th; is not the South the sole, unprovoked author, without provocation, cause, or excuse, of these dissensions, and the party indirectly, but most severely, condemned by the Czar on account of them? By this sort of self-complacent logic, they find a most favorable interpretation in their own behalf of the Emperor's letter; and then they go to work to account for this most demonstrative sympathy for their cause and their section. The inevitable Edward Everett comes forward in a letter to Bonner's New York Ledger to account for this sympathy, and to unravel and explain the diplomatic mysteries connected with it. Mr. Everett doubtless has some other objects in view. Sumner and Wilson, the ultra abolitionists, of Boston, have shot far ahead of him of late years in political life. As violent an abolitionist as either of them, he long thought it most politic to take the conservative tack, and cultivate the favor of both South and North. Secession has left him high and dry in that pat

in greeting our statement how and when they should bring the civil war to a close." Thus it will be seen that even the Russian manifesto, about which that spavined old rheteacian, Edward Everett, has written one of his protest productions in Bonner's Ledger, is regarded by Lincoln's leading organ in New York, as every intelligent man in the South pronounced it at the time, a vague declaration of friendship for both countries, instead of "aid and comfort to the North, as the hyperborean and hyper lica contributor to Bonner imposes. Next came the Queen of State, who issued a proclamation of neutrality, enlistment by Spanish subjects on other side, and denunciatory of privateering. This was followed by a similar decree from the King of Portugal. "Thus." complains the Herald, "all of the principal European Power have deemed the efforts that are being made by this country to suppress rebellion, a fitting occasion to make an exception to the usual rules observed by diplomatists in

Edward Everett. This polished craven, who has served both God and Mammon; who has been preacher, politician, sycophant, conservative, fanatic, by turns, and any and everything where thrift might follow after, is still writing for Bonner's Ledger. His latest essay under the patronage of Sylvanus Cobb, is on "Intervention." He declaims most bitterly against anything of the kind. He thinks it impossible that England can do anything so monstrous. Of course he does. And he cunningly argues that the Southern statesmen have always been the enemies of England. Also, of course. Fearing England, he would now frown on her ! He declares that, "to go to war with the United States to obtain a supply of cotton, would be a violation of the law of nations." He urges on England not to think of any such thing! Of course England will respect the reasons and the remonstrances of the accomplished sycophant, who is defending a war of rapine against sovereign States, and maintaining outrages of hu

Fire. --On Wednesday night, about eleven o'clock, the musical instrument store of Bonner & Sapper, on Main street, between Seventh and Eighth, was set on fire, and the most of the stock and the interior of the store were destroyed. It appeared from a subsequent examination of the premises that the fastening of a shutter on the rear porch of the tenement had been removed and four bottles, which had contained spirits of turpentine, were found on the floor inside, showing that the fire was caused by a deliberate act of incendiarism. The stock, consisting of pianofortes and other musical instruments and merchandise, was almost completely destroyed.--It was valued at about $14,000, and was insured for $12,000 in the following companies: The Merchants' and Mechanics' and the Maryland Fire Insurance Company of Baltimore, and the Phœnix of Hartford, Connecticut.
