was formerly Democrat! So far is this from the
truth, tia. We should urge bis retention still more
earnestly if we supposed him Republican. II is

him retained. Were John T. Clark or George
Geddes or Nelson j. Beach (al formerly distin-

American ENTERPRISE AT 6EvAsToPoI.-A report
has reached this country by way Of Cons:autinople
and Paris, and gone the rounds Of the papers, to the
effect ths. the American expedition for raising the
Russian vessels sunk in the harbor Of SevastopO had
abandoned the work and set out on its return. We
are happy to learn that this is gro'' mistake Ad'
vices direct from Ssvastopol, received BY the Baltic
chow that Mr. Lee, the chief officer Of the Boston e1
petition WA still erergeiicaly at work with u'abated
Conscience, though the labor Of preparing the vessels
for raising had proved Unexpectedly srduou'. Mr..
Lee had recently sent Of his vessels to CONSTANT
nopls for supplies, from which crcumisance doubtless
the report originated. We have in hand number OF
letters from an intelligent lady connected with this e1'
pedi.ion, which will soon appear in our columns.

with special eye to having majority thoroughly
reliable to .tsnd by the Lecompton swinde to the

Committee will doubtless stand six to three, with

Of crises despite all the warnings of the past, in
regular intervals. forbids the idea Of seeking their
final causes in the reckessnees Of single individ'

speculation itself WIS engendered in the previous
phases Of the period, and is therefore, itself re-
suit and an accident, instead of the FINAL cause and

tend to explain the regular spasms of industry and
commerce by speculation, resemble the now extinct
