Tho village of Cazenoyia is probably not exceeded by any other village in the • State of New York In boauty^of location, Variety A>i scenery and purityjof atmosphere,* and healtbfulnes3 and/general good behavior of its inhabitants. \''\'For' tbe information of those who ore not awareof .its location, it \m'ay'b'e'sTatSi thafVy leaving tho Albany *>nd- Buffalo Railroad, at Chittcnaugo, abont 'twenty-five miles west of Koine, and .taking a couch, a distance of twelve miles, of which about nine miles are up hill, you are in Cazenovia; and when found o'orliaul your calculations and make a note—\About 200 miles nor'-west from New-York, and several thousand feet high.\ The popula tion within tho limits of tho corporation is estirnato J at 2,000 persons. Cazenovia Lake is a beautiful sheet of water just west of the villiigo. It is about five miles long and one mile wide. . It abounds in : pickerel, perch, bass and other fish. From the iakc the land rise* gradually like the sides of a rather shallow basin, presenting a landscape of fields, groves and orchards, dotted with fine looking farm-houses. On either side of the village is much tho same appearance. The hills, richly clothed with tho growing crops, testify of tho industry of tho intelligent farmers who own those prolific aeres. In this connection it may bo stated that the crops generally are doing weli. Winter wheat was rather badly winter-killed, but spring wheat is, so far, a fine crop. Grass will be considerably iighter than usual— forcM -eing which many of the farmers have plowed an acre or two of poor meadow or pasture, and sown corn for fodder. Others will sell oft' soino of their stock if their feed is so short as to requiro it. Corn, oats, barley, potatoes, and all crops except grass and winter wheat, are doing remarkably well. Tho dwellings in Cazenovia are princi pally neat wbito mansions and cottages, with green window blinds; and are half hidden in tho full grown, full /ledged shrub bery, with which tho greater portion of them are tastefully surrounded. A number of these houses are handsome situations, nnd some of the later built ones resemble in style the modern villus and cottages in 1 not con fj rme d the vicinity of the city ofNew York. Tho | j eam tlmt p ri ' nce p^hkicwitch has been severely wounded by a bullet in the side, and compelled to lay down the command until his recovery. He has been removed The State.of the War. Our advices from tho seat of war in Tur nkey broughttyesterdaybyfthe-Europa/con tain no report of any decisive event/either ;at Silistria or ' elsewhere.?\ Up.to the J)th of June—ten days later than our previous in telligence—the Kussians had not yet taken tho subordinate forts of Arab,vTabiassi or Abdul Medji J, or at least has carried only the former, after repeated defoats, and with very heavy loss. .And when we remember that even after both 'these outworks are re duced, tho main fortress must still be regu larly invested and besieged, aud will in all probability be able to hold out even longer than these comparatively temporary struc tures, there seems hardly to be a reason to doubt that the siege might be raised by tho Turkish army alone, even without the actuul fighting by the AlHes, since their presence at Varna occupies a largo body of the Russian forces, and enables tho Turks to operate more freely. Such a movement, it is stated, Omer Pacha was preparing by the concentration of his army in the direction of the beleaguered fortress, where it was expected he would appear in force by about tho 20th of June, or within eleven days from the date of our present infoimation.— By that time, not less than 60,000 of the allies could be at Varna, ready cither to move upon Silistria, which can bo reached from that place in four or Jive days by forcer' marches, or to bo conveyed to any other point which the exigencies of the war may require. Meanwhile tho Turks keep up tho defenso of Silistria with tho most creditable gallantry; and even ad mitting that they exaggerate greatly iti their reports of Russians slain in the succes sive repulses of storming parties from the redoubts of Abdul Medjid and Arab Tnbias si, tho fact that they have constantly re pulsed their enemy, nnd still hold their own in spite of him, keeping him so long from coming at their main fortress, is a brilliant aud undeniable proof of tho skill and bra- vory with which they curry on tho struggle. Whatever be the result at last, tho defense of Silistria so far entitles its garrison and commander to a high place in tho annals of military achievements. The report that this commander Mussa Pacha, has been killed by a caunon ball, is but on the other hand we CAZENOVIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 5. Anniversary of Cazenovia Seminary. ' WEDKESDAT, Jew 12. 9 A.

The churches are as follows, viz : — j Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Free Con- 1 grogntional, Universalist, Episcopal and Ro man Catholic. Chittenango Creek passes through Caze novia in a northerly direction, aud affords an abundance of water power, extending from a point six miles below Cazenovia, to the distance of two miles above. In tho \ summer time when small streams usually fail, thin'one affords a better water power thai at othor times, in consequence of the opening of an immense reservoir, construct ed about six miles above Cazenovia, for tho purpose of feeding theKrie Caual at Ohittc nango. There is yet a vast amount of avnilablo unemployed water power on that stream. Tho reservoir renders its hydraulic power ten times more valuablo than it oth erwise would be. The Cazenovia Seminary, established and conducted under the auspices of the Oneida Conference of the M. E. Church, is a flour ishing institution, and bears the reputation of being one of tho best schools in the Statu. It now consists of four largo build ings adjoining each oilier. One of them was erected last year. There are eight pro fessors and teachers connected with it.— During last year there were over 600 pupils in this Seminary. 'Hie average attendance was 200. This year there is considerable increnso in attendance. This school is the prominent feature of the place. A number of New-Yorkers and their fam ilies who can get accomodation J in Cazeno via, mostly with their friends, however, fpend the hot season here. The air is re freshing, tho means of good living are at hnnd ; also tho facilities for sporting and for fine drives.

It has nothing, however, to do with this accident to Pashkiewitch. It is said by some to be designed as a preparative for tho evacuation of the Principalities in case Russian honor oVio -ulA to T <jU«vtoA l»y thu capture of Silis tria from the injuries it has suttcreA the war actually begun ; but for our part we rather hold it to bo a movement of jealousy against Austria. But however this may bo, when wo recollect that tho Russi ans have gained nothing in tho whole of this limo, that they have been beaten in every serious encounter liko those of Olten- itza aud Tshetntc for example, that after all their preparations and menaces they failed to take or even to attack Kalafat, and that they actually occupy less of tho Turkish territory now than they did in September last—though their defensive position is bet- while as many more gave ges from motives of personal esteem.- For, it is undeniable, that Mr. SMITH has many warm personal friends, created by his liber al charities, and..general dignified) yet con descending • deportment. However tho re sult may have happened, one thing is cer tain—Mi. SMITH did go to Congress, and the people have had their curiosity fully sa tisfied. Tho votes of Mr. SMITIX have generally proceeded upon the theory, so far as tho immediate interests of his constituents were concerned, that unless his colored friends were placed upon an entire equality with his white ones, the latter were entitled to none of tho benefits of legislation. Thus, he refused to give his district tho benefit of tbe Act donating land to actual settlers, be cause negroes were not included as benefi ciaries ; and for a similar reason he declin ed voting for Miss Due's bill for tho relief of the indigent insane. He also voted against the Pacific Railroad bill—a bill having for its object tho opening of a ready channel of communication across tho Western Territo ries to California and Oregon. Ho failed to exert the influence of his presence and vote against the Nebraska bill in its progres sive stages, and for the extraordinary rea son that ho preferred the luxury of his bed, to the peiformancc of a duty he owed to himself and his constituents. He voted in favor of the GAOSDEN treaty, by which our Government stipulated to pay SANTA ANNA tho enormous sum of §10,000,000, princi pally for the right of way across the Tehu- nntepec Isthmus,—a privilege which had previously, by tho treaty negociatcd by Judge CONKLIN , been guarantied to us for nothing. Aud, finally, ho has covered him self with renown, by avowing himself an open fillibustcr, and going in, at all hazards, for the immediate acquisition of Cuba ! Now we venture to say, that, in no one of these votes, has Mr. SMITII in any degree represented tho views of his constituents,— They have been votes inconsistent with each other, and, we doubt not, a surprise upon nine-tenths of the people of his district. Under these circumstances we can but hope that Mr. SMITH'S promise to resign may not eventuate in empty words. We trust. Gerrit Smith's Resignation. WASHINGTON June 27 1854.

DK WIT T & •IJAVENPOB.T, Pub lishers, New York. Price Fifty Cents. This new work of 'Mrs. Hoodie's is truly a delightful one. Under tho light veil of fiction, and an assumed name, it is in reali ty an auto-biography of that amiable-and exemplary woman, our authoress herself.— The thrilling passages in her eventful life, before starting for tho now world it de scribes in a life like and interesting manner— the scenes that slio passed through, and the characters that she met both before she left England, and also while on a long and per ilous passage across the ocean. Though it boars the stamp of truth on every page, it exceeds any work of fiction we have ever read in enduring and ever varying inter est. In this line of truthful and simple descrip tion, Mrs. Moodie has no equal, and the wholo is enlivened by a vein of quiet hu mor that is really refreshing. This work ends where her former work, \ Roughing it in the Bush,\ commences. As nil who have read the former will want this, we pre dict an immenso sale for this book. Those who have not read any of her works, do not know what a treat they have missed. For sale by CRANDALL & MOSELEY. Two PERSONS KILLED BY AN \INFERNAL MACHINE .\—On Monday Evening, June 26, a box was sent to the Marine Hospital, Cin- ciuaati, and deposited in the room of the steward, J. A. ALLISON . About ten o'clock, the steward and his wife being alone in the room, opened the box, when it exploded with terrific force, mangling the bodies of both in a horrible manner. Mrs. ALLISON had both her arms blown off. and her skull fractured; and Mr. A. was dreadfully mangled. The furniture, windows, ceiling of the rootL, etc., wero shattered to atoms. Tho indications are that the box contained a bomb-shell of about six inches diameter. From the effect of the injuries both Mr. and Mrs. ALLISON died the next day. Mr. ALLISON made a statement before his death which, with the information already receiv ed, will probably lead to the detection of the guilty pai lies. He stated that it was undoubtedly WILLIAM CONNELLY , of New York, who sent the box. They had previ ously had some difficulty, and CONNELLY had threatened him. A reward of §300 is offered for tho apprehension of tho mur derer. GUNPOWDER EXI'LOSION .—The oponing of the Now Railroad from Cincinnati to Louisville was celebrated by au excursion last Thursday.

We publish the above letter for two rea sons. First, because it is a matter of gene ral interest, and is addressed to the people of this district; and fecond, because its pe culiar style is eminently characteristic of its author—replete with egotism and self com placency. If Mr. Smith shall ultimately do that which he here announces his intention of doing, namely, resign, we do not imagine his constituents will fuel bound to put on \ sackcloth aud ashes,\ in evidence of pro found grief. On the contrary, it is some what questionable with us whether or no the step will not pretty generally bo consid- ach other, and uniting in nothing but op position to the legitimate government.— There is the French party which is busily intriguing for the transfer of the Islands to tho Einpiro of Louis Napoleon.

Tho \ boys\ had quite a patriotic time, nnd it was, on the whole, a pleasant affair. THE FESTIVAL given on Thursday Eve ning last, by the Ladies of the Universalist Society, at their Church, in this village, passed off finely. The only draw-back was bad weather. The strawberries and other refreshments were excellent, and went off with a perfect rush. Several \ Gift Enter prises,\ on a small scalo, were drawn in the course of the evening, and, as usual, proved far more profitable to the proprietors than to ticket-holders. A Hudson Ri.or Steamboat, the Buffalo, sank, from some unknown cause, last Thurs day, while lying at her pier in New-York. The boat, at the time she was found to be sinking, had on board between four and five hundred passengers, all of whom escaped, but their baggage went down with the boat.

ROMANOK .—A young lady living near Beaver Dam, in Eric Co., Pa., took it into her head, a short timo since, to enter into a romantic adventure, and accordingly doffed her female attire, clothed herself in tho garb of a male, and left home to seek .her fortune at whatever might offer. Slio proceeded to Cambridge, Crawford Co., and hired out as a \man of all work,\ when, after driving horses, hauling wood and rails, loading hay, <fec, for a shoi t time, her parents discovered her whereabouts, exposed her sex, and con veyed her home. Tho act was occasioned by reading some of tho light literature of the day, in which was portrayed, in seduc tive language, the adventures of a lady who had mado a fortune by donning male attire, and participating in public life. at Washington, earned for himself the rare , ^ at fliult _ br5 out the docu- reputation of a working man, and who, it is \ ^ j ° but just to say, possessed the abilities to ' again discharge tho same duties satisfacto rily. Under these circumstances it was, to us, passing strango that Mr. SMITH should bo elected. Probably the result is to be, in a large measure, attributed to mere thought less curiosity.
