iCiTlf the "diplomatic disorganizations" in the East should happen to break out into an earnest war, European dominion on the Western Continent is quite likely to be annihilated before peace is restored. The Washington correspondent of the Courier and Knnvirer says events are rapidly tending to tUat consummation.

Some disturbance was kicked "up by them on the occasion of a speech delivered by II. W. Ellsworth, on Monday last, at Bristle Ridge. The lovers of white-eye even refused a cup of cold water to father Austin, a worthy "itinerant vagabond," to quench his'thirst.

Sitka, or Xew Archangel, a port and town on the island of Baranov, in King George's Archipelago, on the Northwest coast, is the chief Russian settlement, and the principal trading post of the Russian North American Company. Baranov, so named after its discoverer, but more generally known as Sitka, is the largest of the Alen:ia islands, and lies oil the mainland of New Cornwall, at some distance from the body of Russian America. The town is a mere assemblage of wooden houses, with that usual appendage of Russian towns, a fortress. From thence the Fur

The natives are chiefly Esquimaux and Nootka Indians, a hardy and vigorous race, accomplished in all the arts of fishing and hunting, but in every other respect miserably degraded and uncivilized.

Pr?Per and sound discnm.na-
tion between these different provisions, would require a deliberate discussion of the general principles, as well as a careful scrutiny of details for the purpose of rightfully applying those principles to each separate item of appropriation. Public opinion with regard to the value and importance of internal improvements in the country is undivided. There is a disposition on all hands to have them prosecuted with energy, and to see the benefits sought to be at tained by them fully realized. The prominent point of difference between those who have been regarded as the friends of'a system of internal improvement by the General Government, and those adverse to such a system, has been one of Constitutional power, though more or less connected with considerations of expediency. My own judgment it is well known, has on both grounds been opposed to a "general system of internal improvements" by the Federal Government, as well as from past unsatisfactory experience by the General Government, as to render its use advantageous either to the country at large, or effectual for the object contemplated.
I shall consider it incumbent on me to
tr. -i- present to the present Congress at its next
ject, and to endeavor to define, approximateiv at least, find according to my own convictions, what appropriations of this na-j ture by the General Government the great interests of the United States require, the Constitution will admit and sanction, in! case no substitute should be devised capablc of reconciling the differences both of.
Constitutionality and expediency. In the absence of the requisite means and time for duly considering the whole subject at pres-j ent, and discussing such possible substitute,! it becomes necessary to return the bill to ihe House of Representatives, in which it originated, and, for the reasons thus briefly submitted to the consideration of Congress, withhold from it my approval.
The Wabash (Terre Haute) Courier, says that the drouth has been extensive and intense for a great distance along the Wabash, and the corn crop will bo almost a failure, or that, at least, not more than the fourth of an average crop will be secured. Potatoes also are a failure.
The Madison Courier says that between that place and Columbus, on the line of Railroad, the corn looks parched—wilted. We were told it was in the same condition throughout the counties of Jennings, Bartholomew, Monroe, Morgan, Owen, &c.— In the tier of counties mentioned, we believe, the corn crop will not^-ield mure than one-half the usual average.
The Terre Haute Prairie City says that in that and the adjoining counties, the corn crop will will be almost an entire failure. It is informed that in many places there will not be two bushels to the acre.
The only favorable report, from abroad is from Hamilton county. The Patriot says that the wheat crop has exceeded expectations, and that corn promises to yield an average harvest.

WASHINGTON'S ADVICE.
•Washington was a wise man he foresaw the uprising of demagogues in these latter days, and warned the country against their treason and rascality. In his Farewell Address lie savs: "In contemplating the causes which may disturb our Union, it occurs ac. matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discrimination—northern and southern, Atlantic and western— whence designing men raav endeavor to /v excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedimcnts of party to acquire influence, within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misresenlations they tend to render alien to each other, those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection."
If Washington had seen the two conventions in Indiana and Ohio, he could have better described Sparding, Smith, it Co.— If some one had written this paragraph upon the wall, with the name of Washington attached, the traitors would have looked like Belshazzar when he saw the handwriting upon the wall, and his knees smote together.
The sectional traitors have made thcir nominations, and are ready for battle with the Democratic p^rty. The whigs of those States are nowhere. The abolitionists assume to speak for themselves and for the whigs as well.—Louisville Democrat.
The Homestead Bill, as if paased the
Senate* is a measure of the highest interest to the Western States. One striking feature in it, so far as Indiana is concerned, is that which immediately places all the. iands in the Yincennes and Jeffei'sonville Districts, nm some three hundred thousand acrcs, at the low price of twelve and a half cents per acre to the setier as the part of the bill, which applies to actual settlers, iIces effect from

ATTACK OX THE PRESIDENT OF THE I NITEI) STATES. WASHINGTON, August 5, 1854.
Immediately after the adjournment of the Senate, this afternoon,- as President Pierce was leaving the Capitol, at the northern door, under the eastern facade, ho was followed out and addressed by James M. Jeflards of Charleston, S. C. Jeffards was considerably intoxicated at the time, and was in company with J. S. Duke, of St. Louis, and J. F. Wiggins of New York* all of whom had been drinking. The President shook hands with him, and Jeffards asked the President to take a diink which lie declined, and turned to enter his carriage. As he was doing so his hat was knocked off by a hard boiled egg. Jeflards returned into the Ccpitol, saying the President was a damned fool.
The President spoke to one of the police, asking if he had authority to make an arrest. Captain Dunnington and officer Wailes, shortly after arrested Jeffards, who denied throwing the CLrg. An examination was had before Captain Dunnington, when one witness testified that he saw Jeffards with an egg in his hands a few minutes previous to the assault—another testified that he saw him throw in the direction of the President, «nd another that he saw him throw- the egg at, and hit the Presi-
