uThs Martha Washington case. about

uThe Martha Washington case, about
which so much has been said and did, during
the last two years, has at length been brought
to a final close in Helena, by the acquittal of
all the defendants. We always believed, af-
ter the result Of the conspiracy case, in Co.
lumbuS, that every other charge growing out
OF the burning Of the Martha Washington.
would result in the acquittal of the defend
ants. Whatever Holland and KisSane or any
Others may have agreed 10 do and done, we
never could, neuer TiH believe that Captain
CUMMINs, was or ever will be guilty Of such
Infamous rascality, either by being accessory
TO, or knowing OF the matter. We ale glad
that he has manfully met every issue-faced
every accusation, and came out unscsthed
from every trial. As an innocent man, he
stood up and faced his accuserS, conscious oil
his own innocence, he felt no dread from the
laws of his country. The trials have cost him
much time, labor, anxiety and money and
every humane man must regret, if he can find
no means of remuneration for all his trouble
and expense. We find in the Cincinnati CO.
lumbar, the following, and give it place in
our columns for the benefit of our readers and
those who have felt an interest in the case.

The seige Of sebastopol Suspended.

NOVEMBER 2S.-The war correspondent Of
the London Times says:
"Although, it may be dangerous 10 comnu-
nicate facts likely 10 be of service to the RUS
slams, it is certainly hazardous 10 conceal the
truth from the English people. They must
know, sooner or later, that the seige has been
for many days practically suspended, that our
batteries are used up and silent, and that
our army is exhausted by the effec: Of the ex-
ceSsive labor and watching 10 which it has
been so necessarily exposed. The russians
know this well enough. The relaxation Of
our fire is self evident; but our army we0ken-
ed by sickness, is still equal to holding its po.
%sitiou, and to infict chastisement on aSsail-
ants who may venture to attack. Nothing
would so ANIMATE OUT men, destitute Of all
stimulating influences beyond those of un-
daunted spirits as the prospects of meeting the
Russians outside their entrenchmenls, ant de-
gliding the campaign by the point of the bay

tween the Chasseurs de Vincennes and the
Russian riflemen in front of the flagstaff bat

all absurd myths about their being in want Of
pc @der and ball by most tremendous can
nonade. Assaults and counter assaults con-
tinued, amid a furious FIRE, which lighted up
the skies with sheets Of fame from nine
O'Clock at night, until four o'clock in the
morning. I he French penetrated behind the
outer entrenchments and established them
selves for a time within the 'luciente,' but as
there was no preparations for o general assault
they withdrew. Vollies OF musketry and SAL

lows, instantly, q sally, the result Of which
is invariable the same. The Russians push a
strong column Out OF The place, and rush to

times into it, and close 10 the second parallel,

the French covering parties with a deadly.
fire; they halt and fire in return, are charge
ed by the French, who route and pursue them
into the town, but who are obliged 10 retire

TThiS world is full Of Inconsistencies
The man Of business who swindles his credit
ors and fails for one OF two hundred thousand,
or, that many millions is a gentleman, and
above reproach-his soft hands and delicately
formed limbs were never made to wear the
shackles of a Felon or be incarcera:ed in the
walls OF a prison he belongs TO the well-born,
and his misfortunes are the source of much
sympathy. If the hard working mechanic, or,
industrious merchant, through the f~alseness
and treachery Of mankind, fails fer a hundred
or so, or, two or three thousand, he is branded
as a swindler and one upon whose counter
ance, hundreds had always seen indelibly
stamped the marks OF a william. Even though
his failure may not have been produced by any
act OF his own, yet there is no sympathy for
the poor man who fails through misfortune or
the ingratitude and basenesS of his fellow men,
and surrenders his all to pay his just debts, but
the scoundrei who plans and executes q failure
in order to cheat his creditors and line his pock-
cts, so that he may live at ease during the re-
mainder of his life on his i'll gotten gains, is
too often the recipient of much sympathy and
many %iavors, The world is apt to look upon
men as they seem-not as they are.
In Religion, there is much hypocrisy. -
Many find religion such a conve nient robe that,
they can slaneer and back bite their neighbors
as much as they chooSe-SuperIatively hate
any one who incurS their displeasure and yet,
go to The Sacramento Board and partake Of
the emblems of the broken body and shed
blood Of Him whose example they profess to
initiate, with malice, and envy, and hate rank
ling in their hearts. Oh, such Christians are q
stumbling block to the world, and that Relig-
ion which is evidenced by such fruits, may be
quite convenient in life, but will not answer
in the hour Of death. The world is full oil
inconsistencies
