    ter suffering severe losses and behaving most
creditably under a galling fire. Col. Borton,
commanding officer of the regiment, and
who was foremost in the action, told the
men when they were assembled on parade
next morning, that he never saw heavier fi
ring, (he having been through the Cabul and
Sutleg campaigns in India,) and he felt proud
of his regiment, and.could place dependence
on - them, no matter where they went to. My
comrade sergeant was sergeant to the 9th
regiment—Corloth hope—and gave me a fine
description of what he saw.
"He and a number of men under his com
mand were in one of the most advanced
houses, within a few yards of another house
occupied by Russian soldiers, and one of the
Russian soldiers fired out of a window
at our fellows, and after he fired he said (for
he could speak English) "Take that, you
d—d English," and one of the 9th, regi
ment a wild young Irish fellow, immediate
ly fired out of a window at him in return,
saying, "Take that, you d—d Russian !"
This interchange of compliments continued
for some time until the Russian was wing
ed."
Another Know-Nothing Outrage
The attrocities committed by the know
nothings of Louisville have recently been
feebly imitated by the know-nothings of Sid
ney, Ohio. The following letter appears in
the Ohio statesman of the 22d instant:
SIDNEY, SHELBY COUNTY, OHIO,
August 19, 1855.
DE,III. Last night, about 11 o'clock,
the Catholic frame church of this place was
made a pile of ruins. A keg of powder was
put under the building, with a train scatter
ed along the street, which was fired with
burning shavings. There is no doubt here
that the incendiary deed was committed by
a set of know-nothing rowdies, such as have
just wrought devastation in Louisville.
I trust, for the welfare of our country, that
the better class of the American people will
soon arouse to a proper sense of what this
awful spirit of blind persecution for opinion's
sake is fast leading to. The better class of
know nothings- here appear to look with dis
gag- upon these terrible proceedings; but
who can tell whether they are sincere? The
real friends of religious liberty in our com
munity charge, without reservation, that the
destruction of the Catholic church here is
one of the fruits of the know-nothing cru
sade...
The blowing up of a Catholic church will
do for a commencement. The election in
Ohio takes place on the 9th of October, which
will afford the know-nothings of Sidney an
opportunity of exhibiting their proficiency in
such light crimes as murder and arson, by
way of enforcing their favorite doctrine, that
"none but Americans shall rule America."
While know-nothings are blowing up Cath
olic churches, and shooting and . burning
Catholic men, women, and children, it would
be as well to pause a moment for the purpose
of ascertaining whether any retaliatory steps
have been taken by those who profess that
faith which is now the special object of the
murderous persecution of know-nothingism.
The Norfolk correspondent of the Balti
more American (know-nothing in its pro
clivities) writes as follows:
"The praise of Mr. O'Keefe, the Catholic
pastor of St. Patrick's church, is on the lips
of every one. Protestants as well as Catho
lics join together in paying deserved tribute
to his untiring exertions in nursing and at
tending to the wants of the sick and dying of
every class and persuasion."
Another correspondent of the satne paper
writes as follows:
"There are five Sisters of Charity nursing
at the hospital, and from what you know of
these self-sacrificing and truly pious women
you can readily imagine that the sick lack
no comfort that indefatigable and judicious
attendance can administer. Indeed, by the
establishment of that hospital, and the atten
dance there of the sisters, not only an im
mense amount of suffering has been spared
the poverty-stricken creatures who have been
taken there, but many a life has been saved
for which there would have been no hope
otherwise."
The New York Express, a leading organ
of the know-nothings, bears the following
testimony
"All honor to the noble-hearted women
who stand by the bedsides of the sick and dy
ing in the fever-stricken cities of Norfolk and
Portsmouth !. All honor to Miss Andrews,
and the Sisters of Charity, who have left, or
are leaving, a wholesome atmosphere, to
brave the storm of death there for the sake
of doing good ; but shame—eternal shame—
upon those false Christian professors whose
craven hearts have urged them to seek safety
in flight !"
We will not designate the class of "false
Christians" , justly obnoxious to the censure
of the Express, but we will indulge a faint
hope that the piety, zeal, and self-sacrificing
spirit of Catholic clergymen and Catholic
Sisters of Charity, so beautifully and nobly
displayed throughout the whole of the pre
vailing epidemic in Norfolk and Portsmouth,
may be the means of securing in at least two
cities of the Union the safety of the persons,
dwellings, and churches of Catholic citizens.

Flour Speculations
The Buffalo Republic has an article in the
issue of August 23d, reiterating the truth of
their article of last Spring, that the supply
of breadstuffs was ample for all home demand,
and that every penny charged for flour,over
and above a fair export price, has been so
much taken out of the pockets of the consu
mers for the benefit of -the speculators.—
The Republic says :
"That during the present summer, on the
1,500,000 barrels received by the State of
New York, through her northern borders,
consumers have been SWINDLED OUT OF BE
TWEEN THREE AND FOUR MILLIONS OF DOL
LARS. The produce trade of 1855 has been
an exception to all former years, as well as
all laws regulating all such transactions.—
The law of supply and demand has been
kept completely out of sight, and has had no
More effect than the Fugitive Slave Law in
Canada. The crop of 1854 has been exclu
slyly controlled by a limited number of per
sons who have sent it forward in just such
quantities as they required, and in no greater;
who have held it just as long as they desired,
and no longer, and who have sold when they
could get their price, and stored when they
could not ; just as it suited their own conve
nience. There was an understanding among
the dealers from the commencement. Combi
nations and re-combinations have been for
med for the - purpose of keeping prices up,
and the banks have aided to the fullest extent
in carrying out the plan. That it has proved
successful is notorious, but that much money
Ihas been made out of the oprieration, save by
the farmers, we are not disposed to admit.—
The speculators have overshot the mark and
the anxiety which they have suffered is like
ly to prove their only reward."
The Democratic Party,
Always true to its principles—never devi
ating to the right or the left to accommodate
itself to circumstances—the Democratic par
ty stands as firmly to-day as it did in the
days of Jefferson, of Madison, and of Jack
son. It has not now, it never had, and it
never can have anything to do with section
alism or any other ism. It is a National
party, and stands upon the Constitution which
binds the Union together. It is neither a
slavery party nor an abolition party—but
looking upon the Constitution in the light of
an agreement between States whose climates
and productions differ and whose interests,
so far as labor is concerned, differ also, it
takes the broad ground that the rights of both
North and South should be alike protected.—
Slave:y existed before the Constitution was
formed—it was planted here by the govern
ment of Great Britain, without any agency of
the Colonies; and when the statesmen and
patriots of the country met to form a Consti
tution, it formed a serious question for delib
eration. They settled it—and as they settled
it Democrats wish it to remain. As their
patriotism was undoubted, and their enlight
ened statesmanship proved by the manner in
which they conducted us through a bloody
struggle of seven years, it seems almost im
pious at this day to doubt the wisdom of
their actions, or plot to destroy the fabric
which they reared. Under it we have so far
prospered as no other nation ever .prospered,
and instead of creating sectional quarrels and
becoming embittered against each other, we
should thank God that he has "cast our lots
in pleasant places," and allowed us to become
a "free, sovereign and independent people,"
living under a government of our own choice,
and directly responsible to us. It would be
nothing less than an act of madness in the
people of this country to shut their eyes to
the great blessings which they enjoy under
the 'Constitution, and rush blindly into a sec
tional contest which would subvert the gov
ernment and impose on us a train of evils en
tirely destructive of liberty, happiness and
prosperity ; but which could not confer the
slightest benefit on any one, free or bound.
The Democratic party has never introdu
ced into itscreed any selfish or narrow prin
ciple. It ever has and ever will, while it re
mains true to itself, stand by the Constitu
tion and the country, regardless of the trai
torous plottings of ambitious knaves or the
wild howlings and senseless cant of crazy fa
natics.
Its position at this time, as the only well
organized and formidable antagonist of disu
nion and Know-Nothingism, is almost sub
lime, and we cannot resist the belief that
every true patriot will rally under its broad
banner and aid in defeating the common foe.
What though it were true, as alleged by
Garrison, Hale, Sumner, Fred. Douglass and
others, that the Democratic party is not in
imical to the spread of slavery—how much
better would it be that negro slavery, an al
ready existing institution, should be permit
ted to go where slave labor is useful, than
that free white men should be disfranchised,
stricken down by bloody assassins, and the
very temples of the living God invaded and
levelled to the ground 1
But it is not true that the Democratic par
ty is a slavery party. Its great object and
constant effort has been to leave that institu
tion under the exclusive control of the
local laws of the States in which it
exists, and to free the National government
from any responsibility for it. It proposes
to leave to all the States North and South the
full, free and unmolested enjoyment _of all
the rights and privileges guaranteed to them
by the Constitution—and hence, as negro
slavery is recognized by that instrument, the
Democratic party opposes all the schemes of
abolitionists and fanatics of every sect to har
rass, excite or injure the South on account of
it. This is the extent of its slavery proclivi
ties, and this far sound statesmanship, pure
patriotism and duty to the requirements of
the Constitution, compel it to go.
We believe, as a general thing, that the
principles of the Nebraska-Kansas bill were
endorsed by the Democratic party, and few
statesmen of any eminence will deny the
soundness of those principles; but we should
like to know in what section the Democracy
as a party have sanctioned the outrageous
manner in which armed bands of ruffians
from Missouri attempted to carry the provi
sions of the bill into effect 1 Even in Mis
souri that proceeding has been condemned,
and the Democratic party holds itself entirely
free from any responsibility for acts so re
pugnant to its creed.
What the opponents of Democracy charge
upon it in regard to its slavery sentiments is,
therefore, untrue. Its doctrines are those of
freedom and the Constitution, and if these
cannot wirr, we prefer defeat to victory.—

The War.
No further events of any importance have
occurred in the progress of the war, but there
are copious details of the Sweaborg bombard
ment and the battle on the Tchernaya.
The Russian loss at Sweaborg is reported
at only 40 killed and 160 wounded. The
fortifications were destroyed.
Two British ships had fired on Riga with
out effect. .
The squadron in the White Sea continues
to destroy stores, &c.
The British in the Sea of Azoff have blown
up the sunken Russian ships-of-war.
Affairs before Sebastopol quiet and unchan
(led as well as at Kars.
The Russian loss in the battle on the Tcher
nays, was nearly 4,000 killed and wounded,
and of the allies only 1,000;
The Russians were not pursued across the
river and hold their former position.
Various rumors were current of a new
peace project.
The despatches do not convey a clear idea
of how much of Sweaborg has been destroy
ed, "and of how much remains."
Later estimates may modify these figures.
There is no reliable information on the sub
ject of negotiations. "Private letters" and
"rumors" are busy in circulating reports, ac
cording to which the accession of Spain to
the Western alliance is complete, and the ad
hesion of Denmark and Sweden all.but ratifi
,.
ed.
Austria, according to the same loose au
thority, has already submitted a new project
of peace, and will soon express herself deci
dedly for the allies. Further, there is talk
that the allies will permanently occupy some
portion of the Turkish territory, and will re
construct the map of Italy.
There are other repors still more fanciful,
but all may be safely distrusted.

THE TRIUMPH OF THE FOREIGN PARTY.-
The know-nothings habitually stigmatize
their opponets as the "foreign party," and
hypocritically affect to believe that they are
striving to place the government of the
country in the hands of "Catholics" and "for
eigners." We hope the result of the elec
tion in Alabama, where there are only 7,498
foreigners, and 5,200 Catholics, and 426,514
native-born citizens, will satisfy them that
a goodly number of natives and Protest
ants belong to what they choose to call the
"foreign and Catholic party." In Tennessee,
where there are 5,638 foreigners, 1,400
Catholios, and 756,836 native Protestants ;
a similar lessor. is taught the know nothings.
May we not hope that the know-nothings
will find out that they have been beaten
by native-Americans, and that the people are
against them ?.—Columbus Times.

This decrease in number is attributed to the
short crop of corn lastyear, witch compelled
many takill that otherwise would have kept
