AMERICAN' STATE CouNiNt..-L-The un
initiated of our citizens were taken 'no . little
by surprise yeSterday morning, by the unusual
number of arrivals iu the Eastern cars. What
could have occasioned this sodden appearance
of so ninny respectable looking gentlemen;
without any special heralding of their coining,
was the subject of Wonder on all hands, and
various were the surmises as to' who and what
they might be. It gradually leaked out how
ever that the "gathering" was nothing else'
than a convocation of the American State
Council, and then the next subject of wonder
by the curious out-siders was, "what are they
going to do?'" nut as the Americans have a
vexatious proneneSs to "know-nothing," when
interrogated as to their purposes, the spirit of
curiosity was forced to feed upon conjecture
while the members withdrew to their secret
conclave. '
Among the prominent members of the Order
present we noticed Gen. Simon Cameron, of
Dauphin; Peter Martin, of Lancaster, late
candidate for Canal Commissioner; and a
host of the lesser lights. The number iu at•
tendance however did not quite amount to - one
hundred.
Of the business transacted we are of course
not able to speak except from rumor. The
action of the Committee of Thirteen at Harris
burg, ou Thurday last, when Thomas Nichol
son was agreed upon, in coginectionth e
Whigs and Republicans, as the candidate for
Canal Commissioner, was discussed, we under
stand, and finally confirmed by ; the Council by
a vote of 63 to 4.
SAVING FUND, PIIILADELPIIIA.r--0111'
readers who have not read with attention the
nature of the SAviNu FUND of the National
Safety Company, which appears amongst our
advertisements, are requested to do so. This
old and well established institution, chartered
in .1841, now has snob a high reputation, that
people who have large sums, often come from
a great distanoe.to put theleiMoney in it so
that they maybe without anxiety, in . relation
to its safety. .This Sevitin, Fuse has been so
prosperous that the directors have been' able
to invest, in the bestseouritios, more than brill
u:titillion of, dollars, for. the heneftt of d ()poi too.
Five per ceto intergst is givon for tuoney,,pnt
in there, and the
,depositor will alwas have : it
paid back in ciOLD.whenever it is, called for,
without the.necessity of Olin ~potice for it
beforehand. .We, understand that very large
sums have been,put in .the Saving Fund by
citizens of Schuylkill county, and that the
numbers who do so are constantly increasing..
This is much better Orin for. people to let
their money to lay idle la,,their,own houses,
subject to loss front fire, robbery and other
accidents which so often happen. , The office,
it will be remembered, is in Walnut street,

FALL. OF SEBASTOPOL!
Thirty Thousand Lives Lost!
...
DESTRUCTION OF THE TOWN
GREAT REJOICINGS IN ENGLAND
The Halifax steamer AMerica, and the Bre
men steamer Washington, both arrived on
Thursday, the latter at Now York. The news
they bring is highly Important. It tolls of
the destruction,of Sehastopol by the Russians,
after a terrible assault by the Allies, in which
they were repeatedly repulsed, but the French
finally effected a lodgment in the
. Malakoff,
when . the Russians evacuated the town, de
stroying everything in their retreat. Tie less
of the Allies is said to be 20,000; the Russians
10,000.
The Russians now occupy the' forts on the
north part of
,the harbor, including Fort Con
stantine, at the mouth of the harbor, the
Central Fort, Fort Catharine, and a number of
powerful batteries.
FALL OF SEBASTOPOL
The Washington brings the important Intel•
ligence of the "Fall of Sebastopol:" On the
6th inst , the allied forces attacked the de
fences of Sebastopol, and the French succeed
ed in gaining possession of the Malakoff. The
English, who 'attempted the Redan, were not
successful. During the night, the Russians
began to sink their ships, blow up their maga
zines, and burn their city, and on the follow
ing morning Sebastopol wag evacuated, and
the communication between the north forts
and the towu•broken off.
f The following telg,graphic despatch, received
..by Lord Pantnure from Gen. Simpson, ap
peared in the English morning journals of the
II th instant: nSehastopol is in possession of
the Allies. The enemy, during the night and
morning, evacuated the south side, lifter ex
plotting their magazines and-setting fire to the
whole of the town. All the men of-war were
burnt during, the night, with the exception
of three steamers, which were plying about
the harbor. The bridge communicating with
the north ride is broken. Gen. Simpson re
grets that the casualities in the attempt on the
Redan were somewhat heavy, but there was no
general officer ]tilled."
Jo a supplement of the Moniteur the follow
ing telegraphic despatch, received by the
French
.government from Gen. :Pelissier op
pears: Karabelnain, the south part of &baste
longer exists. The enemy, perceiving
our solid oectipittitai of the Malakoff, decided
Upon. consutning the Platte after hiving de
stroyed and blown up,by mines nearly Blithe
defences, fliti:ving passed , the night in the
midst - of nit.? 'troops, I can assure you that
eiferYthing In the Knrabelnttia is blown up,
end from what I could see, the saute must be
the casein- frost. of our left. line of attack.
This immense success does' the greatest boner
to our 'troops. Everything is, quiet on the
Tchernaya.
The assault on the Malakedf was at noon of
the Bth inst. The redoubts aud the Retina of
Careening, bay were carried by storm by the
Fretteli soldiers, with admirable intrepidity to
the shouts of Vivo PEmpereur. The Redan of
Careening bay was not tenable, owing to the
heavy fire of artillery which we poured upon
the first occupiers, of that work. ' On behold
ing the Frenbh eagles floating on the Malakoff,
'Gen. de Sulles made two attacks On the Central
Bastion, but. did•: not succeed. The French
troops returned to their. trenches. The losses
were serious,
TUE WAR

united attach of the English, French and Sar•
dinians was made on the Central battery. All
the attacks were made simultaneously with
great spirit and energy; but Which was emi
nently successful was led by General Bosquet
and General McMahon on the Malakoff: Both
the Redan and Central Bastion were at times
in the hands of the storming parties 'So ac
curately did the guns of the Russians cover
these that as soon as the English, had gait e
possession of them it was found impossible to
hold them.
The intelligence of the fall of Sebastopol
was received in London and the provincial
cities with the most estravigant demonstra
tions of joy. At the 'theatres and places of
public amusement the fact was officially an
nounced, when the bands at each place struck
up the National anthems of England and
France.
The life of the Emperor of France has again
been attempted. and the city of Paris is in
great excitement. On the night of the tenth
inst. the emperor's-carriage was fired at,, the
assnssin supposing the Emperor was in it.—
Two pistols were tired, the balls entering the
carriage.
The assassin Was arrested, and his name is
Bellemare,..and. On examination, was found to
be a maniac. lie is undoubtedly mad. He
will not be tried, but be sent to a lunatic hos
pital,
Thu Emperor was to leave on Ttiesday for
the camp at St. Amer to review the troops
destined for the Crimea.
How LONG E WAR HAS LASTED. \ =TIIC war
in Etnope is already two years old. The Rus
sian amba seder left Contantinople on the 22d
of May, 7853, and on the 4th of June the
English and French fleets received orders to
approach the Dardanelles, and they anchored
in. Besike Bay. On the 26th of June the
Em; eror of Russia ordered his army to occupy
the Principalities. - On the 14th of September
two French and two English war steamers,
from the fleet at Besika Bay. went to Constan
tinople. On the 27th the Porte declared war
against Russia, and invited the English and
French fleet to Constantinople. On the 2d of
November the Emperor of Russia declared war
against Turkey. The French declaration of
war was made in March, 1854.
THE FALL OF SEBASTOPOL. has been received
in Canada with much enthusiasm. The news
was
. clonveyed by telegraph ; to Buffalo, and
thence to the towns in Canada. At Toronto
bonfires wore lighted, guns fired, rockets set
off, and the greatest excitement existed. At
Stratford flhgs were hoisted all over the town,
and , thejudg,o on the bench interrupted the
proceedings of court to read the news, which
gas greeted with long continued cheering. At
London there was a general exultation. Bells
were rung, guns fired, and firemen paraded
the streets with bands of music.
THE ENGLISH 11AnvEsm.—The London cor
respondent of .the Philadelphia American,
writing on the 14th ult., says:
"The harvest has been excellent, and no
matter what is said, considerably beyond the
average; it has been got in by, the aid of
splendid weather, in the finest possible Condi
tion. The intelligence that the harvest in the
United States has been unprecedentedly great
has not been thrown away; and shortly large
arrivals of foreign wheat may be expected,
and the price will go down with a hop, skip
and jump. Millers and bakers are alive to
this, and the supporters of prim, do not gain
much by their move, for purchases are of s
very limited kind."
Mn. PURPLE, a member of the Nebraska
Legislature, informed a gentleman at Chicago,
a short time since, something how. members
ate gotten, up in Nebraska: 110 said: "Cum
mings, the Secretary, said to me one morning;
'Purple we, want a member from Burt co.' ,So
