The PARTY OF A DAy.-The American par!

been reproached, scandalized and burlesqued
in all manner Of ways. Old Fogies, affecting
profound wisdom, have prophecied that It's *,

that after that we should see nor hear nothing
nothing more of it. This was two years az.

Where are the prophecies? Whathas becou'

and where? Let them inform us where and

"Valiant Warriors! Faithful Defenders Of

most painful and grievous loss. We have all
lost common father and benefactor. In the
midst of his unwearied care of Russia's pros

Emperor Nicholas Paulovitch, my most blessed
father, has departed to eternal life. His last
words were:

Russia, and also thank her brave army and
feet, and pray God they may maintain the
courage and spirits by which they have dis

this spirit remains upheld, Russia's tranquility
is secured within and without, and woe to her
enemies. I loved my troops as my own chill.

W We extract the following from the
speech of the Rev. c. K. Marshall, of vicks-
burg, delivered at the Commercial Convention,
at New Orleans:
Men cannot come to reside temporarily
among lis, ard pass away like birds Of the
season, and build up permanent interests. Nor
will our own children accomplish these things,
if they are trained with false views of life, its
relations and responsibilities. And what hope
can we nationally cherish that our sons may be
respected or appropriately educated at Yale,
when the most eminent scholar ever connected
with its body of professors has openly de-
clared himself ready to shoulder his musket
and march to the bloody field and resist the
growth Of slavery; and when the prince Of
the traducers Of the South is made the chief
honorcd guest Of a late Commencement occa.
sion, and that Commencement itself is made a
grand ti-southcrn-anti-slavery jubilee. And
more: when some of its leading professors
openly snccr at southern patronage, and vaunt-
ingly inform us it is a gracious condescension
to take a southern pupil into that institution :?
Mr.. President, when old Yale sets the tune,
all the thousand schools of the abolition states
feel not only bound to chime in, but do it as
necessary condition of their existence. And
who hoary Sillman picks his flint and

We are glad they had the manliness to utter

GENERAL CAYRoBERT AND LORD RAGLAN.
1T is said that the ilustrous French com.
mander.in. chief, in Il report to his Govern
ment, attributes the delay which has taken
place before Sebastopol to the British army,
which, being wretchedly vctualled, and badly
cared for, has been wanting in vigilance, slow
in its movements, unskiiul in the military
works essential to such siege, and rather n
cause of embarrassment than assistance to
the French troops. A copy Of the report,
was, We hear, communicated to the Govern
ment
Further it is reported that during Lord
John Russel's regent visit to Paris the Fin.
p"ror remons rated with him on the state of
the British army and the incapacity of its
generals and managers, and intimated that it
could not be expected that he should exhaust
his resources, and that unless change was
made, he should be compelled to adopt some
unpleasant measures. The Lord John laid
this facl before the Cabinet and in conjuDc
ton with Lord Pamerston, demanded the
recall of Lord Raglan, but that the Ministers
were not agreeable to do so, and he, there
fore, at once resigned.

prescription for the Group:
"Divest the child Of all clothing about the
neck aud chest; then battle the throat and
upper part OF the chest freely with cold wa.
ter Let this be done by pouring, spongng
or very frequent application of wet Gloths;
while this is being done, prepare warm water,

IN short tune; the child should he put quiet

feet, when pcrspiraliop and sleep soon follow,

DEMocRATIc BLACK LIsT.-Those who

Partizan prints may not know how much
brdzen impudence is necessary to make first
rate party Editor, who will make it a matter
Of conscience to stick to his colOrs, through
thick and thin, no matter at what sacrifice of
principle or consistency. Who, for example,
that reads nothing but the Federal Union or
the Georgia Telegraph, would ever have the
idea enter their brains that any Northern
Democrats could become FreesOiLers or Ado
Mionistsl Oh no! bless your innocent souls,
the Wings are the fellows who have become
aboltionized, while the Democrats are sound
TO the core on the slavery question!
Doubtless this is true of Northern Wings,
but it is not the "whole TRUTH" and Editors
can falsify quite as much by suppressing truth
rs 10y asserting falsehood. The Democracy
Of the North are quite rs much aborionized
as Whiggery. Both are corrupt and unprin-
cipled on this issue, In proof, look at the

- 1t is stated by the New York Post
that u bridge is about to b. constructed, at an
expense of I / 100000, ut the mouth OF the
river Scheldt, to cross the Strait, ono league
in length, which separates the Isle of Wal
cheren from South Bevcland, so as to connect
the port of Flushing with the continental
railways. On account of the very active
navigation, the bridge will have Il draw of
ninety feet in the centre, to allow passage
for the largest steamers. The rest of the
work will be built on iron cylinders of from
ten to fifteen feet diameter, to be planted in
the soil by means of atmospheric pressure,
sometimes rarlied, sometimes condensed by
the aid Of steam. TO complete the connec-
ton proposed, the Isle of South Beveand is
to be joined to the continent by dyke of
about five English miles in length, the crest
of which will be elevated to more than fifteen
feet above the level of the highest tide, at an
expense Of Sl,00O,000. This latter work,
however, necessitates the construction of n
canal, at an expense Of another million of
dollars, to cross the Island of South Beve-
land. and thus supply the nayigable passage
closed by the dyke. .s
This project was originated by the great
Napoleon 1t looks too heavy to be carried
out with any other than II government treasu.
