AN INCIDENT OF WAR.-We extract the fol-
lowing passage from the letter of private SOL
dier, dated at Sevastopo and published in The
London Times:
Having seen Mr.. RusselPs growing descrip-
ton of the battle of lnkermann, need not at
tempt TO say word on the subject. From his
description all you wanted 10 give life 10 the
word painting was to hear the roaring of the
cannons, and listen to the clash Of arms. One
scene, however, cannot withhold, as it affected
me so much. In the heat Of The battle II young
Russian officer made himself very conspicuous,
and appeared Indifferent TO danger. He was
yuong, tall, handsome. and indeed beautiful.
Twice had my rifle raised to shoot him, but
my heart srnote me, and turned it in another
direction. In an hour saw him again, but, oh
how changed. His cheeks, which had been
flushed with The heat of the strife, were now
deadly pale. He lay, or half-recined, on the
edge of hlock, and held the miniaturc-like-
ness of a pretty young lady in his hand, which
had been lied to his neck by small gold chain.
His eyes were fixed upon it, but they were fixed
in death. | cannot tell you what my feelings
were. Indeed, cannot venture. 1t would un'
man me"

that the lack of: success of the allies before

NATIONAL WASHINGTON MONUMENT. The

NATIONAL WASHINGTON MONUMENT. The
Board of Managers of the fund have issued an
address, in which they make the following ap-
peal for means 10 complete the Monument:
A new Board of Managers have now been ap-
pointed. We come into Office under favorable
auspices, and with well founded hopes of means
to prosecute The work. Since our election, on
the 22d February last, we have not been idle.
Our arrangements have been begun, and are in
progress. We appeal to the people. We wish
no legislature aid. We look 10 free hearts; we
call upon all, not the liberal and the generous
alone We call upon each MIN who this day
walks erect in all the panoply of freedom in this
broad land, who is not dead 10 The common i'm
pulses of humanity, who is worthy in the least
degree of the countless and diversified blessings
by which he is surrounded, we call upon men
everywhere 10 contribute each his mile. A great
and mighty people of twenty-five millions cam
not be so dead to the sensations which are in
nate in every breast at the bare naming of such
benefaction rs to refuse or neglect to give
their aid in such cause
Let every man, then, who feels his heart beat
with American pulsations, and every man who
reveres the name of Washington, singly or in
companies, communicate directly with our Sec
relury, and send in his contribution 10 our Treas.
uror, or suggest mode for its collection.

No MERCY FOR SEBAsToPoL.-Thc London
Times is in rage at the obstinate resistance Of
the Russians at Sebastopol, and thus cries out
for vengeance
Never was there q town so little entitled to
mercy as Sebastopol. 1t is no ancient city that
has grown up under the influence of arts and
manufactures, and is threatened with destruction
because its evil deslinies have made it 4 Iorlress:
1t has been built for the purpose Of menace and
attack upon an offending neightor; it is The III
slrument us well Us the symbol OF aggression.
TO destroy it would be a sgnaI service 10 hu-
manily-one Of those cataslroples Of war at
which The statesman and philosopher might Equal

entered the town and that other poule, y. ....rs
have quilted it. There can be no doubt that q
powerful Russian army occupies the strage,ical
position of Simpherpool, with view either TO
relieve the place We are beseging or to fall at 4
suitable moment Oh the works near Balsklava.
Hence the Importance of increasing the strength
of troops who have to guard our extended times
of coln,crvallation, and to cover the whole Of
our own entertainments while we are working
steadily onwards towards Sevastopol. We find,
however, nothing in this recent intelligence TO
divert US from the conviction we have repeated,
that although the attack upon the southern side
of the place may be carried on as fax as possible
with the means we have Tor its reduction, no
decisive success can be obtained until we are in
condition to invest the north side also, by the
operation Of some part of the allied armies on
the Belbek or in the interior Of the Crimea.
Within the last two months 10 less thar ten
whole companies of artillery have sailed for the
Crimea from England. During the week ended
April IA, no less than 5000 infantry left the
shores of The United Kingdom to reinforce the
battalions in the Crimea Early in May there
vii! be full 5000 British cavalry at the seat of
war;
No HOPES OF PEAcE-We take the following
f.om leader in the Times Of the 23l. 1t shows
we imagine, that all hopes of peace are dissipa-
ted:
,"The war continues, and is likely to continue.
Our money and our blood are poured forth like
water. We desire no peace but an honorable
peace, and are willing tc endure all the suffer-
ings, all The privalions, and all the losses, that
may be necessary TO obtain it. Whether with
or without the assistance of those powers to
whom we have been taught to look for support,
we hold that the country ought to be prepared
to stand to those terms and insist on those COLI
dilions which we required before we took up
arms but we have right to demand from our
government that our sacrifices and our devotion
shall be met by them in corresponding spirit.
We hare right to ask that our statesmen shall
rise to the height of the emergency, and shake
off those miserable practices which might be
tolerated in the quiet times of peace but which
become absolu,e y insupportable unde: the iron
pressure Of war Of all the persons who have
been pointed out as guilty of the disasters be-
ing recalled, what effort has been made to re-
place their proved ineficiency. what exertion to
supply their acknowledged negligence? They
remain, to ruin asecond arGy, as they have done
first, and to oyerwhelm the millions of this
yeari the same bottomIess abyss the millions
of last"

size Of goose eggs in fact, one ofthen weigh

scattering missiles either, but when the storm
was over they had accumulated along the strings
of fence and in the furrows Of the field 10 The
depth Of six or eight inches. When this is
swallowed, the additional statement that the

not DESTROYED, goes down very easily.
THE GEANARIEs OF THE WEsI.-If the re-
ceip!s should continue as heavy as they are At
present until the close Of the season, the year
with US will prove one of the most remarkable,
in commercial point Of view, ever known.
Wheat, corn, oats, rye aud flour are largely over
last years receipts for the same time, and the
amounts coming forward appear to be increasing
every day. The Upper Mississippi which usu-
ally sends out larger supplies of grain than the
Illinois, this season falls fur behind her aggre-
gate OF shipments. Should that section give
anything like the supplies heretofore received,
We have no hesitation in stating that the grain
business Of this market will show, at the close,
an increase Of at least twenty-five per cent. over
the operations Of any preceding year. The
comparative paucity Of receipts from the Upper
Mississippi is attributed by many to low waters
and high treights-by others to Il scanly surplus.
We hear, it stated, however, by those who are
in constant communication with traders at prom
ineut points, that large lots OF grain are held
ready Tor shipment, awaiting only fair opporluni-
ties for transportation.
1t is somewhat singular that with these liber-
al supplies, and fair prospects for their conlnu-
ance, that prices should be at the figures which
our market reports exhibit. Wheat, corn and
oats are nearly at twice The sum they commall-
ded one year ago.-St. Louis Republican, April

The WHEAT CRoP.-The abundant showers
which fell in Upper Georgia for more than n
hundred miles above this point, on Thursday
and Friday last, and again on Monday insure an
average crop of wheat, unless sume casualty
shall occur after this. We directed particular
attention TO the small grain crop in several OF
The upper counties in recent trip in that por-
,ion of the State. Upon their red lands, the
crop We think, has been materially hurt by the
la,e four weeks drought and we thiEk the stand
bad one But We walked through crops Of
wheat in Gordon county, after last, Thursdays
rain, that were the finest We thought we ever
saw. The farmers in that section, of whom we
enquired, seemed highly ealed with their pros
pect of a heavy yield.
We are sorry to say that we cannot report so
favorably Of the oat CROP Much of the fall
sowing vas killed, and the dry spring has left
but little chance for anything above an inferior
yield. The lateness of the spring sowing, how
ever, will oe favorable to the oat crop, provided
the seasons in May shall prove good. Upon the
whole, we are very sanguine that breadstuffs
must decline, and that all kinds of grain kept
back by the recent panic, will now come forward
TO our relief-Atlanta lntelligencer.
<.>--
The CRoFs. notwithstanding the dry weather,
look better in this section than we have ever
seen them. Corn, though backward, is remar-
kabIy promising, and the stands of cotton are
almost universally good. With fair seasons
from now till the crop is made, abundant yields
would most certainly ensue. The wheat crop
is also very promising and if no mishap befals
it, 4 will be much more than an average crop.
Such consummation is most devoutly to be
wished as "hard times" is around, both rs re-
CARDS something to- eat and the money to buy
with We have had one or two small showers
since our last, but nothing 10 brag on. We
understand, however, that a few miles below
this place on Friday there was very heavy
rain.-Brunswick Advocate, 9th inst.
RAIN AND HAIL-Since our last issue, We
have been blessed with copious rains. On
Thursday evening we had gentle shower, and
on Friday the hardest rain we have ever witness
ed, accompanied with hail. We learn that the
hail did very little damage Monday night there
was another heavy rain. From our exchanges
We learn the rains have been general. We have
information from various sections of our own
State, South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee,
and the accounts from ull are of the most cheer
ing character. In one week the prospect of q
famine has been changed TO that of an abundant
harvest, for which We should be grateful to the
Giver of all good gits.-Athens Banner, 10th

A GAY SCENE IN PARIs.-A late letter from
Paris, alluding 10 the preparations for the great

extract goodly sums from the pockets Of their
