Not least among the consequences Of the
Crimean war, SO far as this particular sec
ton Of this country Is concerned, is Its renewal
on Camp street by our neighbors of the Flea
yune and Delta. Neither the columns Of the
Russians nor the Allies weremore pregnant with /
crane shot and warlike missiles at Alma than
the columns of our contemporaries have been for
some time past with weighty and rhetorical
broadsides, and words Of laundering length, |
Sentences of most ominous ferocity and porten-
tous glare have been kept whizzing by our star
tied ears, from No. 66 to No. rs, night and
morning
Flashes out the furious notice fearfnly the eaders'
roll;
Clouds with heavy laden, darken DER Bombas-
topoln
If this paaceable street were equal to its name,
we should look anxiously for pitched camps and
combat. We're it what its parallel towards
the river assumes to be, We should anticipate
magazine explosion equal to that in the British
lines.

artist engaged the same. The Picayune
got the picture, and the Delta got-mad Inits

failed to obtain: Fort Constantine topping over
i Fort Quarantine; Fort Nicholas over the City
Fort, and ali four ready to fall fatally on the
ships Of war anchored beneath them; impractica-
BE distances; impraetcable defenses; valueless;
not reliable--the unkindest cut of all.
In connection with its criticism, and in keep
i ING with it's warlike tone, the Delta brought
suit againstth Pieayune for the " cut Of sebas-
