TUESDAY MORNING.. .SEPT'R 4, 1855.
We shall probably have stirring news this week

We shall probably have stirring news this week
from Sebastopol. The late successes of the Al.
lies AT Sweaborg and Tchernaya, aud the elabor
ate preparations which they have been making
for another and more determined assault on Sc
hastopol lead TO expect intelligence of some
more decisive advantages gained by the Aliies
than we have yet chronicled. II they shall have
succeeded in carrying the outer defences OF the
garrison. and IRE enabled TO maintain themselves
there. the ultimate reduction of the city will DO
no longer questionable. but will be mere mat
ter of time. Indeed whether advantages have
been gained or not there is no art or power IN
man to contrive means of defence that VIII not
finally Weld 10 the tremendous engines OF war
which have been playing for twelve months tasi
upon the walls of sebsstopol. If this work Is
continued, no earthly device can bold out against
it. 1t is only a question whether the mans
of assault may not become exhausted before the
end is accomplished. But whether Sebastopol
falls or not the defence she has already made
against one of tho mightiest forces that eyer sat
down before city, will figure very grandy IN
history; while the reputation of Russia for Prov
ess and skill in war has already risen many de.
gftes.

scRTPTuRE PREDICTIONS AND THE
EASTERN WAR


A.. contemporary ren1 hrks, everything that
:. turns M " Is founsl by somebody on other
in the prophecy Of Daniel and the Book Of
Revelation. A popular Scotch; preacher in
london. DR.. Cam ming, finds the present
war very plainly set forth in Ezekiel. He
ouotaa from the eminent English divines,
bishops South and Horsley, to show that
thew concur in his exposition. He gathers
from the prophecy, that the Russians would
be arrested in their course for little by
quiet. supposed by us to bea peace) but only
to accumulate again - gigantic avalanche.
driven by irresistible force towards Paies-
tiae. Germany would unite with Russia,
which would sooner or later possess the
Mediterrafean, seize Palestine, and on its
plains, in the language of the prophet, finally
perish amid the judgments of Heaven
Such is the Interpretation of the 3sln
chapter of Ezekiel by DIR. Cumming. we
prefer to reserve our opinion till the end
of the war.

FASHIONABLES AT THE SPRINGS,

rACu1ONAbLES Al 1dE SfhlN6S.
Among the peculiar and delicious effects
of some of the mineral waters of Virginia is
the manner in which they operate upon the
passion for social distinction. In this respect,
they resemble the waters of Saratoga and
other famous fountains Of health and good
manners in the Northern States. 1t is only
of late years that any of our Virginia Springs
have begun to reveal this, their most potent
and desiderated quality. Formerly, they
were the resort of plain, homespun Virgini-
ans, who, though they could trace apurer &C.
nealogy than old Boston, Eclipse, or Sir Hen
~, were well content to allow plebeian nags,
dray horses and plough horses of low degree
to graze in the same pastures and drink at the
same waters with themselves But our blood
cd animals of late years, especi ally when
they drink of mineral streams, are getting
beyond themselves, and almost bursting with
oats. sulphur and selfcomplacency. Any
one Of the lower orders" that approaches
their charmed circle, is looked upon with the
same favorable regards that an eagle, soaring
in his pride Of place, would look upon an as.
piring turkey buzzard. 1t is becoming evil
dent that some Spring ought to be set apart
for the patricians and some for the plebeisns
by which mode of applying the waters, the
bowels Of society would be relieved of much
irritation, and even commissions.
We are thankful. however, that the phase
of social life to which we have referred !.
