ing School for Young Ladies', under
the particular patronage Of the
M1SONIC R4TER NIFTY

TENDER, 1856.
Having taught for ten years in Vir-
ginia, as we'll as being engaged as Pre-
ceptress of the Senior Literary De
partment of the Memphis Female
College. during a scholastic session =
her past experience enables her to
promise confidently TO give every sat
isfaction to the parents or Guardians,
who may intrust pupils to her charge.
Her aim has ever been to give a
Thoroughly practical education-not
however, at the expense of such ac-
complishments, as are usually taught
in Young Ladies' Seminaries,-but
rather combining with them; and to
instruct her scholars So that in time
they may themselves become teachers
The school discipline has hitherto been
well preserved throughout, by rules
suited to the government OF the lnstl,
tuition; uniting with such discipline
as parents exercise in we'll ordered
k0n,c circles
The cousse and mode of Instruction
will be made known by application to
Miss Stuart: and every other intorma
ton relative to the school, will at al
times be readily given.
Board may be obtained in the village
at the usual rates; Pupils charged
! from their entrance, until the close o
the session; and no detlactiOn, save il
cases of protracted sickness.

CoLoMA AReUs.-The Editor of the Cooma Ar-
gus the Editor of any other paper who will allow
his columns to be prostituted by the rdicue of the
physical formation of any human being deserves and
will reap the execration Of mankind None but such
as are lost to every principle of proprety, will resort
to an argument so barren of efficiency.
The above is from the Placervile american. And
here is our defense: We objected to that portion of
Mr.. Wrens card which alluded to our neighbor's
"shape" and returned the document with our obiec-
tions-for although we have always admired the
physique of the american man-consdering him the
very impersonation of linked sweetness long drawn
out yet we were apprehensive that Wren's strc-
lures might be used to defeat certain verv manifest
designs of the editor on female correspondents pro-
pretresses of chicken ranches, &c. But Wren bro't
the card in once more and referred us to file of the
american, in which the editor week after week allud
ed to his beauty, and invited the attention of the
ladies to his comeiness of person-settng himself W
as "the glass of fashion and the mould of FORM" L
was obvious at glance that he who assailed thc
editors "get-up" would be worsted in the fray-and
thus assured by the ile concluded to allow Wren

that he cannot understand word Of our language :;
he is therefore, free from any annoyance that might

The Next War.

Once more through the long drawn series Of jarrng
and dissension differences and explanations outrages
and apologies, between the United States and Great
Britain, crisis seems to be approaching, and the
long-averted war to be lowering. War between the
two governments is probability. 1t has scarce
been less than probability for several years past
1t may not be more, for years to come The present
difficulties may be adjusted by the pen, The disms-
sal of Champion is no serious matter, and England
can send new minister, who will be received at
Washington Just as though nothing had happened
But England has always looked with holy horror
upon American fibusering expeditions. She is very
Jealous of American ocqusition in the lower country.
The Government at Washington has recognized the
flibusters at Granada as constituting an independent
republic U. S. ships of war float in increased num-
bars opposite the Central American coast and about
the Island of Cuba. Will the English Government
consider this good cause for declaration of war?
The conditions of the European nations at this
juncture render movement in this direction highly
probable. England has just emerged from what her
ministry is pleased to consider successful European
war, and although she comes off with the minor share
of the gathered laurels and is looked upon by the
Il
peror of the French and the British cabinet are sup
posed still to have left part of an old programme
"Tke Western Policy" has never been enforced
The press has occasionally alluded to it. and the
man of the I'd of November" has intimated its ex-
stence-but no papable act in this direction has
yet been committed. What more auspicious moment
than this could be seized by the Allies to humble
the nrde of the United States? II are sitting easy
in undisturbed security at home. Great Britain is
anxious to fasen British rule upon Central America
Napoleon wishes to champion the Church, as against
the State in Mexico, and become the defender of the
faith in this hemisphere. Spain is trembling lest los
Yankees seize upon the Queen of the Antilles, and is
eager to contribute for the preventive the lives of
few Of her dusky sons.
If the American press will just be easy a spell,
and not play too much upon the sober, second
thought, and 4" the disasters Of war; we may have a
bit of brush yet, with some Of those Eastern peo-
pie grand national fight is just what is required
by the people of the United States. 1t would at
once drive the citizens of the Union to each other
one common brotherhood in sentiment as well as in
name. 1t would heal all the petty chickering's which
have been for years encouraged between different
quarters of the country, and which have year after
year grown more bitter and more dangerous. Rest
less spirits who for want of honorable occasion for
their mettle would brave the eaamtieS Of civil war,
would, in event Of foreign war, have show to be
punctured by Sheffield blades, whereby enough of
valor might issue to allow them to hobbe peacefully
to honorable graves.

A Story OF THE LATE INDIAN WAR.-A most
thrilling narrative of the late Indian war in Wash
ington Territory is related by little boy aged eight
wears who arrived here in the U. S. soop Decatur,
with his brother and sister, aged respectively five and
two years, on the way to their home in the State of
Wisconsin.
1t appears that he has witnessed the murder of his
parents by the Indians, who came upon them sudden
ly at place some twenty miles distant from Seattle
long enough to urge the eldest boy to hasten with
the younger children to pace Of safety The In
dans fred three shots at the boy without effect, when
they determined to spare bis life. He finally sue
cecded in getting Lis infant brother and sister safely
into Seattle. We are in possession of the full par

FILLMORE NOT TO DECLINE.-The Democratic ed
itors still Try to suck little encouragement from the
possibility Of Filmores resignng. The Golden Gate
brought nothing more direct Or conclusive than had
previouslybaen received. When last heard from Mr..
Fillmore was at Rome, and had not received official
notice Of lis nomination. Hon. S. G. Haven, Rep
res9ntatve from the Buffalo District has written Il
letter containing his views on the subject lie is the
intimate friend and the law partner Of Mr. +. In
the letter he says;
Mr.. Fillmore was not nominated to decline. His
nomination vas the result Of the deliberations of
intelligent, warm-hearted cool-headed discreet and
patriotic body OF men, as has met in this country
since the convention that framed the constitution.
Mr. Fillmore will not decline. He has not 50 in
formed me in terms it is true; but were lie to Decline
he would prove traitor to that sentiment in the
country which 50 nobly so generously sustained him
in the very trying times Of his previous adminsIa-
ton and to those just and comprehensive American
sentiments, which nculcate and insist upon exact
all its diversified institutions interests preudiccs and
pursuits"
Mr.. II. then quotes passage from one of Mr..
Fillmores letters
:" am determined to sink Or swim, live or die with
my friends. Our is just, for it is the cause OF
our common country and every part Of it, and we
ought to triumph but if we fail, we shall at least
have the consolation Of knowing that we are engaged
in righteous cause and deserved success"

The Russian Trade.

The opening of the Russian ports, after blockade
of two years, is Of course an event of worldwide
commercial Importance. The English, up to the
commencement of the war, enjoyed the Lions share
of the tade with Russia doing an immense and ura-
tive carrying trade with the Baltic Black and White
sea ports, and furnishing the empire of the Cars
enormous quantities of machinery and other articles
from her workshops Relative to the new race for
the trade with the dominions of ALEXANDER II, the
N. Y. Tribune says:
But tle English will not be without rivals in this
race. The flag of the Hanseatic towns will compete
with that of England at the opening Of the Baltic
trade md besides, numerous American vessels, with
full cargos, have been waiting during the Winter,
scattered through various ports Of Denmark, Ilo.-
land, Swden, Norway and Germany. The Ameri-
can commercial marine, however, has not yet availed
herself o the new order of things created by the
war to tie extent which propitious combinations may
soon secure. We have repeatedly said that the war
must putan end to the monopoly exercised 10y Eng
land over the Russian trade, shipping, and manulac-
turing and industrial establishments. Surprising
even-wht however, is wholly improbablc-that the
Imperial Cover mcnt should accord to England all
the advantages she enjoyed, the peope at large
the mechanls, the manufacturers, the industrias-
are earnGtly resolved to avoid, far possible any
unnecessary demand on England-to get rid of her
tutelagd and to look chiefly to the United States
We are iTpossession Of various facts emphatitally
confirming our predictions this subject. For cx-
ample previous to the war, in 1913, Russia imported
100000 bales of cotton two-thirds of it bought in
Englandhnd forwarded in English bottoms. But
now we ln0w Of one single house at New Orleans
sending directly to st. Petersburg and Moscow about
81 000 blles which are now on their way in Amel'-
can vessds We are cognizant, too, of orders re-
ceived from various Russian houses, emphatically
Joining ttir correspondents to avoid the use of the
English fhg or of English commission merchants
In all probability the Russian demand for cotton this
year will be 10000 bales, and the number will be
increased considerably every year. Some time must
eapsc behre Russia will be able to use her own ships
for the wlole or part of this, and thus American
vessels viii to that extent find profitable occupation
Russia hal hitherto received her chief supplies of
tropical poducts through England and the Hansca-
tic Cities now American vessels may step in and
carry thisBort Of merchandise directly to Russian
ports. There they can take return cargoes Of the
Russian products needed by us, such as shcet-irOn
and even hemp. In this way an increased direct in
recourse between the two countries viii be estab-
sLCd.
