hi. bHASTA COURIER. SATBdBAV MOUSING, may S7‘, 1851. f in- War Iu Europe. c" U.** last mail from the Atlantic States, we ate t-'J of the fact tLint both England ami ’> ;c- i: ivt- declared war against Russia. This ; e ‘ tu’etitgence, although expected, is nev ••!«■<» calculated to startle the public mind, m .ch us it is doubtless the must important !n,: bus occurred atuoug uutiuus for main T :i IS. lie a raugettn tits already consummated by • 'n beiiigereiits, and put in active operation foi i .il. ( Uiir's destruction, are on a scale of nnig lii'nde almost unequalled in war’s bloody au- Ii m . And the piobabibties are that, on account ot the terrible capacity of certain instruments of destruction in tbe possession of both sides, » greater number of the unhappy slaves ol Euro pean lyrrunny will be destroyed in a given lime, than we have any account of in books. In regard to the ultimate result of this, as ii will doubtless prove, terrible contest, we con less to a feeling of considerable indifference. — Indeed, whenever the question is presented, tin history of two celebrated cals of Kilkenny in voluntarily comes athwart our mental eye. Ii i a fact well authenticated in cotempuraneous J. isii history, that a rencontre between those two feline quadrupeds resulted in a mutual to i .l destruction by swallowing—with the excep tion of their tails. In regard to the fight now waging between the allied poweis and Russia, v o are so equally divided, that a result parallel to the tight of Kilkenny would be contemplated v itb a countenance of unusual placidity and a temper of great blandness. In contemplating this momentous matter, it is rational for mi, American to view the interests ol tui« Republic as puiamoiint to all other consider » u>us. This may not accord with the views ol those sublimated philanthropists, who cheat tbauiselves into the belief that they are pos sessed of a set of principles so comprehensive as to embrace die entire human race; but it is the vew thet practical, sane men take. On which side, then, do the preponderatin'; interests ci the United States be ? becou.es with ns the great question. And hist of Russia. V.’fcat has she done to invoke the vengeance of the combined powers? hoe has exhibited a determination to acquire certain territory of great importance to herself, by torce of arms, just as England did in India. v jtli the Bosporus in her possession, she would in 1 lew years rival the maritime power of ei luer England or Krauce. With our eager eyes upon Cuba aud the remainder of Mexico, it ft quires n considerable effort to look the Russian bear straight in the face, and exclaim “ what an mi paralleled outrage!"—for even a bear must of necessity laugh right out at such a specimen ni Yankee effrontery. Nevertheless we have no manner of sympathy, except so far ns that feel ing is engendered by self interest, for the Rus sian Government. Wo would like to see it crippled, prostrated. No one man should have tue power, in a fit of drunkenness or ill humor, to convulse all Europe with the terrible throes oi war. Therefore we would rejoice to see the haughty Czar humbled iu the dust. But iiu the other hand, our sympathies for the aided powers are by no means extensively de veloped, What is Turkey, that she should hav. our sympathies I She is weak, and is threatenen with disiin mberment by a stronger power. Shi ha" a young man at her head who is well dis posed towards our nation, and of more libera, views ih.in any of his fathers. And these are almost the only claims to onr good wishes that Turkey can boast. On the other hand for ceii tuiies her rulers have enjoyed an nneqnaled reputation for cruelty and inhumanity to all who professed a belief iu the Lord Jesus Christ. Next of France. What has she done that we should pray for her success ; At preset.t she is governed by one-man power as effectually as Russia, and has a government us absolute and tyranicalas any in Europe—u government that not only maintains a strict surveillance over tin press, but over tbe tongues of her citizens wher ever they may be, whether in their dwellings, iu the public cates, the theatre, or upon tin streets. For such a government to prate about the destruction of the liberties of Turkey, is mockery of the most disgusting character. Be sides. France has on several occasions exhibited a most unmistakable inclination to side with England in her plans to retard tbe further ex paiision of our republic. For these reasons wt Lave but very little more love for France than for Russia. And now for England What of her? What has she done or what is she doing, that we, as citizens of the Republic of tbe United States, shonld desire to see her successful? She has tbe honor of being our mother country. We speak the same language. We have a common literature. The groundworks of our liberties are derived from tbe same source—the Bible. Oar religion is the same. But while these an facts, tbe truth stands out in relief equally bold, that England, at a period immediately subse quent to the Revolution, began a course of inter ference with a view to check the prosperity ol tins Union, add that she has kept it up to the present day. Aud all those discourses about tlx I wo and friendship said to exist between the two nations, and which are so fondly indulged ta at dinner parties by English Noblemen and American Railroad Agents, are all very fine as « trick, and probably effectually subserve the ends designed. Nevertheless, if any two nations cun bate each other more heartily than do tbe Bug h»t> and Americans, they will have to remain awake of nights in order to doit. Britain tried to cripple oor commerce in 1812. by claiming the right of search and impress ment. The gallantry of our navy, faowevi r. checked her designs in that resp. ct for awiii.t. In lt>4l she attempted to accomplish the *an;« thing, under pretence of suppress.og the slave trade. Tbe vigilance of Geu. Cass, then minis ter at tbe court ot France, frustrated her de signs by preventing that government from be coming a party t» the quintuple treaty. Every body recollects her scheming aud machinations to prevent the annexation ot Texas. She has manifested an equal interest in preventing our acquisition of the Sandwich islands and Cuba. Even as early a-* 1827 she endeavored to bring about u convention guaranteeing Cuba to Spain. And it is to this same feeling of hatred that we are indebted for the effort on the part of Eng land aud France to involve the United States in a tripartite arrangement on the suo e subject. In short the evid uees are too numerous ol a hos tile feeling to .varUs our government on the part of both England and France, to justify us iu re joicing over their success in a struggle with Russia, it was only a few mouths since that t.old Claren ion, the British Secretary of Slate, announced to the world that France and Eng land had a common policy to catty out else where than on the European continent, 'i rue we have the news by the lui-t mail that he has issured the American minister at the Cytirt ol •St. James, it,at in utu ring that remark he made no allusion, direct or remote, to the United States. Witeu il is reim inhered, however, that those two governments have exhibited an un mistakable desire to keep Cuba cut of oar liands, the disclaimer ot Lord Clarendon sounds very much like a diplomatic lie. Let the allied lowers be successiui in crushing Russia, and it is folly to suppose that they would not next turn tbetr attention to the aeioniphsbuK lit oi a fa vorite scheme for ( rippling n rival whom tiny so much tear. Hushed w tih victory, and strung in their union, they would at once sav, •• out sister of Spain mint never be deprived of tin most valuable jew ei iu her crown.” As we view it tin ii, both sides are ilabiin? foi power—Russia to increase hers, the allied powers to save that wh ch they filrea .y pos sess. As for the govt Turnouts engaged, we have n i love tor either. lln y are all sys!'ms of tyranny —opj ress.ng the many for the sake of the low. Then-lure, say we, pitch in—hew and h n k, cut a i I idi-ft —rizo forts, burn and sack tow(is and cities, devastate fruitful coun tries, and tints bring down upon your heads the dread anathemas of a higher powt r. We i-haii mourn tin- individual suffering, but rejoice it .hercb> the oppressors of the peoples of E'tropt have been made to pay the penalty due llteii long accumulatin'.' < times. A Long St.i >ju i e. — Ihe Jacksonville cor respondent ot tin 1 Molllltain flernld, says .Messrs McLaughlin & MeOumb b«ve been examining 'be mail between Unit place ami Shasta, with ibeview of a line of coaches, to con nect with the stage line from this place to Sacra njeiito. Their plan is to ran coaches from Shas ia to the loot of Trinity mountains, where they will keep a supply ot good horses mid iiiuies to convey passengers over Trinity and Scott moun tains to Callahan's Rauch, at the head of Scott Valley, and thence coaches again from Calla han’s to Vrcfca, and from Yrekit to Jacksonville. I he same writer says us soon as the wagon road ■* op.-ned from Illinois Valley to Crescent City he line will he extended to that place. It Messrs. McLaughlin & McCouib effect this nr alignment, —connecting Sacramento with Cres ent City uy a line of stages,—-It will perhaps >e the longest stage route in America—the dis •nee between the two points being considerably •verfour hundred miles. IH’ELS.— 1 vvo duets lia\e Oeen recently fought “ear San Francisco. The first between C. Dowdigati and J. Hawkins, resulted in the wounding of Mr. Dowdigan's left arm. The second, between Messrs. Hubert and Hunt, re -uited in the death of the latter at the third fire, he ball having passed through his bowels. Mr. Hubert is an ex-member of the Legislature, a fact that, it is supposed, will be greatly to ids disadvantage on ids trial. Mr. Hunt acknowl edged before dying that he was wrong in tht matter. So far as vve have been able to learn, Mr. Hubert was forced into the fight by the un justifiable conduct of the deceased. T nr. A (.Lino Im.eet. — fhe allied fleet under command o! Sir Charles Napier, is doubtless ere this in the Baltic sea, getting ready to storm the .fortress of ConsTadt, the key to St. Petersburg!!, and which, notwithstanding- it is the principal iiuvd! station ot the Russians, and the port of the capital of the empire, the old Admiral has made bet of SO,OOO he would take in two days after be firing of the first gun. At last accounts the fleet was laying at Kioge Bay. on the Baltic or east side of Zealand, and but a few miles south of Copenhagen. Here the Admiral received the declaration of war, and signalled the fact to the fleet in the following words:— “ Lads—War is declared ! We are to meet n bolil and numerous enemy. Should they give us battle, yon know how indispose of them. Slmulo they remain in port, we must tiy to get at them. ••Success depends upi n the quickness aim precision of your fire. “ Lads, sharpen your ent'asses. and the day is youi own.” A Packek t'Hor by an Indian.— We regret to learn that Mr. Miron Scribner was shot on Monday, on the road from Reading’s Creek to the Sotrh Fork of Trinity river. He was struck • truer the left shoulder blade. f The force of the bail, however, was considerably spent before -triking. and did not therefore, it is hoped, in flict a mortal wound. In consequence of this affair ail the Indians of that vicinity have broke for the mountains t# " e are gia i tt> {receive the papers of Sa crameuto and Marysville urging the citizens ol huso places to send delegates to the Railroad Convention to be hoidta iu Red Biuffs on next Saturday.

Fran Tieka urf »wpa. We ere indebted to Jack Horsley, of Cram. Rogers & Co's Express, for • file of Iste Oregon papers, sue for the Mevntaiit Herald of Saturday lust. The Indians have commenced hostilities against the whiles. Their first depredations were perpetrated near aud upon the Siskiyou mountain, by the baud of the renowned cliief Tipsey. They first stole five American horses and one mule, near the mountain. The same day they attacked the train of Messrs. Gates &. Cluynier, near the top of the mountain, and kill ed Mr. Gates; Mr. Claymer made bis escape. It is supposed that two more white men were killed ut the same time. Lieut. Botinecasfle. who was in the valley in command of a number of U. S. troops, has been Joined by the De Chute Indians, and will pro ceed at once to Siskiyou mountain, and by the assistance of the Indians, take the track of Tip sey where the recent murders were committed, fhe Herald very truly remarks, that this is the only proper plan. Let such a man as “ Tipsey” be hauled down —let him be followed from day to day, until he and all of his warriors are swept from among the living. This is the only way to treat a tribe of savages who regard no treaties, •nid who murder the whites whenever opportu nity offers. Gov. Biqlkk's Last Mxssaok.— We publish this admirable document on our first page. It is decidedly scathing. He is particularly down upon those who defeated the passage of the most important measures before the Legislature. But it b especially amusing to see the separating of the Broderickile papers beneath the lash so unimrcilnlly bestowed by the brave old Govet n or. They all swear that ihat portion of the party who would not vote for their master for U. 8. ■Senator, were in the fault, and thetrlore are the object* ot excoriation at ihe hands of his Excel lency. They forget, however, that if the Sena torial question did hang like an incubus upon measures ol legitimate legislation, that it was the Broderick party who kept in existence that ch>g to healthful legislative action. Mr. Broilt nck and his friends, could have withdrawn that topic from the legislative halls at any moment. W hy did they not do so. when they saw it was retarding and defeating necessary legislation ? I bis is a question more easily asked than an swered, as many representatives will find, when they come to give an account of their steward ship. I) h mock ai 3 Atumwj. — li is rumored that the Democratic Stale Convention is to be called to assemble on the 12lh ot Juno, This will ot course prevent the attendance of delegate> front die more northern counties. Indeed, it will hardly give the Democracy of this county time to select proper delegittei. We cun scarcely credit the report, although c< mtnunicaled to us by a well informed democrat in San Francisco. It'it is true, however, there is some trick about being played to cheat somebody. The I’Acrnc Railroad. —We are assured by one of our Congressional Delegation, in a recent letter, that the chances for the passage of a i’a cific Fail road Bill at the present session, are quite Haltering. He thinks the bill providing tor two mutes, will be preferred. We also per ceive that*Mr. Nobles has directed the attention of our Delegation to the Pass bearing bis name We shall endeavor to find room fur his interest ing letter upon this subject in our next issue Fire in Kkd Bluffs.—Uu the evening of the i9th inst., a fire broke out in a dwelling house next adjoining the Globe Hotel, and before it could be checked consumed both buildings. The Belle Saloon apd Luna House only escaped through the timely exertion and presence of mind of the inmates. Shipment of Gold Dust. — Edward W.Tracy, Esq., ot Adams i. Go’s Express, informs ns that their shipment of gold dust from this place for the present week, amounts to |i73,3f>( . W hen it is recollected that there is another banking and express house in this place that does a large business, and that many merchants and traders carry their owitdiist, it will be seen at mice tlijtt there is but little danger of the immediate ex haustion of our mines. Certain croakers will please observe. Strawberries.—We have been favored by our friend. L. H. Tower, of the “ Tower House." with a Chinese plate of fresh strawberries, gath ered from vines in ht* garden. We believe he raises almost every kind of fruit that grows in the vallies below. Several of his peach trees are heavily laden with crem peaches. The Sabuaih Dat.— We again remind the miners and traders, that the banking houses ol Shasta, as well as the greater number of tbe mercantile establishments, will henceforth he closed on the Sabbath day. This arrangement went into effect on last Sunday, and will be strictly adhered to. Miners’ Maktinu.—we trust that all citizens who feel an interest in the development of the riches of the mine* of our county, will be present at the St. Charles Hotel this evening. The object of the meeting is the organization of a company with sufficient capital to bring water ioto the Olney ami surrounding diggings, over »»ronte recently surveyed by E. C. Gll h tie, Escj. A very interesting report from him will he foetid noon our first paje. Tut Eagle Ball.—The assemblage of lovely women ami elegant gentlemen at the “ Eagle" •u Thursday evening, was decidedly brilliant, i he dancing was kept tip with great spirit until a very late hour. Tbe supper was superb. In deed the proprietors may well feel flattered with having given one of tbe most delightful toi.ie, dn}ttiirj.ex of the season. Ariutoa Ac C'o.J* Kiprru.

Many items of interest from the Atlantic States will be found embodied in the letter of our New York correspondent, herewith appended. New Yokk. April 20th, 1854. The new management of the Steamship Com pany to Aspiuwull is already effeciing favoiable improvements, aud ensuring for the I’unamu route a greater number of passengers. 'lhe Ohio and Georgia, two steamers < nlirely unfit tor the trade, have been taken oil', and it is pio bable that better steamers will be used until the new ones contracted for are placed on the line. Better lime may soon be expected, via I'anuiiia, than has heretofore been made by that or any other route. But, although ihat is the mail route, and tlie mails will doubtless be « x pedited greatly in consequence, the wri.tr still puts more fat h in Adams & Go’s Express than m any other California communication. If one halt tire energy displayed by Express firms, was exhibited by Government, in transportation ut the mails, we should bear less complaint than at present. Since the last steamer sailed, news from Eu rope brings the long expected declaration ol war by the English and French governments, who b coiiliune iheir activity in die equipment and einbai kalion of troops.

The Cuchituale Bank, Boston, has lately failed. A mammoth steamer, the largest in the world, called the •’•Metropolis,” has been lately launched here for the Fall River Hue. A violent storm prevailed here on the Istl. and 16th of this month. It raged with great fu ry along the coast from Boston to Baltimore, leaving three or four fine ships ashore in on. vicinity, and numerous vessels to tlie north ward and southward. An injunction on the Crystal F*ajace Compa ny by Orson D. Munn ha* been, dissolved. Tin Company’s stock lias risen 100 per cent, since the new management commenced.
