Here is the letter.
[For the Gallipolis Journal M
Mr.. EDITOR: Permit me through the
medium of your columns, to present a
few brief remarks to your citizens, with
reference to the present state and future
promise Of your new academy. Having
been conyersant with the educational
matters of our country for many years,
it gives me pleasure to notice and bear
testimony to the general and steady i'm
provements, with the increasing facili-
ties every where employed, for more
general diffusion of knowledge among
the masses of the people, as well as the
ample provisions made for the higher
scientific attainments, mainly to be
sought, by all who desire them, in our
academies and colleges. OF the former
class of institutions, yours is now offer
ring educational advantages, which, il
duly improved, cannot fail to render it
the pride and ornament of your town,
and at the same time contribute largely,
to the common stock of useful knowl
edge among the rising generation Of
your own city and its vicinity.
have visited your seminary during
the past week, and witnessed the exer-
cises in each department, sufficiently to
satisfy myself, that the organization and
dieipline Of the school, are judicious, and
the mode of instruction, well adapted to
facilitate the progress of the pupil. The
teachers appear to be untiring in their
efforts to impart thorough knowledge |
of the several branches under their
charge, and the students, so far as my
brief visits enabled me to judge, we're
applying themselves with becoming in
dustry.
The societies that meet weekly for rea-
ding original compositions, and to en-
gage in other literary exercises for mu-
tual improvement, are worthy of COM
and if continued, under
proper regulations, must result in many
advantages, additional to the common
routine Of daily studies.
The trustees, think. have abundant
reason to be grati6ed, in having secured
The services Of board of instruction so
so efficient and persevering,
as those now employed; and the patrons,
hat their children can here enjoy ample
facilities for acquiring sound practical
education, or preparatory qualifca-
lion for entering on the more response
bic duties that await them in subsequent
life. Yours d.,
S. TOWN.

TEE WAR PoLIcf or NicHoLAs AM
lALExAxpxR CoSrRAsIEp.-An new SOW
ereign has ascended the throne. anG
maxims Of new and more audscioui
lpolicy seemed to prevail. The Empe
Iror Nicholas commenced the war agains
Turkey by the occupation of Moldavii
and Wallachia, under the impression
that it was utterly impossible 70 effec
a union between England and France
or TO concentrate upon himself the en-
ergies of two powers SO seldom hither-
to ranged on the same side. Had the
Car thought otherwise, there is very
good reason to believe that Menschikot
would never have been sent to Constan-
tinople, Gortschskof would never have
crossed the Pruth, and we should have
been spared the slaughter and misery
which will render the year 1854 memor-
able in the annals of the human race
Indeed, SO soon as the Emperor had
discovered his mistake, he showed un-
equivocal symptoms Of wish to retrsce
his steps, and defer his enterprise
against the Ottoman Empire to more
convenient moment. Srategical reasons
forced him to change his offensive for
defensive movements; and views Of
State policy had taught him the neces-
sity of assuming, at least, the semblance
and outward show of moderation. The
Emperor Nicholas gave his assent to
the four points as demanded by the al
lies, with what mental reservations or
concealed intentions we shall never
know, for the grave closed over him
and them Just at a moment when the
opening Of the Conference at Vienna
was about to put his sincerity to the
test. He died, that ambitious despot,
that Unsuitable aggressor; and, strange
to say, ,Oith him has died all hopes of a
reasonable or moderate aeeomodation-
all chance Of peace whieh both sides
may subscribe Without dishonor.
His son and successor was said to be
of milder temper than his father, less
grasping, less ambitious, and more ad-
dicted to the arts of peace. He has
only reigned six weeks, and in that
short period how completely have all
such illusions been dispelledl He who
inherited from his father a pledge to
consent to the diminution of the power
of Russia to the Black Sea, has solemn
ly announced TO his peopla his intention of
treading In the footsteps Of Peter, Of
Catherine, and of Nicholas. and incoked
the curse of HeaUen on his hand should IL
ever sign anything dero0ating in the slight
est degree from the poiOer and predoni-
nance of Russia. We were willing to
ascribe this outburst of arrogance and
fanaticism to the difficulties of new
reign, and the necessity of counteract-
ing suspicious raised by the reputed
of the young Emperor's
character. We are now fatally unde-
ceived. The Plepipotiaries of the Car
at Vienna, though protesting to nego-
tate on the basis of the four points, per-
rejects the proposition of
making the Euxine a neutral sea, and
any demand for the limitation of the
naval force of Russia within its waters.

Among those named for Governor s. p.

Nothings. The Cleaveland Leader. and
the Columbian of Columbus, publish a
ticket which it is said was devised at

composed as follows:
For Governor, Jacob Brinkerhoof. of

N. Olds, of Circleville; Secretary of

Attorney General, R. NJ. Corwine. of
Cincinnati; Public Works. H. H. Dodd,
ofToledo; Supreme Judges, R. G. Hurd,
of Knox, w. V. Peck OF Scioto.
The State Journal says it has received
a list of candidates also said to have
been selected by caucus of Z. Ms at
Cincinnati, within a short time. 1t diff
fers materially from the above. The
name Of G. D. Goddard, of Muskingum,
IS substituted for that of Mr.. Olds, for
Lieut.. Governor; James A. Briggs, of
Cuyahoga, is nominated for Treasurer;

for Board of Public Works; and W. v.
