IN. The force she is to despatch to the
Caucasus was estimated at leo, 900 men, ex'
clu.lve!y Of the assistance she will derive
trvm the co operation OF native tribes. 1he
following extracts are from the Paris cores
Yondence Of the London Times -

Il must say word about the preparations
made by the mountain tribes for war. 1he
news OF the Russian ornaments appears to
have excited great agitation among them-
The chiefs who inhabit the northern slope,
or rather the whole valley Of Kuban, have
met together in order to decide on a plan OF
co,nmon defence. Several conferences have
been held, and the necessity of a single au-
ts,orlty, with . view to the unity OF opera
atoms, has been admitted. 10 obvlate
i..lousies among the chiefs, it was agreed to
confer on a stranger the chief command; and

burg (Va.) Express writes from Greenville,
n G.:
Three nesroes-two likely young men
aud an old woman, the mother of twenty
childrsn--we1e hung at Greenville, PITT
count. on the 27th. From early morn till
noon. every avenue leading into the town
was crowded with persons representing all
ayes. sexes, classes and conditions ofthe popu
iation IN the county round about. About 9
O'Clock in the morning, steamboat arrived
from Washington, with some five hundred
passengers. The crowd VAS estimated at We
thousand persons, CT which At least one thou
s,nd were females. The doomed creatures
sang and shouted from the time they emerged
from the Jail until the trap fell. They made
fall confessions upon the gal!ows,and express
ed willingness to die. A hanging is great
event with Us, and generally brings out
much larger crowds than anything else"
