Rarharities of War.

When the Allied forces entered the Russian town
Of KertSch the people made no resistance, but Of
feed bread and salt to the conqueroTs in token Of
entire submission. There vas no pretence or pro-
vocation for erocity, and the wretched Inhabitants
assured that their lives should be spared and
their property protected. But after the body of the
Allied forces had marched on to Yenikale the SOL
dieIs that were let in possession of Kertsch car
Iied havoc and destruction through every street
and alley Of the unresisting town. We had at first
only accounts Of the wsnton destruction Of furni-
ture and buildings and the sacking Of the ancient
and invaluable Museum. The worst features OF
horror were carefully concealed, and have only
come 10 light by piecemea in private letters from
the scene. There is no longer any doubt that the
most cruel and brutal outrages were committed
upon the helpless inhabitants of Kertsch. Women
were violated and infants speared by the savage
Turks. Says the London Morning Chronicle:
eve ATE plainly told that pillnge and destmc.
ton were moi the worst excuses committed. The
hrutaliteS peTpetrated OH the unfortunate inhabi-
InntS were of too revolving character to admit
Of publication. Much stress has been laid upon
the sack of the Museums, and the destruction of
its most precious contents. Deplorable, no doubt,
Is such Vandal folly, but catastrophes Of this kind
"Ie HoI easy u prevent ia wa. w HA1 We Ieel

Oarbauus cruelty exercised on the inhabitants

True, some attempts were made 10 maintain order

One wretch, we reioiced to hear, nghteousIy

methods of warfare, we will have nothing to do
with such abominabe practices. Far better would
ii be for our cause TO send every Turk Low in the
GEmea back to Yarna, rather than contaminate
our troops by such peTnicious example rather
than involve our country in the guilt attaching TO
to all who are concerned IN these outrageS."

DWe take pleasure in publishing the tollow-
ing resolutions Of the County Court, upon the oc-
casion of the presentation of some books To the
Jail, by the Cd Presbyterian Church of this city.
We commend their example to the public gene
rally, and wish there were more Howards ready TO
extend their aid to the unfortunate criminals, who
too often find their entrance into PRISON but the
commencement ofwickedness. Who can say how
far the penlsal of these volumes, attended with
that deep reflection which solitary confinement
affords, may tend to recall one of these erring I'M
fortunates from the error Of his ways aud direct
him to that course OF conduct which makes man
respected in this world, and prepeEes him for his
entrance into the next. May this example be Of
ten initiated, aud the community will be indebted
to their effort for reformed and reclaimed crimi-
nails who might else have gone OH from step 10
step down the ladder of crime until the gaIIows
would have proved the goal of their progress.

Keaauth on the war.


Mr.. Bright. during a recent speech on the Con-
duct of the War, and the Expedition TO the Cri-
mea, quoted the following brief passage from
speech made by KosSuth, at Glasgow, on the 9Th
of July, ls54-iust after it began to be rumored
that an attempt was to be made to capture Sc
hastopol.
''I don't think you can take SebaStopnl by sea.
1t would cost sacrifices that you neither can afford
nor risk. Aud as to taking it by land, TO take an
entrenched camp, inke'i by terrible Gorresses and
aI army for garrison in it-[hear, hear, land new
in the plains Of the Crimea, with almost no cava-
~ to resist then-that is such an Undertaking 10
succeed III which more forces are necessary than
England anu France can ever unite in that quar-
ter for such an aim. You will be beaten! remeIn-
Der my word. Your braves will fall in vain under
Russian bullets and Crmean air, rs the Russians
fell under Turkish bullets and Danubian fever.-
Not one out of FIVE OF your braves, thus immola
ted in vain, shall see Albion or Gallia again.
Hear, hearl."
Mr.. Bright added that:
elf one OF the old prophets had arisen in your
midst, speaking unrer the direct inspiration of
Heaven, he could not more exactly hPYe pointed
outthe desperate expedition which you were about
10 undertake, or the frightGuI disasters which you
were entallIng on your country"
Events have certainly verified, TO most re-
markable extent, the accuracy Of KossutRs pre-
dictions in regard to this expedition. The expIa-
nation is, doubtless. to be found in the fact that
Kossuth had more thorough and complete knowl-
edge of the country to he invaded, than any other
man in England.
