south have greatly magnifed the Importance
OF the question which unhappily divides

slaves into New Mexico and California. I

kossuth, in Il late letter to the New York
Times, states that the Allies have no idea Of
deprlylng the Russians of, or of driving
them from the Crlmea. This opinion is ex-
pressed In other quarters. The idea enter
tanned Is, that they will make no issue which
shall weaken Monarchy
''f, says kossuth. alexander Roman
of were President OF tho Russian Republic.
instead Of being the Autocrat of sxtv mil
hons OF slaves, and the orner-stone Of des-
potism, the Allies would carry on the war in
quite different way. The Allies, however.
desiring 10 keep despotism intact, are in this
wanton mode Of warfare perfectly logical.
Had Gortchakoif evacuated the Crimea. he
would have extremely embarrassed them.
They would have been obliged to keep il in
some way-and that il a matter which thew
neither dare nor can, If faithful to the adopt
ed programme. They dare not, because in the
fundamental Vienna protocol they soemnlv
pledged to Austria To leave, at all events.
the integrity of the Russian Empire intact.
which they pronounced to be. not less than
the integrity Of the Turkish Empire, neces
sary TO their own security, lis not this shame
fnl 2)--and they dare not break any pledge
given 70 Austria they rather submit 10 ey-
cry insult. Besides, | was saving that, faith
tu 70 this programme. they could not keep
the trimea. To keep it, they had to drive
Russia back from the Black Sea permanent
~; but that ~ impossible without Polish
campalgn-and that is precisely what the
western Powers are not willing 10 have.
Rather disgrace, ridlcule, nay, even defeat,
than harm Despotism and serve Liberty by d
Polish campaign. The logical consequence
is that they actually avoid to conquer the
Crimea.

a. We believe California has hitherto Of.

fered the finest field for the display of the
genuine 'Young America feeling.--a spir-
It of irreverence for everything human or d.
vlne,--that has ever opened between the two
oceans that for the present hem in our ter
rtory. From the Sacramento correspondence
q me San Francisco Chronicle we extract
the following Cahforniaish paragraph
" Last Sunday, attended divine service at

on one Of the back streets: and. having ON
tall shlrt~collnr, was ushered into a sent that
commanded view Of the whole house. The
reverend gentleman offered UP long PRAYER.

seemed TO have partiality for her own tune. \
and announced his text I'll. Thess. .. Q, be-
heyo,) Jesus wept." After detailing cat
alogue OF lnlquities that an auctionccr would
shrink from the contemplation of, and firmly
convincing his hearers that the devil had the
whole human family Sequro, mentally
CALCULATED, as an ddden0um 10 the text,
"4hd tceH he niiqhN" If many of those
who aspire TO divinity had devoted their tai
ents 70 the study Of physic, they would be
TAR more successful i'll pnrging mankind of
IipuFlt1. tfrianlN. II they occupied any
other station in life, their qualification would
be more severely criticised. However / am
willing to concede that there is more real
sincerity in these little one horse institutions
than is generally found in 'churchps making
greater pletcnsions."
CT The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger predicts speedy or
ganlzation of the House, and gives the fol-
lowing very sensible reason:
4 Financial CriSiS-The members of
Congress are beginning to feel a financial
crisis IN their breeches pockets. They can
get no money until the organization is effect
ed, and as many Of them had no more spare
cash than was necessary to carry them to
Washington City, they have since then been
living on tick. Landadies and boarding
house keepers are getting importunate for
the hrst instalment of their board bills. but
members have nothing to give them but
promises 10 pay as soon as they receive their
mileage. This latter circumstance NAV
probably bring the members to terms on the
Speakershlp quicker than any conscientious
scruples about wasting so much public time
and money.

ASTONISHING DIscoyERy.-The Philadelphia
City Item relates wonderful discovery
true-~in the daguerreotvpe art, by Mr.. Il. G..
Clark, of that city. Mr.. c. claims that he is
enabled To take an accurate portrait or da-
guerreotype Of the lungs Of living persons.
|, is a wen known fact that view of the in
terror of an ordinary bottle may be accurate
ly obtained; therefore, why may not. by a
somewhat similar method, mirrors be so ar
ranged as to obtain by reflection view Of
the lungs? By this discovery it is claimed
that much Of the charlatanry and empiricism
practiced upon consumptive patients may be
AT once detected, and the regular physicians
be given possession Of true knowledge OF
helungs, whether healthy or otherwise, aud
thus avoid, rs heretofore, prescribing wrong
y, or biindy treating for disease which
does not exist
