SUSPENSION OF SPECIE PAYMENTs.-The Jour

evening, says: ...
The market is stiIl unsettled, chiefly on account
eff the European troubles and the fears of farther
heavy shipments of specie The usual shipment of
about 100000 in specie viii go forward from one
house here to leave Boston on Wednesday, and we
learn of some smaller of no great impor-
lance in the aggregate We do not look for
any suspension of specie payments eitherin France
or England. In these days when money Is the
sinew of war, and capital is to great extent the
real test of strength, confession OF national bank
ruptcy is an acknowledgment of defeat, and both
allied powers will make great sacrifices TO avoid
such humiliation

the grave yard they again called for more grog,
which Mr.. j. declined selling The man made use
of some unbecomng language, when Mr. J. order
ed him TO leave the store, and his not doing so,
Mr.. j. put him out. In short time the elected
man returned with two of his comrades who COM
menced using very abusive language, when Mr.
HAYES the clerk, threw 4 two pound weight which
struck one of them the forehead The party
after this left the store and after proceeding some
two or three hundred yards the man laid down and
died The party, about thirty in number then rallied
and attacked the store, demoshing the windows
and destroying the goods Mr.. Jump sent to some
of his neighbors for assistance, and number of the
villagers, armed with clubs, axe handles bars of
iron and stones, soon assembled and attacked the
Irish with such impetuosity as to speedily drive
them from the premises. In the melee many were
wounded, and four badly that they died that
night or the succeeding day, making five deaths in
all. None of the villagers were seriously hurt

the population at from sixty to one hundred thou
sand persons which, if true would entitle the
ritory to admission into the Union State
These people, he SAYS are mostly active and in
dustreus-n fact, the most industrious community
he ever saw. They are strongly devoted to their
religious faith, and many of them are persons of
excellent character, though too many others are
basely corrupt
Of Governor Young, he remarks that he performs
more bodily and mental labor than any other man
in the territory. A splendid mansion is being built
for him. said to be nearly capacous enough to hold
his whole family-no trifing matter by the way
Another fine dwelling is being built for the Secre-
tary of the territory. Mills and factories are in
operation in all parts of the territory where settle

city, is spoken of as superb in design. One wing
is nearly completed and win be in readiness by
the second Monday in December, at which time

upon them. The direct objects of the
war imposed, therefore, upon the Allied
fleets the necessity Of destroying Sevas-
topol, if possible. England and France
went into the war from fear Of the ex-
tension of Russia to the Mediterranean,
by which the line Of operations of each
of those Western Powers with their
distant possessions might be cut OIL
France maintained her intercourse with
Algeria, and England hers with her
East India possessions, by way of the
Mediterranean, which Russia desires to
control. The destruction Of Sevasto.
pol will stop the growing strength Of
Russia and in a Southern direction and
in a southern direction, by means of
the fleet which she has been building up
there since the Crimea came into her
possession, in 1898. We cannot sup.
pose that a step of such vast importance
can be taken by the Allied powers
without encountering all the opposition
from Russia of which she is capable
That such step was one of the great
objects of England and France in en-
tering the Black sea has been openly
proclaimed; but it would be equally ap.
parent had it not been proclaimed. IT.
therefore, the whole strength OF Russia
shall not be put forth to defend Sevas'
topol. it will appear that it has become
the policy Of Russia to conquer, not by
her active energies, but by her capaci'
ty of endurancs--by crawling into her
she'll like tho tortoise, and waiting till
her enemies are tired by their blows.
Demos,henes, in one Of his orations,
mentions that Athens imported from the
Crimea annually between 100000 and
400, 900 medimni of grain. twas con-
sidered the granary of Greece.
"This peninsula has been known for
more than three thousand years, since

story, which though mixed with fable
is yet we'll founded in its principal facts.
The mountainous parts are inhabited
by the Tauri, probably a colony of
Scythians; while its coasts on tho west,
the east and the south, were occupied
by Greeks. The Scythans were driv.
en- out by Mithridates, the Greeks by
the Sardians, and these again by the
Alrni and Goths. a northern horde Of
.Scythians. The Hungarians, the Cos.
sacks, and Tarars, succeeded in their
turn; and the Genoese in the 18th csn-
tury held temporary aud precarious
possession Of the seaports, which they
were obliged to yield to the Turks, in
1475. At the peace Of 1774, the Tar
,ars of the Crimea were declared indie.
pendent, and in 1888, this peninsula was
definitely united to the Russian empire

A Gipsy Robber.

For some weeks past several band ofso-
called Gipses have beenprowling through
this and the neighboring counties. Some
ofthem visited the Warm Springs, in Bath
and while there one Of The number stole
about $1,000 from a colored man named
Charles, surnsmed "My lord" By dint
of industry and economy Charles has man
aged 10 accumulate quite fortune, but
unfortunately for him in this instance,
increase of wealth has not diminished his
tendency to credulity and supersttion.-
| A Gipsy woman we are informed, told
him thai if he would let her have $1,000
in specie she could make it grow TO a
bushel full. Charles produced the money;
it was locked up apparently, in trunk;
the woman mumbled and made some mys.
terious passes with her hands, and then
left 10 return in four days during which
time the trunk was moi to be opened
She did not appear again, and when the
trunk was opened it was found to contain
nothing but pieces of lead and coPper!-
As soon as the robbery was discovered, ,
Charles procured several gentlemen to 60
in pursuit Of the vagrant. One of the
gentlemen, from whom we indirectly
learned these facts, passed through this
place a few days ago, but the thief has
not been heard of-&auaton Spectator.

KOSSUTlI A PROPHET.

How like the predictions Of Seer,
do tho speeches Of Kossuih made be.
fore the Allies invested Sevastopol, read
at this hour. What u wonderful grasp
of probabilities aud consequences ari,
sing from the present aspect of Euro
pean affairs he possesses, growing out
Of his old experience, aud lis recent
closet studies.
Tho following is Il passage from q
speech WHICH lie made il Edinburg, i'm.
mediately after the expedition to ScSas'
,opol had been resolved upon.
"To take an cntrenched camp. link
ed in by terrible fortresses, and an army
for q gurrisun in it. and new armies
pouring on YOUR flank aud rear, and you
on the plains of the Crimea, with also
no cavalry to resist them. is an under.
taking, to succeed in which, more for.
ces are necessary than England and
France eau ever unite in that quarter
iur such an aim, Ask about it which
ever staff officer who has learned some.
thing about tuctics and strategy. And
in thar position is Sevas,opoI, thanks to
yonr Austrian alliance, which intcrpo-
sed herself between you and your en-
emy in Wallachiu, nude the Gear freq

rain, shall see Aibioa or GalIia dgai@.-
But | will tell yuu in wha, manner Sc.
vusropol is to be taken. IL is at War
saw that yoe can takc, Ssr,stopOL." n
The event has certainly shown that
in those opiuions Kossulh evinced far
more sagaciry than thepublic men and
writer's Of England and France, who
predicted with so much confidence the
speedy fall of Sevastopol. 1t is nov
universally conceded that the siege will
be much longer, and more difficult than
was at first imagined. Kossuih insisted
from the first, that Austria, by her neu-
tralily, relieved Russia from oil appre-
hensions on TINT frontier, and thavsshe
could therefore pour reinEorcementsin-
to the Crimea lp,apy extent.
