BISHOP ATKINSON'S ADDRESS.
We have recently printed, for the Historical So
no haforn he historical
Society of the University of North Carolina, June
g. 1858 by Ri. Rev. Bishop Atkinson" The sub
ject of the Address is the character of Oliver Crom
we'll Bishop Atkinson exhibits familiar acquain-
lance with history, and with the great men who
stand out in it, like light houses upon the seacoast,
to guide and after ages. He has evidently
given no nconsiderable degree of attention to the
study of Cromwelrs character and Cromwells times;
and the view he has taken of him, though it may
not meet the entire concurrence of all the students
of history will nevertb eless excite interest and
mand respect among readers of all shades of opin-
ion for its cearness, its fine discrimination, for the
admirable contrasts drawn between Cromwell and
other world-renowned characters, and for the pro-
found knowledge of human nature which it exhibits.
As literary production the Address certainly pos
sesses much merit. We hope to find room soon for
extracts from it.
Mr. Fllmores European tour has bound foreign
nations to America with hooks of steel. Without
pride pomp or ostentation, he shakes the PEASANTS
hand with far cordially than he does the kings.
Hilton ChronicLe
Is it possible? What foreign nations ?"-thats
the question:. And then again soh0t right-mark
us, Mr.. Evans -soAat right has Mr.. Fillmore to be
hooking and "steeling foreign nations to this
country? That's another question. And tnen
again, oohat right has Mr.. Fillmore, as peaceable
and just man, to slight the Kings of Europe by shak-
ing the hands of peasants with more cordially than
ne does their hands? Beware, Mr. Evans be
ware, Charles you stirring up war between the
two Continents All, but how simple Mr.. Fillmore
is!-no "pomp," nor PRIDE" nor ostentation %
he just says " how are you, Mr.. King-and how
dedoo, Mr.. Emperor "-and passes on. We trust
some friendly and well-disposed person in Milton
will give Evans a talk. Thrashing about thus. and
lying about loose" in this manner, like Major
Joness milk, he'll do damage to something some of
these years.
LATEST FOREIGN NEws.-We have the latest'for-
egn news by the steamer Africa.
There is nothing of interest from the Crimea, ex-
cept that the Allies intend to soon bonn
bardment of the north side of Sebastopol.
