Some of the allied ships are .lying off the Fortress,of Kinbutn and Island of Tendra, hear Odessa, with the object of intercepting any Russian reinforcements intended for.ihe Crimea. , It is positively stated that while a portion of the British fleet was at Baltschik embar king troops, the Russians succeeded in sen ding a strong reenforcemenl by sep from Odessa to Sevastopol. 1 They crept out of port by night and the troops being conveyed Jo : the Inge shajlow lighters and floats used for loading corn on, the Danube, were lowed elope along shore, and thus escaped the allied cruisdrs. Nay, more, a Russian steamer came to thoenterance of Baltschik Bay, while the. fleets were there, and sent in two bonis to rcconnoiter. On the 7th a Russian steamer landed a de tachment of Cossacks at Galatz, who destroy ed the magazines of the (Austrian) Danubian Steamship Company, and shipped the coals. Since August 24 Prince MencfjikofT has been in incessant activity between"Perekop and Sevastopol, organizing a levy en matte. Odessa letters of the 6th state that, all the troops in the Crimea have been-marched to Sevastopol, and reenforcements were hurrying from Nikolajeff and Alcschki toward Pere kop. Prince MenchikofT has exausted every means of defence in order to render Sevasto pol impregnable, as well from the land as from the seaside.' Between Sevastopol and Balaklava there are five strong detached forts, sufficiently garrisoned. The road from Balaklava to Yalta is ren dered impassible and partly ruined.' There are three forts at Gupataria, one on the north, a second on the east, a third on the west, and the place is garrisoned'by 16,000 men. The hights in the rear of Sevastopol are encircled by redoubts and trenches; are armed with with eighteen batteries and defended by 20, 000 men. The garrison of Sevastopol itself is only 10,000 strong. [lt is said that reen forcements have been since thrown in from Odessa.] There are 15,000 sailors on board the fleet in harbor. Trince MenchikofT issued a proc tarnation on the 2d, in which he prepared the citizens for a resistance to the last extremity. In this proclamation he enumerates all the victories gained by the Russians arms during the present century, and calls on his soldiers to show themselves equal to their predecess ors in bravery and power of endurance. If the enemy, (he says,) owing to Use inscruta ble will of heaven, should obtain a victory, then let the whole store of powder go with him into the air! The proclamation con cludes “ Rather let us die than surrender 1” On (he other band, the Vienna Loydt states that the Russians line of defense is too exten ded to be successfuly maintained, and that, from the nature of the soil, the entrenched works just constructed by the Russians on the land side of Sevastopol cannot be very form idable. A private letter from Russia describes Gen era) Gortchakoff as a higly educated man, well read in the literature of all countries, but at the same time an elderly, used-up man, without a spark of military fire, a General fit only for parade. Paskiewich it irreverently speaks of as 11 an antiquated souvmir." Af ter lamenting the lack of able Generals in the Russian army, the writer stales the best Gen eral the Russians have is Nicholas himself, and the second-best his son Constantine. -• From Vienna, morning of the 20th, it is telegraphed that the main body of the allied fleet bad reapeared before Sevastopol, and the Russian fleet had again run into port. There is a rumor that the English have captured a Russian express steamer off Sevastopol, with imi>''rlnnt dispatches. Nine thousand men continued to work in cessantly el the fortifications of Cracow, which place it is intended to make one of the strongholds of the Russibn Empire. It will be some years ere the works are completed. The advanced works extend nearly five Eng lish miles beyond the city. Women. Theodore Parker, in a recent “ sermon,” Uttered the following, touching women : Thera are three classes of women— Fire), domestic drudges, who are wholly taken up in the material details of their housekeeping and childkeeping. Theirlhouse keeping is a trade and no more ; and after they have dona that, there is no more which they can do. In New England it is a small «lasa, gelling less every year. Next there are domestic dolls, wholy taken np with the vain show which delights the eye and ear. They are ornaments of estaie. Similar toys, I suppose, will one day be more cheaply manufactured at Paris, Nuremberg, at Frankfort-on-the-Main, and other toyshops jo Buropt, out of wax or papier mache, and sold ig Boston at the haberdasher's by lha tjoxen.

Some quaint writer, (we cannot jost now recall his name,) terms Nature u The most perfect calcu lator in Croatian.” This is probably true, though oddly enough expressed, for however much short, siglitedness may be apparent in Homan economy there is none discoverable in the Divine. Nature is kept in balance by antagonistic forces. There are no exceptions to the laws of gravitation, attraction and repulsion. Everything in her domain is subject to fixed laws, working harmoniously and uninter ruptedly. The nice adaptation of means to ends is everywhere perceivable, and the recognition of this adaptedness is what inspires men to wait hopefully fur the u good time coming.” The law of Moses was peculiarly adapted to the wants of the people to whom it wee given. Hu manity, as defined by modern philanthropists, was not a leading characteristic of the Mosaic code. A retaliatory spirit, rather than a spirit of Love, seems to vitalize it It did not aim at the reforms, tion of the offender through the instrumentality of Love, hot through Fear. So with their religious sys tem ; As a people, the Jews were spiritually unde veloped snd incapable of other than a sensuous recognition of Deity, Their religion was a cum brous mass of superstitions, faintly shadowing the sublime troths of the Actual As Mind learned to tread in advance of prescribed rales, the Jewish forms and ceremonies became un satisfactory. As the spiritual became more devel oped, it found no adequate support iu types and shadows, hence, it leaned toward the grosser form of Materialism, for it had no guide to point the way up to a better faith. At this crisis, the New Dispensation dawned on a groping world. Jesus of Nazareth came to lift the great heart of Israel from the degradation of form worship into which it bad fallen. The simplicity of his teachings awoke a purer ambition in the hearts of men, and railed back the lido of a false Materia), ism that was stealing in upon the domain of Mind. There was an age when Europe was drunk with the wine of Rome and weighed down with the hor rid abuses practiced and encouraged under the false name of Christianity, Luther arose, and battled no bly and successfully for Troth. He, with his help ers, lifted the curtain which had so long shut out the sunlight of Truth from Man, and he became disgusted with the monstrous deformity into which Christianity had been tortured. So, it has ever been. It is no idle proverb, “It is aliaay* the dart:eel betore day.” It is true. When extremes meet there is always a compromise, and the immediate result is a stale of affairs compound ed of both. If we look at the course pursued by political par ties in this country for the past ten years, their pres ent disorganized condition will not appear so much a matter of surprise. Whot were once vast aggre gated majorities, carrying everything before them by the force of numerical strength rather than by the force of principle, are now fast dwindling into minorities held together, not by any great devotion to any distinct feature of policy, hut by namea. A new parly lias sprung up, silently, swiftly and cloth ed with the energies of a young giant If it is a dangerous parly, Whigs and Democrats have but to thank themselves for its existence. Through the ve nal ambition of party leaders the ballot-box has be come a chattel, pul up and sold at the political auc tion-block for a consideration. That consideration ia no more or Icie than the euffrogn of naturalized eilizene. Those who reside in the neighborhood of our pub. lie works, hsvo seen with indignation tbie shameful prostitution of the ballut-boz connived at by men reckless of all except their selfish interests. The distribution of offices of honor and profit by the present national Administration, with an especial view to propitiate foreign voters, his helped to arouse the indignation of tbs whole country. It was the last drop in a eup whose overflowing is deluging the strongholds of political corruption. - Both great parties have been guilty of fishing fbr the foreign vote, but the Democratic party hi* si. ways taken the lead, snd has been the most success. fnL It has had the magic of a name to assist it In this way the balance of power has fkllen into tbs hands of foreigners, who, unfortunately, bold it to the use of demagogues, who deceive ibam into sub.

We have teen the practical working of this coilttoipllble scheming in the smallest placet— candidates for the petty office of constable, bowing, smirking and shaking hands with Irish and German citizens whom they heartily despised, all for the few votes such a course might attract from that quarter. We have known candidates to refuse to arrest riot, oua persons when those persons were foreigners, and to such, and many other like misdemeanors the Know-Nothings owe thsir existence. iHj tio » ■ day i i ■ wg ■ ■ ; •sgw, ~; 1 11 »j*4 '"" 1 Iw'lUt are Wfk few men So pray, iw •eefaf rtwn"flot,jjpß dawnfiJlof m “ Him otßin" —IMP cooUibnli®f|el Himi to HteamietibipiM doffidofat, whao||gopoaed it fidgfpSn ereryerud to get the Catbalio vote".

This iathe most popular mode also, and that is a great help. It is the cheapest mode, and that is another argu ment in its favor. It places a branch of knowledge heretofore only accessible to the few whose means enable them to avail themselves of the advantages afforded in our high schools and colleges, within the reach of ail—the day laborer, as well as the.idle gentleman. There ere hundreds who look with a sort of contempt upon u book-learning,” who can not be reached in any other way. It would be difficult to find s village of any size in either Connecticut or Massachusetts,’ without its library of choice and instructive books, free to ail upon the annual payment of a nominahsam to be applied to the defraying of unavoidable expenses. And however admirable the Common School sys. terns of those States may be, there can be no doubt | but that the general intelligence of their inhabitants is no less the beneficent result of the free Library system, than of the free School system. Ideas are best impressed upon the mind through the medium of the ear, rather than the eye, nevertheless. ',. ... Wellsborongh can afford, and at a pecuniary prof it, too, a course of Lectures from such memai Ward 1 Beecher, Bethune, Potter, Greeley, Parker, Saxe, Bayard Taylor, Chapin and other celebrated and popular lecturers, this coming winter. Yet most of these men receive from 940 to 950 per night We are aware that this will look like a great outlay, to many; but it must be remembered that either of the abovenamed gentlemen would attract an andi ence of 300 people, under proper management, at the lowest estimate. These, at 35 cents each, (and few will find fault with the price} would bring in sn | income of 975—which would leave a fair margin of profit, after paying all needinl expenses. Lest some feel disposed to think us too sanguine,, it may not be out of place to state, that we have seen the thing tried, within a year, and with the. happiest result*. Even the most sanguine looked for a loss the first season, and made up a purse la meet it. A charter was procured, late in the fall, too, and several of the abovenamed lecturers were, engaged to lecture during the season. When the course was ended, the Society found that instead of a deficit, there was a liberal surplus iu the treasury; and this, too, after meeting extra expenses. Now, the Society has made arrangements for s Qill Course of lectures daring this coming winter, from some of the most brilliant minds of the age; and wo proph esy that its next annual report will exhibit a sur plus of several hundreds of dollars, which will be applied to the purchasing of one of the best assort ed libraries in the State. We hive not written this article intending to drop the subject here, or, indeed, within the neit three months. We do not expect to work alone, either. There ore men here who ought to go about and talk the matter orer with their neighbors, while we talk it over with them on paper. It will be strange if this community does n’t awake to the importance of multiplying the channels through which informa tion can flow down to all classes, grades and condi tions of men. A Chance for Anti - Slavery Men The Virginia colonizalionists notice the fact that the heirs of a gentleman of Virginian, lately deceas ed, wish, in compliance with the wishes of their tes tator, to send 48 negroes to Liberia in November. These people will not be freed except money for their transportation can be raised from private do nations. They are appraised at 835.000. Here is a rare chance for philanthropists.— Exchange, Oh, indeed! such a rare chance for the exercise of philanthropy—such an astonishing chance to em balm $25,000 worth of immortal souls in the milk and-water of human kindness! 835,000 worth of souls and bodies—put up like so many working oxen! Shade of Howard 1 What is the argument? Ob, wo enslaved their grandfathers and grandmothers, after kidnapping and forcing them away from their native shores. We bought, sold and flogged their fathers and moth ers, gave them in marriage one to another, separa ted them—wife from husband—parents from chil dren—brolliera from sisters, forever! And now, here is a rare chance for philanthropists to crown, the wrong by contributing to expatriate these 48 hu man beings from their native laud! Merciful rea sonsr, you scatter the good deeds of a Howard like sere leaves before an autumn tempest! What! is philanthropy so doubtful a virtue ns to be made to own such brutality as a part of its teach ings 7 No; its teachings no more resemble such sentiments than the glare of mid-day does a alar, less, moonless midnight. Those 48 men, women and children, are Americans by birth and asssocia lion. They were trained up in a school peculiarly American—in which the doctrine that “ All men are created free and equal,” is taught, and buying, selling and flogging men and women, is practiced. And the expatriation of these 48 untbrtunates4s asked lor in the name of charity I Why did that testator forget that in emancipating them be only restored to them what he had unlawfully deprived them of? end why did’nt be will that they should be fkirjy remunerated for the labor they had per formed 7 It would only have been an aet qf simple justice, .

Prohibition. —Tile Litchfield (CL) Republican, in a report of the Agricultural Fair lately held in that village, has the following: “One feature of the Exhibition was morally grand —and that is, not an instance of intoxication was observable—all were sober, cheerful and appa rently happy." There is a grand and comprehensive sermon con tained in that little paragraph—and so happy an il lustration of the beneficence of Prohibition, des troys the arguments of its apposers root and branch. We once or twice, but a few years ago, attended the Exhibitions of the Litchfield county Agricultural Society. Then, License dispensed the red curse of the Liquor Traffic in the (speaking ironically) land of steady habits. What a scene was presented then to the eyes of the beholder I Pot-gut presided over the destinies of the day; creatures in the image of the Creator, reeled and staggered, and grovelled an the green lawn in drunken helplessness. Here and there little squads gathered and rent the air with maudlin oaths, and filthy abase of the bystanders, or fought with one another like wild beasts—giving the term, Cattle Skate, a painfully significant mean ing. | Worn an—glorious in her proper sphere, an an gel in the right fulfilment of her mission, but oh, bow pitilhl to to look upon in her degradation—we saw her, too, trampling her womanly garments in the dost and helping to swell the drunken disorder! We prayed for the deliverance of Connecticut from the bonds of the spoiler, then, and now she is free, not by a miracle, but by the untiling vigilance of her children. May we be soon able to say as much for Pennsylvania. Agricultural Fair at Tioga. The first Agricultural Fair in this county was held at Tioga on the 4ih and sth insl., and, was said, by persons boobed up in such matters, to compare well with similar exhi bitions in older districts, and where Agricul tural Societies have been long, in operation. Independent of all comparisons, there was a fine display of Fruits, Domestic Manufac tures, Fancy Articles, Cattle, Horses, &c., &c., well calculated to surprise the natives. People of both sexes, from all parts of the county, were in attendance on both days, crowding the hall, and never lired with feast ing their eyes on the beauty of the various articles there exhibited. On the forenoon of (he 6th, a plowing match took place between Simon Prutzman and Isaac Aspinwall, of Tioga township, with horse teams, and aomebody else with an ox team.' The ox team, for some reason, was soon withdrawn, and the strife proceeded between the other parties, until each had plowed his allotted ground. The time and quality of each performance were so nearly equal in merit that it was difficult to decide between them, though the first prize was awarded to Mr. Prutzman. On the afternoon of the 6th the people as sembled in the Methodist Church and heard an excellent address from the Rev. David Mukdock, D. D., of Elmira. The speaker presented in a very clear light, the impor tance of Scientific Agriculture, both as a means of material thrift, and na intellectual stimulus to the farmer; calculated to ele vate his profession and him, to that grade of respectability and in influence, which nat urally belong to them —a remedy for that disgust of rural life, which drives so many farmer’s bods and daughters into other ranks of society. I believe the whole proceedings went smoothly on to the end, without any notable excitement or dissatisfaction. The deport ment of the company on bath days, was uni formly such as to remind the Old Settler of the vast change produced by temperance influence. One person at least was there during the greater part of bath days without observing a single case of drunkenness, 1 do not soy that there was no drunkenness, but there must have been a small amount of it, if any—and in ibis respect at least I challenge all other Agricultural Fairs to beat ours, if they can. I would send you a more detailed account, did I not understand that a detailed Official report will aoon appear. Yours, One who was th ebx.

Brothers and Sisters, may it ever be our aim to watch over a wayward brother, and by gentle force wean him poisonous cup that turns a man into a demon. Let us not'confine ourselves to simply warning our fellow-citizens against the dangerous habit of drinking liquor, and the evils of intempe rance, but let us go still farther, may we de clare that there is no safety but in entire ab stinence from all that will intoxicate. Tbe Primitive Jba> I hold it morally impossible for God to have created, in the beginning, such men and women as we find (he human race, in their physical condition, now to be. Examine the book of Genesis, which contains the earliest annals of the human family. As is com monly supposed, it comprises the first 2,369 years of human history. With a child-like simplicity, this book describes the infancy of mankind. Unlike modern histories, it de tails the minutest circumstances of social and individual life. Indeed it is rather a series of biographies than a history. The false delicacy of modern times did not forbid the mention of whatever was done or suffered. And‘yet, over all that expanse of time—for more than one-third part of the duration of the human race—not a single instance is re corded of a child born blind, or deaf, or dumb, or idiotic, or malformed in any way I During the whole period, not a single case of of natural death in infancy, or childhood, is to be found. Not one man or woman died of disease. The simple record is “ and he died,” or, he died “ in a good old age, and full of years,” or, he was “old and full of days.” No epidemic, nor even endemic dis ease prevailed, showing that they died the natural death of healthy men, and not the unnatural death of distempered ones. Thro’ all this lime (except in the single case of Job in his age, and then only for a day or two before his death) it does not appear that any man was t ill, or that any old lady or young lady ever fainted. Bodily pain from disease is nowhere mentioned. No cholera infantum, scarlatina, measles, small pox—not even a toothache I So extraordinary a thing was it for a son to die before his father, that an in stance of it is deemed worthy of special no tice; and this first case of the reversal of na ture’s law was 200 years after the creation of Adam, See how this reversal of nature’s law has for us become the law j for how rare is it now for all the children of a family to survive the parents. Rachel died at the birth of Benjamin ; but this is the only case of puerperal death mentioned in the first 2,400 years oi the sacred history ; and even this happened during the fatigues of a patri archal journey, when passengers were not wafted along in the saloons of railcar or steamboat. Had Adam, think you, lurberctt loua lungs ? Was eve flat-chested, or - did she cultivate the i.serpentine line of grace in a ctirved spine?

From Kama*. Kansas Aug. 28, 1654. To. the Editor of the National Era i Those who intend to come, and feel an interest in the success of freedom in Kansas, cannot come too soon. They should be here before the choosing ofjhe first Legislative Council, as upon that Council much will de pend ; for, if it bo Pro-Slavery, it will pass a law permitting Slavery in the Territory— and once established, it will be hard to erad icate. My main object now is to warn emigrants against the impositions of Slavery propagan dists, who are in the practice of telling per sons from-the free State all manner of lying stories about Kansas, to deter them from coming here. As an instance I may men tion that a gentleman came here a few days ago from Pennsylvania, aud falling in with a prominent slaveholder, be was told that it was of no use to go further, for- the country was all claimed, and the emigrants were fighting over it ; that the country was very sickly, so that the people could scarcely live, with other stories of a like character, all of which be knew to be false. But a small part of the country _is,ye( oc-, cupied, and it is now eight years since 1 first came hero, since which I have spent thrte years here, and it is my honest opinion that Kansas is one of the West.l The land is very high and rolling, and ihpe is the least standing of stagnant water that I have seen in any country. There are many beautiful streams of running water and springs of good water are very common. I would say to emigrants, believe no bad stories that you may hear by the way, but push on ; and those who come by the way of Independence, or Kansas in Missouri, may inquire for the Friends’ Mission, and (hey will be correctly informed about the country, and sent on their way rejoicing. As ever for Freedom, Oriealeit Steamer In the 'World. The immense screw and paddle steamer building,by Scott Russell, at Miliwall, Eng land, for the Eastern Steam Navigation com pany, is to be completed in twelve months. Her keel has been laid down, and several of her'bulkheads or compartments are raised, and the works are proceeding with energy and expedition. A railroad has been laid down the entire length of her way, to facili tate (he conveyance of the materials from the factory to the different parts of the vessel. The exact dimension's of tbe ship are as follows: Tunnage, builder’s" measurment, 23,000 tuna ; lunoage burthen, 10,000 tuns ; extreme length, 680 feel ; extreme breadth, 83 feet); extreme depth, 58 feet; power of engines, (screw and paddle,) 2600 horse. Her engines are in the course of construction, and will be-fitted iie-the vessel before she is floated off. The hull will be entirely of iron, and of more than usual strength, the magni tude of her size etfabling Mr. Brunei!, the architect to introduce many precautionary measures conducive to support and security. Prom her keel up to six feet above the water* line she is double, of a cellular construction. The upper deck will also be strengthened on the same principle, and will form a complete beam, similar to the beam of the Britlania bridge, so that any external injury will not affect the lightness or safely of the ship.— She is divided into ten separate water-tight compartments, each being sixty feet in length, enabling her to take out sufficient fuel for a voyage to Australia and back to England without stopping. ■ A Short sebman.— The more you are templed the more it is your duty to resist if Suian culls, either in shnpe of handsome calico, mint juleps, brandy-smashes, cherry* cdblers. old-rye eye openers, pin uight-cnps, (ate suppers or fashion seeing, just inform him you are not at home, but at least a couple hundred miles in the country.
