SCHAMYh, the Circassian CHEF, has had re
stored to him his son, WHO Was taken captive
by the Russians eleven years ago, when he
was but child. From the time he was cap
turcd ScIAMYL had not heard from hlm and
had given him mp for lost. 1t appears, how
ever, Immediately on the capture the Russian
Gcncral], Prince WoKox7orr, sent the boy
to st. Petersburg, Where the late Emperor
took liking to him, and had him educated
in the Military Academy, 1t happened last
year that ScHAMYL, in Sc me sudden surprise,
took several Russian ladies' prisoners, anon
gst whom was the Princess TsoEARAwADpy.
They we're conducted to one of ScIiA yiYL's
mountain Businesses, and Confined there as
prisoners of war, but treated with Tie respect
and decorum due to heir ank and sex. The
Governor General of Titlis sent flag Of true
to SCnAMYL to demand the release OF the cap
turcd ladies, offering large sum of money
and the liberty Of several Circassian ladies
who had been made prisoners by the Russians.
But SeuAMYL replied that if his son was alive,
and tho Russians would restore him. he would
release all the lady captivcs. The Emperor
NICHOLAS sent for young ScuAMYL, gave lin
his liberty, and fitted him out with the need
full equipment to undertake the long journey.
The exchange took place in the end of Janu-
airy. Young SCuAMYL, who, when at St..
Petcrsburgh, was not required to ad iute tho
Moslcm creed, has prolited by his involuntary
sci0ur at the Russian capital, and has now
returned to his overioyed father an accoTpli-
shed cavalier, with complete military edu-
cation.

The SACRIFICE OF ,YANlTY,-Black hair
CONES mainly from Brittany and the south
of France, where it is collected principally,
by an adventurous virtuoso, who travels from
fair to fair, and buys up and shears the crops
of the iloighboring damscls. Mr.. Francis
Trollope, in his Summer in Brittany" gives
a lively description of the manner in which
the young girls Of the country bring this
singular commodity to market. "Bcing at a
fair in Coilcnce. what surprised me more than
all, by tho singularity and novelty of tho
thing, were the operations Of the dealers in
hair. In various parts Of the motley crowd
there were three or four different purchasers
of this commodity, who travel tie country
for the purpose Of attending the fairs, and
buying the tresses Of the peasant girls. They
have particularly fine hair, and frequently il
fine greatest abundance should have thought
that female vanity would have etfectually pre-
vented such traffic as this being carried to
any extent; but there seemed to no difficulty
in finding beautiful heads Of hair perfectly
willing to sell. We saw several girls sheared,
one after the other. like sheep, and as many
more standing ready for the shears, with.
their caps in their hands, and their long hair
combed out, and hanging down their waists.
Some of the operators We're men, and some
women. .-..... ....4...

THE ACorIsITION OF ICUBA.-There. arc
contradictory reports as to what tie Admin
istraton intends doing in relation to Cuba.
For our part, We think, in the first place,
that our navy could not tax, Cuba within q.
reasonable time in opposition to the will of
Great Britain and France: we believe: in the
second place, that the taking of Cuba br rorce
would not be desirable even If it could Ic
Effected; and We much doubt, in the third
place, whether acquisition would be desirable
even if it could be accomplished without
force.
We, presume no one doubts the we'll sctt!ed
Tact that Spain, if she were to see imminent,
danger of cuba's being wrenclied from her
by the United States. would, by an exercise
OF her sovereign authority, set free all tho
slaves upon the island, either for the purpose
of arining them against invaders. or ftr the
purpose of rendering the island not only
worthless, but worse than worthless to this
country. This policy of Spain. is well AMI
universally understood. And five were 10
take possession Of Cuba with million of free
negroes upon it, we may well ask the cues
ton, what we could possibly do with it and
them! The question has been put in every
form, and most perseveringly. to the adyo-
Gates of the seizure Of Cuba. h,tt we have in
no instance known any thing like an answer
to it to be either made of seriously attempted.
If any champion of Cuba's forcible seizure
thinks that he can render satisfactory or
even plausible answer, let him try it. We
shah be glad to listen to him.. ...
And suppose at this time we could obtair
Cuba from Spain, either forcibly or peacca.
bly,, with all her slaves Still in bondage, til"
question arises, what we could even then do
with her! The New York Courier and En-
qlircr, which has for years been one of the
stannchcst of the Northern champions Of
Southern rights, remarks with undoubtcd
truth that those who are not content to let
Cuba remain under its present relations to
Spain greatly mistake the feeling of ina or-
ity OF the people of the North if they suppose
that all annexation to our Union could be
easily effected. For years there has not been
time when the North has been in worssi
mood to listen to any such project. The re-
peal of the Missouri Compromise has had its
effect upon this as upon all other questions
affecting slavery. 1t will no doubt take u
war to wrcst Cuba from Spain, but it will
afterwards take more determined struggle
to get Cuba into tho Union. Whether sucli
Il strife would be wise or not, it would Ger:
talnly be inevitable, and every prudent. states
man will seek to avert the occasion. Uit1
questionably the present is time when all
genuine patriots, whether in the North or III
the South, should seek TO mitigate the fierce
asperitics that already exist, instead of bring
ing about occasions for still tierccr ones. Tho
endurance ofour Republic is at stake.
