Serenade to GOvernor Bigler.
i• At about 104; o'cloc4,on'Monday evening, a
large party of musicians and citizens assem
( bled in front of the Merchant's Hotel, Phila.-
' delphia, for the purpose of serep,ding, Gov.
BiGLEtt, and discos rsed most excellent music.
After singing in a very excellent manner seve
ral soul-stirrin airs, the Governor was intro
duced to the audience, and- -- de livered an ad
dress' which,_ though short,' was, remarks the
Penmylvanion, one of the most appropriate,.
• effective and eloquent speeches we haver ever
heard, and was frequently interrupted by loud
demOnstrations ofapPlause.
The Governor thanked the audience for the
demonstration which appeared before him. It
was a very common thing fora successful can
' dilate - Who-had honors to bestow, and a
_long
official career before him, to be thus greeted,
but it was unusualfor one who occupied his
position, which was rather • that of a setting
than a rising sun, to be thus greeted. He had
endeavored to .discharge his official clinic's
',faithfully and to the best - of his ability —he
had proclaimed to the people of the State his
hone. views and principles—and though
strickN down •by an unseen secret fire, his
heart was cheerful and his spirits buoyant:, be
cause he ielt that the principles he had avow
ed were right and just, and that time would
vindidate their correctness. lie had stood up,
on the doctrines of the Constitution ; he had
contended for the political equality of citizens
of all creeds and 'of all • classes , : he had oppos
ed the formation of secret societies for the ac
ooMplishment of political objects ; he had mit
striven, as some persons falsely allege, to array
one portion of the community against-another,
but had made principles of Republican equali
ty his guide, and had 'throughout his whole
official career faithfully adhered to them ; and
but a very few years would elapse before the
correctness of his position would be universal
ly acknowledged.
It -Was not the
_first dine that the party he
belonged to had been overthrown. It was de
feated 'in 1840, and again in 1848, but every
measure upon which it had; been temporarily
def - eitted," hin since been gloriously_ vindicated
and triumphantly e'stablished. It would be
so hereafter, and whatever might be his future
destiny, whether he should retire forever into
private, or again participate in political life,
it should be his pride and pleasure to belong to
the great party. of the country, of the Constitu
tion. of Republican ftcedont, of equal rights,
and of progress, which had left a glorious im
press upon the pages of our national history.
For the short remainder of his official term
he would studiously endeavor to discharge to
the best of his abilities the Executive duties,-
and he -would ever gratefully remember the
kindness which he had leceivCd from the peo
ple of Philadelphia and of this great Common
wealth.
• we ;have giv - en from memory but a mere
skeleton outline of his remarks, which 'were
delivered with a fervency and eloquence which

preciate, and whiCh made his audience all feel

TWEIVIT4:11;IIT THOUSAND KILLED.
Cl7*The - Artierican mail steamer arriv.
ed at New York on Monday last, with three
days' later advices from Europe. The accounts
arc , of the highest and most thrilling , impor-
Caere. The allied forces have attacked and
carried Sebastopol, completely routing the
RuSsians, with awful slaughter on both sides.
The allies are said to haye lost ten thousand
killed and wounded. and the Russians not less
than eighteen thousand.
On the 21st nit., the allies stormed the Rus
sian em ba nkments, after'four hours' fighting.
In this battle the . anglo-French lost 2,800 kil
led and wounded, and the Russians lost 6,000.
Private despatches state that the Russians,
under Alemehikoff, personally, rallied on the
23d, and again gave battle to the allies, but
were again defeated, and . driven to their en
trenchments behind Sebastopol. ~They again
rallied, however, and fought . the third battle,
and were a third time defeated, and fled into
Sebastopol, which was beleaguered :by land
and sea. Fort Constantine blew up, and the
other forts were stormed,. The Russian ile_et
was burned, and the ships sunk. • .
Menschikoff, with the shattered remainc of
his army, were barricaded in the inner harbor,
and refused to surrender. Six hours had been
allowed him, and it is reported, bui not offlei
cally, that he had surrendered.-
Another account says, that on the 2 . sth,,Fort
Constantine was invested by sea and land, and
after an obstinate' defence, •was carried by
storm: The allies then bombarded the City and
fleet, and ten Russian ships . of, the line were+
burnt and sunk. - The remaining forts were
carried, one after-the other, and 800 guns were
silenced, and 22,000 prisOners taken. The
losw of the allies in killed and wounded is
10,000, and of the Russians 18,000. The Rus
..sian loss in dead and wounded is estimated at
not less than 8,000 in Sebastopol alone.
A later despatch say that .Menschikoff had
surrendered, and that the British and French ,
flags wave over Sebastopol.
The entrenched camp of the Russians on the
heighths of Alma contained 50,000 -men, and
numerous cavalry and artillery, and was earn--
led at the point of the bayonet, after four hours'
j hard lighting. The second engagement on the
plains of Kalantia lasted several hours, and
Iwas very sanguinary. It enPled in the total
`defeat of the tßussians, who were pursued to
' - the entrenchments before Sebaspotol.
The despatches are very conflicting. One
; dated Berlin 3d, says that telegraphic despltch-
eS had been received there direct from Sc. Pe,l
tersbnrg eitt the effect that Mensehikoff had
withdrawn his troops, on the 25th,immolested
from belbre Sebastopol towards Bakstihi Serei,
I and that he will there await reinforcements,
and adds that Sebastopol had not, been attack
ed to the 2(4.
The Russian accounts do not; - conceal the
fact of severe reverses in the Crimea..
Another -account states that two Russian
ships of war were sunk with many on hoard.
Also Lliat the allies captured over one
_thousand
of the enemy's guns.
The very latest account from Vienna by tel
egraph states , that the city of Sebastopol was
in flames, and in all prolmbility had been re
duced to ashes, sacrificing many lives.
A u attack on Cronstade is !lbw seriously me
naced. The war seems now to be brisk.

MORE OF THE ARCTIC DISASTER.
STATEMENT - OF CAPTAIN LUCE.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—The following
is the substance of Captain Luce's state
ment as telegraphed from Quebec to Mr.
Colins :
Captain Luce, at the time of the collision,
was below-working out the position of
steamer. Be immediately ran on .
deck, and-saw the iron steamer under-the'
starboard bow, and passing astern, grazing
and tearing the guards -in her progress.:
The bows of the, strange vessel seemed to
be literally crushed or cut off for ten feet,
and seeing that she must probably sink in
ten Minutes, and taking a glance at our
own ship, and believing that she"was corn
paratively uninjured, the boats were clear
ed, and the first officer and six men left
With a boat to board the stranger, and as
certain.the extent of her damage.
The engineers were immediately in
structed to put on the steam pumps, and
the four deck pumps were worked by the
passengers and crew. The ship was at
once headed for land, and several ineffec
tual attempts were made to'§top the leak
by getting sails over the bows,
Finding that the leak was gaining on
them very fast, notwithstanding•the very
'powerful efforts to keep her free, the
eaptain resolved to get the boats 'ready,
and have as, many ladies and children pla
ced on them as possible. No sooner,
however, had an attempt been, made, to do
this, than the firemen and others, slushed!
into the boats in spite of all °pp:shit:at:—
Seeing this state things I_ Ordered the
boats astern to be kept in r4dineas until
order coiild be restored, when - to. any dis
may I saw them cnt the rope in the bow
and soon disappear astern m the fog.
Another boat was broken down by per-
soils rushing in at the davits, and many
were precipitated into the sea and drown
ed. This occurred while I had been en
gaged in Getting the starboard guard boat
ready. I had placed the second otlieer itt
charge, when the same scene was enacted
as With the first boat: I then gave orders
to the second Officer to let go and row af
ter the ship, keeping near the stern, to be
ready to take the women and children as
soon as the fires were out and the engine
should stop.
'My attention was drawn to another
quarter boat, which I found broken
down, but hanging by one tackle. A rush
was made for her also, and some fifteen
got in and cut the tackle and were .soon
Out of sight. Not a seaman was left on
board, Or a varpenter, and we were With
out tools to assist us in b uilding .raft,
as our only hope, and the only officer left
us was Mr. Dorian, theitinliird_mate,_"2who
worked nobly for the succor of all.
Many of the, passengers, who deserve
great praise for their coolness and energy,
did.all in their power until the latest mo
went before the ship sunk. Mr. Rodgers,
the chief engineer, with a part of his as._
sistants, had taken one of the small deck
boats, and before the ship went down,
pulled away with about 18 persons.
To form a raft it became necessary , to.
get the only remaining boat, the life-boat,
into the Water. This being' ccomplished,
Mr. Dorian, the chief officer of the boat,
taking care to keep the oars on board the
steamer, to prevent those in the boat from
leaving the ship, proceeded to work, still
hoping - to be able to get the women and
children on board his boat at 'last. they
had made considerable progress in collect
ing spars, wl;elf the'alarm was given that'
the ship was,singleg, and the boat wa
shoved off witheitroars or anything to hold
'themselves.
In an instant after, at about a quarter
past 5 o'clock, P. M., the ship went
down, carrying every soul on-board with
her I soon found mysEff on the surface,
after" a-brief struggle, with my own help
less child in my arms ; when I again found
myself impelled downward to a great
depth, and before Lrea'ched-the—surfae a_
second time I had nearly perished, and
lost the hold of my child in struggling up
wards.
When I got upon the surface oftlie`wa
ter the mot awful and heart-rending
scene - presented itself to my view. Over
two hundred men, women and children
were struggling together amid pieces of
the wren,
.calling upon each other for
help, and imploritlg-God to assist them.
Such an appalling scene may God pre
serve me from ever witnessing, again.
Amid the struoglinz mass of human be
ings I discoved my child, and was in the
act of trvitig to save him when a portion
