Camp, Sehastopol, Nov 34.1855

Ruined as was Sebastopol, when abandoned by- the Ruasisos—burtted. broken down, and destroy- ed, as we found it on the morning of the 6th Sep- tember—its aspect is now more desolate than ever. In the ntidst of the general overthrow, there were still some large ediﬁces entire, which testified to tbcformer splendour of the spot, and spoke of the euerg v and taste of otir enemies. Since then two forces have been at work completing the destruction of those well-fought remains. and, between the picluixe of the Allies, and the can. non ofthe Russians, the remnants of Sebastopol are fast returning to the dust out of which they were created. 'I‘he stately ediﬁces. churches, clubs, and barracks, are falling piecemeal before us every day; and the stones or wood no longer grace structures of ambitious elegance, but descend to the more useful erection of huts and stables. The well known Temple in Sebas- topol West, the barracks and hospitals and the docltyards, and other large palaces and houses are unroofed,and partially carried away; whilst the Russians. intent on the dsstli of the spoilers, fire away daily volleys, their shot and shell reverber- sting amongst the ruins, and casting up volumes ofdust and stones wherever they alight. Sebas- topol will shortly oﬁer the spectacle of unsightjy gables and rugged walls in the whole of its extent; and, through the wreaths of snow which already encircle it, one may almost fancy that the gaunt relics around are a wilderness of tombs- the sole memorials ofa race now departed. Whilst these changes are daily visible on the shoresofthe harbour near which the Russians still linger, with that love of old haunts which charscterises almost every anitnal in the creation whilst one town is disappearing, another is rising on the -lii|l—of a less permanent and solid appearance, it is true, but more vast. and more suited to our present purposes. 'I'lic elevated plain of Cliersonese, is now a perfect wilderness of huts, intersected by broad and well constructed reads, drained on the most appreved principle, and metalled, to meet the exigencies of large traﬁic during the furthconiing period of winter.

CLEANSING GaaN.aitis:s.—All gr-unaries should be well cleansed before the grain is stored therein. As to modes ofcleansing we will give two recipes. The ﬁrst is that practised by the late Hon. \‘Vil|iam Carmichael, of Queen Ann's County, Maryland, who was one of 0lIl' most en- lightened, painstaking farincrs-—the latter is our own: I. Mr. Curmicliacl says:— “ \Vlien tny granaries are clear ofgruin, I place powdered britnstone in an earthen jar, which for safety I put on the floor in a bed of sand, closing doors and windows, and ﬁre it. The smoke either destroys them [the weevill or drivcstheiii off.” 2. In the first place sweep the ceiling and sides of your granary, then sweep the floor, take the wall’s dust and dirt careful- ly up and burn it. Do not sweep it out of doors to breed millions of insects, to damage your next yeur’s crop. This done wash the ceiling, side walls, and floor with strong ley, and then complete your cleansing, by wliite-washing the entire in- terior of your granary, ceiling, walls, and lloor.—E:t'cltarige Paper.

E.\'ERCl'€E IN rite OPEN Aiti.—-Froin Harts- teno's expedition tothe Polar Sea, we extract the following:—“ Nature has qualiﬁed man to breathe an atmosphere I20 degrees above zero, or 60 below it, a difference of 180 degrees, with- out injury to health ; and the doctrines of physi- cians that great and sudden changes of tempera- ture are injurious to health is disproved by re- corded facts. There are very few Arctic nav- igators who die in the Arctic zone; it is the most healthy climate on the globe to those who breathe the open air. We have, among our associate observers, one who observes and records the changes of temperature in Australia, where the temperature rose to H5 at 3 o'clock, I’. ., and next morning at 5 was down to 40 degrees —a change of75 degrees in fourteen hours; there the people are hea|tliy—and another at Franconiti, (N. H.,) ivhere the changes are the most sudden, the most frequent, and of the great- est extent of any place with which I am in cor- respondencs on the American Continent ; and yet there is no town of its size that has so greats proportion of’ its inhabitants who pass the age of three-score years and ten. It is the quality o the changed air that constitutes the difference that physicians notice, and not the temperature.”

The Dublin Mail states that govern- ment have resolved on sending upwards of 50,000 English Militia to Ireland. It is well known that it great paucity of bar- rack accommodation exists in England, while in Ireland there are buildings going to ruin capable ofcontaining a vast army. 'l‘hc billeting system in England has be- come so unpopular that government are foiced to put a stop to it, and hence the resolution they have coins to of sending so large a force to Ireland.

Glcanlngs from late Papers.

Tits M0ltMONl—HANDCAR1'l roit THI: Gitizar Sam‘ LaitI.—Tlie Mormon, s Latter Day Saint paper, published in this city, is out with a long article illustrating to the enterprising Saints bound for the Great Salt Lake, who cannot raise the means for horses, mules ot oxen, the feasibility of using handcarts for the transportation oftlieir small children and baggage a thousand miles from the frontiers of Missouri, over the great plains and de- sert defiles of the Rocky Mountains to the Mormon city of Zion. In this connection,a useful hitit is suggested by a class of liandcartmen in this city, who go around early in the morning to gather up the slope and kitchen waste of our boarding houses. Each of these haiidcartinen is assisted by the auxiliary force of one or two strong dogs, harnessed to his vehicle. On the Red river of the North, (the head streams of which flow north- ward from the plateau of the head waters of the Mississippi.) they employ dogs in their trans or- tation southward to Minnesota, exclusively. ho has not heard of their dog train? Why, there- fore may not the same animals b- employed by the poorer class of Saints in the transportation of their goods and chattels to their Holy City fioin the Missouri frontiers. In 1846, when thefurore cftlie gold discoveries in California carried out there overland a regular harum-svarum crusade of gold-hunters, there was at least one heroic man among tlietit who achieved the feat of crossing the cotttineot from Mississippi, deserts and all, with n handcart, which proves that the thing can be done.’

Our advice, however. to all the outside Mor- mons destined for the Great Salt Lake, rich and poor. is not to go there at all, at least, until they shall see what another season shall bring forth in Utah. Locusts and criokcts have made and havoc among the crops there this past season, and there will probably be for the next eight months an in- suﬂicieut supply of bread for the ﬁfty thousand Sains already there; and should the locusts. or graesltoppers, as they are commonly called. return next summer, the whole body of the Saints, with the great patriarchal Brigham at their head. may may be conipelled to make an exodus en masxe to some other location, Gtid only ktiows where. In this view, from considerations of hum:inity, we would recommend all those pilgrim Mormons who desire to reach their new Jerusalem as soon as possible, to wait at least till next autumn. In the meantime, the locusts may return, and there may be the very dance to pay between Father Brigham and the United States authorities, civil and milit- ary. The iii-coining Saints from Europe had better join the colony nl'Colonel Kinney or the army ofGeneral Walker in Nicaragua, than go to Utah before the experiment there of another harvest is tried. Time, we think. will prove

thatthis is good advice.—N. Y. Hera .

A Ittziitaititanas: SPEAKING Tuna.-—A fact in acousticeliasjust been established at Mr ll. Green- tvood's printing establishment. Mr. Greenwood’s private office is in Canning-place, his prittting office in 'I'ralTnrd-cliambers, South Jolin-street, The distance is about 4000 feet. and on Monday a gotta-perclia tube, of an inch inch diainetor, was carried through yards, houses, cellars, &c., and then passed up to the upper storey of Trail‘- ord-chambers. Wliencompleted. the effect was tested with perfect success. A person speaking at otie extremity in Canning-place was heard as distinctly in South John- street as if he had been within a yard of the speaker. The tube was manufactured and fixed up by Mr. S. Hollewell, of the Quadrant, Limo-street. Some scientific gentleman recommended a tube of a larger diame- ter, and one of an inch and a half was tried with- out success ; and the inference is, that the small- er the tube the more distinct the words conveyed. Does this suggest the possibility of s speaking- ttibe for miles along a railwayl—Lt't~¢-ryzoiol

Tits Pitoru: or Noitwav-Ne traveller can. have familiarly associated with the inhabitants of this romantic land without returning favourably impressed by the frequent proofs he will have received in the course of his rambles-—among whatever classes he may chance to have been thrown—of their frank, kindly, and hospitable

' position , nor have failed to mark the manly, but well-controlled spirit of independence which distinguishes the national character. Norway, in truth, besides her great natural beauty, pre- sents at this moment a moral picture of extreme interest. It oﬂ'erI to the world the spectacle of a poor. comparatively insigniﬁcant, and recently disenthralled ople, who, by not abusing their new constitutional privileges even where abuse might have been atpprehended, have consolidated their freedom ; an , by enlisting the sympathies and commanding the respect of other nations, have acquired for their country a moral strength far greater than its limited territory, population, and means could have created. It exhibits a state of society, in which the means of subsistence and the common comforts of life are very e uslly diffused, and the connection between the di rent classes is harmoniously maintained. In short, it resents a spectacle of a free, a highspirited,n se f-governed, but a united and contented people. —Forruter‘s in or-way.

“ Wait a little longer I"

The battle of prohibition is not yet fought. l‘he temperance men of ltltiine will yet show to the world that they will protect themselves from the grogshops. The reign of violence is not always.-—Tlie reign of rum is not for ever.

What though tlte demoniacal shout oftriurtipli goes up from every den in the latid ? 'I‘tiis triumph is slzort. 'l'he hopes of humanity are not thus to be crushed forever, the woes of wives and children are not to be perpetuated always.

There is a stern logic in events, and elections which are carried as this has been, do not prove the backward tendency of revolutions. As " vaulting ambition o’erleaps itself," so do such reactions recoil upon themselves. and you shall, inafeiv months, loolr for the successful party which is now shouting itself hoarse in our streets, and it cannot be found.

Temperance men of Maine ! hold to your integ- rity. “ Don't give up the ship. " Organize! organize! and let us be up and doing, and the mad triumph of our enemies today will but has- ten them to a speedier overthrow.

We never felt more like doing battle, than we do now, and if Heaven spares our life. we will not cease to labor in this good cause, till the last Qgogl-1eVh0p' IS DRIVFN FROM THE SOIL 01"

I-‘rom forty-ﬁve to ﬁfty thousand men are with us, and they are men that may be counted on. In such a party, and with such mett, we will do and dare.—We are with them in ggod report and in evil report, in victory and defeat.

We had rather be defeated with a good cause. than to succeed with a bad one.

—“ .\lore true joy Marcellus exiled feels, Than Cutsar with the senate at his heels.’

\Vhen Ille.ll’llIll is apparently at a discount, when justice is turned backward, and equity is prostrate. we will bctake us to the side of truth, and share her fate rather than shout the praises of urong, for any temporary gain to us voueli- safed.

“ Then to side with truth is noble, When we share her hutrible crust,

Ere the cause brings lame and profit. And 'tis prosperous to be Just.

'I‘hen it is the brave tnan chooses, While the wavering stands aside-,,

Doubling in his abject spirit, Till his Lord is cruciﬁed,

And the tnultitutle make virtue of the faith they once denied.”

The temperance tnen of Maine will not be dis- heartened. though temporarily defeated, for is the end their triuiuph is sure.—-Maine paper.

moj: WHAT IS MODERATE DRINKING.

It is the great decciver of nations, promising health and long life, yet destroying more by its tendencies than war, famine, or the plague.

It is a sweet morsel in the mouth, but gravel in the stomach.

It is the A B C of drinking ; the picture book, leading the young and thoughtless to the worst lessons of intemperance.

It is regular quack medicine, msltiug splendid promises, but performing no cure, and yet demanding encurmous pay.

Itis the starting point to the work-house, the as lum, and the gallows.

I.) is s light-ﬁngered gentleman, who feels every corner of the drawer, and to the very bottom of the

urse!

It is the first step in an inclined plane of rapid descent, smooth as marble, and slippery as glass, ending in an abyss of rain.

It is a beautiful serpent, whose fangs and deadly venom are concealed by the dazzling of bis_ coils.

It is hypocrisy personiﬁed, an aﬂ'ected outside se- bricty, while all is agitation and uncleanness wit in.

It is the landlord's bird-lime, by which be ac- cures his victims. and fostsns them in a cage.

It is an ignis faturu lumping _its fated followers over trembling bogs, and tumbling them down a frightful precipice. _

It is the whirlpool of rum in which tbousands have sunk to rise no more. _ _ ‘

It tsppeltl an angel of light. assuming asmiling

countenance, but in reality a demon of the bottom- less pit. ~
