publican character. 1t is the natural, neces
sary protest and revolt Of not = S1ass or
ordor, but an ancient and glorious nation,
against the crushing, killing union with
ssothsr nationality and form of society. 1t is
not the poverty, and plebeian or proletoire in
forest rising up against superior classes ;rather
it is the sristocratic and b'Sr-bred national
pride of Poland rovolting against the coarse
brute power of Russian imperialism. 1t is
the whole nation rising up to make an Exodus
in its several ranks and classes as it stands,
from the sitting atmosphere of alien rule
At bottom, the cause of Poland is the same
cause Tor which tho Oonfederates are now
fighting.
This being tie CAGE Thrust give US plea
sure to know, by the last advices from Eu-
rope that the instruction against Russia is
spreading and strengthening. The ccmuan-
der-in-ohief is no other than Mioroslswski,
the chief military chief in the last c fort Of
Germany to reconstituts and redeem German
nationality from the dynastic influence of the
great powers. He is at the head OF $4,000
men, although no single corps numbers more
than 1000. Here is one extract from our
latest news which seems to exhibits the En-
psror Of Russia asking in as great haste to
"crush the rebellion within given time, as
MIR. Lincoln.to break our backbone:

taliatory proclamation and message, and ex-
changes will go on as heretofore.

They are actions of assumpsit on note for

maturity Of the note, plaintiffs extended the
time Of payment to the promissor, without no.
tice thereof to the defendants. The testimony
was conflicting upon this point, one party tes
tifying that no such extension was made,
while the other party testified directly to the
contrary. These cases were tried at the Oc-

3 verdict.

A Coop THING AccoMPLIsHED.-we step
ped into Mechanics Hall day or two since
and found that the Mechanic Association, In
connection with the Association Of Spiritual
lists, who occupy it for lectures on Sundays,
have tastefully, not to say elegantly, trimmed
the hall with evergreen. This efiectually coun-
teracts the echo which has formerly been bar
to comfortable listening. and gives beautiful
appearance to the hall when lighted. The
Mechanics deserve much credit not only for
erecting so beautiful structure, both exter-
nally and internally for the use of our citizens,
but for the commendabe zeal which they have
ever shown to remove all objections to their
hall, and render it in all respects adapted to
public use. This or some other mode of deco
ration will! undoubtedly become permanent,
and leave little TO be asked for to make the
hall all that 1t was intended to be. Before
closing this brief notice we desire also to say
that our Spiritual friends are entitled to much
credit for their efforts to.procure and render
attractive central and convenient place,
where those who desire may attend their
meetings, which they have admirably accom-
plished by the selection of the above named
hall.

at once proceeded to replace it; but found
on arriving at the ledge. that the buoy had
drilled over two miles n. E., and on taking it
on board it was seen tina. the mooring chain
had parted near the granite rock which an
chors it; and that the end of the chain had
caught in the rocks on the bottom and held
the buoy fast As it took till nearly dark to
raise it, the tender had to stand in to the roads
and anchor over night, so that next morning
when the British steamer North American
came In early, she could not find the buoy, but
fortunately cleared the ledge which has about
Is to 20 feet on it at low water. The buoy has
been replaced and a new chain attached.
This ledge was formerly known as rock-cod
ledge to our fishermen and others, but in the
last war with England, our port, 1t will be re-

New Orleans advices state that Gen. Welt
zePs expedition tu Bayou Teche had not start

part OF the forces for another purpose up the
river.

Hudson, but they could not be traced TO any
reliable sources.
There was talk of another expedition under
Gen. Sherman being fitted out Also report
that another armed vessel had slipped out of
Mobile harbor.
News from Galveston is to the effect that
our fleet had entered the bay, but found it so
strongly fortified that it was deemed best to
withdraw for the present.
Later.-The steamer Geo. Cromwell, from
New Orleans 18th, arrived this evening.
