The writer states that he has come to this con clusion within the last. month. The allies, he intimates, -are anxious for peace, and their .propositions are believed to be such as can be accepted- by Russia. The Czar. in hiS late manifesto, declares that be is not desirous of further shedding of blood. and will not reject any' propositions and conditions of peace,, pro vided they be compatible with the dignity of his empire and the welfare of his stiltjects. The allies, it is said, have provided for this cotnpat ability. and hence the opinion of the cotres pondeut that peace is probable.

A : BAD SPLIT.—The Know-Nothing party in he State of New York has suffered the fate of rill other political parties in the Empire State. It is divided into two wings: and one wing, compbsing about fifty lodges, the N. Y. Ller ald says, will support Wm. 11. Seward fur the United ,States Senate. That, it is supposed, will insure his re-election. The 'Herald has heretofore been the organ of the K. N's.; but it now scolds them soundly for not making sure of the defeat of Mr. Seward. They can do it if they combine, if not they will fail. The two wings of the new party there, are similar to the "Hard" and .'Soft" detnocrats. The latter is strongly tinctured with anti-slavery sentiments, the former go . fin. a notional organization and national principles. t).lr.

William Sawyer. without provoca tion; deliberately shot a man by the name of Henry Bray, killing him •almost instantly. Bray had been at the house of Sawyer help ing him to kill hogs, and after the work was finished, at Sawyer's solicitation. he remained all night.

Mr. Sollers, of 31ary hied, delivered himself of an after-dinner speech; a week - or two - since, in the House of Representatives at Washington,: infavor of Know-Nothingism. A correspond ent of the Washington 'Union writing from _ ; Baltimore,. thus puts "the documents" at him: Jan. 5, 1855. TO the Editor of the Union. Mr. Sollers, one of the members from Marv- . . land, seems to be taking a leading position in favor of the new organization called know-noth ings. 1 infer from the report of his speeches that the main object of the organization - , in his opinion, is to restrict materially the privileges of immigrants, and to• deprive naturalized eiti zenS of the right to hold office. - Mr. Sollers at limes is a lively speaker; and what he says is usually meant for the popu lar ear, and is most frequently . nqt without effect. . d i ub lit NovembellWlBso, a convention of dele gates assembled at Annapolejt to frame a new constitution for Mitryland. Mr. Sollers was member, representing Calvert county. Whilst. the article on the elective.franchise was tinder consideration, Mr. Dorsey, a' Member repre senting Anne Arundel county, and at the time the Chiefjustiet of the State, proposed an amend,,...• went by which the right of a naturalized citizen to vote was to-be-restrained for-a period of time at least eqiial to that which, from, all we cart gather, is now one of the objects of the know nothings. Mr. Sellers opposed the amendment, and took occasion to deliver himself of a speech much admired at the time for its:beau tiful declaination. I lip said he had great respect -for his venerable friend fi om Anne ArundeD county; that in his place on the bench no man/ commanded more attention or evinced greater learning in the sphere of his profi,tssion ; but hilst upon the subject of law he was willing to submit to his judgment on the bencht, he could; • not consent to follow his. leading rre politics.. The proposition of his friend teases unsound as,: it was Aust. "Ilow did we achieve our in, dependence ? Who fought with ns shoulder shoulder in that memorable struggle ? Whe.. were Lafayette, Kosciusko, and Baron de Kalb?: Whose blood watered and fertilized the plains . of Lexington, Yorktown, and Camden? They were not all foreigners ; but foreigners were there, represented by their thousands. Mr. President, who are we ? Are we not descend , ants of fie eigners ? It might not be very agree-- able to truce our pedigree to too remote'a peri od, for some of us might find out we were the children of European convicts. 1 beg my friend to abandon his notions about foreigners. As at . whig I cativot consent to adopt them as part and parcel of the whig creed." The speech in which the above remarks are remembered to have been uttered by Mr. Soller:.4. was delivered a day or two before the employ -went of a reporter of the debates and proceed ings ; and it is most fortunate for the reputation of Mr. Sollers as a public orator that it has not been preserved in its entirety. It produced a. deep sensation in the convention ; and it crowd ed the lobbies with hundreds of enraptured listeners. TUE GREAT SNOW STORM DOWN EAST,—The fall of snow on Thursday afternoon week and the following night, in the upper parts of Maine and New Hampshire, was one of the greatest known in recent years. The Portland Adver tiser says : "From Paris to Berlin, there was a depth from two and a half to three and a half feet on a level. During Friday, all communication on theltighways, even for the shortest distances, was wholly obstructed. The passenger trains. on the Atlantic road, between Paris and Con necticut river, were worked with four engines each, and though somewhat delayed, did not lose a trip." The 111anchester Mirror of Saturday says: "Here the snow fell to the depth of tibput twenty inches. But to the north of us stories told of its depth are incredible. It was telegraphed to this place from Danbury. this Suite, that the snow was six feet deep ! It would seem that a much greater quantity had fallen at the upper part of the state than here, as the train over the Northern road due at Coil cord at 31 : o'clock yesterday afternoon, did not arrive there till G o'clock' this morning, andt the train over the Boston, Concord and Von treat road, due at the same time, did not ar rive till 11 o'clock last evening." A CUTIOrS PHYSIOLOGICAL FACT.—A French - officer, whtle making a reeonnoisance near Se bastopol, was knocked down by the wind of a cannon hall, and the shock was so severe as to ause a paralysis of his tongue, so that he could neither move it nor speak.
