The Oounty Fair, which commences Unlay, will bring a large number of Grangers into town, and merchants and manufacturers should take advantage of this oppor- tunity to advertise.' We shall have extra carriers fo the Port on the Fair ground and at the hotels. An editorial notice will be given of each large adver- tisement. Particular attention will be given to the Fait lo our paper. A Urge number of strangers, country mecchams and others arc already in town, to attend tbi Pair. The columas of the “old Jbrf’ are opea to out advertising friends. A fir© broke out on Woodbridgo street, Detroit, on Friday afternoon, and before the flames were stayed, property to the value of $16,000 was de stroyed. The steamship “ Oapry ” arrived in Philadel phia, on Saturday afternoon, with the passengers from the wreck of the “. City of Philadelphia," stranded off Newfoundland about a month ago. It is now announced that the Rev. John Bapte, the Catholic priest who was tarred and feathered and otherwise maltreated at Ellisworth, Me., is not dead, but has recovered from his inhuman treatment. On Friday last James Mullen and Michael Smith wero killed by the caving in of a gravel bank, in which they were digging, near Cincin nati, on the Reading pike. Mullen leaves a wife and feur children!. Mr. Spooner, the publisher of the Boydell Sbakspeare, received a verdiot in his favor in the New York Courts, the other day, for $3,250, against John M. Daniel, the late editor of the Richmond £zan»tiier, for libel. The opinion of the fall bench of the Massa chusetts Supreme Court was delivered on Satur day declaring that the aot of the Legislature an nexing Charlestown to Boston, which act Las been acoepted by the voters of both cities, is unconstitutional and void. We expected to publish this morning details of European news by the “ Indiana," but she appears not to have arrived at New York ou Sat urday night, as reported, by telegraph. Instead of giving the long rigmorole of contradictions, explaining that Sebastopol bad not been taken, we give an article from the London Timet cover ing the whole groands. The beautiful poem in another column is tbot for whioh the $lOO prize offered by Mr. C. L. Derby, owner of the Greek Slave, was awarded. The awarding committee consisted of Bayard Taylor, Richard Storrs Willis and Hiram Fuller of the New York Mirror, und was selected as the best among upwards of two hundred contribu tions. Henry Fortman, the German who murdered a little boy about two weeks ago in CoviDgton, Ky., has had his trial, and been found guilty of man slaughter. The judge sentenced him for ten peart to the State prison. By some, the sentence is regarded as top severe ; by others, as too lenient. Generally, it has given great satisfac tion. DISASTERS OF THE YEAR. In no yew probably for half a century have so many severe and fatal disasters occurred as daring the last twelve months. More ships and steamers were wrecked and lost daring the year past than daring the . whole of the three prece* ding years: and nearly tbres limes as many as in any former year. A gentleman residing in New York, and en gaged-in commeroe, gives to Rev. Henry W. Beecher some appalling statistics in regard to the shipwrecks of the last year. During that - year, according to his statement, over four thou sand American vessels, engaged in inland and foreign trade, were lost: and the whole number reported as lost from all of the world ex ceeds ten thousand vessels of all classes, la that time oyer fifty vessels have departed from their ports, and “never been heard of more." Among this number were the City of Glasgow, worth, with its cargo, a million dollars : and tse packet ships Constitution and Waterloo, valued at $200,000. Among the most valuable vessels wrecked and totally lost were the steamer fhim bolt, in Halifax harbor, valoed at $1,200,000; steamer FraukliD, near Long Island, $1,500,000; steamer Arctic, with cargo, $2,000,000, and the steamer San Francisco, worth about three-quar ters of a million dollars. Daring the last year the Marine Insurance Companies of New York city alone have paid for losses of vessels and- cargoes over twelve million dollara. Some of these disasters at sea have been of the most appalling character, and at tended by the most fearful loss of life. Over a hundred and fifty perished from the wreok of the Ban Francisco. The ship Staffordshire went down in sight of land with over three hundred passengers on board. Nearly three hundred lives were lost by the sinking of the Arc:ic. Three hundred went down In a Bremen ship. A regiment of soldiers went down in' a British steam er. But it would be difficult to estimate the number of lives lost .by the wrecking, sinking or burning of the 10,000 vessels lost daring the year. Bat even greater disasters, so far as pro perty is concerned, havo occurred on land in the same twelve months. By fire and storm it is estimated that over eighteen million do'lars worth of property has been destroyed in this country. The storm at the south lately is be lieved to hove injured the rice crop to the extent of more than a million dollars. The floods in the Connecticut and other rivers probably did a still greater amount of damage. Large fires have occurred in ma*by cities and townß ; and during the drought vast quantities of timber were de stroyed by fires in the forests. The drought it self probably reduced the value of the crops in this oountry $100,000,000. It has been estima ted by many at-a far higher amount. Within the same year, Railroad disasters have been frequent, and many lives and much proper ty destroyed: and many steamboats have been burned or wreoked upon our lakes and rivers. The ravages of disease have added another page to the mournful record of the year. The chole ra has swept off its thousands. The Russio-Turkish war in Europe and Asia r has already cost probably not less than 80,000 lives; far more dying by diseases induced by r the exposures and hardships of the campaign than In battle ; and la some of tbe battles thou sands have been slain. The Chinese oiTil war, though It tr ay ultimate ly resalt in favor of freedom and Christianity, hu been disastrous to the industry and com merce of that empire for Lhe last year; and thoomndg and tens of thousands of lives have been sacrificed. The year 1864, thus far, certainly presents a gloomy reoord ; and will long be remembered as a year of great and almost countless disasters. Nor have its annals been relieved by the an nouncement of any great discoveries in science; improvements in the arts ; or changes in govern ments favorable to the masses of mankind. In Spain a partial revolution was cheoked and crushed before any Bignal advantages had been gained to the cause jof. freedom and humanity. In China the revolution is still in progress and Of doubtful issue. It may be years before its guscess if assured, and its fruits enjoyed. The battles of the Danube, of the Crimea, ■ad of the Baltio, | though they may have shocked the ambition of the aggressor and the despot, yet their result in favor of the j pliiee give no promise of the restoration of * ~v~ A- ■ ■OCTOBER 24. Kcwi of ttie Day- •y, % < f ; . -- . •«*, peaoe; of the overthrow of despotism; or of the spread of civilization and Christianity. As illiberal a despot rules at Constantino ple as at St. Petersburgh; and the trinmph of either over the other does little to eneoHrage the hopes, or improve the condition of the millions they bold in wretched subjection to their semi barbarous sway. As the weaker party, strug gling for existence, we may sympathise with the Turk. But as a Christian people, we can* not mnch regret the waning fortunes of the Cres cent, and the Mahommednn faith ; or seriously deplore the threatened overthrow of a govern ment that, bat a few months ago, put to death a citizen because he abjured Mahommed&nism, and made open profession of the Christian faith. It is a war of dynasties; a struggle between despots ; the one for conquest, the other for ex istence ; and, however brilliant the acbievments of their arms, and whichever may triumph, the masses of mankind are little benefited by the slaughter. Those battles may be added to the disasters of the year by shipvrrcok and other wise ; and the dead on their trenches and battle plains may be added to the list of “ the dead that are in the sea V Humanity, Liberty, Chris tianity, are perhaps as little benefitted by the death of the soldiers on those plains, as by the death of the hapless men, and women and chil dren who have gone down beneath the dark waves of the ooean. We hope the season of disasters for this coun try is past. There will be less American ship ping on the seas this year than last. The disas ters of the past will counsel more caution and preparation for safety, in case of acoidcntß, for the future. There is food enough for all, not withstanding the droaght, and prices of food are already reduced. Let other nations waste their strength in fruitless wars as they will, this coun try is at peace with all the world, and may re main so, and yet pursue Its interests and its des tiny without fear. The mines of California still yield an undiminished supply of the golden trib ute. Wlthia the post year, over five thousand miles have been added to the extent and availi btlity of our railroads. New regions de l to the domain of civilization at the West;— regions that in a few years will come into the Union as free States, and wide markets for our manufactures aod merchandize. The material wealth of the country, though affected by the short crops and disasters of the year, is ye* greater now than ever before ; and the prospects for all branches of industry and business are by qo means discouraging. The resourocs of the country arc almost boundless, and will soon re pair the losses of a year. It should be borne in miud, too, that while the disasters at sea, and on i he lakes, and rivers, and railroads, have been fir greater during tbe last year than in any pre vious year, our chipping, our steamers, and the extent of our railroads, have beeu doubled with n a few years, and the population of tbe oountry g-eally increased. Tbe prospects of the future of this country, though occasionally darkened by disaster, are full of encouragement aod prom ise ; and while we chronicle with regret the evils which result from a desire for fast traveling by *oa and land ; a restless activity ; a boundless individual aod national ambition for acquisition; and An overpowering eagerness to bo suddenly rich, we would not lose sight of the abounding elements of prosperity that tbe country affords, and that are uot yet half developed. We have presented the dark side of tbe pic ture for the past year, and it is mournful. A glanoe at the bright side for the may re vive hope, and restore confidence.'! •The next year, we trust, will be better than the : aßt. The most famous cock-and-bull story dnee the days of Tristram SkaDdy, is that put orth by the Gallic cock and English bull, in re cord to the tnking of Sebastopol. It is the most lecided “sell" cf modern times. Locke's moon oax wasn’t more thoroughly believed, and the 'ribune’s battle of Slivenamcn Hill would not jmpare with it, for few can be golled with the ‘ exclusive" news of that journal. It is a sat faction to know that tbe “ sovereigns" of this jontry were not more thoroughly humbugged •an tbe sovereigns of Europe. Louis Napoleon, • teen Victoria, Prince Albert and all the other 'rinces, Lords and Dakes believed it; tbe eight jndred members of the Liverpool Corn Ex nan ge swallowed it entire, and joined in singing God save the Queen," as did all the chief ties in Britain which illuminated in honor of iat brilliant evert ! Tbe most serious part of ne matter, however, is the immense amount of • litorial wisdom thrown away in speculating . poa the “ Probable Consequences of tbe Battle ,( Sebastopol." Nicholas must enjoy the joke iugely ; he could not help being amused at the idiculous exultation of Victoria and Napoleon >ver a “ victory" that has never taken place and >crbaps never will. Ullman not a Hindou. —lt was asserted posi tively, by the Cleveland Herald and other prints, that Daniel Ullman, the Know Nothing candidate for Governor of New York, was of Jewish paren tage and born in Ilindostao. This is proved to be untrue. He first saw light in Wilmington, Delaware, as is shown by tbo baptismal record of Trinity Church, in that town, vol. C, p. 766; the correctness of which is attested by the rector of the ohnrch, who is endorsed by tbo bishop of tbo diocese. This evidence is sustained by the statement of Judge M’Dowell, of Wilmington, whose word is certified to by a notary public, under bis notarial seal. tBP* When the despatch announcing the fall of Sebastopol came to the ears of the Emperor of Austria and the King of Naples, the former sent a courier to Napoleon congratulating him upon the success of hie arms, and the latter forbade the negotiation of the Russian loan upon the Bourse of Naples. Both these gentlemen were remarkably nentral until things were taking a decided iu;u, 33 they thought. They, however get no credit for honesty, as the London Times likens King Bomba (of Naples j to a polical blow fly preying upon the carcass of a dead soldier. Should Nicholas be eventually successful, he will remember these little acts of Francis Joseph and the Bourbon of Naples. Akdbxw G. Cubtin. —The Erie Constitution nominates the above named gentleman for tbe United States Senate. The Philadelphia News endorses it. We presume Mr. Curtin is all right with the parties that can settle the ques tion. That is, he is doubtless “ one of ’em.” Let the other aspirants look sharp. Mr. Curtin may cut these all out. Major Arthur T. Lee, of the Bth infan try, was killed in Texas, recently, by the Indians. He was about 40 years of ago at tbe time of his death, was a native of Northumberland county in this State, and besides being a brave soldier he had considerable reputation as a literary man and landscape painter. He had been in the ser vice of the United States about eighteen years. Winks and Liquobb.— We would oall attention to the advertisement of R. L. Alien, in another oolnmn. He has a large and excellent stook of <' wines and liquors,” and we understand he sells them low. Of cigars, too, he has an excel lent assortment, at No. 8 Wood street. A fire broke out in Clark's patent flour log mills, 162 Walker street, New York, on Friday last, and before tbe flames could be ar rested property valued at $40,000 was destroyed. It was evidently tbe work of an incendiary. tGf The colored people of Cincinnati have formed a brass band, numbering twenty-two performers. Several of them were formerly members of Frank Johnston's famous Philadel phia band. PENN ST’ D«l«|«Uon In tta< Ist—T. B. Florence, D. 2d—J. R. Tyson, W.* 3d—Wm MMward.W* 4th—J. Broom, A.* sth—J.

Thiodort Parker’s Lecture. As will be seen by reference to advertisement, this gentleman lectures to-morrow evening, be fore tbo L. Association. Whatever any one may think of Mr. Parker’s radicalism on the slavery question, none deny him a high mede of praise both as an original thinker and finished essayist. His sabject on this occasion—"the true and false idea of a gentleman,”—is one that bo handles with great skill and ability. Our readers, we are sure, will find it an intellectual treat. Prohibition.— The Lancaster Express, of the 21st inst., contends that the prohibitory law is carried in fact, because the districts that have elected a majorityof the members of the Legis lature, voted-for prohibition. It considers each member instructed by the vote of his district, in dependent of the general result in tho State. Thus Allegheny county gave 60)0 in favor of prohibition ; our five members, therefore, ac cording to the Express are bound to vote for the law next winter; and the fifteen members from Philadelphia are in the same position. We don’t think the pooplo so understood the matter when the question was submitted to the voters of the State, not by district, but by a gen eral vote.

IT Bamuei Dunham, a soldier in the Rovo tionary War, died at Mansfield, Ct., on tbe 12th inst., at the.age of one hundred years and twen ty days. He was the oldest Revolutionary Pen sioner in the State, and possibly in the United States. His funeral took plaoe on the day suo oeeding that of his death, and was largely at tended. Ad appropriate discourse was deliv ered on the oooision, from these words: "And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years ; and he died.” Mr. Dun ham leaves two brothers, one of whom is nine ty five and the other ninety-seven years of age. Both of whom were soldiers of the revolution, and one of them, to the irreparable disgrace of tho country, is now tbe inmate of tbe alms house. # Old Richland Tbuk Gbit. —While old Knox, Columbiana, old Molly Stark, Fairfield, Seoeoa, Licking and other unwavering Demooratio ooun ties have oaved this fall under the weight of Whig and Abolition and Enow Nothing fusion ism, Old Richland has not only elsoted her De mocratic county ticket, save one of the Com missioners, but has given a majority for Norris and Miller on the State ticket.

An official communication received yesterday by the Government, from Constantinople, entire* ly supersedes the less authentic statements which had been hailed with so much enthusiasm and so genera! a belief during the last five days. At another time it might be curious to inquire by what means a report, which is now showo to have been not only exaggerated but unfounded, acquired snch weight and consistency as to ob tun the belief of the large majority of civilised Earope, including not only journalists and their readers, but meu experienced in the movements of armies and statesmen at the head of wary and incredulous Governments. Probably the intense anxiety of tbo world to witness, and if possible lo accelerate, the discomfiture of the power of Russia, caused this intelligence to be more gen eraliy received than it deserved to be; but it was undoubtedly supported by corroborations so fre quent, and apparently so consistent, that it found almost universal acceptance. Our busi □ess is, however, to dismiss from our minds the erroneoos impressions that have lately received, and to form a more correct estimate of our po sition from the official accounts which arrived yesterday, and have now been published. These accounts are, in our judgment, by no means un satisfactory, though the telegraphic message which contains them is obscure and defective; for, although Sebastopol has not been taken by a coup de main with circumstances of melodra matic brilliancy, the facts which are positively known to have occurred down to the events of the 28tu of September, are all favorable to the allied armies, and show the steady progress of their operations. The Banshee was despatched from the Crimea to Constantinople on the evening of the 28th, but the message forwarded by Lord Stratford de Rcdcliffe, on the 30th, strangely omits all men tion of the events which must have occurred be tween the 20th and 28th. The result of these operations is, therefore, alone clearly known to us—namely, thaP-on the morning of the latter day the allied armies established their base of operations at Baiaklava, and were preparing to march without delay against Sebastopol. Ves sels of war, under the command of Admiral Ly ons, were in that port, and the landing of the siege train of the armies was going on. This fact at once enables us to arrive at several inferences, which materially alter tbo view hith erto taken of the operations. Baiaklava is a harbor on the south ooast of the Crimea, situa ted seven miles in a direct lino from Sebastopol, and eleven miles to the east of Cape Chersonese, It is still, as it was described by Strabo, a por tua anguato introitu, the mouth being only thirty yards in width, but it will contain twelve sail of the line. The site is one of the most beautiful in the East, and it derives its came from the SCIICTLXIU- Benj Christ. D. Cha*. Frailey. D. 14 BelU Chiavd* of the Genoese, who founded the Hide town at the bottom of the haven, and built the, fort on the adjoining cliff. The port is formed by a deep inlet or indenture in the rooks, wtih water sufficient to flj?at the largest ships in perfect security ; it is completely protected from every -wind, and may be regarded 'as a dock for all the purposes of disembarkation. The occu pation of this point is, therefore, an occurrence of the utmost advantage, for it enables qs to place part of the fleet and transports in complete shelter, to lacd stons and supplies, to maintain an easy communication with Constantinople and Varna, and all this within seven miles of the place we are about to attack. The importance of the possession of such a port as Baiaklava had not escaped the attention of those officers who had first reconnoitred the, coast of the Crimea; but the heights whioh sur round aod protect it were then strongly occupied by the Russian forces, and it was foreseen that Any attempt to land there in presence of the ene my might be defeated by the superiority of his position. But those heights and their defences, whatever they may be, must be in the possession of the allied armies, since they reached Balakla va from the north, aud we therefore hold a se cure port, which is at onoe accessible by sea and denfensible by Isnd. The fact that the allied armies had reached Baleklava from the land side on or before the morning of the 28th of September, proves to de monstration that in the internal between tbe bat tle of the Alma and their arrival on the southern coast they had forcod all the external lines of defence round Sebastopol,* and had driven back the Russians successively from the Alma, the Katcba, tbe Belbek, and the Tchernaia, which feeds the harbor of Sebastopol, and, farther, that they had crossed and occupied the heights separating these valliee from tho southern coast. The form of the eastern coast of the Crimea is not unlike that of the county of Pembroke, and oar readers may form a tolerably correct idea of the operations we are describing by supposing that the allied forces landed in St. Bride’s Bay, jast below St. David’s and then marched to the ooast near Tenby. These vallies or ravines in the Crimea are well wooded, abounding in fruit and water, peopled with flourishing Tillages, and easily capable of defence. The post road from Sebastopol to Bakshiseral passes along the val ley of the Belbek, and must have formed tbe principal line of communication between the for tress and the interior. Since, however, we know that the allied armies have reaobed Balaklava, it is certain that all these lines have been passed, and that theso communications are intercepted. There is reason to believe, from a despatch re ceivod from Odessa, and dated tbe 29th Septem ber, that several successive aotione have taken place, especially on the 25th and 27th, and these dates probably correspond to the days on which the allies foroed the lines of the Belbek and tbe heights about Balaklava. The movement of the armies has thus precisely realised the plan we bid iudioated some days before, when we said that they might advance across the whole pro montory to the southern ooast, and so entirely invest the fortress. Prince Mensohikoff has moanwhile been driven to the east of this line of operations, and is worthy of observation that his army, which consisted of 60,000 men on the Alma, is now said to be redaoed to 20,000. In deed, so severely is the want of men felt by the Russian generals, that they are said to have burned and abandoned Anapa, which is the key of the Circassian ooast, in order to march the garrison of that plaoe into the Crimea ; but this part of Lord Stratford’s despatch appears to be at least questionable. Thu* far, then, we arrived at a dear, and, we believe, correct conception of these operations down to the 28th, which must have been trium phantly successful to enable tho allied armies .in one week to defeat the enemy in a series of ac tions, and to drive him from several oonoentrio positions of great natural strength, outtlng off Prince Mensohikoff and his army altogether from the fortress. It now remains to oonsider the nature of the movements whioh would neces sarily follow, inasmuoh as we are told that “the armies were preparing to maroh without delay upon Sebastopol.” It was already known to us that considerable difference of opinion existed as to tho proper mode of attacking this fortress, and that at least one engineer officer was clearly in favor of an attack from tue south side. The ohief argument in favor of the north side was, that as the landing was to be effected there, it seemed more easy to open tbe attack on that quarter; but this difficulty has been surmounted by landing the troops to the north of the place, and the siege artillery to the south Borne days later. Neither does the mode of proceedings now adopted exolude the possibility of an attaok oh ioMJaides of the harbor. For the present it is sufficient to know that there is an obstaole be tween the fortress and the armies about to aissail it; for, as the armies have crossed the ridge be tween Sebastopol and Balaklava, and driven tbs chief body of tbe enemy into the interior, it may be assumed that the high ground in the rear of the place itself will not be occupied by any , large body of Busman troops. Sebastopol is in 8,310 10,472 8,810 S""-. < • * w.v** ;> <•' ■*■• *' * '..>\**:>y "* *" * 'f- ♦ \ Jk * » • ,* “ tFU, -« * ♦ * * ‘ *l%*' ‘ *• * j j-'* * * ODE TO THE GREEK SLAVE. st Atjuusmr poqishb. 0 Greek Iby more than Moslem fetters thrall’d! 0 marble prison of a radiant thought, Where life is half recall'd, And bennty dwells, created, not enwronght— Why haustest tbou my dreams, enrobed In light, And atmosphered with parity, wherein Mine own soul is transfigured, and glows bright, Aj thoagh an angel smiled away Its ain. 0 chastity of Art I s - Beheld! this maiden shap« makes solitude Of all the buy mart: Beneath her soars immeasurable woe, AB sSpsuoae vision lies subdued, And from ln»r veiled eyes the flow Of tears, is Inward turned upon her heart.

[From the Times of October 6.] reality an open town in . the rear, exoept m §0 far as t hi* deficiency in its defence has been sup plied by fieldworks or detached forts, bat it has certainly uo bastions cr walls of circninvallation, snch as constitute a regularly fortified place, which can oppose a certain resistance to an ar my for a given number of days. The whole strength of Bebastopol lies in its forts; and these forts have undoubtedly been calculated for defence by sea rather than by land. Under these circumstances, the proverbial military ex pression, that “ a place invested is a place ta ken, n may probably be applied with great jus tice. Sebastopol must now be effectually invest ed by land and sea, and mneh more effectually than if the attack had been began on the north ern side of the harbor, leaving the south ooast open for reinforcements or for retreat. The plan of the campaign, as we now more closely under stand ii, indicates the hand of a master; and, though the pnblic have been disappointed in that sadden and nnlooked for triumph which they had been led to battle for, they will find that the end will be accomplished with equal certainty by the more patient operations of reeular warfare.

She now believes herself to be entirely free from disease. Mrs. BCGQISS, a German woman, residing at 204 Rivlngton street, says, that after using one vial of M’Lane’g Oalehra* ted Vermifuge,sho passed two large tape worms.
