Georgia, is out with o prodigious letter, laud-
ing Gen Pierce to the skies, and declaring that
bis sis the least exceptionable Of all the admin
istrations we ever ad-Washington's, Jeifer-
son'san Folks not excepted" This is cutting
it thick-very thick almost too thick even for
the soft sbells Of Tammany Hail. Our Georgia
enthusiast overlooks old Hickory, ignores Van
Buren,, forgets Gen. Harrison, Gen. Tay lor, and
Willard Fillmore, and gives the premium to Mr..
Pierce even over the head of Captain John Ty-

come of to day. In the former, a Governor,

YOUNG AFRICA ON A SPREE Yesterday the
free and independent abolitionisss in this city
and vicinity celebrated the anniversary of
British emancipation in the West Indies, by an
excursion and picnic at Flushing Long Island
They had great time, a. will be seen by the
report elsewhere. This was celebration got
up by the white folks, who monopolized all the
talk, and dissolved the Union several times.
Young Africa got up celebration on its own
account at Staten Island, shutting out their
white friends, Garrison, Oliver johnson, Greeley
4 Co. We regret that we have no report of
their doiDgs; but Young Africa did not adver-
tise its proceedings in the abolition Journals
the Times and Tribune which announced the
FjushiDg excursion for which our reporter duly
paid his half dollar, and found hia own forage
at further expense of thirty-seven and half
cents, according to the requirements Of the
official programme.
I A portion of the city delegation to the cele-
bration at Staten Island, passed the HERALD
office, in great state, escorted bya military COM
pany, at noon Here was Young Africa in the
ranks and Old Aftica on horseback; and the
corps really made a very creditable appear
apce.
The mounted gentlemen were fully uniform
ed and looked big with the dignity of the cha
peau bras, gold cpaulettes, crimson sasbes and
dress swords. The procession resambled one
that we have seen Of Faustin the First, Enpe-
ror Of Hayti, surrounded by the Duke de Mar.
malade, the Baron de Charlotte Russo, the
Viscount de Meringues, and others of the flower
(and water) of his nobility, only that our color
ed people looked ittle more dignifed than
Soulouque's newly created dignitaries.
We presume that we were specially honored
by this procession on accoun. of the consistent
course which the New YORK HERALD has al
ways pursued with the colored man-never
swirdlipg him out Of his money by false pre-
fences, as some white editors do, and
always hailing with pleasure any ef-
fort made to elevate his position in
the community, when originated by himself
and conducted upon correct principles. Young
Africa must 60 ahead and emancipate itself
above all, keeping clear of all white politicians
swindlers and loafers. immigration to Africa
is the only thing left for the colored man. He
is, like the Indian, becoming thing Of the past
in this country.

IHE NEWS FROM EUROPE-Tne "A Ia brings
no new o any material Importance. Politi-
caliy, strategically, and financially matters are
as they were. 1t was announced, it wi be re-
membered, by las mail that the fou tn bonn
bardment Of Sebastopo' had taken place; and
several of our LeDdon cotewporaries grimly
augured from the sententious brevity Of Simp-
sons dispatches that the assault had already
commenced. 1t appears their hum me SUPPOSE
ton was not justified by the facts Whether
the los Of life on the 18th OF June has terrified
the English and appalled, Pelisser, or whether
the strength Of the new works which the Rus
siaDs are erecting behind the Redan and the
MalaEoff has convinced the Allies that second
assault would be as fiuitless as the former one,
they remain quiet at their posts, and content
themselves with entrenching their position. It
SEE ms generally understood that the idea of
campaign inland has been definitely abandoned,
in consequence of the immense strength OF the
works which crown the defiles in the vicinity of
The allied camp. Experience officers have
been understood to declare that it would re-
quire an army of halt million of men to force
the way from the Tchsrnaya to Simpheropol.
The great--the real problem now involved In
the military operations in the Crimea-how the
Allies.are to get out-appears at last to be en-
gaeing some attention. Study will prove that
poor Lord Raglan was, after all, the most sen.
and that had his advice been followed, the
troops would long ago have been embarked,
and rescued from the fate which now threatens
them.
1t is understood that Lord John Rassells
place has been filed by the old Colonial Secre-
tary, Sir William Molesworth, politician who
held Office under Lord Derby. The change is
mere tub to the whale. Man for man, Russell
is worth more than Molesworth, and made
better officer. The fact is as we said in the
news by the last steamer, the British Parlia.
ment is so hopelessly sunk in decrepitude, cor
ruption and imbecility, that no measures
evincing sagacity or even a consciousness of
the pending crisis can be expected of it. A
full majority Of the members are sold, body
and soul, to the arissOcracy. They are ready
to support any absurdity, to resist any inquiry,
to bolster any ministry; so long as they do 50
in conformity with the wishes Of their patrons.
They are in fact nothing better than we'll bred
lackeys, and earn their wages conscientiously.
To blame them for rejecting Mr.. Roebuck's
motion-in which every maa in Eogland con-
curs-would be like reproving 'Jeames" for
having the soul Of fnnkey.
In trade no change has taken place. Consols
had not moved General Business had not re-
vived, and distrust continuing money still
sought investment Cotton had been duller
but rallied towards the close Of the week In
dian corn continued to fall, at the rate of three
shillipgs week: the other classes Of bread
stuffs were quoted as before.
