To THE PoIST.-We have never seen
scriptural quotations more APPLY applied,
than in the following dialogue, which took
place at the table of Bishop Doane:
1t is stated that Bishop Doane,of New Jer.
scy, is strongly opposed to temperance. A
short time since, Rev. Mr.. Perkins, Of the
same denomination, and member Of the or
der of"Sons," dined with the Bishop, who,
pouring out n glass of wine, desired the rev.
erend gentleman to drink with him, where
upon he replied:
:" CAN'T do it, Bishop, wine is mock
err"
"Take glass of brandy, them" said the
distinguished eccesiastc.
Cant do it, Bishop, strong drink is rag
ing"
By this time the Bishop, becoming some
what FESTIVE and excited. said to Mr.. Per-
kins:
"You'll pass the decanter to the gentleman
next TO you"
"No, Bishop, can't do that, 'woe unto
him that putteth the bottle to his neighbours
lips" -.
What was the peculiar mental condition
or moral state of the Bishop at this stage
of the proceedings our informant did not
state

Describing the recent storming of a Russian
redoubt by the French, the London Times
Roys.

Describing the recent storming of a Russian
redoubt by the French, the London Times
says:
1t appears by The last accounts that the
purpose Of the allied generals is still fixed on
the prosecution of the siege by means of
bombdrdment, followed by an assault. Two
experimental attacks have been made bv the
French in two different ways, which serve to
show that 1t Is not easy 70 gain an advantage
over an lndetatigable antagonist. Ii appears
from both the Russian aud French reports
that In the night Of the 2lst of February the
Russians succeeded in throwing up with great
rapdity new redot1bt on the right bank of
the careening ha!boa. Within forty eight
hours Gen. Canrobert resolved TO force this
new position, and the attack was made be-
fore the work Had been completed. A large
Body d French troops, under Gen. Moueto;
advanced IN the night of the 2Sd, against this
redoubt The Zouaves rushed upon the in
Irenchments with the utmost braverr, and 1
sanguinaty contest ensued which cot nearly
800 of lh,se admirable soldiers The Rus
sian infantry regiments of Selenghnski and
Volhynla, under Gen. Kroustchof defended
the work With great steadihess, and after n
severe COMBAT the French column was com
PEELED to retreat. This unfortunate result
has been attributed to several cause.-the
disclosure by spies of the French plan of at
tack, the fire of the Russian vessels in the
harbor and from the surrounding forts, and a
want OF steadiness on the part of one portion
OF the assallants, who are said to have left
the ZOuaves to bear the brunt of the engage
ment.
We are unable to determine with certain
ty what amount of truth there may be in
these statements but it is undoubtedly true
that the Russipns appear to have expected
the attack, and had occupied the position
with small army rather than with detach-
ment in proportion to its extent. On the side
of the French the force consisted of only half
brigade of Zouaves, 900 strong two bat
tallIons of marines $500 strong, and 400 vol
unteers, in all less than 1900 men. The
Russians were 10000 strong, and the unfortu-
nate Zouaves fell into regular ambuscade.-
| Nevertheless, such was tn dauntless vigor of
these troops that they stormed the redoubt
and held one half of it against fearful odds
when the Russians succeeded in outfianking
the column the marines were separated from
the Zouaves and driven back in all directions
and the latter were completely surrounded
| by the enemy. A second time they succeed
| ed by sheer hand to hand fighting, in com
| pleting the capture of the redoubt, but no
! sooner had the Russian infantry fallen back
than the batteries and ships opened terrific
fire upon the work and rendered it complete
| ly untenable. 1t was not till then that Gen
eral Mouet who was twice severely wounded,
ordered a retreat, and though the night was
disastrous from the loss of many Hundred
lives and the failure of the chief object, the
gallantry displayed by the Zouaves was such
that this repulse may well be ranked with
! their most brilliant achieYements
