SEBASTOPOL IN 1857.

A Sebastopol correspondent of the Bos-
ton Courier, describes the present state of
that city. Everything is devastation and
desolation. Of the town, which contained
sixty thousand inhabitants, nothing now re-
mains but mass of stones. In its line
harbor, a number of vessels. sunk at the
time of the siege, now remain, not wholly
submerged, but partly visible above water.
On the north side of the harbor, the forts
are still teeming with life and activity
When Sebastopol was stormed, the Russians
had but 5000 men the allies lOO,OOO.-
The Russians admit that, during the entire
war, they lost five hundred thousand men.
In the midst of this scene of ruin, Yankee
enterprise is at work. Col. Gowen, of Bos-
ton, (every American is Colonel') is bust
Iy engaged in preparations for raising the
Russian feet, sunk during the war. He is
confident of success. The value of the
vessels sunk is variously estimated at from
twenty to fifty millions of dollars. The
4th of July was celebrated by the Ameri-
cans in Sebastopol, in fine style. The
Governor of Scbastopol permitted two OF
the State bands to play at the dinner and
a goodIy number of Russian officers Joined
in the festivities. Near the head of the
table were portraits of Washington and the
Emperor Alexander.

WHAT BECOMES OF THE 1Np1ANsq

The red men of America are generally a
hardy race. They used to be prolific. n
healthy and long lived race. They spread
over the whole continent and probably
numbered many millions. Now there are
not more than a few hundred thousand of
them left. They have had no DEVASTATING
war, and have not been peculiarly afflicted
with pestilence. The climate is the same
that their fathers throve under, and in MANY
regions they have the same habits and mr.
suits But everywhere they are wasting
away. Even in Texas, where they are as
fAvorahly situated as they can be anywhere
on the continent, they are gradually disap-
pearing. A late Galveston paper saws that
in Il ID the Indians of Texas were estimat-
ed at 10000, and in 1856, from official ac-
counts, they numbered only about 1000
O decline of forty per cent. in three wears.
AT this rate of decline, if it continues, there
will be scarcely an Indian left in Texas
fifteen or twenty years from the present
time If there was any emigration of In
dams from Texas to other parts of the
country, there would be no difficulty in ac-
counting for the decrease in population
But there is little or no such emipration.
and the Indian population is diminishing in
every part of the States and Territories
The civilized, the haifcivilized and the
savage are alike dwindling away. and a cen
fury hence there will be few if any left of
the race that once owned and occupied the
whole American continent. The cause of this
is one of the mysteries of Providence, who
seems 90 have ordered that the European
races shall super$ede the red men in the
occupation of the land

COUNTERFEIT PoRT WINE.-Three thou
sand pipes of counterfeit port wine, of a
vile quality, were recently seized in London
It is said that the stuff was originally
compounded in London and Hamburg, then
shipped to Oporto and thence re-directed to
London. This is nothing new. According
to the Philadelphia Bulletin, it is an old
saying of Euglishmen, that to get real Port
wine, you must 60 to Portugal, buy a
vineyard, make the wine with your own
hands and ride tho barrel when you take
it into town with you.

A New -Lnportant.-The Rich
mond Enquirer gives description of a new
brake for checking the speed of railroad
cars. 1t was invented by Angus Melon
aid of Hampshire county, Va. The editor
has seen the brake tried, and thus speaks
of it: ---,.-.
THE improvement of Mr. Mcdonald con-
sists in an arrangement Of machinery by
which steam power is applied to the brakes
now in use. This power is always present
when the use of the brake is required and
may be drawn from the boiler and applied
with all its great effect, as quickly as the
Engineer can perceive its necessity and
turn a cock as quickly as he could sound
the whistle to indicate danger to the brake
man and thus by the time the brake men
could hear the whistle and comprehend its
object, the steam brake would be in full
and effective operation upon every wheel
and begin to retard the momentum of the
whole train. 1t would seem to require no
argument to prove, that power capable
of propeling three trains at great speed,
might, by a proper mechanical arrange
ment, be applied with equal effect as a re-
tardng agent. This seems to have been
the design of the inventor and the princi
pies involved in his arrangement appear
perfect but the machinery, being the first
of the kind, is obviously defective in some
of it's details, and consequently in that ex-
tent less effective in its operations. The
objects sought, it is believed, may be eff
fected in an eminent degree by the appli
cation of good machinery. The power is
applied by cylinder and piston attached
to the under part of the Locomotive and to
which steam is communicated from the
boier.''

TELEGRAPH CABLE-The loss to the
Company by the breaking of the cable it
is thought will exceed 100000. The
greater portion payed out-We mean the
cable, not the money-will be recovered.
BY the way, the New York Commercial
Advertiser intimates that the cable a0as
broken on purpose, it having become
apparent that the rapidity with winch the
lateral currents were running off with the
wire, would use up the line before the
vessels were one-third the way across, and
that this alternative was adopted under the
conviction that it was better to lose 800
miles of the wire than to proceed in the
face of the certainty that the whole Of it
would be lost in mid-ocean. 1t is broadly
asserted that the directors have not told
the truth, and some very pertinent questions
are put to them which it will be difficult to
pass over without answering. If all this
be true, then, says the Advertiser-that is
to say, if the lateral currents offer so serious
an obstacle in the success of the plan, what
becomes of those "deep sea-soundings"
reports, which aver that no obstacles would
be met with on this score; and that the wire
would sink to its bed in still water, I'M
disturbed by any influence whatsoever?
A CLERGYMAN WHOSE HONESTY EQUALS
HIS INDUsTRY.-The Cincinnati Enquirer
says that in May last a sojourner at the
Spencer House, the Rev. J. B.. called the
landlord aside and announced that he was
"dead broke.n He wanted the landlord to
trust him for his bill and lend him $50.
Being an entire stranger, the landlord was
so we'll pleased with his guests assurance,
not to say lmpudence, that he complied.
The other day he received the following
rather amusing letter dated Columbus:
FRIEND PRATT: Enclosed please find SOS
the amount of your claim against me, and
also, many thanks for the favor you grant
ed. The Lord, since my return, has bless
ed me with an abundance of business, all
of which / trust have disposed of to his
entire satisfaction. On the LIST instant
baptized two hundred and twenty-three
converts. all blacks but three; and the cere-
mony, although performed with due DELHI
Grafton, occupied only one hour and five
minutes. You will see that this was nearly
four minute, and l consider it a demon
stration that the three thousand converted
on the day Of Pentecost could easily have
been baptized by the twelve Apostles each
taking two hundred and fifty. in an hour
and thirteen minutes. Please accept the
money, and believe that [ shall pray for
your future salvation.
Yours, j B.
