us we may recruit by consumption, by volnn'

which he prefers, and he leaves the question,
upon which he has not shed single ray Of light, TO
which he has not contributed single fact or idea.
and from which he has not drawn any conclusion to
launch forth on theme on which he Is always at
home-abuse of the war and, as he calls them, the
war party. Such distinction between the adyo-

Mr. Golden to bring his cause before this ultimate

how on any popular principle, he can question

Movements of the Armies In the Crimen--
Viii Peace be Made or tfse War Continued.
[Fron the London Globe, Nov.
There are some curious symptoms in certain
quarters favorable to Russia at this moment.
The allied armies are reputed to be preparing to
winter where they stand; November has arrived;
and peace rumors fly about the Continent, born no
one knows where, and expiring as mysteriously as
they were born. Now it is Austria aud Prussia
who are connecting mediatory proposal; now II
is the Bavarian van der Pfordtcn and the Saxon
van Beust, who are described as impressng on the
mind Of the Emperor Napoleon the astonishing
and novel fact, that all Germany would support
serious offers of peace; and that King Ohio is,
like another distinguished person, an ill-used
man. Then we have great prominence given to
Russian correspondence from Orta Korales, and
head quarters OF the Russian army in the Crmea,
painting, in glowing coors, the gay and happy con-
ditioD OF the well fed Russian soldier; amply sup
piled not only with bread and meat, but pepper and
cabbages vinegar and meal, and g q measure of
brandy double that Of the French;" with time on
bis hands to improvse butts on architecture. princi-
cavalry are in admirable order; the innumerable
herds OF cattle astonish You with their good condi
ton; the pyramids Of -four and forage are immense
and imposing. In fact, Prince Gortschakolf CON-
MAIDS healthy army, devoted and proud Of its SER
vices" its immortal epop6e of eleven months'-an
army ready TO dare dangers. Z" which viii seem
mere sport after the glorious he'll of the MlskoE'
These words were written on the 1884 . Der,
two days before Prince GortschakoH issued hi or.
der of the day, telling the army that the Emperor
had given him full permission to hold Or quit the
Crimea-" that country where st. Vladimir received
the water of grace after being converted to Christi
aniiy.n Not willingly will we abandon this country,
says the gallant Russian General but there are
situations sometimes that render the firmes resolves
impracticable, and the greatest 50 rices useless"
he prudently adds, aud does. not. as it was
reported he did, declare that he viii defend the
Crimea to the last. No one who reads this ex-
traoIdnary niissve can fail to be struck by its
reserve, and the stress laid on the solcitudc Of
the Emperor, who ordered the construction OF a
bridge" from the south to the north side of Sebas
topol, $50 as to spare Russian blood "a much IA
possible" The fact which Prince GortschakoT
is most anxious to impress on his army Is this
that he has power to retreat from the Crmea if he
pleases: the fact which the newspaper correspond

W with, is the efficiency and resolution of the Rus
sian army to keep its ground Another newspaper
correspondent located at Smpheropol, writing on
the 13d October, eight days after the appearance
of GortsclakofT's order Of the day, Is equally

sition in the Crimea is S1iy stropg-tlat y u rre'
longed from the northern forts 20 Snlpheropol,
with posts on the Belbek and Alma, so that ali
possible operations are provided against. He ad.
mits that the movement Of the French upon Foti
Sa'a caused the left wing Of the Russians to march
on Albat, and he looks calmly the efforts made
by the Allies from Eupatora. Thus, with mpreg-
bable positions and ample supplies, the Russians,
he thinks, can afford to dare the enemy to drive
them from the Crmea.
These are, at least, "curous facts" the more
worthy of notice because they come direct from the
epemys camp. from his headquarters, from his
able commander; and are therefore the official
view, or rather tie view permitted by the officials,
of the state of things in the CriDea. Yet side by
side with these glowing pictures Of inexhaustible
supplies and inexpugnable positions, we read in
the Russian organ an elaborate article intended to
shoE that England is waging war or piracy, bri-
gandape devastation in which France cannot afford
to compromise her glory; that Russia desires an
honorable peace: that France desires an honorable
peace but that England stops the way. 1T is time
that France ceased TO shed her blood aud spend her
gold for an ally whose blood already fails, whose
gold may fail tomorrow" The real truth is, that
either Russia desires peace but il not vet willing to
