The Sons OF THE CzAR.-Accounts state
that at the battle of Inkerman, "thc Grand
Dukes did not come into fire. They stood
off on hill, out Of reach of shot, and con-
tented themselves with ordering up column
after column, to be moved down us fast as
they came within reach of the deadly FIRE,
which poured over the plain like hail. As
each column was repulsed, they vented their
exeerotions upon the commanders, calling
them towards, traitors and other hard names.
They did not trust their own precious per-
sons to the danger"

general assembly of democratic editors at
Nashville for the purpose of concerting mea-
sures to arrest the progress of "Know Moth

appropriate one for our brethren Of that
school. Perhaps ;he most efficient step that
could be taken in the premises would be to
educate and inform several of the moro pro-
minent of said editors.

ment of the claims of Texas creditors pro-
vides for the payment in cash, of eight and
half million Of dollars, on condition of full
releases to the United States, on behalf Of
all who shall accept the terms rendered. Tho
bill from the House Committee on Ways and

conditions. Among them are the following
The creditors are required to execute re-
leases not only to the United States but to
Texas. Texas is to execute n release TO tho
United States purportng that the sum paid is
in full satisfaction for all her claims upon the
United States prior to annexation. In con-
sideraion of the payment, Texas is to dis
charge the United States from liability for
the indemnity claimed on account Of her In
dian wars since annexation. 1t is thought
that if thus amended the bill will not be nc
cepted by Texas.

COMMERCIAL CONVENTIONS The Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin thinks that the machinery
of political gatherings can never be success
fully applied to commerce. Merchants, says
the Bulletin, are no Buncombe men; they
shut their ears to speeches and resolutions;
but they open them to the railroad whistle.
The Bulletin continues:
"To counteract the effect Of the northern
railroads upon southern cities, southern rail
roads must he built. But this cannot be done
5y Commercial Conventions, the chief business
of which seems to be to let off oratorcal gas,
and conceive and bring forth distractions.
This seems to be understood by may people at
the South, who hold aloof from the Conven-
tions and more protitably employ themselves
IA subscribing to new Railroads But the
Conventions really embraces these wiser and
true southern patriots; for they distract the
minds Of the people, and make many men
trust for their commercial salvation to a
resolution or a memorial, instead Of the active
use of their own means and energies. Perse-
yerance, however on the part Of the wise
few will ultimately triumph over the impedi-
ments Of the unwise many, and in the course
of wears, New Orleans, Nashville, Mobile,
Savannah, Charleston and Richmond Will
beceme great railroad centres. The Southern
trade will recover subsantinl vitality, and
NAV hold up its head alongside northern
trade. But then, too, the false distinction OF
North and South will be abolished for trade
will not recognize the imaginary lines of geo.
GRANNY. and the commercial Union of the
! States will, we honestly think, be the main
and enduring means of the political Union.

DEsPIsED HOUSEHOLD DUTIEs.-From n

DEsPIsED HOUSEHOLD DUTIEs.-From n
variety of causes, nothing is more common
than to find American women who have not
the slightest idea of household duties. A
writer thus aludes to this subject:
ain this neglect of household cares, Ameri-
can females stand alone. A German lady,
no matter how high her rank, never Iorgets
that domestic abors conduce to the health of
body and mind alike. An English lady, whe-
ther she be only II gentleman's wife or n
dukes, does not despise the household; and,
even though she has housekeeper, devotes
portion of her time to this, her happiest
sphere. Ii is reserved for our republican fine
ladies' to be more choice than even their mo-
narchical and arlstocratic sisters. The result
is n asstude of mind often as fatal to the
health us neglect of bodily exercise. The
wife who leaves her household cares to the
servants, pays the penalty which has been af-
fixed to idleness since the foundation of the
world, and either willis away from ennu or
is driven to all sorts Of folies to find en-.
ployment for the mind.
The Adlirals of the Russian Baltic fleet,
and the Generals having command in the
large towns on the shores of the Gulf of Fin
land, have been summoned to the ministry of
war at s.. Petersburg, where number of
councils have been held. 1t has been decided
that the Notifications of the coast towns must
be strengthened, and that cn,renched camps,
each large enough to receive an infantry di-
vision, must be formed near them. A system
of strongly cntrenehed camps, which is forth.

THE EXPECTED GREAT COMET-The emf
nent astronomer, NJ. Babmet, member of the
Academy of Sciences, gives some very inter
esting details relative to the return of that
great comet whose periodical course is com.
puted by the most celebrated observers at
three hundred years. Our cyclical records
show that it was observed in the year l04
1862, 6S2, 975-againin 1864, and the next
time in 1852, always described as shining
with the most extraordinary briiancy.
Most of the European astronomers had
agreed in announcing the return of this comet
in 1913; but it has hitherto failed to appear
In fact, it is not so easy or simple a matter to
compute those vast cyelical periods rs some
superficial persons-who do not look beyond
the day or the year in which they live-may
imagine different from this. We are, how
ever, assured by NJ Bubinet that, up TO this
moment, this beautiful star sis living on its
brilliant reputation;" 50 that Sir John Hers.
chel himself was wrong when he despaired
of its re-appearance, and put Grape on his
telescope We are now informed that a
celebrated and accurate computer-M. Bonn
me, of Middleburgh-with patience and
devotcdness truly German, has gone over all
the previous calculations and made n new
estimate of the separate and combined action
of all the planets upon this comet, of three
hundred years; and he has discovered that it
is not lost to us, but only retarded in its
motion.
The result of this severe labor gives the
arrival of this rare and renowned visitor in
August, 1856, with an uncertainty of two
years more or less: and that, between 1856
and 1860, those who are then living may hope
to see the great luminary which caused
Charles V. to abdicate.

The news is highly important. The Gar
uncond tioually accepts the four points; not
only the four points, but also the interpreta-
tion thereof as explained by the three Powers
No armistic is granted, consequently hostili
ties continue undated. The Cars sincerity
is doubted, yet it is uncertain whether the
Russians acceptance is unconditional or with
unimportant explanations. The immediate
effect was to cause consols to rise two per
cent, but afterwards fell off.
Sardinia has formally joined the Western
alliance. Prussia claims to take a share in the
negotiations, but declines for the present to
increase her army.
Omar Pasha has gone to the Crimea.
The Russians have recrossed the Danube
and retaken the cities of Tutulzchr and Du-
baudscha.
The seige of Sevastopol is unchanged though
there are reported rumors of its capture.

the Mersey and sunk her. Her cargo was
valued at 10000 pounds sterlng-no lives
were lost.

The conduct of Prussia and the Germanic
States is still equivocal.
The sincerity of Russia is much doubted.
The allies will insist on Russia's naval force

that Of other powers. At this point it is
expected negotiations will split, ss Russia
will on no account assent.
