The Weather.
Our farmers are having a fine time for
picking Cotton —the weather being olear ami
moderately cool. The evenings are now
getting cool enough to reader fires and thick
coats comfortable, aud we shouldn't be much
surprised to hear of frost shortly. Rain is
greatly needed, all over the country.
Frank Leslie’s Gazette of Fashion and
the Beau Monde.
We have the October number of this beau
tiful work m our table. The following no
notice of it, from the New York Her
ald is so much to our noti<i that we copy it:
.. We have received thejgwlobsr number
of Frank Leslie’s Ladies’ Gazette of Fashion
and the Beau Monde. There is & noticable
improvement in the style and contents of
each number of this magazine over the pre
ceding number, and it now constitutes a
really interesting, and—to the ladies at
least—a most useful periodical. We remark
one new feature in it particularly, which
strikes ua rs a very admirable one. It is
that the leading article is devoted to a de
scription of the fashions as they are found
in this city—not a* they were one, three or
*ix months nge in London or Paris. It is en
titled ..Our Monthly Review of Fnsh'ons
and the Industrial Arts,” and if w* Hiay
judge by this first article, the subject i* one
which, if continued to be elucidated so wt*l!,
will boos the most immediate interest to
ladies, in and out of the city, who desire th*
best and meet intelligible information on
the prevailing fashion Jft tbs way of prints,
the Gazette make* a very oveditable appear
ance, and its selections of reading matter
are very appropCS.”
Putnam’s Magasinx Tho publisher*,
Messrs. Dix and Edwards, have kindly sent
us the October number e-f this admirable
publication. We have often spoken in high’
terms of Putnam It has a reputation in
this country second to no werk published
It has also a transatlantic fan:o if we are to
guess’from the noticos of it in the English
papers. Balow we give aso tic* es this work
1 ruin the London J Veekly Times Thjscom
ing from au English paper coaconmig an
American perodical ia high’ praise indeed ;
<< Two numbers of thiji leading American
magarins have reached us the same time,
and brought upon ue an tmlsrras ties rich
essts. The articles number seme eighteen
in each, and there is not on* that we should
be inclined to pass over. Indeed, ..Putnam”
has a peculiar attraotioa for us, as we see
in it a renaction of the mind, manners and
intelligence of cur traueatlantio cousins.—
It into anew country, and makes
us acquainted with all its characteristics in
■an easy, unaffected manner. Politics are
not neglected ; but vre do not detect faction,
or even p-sny, aud we read under • pursua- j
siou that we are gathering the impartial
opinion of the best minds ia th* United
States.”
Capture of Sevastopol.
Experience ha* taught as, says the Con
stitutionalisl fi Republic, to be slow to be
lieve the first intelligence, which usually
coii.es by England, of allied victories. The j
corrected accounts that follow usually cur- ;
tail greatly their completeness and mogni- !
tude. IVe aro loath to receive, except with I
considerable allowance, the tidings of Rus
sian disaster, brought out by the steamer 1
Washington, to be found under our telegraph
ic head. \t vh* announcement that Sevas
topol is taken, is so positive, and is accom
i ponied hy such particularity of detail, that
we cannot well doubt the fuel, unwelcome to
us as is such a conriciicu. Insolent and !
overbearing before, no limit* can be placed ;
to British arrogance, if she Suds that by the ;
aid of France she can dictate to Russia her
own tei me of peace.
But this the allies will bo unabl# to do,
even if Sevastopol is taken, and not the
southern defences only of the city. The lat
: ter only may prov# tba greatest extent of
| the damage to Russia. But, admitting that 1
| the entire city has fallen, Russia, after a :
j noble and unparalleled defence, i* still un- j
1 conquered. Moscow fell before Napoleon, ■
yet Russia proved victorious, and hie mag- j
nifiecut army was annihilated. That city I
was in the heart of the Russian Empire in ■
| Europe. Sevastopol is but n outpost. The ,
whole of the Crimea is but an• insignificant j
irsctioii of b*r territory.
It my be that pens* is further oil'than j
; over. Jho Fabian policy of retiring before j
the enemy uiid leaving him to follow over
a wane and dc-soluu country, may be adopt
ed by until the allies are wearied
out and exhausted, ilieir pride humbled, and
their spirits attuned to moderation. Then
may aa honorable pettc* be expected by
Russia. Thus tuny she exact it. So mote
it be.
Kansas.
Adairs in continue In • most
uuea(l*faotory Uto. The Freo-Soil presses
declare upon must indiepatabl* authority
: that throe-fourths of the settlers in Kansas
i Territory are Anti Slaver/, and that the
Legislature selected by the Missouri Bor
derers are overrid ng the wiil of the people
On the other hand, our friends are equally
confident that the Fro-Slavery party in the
territory are largely in tho majority. Ae
the election of delegates to Congress will
soon take place, this matter will be Mifac
torily tested. In the mean time, the Free-
Boilers have held a Convention at which they
resolved to set aside tho Territorial Govern
ment entirely, and establish a complete ays.
tern for themselves, depending upon an Abo
lition Congress to sustain them. We may
expect therefore to hear tho doctrine of
Bquatter-sovereiguty in all its forms lully
debated in the next Congress. The times are
pregnant with affairs of the greatest impor
| tlin o*e. end the Boutli should be careful to
have the right kind of men to represent their
interests in the National legislature.
Beaten hut JXoL Jf anqHkahed,.
The result in this county has disappointed
ns—although it is probably as good as we
i had any right to expect. The Democrat*
and Anti-Know Nothings had more to con
tend against in Ca4s than in airy other county
in the State. Wc had to fight not only Col.
Tqmlin’s personal influence, but that of sev
eral who had been prominent member* of
the Deinccratie party, but were In the new
organization. Add to all this tho counties*
misrepresentations in reference to the State
road and other acts of the present adminis
tration, and it will be conceded, even by the
opposition, we bolievo, that we have dona
well. We have reduced Cot. Tumlin’s ma
jority 233 votes iu his own county, and given
tho untiro Enow Nothing tickot the tightest
kind of a race. We ore confident in spite of
this result, tfiat a msjority of the voters of
Cass county are not with the American par
ty in principle—the present result boing
plainly attributable to personal influences.
It will be seen, by rofereuoe to the proceed
ings of a mooting iu another column, that
the Democracy are arming for another con
flict in January next. Let all true friend*,
of that party and opponents of the KnoV
Nothing, organization come to the, rescue,
and a glorious victory awaits us in Janua
ry. This partial defeat should ofily ineito
u* to make greater exertions Let us march
to the contest in solid column, and the day
is ours.

A Locomotive on a Bust.
The Cleveland PlAindealer relates the fol
lowing singular taler
<i Yesterday afternoon a singular accident
occurred on the northern division of the To
ledo Railroad, a few ijiilc# this side of Toledo,
by which the locomotive • Tiger’ was com
pletely demolished, w ithout’further injury
The engine was near the apex of a stoop
grade, attached to a heavy gravel train,
when the coupling between itself and the
tender gave way, and left the locomotive to
shoot forward like a flash of lightning, with
out engineer, fireman or any other person to
check her nfbtion. She whizzed on, without
regard to rules or regulations, passing
switches ami crossings witbdut any admoni
tion or alarm on her own part. At one
point on her course she shot through a gang
of hand* that were busy leveling the truck.
The won hud barely time to jump out of the
way of suro destruction.
On, on, she sped, with her head towards
the west, until she arrived at a gravel bed
switch, s’ne appropriated to her own use ;
jumped off the truck, turned a complete
doublesonrn erect, and so twisted and turned
herself as to lazi l right side up, head jd in a
reverse direction, completely demolishing
the Tiger, and terrifying a gang of hands
that happened to escape destruction at tho
final smash up.
IVhen the coupling broke, tho engineer
and firemen happened to be on the tender,
and thus they were deprived of the pleasure
of this lightnihg ride. The engine happen
ed to pass over the Roud on the time of tiio
down passenger train, but by a fortunate
occurrenfe, tho passenger train was delayed
beyond her timo, and thus saved itself from
certain destruction.
A Regular Smash.
The uptraiu on the West Point Road last
Friday night, run over a bull, lying neboas
the track, between Auburn and Opelika
Tho nose of the cow-catcher was depressed
by the collision, and tore up the track for
some distance, and one of the two passenger
cars and baggage cars were very, considera
bly damaged. Wo suppose that nothing hut
the solidity of our cars, (which far excel the
Northern work in strength,) prevented their
being knocked into fragments. As it was,
tho passengers though considerably shock
ed,” were not 1 ruised or otherwise injured
Tiio engino run along, over (lie cross ties, on
the top of the embankment—which is there
20 feet high—until pitched into a stock gap.
A pasiooger found it to be 77 steps from the
body of the defunct hull, to tho end of the
hindmost cur which ran over him. It was a
descending grade and the train was running
at pretty fair npoed. The damage to tl*o
company niu*t bo several thousand dollars
besides paying for the bull ! It was said
that several of the samo species have been
killed near this samo spot. Wo hope they’ll
get thinned out after a
ry Mail, 17 l/s.
Mr. Edward Buntlino, who has’ boon la
boring for the last six months in Mfdno, in

Hon. ReVerdy Johnson's Letter.
YFe publish this morning letter from
this distinguished g*ntinman, which will
well repfry
ten in refylvi-tio *n invitation to attend to the
formaticq, of a Bpciety to celebrate the adop
tion of tho iCortstitution. And 1 in the juet
spirit cf Occasion *o opportune, Mr. Jobn
*on expresses him|*lf upon the leading po
litical topics of the dy, in a manner worthy
cf ih* highest approbation. It will be seea
that b# fully sustains us in our opinions up
on the subject of suffrage'; .and the moral ob-*
ligation resting upon every citizen to exer
cise that sacred trust in conformity with the
life and spirit of tho Constitution. In this
particular, the views of Mr. Johnson stands
in happy contrast with those of Mr. Bofricn
—the former surveying the subject from a
high, statesmanlike point, the latter suter
taining us with narrow and technical refine
ments.
To illustrate, Mr. Berrien tells ua tLal
when the Constitution declares that
No religious test shall ever be required
as a qualification for any office or public
trust under the United States,” uit relates
to persons elected to office, and requires that
they shall have the oath of office administered
to them, without bciug subjected to any ro-’
ligious test. And this is the whole scope’
and effect of ithe act.” *
Now,.is this the argument of a statesman,?
The great and glorious principle of
toleration, which wo have so long fci>falded
as the pride of American institutions—-the
struggle for which has blotted hhe page of
history with blood aud tears, and perverted
a religion of love aud more/ into a horrible
code of tortures and huiaan Sacrifice, until
a more hopeful star dawned tipon mankind
in this western sky, is according to Mr Ber
rien, a more legal technical provision, hav
ing no force aud no meaning beyond the nar
row limits of his definition. Vain and idle
have been our boasts, worse than idle our
hopes, if Mr. Berrien be correct. Religious
toloratioa is not a living, all-pervading prm
ciplo of American institutions ; not that
pure and beautiful light which we were wont
to fansy surrounding our footsteps, hanging
over our hearthstones and couohea and al
tars, and filling ua with a wide humanity !
No! Mr Borriea being tho judge, religious
toleration has no claim upon the votes of tbs
citizen; ita appeals are to be forgotten a
mid the shouts ff party and prejudice; and
while the Constitution enacts it in the most
solemn inaarrir, the eitizon ci.n, in the abso
lute freedom of his suffrage, trample it un
der foot ! ! Such are the conclusions of Mr.
Berrirn's position. *
Mark, uo’.v, the language of Mr. Johnson.
Speaking of the fundamental principles of
our Government, he says:
••Ofibvie, there are two of incalculable
value—•quality in every political right, and
absolute,,unrestricted, unquestioned enjay
meat in every religious opinion.
• * * * • • •
“That the wrong is to bo done through tho
ballot-box;, gives it no excuse. The thing is
in itself at wsr with the Constitution, wholly
irrespective of the menus by which it is com
mitted. Indeed, it is rather an aggravation
of it, as it abusos the sacred purpose of the
franchise, by converting it into un instru
ment of from being, as it should
be, the mosne of supporting all the ri gift s’
that the constitution confers ok the citizen.”
Mr.'Johnpou recognizes the Constitution
as establishing ceVtaju great principles,
which are binding upon the citizen in all his
acts. strength of Iris id#ia consists
in the rejection of the view put forward by
our contemporary of the News, that Leoumo
there is no penalty in the Constitution to
enforce the principle, .there is no principle
at all, and consequently no obligation upon
the citizen it iu his vote. What !
are there no obligations upon the citizen but
those wlAh can be enforced by the sheriff
and the constable ?—no principles which are
sacredly committed to Lis keeping, never to
10 forgotten, or disregarded -no high
claims above writs and process, to be record
ed and acknowledged only in tbtydgh
cery of conscience, and in his
acts? llow can a Constitution live,'which
is based not upon forco, but upon public
opinion, when that public opinion is taught
tliat there is toothing obligatory in it, but
| that which can*be enforced ? Such a creed
will leave us the cold, inanimate body of a
’ Constitution ; but forever will have fled its
soul and spirit.
But is thero a man emong ua who will
deny, in spite of these nice distinction, that
religious freedom is a fundamental principle
of our institutions ? Is it not our pride nod
•our boast ? Whore, the force of tho object
tion, that there is no law to compel tho citi
zen to respect and maintain it by his voter
It is a law iu tho very highest sense, anil
which to disobey, if it does not inflict upon
tli* citizen the penalties of flue aud impri
sonment, only reserves him for that more
terrible retribution —the ruih, utter and
entire, of Ins country. It is to that “high,
public sense, which.ulone can recognize such
obligation*, timt we appeal. And without
; it, what must become of religious toleration,
and every othrr doctrine Which 4tuS distin
guished and blest us ? Without it,

■Russian Version of the Battle es i
Tchsrnaya.
Tfie Invalide Russ: gives the following
version of the battle of the Tchernaya :
A report W 8 received yesterday from the
Ald-dfi Camp general Prinoe Gertachakoff,
dated Aygnst 6, (17) containing, the-follow
in j djtaih),which explain hifflrebort telegraph
ic despatch of thersatne day.
Deairousr of fttrnirtg away the enemy from
the siege works of Sebastopol, and at tho
earn? time to make sure of the forccß o\ the
Aljics, Prince portschakoff undertook pf
febflivo movement in tha valley of the Tcher
i Day a, with a portion of the troops enoamped
co M alike ore Ilcigh ta.
On the 4th (16th of August, at 4 A. M y
the troops divided themselv*s into two col
umns 1 the right, commanded by Aid-de-
Cairip Giin. Road, took a front direction
against the so called Fedukhine heights, and
the left, commanded by Lieut. Gen. Lapran
di, advanced on Tchorgoun. In a moment
the two columns,drove away the enemy from
the right bank of the Tchernaya. Lieut
Gen. Lapraudi, occupied the heights ot
Tciiorgoua. On its side tlfo right column
advanced with extraordinary rapidity to
wards tho river, crossed it under the violent
fire,of the enemy’s batteries, then crossed a
large canal of the acqueduct, and carried
vh by the excitement of battle
roctly on the Fcdukhinc heights.
lu the interval the cuemy had already
had time to bring up considerable forces to
the menaucod point of their fortified position.
The troops ot the right column, who were
scaling the escarpment, met a desperate re
sistance All the efforts of our brave in
fantry Were fruitless. On this occasion, we
suffered a disastrous loss. Gen Read &Dd
the Chief of his Staff, Maj. Gen DeWeinan,
were the first to fall.
The Commander-in-Chief, however, has
tened up in all haste to the right column,
and seeing that our troops were wasting
their heroic efforts on that point, ordered a
retreat beyond the Tchernaya.
Having retired to about half cannon range,
Prince Gortschakofilordered his line of bat
tle to halt in the hope that tho enemy
would pursue us aud offer up the opportunity
of fighting them in the open field. The
Allies, however, did not stir from their po
sitions ; after remaining four hours in view
of the adversaries, our tboops quietly re
turned to Mackenzie heights.
In announcing with grief the losses we
have suffered, Prince GcrtshnkofF at the
same time pays a tribute to the unexampled
courage displayed, by bar troops ia the sun
guiuary combat of the 4th (16th) August,
nod he attributes the'dosses to excessof ar
dor of the right column. ■
The eaemy having driven back our attack,
did not dare to take the offensive, despite of
its numerrical superiority.
Senator Douglas on Slavery.
Senator Dougins has written a short let

lecture on slavery in Boston during the next

statesmen, the peace and harmony of the

Tho Washington correspondent of tho New
| York Times speaks of a sharp ccrrespon- ;
i deuce going or. between Gen. Scott, and tho :
| Secretary of W'ar—uot as to his pay, which
it, is understood the Administration with
holds as yot— but.
*lt aeernsthat some months since, Gener
al Scott gave Hitchcock, who has long been
aa intimate personal friend, leavoof absence
for six months. The Secretary es War im
madately wrote tft Gen. Scott, demanding
hia reasons for tliif a*t of favoritism to Gen.
Hitchcock, aud at tho time couuteriUHaded
the General’s order, grafting leave of ab
sence.
• • General Scott replied that he had grant
od the leave of absence because he had tho
right to do it, and was convinced of its pro
priety —that ho was nqt lesponsibje to the
Secretary of War for lit* tmtiou%in such ca
ses, and that ho would bo to him if
he would hereafter, in any official oonmiuni
j cations he might have occasion to n>%-*ss
| him, write in the name of tho Fresldeut of
tho United States—as he was the onty ofi|-
eial superior whom ho uckuowledged. The
General’s letter was quite a* sharp as the
Soeretary’a.
• Secretary Divls, in reply, entered into
a very elaborate und ilotailed exposition of
all tho alleged brcaoltds of order and viola-
I tiou of propriety committed by Gen. Scott
i during his whole military career ! His let
! ter is very long, and filled with the severest
j cviticieui of tho Geucrtil's coudubt”
To all Felons Concerned.

six repulaes.
The Allied loss was thirty thousand.

A large amount of war materials were
captured.
It is.reported the Allies have orders to de- :

Double Election in Kansas,
The Abolitionists in Kansas, who have
avowed their intention to resist all laws
passed by tluukst Legislature, and ow
recognized by the Executive and Judicial
Departments of the have held
a Convention and nominated Ez-Gov. A. H
Reeder for Congress, and be has accepted
the nomination. The law-breaker# bad fore
thought enough to put their election subse
quent k> that authorized by the laws'of the
Territery, so that no collision is liable to
take place while the farce is going on.
The clcetion law of the Territory fixes the
first Monday in October for the eletioa. It
is apprehended.that they intend to play a
double game on the pro slavery party.—
They have given out that they do not intend
to run candidates at the regular election ;
hut they are trying to bring out as many
pro-slavery candidates a8 possible, ia the
hope, by these disaentions, of running in
Reeder at the last hour. One citizen has
already bit at the bait—a Mr. Perkins—who
claims to be a National Democrat, but he is
coldly received everywhere. Failing in this
dodge, Rsedcr will go through the form of
an election a week lator, relying upon the
Abolitionists of the House of Representatives
to give him it seat, bt Le will not get it.
Latest from Norfolk.
The Petersburg Express of Mohday gives
the following latest rutclligence from the
afflicted peop'e of Norfolk :
Daily, a3 the periodical four and twenty
hours roll by into eternity, we feel an ibnito
hope tbiit we may be able to place better qr
more cheering news before our readers, from
the plague-afflicted districts The intelli
gence arrives, but?instead of being better,,
it is that the daily number deaths, in
proportion to the number of inhabitants now,
in Norfolk, is painfully and fearfully large
With unusual malignant venom the yellow
fever continues its work of and
dismay among tho devoted few’ who have
staid— some from from Chris
tian philanthropy, in that post stricken city
With its yellow hand of death and terror, it
I clutches tlie infant from the >?h>tber'swosotn,
i the parent from tho children, ‘.he wakeful
j nurses from the sick couch, il* physician
rorn the patient. Rich and poor, high and
ow, all.fall under its iufedHkns power, and ;
none can siy who ra.- f not be the next vie- j
| tint to its Malignant g. Letters cannot
j picture the occurrences, words cannot a
nd! scribe the heart-rending scenes which this
I severe pestilenceJi&s been thus lengthily cu- j
! i-eting in the above unfortunate city. If is
; indeed too pailful a theme to dwell uron. !
1 • * !
By reliable accounts, we find that during j
the twenty-four hours up to Friday after
noon, fifty-two deaths had taken place in ‘
Norfolk, and that a great number of new j
cases had occurred in different pari a of the j
city. During the same time, twenty six
deaths had occurred in Portsmouth. Thus, j
| it seems, the fever though it lulls cne day. ;
will but increase its fury on the next, as the !
atmospheric changes may affect the patit^its.

Cost or English Royalty.—Queen Vic
toria's household and relatives arc a very
exjiensive troupe to Great Britain. In addi
tion to herself aud Albert, there is paid from
! tho public treasury v%st nramunitles for her
uncles and nuuts and cousins ; aud r.ot for
those alone remaining at home, but forsomu
who have married the pauper princes of Ger
many. In all, these State paupers cost near
ly a year ; and ns quite a num
ber of them are foreigners, the bills upon
our State almshouse aro uot to be considered
by the side of what England pays for tho
royal paupers of ..foreignextraction.” This
items run thus : lucome for the Queen, sl,-
925,000. This does not include vast expen
ditures for extending and renewing palaces,
keeping yachts, traveling for herself and
whoever visits her, for which extra appto
printicna are. made. Next on tho list is
Leopold, King of the Belgians, £25,00# for
a fifveign King. The Duchess of Kent, the
Queen motlior, draws £150.000, and the ro
&qlar allowance of Prince Albert is thosamo;
bii* hi it costs considerable for him to keep
fii bounds, burses and besides he must do
sonmtbtteg for his poor relatives at homo,
wholo kingdom docs uot yield a million
of renuue, they allow him auother sjlOO,-
000 for vim appointments he holds, A quar
ter of a million dollars per annum, is quite
a sum to tffijqport a husband for the Queen,
who does Ids part to provide children, that
tho taxes shalinever be less. After Prince
