Tribute of Respect.
much lneii

At meeting of the members of the Hastings
Court of the city of Lynchburg, held on the 18th
July, 1855, the following preamble and resou-
tons were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, 1t has been announced that one Of
our body, JAMES NJ. BOYD, Esq departed this
life on yesterday evening, and whilst have
frequent and forcible illustrations of the uncertain
tenure of human life, yet, the peculiar eircum-
stances connected with the death of our friend
and associate, has produced a gloom in this
community seldom witnessed; and, participating,
as we do, in the general regret and sympathy, we
feel that n preamble aud resolutions afford too
contracted a sphere to portray fully the charac-
ter of one emnently useful in all the relations
of life.
Mr.. Boyd's integrity, benevolenoe, christian
virtues and public spirit have erected moau-
ment of affection in the hearts of our people
but eulogy we leave for other and ADLER pens
Resotred, That in the death of Mr.. Boyd, the
Hastings Court has lost one its most active ana
efficient members. society one of its brightest or
naments and public enterprise one of its greatest
benefartors.
Resoired, That we will attend his funeral ser
vices in body. this afternoon, and that the
Mayor, Clerk of the Hastings Court, Circuit
Court and City Sergeant be invited to unite win
US in this last tribute of respect to his memory
and that we wear the usu badge of mourning
for thirty days.
Resolred, Thata copy of these proceedings
be rendered to Mrs, Boyd by the Mayor and Re,
corder, with expressions OF our most profound
sympathy and regret at an event SO sudden anu
fatal in its termination. and that they be publish
ed in oar city papers.
And thereupon the meeting adjourned.

The War

We surrender the most of our space this morn
ing to the details of the late bloody fighting be
fore Sebas,opol. The English and French news
papers throw the blame of defeat ON the Com
manders of the Allied armies. The charge may
be just, but, general rule, the military crit
osns of editors who write a out matters of
which they are profoundly ignorant at the dis
lance of three thousand miles from the scene of
operations, should be taken with many grains of
allowance.
The sIege of Sebastopol will make grand i'm.
press on the page of history. 1t has been a war
Of giants and we doubt whether ancient or mod
ern annals record struggle terrific
We shall publish to morrow the address of the
French Emperor to his Legislative Assembly,
This address 6reathes n cheerful and determined
spirit. Napoleon gives signs of faultering or
backing out. Altogether, the prospect of a
long war is mos; cheering TO all those who like at
safe distance to watch the progress of battles,
sieges and massacres.

New YoiK P oiitics

The see,hing caudron of New York politics is
at this time in state of more than ordinary fer
mentation. TIE Philadelphia Gazette has the
following specuatons as the future movements
and combinations of parties in that State:
NewiYork politics are in a very unsettled con
dition, and we find much difficulty in ascertain
ing the identity and movements of parties \
State Convention has been called by the Repub-
can or Anti Slavery Fusion party, to be held at
Syracuse on the 22d of August. The same day
and place have been Fixed upon for the assem-
biage of sort of independent Democratic State
Convention recommended by meeting of Van
Buren, politicians held lately at Hudson The
purpose announced is the reunion of the Demo-
cratic party upon frs. principles, but the singu-
lar coincidence of time and place suggests the
idea that it is for the purpose of affecting fusion
with the Seward Republican party upon anti
slavery platform. Considerable discussion has
been going on in the newspapers of the State in
reference to such fusion, aud it has been gen
orally believed that the leading members of the
old Van Buren, party were decidedly in favor OF
the movement. As counterbaance to this,it is
pretty generally understood that the Hard Shell
or National Democrats, will unite with the Amer.
jean, or Know Nothing party. If these move
mepts be correctly reported, there will he grand
contest in New York State this fall on the slave
ry question. 1t may he asked what will become
of the Administration party To this the answer
isplain, that the Administration has not much OF
aparty in New York, except by the sufferance
Of the local leaders. The Hards all estrang
ed from it. and the anti slavery branch of the
Democratic party is entirely under the control o.
theVsn Buren, leaders. The patronage Of ths

THE COMMANDMENT BEGUN,

In lust retrbution for the disregard of their gen
eral to the good to be expected from short morn
ing's bombardment, they found the redoubts
swarming with defenders, aud guns bristling from
every embrasure. On them, as ON our own men
showers Of grape and canister mere poured ont

time whilst from tine whole semi circular line Of
parapet the crowd of rtemen sent volley after
volley into their disordered ranks, that passed
through them like n sheet Of mouten lead Three
tunes they gave way, and often rallied; some
three hours aud half, leaving the space between
the Manclon and Malakoif literally covered with
the dead and dying.
AN AWFUL SCENE.
With our men, the space to be passed over
| from our most advanced trenches to the Redan
was somewhere about seven hundred yards, and
| from the frs, moment of their rushing over the
parapei towards the point of attack. they were
met by the same awful and annihiatng storm of
canister and grape. Many fell within the first
dozen wards; and thence on to some broken ground
about midway in which the remainder sought
cover the field was strewed with the slain and
wounded. An officer present in the affair, and
who was one of the few who escaped uninjured
described the fire to me as being perfectly awful
much more severe, he assured me, than that

Next morning there was hardly gun fired on

during which messengers were sent hurrying
