THE WAR-CAPTURE OF BRITISH VES
SELS IN THE BLACK SEA. 1
Admiral Dundas is again permitting the
Russians to have their own way in the Black
Sea. The telegraph announces that theRus
Russian war steamer Vladimir was chasing
her Majesty's steamer Cyclops, near Ihe
llosphorous, just at the time our admiral
fondly thought that every Russian ship was
cooped up in Sebastopol. The Cyclops esca
ped, and so her adventure ended.' It was
o'.herwise with three Turkish merchantmen,
whose fate the Constantinople correspondent
of the Independence of-Brussels thus de
scribes: :
"An occurrence which has just taken place
in the Black Sea, only a few miles off' the
mouth of the Bosphorus, has caused the pro
foundest' sensation : Three' 'Turkish mer
chant vessels, while at their moorings in the
harbor of Heniclea (Erekli), have been bnrn
ed by a, Russian, steam fiigate hat came
from Sebastopol, and was able to cross the
whole of the Black Sea without being seen
by the Anglo-French cruisers! The ships
destroyed wero ladened, one with Indian
corn, a second with wood, and the third with
coal extracted from Ihe mines at llcraclea,
and intended for the allied squadrons. Their
captains have been carried (iff prisoners to
Sebastopol, the crews pnt in the boat and
turned adrift in Ihe roadstead. Tho very
day before this bold deed was performed the
Viench advice corvette, ihe Monelte,' left the
p'oit in question it- order to return to Thera
pia. This little incident's hows how well the
Russians are served by their scouts. How
will it bs now, when iho Greek vessels are
again permitted to revisit the haibor; in the

There is a scandal just now prevalent in

about to bo acted in France which was play

be the cause of this cruel and unnatural act,

LETTER FROM WASIIIXGTOK.
Free Emigration Pouring Into Kantas and Ne
braska Both Bound to Come Into the Union
as Free States ICew Mexico and Utah
The Prospects vf the Free Stales.
WASlIINCTOsAugUSt 21, 185-1. ;
News has reached from Nebraska and
Kansas, to, the effect that the emigration to
these territories is so rapid as to justify the
opinion that in less than two years they will
both knock at ihe door of the Union lor ad
mission. "The'emigration is principally from
Ohio, IHinoU, Indiana, nnd iho. New England
States, leaving no doubt as to the character
of the population which will sway that
country. '
It is the sheerest nonsense to talk of mak
ing either Kansas or Ncbiaska a slave State.
Both are destined and bound to be free under i
that clause of tho law establishing territorial
governments for both of them, which allows"
the people of tho territory to determine for
themselves whether they will establish or
rule out that iusti'.ulion. So far, it is no ex
aggeration to say that ten Northern emi
grants, opposed to slavery, have gone to both
Kansas and Nebraska to one slaveholder, and
these ten Noi'thcin self-lu'boring men hfcve
no idea of voting for a .institution which
would depreciate Ihe value of ibeir labor, if
it did not absolutely degrade it.
It will always be so where territories whose
soil and climate i admit iOf free labor arc
thrown open, to new settlers. The Northern
fanner and mechanic can gel ready to march
in a day, while the settlement of a Southern
estate, and the transportation of negroes, re-
! quit e very different rare, prudence and cir.
cumspeclion, Besides the men who emigrate
are not ranting politicians. They go to new
Uiritoiics to butter their condition to obtain
a higher rewaid for ihcir labor, and lobe
more happy and fioe in every respect. Now
' how many Southern slaveholders iio you
think will be supposed to take their negroes
from a Southern plantation in Mississippi,
I Alabama or Kentucky, where they are worth
. from eight hundred to fifteen hundred dollars
i apiece, to carry them to Nebraska or Kansas,
j where in the outset there must be very little
j must necessarily be wasting, and where the
people may, at, any time, legislate it out of
existence ! r ...... -. . !
If Iho Souteni Stales were over-peonW or
! crowded with negroes, such a thing might
ba 8Urpo,ad j but they ore by far Ihe most
; sparsely sellled. and huge amounts of laud
a yet uocultivatej. La ml in Misi65ippi,
Louisiana, Arkansas, E4?tein Tennessee, Ala
bama, Georgia, and Florida are as Xerlilo as
uuy portion of the globe, and certainly as
fertile as Kansas and Nebraska, and as. long
as ihero is scope for ogricultuial enterprise
offered by these, il is nof. to be supposed that
any considerable poition of Southerners will
sprinkle Ihe free population of these lerrito.

, The railroads now in ihe process of con
sltuclioii or finithud begiu to open up the
pine bauons of Mississippi and Alabama, in

manufacturing tar into that, region of coun
try, . There lire, but three products of the toil
remunerating slave Utor-,oxr, cotlon and
rice. Il it extremely doubtful whether either
Kansas or Nebraska will rsiseny of them.
We all remember what hue and cry was
raised about Utah and Mexico, when Jbey
were organized without an express prohibi
tion of slavery. , It was in vaiu that ty'.
Webster . andB Mr. Clay , told Ihe . Northern
Freesoilers thai God. himself fcad prohibited
slavery in those territories the abolitionists
insisted that slavery would go itaere, and
three great patriots and statesmen died with
Iho calumny of favoring slavery attached to
their names. Yet, who is there so foolhardy
a to assert that either Utah or New Mexico
will ever be k slave Stale? Less than four
years' experience sufficed lo dispel that illu
sion.' It wilt le so with Nebraska and Kan
sas in less than two years.

This gpnlletnan Is evidently "a tick
man." using Ihe term in the seme it was
applied by the Emperor Nicholas to the
Sultan of Turkey, ; In the performance of
hit rnullifarous labors and promises, during
the' last fix months, Mr. Montgomery has
contracted a variety of complaints, and this
complication of diseases) must hasten the
"sick man? to an 'early political grave?
His old complaint,,, which is of t chroma
character, jt was supposed,, could be cured
as heretofore, by the application of pana
ceas, in the shape of promises and rewards.
But these pld remedies only afforded tem
porary relief, and seem to have entirely
lost their effects. . IIi4 ills have grown too
numerous aiid obmplicaled, to be removed
by temporary expedients. ' The coal fever
alone will cause such a shaking in his
bones that, all the quack . medicines ol his
party Irientls can never alleviate, whilst
his Votes for and against the 'liquor law,
must hecessnrily have the effect of an In
dian physic, though without its good remits.
: Mr. Montgomery, we understand, at
tempts to explain his vote lo tax Ihe coal
of Northumberland county,' by s) ing that
he did not know or underhand its ruinous
effects. Almost any other man would have
rather suffered defeat at once, than ac
knowledge himself capable of such gross
stupidity. Hut even this humiliating con
fesion cannot avail him. Mr. Montgomery
was, himself, one -of the commitlee, and
himself proposed the amendment taxing
the coal of this county. Nor w as he igno
rant of its ruinous effects, as several gentle
men interested -in (lie development of our
CfOal region, appeared bejote that committee
and explained the disastrous effects it must
have on the coal business in this county.
Yet in the face of all this Mr. Montgomery
persisted in his mulish obstinacy in at
tempting to cripple and destroy the coal
business ol this region. These facts we
have Irom a highly intelligent and respect
able gentleman who was present when the
subject was discussed before the comiriiltee.
Why should Northumberland county,
deeply interested as she is, in having a
member capable of - representing her great
interests, confide those interests, to a man
who acknowledges his unfitness, in order
to avoid the just censure that an indignant
community could not refrain from heaping
upon him?

have concluded to let the same lo the low

$20,000 lor a Building Fund was secured.
The Buildings may cost $25,000 or $30,

construction. Some $5,000 or fG.OOO are

TUis state of aflairs is highly creditable
lo the liberality and enterprise of our Lew-

and legitimate function, to wit : the breed

OCT The Susquehanna Division of the
Pennsylvania canal is at present not much
better than a dry ditch. . Boats only hall
loaded can scarcely get through. This
works seriously against the interests of our
coal operators, who are now prepared to
do a large business, but have not the menns
of getting their coal to market. Until the
Susquehanna rail road is completed this
condition of aflairs must be borne, although
it would be Ihe undoubted Interest ol the
slate, as well as of the people, lo deepen
this canal and keep it in proper order. But
if the Sunbury and Erie road between this
place and Milton had been put under con
tract, or rather had been worked under the
contract, we might, in a month or two have
a market at the Lakes by means of the Wit-
liamsport and Elmira rail road. And with

Williamsport and Elmira road will not be
