Valedictory.

As our readers will perceive, d change
partnent Of the TTinity Times. 1t lie with
feelings Of regret and pleasure that we bid
farewell to the readers of our little sheet
regret at dis-olving the ties which have for
~ many months connected us with those
who have 70 literally supported as in our
gndertaking--regret that we can no longer
hold weekly converse with those who have
cheorcd US on in our course and sustained
US by their approval. Bat with our regrets
at parting with our ever indulgent public,
there are mingled feelings Of pleasure and
satisfaction in the consciousness that our
place will be filed by gentleman who is
far more capable than ourself to discharge
the duties which will deyolve upon him-a
gentleman who enters upon his editorial
career with many friends and no enemies.
That he will fully sustain the character and
tone Of the paper we are certain-that he
will add TO its popularity and usefulness we
have no doubt. We ask from our old friends
an extension to him Of that cordial support
which has compensated US for many an hour
Of toll and weary thought.
And now, In bidding the public farewell
We would, without wishing to be egotistical,
ask them 10 review the course Of the ITin-
rfv Times since is commencement, and
tps,er lor themselves If it has no! been all
that 4 prof SD TO bs in the start--an in
d pandent, untrameiled paper paper de
yOtod not to party Or faction, but to the
interesk Of the community by which it has
been sustained. IA resgniag our position
we do 30 with the happy coasciouslos that
we have fuldlod ~ far a. our feeble abili-
ties perrs.ttod us, all the promises tlaL we
made to The public in the commencement
of our career. NeIther'our pom or onr
press has ever been proetitutcd TO the advo-
cacy Of an unworthy cause, or the promul-
cation OF an unworthy sentiment. That
we may have erred in our opinions Of men
aud matters, we are most ready to admit
we do not claim an exemption from that
fallAbility Which charactcriIes ell men.
But We do claim that our course has been
honest, and unbiased by the hope Of reward
or awed by the fear Of personal 'll-will or
temporary public d.'approvsl; and 10 the
judgmen, OF an unprejudced public we are
nost willing TO leave the dlcision.

CONyEcTIoNERr.--Our friend Kelly, Of
the Ice Cream Saloon, is gentleman whose
exquisite taste in all matters sppertaining

the success which will attend him in his

work have, during the past week, found
their way, in very mysterious manner, TO

in such mOtters is always decisive, have

The War in tha East.

The War in ths East.
There is nothing new in the agpect Of af-
fairs, in relation to the European war, at
the last accounts received-no material or
important ehange-but the work goes On !;
re-inforsements are constantly sent out
regiment after regiment-recruits after re-
cruits have followed one another with reg
ularity Of military discipline, but not with
the ardor aud enthusiasm inspired by a
righteous cause, and still no decisive re-
suits obtained. All the efforts Of the allied
powers-and they have been great and
many-have utterly failed to bring about
tie hoped for result. In fact, "Sebastopol"
has not been taken, and present indications
are anything bat favorable for the success
Of the allied powers but whatever may be
the final result, 30 far as the siege, before
that fortress is concerned, the siege Of " Sc
bastopol" will go down to future genera
tions, az q landmark in the annals Of mill
tary Operations-written in history told
in story-and sang in song, together with
the classic story Of the Siege of Troy"
The English and French Journals, cha
grined at their want of suceess, have en-
deavored 10 account for it by the blunder-
ing operations Of the commanders, and in
the ineficiency and want Of system-in the
favoritism shown in appointments, and in
the aristocratit government Of the whole
affair az well as in the laundering manner
in which the affairs have been planned and
conducted at the War Department.
A great deal is undoubtedly TO be attrib-
utcd TO all that the truth is, the entire
strategic plan OF operations was blunder,
from the word go-from the very first mo-
ment that Sir Charles Napier sailed off to
the Baltic, with his well equipped feet, and
his flag, that had for thousand years
braved the battle and the breeze" nailed
to the mast, (as he said,) down 70 the very
moment when the glorious " six hundred"
rushed madly into the jaws Of death, was
blunder. And the blunder par excellence
Of all blunders, consisted in not attempting
the place by assault Immediately after the
battle Of Inkcrman," when the enemy had
less force aud were less strongly fortified
but they preferred sitting down before it
and awaited e-inforcements-and there
lost the favorable moment.
When sebsstopol does fall, by the con-
bined obstinacy of British bulldog courage
and French love Of glory, there is only
point gnined.
We id not intend to extend This article,
but have merely desired to allude 70 the
one great and all-important element which
lies beneath the whole, and that is the ele-
ment OF Revolution. When that spirit
which exists in the heart Of the people,
against the corrupt system Of government
by which they have been ruled is brought
out and assumes tangible shape, and the
people rise in their might and majesty TO
throw OF The securseS tramuels that bind
them, and wage war against the whole sys-
stem Of monarchicAl goyernment-wh
that element 10 brought out and carried 10 a
successful issue, thea may We hope fos good
results
We believe the ger~ Of this Ia io be
found In the prese.t Europesn Vas, for we
have faith In the people.
