Tho Halifax steamer America, and tho

yesterday, (lio hitler at New York. The
news they hrinjr is highly important. It
tells of the destruction of Scbastopol by the
Russians, nftor a terrible assault by tho
Allies, in which they wero repeatedly renul
od, but tho French final!,- efiocted n lodge

evacuated the town, destroying everything
in their rotrenf. Tho loss of tho Allies is

Tho Russians now occupy tho forts on tho
north part of tho harbor, including Fort
Constantino, at the mouth of tho harbor, tho
Central Fort, Fort Catharine, and a number
of powerful batteries.
THE NEWS BY THE WASHINGTON.
New York, Sept. 27. By the United
States mail steamship Washington, Captain
Connelly , from Bremen nnd Southampton, we
receive English despatches nnd newspapers
to tho 12th inst. She brings 320 passengers.
The steamship America arrived at Liver
pool on the Plh inst.
The Washington brings tho important in
telligence of tho "Fall of Scbastopol .'" On
Iho 8th inst., tho allied forces attacked the
defences of Scbastopol, and the French snc
cesJed in gaining possession of tho Malakoff.
The English, who attempted the Redan, were
not successful. Huring tho night, the Rus
sians began to sink their ships, blow up their
magazines, aud burn their city, end on tho
following morning Scbastopol" was evacuated,
and the communication between the north
forts and tho town broken off.
Tho following telegraphic despatch, re
ceived by Lord Panmnro fromUen. Simpson,
appeared in tho English morning journals of
the 11th instant : "Sebastopol is in posses
sion of tho Allies. Tho enemy, during the
night and morning, evacuated the sonlh side,
nftor exploding their magazines and setting
firo to tiio whole of tho town. All the men-of-war
wero burnt during tho night, with the
exception of threo stcomors, "which, were
plying about the harbor. The briugo com
municating with tho north side is broken.
Con. Simpson regrets that tho casualties in
the attempt on tho Redan were somewhat
heavy, but there was no general officer killed."
In a supplement of tho Monitour tho fol
lowing telegraphic despatch, received by the
French government from (Jen. Polissier ap
pears : Knrabelnaia, tho south part of tie
bastonol. no loncrer exists. Tho ennmv. per
ceived one solid occupation of tho Malakoff,
decided upon consuming tho placo alter hnv-
inct destroyed and blown, up by mine,! nearly
all the defences. Having passed the night in
the midst of my troops, i can assure you that
everything in the Knrabelnaia is blown np
and from what I could see, tho samo must be
tho caso ir. front of our left lino of attack
This inimenso success does tho greatest hon
or to our troops. liiverytliing is quiet on tho
Acnernnya.
iho assault on tho Malakolr was at noon
of the 8th inst. The redoubts and the Redan
of Careening bav were carried bv storm by
tho French soldiers, with adiuirablo iutrepid-
ity to the shouts ot vivo rhmpercur. Tho
Redan of Careening bay was not tenable,
owing to tho heavy tiro of artillery which was
poured upon tho hrst occupiers of that work,
On beholding tho French eagles floating on
tho .Ualiikoli, (Jen. do Sillies mnilo two at
tacks on tho Central Bastion, but did not
Eiicceod. Tho French troops returned to
their trenches. The losses wore serious.
Tho plan of tho battle appears to have
been as follows : The placo was attacked in
four directions. Tho British troops attempt
ed tho storming of tho Redan ; tho French
attacked the Malakoff. Tho extreme right
of tho French mado a diversion on tho littlo
Redan, nnd a united attack of tho English,
French and Sardinians was made on the
Central Battery. All tho attacks were made
simultaneously with great spirit and energy;
but tho one which was inott eminently suc
cessful, was led by (Jen. Bosquet and Gen.
M'Mahon on the MalakofT. Both the Redan
nnd Central Bastion were at times in Iho
bauds of the storming parlies, but so accu
rately did the guns of the Russians cover
tlicso, that as soon as the English had gained
possession of them it was found impossible
to hold them.
The following? despatch is from Trinco
(tortschakoff, and is dated tho night of the
9th. "Tho garrison of Sebaslopol, after
sustaining an infernal tire, repulsed his as
saults, but did not drive tho enemy from the
Malakoff Towur Our brave troops, who re
sisted to the last extremity, are now crossing
over to the northern part of Sebastopol.
Tho enemy found nothing in the southern
part but blood-btuined ruins. On the 9th of
September the passago to tho uorthorn sido
was accomplished with tho loss of 100 men.
"We left, I regret to say, f00 men previously
wounded on the south sido."
The intelligence of the full of Sebastopol
was received in London with demonstrations
of great ioy. At the various theatres and
places of public amusement, tho fact was
bflicially announced, and the bunds at each
place immediately played tho national an
thems of England and Franco, and throughout
England the doiuouslrntious wero general.

Rcdaa is estimuted at ."OC'J killed and woun

MILITARY CONSEQUENCES OF
THE VICTORY.
Tho first question which presents itself to
our consideration, after we have given utter
ance to those feelings of exultation nnd of
pralitudo which the glorious termination of
the sictro of Sebaslopol excites at this mo
ment throughout the empire, relates to the
military conseqnenee3 of this victory, and to
the strategical measures best calculated to
bring tho campaign and tho war to a speedy
mid triumphnut termination. A tremendous
blow has been struck at tho military power
nnd farao of Russia, nnd her naval fortes in
the Black Sea havo been annihi'uted. The
courage, tho perseverance, and the incessant
labors of tho Allied armies havo already dis
posed of tho arguments ofthoso who conten
ded that Sebastopol was impregnable until it
should be invested, and that the Russian
soldiers wero invincible within its rcdoubu.
It now appears from Admiral Bruat's des
patch, that the mortar boats of both sqadrous
took part iu the attack, and threw shells
ugaiutst tho marine butteries, so that, from
the heights of Jtikeruiunu to Streletzka bay,
the whole fortress was encompassed with "a
klirm rif Urn. aimI an piinrrnimM mnnhei r?
men must havo been engaged iu tho works.
KevertbelftFi, upon tho Una) establishment
of Geo. Bosquet's division or the French
arm v in the MulakoOTTowor, Prince Uorts-
ohukoif instantly proceeded to execute a pre
arranged plan lor the uestructlonanu evacua
tion of the town. All that night the harbor
wus illunmiated with tho lurid glare of bum.
ills' shins, and from time to time the explosion
of the vast magazines reut asunder enormous
piles of masonry, whue au oil-devouring eon
llagratiou swept like the scourge of Heaven
over the devastated city. Sebastopol has
perished, like Moscow, by tho hands of her
(Menders, whilo her successful assailant!
wUuessed tho awful spectacle unscathed.
Means of retreat had been-secured by a
long bridgo of rafts across the great harbor,
and for mnny honrs large masses of troops
wore removed by this passage to the northern
side ; bnt at eight o'clock in tho morning of
the tlth this communication was stopped, the
whole of tho works and town boing then
evacuated. If, as is propable, any of the
Russians remained on the south bank after
that hoar, they mnst either have perished in
the fire or fallen into tho hands of the besie
gers. About 000 of the wounded, we know,
remained in the Fort St. Paul, nnd for them
an armistice wns asked j bnt, with their ac
customed indifference to the preservation of
life nnd property, the Russians were deter
mined to destroy the eity rather than to ca
pitulate, and they executed their design.
The position of Prince QortschakofTsarmy,
after tho main body had effected its retreat
across tho harbor, was, therefore, ns follows :
His extreme right, consisting of tho corps
most actively engaged in tho defence of the
placo, rests upon" tho Severnaiawork. or Star
Fort, nnd holds tho strongly intrenched po
sitions on the north shore, where, no doubt,
considerable preparations have been made
for this emergency. His centra covers the
Bolbck, and is protected in front by tho field
works thrown up along tho ridge of Inkor
mann. His left wing consists of Liprandi's
corps, occupying tho ground from Macken
zie's Farm to the heights of Aitodcr on tho
Bukshiscrai road.
Tho moro occupation of tho north sido of
tho port is a barren advantage, for, though it
might hold a garrison, it cannot shelter a
defeated army ; and it is obvious that, after
the failure of tho main object, all tho ability
and generalship of tho Russians will bo re
quired to Bavo the whole body of their forces
in tho Crimea from destruction. Wo there
fore infer that tho northern forts will either
be held for a time by a limited garrison, or,
moro probably, altogether abandoned, in tho
bono of saving the army.
Princo (joi tschakoll s plan of campaign
has long since been made j judging, therefore,
from the accustomed tactics of tho Russian
army, as well as from tho extrenio difficulty
of his present position, we incline tothe opin
ion that he will adopt tho course of a general
and immediate retreat To hold the Crimea
without Scbastopol, and even after tl.o har
bor of Scbastopol itself has been transformed
by conquest into tho base of operations of
tho invading armies, would be a bootless and
unprofitable task, and the danger is greatly
aggravated uy the tuct that tho whole body
of tho Allies, with unlimited mcaus of naval
transport at their command, will shortly be
at liberty to advance upon any part of the
reninsula which is accessible irom tho coast.
These immediate consequences of their
own success in the siege operations mnsthavo
been considered ny the allied Uenerals, nnd
tho moment is now arrived when they may
proceed to open tho campaign of which tho
reduction of Sebastopol was tho first prelim
inary. That field operations of this nature
hare long been contemplated by tho allied
Governments, is obvious from the largo
cavalry forco they havo continued to send to
tho Crimen. Tho British army alone can
bring upwards of 3000 sabres aud lances into
the held, and tho French cavalry is still more
numerous and impatient of tho inaction to
which it has hitherto been condemned.
Fighting, as they are, iu closed lists, with
out tho means of escape, tho defeated Rus
sian army should be compelled to lay down
its arms, or to fight a general action, which
would crown tho series of our successes by a
still moro decisivo victory. Tho peninsula
itself is besieged and well nigh invested by
our fleets and armies, nnd if tho command of
a single road be lost, tho whole line by winch
supplies and communications can reach the
Ruiaus, is gouo. Such we take to bo the
rclstive position of tho belligerents in the
Crimea, and, with tho means of action at tho
disposal of tho French and English Generals,
we havo continent hopes of a glorious result,

C"Tbo Gazette is exceedingly anxious to
underrate, and render Mr. Bergstresscr un
popular with his whig friends. This will bo
up-hill jvork, as Mr. Bergstresscr, when in
tho legislature, was one of tho most popular
members, with whigs and democrats that wo
havo had for a long time. This is a fact well
known aud acknowledged by soma of the
codfish faction themselves.
Tho editor of tho Gazette doubts onr
ability to get up a good biography, ond says
he would rather have us "take his life than
write it." That should depend very much
upon the subject of tho memoir. Tho silence
of tho grave often covers up many defects of
character that a truthful biographer would
feel bound to narrate. A truthful biography
is sometimes any thing but flattering.

rU"Tho last attempt of the Gazette to
excise the wearing committeo in appointing
a foreigner who was not yet naturalised, as
Judge of the Mount Carmcl election, is upon
tho principle of representation that there
wero a number of naturalized citizens in Mt.
Carniol. Admitting this to be true, was it
necessary to appoint an unnaturalized Judge
to hold the election t Perhaps the only ex
cuse they could offer was that they could not
find three men in the township, who would
vote the codfibh ticket, much less hold their
election.

THE JANUS FACKD DEMOCRATS.
The editof of tho Gazette In the extremity
of its defence or excuse for supporting the
Know Nothing candidate for Senator, in op
position to Jesse O. Horton, tho regular
democratic candidate, asks if or assertion is
any bettor than theirs. If It was not, it would
be idle and useless In a man attempting to
rely on bis charactor for consistency and
veracity. Any parrot can make assertions,
but it is another to prove thorn. Unfortu
nately for tho Gazette, our statements are
generally fortified by the documents evi
dence which the Gazette and tho faction that
control it, cannot and dare not deny. But
what evidence can the Gazette and its faction
produce In its defence t Nothing 1 literally
nothing, but its plea of "not guilty," a plea
that any culprit at tho bar may pnt in, but
which avails nothing without proof to sustain
it. In order to screen himself nnd the swear,
ing faction, for their opposition to the demo
cratic ticket last fall, the editor of the Gazette
finds it necessary and convenient to state that
Jesse C. Horton opposod Gov. Bigler, and
that too, in tho face of all evidence to the
contrary. In order to show what tho real
opinion of tho Gazette nnd its faction was in
regard to Mr. Horton, or rather, we should
say, what one of their opinions was, (because
they gonernlly have ovcrnl on the samo sub
joct,) wo will quote an editorial extract from
the Sunbury Gazette of July 6th, 1800. Tho
editor in roferrine to the fact that Mr. Hot-
ton declined being a candidate for Congress
says :
"Gen. Horton is one of tho firmest demo
crnts in tho district, and has many warm and
zealous friends, who were anxious to havo on
opportunity to exert themselves lor tho pur
pose of placing him in nomination."
And now we ask what confidence can nny
ono have in men who cnlogiso and bespatter
a man with praise ono day, and revile him
tho next t
Is it any wonder that tho party organiza
tion has been destroyed and degraded, in the
hands of uuch leaders T
C3T Tho Gazette makes another lamo "at
tempt to screen tho codfish party in this
placo, for having boasted, nnd published to
tho world, that they nil voted tho Know
Nothing ticket last full these samo Know
Nothings which they now denounco ns tho
worst rascals living. Tho editor talks about
tho dollars and cents that influenced the
actions of tho opponents of tho codfish fac
tion and whether it is any thing moro thau
the "dollars and cents" of n certain aspirant
to office in town, who is anxious to divido the
offices among his favorites that holds together
the swearing faction iu Suubury. The Ga
zette also refers to Gen. Cameron's largo sub
scriptions to the Susquehanna rail road, and
Major Dewart's small ono. Gen. Cameron
is able and can be made to pay nny subscrip
tion ho makes, and no ono doubts his inten
tion or ability But Major J'cwart, says
tho Gazette, is President of the Sunbury
Canal nnd Water Power Company. How
patriotic and public spirited it is in the
Major 1 If the public could only bo satisfied
that it was not tho largo number of "dollars
and cents" that he receives for his littlo ser
vices, it would, perhaps, settlo an exceedingly
perplexing question.
CJ The swearing faction having been foiled
iu all their movements, are now directing
their puny batteries against Gen. Cameron,
and ask tho support of democrats for their
ticket because it is opposed to Gen. Cameron
Now this is certainly very modest. It is only
a few years since as we havo already shown,
that tho leading opponents of Gen. Cameron
in this placo toasted him and passed resolu
tions in bis favor, and now because Major
Dewart wants to go to Congress, nnd hap
pens to dislike Gen. Cameron, every man who
does not oppose him is denounced. The
question is simply this, aro the people to elect
officers to suit themselves, or to suit Major
Dewart and his swoaring committee. Now
as there is no regular democratic ticket in the
field this fall, tho people will be very apt to
choose men who do not bulor.g to the codfish
faction.

Tho victory, however, has been purchased at
an immense sacrifice of hnman life. The los3
of the Allies being estimated at 20,000, and
that of tho Russians 10,000. The fortifica

strongest tho world ever knew. The destruc

Military history of the world. In point of
magnitude, expense and the vast sacrifico of
life, it is tho greatest military operation of the
kiud on record. But the French have car
ried off the trophies. After tho capturo of
tho MalakoiT town, tho strongest and most
important of the Russian defences, by the
French, the Russians began to retreat blow

A FARMER.
For the Sunbury Americau.
Mr. Masskr: It has been reported in cer
tuin quarters that Mr. Cleaver has declined
being a candidate for Canal Commissioner nt
the ensuing election. This is false, I am au
thorized to state that Kimiier Cleaver
nominated as bo was by the oi-e.v American
Convention, does not feel at liberty to, and
will not decline. He is the caudidato of tho
open American organization, nnd it is hoped
that all in favor of Americanizing America,
will give him their freo and undivided sup
port. Truly Yours,
J.J. JOHN.
