    What Col. Piollet will Do !
The Colonel is making the most magnificent
promises as to what he will accomplish if the
eo j,le will only send him to the Legislature.
In return for all these promises he only asks
tIl( .jr votes. Amongst other things,
He will pay t,ie State Debt, by a tax on
n foal; and also provide sufficient revenue
f r „ m the same source, so there will be no more
State taxes!
Ho will abolish the pay of Members of the
I ...ridature, and provide that their salary shall
ilt-peud upon the amount of bribes they receive!
He will I,aSSl ,aSS a ' aw iat e y ery man shall have
ut least one barrel of whiskey !
He will provide for a County scat 0:1 every
lie will pay every man within ten miles of
,l, e North Branch Canal, heavy damages !
He will pass laws against the rust and wee
vil in wheat, and for the protection of farmers
" Hewill introduce a new era in legislation,
having received some new light 011 the Subject!
He will do many other things, " too tedious
to mention, when lie gets to the Legislature !
Whv didn't he do all he promises, when he
, M >- in the Legislature ? The people have yet
to learn that he then evinced any great anxie
iv to lessen their burdens, or disposition to ad
vance their interests. On the contrary, when
ever he has been in office his conduct has been
selfish and corrupt, and his only anxiety to ad
ulter his personal and political ends.
Look Out for Frauds!
We caution our friends throughout the Couu
tv to he on their guard against all manner of
frauds and Falsehoods. You have already
wanted what profligate means our enemies are
resorting to, to elect PIOI.I.KT. YOU may rea
-oaablv expect, when too late to be refuted, to
lu ar all manner of falsehoods uttered about the
Kepubliean candidates.
Be 011 your guard, on the day of election for
lying hand-bills and circulars. The unscrupu
-1 as men who are working to advance their
prscmal ends, will resort to the most desper
ai -aml disgraceful means. We say, again, be
.the look-out for roorbacks started upon the
v\v of the election.
Look cut for Misrepresentation!
We understand that a paper has been circu
g amongst the Whigs, and received many
-i- natures, which is to be put to a use the sign
er- do not approve. This paper was presented
f r their signature, as a mere declaration that
:!i"v were Whigs still, and had not deserted
a: yof the principles of the Whig party. It
is ii w to be used to show that they do not ap
j"of the Hepubliean movement, and will
. . in the election of the hunker pro-slavery
tlo t ! The object of this, is to influence the
a. ii.'ii of Whigs throughout the County.
Having received some intimation of the nn
iiiablc use to which this paper was being

"! tlm \\ iiigs of \\ yaox, has been furnished us

FALL OF SEBASTOPOL.!
Since our last issue, arrivals from Europe
bring the important intelligence of the fall of
Sebastopol. We give below a summary of the
news:
The bombarcjjnent was re-opencd on the
fifth and continued without interruption until
the eight when the assault commenced.
The French attacked the Malakoff and the
Careening Bay, and the English the Redan.
Six repulses were sustained by the French
before the Malakoff, but on the seventh at
tempt they carried the work in splendid style
and hoisted their eagles on the Malakoff.
The slaughter was terrific, and is estimated
at 2,000 English, 15,000 French, and as many
Russians, making the aggregate upward of
thirty thousaud men.
Five French Generals are reported to have
been killed, including General Bosquet.
During the night succeeding the assault the
Russians evacuated the entire south side, first
blowing up the defences, sinking all the ships,
firing the town, and leaving nothing but smould
ering ruins.
A large Allied force was marching along
the coast to interrupt the retreat of the Rus
sians inland.
The allies fouud immense materials of war in
Sebastopol.
It is reported that instructions have been
scut to the allied Generals in the event of
Gorehakoff seeking to capitulate, to demand
that Russia shall surrender at discretion all the
troops, stores and fortified places including
Odessa. °
The English, who attempted the redan, were
not successful during the night. The Russians,
in the exacerbation of despair, began to sink
their ships, blow up their magazines and burn
their city, and on the following morning ►Sebas
topol was evacuated and the communication
between the uorth forts and the town broken
off.
The following telegraphic despatch, received
by Lord Banmure from Gen. Simpson, appear
ed in the English morning journals of the 11th
inst :
" Sebastopol is in the possession of the
allies. The enemy, during the night and morn
ing, evacuated the south side, after exploding
their magazines and setting fire to the whole
of the town.
" All the men-of-war were burnt during the
night, with the exception of three steamers
which were playing about the harbor. The
bridge communicating with the north side is
broken."
General Simpson reports that the casualties
in the attempt on the Redan were somehat
heavy, but there was no general officer killed.
In a supplement of the Monifeur the follow
ing telegraphic despatch, received by the
French government from Gen. Pclissier, ap
-1 >ears :
Kurabelcnaia and the south part of Sebas
toj>ol no longer exist.
The enemy, perceiving our solid occupation
of the Malakoff, decided upon evacuating the
place after having destroyed and blown up by
mines nearly all the defences.
Having passed the night in the midst of my
troops, 1 can assure you that everything in the
Karabelnaia is blown up, and from what I
could see the same must be the case in front
of our left line of attack. This immense suc
cess does the greatest honor to our troops.—
Everything is quiet on the Tchernava.
The assault on the Malakolf was made at
noon of the Bth inst. Its redoubts and the
Redan or Careening bay were carried by storm
by the French soldiers with admirable intcr
■ pidity to the shouts Vive 1' Empcruer. The
Redan or Careening bay was not tenable,
owing to the heavy fire of artillery which
was poured upon the first occupiers of the
work.
On beholding the French eagle floating on
the Malakoff, Gen. de Sulles made two attacks
on the Central Bastion, but did not succeed.—
The French troops returned to their trenches.
The losses were serious.
The plan of the battle appears to have been
as follows: place was attacked in for
sections. The British troops attempted the
storming of the Redan, the French attacked
the Malakoff. The extreme right of the
French made a diversion on the Little Redan,
and a united attack of the English, French and
Sardinians was made on the central battery.
All the attacks were made simultaneously
with great spirit and energy, but the one which
was eminently successful was led by General
Bosquet, and Gen McMahon, on the Malakoff.
Both the Redan and the Central Bastion were
at times in the hands of the storming parties,
but so accurately did the guns of t! e Russians
cover these, that as soon as the English had
gained possession of them, it was impossible to
hold them.
The English loss in the assault on the
Redan is estimated 2,0<)() killed and wounded.
The following despatch is from I'rince Gort
schakoff, dated the night of the oth :
The garrison of Sebastopol, after sustaining
an infernal fire, repulsed six assaults but could
not drive the enemy from the Malakoff Tower
Our brave troops, who resisted to the last
extremity, are now crossing over to the north
ern part of Sebastopol.
The enemy fouud nothing in the southern
part but blood-stained ruins. On the 9th of
September the passage to the northern side
was accomplished with the loss of 100 men.—
We left, I regret to say, 500 men previously
wounded, on the southern side.
The intelligence of the fall of Sebastopol
was received in London with demonstrations of
great joy. At the various theatres and places
of public amusement the fact was officially
announced, and the bands at each place imme
diately played the national anthems of Eng
land and France.
On the night of the Bth ult., whilst the Em
peror of the French was at the door of the
Theatre Italian, at the moment that the carri
age containing the ladies of honor of the Em
press stopped at the entrance of the theatre, an
individual who was standing on the pavement
discharged without aim two pocket pistols at
the carriage, Is'o one was hurt.
The man, who had more the appearance of
a maniac than an assassiu, was immediately ar
rested. He gave his name as liellewarre, is
about 22 years of age, and was born at Rouen.
When 10 years of age he was sentenced to two
years imprisonment for swindling.

Died,
At Canton, September 21,1855, SOPHIA THANKFUL,
wife of Chbstkk Thomas, late Sheriff of Bradford coun
ty, aged about 41 years.
[Mrs. Sophia Thankful Thomas (formerly Stevens) was
h°rn Octolier 21,1811, in Troy, Bradford county, Pa., and
was married to Mr. Cheater Thomas, of the same township
February 7, 1833. She was the mother of nine children'
seven of whom are now living, and were present at her
funeral. While she lived, she was an ambitious, industri
ous, persevering woman. As a Companion, she was kind,
amiable and benevolent. As a Mother, attentive and in
dulgent, (almost to a fault.) She was a professor of reli
gion, and a member of the Disciple or Christian church for
the last 14 years. The subject of this notice was a lady
who commanded the esteem and respect of all those who
enjoyed the pleasure of her acquaintance, and was an or
nament to every circle in which she moved. She was re
markable for her kindness to the poor and suffering.
At the early age of 17, she was attacked with inflamma
tory rheumatism, which prostrated her for several mouths
—recovering from which, she enjoyed comparative good
health for 12 years, when she was again attacked with the
same disease ; which, notwithstanding the aid of eminent
physicians, continued for the last 10 years almost uninter
ruptedly, producing disease of the heart, and finally ter
minated in the worst form of dropsy, which terminated
her existence at the above date. To the large circle of
bereaved friends, and especially the heart-stricken husband
and family, we offer our most siucere christian condolence.
