They DoS'T SEEM TO MIND IT.-The Al
bany Atlas, (read out some time before,) in
referring to the expulsion of John Van Buren,
from the democratic party by the Cabinet
organ at Washington says:
Every day, after the King of Tartary has
set down to his repast and eaten copiously of
horseflesh and drunken freely of mares milk,
he orders his herald to proclaim, through
portentious Ox-horns, to the North the South,
the East and the West, that "Whereas, he
the Brother of the Sun and Father of the
Moon, has dned, the monarchs of the rest
of the world are now permitted to sit down
and eat" There is but one parallel to the
condescensions of the Tartar chief. The
common scold of tho Washington Union
the very cream of Tartar in ncidity and shrcw-
ishness-assumes to read John Van Buren,
out of the democratic party. IL takes up its
ox-hom and blows it generously to the
southwark, pronouncing that Mr.. Van Buren
shall not sit down to the board with the de-
mocracy of New York till it gets through at
Washington. The proclamation will be
needed about MS much MS that of the horse
dining monarch from his tents on the steppes
of Asia, who regulates the law Of interna.
tional comfy with quite MS much authority
MS the Union does that of politics in these
States.
Pretty good for an outsider. Shouldn't
wonder if the softs, after consuming all the
spois, were TO contrive, as well as the rest of
the democracy, to get on without the admin
istratiOn.

WASHINGTON GossP.-A dispatch in the
New York Herald says: There are, see,
some doubts expressed about the advent of Il
new ambassador from Russia, but | repeat
that it is fixed fact. He will bring, besides
his regular credentials, n confidential commu-
nication from the Gar, of the most important
character, relative to the terms on which alone
Russia will consent to peace. What now
state will be known to the public in few
weeks. Russia media.ed between Great
Britain and the ULited States, and now the
United States may mediate between Russia
and the allies. She does not ask American
mediation, but will accept it, and will at once
indicate her terms, which as | stated in n
former communication, will embrace each vast
commercial advantages for all the world that
the industrial classes of France aud England
will clamor for their acceptance MS soon as
they are generally understood.

E7Y- A New Orleans Agency proposes to
test the practicabity and advantages of n
direct trade between the Southern States and
the Continent of Europe. Recent letters
from stable and cautious German capitalists
deem the present time especially favorable for
commencing direct cotton trade with Ger.
many, and express their conviction that it
will advance the interests of the planters

means that promise success in the establish
ment Of new markets for their important

now TO BE ECONOMICAL.

In times Ike the present, when the exer-
else of household economy is indispensable,
knowledge of the best method of attaining
it, in the purchase of articles of food, is very
requisite. In proportion to other articles, the
various preparations and compounds made
from corn are but little used, and yet they are
exceedingly varied, cheap and nutritious
Corn bread, for instance, which is staple ar
ticle of food at the West, and which can be
made very quickly, could, to a great extent,
take the place on our tables of the miniature
wheat loayeS which the bakers now dispense,
while meal cakes and puddings are SO seldom
prepared in most families, that they would be
esteemed as luxuries. Rice also possesses
many of the same recommendations as
corn. Almost every family, with the present
prices of marketing, could diminish the price
of liveing % per cent, by judicious selec-
tion of their provisions.

CASUALTIES OF TIE PAST YEAR.

We find in our exchanges tabular statements
of the crimes and casualties in the United
States, during the year which has just closed.
The total amount of property destroyed by
fire is estimated, in round numbers, at twenty
five millions of dollars. The number of per-
sons whose lives have been sacrificed by burn
ing buildings, is put down at one hundred and
seventy one. There have been one hundred
and ninety-three railroad accidents, killing
one hundred and eighty-six persons, and woun-
ding FIVE hundred and eighty nine. There
have also been forty-eight steamboat accidents,
killing five hundred and eighty-seyen persons,
and wounding two hundred and twenty fve.-
During the year six hundred and eighty two
murders were committed, and eighty four per-
sons were executed. In the State of New
York alone there were seventy-four murders
and seven executions, and in California sixty
four murders and fifteen executions.

THE WAR.

The Prussian mission to England did not re-
suit in anything of importance. The bill for
the enlistment of foreigners had passed the
English Pariment. Immediately after, Par
lament adjourned. The event Of the week is
Napoleon's speech to the Legislature. 1t is
warlike in tone, but makesno mention of any
prospect of peace. 1t was Immediately follow
ed by loan of 500, ,O00, 600 francs being imme-
diately voted. An important meeting of the
Representatives OF the Five Powers had been
held at Vienna, the result of which had not
transpired. Affairs before Sebastopol had not
changed. Sorties by the Russians are contin-
ued from the city, and one has been made
from the harbor. The allies have received IS,
600 reinforcements, and the weather is more
favorable for warlike preparations. The atti-
tudes of Austria and Prussia are unchanged.
Two Russian vessels of war attacked French
steamer before Sebastopol. Two English frig-
ates Immediately went to her relief. The Rus
slams retreated. The Russian bulletins gener-
ally claim important advantages over the be-
siegers. The Turkish troop at Kars were hard
pressed by the Russians. The Allies at Sc
hastopol were fully prepared for battle. The
third parallel of the French had amounted their
guns. Thirty thousand Turks, with division
of French and English artillery, were about 20

is rumored that the Russians made sortie on
the 18th, and were rcpulsed with a loss ofseyen
hundred killed and eleven hundred prisoners.
4 well directed fire from theRussian fortifca-
tions interrupts the enemy's works. Rein
forcements for the Allies were rapidly arri-
wing. Up TO the 18th twenty thousand had ar
rived. Ii is reported that the storming Of Sc
bastopol would commence Immediately on the
arrival of the Turkish reinforcements. The
French viii storm, while the British and Turks
viii attack Prince Menschikof. The Russian
naval artillery has been taken out Of the Baltic
feet and brought to Sebastopol. Notes were
exchanged at the conference at Vienna be-
tween the Representatives Of the three Allies,
defining the sense in which their cabinets un-
derstand the four points heretofore proposed.
Prince GortschskoG asked time. to obtain in
structions from his government. Private ad-
vices from London say that the course Of p0li-
ties favor the probability of a speedy terlni-
nation Of the war. Austria, it is believed,
will assume the offensive, and Influence all
Germany to her side. The people in the Ger
man States, ii is confidently stated, viii force
their governments 10 accept the propositions
of the Allies. Napoleon in his speech at the
opening of the French chambers, eUlogized
the victories of the French arms, in the Black
and Baltic Seas and the Crimea. He thanked
the British Parliment for their cooperation,
and asked levy Of one hundred thousand ad

fcient to meet all the demands Of the war.

to allow orderly, industrious and well-behaved
free negroes and mulattoes from other States,
to come into that State for lawful purposes,
on the permit of any Judge, or the Chancel-

who manifested an ardent interest in the sue

insure sufficient amount to construct the

The proceedings will be found at length in

a lively feeling was exhibited, that must tell
favorably, and that those who have taken the
matter in hand are abundantly able to accom-
plish all they desire. Ere long, we may look
