Gushing, late Atorney General of the United
Slates, was received by its citizens with every
dem> nstration of respect. He delivered to them

and eloquence. In oue portion ol it he speaks n

age. and particularly ofthe war now being wuged

•' I pray you uot to misunderstand me. I reprobate not war itself, but all irregular enterprises ot
war. I bold that tbe issues of peace belong to
the soverign power of tlie Union, and should not
be wantouly usurped by individual rashness. I

The United Slates require no such instruments
*o help them lorwurd to the consummation of their
destinies in America. On the cmtraiy, they
impede us just as Walker, without capacity or
possible good in himse.f, has only served to ob
struct national purposes in Mexico, in Nicaragua,
in all Spanish America. And sue h th ngs tend to
discredit us also. Thus far. if here be. in all the
annals of time, a case ot a mighty nation steadily
advancing to its zenith in the shining light ol un
t«rnEshed honor, it is these United Stated. So

Choat's Chihogiiapuy.—A good story about
Mr. Cboat's chitography may be found on the firat

man ou the Central route, notifying bim that he
must remove a barn, which in »ome manner incommoded the road, under penalty of prosecution

carriei herself with a haughty air towards her late
enemies, and especially towards England. She
refused the English Commissioner admittance to
the fortress of Kars. and belore surrendering that
Asiatic stronghold to tb.* 1 urks, she is demolish-

troyeu tbe works on the south side of Sevastopol.
She raiseB a question of boundary in Asia with
Turkey, and oh-tinately adheres to her own inter-
pret»tion ofthe treaty of peace.
Then we find them building a new fortress at
the mouth of lhe Danube, preparing to reconstruct
the Sevastopol docks, and strengthen her del' n-
e works at Nic.daeifl and Odessa. Her Baltic
fleet is being inert ased by new war steamers, and

Such are the practical answers which Russia
makes lo lhe bombast of lhe English press about
her exhaustion ana humiliation in the late war.
The war, iu f»ct, settled nothing, and effected
nothing beyond an enormous waste of life and
reasure. The Easf-rn question Btill remains a
souice of disquietude and fear. The *'Sick Man"
has not improved, but grown worse under the
treatment of bis Western physicians. "The liberties of Europe " may be disturbed on any day.
Nothing ol practical value haa been done to'pro-
mote the independence and prosperity of lbe Oun-
ubian Provinces. Nol a single peop e, elate or
country in Europe has been bettered by the war-
Oppr- ssion is ranker now over Europe thau belore
the war commenced.
And intelligent, far-seeing Americana have been
abused aud denounced because th.'y withheld their
sympathies Irom the Allies while they waged a
war whose barreu ii-sue they foresaw and predicted. They were nol deceived by nhatn professions,
and the rusult has justified their reserve. Popular liberty gains nothing by the Russian war, and
England has 'lost not gained by it, because she
leared to strike a blow for popular rights in Eu-
lOpe,—N. Y. Sun.

him say, that he won id bore a well thirty feet
leep, put the pipe iu and set the pump, for the

his?
The kind of well is that of which we have
spoken, bored with a twe-inch augur, and made to

be attached the windmi lis, Buch as are used so generally in Stockton, and now the best in the State.
