"The Sentinel has devoted large portion of
its editorial columns during the last two days,
TO continuation of its assaults upon the
AnieTican Organ and its principles. In its
issue of Wednesday, it kindly informs us, il
had devoted more space than is usually
allowed to one article in answer to our edito.
rial Of Monday, and says: This was not done
on account of the strength Of the arguments OF
the Organ, but because its views were full Of
unsoundness.'
We do not assume to present arguments
manitesting that Herculean strength so strik-
ingly visible in the columns Of that remarkably
popular, and extensively circulated journal
known by the name Of the Washington Sentinel.
"A journal which can boast of circulation
in the city where it is issued, of more than two
hundred, and which is SO extensively patron

maintain its ascendancy over the Organ, which
only claims TO have three thousand patrons in
the same city We freely grant the claim of
superior strength Of intellect to the Sentinel,
over the Organ. 1t would be superlatively
ridiculous were we to assume that any single
man, and especially one of more than t,co score
years and ten, could possess an equality OF

powerful writers, each distinguished by an

Such is the reply of the Know. nothing paper
10 our comments on its articles-comments
that were certainly free from any expressions
that would offend the most sensitive mind.
We have never put forth any claims to "supe-
rior strength and power of intellect" We
have never boasted of the popularity Of the
Sentinel, or Of its extensive circulation.
If the above unbecoming personal illusions
are the best arguments the Organ can employ
TO relieve its party Of the charge of Abolition
ism, then its cause must indeed, be wretchedly
weak.
1t is not astonishing that paper which CO.
operates with the abolitionized Know-nothings
Of Massachusetts, and which speaks so con.
temptuously Of "niggerism,' should repeat
with uuconcealed satisfaction the stale and
stereotyped sarcasm that Horace Greely 50
often quotes by way Of ridiculing the gentry Of

the great unconquered. II was too late for me
to proceed further, as had to look out for my
Christmas dinner. Turning back, ] passed the
quarters Of Field Marshal, Lord Raglan, com.
manderin chief Of the forces--an old fashioned
house, (the late residence of Russian farmer,)
surrounded with barns and sheds. The Eng
lish ensign and his lordship's private flag float
ed in front, and regiment Of servants, ostlers,
&c, &C., inhabited tents around the premises.
The staff officers live with the commander.
The French headquarters are about mile dis.

sion throughout the camp, day before yester-
day, and had grand view Of Sebastopol and
the trench operations, The day was q very
fine one indeed, contrary to all expectations,
the weather has been very pleasant nearly
every day since arrived. With Colonel Ro.
bertson and two other officers of the third divi-
sion, walked down to Green Hill battery and
trenches, from the outer line Of tents. We
soon came within reach Of the Russian guns
Only short time since, shell entered one Of
the tents Of the division, distant full mile and
