8F1R1I OF TRK KOBBIHe PRKW
The Union diachssM the false ism? which
are before the country, offending thai Know
Kothingism seeka, practically, to unite Church
?ad State in this country, and to bring about
the violation cf ihe solemn covenant mad? by
the State with the adopted citizen, when he
becomes naturalised. The organ also replies
to the following remark of the Intelligencer's,
made not lorg sitce, vis: '*11 it required all
the 'odds and ends,' in union with the Whigs,
to brirg about a defeat so disastrous to the
Democracy, will it not require the same sortol
maten&U to give thai party a vietury?" The
editor's deience against the insinuation oi
b pandering to isms, involved in the question as
asked by the Intelligencer, is triumphant. He
?hows, conclusively, that where the ismites
?vote with the Democracy, it is never under
the belief that the creed of "the party" sus
tains their kinks.
The Sentinel urge* the Richmond Whig to
axoept from its sweeping denunciations of
Northern p* liticians, those Democrats who
have been faitbful to the compromises of the
Constitution, as it (the Smtiiul) praises the
Nebraska bill Whigs of Illinois, &c.
The hutlligmttr, in reply to Democratic
efforts to identify Mr. Fillmore with Aboli
tionism, nn thn gmunl that yea> 8 ago he wrote
a pretty ultra offi3e seeking ami slavery let
ter, remarks th.?t he always had the manliness
to refaso to pledgo himself to any other party
than the Wui& party, and that when trusted
by the people, '? he did, whilst President, what
4 the great body of the oalm-thinking people
?of the Union thought Tight. He was fairly
* tried in times of peril to the Union, and proved
* himself to be an American statesman. This
?is a title of whfch any man may be proud."
The Result of the late Election in Pennsyl

"We extract the following from the Journal
of Commerce, which we think the true state
of the ca*e, relative to the late election in
Penn ylvania:
James Pollock defeats William Bigler.

addition will nut vary this one hundred votes
Judge P. was the candidate of the Whigs.
Know Nettling. Temperance. Anti-Nebraska
and all other sorts of ism* .The vote is below
40.000, exceeding very slightly the aggregate
of 1851.
Henry S. Mott was the Drmccratic. Know

and defeats his two competitors over 100,000
votes.
Jeremiah S. Black. (Democrat.) present chief
Justice, was a candidate for re election to the
post of Supreme Judge, and is elected by
40,000 votes over either of b:*s competitors
Their votes combined exceed his some 20.000
votes, and his whole vote is less than that of
Gov. Bigler.
Ihe Senate official is 17 Democrats of the

THE CONTEST IN THE CRIMEA.
The following is an extract from the letter
of a distinguished American abroad, upon the
prospect of the allies in the Crimea. It em
braces the observation of a man capable cf
judging in sueh cases :
Lonoo*, Oct. (J, 1854.
* * # # *
The eagerness with which John Bull was
taking ?evaatopol, by apocryphal telegraphs,
amused me on arriving at Live pcol.
You will remember the < fhcial telegraph of
the battle of the Alma, by the Baltic, showed
only two Ku.-sian guns taken This fact ot
two guns, imt lying as it did a steady retreat,
convinced me that bevus.opol had not yet
fallen.
You will see that the basis of operations is
Ralaklava This old lienoese colony, wiih its
beautiful harbor, is about twelve miles, over u
good road, to the south of {Sevastopol What
a triumph is shown in all this f?r laud fortifi
ca'ions ! To take the small and almost unfor
tified Balaklava. to as to use its harbor tor
landing ri< go batteries, the allies are ob iged
to maroh au army overland from Eupatoria,
fighting twu baitles by the way !
The great question now. is the whereabout*
of Mentchikiff If in frevaatopcl. his fate is
sealed; but if, as seems probable, be is at
Simferopol (or perhaps as near as Bokshi
serai,; with 20 000 cavalry, which he ought to
have from the Lkraine, the Anglo French^rmj

matters would n-jt have te6n driven up as

order for attack.

AaREST or a Southern Editor 11* New
Yore for Librl?Mr. Wellington, propric
tor of the Charleston (South Carolina) Conner,
being on a visit to New York, waa, on Satur
day last, arrested at the inatance of Rufua W
Oriswold, on the charge of libel. The alleged
libel waa contained in a letter written from
New York touching Mr. O.'s domestic affairs
Such ooi-duct on the part of the people of the
North is oontemptibie and cowardly, and cal
culated to produce a feeling at the South that
will do more toward dissolving the union of
Statee than anything else. Tarring and feath
ering Yankee abolition schoolmasters is noth
ing to be compared to it Hereafter, no South
ern editor, or pub.i: speaker, who has said or
written anything against the aisunionists of
tae North, will dare to visit New York with
out having a libel suit on his back, at the in
atanoe of Fred. Douglas, Horace Ureeley, or
Spooner, or Qnawold Southern merchants,
aad thoee in thia region of the couutry who
pander to the feeliDgs of the North and aid in
the dissemination of Northern isms, should
bear theae things in mind.
'ihe Caivalry of the Age.
There ia not in the history of the human
raee auch another ins'.ance of mean cowardice,
as that exemplified in the disaster of the Arctic,
wherein not a single womun was saved, though
lwO men were?men who walked over th?
helpless ereware3; treading them into watery
graves to save themaelvea. Thia affair is a
blot epon the history of man, whioh will stand
out for ages to give the lie to the sex's profea
sloas etf honor gallantry and true oourage.
WAoilUUION I- iWS AND OOS8IF.
The Sevastopol Roorback?The Sevastopol
first news shows how the American public are
allowing themselves to be humbugged by Eng- j
lish newspapers, in the course of the ferocious
war of prejudice and self-interest ou the pari
of England against Russia. Thee English
accounts biing to mind their former misrepre
sentation of every thing in their las;, war with
us. For three days all England was in an ec
stacy of delight over the assumption that tht
j allied, armies had, in a war of wanton inva
sion of Russia, slaughtered some twenty 01
thirty thousand of its iuuocent inhabitants
I such is the boasted philanthropy of the Eng
lish ! After the=e three days of drunken ex
j al tat ion over the death aud misery which they
faUely supposed they had irflioted on the gar
I risjn and inhabitants of Sevastopol, they
awake from their orgies of self de usion to
find that Sevast pol is jet to be taken, and
;hat, so far us ,>et appears, a larger number of
English and French have di d iu the Crimea
than of Russians ; and thai ihey have actualiy
been impiously rejoicing over the slaughter ot
1 iheir own countrymen! And now, when it is
positively known that Sevastopol is yet to be
taken, the London Times and Ntws are giv ing
us whole columns of stupid falsification ot
what, up m the last advices, was uuquestion
abl?T shown to be iho relative position of the
I allies and the Russians. It appears that on
the 30tfc of September-there was an allied
force, of what amount is not distinctly stated,
at Balak Elava This Is a port at the soutberi
extremity of the Crimea, some fourteen miles
to the southeast of Sevastopol.
| Now, it is to be remembered, that the de
barkation of the allies was at Old Fo*, thirty
miles to the northwest of Sevastopol, and the
I la t authentic intelligence wo have of the
I movement of the force ihar? landed, *raa of a
I battle fought by them on the banks of ihe
I river Alma, which traverses the Crimea from
I east to west, flowing into the Black sea ut a
I point on th4 western coast of the Crimea iu
J termediate between Old Fort and Sevastopol
I There Is a report also, of another engagement
I having been fought alter that of the Alma;
but of this there is no authentic intelligence.
Now, it may be that the allies, after crossing
I (he Alma, u^vanced into the midland of the
1 Peninsula, so as to strike the highway which
I ruus from Pe.ikop on the isthmus of tha en
I tranoe of the Ciiuiea, due south through the
j middle*of the Peninsula. to Sevastopol, anu
faith a fork to Balak Elava. If this be so,
the allies have departed from their original
plan, which was to follow the western coast 01
I ihe Crimea, marching al. ng the sea shore,
I from Old Fort to Sevastopol, so as to attack
I the latier, in the first instance on its north
I western side, under immediate cover of the
ships of war. It i3 quite possible that the
I allies may have been compelled to relinquish
this original purpose, by finding that tho ob
stacles to their advance on tha. side are toi
serious to be safely encountered; and that
therefore, they have made a large detour, fiit
] to tho east and then to ike south, so as to com
j rnence their maiu approaches from the d.rcc
1 tion of Lalak Elava. I'hat is, f. om the
ireme southeast, directly oontrury to thi
original intention. Or, on tho other hand, i
may be that the main bedy of the allies is sul.
held in ooesk on tbe northwestern sido of Se
vastopol and that the foroes reported atBalal
Elava consists of the rcinfuroimen s expected
' from Varna, and wh?ob ???7 uado ?
' separate lauding at iiulak Blsva.
These are nure suppositions, however, tc
acc >unt ior insulated L ? know
wixK?- "6 lutir sequence 01 uuu win; u ?
Out, upon these insulated facta, the Timts and
News are setting up a huge cry of eel: gratu
lation over the assumed fact of the investment
of Sevastopol Wearo surprised at their ut
tering any such fi llies themselves, and still
more surprised that tbe voracious gullibility ol
John Bull is wide mouthed enough to swallow
ruch s.upid no: sense as the suggestion that a
citadel is completely invested by troops, four
teen miles off. at a detached point, aud when
according to ihe dispatches themselves, tbeii
siege artillery has not yet been landed! But
ibe infinite humbuggery of all these newspaper
accounts in Etg and, is still more strikingly
illustrated by toe fact that they tell us tha
Menchikoff, having be%n driven off, could n
receive inlorcemenfc himself. 1 because," (con
ti'ues these wiseacres ) "it is from the south
side of the Crimea only that he c uld receive
them, and the allies have possession in that
direction, since ihey are po-ted at Ba'ai,
Elava !" It is not possible to conceive of an_,
ignorance more superlatively ridiculous than
thi* inference. How are the Russians to get
reinforcements from \ he South? Tho South
is tbe Black Sea. We haven't heard of anv
Russian corps d'armne marching about hither
and thithe. on the surface of the Black Sea,
although the English newspapers contain h
quantity of statements quite as absurd and
monstrous as that would be. It ia not from
the South, but from the North that Menchi
koff is to get reinforcements, for the Crimea if
attached to populous Southern provinces ol
Kn'-dia, by the isthmus of Perikop.
If the allies, instead of putting off their at
tack on the Crimea to the very end of the
season, had oommenoed at an earlier period,
they would have seen the propriety of begin
ning their operations by an attack on Perikop
or at least by establishing defensive lines ol
their own in front of Perikop Then the Ciimea
wou'.d have been, in a military point of view
o ?mpletely cut off from Russia, and tho allies
wuuld have reduced Sevastopol by assault, oi
starved out i's garrison at their leisure. But
for four months they have shrunk?and wisely
too?from what they knew to be a mere enter
prise of desperation?to succeod only by des
perate efforts, and with every chance of failure
on every reasonable calculation,?that is. the
conquest of the Ciimea, inoluding Sevastopol.
Towards the end of the season they were fret
ted and hectored in England by what is called
" public opinion;" and in France by the fears
of the army, if it came back without glory, oi
even occupation while abroad, into undertak
ing, against their better military judgment,
this expedition of tho '.rimea. Under these
circumstances, nothing was left for Lord Rag
lan and Marshal de St. Arnaud but to earn
Sevastopol by a coup de main. But in pro
ceeding thus, they have left their itar wholly
undefended ! If they should take Sevas;opol.
they cannot hold it; for the Russians have
been left by them in possession cf tbe land
communications on tbe north, by which wa
they can bring in troops enough to retake Se
vastopol if necessary, so aoou as it shall have
been taken by tbe French and English.
But that is not tbe worst of it. It is a very
short march trom Odessa to Peiikop, and from
Perikop to Sevastopol, and in the natural
course of things there would happen what we
now know actaaliy hat happened?that great
bodies of Russian troops will have entered the
Crimea by the Isthmus of Perikop. We
Already hear of one large body of troops
Having entered it under Laders, and another
under Osten Sac ken. We hear of Russian troops
being withdawn from Anapa also, which is
to the eastward of the Crimea, to further rein
fjroe MenchfSoff; and we find that he (M ) is
still in the field at the head of an army; and
though the English talk of his only command
ing broken fragments of an army, yet that i%a
very idle way to talk of troops which, it is
otherwise known, retired from the battle of
ihe Alma with a loss of only two guns.
There is another important fact in this rela
tion. The allies are nearly destitute of cav
alry, which arm abounds in the Rufsian ser
vice. especially in Southern Russia; and thus
t&e allies when they oome to invest Sevastopol,
will fiud themselves attacked in the rear by an
overwhelming Russian force. Or, if the Rus
eian infantry should be delayed, there will be
a deluge of Co.-saoks of the Don and the
I kraine prured into Crimea; and this light
cavalry, the terrible efficiency of which, under
such circumstances, is proved by the whole
historv of Napoleon's campaigns, will harrass
the allies incessantly, without the latter be
ing able to move a hand in defence; and thus
gain time for Menehifccff to bring up the
masses of the infantry and heavy artillery of
his Russians.
Ultra Southernism. ?We are not a little
amused bv the efforts of the Baltimore Patriot
to appear intensely devoted to the righis and
interests of the South. It will be reoolleoteii
that all who are now identified with that jour
nal were original advocates of the compromise
of 1850, wherein the South was made to wear
the collar of inferiority, only through the
desertion of these of her sons in whose eyes
the u flesh pots" of the patronage of the Gov
ernment were of more importance than her
honor, rights, and interests. Frightened by
the intensely selfish clamor against her co
equality that filled tho Northorn air, we pre
sume, they aided in fastening upon her on
that occasion tho badge of inferiority, which
being so placed by tho aid of that portion of
her own sons, has emboldened Northern dem
agogues to get up the existing crusade against
her, in the belief that the same Southern par
ties will again rush forwarfd to aid their pur
poses, under the preteDse of " saving the
Union," which is, in fact, only to be preserved
by an honest adherence on the part of the Gen
eral Government to its constitutional rights
and uuties, neither of whioh justify discrimin
ation againft the institutions or interests of
either section of the Confederacy. When
uniting with the North to force the compro
mise of inferiority under the Government of
tho United States on their Southern brethren)
their " bilge irjections" were freely squirted
over every Southern man who advocated the
maintenance, on the part of the South, of all
ner rights under the Constitution. Their la
bors earned their proper reward in the tornado
of unpopulari;y which attached to all South
ern men w ho had taken part in this sale of their
birth-right for a mess of potage in expectancy.
Now, forsooth, they spring forward to seem to
be the very head and front of the South in
the cur rent contest, as though aoknon lodg
ing the foul wrong they dii in aidirg to fas
ten the badge of inferiority on their own sec
lion. We Presume that so long as the present
generation of men live at the South, they will
remember by and through whose desertion of
their oause in 1^50 they were forced to acqui
esce in the unjust settlement of that year,
appraiata. at thair true
value, the vooii'erous eff?rts of their betrayers,
to rush into conspicu positions in their
ranks for the present which is but the
result of their failure to do their duty as
ieutherners Had the whole S:uth done their
duty in 1850, she would have had her rights
secured to her in California by the action ol
the General Government. We believe from
the bottom of our heart that justice and law
were both on her side, and that those who
forced har into the position of partiDg with a
poition of her rights by their recreancy, are
the parties really responsible for the present
threatening crusade against her oo-equality
under the government of the United States.

This case should have been tried at Rich

?Capt Haviland, of the steamer J. H. Bell,
jost arrived at Galveston from Indianola, in
forms the News that be oazneoat of Matagorda
Bay bj tbe new eaannel, cut bj the late
storm, where he found eleven feet water at
high tide, the old channel having twelve feet
at the same time.
?The Tfxaa Rangers, published at Wash
ington, announces the preeenoe of General
Houston in that place lie was to address the
people in several plaoes upon the political
topios of the day.
? The Texan contains the following ao
count of an outrage perpetrated upon an Ame
rican sitizen by the authorities of Mexico:
Dr. J. D. Smith, a eitisen of the United (States,
had purchased in Mexico, at great expense, a
large number of horse, mules, Ac. He had
obtained a pass, and traveled under its direo
tion, having paid a duty of $200 on his stock.
On the 11th of September he crossed at Presi
dio, and after he had traveled about three
leagues on tbe American tide, he was over
taken by a company <?f Mexican soldiers, un
der orders from the police officers of Presidio;
his animals were all taken from him. and
driven back into Mexico, and disposed of by
public authority. Dr. Smith has laid a full
statement of the facts before onr Government
offiser at ?1 Paeo, and they have been for
warded to the Secretary of War.
Starr Couirrr.?We are sorry to learn cf
an encounter near Carrizo between thoUnited
States troops and Indians, in which, entirely
owing to the inadequate force of the former,
one corporal was so severely wounded that he
died; two privates and four horses were also
wounded. One Indian was killed and three
wounded. Captain Jones, who headed the
command, finally dispersed the Indians, but it
was a hard struggle. At last advices, Captain
Elliott and a few troops were on the trail of
the Indians.?otaie Gazette.
