When RoCucs Fail out. &c.

Bennett, of the New York Herald, for some months
past tremendous friend of the r. N. movement,
and ferocous enemy of the President and Cabinet,
from whom he did not receive foreign mission, has
lately discovered the most astonishing virtues in
George Law, the specuator in steamboats,, flbuster
ing and rusty muskets a who by hook or by
crook has made much money, and who can pay for
any service the Herald may do him.
Now Law for all his money is a coarse and un-
civilized person, and even with his money he don't
feel that he is quite the thing. He has sort of
cent per cent reputation and position, and that is
ALL but the bullying money-bag sights for political
distinction, and the chance for plumber that official
position would open to a man like him, up to the
tricks of trade and too energetic TO stop for small
scruples of conscience.
Strangely enough, too, Bennett sights for respecta
blity. He has talents of a certain order-has made
money, but wunts 10 make more. Is DIT the head of
the Satanic" press in the United States. The first
objects of his ambition, money and notoriety, have
been attained but after all he has personal respect
or consideration. 1t was by way of public certif-
cate of respectaby that Bennett wanted the mis-
sion to France. This was the motive of his praisng

Of unsuitable men, but he could be brought to

Hence, Bennett has turned against him with mos
malicious fury, and is going for g Sam" ant

thing in the event of the election CT the said Georg

The most important town the Sea of Azoff is

Russia. Amongst its public buildings are remarka-

Exchange, and about 10 warehouses. The fort or
citadel which protects the town is said to be in state
OF decay. Taganrog has 90 vessels of larger de.
scription, and 684 for the coast navigation. The
harbor is only accessible for vessels of nconsderab!e
draft. 1t was here that the Emperor Alexander died.
