Magraw, F.-q ,of Lan ' easier, and William D. Boas, Esq , of Har- ! riaburg. PRESIDENT PIERCE. —The junior editor of ; the Kernibcc Journal was at I'arrisburg when President PIERCE delivered bis speech at the Agricultural meeting there. He, although a political enemy oi our Chief Magistrate, ■peaks of him thus " The President is a lar more than ordina rily good speaker; indeed, to be candid, I bave rarely listened to a man who had a more happy mode ol expression in the light kind of eloquence suited to the occasion which I heard him. He ie fine looking, has • mild expressive eye, a benignant smile, and at bottom no doubt, a heart of good and generous impulses." IdV The Washington Union thus describes the personal appearance of Dr. Kane, show iug that hie prolonged tour in the Arctic regions has bad a severe effect upon bis frame ; "Hie gray hairs and futrowed face plainly tell the story of his hardships ana suffer ings. HIS appearance indicates two score and ten; in reaHly he has just entered his 35th year. His form and physique are not what is generally fancied to be in keeping with a dauntless spirit, daring exploits and herculean undertakings. He is below the medium height, with a spare and delicate frame." SUMMING UP THE PESTILENCE. —The editor of tbe Norfolk Beacon says that within a •pace of three months, out of an average pop ulation of sixty thousand, ''every man, wo man and child, (almost without exception,) has been stricken with the fell fever, and about two thousand have been buried—be ing not less than two oul of three of the whites and one oul of three of the whole abiding community of Norfolk, while and black." What a hideous summing up! Beside this, il ie slated tbat one half of the resident phy •ieiant perished, and not less than thirty-six in all, resident and visitant, fell martyrs.— The glory of these men will be truly appre ciated in a more civilized age. when Force and Wrong are not so widely worshipped, but Science and Mercy come iu for a fuller •haro of public eeteem. F.iteiuiueFlmir Mills. —There are sixteen flouring mine, will, eighty-four run of stone, capable of manufacturing about ten thousand barrels of flour per day, at Oswego, N. Y. Tbe facilities for handling grain are exien •ive, the elevating capacity being about thir ty six thousand barrels per hour, and the storing room equal to about two millions, two hundred thousand bushels. Minnesota Legislature,— The St. Paul (Min nesota) Democrat says, that the following is the complexion of the Territorial Legislature: in the Council, 9 Democrats to 5 Republi cans; in the House, 22 Democrats, II Re publicans, and 2 Know-Nolhirigs. A Printer in Luck. —Maritz Lmb, of the Doylestown Morgensttrn, by the death of an vncle in Germany, haa fallen beir to the snug earn of tl 0,000. What on earth will tbe pool printer do with so much money f Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving for what ? What object haa the Executive oftbrs State in appointing a day to be observed m a peculiar manner? Does he desire the citizens of this proud old Com monwealth to lay aside the ordinary duties of rheir respective callings and make it a sea son ot riot and debauch? A day in which the appetite sl.onld be indulged to excess at well spread boards, or are we called upon to look above and beyond the earth and its abundant fruits, to the source from whence we derive not only our own daily food, but also the superabundance which pours a gold en tide into our national coffers? Are we expected to appear in the thronged street and hurry on to sensual gratifications without a thought beyond the hour in which the loud | voice of mirth ring* in our ear ? Thousands will remember that a Christian Executive Mas appointed a day of Thanksgiving, and they will go forth to dishonor instead of re specting the occasion. If ever there was a people called upon lo express devout thanksgiving to the Sovereign Ruler of the Universe, il is the American people. We fear that too many of us are dis posed to vaunt ouiselrei of the gteainess ol our country, without remembering that it has been the constant and uriueasing object ol cute from a superintending Providence from Ihe day of the landing of ihe Pilgrims until the present moment. We rejoice over the greatness of this wide spread Republic, anil without attributing its power and glory to the true source. 1 be setting apart a day of Thanksgiving ie a modern custom in Pennsylvania, and in many parts of ihe country little attention i* yet paid to il. We hope tu see il more wide ly honored, because if properly observed we shall be exalted thereby. There i* much prejudice to overcome before we shall all fall into the custom. We think tbe Agricultural portion of cur people have something to be thankful lor beyond fertile field* arid their own good husbandry. They may plant ihe seed in the rich mold, but unless God shall Avater the perm and keep away the blight and mildew there will be no harvest. Every man in tbe community has a thousand bles sings to acknowledge, and we hope the day set apart for a special recognition of gratitude will be duly honored by ail our people— Westchester Republican. SAVINGS AND DOING* or THE CZAR ALEXAN DER. —The Emperor, who has been making a journey south, via. Moscow, has issued an address to the Russian people, in which he says : "Tbe brave defender* ofSebaslopol have done everything possible for human powor to do. The former and present unfavorable events -1 accept ae Iho inscrutable will of, Providence, v.hich visit* upon Russia heavy hours of trial. But Russia's trials have been j much heavier, and God Almighty ha* always I sent her his benevolent and invisible help. I Let u* therefore, also, now trust in Him. He will defend Russia, the Orthodox, which has ilrswn the sword for a jest cause—the cause of Christendom. lam glad to see the inces sant proofs of tbe readinei-aol every body lo sacrifice family, property, and ihe last drod of blood, for the integrity of the empiie and tha honor of the country. I find comfort and strength in these popular sentiments and as pirations, and with my whole heart united with my brave am! faithful people, 1 shall repeat, confident ol God's help and aid, the words of Alexander the First: " Where there is truth, there is also God !" I remain your well wisher, ALEXANDER." The American Flag " Outraged." —The New Orleans papers have an account of a so-celled outrageonthe American flag, Avhich consisted in the Mexican authorities taking a returned Mexican officer, who ha J been ban ished by Santa Annu, out of an American vessel while she lay at Campeachy, Mexico. The American flag has survived many "out rages," and Ave expect it will still wave in spile of this. Those who make the mot fuss about it* being outraged, are generally the foremost, under ila cover, in act* of ag gression, which, if successful, would destroy all respect for it. The Government ot Ihe United State* has power to protect our flag from outrage, and, conscious of that power and its own rectitude, it need not stand like a blustering bully in a crowd waiting for somebody to knock a chip off his hat. linusiis Election. A despatch from St. Louis says that the Free State party have polled 3000 votes for Ex-Governor Reeder, as a candidate for del egate lo Congress from Kansas. None but actual residents for thirty days were permit ted lo vote at this electiun, which was held on the 9th. The election of Whitfield, the delegate elected at the former election, in which the Free Slate party would not parti cipate, is to be contested. tr A GOOD ENTERPRISE. —Mr. R. Ringler, an enterprising gentleman of Bloomsburg, is now about opening a school in this placo for the instruction of vocal music in all its bran ches. He will teach a series of tAventy-four lessons, which is more than the ordinary term of instruction in singing-schools ; there fore much more can be learned, as Mr. R. is an experienced teacher. The tuition fee is reaonable, and we hope the young people of Bloomsburg and vicinity will embrace the present opportunity of training and improv ing their vocal organs, for it never will be a source uf regret. TJF AFRICAN AFFRAY. —On Sunday evening last a fight loon placo between several color ed men in Rock Street, during which one of the aggressors recened several severe cuts about the head, inflicted by that dangerous weapon—a shovel. He was conveyed to a house near by and properly attended to. CV The one-half of the Pottsville Register and the whole of the Luzerne Union printing establishments are for sale. THE BANNER STATE. —For rascally offioials Ohio seems entitled to bear the palm, BS, in the laat five months, no less than eloven postmaster* have been arretted for depreda tions OR the mails. PRESIDENT LONGSTREET'S LETTER. B9 R PRESIDENT LONOSTRKKT, (he au thor of thia article, was Judge of the Su preme Court of Georgia - after hia conver sion became a traveling Minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was Prin cipal of Emory College in the same State, and is now President of Centenary Col lege in Mississippi. No one should fail to read caTefully and thoughtfully this able and convincing expose of the absurd doctrines of Know-Nothingism. It will be seen that Judge Longslreet, for the sake ol argument, takes for granted the worse charges, which constitute the staple of Know- Noihing literature, and then proves the move ment most foolish, unjust and inexpedient. He addressee himself in this letter more par ticularly to his co-laborers in the Gospel Mmisfj—it may be read, however, wirb in struction by nil. Hear what hesaya: TO THE KNOW-NOTHING PKKACHEKB OF THE METHODIST CHURCH SOUTH. BrtUuen 1 have ooncluded to divide my promised appeal to the Methodist Church in to two parts, and to address the first to you, and the last to are given to debates, envyiugs, wraths, strilcs, backbiting*, whispering, swelling*, tumults." With feigned words they make merchandize of you. They are ashamed even to speak of those things which arc done of them in secret. These be ihe men to whom you have yoked yourselves. I do nol fay a'l your com panions are such; bui I know many of ihem 10 be such and most of ihem to be men of Ihe vrorl l. I vtould withdraw you from them; but if I cannot, and a final separation should lake place between its, remember, if you please, that you made the first move in it. '•But why not quietly enjoy our own opin ions and live in peace ? 1 answer, because your lodges will nol allow me to enjoy my opinions in peace, but upon pain of surren dering the freeman's right of speech ; and be cause with my notion of the moral character and aims of your order, we never can live in peace, while you remain in it, and I re main in the Methodist Church. How "can two walk together except they be agreed?" I am not the only Methodist by hundreds, i( not thousands, who entertain my opinions of your order; and I should suppose, whatever you may think of it; that for their sakes you would abandon it, upon Ihe principle tnat you should do nothing "whereby thy broth• er siiimbleih, or is ollended, or made weak." Your opposition to Catholics and foreigners I deem impolitic and unchristian ; but this will never disturb our peace, if yu will not persecute it in a way dangerous to the peace of the country, enervating to Protestantism, tosteriug to Romanism, paralyzing to Meth odism, humiliating to her mini,try, destracl ing to her membership, encouraging to false hood, smothering to truth, and demoralizing in all its aspects dnd movements. And here I beg you to bear in mind, that it is nol your principles to which 1 object (if a naked con spiracy against two classes of men can be called principles) so much as to your man ner of propagating them. But as 1 cannot hope to wean you from the order, without at least shaking your confidence in your prin ciples, I shall in the first place address myself to ihem. In what I hare to say opon this head, I ahull lake it for grunted that you ill went over to ilia Knuw-Nolhings with good inten tion*. Thatyou eitcerely believe that the Catholics are about to take the country; and that foreigners are about to take it too ; and that handled as it haa been by Whigs and Democrats, it is even now hardly worth hav ing; and that without the interposition of Know-Nothiugiem it will be but a putrid car cass upon any party that shoulders it. lean not reconcile these suppositions with each other; but they must be made to reconcile the profession of your order with sincerity. I will go still farther, and admit for the sake of the argumeul, that every immigrant who comes ir.to the country is a pauper and a Catholic. That the Pope of Rome is fully advised of every election that comes off in this country, from California to Maine, and from Oregon to Florida. Thai every Catho | lie in the land feela himself bun ml to vote ! just as the Pope orders him to vote, in every election that occurs in this country, from that of village constable to that of President of the United States. Let this tissue of ab surdities be admitted; and still I maintain that Knnw-Nothingisn: is not the remedy for die supposed evils;and that if it wete, it is a remedy with which you ehonld have nothing to do. To the proof: Pauper! art annually coming ly multitudes into the country. Very well, and who are PAUPERSI Why, they are POOR PEO PLE. They are not necessarily lazy or dia-, honest. So far from it, they are generally both honeat and industrious. Certainly as honest and indostriouc ae natives in their condition. These, an oppressed, afflicted, down-trodden, over-wrought, enslaved peo ple, seek a shelter and a living in your free country, where -millions of idle capital are only waiting the hands of industry to loom out in all that enriches, adorns, enables and strengthen a nation—these are the people wl< ich your order would drive from our shores, simply because they are poor! You lell us with more candor than self-re spec I, that ihe rich may come without op position, but you will not have your country burdened with paupeis. Willi you the old mmto which you learned from the lips of jour sires and grand sires, "America an asy lum for Ihe oppressed,'-' is changed to Amer ica an asylum lor the oppressor, arid a scourge to ihe oppressed. Your aims are as impolitic as they arc inhuman. Hear die language of one who knew the effec's ol immigration upon country, far better than the wisest man of your order: "A nation recei> ing a Btruy child (a fortiori grown man, j "into i.s bosom again, acquires a real treasure; inas much as it receives in hitn an addition to its population, an accession to the profits of na- I lional industry, and acquisition of capital.— It at the same lime recovers a Inst citizen, and the means for hint to subsist upon. If the exile bring back his industry only, at any rale the profits of industry ate added to the national stock, ft is true -that a source of consumption is 1-keuise superadded, but supposing it to counterbalance the advan tage, their in tin diminution of revenue while the niotal and political strength of the coun try is actually augmented." [Say's Pol. Ecott. Book 11. Chap. X. Page 368.] In this short pa-rage w ill be found the secret of our country's nnparelleled advancement in wealth and greatness. The foreigners who are now flocking to die country are precisely such as have always come to it—precisely such as have contributed so largely to our growtb in agriculture, commerce, manufactures, and Ihe mechanic urts. Some who came hither paupers, when 1 was n boy, died millionaires; many died possessed of l.trge estates, and al most all of them died in easy circumstances. Few, very few comparatively, fell upon the parish. Tltey enriched the country by the whole amount ol their accumulation—by just so much more than it would have possessed without them. Just so will it be with those who are now coming into the country. If the amount expended in support of the helpless , be compared with the amount raised by the industry of tlte sound, for any three years together, the first would be to the last less than one to a thousand. You would fling away the eagles to save cents! You would retard die growth of tbe country a hundred j years to save lands for your children ! upon ! which your children will not be permitted to enter, unless they will consent to commit Ihe keeping of your graves to their Blaves. Splen did statesmen are coming out of the Know- Nothing factory, truly I The last Massachu setts Legi-laiure exhibits to us the fabrics of this inechineiti their highest perfection.— In that body were (ire and -wenty preachers, (one third Methodists.} Christians many, and Know-Nothings almost all. Their acts need no comment. They will remain burnt into the character of the State in lines so deep and gangrenous, that even Ihe offspring of the Hartford rebels and murderers of Bach elder wi'l sicken at the sight ol them. Those Itierarchal Know-Nothing Legislators are your "brethren" in a double sense, and the mirablt sigmtm "thai none but Americans should rule America!" Do jou not blush to frater nize with uch men ' And can you believe that you are favoring your country or your church in espousing their principles! Bin if these papers be a nuisance, whom tlo they afflict. Why Massachusetts and her col leagues in a war upon your constitutional rights ami christian character, Wnlrthese peo ple you could not, as Methodists, harmonize. They drove you away Irom them, by insults and injustice unsufiferable—wept crocodile j tears when they saw you going—promised you s. peaceful parting, and an outfit Irom the . common fund, and no sootier were your backs turned, than they denounced you as schismatics and sinners, cabbaged all the common property, and kept it until the end of seven long years, they were forced to dis gorge a pnrt of it under the wings of the law. Bui as Know Nothings you can harmnntze with them, join them in an onslaught upon Catholics and foreigners who nevet injured you, nay who are your neighbors and friends —and even torn a cold shoulder to a native brother at your door, who protests against your mode of warfare! Yerily if you did not revive Catholic aitti thrse hundred years old to justify your wrath against the church, if you did not at times evince a higher re gard for the sinners of your order than for the Saints of your Church, and chafe at oppo sition to you Irom any quarter. I should re gard yours as the master institution of the world, for leaching men to forgive injuries and love their enemies. I j But however lawful it may be for your con freres to repell the poor from your borders, it |is not lawful for you and me to do it. Muoh less law ful is it for you to complot with sin ners to terrify them from the land, when the ( laws allow them to oorae. 'l'ake care breth ren, f beseech yon, how you practice your Know Nothingism tactics upon this class of God's creatures. They are under this pecu liar care, and he will hold you responsible, if you do not take them under yours likewise. In this vocabulary, "the poor" means lite poor world. So Paul understood it when he collected contributions in one countiy for the poor in another. So Christ leaches in the story of the good Samaritan. "Has not God chosen the poor of this world, in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath prom ised to them that love htm. But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you and draw you before the judgement seata I Do they not blaspheme tne worthy name by which ye are called ? "Blessed be ye poor; for yours is die kingdom of God." "But woe unto you that are rich ! for ye have received your consolation." "Defend the poor and the fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy." "Deliver the poor and needy; rid tbera out of the hands of the wicked." "He that oppreeeeth the poor rc proachea his Maker." "I know that the Loid will maintain the case of the afflicted, and the right of the poor." "Thou shall neither vex a stranger or oppress him." "But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be as one bom among you, and thou (halt love him as thyself." But enough. Your Know Noth ing doctrine is directly the reverse of the Scripture doctrine in regaru to foreigners, poor and rich. You are bound, if need be, logo to the poor of distant lands with the Gospel on your lips, and charity i:: your hearts fur them. You are bound to do good to all men—to feed the hungry, clothe tna naked, and telieve the distressed, no matter where found, or where horn. If this be true, you should rejoice that the poor abroad save you the trouble of going to them by coming to you. Let law makers exclude them if they will; but you have no business quiling your work to hunt up law makers to do it.— Much less have you any business working undercover, with all sons of characters, to cm down all law makers but those who will do it. I repeat it brethren, lake care how yon trifle with this class ol God's creatures. It you have experiments to make in your Know Nothing laboratory, take care that you do not put ihe souls of men iu tbe crucible, | or blow up your own souls. | And what is your remedy for immigrsnt pauperism! Why you will vole for no foreign er, rich or poor, for office. Does this remedy louch the disease, or even the person dis eased! Men come hither from Europe sick, and jour medical colleges are going to cure them, by prescribing the strict regimen to all the sound who have come from the same country, through the first and second gener ations! If the statement of such a case does not shock your understanding, f pray you in mercy to yourselves, and for the honor of Methodi-m, surrender your parchments forth with. You are either gulled, or you pretend to be, and in either case, you wound the character of your church. I ain pained lor die future destiny of our Heaven-blessed country, when I see that the daring author of this iioiusiise should have succeeded so well. Turn, if yon please, to Bascom's sermons, (page 288) and read Ihe letter which pre faces the sermon beginning at that page.— Many of you, with me, heard it preached at the first General Conference of the Metho dist Church, South. We ail admired it, but we did not know the intent with which is was delivered. He explains it in the introductory letter, from which the following is an ex tract:— "The many virtues and christian death of your son, to overlook the noble charity he founded by requesting and obtaining rrom his father twenty thousand dollars, with the addi tion of suitable grounds, for the establishment of an Otphan Asylum in his native city, (Pe tersburg, Va.,) "must be to you sources of consolation beyond any earth oatt o*Ter. The Inflowing thoughts on death may enhance your estimate of this, &c. For these reasons &c., I ask permission, my dear Madam, to dedicate this discourse to you." He had pre viously said, that it was intended to offer cooeolat.oit to the mother's nfHioted bosom, under her then recent bereavement. The father of the noble son is one of the loveli est specimens of the christian's character that I ever aafit. I have it upen credible au thority, that the magnificent donation men tioued by Boscom, is only about double the sum which he gives every year to benevo lent purposes ; and "when lie doelh alms he lets not hi* left hand know what his right hand doeih." He will be offended at this ex posute of his virtues, I know ; but he will pardon it, I trust, when I assure him it is made only to save hi* Church from peril, and her ministry from discredit. That man is a na'itrallzeii foreigner. If that man were a candidate for an office requiring special trust and confidence—if he W9re a candidate for any office—you would vote for the most aban doned profligate in the world in preference to him. Your vows to that effect are regis tered in heaven. Nay, he wa* recently a candidate for a petty office in his city, a> d 1 suppose Methodist Know-Nothings, perhaps preachers, walked round that Asylum and over the consectated grounds to vole for some competitor ol his, at the sight of whom reli gion would start and chatity shriek. " But, have we not a right to vote as we please!" No, gentlemen, you surrendered the right when you joined the Know-Noth ings ; and I am atnazed that you may be sur rendered; for when you did lhat,yoii virtually acknowledged yourself incompetent to advo cate any men or measures. You can advocate the claims of no man, because you do not know that you will be permitted to vote for him yourselves; and rio measures, because you have none- a beauti ful predicament for a freeman to place him self in ! When a preacher Votes, it is to be presumed that he votes consciously and upon principle, but you vote as you are ordered, and onl.v according to a man's birthplace, " Know not to whom ye yield yourselves ser vants to oboy 1 His servant ye are to whom ye obey." " But we love the brother, though we can not vote for the man." You do? What a stupendous exhibition of moral sublimity ? What a beautiful combination of religion and patriotism! It lacks but three things to make it perfect. First, Religion demands that you not only love your brother, but that you do nothing to forestall his love to you. Secondly, Patriotism demands that you al ways vote for the root trustworthy. And thirdly, 'can —not' should refer to conscience, and not to a gratuitous oath. I proceed to the next head ; By c mcession all who come into the country are nut only paupers but Coiholice. Suppose they were Methodist, would you ohjeel?— Certaiuly not. When you would determine every foreigner's privileges to come to the country, by his religion, would you? And do you not perceive that this rule would be practicable if you had all power in your own hands? Why then do you mislead the peo ple by crying out against the influx of Cath olics, as though your party could and would stop it, if they were in the authority ? And why are you doing (hie when confessedly, you do not intend to exclude loreigners of any name ; but only to keep them out of office? You dare hot say that you mean to exclude foreigners altogether, and therefore you play a game in eaoh a way aa to calnh all who with them excluded entirely, without offend ing those who do not. You 'use no officf in your platform,and 'no ingrtM' in your speech ei; and use one, or the other, or neither, as beet suits your purposes. Does this comport with christian sinceri ty 1 But surely, brethren, one short year's fellowship with your new companions has not taught you to hale Catholics—the man. " Oh, no ; we love the men but hale their religion." Say ''love the men, but oppose some articles of their creed," and I am with vou heart and hand. "No man that war re h, entaiigloth himelf with the affairs of thisii'e." The Catholic priest obeys this I precept strictly. But where are you f (Some of you at 'east.) Candidates for this, thai, and the other office—going from beat to beai, and country to country, stumping it for voles—haranguing the multitude amidst thumps snd screams and yells—firing at op position and almost coming to blows—telling vulgar anecdotes—suppressing trutn—en couraging, if not sparingly, falsehood. These things are not done in a corner; and yet if any Bishop, any Elder, any Deacon, any Brother, any Press of our Church, has raised a warning voice against thent, except my poor solitary self aid one older brother, I have yet to learn, who when or where? From the holiest chamber of my soul I lilt a prayer to God to have mercy on us, and save our church from degradation and ruin. Brethren, 1 am not near done with you but 1 must stop. My powers of calm discussion are suspended. My heart and my eyes lake up the cause of my periled Church in utterance which you might ap preciate, but which I cannot expose to the , ridicule of an unfeeling world. A.

I The Collins mail steamship, Baltic, Capt. I Comslock, from Liverpool, arrived at New York on Saturday morning. The Baltic left Liverpool at 3. 16 P.

Oct. 14.—Despatches from Prince J Gortschakoff to Prince Parkiewitch confirm j the news of a simultaneous concen'ric *d- j vance of the All'es from Enpatoria, Baid.ar,! Kartell and K inborn, with the intent of sor-j rounding nml cutting cd' ihe Hessian for- j ces. I Lord Pan mure hs* received intelligence : that Sir Colin Campbell has been sent to En patoria with a considerable lorce of infantry anil artillery. The Russian Governtent has received the . following telegraphic report from Prince Gort- | schakofT:— "CRIMEA, Oct. 13 —The enemy abandon- ; ed, this morning, the valley of the Upper Bel-' bek, and retreated to the heights between j that valley anil that of Baidar. He was in- j duced to retreat by our movements on Hauri i and Albat. The array at Enpatoria is said to have oc cupied three important mountain passes. By accounts of the 13th from the Crimea, the advanced posts of Ihe allies were on the 12th within 5 leagues of Baklchiseral. The Russians were retiring slowly. Everything leads to the belief that Gen. Liprandi intends to defend the line of the Belbek, and to rest 1 upon the corps commanded by Prince Gort [ schakofT. ! The battle which would definitely decide the possession of this ground was expected shortly to take place. Other accounts state that the Russians have surrounded the north eide ol Sebastopol with a chain of new fortifications, ami placed it in a state to support the sick. All the plateaus on the north side, it is said, are covered with redoubts and earthworks, and on the line of I the Bolbek new works consliucted in the form of the Matnelon have been raised. The Allies are extensively engaged in roadmaking and hut building, not only along the plateau of the Chersonese, but all along the Tchernaya line up to Aleu. The line of ■railway has been adopted for tho main road from tialaklava to the camps in the neighbor hood of Sebastopol. THE CAVALRY ENCOUNTER NEAR EUFATORIA. —''A brilliant cavalry engagement 'ook place on Ihe 29ih of September, at Koughill—five leagues Southeast of Eupaloria,—in which the Russian cavalry under Gen. Korf was j completely defeated. Six guns, (three | cannons and three mortars,) twelve caissons, and one field forge, with their horses and harness; 169 prisoners, of whom one is an officer, and 250 horses, fell inio the hands of i Ihe French. The Russians left on the field i | about 50 killed, among them Col. Andreaw- , ski, who has the reputation of being a caval ry officer of great merit. The French lost 6 killed and 29 wounded." The Russian account statas that the Rus sian force concerned in this action was a corps of observation consisting of a regiment of lancers commanded by Gen. Tervelensky. They have instructions to lall back if attach ed by a superior force. General Korf having lost sight of ibe enemy, who were pursuing Tervelensky's lancers, hailed and caused his men to dismount. Not having placed videties in proper order, Korf was surprised by be tween 2000 and 3000 of the French cavalry approaching suddenly on his rear and right flank, and he had neither time to get bis lorce in order, nor to prepare for n combat. The lancers were therefore, compelled to scatter and fall back fighting. Loss, 150 laa cers, a tubaliern officer, six guns and sumo of tbe gunners. Korf has been snptrseded in bis command. ! Bombardment and Capture of Klnbaro. ST. PETERSBURG, Tuesday, Oct. Id.—Tele graph io despatches received by the govern ment announce that on Monday, the Ihth inst., the allies landed at Cape Kinburn, near Ibe Salt Lakes, but their number was not considerable. In the evening, six allied steamers cannonaded the fortress of Kinburn, which successfully replied to their fire, and damaged one steamer. ST. PETEKSBURO. Wednesday, Oct. 17. There has only been a cannonade between the fortress of Kinburn and the allied gun boats ; and the enemy has made no new movement. Kinburn is situated at the ex treme Western point ol a peninsula which forms the Southern shore of the estuary of the Dnieper. On Ihe opposite side is the cel ebrated Oczaknff. The projection of there promontories nnd the shallowness of the wa ter leave only a narrow channel, of less than a mile in width, by which tho Dnieper and the Bug can be reached. The water near Oczakofl and Kinburn ie nowhere more than icur fathoms in depth, and immediately the gulf of the Dnieper is entered it ehoals to three fathoms. About 60 miles east of lite i entrance stands Cherson, at the nead of the delta of the Dnieper, to the north of a wilder ness of marshy islands. The Bug flows into the Gulf of the Dnieper, and about 35 mile* up the Bug is Nicolaie/T, the huildiug yard of the Black Sea fleet. Kinburn and Ocza koff, therefore, form the lowers of the gate which leads to two of Russia's most import ant military towns. There is every reason to believe that Nicolaietl, and atill morn, Cherson, arc the chief granaries of th Rus sian armies, or at least that through tliem on# line of the convoys passes which have so long supplied Sebastopol. It is now evident that the appearance before Odessa was a faint, no doubt intended to draw off froops from On zakoff. The Russians in an attack made upon Kara were repulsed with immense slaughter, 4000 being reported as lying dead under the walls. The loss of the Turks was 700. The Russians, il is said, aro preparing to retreat, having resolved to raise the siege of Kirs. The battle was fought with extraordi nary animosity on the port of the Russians, who confess to only 400 killed. Seve'sl Russian officers of high"rank were killed or wounded, early in the action, which lasted eight hours. On the 24th of Septem ber, five days teforu this event, 4000 meu of Omer Pasha's army, sent to raise the siege of Kara by threatening ihe Russian provinces of Abasia, Mingrelia, lmerilia, Gergia, and Tl flis, (ihe capiial), landed at Sar.claim Kale, in Abasia. Their active operations, howev er, i< is understood will bo much retailed by the lateness of the spason. General Monravielf, Russian, says: "At the beginning the attack was successful, but the posiiuu and numbers of thd enemy forced us to withdraw. Notwithstanding this and a heavy luas, our Ircop* took fourteen banners, and a stand of colors. Tho block ade of Kara is re-established." The Allies have also destroyed two towns, Lanriau and l'tiauagoria, in tho Straits of Kerich. * The Indian eruii! brings the intelligence J that un attempt lias been made on the life of w Sir Henry Ward, the Governor of Ceylon, by ] a Cingalese.
