PRESENT STATE OF THE WAR.The wvar has now entered into one of those

periods of pause and inaction which, even in themost stoutly maintained contests, must of neces-

sity intervene. Winter has closed the Balticagainst a further repetition of those maritimepromenades, wvhich, with the little interlude ofBomarsund, have employed the energies or oneof the finest fleets that ever left the shores ofEngland. The same cause has put an end tothe campaign in Armenia, and Turks and Rus-sians may there resign themselves for the nextsix months to a pence guaranted by the imperiousintervention of frost, snow, and ice. On thebanks of the Danube the flame of war has burntout, the Turks having neither food, clothes, normilitary stores sufficient for a seriously offensivemovement, and the Russians having betakenthemselves by sea and by land to reinforce thearmy of the Crimea.At Sebastopol itself the allies are looking for

shelter, ammunition, clothing, and reinforce-ments, and guarding against the possibility ofbeing tfrced to gain, at equal risk and equalcost, another victory like that of Inkernann.The Russians seem becoming every day moresensible of the tremendous blow they have re-

ceived, and, engaed probably in the difiiulttask of feeding and sheltering an army sent postfor our annihilation without anything but themost portable means of destruction, can take no

offensive measures. Both parties are recoveringtheir breath for a moment before they closeagain in the mortal struggle. This, then, is nounsuitable time for recollecting some lessons-ofexperience out of the mass of events, and trea-suring them up for future use. We have learntmuch, and have paid dear for our knowledge;let us hope that we shall not require to pay theprice a second time in order to lix the lesson on

our minds.-I ondon Times.

.TEI:Y WA.-TheC following~is ana letter received from a reliable cor-

.in Paris:occasions a general gloom. The

:egard to the war is one of regret and.e sufferings of the soldiers; the deathmy brave men ; the demoralization of

.h (of the country ; these arc the generals of conversation. There is no enthusi-.our successes. Th'le war is regarded as a

. .ful calamity. Nobody talks about glory.Even the military men deplore the war as adreadful necessity. I am told that ini Englandthe feeling is very miuch the same.

THE FEELING IN RussIa.-Extract of a letterfrom a respectable and well-informed citizen ofthe United States to a friend in Washington, d::-ted.

" ST. P'ETERSr.URG, RUSS1.\, Sept. 18. 1854."-DEAlt F: The war is scearccly begun.

There is no chance for any power, be it ever sogreat to conquer Russia. The empjeror is onlypreparing for war. Next year lhe will have inthe field, re dy for active battle, ono and a halfmillions of soldiers, well drilled. The peopleare all for the wvar, and he has no trouble in get.ting soldiers, for it is with them a religious war.They want the Christian faith to be sanctionedover the world. They are the most devotedpeople 'on earth, and the last crucifix will go forthe war before they give it up."

THE MAso:Ic FESTIvAL.-The celebration onWednesday of the Centennial Anniversary ofthe organization of the Grand Lodge of AncientFree Masons in South Carolina, was a most im-posing ceremony. rTe Fraternity, in theirvarious Orders and Degrees, were presenit instrong nunmbers, and the procession was one ofthe largest ever witnessed in this city. Theday itself was one of the pleasantest of the sea-

son-bright, balmy and invigorating, and thestreets were thronged with gratified spectators.Having reached the South Carolina Institute. thefiles were opened, and the procession entered ininverted order, and was followed by citizens,until the vast hall was filled to its utmost limits-the galleries presenting a brilliant array ofloveliness and beauty. After singing an anthemand prayer, an oration was delivered by Dr.Samuel Henry Dickson, in its composition anddelivery, was worthy his high reputation as ascholar and an orator. His Masonic breterenevinced their estimate of its merits by passinga vote of thanks, and requesting a copy of it forpublication. After singing an ode, the craftagain formed in procession, and marched to theMasonic Hall, where the business of the daywas appropriately terminated.--Charleston Mer-cury.

DEATH OF SENATOR A. M. RUITH.-The Caro-linian of Wednesday says:We regret to learn the death yesterday, at

Hunt's Hotel, of Col. A. M. Ruth, Senator fromSt. Peters Parish. He had been ill for a weekwith pneumonia, and was progressing favorably,when a sudden metastasis from his chest to thebrain brought on apoplectic symptoms, and hedied from convulsions. He had every attention,medical and social, and his devoted wife reachedhim just in time to witness the last sad struggle.He was a gentleman in high esteem, and a kindand indulgent parent, husband and brother.

THEz RUSSIAN LoAN.-It is reported that theRussian loan has been taken at St. Petersburgby the house of Stieglietz, one of the most emi-nent banking establishimenits of the continent.Mr. Stieglietz took the whole amount of fiftymillions of silver roubles, or about $35,000,000,in 44 per cent. stock, on his own risk, at the rate

of 92. The loan already sells actively at 94 atSt. Petersburg. The New York Tribune says:Foreign capitalists, such as the Hopes, in

Amsterdam, the Rothschihds, in Frankfort, withwhom Mr. Belmont is connected and others,ave bronght a large amount, and, if we are in-frmed, a house in WVall st. is in possession ofhe official imperial papers connected with this

peration. '1 he story told about it, is, that theoan was made only to give the lie to the asser-

ion of French and English newspaper that theussian Treasury does not enjoy any credit in

ussia. Its likewise stated that Mr. Takowlelf,ofSt eter..',, ne of the richest owners of

mines in the world, whose accumulated ealthalone amounts to some sixty or eighty millionsof dollars, wished to take this loan with his pri-vate capital, but this was refused by the Empe-ror, in order not to give an occasion to misre-

presentations. We give this statement as itreaches us, without vouching for its accuracy.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1855.

G OWING to the unusual amount of businessthat came before us in the Commissioner's office on

Monday and Tuesday, we found it utterly impossibleto prepare anything in the way of Editorial for thisissue. We will make ample amends in all the longyear before us.

Excelent Papers.IF any of our readers wish to enjoy the pleasure ol

reading two capital papers this year they should at

once subscribe to the " Southern Cultivator,"publish-ed at Augusta, Ga., and " Glcason's Pictorial" pub.lished in Boston. The former is a number one agricultural work, while the latter is a handsomely illus.trated and very interesting literary sheet. Read the

prospectus of these two journals which may he foundin another column, and subscribe as early as possible.

A Meritod "Fuff."Tu Augusta Constitutionalist of a recent date,

contains the following notice of Mr. RoEr.-r CAU-ROLL'S mauinoth Boot and Shoe establishment. We

can testify to the correctness of the statement, as out

Foreman informs us that he visited said store a shorttime since, and was pleased to find Mr. C's shelvesand counters literally crowded with an extensive va-

riety of Boots, Shoes, &c. We append the extract:

Boo'rs AND SHES.-We called in yesterday at theBoot and Shoe Store of Mr. R. Carroll, on Broadstreet, nearly opposite the United States Hotel, andfound a large and well selected stock of Boots, Ladiesand Children's Shoes and Brogans. Those in want ofa good article, we would advise to give him a call.

Condensed Items,tP WE learn from a passenger whoarrived in this

city, (says the Charleston Courier) on Wednesday, the26th ult., that a fire broke out in a two story wooden

building, occupied as a baker's shop, in the main street

of Aiken, at an early hour yesterday morning, whichextended to the adjoining buildings and resulted in thetotal destruction of five or six. The fire is believedto have been accidental.

V From an observance of the opinions entertain-ed by several journals in various parts of the country,there appears to be a general and determined move-

ment for the repeal of the usury laws. May success

FO THE ADVERTiSER.THE YING YEAR.

'Tis shrived and low, the good old year,With all its varied hopes and fears,

And fancies bright, and memories dear,Were mingled with its joys and cares.

Full many a picture, fair and good,In glowing tints the short months traced;

Though lost to view, deep in our heartsThe dear Kaleidescope is traced.

Spring with her flowerm, the Summer's ft uits,The Autumn's glories, far and wide,

Old Winter with his hoary head,Have vanished on the changing tide.

Bright Christmas came, the good and fairDear old December's darling child,

And sorrowing hear ts and fell despair,Forgt their griefs, for joy, smiled.

Sweet maidens blushed when lovers spokeIn tender numbers soft and low;

And age forgot her waning sands,And lived her childhood o'er onco more.

But now 'tis gone! and sighing winds,Are wailing forth their sad dismay,

For Time with lifted scythe now stands,To mow the lingering hours away.

The sympathising skies weep now,And dew drops change to icy tears;

Like diamonds are they glittering low,Upon the shroud December wears.

Far from .he East are rumors dark,Of war and siege and bloody sttife;

While sad forebodings-lowering care

Upon the Wintry breeze are rife.

A few more grains and then the sandWill all have glided from the glass;

With vulture greed, the vortex waitsT' engulf the crunibling dying mass.

Another twelvemonth! Oh ! how sadThe changes which the eiele fell;

And ere another year shall die,Who then will lire's warm currents swell?

Who then shall sing the dying year ?Or greet its proud successor's reign ?

Or who shall droop and fade and die-Nor see the old year out again?

FOR THE ADVER'TISER.THE WEATHER, &c.

MR. EDITOR:-W here is the "oldest inhabitant?"If you know, please inquire of him, whether, in allthe course of his long life, he ever before knew a

Fall and Winter so dry and cold, in the main,as the

present have been so far. We have had no rain to

.speak of now for nearly four months; and since thefirst week in November, the cold has been almostuninterrupted-the termometer ranging at sunrise,at from 13 to 14 degrees below the freezing point.Such weather is very unusual in this climate.

In consequence of the cold, dry weather, theyoung wheat is rulyering very much, and if there isnot a change for the better soon, it will inevitablybe destroyed.

But, should the weather remain dry and coldalong through the winter, although it would provediastrous to the wheat crop, it would work wonderson our hard, red lands. Already are the benefitsof the cold to such lands perceptible. In walkingover them, the ground yieldr to the feet like a sandbed. And now is the time, brother farmer.,break up such 1*---

weather cver since. Formerly, the wet and dryspells were prety equ~ally distributed among the fourseasons ; but ntow the order is, three to four monthsof wet followed by the sante of dry weather. For-

mernrly, there were signs by which a eiOse observercould foretell what the wether would be for severalIdays to come ;butt now, if you s:ay in the mornhing,"it wid rain to-day, you may or may no.t hit it.

Our ast ronomiers aind wise ment ought to tell us thecause of this chang-. lBut I suppose they en't doit. They can calute correctly the conjnnetions,eclipses, and tram-its ;discover new planets and as-

teroids ;and they have even gone sc rtr fix out

'"The weather wiill either continue piretty muchas it is now. tmntil the mtiddle or last of .Janmuary,when it will set ini and be wet until thme middle or

BARoN DEKALB.-Congress proposes to give$66,000 to the relief of the heirs of Baron De.Kalb.

Baron DeKr.lb was one of the distinguishedforeigners who fought for the American causein the war of the revolution. He was a nativeof Germany, ar.d was born about the year 1717.He entered the French army at ar. early age,and rose to the rank of a brigadier general. Hewas in this country during the French war of41755. under an assumed character, the object ofhis visit being to obtain intelligence for the ben-efit of the French cabinet. He was suspectedand seized as a spy, but escaped, and returnedto -France 'after the conquest of Canada. Hecaine to this country again in company with Lata.yette, and entered our revolutionary army as avolunteer. He was soon promoted to the rankof major general. The Washington Union, inreferring to this bill in behalf his heirs, remarksthat there is something peculiarly interesting inthe history of Baron DeKalb, And says:

"11 e commanded the right wing of the Ameri-cans at Camden, South Carolina, and in thatfearful conflict he fell, in his last attempt toachieve a victory, pierced with eleven wounds.He was rescued from immediate dea-th by theChevalier du Bysson, his aid, who embraced theprostrate general, and received into Ils own

body the bayonets intended for his friend, ex-claimed, " save the Barog DeKalb; oh, save tileBaron DeKalb." The brave veteran survivedthe battle but a few days. Before his death hespoke these noble words: " I die the death Ialways prayed for-the death of a soldier fight-ing for the rights of man." When GeneralWashington visited Camden, mny years after,he went to the grave of the German patriot.After gazing upon it with a countenance mark-ed with deep thought, he exclaimed, with a sigh :"So there lies the brave DeKalb, the generousstranger, who came from a distant land to fightour battles, and to water-with his blood the treeof our liberty. Would to God he had lived toshar its fruits!"

THE USURY LAws.-The Richmond Enquir.er, the leading Democratic paper of Virginiasupports the repeal of these restrictious uponborrowers, for such they are, by earnest argu-ments. We extract the following from its arti.cle on the subject:

- It is a striking fact, that British experience isin favor of taking off restrictions upogghe loanof money as is shown by the following f.ets:

1. In 1818 a Committee of the House of Coum-mons reported against Usury Laws.

2. In August, 1833, the Laws were partiallyrepealed in Great Britain-bills of exchangehaving three months and less to run, being ex-

empted from their operation.3. This exchange worked well, and in July,

1837, the restricltions were taken off of notesand bills of exchange, having twelve months torun.

4. On the 5th of August 1854, Parliamentrepealed the Usury Laws utterly. The votewas unanimous to both Houses. It is now law.ful in Great Britain to loan money on any rateof interest, and on any description of property.In the course of the debate upon the measure inthe House of Lords, the Marquis of Lainadownused this remarkable language: "At the timeof the commercial failures in the years 1836 and1837, it was found that the greatest relief whichwas experienced was the result of a provisionwhich had been introduced not long previouslyinto the act for the renewal of the Bank Charter,enabling the Bank of England to dispense withthe Usury Laws."FATAL AFFRArv.-We are sorry to learn that

an affray occurred in Winnsboro, on Tuesdayevening, between Mr. R. N. McMaster and a Mr.-Barker, which resulted in the death of thelatter.The circumstances as we have been informed,

were briefly these: There was a "Christmas"dance given by some of Mr. 4- -

....ecue, but we are

Ihappy to leirn that his wound though serious,is not considered dangerous.-Columbia Times,28th ult. .

THE U. S. Senate Wednesday passed the bill,inltroduced at the former session, extending thmenaturalization laws to children (born abroad) ofAmerican parents cilizens of the United States.Also the bill for the payment. of invalid pensionswas passed, after it had been si amended as to

Tnoum.E FEARED IN TiHE M. E. Cucc.-Another breach is expected in the MethodistChurch. Rev. Dr. Bond, editor of the N. YorkChristian Advocate, in noticing the oppositionto the appropriations of missionary money to thepreachiers laboring in their slave-holding confer-ences, says:

" We have seen strange things in the lapse ofthree score years and ten, but this caps the eli-maux of the marvellous; and though we are noprophet, tnor the son of a prophet, we ventureto predict that mischief is now brewing in ourchurch-agitations, convulsions and disruptions,such as we have never witnessed before."

AUGUSTA RACES.-The annual Racing overhe Layfayette Course is nigh at hand, commen-ing on the 9th of January next, and lasting du-ing the week. The Purses offered are not onlygood, considcring the pressure of the times, butery creditable, and already there are on the,round a number of the finest stables the coun-

DECLNE IN RENTS IN NEW YoRK.-It is sta-ed that there are one hundred and sixty-one " toet," bills posted on buildings in Broadway alonemnd that there have not been so many unrentedstores in that street at any time since the greattriaisof 1836.7, as at present. The EveningPost says:This is the natural result of the exorbitant

ents that have prevailed in that great thorough-are. Only a year ago, and the common price oftfirst floor, 20 by 80 in a good location, was

B4,500 per annum; of a whole building, 25 by30 or 100 feet, ten or twelve thousand dollars;md we know one instance in which the owner

>f afine edifice, situated not a great way fromCanal-street, refused to fix a definite price for:he store, (20 by about 45 feet,) because he hadcen offered so much more than he had designedtaking-one applicant proposing to pay 86,000,md to deposit 20,000 worth of good stock as

luest of many of our -subscribers, we repub-ish the subjolned paragraphs which appearedn the fourth page of Wednesday's Courier, inur usual synopsis of the state of the moneynarket.The Montgomery, Ala., Mail of Thursday,

says:"intelligence was received here yesterday that

lotes on the Banks of Camden, Cheraw, andJeorgetown, South Carolina, were no longer-edeeued in Charleston. This news createdsome distrust among bankers here, and some ofIhem, in conscquenco reject the notes not onsly

)f the institutions named, but all of all interiorout-Carolina Banks. This is suicidal policy.rhere is not even a rumor that these notes areiot redeemed at their own counters, Until then,t is creative of unnecessary distrust, and pro-otive of very bad consequences to reject them."We are deeply indebted to the Mail for its

rompt defence of our Banking Institutions,id can assure it that we have every reason toeilieve that they are beyond suspicion. Thestokholders are liable to double the amount of

hieir subscriptions, and there is no instance weelieve on record of any bill holders ever having-uffered from the failure of a bank in this State,onscquently the citizens of other States needave no fear relative to the prudence of accept-

OBITUARY.DIED of Dysentery and Fever, at his residence

in this District, on the 14th December, Mr. RoarT-rC. Josr.s, aged about 43 years.The deceased was born near Athens, Ga., % here,

at an early period of his life, he professed religionand was connected with the Baptist Church. Heremoved to A ugusta in the year 1633 or '34. andwas married in Edgefield District, South Carolina,in the year 1835, and shortly after settled in theDistrict. For about ten years he did not associatehimself wihh any Church and with frail human, trodthe open path of sin. lie was however connectedwith the Red Oak Groi e Church, but for a few yearsonly, and again tempted nature strayed inebrietyand seemed without hope, till about lour years agowhen his heart forbade the thirst and he was re-formed to the great gratification of his family andfriends. During his ilitIess he said " my dear wife,you are aware that I cannot get well, but I feel thatI shall die happy in the Lord," and but a few hoursbefore the final dissolution, he bade his daughterfarewell and encouraged her to meet him hereafter.Ile leaves anaffectionate wife and fond daughterwith many friends to mourn their irreparable loss.

N.DiED, on the I1th December last, in the 76th

year of his age, Mr. ISAAc BELL.This short notice is not intended to de'ineate the

charneter of the deceasedi, but to speak of sonic orhis Christian virtues which was made so lright bythe many vicissitudes through which, in the provi.dence of God, he had to go. And to use his ownlanguage, " was blessed in them all." He lived tobury iine of his children, and his beloved wife whowas confined to her bead for nearly ten years previ-ous to her death. These afilietions necessarily pre-vented him from assembling with the Church, whichlie loved, and was a beloved member thirty years,having first attached himself to the Baptist Churchof Christ at Callaham's, then by letter to the GilgalChurch in which he died. Ilis house may be trulycalled the house of a Lazerus. It was there theminister of the gospel always found a welcome andacceptable home, and where many had the gospelpreached unto them. Though lie was by afflictiondeprived of assembling with the Church, yet he .admuch consolation in reading, until it pleased God todeprive him of his sightthree years before his death:yet he never murmured or complained, but frequent-ly had the Scriptures read to him, while under this,to hin the greatest afflietion. le had suggested to hismind the 3d chapter of Proverbs, which he had;(frequently read to him, and whieh he reconnnendedto others. 1le has left four children andi manyfriends to momrn their loss wreconfidtis his gain. aete hiate rcoidn
