THE NEWS BY THE ARAGO.

The death of Lord Raglan appears to give rise
in England, as might be expected, to good
deal of morbid sentmentality, attributing it to q
heart broken by the structures of the Press upon
the Observation-Disclosures of the war. But though
the aristocratic party will doubtless avail them
selves of this mock lament, the attacks have
been directed in every instance more against
the system, which is really to blame, than the
men. The generous private qualities OF Lord
Raglan may receive the homage which is their
due, without affecting the rottenness of sys-
TEN of which he was the agent.
The absurdity ofthe English system, in awarding
prizes where no merit is DUE is shown on the
occasion of this death, where beside the liberal
pension to his widow, the people are made to
invest the interest of a capital of three hundred
and fifty thousand dollars in young man who has
never lifted a hand to earn cent. BY thus
squanderiDg the peoples money the dead are
not honored but the living are oppressed.
The detailed accounts, copied in our pa
per this morning, of the recent repulse of the
Allies by the Russians, confirm the worst sus-
picOns entertained in England about the utter
want ofjudgment and knowledge in the conduct
of military operations, and are calculated to
give fresh stimulus to the Reform movement.
The accounts from the Baltic bring no cheer
ing news of victory to England. rumor has
reached of the destruction of the little town
of Wystadt; but even this, unimportant if true,
requires confirmation,
simultaneously with the opening of the com
edy termed the Legislative Assembly in France,
we are advised of new French loan of $50, 900,
coo of francs. We can well account for the
spiritless, meaningless tone of Louis Napoleon s
opening speech, if he feels at length the impo-
tence of despotism, and in the eleventh hour,
when adversely softens him down and his ai.
plOmacy is humbled, he comes round to rely
"on the legislative bodies to give him the means
"Of continuing the war"
The Russians seem as triumphant in overcom-
ing the forces of nature as of their enemies. A
line Of Telegraph has been opened between
Odessa and ST. Petersburg, opening the way for
early telegraphic communication between the
capital and the seat of war.

Correspondence Of The n. Y Tribune.
BosToN, Saturday, July IL, 1855.
The statement in my last letter of the fact
that the Overseers of Harvard College had re-
fused TO confirm the nomination of Mr.. Eliot to
the degree of LII. d., has led to good deal of
comment in the papers and to still more in con-
yersation. The Daily Adeertiser drew attention
to the matter yesterday in two articles, in one
of which it called my statement a startling
&" disclosure" while in the other, with that I'M
rivaled illogicality which makes the venerable
Daily nearly as entertaining and instructive as
Mrs. Darlington to the curious student of
human weaknesses, it gravely remarked:
There is nothing surprising in the fact that the
fanatics who would not confirm Judge Lorng
Gas law lecturer, should be willing to insult
"geDtleman who voted for the Fugitive Slave
claw"
In the same Hibernian style of reasoning
The Adrsrtiser goes on to talk Of violations Of
pledges of secrecy, of breaches Of faith &C.,
while the whole tone of its article indicates that
before i made the disclosure through THE
TRIBUNE, it was itself aware of the fact of Mr..
Eliot's rejection. Now, as neither of the editors
of The Adrertiser is member of the Board of
Overseers, how could they, without breach of
faith" have got their information In the course
of its article The Advertiser represents me as stat
ing that Mr.. Winthrop "was honored with the de-
gree not on account of his attanments, his abil-
" ties or his scholastic accomplishments" but be-
cause Of bis hostility to the late Mr. Webster
said nothing of the kind. The Advertiser misap-
prehends the meaning of my letter. Mr.. Winthrop
presume, was nominated by the Corporation and
confirmed by the 0verseers because of his distin-
guisbed ability az a speaker and writer, and be-
cause he had occupied conspicuous and honorable
positions in the State and nation. dwelt upon
his confirmation by the vote Of FreeSoilers in the
Board Of Overseers, because it was indication
that their action on the nominations was not die
tated merely by political motives. If it had been,
Mr.. Winthrop, as political opponent, would have
been Of course rejected.
The FrQ&oilers, / suppose, in voting against
Mr.. Eliot, were actuated by two motives, neither
of them political. First, q conviction that Mr..
Eliot had no special claim to degree Of LII. d.;
they did not consider him sufficiently eminent to
be thus honOred by the first College in the coun-
try. And second, their feeling about the Fugitive
Slave Act is quite as much Of moral as OF pot,tt-
| cal nature / do not believe that any merely
| political vote of Mr. Eliot would have influenced
a single one Of the Overseers in the matter. The
Advertiser, of course, and the UniOn-savers gen.
| orally do not comprehend this. They do not per-
ceiye the atrocty the peculiar atrocity in moral
point of view of Mr. Eliots vote for the Fugitive
| Slave Act. They are not aware with what deep
horror and detestation the Christian and enlght
ened part of the people Of Massachusetts, regard
| it. The Boston Telegraph, in replying to The a.

SIX PERSONS BURNED To DEATH.

BsFFALo, Monday judy 10, 1855
most horrible calamity occurred in the town OF
Brant in this County yesterday morning between tie
hours of and O'Clock. James Thompson, farmer
IN good circumstances, was awakened by en- alarm OF
Ere and discovered his house TO be in flames, having
been fired by an ineendary in three places.
Mr. Thompson, who is an aged gentleman, rushed
up stairs Immediately on discovering what was the
matter to alarm his daughters when becoming over
powered by the smoke be was unable to return, and
himself his three daughters Julia, Mary and Mrs.

spirit ard act Of proseIytism they discovered
from other religion, of the time; for the con-
ouerors of old were not proselytizers. Ii they
overcame an enemy and laid him under tribute,
thew cared not about the catalogue of his gols
or the specialities Of his sacrifices. Nay more,
the deities of the subdued provinces were
duly installed in the Pantheon at Rome
with all the honors. Alexander toe
did homage at the temple of Jerusalem;
and Cesar invited the chief priests or poll
.icisus Of Gaul to Rome sud to seats in the Sem
ate. 1t was even held as a popular belief that
each country was so far under the beneficent
and vindietive protection Of its own gods as that
special acts Of impiety toward them would be
visited wish penalties. No place was supposed
TO be without its particular providence. The
philosophers especially made it a rule not TO
NEEDLE with the actual religion of the people
Five years of preparation was deemed by
P,tbagoras necessary before the vail was the
least lifted from the vulgar creed and the
threshold of the esoteric temple displayed.
But the let.alone principle was invaded
under the Christian preacher. To proselytiz,
was the life and soul of the new religion. To
cross seas and deserts, TO challenge tolls, expo
sures and dangers, to refuse pay, emolument and
honor-to deny home, country, friends, all for
the sake of the cause, was the msrtyr-spur to
the Apostles. Heroism without the worlds
rewards was the touchstone OF the teacher and
healer then. Paul did not go to Rome because
he was Roman in his feelings but because he was
Christian.
But neither Paul nor any Of the early Apos-
Ties would suit the First Presbyterian Church
(N. 81 in ST, Joseph, No. Not one of them
would have been "Soutbern" in his feelings

BURLINGTON, Thursday, July H. 1855.
Yesterday morning the people of our village
awoke from their slnmbers and found the streets
and public houses full Of very good looking
strangers. We all began to think that pleasure
travel had commenced ia good earnest, and yet
the appearance of the strangers on a closer
examination did not exactly confirm atopinion.
Their countenances wore different aspect from
that which pleasure travellers usually exhibit,
and the villagers wondered what it all could mean
There were no ladies nor children with them, and
they carried no magazines or last novels.
Late in the morning il began to be Whispered
about that the Know-Nothings were assembled for
the purpose of holding State Convention, and
such was the fact. One after another repaired to
Union Hall until four hundred naEles were regis
tered and there they took council together all day
and until IL O'Clock last night, when they adj
journed TO meet again at Bellows Falls some time
in August. Time enough was spent, not only %
save Vermont, but the Union also. Being an OUT
sder it will not be expected that can give any
sketch of their speeches or doings, but it is wei

THE LATE LORD RAGLAN.

The mail before the last brought word that in
the British House of Commons Mr.. Roebuck
had moved resolution attributing to the inefh-
cheney and want Of energy of Lord Raglan much
of those Crimean disasters which have set so
deep stain on England's military fame. The
mail Of yesterday brings US intelligence OF his
decease. In scornful mockery of small human
intrigues and plots, the angel Of death has
stepped between. Though Lord Raglan had
been suffering for some days from an attack Of
dysentery so severe as to lead TO the report that
he had resigned his command he had been grad
ually progressing to conyalescence until the 2Sth
Of June, when alarming symptoms developed
themselves and after few hours struggle he
expired.
Lord Raglan, or, as he was better known for
so many years, Lord FitzrOy Somerset, was the
youngest son of the fifth Duke of Beaufort, and
uncle of the present Duke. He was born in
l7ss, and was consequently in his sixty-eighth
year. The Somersets are of the proudest and
most ancient blood Of Britain. To travel back
to the source of their origin would be as hope

RUSSIAN OFFICERs AT THE NAVY YARD.-Yesterday
the Russian Consul General Alexis Eustapheve, Capt
1. X. Teernshein, Engineer in the Russian Imperial
Navy, and Capt. Alexander Sokolof of the Russian
Imperial Service, visited the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
After inspecting the various works in progress, they
went on board Of the North Carolina, the guests Of
Capt Colhoun and Officers, by whom they were most
cordially received. In honor to their rank and nation
the Russian flag was hosted at the fore-truck, and
saluted with eleven guns. The visitors were shown
over the ship and then adjourned to the quarter deck
where the party was increased by the addition of
several Of the officers duty at the Yard, and their
ladies, among whom where Capt. Hudson, with
his wife and daughter, Lieut.. De Camp and wife,
DIR. Ford and lady, and Purser Steele, and lady.
After some little time spent in conyersing, and
listening to the Band, the patty adjourned to the
cabin where they partook of an elegant collation., the
band on the outside meanwhile performing variety
of pleasing melodies. After lunch the company re-
turned TO the deck, and soon dozen young couples
were enjoy ing the delights of the waltz or Polka, un
der thick canvas canopy, which had been spread
over the deck while the more sedate sat in the cool
breezes from the Waabou listening to the gay music
and enjoying at their leisure the lively scene before
them Nor were the ladies aud gentlemen alone in
their enjoyment of the hour. The sailors, OF whom
there we're nearly six hundred on board, were as
much delighted with the scene as the officers

Thus several hours passed right pleasantly on, aud
then the visitors went away, with many aoknowedg-

them. Captains Teernshtein and Sokolof came to
this country about two years ago to supentend the

Government but in col seq ence of the war the work
