The march on that P occasion was of the most remarkable kind, from tbe nature of the ground and the absence of the topographical knowledge on the |part of the al lies A full description of it has been published, and one iacidenta eircumlstauce attending it was the capture and destruction, of the ammuni tion of a portion of Mensehikofl’s defeated ar • my, The arrival of the French and English forces at Balaklava appears to have been so totally un iookedfor, as to have spread panic among the Russians, and the fort at that point, which was IL only garrisoned by two or three hundred men, S scarcely offered any resistance This place be m ing secured, and a communication with the fleet jk : having been instantly opened, the m»ans not Hi only of disembarking ail the siege material with ease and rapidity, but also of moving it by a H .. good road to the heights above Sevastopol seem have been attained. The only question then remaining was to the time in which all the pre 6parations, for the attack could be complete!— gMHBhe utmostftwiftness being desirable, so that it Kttrnight take place before the expected Russian re from Odessa could arrive, and this to have been settled by an announce- HjKnNai-Tecei ved yesterday, that the bombardment commencedon the 4th, and that an was considered probable by the 12th.— public, however, have learned to distrust all news, and will therefore not rely these statements until they have been re ceived by other means. '/ has congratulated the English Court, "as sit lately did the French, on the success of the allied ag:ms in the Crimea. This would seem to setUedshe vexed question of her neutrality. It is nevertheless said that upon the fall of Se vastopol. she will make a supreme effort toin ducedßbssia to yield. The Frankfort Gazette, in an;article which has created some sensation, Hhf&it is not unlikely that a catastrophe like that now imminent in the Crimea, would provoke a violent and prolonged revival of the war on the part of Russia, now threatened in its existence and wounded in its self-love. Sllr The operations of Omar Pacha indicate a pro lasion of Bessarabia by the North, the la, and by sea. Prince Gortschakoff is g serious measures to resist the attack, son of Reni, Isaltic.

There will doubtlesss be hard et in this quarter, unless the capture jpol disheartens both officers and sol the depatches of the generals upon the ;he Alma, we have a mass of piivate >m eyewitnesses, full ol interesting de li an official report could not touch I - upon. I may say at once that public opinion is agreed to consider the loss on the side of the Al lies as greater than that reported. This is £? unanimously {acknowledged, both from the na * ture of the battle field, and the tremendous ad m vantages of position in favor of the Russians, and the belief that the Government would be disposed to conceal a portion of the destruction in the first collision with the enemy. It is worth noticing, tou, that the Prince P.iskfe witch, in bis report published at Warsaw' on the 2d, gives the Russian loss at 100 killed. Gener al Thomas, wounded and conveyed to Constan tinople, writes h' me that the Russians fought bravely and obstinately, and that for two hours II of projectiles seemed to create no void i ranks, but that they were finally com to yield before the tremendous impetuosi he Allied army. The Russian officers are sd as simple soldiers, by the order of the or, who dread any further decimination r ranks by the Turkish sharpshooters, death of Marshal Sfc.

His age was 53 sath of the Marshal will be an undoubted j the Emperor upon whose purse he was burden; certain complicities between endering it impolitic for Louis Napoleon bis coolant exactions. The loss can rnakaiittle or no difference to Jhe operations of the army ; having been foreseen. Gan. Canrobert held the sjder to succeed him. before the expedi tion ifft Fiance. At the Bourse, the death of the Ss|| Coonpander-in Chief was regretted, but it ex <erc®3 no influence, the funds rising slightly. -*—sfFfacbody arrived yesterday at Marseilles, and , vras received with all possible honors, salutes, BjP flags at half-mast, the tolling of bells. By a de cree of the Emperor, in consideration of the eminent services of the Marshal, in Africa, in the War Department, and in the East, he will lie buried at the Invalides, at the expense of the '" State. The papers are creeting for the deceased ■ warrior a reputation tor piety and probity ; a re putatiou which it will be no slight upon his me jnory to say he enjoyed during his life. Gen. Canrobert, his successor, is in every way fw a different man. He has risen by merit, and has won his several successive grades; St. Ar naud owed his rather to favor, chance or intrigue, having been in every sense an adventurer. Canrobert lived for ten years, when a Lieute nant, on 5,000 francs a year, never owed a debt, and never ventured into speculation. It is not known, and the papers are calling upon the Mo niteur for information, whether he has become General in Chief of the Allies, or only of the French army. Young Jerome Bonaparte, from West Point, has left Marseilles for Constantinople, ♦’bis week; he has with him 200 dragoons, of whom he is sub-Lieutenant. r-~ f*he Moniteur declares itself authorized to an nounce that no negotation whatever has been entered into between the United States and the Prince of Monaco, for the cession of the princi pality by the latter to the former. This is true, but the offer was none the less made by the agents of the Prince, to the American legation in this city. The conference of American representatives in Europe, which was to have taken place at Basle, in Swiss territory, had assembled at Ost end, on Belgian territory; any where but on French ground. They are to discßss the proper attitude of America toward Europe, it seems, as if the only attitude proper tor America were not the exclusive minding of her own business here. Americans here, nine out of ten, speak of the conference with ridicule. Our ambassadors cer tainly could not have selected a moment when -.they can collect and talk demagoguy with closed doors, with more total indifference on the part of the general public than the present. It would seem hardly possible for an operatic event to emotionize Paris just now, but we have certainly been considerably stirrel by an extra ordinary act on the part of Mile. Cruvelli. She was announced to sing in the Huguenots, on Monday night; instead of which, she took the Northern rail road and crossed the frontier, with out giving notice. She has not written since. The most rational explanations is that she was offended at the Government’s order that the names of all the artists be printed in type of the same size. A iaw suit or a fine of $2,500 is " talxed of. But I think it doubtful if she can make her peace in Paris again. M. Fould will probably draw a pen through her engagement, and the Opera will survive without her. The commercial difficulties at Liverpool still remain unsettled, and the impression is that the Italkei-of arrangement in the case of Mr Edward Oliver will not be-carried out, that his name is upon a larger amount ot paper than Whs at first supposed, and that the hope of a surplus will prove altogether delusive. He was mixed up with McHenry and Co., and Allen and Ander son. With respect to the affairs of McHenry, it is now commonly reported that he owes £-300, .000, apd that bis assets will not yield more than 5 per cent. o£ That amount. It is to be hoped these statements may prove fake, but if there is reaHyirutb in them, the prospects oi liquidation t* of Allen and Anderson must also li- very bad, as they are understood to have commit" j ted themselves with McHenry to the extent o* . making themselves liable as partners- The London money market shows rather more ease. In the funds there has been a sin gularly small amount of business for some time, but they remain steady. At the last date Con sols were quoted 95J, and they have left off this evening at the same price. The Eastern War and the Future. The British Government is already making arrangements for the next campaign. The Dub lin Daily Express says that, early in March, the 18tb instant, the 51st, the 54th, the 56th, the 76th, the 72d, the 80th, the 82d, the 90, and the 94th regiments, will be in England, and prepared to proceed to the Baltic. It would thus appear that a long struggle is anticipated. The cost iu the end will be immense, and unless the Allies should be discomfitted, an effort will, no doubt, be made to obtain restitution from the Czar.— Such is already the sentiment of a large body of the people of England and France. But should Sevastapol be taken —what then ? Nicholas will then accept a peace dictated by the allies— or he will not. If he should refuse, the war, of course, will be continued. The Liverpool Journ al, alluding to such a contingency, says it is very puzzling to decide how the contest is to be carried on. The editor adds: St. Petersburg can only be taken by an army. Have we the army ? Have the French and English together, an army such as the great Napoleon considered requisite lor a conquest of Russia ? They have not together men ; and Louis Napoleon is not so foolish as to empty France of soldiers. He fears the Monarchists and be fears the Republicans, and he is bound, also, to fear the Prussians, who might diverge out of neutrality into Russianism. We might, together, collect an army sufficiently strong to beat Nicholas out ot bis capital —probably be would be Fabian, and retire with his army to Moscow. He will, we are told, never give in ; and he has a large territory to retire on. So long as the war is merely a military war, there is, then, no security whatever that we can bring him to the conditions we require. Inasmuch as at present we are not feeling the cost of the war—are revelling in corn prosperity and are beginning to see that commerce does not necessarily suffer in war-time —the chances of prolonged hostilities may be discussed with con siderable phlegm. The alliance between Eng land and France seems stable; and there is felt in that, a vast security for the future. But we should begin at once to realise what Sevastopol leads to, and to consider what next. Os course, the Crimea could be taken possession of by an Allied Army, and the Russian fleet destroyed.— Turkey would then be safe. But can we keep an Allied army in the Crimea forever. Is a Turkish army to be kept in the field forever, or at Bessarabia, and are the Wallachians to be sentenced lorever to a military occupation? Are we equal to the weight of keeping Russia down? For she would lose no chance of getting up. Our ministers feel the difficulty, and will be compelled to throw themselves on the country. The question of the day, then, is—as Russia is to be conquered, effectually, neither in the Crimea nor at St. Petersburg—ought we not to attack her via Poland ? That is to say—is the war to be ended only by a European conflagration ? In other words, must we enter on a political war against Russia ? There is another method, and one that re commends itself to the sentiment of the time.— We need not invade Russia; we need not take St. Petersburgh, nor provoke another conflagra tion at Moscow—we have only to wait where we are and Russia must submit. Sevastapol dismantled, and the Russian fleet in the Euxine destroyed, we have only to blockade the Baltic, and keep a few ships in the Bosphorus, and the Czar will have to endure the clamor and hatred of an oppressed people—a terrible enemy. The future, indeed, so far as Europe is con cerned, is involved in doubt. Should Nicholas persist, there will be exhausting and bloody work for years. Important changes will also, no doubt take place; and, driven to extremity, the Allies may endeavor to establish the king- Joins of Poland and of Hungary, and thus to re volutionize Europe. The latter, however, will depend upon the course of Austria. But this is not all. Finland would probably be restored to Sweden, and Courland would again become a seperate nation We repeat, the solution of this Eastern Question may yet involve the most im portant consequences. Plundering the Wreck of the Ship Belia Maria. —lt will be remembered that this vessel was wrecked on Martin’s Industry during tbe August gale, while on her passage from Liver pool to Charleston. A portion of her cargo was, we understand, taken off, and having been bonded at our Custom House, was sent to Charleston, for which salvage was paid. Since then it has been discovered that a large amount of goods have been carried off from the wreck, and for the past two or three weeks the Custom House officers, assisted by several of the City Police, have been zealously engaged in searching for and recovering the property. We learned yes f erday that they had succeeded in getting possession of some two thousand dollars worth of goods, consisting of drygoods, hardware, china ware, carpeting, &c., a part of which was found buried and secreted on Tybee Island, and the balance in the possession of parties in this city. A portion of t e property taken from the ship was brought up to the city in boats, and landed under cover of the night, and has since been traced to the possession of various parties in town. The officers, both of the Custom House and police, have been indefatigable in their efforts to trace up tde missing goods, and have succeeded in obtaining information which will lead to the recovery of most of them. We understand it is their intention to pursue the matter vigorously. We hope they will be en tirely successful, and that whoever the guilty parties may be, in a transaction so manifestly dishonest and disgraceful to our port, they may be dealt with as they deserve.— Sav. News , 31. The Missing Passengers of the Arctic. —W m. Rathbone, of N. Y., who was a passen ger cn the Arctic, has written a letter to E. C. Benedict, of that city, which would seem to leave little room for doubt that Mr. A Benedict and his wife, with a number of other passengers, embarked in the boat that left the ship in-charge of the butcher. He says: I saw him (Mr. Benedict) in the dining sa loon after the collision, and said to him “ We are lo t ” He replied, “ Yes I fear we are. I then said to him, u I always expected to die a violent death, and the time is now come. ,) When tbe two quarter-boats on the larboaid side of the Artie were filled—principally with passengers-rand the forward one and largest of the two, was being lowered into the sea—which was done safely—l was near the side o theship and saw Mr Benedict and his wife seated in that boa 1- . That I recollect very distinctly, and also that they were the only individuals of all those in the boat with whose countenances I was fa mi liar. , a dds that there were 30 to 40 persons in tne boat, and among them 10 or 12 females.— He has a strong hope, he says, that they were picked up and taken to Europe. City Amusements, The past week has been one of unusual inte- j rest to such of our.citizens and country neighbors ] as are in the habit ot indulging their taste for i Drama ic representations, or the lighter and ! scarcely less popular entertainments”of Ethio- j pian ministrelsy, with both of which classes of amusements we have recently been highly favor- I ed. With Mr. Crisp and his talented Company, j at Concert Hall, and West and Peel’s Campbell Mintrels, at Temperance|Hall, the vexed ques tion with our people seems to have been, not which they had better patronize, but which they could consent to forego. Os Mr. Crisp and his Corps we can only say, that throughout their somewhat protracted stay of two weeks, they have been uniformly met by large and appreciative audiences, who have free ly expressed their gratification at the continued and successful efforts of the Management for their entertainment, both as regards the judicious selection ot tbe pieces performed, and the very effective manner in which they were placed up on the stage. I bis Company, hitherto Qppular in our city, have made many additional friends during their present visit, who, we doubt not, will always be ready to meet them with a hearty welcome and liberal encouragement, whenever they may think proper to appear upon our boards. Mr. C., we learn, has an engagement in Macon the present week. Ol' the Campbells, it is almost unnecessary to speak, further than to say, that they are the same fun-loving and miith-provoking band ol good fellows as ever. They are well known through out this country as one of the very best compa nies of Minstrels in the world. Possessing as they do an infinite versatility of talent and fund of humor, every thing they do is well done and I funny; and if, as the old maxim has it, every good laugh draws a nail out of one’s coffin, then of a truth are the last houses of a goodly portion ol our people in ruins, and Mike Mitchell and Matt Peel must take the responsibility of the destruction. To all, then, who enjoy an hour of innocent relaxation and a hearty laugh, we would say, go and hear the Campbells, tbe first opportunity—secure an eligible seat, loosen all obstructions to cachinatory exercise, and leave the result with Patt Peel and the rest of the boys.— Columbus Enq., 31 si.

PUBLIC MEETING At the request of several citizens, a PUBLIC MEETING will be held at the City Hall, oh THURSDAY, 2d inst., at 12, M., —for the pur pose of expressing the gratitude felt by the citi zens of Augusta towards the Howard Association of New Orleans , for the timely assistance render ed, Ihrough Dr. S.

ROBERTSON, Mstyor. Health of our City. To the reg’et of all, and in disappointment of the hopes entertained, we have again to notice that we have not as yet been visited even by a white frost. Tuesday and Wednesday were lovely days, but were any thing but favorable towards the termination of the fatal disease un der which our city has been suffering since the 20th of September. Yesterday morning there was a very heavy due on the ground. At 8 o’- clock the Thermometer reached 62, and at half IP. M., 72. As we go to press the weather is clear and pleasant, with no indication of a change for the better—not a cloud visible. Absentees should be cautious in visiting the city through | the day, and not expose themselves to the sun. The following is the report of the Board of Health. Meeting Board of Health.

Resolved , That the Board request the Physi cians of the city to meet them again on Satur day next, at 3 o’clock. DAVID L. ROATH, Sec’y Board Health. The Meeting To-Day. We hope to see present this day, at 12 M., at the City Hall, every male resident of Augusta, at present in the city. The number, we know are fdfc, but let those few testify by their pres- | ence the gratitude felt by the citizens of Augusta towards the members r/f the Howard association of New Orleans, and their appreciation of the valuable services rendered by Dr. Campbell, the able faithful and attentive physician sent by that noble and philanthropic association to our relief in the hour of our trouble. K7“For the information of the friends of Lewis Levy, Esq., of this city, we are requestod to state that he is still alive, with a prospect of enjoying many mare years of usefulness.

The Fever.—lts Disappearance. —lt will be seen by reference to the reports of the Board of Health (says the Savannah News of 31st ult.) that there have been no deaths by yellow fever for the past three days. It affords us the most Jively satisfaction to be enabled to make an an nouncement which we know will be so gratify ing to our absent friends, indicating, as it assuredly does, the disappearance of the epidemic with which our city, in common with most of the cities and towns of the South, has been so sorely afflicted. That the disease has ceased to exist here in the epidemic thsre can be no doubt, and the occurrence of a frost must soon j give certain security against even sporadic at- ■ tacks. For our part, we do not think there is at present any danger incurred by acclimated citi | zens in returning to the city, though while the weather is, as at present, damp, cloudy, and warm j —in a transitive state from summer to. winter ! temperature—a change which a few hours may 1 bring about—we are indisposed to take the res- ! ponsibility of advising absentees to return. If there should be no recurrence of fever cases for the next few days, and the weather should be come settled and seasonable, even if there should be no frost, we think no apprehension need be I felt by our citizens in returning to their homes ’ and business.

At Philadelphia, on Friday, the trial of Ste phen J. Beale, the dentist, charged with an out rage on a young woman, was concluded. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty, but recommend- 1 ed the prisoner to mercy. Mr. Beale was for- 1 raerly regarded as an excellent man, and had ( been for some time a church communicant. i l Ejectment Suit. “ Pink,” the New York Correspondent of the Charleston Courier, under date of the 26th ult., 1 writes: “An ejectment suit, involving millions of dol lars, has been brought in the U. S. Circuit Court of this city. The case is brought by the de scendant ot a butcher, who died in 1801, and who, at the time of his death, owned a farm, comprising the present Fifteenth Ward of this city. During the various transfers of this pro perty from family to family, a widow Brown contends that some of the mortgages were in valid; and if such can be proven, some of the titles to this immense property aie worth the paper upon which they are written. The pro perty in dispute is bounded by Fourteenth-st., Sixth Avenue. Eleventh-stand Fourth Avenue, and is estimated to be worth ten millions of dol lars. The most distinguished lawyers in the city are engaged Judge Bronson, Attorney General Chatfield, and several others for Mrs. Brown; while Charles O’Conor, Judge Emmett and a number of others are retained by the de fendants. The British steamer Jura, reported by tele graph as being due at Boston from Liverpool, it is stated has been withdrawn for several weeks, and did not leave on the 11th instant, the ad vertised day of her intended departure. The New York Tribune of Saturday says: We are informed that there has been another case-of overdraft discovered in .one of the City Banks to an amount exceeding SIOO,OOO. The name of the bank has not become public. During the quarter ending 30th September there entered at New York 667 United States vessels, and 475 foreign vessels; total, 1,142, a decrease of 123 compared with the same quarter of 1853. Cleared, 373 United States, and 464 foreign vessels; total 537; a decrease of 117 as compared with 1853. The coastwise tonnage entered and cleared at the Custom House dur ring the quarter was ; entered, 425 vessels, with 347,723 tonnage. This, however, is only a par tial exhibit of the coastwise trade, as vessels from or to a domestic port, having neither foreign goods or distilled spirits on board, are not oblig ed to enter or clear at the Custom House. The figures show' a general decline in the coastwise trade as compared with the same quarter in 1853. The value of the foreign imports in American vessels was $43,125,716; in foreign vessels, $14,456305- Exports in American vessels, $19,098,219 ;'in foreign vessels, $8,829, 506. The Journal of Commerce remarks that the dif ference between the exports by each class of vessels, great as it is, is less than usual. The car rying trade has been very much depressed, and British and Continental vessels here have been obliged to accept such rates for outward cargoes as they could obtain, W’hile United States vessels have been a little more enterprising in look ing up business elsewhere, and many of them have been withdrawn from regular lines which usually send out large cargos. Hog*. Louisville, Oct. 24. —The,packing season is rapidly approaching, and our country readers W'ish doubtless to know something about hogs. There is nothing doing, however. Packers un der present circumstances, with a tight money market and large stocks, and great depression in prices ot last year’s product, are loth to enter the market at the rates now demanded. The crop, it is new genenlly admitted, w'ill show not so large a deficiency rs supposed some time ago. Some are offering $4 net, but this we think a little too low. We are confident, however, that no sales could at present be effected at over $4,50 net. The Alton Telegraph says : We hear it rumoured that five thousand hogs have been contracted for at at $3,50. The represented seller is a packer ot that plaee. The St. Louis Intelligencer says: Here packers talk of $4, and so far as we have heard an expression of opinion, none calculated at less than that will be paid at any time during the season. A drover was in the city yesterday offering to contract 1000 or 1500 head at $5, but found no buyer. At Cincinnati $4 net is offered.

The King of Bavaria, it seems, is a suitor in the courts of justice of New York, an action having been entered in the Superior Court, on Wednesday, in the name of Maximilian, the se cond, King of Bavaria, as plaintiff, against Jacob Neustadler, (now estab'ished as a merchant in New York) to recover thirty thousand florins (about $12,000) alleged to be due and owing to said plaintiff. The Express understands that the claim is on alleged advances in establishing a silk factory at Bavaria some six years ago. The answer has not yefc been put in. The British Government is already making ar- \ rangements for the next campaign. The Dub- ! lin Daily Express says, that early in March, the 18th, the 51st, the 54th, the 56th, the 66th, the j 72d, and the 80th, the 82d, the 90th and 94th ; ; regiments will be in England, and prepared to J proceed to the Baltic. It would thus appear i that a long struggle is anticipated. The cost in i j the end will be immense, and unless the allies ; j should be discomfitted, an effort will no doubt be | made to obtain restitution from the Czar Such ; ; is already the sentiment of a large portion of the I people of England and France. The Charleston Theatre opened for the win- j ter season, on Monday night, under the manage- | ment of Mr. Duffield. The Hunchback was the play, with Miss Inceas Julia. Mr. Duffield is well known at New Orleans j and other great cities, as a most able manager, ' i and accomplished pertormer. He is certain of success in the Palmetto City. I The North Carolina six per cent, loan of $260,- 000 was taken at Raleigh, on the 20th ult., at an average premium of 1 i per cent., the purchasers paying the accrued interest from Ist July. No bids were received from New York, and the whole loan, with the exception of $24,000, was taken by parties in North Carolina. A prior six per cent, loan for that State was taken by New \ork capitalists, in March, 1853. at 105.20 per hundred dollars; another of $500,000-in Oc tober, 1853, at three percent, premium for ac count of the Sinking Fund of Alabama; and another loan of SSOO 000 in March last, princi pally by New York capitalists, at an average of 104.25. The Isabel.— By the arrival of the pilot boat schooner Dart from Key West yesterday, we re ceived the gratifying Intelligence that the Isa bel had arrived at that port, having met with, as we anticipated, an accident to her machinery. In our marine intelligence and Key West Cor respondence will be found full particulars of the accident. The Dart brought the Isabel’s mails from Ha vana and Key West, having left the former port on the 25th instant, the regular day. Capt. Tittle deserves great credit for the energy and promptness he has displayed in making the ne- i cessary arrangements for the transmission of the mails and passengers. We are indebted to Mr. Mahoney, the Purser of the Isabel, who came on in the charge of the mails, for his polite attention.— Ch- Courlst inst. XW—MWBWBMHMB Further Contributions to Samaritan Society.

The papers say that several who have eaten raw oysters, of late, have suddenly died soon after; and a respondent ot the National Intelligencer quotes the authority of an old fisherman, that they are not safe or wholesome eating this year. « Among the recent failures in Cincinnati, was that of the banking house of P. B. Manchester, in which many persons in humble life had placed their savings. His affairs are in the hands of assignees, and the assets have been found insuf ficient to meet the liabilities, the failure being caused by stock speculations and extravagant living. Since his failure it has not been safe for him to be seen abroad in Cincinnati, and accor dingly he left the city. At Lawrenceburg he was arrested by one of his victims, just as he was stepping on board the mail steamer High flyer, and having a large trunk with him it was attached by the Sheriff. The claim was about S7OO, and he tried hard to evade the payment, saying that although the case was a hard one, there were many widows and orphans among his depositors much worse off, but finally, as the claimant was about to force open the trunk, he produced a key, opened it, took out a large pack age of securities and paid the amount, after which he was allowed to depart. Subsequently, he ar rived at a hotel in Columbus, registered a false name, was detected, and another depositor pre ferred a claim of seven hundred dollars, accom panied by a threat of lynch-law unless it was paid. This was done, and the fugitive allowed to depart. Miss Eliza Logan. — We perceive by the St. Louis papers that Miss Logan is playing in that city, where she is quite as great a favorite with the theatrical public as she is in Savannah. The press is unstinted in its praises of her, ajad by the published correspondence, we observe that a complimentary benefit had been tendered to her, in the most flattering terms, by a number of the leading gentlemen of St. Louis. The benefit took place on the 21st ult. The Democrat re lates the following: Good. —During the performance of London Assurance on Friday night, at the People’s Thea tre, a little trifle was introduced, which, for the moment gave a pleasing interest to the play. Grace Harkaway. (Mrs. Potter) says, placing a note she had been reading in her bosom, “What shall Ido with it?—shall I put in the fire?” Just then an alarm of fire was given, which had bro ken out near the theatre, Lady Gay Spanker (Miss Logan,) instantly replied: “No; it is near enough the fire where it is.” The house took it. Kansas Emigrants Coming Back.— Many of the emigrants sent out by the Anti-Slavery Society to take possession of the territory of Kansas, are becoming sick of the undertaking. We do not wonder Northern abolition philan thropy when required to do more than talk and vote, has usually been found wanting. We find in the Boston Atlas some accounts from one of their emissaries. Says the Atlas : A young Milk street clerk, who wentout’vvith the September party from Baston, writes to his friends a most dolelul account of his sufferings. He says that, after reaching Kansas City, he ami others of his party started on loot,gun in hand, for their new location. On their way, he says, they were obliged to sleep in the hay gathered up in the fields, purchasing a quart of milk of an Indian squaw for twenty-five cents to moisten their hard iood ; that upon reaching their destin ation they found the accommodations to be a few overcrowded tents, and they were obliged to camp in the open air. The land now un claimed is some distance from the river, and is bate of wood. In addition, he says, it is necessfeary to keep a vigilant eye upon their effecfs, tor fear of their “ disapperance. He declares that of the party of one hundred and sixty who left with him, at least ninety are on their way back to the East ward, well satisfied that they are rot fitted to settle a new ami unbroken country, and quite disposed to pronounce the whole Kansas scheme a grand humbug. On the 6th insfc. an exploring party from In diana, consisting of nineteen persons, represent ing as many families, passed through Parkville for Kansas. They were well provided for a three weeks’ tour in the new Territory, and intended to return for their families as soon as they found their locations. Another large compiny was ex pected from Illinois. The Fayetteville “Independent,” states that numbers of squatters are taking possession of the “Neutral Land” of the Cherokees, in Kansas, which has mot yet been acquired by the govern ment. The land thus designated consists ol half a million of acres, very favorably located, which the “Independent” advises settlers to avoid, lest they should lose both their time and improve ments. The Indian version of the recent massacree at Fort Laramie, is as follows: Lieut. Grattan commenced a parley regarding the killing of the cow, when Big Bear , the chief, come up with a sort of lance, and struck at and wounded him, calling him a squaw and a coward, and charged him with being afraid to fight. Grattan drew his revolver, fired a number of times, wounding the chief, and then elevated his cannon and j fired, intending to intimidate the Indians Irom further violence without taking their lives. The | whole band of Indians then made a rush at, and | killed upon the spot all but one, who finally es j caped, and lived to reach the fort, but could make |no explanation of the occurrence. He stated j that he had been repulsed by one of the French I traders and driven away; although he had seve ral holes shot through him, he lived to crawl twelve miles to the/ort. Lieut. Grattan was j found under the cannon, pierced with twenty arrows and a number of bads. He had fallen across the cannon, where his life’s blood still ad hered They then filled the cannon with man : ure, and pulled off and thrust in the Lieutenant’s boots. j . _1 . _;; : ’The proceedings under the fugitive law at Boston in the case of Anthony Bums , not Jong I since reclaimed by his master, Captain Scuttle, of Alexandria, Virginia, cost the United States within a fraction of $27,000 for extra police and military force alone. This does not cover the usual ordinary expenses incurred in the case, -such as the lees of the regular officers of the United States employed in the case. The Washington Star says that $15,000 of the above $27,000 were duly paid last week. [From the Charleston Courier, Ist ftisi.J The Fire in Meeting Street. The fire mentioned in yesterday’s Courier as having broken out on the premises of Mr. F. P ! Seignious, west side.of Meeting street, was not ef fectually subdued until nearly seven o’clock. We subjoin an account of the damages sustained and the amount of insurance thereon. | The interior of the brick building facing on Hasell-st;, adjoining the Pavilion Hotel, owned by Mr. Geo. Ihompson, was entirely destroyed The unper portmn of the edifice was not cccu- P‘ ed ’, V ex^ ended back 011 the North line about JL fZ r WaS reCent,y fitted U P to connect with the buildings occupied by Messrs. S.and E. M. Gilbert, fronting on Went worth-street, so as to form a continuous sales room, opening on -both streets. I his property,, which was insured in the J? ireman s Insunnce office for $5,000, had een leased to the Messrs. Gilbert, and was to - ha v« i “ turned ov <?r to them yesterday. | Ihe bulding facing on Meeting-st., occupied by i Mr. Leonard Chapin as a Carriage Depository, ! owned by Mr. F. P. Seignious, were destroyed} It was, however, insured in the Fireman’s Insu rance Comj>any for 55.000. Mr. Chapins stock was insured for $10,000—55,000 in the Royal J Insurance Company, and $.1,000 in the Girar3 Insurance Company, ot which J. H. Taylor is Agent. The building north of the above, owned and occupied by F. P. Seignious was, also, ecwr sumed. It was insured in the Fireman’s Insur ance Company for $3,000, and the shop tor S4OO. Mr. S Mowry, Jr. whose residence is next North of the above had the wood work of the piazza charred by the flames. His stable, which was destroyed, was insured for SIOOO in the .South Carolina Insurance Company. A brick building facing on Wentworth st. im mediately West of the Carriage Depository of Mr. M. H. Nathan, owned by Mr. S. Mowry, Jr., and occupied below as a blacksmith’s shop by iVTr. Chapin, and above as a dwelling by several families, was consumed It was insured in the South Carolina Insurance Company for $2500. A brick building adjacent to the above, owned and occupied by Mr. Chapin for purposes con nected with his business, was destroyed. It was insured for SSOOO in the Home Insurance Com pany, of which J. H. Taylor is Agent. A brick building West of the above owned by Mr. Samuel Meeker, of New Haven, was slightly injured. It was, as previously men tioned occupied by the Messrs. Gilbert, and connected with Mr. Thompson’s building. In this large and coriimodious sales room were a number>of carriages and other vehicles, many of which were removed. The insurance amounts to SIO,OOO, SSOOO in the Monarch office, New York, and SSOOO in the Fireman’s Insurance Company; but a small amount, however, will be required. The large building extending along the north line of the premises on which stands the Pavil ion Hotel was nearly entirely destroyed. The greater portion of the roof has fallen in, and in the upper stories little is standing but the na ked walls. It is insured for S2OO in one of Mr. J. H. Taylor’s agencies, and S2OOO in the Charleston Insurance and Trust Company, which amount, we believe, will fully cover the dama ges. BY TELEGRAPH. LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL ° F THE | P A C IT I C .
