strange winter with its frequent and rapid changes

they have undertaken IL they do not use those ad-

The game which the scribblers In the interest OF
Russia are playing is transparent enough. They
seek to 1atter and eonciliate France; to inspire
Frenchmen with dstrust of England; and TO per-
shade the French government to show its prepon-
dersting influence by assuming position which
will compel England, however reluctant, to conclude
peace Tor fear che should be left alone. To this
end the Gar makes, and his sycophants indnstr-

From ,he London Morning Post, Jan .
The latest accounts Of General Mouravief's pro-
ceedings lend an incidental sanction f it be needed)
to these of Omer Pasha. Were it the 6ttest season
OF the whole year for campaigning and the most
favorable for the speedy conveyance Of troops the
two hostile commanders would still be separated, in
a country acantily provided with roads, by some
seven or eight days Of forced march over many ma
tural distractions; but they must, on both sides,
think now of anything rather than the chance of
collision which, II they even did mediate it, would
be yet further postponed than the mere distance be-
tween them might OF itself require. Over oil that
wide and lofty area Of table land, the same cause
clogs the progress Of events by forbddng the prose
cution Of wnrlike operations. The movement,
which the Russian commander is described as hay
ing Just made, is to Goumri. Had the message been
Russian, AlexandropoI would have been the
word But this is nothing the significant part of
the concurrence Is, that the march is mot an ad-
vance. Having destroyed the exterior works of
Kar General Mouravief takes the main body
of his army to Goumri, which is on the
high road back 10 Tihis, and the very way he had
originally come. We may observe, in passing, that
the disnanting Of Kars-supposing even that the
enemy had been able to continue his aggressive
operations instead Of relinquishing them-would in
dieate their temporary character for 1t would beray
his intention Of not making Kars station. Much
clear, therefore, is this intention now, when
combine the demolition OF the Notifications with
the positive return Of the conquerors to Alex
andr0pol. In fact, while we learn that 10 900
Turks and Egyptians from Trebzond are facing
unspeakabe hardships in order to reach Erzeroum

columns that General is quietly placing between him

We shall now In short time receive the text of
the Russian acceptance Of the Austrian ultmatum
which will show, what do not yet satisfactorily
know, the method and scope OF the course adopt
by Russia. AS soon that shall have been fully
asoeit ained, It will be determined in London and
Paris how, and on what conditions, prelimnaTies Of
peace may he arranged and negotiations be entered
upon. In the meantime, we receive dispatches from
Berlin which inform us of the receipt by Baron Bud
berg the Russian representative I'm that capital Of
circular from Count Nesselr0de, explaining the con-
duct Of Russia in accedng to the Austrian demands.
No one will be surprised to find that Russia affects

to the re-estabiishment Of peace purely in conse-
qUence OF the representations OF friendly Powers and
by no means because the interest of Russia has the
least need ut present OF any pacific settlement OF the
dispute which troubles Europe. This Is the usual
Russian style of unhesitatng assertion and has the
merit OF being easily understood if understood In

truth Is, that Russia, II che make CONCESSIONS does

In confirmation OF this circular of NJ de Nesserode,

of Russian diplomatic documents. The assertion
that Russia yields to the general wish of Europe

by the same oause that rendered both the

FATE OF THE DANUBIAN PRINCIpALITIES.
From the Paris Debats, Jan. Is
Europe has taken the engagement to ameliorate
the political and social condition Of Waachia and
Moldavia. This engagement will be fulfilled. II
the Princpalites fall once more under Turkish do
mination, they will speedily become Russian In
the political and social amelioraton of the popula
ton that Russia must be repuIsed. The day when
the East feels that it escapes becoming Russan it
will no longer attempt to become 80. Look 1T
Greece; she may have loved tho Russians as
enemies Of the Turks--she will not have them for
masters. Her independence separates her ever from
Russia. We must make the sam remark tor the
Princpaiities. The day when they commence to
have better social position they will cease to in
upon them In prosperity and independence will Sc
parate them more from their ancient protectors
The characters of the stipulatons of the peace OF
1856 will be profoundly impartial, and will proceed
neither from English nor French interests but from
the interests Of Europe. II ia thus that peace il so
suitable to France. Everybody will admit that in
the Eastern war France had particular ntetest at
stake, bnt solely European one. In peace she has
likewise only European interests, and therefore we
may say withou. national vanity, that the peace is
entirely French The French government had with
skill desired it So and we doubt not will also defend
it with iii mness and cause it to prevail in the nego
tations.
Good for the present and for the future the peace
will be the protection of the East against Russia-it
will lie the most solid guarantee of European euu

We have Galena dates of the I'd Of August and
Washington dates of the LIST. The Kansas oues-

we have already stated that the Committee on
Elections in the House, have decided that Whit

certain minister Of this city if the South, or at
least South Carolina, by this act has not endorsed
the conduct Of Brooks?
The Kansas contested election case was re.
newed. The Clerk finished the reading Of Gov.
Reeder's statements, and among other things, he
refers to the remarks Of Gen. Cass and Mr.. Bu-
chanan, to show that a delegate may be admitted
in the absence Of q specific law for that purpose.
He concluded by arguing in support Of the posi-.
ton heretofore assumed by him.
HousE.--Mr. Whitfield, the sitting delegate,
said his election should not be referred without
full and impartial hearing. He maintained
that be was elected over the statute passed in
pursuance Of law, and therefore was entitled
to remain where he was.
There was here no proper legal challenger to
his right, from the fact that no had no COMPETE
tor in the canvass. and Governor Reeder had no
right to contest, apart from this. Gov. Reeder
had certified that the Legislature that assembled
was legal. He insisted, that every article of tes-
timony in his case had been vitiated by the Kan.

Young men, striving to get ahead, should

them poorer. Let us figure; A young man

many times taking friend with him. The
average cost per week, was $500. Allowing
that he attended only three months, and we

we know that he has not received that amount
of benefit either socially, morally OF intellect

to say that all our policemen are negligent
we think the evil exists in the system more than

ARHISON THE MURDERER.

VIM. Arrison, of Cincinnati, spent months in
making an internal machine. He guarded every
step in the progress of his work with scrupulous
care. His malice was as cool as it was diaboical.
When his machine was done he sent it BY child
to Mr.. Allison, steward of the Cincinnati Hos.
pital, against whom he had bitter grudge.
Allison opened it in the presence of his wife,
whereupon it exploded, killing them both and
tearing the house nearly to pieces.
Arrison fled, but was caught and taken back tc
Cincinnati. His third trial has just closed.
The jury found him guilty of-manslauqhter
