The Paris Momteur publishes a idtei irom
V t r 4 l ,?^ a . ted P ct ‘ 2i : acd says:
‘ 1 hat tbe fire of the allies’ land barrens was
opened at 1* o’clock on the Ist against Sebas

ed the foits at the entrance of the port, the En
glish those ht the left, and the French those on
the right. The English blew up the outer for
tifications on the left, {this is supposed to mean
the White Tower.) while the French silenced
the Quarantine Fort on the right.
“Vienna, Oct. 28. —Lord Westmorland re
ceived a dispatch yesterday, according to which
the guns of iha two forts at the entrance to the
harbor of Sebastopol were dismounted by the ar
tillery of the allied fleets. The allies had about
105 men wcunded,and one-third of that number
killed.”
Vienna, Sunday, Oct. 29.— The Frernden
Biatt {news-paper) yesterday received news of
. date 19th from the Crimea. It was said that
tbe ships discontinued the bobardment. because
the battery and Quarantine fort, at which they
fired, weie silenced. The loss on the part of the
allies was nearly 90.
From the camp before Sebastopol, October 19,
it is said: ' ,
As i iccouuts leeve, the French have silenced
the Quarantine battery, and continue their at- j
tacksagainst Fort Alexander, and the loop-holed
wall that defends the town of Sebastopol on the
souta-western sidei lt was not without loss
that the allied squadrons assisted in this com
bined and concentrated attack; they lost alto
gether one hundred killed and two hundred
wounded in three days. An aid-de-camp ot tbe
French Admiral was stuck by a sheil on the
deck of the Ville de Paris, the flag-sh<p. The
Agamemnon, bearing the flag of Bir Edmond
Lypcs, had suffered severely, and the Retribu
tioruCfcptain Diummond, had a flag shot away.
Os on land we have no account,
but the Russians confess to five hundred killed,
including Admiral Kornileff.
It will be seen from the above that these suc
ct-ssive reports all refer to tbe assault ©f which
We had the Russian statement, per last steamer,
from Europe.
Summing up these dispatches, the London
Times says, editorially:
“We are still without the means ol adding any
Ipact ofrjmportance to the intellige- ce previously
fromdthe seat of war. The dispatch forwarded
by Lord Westmoreland on the 27th had been six

Pro conjecture the duration and real effect of this
h,. engagement. Unfortunately, the official tele
jSlgraphic despatches, on which alone reliance can
fPbe placed, are so unskillfully framed, that they
rather increase than diminish tbe uncertainty
ft which we labor, and w r e must wait for the
al of our own correspondence and dispatch
rrivate information leads us to suppose that
tbe “quarantine battery,” reported to have been
destroyed by the French, was an earth-work
which the Russians threw up during the 10th,
11th and 12th October, and from which they
thew shell with anitoy ing effect in the French
trenches.
Russians say that no . Damage is Donb.—
The Russian embassy at Vienna had received a
dispatch dated Irom Czernovitz, morning of 28tb
October, stating that the bombardment of Se
basfcopol had been carried on vigorously to the
20th, but without much damage to the defences:
Also from Odessa, Oct. 25, saying:
“The bombardment of Sebastopol was con
tinued up to the 23J. but nothing decisive had
occurred.”
The Russian official statement reads thus:
“St. Petersburg, Oct. 26.—Prince Menscjii
koff writes under date of the night ot the 20th.
‘We return the fire of the enemy with success.
The damage caused to the fortification is trifling.
The fire from the enemy’s ships has not been
renewed. A part of our reserve has arrived
and tbe remainder is expected.”
A Breach Effected. —The Paris Moniteur
ofthe 30th confirms previous intelligence, by
saying:
■*v, “A fetter from Varna informs us that a French
steamer, which left the Crimea on the 21st, con
firms the news respecting the destruction of the
two outer forts of Sebastopol. Moreover the
land batteries have made a breach. The allied
armies were only waiting :or the opening of a
second breach, in order to make the assault.”
Successful Sortie of the Russians.—Ac
cording to a Russian official despatch published
in the Kreuz Zeitung, dated St. Petersburg, Oct.
28,theseige continued uninterruptedly up to the
23d, the fortifications had suffered but little. The
attack from the sea had not been renewed. The
Russians had made a successful sortie, and a bat
tery of eleven guns and eight mortars had been
destroyed. Lord Clanricarde’s son, Lord Dun
kellin, was taken prisoner.
The Czar sends his Sons to the War.—
Michael and Nicholas, youngest sons of the Czar,
arrived at Odessa on the 15th. Thence they
would proceed, in course of a day or two, to
Kaischenoff, Prißce Gortschakofif’s headquarters,
in order to take active service in the army.—
Previous to their leaving St. Petersburg, a solemn
religious service was held in presence of 35,000
of the army ; the Czar, his sons, and the troops
knelt on the field and invoked the blessings of
Heaven on their arms. Alexander is at War
saw with the guards, and Coustantine is the only
son now remaining with the Czar.
The Baltic.— .Vlostc f the French ships have
reached home. The British are yet cruising
about.
Ostentatious preparations are being made in
England for the seige ot Cronstadt, which, it is
stated, will be the first act of the Spring cam
paign. The British war department has order
ed the construction of 120 gunboats, carrying
each two heavy guns, and of 40 floating batte
ries, carrying each 70 guns—total 2,d00 guns—to
be ready by the opening of navigation in the
Spring. 'The French are likewise making pre
parations.
There is a rumor, but it comes from Stock
holm, that the Baltic fleet will next Spring be
under the command of Sir Edmund Lyons.
Napier is sick—unable to leave his ship.
The Danube. —Galatz letters of the 15th say,
that since the sth tbe Russian force has increas
ed near Tultsha, and a portion of it has crossed
the Danube to the right bank. The Turks that
were at Tultsha have fallen back on Babadagh;
and those near Matschin have crossed tbe river
in considerable force, arid have entered the Do
brudseba. They say that all tbe Russians mean
by this manoeuvre is to force the Turks to leave
tbe Pruth and the Lower Danube.
Menschikoff’s cariiage, taken after the battle
of Alma, is on public exhibition at Constantino
ple, as a trophy, and, it seems, is the identical ve
hicle in which he drove through the city during
his insolent embassy ot last year. This is what
Emerson would call “compensation.”
££One hundred thousand pair of wooden shoes
(sobots) are to be shipped fiom Lyons for the
French army.
Ships continue to load cargoes of liuseed at the
Black Sea ports.
At Revel, and elsewhere in the Baltic, the
blockade is considered as removed by tbe depar
ture of the fleets,
Russian Defeat in Asia.— According to a
letter in tbe Paris Moniteur, dated Mossul, Sept.
25, the Mushir ot Y r an bad attacked the Russian
corps which covered Gumri, and completely dis
persed it, with tbe loss of its tents, baggage and
ammunition, and 30 guns. A Russian General
was killed. The Turks then began to besiege
the citadel, when the Russian corps which had
formerly beaten the Turks at Bayazid advanced
to tas rescue from Eriran. It was, however,
completely repulsed and shut up in a defile, ! I
where it suffered considerable loss.
Action op the German States. ---Advices
trom Vienna continue to express confidence that 1
the Germanic States will take pait with Aus
tria. it is noticed, as an indication of how the
wind blows, that the Berlin New-Prussian Ga
zette has been ordered, under threat of eonfisca- j
tion, to cease its attacks on the French Govern- 1
ment.
Rumors are again very current in Vienna that
a Bavarian army w ill occupy the Austro-Italian j
Provinces, for tbe purpose of enabling Austria to
have her whole force available in case of hostili
ties with Russia.
I From the London Times , October 31. |
Progress of Attack at Sevastopol. —The
; latest telegraphic intelligence which has been re
ceived by the French and English Governments
jis dated from the Crimea on the 20th inst. At
that time the siege was going on favorably • the
bombardment from the trenches of the besieging
armies hed been resumed on the 19th with el
fect; but the enemy is not reported to have sus
tained the loss of any essential part of the for
tress. From the moment that it was clearly as
certained that Sevastopol could not be reduced,
even from the south side and by land, without
the operations of a regular siege, there is no rea
son to feel surprise at the length of these pro
ceedings. It is perfectly true that we had been
led, in common with all chief military author!- j
ties, to anticipate an easier termination of this j
great enterprise, when once the place should be
invested on the south. The hills above the town
were supposed to command the most important
positions, and the accounts of the most recent
travellers, as well as the careful surveys under
taken by officers of our own fleet, had failed to
discover all the resources which the Russians had
prepared for resistance. Every fortified town
has its weak points as w’ell as its strong ones ; I
but, in the present instance, the jealous and se- j
cret policy of the Russian Government had to a
great extent succeeded in w ithholding from our
generals a full knowledge of the place they were
about to attack.
For instance, it has been found that the deep
and broad ravines which extended down to the j
harbor and the dock yard in front of the British j
lines not only increase the difficulty of driving
our approaches and parallels within a short range I
of the walls, but also present serious obstacles to
an assault in that quarter. Hence the principal
reliance of the right attack lies in the facility
we have acquired far shelling the town with our
heavy guns, while the attack on the garrison and
the forts is brought more nearly home on the
other side. The French were enabled to open
their first parallel nearly three hundred yards
nearer to the town than our advanced lines, and
below tbe stony surface they found a layer of
clay serviceable for the purpo e of entrenchments.
Their position is therefore more favorable for !
the purposes of an assault than that of the Brit
ish army; and it will probabiy be found that
while our troops are making a powerful diver
sion to the east, the decissive attack will be be
gun on the western extremity of the lines. Gen
eral Camobert has succeeded, with the assistance
of the French navy, in erecting a strong redoubt
on tbe extreme left of the position, which has
been armod with no less than five batteries,
mounting :n all 56 guns. Many of these pie
ces are of tne largest calibre, and have been ta
ken out of ships of the line for the purpose.—
This work has the double advantage ol afford
ing an effectual shelter to tbe French army, in
the event of a strong sortie of the gariison,
while, on the other hand, some of these batteries
are so placed as to command the western forts
and outworks of Sevastopol. It was, no doubt,
against this work that the sortie of the garrison
was directed which is mentisned by Prince
Menscbikoff, in his dispatch of the 23d, but we
must wait for a better authority than that of the
Russian Commander in Chief before we credit
the assertion that eleven French mortars and
eight guns were spiked by the Russians on this
occasion.
On the Russian forts, which are situated near
est to the sea, the maratime attack on the 17th
of October was made, and apparently with suc
cess; but we still await, with extreme interest,
the particulars of this engagement, which is the
first great feat of arms performed by the Black
Sea fleet. Without forcing this line of sunken
, vessels and the double boom which obstruct the
entrance of the harbor, there is uo doubt that our
i vessels could come in sufficiently near to the
Fort Constantine on the north side, and to the
Quarantine Fort on the other, to test the walls
i of those works by a very severe fire. The Mon
iteur states, and the same intelligence is trans
mitted in several forms from Vienna, that the
north battery was destroyed by the fire of the
English ships, and the south battery silenced by
that ot the French. This termination of the
attack would account for the fact that it was not
I resumed on the following day, an iwe may sup
pose that the ships had accomplished all they
could undretake at that moment, without forcing
the entrance of the port. Admiral Lyons and
the Agamemnon were, as we had confidently
anticipated, in their pluce on this occasion; and
the Retribution, under the command of Capt.
Drummond, has on this, as on all oth
er occasions, shown her aptitude for every des
cription ot service. We have reason to believe
’ that seven ships of the allied squadron took part
’ in this attack ; the French Admiral's ship, the
Y ille de Paris was one of them, and we trust
i that Admiral Dundas was equally zealous in de
■ fence of the honor of his flag.
| The Public allusion which the Emperor Louis
J Napoleon has recently made, in his letter of con
dolence to Madame De St. Arnaud, to the “tim
-1 id counsels” which at one time threatened to
suspend the great enterprise in which we are
• now engaged, removes in some degree that re
-1 serve which had hitherto been maintained on
. this delicate subject. We cannot doubt that,
i sooner or latter, the *acts will be entirely ascer
i tained and generally known, and that every one
s concerned in these memorable events will go
■ down to h’story with his appropriate badge of
i caution or of valor. Bu-, since this taunt has
■ been throwu out by no less a personage than the
Emperor of the French, and it may for a time
. appear to reflect on the gallantry and well de
, deserved honors of the leaders ot this expedition,
we hasten to add that no one acquainted with
, the facts can for au instant insinuate that the
, slighest want of resolution was at any moment
. discernable in the conduct of Lord Raglan or of
i Admiral Lyons, of General Canrobert, or of Ad
miral Bruat. Throughont the whole course of
i the campaign the conduct of these eminent com
f mandeis has been in every respect wQrthy of
their position and of the flags under which they
■ serve, and the progress of the enterprise is un
questionably due to their energy. If others fal
, tered under the weight of responsibility or the
■ magnitude of the expedition, we believe that they
acted up to the measure of their judgement and
capacity.
i No one knows better than the Emperor ofthe
French that it was his own Cabinet, and among
his own military advisers, that the expedition to
; the Crimea had to encounter the largest amount
of opposition and adverse criticism; for it was
> mainly in consequence ofthe confident and un
, bending resolution of Louis Napolean himself
. that these objections were overcome, and the
proposal to operate against the stronghold of
Russia at Sebastopol carried into effect. We
5 think the firmness displayed by the Emperor on
this point does the highest honor to his judgment
and his courage, and we have never ceased to
give our strenuous support to the same opinion •
’ bu L t lt 15 “ot less important that the brave men
who have most powerfully contributed to con
duct this vast expedition to the walls of Sebasto
pol, and who will shortly, we trust, reap the glo
r rious reward oi their exertions, should not be
confounded with those whose “timid counsels”
might have postponed tae attack.
’ | I From the Paris Journal dcs Debats, Oct. 29 |
French Accounts of the Latest News.
Our positive intelligence from Sebastopol
' comes down to the 14th inst., and is of a most
[ satisfactory nature. If the obstacles are great
: the means employed to overcome them are more'
than adequate to their removal. The fortifica
tions of the Russians are stronger than was at
: i first supposed. The French opened the trenches
on the 10th, by establishing their first parallel at
■ the distance of between 800 and 900 yards from
the walls of the place. The work was very
! difficult, owing to the stony ground and.the rocks
which were met with at every step, but with
l perseverance and good will our soldiers overcame
! every difficulty. Prince MenschikofPs despatch
; es state that the fire was opened on the 17th,
! and that it continued up to tbe 20th. The be
i sieging batteries were constructed near tbe first
l parallel, on the extreme right and the extreme
| left. It does not appear that the centre was to
; be directly attacked, the two extremitier""being
| in reality the important points, either for the at-
I | tack or the defence. The besieging army, in
) J prosecuting the works, intended to defend the
troops against the sorties of an enemy sufficient- | <
ly numerous to effect them with an overwhelm
ing force. It was to provide against an event ;
of that nature that General Canrobert ordered ’
tne construction of a great line, presenting a
front with bastians, armed with 56 guns, divided
into five batteries. That fortification, erected
, on a dominating point on the left of our attack, j
has the double advantage of protecting the i
troops if necessary, at the same time that its
batteries may co-operate with the others in de- j
stroying the external defences of the enemy.
On the same side the navy has constructed a
battery intended to enfilade the Quarantine i
Fort, the form ol which is that of’ a star, and j
which is defended by a smaller lort, erected a j
little higher up on a rock. The establishment |
of that battery was recommended by Admiral !
Bruat, after the perilous reconnoissauce he effec- .
ted along the coast at the herd of the crew of the
Roland. The destruction of the batteries of the
Quarantine would be an important advantage, as
the port of that name would be in some measure
opened to us. Inthe meantime, the battery of
Admiral Bruat, armed with heavy guns from
the fleet, manned by excellent gunners, will bat
ter the forts ar.d other defences of the enemy
; opposite to us on the left. At the right extre
mity, the English were only able to open the
j trenches at a distance of 1200 yards, on account
i of the nature of the ground, and because they had
before them considerable fortifications, which
i covered the great ravine of the harbor and suburb
;of Karabinaid. On the whole the siege wiii be
difficult and glorious. On the 15tb we were still
at the first parallel and the preliminary works.
But when the troops shall be lodged in the se
cond parallel, where other batteries will be con
structed at a distance of 300 or 400 yards, the
I energy ofthe means of attack will become more
} formidable. A third and last phasis will then
; remain—the attack close to the brink of the ditch
I —and at that point the attack will become over
whelming and altogether irresistible.

Reinforcements to the number of 4,000 were
to be sent from England within a week, (Oct.

i 30,0u0 infantry, with the usual proportion of
cavalry and artillery. “Without” (sayrthe Lon
; i don Observer) “being too much disposed to take
a gloomy view of the subject, it is impossible to
deny that great casualities must have taken place
i in an army of little more than 30,000 —from war
and pestilence— to require to be recruited by
4,000 men to fill up the deficiencies caused in the
ranks. So it is, however.” The regiments lately
i arrived from Canada muster no more than 500 to
, 600 men, and must be recruited during the Win
i ter so as to be ready by Spring. The bounty on
> enlistment is now £6 sterling per cavalry soldier,
and £6 15s. sterling for infantry, and the stan
card of size is reduced on inch.

j By the mail Irom Hong Kong, Sept. 11, at Don
't j don, we learn that Canton is still held by the
, Imperialists, but constant fighting had been going
j| on with varying success. It was thought, how
. j ever, that the Imperialists might be able to re
i ; tain the city. Fa9tan was yet in the hands of
. j the insurgents. The province was wholly in
e j tested with banditti, acting in separate bodies,
t i and interrupting all internal trade and inter
-8 course. Attempts were made by the teamen to
£ open communication with shipping-places on the

! different parties to treat with, and after ail no
I real security, and consequently there had been
8 | no fresh arrivals ot tea. The river was full of
- pirates and some of the forts w ere in the hands
:of the insurgents. Trade in imports was com
-5 : pletely at a stand still.

, i Dr. Rae’s Journal.—The following are ex
; tiacts from Dr. Rae’s journal: “On the morning
' of the 20th we were met by a very intelligent
| Esquimaux driving a dog-sledge, laden with
. musk-ox beef. This man at once consented to
’ accompany U 3 two days’ journey, and in a few
f minutes had deposited his load on tne snow, and
was ready to jt>in us. Having explained to him
j my object, he said that the road by which he
, had come was the best for us, and having light
; cned the man’s sledges, we travelleJ with more
. I facility.
( "We were now joined by another of the na
tives, who had been absent seal hunting yester
| : day, but being anxious to see us, had visited our
snow house early this morning, and then follow
j ed up our track. This man was very communi
! cative.arid on putting to him the usual questions
j ; as to his having seen ‘ white man’ before, or
>! any ships or boats, he replied in the negative ;
' but said that a party of ‘ Kablounans ’ had died
of starvation a long distance to the west of where
we then were, and beyond a large river. He
! stated he did not know the exact place, that he
i had never been there, and that he could not ac
l i company us so far. The substance ofthe infor
t j mation then and subsequently obtained irom va
,; rious sources was to the following effect:
: “In tbe spring, four winters past (1850), while
* some Esquimaux families were killing seals near j
t | the north shore of a large island, named in Ar
i , rowsmith’s charts King William’s Land, about
t j forty wh*te men were seen travelling in com- !
i . pany southward over the ice, and dragging a i
r i boat and sledges with them. They were passing !
s along the west shore of the above named island, j
i None ot the party could speak the Esquimaux j
■ language so well as to be understood, but by signs '
the natives were led to believe that the ship or I
, ships had been crushed by ice, and that they 1
were now going to where they expected to find j
; deer to shoot. I* rom the appearance ot the men— 1
all of whom, witfe the exception of an officer,
i were hauling on the drag-ropes of the sledge and
looked thin—they were then supposed to be get
ting short of provisions, and they purchased a
amall seal or peace of seal Irom the natives. The
officer was described as being a tall, atout, mid
dle-aged man. When their day’s journey ter
minated, they pitched tents to iest in.
At a later date the same season, but previous
to the disruption of the ice, the corpses of some
thirty persons and some giaves were discovered
on the continent, and five dead bodies on an is
land near it, about a day’s journey to the north
west of the mouth of a large stream, which can
be no other than Back’s Great Fish river (named
by the Esquimaux Oot-koohi-calik), as its de
scription and that of the low 7 shore in the neigh
borhood of Point Ogle and Montreal Island
agrees exactly with that of Sir George Back.
Some of the bodies were in a tent or tents ; oth
ers under the boat, which had been turned over
to form a shelter: and some lay scattered about
in different directions Os those seen on the
island it was supposed that one was that of an
officer (chief), as he had a telescope strapped
over his shoulders, and a double-barrelled gun lay
underneath him.
“From the mutilated state of many of the
bodies and the contents of the kettles, it is evi
dent that our wretched countrymen had been
driven to the dread alternative of cannibalism
as a means of sustaining life. A few of the un
fortunate men must have survived until the ar
rival of the wild fowl, (say until the end of May) i
as shot were heard and fresh t one 3 and feathers I
of geese were noticed near the scene of the sad !
event.
“There appears to have been an abuudant j
store of ammunition, as the gunpowder was emp- i
tied by the natives in a heap on the ground, out j
of the kegs or cases containing it, and a quanti- i
ty ofshot and bail was found below high water |
mark, having probably been left on the ice close ;
to the beach before the spring commenced.—
There must have been a number of telescopes, '
guns, (several of them double-barrelled,) watch- ;
es, compasses, &c., all oi which seem to have ;

Our City.
Augusta has again resumed its usual appear
j ance of business and activity 7 , and we once more
: recognize our city in its accustomed aspect.—
; Trade, in all its branches has opened with fine
prospects for a successful season, and our business
men are actively engaged in supplying the de
mands of their numerous customers. The stocks
Oi our merchants are large, and they are piepared
to supply their friends, at the lowest, market
prices, with every thing they may desire in their
respective lines of business.
Augusta is now perfectly healthy, and uo one
need fear to visit our erty. It is true, as we pre
dicted several days since, a few stragling cases of
bellow fever have occurred, and probably will
continue to occur among those who have either
remained 111 town during the whole epidemic
season, and have thus imbibed the seeds of the
disease, which only wait for circumstances to de
velops them, and also aaiong those of the absen
tees, who have, prematurely, returned to the city.
Had the latter awaited our announcement of the
safety of their so doing, soma who have since
slept to the of death .night have
been now alive.
Stiii it is cheering to see the citizens returning
to their usual avocations, and to witness the re
newed activity with which they have resumed
their daily toil. If is cheering to us, whose ears
have been so long accustomed to the sound of dy
ing groans, and the voices of wailing mourners,
to listen to the merry laugh of youth, and to hear
the voice of mirth once more echoing among us.
God grant it may never again be our lot to pass
through such scenes as those we have witnessed
during the recent pestilence, and may our beau
tiful city long be spared another visitation from
the dreadful pestilence by which we have so
lately been invaded.
• Another Death.
Mr. I. S. T. Parish, the eldesl: son of one of
our oldest citizens, Col. G. F. Parish, died yes
terday, from Yellow Fever. Mr.' Parish has
been absent from our city during the prevalence
of the recent epidemic, and returned about two
weeks since. Owing, no doubt, to his prema
ture return, he contracted the fatal disease, and
all medical aid which could be procured was un
availing. He was buried yesterday evening
with military honors, by the Oglethorpe Infan
try, of which Company he was a member. Mr.
Parish was much esteemed among his acquain
tances as an upright and amiable young man, and
his loss is regretted by those who knew him.
Election for Major.
At an election held yesterday for Major, we
understand O. E- Cashin was declared elected by
13 majority. We further lean that the election
has been protested
It was amusing to witness the scene. The
| oath administered and read from the ordinances
; of this city, was the same as administered
i to voters for Congressmen and members of the
' Legislature! We think the protest should be
! sustained, as the oath required of voters (and
| which many refused to take, although legally eri- j
: titled to vote) was illegal. Who will say, after
| this, that any one can become a Georgia Major?
New York Gubernatorial Election.
The New York Times of the 15th inst, fig- ;
ures up, with official returns of twenty-six coun
ties, a majority for Mr. Clark of 247. Since the !
official returns of twelve additional counties have
been received, which, upon the basis of the I
Times’ table, increases Clark's majority to 895. |
The returns received in New York on Tues- ;
day night, being official from a considerable num
ber of counties, have changed the aspact of the
'governor’s vote, and placed Mr Seymour once
more in advance of the candidate who so closely
contests his election. The vote, according to
the New York Herald now is:
Horatio Seymour 129.648
Myron H. Clark 129,343 !
Seymour over Clark 395 j
The New York Tribute gives Seymour a ma
jority of 2, 188, and says it hopes to reduce this
j a little in the counties yet to be officially heard
j from, but not to overcome it, and reiterates the j
j expression of its faith that Gov. Seymour is re- j
j elected.
It is now rendered almost certain that it will j
! require the official canvass to decide the raomeii
j tous question of who is elected Governor.
Wear your learning like your watch, in a pri
vate pocket, and don’t pull it out to show that
you have one; but if you are asked what
o’clock it i*, thee tsil it.
The Steam Ship Jewess. —The steam ship!
Jewess, recently wrecked, was an old vessel
built at Baltimore in 1839, a.id was formerly em
ployed in running between Philadelphia and
Baltimore. Her hull was formerly burnt to tbe
water’s edge, and in 1852 was re-built with 25
feet additional length and an additional deck.—
Captain Wright owned one quarter of the ves
sel, but had no insurance. He thinks, however,
that the owners are partially insured. Her car
go was worth about SIOO,OOO, partly insured in
Baltimore. The Jewess left New 7 York lor Ha
vana on the 4th inst., and had heavy weather
during ail the passage there and up to the time
of her going ashore. Tne United States mails
were all saved.
Liberal Donation.— The Hon. D. S. Gregory
has presented the Young Men’s Christian As
sociation of Jersey city, lately organized, with
2,000 volumes of literary, religious, scientific and
miscellaneous works.
Change of Fashion. —lt is stated to be no
! longer fashionable in New York to trail a quar
| ter of a yard of rich silk along the pavement, at
i the heels o! a lady. The streets will be tbe fouler
: from the change of fashion.
Noah Bridges, Esq., one of the proprietors of
1 Jones’Hotel, in Chestnut streeet, Philadelphia
I died on Monday morning, after an illness which
’ has confined him to his bed for three weeks. Mr.

| lie, having been formerly proprietor of the United
j States Hotel, afterwards of the Merchants’, and
for eight years, of Jones’.
“Important New 7 s from Ireland.” —The
| Irish Republican Union held a meeting in New
i York on Thursday evening, when Mr. Molloy
j announced that he had much pleasure in stating
i “that intelligence, having direct and important
| influence on their interests, was received from
; Dublin, lrom parties of high standing and prom
! inence. The nature and purport of the tidings
j it was deemed best to withhold at present from
j publication.”
i Mr. Kerin said “the news from Ireland was of
I vast importance, and if they had any hope or any
! intention to serve Ireland, let them get a musket
j or earn the piiee of it, and enrol themselves in
this organization, step on board some staunch
bark and go manfully to the rescue of the 'Old
Green Is'e.’ ” The nature of this intelligence
has not leaked out yet.
Expensive Nose Polling. —On Wednesday
last, in the Justices Court at Boston, Timothy
Singleton recovered fifty dollars from John Rear
don, for an assault upon his nasal organ.
Horrible JSuicide— The Dayton (Ohio) Ex
press notices a shocking suicide of a young mam
who, in a temporary fit of insanity, laid himself
lengthways on the rail, and the locomotive wheels
traversed the entire length of his body, smashing
him flat.
Death of Lord Dunalley. —One of the old
est of the Irish representative Prit
tie, (Baron Dunalley.) died on the 19th of Octo
-1 her, at the family mansion, Kiiboy, near Nenagb,
4 k in the county of Tipperary.
Illinois Election. —The following despatch
(says the Baltimore Sun) was received at Wash
ington yesterday, purporting to come from a re
sponsible source. Possibly the signature nuy
f have been forced. If the statement be correct
the previous returns from fllinois have been
• wonderfully exaggerated :
: “ Chicago , 8 A. AT, Nov. 13.—Tbe raturuns
, from Illinois look well. Richardson, Allen, Har
ris and Marshall, all true Nebraska Democrcts,
are elected by decided majorities. The Senate
■ will bo democratic; the House doubtful. Gen
, etal Shields will be his own successor in the United
, j States Seattle.’*
i j The Congress of American Diplomatists
j 1 at Brussels.— The New York Times has what
purports to be a correct account of the doings of
; this gathering. The project of tbe meeting was
. due mainly to the outbreak oi the Spanish revo
j lution, and to the fact that, after the installation
j of the new Spanish Cabinet, it was found that
. we could not purchase Cuba, and that the diplo
matic independence of the Captain General
r x would not be conceded. The Congress assem
bles, more particularly, for tbe purpose of pre
. paring a report on the condition of popular sen
[ timent in Europe. The Times gives the follow
ing as the conclusions arrived at:
j The Ambassadors agree in reporting the
absence of democratic feeling in Europe. In
* Spain there are no republicans. Mr. Sickles went
purposely to Madrid, and reports this as tbe re*,
suit of his observation. France is lost in admi
ration of its prudent and practical government.
1 Revolution in Paris is out of the question. Aus
. tria has succeeded in gaining the hearts of her
5 subjects. Even Kossuth himself is quite forgot
ten by the people, the Magyar aristocracy being
1 his only adherents. Poland has no chances, ex
» cept in the suite of monarchic combinations, and
Italy is completely tired of the madness of Maz
zinaism. So of the rest. Europe is satisfied. —
The people of the old continent are not ripe for
freedom.
Such, we are told, will be the spirit that will
pervade the intelligence sent, or to be sent, home
by our Ministers in Europe, and these opinions
are given as the explanation ol tbe belief that
our government would meet no support from any
part of Europe, in the attempt to gain possession
of Cuba. Spain will not sell the island, and there
! is no feeling of democratic sympathy with this
j country wnich would support us in seeking to
effect its conquest by any other means.
j Valuable Public Document.— A correspon-
I dent of the Carolinian says that among the doc
i uments ordered to be printed by Congress during
1 last session, and now only issuing from the Wash
i ington press, is one to which attention ought to
!be tlrawn. It is:
| “ The Different Systems of Penal Codes in Eu

j Run on a Bank et Washington. —The hold
: ers of the notes of Messrs. Selden, Withers & Co.,
| bankers in Washington, commenced a severe run

The Latest Accounts from the New Era. j
The office of Messrs. Duncan & Company _
was crowded from the moment of opening yes
terday morning with the friends and relatives of
the unfortunate passengers on board the wrecked
ship New Era. Business was almost suspended,
owing to the necessity ot replying to their sor
rowtul inquiries for information.
The foilrwing despatch was received by
Messrs. Duncan:—
Lon(j Branch, Nov. 14, 7 A. M —One hun
dred and thirty passengers were landed this mom- i
ing. and fifty dead bodies have been picked up.
There are two tug boats here, but they cannot i
assist us any.
A number of persons leit the city in order to j
go down to Long Branch, to look alter their
friends, and find if they were alive or amongst
the dead.
The poor people here by whom the passen- 1
gers weref expected are greatly excited.
Captain Fountain, ot the steamtug Hector, has
just arrived in the city, having leit the wreck at !
halt past nine this morning, up to which time ;
the ship lay as before, full of water, the masts j
standing, and the sea making a steady breach
over her. The captain, officers and crew, with |
the exception of the steward, were saved, and •:
ol the four hundred souls en board only one bun- |
died and two are saved* They were taken off j
and landed on the beach by the surf boats from j
the beach. Captain F. says there are a great ;
number ot dead bodies lashed to the rigging. The
lighter schooner is at anchor near by.
Letter from, the Underwriters’ Agent.
The following letter from the agent of the
insurers was received yesterday by Elwood j
Walter, Esq., the Secretary of the Board of Uu •
df rwriters :
Deal, Nov. 14, 1854.—1 arrived here last eve
ning, and endeavored to board the ship, but could j
not succeeded, owing to the heavy surf. I found
her full of water, broadside on the beach.andthe j
rigging lull of passengers. She is the New Era.
of Bath, from Bremen for New-Vork. with 384
steerage and ten cabin passengers. Her cargo !
consisting of 600 tons of chalk, taken in at Lon
don, and the balance of Bremen goods. She is
principally insured in Boston. About 140 of the
passengers and crew are saved. There were 410
all told. Her decks and rigging are filled with
the mutilated remains of the dead, presenting
the most horrying spectacle I ever witnessed.
The inhabitants here are doing everything in
their power for the survivors.
I shall remain here with the Excelsior, to save
6ails,rig-ingand whatever is possible.
She came on Saturday morning at 6 o’clock.
The captain mistook the soundings for Long Is
land. He informs me he sounded at 5.30 A. M.
in sixteen fathoms. The spars, with close reel
topsails set.
There is too much sea on lo do anything at
present. J. L. BOWNE.

‘ Ihe President still suspends the appointment

, tedly a good reason for this. I hazard little in
■. saying that: the President has determined to
make the issue with the Mormons, to see at once
whether they intend to maintain the attitude of
defiance to the Federal authority which their
present Governor and Spiritual leader has assum
. ed for them. Young certainly will not be re-ap
pointed, and ought not to be. If his successor is
, to have a struggle with the people of Utah, it is
’ better that he should go out armed with all the
moral power of the Government possible ; and to
this end probably he will not be appointed until
the senate is in session to confirm the nomination
. at once. A rare combination of wisdom, firm
cess and courage will be indispensable to be suc
cesful nominee for this important station.’

OBITUARY.
the2lst of Ootober l«t, near Faney
oounty <*a., Dr. Erwin H. Oakman,
ia the outh year of his age.
Dr. Oakman was a native of Barnwell Distriot,
b - y • b ? t his you;h was spent in Augusta, Ga ,of
which place his family than were, and are now,
citizens. He graduated at the University of Penn
sylvania, in the Class ot 1840, and in tho same
year commenced the practice of his profession, in
Columbia county, Georgia. Subsequently be re
moved to tho place of his decease, when battling
with that peslilence which has swept our devoted
land as with the breath of the destroying angel, he
was himself stricken down, and after an illness of
five days, the last two o:' which he was insensible,
yielded his soul to the merciful God who gave it.
The professional worth and sterling integrity of
tho deceased, his simplicity and manliness of char
acter, his loyal and affectionate heart, won the es
teem and love of all who knew him. And by none
of his numerous and scattered friends is his un
timely death more deeply deplored than by those
among whom he had recently cast his 'ortunes. It
will boa gratification to all who knew and loved
him, to learn that every attention and kindness
which an affectionate friendship could suggest,
was lavished upon the closing scenes of his life
and that he gavo unmistakable evidences that he
was not unprepared to meet his God. A wife and
two i*fant hoy* furyiy« him.

TO those of my friends who now, anil are dis

earnestly request you to send your Grits to the Mill
from daylight till 12 o’clock. You will at once
see the great importance to me of this request. It
is a very great inconvenience to be raising and

as I have but one power ; either the Saw Mill or
Machinery must occupy this power after 12 o’clock.
Menoe it is, I respectfully make the request, and,
solicit your generous support. Those who prefttf
to come in the evening, can do so, and call for the
Meal next morning, which I should greatly prefer,
as it gives closer quarters to work in at night than
at the Saw.
