APOLOGY" Gov. Bakers Aid complains
that, in our complimentary notice of him as
Assistant Editor of the Patriot, last week, the
word Assistant was 50 divided in the print as tc
read Assistant" &c.
Our apology is, that this was no work of ours
but the deviltry of our Printers Devil, who has
consented to be exposed, on condition that We
give his reason for the trick, which is, " that as
the valiant Colonel had began to classify Editors
ss various four-footed animals, and had himself
brayed so loud lately, it was thought there could
be no mistake as to the place he should occupy
in such a classification
For ourself, we confess we were much surpri-
ted ct the ColOnels self-application of this
harmless little, un-talicised syllable for we had
not the least intention of designating him as
the YOUNG Ass Editor of the PATRIOT and had
we supposed he had any latent consciousness
which could have prompted such an application,
we would have written the unlucky word with
out any at all and should we make honorable
mention OF him again, we will be careful not to
put an and two y in the same line, lest he
appropriate them in the same manner.
A story Is told of q nobleman unblest with a
foolish son, whom circumstances required he
should have present with him at dinner party
when the anxious father said to him :. Now
my son, you look well enough, and they won
instruct you are fool unless you speak; &c
don't say word
At the table one of the guests happened to ad
dress SOME simple question to the anf.rtunat,
lad, who, dearous of obeying instructions, mad,
no reply; and the question being repeated sew
sral times, with the same result, the questione
got vexed, and muttered, why, the fellow mus
be fool
Father" exclaimed the poor lad startin,
up in alarm, " Father Father they hav
found me ont already 4"

From the seat of war the most important
statement is that the Allies had opened Their
fire upon Sebastopol and with good effect.
The Vienna peace conference was formally
inaugurated on the fifteenth of March. Homes

the fury of the Gar in his own cherished
stronghold. Austria has shown the g gigantic
ingratitude" which Russia was some time
since warned to expect. Prussia is at least
no longer safe to Russia. A small state has
contributed an army of $4,000 men to the
allies without even the cerimony of declaring
war. Thus the whole world is rising in sue
cession against the common enemy. AT this
last passage of his fortunes we have seen the
Gar ever rising with the occasion defending
his policy, protesting against that of his foes
opening negotiations fighting at once with
words and with arms, weighing phrases and
organizing measures.
We have Just seen him stamp, as it were,
on the ground, and call new armies from Its
surface. We have seen him arm the whole
empire We have seen him set in motion the
whole Of his million armed men toys the
south, directing routes, and preparing maya
zines at the extremity of his empire we have
seen him send two sons to the battle, and even,
it is said, prepare himself to follow; we have
seen him pledge to the very utmost the credit
Of his empire to obtain the necessary resoar-
ces; there is not an act Of government or Of
conquest that We have not seen him perform
on the direst emergency and the vastest scale
Seriously menaced along many thousand
miles of frontier by land and by sea, the en-
envy within sound of his capital, with his for
tresses beleagured Or actually destroyed, hi
commerce shut up, his merchants ruined, he
nevertheless, with his own vast intellect, dl'
rected the whole war and maintained the re-
sistance Of that one egis, as it were, against
iunumerabIc dangers. There never was the
man-nay, we hope there never will be-oi
such an adamantne frame as to stand this
superhuman task
In this iellest struggle and this darkest hour
the Emperor Nicholas still Tightening his
grasp, still stretching his ken, still welding
more gigantic weapons, still calling louder tc
his vassals, and rising higher in his tone, al
the fullest tension of his heart, mind and sou!
and every sense preternaturally quickened tc
the last has suddenly succumbed to the law
OF motality, snapped at full bend fallen al
full fight, and, like that most formidable foe
of his house, whose representative, by strange
chance, he has seen ooce more invading his
soil,-
Left name at which the world grew pale,
