Tha light division made straight for the Muientand prejacting argie of tue Reian, and 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 fttormir g party of the light division, Co!. Wind ham had got inside the Redan of their right beiow the B&iien.on the proper left face of the Redan, but iu spite of all his exertions, could do little m re than the gallant officers ot the SKfih and 87th and of the supporring regiments. As the Light Division rushed out in tho front, , they were swept by the guns of the Barrack Batte ry and by several pieces on the proper right of the Rxlun, loa ’ed lieaviiy with grape, which caused tnem considerable loss ere they reached the &a ii* nt or ap'x ot the work at which they war* to . .n *-T ■■■':# r'nuv- - of tl. *!

As Mahoney entered with a ch-or, he was shot through the bead by a Rissiuo ill :inan uni foil dead i c ops Colonel Windham, and at tbe seme moment Kill‘any *nd Cornellis wore oth wounded. The latter Haims 'he reward ol £> If red by Colonel Herbert to the 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.

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.

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?.

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 we had given the assault, we had not achieved a decisive triumph, and that so much had | been, : 1 ;gloriO" 1 * least fruitleasly poured Tte French, indeed, have been generouafonough | to say that our troops bedtved with great bravery, j 1 ui.d ■ that tney wondered bow we kept the Redan j I so long, u* der each a tremendous lira, but British j soldi-fa i-re rather accustomed to the nil e«zm ran 1 aocUr snob c.rcums aucos, and praise ftke mat | «.» v** is pleasure.

Our attack las'ed about an hour and three qusr ters, ns well as I could make out, and in t..at wine we lest more men than at Inkermann, where the righting lasted tor seven h urs. At. 1.4 S I*.

Ojnerfil Simpson remained in the Green Hill Battery till 6 o'clock, -at which hour General Polis her sent to inform him that the Malakhofi was quite ?afo, and to him what the English in •endod to do with respect to the Kedan. General Simpson had bv tLi? time arrived at the deermi nation of attacking it the following morning at 5 o'clock w th the Third and Fourth Divisions. The difficulty of getting accurate information of the progress of an action cannot be better exemplified i hau by this fact, that at 3 o’clock a General cf Di vision did not know whether wo had taken the Ueiao or trot.

Ere 2 o’clock this morning the fleet bad boon scuttled and snub, wi:h the exception of the steamers. About 12:&> the men of the 2 \ division on dn y in tho trenches observed a preternatural silence in tho Kidarr, and some volunteers crept up iuto it. Nothing cculd they hear but the heavy breathing and groans of tho wounded and dying, who, with tho dead, wore the sole occu pants of the placj. As the Kedan was known io be mi ied, the men were withdrawn, and soon afterwards the Kusßion tactics began to develop themselves. About two o’c ock flames were ob -1 erved to bresk cu in different parts of tho town. They spread gradually all over the principal build ings. At fnir o'clock a stupendous explosion behind ibo Kedan shook tho whole camp; it was followed by four other explosion * equuliy start ling.

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 .

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.

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.

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- | eibie reference to tlieilen e which mace up the bill, j hiormiaj ot Sevastopol! 1 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.

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.

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. The Annual Fair or Ibe Plantera' Club of Han coca County, (>«.

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 for their appearance. Tax Loudon Times on Km* Bomba.— The Times winds Dp a description of the Neapolitan tyrant as follows:—“Let tbs meanest man In these king doms—e esped though hs may be in poverty even to tbe 1 pv—.fflicted by sll tbe afflictions that can try humanity—all Job’s miseries upon him without Job’s patience—fall down upon hia knees and toank God that be is »ot ee the Kin# of Maples." ' 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 ti n wit': such a party, no one will doubt that your patriotism dwindles into insignifleanee com pared with your devotion to party : From the Albany AUas. 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.

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 ceiving or sending produce to market.

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. ißEc.iawicx and Floeida Railxoad.— A letter from Brunswick says: Operations have again been commenced on onr Railroad—sixty hands were plabed on it Monday, the Bth inst., and they oontemplate increasing the force soon.

J 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 tions in Ohio, and olsewhere. I hope you will give it, as coming from me, a prompt coLtradic tiu.

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.
