PEAT BEDS IN WIscossIN.-Th peat beds in

fixed upon Syracuse as the place Of trial, and the

having secured about four hundred acres of grain

the different machines. The Committee of Ar
rangements has met with unex pected encourage
ment from all quarters, and although the period was
short between the appointment of the Committee
and the time when the trial must necessarily be
made, variety of circumstances have conspired to

The readers of the published accounts of great

The readers of the published accounts of great
steamboat disasters by fire will be struck with the
regularity, cOnstancy, uniformity, or whatever
you please to name it, with which they contain a
statement substantially like the following from
The Montreal Hsraids report of the late appalling
massacre on the st. Lawrence:
"1he flames, after the smoke was at first per-
ceived did not take more than ten minutes to envelOp
the whole vessel; and in two hours she utterly de-
sroyed 80 that hardly vestige OF the vessel could
be- sesn."
-"The flames did not take more than ten min
e" utes to envelope the whole vessel" and yet the
writer forbears to cast blame on any body aud asks
that public judgment shall await investigation.
But the charred and scuttled wreck is beyond tho
reach Of investigation, nor is there necessity for
any. The naked facts above stated convict tho
owners of the Montreal Of wholesale murder.
They had no right to entice Eve hundred passengers
on board vessel which it did not take more than
ten minutes" to envelope utterly in flames. To
cay nothing Of their obligation to so construct their
steamboat that she could not be thus fired at
all, the fact that the vessel was wrapped in
flames in ten inmates is enough. There is no
need Of building such 6reships for carrying passen-
gers-no excuse for it. Such simple and cheap
expedients as sheathiDg the floors and ceilings
with plates or sheets Of iron, "copper" tin, or other
metal, using only the least cOmbustibe paints
wherever paints are used at all, and furnishing an
abundance of safety seats floats, or whatever may
be the most approved means of buoying up persons
compelled to jump overheard in deep water, would
have saved at least two hundred and fifty Of the
three hundred lives lost by the burning of the
Montreal. Can any believe that there is no one
responsible for the loss of those livesl
The victims of the Montreal arc gone; but tina
owners Of steamboats, remain. Thousands of these
vessels are plying in American waters, not one
whit better provided for the always possible cas-
ualty Of fire than the Montreal was. Thei, own
ers are taking all the passengers they can get, aud
eXpO.ing them to needless danger of death or
coDfaeration. The laws Of the land should compe

Unless all those signs which prOgnosticate great
historical events are decetful, or unless the laws
which have hitherto controlled the growth and
humanized and derived from purcr and sounder
sources aud motives, the present as well as tue
coming century will be marked by struggle unpre
cedepted in history. OF this the Eastern war was
the Introductory drama. A patched-up peace has
covered the outside Of the breach, which below is
still deepening. From beneath the walls of Sevas-
topol the rivalry transferred to other fields,
and silently openly it is rising and spreading, as
the tide penetrates every recess. After their Titanic
struggle, France and Russia have cordially shaken
hands, and sovereigns and people are upon better
terms than ever. But England and Russia occupy
widely different relations. They separated with
hostile feelings which neither cared to dissemble;
and at present their long intimacy and friendly in.
tercourse is superseded by deep and unrelenting
visit Of the Grand Duke Constantine to Osborne
was paid to the lady rather than to the Queen,
while the Premier Of England, with every member
Of his Cabinet was left unnotced This was one
of those demoDstratye signs which involuntary
burst through the diplomatic and couFty saroir
Of hish.born and bigh-bred people The action
of the Grand Duke undoubtedly did no more in
justice to the Russian sentiments toward England
than that Of Palmerston to the corresponding feel
iDgs OF his own country. This show of il,.sil is,
however, but an evanescent episode. The two ma
tons are already engaged in a struggle which will
continue long after the present generation has
passed away. Secret, subdued or open it will be
continued by day and night, when not upon the
battlefield, in the Cabinets of European or Amer.
lean Governments, in the seragios Of Sultans, of
Shahs Of Hiudoo sovereigns and Rajahs before the
Mandarins of China or the mobiles Of Japan, upon
the sea and upon the land. Both nations will jeal-
ously watch each others movements and plans and
both will oOunteract each with implacable tcnacty
The issue, the results, the end of this will not be-
visible to us or to our century. The contest is one
in which two great States are involved rather by
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1857-07-02

EN- tinea, and by is law Russia is far more highly
benefited than any other nation. Her rising gene
ration differs from it, immediate predecessors, and
that too for good to an extent unparalleled in any
other country. Her policy and appetites have un-
dereope total change The national pride no
longer drives her to interfere, at any cost In all the
internal squabbles of Europe. She will fight no
more in the cause of Absolutism. To-day, directed
by sound and truly national policy, she sides with
liberal and almost revolutionary Sardinia against
despotic and priest-ridden Austria. She unites
with France, and in the Dauubian Prncipaties
encourages the efforts of the Wsllachian and Mol
dayian liberals and patriots for the union of those
States; while England, hand in hand with Austria
and Turkey, opposes them and sanctions their I'M
prisoDment ard persecution. England in vain has
employed her utmost power to prevent Russia
from covering herself with nets of railways, just
as in vain she strOve to prevent France from con-
.tructiDg the Canal of Suez. Russia will have
railways, and will receive from them new life and
vigor. With these, in future contests, 1t Will be
easier and cheaper for her to transport troops and
material from Lthuania even to the mouths OF the
Amour, than for England, with her numberiess
fleets covering the ocean, to carry on a war IN
Asia.
The future relations of England and Russia have
been compared by many to those existing between
Rome and Carthage. But all such comparisons,
drawn from the past, are idle. Events have some
times superficial similarity, which vanishes in
stanty before philosophical investigation. History
does not produce old emergencies, but il uninter-
ruptedly creative and original II Hannibal had
destroyed Rome, the victory of the Phenician
civilization would have calamitously impeded the
development of the destnies Of the human race.
The downfall of England, in spite Of all her social
deficiencies would be curse to the civilized world,
and would create gap which no other nation could
fill.
Whatever may be the events Of the future, neither
England nor Russia can be destroyed. Both have
mission of humanity to fulfill. Both in their
respective, albeit different waya are humanizing and
civiliziDg powers. 1t is the great feature of Chris
tian or of post Roman civilization, that nations of
such a stamp do not fall to pieces and disappear.
England will not reproduce Carthage, while Russia
Europe If DO new evolution prevent it, these
two nations IN measuring their forces, will
shake the world But each will find a solution
of the problem of their special and private policy
and move amicably-like England and America-in
their broad and respective orbits.
