Gglish loss on ship board was, two Lieu- Jbase and Madden, killed, and sixteen wounded. In all, 44 men killed and mued. The ships were considerably by shot and shell. reneh loss was 30 killed, and 186 wound evening of the 26tb, (the day 6UC be engagement at Balaklava, the ac which was received per last steamer), ans, 8,000 strong, made a sortie from the Sebastopol, as well as from the direction tlava, but were repulsed with great —one thousand men, it is stated, being upon the fie'd. ling to the latest telegraphic advices, the attack upon the fortifications from ad not been renewed, the bombardment heights was vigorously continued, and ranttne and Constantine had been razed, e Southern tower and other forts had nolished. wn, it is stated, was also on fire in thiee places. It was evident that Sebastopol ; hold out much longer, and according count, the assault would be made on id or third of November, legraphic despatch had been published ;k house, to the effect that the place had f been captured; but although this is by many, it requires confirmation, legraphic despatches published in Lou ie morning of the 7th, state that the Sebastopol is a mass of ruins; that the Hbsseurs kill all the artillery men who emselves at the embrasures, and that 1 the night showers of bails were poured orts, leaving the enemy so possibility ng disasters. The Russian fleet had sought shelter under the buildings alongside the quays, but the Allies were about to fire upofltehem from new batteries, with red-hot balls. The London Gazette Extraordinary was pub lished on the morning ot the 7tb, w'ith further despatches from Lord Ragland. Lord Dunkellin was taken prisoner by the Russians during the recent engagement. r* The Russians had all withdrawn from the p> forts in the vicinity of Balaklava. Ltrd Raglan states that Menschikoff is not in Sevastopol, but with the main body of the army in the plains North of Bachsi-Serai. It is stated that the French have lost 200 men by explosions, &c , while the English loss is un- K der 100 killed and wounded. As both the English and French forces have been much cut up by disease and losses in en k gagements, reinforcements are urgently called 1 for, both Jfrom England and France, and they IK, : - are forthcoming. r ; During the past two weeks about 4 000 men L have been sent out from England, including *-- - amongst them detachments of regiments which recently left Canada. The reinforcements will make up the number of British infantry in the Crimea to 30,000 men. ► The French reinforcements are on a still lar . ger scale. Large supplies of winter clothing have been forwarded to the troops. Thirteen out of the twenty-four iron cylin ders, which have been ordered at Woolwich for conveyance to Sevastopol, to blow up the sunken ships at the mouth ot the harbor, have been completed and shipped for their destination. Each cylinder wi'l contain 1,000 lbs of ; powder, s which is to be ignited by a battery. One hundred and twenty gun boats, with two |p- —< heavy guns in each, have been ordered by the War office, together with fort}’ floating batteries, with seventy guns in each, [making a total of 2,800 guns, to be ready in the Spring for an at ‘ tack upon Cronstadt. A camp of 10,000 men is to be formed at Al dershot, to be ready for the Spring campaign in the Baitic. 1 Vienna, Saturday, Nov. 4th.—Advices from Odessa of the Ist of November, state that up to V the 29th of Oct., nothing decisive had taken place as regards Sevastopol. The advices add that the Allies attacked General Liprandi’s divi- V, sion on the 27th ulb., but the result was un known. Viknna, Sunday, Nov. sth.—The commanders j X of the expedition to the Crimea held a Council of War on board the Mogador, on the 27th, to determine the day for the general attack, and to deliberate upon future operations, s- . . Advices lrom the Crimea via Warsaw, up to / the 27th of October, state that General Lipranui y\ f had retired to the head quarters at Bakscbi Sarai. W / The entire Russian reiutorcements are reported y? to be seventy tbousaudrnen. .4 Berlin, Sunday, November sth —Advices \[ j from St. Petersburg, dated the 4th or November, d give news from Sevastopol of the 29th of Octo ber, stating that the Allies had completed their second parallel, and advanced their batteries. * General Dannenberg’s reinforcements were ’ ■ expected to join Prince Menschikoff on the 3d * % of November. Paris, Sunday, November sth.—Advices from Maiseilles of the 4th inst., announce the arrival there ot the Louis d’Or, with news from Con stantinople to the 25th ot October, and from thg Crimea to the 21st. The Albion had arrived W j Constatrnople lor repairs. k TheMoriiteur publishes the following :' “The Minister of War has received fiom General Can robert, Commander-in-Chief of the army in the East, the following report, dated at head-quar ters. Before Sebastopol, Oct. 18, 1854. Monaieur Le Marechal—Yesterday, at sunrise, w« opened fire in concert with the English ar my, and matters were going on well when the explosion of a powder magazine belonging to a battery, which unhappily was a large one, cre- L ated some disturbance to our attack. This ex- I plosion had more effect as our batte r ies were ac : The enemy took advantage of it to increase their file, and aPer consuming the general command Ul g the artillery, 1 deemed it advisable to suspend our fife to repair our damage, and complete on | our right, by new batteries neaiej the English k jy*!* muclAo be regretted, but it cannot be help ed- and I am taking every means to render it as ! SI; abort as poss.ble. The city has withstood he fire much better than was expected. The en ciente, in its enormous development,in a straight line carrying all that it can receive in heavy ca lrom the fleet, allows it to prolong th" Etagirfe. On the i 7ih our troops took possession plateau situated in the front ot the point of attack, called the Mast Bastion, and now oc cupy it. This evening we construct there a masked battery of twelve guns, and, if possible, a second battery at the extreme right above the declivity. All our means of attack are concen trated on this bastion, and will, 1 hope, soon clear it, with the assistance of the English bat teries, which take it in the left flank. Yester day, about 10 A. M., the Allied fleets attacked the exterior batteries of the place, but I have not yet received the report, so as to enable me to give an account of the results of that attack. The English batteries are in the best possible condi tion. They have received nine new mortars, which will have great effect. Yesterday, in the battery which surrounds thetower situated on the left of the tower, an immense explosion took place, which must have done great injury to the enemy, for since then the fire of that battery has been very slack, and this morning only a few guns were abie to fire from it. I have no precise news of the Russian army. There is nothing to iudicate that it has modified the position in which it awaits reinforcements. I have receiv ed nearly all the infantry reinforcements I ex pected from Gallipoli and Varna. General Le Vaillant has just arrived with his “ Etat Major,” which increases to five divisions of infantry the army I command. The health of the troops is very satisfactory, their moral condition excellent, and we are full of confi dence. Austria and Prussia. —lt appears very doubtful, after all, whether Austria and Russia will not have recourse to the bloody arbitrament of arms in the Kingdom of Poland. Russia has gathered 200,000 men facing the Austrian fron tiers, while Austria has embattled along her frontier from Cracow to the Danube 200,000 men, and 25,000 in the Principalities. Both sides show great activity. The latest news with regard to Prussia is, that on the 29th ultimo, the Czar refused an andience to the Prussian Ambassador at St. Petersburgh. Asia. —The only news with respect to the ar my iu Asia is, that General Nicolas is reported from St. Petersburg, Nov. 4th, to have gained a victory over Schamyl, near Grosnaga, on the frontier of Circassia. France, &c.—There is no domestic news of interest, and scarcely anything from the conti nent of Europe, except that relating to the war, worth noticing. The order prohibiting Mr. Soule from passing through France had been withdrawn. By the Canada. The War. —Sevastopol holds stoutly out. The substance of the news is that the allies had met with an important check, and had not made much progress. General Canrobert sends offici ally to the French Minister of War, under date ot the 22d October, that “ the French approaches continue to advance according to previous plans. The difficulties met with are two-fold, viz: The rocky nature of the soil, and secondly the heavy caliber of the enemy’s artillery, while the French can only depend on their 68-pounders and 12- inch mortars. This explains the delay.” “On the night of the 20th, the enemy attempt ed to spike the French guns but failed, and the Russians who did enter the batteries were kill ed. The French losses are not so great as might be expected, and the wounded are all .sent to Constantinople, where the hospitals are in an effective condition. The health of the army is on the whole satisfactory, although sickness has appeared among the gunners from the ships. (Signed) Canrobert.” The total French loss from the 17th to the 28th October was 500. Private accounts in the Moniteur contain the French narrative to Oct. 30. On the 25th ult, 20,000 Russians attacked the French rear, which was defended by the Turks from the redoubts, and took possession of them. The English commenced an attack, and sent word to Gen. Canrobert, who hastened the se cond division and a squadron of Chasseurs to their relief. The united French and English cavalry repulsed the enemy by a brilliant charge, in which the combat was sustained five minutes with the sword. The positions were retained. The English loss was 400, and the French loss not quite so great. MenschikofPs statement is, that General Lip randi took lour redoubts, two of which he des troyed, and the other two he retained and forti fied. The Russians estimate the loss ot Eng lish cavalry at five hundred. Sixty English prisoners were taken. On the 26th of October the French had ad vanced their trenches within three hundred yards of the Russian works, and the Chasseurs de Vincennes killed all the Russian artillery men who showed themselves at the embra sures. From Odessa it i 3 stated that an assault was looked for by the besieged during the night of the 28tb. The Banshee steamer arrived at Constantino ple with news to the 30th. The cannonades were then very violent on both sides, and the damage was great. On the Ist of November the siege work were so far advanced, that the third parallel was opened. It would be complete in eight or ten days. Menchikoff reports, via St. Pertersburg, that up to the evening of the 3d of November the siege continued without a result. The fire from the English side had became weaker. The damage done to the Russian works was not much and was immediately repaired. Nothing can be attempted agrinst the northern side of Sevasto pol. The communication remains open. It was reported (doubtfully) that the Grand Duke Constantine was in the City of Sevastopol. The English reports say that the city of Se bastopol is in ruins, that unburied corpses poison the air, and that the commanders of the allied army refused Menschikoff the three hours he asked to bury the dead. The Russian loss since the commencement of the siege is estimated at 12,066 men. The English assert that Menschi koff hoisted the Hospital flag over his principal magazine, and that they fired shell upon it and blew it up. The Tuikish Bulletin (doubtful) says that a distuibance had occurred within Sebastopol on the part of the people, who wished to surrender, and the Polish deserters say that a meeting ol i troops had occurred to plunder the spirit-stores, j- The blockade is ordered to be extended to all j the Russian ports in the B’ack Sea and Azoff. London. Friday, 8 P. M.—-There is no later news from the Crimea. The Moniteur of this morning publishes a dispatch received by Gov ernment from Gen. Canrobert, dated at Head quarters, Sebastopol, Oct. 28, saying the works of the siege are being On the 25th, the Russian army appeared on the Plains of Balaklava, but the battle which took place was of no pratici lar consequence, although the En glish experienced" some loss in a charge which was repulsed, by them with great vigor. On the following morning 5,000 men left Sebastopol and ! attacked the left wing of the British troops, but were beaten back. The Russians then rallied again and repeated the attach, but were again defeated with considerable loss. The Baltic fleet is still in Kielbay—no sailing | orders having been received. The steamers are | fully coaled and ready for sea. France —The Paris Moniteur has a concilia | tory editorial on the subject of Mr. Soule passing | through France. All available troops are being hurried off to the Crimea. The following official dispatch is published : Paris, Friday.—The visit of Lord Palmerston to this city will be an official mission concerning the policy of France and England in case of | an attack on Cuba by the United States. Latest by Telegraph. London, Saturday,lo A. M.—A telegraphic dispatch from Marseilles says it is certain that 1 in the action at Balaklava on the 25tb, conse- I qent on the Russian surprise ot the Turkish and English position, 400 British infantry and 600 British cavalry were annihilated—looo men and 800 horses being killed in three hours. The numbers giveaare based upon the force that went into the field, and those that returned from it.— | The Russians say they took only 60 prisoners; the rest are missing—killed, no doubt. Six hun dred British light infantry were engaged, and only 198 returned! 800 English cavalry were engaged, and only 200 returned!! The 17th Lancers were almost destroyed. All the Turkish cavalry and two more French ; divisions have been ordered to the Crimea forfch i with. The English fleet is not to be again tried be ; fore tbe walls of Sevastopol. Latest IntUlegence. — Boston, Nov. 24—10 j, r. m. —Shortly before six o’clock this evening, the steamship Canada came in collision with the steamer Ocean, hence for Hallowell, Maine, striking her amidships. The Ocean took fire, and soon after her boiler exploded. Several lives are lost. The steamship Canada is now anchored off Rainsford Island, and the steamer Neptune has been sent down to her to bring on ber mails, and will probably reach here with them at twelve o’clock to-night. The collision between tbe Canada and the Ocean occurred shortly after five o’clock, near the lower light he use. The weather was not very thick at the time, and the cause of the disaster remains unexplained. The steamers Forest City, for Portland, and the Boston for Bangor, took off the passengers of the Ocean, about eighty in number. The collision upset the stoves on board the Ocean, in consequence of which she took fire and soon afterwards followed the explosion of one hf her boilers. A man, a woman and a child, three years old, were picked up after being drowned—names unknown. Hiram L. Wing, one of the messengers of Car penter's Express, is badly scalded. Charles Pope, a colored man, had his thigh broken, and his wife is badly injured. These are all the serious casualties that have yet transpired, but It is feared many more have lost their lives by drowning. The Iright of the passengers was excessive. The Forest City returned herewith the dead and injured, and the Boston, with the balance of the passengers proceeded on her way to the East. The Ocean was a large and good boat, and was commanded by Captain Donovan. She j was heavily freighted, and is a total loss. Fire in Marietta. We have the following extra from the Cher | okee Georgian office, giving further particulars. It becomes our painful duty to record one of i the most destructive conflagrations that has ever j occurred in this city. About four o’clock this ; morning a fire was discovered in the btove and Tin Ware Store of Mr. W. L. Wadsworth, which soon communicated to the Cherokee Hall, on one side, and the store known as the ‘Pattillo Buldiug,’ (the store below being unoccupied) on the other. The flames soon communicated to the corner building, and the whole were entirely consumed. The entire loss is about $30,000, of which on : ly a portion was covered by insurance. | Col. Glover’s loss is very heavy, say $12,000 i —insured some 6 or 7.000. Wadsworth loss is $5,000 besides all his books , and papers. No insurance. ’ The goods of Mils & Heath were all saved, also of Mr. Ruede, jeweller. Messrs Welsh & Y'ork lost a portion of their goods. The Signet & Journal office, with all the books and valuable Masonic Library was burnt, loss several thousand dollars. No insurance. The Cherokee Advocate office is entirely con j surned, with a portion of its books. Loss sl,- 500. j The Law offices of Edge & Phillips, and N. E. j Benton, with books and papers, in the second | story of the ‘Benton Building,’ are consumed. ! The loss of Dr’s. Allen, Dentists, and of Mr. 1 j Lalon, Artist, whose offices were in Cherokee J Hall is small. The Masonic Hall and the sa | loon of‘Cato the Tonsor’ in the same building, j are destroyed. The loss of the Benton estate and of the own ers of the Patiilo building, about $5,000 each. ' The Fletcher House, and the old stand of 1 Messrs. Northcutt, now occupied by Mr. Rob ert Baber, were in most eminent danger, and the ’ j latter was saved only by the most extraordina | ry effort. | It is not known how the fire originated. The blow is a most disastrous one to our city, and falls upon many ot our best citizens. The Burning of Judson’s Hotel—Additional Particulars. 1 The building in New York known as Jud son’s Hotel, which was destroyed by fire on Monday, was owned by Harris Stephens, Esq., of Montreal and was insured for $25,000 in va -1 rious offices. It was occupied by J. &C. O’Gt'a dy, of Vermont, whose loss is $50,000, and insur ance $43,000. They bought it from Mr. Judson some time since for $30,000. It was erected about ten years ago, was five stories in height, fronting on Brodway, and extending back to Trinity Place The Commercial says: The fire appears to have originated about eight o’clock in the moving, from some defect | in the furnace which was located in the centre i cellar lor the purpose of heating the house, and | as the flames burned upward, they also burned rapidly sideways towards the front and rear, so that the whole structure was soon in conflagra -1 tion. The boarders and servants were compell ed to make their escape in such haste that most of their clothing and other personal baggage was lost. Several persons who occupied upper rooms had their retreat cut off by fire on the stair-ca ses, and were rescued by means of the firemen’s | ladders. It is believed that all the inmates ! were saved, although it is possible in a crowded 1 j hotel some persons may have perished unnoticed. ’ Scarcely any portion of the furniture was saved. About 180 boarders were stopping here when 1 the fire broke out, and the majority of these met with serious personal losses. Some of them were in bed when the fire made its appearance, : and had to escape with barely a sufficient cov -1 ering to protect them from the cold. One of them lost S6OO in cash. The servants, about twenty in number, lost most of their clothing, and bad to take shelter in the First Ward station-house. Some of the servant girls were the last to remain in the build ing, and had to be rescued from the balcony and front windows by means of ladders- The loss of boarders probably amounts to $20,000. The rear part of Adams & Co.’s express building was damaged to the amount of about SIOO by the falling of the hotel walls. They are insured. A number of valuable stores narrowly escaped, and one or two persons were slightly injured. When the smoke was first seen in the hotel, an old man, a boarder on the fourth floor, made his appearance at a window on Trinity Place, in a state of tbe greatest excitement. He was about to leap out of the window, the hall passages having been cut off by the smoke, when Adam’s men induced him to wait until they brought a ladder. In a second the ladder was raised against the building and the gentleman extrica ted from his perilous position. Three or four other boarders were aiso rescued by the same means. The hotel has been for some time what is call ed a “ Furnished Hotel,”—that is a place where rooms are hired, and meals given or not, as de sired. Mr. Judson who formally kept it, is now proprietor of the New York Hotel and the Bre voort House iu the upper section of the city. Mr. Thomas Bond Recovered Alive. The news of Wednesday morning contained the melancholy announcement of the drowning of Mr. Thomas "Bond on Saturday last, in Sapelo Sound. We were shown a private letter yester day which states that the body ot Mr. Bond was found by Mr. Randolph Spalding, Esq., on the beach where a Creek makes into the Sound, “ with life barely lingering and perceptible.”— The letter states that Mr. B. “ was taken home, and the proper means resorted to for his recov ery, in which they proved successful.” The writer derives his information from what he con ceives to be a reliable source, and it is sincerely to be hoped that his statement of the facts may prove to be true. We look with ahxiety for its confirmation by further accounts, which should reach this city by the Florida mail. Since the above was written we have receiv . ed intelligence fully confirming the statements r of the letter from which we have quoted. It ap pears that Mr. Bond left his plantation, above Darien, on Saturday night last, to go to Colonel Spalding’s on Sapelo Island. In the boat with himself were two negroes, and in company with : him was another boat, i i which were two De grees. On tbe passage between Darien and Col. Spalding’s plantation his boat was swamped, since which time up to Wednesday afternoon, at three o’clock—some eighty-seven hours after the accident—when he was found by Col. S. in an old field near tbe beacb, nothing was known of him or those with him in the boat. It is sup posed that he must have clung to the boat until finding that he was drifting to sea, he swam for the Sapelo light, in the neighborhood of which he reached the shore, but in too exhausted a con dition to be able to make his way to the planta tion. All hope of recovering bis body had been abandoned, and he was accidently discovered by Col. Spalding when out gunning. When found be was lying on his face, on the ground, with his coat off, and apparently dead. On examina tion it was discovered that the pulsations ot his heart had not entirely ceased. Col. Spalding and the friend by whom he was accompanied immediately reverted to such restorative means as were at hand, and after some time succeeded in recovering him sufficiently to venture his re moval. He was taken to Coi. Spalding’s resi dence, where he was alive at last accounts twen ty-tour hours after he was found. It is very rarely that we find recorded and instauce of greater tenacity of life than is exhibited in this extraordinary case. It will be remembered that the weather during Sunday, Monday and Tues day was very cold, and when we consider the struggle in reaching the shjre, the severity of the temperature for days and nights,during which he was without nourishment or water, we are astonished at bis great power of endurance. 1 Savannah Morning News. AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING, HOV. 28. Correction. In noticing the death of Private Schilling, of the Washington Artillery in our paper «f Sun day morning, we stated that he was the fifth member of the corps who had died since the for mation of the Company. It should have been that he was the fifth member of the Washington ffire Company, No. 1, who has died. The Artillery have lost but one irom their ranks. — Mr. Schilling, as well as our informant, was a meqjber of both Companies—hence the mis take. Visit of Cadets to Augusta. We are pleased to learn that the Cadets of the Georgia Military Institute, under command of Major Brunby, will -visit our city during the State Fair, which commences next Monday.— The President of the Georgia Rail Road with commendable public spirit ar.d liberality, has consented to pass the Cadets over the Road free of charge. Arrangements will be made, and are in progress, through other gentlemen here for their accommodation while in the city. We understand that Carrie’s lot, south of the Georgia Rail Road Depot is selected for the Encamp ment. We had the pleasure of seeing at Milledge ville last winter this fine corps of young citizen soldiery. Their evolutions in Battalion drill as infantry, and also in artillery exercise showed admirable discipline, while their deportment when off duty, proved them to be young gentle men who duly feel the high obligations of morals and chivalry which their position imposes. We feel sure their visit will win for them the respect and admiration of this community, and of the large concourse of visitors who will be here. This will furnish those among us of mili tary tastes a pleasing treat, and no doubt propiti ate public sentiment in favor of their flourishing institution—one of leading val ue and importance to our State. Our volunteer corps will not omit the civilities due t > the occasion. Death of Hiram Aldrich. A large circle of friends have been called on to mourn the loss of this estimable gentleman, who died on Saturday last in this city. His upright deportment and strict integrity as a merchant and his social qualities and kindness of heart, had won the esteem of all who knew him. He had resided in this city nearly a quarter of a century, and, now that he is summoned away, has left not an enemy behind. He was a native of Smith field, R. I. Homicide at Ham burg. We understand that a man named Pass An derson wa3 killed on last Saturday night by a pistol shot through the “heart, fired by a man named William Murphy. Murphy absconded. We understand that he was in this city yester day. Theatre. Our city was enlivened lart evening by the opening of our Theatre, under the management of that popular caterer to the tastes of the public, Mr. W. H. Crisp. The play selected for the opening night was Richard 111. in which the celebrated Tragedian, Mr. J- B. Roberts, sustain ed the character of the *• Crook Back Tyrant.’’ The other characters were well sustained, but the lateness of the hour at which we write for bids us to say anything morp. To-morrow we shall have more to say in rela tion to Mr. Roberts, as well as in regard to the merits of the Company. To-night, Bulwer’s celebrated play of “Riche lieu” will be presented with a powerful caste, also, the highly laughable farce of “ My precious Betsey.” Destructive Fire at Marietta. We are permitted to publish the following letter to a House in this city, giving an account of a destructive Fire at Marietta. We sincerely regret this disaster to that flour ishing place, and to the immediate sufferers. Especially do we sympathize with the Proprie tors of the Advocate and the Journal. Besides the immediate precuniary loss, the inconven ience to them and to the public of such a catas trope, is not easily estimated in dollars and cents. “ Marietta, Nov. 25th, 1854. *, Gentlemen I have nothing from you to-day, I write to inform you of a serious Fire.this morn ing about four o’clock, in the Cherokee Hall Block, originating in the adjoining Tin Shop. The entire block, Bentons Corner and two oth er houses and the Cherokee Hall all a comple ruin. And we had great difficulty in saving the next block North, which being all frame buil dings would not only have been burnt, but the Webster Corner and Howard House and Block must have gone also. Welch & York are fully insured, but part; Wadsworth—Tinner,lost everything stock’ Books and all, no insurance ; Cherokee Advocate office and Masonic Journal office, both burnt out and no insurance; Cherokee Hall, insurance $7,000; Bentons Corner, no insurance ; next door owned by Townsend Crane & Co., of Charleston, fully insured; Mills & Heeth, and Baber and oth ers saved their merchandise generally ; John W. Edge & Phillips, and perhaps N E. Benton, At torneys, have lost Books and papers. Walls falling but no one hurt.” Kansas and Senator Atchison.— The Wash ington Star stated some weeks since that Sena tor Atchison would not be in Washington the ensuing winter—being occupied in Missouri with the task of securing a re-election. The St. Louis Democrat, (Benton’s Free-Soil oigan) in noticing this announcement, says; in regard to the speculations of the Star, how ever, we have a cue to add that has not yet been made public. It is, that Senator Atchison is at present engaged in the upper country, or ganizing a secret society to consist ol five thou sand persons, pledged to lepair into Kansas on the day <f the first election held there, to vote slave ry into that territory. Ol this'we have authen tic information, and in a few days we shall ex pose the whole scheme; for, while we wish to see the people of Kansas determine the question of their own domestic institutions, in forming their own State constitution, we cannot and will not tolerate such an unlawful and iniquiti ous rascality as that of “Drunken Davy’s,” which proposes that a large body of men who are not, and do not intend to become, residents of that territory, shall by force and violence override the sense and wishes of its legitimate settlers. General Jail Delivery.— On Wednesday night last the DeKalb county jail, at Decatur, was broken open and ten prisoners confined therein made rneir escape. Among those who escaped were John R. Humphries, who was con fined for trial for killing Elisha Tiller and young Kane, and also Asa Humphries and Win. Robin sou, charged with participating in the murder of the lat er. Dennis Haynes, who was convicted of murdering Griggs, and sentenced to death by the Superior Court at its session last month, also escaped. Various impliments were found in the jail, which wex* supposed to have bean banded in by friends ot the prisoners from the outside. Previous to the time of the escape, the wires of the Macon & Western Telegraph were cut down in several places, as is supposed by those inter ested in securing the escape of the prisoners. Four prisozers, we understand, voluntarily re mained in the jail after the others bad escaped. No clue has yet been discovered likely to lead to their apprehension.— Atlanta Intelligencer, 25th inst. Wild Cat Banks—Agitation. The times of 1837 are reappearing in 1854, and well does it behove all monied men to be ware of danger. The failures in the North and West must effect all localities, and already the sound of alarm is heard near our borders. Fortu nately lor us we have in our city none other than the reliable banking houses, those that are sure; but we deal in other than the paper of our own city, and the suggestion that a prudential degree of discretion should enter into all our ex changes will not come untimed. The New York Herald of late date, in speaking of these suspicious Banks says: “We look for trouble among the “one horse” banks of Georgia, as a certain class are very appropriately called. There are about eight or ten banks, located in different parts ot that State, which are principally owned at the West, and if the owners fail the Banks are sure to fail; and the banks may fail without the own ers becoming bankrupt. There is the Merchants’ Bank of Macon, Ga.; The Bank of Milledgeville, Ga.; the Cherokee Insurance Company Bank, Ga ; the Planters’ and Mechanics’ Bank ol Dal ton, Ga; the Griffin Bank of Griffin; and last, but not least, the Atlanta Bank, Ga. These are all ‘one horse’ banks, and each depends almost entirely upon the solvency of one individual. — None of them are owned in Georgia, and the people of that State have no interest in or sym pathy with them. They are owned principally in Chicago, and their owners have managed to get out an enormous circulation. The Mer chants’ Bank of Macon has a circulation of up wards of eight hundred thousand dollars. The Griffin Bank and the Atlanta Bank, both owned by the same man, have a circulation of one mil lion dollars. Not the first dollar of the immense issues is secured. The bill holder has no guaran ty that the first cent would be paid on his claims in the event of the bank failing, and the com munity should be on their guard against such concerns ” The New York Times also remarks : “ At Chicago, the Merchants’ and Mechanics’ and City Banks, have suspended, and the notes of several other country Banks, hitherto circula ted in that vicinity, have been discredited. The Chicago Bankers have been using of late sundry Georgia charters, which exact no Stock security, for purposes of circulation. One of these, name not mentioned, goes down with the Merchants and Mechanics’ Bank. Another, the Atlanta Bank, is owned by George Smith, somewhat celebrated in banking in Illinois and Wisconsin. Mr. S. at last advices still weathered the storm, while others have given up. The press in this City and in the Northwest, even on threats of li bel suits, have, within the last year, earnestly protested against the illicit use of old charters from Georgia, never designed by the Legislature of that sound financial State lor such purposes, but we were generally met by the boast that Mr. Smith’s reputed wealth and example would make the bogus circulation go, as they probably have done to the tune ot $1,500,000 or $2,000,001). it is worthy of remark, at this juncture, that in all such cases, where a just public sentiment has been suffered to obtain over the designs ot these currency speculators, the community has escaped loss, and vice versa. There was little Indiana Free Bank circulation about this city at the time of the late explosion ; there is less of the Georgia bogus here at present.” The Bank of Milledgeville, Ga., is also feared to be in a state lomewtiat critical. The Chica go Daily Tribune of Tuesday evening, Novem ber 15, says: The excitement in relation to money matteis in this city, continued during yesterday. The City Bank, owned by Bradley, Curtiss & Company, did not open its doors on yesterday morning. The following notice was posted upon its doors: “ This institution will not be opened to-day. We hope to resume business in a few days ” Bradley, Curtiss & Co. In consequence of this suspension, the Bank ol Milledgeville, Ga., has no agency in this city to redeem its bills, and the notes of the Banks of Rock Island and Belvidore are thrown out by other Banks of this city, in consequence of their connection with the Bank of Bradley, Curtiss & Co. The Last No. of Dye’s Bank Mirror comes with the caution I,ook Out. Itsays: “ Ten dollar bills on the Bank oi Tennessee, with red backs, are now in circulation. In con sequence of the robbing of the express agent, who brought the impression from Philadelphia, no bill ot this description has been or will be issued without notice first being given to the public.” It also comments thus on what are termed Georgia Shinplasters: “These banks seem to overllood the States of Illinois and lowa, and parts of Indiana. Al though arrangements have been made for these circulations in Chicago, &c., Milledgeville and Macon money seems out of its latitude. It does not yet flood us; we want to be satisfied of their condition before they obtain our confi dence. At present, public opinion is strong against them. The people of Chicago complain when checks are drawn in their banks. They are paid almost altogether in this one kind of money; they do not like it; it lacks their favor and confidence.”— Chattanooga Advertiser. Important from Cuba. The Revolutionary Movement—Anticipated Rising . at an early day , etc. The steamship Black Warrior arrived at New Orleans on Sunday, with advices from Havana to the 16th inst., being four days later. We ex tract the following from the Delta, a paper well informed in Cuban matters : We have received from a private and most au thentic source most important news from Cuba, which shows that the inhabitants ot the Island are in a state of the wildest enthusiasm, and th-t they have in contemplation an important rising within a few days. We translate from the Spanish the following bold and energetic procla mation, issued by the Club of the Terrorists : TO THE CUBANS 1 Cubans. —The moment has come at last to bring your valor and patriotism to the proof. Now is the time to endorse your sentiments oi honor and heroism, and to demonstrate how worthy you are of being called brothers of those brave men who died for the defence of our coun try’s sacred rights. The future destiny of our revolution, depends entirely on your arms. Cubans! The strength ot ycur arms is every moment needed to help us to dethrone the ty rant. Bear in mind that we shall raise the cry of insurrection at a moment’s warning ; and we shall have no other resource but death or victory. There will be many to doubt our word ; but woe to the unbelievers ! for they shall be surprised in their inactivity, and will be the victims of their carelessness ! Cubans, to arms ! Let those who are men follow us; let those in whose bosoms beat a patriotic heart be prepared for the combat , let those who still preserve a sentiment of dignity —let those who feel the outrages cast upon us by the Government—let those who have been tor mented with prison, who have lost their proper ty by scandalous confiscation, who had any re lationship, or friendship, or sympathy for Lopez j Aguero, Arcis7 Armenteros, Montes, Oca, Facciolo, and many others who bled and died at the hand of the executioners and soldiers—let them arise to punish the wretches and conquer our rights. Let them come to the field, there to remain vanquishers or be vanquished. To all cowards, flatterers and Iriends of Spanish Government, and unto all tories, we equally an nounce the approach of the revolution. There shall be no pity shown to none. We had enough ol it in 1851, and experience teaches us that we ! must impose terror to attain our end. We, therefore, invoke a revolution to cast eff the domination that has weighed upon our coun- j try for upwards of three hundred aud sixty years, and proclaim a Democratic Republican Govern ment ! which will take for its model that of the ! United States of North America. We will know no neutrality till the establish ment of peace. All persons who should deny us shall be con sidered traitors and shot as such. All persons capable of bearing arms must join us, or, on denial, be instantly shot. All property shall be respected. We will maintain every thing pertaining unto government. Ihe revolution once effected, nothing will check our progress. Our ideas are not opposed to humamiy, but those Cubans who will not 1 voluntarily follow us, will have to abide by th« I above mentioned conditions. Let those who ' ; have liberty, order and justice, come to cur aid. [ Hail free Cuba ! Death to Concha ! Dawn with despots and tiaitors ! Citizens, to arms!

Verdad. i , Augusta Division No. 7 S. of T. I Augusta, 25th Nov., 1854. J * At a regular meeting cf this Division, held this evening tho following .Preamble and Resolutions were unanimously adopted: Your Committee have discharged the solemn duty assigned them, of recording a tribute to the memory of our late decoased Brothers. Our little band, which has been linked for many years in the cause of Temperance and humanity, and met week ly in the discharge of its obligations; in common with every other interest in the City, has paused in dismay amidst the overwhelming tide of disease ! and death. The wail of anguish accompanied eve ry day’s report, and the ensigns of mourning have thrown their gloomy shadows about many bright and cheerful homos. We have lost our Brothers, J. A. H. Wilcox, W. C. Marsh and I. S. T. Parish. Their seats are vaoant at our social meetings, their voices no longer mingle in our councils. Although surrounded by glittering blandishments and temp tations, they were stern in their integrity, and ■ *oalous in maintaining the great principles of our order They were warm in their friendship and estimable in every relation of life. We delighted to honor them.. Although the grave has quonched the light of their young lives, amidst the joyous ness of youth, and the buoyancy of hope, they have left a sacred and lasting record on the incm ! ory of their brethren and friends. Amidst pestilence and panic, our Brother, Christopher. Bow, was struck down with Paraly : sis. The weight of years and infirmities bore heavily upon, yet he was always prompt in the dis charge of duty, and unremitting in his attention to his brethren. Bis lore was ardent arid abiding. He was tue cluest and the best of all the Division. I His presence imparted zeal, and was always greet ed with pleasure. We loved him. We wanted no firmer Son ol Temperance. No bitter friend. No purer man in every circumstance of life. His star has set, but not behind the darkened west; but like the morning star that melts away amidst the ftiU orbed glorios of the king of day. : but we feel that however much we miss t/esa I brothers, appreciate and admire their virtues and ! deplore their loss, there are those who more keou ! ly teei their fail. Words are too poor to convey ; their grrtf. The heart has its own peculiar lun | £ ua £°i. an d it treasures there a thousand sacred j memories ot the loved and lost. Time and change may throw their rights and shadows over the heart, j the faithful record fives, and the cherished | i m age holds undisturbed its place. We would gladly mitigate the sorrow that rives : the heart of the relatives of our young Brothers, i and taste awav the wearing grief from her who al j most alone, aud upon life's doeline, bears her sad i bereavement; but wo have no power to soothe the j wounded spirit or stay the rising -tear. Wo will | bear this testimony, and— i Resolve, That in tho decease of J. A. H. Wil cox, W. C. Marsh and I. S. T. Parish, the City has lost young men of rare merit and promise, anil our Order firm and valuable members. Resolved, That in the decease of Brother C. ' Low, this community ha 3 lost an old and well tried citizen, honest and honorable, and ho has passed away, beloved by all. Resolved, That wo sympathise with the relatives of the deceased, and that the usual badge ol mourning be placed in tho Division Hoorn during present term. L. LV Lallerstedt, j H. M.

C- LUMBIA, Nov. 27 The steamer Baltic arrived at New York, last evening, with three days later advices from Eu rope. There had been desperate fighting at Sevasto pol. it was believed that the allies would be compelled to raise the siege. Both parties claim ed the victory. On the sth of November, Gen. Canrober says the'Russians lost 9,000 men, Menchikoff says, that in a sortie ol the garrison on the sth the Russians were eminently successful spiked thirty French guns, and defeated the French in an assault on the town with immense loss. The Vienna Posi: says that on the 6th, the entire garrison, 65,900 strong assaulted the Al lies in a furious battle, which was not ended when the messenger left, but the allies had slight advantage. It is belived that a few such vic tories, and tne allies would be compelled to raise thesige Menschikoff say,- that it is impossible for the allies to continue the siege'if the Russians continue to harrass them. Canrobert declares that be intends to make immediate assaults upon the town, which the Rusrians are in no condition to resist. General Intelligence. The news from Marseilles, of the destruction of the Light Cavalry, under Lord Cordigan, in the action at Balakiava on the 23th ult., has been confirmed. Tirey charged a battery of thirty guns, and lost four hundred men. Only two hundred returned. Since then there has been almost incessant sanguinary fighting. The Allies aje almost overpowered, and most urgent requests have been sent for instant reinforce ments. Fifty thousand French will be imme diately sent to their assistance, and every avail able steamer has been taken for their transporta tion to the Crimea, including the Europa, Alps, Indiana, New York, and others. On the sth inst. ateirible combat took place, which lasted from daylight until four in the afternoon, and both sides claimed the victory. The English took a few hundred prisoners, and the Russians stormed several batteries and spike.i the guns. 1 he loss ot the Allies was repoited at 4000, and that of the Russians at 8000. The battle was resumed by the Russians on the 6th inst., but the result had not reached England when the Baltic sailed. It is said that the Allies were pre paring to storm Sevastopol before the Russian® could recover their losses, but other accounts state that the Allied forces were greatly reduced, and must abandon the siege unless large rein forcements speedily arrived.
