KossUTH AND THE WAR.-Kossulh
whose speculations on the war hdsS
been singularly accurate, has 'writte1
letter to the New York Times, IL
which he expressed the opinion that
the fall Of Sebastopol lis but an insult
that does not take away the strength"
of Russia, and that instead of terminal
ing the war, it will so infame the
Russian pride that the Car, even
were he so inclined. could not live one
week if he should dare to sue for or
accept any conditions ofpeace. Kos.
suth also expresses the opinion that.
for the next winter and the next year,
the campaign will probably be restrict
ed to the Crimea, but that the naval
operations in the Baltic will be resum-
ed next year with augmented forces,
and on more effective scale. The
great war, however, he thinks, may be
reduced to a war by blockade, turn
of events which might have some bear
ing upon American commerce. True

BATON ROUGE,:::::::::::OCT. II, 1856.

A COOP SuaaEsr1oN.-People in
all parts of this lower country, have
been anz;ously awaiting to her the
Particular Of the election in Cincin-
matt; where it was anticipated there
would be trouble. So far, the tele-
graph says not word on this subject,
and agreeably disappointed must be
al law abiding men. and peace low
'ers. The Cincinnati Gazette and sew.
oral other papers come out in favor of
closing all the grog shops, on the day
Of the election. The Gazette says
talking on this subject: There can
be little doubt this would strike at the
root Of tie evil. Sober men do not
make fools Of themselves at an elec-
ton; at least as general rule
Bloody patriotism seldom appears at
election precincts till large amount
Of whisky patriotism disappears.'
We are on the eve of an election
in this state, and as far as Baton
Rouge is concerned, we should like
much to see the Cincinnati editors
suggestion carried out here. If cot.
fee house keepers, will come together
and mutually agree to close on the
day Of the election. it will do much
for the credit ofthe place. It is hard
to ask them to do so, since it would
be harvest day for them; but they
might open at night when the polls
close. and the thirsty wine bibers,
would rush in, and make up, for the
drouth. So there could be no loss
to them. If there is any heart-sickn-
ing scene, it is-a full grown man, stag
gering to the polls,- to exercise the
dearest right Of Republican citizen.
Who will take the lead in this mat
ter?

Willard Fillmore became President
Of the United States to the day that
his administration closed, he never
appointed a single Abolitionist, Free
soiler or Secessionist to office. The
consequence was, agitation ceased and
at the end ofthe year 1852 we heard
no talk of disunion or interference
with the rights of the Southern States.
Franklin Pierce came Into Office on
