FRIDAY MORNING. MAY
THE MASTER SPIRIT AT sEBAsToPoL

LIZ
The English journals have no hesitation in
admitting that even in the department of
engineering, on which the allies most prided
themselves, the Russians at Sebastopol have
shown very decided superiority. 1t ap-
pears from paragraph in the Baltimore
American, that whilst the allies have placed
old fogies in command of their armies, the
Russian engineering operations have been
confided to the hands of young man full
OF genius, energy and fire. "Tho head en-
gineer at Sebastopol.'' says the American,
Is young man named Todleben, who at
the commencement of the siege was a can.
tam and almost unknown. When the siege
commenced, Prince Menschikoff, il is said,
asked the then head engineer how long it
would take TO put tie place in a stale of de-
fence Ife answered two month"; To-
dleben stepped forward and said Lo would
undertake to do it, If he had as many men
as he required iii two weeks. He did 1t ia
twelve days, ard was made colonel. Since
that time he has had the direction OF every.
thing in the way OF building batteries, de-
fences, &c. The other day the Grand Duke
called upon his vile, who is residing in St.
Petersburg. to congratulate her upon her
husbands promotion; for he is now General
| and Abide Camp to the Emperor. The
Russians adopt the common sense practice OF
| taking the man who will do the work best
and they get it the best done. This is the
practice in well conducted private business
it is still more necessary in public service,
where the consequences of mistakes through
incompetency and ignorance may affect a
| whole nation

THE "PERsoNAL LlBERrY sIlr. >

: The New York Herald in commenting up-
on this browning act Of Massachusetts nulli-
hcation, justly remarks that this foul deed
places Massachusetts at once in the foremost
of the nullifying States, completely nullifies
the Fugitive Slave Law within that Common
wealth.and raises aquestion which may place
the Union in danger. The Herald remarks
that, should it remain on the statute book of
Massachusetts, it seems difficult to compre
bend how the Southern States can continue
to allow her citizens to make use of their
laws to protect their property. So far as
Southern shareholders are concerned, saws
the Herald, the personal liberty law amounts.
to legalization of robbery; and appears as
unjust to the South as a Virginia law would
be which threw insurmountable obstacles in
the way of the collection of Northern debts
in that State. ~ rs @
The South may be obliged in self defence
to resort to, retaliatory legislation. 1t ought
to be known at once whether the Constitu-
ton Is to be obligatory in Virginia and inva.
lid in Massachusetts. "a -

IMPROVED WAY OF MAKING BREAD

The Paris correspondent of the CONNER
city, in making bread, puts in one part of
rice to FIVE of wheat -four, and the economy
effected makes the very considerable figure
of one SOU in the two pound loaf. 1t is said
that neither the nutriment nor the taste of
the bread appear to be affected by the new
Ingredient. There is great demand for it
in Paris. Any device that will reduce the
prodigious cost of the staff of life, is of gen
eral interest to the world.

RENTS.

The great reduction in rents in New York,
and the still greater reduction in prospect
present an example which might be advan
tageously initiated in other cities. No city
can prosper in which rents are so high as to
prevent the mechanical and laboring classes
from living in decency and comfort. These
are the people who make the wealth and
prosperity of community, and when they
are excluded by high rents and high prices
of living, it is driving the working bees from
the hive. re-
