EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY AFTERHOOH October 24 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 vania. "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. preeeni Governor and a candidate for re-elec tion, by a majority ot 36 236 voies. The official 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 Nothing candidate for Canal Commissioner, 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 Itriotes stripe, 1 vol. Democrat, and 15 Whi^s and other opposition. The House contains 100 members, who may be thus classified : 25 Democrats, 15 Whigs. 10 Volunteer Know Nothing Democrats, 13 Know Nothing Wbig?, 1 Temperance and Native, b pure Native, 28 Piserinctums, as our politicians describe a class of politicians wlio are am 10 be depended upon or classified j^rWTirSiiif-SftbrikT DwMr"i7'i# Whigs and Know Nothing?.

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 iaay yet met' a di?a?ter Ibe r>l?j cjLStr ?.?uvea here are qnakipg with the dilhccltieg <f Hmrit Without the French, matters would n-jt have te6n driven up as they have?the French G vernment, in a re Ert from its general commanding in the st, was warned against bringing the army baek without an achievement. Hence tne order for attack. I am, my dear sir, very truly youra, * 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.
