The accounts we have hitherto published
of the battle of Inkermann, on toe 5th, we
now find,, failed to convey any impression
of its horrible realities. Trie correspondent
of the London Times, writing from the
field of battle on the 5th, says:
And now commenced the bloodiest strng-

mitraille wais poured into them, and volleys
of rifle and musketry. The Guards were
broken ; they had tost twelve officers, who
fell in the field; they had left one-half their
number on the ground,' and they retired
along the lower road of the valley. They
were soon reinforced, however, and speedily
avenged their loes. The French advanced
about ten o’clock and turned the flank uf
the enemy.
The second division, in the uentre of the
line, were hardly pressed. The 41st regi
ment, in particular, were exposed to a terri

^ of the newspapers, we perceive, in
Tfififtag of the power to establish a uniform
rale of naturalization throughout the United
States, treat the subject as if that body had
authority to'direct what classes of perrons
may be admitted by the State Government
to the right ef suffrage. In some of the
States, a foreigner who has been a short
time a resident in the country may vote in
tbelocal elections without going through
the process of naturalization. This is, the
case in California, in Michigan, and in two
or throe other States. These provisions of
the State constitutions are spoken of as if
Congress had power to annual them.
If that be the case, they are inoperative
already. The Constitution of Michigan

Kuo\v«No(l)iiigik]u in Congress.
A nneoinent was made in the House of
Representative- on yesterday which indi
cates the early introduction into the ili-cu<-
sioi.s of that body of the doctrines of kuow-
nothingism. Mr. Taylor, of Tennessee, gave
notice that at some early day he would in
troduce a bill either modifying or repealing
the naturalization law'. From thc fo’-m in
which tho notice was given, we infer that
the mover is not yet determined whether to
propose an out-and out proscription of for
eigners, or a modification of the present nat
uralization laws. Mr. Taylor is .,ne of the
few southern men who voted at tlie last ses
sion against the Karlas and Nebraska bill.
He is a whig and a Methodist preacher, lie
Represents a district which probably bn- in

such a constituency. Until the bill uf Mr.
Taylor is brought forward, we shall not un

provisions. M e are far from regretting his
movement: we care not how -oon or how
I thoroughly the objects and doctrines of the

Nothing short of discussion will expose the
dangers of its principles. For the time be

and religion itself mavyuffer temporary inju

will snfferpernmnent damage. The popular
judgement will decide now, as it has done
before, that a complete separation of Church

Death of Charles Kemulh.—The Uon-
don Times, has an interesting obituary of
this veteran actor, who died a few weeks
since in the 80th year of his age. He is tlie
last, we believe, of the old Tvemblcs, all of
whom were great actors. There were first
Mrs. Siddons: second, John Philip Kemble;
third Stephen Kemble ; fourth, Mrs. Mason
and last, Charles Kemble. We doubt wheth
er so many great actors ever belonged to
one family before.
Charles Kemble first appeared as Orlan
do, in Shakespear’s play of “As you Like
It.” He gave no promise of excellence in
his early years, but improving as ho went
on, he rose to the first honors of tho profes
sion in his line of character. 1832 he came
to tlie United States with his daughter, Fan
ny, who had then been on tho stage for
more than a year. The brilliant success of
that expedition is well remembered. While
here, his principal characters were Clifford
Mercuitio, Fazio, Charles Surface and Ham
let. He returned to Europe during the fol
lowing year, leaving behind him his daugh
ter, who had become Mrs, Butler, by mar
riage with Mr. Pierce Butler, of Philadel
phia.
