The CAPTURE OF SCaAMYL-RUs-
SIAN ACCOUNTABLE St. Petersburg
correspondent Of lie N"ord gives the
following details respecting the capture
of this famous Circasslan chief, the
correctness of which he, vouches for.
After describing the plan Of attack
which had been arranged by Prince
BariatiDski, the account proceeds {:
The fight was one Of the most desper-
ate character, but the Murides, placed
between two fires, saw that resistance
or fight was equally impossible. Out
Of 400 men who formed the garrison Of
GouDib, II only remained aIlre.
Schamyl shut himself up in one of the
habitations which were cut into the rock.
The plateau was covered with corpses.
We lest one hundred men. When
Prince Bariatinski arrived on this plat
eau, he stopped the firing, and address
ing Schamyl, summoned him to sur
render. The Imaum, appearing at an
aperture which had been made in the
rock, asked on what condition he was
required to yield. sleeve your re-
treat unconditionally," replied the
Commander in 4 hlef. He who had
been our bitterest enemy for so many
years then came forth. "Are you
Schamyl? :" asked the Prince. eyes"
replied the Imaum. "rhen your life
is spared, and you will retain your
wives ard property. But 1 shall send
you to st. Petersburg tomorrow, and
your fate must finally depend on the
will Of the Emperor, my august mas
ter" Schamyl bent his head without
uttering word. The general then
said, II waited for you a long time at
Tifis; I hoped you would cor of your
self and make your submission, but you
forced me to come here in search of
you" Then, turf irg to Lieutenant
Col. Grabbe, he said, Proceed forth
with to St. Petersburg, and report to
the Emperor what you have seen. To-
morrow l will send report and Scha-

LAUaHrEA-Laughter is as health
full to the body as gladness is to the
mind; and there is not q more beautiful
spectacle than sinking face, when you
know it is the true index Of the soul
within. We do not speak Of that spe-
cies ofidiotic laughter which is sure to
follow the exhibition Of any lsw trick,
or the utterancs Of any coarse jeat; but
that genial outburst that enlivens the
circle when men, like true philosophers,
70 get their past cares, and put of till
the morrow all apprehensions regard

Col. BAKER.-"Occasional," the
Washington correspondent o. Forney's
'taper writes; r.
= Don't you remember, Col. Edward
D. Baker, of Illinois, the eloquent eulo-
gist of Broderick? He was an Opposi-
ton Representative when you were
the Democratic candidate for Clerk
and defeated) in 1849-50. He was
distinguished for his powerful speeches
was his patriotic actions. Col. Baker
and born in England, and settled in
Illinois, from which State, after being
naturalized, he was elected to Congress.
He fought with great gallantry In the
Mexican war, and afterwards repre-
scented the district which had been pre-
viously, and was subsequently, repre-
scented by the late distinguished Thorn
as L. Harris. While member Of the
House, his martial spirit and manly ell
oquence made such an impression that
the ladies sojourning at the Nationa,
Hotel held . spontaneous meeting
and presented him with beautiful
sword. / remember very we'll that he
received it from the hands of the ac-
complished Mrs. George Pitt, of Phil
adelphia. He is man Of the noblest
impulses; and although q member of
the Republican party, his disinterested
support Of Nc Kibben, in the late can
vass, and his resolute adherence to the
gallant Broderick, will never be for
gotten. OF all his -ublic speeches,
however, none approaches in COM
and nervous rhetoric, and
heartfelt sympathy, that pronounced
over the grave Of Broderick.

MR. JEFFERSON BRICK HARD TO PLEAsE.---Our
quadrilateral contemporary, only few days
ago, if we are not mistaken, was sorely dis
pleased on account of the alleged neglect by
the administration Of Brownsville and the inn
mediate Texas frontier occupied by the flibus-
ter Cortinas. But upon hearing that Mr. Blu
cbanan had resolved not only to clear out these
alibustering vagabonds, but to march an army
Of occupation into the Northern provinces Of
Mexico, Mr.. Brick can hardly find terms sufi-
GENTLY strong in which to express his indigna-
ton and disgust. What, then, does the running
hero of the quadrilateral want? Is it q limi-
tation Of our military operations to 'the elbows
of the Mincio," or "a foreign feet suddenly
coming up on our question Of citizenship" or
anything Of that sorts Speak out, Master

A VOICE TO THE OPERA MANAGERs-DoN'r
MISS F1ouRE.-About thirty years ago it was
our good fortune to hear the celebrated John
Randolph, of Roanoke, make one of his best
speeches in the federal House Of Representa-
tives. He closed most eloquent forensic
effort, in which he had dwelt upon the circum-
stance that the virtuous career of many great
men had been arrested by some apparently
trivial mistake, and pointed his moral with an
allusion to the Russian expedition of the great
Napoleon, wherein, said Mr.. Randolph, the
greatest captain of the age missed figure.
He made blunder, which was worse than a
crime, and never recovered from its effects.
If we look at the career of many men in
various paths of public life-warriors, states
men, diplomats, Journalists politicians, and
even down to opera managers and showmen---
we shall find that the missing of the very
smallest figure is frequently attended with the
most disastrous results upsetting in moment
the schemes and calculations which have cost
many days Of anxious thought, as well as
the expenditure Of large amounts of money.
Among other instances we may select that
of the illustrious Barnum, who from
small beginnings worked his way up to
a high position and superb fortune. He
missed figure when he dipped into the clock
business, and sustained Waterloo defeat. He
found his St. Helena in Connecticut. A
number of other very clever people have met
with Barnum's fate, and the present managers
of the Opera in this city have had very mar
row escape from 1t. No opera season ever
opened under finer auspices than this. Con-
Quoting separate companies, and frequently in
warfare with each other, Messrs. Ullman and
Strakosch had high regulations with the public.
They had both done great deal for art in this
country, and had brought over some of the
best performers that have ever visited us.
They were known as clever men, who had the
confidence of the operate public, and were
perfectly well acquainted with it's tastes.
When, therefore, these impresarii, so long
rivals, joined hands as co-partners, and COM
menced operations with guaranteed capital
Of twenty Ave thousand dollars, furnished BY
the stockholders, every one naturally expected
that the Opera would flourish as 4 never had
fiourished before, and the fashionable world
was as joyful over the delightful prospect %
the rules Of propriety would permit.
But Strakosch, clever as he was, missed q
figure. He went to Europe, and his Italian In
vasion was almost as disastrous as NapoleonS

The Position and Prospects OF the Re
publican Party.

The Position and Prospects Of the Re-
publican Party.
Thirty years ago small knot Of enthusiasts,
following in the footsteps of the English IA
natics of Exeter Hall, started the abolition
party in this country.
AS a party it has never been a successful
institution. Beginning its career at time
when tbe abolitionists of England were about
to achieve their triumphant destruction of the
industrial, social and moral organizations of
the British West India colonies, its fallacious
theories have had to encounter in their propa-
CATION the hard facts Of failure in practical ap-
plication, set forth in the history Of the decline
Of jamaica and her sister islands. In addition
to this impeachment, the tide of abolitienism
began to ebb in Europe, and the fact has
naturally reacted upon its progress here. For
these reasons 1t has never attained in this
country the dimensions of a great party, and 1t
never will. The mania of philo-negroism has
run Its course in the world, and has achieved
all the triumphs 1t will ever obtain. But this
shadow of a party has been a convenient instru.
ment which disappointed politicians and am

The ORGANIZATION OF CoNGREss-WHAr's IN
THE WnD?-We clip the following oracular
paragraph from the Baltimore Patriot, which,
it is said, speaks by authority Of Hon. Henry
Winter Davis, a leading Southern opposition
member from said city,
Bennett transfers the Southern opposition and seven OF
the anIecomptonites to the democracy, body and
bones and makes them all vote for Southern opposition
s for Speaker just wait, sir, till the 9Th Of December,
and you'll see far different state OF things from that
though we know that's Secretary Cobb's plan. Tho
Southern opposition not TO be dictated by the Rich
mond Whig or the NKw YoRK HERALD
What can this mean? Mr.. sCobb's plan is a
union of the democrats upon Southern oppo-
sition member for Speaker; The plan Of the
Richmond Wing is that the Southern opposition
men shall stand, first and last, to their own can
didate as an independent party. Mr.. Winter
Davis, we know, on the other hand, has urged
coalition between the Southern and Northern
wings Of the opposition. Perhaps, then, some
Of the Southern wing are prepared to 90 shares
with the republicans in the organization Of the
House. Who speaks next?
