from 1 the check It gives to the ardent hopes
wtriph.had been entertained of immediate sue*
coss*.and from the additional,-Josses such, a
cqntest- has caused to both armies; yet it
mink bo borne in mind-(hat. in the progress of
a tong.and difficult siege there is nothing ex
ir’aprdinttry, in the .repulse of one or more
partial-assaults, -
This is in fact, the first time since the com*
mrnccnient of theCrimean'war that our ar*
mie».bave sufieredany check in on important
combined operation. The Russians have
been repulsed a dozen times during the siege
in their nocturnoJ sorties and attacks on the
French and English lines, although our works
ore incomparably weaker (ban the Malakoff
Tower and, tho Redan. Scarcely a siege of
orty magnitude is to be found in military.his
tory in which the garrison has not-, once or
twice beaten back the besiegers from its works.
The Russians made no less lhan five as
saiilis on Silisirin,. ami were five times de
feated, The French were foiled in their at-
Momefon, though they are now
victoriously possessed of it. Our sorrow at
this failure and especially at the sacrifice of
gallant and devoted men. which it has cost
us, is. at least unmixed with despondency,
although it seems we have yet to learn the
w hole extent of the resources of the place and
the enemy to whom we are opposed.
-■“We have some reason to believe that on
ihe.iSih the British troops had already car
ried the Redan, when they found themselves
exposed to such a fire from the enemy’s cuns

formed of ihe appalling difficulties which the
Ffench had to encounter at (he works round

ihat-dayl carried all before it.
“Tbe Fronch not only drove the Russians
out'of fhoir Mamelon, bat pursued them to
the earthworks-abutting ontho MuldkoffTow
or. There -tbey found ■ themselves on the
brink of a huge ditch formed by the excava
tion of the earthworks, and in the ditch a
strong abattis or palisade was erected, through
which) they attempted 10-foreo llieir way,—i-
The .French troops were extremely exposed;
iris not clear that any of the usual means
hud been provided for effecting the descent'
inia the ditch, or for blowing up the abattis ;
but the trenches were lined wish'Russians,
nrttl'O hand-to-hand battle ensued, which, en,

Gentlemen of the Potter Journal, Bradford Re

This number completes the first volume ol the
Agitator. Whether our year’s journey together,
friendly readers, has been mutually agreeable dr oth-'
erwisc, we have no belter means of judging than
Ihkt of a steadily increasing patronage oh your part
and an increasing desire to deserve it, on ours. We
have experienced few jars so far, and our relations
with the “world and tho rest of mankind” have in
no instance been seriously ihlerrdplcd. ‘ We enter
upon tho second volatile with.the' largest circulation

to make it onc-ilurd larger than it now is within the
next six months. ‘
Oar platform U essentially tho same as that sab
milled a year ago:
1. Freedom—personal, political, intellectual land
spiritual—to every one of God's intelligences, with
out distinction of race, color or sex.
3, No compromise with wrong; and therefore
no compramiso with Rum and Slavery. The uncon
ditional surrender to Freedom of all territory now
free, and tiro immediate abolition of Slavery in .all
territory where Congress has jurisdiction.
3. The right of discussion and agitation; and
tho privilege of saving the Union by aiding in tic
pttoyiog tho unnatural Union of Freedom and Slave-
T J‘
3. The right of suffrage not to bo subject to the
accidents ol sex, or color. The right of \V oman to
practice law, medicine, or to preach, and ti<;e term.
5. Entire Prohibition of tho importation, manu
facture and sale of spirituous liquors, cilhcr hy Gov
ernment or individuals. Proper protection to Home
Industry.
We apprehend that our position is distinctly de
fined ; and if the people conclude to sustain us, wc
will try to deserve their patronage. If not, we can't
bo starved while flicro is a spare spade or hoc where
with to dig. Real assured, friends, that this paper
will never bo the organ of a smaller extent of ter
ritory Ilian tho whole County, and will pover ignore
a plank of the above platform. Wo are no advocates
of i milk-and-water crukado against Rum or Slavery
—bat shall persist in calling things by their light
nsnics, in calling Tyrants, Tyrants !
We hope that all oar old subscribers will settle up
for the past year, who have not already done so, and
take advantage of our now terms. The paper will
be flirnished to those paying ilfictly in advance at
ONE DOLLAR a year.

No, Sit!—The Miltonian, recently published the
proceedings of the K. N| National Convention with
its infamous platform, and endorsed the whole lump
in the following language:
“Wo think no party in this country ever pot forth
such a nobly inspired platform of political faith as is
expressed in this declaration of American Principles.’
Upon which the Pittsburg Oaxtite remarks:
"We have no. doubt, from the course of this and
other papers in that region, that the whole tier of
counties along the npper Susquehana will endorse
tho plalfbrm."
No, sir! The “whole tier" won’t do any such
outrageous thing. And wo would liko to know
what paper out'of Lycoming and Northumberland
counties ever gave you tho slightest reason for sop.
posing it. Tioga lies on tho Susquehana waters,
and Tioga “spits on that platform" and the knaves
who forced it upon tho Convention. The Republic
ana will see to it that such subservience to the South
is properly rebuked in the Northern tier, depend on
that. Lycoming and Northumberland wo hand
over Id yen hoping you will scourgo them into bet
ter actions, Hope you won’t neglect the caso of
the Harrisburg Telegraph while you arc about it.

thing for Prohibition in Tioga, then it's ‘no go.’
As to tho political color of the Balance, the sain

about 24 miles west of. this village; lin-their

the Family narrowly escaped with their lives.
We . also hear reports of other deaths by
downing, of narrow escapes, &c,, but. the
reports ate 100 indefinite For us to 'attempt (0
publish them. ;
The disasters resulting fyomthe Hood are
painful in the extreme, and beside the loss of
life, which is a mournful calamity indeed, the
losses sustained by the destruction of proper
ty and crops within the village and vicinity,
it is impossible to make anything like a defi
nite estimate of. The damage in the -village
alone exceeds tens of thousands of dollars. -
It appears that the flood was very distrucl
ive in Almond, from which point a large a
mount of rubbish floated down and accumu
lated against Mr. Hart's dum, about a mile
and a half above this village, until that dam.
was swept away, when the whole mass rush
ing down swept away the B. & N. Y. City-
Railroad bridge, also the Main and Cunisteo-st.
bridges.on the westerly side of the.village;
ihe dwelling house and barn of L. Stephens,
and the cooper shop of J, L. Truair, also
several shanties and other buildings were
carried away. In fact, scarcely any one has
escaped without some damage; field crops,
fedees, gardens sidewalks, Arc. are more or
less injured in every part of the village.—
There is scarcely a cellar ie Ihe village that
is not more or less filled with wmer, and the
derangemenl and eflbcts everywhere visible
create a lou/ing of gloom and despondency
throughout the emiro community.
The damage caused by the flood in the
Village of Almond and vicinity, we regret to
learn, was fully equal in extern (the size of
the place considered) to that of our own vil
lage. A gentleman from Almond informs us
that one woman was drowned there, and four
or five dwellings and some ten other build
ings were carried away by ihe flood.—Horn

Missing Money JLettcra Discovered.
.We learn ihatMr. Danish B, Wilhelm, a
most worthy gentleman, Well known in ‘Bal
timore, who keeps a paper mill near Union
town, in Baltimore county, last November,
purchased in Baltimore a parcel of waste pa
per, which he sent to his mill to be worked
over- in the manufacture of wrapping paper.
Shortly after receiving it one of his hands
found a letter among the paper containing
823 in bank notes, but the letter was destroy
ed by the person finding it, and the money
handed orer to Mr. Wilhelm. Shortly afier
this Mr. Wilhelm having given orders that
all the sealing wax should be lorn off the old
newspaper packages, &c<, before they were
thrown into the mill, as such substances were
likely to injure the machinery, his foreman
was tearing uff the wax adhering to the pa
per, and came across a number of packages,
which were torn open and thrown in to be
ground into pulp. Finally, a package was
torn open and iho wrapper thrown m and
with it a-check for 810,000, which was sup
posed to bo a cancelled one, many such hav
ing been found' among the old paper. On
further unrolling the packages.a large nunv
her of bank bills were found in the interior
wrapper, on various banks, some of them
ones, twos, and lives, to the amount of 8434.'
On finding these notes, the check accompany
ing them and the wrapper had both disap
peared imho mill, and no clue could bo dis
covered as to whom ihey belong. Mr. Wil
helm, to whom tho money was promptly
handed -by his- foreman immediately come lo
the qiiy in November lasi, and advertised in
two papers the fact that he bad found some
sums of money among some waste paper, and
calling on the owners to come forward and
prove property. This money has since been
claimed by the special post office -agent, Mr.
Maguire, who assferls that tho letters or pock
ages containing them were missing from the
Baltimore post office, and that the waste paper
purchased doubtless came from that quarter.
Mr. Wilhelm, w 6 learn,-‘gave up the 825 on
the production of a letter froih a lady ad
dressed to Mr. Maguire, who staled that she
had malled'Such an amount .to this city,
which had'never reached its destination.—
He has, we learn, also given up a portion of
the 8484 to Mr. Maguire, who asserts he
has found ihfe owner, hut declines giving up
ihe balance lo him until the ownership of U
is more '■ satisfactorily proven;— Baltimore-

Another occasion has recently occurred in
which the majesty of the law is repaired to
be vindicated, but unfortunately; “the bool
was on the other leg”—the slaveholders era
the aggressors, and those who stand by the
law are nothing but a set of honest, well
meaning yankees, who had taken Congress
at its word, and gone far away into.the wil
derness to establish there a free State. - When
the time comes that they are to act under the
law which Congress bad given for their gov
ornmen, armed bodies of blood-thirsty slave
holders rush in there, armed to the teeth, and
by force and arms, seized upon the ballot
box, and not only wiihout a show of law, but
in the grossest violation of it, subvert the
rights of the people, and seize themselves,
upon the power, and threaten to bang the
Governor—the officerof the'administration's
own appointment —if he refuses lo recognise
their action. The Governor nobly-nnd bold
ly dares them to their worst, and proceeds to
Washington to lay the case before tbe.gov

The Outrage on Opv. Reeder.
A Kansas correspondent.of. The Si. Louts
Republican sends,ito that paper the annexed
statement .or what took place between Gov.
Reeder and Bully F..Stringfellow at the re
cent interview between them referred to to a
previous number of’l'Ae Tribune.
Yesterday morning, June 27, Gen. B. f.
Stringfellow of Weston, Mo., proceeded to
Gov. Reeder’s residence, near the Shawnep
Mission, and aftet introducing himself to tho
Governor said. “I understand, Sir, that you
have publicly spoken, and written of mo in
the East as a frontier rutfioe, and 1 have
called to ascerlain_whether you have dona
soT’
Gov. R.—“l did not so write or speak of
you in public.”
Gen. S—“ Did you speak of me to thow
terms anywhere, or at any tune !”
Gov. R.—“No, Sir.”
Gen. S,—“Did you use my name at all.”
Gov. R,—“[ may have used your name
in private conversation.”
Gen. 3. —“Did you use it disrespectfully.
Did you intimate, or insinuaie, that 1 was oth
er than a gentleman I”
Gov. R.—“l might have pone so.' 1 ,.
Gen, S.—-Then, sir, you uttered a false
hood, and I demand of you (lie'Satisfaction
of a gentleman. I very much question your
right to that privilege, for I dp not believe you
to be a -gentleman; but I nevertheless giro
you the opportunity to vindicate your title to
that character, by allowing>you to select such
friends as you may please, and J will do tha
same, and we will, step out Loro and settle
the matter as gentlemen usually do.”
Gov. R,—“l cannot go. lam no fighting
roan,”
Gen. S.—“Theni will have lo treat you
as i would any other offensive animal.”
And with that, hei knocked Reeder down,
with his fist, I suppose the Abolitionists will
pronounce this a “ruffianly attack,” Let
one of them do so, and then dare tp show
his face in Kansas I . . .;
