THE ALLIED TROOPS.

THE ALLIED TROOPS.
A telegrsphic despatch led us into an error
as to the number Of the allied troops in the
Crimea. 1t is 225,ooO instead of 100000.
.s. KERTCH.
The neglect of the Russians to fortify
Kertch, and the failure of the Allies for SC
long time to attack it, are both equally in
comprehen sible, and reflect no credit on the
military sagacity and enterprise of either
party. .4sst
~I is common trick of the Free Sol
journals to represent Southern men as re.

tempt those Northern citizens who maintain
the constitutional rights of the South. Ifthe
readers of those journals believe such sto.
ries, they must be as great fools as their ed.
itors are knaves The South has no feeling
but of deep respect and admiration for the
honesty and courage Of those Northern men
who boldly front the storm of sectional and
fanatical passion in behalf of justice and
good faith. Itrequires no moral or physical
courage in these times to be an abolitionist
at the North. The brave men are they who
set themselves against the popular current,
and fight the battles of the constitution in
the face of its foes. The real "doughfaces'
at the North are those who float with the tide
of abolition sentiment, and have neither
principle nor nerve to stand up for the right
against the passions of the multitude.
