sub. scribe for the construction of their respec. tive rOads.''
 hn August, 1854, little more than one year later, its advice to the new commissioners. elected to fill the places of the old ones, was directly the opposite. It condemned the ac- tion of the county courts making the orders, and recommended the institution of suits for the recovery of the money subscribed against the old commissioners. Here is the language it used, in bold contrast to its language in Jul4 1853:
 '' The first official act of the new com missioner, after he qualities in his office. should be, to have this decision of the County Court taken up to the higher courts, by certiorari or otherwise, and there corr rect the errors committed by the County Court, When that Is done, his next duty should be to institute suit ayainit his ore. decessOr in office, and his Securities, for the money of the people of Pulaski coun- ty, appropriated by him SD manifestiy with. out the warrant of the IaW.,
 Such Is the record of the editor of the Ga zette-the SoLoN of Arkansas--the revser of our laws and constitution!
 Wonder what prank he will play next ?- Fellow citizens, give him room.

 CT Mrs. Swisshelm, the editor or rather edi- tress of the Pittsburg Visiter, thus speaks of what she seems to regard as the abominable practice of wives telling their husbands" of every rudeness and insult offered to them:
 "While we were in Louisville, lady went home and told her husband that a clerk wink ed at her. The husband, who was stout me- chanic, laid down his plane went and bought a cowhide, proceeded to his store dragged the puny clerk into the street, and whipped him in presence of crowd. It was the first time we knew that winking was crime, and one not to be winked at; and from the talk attending the affair, we concluded the lady could pot be both sensible and modest woman-that she must be either semi-idiot or no better than she should be- Nowoman of ordinary intelligence. who loved her husband or respected herself, should ever carry away such tale. No virtu ous woman could need such protection as these combats afford. There can be no danger of vi olence in such cases, and the small imperti- hence of a look or word woman should scorn to see or hear, much less run to retail it." Upon the above, the Washington Star con- ments as follows:
 From the above, the inference is legitimate that the "strong minded women" have no ob- jection to being "winked at'' by puny, impcr- tinent clerks. So go ahead, ye men of the yard stick and ye polishers of the street pave ments, in your impertinences! The Swiss helms and Bloomerites will not tell their hus- bands.
 Now aoe think Mrs. Swissh elm considerably more than half right, and we think the widow of Welgert who was recently hung in Kentucky, will coincide with us. We by no means advo- cate tolerance of insult, but we are in favor of little discretion.

GREAT FIRE IN TROY, N.

Owing to the dry state of everything, it was impossible to check the fury of the flames. Fortunately no fatal accidents occurred during the conhagration.

Prairie Co.-Clerk's Office Burnt.

In letter from the Clerk of Prairie county, E. M. WILLIAMS, esq, dated Sept 17th, we get the following information:
 "This county met with serious calamity last night between midnight and daylight The clerks office is in ashes, and not book or pa- per saved. It was, doubtless, the work of an incend diary, as no fire has been about the house for week--not even a.lghted candle The loss to the county is severe beyond computa- tion-my own loss is about $500; all my fee books and private accounts being destroyed.
 How important that every county in the State should, without delay, procure fire proof safes for preserving their records from such calami- ties.''
 The suggestion in the last sentance of MT. Williams note to us is worthy the attention of every county. By the fire which has laid her clerks office in ruins Prairie county has sustain ed a loss that can never be replaced Fire proof safes should be provided for every county, and that too without delay.' Their importance ust be apparent to all.
