The Cznr's New Military Lcvies.
Warsaw (Oct. .6) Correspondence Of London Ncws.l
The new levy Of ten men in every 1000 nhabi
tants is to include the Jews aud is the eighth since
the beginning Of last year. The first was ordered
by the iaiperial ukase Of the 10th of February,
1854. ard the proportion fixed on was nine recruits
in 1000 souls, whilst it had effect in the whole Of
the Russian empire in Europe. In the # the
same year fresh Ievies were ordered by the nkases
of the 18th Of September and the 18th of December,
to the extent Of ten men in 1000 souls, both in the
eastern and western provinces
The first act of this description in the present
year was the famous manifesto of the Car OF the
10th of February, ordering the embodiment and for
nation OF the militia in eighteen Provinces to the
extent of twentythlee recruits in 900 souls; and
three months later appeared the imperial ukase of
the 9th OF May, ordering fresh levy OF twelve men
in every 600 inhabitants for the western half of
the empire PRUSSIA in Europe). These were fol-
lowed in quick succession by the three ukases of
the 3lst OF May, l2th Of August and 7th of Octo-
Der, embodying the militia in the rest of the pro-
vinces OF the empire, and ordering levy Of ten
men in 900 souls.
From the 10th of February 1884, down to the pre-
sent time the Gar has consequently raised no less
than iftytwo men in every thousand inhabitants in
the whole of the empire, and twelve more in the
western half; and how comes fresh conseription of
ten men in one thousand souls, making altogether
about seventy mel in two hundred and fifty Or more

increasing spirit Of hostility which rcigas between
the Northern and Southern States, and our contem-
porary disceins in the restless and mperious policy
Of the latter n Of much future evil. In the
opinion OF the Debofs 1t is to the Southern States
that must he ascribed the responsibility Of any home
or foreign disturbances, and 1t thus expresses it

1t is not in the North the real cradle Of liberty, in

cotton which exhausts in five years the best soil:
of new supplies Of slaves TO meet the incrcas

Of new slave States to its domination, aud by
