A Russian officer, writing about the
Crimean war, says the difference pre-
sented by the captive English and
French soldiers was very Marked
The former were almost always shock
ingly wounded before being taken
prisoners; the latter often quite
sound, and only some times bearing
few insignificant scratches. And even
if so wounded, the English soldier
did not give up his anamosity to the
Russians, while tho Frenchman imme-
diately fraternized with them.
Gov. Bullock offers three rewards

white man with no protection of the
sort.
y Hlovement is to be mado during
the present session of Congress, to
restore to Virginia the territory
fi!ched from her during the war, and

ment in West Virginia in favor of the

it. -
The vine is cultivated in seventy.

The cultivation and producing of vine

look well to himself He should fast and
pray until his face breaks forth into light.
