came to the ditch, which ii here about fi'teen feet
deep. Toe party dela ted for the purpose piacod
the ladders, but they were found to bo wo short.
However, tad there been enough of them, that
would n>t fcavo mattered much, but Borne had
been left behind it the hands of dead cr wounded
men, and others had been broken, so that if one
c»q credit the etatemcLU made by the bo who were
pre-ent, there were not more than six or sevfta
ladders at the salient. The men led by their oili
cera leaped into the ditch and scrambled up the
other s.de, whence they got up the parapet almort
without opposition, for the few Bxisiaas who were
in front rau ba k and got behind their traverses
breast works as t-oon as the? saw our men on
the top, aud opeoed fire upon them.

Tte small party cf the 90tb, much diminished,
weut on gallantly towards the brea (work, but
the/ were too Weak to force it, and they had tc re
tire ond g t behind the traverses, where men of
different regiments had already congregated, acd
were keeping up a brisk fire on the Russians,
whose heads were just visible above the
work. Simullaneously with the head of the

the B&iien.on the proper left face of the Redan,
but iu spite of all his exertions, could do little

and of the supporring regiments.
As the Light Division rushed out in tho front, ,
they were swept by the guns of the Barrack Batte

Windham, and at tbe seme moment Kill‘any *nd
Cornellis wore oth wounded. The latter Haims

Ir.-t of hm divi ion who entered tho R.-daii.
Ra ining para !od to the faces ot tho Redan there
s, as 1 have de cnbed, an inner parapet intended
to shield the gunners at the embrasures from the
effae's of a iy shell which niiuht ta 1 into the body
ot ihe work, and striko them down it this hign
bank were not there to protect them from ihe
splinters. Several cu bin the of the embra
sure- pjrmrUed the m*n to retire in caso of neod
inside, and very strong and high traverses ran all
along tbe sides of tne work itself to afford them
aiditionsi hf el'er. At the base of tho Roian,
before tho re entering angles, is a breastwork, or,
rather, a parapet with an irregul*r curve, up to a
man’s neck, which runs in front of tho b dy of
the plcci. As our men entered through the o n
bra ures, the few Russians who wero between the
salient and this breastwork retreated behind the
latter, and got from tho traverses to its protection.
From it they poured iu a q .ick fire on the parapet
of tho salient, wh ch was crowded by the men of
tho L ght Division, and ou tho gups through the
inner parapet of the Redan, and our men, with an
infatuation which all officers d plore, but cannot
a ways remedy on :-uch occisious, began to return
the tiro of the enemy withoat ad vane: ng or crossing
behind tho traverses, loaded and fired as q uckly
os they could, bn*, ai J but little execution as tho
Russians wore well covered by the breastwork.
There ware also groups of Russian riflemen bi
hind the lower travel s near tho base of the Re
dun, who kept up a galling lire on our men. As
tho alarm of an was spread tho enemy came
rushing up fr< m the barracks in rear of the Redan,
and increased tiie f >rce and intensity of their fire,
while our soldiers dropped fast an encouraged tho
Russians by their immob lily and the weakness ot
thoir fusillade, frern which the enemy wore well
protected. In vain the cllhors, by voice and act
by example aud daring, tried to urge our soldiers
ou. They had an impression that the Redan was
ail mined, and that if they advanced they would
all oo blown up, but many of them acted as be
came tbe men ut Alma end Inkenn&a, and ru.-hing
to tho front, wore swept down by the euemy’a fire,
ihe officers fell on all tides, singled out for tho
enemy’s tire by their courage. Tho men of the
cfiffjrent regiments became minglod together in
incxtiiciblo contusion. The 18 h men did notca'o
for the orders of the eifleera. el tho 83th, nor d d
t'to soldiers of tho 23d heed the commands of an
oflicjr who did not belong to their regiment.
Supports Needed and Delayed—The effivors
could not find the r men—the nun had lost sight
of their own officers. All the Brigadiers, save
Oclonel Windham, were wounded or rendered
unfit for tho xuard.anco of the attack. That gal
Unt effijor did all thut man could do to form nis
men for the attack, ai d to lead thim against tho
enemy. I'rccecdmg from travorso to traverse, he
coaxed the in m to come out, and succeeded sever
ai times iu toiming a few of them, but they melted
’ away as fast as lie lai 1 ho.d of them, aud either
tell in their liUae ranks or retired to cover up
their fusillade. Many cf them crowded to lower
| parts ot tho inner parapet and kept up a smart nro

of the Redan, while learly the same scene wa*

only to increa?o tho contusiou and carnage.
Finding that ho could not coltcct any nuu on the
tell face, Colonel Windham passed through one ol
ihe cuts ot tno innor parapet and walked over to
ihe right ficoatthe distance ot 3) yards f*om the
Ru'aian breastworks, to which he moved in a par
a lei lino, exposed to a close liro, hut wonderful to
say, without being touched. When ho got behind
the innor parapet at tho r ght face he found t‘ e
same state ot things as that which ex's ed a* the
est. The moo wero behind tho traverses, firing
away at tho Raesiuns or bkx.t’g at them from tho
bn k3D purls of tho front, and tho soldiers who
down from tho salient in front only got
behind theso wotks for cover while they loaded
aud tired at ti o enemy. The Golpsel got some riflj
1 men tnl a few men of the 83th together, but no
soon r had he brought them out than they wo o
killed, wounded, or dispersed by a conccntra'.ed
*i»o. Tho ofFoirs, with the noblest devotion,
Colonel Wiudt.a’u, acd becime tbospo ial marks
of t‘:o enemy’s r llomen. Tho nairow nock of the
.-alient was too close to allow of uny kind of for
tnaiion, and the more the men crowded into it the
more they got out of order, and tr.o more they
suffered irom the enemy’s firo. This miserable
wi*ik lasted lor au hour The R issians wore now
iu donee masses behind the brtadwoik, and Colo
nel Windham walked back again across the open
space to ihe loft to make one more attempt to re
trieve the d y. The men on the parapet ol tho
-a ient, who wero firing at tho Russians, ssnt tho ; r
shot about him ana the latter who were pouiing vol
ley after volley on all points of the lead of tho WDrk
likewise directed thoir musketi against him, but h)
passed through this cross lire in safety, and got
within tbe innor parapet ou the left, where the
moil were becoming thiunerand thinner. A Rus
sian. officer now stepped over tho breastwork aud
toro down a gabion with his own hands; It was to
make room for a field piece. Colonel Wmdham
cxclainnd to several soldiers who wore firing over
the paropet, “ Well as you areso fond of firing,
why don’t you shcot that Russian 1’ They fired a
vohey eud Inissed him, and soon afterwards the
field piece begun to play on the bead ot thesolifijt
with grape. Colouel Wiudham saw there was no
t mote be lost. Ho had sent three tfficers for
raiutorcoments, and above all, for men informa
tion and he now resolved to go to General Cor
9l'th, near h m bnsy in occcuragiiig his men, and
exertirg h»njseif with g r ea* courage >nd ener
gy to got them into order, lx* said : —r“l most go to
the geueral lor supports. Now mind, lot it bo
known, in case I am killed, why I went awav.”
Ho oroseed a p*i'Hpet and ditch and soc jeodod
in gaining the fifth parallel thiorgh a storm of
grane and *;tii bullets in saiety. Sir. Edward
C dringtoD u>ked him if he thorght ho really
crniid do anything with such supports fs he c u!d
afford, aud ha d ho might take tho Royals who
wore tr.en iu tho parallel. “Lst tho officers come
out m front—let us advance in order, aud if the
men k *ep their formation the Redan is onre,’'
the Colonel’s reply bu no spoke to 4 tie —for at
that very moment our t-cu were seen leaping down
into tho ditch, or tunning down th* parapet of
tho salient* and through the embraeure out of the
work n tc the ditch, w&ile tho Russians followed
them wi h their bayonets aud with heavy musket
ry, :.nd enu tnrew s'cnvs and grapo-jhot at them
as they 'ay in the ditch.
The lUdan I/st—The fact was that theK is
sitrift having accumulate*! several lhou7S.n*ls oi
nun behind the breastwork, aad seeing our men
all scattered np and confuted behind ibo inner
parapet «f tbe traverse, crossed the 1-reastwotk,
width tio’d pieces were now p’ay
inj with grape on the inner face of the R3dan,and
charg d our broken groups with the bayonet, at
ibe same time that tho rear ranks, getting on tho ‘
oreastwerk, ponred a heavy ha I of fcu Ictsouihem
over the heads of tho aavarc'ng to:umn. The
strung e that took place was shot, desperate, and
bloody. Our soldiers taken at every disadvantage,
met trre enemy wi.h the too, er*d i»*fiatod
combats took place in which the brave fellow- who
stood th‘ir groaudbtfl to defend then selves
against three or four adversaries at once. In this
fMi*« the officers armed on y with their swords,
had little chance ; nor had those who curried pis
tols, much opportuni y of using them in such a
rapid contest. They fell like heroes, and many a
ga lant soldi«r with them. The bodies of English
BnJ Russians inside the Rsdan, icck:d in rn em
•brace which dea h cculd l.ot relax, but had rather
'e men ted all the closer, lay next day inside the
Redan us evidences of the terrible animosity es
th» straggle. Bat the sol d wfight of the advanc
irg mass,” urged on, and fed e&cfi moment f r cm
the rear by comrany a/ e* ccnapany and battalion
after battalion, prevailed at as: against tbei-ola
I ted aud disjointed band, who had abandoned the
* protection of uuaa mityof courage end had Ics*
[- e adviiHogcs of discipline aad obedience. As
I ihough some gißßt rock bad advanced into the ?ea
! ..nd t-roea back tbe wstare that buff ted :t, so £!J
j toe Rn-oian c lumus press down against the spr-y
of the soldiery which fretted their edge witu fire
and steel and contended in vain against their
weight. The straggling band was forced back by
the enemy, who moved on crushing friend-acd foe
i> noath their sclid tramp, and, h eeding, prnting
and exhausted, our men lay iu heaps in tLe ditch
beneath the parapet, sheiiero themrdves behind
e* n»‘-3 and :n bomb in the slo;e of the
wo k, or tried to pass back to oar advanced parti
c* and sap, and had to ran the gauntlet of i-. tre
mendous fire, lutny ct them »ost their lives or
were seriously wonnded ia the attempt. The
>c«ue ia the diteh wsa tpptQlirg, some of *»be offi
ccrs xesared me that they and the men wero
’aoghieg at the with which many
bravo aad griiaot feiiows d*d not hesitate from
p cugiDg htadiong upon the mst-s cf bftyccets,
muskets and sprawling so diors—the ladders were
a: kcoeked down or orcken, so that it wls diffi
cult for the nicu to get up at the other aide, and
the dead, tbe dying, tha wounded, and the soaed
were- i lying in neaps toge. her. Tee Ru-ianscame i
out of the embrasure.-, plied them with i
*r»if c shot, and the bajene*, bat were scon forced *
•o reiire by the fire of our batteries and r fiemen, ]
ar.d uLder this fire many of our men 1
e-caped to tbe apprcache?. In somo instarc:* tbe <
enemy persis»e«i in remaining oatstdo in order to t
plunder the bodies of these who were lyi;.g on the *

rn - uv‘B 'u ben gs' *c:cb> d be»i e thei * tees : but r
otb«r* * rone or a hoi er errant and actually f
brought to our wounded. *
If ti is last act be true, it ia but right to discredit (
the a*ory that the Rusm .cs plac d our wounded i
over the magazines in the rear of the Peaec, near «*
tho barrack battery, ire they fired it —the only 1
foundation for which, as far as I can di.cover, in f
thtt m&ny o! the bodies of t od, found in the Re
dan, were dresdfYrly eoorched a*?d buret; but
there were many Russian* ly i'g there in & similar
->tat*. Genera! f'b>erved the failnre of
on r attack from th? of the Ma aVhiff, sad tent
over »o Genera’ birr r>*on to ssk if ha intended to
uttack egaki. The E glish Commander in Chief
is report© 1 to bnvo replied that he did not then feel
in a condition to do so. All this time the Guards
and H ghlanuere, tho Thiid and Fourth Divia.ons,
and moa: of t< o reserves were un ouched. They
could, icdoed, have famished materials for an
other assault, but the suheequent movements of
the Russians render it doubttul whether the g»ory
of carrying the Redan, and cf redeeming the
credit of oar arms, would not have been dearly
purchased by the etfudou of more valuable blood.
Art soon as we abandoned the assault, the firing
vlmo>t ceased along our front, bat in the rear of
i the Maiakhclf there was a fierce contest going on
between masses cf Russians, now released from
the Redan, or drawn from the town, and the
French, iuaide tha work, a- d the fight lor the Lit
tle Redan, on the proper left of the Maiakhoff, was
raging furiously. Cicuis ot smoko and duet cov
ered the scene, but the rattle of musketry was in
cesaant, and belokmed the severe nature of Ihu
stregg'e below. Through the breaks in the smoke
there could be seen now and theu a tricolor, sur
luouated by an eagle, fluttering bravely #ver the
inner parapet of the Mslakh If. The sterm of
ba’tle rolled fiercely round it, and beat against it;
nut it was sustained by strong arms and stout
hearts, and all the amanita of the enemy were di
rected in vain against it. We could see, Iso, our
noble aides swarmiDg over into the Malakhafi from
their splendid approaches to it from the Mamelon,
or rasning with swift step towards the right,
where the Racisms continually reinforced, sought
in vu'.u to boat back their foes and to regain tte
key of their position. The struggle wa.v full of
interest to us all, tut its is«na was never"doubted.
It would be untrue to say that the resmt of our
ss-ault Was not the source of deep grief and mor
ifeuion ton®, which ail the gloriors suce sees of
ocr allies could nit wholly alleviate. Eves those
who thought any attack on the Re tan useless and
unwise, inasmuch B3tbe possession of the Maiak
hoff would, in tbeir opinion, render the Redan
untenable, could not but regret bitterly that, as

The Interior cf Sevastopol.
[From an Eyt JVinees.]
Sevastopol, September 14.
For t he last t?. o days 1 have pi ssed several hours
each day in riding ovor tho whole of the city and
batteries. Sevastopol, as you know, is divided
into two parts by the Dockyard Creek. The city
(properly so called) is very largo: its houses,
public buildings, and churches were for the most
part nearly now, very huidsome, and built of a
clean white steno. They are nowall crnmbliDg,
smoking ruins. Tho streets were wide and p!ant
oi with trees. Its forts—large case-mated build
ings, const ruo r e i lor three t ers of guns facing the
entrance cf the haroor—were al«o very handsome
and solid, but are now also in ashes.
Cki the other sido of tho Docayard Creek (sepa
rated from the city) the public bnildings, dock?,
quays, and basins dio on a scale of s' ill greater
mugn fi.’CDoe. These buildings, although much
ahat«ered by our shell?, are still standing, the ene
my having, I believo, failed to expioae a mine
under thfem, owing to their hurried departure.
Hero were collected vast scores of clothing and
other military material?.
A> an instance of the frightful loss the Bnesians
must have sustained in men during the last bom
bardment and assault, I mty mention that one el
these \a?t range of buildings proved to have been
an hospital. O i entering it our people found about
1,000 dead bodies lying in their beds 1 The horror
o; th ; s scene far exceeds any I have over witness
ed. They were evidently the bodies of men who
had been brought down from the batteries as they
fell wounded, but bo iapid must have been the
accumulation that the m dical men were over
powered with numbers, and thus these poor
c eatures were unheeded, left in their bens to die.
Mil y must have been dead for day?, and, horrible
to reiate, among them a tow were found still alive 1
This number, of course, excludes the hundreds
tui thousaeds who were found lying in a l parts
pf tho works alter the assault. I cannot help
fiebng a pry for the enemy now in their discom
fiture, and admiring them for their heroism iu
defending their much beloved cit . I have heard
that a Kuf-dan offi or (a prisoner) said, **l( our
men ouly knew Low to fight as they know how to
die, they would be the finest troops m the world 1”
Around the -great builciogs on tho eastern side
of the Docky mi Creek was a town of small houses,
called tho Kartbeluaia suburb, onca probably
occupied by a-tisana and mechanic-. Such is a
c fcort and hurried i cconnt of the general features
and appearance of the city.
I will now g : ve you jodib description of the
works which were thrown up for its defence. They
a r o all on the same plan—an earthen rampart of
am* z rg tb cknees, rivited with gabions and fas
cines ; a ditch cut out of the earth—which, being
rocky, steed at a high angle—about 20 feet eep,
and even more, at the most vulnerable points.
l?isi !q v ceo work* the enemy, having had plenty
oft m>tc work, and knowing the feuifal effect of
our ’.o'lictlrre irem mortars, had eonstrnc'ed
numerous and thick ireverses, and under these
traverses were largo bomb-proofs, some nerd as
roegsrines, the re-tas dwe.lmg bouses for tbs da
teudcr«; in feet, all along, inside tbe terre plein of
tbs work, were deep bo.es in which their men
could find shelter. These bombproofc were most
solidly constructed, scmetiuits of masonry, but
chiefly of large beams (taken from tbe wrecks of
their ships,) and covered with earth. Snch was
tbe gonoral na nre of their works. Their guns
were of Lesvy calibre, and the gunners were per
fectly she tered Irom musketry by rope mantlet*.
But the Russians did not stop here. As soun as
they found that any point in particular was
threatened by the advance of our sap they ionme
drat- !y commenced a eecond and inner line of
works a! tnat point. The second line was equally
well me 'e, and mounted with small carrouades
and sis d guns. At the Bastion dn Mat, which
jonwill remember was long the point to whio'i
the French directed their attention, there were no
le.-s than four linos of these inner woite, one
j b»hrnd the other. This will give you some slight
! duaoi the perseverance aul amivity of the enemy
in . nticipaling and prow-ding against an attack on
any padieß'ar point. The circuit of these works
is e'Vmecs, md I fancy trey bad always about
| do.OOff men or mere reedy to defend them. When
you consider that when we fl'st arrived hardly a
vesrige of any of these works existed, yon will
eonstder they cceerve still mere crodit tor their
exertions.
The general plan of these works was s series of
redans (With indented flasks.) open at the gorge.
Tbev only deviated from their plan in cue in
s'aiice, and it wss, in my op.airm, their rqin,—l
mean at the Maiakbelf works. So anx ous were
1 tbev about th-s spot, and so feerfni of its being
I turned and taken -by the rear, that they made here
I an enclosed work with a ditch all round of 20 loot,
i N ow. in tn= first plr.es, tbe whole of 'he interior
of the work became by these means so encumber
ed With traverses that there was little room to
| couctntiate la-ge masses of tr ofe. in addition to
wh en you wid percales that, if oicj trkeo, it oe
c.me a c tadei for tbe erp'crs, and so it proved.
I will now proceed to give yon a short account
of the generai assault of the place. It was order
ed to be attempted at font points—the Medan du
(irwwp-n Miiaki-oflF, lirert Redan, and ,(on lie
town si< it) the Satteen On rale The Medan du
Giraurge » a* attacked w.tn immense firca by the
b:arch : they got in, bat in spite of all their ef
icris, the second line of intreLehmant storped
them and they fciled. The Greet Redan had been
so terribly pounded by car artillery that the ram
pens h-ac crumbled away info the ditch, and partly
filled i‘. Ii was n~t very difficult to get in, and j
our men did it easily; but, ones there, thej loon I |

off SewMlopot, Outsd September 10.
Yesterday I weDt all over Sevastopol, entering
on the extreme left (French), and steered right
through the toon, and up to tne Etdin (Rnglisr):
in laudirg we came to the French advance battery,
right opposite Constantine, which, by the by, is
extremely jealous, fer she l«t fly three or soar
shells right across ns. On leaving we went
across the open ground for the Quarantine Harbor,
and then on the advauee tre after
j imping over about five or six trenches in the rear,
i’ce vast magnitude of these is wonderful; what
with magazines on* ot namber, ani exceedingly
well built trenches, for th« cover of soldiers, the
work must have been laborious. Here the ground
was as much composed of shot and broken shell,
Mm.e bullets innumeratlsi &-'•» R was *of loose
stones. We wooded our way through the ad
vaLced trenehes and towards the Basaian r.fil
pits; and on is3aing irom the JKrenoh trench, we
came on the Bnrail advanced riar pita; capab.e of
holding, perhapb, four riflemen. Then we crossed
into the advancod Kuaaian battery, now in
the magaz ne being flown this we hadjto
Beale an immense baston. liore we looked down
on the top of the immensely strong and closely
bnilt embrasures. The gacs were spiked with
good sized nails j and this was full of French shot
aid shell. We then entered the town; bat I
mast first tell yon that on the right of this im
mense bastion, or battery, commenced the. wail—
0* great strength; and at each angle sweeping the
face ot this last described bastion, were two heavy
guns ioaded with gra; e, to enfilade and keep in
check any attempts tv storm by infantry: this
place was never attempted.
To continue: W .isd the town, and here '*

up tor gab:om that tbry took the ship.’ tanks out,
and Ailed them with ctrth instead. Thus, when
we got into the Kjdac, they met oar eyes. Tho
ins'do of the Ksdan was a place indeed worth
seeing. The artillery had cat up the ground all

Ocr Relations with Denmark. —We extract
from tho Providence Journal of Monday the fol
lowing acceptable intelligence, which confirms the
opinion we entertained and expressed, several
weeks ago, on the sut jact to which it relatos. The
Journal is a valuable and cautious paper that
would not give curremy to any statement in
which it did not place tne fullest confidence:—
national Intslligencer.
“ We are happy to be able to state, on the most
reliable authority, that measures are in progress
by the United States Government which will put
to rest all tears of any collision with Denmark
growing oit of our refusal to submit longer to the
Sound dues. A messenger is on the way, if not
already in Danmark, charged with important de
spatches to our representative at Copenhagen, di
recting him to enter into negotiations anew in re
gard to these taxes. Ol course nothing is known
us to the instructions he takes tothe United States
Charge d’Affaires. there. It is sufficient, however,
to bta e that our Government has no desire to force
a friendly Power, situated as Denmark is at the
preseut time, into any hrs'y measures which may
compel her to appeal to either of the present belli
gerent nations for the defence cf s system of texi
tion oncommeici which is her chief source of re
venm-. It won dbe undignified in s great nation
like the United States to resort o hostile measures
which would tend to embroil a weak Power like
Denmark in tho struggle now going on in Europe,
which m ; ght result in her overthrow. It is a w.se
measure, therefore, in the Secretary of State to
sottle this difficulty amicably; and, if Denmark is
unprepared at present to concede ariy thing, there
would be no sacrifice to rxtsnd our present com
mercial treaiy for a couple of years, by which time
the contest now going on may have subsided.”
The New York Cimmereial Advert iter, opiee
the above and adds: We confess that we cannot
see this matter in exactly the same light as cut
Providence frien'. If our cause is just, as we
believe it to be, we can see no wisdom in post,
pacing its adjustment until “either of the present
belligerent nations” is at liberty to respond to
Danmark’s appeal for aid in maintaining the un
just impost. There may be excessive generosity
in such s measure on the part of the United States
Government, bnt precicu* little wisdom or states

WEDNESDAY MORSISO. OCT’B- 17. 1885.
Mr. Supteu-OimU.
Tux communication ot the Hon. A. H. Stxxhens,
in the Cjiut.t utimalut of yesterday, requires a
brief reply from us.
The allusion to, and the introduction of his name,
in the connection referred to by him, was made
under the influence of an cxcitemant consequent
upon what we regarded then and now, a moat
flagrant and unprovoked assault. Subsequent
reflection, however, eonviceed us of the impro
pro riety of thus alluding to him, and it la but
just to say, we do not regret the opportunity thus
afforded to place ourself right in the matter.
A few words in reference to his being charged
for the publication of his communications and
speeches in this peps;, and we have done.
The highest poesib'e evidence of the misappre
hension of Mr. S. is afforded in the fae‘, that uo
such charge has ever been made against him, while
he was regularly charged for atl those published in
handbill or pamphlet form. Mr. Stithexs says
that “we must have known that ho understood ho
was to pay, as iu every note accompanying a com
munication, he directed us to 'charyt to hi* ac
count,' or to ‘ehargt a* usual.' ” So far from know
ing from this fact that he labored under enah a
misapprehension, we regarded these remarks in
his notes as evidence of his continued desire aud
wish, as previously expressed, to psy for their
publication. Bat when his note of the 17th Sept.,
accompanying his reply to Judge Nisbxt, was re
ceived, in which he said : “As I pay my way, 1
hope my articles wil not be delayed;’’ we were
theu satisfied that he was under that impression,
and the morning after we heard at n-gl.i of .his J
return borne from Odumbia court, on the gist, J
we wrote him, intoim rg him of bis error. 'When j
fce spoke to us of p*ying “Ale bill" oither then cr I
after the election, of course our reply, that aftm I
the election would do, on’y referred to what hau i
been charged to him, aud could have had no pos- |

Ws have devoted much of oar space to-d»y to
the very interesting acconut given by the corres
pondent of the London Times of the storming of
Sevastopol, from which we have made o.ipioua ex
trace. Tho Baltimore American in speaking of
this correspondence sa <s: The account of the
English attack on the Kedan is peculiarly
thrilling. After the assaulting column had en
countered a terrible Are of grape, they were
compelled to descend into the trench and
scale a steep escarp before they reaohed the
Redan. When this had been accomplished
ihoy wore still under a shower of balls
from a hidden enemy, and the panic-stricken sol
diers did not follow -p their advantage, the sol
diers lost all commend of their men, and tbo differ;
eat regiments thrown into confusion, were literal
ly massacred, when retreat became necessary.
The correspondent of the Tim os also furnishes
us with a thrilling pioture of subsequent appalling
auenes and incidents—the blowing up of fort*—
the burning and sinking of the ships—the destruc
tion of tho city—the retreat of the Russians—and
tho rppearance of Sevastopol after its fatal bom
bardment. As a narrative of thrilling excitement
it has scarcely been equalled and will be read with
the most absorbing interest.
Mast Bead or Not Vote.
On Monday of last week the People of Connecti
cut wore required to express thoir opinions at tho
polls upon the adoption of tho following proposi
, tion as an amendm-nt to the Constitution of that
! State, viz:
“That every person shall be able to road any
’ article of tho Constitution, or any section of the
‘ statutes of the State, before being admitted as an
elector.”
> The amendment was adopted by a large majority,
1 which is altogether the moßt sensible thing we
j have known the people of a New England State to
i do for a long time. N o man should be allowed to
1 vote who is unable to read. Such a law would
doubtless, as first, exclude some very worthy
• men— men cf sound prootical sense; bnt that evil
would be greatly oveibalanosd by the thousands
of Btupid, ignorant oreatures it would exolude,
j who aro now led up to the polls by demagogues,
like sheep to the slaughter. Nor would the ob
-1 jection, that in some few instanoes worthy men
' would be excluded, be of long duration, for all
! such would learn to read in a very short time, and
! thus remove the disability,
j The New Haven Palladium, in announcing the
result of the vote, remarks:
“This is a glorious result, indeed, but ono that
i ought to have been looked for in so intelligent a
1 State as Conneticut. The constitution would

and appealed to the lowest prejudices of the igno
rant lo defeat the measure. Tnanks, however,
to the intelligent patriotic people for their noble
eff itts to save the State from the power of nnecru
pulons partisans and their ignorant dupes I Es
pecial thanks are due to the conservative portion
i ot the Democratic party. The vote on the amend
ment shows that there are some things which the
leaders cannot be allowed to do without at least
a qniet rebuke. Sack a rebuke they have received
all over the State.
i If a Republican Government is the expression of
the people’s will, then this constitutional amend
i uient is right; for without it, our laws would only
express the will of a few leaders, who give effect
to their purposes by leading up to the polls those
who are as incapable of jndgingnpon the menand
measures voted lor as little children. Snob a Gov
ernment, though republican in name, is in reality
one of the worst kinds of aristocracy ; for it has
neither the property nor ts e talent of most of the
oristtoracies of other days and conntries to check
' its rapacity or make it tolerable.
“l'he hostility to the meat-lire was most indefat
igable and inveterate, bat in vain. Connecticnt
has most nobly acquit ed herself of this grand is
sue. The amendment cannot be repealed, except
in the way it was adopted ; that is, it must be ap-
f roved by one Legislature and two thirds of each
louse of the next succeeding and then by a ma
jority of the votes of tho poople. This will not be
done in a great while, probably never.

From the developments recently made among

Go in, gentlemen 1
The two indictments returned by the Grand
Jury at Oyer and Terminer yesterday were—as to
one of them—against Judge Stuart, City Judge,
(one of the Judges of the Court of Sessions,)
charging that an indictment had been found by a
Grand Jury against William Cosgrove, burglary,
who could not be found in order to be arrested;
and that said Sidney A. Btnart (Judge made an
arrangement with Margaret M.C., the wife of said
Cosgrove, by which tbe sum of (506 was paid to
him by said Margaret, with the understanding that
said Sidney A. Stuart would exercise bis ißfinence
and position as a Judge of the Sessions aforesaid
to cause the Dis 1 riot Attorney to enter a nolle
proeequi (dhm as the indictment) in the ease, and
that he subeequently, by salsa statements, pro
cured the District-Attorney so to enter a nolle
prosequi.
Tbe other indictment is egainst Judge Stuart
and George Elder, a police officer, charging a con
spiracy between them to procure the District At
torney to keep back an indictment which had been
found against Chariee Raphael. Tbe said Elder
received for himself and said Jndge 8., from said
Raphael, the sum of (100, and the District Attor
ney was induced by false pretecoea to keep back
said indictment.
The charges are denied. The accused gave bail

The Pieres Democracy of New York.
Tax following artie'e from the Albany (New
York) Atlas, is worthy of the calm and dispassion
ate consideration of Southern men. The Atlas is
tha organ of the Pisncx .Democrats at the capitol
of Now York—it is the paper upon which the Ad
ministration at Washington bestows thonsands
and thousands of dollars worth of Government
patron»ge. These faots give an importance to the
artiole and its sentiments which they could not
otherwia) possess. In it the principle is bclJly
avowed that "Dsmceracy (aye national Democracy)
and Preesoilism are identical," and that “the
popular heart qfthe Northern Democracy beats more
soundly and in unison tci:h this great principle than
any other political organisation .”
We commend these sentiments especially to the
Georgia Democracy, who have resolved that the
“National Pemccracy is the only party atthe North
with which the Booth cat consistently unite."
But to the article—read U, people of Georgia, and
form your own oonclasions. If, after such an ex
posure, from a leading organ of the party, in the
great State of New York, you are led into an aflilia

Siavbbt and Fjhib:m-thk Position ox Dxm
oeazn.— to many persona in onr ommunity it is
an ocoasion for surprise that whilst the citisena of
the southern Btatea are so thoroughly united iu
defenoe of Slavery, and so keenly alive to what
ever measures may promise its extension, there
should be bo much disoordance amongst northern
men as to the action by which this approbrium to
our age and nation should be limited in its pro
gress. This wonderment will be somewhat abated
by the reflation that to the slaveholding portion
of the confederacy the subject is one whiob in
volves not only personal comforts and social agrsn
disement, but alao va-t pecuniary interests; as
well as to those who stand in tha immediate relation
ship of masters and mistresses, as to all the classes
of society deoendant upon the produoing interests
for tho gain* by wuien they subsist. Whilst,)
therefore Bluer' is in this respect a personal, ab
sorbing, act.ve principle, stimulating its adherents
by the sleepless vigilsnoe which gras*, pecuniary
j interests ever superinduce, the poople ot the free
j slates have nosoei: imperative and over-operative
! oic iveto drive tnerr into a concentration of action
I in reference to this subject. With u? after ail the
matter is in no small degree theoretic, and though
! the principle be ur portent, and the consequences
' resulting therefrom of great moment to ir.dividnals
j aud society, it does not appeal to us with the same
I stimulating urgency which pertains to monetary
l interests iu which wo nave an individual conoern.
fLore are none of ua wnu fear subjection to the
lash of the task-mas'er ; end though we feel for
the wrongs inflicted upon humanity, and would
tain limit them to regiooo already cursed with
Afriom servitude, wo do not feel the evil so near
ss to cause us to lay aside all d.fferencee of opiniou
upon olhor topics, and address ourselves to the
extinction of this great wrong, regardless of other
consequenoes. Not that the people ot the North
differ materially in their estimation of the “peculiar
institution,” or the measuroa necessary to resist its
encroachments; but tney seem not s yet to have
regarded tne danger as sufficiently imminent or
momentous to obliterate their esteem for tho
political associations with which they have hitherto
been connected, or the men with whom they have
hitherto acted in reference to other measures of
government. That the subject is daily becoming
of more absorbing interest, ia too painfully obvi
ous; nevertheless it will require some new act of
fatuity on the part of the Government —some fresh
outrages by the votaries of tho lash before the
North can be banded together in that strong and
universal sympathy which so'.natee all the move
ments of the slave oligaroby,
But in the expression of this opinion we have
no intention of oalling in q leation the honesty or
sinoerity of any Democrat who may deem that an
exigency has already arisen oalling for the sacri
floe of life long politioal relations. Webelieve that
the rrinciples <j freedom and Democracy are , and 1 f
right ought to be, identical— that in to far as the tat ■
ter falls short ts a full and complete ident fication
tpith and advocacy of the great d ■c'.rine of human
eights, it falls sh-ertofit* true mission—that ts its
princip es have been departed from and its glory
trailed iu the dost by incompetent or designing
men, the remedy consists, not in an entire nega
tion of all other interests and an abandonment of
the Democratic party, but in calling it back to duty
by an appeal to the honest masses, by a revolution
in its aot/ion, and the dismissal of those who have
betrayed its true interest. IK* believe that the pop
ular heart of the Demoe-atio party of the North beats
more friendly and in unison with this great prince •
pie, than any other political organisation', and
though timid men in representative stations may
i have failed lo givo full utterance to the feelings
whiob aotuato the masses, and,venal individnals
may have combined to stifle its expression lest the
mattering of discontent should full, unpleasantly
upon the ears of those in power, yet there can be
no doubt that the future affords room and verge
i enough to righten these wrongs, and give to Demo
, oratic principles tbeir true proportion and just
bearing in the government, without departing
from the time honored usages and associations by
which those principles can best be carried into
fruition. It may be that the rod of correction and
discipline is essential to its purification and more
efficient action, but whilst we hold that
“Earth hts no sod,
Its Maker meant a uou,d not be trod
By man, the image of his God,
Erect and Free
so also do ws believe that the Democratic party is best
designed to minister to the preservation cf those great
principles of hum en Freedom ( Freeeoilism ) on which
our instigations are bared, and an the perpetuity and
spread of which that parly accomplishes its legiti
mate mission, and subserves th* highest honor of the
country.

Stale Bo.d-Freight..
The Chattanooga Advei tiur of the lJih inst.,
says: The amount of freight offering to the Wes
tern and Atlantio Baiiroad is unusually large at
this season. Since July Ist, the quantity of wheat
alone surpasses all former experience, and at this
day there seems to be no abatement. The great
trouble ever existing with this road has been a
lack of rolling stock, and now, more than ever, is
t he public suffering in consequence of the delay.—
For many weekr, the ea>s ot tho N. & C. B. B.
have stood on the aide track to the number of 100
to 120 oars, mostly tilled of wheat. This number
of cars taken from the latter road greatly impeded
thair facilities cf transportation, and ia self-de
fence, tho agent, Judge Hooke, began to store the
whoat to recover the use of the cars. At this time
we learn that about 181 car-loads of wheat have
been stored here in warehouses near the depot,
also some 60 cars are now on the tracks waiting
the transhipment. From this statement it will be
seen there ia a great insufficiency of rolling Block
on the W. & A. R. R. while we have but just en
tered the fall trade. The Corn crop is nnusuelly
large, while the cotton of Alabama and Tennessee
has not presented as yet.
Those doing business over the W. A A. B. R.
will readily understand why there ie a delay in re

Mubdxs AND Boioznz ITA &LAVB ABDUCTOR.—
The Richmond Dispatch of Monday rays : Last
week, in this city, one of thoee menwheee voeation
is to abduct slaves from their masters, and send
them to free States, murdered a slave, and after
being arrested committed suicide.
The selfishness and brutality of thiaman afford
a specimen ot tha mercenary and diabolical char
acters of the agents of the Underground Railroad.
The lile of the poor slave he had undertaken to
abduct was not considered as valuable as the
wateh. money end olothing upon him, and to ob
tain these, it appears, he killed him 1 There is no
telling bat that others who have disappeared,
alter having robbed their masters, may have
shared a similar fate—who oan say that maDy may
not have been aunk to the bottom of the sea, as at
once the easiest mode of geiting rid of them, and
getting whatever that was valuable there may
have been in their possession I This chapter in
tha history of the Underground ia highly instruc
tive. It ie indeed passing strange that a slave
should leave the protection and service of a good
kind master, and put himself in the hands ofsneh
demons, when even if he should escape safely
through them, he ia to be at the mercy of a people
having no sympathy with him, and exposed to the
rigors of a climate for which by nature he is entire
ly unsuited.

Mr Dear Sir:—l have this moment received
intormation that they are circulating a charge
against me that I made a pTO slavery spoeeh at
Weaport, in Missouri, on my way hore. There is
not a word of truth in this charge—it is wholly
false. In the few remarlts I made at Westport in
reply to tbo welcome they gave me, I said noth
ing on the subject of slavery; ou tho contrary, I
remarked that that wbb a question that 1 would not
discuss. Since I came here, on all occasions, I
have left that question where the Kansas bill loaves
it—to tho people to determine lor themselves—
and I have on ail occasions so stated. Thia report,
no doubt, is put in circulation to affect the elec

give it, as coming from me, a prompt coLtradic
tiu.
Tho Kansas Herald of the 221, a strong pro

Kailroad Collision.— We are informed by on
officer of the Central Kailroad, that a collision oo
carred at Ibe seventeen mile post above the city,
yesterday morning, between tbe descending pas
senger tram and u lumber trait). The passenger
train wan benind time, and running about twenty
miles to the hour, when, in a curve, it came sud
denly upon tbe other, without a possibility of
takiDg np in time to prevent a collision, notwith
Btandirg tbe engineer on the lumber train bad
reverse d his engine and started beckwatd. Though
the concussion was severe, no Uvob were loßt, nor
was any Berions injury inflicted upon the passen
gets or handß of either train. Three freight curs
of the passenger train, and three nt iho lumber
train were knocked to pieces. Neither of the
engines were materially damaged. Too engin or
of the passenger train leaped from bis engine just
before the collission, and was badly bruised by the
fall.
We understand a oompotent loros was immo
dialely dirp tohed to the point of the accident, and
that the road will be clear of tbe wrsok in lime lor
this morning’s trains.— Sav. Ktp., Tkurtday,
We learn from a gentleman that there ere six
engines ly'ug along the line Os tbe Central Kailroad
all placed hen de combat, by collisions within tho
last few days. The groat mail train failed two
successive days to conn tot in this city. There will
bo no end to these ooiliaions until an example is
made of tbe rcekless Conductors and Engineers.
iEßaltiiiobe Election.— In tbe election of mem
bars of the City Council of Baltimore on Wednca
day, the Democrats carried the city by a majority
of 1,086 votes.
Toe American says: Tho total vote cast in tbe
city, as compared with tbe vote cast last October
for members of tbe Council, shows the following
resalt:
American. Democrat. Total vote.
Ootober, 1854 IS SIS 11 828 24,740
October, 18>6 10,772 11,808 22,680
Decrease.... 2.740 Increase 680 De’r. 2,160
There is a failing off, it will be seen in the total
vote cast of 2,160 votes—whilst the D.mocratic
vote bas increased 680—(there were 606 natural
laed during the past month)—tbe decrease in the
American vote being 2,740.
Tbe laßt Council consisted of 14 Americans,
and 6 Democrats, and tbe Branch now stands 12
Democrats, and 8 Americans.
Pxhhstlvania Emonos.—Tho returns from
Pennsylvania are partial and incomplete, but are
sufficient to show that tbe Democrats have tri
umpbed in nearly ail portions of tbe Slate, elect
ing their candidate for Canal Commissioner, the
only State office! voted for, over the Fusion at
candidate by a large majority, and securing a ma
jority of tbe State Legislature, wbieb will insure
to them a Dame oratie United States Senator in the
room of Senator Cooper, whose term expired on
the 4ih of March last.
Bbutal Mvbdxb.—On Sunday night last, s»y«
tbe Chester, 8. C. Standard, a man by the name of
Bradley was murdered with an exo by a Mr. Wil
liams, abont fonr miles above this place. It ap
pears that the parties were N orth Carolina wagon
on, travelling together; that Williams had been
drinking for several days; that on the evening of
the occurrence he and deceased, w’th a son of his
and two of deceased’s were enoamped together;
that Williams rose in the night, and while Bradley
was sleeping, clove his head asunder in two placer;
and that he then fled and made his escape. It is
supposed that he was in a fit of delirium trtmene.
A coroner’s inquest was held over the body by
Oiles Patterson, Esq., and a verdict returned in
accordance with these facts. Mr. William 9 b«e
been arrested and lodged in Tork jail. Mr. Brad_

Affording to a correspondent of the Now Yoi
Tribune, a large number of mo.i have been eulia
ed in Now Orleans for tho Central American cip
dilions of Kinney and Walker, ail oi whom v.
go out armed. It is said a.'so that aoveral wealth
planters have oubneribod a largo amount of mom
to the enterprise, while others have agrood to g
down aa soon as things ore more settlod, and tab
with them their slaves. Many who have enhste i
have agreed to tako their families along. Tl
fund guaranteed to Kinney for tbo promotion
hie enterprise amounts to over live millions of uo
lars, and it is alleged that ? bo o’ j-ict of tho whole
effort is to secure tho organization of a slave Slate
in Central America, to annexed to tbo Union.
The increase of tho Stales cf tho West continues
[ to be vory large. There is not one cf them wb’ch
■ does not bid fair to become exceedingly populous:
Illinois and Indiana havo each over a million of in
[ habitants, whilo Michi., Wbcoi abi nnd lowa have
I each over a half million. The soil in a'l those is ox
> cellent and tho ii Qix of settlers rapid. In tho last
» five years Wisconsin has added 270,000 to her pop-
I ulation, and now has 575,000. lowa ba< ir.croased
‘ still more largely. Judging from present appear
ances, each of tho States we h ve turned s -ems
likely to possess, not long hence, a population
equal to that of Ohio.
j Return of Fugitive Slate* A few days ogo
three rnnaway slaves were arrested near Morgan
j town, Va. Two of them belonged to John F.
■ Porter, and the other to Georgo McDaniel, f f Hath
t co., Va. They f-ay they have been to Indiana,
foar?d they could ret no work, found the eo'ored
• population in the vicinity which they vis ted in a
J state of nudity and starvation, and they
st r agglirg brek in search of something to maintain
j themselves; got back to Pennsylvania, wandering
1 about almost in despair, and finally returned to
J Virginia alter an absence of about two months.
