The Present State of the War.


The war has now entered into one of those pc
RODS of pause and inaction which, even in the
most stoutly maintained contests, must of necess-
ty intervene. Winter has closed the Baltic against
further repetition of those maritime promenades
which, with the little interlude of Bomarsund,
hsve employed the energies of one of the finest
fleets that ever left the shores of England. The
same cause has put an end to the campaign in
Armenia, and Turks and Russians may there re-
sign themselves for the next six months to a
peace guaranteed by the imperious Intervention
of frost, snow, and ice. On the bank of the Dam
ube the fame of war has burnt out, the Turks have
neither food, clothesnor military stores sufficient
for seriously offensive movement, and the Rus
SLAMS have betaken themrelves by sea and by
land to reinforce the army of the Crimea. At Sc
bastopol itself the allies are looking for shell
ter, ammunition, clothing and reinforcements,
and guarding against the possibility of being
forced to gain, at equal risk and equal cost, an
ans seem becoming every day more sensible of the
tremendous blow they have received, and, engaged
probably in the difficult task of feeding and shell
tering an army sent for our humiliation
without any thing but the most portable means
of destruction, can take offensive measures
Both parties are recovering their breath for
moment before they close again in the mortal
struggle. This, then, is no un suitable time for
collecting some lessons of experience out of the
mass of events, and treasuring them up for future
use. We have learnt much, and have paid dear
for our knowledge; let us hope that we shall not
require to pay the price second time in order to
fix the lesson on our minds.

THE MINNESOTA LAND BILL.

Mr.. Letcher of Virginia, has moved resolu-
ton in the House of Representatives at Washing
ton, declaring the Land Grant of the Minnesota
Legislature, made to that straw company of Wall
street sharpers and land grabbers, null and void,
BY virtue of the power rested in Congress to dis
approve and nully any OF all the acts of the Leg
islature of any Territory under the control and t1-
tilage of the General Government. Doubtless
the passage of the resolution would be simple
act of justice to the people Of the Territory, and
it would be mcrited and fitting rebuke to those
unprincipled men who are striving to avail them
selves of the points Of the late fraud practiced
upon Congress in the alteration of the bill-an
alteration that amounted to q forgery-when it
was before that body. We hope to see Mr.. Letch-
ers suggestion to the House favorably acted up
on: Congress owes it to its own dignity to re-
ouIe the plotters BY such means a. are justi6able

MINNESOTA LAND BLL.-In the speech of Mr..
Campbell of Ohio, delivered in the House of Rep
resentatives on the l4th of December, 1854, on
Kansas and Nebraska, Georgia and Ohio, Free
Labor and Slave Labor, we find the following al
fusion to the Administration and our Land Bill.
word, sir, in conclusion, in reference To the
present Administration. did not come here this
session to make war upon it. 1t is wrong to
strike the fallen The administration has fallen !,
year ago the 18th of last March, VIC witnessed in
that broad & beautiful avenue the most magnificent
pageant ever displayed in the capitol of the ma
ton: The President was elected by an over
whelming majority OF the peoples votes over the
"greatest captain of the age o-one who had
served most gallantiy on many battle-felds! He
was borne trlumphantly by the masses, amidst
hegoyous shouts of thousands, from the west end
OF pennsylvania avenue to the eastern front of
TINS Capitol: There, apparently in manly style,
ne delivered an inaugural address, which was
scarcely excepted to by even those opponents who
sought causes OF objection. He solemrly renew
ed the pledges which two years before had been
signed by the gentleman from Georgia, GMr.
Stephens) to witt" that slavery agitation in
Congress and out of Congress should cease"
Thence he was ushered into the White
House with the greetings of the peoples glad
huzzas
Congress again met and opened its last session.
The Administration threw this apple of dis
cord among us. 1t pressed upon us the consid-
Grafton of the Nebraska bill, and through its Or
gans, ought to influence the Representatives of
the people both through fear of punishment and
hopes Of reward
1t vetoed the bill passed by Congress of its
own friends, granting lands to the several States
to support those stricken poor whose intellects
have been taken from them by the Almighty. At
the same time, under very peculiar circumstances,
it approved the Minnesota Bill, granting near a
million of acres of these lands to New York
Wall street company. A bill, sir, which, after
base forgery had been made upon it, passed the
Senate on the 18th of June The Presidents
signature, o. immediate approval, was necessary
in order to take from the pioneer people of Min.
nesota that immense grant, and secure it to Wall
street brokers. On the 29th of June he APPROX
ed it. So speaks the record.

THE PROSPECTS OF RAILROAD.
The Minnesotian has "yielded the ghost"

The Minnesotian has "yielded the ghost"
Hear it =
Our Washington correspondent, it will be seen
and he writes with all the lights before him
considers it almost certain that Congress will
annul the character of the NJ. and N. w. r. c..
Thus will Mr.. Letcher, of Virginia, and his
friends in Minnesota, achieve their triumph of
setting Minnesota, back at least twenty years.
Not so fast, neighbor! We don't think that
Minnesota will be set back at least twenty years,
but the contrary, if the charter is annuled, we
believe that the conflicting interests relative to
this railroad matter, will be tremendously ar
ranged and that instead of Minnesota being put
back twenty years, she will be advanced just that
period. This is mere difference of opinion so
don't work yourself up into passion on the
subject Keep calm.
But our neighbor is becoming wrathy--hear
him again:
Falsehoods, blacker than any that ever emana-
ted from the depths of hell itself, have gone on to
Washington from Minnesota, through the channels
of certain of the public prnts-by private letters
as well, and by the corrupt mouths of men con-
sidered great heretofore, to the effect that the
People of Minnesota, at the last election, repud-
ated the NJ. and N. W. r. R. Co., and that the
first act of the present Legislature would be a
memorial to Congress praying the annulment of
the Company's charter!
According to the above, Minnesota must be a
very bad place, and we advise our neighbor to re-
move to Lake Superior or his morals will become
corrupted but for the life of us we cannot see
how he should know whether the sfalsehoods' al
luded to are 'blackcr than any that ever emana-
ted from the depths of he,' unless he is familiar
with that place.
But the concluding paragraph of our neigh
boris article is really amrsing. 1t seems he could
not find gall enough in his pen, so he dispenses
with +h"s "~a ."hee up tho ,neau axe. just uarA
how ne siashes We advise the members of
Congress and the President to stand from under
the Minnesotian is coming
sAnd if our confidence in the Leg
islature be not misplaced, we would then like to
to see this popuar-te territorial sovereignty Con-
gress and Executive at Washington, dare to an
null deliberate act of the Minnesota Legisature.'
There. gentlemen do it, if you &c dare" and
if you dare' do it, then incur the displeasure of
-Minnesotian
We agree with tho editor in one thing, and that
is that the Charter will be annuled. We have pc
rused no less than four letters from members of
Congress, who assert positively that the action of
Congress in the matter will be almost unanimous.
So much for fraud and rascaity. AS to Mime
sofa being deprived of the lands, we don't believe
o word of it.
