Flom the 'Washington Milan. The Voice of the Press and the People The spontaneous judgement,of the inde pendent press is the hest evidence of the pro• priety of the coarse of the democracy in the How:it. of Representatives. We, have already load before our 'readers the sentiments of lea. thug opposition papers - warmly approving the firm nes6 and fidelity of the - dehroeracy.— Oar numerous letters breathe the same spirit. Oue of the purest patriots in Now England writes as follows : • "How nobly the .democrats of the House are standing! y They take the first right step by makino• the Kansas issue a test, as they did in 1852 by making the Compromise a test, by which we elected Gen. Pierce." - A: leading democrat - froth - Pennsylvania says : "The course of things at ,Washington, pla ces our party on high grounds r and is greatly strengthening us with the ,people. o The Charleston (S. C.) Mercury says: "CoNnacss.—The last accounts by mail I from Washington give us 'the result of' fifty five ballotings for Speaker. It affords Scarce ly more promise of an oroaitization than the vole of the first day. The democrats have adhered with wise and commendable persis -tertcy-ta their first choice, , leaving it to the Various factions of, the enemies of the admin istration to take the responsibility, of orga rd. ting the House. As there is no doubt they will come to terms in time to make use of all the spare funds in the treasury,, we feel no anxiety as to the, uttitnate solution_ of the tliffi culty.:' 'Somebody Must be sokfand somebody bought: and being satisfied that 'the support 'ers of Mr. Richardson, the democratic candi date, are not in the category, we are content to leave the intriguing and Jog roiling to the , mob of factions that have gained . ptedomi-:! malice in the House. - That there is'one Party ! which is persistent and'true is some proof t lint , there is in all the States a willingness' to up hold the constitution and laws of the coun try. Whether this is the' predominant Will may be determined by the present Congress." - . . Tee Natch-z (Nltssts - sippilFre - e Trader of the 11th says : "This contest, which is likely to prove a -protracted one, is one of the:_tnost striking il lustrations of' the strength and integrity of principle of the democratic party, and of the ' factious character of .the opposition, which has been given in many years. The sterling representatives of the true democracy of the country:, well knowing that they are in a mi nority in the House, and cannot by their own, -unaided strength elect a Speaker of tneir own choice, have stood, and still stand, firmly and inflexibly together, a Maeedonittn- phalanx amid contending factions.. They have uni -ted, and remain united upon their own cho sen champion, scorning alt coalitions, bar gains, • or compromises,. resolved ~ to •incur defeat rather than cornpromit their iotegritv of principle by. any arrangement by which they might create even a suspicion - that they' would sacrifice it - for - any consid eration. They are te , olved to - march to victory or defeat with their , own gin -,"'rioni standard, with all its noble• mottoes waving -over theft, refusing any alliance With any faction the price of whose purchased aid "'would bathe slightest Concessioo . of political - principle. They present v. - Spectacle of mor al-grandeur which has rarely been witnessed in congressional halls. If any alliance is to .I:te made at all, it Must be by the acknowl , ied , ment, on the part of those who shall unite with them in elect log the gentlemen of their choice, that the democratic candidate is the true representativein the contest of the true principles. In the language of a coteropera. ry, they are resolved that Mahotnet shall come to the mountain, if - there is to be any combination at all., "If the, know-nothings *ere half so 'intense ly' national and, patriotic as they profess to be, they would unite in the elevation of'llich unison; who is the only constitutional candi date in the field, and who, if the election were to be decided now 'by the people who ' chose' the present Congress, -- wohl.lba elected by an overwhelming majority: - But, no! their votes are cast chiefly for tree-suilers or fin men who have no 'chance - Whatever of eleetion—Votes which,' if cast for the only sound Candidate, would at once terrninate the at-two:le, Why do net the southern know 'nothings in Congress adopt this puursel— Why, by their, factious opposition to the democracy, do they persist in contributing to the final triumph of a free-soilerl They are not representing the' southern people; anu when the gallent Richardson shall have been defeated by some free-soiler,, the southern know-nothings, who are now proving recre ant to the solemn trust reposed in theta, will ream beuntitut harvest of popular indigna tion. They will receive the ,reward of the unfaithful .servant, and be cast into outer darkness. . They will darken the doors of the Capitol no more." The Boston Post says : - "The position of the democratic members of Congress— the resolution they adopted 'at their first 'caucus—their nomination of- - Mr. -Richardson for'Speaker r and their steady ad herence, to him since--their announcement that their attitude was defined, their candidate presented,. and that-they woukl , neither make nor receive any propositions comprornsing their nominee, their pasty, or their principles —we repeat, the position theie events have given them before the nation is one of great moral power; and commands the admiration I and respect of all Consistent and honorable i politicians. - The record which --bears the names of those gentlemen who have voted for Mr. Richardson will stand as evidence of party - fidelity, high-Mintled devotion to prin ciple, and patient endurance, on the part of those who fill the 'roll, that will secure . to them the confidence and gratitude of the de mocracy of the United States. This AiMion of the democratic members of the House has im parted new confilence, and energy, and pride to their ,political :friends in all quarters; let them continue as they have commenced, and, notwithstanding the present Congress has opened with au anti-democratic majority, we should.not,he surprised to see it -close with democracy in the ascendant." Disbanding of the Sons of Temperance. We clip the following frorri the Pittsburgh Journal: , We claim to be a friend, of temperance, and we have reason to'belieye we - are, a Son of Temperance'in good standing. Tne Division of which wee are a member is "Forty-Two," and we beiteve it is now the only, division within the two cities and zonn ty of A.llegheny which remain in existence, with sufficient vitality to brine a quorum of members into Fort DaQnesne Di vision disbanded within a 'iew weeks, and sold out the furniture and drapery of their Hall to a political Association.. Thus, beg. ging pardon of old Forty-Two, the Temper- ance organization in this county, a benig !taut:awl powerful agency, has dwindled and died away ! -And in place of this we have the miserable Jug Law. in the only public utterenee we have ever ventured on temperance, and that is near sik years ago, we-dared to counsel adherence to the aaencies of mural - .suasion—associations , ) lectures', meetingS!childrens' organizations— itt aid of 'Oa temperence reform. and protes;: ted against legal agencies, prohibitory laws and the like, as calculated to kill off the mor al agencies, and then fail to extinguish in temperance, or restrain the liquor traffic.— How nearly prophetic the counsel and pro test were, the state of facts we have just dis closed in regard to the Sons of Temperance will establish.' The organizations, which- had dune wide spread and incalculable good, having lost their function T laws which are strong enough to make crim inn is of respectable men, and cast into prison Messrs. Bennet, Savage, Shannon, and others, and yet are - .altogether t o o weak to restrict the traffic in liquors, have interposed to leave the Scus of Temper ance nothing to do, anti they have-disban,fet:. The JUG. Law reigns. Thedrunkard buys his bottle instead of his dram, ;aid goes reeling to his doom without let t or hindrance horn any quarter ! This is what we havegained, so far, from the Anti-License Law or, last . year, or, as .it is aptly called, the Jug Law. The Legislature will soon meet. The fate of that vicious law is sealel we hope; and .the sooner it is repealed: the better.. When -that is done, let ~is have a ,sound and strin gent License Law, which proposes regulation of the liquor traffic, and imposes proper !re strictions on the retail vender, •with. proper penalties for violations of the lanr • and then a heavy licence charge, graduated to the abil ity of the dealer and vender to pay. N.. more than that of prohibition ; but enforce a -vigorousißunday - Liquor Law, and leave the rest of temperance reform to moral agencies ; then all , the good possible to human effort in this plan ofreform will be wrought without strife.and passion; imprisoningsardcriminal makings such- - as we. have seen. Such at least are our views long cherished, and, in , deed, not rarely expressed. Fighting Indians with Bioodhonads. correspondent of the N. 0. Picaune gives •an account of•a fight between Sam Jones, - notorious desperado of Texas, and fifteen_of -the Lipan Indians. "He was in his cornfield when they made their appearance, but maim geti to escape with art old German into his cabin. - The Indians soon surrounded the house with hideous, yells. The old man had but little ammunition, and was, oleonrse, `eon- .elatis that every shot would tell. When the Indians woul.l attempt to break in the slight- door he would shoot, and while he was loading the German would keep pointing them, bay, hy , an unloaded ' gun at them through the cravices of the house. They managed in this way until the outside of the house was bristling :with arrows,. - aimed _at them-between the logs and , the 014.1 man's powder,had given out: • At this moment the t Indians retreated, a short distance to hold a conocil. The besieged. availed themselves of the chance to get the assistance of a dozen blood' hounds that were confined in an out bnildinz Linder cover of the two unloaded guns, Mr. Jones liberated the clogs.. Elere I was a reinforceinent the red scamps fwd.:l'ot Calculated upon, and. in 'the twinkling of an :eve, five of the Indians were hors du combat. The balance came to the rescue,. and soon shot all the remainder of their arrows into the iloas., and beat a retreat, bearing their .wounded, .IteatioL , off the dogs with their bows, their 'buckskins in tatters, and blood .streamino• from every one of them.— After the tight the &Id exhibited 'one dead Indian, three (kid dogs, sundry pieces of buckskin, mingled-With clotted masses of In dian flesh, hundreds of arrows, and pieces of bows. _The Influence of Emegration with its Contribution of Wealth to the Country. ~' . A extemporary, expatiating upon the in ftnence of emigration; and its contributions to our wealth, very conclusively answers the slanders of thoie presses, which are continu ally assailing this part of the system of re publicanism. It assumes that if the average in emigrationbe no greater during the next six months than the past, there will be a fall ing off in 1,556 of 180,000 in the number of foreigners arriving on our shores.- Probably 80,000 of those who stay at home are Ger mans, and the rest mostly Irish. If each of these immigrants have consumed or spent $4 in the city of New York, it will make a dif- ference next year to the income of that city, of Borne $700,000. If each be In possession of the average amount which the returns of the port officers show, $BO, it would dimin ish the import of specie into the country by about thirteen and a half millions of dollars t - money which is not even an exchange, but is so much clear addition of wealth. , Setting down the average cost of living as $2 a week to each man, woman and child, which would beg low estimate, and supposing that they at - least earn all they consume, by their labor, we have a loss next year to the the of the country—to the farmers, the grocerE. , , - the 'bidders, the Clothiers, the house owners, the brick•makers, and coal miners, the editors -anti book-Sellers, of seventeen millions. of - dollars. If these estimates be correct,'We have a direct loss nexuyear to tho country, in this decrease of immigratian, of ovet thirty millions of dollars.-' • • Here are facts and figures—not mere idle assertion—worthy of the profooodent consid eration. When opposition journals—and the paper-from which we derive our information is, radically whig—thus frankly publish such overwhelming truths in favor of the benefits of emigration, it 's ridiculous for eithor a po litie-al adventurer or a reverend renegade to mislead the good sense of the people on the subject.—Centrc Watchman. It. VIRGINIAN'S OPINION OF KANSAS.--A correspondent of the Winchester Republican, who emigrated to Kansas from • Frederick county, writes a letter to that paper under date of November sth, ,froth which we take the following extract : "Kansas, according to our humble opinnn, is greatly overrated. Timber is extremely scarce, being found only along creeks, &c., but the soli generally is very prolific. The Territory has been very unhealthy, and the shakes have forced many to sigh for "home ;wain." Kansas will undoubtedly be a free State, for we have twice as many arrivals from the North as from the South. -The lar gest city in Kansas does not contain over 1500 inhabitants, and many of the cities you "read about" exist only in name. Many are re turning, and upon the whole Kansas is a liuntbug.7i THE LATEST FOREIGN NEWS THE WAR. , With the exception of the fact that Kars has fallen by ., starvation, there is nothing im portant from the seat of war. ,No -particu lars are given' of :the surrender of Kars, and there are even some doubts .expressed as to the fact, but thegetterar opinion is,that it is correct. It is stated that Ismail Paella (Gen eral Kmety), with another officer, who 'suc ceeded in eluding the vigilance of the Russian outposts, have effected their escape. When they quitted Kars, General 11Jilliams had been compelled by famine to send a flag of truce to the Russian camp, offering capitulation. The - London Times haS a long article ex tolling the conduct _of the English officers and Turkish garrison; but not treating the suf.- render as a very grievous calamitY;: The Morning Herald, however, spealts of it -as an irrett ievabie loss and a lasting disgrace to the Allies. We quote its remarks: (Front the London 'Morning flerald, Dec.l4.) hasSallen!" .Such is the laconic an nouncement given. yesterday, in the self-sty led government organ, of the, long-expected catastrophe, than which no greater, disgrace has befallen the honor of England , in the course of a war particularly disasterous to her reputation. Often at, we have done so be fore, we must once ag.aiti attempt to impress upon the people of England Atria the vital in terests which they have in the success of ; op. erations against linssia is Asiatic. From one end of that wide continent to another. the fall of Kars, will afface the impression made by the abortive attempt miscalled the destruction of Sebastopol, which, as we have said %thou sand times it would, has left us, so far as the Crimea is concerned, in precisely the same po sition in which we were previous to_ the dis astrous day, to Etigland,..of the Bth Septem ber. To the Asiatic mind Sabastopol•is a dream. The great mass of the population never heard of,it till within a year; but Kars is a traditional name, the turning point of many a bloody conflict; and, as the mouse close to the. eye is larger than ,the camel - afar off, so will what passed under the personal observation, so to say, of the Persian, the Koord, the Circassian, • and the Lesgee, far transcend in importance that which rpachi-3s the ear merely as indistinct , rumor. The • apophthegm— „ Segnius ir:itant ammum dimissa per anrc.4, Qu:krn quae vitnt occoulis subjects fidclibti3 ; ” is as true in modern days is in the time of the Cm..;ars, and was always more applicable to the Asiatic than to the more stubborn West.. ern nations. What, we would ask, is the impression' made by the two events in ques tion on the minds of the people of the East? Summed np in a few words it is this:—=The English, Turks, and French have, with diffi. culty, taken a portion of Sebastopol,Alefended by the Russians - alone; but Russia alone has taken Kars, defended by the English and the Turks." Thus will the balance be struck, and all the boastings of Russia, up to this hour only half believed in Central Asia, will - receive co rmat io:1 strong. 140*, - we shoulil like 'to ktio.v, cart English, troops be now removed front India with safety? Theprestige off our enemy- is restored, and - an impetus given, which . is incalculable, to- all the Rusin trthizes and plots of which our north-west frontier has been the focus - since, aye and be fore, the miserableintrigues of the Affghan war. Now comes the question—Who is to "bear the blame of this to us irretrievable calarnityl We say, the, government•of England and her ambassador at Constantinople. Distinetly, the French have no Asiatic - interests in the issue of the contest now going on, while to England there is the turning- pbint of - the war. , • Franee has no' Indian empire. It was, therefore, emphatically the dutyof the En glish to look to this point ; and how havethey done their duty? Surely when the wretched policy of admitting the Austrians into, the Principalities was conceded, the place for Omar Pasha—who was 'not to be permitted to act upon the Danube-=--was on the eastern frontier of his master's dominions. But we, 'having preve:nted his action at the legitimate seat of war—we transported him and por tion of his troops to Enpatoria, where they 'were paralized. The remainder we took to Balak/ava, where we starved them so effectu ally that 14,000 rations which we ivere cal led on to issue in the autumn shrunk to 4000 in - the - spring, because those who ought to - have received them were dead—dead of neg lect, ill-usage and disease. From Eupatoria, in the spring, we brought to Balaklava Onnar and the remains of the'gallant army that had defied Russia on the Danube, and driven her back upon the Pruth; but it was only to in sult and degrade them, and keep them idle ,in the Valley of Raider, where we mocked at and reproached them, far their compelled inac tion—compelled by us. - For six months every man in Europe and Asia knew that 'the fate of, Kars, gallant and daring as its defender'S' were, depended upon its being relieved and provisioned: 'For six long months did Omar entreat and supplicate permission to.transport his army to Batoarn ; but he was thwarted' and pooh-poohed either by the treachery of our government or, the jealousy of the allied commanders, who could not but know that he was the only man is this war who has shown the capacity Of combining Strategic movements. His en treaties were vain —the game of Bilistria was to be played over again ; and - if the key of the Eastern campaign could not be saved by Turkish' soldiers-and English and Hungarian volunteers, it was to be left to its fate as far as any assistance frcim premiers or ambassadors might be concerned. At last, when it was well known that human aid from was _vain; Omar was told with a sneer that he might' go "cnow".;---and go - he did,:but without the means I:grooving his army. "As it was he enacted wonders; but it was too late. And even if - it were not, care was taken that other Means should be provided to render his efforts ineffectual,-- The Tat kish lean, having served its purpose of a House of Commons clap-trap, was at once interfered with in its application, and Omar's supplies were stopped. Who is an swerable for this? Well, "Kars has fallen," and the campaign of 1855, closes with the dis grace of England for having abandoned those whom . the sword could not subdue to perbili by famine. * * * * The question to put to , Lord Palmerston when parliament meets is a simple but awful demand— " Where is, the honor of England which was to be entrusted to thy keeping'!" GEN Cass has fixed himself at'the"National,” in Wast:ington, the new proprietor of which, Guy, of Baltimore, curiously enough, is a liv ing facsimile of the great Alichi,gander. A guest at the hotel lately astonished the Senator by a demand for a better room. About an hour afterwards, as Gen. Cass was leaving the house for the Senate, - up came the man again, and this time he commenced his remarks by a fami:lar Slap; on the ,shoulder. --L‘Nuw,. I've got yon, old Guy," said' he, ' "and I want you to have me moved ,down a'story or two.— Confound it, I thought I asked you this md,r-, - ning, but it turned ont to be: old, Cass I was speaking to, and be looked• as cross as a bear with a sore head" "Sir," replied the Senator, I with a stern tone, and with a pulverizing glance, "you are evidently liable to be mista ken for you are now talking to Gen. Cass a sec ond time. Good morning, sir," The astonish ed victim rushed to the bar, paid his bill to Mr. Nicolson, and moved to Willard's with ' out delay." An American at Sebastopol (tract of a letter from the Crimea, dated Ist (12th) Nov. from . an American Surgeon in the Russian sery icy, who spent three months in Sebastopol in the most interesting part of the campaign.). "There is little doing now, and as the win ter is about to set in, there will be' necessarily a - suspension of hostilities for the next five months, except a little skirrniShing. The Mlles have the south side of Sebastopol ; . but, after all their Crowing and boasting, they are just where they were twelve months ago, and they are'likelY to pass the winteron the same ground they did the last, they having _utterly failed to convince the ,Russians that they can not hold the Crimea, any • longer, w hich , they hav'e attempted for a year : with powder, and new haVe gone to philosophizing on it through their newspapers. The fact is, that although we brought our garrison out of the city proper, and thereby gai , e the Allies the possession of that side, which they claim ed as &great victory, still it was the best thing the Russians have done - since the war commenced ; in fact it might : be claimed as a victory for them. . They, now occupy better ground than they have ever, done while on the South side, and from which they will,. be able to defend and keep from the possession of the Allies all that part of Sebastopol, which , has, been the point for which they have been striving So . hard, that is,, Harbm That is what they want, and What they can ,not get, so long as the North-side is in the hands of the Russians and how to get them away from there is a point yet to be deter , mined.. "They have made'an awful 'mess of their work here in the Ciimea, and as for taking that place, they are no neater it than they were twelve monihs ago, .as they will find out. As for the Russian -army being ",.cut upend demoralized.". as they would endeavor to,rnake the world believe, the RuSsiatts are in high spirits.andall keen to get a rap at the Allies.
