KANSAS OFFICE HOLDERS.—
There are seventeen counties in Kansas,
,for each of which the Legislature has clec.
ted a Probate Judge, a Sheriff; and three
*Commhsidners, to serve for six years.—
The St. -Louis RepUblican says, that they
areinvariably pro-slavery meo. String
fellow, Atchison & Co., fearing that these
officers, if elected by a popular vote in the
different districts, might not be sufficiently
pro-slavery, took the matterinto-their own ,
hands, and have imposed upon
,the people
of the territory officers for six , years to
come.
MALNE ET•FTION.—Au election for
State officers was heldin Maine on Monday.
Returns from 160 towns give the following
vote for Governor :
Morrill, (Republican and Maine Law, ) 29,165
Wells, (Loco and anti-Maine Law,) 26,069
Reed, (Whig,) 6,262
Although Merrill leads the poll, the vote
thiown away on Reed prevents an election
by the people. The Legislature will pro.
bably have a majority of anti•Republioans,
in which events Wells or Reed may be
declared the Governor.

York Springs, Sept. 12,1866.
• IPlalln Spoken Iretunnia:
gCr.Mr. J. Crawford, Editor of the
Protestant American, published at Aber
deen, Miss, is an iiishmau by birth, an
accompliahed scholar and eloquent writer.
He took strong ground a few weeks ago,
in favour of the American party, and
having been violently, : denounced for this
by thti editor of the brew* (Ala.)Gazetto
he has made a response, from which wo
have taken these paragraphs. Many for
eign born citizens mighkread them with
profit and edification,: •
ttYou charge against us that we conduct
a Know Nothing journal. Did it ever
strike you, Sir, as possible, that the prin
ciples we advocate in this paper, and
which you fear will arouse the indigni,
don of yor readers, are the principles we
held mans years before Me Know Noth
ings had an existence P—that' we have
not gone to them, but that they have come
to us l—that from the circumstances of
our foreign birth we knew the force and
necessity of one great vital doctrine of the
American party long before circumstances
forced It upon their attention so strongly
that they cannot avoid it f—they must
meet it and crush it or be crushed by it.
telt would be of considerable advantage
to you. Sir, if relinquishing your present
Quixotic battle against the American
party, you would go and see for yourself
what Popery is whet e she has :he power.
You are now running a muck with 'all
the fury of au exasperated Thug against
Know Nothing news-papers—suppose you
wipe your dripping brow and let your
panting system cool and get a little infor
mation on the subject of Popery with
power in her hands. It will teach you
charity for the opinions of those you op
pose. It will give 'Ton time to practice
your native politnessa ; and you may
cease to call us serf, save, sycophant.
because we choose to set our face like a
flint against the system which enslaves
not the bodies , but worse, the souls and
minds, the hopes. the fears of its votaries.
"But let us look at the charge. , '.What
is the crime T lan Irish Protestant, and
found acting with a pnrty whose leading
object is to abolish the temporal power
of Popery, am therefore crusading against
my own countrymen I Stride of com
mon sense—what ails the man T Did
you expect me, sir, to aid, either with my
pen or voice, a system which hunted my
farherii.to the dungeon and the gibbet ;
which gave them the rack for argument ;
which placed on their legs the iron boot
and drove in wedge after wedge, till the
marrow overran this Popish argument (I) :
which huddlipg women and children into
a house,, applied the torch, andAntught
them, as they ran madly out, on the
[Wade of their iron pikei f With what
party, pray,ithotild Ibe 1 Just where I
am, with the Aniericau ,
party because - it
has raised its mighty , arms and sworn -by
hint that .liveth for ever and ever, that
such scenes shall never be enacted on
American, soil
"What is my crime? That at a time
when hall a million of Roman Catholics
—the blind bole of designing foreign
priests—aro pnuring annually .upon our
shores, I,.an Irish Protestant, when the
press is at my diepoial, should cry, “There
talittgos—nr a litigc t
e •
_yaw
selves while you tari. 1 knew elle
they' 'Greed , 'murdered here
'ice., set the law Of the , land at defiance,
and would obey no law but the law of
the church." This is my crime ! This
my only crime. And for this lam called
slave, sycophant, and alject—and by
whom? An American Proteittant. 'A
man whose ancestors periled ell for free
dom to worship God. HoW' long will
that freedom last when Popery betionies,
numerically, supreme? Not an hour.—
How often would you in Florence visit
the Methodist Chapel, if the Pope could
prevent (and he is only waiting numerical
strength.) Ah, sir, there would be no
chapel there—the thunders of the Vatican
would raze it from turret to foundation
stonejust u soon as it bad subjects enough
to carry out its behests."
Fatal Railroad Accident.
A- melancholy and heart rendering acci
dent- occured on the Northern Central
Railroad on Monday afternoon last. The
two o'clock train from Harrisburg to Bal
timore, when about a mile and a half
south of New Cumberland, rail over a cow
which threw engine and tender, baggage
and mail cars off the track and down an
embankment about fifteen feet. AI r.
Wm. Abel, the fireman, was instantly
killed, cud the engineer, Mr. John Struby,
so badly injured that but meagre hopes
are entertained of his recovery. He was
scalded and burned in a schooking man
ner, and is suffering intensely. No other
persons were seriously hurt, although the
Conductor of the train, Mr. Radcliffe; the
Mail Agent of Adams & Co.'s Express,
Mr. Fail, who were in the mail car, re
ceived slight injuries.
ROBBERIES ON THE PUBLIC WORM*.
In consequence of certain developments.
made a few days ikince, some 29 persona
were arrested on Friday and 'Saturday lest
and commited to the jail of Cambria-coun
ty, charged with stealing iron, &c., from
the line of the Stele works. It is estima
ted that these robberies amount to not less
than 916,000. Coneiderable quantities
have been recovered. Still futherarrests
are to be made. ,
STRANGE SUICIDE.—On Thuriday last,
a young son of Mr. Jackson Montgom
ery, residing inSailsbury township, Lan
caste! ceunty, committed suicide by hang
ing himself in his father's barn. W hat
renders the act strange and the more die
stressing ie the fact, that the boy was only
twelve years of age, and hid always been
a dutiful and obedient child.
BLOODY TRAGEDY IN YEDRAIIKA.—SeIt
eraI persons, some said to be members of
the Nebraska Legislature, recently attemp
ted to oust a squatter named Davisoyho
barricaded his:log house. A battle then
ensued , and firearms were freely used.
A man' from lowa named Goes was kill
ed, another named Purple • had his arm
broken, and two others •were wounded.—
'rho wife and children of Davis, it is re
perted, were killed.
Em: l l94N Cwore.-Thel New York
papers Iwo been inserting that the crops
in Europe, repecially in Germany, were
bath ; The. latest advice, represent that
the harvest **counts. were good= from all
quarters ; that the weather continued pro
pitious ; that the promise of a good harvest
had had the effect' to Mem the price of
bread in England, and that a further reduc
tion was expected. Attempts will be
made to keep up prices, but the abundant
yield of the crops at home and abroad
make such attempts very desperate. ,

_week
later than previous advice', arrived at 2
o'clock this morning.
'rhe main features of her news consist
in
the
of the battle of Tchernaya and
the operations that preceded it. From the'
Mlles! reports, it turns - out to have been
a decided victory for the Allies ! ,
Another Husssati attack figiotc the Allies,
in the. vicinity of - the Cemetery, _woks .aa:
ticipated.
It is announeed•deSnitely • that Oinar
Priam is to take the command in Asia.
Nothing important has been received
from the Baltic Bea or Kin's:
The Battle el Tehernaia.
The reports of General 'Simpson and
Pelissier state that die Russian attack on
Tchernaya was a deliberhte effort to raise
the siege. If they had succeeded in hold
ing the heights, they intended a father at
tack upon the four points. The docu
ments found on .t dead Russian General
clearly indicate this.
Gen. Simpson estimates the Russian
force at 55,000 infantry and 0.000 cavalry,
with 100 guns.
The French had only 12,000 •meta and
four batteries engaged; the Sardinians 4,-
500 men and 24 guns• ' and the : English
only one battery. The Russians advanced
three times With:determined bravery, and
thrice carried the bridge 'crowning the
Heights, but were repulsed. , Their re
treat was covered .by the Russian batteries.
Gen. Pelissier calls the French loss 17
officers killed and 53 wouuded; 172 men
killed. 150 missing, and 1100 wounded.
The Sardinian lints is 250 killed and wows
dad. The Russian loss is 8.000 killed
and 5,000 wounded, and 1.800 wounded
prisoners.
The Ruseians admit greed loses.—
Three of their Generals were killed. The
Russians engaged iu the battle had just
arrived' in the Crimea.
Gen Simpson says the- Redan and , Mala
koff were bombarded on the 17th, with as
much effect as was anticipated. •
The Baltic fleet has been ordered to
withdraw from beton, Cronetadt., The.,.,
disabled gun boats only ere's* yet return
ing home.
Private letters state that the: Russian
loss at Swesborg was not less than 2,000
men. The Russians say that ouly 50 men
were killed, and 1.300 guns remarn in the
same position as before the bombardment,
and that the bat'eriea are wholly unin
jured.
• Gen. Pelletier ielegraphii, ander date of
August 24th, that on the previous night
the French carried the Russian ambus
cade on the glacia of Malakoff. Subse
quently a. body of 500 .Rueeians tried us
retake it, but they were. repulsed with a
loss of three hundred.
Napoleon, in a letter to Gen. Pelissier,
thanking the army for their Tchernaya
victory, says he !poke for a speedy Germ
ination of the siege, and says if Sevasto
pol does not fall he knows by infoema
'tion received that the Russian army ran
not.again sustain the struggle through the
coming -winter.
