Abandons. —We are requested to say that the Yellow River “Gift Enterprise” heretofore ad vertised in onr columns has been abandoned. PAINFUL RUMOR. We arc informed, by a gentleman from Mari' etta, there is little doubt that the two Georgians reported to be lost on the ill-fated Lexington who got on at Smithland, were Messrs. C. C. and R. Bostwick of the former place, they having taken that route North, and being in the vincinity when last heard from. Two gentlemen left Marietta Sunday evening for the scene of the disaster, end will ascertain if it be so. The Messrs. Bost wick were amongst the most energetic and in fluential citizens of Marietta and the interest felt in their fate is painful and exciting. •Gov. Gardiner of Massachusetts has written Gov. Johnston a letter urging Pennsylvania to join the East. That portion of the State Coun cil sympathising with the abolitionists, has repu diated the Philadelphia platform by striking out the 12th article. Niggerdom rules the State.” The above is a telegraphic despatch which ap pears in most of our Northern exchanges.— Doubtless, it is true, with but a solitary exception. Niggerdom does not rule Pennsylvania, if by that is meant abolitim. Not all the Governor Gard ners and Johnstons in Massachusetts and Penn sylvania, that can be paraded, will be able to put down the democracy there, in their war against Know Nothingism and Abolition. But twelve months ago, the former carried Philadelphia by over 5000 votes. Recently, the sober, second thought of the people prevailed, and Know Noth ingism met with defeat. In Massachusetts the Order may prevail, and nigeerdom “rule the roast.” But in Pennsylvania, never.' FIRST FRUITS. Two lectures have already been delivered in N. York, by a fanatic named Adams, upon the anti- Repuhlicanisin of the Methodist Church, and fanatic though he is, already have followers flocked to his standard. In this, no one can fail to see an advance in that proscriptive policy, which, for religious opinion sake, would deprive one portion of our fellow-citizens of the privileges they now enjoy uuder the Constitution, flow far this spirit will spread, and how soon Baptists, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, or all of them, will be called upon to battle for their respective rights, God only knows. Revolutions, it is said, never go backwards, and unless the progress of Know Nothingism be stopped, a change in fundamen tal principles of our government will be made, which to all intents and purposes will be rcvo/u --tion. Already we have before us, in this charla tan of a lecturer, a sample of the first firuits, or what they will he, of that persecuting spirit, which leads men to extremes, all over thia land of Republicanism. And of our Methodist friends do not perceive, and resist it, a crusade will ere long be made against their church, which may kindle the epark into a blaze, oceans may not suflice to quench, or patriotism subdue. “Be ye watchful,” is a text that should be preached from often in these days of intolerance. THE RIGHT OF REPRESENTATION. That the success of the American Party, will - affect the right of representation —“a right formi dable to tyrants only’’—and for which our revol .* 1 ..w.l klazl will ks* ovillitnt 111 utionary sirea fought and bled, will be evident io . all who carefully examine their principle#. It is openly and boldly proclaimed that Catholics and < foreigners by birth shall not hold oilice. Thia | will be a constitutional provision, whenever the ( American Party, as it is falsely called, comes into power. Although then, he may he elected by the people, a Catholic, or citizen of foreign birth, « cannot legislate. Virtually this is a denial of the f right of representation; and practically it will ( prove to bo so. The United States will then pre sent a strange spectacle truly. Who thin will * dare to talk of Britiahtyranny 1 Catholic eman- t cipation, so far as regards this right, has long ] since prevailed. In the British Parliament, the j Catholic sits, and votes, and legislates. How , will it be in America, ruled by such“Amuricans” 1 as recently assembled at Philadelphia? Shame < upon the intolerant, proscriptive, anti-republican , Order! In thia ago of progress; of advancement , in Art, and Science ; who would suppose that in free, enlightened America, a party could be or- ' ganized advocating principles so obnoxious to our i revolutionary sires—so acceptable to “tyrants on ly” ! Verily, in government, this is a step back to a dark age, when in all else, the cry is onwaid onward! And we can only account for the trange delusion, when we compare it to other hings, by supposing that “too much learnin g have made” these reformers—these new light politicians— mad. OUR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. Benjamin H. Hill, Esq., of the city of La- Grange, whom we see announced in the South ern Recorder, as an independent candidate for Congress in this district, addressed the citizens of thia “village" of Atlanta, on Saturday night last, doubtless, much to their edification, if report be true, for we had not the pleasure of being pres ent on the occasion. Judge Warner will have to be “up and about” or thia young Roscius ol New Light-ism; a sympathiser with, if we are correctly informed, and an advocate of, but not a Know Nothing ,■ will tear him into “doll rags,” and ride “rough shod” over all opposition into a seat in Congress !! This, at least, was the opin ion confidently expressed by the many admirers of the gentleman's address immediately after its delivery—these admirers composed chiefly, of course, of the Know Nothings of this vicinity.— How it happened that there were found so many who objected to the principles advanced, and conclusions drawn by Mr. Hill, quite astonished “the nativej." Yet so it was, and we shall not attempt to advance reasons for it. Mr. Hill played his part, had his say, and performed about aa well as any" candidate “after a wild hunt for office," on his side of politics, could do. And here, for the present, we shall let the gentleman rrat. rvau But one of the results of the demonstration re ferrad to above, was a rally of the Anti-Know Nothings at the Athenaum, on Monday evening last. Considering the dimensions of our “village,” there was a pretty fair turn out, the house being filled to overflowing, and it, we are assured, is capable of holding one thousand jiersons. This large, ami we may add, enthusiastic meeting, was addressed by two of our fellow-citizens. Captain Nelson, and Col. Howard—the former leading olfin a speech of some length, directing his re marks mainly, to an exposition, or exposure, of the Know Nothing Platform, and the presump tion of the Order in claiming to be an American Party. While the latter. Col. Howard, handled without gloves” the author of said platform, ex posed its inconsistencies, dangerous tendencies to Southern Rights, and ably sustained the action ■and platform of the Democracy of Georgia. Both the gentlemen were repeatedly cheered by the audience, and made an impression which cannot ibut.prove adverse to the Know Nothings in this vicinity. for fact, we are advised that there is trouble in thevr camp, or lodge, in this place, and withdrawals are *ow becoming the order of the day. Wr rejoice pt fhls. for we are well advised that deception was practised upon many an un wary and confiding man, ,-o get him’ into the midnight conclave. But free Jiscussha cannot but enlighten all such, and s3mi>ede, alter Stampede, from the Order, will be xhe conse quence. At a late hour, the ntaeting adjourned but. previous to its adjournment, Mr. Overb- . the candidate of the Prohibition Partv for G ernor. who occupied a seat on the stage » the speakers, was invited to address the aud - r NOTICE. The Democratic party of DeKalb county is re- j quested to meet at Decatur on the first Tuesday in August for the purpose ot nominating tiele gates from the several Militia Districts—to meet at some future time to select candidates for the Legislature at the ensuing election. MANY VOTERS EP" Intelligencer please copy. The beautiful lines from the pen of that gifted lady, Mrs. Maria Gertrude Buchanan, entitled “The Lone Star,” which originally appeared in a St. Louis paper, we have been favored with, and present it to-day to our readers. Next to her lines, on the origin of the “Star Spangled Ban ner,” “The Lone Star,” comes in for a large share of our admiration. There is genuine poetry in every line of it, and as worthy' ot a place in every lady’s album, and in every patriots he art we give it to our readers. A COMPLIMENT. The handsome compliment—a fine bottle of Old Maderia and the bountiful supply of cake that accompanied the same—received by us on yester day, as a wedding favor, we appreciate most highly. With a party of friends we enjoyed the agreeable present, and as long as the wine lasted drank to the health and prosperity of the heauti- ; fuf bride and gallant bridegroom—the first an accomplished representative oi LaGrange’s fairest daughters; and the last of the Profession in Atlanta, who can boast many an able advocate, but as is now proven none abler than he, at least with the “Fair”. May prosperity attend the hap py couple. A NEW AND VALUABLE BOOK. j We have before us the “Pocket Formulary, I and Physician’s Manual,” published by W- | Thorne Williams, of Savannah, and which is for j sale at the Drug establishment of Smith & Ezzard. I in this city. This work embraces the art of combining and prescribing medicines, and contains many valua ble receipts, tables, and so forth, adapted to the profession throughout the United States, and has been placed before the public by Doctor Thomas 8. Powell, of Sparta, in this State, who has devo ted years of labor to it To the medical profes sion of the United States, it is dedicated, and as far as we are capable of judging, it must prove a valuable pocket companion to every physician, and a most useful book to every family. The author claims no originality save in the arrange ment of the work, which is admirable throughout. For the volume before us, we would not be de prived, for an hundred times its cost, were we unable to procure another. To mothers, and all heads of families, it is an invaluable work, and we rejoice that it is the production of a Georgia physician. We earnestly commend it to the public. It supplies what has long been wanted by both the profession and families. KNOW NOTHINgVsSOCIATIONS. i If the reader will go back to the Philadelphia ■ Convention ot Know Nothings, and note who composed it he will arrive at conclusions, which, as a Southern man, will startle him not a little. In times of great political excitement we are as apt to pass by important things, as trivial, as we are to make trivial ones, important. Hence, in noticing the platform put forth by the Conven tion r ferred to, and in exposing the absurdities, and humbuggery of, not to say treachery to, the South, we have passed over what we deem one important feature of that Body. We shall now present it, if not in all its deformity to our readers, at least in such manner, as will enable each one . to draw the picture fcr himself. From the South, who were delegated to, and who attended this Philadelphia Convention oi Know Nothings ? In the main, they were mon i of comparatively obscure position—disappointed j hunters after office—some of them federalists of the old school —scarcely one of them a Sta e Right I Republican—and all of them advocates of the abominable, State selling, doctrine, that to the ' Supreme Court must be submitted, as a final umpire, all questions upon which Sovereign Geor- | gia, or any other sovereign State, may differ with | the Federal Government. In plainer language, byway of illustration, if a Protective Tariff be : imposed upon the South by a reckless Congress, in extent far more oppressive than the old “Hill of Abominations" was, the South must abide the decision of the Supreme Court, whatever may be the tax upon her industry and her soil! And it the same reckless Congress declare, or enact, that no longer shall slavery exist in the District of Columbia; that property in slaves shall not be recognized any where, as some of the States have already resolved ; and that it must be abolished in the States; the South is bound to submit to the decision ot the Supreme Court, as the film* arbiter between it and the Government! Ina word, whatever the subject of difference; however I vitally the South may be stabbed by infringements of her Constitutional rights; she is no longer in the Union as separate, distinct, and Sovereign States; but is lost, and is part only of a grand, consolidated government, without a constitution and with a President, requiring only the crown and sceptre to make him like unto Ca-sar or Au- ! gustus of old, or a Napoleon in modern times.— I The South, then, was represented in that Conven- ’ tion, by those whose political creed would lead to such results We challenge successful con- ; tradiction to this assertion. Let its, the Con. vention's advocates, point out one prominen- Southern actor in that Body—one whose politi- i cal history, the people ot his own Stale is eouvei. sent with, and they will point out one whois justly chargeable with all that we here assert. — . The exception will bo only found in the weak and . minor spirits of the Body, most ot whom are vic- j time always to their party leaders. Now let us look at the Northern portion of the delegates, who, in part, composed that long to be-remembered Convention ! Were there any Douglas's, any Richardsons, any Brights, any Dodges, any Cass’s, any of that sterling band of patriots who perilled all, in the Kansas and Ne braska struggle to maintain Southern Rights, and the Constitution, in that Convention 1 Can one solitary delegate of any note (save from Califor nia) be pointed out who was not inimical, nay, hostile to the South, and bitterly so to our institu tions ? If there were, let the people of the South know them ! Already wo know that Wilson and Gardner, and their satellites, sat in that conclave, side by side with Southern men ! Already we know that the latter, having the majority of del egites, entreated and beseeched these foul mouthed traitors of Massachusetts and elsewhere, to per. secute the South no more, at least to endorse the Southern platform! Already we know that their entreaties were derided, scorned. and that in the teeth of these Southern pleaders, the intention was declared to wage a deadly, never ending war, until all niggerdom should bi- tree, and the South bow in sttbawvton to anti-slavery power! Already the South knows thes? facts, and she now calls, or will loudly call arT* *■" inand to know, wherein her interests, her rights her honor, can be maintained by givmg the sba-Uw tff her countenance to the Philadelphm " Tng Platform .' <’w -i-iorts of foreign dry goods at New ' • Ist week, show a failing off o» I nonsot dollars as compared with the 1 c week ot last year. i Religions action against Know Nothlnyiam. ■ i A correspondent of the Stark county I (Ohio) Democrat, signing himself a “Lu theran of Pittsburg,’’ writes that the members of the Lutheran churches in that city and vicinity intend demanding oi ! each and every one of their ministers, re spectively, an answer from the pulpit to a question similar to the following : “Wheth er it is consistent with the doctrines of our church for a minister or lay member to connect himself by an oath with a secret midnight, political order, proscriptive and intolerant in its character, and opposed to the principle of persons “worshipping •J od according to the dictates of their own conscience?’’ After expressing a hope that, throughout the whole country, the members of the Lutheran church will pursue the same line of conduct, the wri- ' ter says: I “The reasons which impel us to adopt ’ : such a course are obvious; for how can | : we, with any Christian feeling, assemble : with men around the Sacramental Altar,i and partake of the body and blood of our , Saviour, when we know, at the same time, ■ there are men participating with, or per- ■ haps administering the same to us, who ! are sworn to lie ? | “If Dr. Martin Luther were now alive, j and in our midst, his eloquent and con- ■ viucing voice could be heard, and if any of his followers, as ministers, would re fuse to answer such questions, he would , again,as he did often before, denounce! them as 'sneaking and clandestine preach-1 era.’ ! “ We, as Lutherans, contemplate pur- j suing this course—that if our ministers : decline to purge our church of Christless j members, we design to purge it of Christ j less preachers.” [From the Nashville Union.] Andrew J. Donelson.—All the know nothing papers are quoting with particular emphasis the fact that Andrew J. Donel son —or A. Jackson Donelson,” as they print it —is a know nothing, and was a member of the late know nothing conven tion. They refer to him as being “the adopted son and heir of Gen. Jackson.” This is not true. Major Andrew Jackson, the adopted son and heir of Gen. Jackson, his private secretary during a portion of his administration, and the present occu pant of the hermitage, is a firm and con sistent democrat, and as utterly opposed to know nothingism as we are ourselves. He authorises us to make this statement. This is also the position, to the best of our knowledge and belief, of all the famiiy connexions of Gen. Jackson in Tennessee i who have ever been democrats, with the : exception of Maj. Donelson. ; Maj. Andrew J Donelson is the broth er-in-law of the know nothing candidate for I Gov. of this State, and has not been swecess . ful in applications for office to this admin- I istration. lie has not a half a feather’s weight of influence in Tennessee, and it is understood that he has just been defeated i for the know nothing nomination for the ■ legislature in this county. This explana tion may be useful at a distance. But here in Tennessee, and especially here in Nashville, his conduct and his position are so utterly unimportant that we did not regard it as necessary to notice at all his letter to that especial friend of Gen. Jackson, Mr. Allen A. Hall, in which he told how he had discontinued his subscrip tion to this paper for an alleged fault of Mr Eastman's in 1850, but did not tell that he had, only one year ago, subscribed to the paper directly to Mr. Eastman him- | self.

The candidates were—Charles E. Kanapaux and John E. Darew.— 3,610 votes were polled, being an excess of 1,190 votes over the Sheriff’s vote in 1851. The result is doubtful. The votes will bo counted on Wednesday next. ARREST OF THE CHARLESTON FORGER. The cotton-bill of lading forger, J. C. Nichols, alias J. N. Craton, alias J. C.

New Orleans, July 9.—The steamer Magnolia Banner, with 100 bales of cot ton, has been consumed below Baton Rouge. Eight lives were lost. MORTALITY AT NEW ORLEANS- New Orleans, July 9.—There were i 161) deaths in this city last week, includ ' ing 32 from yellow fever, and 19 from chol- I era. TWO STEAMERS BURNED. A despatch was received yesterday, ; from Keokuk, stating that the steamer i Prairie State had been destroyed by tire at j Rock Island, on Sunday last. The steam ■ei Kentucky, also lying at Rock Island, I was burned at the same time The dis patch does not give any particulars, and i it is not known how the fire originated. The Prairie State had just come off the I ways, where she had been undergoing re i pairs, and was empty. She was five years •I old, valued at 87,000 and owned by the ! Keokuk Packet Co. The Kentucky was lan old boat, valued at about 85,000, and . commanded and part owned by Capt. Hughes. So far as we can learn, there | was no insurance on either boat. Sam Houston as a Duelist.—Judge J (says a Texas paper) tells a tale about ! Sam Houston which is “good enough to . print." During the canvass that resulted in Sam’s beating Burnett for the Presi dency of Texas, some rather harsh terms I had passed between the parties, when Bur nett took occasion to send Houston a , challenge. Previous to its reception, Sam . got information of the intention of his op , ponent; and when Dr. Archer, who was sent by Mr. Burnett to deliver the chal lenge, was introduced into Mr. Houston’s room, he found that gentleman in bed, , groaning, apparently suffering with the ' ; most excruciating j ain. It was some time before the distin.

Her i name is Mrs. Parsons. Ten years ago I she was living happily with her husband ; who was a clever shoemaker, in London, j comfortable in circumstances, mid blessed with domestic peace About that time the husband became a convert to Mormon ism. under the influence of the preaching of the proselytes of the Church of latter Day Saiuts, who wore strolling over Eng- i land and Wales. Os course his wife re ceived and embraced the faith, too.—the 1 abominable doctrine of polygamy be ing sturdily denied by those who pre ; tend to be the orthordox expounders of I the creed. Her husband abandoned his : his trade and turned preacher, travelling I over France and England to disseminate i the Mormon doctrines. Os course the | wife was left pretty much to shift for her i self and her young children. Things j went on till she come to America, about a ) I year ago, on her way to Utah, with a com-j ! pany of Mormon emigrants. Her hus j band remained in Europe to superintend ! the embarkation of other emigrants, and j ' promised to meet her in St. Louis. j When the poor woman arrived here, [ I she found no provision made for her sup ! port, and no arrangements made for her I i passage across the plains. She was, there-, ! fore, compelled to seek employment to • I earn a scanty support for her and her j j starving children. By stitching shoes; I she managed to live through the winter, I j and in the spring her husband arrived, i j and proceeded forthwith up the Missouri i I river to the Mormon encampment at Ach- j j ison, in Kansas territory, commanding her ■ |to follow. Devoted in her attachment to ; ' her brute of a husband, and trusting sin-! j cerely in the Mormon faith as represented ' • I to her, she embarked on another boat and I seached Achison, in quest of her husband. ! i There she found him living in a tent with j two women, to whom he had been spirit ' I ually “sealed.” Her feelings and con j ditions may be better imagined than de-; | scribed. She was crushed and heart-bro- * ' | ken. She tried to induce the brute to ' abandon his mistresses and protect her, but she was spurned by him, who intima ted that she must shift for herself. She represented her case to the ecclesiastical chief,, on the ground, and urged him to ' see her righted, but that precious disci- i 1 pie told her that she was a stiff necked ’ reprobate, stinking in the nostrils of every I good Mormon. Heart-broken and des ’ i pairing, she took her two children and '; made her way from the camp five miles ’ ’ to Achison, where she stated her case to ’ a generous citizen. He promised to pro ! tect her with his life, and aided her in * getting aboard the F. X. Aubrey, then on ■ her way down the river. She had but ’ j three dollars, which she offered to the cap "; tain for her passage to St. Louis, but he, : like a generous man that he is, brought 1 her down for nothing. Information of her situation reached I the ears of two or three charitable ladies I of the city, who secured a place for her ■ in the Home of the Friendless, and provi ! ded a temporary retreat for her chil ’ dren. 1 fl®* We find in the St. Louis Kepubli- I i cen some further items of neW' from the . 1 Plains, received by the late arrival which I xrn chninin we sunjoin. Four companies of the military were to be stationed ata new fort on the Bon ito, in the heart of the Mescalero coun try. Mr. Magraw, contractor for carrying the Salt Lake mail, has returned from a trip as far as the Blue. At that point he met with Lieut. Heath, who reported all quiet at Fort Laramie. Rev. Mr. Tolhurst was ordained at Albuquerque, the service being performed by Rev. Mr. Read, Rev. Mr. Gorman, and Rev. Mr. Shaw. There was a great assemblage of Americans on the occa sion. Major Rose, late agent of the Utah In dians in Utah Territory, with his family, arrived at Atchison, Kansas, on the 21st ult Sixteen persons accompanied him. He saw no hostile Indians. The Indians convicted of the murder of Capt. Gunnison and his party who were tried at Salt Lake, sentenced to the peni tentiary, and thence made their escape, were afterwards re-taken and securely con fined in prison. Mr. John Ray writes to the editors of ' the Squatter Sovereign that he left the ■ valley of Salt Lake on the Sth May, and met several trains for California and else where. A portion of the U. S. troops were met twenty miles east of Fort Kear ney. The mail party from Santa Fe to Inde pendence met with no interruption what ever. There was watei and grass in abun dance. Emigrant trains were met at North ’ Plate, to the number of one hundred wag i ons. A few were seen between that aud ■ I Kearney, but many more were met from that point to Fort Leavenworth.

Long, from Liverpool, at 1 o’clock I on Saturday afternoon, the 23d inst., ar- I rived at this port yesterday afternoon, and sailed shortly after for Boston, where , she will be due at an early hour on Fri- 1 day morning. i The steamer North Star, of the Van- i derbilt line line arrived at Havrie on the 20th ult. The steamer Herman, from Bremen, via Southampton, sailed from the latter port on the 20th ult for New York, having on board 250 passengers some 350 tons of cargo. THE SEIGE OF SEVASTOPOL. Lord Raglan’s dispatch and the news- I paper correspondence are at hand, dcscrib ! ing the gallant capture of the Mamelon I and the Quarries. The details are highly ! i interesting but the main facts have been ; already stated, with general correctness. . DEFEAT OF THE ALLIES---TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER, The Allies have made an unsuccesful attempt to storm Sevastopol. The most i sinister rumors prevail in regard to the > transaction. By some accounts the Eng | lish loss is set down at four thousand men, j but the report is believed to be much ex- ■ aggerated. i The following are the only official noti- I fications of the event: “Lord Panmure regrets to have to an- I nounce that he has received information ! that the English troops attacked the Re dan and the French, the Malakoff towers ■ at daylight on the morning of the 18th, ; without the success which has hitherto attended our efforts. Both the French and ourselves have suffered considerably. The names of the officers who have fallen will be forwarded immediately, but it will be impossible to receive complete returns I of all the casualties before the Both inst., ’ (June,) at the earliest.” The Moniteur announces that the Gov ernment has received two dispatches from General Pelissier —the first dated the 17th informs of operations concerted between the General and his Allies, and that the Turks and Chasseurs made a reconnisance • towards Aitodar, General Bosquet occu pying the Tchernaya. The next day at; daybreak the French and English were to attack the Malakoff tower. The second dispatch dated the 18th, annonneos that the attack had failed and that although the troops had shown the greatest ardor and had gained a looting in the Malakoff tower, General Pelissier was obliged to order their retreat into the parallel. This was affected with order and without mo lestation by the enemy. Private accounts published in the Lon don Standrrd say “the loss of the British officers in killed and wounded amounts to no less than seventy. Among the killed are General Sir J. Campbell, Col. Yea i and Col Shadforth. From the obstinacy and courage with which the combat was maintained by the British at the Redan, and the necessity of eventualty retiring from the attack the slaughter on all sides has been immense, and if the information be correct, the loss in killed and wounded of the British alone amounts to verv lit- . tie short of 4000. The greatest portion of the loss was expeiienced in a ravine where a powerful and unexpected battery was opened on the troops. There is reas on to fear that the loss has been very great, but Lord Palmerston said last night no additional information had arrived.— The allies lost terribly by the Russians springing a mine, and during the confu j sion they recaptured the Mamelon Tow . i e r - ‘ Previous advices wore to the 17th, sta ting that there had been smart firing on I both sides but without any result of im ! portance. A despatch from Bucharest via Vienna ; confirms that an expedition has been un i dertaken against. Perekop. Pellissier is j exceedingly savage against the telegraph ic messages Napoleon sends him. He is -! reported to have recently replied that ,; when anything occurs he will let the Em- I peror Snow, but that he has not time to j act as telegraph operator. This, accord | ing to rumor, accounts for the recent ab- I sence of news in the Moniteur. 4 THE BLACK SEA. | The Russian account of the successes J of the Allies in the Sea of Azoff is publish • ed. Gortschakoff confirms the successes i! claimed by the Allies, but says that ope rations against the Sea of Azoff were ex j peeted—that not having means to oppose j the hostile fleets, the garrisons had orders to blow up the batteries and retire—that | the grain stores burned by the Allies were : mostly private propertp, and do not ma terially affect the supply of the array.— .; Since anticipating such an attack, sup- I plies were mostly conveyed by laud, not- > , withstanding the facilities offered by sea. j The correspondence relates the horrible ! . atrocities perpetrated by the French and ; ! Turks at the capture of Kertsch. A boat '! expedition is rumored, to be preparing to ' i enter tho river Don, butthe Russians have i the entrance defended by twenty-seven ' I gun boats. General Aduganon vice Hetman of the . Cossacks of the Don has issued an address I ’' for their general enrolment as militia. ;| ASIA.

Specimens cf work will be exhibited to all who desire it. IV We take pleasure in recommending the highly valuable, and excellent preparation of Kursaparilla manufactured by Dr. Thomas A.
