TssE POLISH QUESTION.

| BY the E,na. which arrived oil Cape Race
yesterday, We receive the news that by decree
of 'hc Russian Emperor the Government Of
some district of some Provinces has been incor-
poTatod with the Russian Empire. There is IA
gross blunder in the proper names ~ they reach
IT., for there are no such provinces a. Iona.
There Is town of Lomza aud province OF
Augustowo, but whether these are meant or not,
We are, OF course, unable 10 say. But there
seems 10 be- no doubt that, according to this dis
patch, some district which has hitherto belonged
10 tho kingdom of Poland has been incorporated
with Russia proper. II this should be con-
Grmcd, the event will probably have serious
consequences in the Polish complication. En-.
gland and France have for some time semi
officially, threatened Russia that they would
declare her title TO Poland forfeited, because she
had not complied with the treaties Of 1915. An
incorporation Of a part of Poland with Russia
would be tantamount to declaration that
Russia will no longer consider herself bound
by those treaties. IL would be the most direct
challenge yet made TO the Western Powers to
20 to war in behalf Of Poland if they dare, and
would leave 10 them thc alternative either 10
unite for aggressive purposes against Russia, or
to cease to meddle in the Polish question in any

RRREL TESTIMONY.

What value the Rebels set on Chattanooga,
and what they sobcrly think Of the battle OF
Cbickamauga, may in some measure be under
stood by help of an article from The (sometime)
Chattanooga Rebel, reprinted in another column
1t is not necessary to presume that that paper
speaks with authority, but it undoubtedly ex'
presses the general popular opinion Oh the OBJ

the battle went against us on the field, the
victory has been in most respects barren one

The Rebels appreciate the value OF Tennessee
