ONE W£El£ EATER FROM BIJ. ItOPB. MOVEMENTS IN THE CttlKBA, THE WAR. Active operations have beet) resumed in the Crimea, Prince Oorchakoff telegraphs, un d»r dale of the 23d September, that tho Al lies had landed 20,000 men at Eupaloria, and hbd,30,000 on the Russian flank. On the 25fd'lhti Allies attacked the 'Russian infantry and the latter retreated to the bights ever Rusta. Annthfer dispatch from Gorchakoff, dated the 26th, states that on the previous' day 33, 000 of the Allies had debouched from Eu patoria, and occupied the neighboring villages on the led flank. The Cossacks had taken twenty-five pris oners while foraging at Kertch. Dispatches from Sevastopol of the 16th an nounce that the Russians were fortifying themselves in the north part, and were con structing new batteries ; and that the French were advancing cavalry and a column of in fantry toward Btkshiserai by the Baidar road. Sevastopol is to be razed and the basin filled up. A fearful tempest had occurred at Sevasto pol, with very heavy rains. Gorchakoff reported on the 17'h that the Allies had attempted nothing up to that date on .the north side, but were concentrating their forces between Balakluva and the Cher naya, and constantly reoonnoiiering the left wing of the Russians from the Baidar vul lev. Letters from the camp mention th it the Allies were actively prepating for a cam paign. From three m four hundred deserters, most of them Poles, had arrived at the allied camp. They stated that the demoralization of the Russian army was most complete, and that such was the confusion from the first moment of lJ»e attack that the soldiers, exhausted with fatigue, remaied for twenty-four hours with out provisions. The loss ol the Russians is estimated at 18,000 men. The correspondent of the Paris Patrie, tinder dalei September 20, says ; ‘‘Ever since their retreat the Russians have continued to fire shells at us, and it would be a mistake to suppose that our armies in Sevastopol are beyond the range of the enemy's batteries on the Northern shore and on the Plateau. The balls from Fort Constantine reach beyond Strelnzka bay, and they can very ea sily throw their projectiles into the town. As to the batteries of the other forts, some of the puns in them arc so powerful that they can carry sho 1 right over the town and do execution in the advanced siege works; but although the Russian Are dues not cease, it js not very active The artillery and engineers in Sevastopol ajtl'evory where at work. Fort St. Nicholas, which was left almost intact, has been forti fied, and Us cannon already replies lo the en emy. Any atiempl of the Russians lo rclurn to the place is wholly out of ihe question. The Grand-duke Constantine arrived at Nicolaeff on ihe 2llh, and u was said the Czar himself would shortly visit that place to superintend the Winter Crimean cam paign A teller from Berlin, daied 23ti, says: Va rious circumstances al Si. Petersburg seem to indicate Ihai Prince GorchakofT will soon evacuate the lurts to Ihe north of Sevastopol, those forts being only strategic points, but great preparations are making by the Rus sians fur a winter campaign. The Russian treasury has received large sums of money through Berlin. English war material is constantly passing through Prussia for the army. On the 17th of September the Turkish troops at Constantinople, intended for Asia, were sent to Eupatona. The Anglo-Turkish comingenl would go to Trebtzond and be placed under Omar Pa sha. It was also announced that considera ble bodies 01 heoch troops had been sent to Eupatona. Judge Kane's Dilemma. If the opinion of Judge Kane is sound Con stitutional law ; if the slave chatlle can be carried by its owner into a fiee Stale, and right of service despite the local law, be re tained—then we aro all at sea, without chnit, compass or rudder, on the question of slave ry. If, as Judge Kane intimates, there is no statute of Pennsylvania which aflec’s to di vest the rights of property of a citizen of North Carolina, acquired and asserted under ihe laws of that Siaie, because h<- has found it necessary or convenient to pass through the territory of Pennsylvania, “whieh could be T'cogmzod as valid in a Court of ihe United Slates,'’ the t Stale sovereign! v is a farce and all Ihe old centralizing iem)enci<-s of federal ism are revived in iheir f.ille-l lorce. Slave- ry is a local insiioilion, or was, until Judge Kane tried (o make n nniioniil, and m>w it , must Pol law, that if the Northern States can- tie introduction upon their soil, iheytViolalcd the Constitutional compucl in their Various acts of emancipation. The de cision of Judge Kane may involve more im portant issues, and entirely abrogate our Slate laws. Under it what is to prevent Mr. Whee- ler from selling his slaves here while in trun lilu ? What is to prevent them from being levied upon for debt, and sold by Sheriff Al len in front of Independence Hall, as he sold a horse the other day 1 If slaves are “prop, eny” all these things may come to pass, and the “doleful sound” from the Toombs that he would call the muster roll of his slaves under the shadow of Bunker HiH-, be something more than a vaporing oratorical flourish from one of the chivalry. If Judge Kane bolds that slaves are property, he must forgot that Madison repudiated the introduction of any thing upon the face of our Constitution, which even indirectly recognised a properly in man. if Pennsylvania cannot legislate upon slave properly ao called, Congress can, under the clause concerning the migration and impor tation of persons. Let us have the question come up before Congress then, and see where we shall land after the storm has blown over. The most unfortunate day's work for the South ever accomplished—not even excepting the passage of (he Kansas hill—undoubtedly was that when Judge Kane showed )iis servility to the slaveholdiug interests by imprisoning a Northern freeman without the shadow of a i cause. —Philadelphia Swu& I THE AGITATOR.

In short, sa Mr. Micawber would say, ihe days draw nigh, wherein a generous fire will be one of llie comforts of life. We are a practical teetotaler, but cannot promise not lo look blue if deprived of, or slmtcd in fircaide comforts. We aro naturally honest, but cannot insure any of the neighboring woodpiles from the visits of a half frozen man. “Lead us not info Irmptalion, but de liver us from"—the tcirihle necessity of hooking our neighbors’ wood. Those wishing lo pay their subscriptions in wood are requested lo bring it noio. We wont ten cords ot good hard wood this very week and must have it if it can be gut. It will cost no more lo bring it now, than it will a month hence. P, S. Shall we have the wood ? Organize! The result of the campaign just closed must teach the independent volets of Tioga county a beneficial lesson. We have each fallen short of our duty, is the controlling influence of local issues over tho sen. liment of the masses relative lo U.c question of Free dmn, abundantly shows. We have neglected no op portunily of urging upon the friends of free soil and free men the great importance of organization. We have preached the Gospel of political union for the safe ol Freedom, lo the best of our ability, foresee, ing with many beside, that no battle could be suc cessfully fought with undisciplined forces against a well armed and well trained force. It is true that “ Ue Is* thrice armed who hath hi* quarrel just I” But falseh9od unfortunately is sometimes more than a match for justice. Justice mu.il triumph in (he end, but that ultimate for which men as good patri ots strive, may be advanced or retarded as men per. form their duty well or ill. It is conceded on all hands that a strong hostility to slavery extension exists among the masses of all parties throughout the county. This conceded, it is easy lu account for ihe distraction of the Republican forces evidenced by the vole just given fur Senator and Representative. Had there been a proper union of the aolhsluvery strength in this county, the little insignificant issues that contributed to reduce their majorities, would have fallen dead at the doors of Iheir fathers. As it is, the vote for Messrs. Souther and Baldwin misrepresents the true anti-slavery sen. timent in this county. It must not be taken as an expression of the popular feeling relative lo the all. absorbing issue of the day in Tioga. As far as Mr. Baldwin is concerned, no man ever had to contend with such a multitude of local issues. Superhuman efforts were put forth lo defeat him. Men traveled the county retailing lies and baseless misrcprcscnlut lions from the duy of his nominatioif up lo the open ing of the polls on election day. Ytt he weathered the storm and is triumphantly elected—not by so large a majority as he deserved, but, under (he cir. cumslanccs larger than was reasonably expected. Mr. Soul her should, and i could have received a majority of 1000, hud the facts concerning Mr. Ham lin’s course in the Senate while the Nebraska bill was pending in Congress been fully got before the people. But Hamlin's nomination was delayed un. til a late hour, for tho express purpose of keeping the facts from the people. The facta were famished the friends in different sections for distribution, but Ihcy were not properly dislribnled. Who Is blame ble 7 With the general result before him, the dullest of apprehension cannot liesilale as to the path of duty. It is so plain that all may walk in Haud slumble'not. Anti-Slavery men mutt mend their vrayt. They mnst organize. Every school district moat be organ ized. The dark, neglected comers mast be illumin ated with facts relating to the great question of the limes—Human Slavery.

He gains also in Union, Elkland and Gaines. Shippen gives him a majority of 97—near ly double the whole number of votes cast for him there last year. Which shall have the banner, Mid dlebury, or Shippen 1 The young men of Middlebu ry are Irusly, true and active. Huzza for Middlcbu ry! The division question reduced Mr. Baldwin’s vole in the eastern towns, unjustly. He never refused to present any petitions relating to the matter, from citizens of this county, as was alleged by men who knew they were promulgating a base lie at the lime. On the Cowanesque the Log Law issue was preach ed. In Tioga, Blossburg and some other places he was opposed as a temperance man : in short, if the devil has any more lies left, after peddling out such a monstrous stock against Baldwin, it will be a won der. His election over such determined opposition is tile greatest triumph on the ticket. Fellow citi zens, in rc-electing Mr. Baldwin you have net only achieved a victory for Freedom, but have retured to Harrisburg otic of the truest and best men who ever received the suffrages of any people.

On Friday lasi an extensive robbery of government money was discovered in the of fice of the American Express Company No. 62 Broadway, • The Circumstances of the case are as follows r—Ft appears that (he com pany ore constantly receiving from the vari ous government land offices out West sums of money of different amount, which, on their arrival in this city are immediately de livered at the United States Sub-Treasury.— Two boxes, which it was believed contained coin to the amount of 825,000 in etch, were received on Friday morning, from Dubuque, lowa, directed to the Sub-Treasury. They were in apparent good order, sealed and iron bound, but as one of the lids~was a little loose, it attracted the attention of the receiving clerk. On shaking the box his suspicions were im mediately aroused. Instead of the light jin gle of gold, its contents had the dull, heavy sound of lend. Before opening the box. however,’ he informed the President, Mr. Henry Wells, who directed it to be delivered immediately at the Sub-Treasury and who went there to witness its examination. Seve ral of the officers were called in, and in their presence the seal was broken and the lid was raised, when, instead of 825,000 in gold coin, it was found to contain 175 pounds of rifle bullets, and 26 pounds of sheet lead. — The Chief of Police was immediately sent for, and lire matter placed in this hands. No clue could be obtained as to where the rob bery was committed ; but from the extensive arrangements which have been made by the Chief, the perpetrators cannot long elude de tection Two police officers were dispatched in Dubuque, and others were sent from Buf falo to the same place, while the police of the principal towns nnd villages for several hun dred miles aruibnd have been informed of the particulars. —Sunday Herald Reprisals,— The Richmond Whig is op posed to disunion, or anything of that soil, hui cannot refrain from being violently exas pernted'at the way Col. Wheeler’s negroes were stolen in Philadelphia by the Abolition ists. The Whig therefore exhorts the Virgi nians to resort to the system of reprisals, lo force Northern men lo respect ihe rights of Southern slave owners. Mere is whal that journal says : “Citizens of Pennsylvania, no doubt, have a large amount of property, goods, wares, and merchandize, and per hops, some heavy debts wiihin the limits of Virginia. Let the law lay hands upon every particle that con be found in the commonwealth—and let express pro visions be mode that no. officer shall be re quired to swear lo support the Federal Con stitution, where those States are concerned which disregard that instrument. We are against disunion. We much prefer carrying on this sort of system reprisals with our Yan kee brethren. Tnere is plenty of Yankee property in the South at this time lo reim burse us for all the negroes they have stolen from us. One general comprehensive sweep, ing statute in every Southern State will reach the whole of il. Let the Union stand forev er, with the fraternal, cordial feelings which exist in one quarter extending lo the other! Let us of the South come lo love Yankee properly with the same ardor that they love Soul hern property !” Ihe Richmond Whig allows its anger to get the holler of its sense of justice. Because Passmore Williamson and a few Abolitionists steal a Southerner’s negroes, it would have Southerners become thieves lefo, nnd steal the properly of any and every Northern man whereever and whenever it may be found. It is a poor way of punishing negro-stealers by becoming as mean as they are. Return of Dr. Kane. —Few events with in the range of possibility could have pro duced a livelier feeling of public joy than did the announcement yesterday of the safe re turn of the gallant Artie adventurer, Dr. Kane, and his exploring parly, after an ab sence of two years and four months.

The jCo uifpille Cmrutf anticipates serious trouble with (Jits Mormopi, and says: "Buf a Inlle while will'elapse until they will’ pount their, adherents, by hundreds of thousands. And then, if they should choose, fed they have always displayed some willing ness to do, to defy the General Government and its authority, it will be no easy task to reduce them to submission. To convey a force of ten or twelve thousand-troops through a desert filled with Indian foes, will bea-mat ter of no'small difficulty. “That (rouble is brewing in ihal- part o' our domain, cannot be doubted by any who have examined (he subject, in a recent con versation with an officer of high rank in our army, who had served on the frontier, and who i* distinguished in his profession, this subject was referred to. That gentleman an ticipated a contest to which the Indian, fight ing on tne frontier is but child’s play.” The way to avoid all trouble, is for the general Government to follow out its own precedents ; grant to Utah the same liberty of conscience’it gives Kentucky, end resolve itself into a committee of the whole fur the protection of .all, Peculiar Institutions. Ilia nut likely thartfrah will resist the Govern ment while it holds itself ready to do all she requires. Kentucky never dues,. The South never dissolves the Union unless some part of the people of it do or say something she does nut like. Then, of course, nobody ex peels anything else but disolutton. When Utah forms a portion of the Union, she will, no doubt, be very civil so long as she gets all she demands; but the Courier will have to stup talking about her institutions, and the sensible folks must resolve themselves into a police force for catching the runaway wives of their brother patriarchs. Utah will, of course, demand that the agitation of the Polygamy question shall be slopped, and of course all the Union-saving prims will say “amen!” We cannot, for our part, see by what right | the Courier undertakes to discuss the domes- j tic arrangements of its neighbors. We have { every reason to lear that opr Western breth- | ren will be quite displeased with such inter ference iu (heir affairs. It is a manifest vio lation of “squatter sovereigntyand as such, ought to call forth the denuoctalions of (he Democratic party. Are not the squatters of Utah as sovereign as those of Kansas ! and have they not as much right to appropriate to their own use the labor of the masses and as many wives as shall suit their conven ience I 11 one puit of the squatters in Kan sas have a right to take possession of the other, and set them down m iheir list of goods and chattels, why may not lire ruling class m Utah avail ihemselves of ihe labor of the working men, and dispose of the wo men as they see proper ? We should be very much obliged to ibe Louisville Courier if it vyuuld mmd ns own affairs, and leave Ihe domestic, institutions ol Utah to be regulated by those who under stand them. Il cannot be expected Una men who cun sell all th- ir surplus wives and chil dren and put them in their pockets, any day, oan appreciate the difficulties of those gentle men with numerous families that cannul read ily be convened into cash. The position of our Western brethren, is very delicate, and surrounded by many atti cullies of which outside barbarians cun know noihiiig. All harsh language should be avoided, and if people differ wnh them, let them express that difference mildly, in Christian love, not with harsh epithets. No doubt they would have abolished polygamy long ago if it had nut been for the abuse of fanatics like the Courier, ft used lo bu that no Mormon ac knowledged that as port of his creed, but they have been so abused and vilified that now they come boldly out and proclaim mttt defend iheir institution. Just so it used to be. Southern gentlemen talked of abolish ing slavery, bul Northern fanancs begun to talk about it, and they quit. No doubt thev would ha»e been talking about il yet if il had not been for the abuse of inlermeddlers from oihcr Stales. Now, we do not want to see the same scene reenacted towards our other “peculiar insiitulion.” The Louisville Courier must let il alnne —leave it to be disposed of by those who are interested. Is there no crime, or misery, or violence in Louisville, that the Courier must send its sympathies away out lo Salt Lake? Do not its editors know that Aboli tionists of the North have greatly transgres sed in not curing all ihe social evils at home before saying anything about the sms of Kentucky ? And how dare they overlook, or neglect, or talk about anything else than the sins of iheir own city, so long as any such exist ? Will it not be “time enough" for them to talk about Utah, when the Mil lennium comes in Kentucky? Then they should travel regularly across the county, or around by the rivers, and spread the king dom as they go ; and il wil( be a long time before they get to Salt Lake. Let any one reflect a moment on the bad effect of vituperation such as is 100 commonly indulged in by (hose abolitionists who would uproot Ihe very foundations of society in Utah, “lo further iheir own mud schemes of aggrandizement.” Abolitionists like the Cour ier, who would destroy the domestic institu tions of our Western brethren, and involve the land in rapine and ruin, would turn the hearts of the happy and contented wives o( Utah against their liege lords, and the work ing men against the elders who demand so large a portion of their labor lo support the Slate. Suppose thesn should rebel, what would be the condition of society in Utah? Does not the heart sicken at the pictures con jured up ? (Aside. Dear reader, this is positively hard work, and we do wish sosae kind friend would send us some one or all of the many pious defenses ol Slavery and our glorious Union, which have appeared during the last twenty years. By going over and altering s word here and there, we can make It equal ly good as o bulwark for our pel Patriarchal Institution, and it would save us all the (rouble of thinking. Or let any one read any such work, substituting Polygamy for Slavery, Western for Southern brethren, Utah for “the South,” and he will haye one view oj" the case, Put to return, in the meantime.)

Who build such temples 1 Who say so many prayers 1 Who exhibits such untiring zeal and liberality in the cause of religion 1 Like that celebrated individual known as “Rosin the Bow ” they (ravel the country all ; over, and then to all others they go, and move heaven and earth to mafke converts to the faith; and even granting that they may be in ' error about institution, it is our duty to deal gently with them and speak soft ly, if so be we may win them to repentance. Then rememSer that it is their misfortune, and that we should sympathize deeply with them in (heir afflictions. This system e( polygamy, horse-stealing, and general appro priation of other people's goods, was forced l - upon them by Joe Smith and other men from the Eastern States, ,It existed in the com munity before they went to Utah, even in the Northern country at Nouvoo, and now we are holding them responsible, when it is their misfortune, poor fellows, and nol their fault* Let any one reflect upon the trouble it is to live peaceably with one wife, and sympathize with the difficulty of keeping twenty in a 'good humor I No doubt these Christian men : would gladly be rid of the institution, but how is this to be donet That is the ques tion. Some one may answer, “by a law to forbid any man marrying more than one woman but one might as well talk of passing a law in Kentucky forbidding any man to buy or sell more than one woman.— The women ore there, and what is to be done with litem unless they arc married; in the one case, or sold in (lie other. Cannot any one perceive at a glance ibo' necessity under which these chivalrous mctv are placed? These women cannot lake cate of themselves, tmcf of course they must be provided with husbands and masters to take care of (hem. Think of the advantages to these dependents. Have they not, in both instances been brought from lands of heath en darkness into the marvelous light of the gospel ? and was it not the hand of Provi dence which ordered all this for the conver sion of the heathen T There can be no doubt but (he Louisville Courier is a rank infidel 1 sheet, or it would not be talking of Indian' ware to suppress a Bible institution, and be' interfering with the order of Providence in converting the heathen. We recommend it to 1 the prayers of Southern saints, and all Union-saving Christians. Passmore Williamson- A gentleman of this City lately wrotcr to Passmore Williamson, inquiring as to the truth of certain rumors respecting new efforts for his liberation. The following is ihe answer, which has been furnished lor publication by its recipient : ■‘No. 78, Philadelphia County Prison, / ‘Sept. 29, 1855. t "Dear Sir; Your teller of the 27th mst. is now belore me, anu hi reply lo your inqui ry, I may say Dial I contemplate so lunhef legal piocecrtioo,-. «nh leterence lo my •iter ation from this jail, in winch 1 an> now con fined. 1 have now neon Kepi here lor more lhan iwo rmmhs, unc i cun see no prospect of liberation. .am « native, and have al ways been a citizen oi Pennsylvania; ana believing mysell uirociousiy wronged, 1 ap plied lo ihe higlusi nibunui Known lo our laws, but relief lias uen wnhhild. i cun expect Done from he authority that placed me here, without dishonorable submission. — Having been guilty neither of falsehood, dis simulation, nor contumacy, I ora sure mai ,1 is no case tor a degrading capitulation. — Such a course would bring with n a diminu tion of sell-reaped more oppressive than me power now seeking lo crush At the highest auribuie of Slate immuring ma wiiinn these walls. "Accept for yourself, and communicate to oihers who favor me with their consideration,- my most grn'eful acknowledgements. "Respectfully, P. WILLIAMSON." Ui/nng the progress of his memorable at' fair we have repeatedly had occasion to draw attention to the contrast between the" position of Mr. Williamson and that of the man who so long as he is remembered will be infamous as his oppressor. No unprejudiced person can doubt that the outraged man who sits there in prison, suffering calmly and without weakness, this bitter wrong is far more to be envied than the unjust and wicked Judge who flung him into prison, and who rn tnrn must bear forever the brand public loathing, indignation, and contempt. Mr, William son’s letter renders ibis contrast even more palpable. The spirit it breathes is an honor to human nature. Such dignity,such manly resolution, such unbroken serenity and per sistence, would lend a new luster to die names of famous heroes. We need never despair of a State which has 90 noble a sun, —N. Y.
