The lone; and ja!lant strujrole of the Cir cassians against (he "ijrantic pow er of Rus sia, cannot but be rrraul,.(I with intcn-st, by all who lot-1 sympathy for the weak when "Toppling with thi' s'ror.jx, by all who belk-ve that iiiiht dors not make ri;jht, by all who r.joice in the triumph of courage, (li tTinination, librr.'y ami justice. A work on the Caucasus, compn-hendini Circassia, has just been published in Dres den, and has excited no little attention. The author is Dr. Moritz Wainer, and we find an elaborate re irw, with rxtracta in the last numb- r of Dlark wood's Magazine. The comparative relative strength of the two parties Russians and Circassians, is estimated at (i0,000,0l)0 against 600,000 a hundred to one a whole squadron ajainst a single cavalier, a colossus opposed to a piffmy. The odds are fearful, and yet the struiple has endured, with occasional in terruptions, for a period of twenty years. The Circassians are described as not only eallant and warlike, but remarkable for the lofty bearing ol Iheir men, the srace and beauty ol their women. Rut it is not only in our dav, that this unconquerable ppople have distinguished themselves in freedom's llbt. The last five hundred years record constant st rubles against oppression. O.ten conquered, they never were fully subdued. Their obscure columns are illu mined by flashes of patriotism and heroic, courage. The interior ot Circassia is still a: unknown land. Rut few Europeans have penetrated into the heart of the coun try "r, if so, have rarely returned alive. One case, however, is mentioned by Dr. Ir. .1 f . l tv J ww. uiiiT uiiu oi me mtssian mron jur nau. It seems that by the emneror's command. Russian officers acquainted with the lan- euage are sent, from time to time, as spies into circassia, partly to make topographi cal surveys of districts previously unknown; parity to ascertain the number?, mode of life, and disposition of those tribe with whom no inten-oursi is kept up. These missions are extremely dangerous, and sel dom succeed. Shortly before my arrial at Ter.'k, four Russian stall-officers were aent as spies to various part of Leshistan. They assumed the Caucasian garb, and were attended by natives in Russian pay.' Only one of them ever returned : the three others were recognized and murdered. Baron Turnau prepared himself long before hand for his dangerous mission. lie gave his complexion a brownish tint, and to hi heard the form affected by the aborigines. Me alia tried to learn the language of the Ubiches, but, finding the harsh pronuncia tion of certain words quite unattainable, he agreed with his guide to pass fur deaf and dumb during his stay in the country. In this guise he set out upon his perilous jour ney, and for several days wandered unde. tected from tribe to tribe. Rut one of the works (nobles) under whose roof he passed a night, conceived suspicions, and threat ened the guide, who betrayed his employ er's 'rret. The baron was kept prisoner, and the Ubicheg demanded a cap-ful of silver fir his ransom from the Rus.ian com mandat t of Fort Ardler. When this offi cer declared himself ready to nav. thev in creased their demand to a bushel of silver ruble. The commandant referred the matter to Baro R sen, then commander-in-chief or the army of the Caucasus; the baron reported it to St. Petersburg, and th Emperor consented to pay the heavy ran som. But Roen represented it to him is more for the Russian interest to leave Tur nau for while in the hands of the Ubi chei ; for, in the first place, th piym-nt of so large a ram was a ba l precedent, likely to encourav the mountaineers to re new the extortion, instead of contenting themselves, as they previously had don with lew hundred ruths; and, secondly, as a prisoner, Baron Turnau would perhaps have opportunities of gathering valuable in formation conct rning a country and peo ple of whom little or nothing was known. The unfortunate young officer was cruelly sacrificed to these considerations, and passed a Ijng winter in terrible captivity, tortured by frot and hunger, compelled, as a slave, to the severest labour, and often greatly ill treated. Several attempts at flight failed ; and at last the chief, in whose hands he was, confined him in a cage half-buried in the ground, and withal so narrpw that its inmate could neither stand upright nor lie at length. ' Thus immured, a prey to painful mala dies, his cloths rotting on his emaciated limbs, the unhappy man moaned through his long and sleepless nights, and gave up hope of rescue. No tender-hearted Circas sian maiden brought to him, as to the hero of Pushkin's well-known Caucasian poem, deliverance and love. Such luck had been that of more than one Russian captive; but poor Turnau, in his state of filth and squalor, was no very seductive object. He miirht have pined away his life in his cage, before Baron Rosen, or his paternal ma jesty the Czar, had recalled his fate to mind, but for an injury done by his merci less master to one of his domestics, who vowed revenge. Watching his opportu nity, this servant, one day that the rest of the household were absent, murdered his lord, released the prisoner, tied him with thongs upon his saddle, upon which the baron, covered with sores and exhausted by illness, was unable to support himself, and galloped with him towards the frontier. In one day they rode eighty versts (about fifty-four English miles,) outstripped pur suers, and reached Fort Ardler. The ac counts given by Baron Turnau of the land of his captivity could be but slight ; he had seen little beyond his place of confinement. hat he did relate was not very encourag ing to Russian invasion. He depicted the country as one mass of rock and precipice, partially clothed with vast tracts of aborigi nal forest, broken by deep ravines and mountain torrents, and surmounted by the huge icr-clad pinnacles of the loftiest Cau casian ridge. The villages, some of which nestle in the deep recesses of the woods, whilst others are perched upon steep cra"-s and on the brink of giddy precipices, are universally of most difficult access. Dr. Wagner describes many of the Cir cassian Chiefs as perfect models of manly neaul y. In illustrating Circassian hatred for the Rusans, it is slated that a fi w yean ago, a slaviship sprang a leak out at S 'a, just as a Kussiun st' uu.f r passed in the distance. I he liitkisli s'ae di aler, who i.referr d even the chill blasts ot Siberia to a grave i;i deet) water, made signals of distress, cn I the steamer came up in lime to rescue the ship and its living cargo from destrui tion. Hut so deeply is hatred of Russia implanted in every Circassian heart, that the spirit of the girls revolted at the thought of becom ing the helpmates of gray-coated soldiers. They had bid adieu to their native moun tains with little emotion, but as the Russian ship approached, they set up terrible and despairing screams. Some spranp; head long into the sea: others drove their knives into their hearts : to these heroines, death was pr f. rable to the brida!-bed of a tie- tested Muscovite. The survivors were ta ken to Ann pa, ; nil marri -d to Cossacks or given to officers as servants. Nearly every Austrian cr Turkish steam boat that makes, in the winter months, the voyage from I reluzond lo Constantinop'e, has a number of Circassian girls on board. Dr, Wagner made the passage, in an Aus trian steamer, with several dozens of thes willing slaves, chiefly mere children, twelve or thirteen yean old, with interest ing countenances and dark wild eyes, but very pale and thin with the exception of two, who were some years older, far better Iressed, and carefully veiled. To this fa vored pair, the s!ave-d' aler paid particular attention, and frequently brought them coffee. Dr. Wagner got into conversation with this man, who was richly dressed in lurs and silks, and who, despite his vile pr.v f' S-ion, had the manners of a gentlen-.un. The two coffee-drinkers were daughters of noblemen, he said, with fine rosy cheeks, and in better condition than the others, consequently worth more money at Con stantinople. For the handsomest, he hoped to obtain 33,000 piastres, and for the other 20,000 about 250 and .170. The herd of young creatures he spoke of with con tempt, and should think himself lurky to get 200 piastres for them all round. He further informed the doctor that, although the slave trade was more dangerous and difficult since the Russian occupation of the Caucasian coast, it was also far more profit able. Formerly, when Greek and Armenian women were brought in crowds to the Con stantinople market, the most beautiful Cir cassians were not worifi more than 10,000 piasters; hut now a rosy, well-fed, fitteeu-year-old slave, is hardly to be had under 40,000 piasters. Our author eives a very glowing descrip tion of the endurance anil physical strength of the Russians, but he remarks that the grenadier stature and the immobility under fire admirable qualities on a plain, and arainst regular troops avail little in the Caucasus. The burly Russian pants and perspires up the hills, which the liht (bote 1 chamois-like Circassians and Tshet shens ascend at a run. The. mountaineers understand their advantages, and decline s'anding still on the plain to be charged by line of bayonets. They dance round the heavy Rus ian, who, with his well-stuffed knapsack and Inn?, greatcoat, ran barely nrn on his heel fast enonih to face them. They catch him out skirmishin?, and slaugh tr him in detail. "One might suppose," sid a for-ivner h the Russian serve to Dr. Wa?ner, that the musket and bayonet of the Russian soldier would be too much, in singl combat, for the sabre and dagger of the Trchetaea. The contrary is the rase, Amongst the dead, slain in hand-to-hand encounter, there are usually a third more Russians lhan Caucasians. Strange to'say, too, the Russian soldier, who in the serried ranks or his battalion meet death with wonderful firmness, and who has shown the utmost valor in contests with Europeans, Turkish, and Persian armies, often betrays timidity in the Caucasian war, and retreats from the outposts to the column, in spite of the heavy punishment he thereby incurs." The shyness of the Russian soldiers in single fight, and irregular warfare, is not in explicable. They have no chance of pro motion, no honorable stimulus: food and brandy, discipline and dread of the lash, convert them from serfs into soldiers. As bits of a machine, they ore admirable when united, but asunder they aro mere screws and bolts. Fanalic zea bitter hatred, and thirst of blood, animate the Caucasian; who, trained to arms from his boyhood, and ig norant of drill, relies only upon bis keen shaska, and upon the Prophet's protection. THE INDIA MOTHER. The National Intelligencer narrates the following incident respecting oneof the Chin- pewa Indians latrly in Washington. Her name is Pam mavay-ge-one-no-qva, or Wo man of th Marmerinrr Stream. She is the wife of ibe orator of the party, and, when she left Like Superior in October last, she brought along her only infant, aged about six mo iths On the arrival of ths party in Phila dolphin, the child was suddenly taken sick and died. The grief f the mother knew no b.iunds, anil for several entire days did flie hang over the child ever anil nnnn rrivino. ut:ernnee to a monotonous wriil, and decking iis bend with all the ornaments in lit r posses sion. All this was noticed by Mnjnr Martell who conceived the Hen of having a daguer reotype likeness taken of the child, rind this having been accomplished, the child was deposited in n vault, and tin likeness given lo the mother. On Monday niu-ht last, while one of il.e chiefs composing the Chippewa delegation was rcliilins a story to th? wnter of this ar tide, and in th:; p-esenee of the entire party, an nl.usion wn made to the imt nr.-r of den'h which caued the childless mother and her husband, ra thev :it toi'etlipr epon the floor, to bow lle ir lirnds ;md weep. The story proceeded, but we walehe.l with btffrse i iterest the movemei t-s of th - b le.ivcd mother.
