Hero is & good hit at that annoying daas of

WE MET TO PART FOR EVER.
BT MISS JULIA PLEAdABTs.
We metr—’twas when her silter chain
The midnight moon was weaving
Across a arkly rolling plain
Os waters wildly he*ving—
Oar heart* were not more still and calm
Th.»n was that roaring river,
For we had sung life’s morning psalm,
And met—to part forever.
There waved a beautious forest sea
Beneath that moon’s illumiDg,
But sorrow, in our sandal tree,
Her axe had been perfuming;
And sadly gated we on the grove
Which girt that foaming river,
And mourned to think, with all oar love,
We met to part forever.
The nightingale flung on the breeze
Her richest vocal treasure, *
But grief, on life’s low minor keys,
Had struck a mournful measure;
And coldly fell the night-bird’s song,
We could but and shiver
To think our broken hearts were strong,
To meet and part forever.
The dew fell on the blooming vines
Our sjlvan bower that shaded,
But in our spirit’s shattered shrines
The rose of love was faded.
Youth’s golden dew, which bathed it erst,
Again would bath it never,
And only blinding tear-drops burst
To meet and part forever.
The Archer stars sat on the sky,
Their sib er arrows glancing
Against each wave that shouted by,
To ocean’s waste advancing;
But we had felt the poiso ted darts
From grief’s exhaustless quiver,
They rankled In the writhing hearti
That met to part forever.
"Til many a year since then we met,
And sorrows have I numbered,
But bitterer brine hath never yet
My faded cheek encumbered;
And memory, like a guilty sprite,
Still haunts that lonely river,
Where, in the moou’a unclouded light,
We met to part forever.
A Reminiscence of Grattan, —On the election
question, I was proposed by Mr. George Ponsonby,
and upon Mr. Grattan rising next to vote upon
my tally, he was immediately objected to as hav
ving been expelled on tho report of Lord Clare’s
committee. A burst of indignation on the one
side and a boisterous declaration on the other
forthwith succeeded. It was of an alarming na
turc. Grattan meanwhile standing silent, and re
garding, with a smile of tho most ineffable oon
tempt over expresse his shameless accusers. The
objection was made by Mr. John Giffard, of whom
hereafter. On the first intermission of the
tumult, with a calm and dignified air, but in that
energetic styieso peculiar to ldinsclf, Mo.Grattan
delivo-d tho following memorable words—memora
ble, because conveying, in a few short sentences,
the most overwhelming philippic—tho most
irresistible assemblage of terms imputing public
depravity, that the English, or. 1 believe, any
other lunguago, is cepabie of affording:
“Mr Sncritf, when 1 observe tho quarter whence
the objeclion comes, I nm not surprised at its
being made ! it proceeds from tho hired tradueer
of his country —the excommunicated of his fellow
citizens— tho regal robcl—tho unpunished rnffisn
—tho bigoted agitator! In the city n firebrand—
in the court a liar—in tho streets a bully—in the
field a coward I And so obnoxious is he to the
very party he wishes to e pouse, that he is only
supportable by doing those dirty acts the less vile
refuse to execute.
Gitfurd, thunderstruck, lost his usual assurance ;
and replied, in one single seutonce, “I would spit
upouhun inadcsort!” which vapid and unmeaning
exclamation was his sole retort!
Velvet Religion.— Every time the golden gates
of a new week open, and usher in a fresh born
Sunday, many a mail who has his thousands and
his coach and two, repairs to tho fashionable
church. Entoring tho sanctuary with an air of
roverenoe, hotroadt thosofi carjiot ofthe sisleto his
pow, soats himself ou the velvet cushion, opens the
gilt-edged, morocco-bound hymn book, and goes
through tho entire sorvico to the inward satisfaction
of himself and tho admiration of all. llow majes
tically he walks out as soou as tho last prayor has
been uttered! As the voluminous notos of tho
organ awoll upon his car his heart throbs with
pride, and he mentally exclaims, “What a good
man am I!”
All tho while—it is a bitter cold day in winter,
rotnomber —tho driver es his coach and two has
been busily employed at theenreh door in self-fla
gellntion and numerous ill matured stamps on the
carriage- floor, in order to koep up the circulation

oannot help thin king -for the red-nosed,half-frozen
inanimate lias a mind—that his master has precious
little religion and loss kindnors. Soon he is in
clined to beliove he has something worse than
either—ho has hypocrisy, prido, cruelty and hear
tlessness—and tho driver stamps unusually hard,
perhaps as much to give vent to nis indignation as
as to arivethe frost out of his boots. Without en
dors'gthe sweeping denunciations, we most say
that it does not look exactly Christian; and it is a
sight webelioldeverySunday. Perhapsthe driver
wants to worship God himself, and perhapß not.
At all events, it looks very singular—thoeetwen

A Warning to Bad Writers.— Tho Toledo
Blade tells a good story of a man who owned a buil
ding whieh was situated on land belonging to the
Michigan Central Railroad. The superintendent,
who writes a very bad hand, sent a short letter to
Mr. S., ordering him to rtxnovo the building at
once. But tho liouao was not removed, and three
months afterwards thosuperintendent met 8., and
began to scold him for not removeing the nuisance
desired, when ii appeared that the man bad receiv
ed tho no'.o, and, not being able to muke out its con
tents, had supposed it to be a pass over the road,
and hud been riding hack and forth all the summer
on tho strength of it!
Improvement in the Printis# I’beub.— The Pat
erson (N. J.) Guardian describes an important
improvement of the press, recently invented by
Ur, D. Baldwin, of Goodwinville, called the Press
Feeder, and designed to supply the press with
blank sheets. The model is a self-operative one,
and takos up ono sheet at a time, at the surprising
rato of 7,000 per hour Tbe manner of tnhinghola
of tho paper is truly ingenious, and works with the
greatest simplicity. The apparatus consists of •
horixontal tube, to which ato joined several small
vertical ones; tho whole, thus arranged, *re given
a reciprocating motion from the pile of paperto
tho main cylinder of the press. Connected with
these tubes is an air pump to exhanst them of the
air they contain.
As the tubes are made to pass over the pile of
paper, the pump in its turn exhausts the main tube,
and the air immediately rushing in at the lower
end of the smaller mhos to supply tho vaenum
thus formed, draws with it the ti p sheet of tho pile,
which, by Hie oxtemu! pressure of the atmosphere,
is held permanently against tho lace of the email
vertical tnbos. The sheet, thus secured, is drawn
forward to the oy Under, when the pump is re versed
aud the sheet ot paper is discharged where it re
ceives the impression. The tubes immediately
return to their former positien for another Bheet,
and in succession, till the whole pile of paper is
worked off. This invention bids fair to dispense
with a large amount of manasl labor, and strongly
recommends itself, from great simplicity snd cer
tainty in its working parts.
Operatives ln toe >. sited States and in Eng
land.—Mr. Cobden delivered recently a speech at
Manchester, England, in the coarse of which he
held this language :—" Now, gentlemen, I must
here again allude to America, fft'.ii I came thro*
Manchester the other day, 1 found many of the
most influential manufacturing capitalists talking
very gravely upon a report whioh had reached them

the Great Exhibition in New York. That gentle
man wasoue of the most eminent of the mechanics
and machine makers of Manchester, employing a
very large number of work-paople, renowned for
the"quality of his productions, and known in lae
scientific world, and whose scientific attainments
were appreciated from the Astronomer Boyal
dowuwards. lie had been over to New York to
report upon tbe progress of mechanics and me
chauical arts in the United States. Well, he has
returned.
“No report from him to the Government has, as
yet, been published, and what he has to say speci
tieially npou the subject will not be known until
that report has been so made and pnblisbed to the
coant-y. But it has oozed out in Manchester
amongst his neighbors, that be hes found in Ame
rica a degree of intelligence among tbe manufac
turing operatives, ned a state of things in the me
chanical a-tb, which have convinced him that, if we
hold our own—if *e are not to fall back in the rear
of nations—we must educate our people so as to
put them upon a level with the more educated ar
tisans of the U nited States.” (Applause.)

Fifteen Days Utrr frwm CeJlforeU.
By tbe arrival of the steamship United Stater,
we have fall film of San Francisco papers for the
fortnight, ending on the let instant, und a large
file of exchangee from the interior towns in Cali
' fornia.
Below we give all the news of general interest.
It appears that, notwithstanding the vigilance of
the Government authorities at San Francisco, tbe
expedition which waa to have started for Sonora,
nuder the supposed command ot Mr. William
Walker, formerly a lawyer in this oity, in the brig
Arrow, has succeeded in getting off. The San
Francisco Herald, of the 18th nit., says:
On Sunday night between the hoars of 10 and
12 o’clock, the bark Caroline was towed ontside
tbe Heads, having on board a portion of the Com
pany. This v- Bel had been cleared for Guaymas,
with her compliment ol past engers, about seventy.
The balance of the oompany, it is supposed, went
out on s tow bo it, and were transferred ontside,
on board the Carolina. We are informed that
about two hundred men c imposed ths oompany
who left. Some few were left behind, in conse
quence of tbe departu-e of the vessel, at an earlier
moment than had been fired upon caused by the
seizure, by tbe polioe o.' a dray load of powder,
while on its wav to tbe boat, Sunday night. This
party is said to be abundantly provided with arms
and ammunition, and it composed of the class
of men, as rnmor says, their arrival at their des
tined port will iead to no events of ordinary con
aeqnence.
1116 San Francisco Times and Transcript, in no
ticing the departure of the expedition says:
It is stated that these movements are based upon
a trading and mining organisation, and oon'em
plate no hostile demonstration towards the people
or authorities of Sonora.
It was currently rumored in San Francisco that
quite u number of men belonging to the expedition
had started by other vessels than the Caroline, and
would join comrades at Sonora.
The manger in which tbe Expedition managed
to get off without suspicion on tho part of the an
thorities, .a thus explained by the Times and
Transcript:
It has been very generally supposed that tho
brig Caroline, esesped from the harbor without
any clearance papers from the Custom House ;
we understand, however, that she was regnlarly
cleared, her papers all being satisfac’ory at the
time, vhe proper parties hesitating uot to take the
oaths prescribed. But as is known after she was
under way and out of the harbor, the oaths were
violated and the bulk of her passengers taken on
board. Whenshowitß cleared tbe captain swore
that he was to take but two passengers. We
doubt very tnnch, under the circumstances, if
she will ever make her appearance hereabouts
again.
On Saturday, the 15th ult., in the Connty
Clerk’s Office, San Francisco, John Mitchell, tbe
Irish patriot, declared his intention to beoome a
citizen of the U nited States. Tbe interesting cere
mony was witnessed by several of his countrymen
and friends.
The pnblie dinner given by the citizens of San
Franoiscoto John Mitohell, took place the eve
ning of the 26th nit., at the Musical Hall. Tbe
Times and Transcript has a fnll account of the
grand demonstration, tor which we regret we
cannot find room. The Times thus opens its ao
oount:
Tiie most magnificent testimonial ever offered
by the citizens ot San Francisco, came off last eve
ning at Muaicul Hall. It was an almost spontane
ous uprising of the flower ot our city, to do honor
to one of the oppressed Martyrs of Liberty, Mr.
John Mitchel, to celebiate as it were his escape
from thraldrom, and to tender suoh a reception
as was due to the distinguished ex-exile. and as
would express in some taint degree, the fee iog of
those who have received him with open arms.
Across the upper end of the immenso Hall was
spread the principal table, at which the President
and principal guests wore seated. From this, as a
starting point, five other tables, at right angles,
reached down the entire length of the hall.—
Plates were set for four hundred guests, and the
tables were crowded. At the lower end of the hall
the folds of the American flag, simply, were to be
sees draping the spleudid banner of the Hiber
nian Society. At the upper end were to be seeu
the harp with the Shamrock, and the American flag
falling over it gracefully; above it, “Erin go
Bragh,” and below it, “We nevor forget Thee.’’
At the centre of the principal table sat tho Pre
sident of the ovening, his Excellcnoy Gov. Bigler.
At his right, the distinguished guest, the escaped
“convict,” Mr. John Mitchel; at his left, (Jov.
Lane of Oregon. Next to Mr. Mitchel sat Mayor
Garrison, and further to the right still, Ex-Gover
nor Me Dougal, General Sutter, Denver, Secretary
of State, and Covarrubius. To the left of the Pre
sident, and after Governor Lane, the following
guests were seated—Most Rev. Archbisho Alema
ny, Archbishop of San Francisco, Rev. Hugh P.
Gallagher, Mr. P. J. Smyth, who, it will be remem
bered, took so active a part in securing the escape
of Mitchel, Capt. Chas. I*. Davis, the commander
of tlio Julia Ann, in which Mr. Mitchel came to
California, T. B. McManus, Esq., another of Bri
tain’s escaped “convicts,” Col. Henly and Comp
troller Pierce.
The repast was most sumptuous, and at intervals
a splendid brass baud discoursed most eloquent
music from tho stage. At 10 o’clock the intellec
tual feast commenced.
Referring to the eloquent speech of the noble
guest, the Times says:
It was delivered in an unassuming slyleof modes
ty, which charmed all present and won every heart
to him, while at the same time it breathed a bold
ness and unflinchingness of purpose, which has
marked the man in every point of his career, and
which only raised the applause to a storm of en
thusiasm.
Some idea may be formed of the importance of
the lumber trade between Oregon and San Fran
cisco, from the fact that no less than five brigs
arrived at that port on the 17th ult., from Columbia
river. The San Francisco Herald says:
We are constantly in the receipt of cargoes from
Puget’s Sound, also while nearly one hundred
mills are at work night and day in our own State.
From this may be inferred the rapid progress
which is being made in 'be building np of our
cities and towns, the cons notion of wharves, and
the planking of streets and loads throughout the
State.
The Paoific mail steamship Company have been
excited to extraordinary exertions by the great
success of the Nicaragua line. The Ban Francis -
oisco Herald says :
They are about to add to their fleet on this coast
four superb steamars, the equals in speed of the
Golden Gate and John L. Stephens, with which
in conjunction with the Railroad and new boats
on the other side, they confidently assert the trip
to and from California will be made within twenty
days. Their older boats *>ow on this ronte, will
bo employed in currying the way mails, or perhaps
in establishing aline between Parama and South
America, and another between Panama and Aus
tralia. We are not likely to suffer for the want of
steam facilities on this coast.
The telegraph line between Marysville and Sacra
mento, is in operation. The first despatch over
the line was received in Sacramento on the 18th
ult. from Marysville. The San Francisco Times &
Transcript of the 19th remarks:
It is bat a few oeks sinco the wires and poles
made their appearance in California, and another
month more will find San Franoisco in elegraphio
communication with half the population of the
Slate.
The Bnn Francisco Times and Transcript, of the
20th nit., has the following notice of a new article
ot speculation in China ware:
The British ship Lord Warriston, recently ar
rived here from China, brought over as passengers,
two young Chinese maidens, whose features as yet
have never been looked upon by the eyes of man.
Being closely veiled, they were placed on board the
vessel just before she sailed by an old woman who
accompanied them, and were immediately shut up
in a store room, the door of which was striotly
guarded by the old woman, during the whole pas
sage of nearly two months. We understand that
upon the evening of their arrival here, the same
precautions were taken by the old woman in bring
ing them ashore. This we believe, is an entirely
new article of speculation iu China ware.
A miner named Andrew King, from Missouri,
was murdered on the 20th ult., near Auburn, by a
man named Robert Scott, who shot him with a
pistol, killing him instantly, and then fled. The
difficulty arose from King refusing to loan Scott
money at a gambling house.
No better proof of the indomitable will and en
terprise characterizing a California population
could be asked, than the following glowing descrip
tion of affairs in Saoramento, which we oopy from
the State Journal:
Strangers visiting onr city are almost loßt in
amazement at the immense progress that is appa
rent to every eye- There are moro people living
in the city now than at any previous time. The
hotels are crowded to excess. Most of the res'au
rants sre doing a thriv ng business, and the mer
chants are selling goods in great quantities. Sub
stantial fire-proof buildings are rapidly taking the
place of the little wooden shanties erected last
winter, and in less than one year from the time we
were swept from existence, not a solitary monu
ment remains to mark'he disaster of November
last. By industry and toil—known more by Cali
fornians than any other class of persons in the
Onion—we have surmoun'ed difficulties that ap
peared at times almost unconquerable Our motto
was, "Never despair,” and faithfully has it been
adhered to. We are mightior now than ever, and
we must go on increasing in strength and power
daily. The approaching winter will be a prosper
ous and pleasant one.
We have strong claims, which will be duly im
pressed upon the Legislature at the earliest day,
tor the removal ot the Seat of Government to this
place. We will have a telegraph in operation in a
few days, that will place us at least two hours near
er San Francisco than Benicia now is, or will be
this year ; we are, in fact, the centre of the State.
But we do not propose to discuss this question
now, we were merely felicitating ourselves on the
success and prosperity of the Levee City.
A military post is being established at Fort Lane,
where Captain Miller is at present stationed with
three companies of dragoons to assist the emigrants
and keep the Indians in subjection.
A very large emigrant train from Arkansas pass
ed through PlacerviUe on the 17th nit.
Bich placers had been discovered on the San Jo
aquin, about three miles above Fort Miller, which,
it was said, were paying from two to six ounces
per day to each hand.
The people of the southern counties have re
solved to endure no longer the outrages and atro
cities of the Mexican bandits who have made that
section of the State their scene of operations. Tbe
San Francisco Herald learns that the citizens of
San Luis Obispo have hung op another of the gang
to the joist of the jail, making five in all they have
put to death within a month.
The Sonora Herald says that the small-pox has
entirely disappeared from that city.
ThelJ. S. steamer Active, Lieut. Com’g Stevens,
attached to tbe Coast Survey on the Pacific, return
ed to San Francisco on tbe £Bd nit., after an ab
sence ot three or tour months, daring which time
she had been diligently engaged in prosecuting the
surveys of the coast, in the northern part of Ore
gon.
The Commercial Advertiser says that the Asses
sor’s returns for the current fiscal year, of the va
lue of re J and personal property in San Francisr j
amount to twenty nine millions of dollars. This,
to her population of forty thousand, gives $735 to
every inhabitant—man, woman and child. In the
city of Sacramento it is S6BB.
W e notice that San Francisco now has telegraph
ic communications with Marysville, Sacramento,
Stockton and San Jose.
The San Francisco Herald learns that the pre
paratory steps are being taken to procure a Writ
of Error from the Supreme Court of the United
States to the Supreme Court of California, in the
case in which the recent decision was made as
serting the title of California to the Mineral Lands
within her borders, as an appendage of her sover
eignty. The question is one of incalculable im
portance, and tbe decision excited much surprise.
In relation to mintr, mining prospects, <fcc.,
the Sonora Herald says:
This is the dullest season with all bat creek end
river miners, in coneeanence of the scarcity of
water. Towards the close of our long summer
drought the streams afforded to the water oompa -
nies are of hnt scanty dimensions, and the bills,
flats and gulches are dry as a desert waste, with
scarcely sufficient water for drinking purposes.
Tbe companies working in creeks are generally
doing well, having just sufficient water for Wishing
ftowingby them, while theepria|»bsMeth having
lew form and . volume than at any other seasons,
allow the bed to be drained with more facility.
Where the claims are deep and springs abundant,
force pumps end wheels worked by mule-power
are used, which must be kept at work night and
day to render effective assistance.
The Tuolnmne County WaUr Co., is ths only
ons whose canal still affords a supply—end its
stream is so diminished that the benefits are
necessarily confined to t few companies. In the
mean time many of our mining population are pre
paring for winter, by prospecting their claims,
throwing up dirt, fitting their cabins and laying
in a winter’s supply of provisions. At various
points, Dow dry, tha earth “ prospects first rate,’
promising an abundant yield of gold when the
rains fall and eDeble the owners to wash it out.
The immense amount of labor performed each
su receding year does not appearto have any sensi
ble effect in diminishing the immense area of
snriferous ground. The depoeitea fail not—while
the energy and industry of the laborers are silent
ly doing their w_*k, discovering fresh resources
and more fully developing the old.
The San Francisco Times & Transcript of the
27th nit., bss the tollowing paragraphs:
Lieot. Beale recently passed through Stockton
on bis way to thfe Trejon Pass, for the purpose ol
locating tne Indians upon tbe reservation in that
vicinity. Tbe Bepnbitcan says "the present In
dian reservation, or rancho, in Mariposa oornty,
will, we understand, be abandoned. The Indians
—or such of them as are disposed to place them
selves nndei tbe protection of tbe United States
Government—will be removed to a new station
near Trejon Pass.
We learn from the Ban Joaquin Republican that
an affair of honor came off on the Sacramento
road, on Saturday last, between Mr. Oliver T.
Baird, of Brooklyn, New Tork, and Lient. C. J.
Wright, late of the army. The latter fell at the
second fire, being shot in the neck. The affair is
supposed to have arisen from words need by
Lient. Wright in regard to Mr. Baird’s oonnexion
with the Sonora expedition.
Oregon.
Dates from Oregon, to the 20th of October have
been received in San Francisco. We extract the
following items from the Columbian :
Gold has been discovered near the road by Capt.
MoClelian’s party; also copper and brimstone,
both in large quantities.
Close or tbe Indian War. —The war is sup
posed to be over. A treaty of peace las been
made with the Indians, but it would be difficult to
surmise how long it will last. The Indians in fair
fighting, have had the advantage, and have aato
ntshed all by their bravery and skill. The Indians
of this vailey are eunning and danntiess. A rifle
in their hands is a most formidabls weapon, and
thev fear not to ose it whenever eirenmstanoes re
quire it.
Many of the citizens are dissatisfied with Gen.
Lane, for having made t tieaty so soon with the
enemy, but the less roudy and sanguinary Dor
tion of the community are highly pleased with it.
and are anxioos to exert their influence to have all
the conditions of it faithfully fulfilled.
The Immigration. —A gentleman jnst arrived
over tne plains says the number of the immigra
tion has been mnch underrated. He thinks it will
number over twelve thousand souls. If so, it will
make the Oregon population not far from forty-five
thousand.
Population.— The population of Oregon, when
the returns are all in, will not fall far short of
40,000 souls. Marin county has the greatest num
ber of inhabitants. It numbers 5,418.
Faun.—Peaches are plenty in our market at 26
cents per dozen. This is something of a decline
in prioe. The first that made their appearance
here Bold at $1 per dozen.
Sandwich Islands.
By the arrival at San Francisco of the British
frigate Amphithrite, files of papers from Honolulu
to the Bth of Ootober, had been received there.—
We find the following summary of the news in the
San Francisco papers:
Resignation of the Pbemieb.— Tho Argus says
that owing to a discrepancy between the constitu
tion and the organic acts, H. R. H. Prince Lot
Kamehama has temporarily resigned the Premier
ship, and that It hre pleased his Majosty to re-ap
point John Young, Esq., to the office of Kuhina-
Nui.
Annexation to the United States.— The A.-
gus, although opposed to annexation, opens its
columns to the advocates of tho measure. Several
elaborate articles in its fuvor have recently ap
peared. Thu writer, in discussiro at length the
various objections made to annexation, says :
“The export of sugar alone to California, during
the last month, amounted to a very laige sum.
Coffeo, though but little cultivated, has always
found a ready purchaser in the land of gold, i ad
if the plr iters are able to sustain themselves, un
der the present heavy duties that they are com
pelled to pay the Government of the United States,
is it not plainly apparent how great and important
a stimulus would be offered to the cultivation of
the soil if this objection were removed I But
these are not by any means the only artie'es that
could be successfully cultivated for exportation on
this fertile group ot islands. A never failing mar
ket for ail the tropical fruits that could be grown
here would be ducovered. Oranges, pineapples,
bananas,melons,&c., form a most valuable branch
of business fcetwoen Cuba and tho United States,
as any one conversant with the subject is aware.—
But were sugar and coffee the only articles that
we are capable of raising tor exportation, we
should, under the protecting wing of the Ameri
can eagle, find a larger consumer than we were
able to supply.”
Tho writer then goes on to show that the natives
arc all rapidly fading away—thrt an industrious
population is nocc rsary to recuperatetho islands—
that no such population can be expected by a
union with Franoe or Great Britain—and that it is
only by annexation to the Unite# States that an
immigration oould be effected. “That will revive
the decaying energies of this nation, for to all
others they are of comparatively little value, and
no other can be compared to the United States in
the amount of mutual advantages that will be o< n
ferred, for no other wi'l bring the same amount
of population with the energy and the industry to
develop the resources of the soil.
Another correspondent writes : “We have late
ly achieved a great victory, but the battle that has
been fought is one only of a series that we have to
fight. If we remain true to ourselves, public
opinion will iu the end conquer, and we shall se
cure an efficient and responsible government in
these Hawaiian Islands. ‘Know ye not, who
would be free themselves must strike the blow.’
This saying should be taken as our watohword :
It should be a very Shibboleth amongst us and
should never be absent from our minds. We have
struck one blow and its weight should show us
what we can do when we have unanimity in our
ranks and justice on our side. The next thing we
have to do is to dissolve that unholy alliance that
exists between the press and the administration;
to dry up the ink and stay the pen that is always
ready to suppress trnth and propagate orror—this
would be to hurst our bonds assundsr at a blow
and to secure, for the future, a popular, impartial
and responsible Government. It would be one of
tko most searching and effective measures of re
form that we could possibly carry."
Ravaqm of the Small Pox —The small-pox
has not yet ceased its ravages, although it is gradu
ally diminishing throughout the entire group. The
number of new c es reported in the Island of
Oahu for the week endiDg September 16th, was
946 ; number of deaths in same time, 64. For
week ending September 28. new cases, 85 ; deaths
85. For week ending October 7, there was a sud
den increasein the malignancy of the disease, num
ber ot new cases, 198; deaths, 76. From the
other islands the report for the four weeks men

2, none 42 ; and deaths, 5,7, none 18. The total
number or cases reported up to the Blh of October
reached the enormous amount of 5,661, of whom
2,088, are known to have died.
The small-pox has disappeared from Lahaina.
George M. chase has been officially reoognized

Loss OF Ship Citizen, of New Bedford.— Of
the numerous fleet of whaleehips that cruised in
the Arctic in 1852, we believe the Citizen, of New
Bedford, was the only one not reported as having
visited some port, or known to have been lost.—
For the pas- six months, or since news from the
different ports visited by whalers had been re
ceived, fears were entertained for the fate of this
ship, which, unfortunately, have been confirmed
too arrival at Honolulu of the William Tell,
Capt. Tiber, from the Arctic, on board of which
ship were two of the erew of the Citizen. From
one of these, Joseph Mears, of Philadelphia,
the following particulars have been ohtained:
On the 25th of September,|lßs2, the Citizen had
been lying to in a heavy gale for four days. Hav
mg been without observations, her position was not
exactly known; and during the night of that day it
was found she was getting into shoal water, when
the Bhip was immediately put about and sail made
upon her. Before she could accomplish this, how
ever, she struck upon a sand booth about north lati
tude 67 degrees, when her masts were immediate
ly cut away. A heavy sea soon after struck the
ship, nndcarried away her poop .lock aft, making
her a perfect wreck. 8
Being too rough for boats to live, the crew suc
ceeded m getting ashore on spars, & c with the
exception of four Portuguese and one American,
Charles L. Heath, of Philadelphia. These were
drowned in attempting to reach the shore. The
morning dawned upon a bleak and uninhabited
shore, and fonnd them m circumstances of peril
wrich required strong nerves to encounter’.
During the day a small quantity of provisions
wore washed whore, which were carefully rolled
upon the beach. Tbe next endeavor of the ship
w Recked men was to find inhabitants and a she!
ter from tbe bleak winds and intense cold, which
would have soon ont them off without protection
After a little exploration, two natives were dis-‘
covered, who were friendly, and theee they ac
companied to the nearest village, which was shout
fifteen miles distant. Here they were received
with the kindest attentions, and every thing done
for their comfort which the circumstances of the
natives allowed. Sledges were despatched for the
provisions saved, which were safely housed The
crew were provided for n the nativo huto, and
furnished with skins, without which, during the
winter, they would have perished. The provis
ions saved from the wreck subsisted the crew for
about six months, after which time, for two or
three months, they were famished by the native
with fish, whales’blabber, walrus flesh &c For
more than two months entire darkness reigned
and the cold was most intense. An Americanand
a Hawai lan were frozen to death duringtbe winter
The settlement consisted of fifteen hut* and a
population of about fifty persons, all of whom
seemed to feel a responsibility for the safe keen
ing of their guests, and apprehensive that if inv
of them should be lost, the American Government
would punish them for their neglect. This aDore
hension led them to impose some restraint noon
the crew, who did not nnderstand as well as they
did the danger of exposure to the cold, or’the haz
ard they would run in attempting to reach the
East Cape, which some of them had an idea of un
dertaking, when their provisions failed.
From February to April, different parties left
for the Cape, about two hundred andfiftymiea
distant. They travelled on the ice, and wherever
thoy found natives, they received the same kind
ness and hospitality as at the first village. The
journey was performed with much suffering. Fail
ing of native hats, they were sometimes compell
ed to sleep upon the ice, and almost perished
The last party reached the Capa Settlement
about the middle of June, and on the 2d of Jnly
the thrilling cry of “Sail O!" greeted their ears.
This proved to be the Bremen ship Josepb Hav
dan, Capt. Gossman, who had heard of their
wreck and was in search of them. The ship
wrecked men were immediately taken on board
and every attention shown them. From this ship
they were ecettered among the fleet, and some of
them have already arrivedfbere, aa stated above.
Capt. Norton is on board the Helen Augusta and
is soon expected at this port, upon whim* arrival
we may be able to procure more details in regard
to his disaster. The Citizen was of 461 tons and
owned in New Bedford by J. Howland, Jr, k Co.
She had between two and three thousand barrels
oil on board, with a fair prospect of fillinc up had
she not met with this disaster.
It is reported that after tbe gale in September
abated there was a fine season of weather, and
whales innumerable abounded. As winter ap
prosebed immense numbers were Been b«adjng
southward, and going through tbs straits Into the
open sea. Tbe Arctic appears to be frozen over,
with the exception of holes hers snd there, and
from the observations made it seems to be estab
lished that the whales de not winter in the Arctic,
but seek a milder temperature in the open sea out
side the straits.
In view of the kindness shown these ship
wrecked men by the Datives, when entirely in
their power, we cannot forbear the expression of
the opinion, that their conduct richly merits a sub
stantial acknowledgment by the American Gov
ernment. A few hundred dollars, in the form of
blankets, thick clothing, &c.. would ro .vard them
for tbe past, and might seeure to fotnre ship
wrecked crews attention and aid that would su> -
tain their lives and restore them to their ooantry.
South America.
The Panama papers received by the Unit'd
States, oontain news from Valparaiso to the 15 I ,
Callao to the 25tb, and Guayaquil to the 80th->!
October. The Star has tho following:
The Ist of October was tbe anniversary of the
commencement of tee Valparaiso and Santiago
Railroad ; it is expected that in another year it
will be opened to Quillota for travel.
A correspondent of the Herald, writing from
Valparaiso on the 15th, says:
Daring ths last fifteen days we have talked
ourselves dry. The Americans have got np a lit
tle extra patriotism on the Peruvian difficulty,
and some charitable enthusiasm for Capt. Snow,
who, as yon have heard ere this, lost his brig
Chatham on the sth of January last, in long. 160
W., Ist. 8 deg. S., on a coral island, said not to be
laid down on any chart; hot I think it will turn
out to be “Penguins” Island, which I think is laid
down by Wilkes.
The American Consul and Minister (Col. P >
ton having thrown hia cloak over him on lea vim
this for Califofnia) has, with considerable prompt
ness, this day (14th October) ohartcred the Chili
an brig Express, on the credit of the Uni’edS'.ati-
Government, to go to the unknown i-land a d
bring thence the crew of the brig Chatham, if they
should be found alive, as they are among a set »i
cannibals. This brig is to be officered and manned
by men from the U.S. storeship, and I suppose
will fly the stars and stripes for the time being.
From Guayaquil we nave received accounts of
the attempt of Don Domingo Ellis to get up a ro
volntionary movement in Peru. It appears that
Don Domingo ohartered the ship Prociosn to take
him and his partisans to Paita ; but the Eouado
rian Government discovered the movement, com
pelted the owner of the ship to give $40,000 secu
rity that he would proceed to Mexico—for which
jlace he cleared—without touching at any port in
’em. Elias then gave the captain $50,000 securi
ty against any danger the ship might incur, and
consequently the vessel sailed for Paita in spite of
the Govei ament. On the 21st October, Elias is
said tohavemadeadesoent on Tumbes, but was
repulsed with the loss of one of his followers. So
□or Quintana, his nephew, was taken prisoner and
placed on board he Peruvian war steamer Rimao.

Panama Railroad.— The New York Journal of
Commerce furnishes the following particulars re
lative to the PaLama Railroad, derived from a
forthcoming report of the Directors: —
The wbolo length of the road between the two
ooeansis49 miles; of this, a fraction over 23 miles
have been in operation since July, 1812. Eight
miles more, or 81 from Aprewall, will bo in opera
tion by January Ist, leaving 18 miles to be comple
ted. The latter seodon has already been commen
ced at both ends, and the iron for the wholo is on
the ground. From the Obispo, the place to whioh
the cars will s< in be running, the road runs along
the valley of 1 he rivor, crossing it twieo, after
which it crosses the summit ridge between tho two
oceans. Tho highest grade on tho Atlantic slope
is 91 feet per mile, and on the Pacific 70 foet per
mile—the total rise being2so foet above the level
of high tide at Panama.
The heaviest work will beat the Binnmit, whoro
there is a cutting 24 feet in greatest depth, and
1,800 feet long. The estimated cost in completing
the road, with repairs, &c., on that already con
structed, is less than fiftee.i hundred thousand dot
Ira. In addition to rights of way for the road, tho
company own the Island of Mazamlla, on which
the oity of Atn'nwall is situated, comprising an
ere l of 650 ac.es, on which 800 houses have alrea
dy been erected, yielding an annual ground rent
of $15,000. The company also own over 100,000
acres of wild lard along the line of the road, and
half of three islands in the Boy of Panama. If no
unforeseen obstacle be encountered, the road will
be finished from ocean to ocean,by noxtFall, orat
the farthest, in all of next year. Meanwhile, the
portion finished, is doing a splendid business, con
stantly increasing.
The Cotton Crop in Texas snd Louisiana. —Tho
editor of the Shreveport Democrat, in an article
published in that paper of the 17th ult, in regard
to the cotton crop, says:
“ We have traveled through Caddo, Bossier, De
Boto and Harrison oounty, Texas, and examined
the crops particularly, and made many inquiries of
the most intelligent planters respecting the proba
ble amount of the present crop of cotton. Bossier,
we learn from the most reliable sources, will fall at
least four thousand bales behind last year. One
gentleman alone will not come up to his last vein’s
orop by eight hundred bales. Smaller planters will
lack from 50 to 100 bales. The parish will make
probably about three-fifths of the crop of last y jar,
and De Soto will make about the same. It will be
about the same iu Harrison county, Texas ; but
Rusk, Smith, and a few other counties, will do
something better. Taken altogether, the cotton
orop in North-west Louisiana and Eastern Texas
will fall considerably below the crop ot last year
per acre ; but, as there is more ground cultivated,
especially in Texas, the aggregate crop may equal,
if it does not surpass, that of last year.
Attack upon a Vassel by Savages.—A late San
Francißco paper states that the brig Rosa, while
on a trading voyage among th- South Pacific
Islands, was attacked at Tiurora by savages, and
the captain and several of the crew were murder
ed. It seems that the nativos, of whom a large
number had been admitted on board the vessel,
commenced a simultaneous attack upon tho crew
of the brig, killing or overpowering six of their
nnmber, and forcing the survivors to seek refuge
inthecabin. They there procured arms and am
munition, and aucceded in shooting several na
tives from the skylight. The crew finally left their
place of refuge, and alter asharp aonflict succeed
ed in overpowering tho natives, driving most of
them overboard. On the deck were found ttie
lifeless bodies of the captain and three of the
crew. The chief ma'o and one seaman were mi«-
Bing, having probably been thrown overboard.
The second male, upon whom the command of
the brig devolved, bore the vessel up for Sydney,
where she arrived in safety.
A Comet. —The Newark Advertiser of Saturday
nays:—“Another comet was discovered last evening
by Mr. Robert Van Arsdale, of this city, in tlio

Illinois Central Railroad. —The Illinois Cen

In traveling on the 700 miles of the company’s
road, and after patient aud minute invostigatiou
have made a report to tbe board, in an emineDt
degreo satisfactory. Wo append the material por
tions.
The road, itwillberememberod, was commenced
by tbe State of Illinois, and abandoned after the
expenditure of some $2,000,000. The Federal Gov
ernment, in 1850. having donated 2,550,000 acres
in aid of it, that land, and the remains of the road,
were made over to the present company, who
placed the whole in trust to Becuro $17,000,000 of
7 per cent, bonds, to be issued in the construction,
that is, 2,000,000 acres to psy the princip’l, and
250,000 acres for the interest. Os these bonds, the
first issue at 0 per cent, was for the purchase of
70,000 tons railroad iron, at rates 50 per cent be
low the present prices. Those are held abroad,
and successive issues have been made, in all $12,-
000,000.
The whole stand on the same footing, and are of
equal value, with the exception that the privilege
was extended to the last $3,000,000 loan ot the
right to subscribe to three shares of stock tor every
SI,OOO bond. There has been paid Id on tho stock
$5 per share, and these are held at S3O or $25 each
premium. Consequently, where the right is sold
with the bond, the latter is worth per cent,
more than the other bonds, but the stockholders,
some of them will not sell at SSO, subject to future
instalments, which will probably never be called
for.
There baa already been expended on tbe road,
$9,102,204; and the work has been pushed with
such vigor, that tbe expenditure has been kept
$700,600 ahead of the instalments due by contraot
on the bonds issued. 175 miles of track are laid,
and the grading on the whole line so far complete
that a reduction of $50,000 per month will take
place immediately in the expenditure for that pur
pose. Enough has beecjdoue to satisfy all, that tbe
cost will be within the estimates (17,00,000,) to the
amount of which means are provided.
This work will have been completed without the
sale of a bond below par by the company, or tbe
payment of a single dollar for extra interest, aud
with ample provisions made in land to meet all
the bonds before they were issued. The recent
pressure in the money market has been of great
service to the road, from the fact that thousands of
laborers discharged from other roads have flocked
tbitber for employment.
Ak Attemtt to Murdxk.— Four negroes, be

Intebrsting Trials in North Carolina. —The
Milton Chronicle of the 24th instant has reports of
two trials, which excited great : iterest in Person
County Superior Court last week. The first is
that of Col. J. Douglass, of Orange, who was
tried on a suit brought by Miss Margaret Holeman,
of Person, for seduction, in which she c'aimed
$lO 000 damages. The jury returned a verdict in
favor of Mies Holeman, and awarding the full
amount ($10,000) of damages she sued for—an
amount, we venture to eay, unprecedented by any
similar case to be fonnd upon record. bougta-a is
a married man, and therefore no breach of promise
to marry was involved in tbe bill of complaint.
Tbe Chronicle understands that tbe plaintiff sub
sequently compromised on $5,000. The other
owe was the trial of Bnshrod Harris for tbe mur
der of (man named Winfree, a printer, bailing
from Richmond. The jury, after about twenty
minute a’ deliberation, returned a verdict of guilty
of mnrder; whereupon tho court-house rang with

DETAILS BT TUB ATLANTIC.
London, Nov. 15,1853.
The past week keg been like thoee which were
experienced in 1849, during the straggle in Hun
gary, the daily accounts received troin the seat of
war in the Turkish principalities being all of a
vague although exciting description.
Thus far every statement, purporting in the
si ghteat degree to be of e definite character, has
tended to confirm the impression of a series of
"tost important successes having been gained by
the Turks, and although, on the other hand, a ru
mor has been ourrent during the last 48 hours of a
desperate battle having been fought under the
wails of Bucheres , which terminated in a com
plete victory on the part of the Russians, it has
not been in any way supported by collateral evi
dence, or been traced to any authentic source.
As regards the real nature of the successes ob
tained by the Turks, the localities at which they
occurred and the various divisions of the army by
which they wero achieved, the greatest ooniusiou
still prevails. That they have actually taken place
however, is wholly beyond doubt. The most spe
cific account relates to the conflict alluded to in
the last letters as having been carriod on near
Oltenitza, a town or village on the Wallaohian
bank of the Danube, at a point where a considera
ole portion of the Turkish army crossed the river
from Bulgaria, and situated about 86 miles from
Bucharest, the capital of the Principality, where
Prince Gortschakofif had established his head
quarters.
In this action, it is asserted, the Turks had on
ly 9UOO men engaged against a superior force ol
Russians under General Dannenberg, by whom
they were attacked. The fighting was obstinately
prolraoted, and the loss of tne Russians, especial
ly in superior officers was most severe. Accord
ing to report, scarcely a single oolonel or lieuten
ant escaped, a large number of expert marksmen
in the Turkish force haviug been provided with
Miuie rifios, with which they picked out all the
men of rank. During the coutest the Tu; ks also
fired with great precision from one of tbeir forts
on the opposite Bide of the river, fin Bulgaria,)
aud inflicted great damage on the Russians, the
shots passing over the heads of their own troops.
Ultimately it appears the engagement was decided
by the Turks at the poiut of the bayonet, and tbo
Russians retreated alter having sustained a loss of
1200 men in killed aud wounded.
It is also reported that the Turks wero aided by
' rcachery among the Russians. The outposts of
the Russians, consisted, it is said, of Polish troopa,
who suffered the enemy to advance without notioe
aud who finally went over to them. Four Polish
-oldiers are since said to have been summarily
shot by the Russian commander.
Meanwhile other arrangements were taking place
at points higher up t -e river, where different divi
sions of the Turkish army had erossed. Thus at a
fortified p'ace called Uiurgevo, which was deemed
of great importance by the Russians, a struggle of
rnoro or less importance iB kuown to have taken
place, in wh.oh the Turks were rot the losing par
ty. It has even been reported that, aftor crossing
the river in safety, they succeeded in taking the
fort by storm ; but as this account was oiroulated
same days back and no confirmation ot It bus since
been reoeived, it may possibly have been an exag
gerution. Still turther up the rivor, at a distance of
about 160 miles, is a place called Kalafat, nearly op
posite the important Turkish town of Widdin,
where the passage of the largest portion of the
Turkish army was effected: and hero also the land
ing appea-a to have taken placo without any casu
alties—whilo at tho same time there are reports of
a Russian division having been beaten back from
that neighborhood.
According to the statements roceived by the
Turkish Embassy at Vienna, between 80,000 and
and 100,000 Turks have already crossed the Da
nube, at the tt ree points just named. Whether
the plau of operations adopted by Omar Pasha con
templates the junction of these forces and a com
bined attack on the Russians at Bucharest, or whe
ther each is to pursue some distinot line of aotion,
is now tho great problem of interest among those
who are watching the progress of the war. That
the defeated Russians have been retreating upon
Bucharest is unquestionable, but nothing positive
has transpired as to whether the Turks have fol
lowed them. The report already alluded to, of the
Turks having suffered a defeat under tho walls of
that city, could only bo based upon the presumption
that the remains of the routed division of the Rus
sian army had fallen back and been strengthened
by tho main force under Prince Gortsohakoff, tho
Turks having at tho same time advanced too pre
cipitately and in too small a body. Such a suppo
sition, however, seems in itself improbable, and is
rendored still more so by the laot of the source of
assertion notfb.ing traceable.
Nevertheless, it is possible, that although an
invention in the first instance, it may within a few
hours be fulfilled. Telegraphio accounts from
Vienna up to yesterday afternoon represent that
fighting was renewed near Bucharest on the morn
ing of the 11th, but tho extent of tho combat was
not known, nor tho probable nature of the result.
One plan of operations attributed to Oraor Pasha
is that he will endeevor to throw a Turkish force
across the Danube, at its Northern extremity, near
Gulatz, by wl 'ch be would take tho Russians in
their roar, and intercept also the arrival of their
reserves from Bessarabia.
As respects the opening of the campaign in Tur
key in Asia, and the adjoining Russian territory,
the accounts thus far have also been disastrous for
the Czar. It is said that the Turks have obtained
possession of five Russian forts in Georgia and the
Caucasus, and as the preceding statements gave
details of reverses sustained by tho Russian troops
in their movements through the country, there is
good ground to believe that on tho whole they
must have suffered severely.
The steps contemplated by England and France,
as tho allies of Turkey, remains for the present
profoundly secret, but tho last manifesto of the
Czar will greatly stimulate a decided course of ao
tion on the part of both Governments. Russia is
still exerting all her influence to induce a separa
tion between the British a' u French Cabinets, but
without success, tho motives of the attempt having
long been too obvious. Her last trick, it is saidj
was for Baron Brunow, her ambassador in London,
to represent to the English Cabinet that tho Czar
wonld not mind acceding to such terms as England
might independently propose, although he could
not oondoscend to aocept them from Louis Napo
leon.
Iu the midst of all these complications the Eng
lish funds show undiminished firmness, and it is
very evident that in the abac ce of such disturb
ing causes extremely high pricos would again be
reached. At the last aute Consols were quoted
and yesterday they experienced an advance
as tliroo-quarters per cent. To-day they have
touched 95 but the closing prices was 94%. The
public continue to buy largoly while tho specula
tors still act on the adverse Bide, aud hence stock
continues purohasoeble at a lower prices for de
livery in three weeks time than that bought for
immediate payment.
Monoy is abundant out of doors at 4% to 4% per
cent., aud the Bank of England have just notiflud
that they are prepared to discount certain Govern
ment payments for stocks, which are to be paid off
in Januaiy next, at the rote of 8 per cent, instead
of at 4 per cent, as advertised by them about ton
days back. Spectator.
The Seat of Wab. —There is in reality litt.e fur
ther authentic intelligence from tho Danube and
most of the known particulars of the various en
gagements wero very clearly set forth in tho ex
tracts we gave yestorday from the London Times.
There were, however, numerous, and wo deem ex
aggerated, reports afloat, same of them, no doubt,
originat'ng from that “ pertain banker” at Vienna,
who has so adroitly used tho telegraph aforetime
for operating on the money market. One report,
not confirmed, is that a “decisive engagement” had
taken place at Krujova, and had terminated in
favor of the Turks. We presume that tho worn
“decisive” is not to be taken literally, for any
“ decisive” battle so early in the campaign is
scarcely to be expected. Stripped ofits telegraphio
phraseology, we supposo it simply means that a
pitched battle, something more than a rapid as
sault or skirmish, has taken placo at Krajovu, upon
whioh place the Turkish forces wore reported to
bo preparing to march. Another report was that
in this alleged “ decisive engagement” the Rus
sians, and not the Turks, obtainoil a complete vic
tory, and that the Turks had retired across the
Danube into Bulgaria. It is, of course impossible
to decide with confidence between such conflicting
rumors. The London Times of the 16th re
marks :
In tbe obscurity which euvelopes all these pro
ceedings we are unable to say what degree of pro
bability such a statement actually carries. If the
affair at Oltcnitza, and subsequently the encounter
between Kalafat and Krajova have been, as we be
lieve, corroctly reported, it is exceedingly unlikely
that a Russian forco could have been concentrated
under the walls at Bucharest in sufficient strength
and spirit to repulse the victorious troops of Omar
Pasha ; but, if the story of the battle in Lesser
Wallachia is untrue, or, as now appoars most like
ly, oniyanotber version of the engagement at Ol
tenitza, and if the main body of the Russians had
not before been brought into setion, it is possible
that this now report may possess some fonndation.
Nothing is stated, however, from which we can
infer what particular body or detachment of the
Turks had experienced this defeat at Bucharest.
As far as we can apprehend with any clearness or
certainty tho relative views or positions of the two
commanders, the prospects of the campaign ap
peared recently to be as follows : —The Turks liad
crosred the Danube atseveral points between Tur
tukai and Widdin. At tho former of these two
places, as also at Ginrgcvo, they were in a direc.
line to the Russian headquarters at Bucharest, and
not more than some sixty miles distant.
At Oltenitza, opposite Tnrtukai, they had es
tablished themselves, after an encounter of even
greater severity than was at first reported, in
strength of about 18,000 men ; but whether they
met with the same success at Gmrgevo has not yet
been learned. Giurgeiowas strorjly garrisoned
by the Russians, and regarded by Prince Gortaeha
koff as a place of great importance to his pc'ition at
Bucharest. That the Turks attacked it we know,
and they even stormed it has been more than once
reported ; but no confirmation of thia assertion
has yet arrived.
At neither of th<-se points, however was the
main force of the Ottomans represented as engag
ed. Their chief line of operations were said to lie
between Kalafat—the point opposite Widdin—and
Krajova, so that the Turkish commander might
either advance upon tbe right flunk of the Rus
sians byway of Slatina, or drew their main force
upon himself in Lesser Wallachia, while his other
divisions at Ginrgevo and Oltenitza might march
upon Bucharest, thus denuded of support. This
was the alleged position of the Ottomans. The
Kut dans, it was said, were concentrated in
strength between Krajova and Slatina, uuder Gen.
Dannenberg, with a reserve under Prince Gorts
ebakoff at Bucharest.
The battle reported in tie telegraphic despatch
es ol last week appeared to answer in dese iption
to the relative positions of tho Kalafat division of
tho Turks end the Russian force under General
Dannenberg, and it wta asserted that the latter
had retired upon Buchare-t with very considera
ble loss. On thia supposition we should put but
little laith in the rumor that another bittle had
now occurred at Bucharest, with results favorable
to the Russians, for, as General Dannenberg would
probably have been closely followed in his retreat
by the Turks from Kalafat, and these might be
joined by their victorious comrades from Oltenit
za, it is obviorsly unlikely that the successful
foroes in combination wonla be beaten by the de
feated forces in combination.
On the other hand, it the reports of the encoun
ter in Lesser Wallachia all referred in reality to
the one affair at Oltenitza, PrinceGortschakoff and
General Dannenberg have again fallen in with
united forces on the Turks, the fortune of war
may possibly hive been revised. In thia case the
rumor of a battle favorable to the Russians may
point to the renewal of the engagement at Olteu
nza by Prince Gortschakoff in person and with
forces superior to those of tho Turks.
This, however, even if unfavorable in its results
to Omar Pasha’s troops, would hardly be decisive
of tbe campaign ; for the force of the Turks thus
defeated would probably not have included more
that the original detachment which bad crossed
from Turtukai, the main body of tbe Ottomans
remaining still unmolested in Lesser Wallachia.
At other points, too, the Turks wero reported as
fortifying themselves in strong positions on the
left bank of the river, ahd if the whole force ol tbe
Russians were required to overcome the single di
vision at Oltenitza, the Ottoman must sti* be in
strength enough to encounter Prince Gortschakoff.
weakened as he necessarily must be by the seve
rity of this engagement.
It is not improbable, however, that this rums of
VOL. LXVI.-NEW SERIES VOL. XVII.--NO. 47.
t n® ® oßei *n sooce-s may rest on no foundation at
all, although, if Prinoe Gortschakoff did really,
upon intelligence of the oonflict at Oltenitza, ad
vance upon that place with all the foroe at his oom
maud to reuaw tue encounter, it is dear tuat we
onght to expoat decisive tidings either of his vio
torj or his defeat. The Russians at Oltenitza are
represented sometimes as General PerlofTs, and
sometimes as General Danuenberg’sdivision; and
the latter commander is described in one report as
being at Krajovs, and in another as being at Bucha
rest. One auticipation ol ours, it will be seen, is
already verified, viz., that the superiority of the
Turkish force at Olenitza was considerably over
rated.
The very vagueness, however, of all these as
sumptions is sufficient to show the conjectural
character of the speculations to which, in the ab
sence of authenticated intelligence, we are com
pelled to reour. It may be quite possible that no
engagement has yet bcenfoughl of anature calcu
lated to docide the qualities of the two armies, but
it appears to us, nevertheless, that the onrrent of
all roporta is against the Russiaus. That the Otto
mans would not be impartially treated by the sur
veyors of such intelligence is well known, where
as all the incidents sucoesaivoly related tell in their
favor, and the accumulated evidence beoomes very
appreciable, even where its oomponeut parts are
e know that the Turks orossed the Danube,
and that at each point of their passage they suc
ceeded in establishing themsolvea either without
molestations or in defiance of attack. We know
that Prinoe Gortschakoff did not at once assail
them, as might have beon expected from the com
mander of forces so presumptively superior. We
kuow that at Oltenitza the Turks remainsd mas
tors of the field after a conflict of great severity,
aud there is reason to surmise that they have been
successful everywhere.
Perhaps better information, when it does arrive,
may, by qualitying some of thoao incidents, or bal
ancing them by otnors yet unknown, improve the
case of the Russians; but that this should ever
have fallen into its present position muststill, we
think, remain a proof that muoh misconception
prevailed respecting their strength and resources
| in the Dunubian Principalities.
Respecting the afluirat Oltenitza, the Paris jfoni
t»ur ot the 14th inst. says.
The Government has reoolved the following de
tails of ihoreuocntre on tho 4th betweon the Turks
and Russians at Oltenitza, It is in the triangle
formed by tho Argis, the Danube, and the villago
of Oltonitza, that the sanguinary combat ot tho 4tb
took place. The Turks were only 9,000 strong;
they ocoupiod the quarantine building situated in
the plain near the Danube aud the village. This
building aud an old redoubt wore fortified with
materials brought from Turtukai. The Turks
made use of the batteries of that fortress with great
success; they threw aoross tho Danube, whioh is
here about 260 toiscs in width, ahot and shells
whioh roaohed the Russians at the foot of tho vil
lage sityute on an elevation. Gen. Dannenberg,
who directed the operations, was at a short dis
tance from the village with his staff. The loss of
the Russians is estimated at 1200 men killed or
wounded. Almost ail the eheft dt batailion wero
wounded, as well as several ooloncls: the great
majority of the wounds weie made with conical
balls. Prince Gortschakoff has left for Oltenitza.
And the SiecU further ezplnina:—
On the 2d and 8d inst. the Russian General Paul
off endeavored in vain to prevent the Turks from
establishing themselves in advance of Oltenitza,
on tho Wallachian side of the Danube. The
their positions, and caused
the Russians a loss of 600 men, among whom are
18 officers. The position of Oltonitza, situate
about 88 miles from Bucharest, whioh is the basis
of tl-eir operations in Wallachia, appeared so im
portant to the Russian generals, that they resolved
to make a fresh effort to dislodgo the Turkß from
it. Tho attack was recommenced on the 4th, and
continued through part of tho 6th. The Russians
have had 1,200 killed or wounded, and it is stated
as certain that the Ottoman ohasauurs, armed with
the Vincennes carbines, made terrible havoo in
tho ranks of the officers. Almost all the com
manders of oorps have fallen. We will admit that
wo havo no details on tho consequences of this
second ongugement, but there is roason to infer
that the troops of the Bultau have assumoda real
attitude of superiority)
These dateats of the Russian forces t ad to in
crease tho difficulty of any sottlemont whatever of
tho quarrol except at tho point ot the sword, and
by just so much increase the probabilities ot the
other European powers being drawn into it. This
is plainly indicated by the note addressed, ou tho
81st of October, by Count Nesselrode to the Go
vernments of Europe.
It is said (hat on the Russian Ambassador com
municating tho noto yesterday to M. Drouyn
L’Huys, tho French Minister, he added, in the
namo of tho Czar, that if a single English or French
ship should puss into the Blaok Sea, lie should oon
sider it a declaration of war.
The Rußß ; an Minister of Finanoo has promulga
ted a decree laying and embargo on Turkish ves
sels from and afto'r the 22nd of November. Wo
give the important part of the notification
Prompted by feelings of justioe, the Russian Go
vernment, on its part, offers a free exit to the Tur
kish vossols that happen to be in her ports up to
the 10th (22d) of November of thiß year ; further
more, if oveu ufter the expiration of this date, our
cruisers should fall in with Turkish vessels loaded
with goods belonging to the subjects of those
powers with whom Russia is in friendly Inter
course, they will bo permitted to proceed to their
destination unmolested, and their cargoes recog
nized os invio'able if the ships documents prove
thatthey were loaded by the above mentioned date.
Further, as the Porte has not exempted the mer
cantile navy of Russia from the rigorous measures
which are justified by tho rules of war, so our crui
sers also will chase Turkish merchant ships ou the
sea, and in the event of oapturo, the vessels them
selves, as well as their cargoes, will be considered
as rightful sea prizes, although tho cargoes seized
under Turkish flogs may not 1 ,vo been Turkish
property, but belong to a subject of a friendly
power.
To the navigation of merchant Bhipß of neutral
nations, even during warlike operations on the
part of Russia, full ireedom will be allowed. Com
mercial crufc under,uoutral flags will, as heretofore,
be permitted to enter and leave our ports at will.
Boside this, in consequonco of the rupture of that
general intercourse between Odessa aud Constan
tinoplo whioh was carried on by Russian steamers,
our Government, appreciating the importance of
this intercourse to trade in general, has empower
ed tho Company (Lloyd’s) during the war to keep
up this rogular communication between Odessa
and Constantinople by means of steamers, in which
they are at liberty to transport not only passengers
and goods, but also correspondence.
Tbs New Nesselrode Note. —The following is a
full translation of the circular note transmitted by
Count Nosselrode to the diplomatic agents of Rus
sia, an analysis of which has already appeared. The
passage of the Danube by the Turks was not
known at St. Petersburg at tho date of this docu
ment, as some of its expressions suffice to show:
St. Petbrsblro, Oct 19, (Oct. 81 n.s.)
Sir, —Tho efforts which wo have not ceased to
make for the lust eight months for the ai range
ment of our dilfcreuoes with the Ottoman Porte
have, unfortunately, been without effeot to the
preeont day. Nay more, the situation seems to be
come more aggravated eaeh day. While the Empe
ror offerred during his interview with his intimate
friend and uhy, the Emperor Francis Joseph, fresh
facilities to tho Austrian Cabinet to explain the
misunderstanding which attaches to the motives
stated by us for rejecting the modifications which
the Porte desired to introduce in the note drawn
np at Vienna the Porte, yielding, notwithstanding
tho counsols of the European reprentalives at
Constantinople, to the warlike ideaß and the fanat
icism of the Mussulmans, has, as you will have
learned, formally declared war against us.
That rash step has, however, in nowise changed
the pacific disposition of the Emperor. Wo still
do not abandon on that aocount, the resolution
announced from the beginning in tur circular of
the 20th of Juno. At that period his Imperial
Majesty declared that in occupying provisionally
the Principalities as a material security for (be sat
isfaction he demands, ho was unwilling to carry
any further the measures of coercion, but rather
to avoid an offensive war, so long as his dignity
and his iuterests permitted him to do so. At the
present moment, and notwithstanding the fresh
provocation offered to him, tne intentions of my
august muster remain the same.
In possession of the material pledge which the
occupation of the Principalities gives us, though
still roady, in fulfilment of oar promise, to evacu
ate them tho moment that wo obtain satisfaction,
we shall content ourselves with maintaining our
position there, remaining on the defensive so long
as we are not forced to abandon the limits within
which we desire to confine our aotion. Wo will
await the attack of the Turks without taking the
initiative of hostilities. It will then entirely de
pend on other powers not to widen the limits ol
the war, if the Turks persist in waging it against
u., and not to give to it any othor character than
tbat which we moan to leave to it.
After the declaration of war it is not to Russia
that it belongs to sock for new expedients, or to
take the initiative in overtures of conciliation.
But if, when bettor enlightened as to its interests,
the Porte will manifoet a disposition to propose or
to receive similar ovens res, it is not tl o Emperor
who will present any obstacles to their 1 iug taken
into consideration. Such Monsieur, is all that,
for the moment, it is permitted me to inform you
of, in the uncertainty we aro aB to whether the
Ottoman Porto will give immediate effect to the
warlike project it has juet adopted, luform the
Cabinet to which you are accredited of our eventu
al intentions. They furnish an additional proof of
the desire of onr august muster to limit as much as
possible the circlo of hostilities, if they should, un
happily, take plaoe and spare the consequences of
them in the rest of Europe. Receive, <fee.
Nesselrode.
Great Britain.— lt continued to bo generally
circulated that Parliament will be called logother
at an early date. This, however, waa not likely to
be the case, unless yet graver events should arise.
The cholera still prevailed in London, and in
some of the provincial towns. Borne marked

India and China.— We gavo yesterday some
intelligence from Chinareceived by telegraph from
Trieste in advance of tho overland mail. The At
lantic brings ns fuller advices up to the dates men
tioned yesterday from China; from Calcutta to
October 4 ; from Bombay to Ootober 14, and from
Burmah to September 17.
We do not find in the news any confirmation of
the telegraphic report from Trieste to the effect
that the Afigharistans were in negotiation with
Bussia for a joint movement against the English
in the East On the contrary, the only allusion to
the snbject is a report, not credited, that a Russian
army had advanced within ten marches of Oorj
unze, the capital of Kbivah, and that the Khan
of Khivah, and the King of Bhokhara had taken
the field agaimtl the enemy and were already with
in two marches of Oorgunze.
The news from Burmah is gloomy. At Bangoon
and Prome affairs were in a very unsettled condi
tion. Three Burmese chiefs had again taken the
field, having with them about 10,000 men, and were
within four marches of Bangoon, which place they
had resolved upon attacking. The war party at
Ava was believed to be in the ascendant, and the
brother of the King was said to be eolißtiogtroops.
Almost a famine prevailed around Prome, and the
country was overrun with plunderers. It was re
ported that the English force at Bangoon was only
800 men.

J udge Duer rendered a decision this forenoon
in the case of Davis and Palmer vs. the Mayor,
<fco., and the grantees oi the Boad. He is not sat

thatußailroad in Broadway would be a nuisance
or that tho Common Council acted with corrupt

cil had a light to grant. These are the principal
p..in's. Tne decision is that the injunction prohi
biting tho laying of the road, be made perpetual.
