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 days on tbe road from Y’ama to Fienoa, and it ■conveys a very incomplete notion ot the opera tions which commenced on the 17th. borne •nips of the French and English squadrons, in- Including Admiral Hamelin’s flag-ship, the V'rile de Paris, and Admiral Lyon’s flag-ship, Agamem undoubtedly took part in that first attack, and the combined squadrons lost about thiee hun dred men in killed acid wounded; but we are left 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. Great Britain.—We have nothing to relate beyond a few scraps of news ; The grand concert in the Sydenham Crystal I Palace, in aid of the fund for the wounded, had | passed off with eclat. Napoleon Illd’s favorite ! band of the regiment of Guides was the main attraction of the programme. The loss by the recent fire in Molyneux’s ; warehouses, Liverpool, is set down at nearly ! £200.000 sterling. Admiral Arthur is dead, aged 75. He entered the navy in 1788 as captain’s servant. An anti-Mormon society has been organized in Dublin. During the performance of worship in the South Parish Chapel, Cork, a cry arose that the gallery was falling. A rush was made tor the door, and twenty-eight persons were badly injur ; ed by being trampled upon. Reinforcements to the number of 4,000 were to be sent from England within a week, (Oct. j 30,) to make up for the casualties of the cam paign. This again brings up the British contin ; gent to the strength originally sent out—namely: 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. 1 Lord John Russell had been entertained at a ■ i banquet by the city of Bristol. In his after * dinner speech he gave a detail of the various : steps that have been taken in the war, and con l eluded by saying—“It is no use, at present, to > j speak of peace, until, in the course of war, we j have the means of a peace which will be safe ■ and lasting.” 1 Among the nurses sent out with Miss Night - ingale to the hospital at Scutari are the Hon Miss , i Erskine, and other ladies of high social position. ; A letter to the Times finds faidt with the L Emperor Napoleon’s expression in his letter of ‘ condolence to Madame St. Arnaud, that “St. f | Arnaud in spite of timid counsels,” &c. “Timid [ ! counsels,” the writer urges, can only apply to the | j counsels given by the British Admirals or Gen ' erals, and le calls on the British Government to | demand an explanation. ; Spain.—Gen. Garcia Camba is appointed Cap : tain General of Porto Rico, in place of Gen. 2 | Nozagaray. It is said that the King of Naples offered Queen ' t Christina an asylum ir. his dominions, and that ■ she retused, on account of the position occupied u by Count Montemolin at the Court of Naples. ~ China.—Progress of the Insurection.— 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 . j river, but without success, as there weresomany ! 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. * ! From Shanghai dates are to the 26th August, ' J at which time the insurgents had full possession j -of the city; there was activity in the export l \ trade. Ningpo, August 2S, was all quiet. At , j Too-chow-foo, the export of Teas was acctively j i going forward, and several ships awaiting cargos. I There was no appearance of trouble in the in * | terior. Teas were advancing in price, and the I crop was not so abundant as at one time it was ' i reported to be. At Amoy, all was quiet, and at ' Namoa affairs were calming, as two of the rebel chiefs had recently died. It was understood that ’ the Plenipotentiaries of the three Powers would l set out immediately for Pekin. It was also re- ported that an attempt would be made to open I uji trade on the Yan-tse-Kiang and at Nankin with an aimed force. Oa 25th August, the j. British Admiral Stirling was at VVoosung, with | steamer Encounter and Barracoutra, intending j- 1 to proceed to Japan. The Russian squadron had ‘ ! been at Quelpaert, but had sailed north. Com j tnodore Perry was passenger to Southampton in the mail steamer. The clipper ship Comet had ' arrived from Liverpool at Hong Kong, in 85 ’ i day ®' Sir John Franklin. , 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 ; been broken up, as I saw pieces of these different j j articles with the natives, and I purchased as ma- : | ny as possible, together with somj silver spoons | a»d forks, an order of merit in the form of a star, and a small silver plate engraved ’Sir John Franklin, K. C. B.’ “Enclosed is a list of the principal articles ! bought, with a note <4 the initials, and a rough ! pen-and-ink sketch of the crests on the forks and I spoons, ihe articles themselves 1 shall have ‘ the honor of handing over to the honorable secre- ! tary on my arrival i.i London. “None of the Esquimaux with whom I had I communicated saw the 'white’ men, either when living or after death; nor had they ever been at i the place where the corpses were found, but had j their information from those who had been there, ; ami who had seen the party when travelling on > the ice. 0 h lorii what ! couui learn, there is no reason j to suspect that any violence had been offered to I the sufferers b? the natives.” 3 AUG LISTaT^EO^Ia^ SUNDAY MO&mNG; NOV. 19.

See first page Daily, this morning. 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.

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. i Bridges was well known to the travelling pub | 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 i rope,and a Report on the Administrative Changes in France since the Revolution of 184 S, by H. S. ! Sanford, late Charge d’Affairs of the U.

Selden, Withers & Co., | bankers in Washington, commenced a severe run j upon them on Monday, in eonsequenoe.it is said, ' of the brokers in Baltimore having on Saturday j refused to receive them, thereby caaeing a rumor !to get abroad that the bank had failed. The Star | s »y s ’ | “As the notes presented were held in small quantitiA, we piesume that up to noon not more than fifteen thousand dollars were so drawn out of their vaults. All that had been presented up | to that time were duly honored, payment being | made as called for on their face. | “ The partners in this establishment are John ! Withers, of Alexandria, Va., G. W. C. Whiting ! and Robert W. Latham, of this city, and L. P. Bayne, Esq., of Alexandria. The first named is | certainly a man of great wealth—worth, at least, $600,000 in bona fide property. The rest of the' 1 members of the firm are regarded in this com j rnunity as men of means, independent of their ; capital invested in this bank. A member of the firm assures us that with the assets of the house. . * s at least $300,000 above and beyond any and all liabilities of the concern.” | Mr. Selden, formerly known as one of the firm, with-drew from it some time since, bat left I his name to be used by it as usuai.

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.

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.

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.’ FUNERAL NOTICE. The Friends and Acquaintance of Mrs. V.

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.
