MID EXPOSITOR
THE WAR.
The intelligence received by the Asia, throws
additional tight upon the relative positions of
the belligerents and the prospects of the cam
paign. The Russians, says the telegraphic
despatch, have kept up a constant fire upon
the town of Sebastopol, under cover of which
they were withdrawing their troops and don.
centrating them upon Perekop. This infer
ence, We think. is not wnrranted. As long as
tlib Russian commander intends to defend his
position in the Crimea, he will refrain from
sending detached corps to Perekop. To do so,
would be exceedingly hazardous, as it would
Weaken and jeopardize the forces left behind.
11, hen compelled to yield, he will, if possible,
retreat in a compact body, ns in this will be
his safety. The coneentrated movement of
the Allies upon Simpheropol, forces their ad
versaries to gather their corps around that
capital, and this, it seems to us. is the expla
nation of the march of the Russian troops
from Sebastopol to the north. 'Far from being
a retreat, it is but the pri , paration for battle.
Like the clouds of a tempest. the antagonistic
forces are gradually approaching the heights
of Simpheropi 1, and unless the elements of
nature interfere, a concussion and a catastro
phe are inevitable.
Upon such an issue depends the fate of the
Crimea. The chances of success arc nearly
all on the side of the Allies. Their facilities
of transporting troops, supplies, ammunition
and artillery, hy steam, nt the shortest notice
to any given point, joust tell fearfully upon
the Russians. They can move a corps or an
artillery train in less than one-sixth of the
time required by-their enemy. This advantage
alone, had they not at the same time the
superiority of numbers on their side, would
be quite - sufficient to decide the issue in their
favor. Nevertheless, the Russians seem de
t••rrojned once more to-face their antagonists
in mortal combat, before they yield to his
odds. If beaten, the bloody business will be
transferred to another field—the north coast
of the Black Sea., A dispatch from St. Peters
burg announces that the whale militia has
been ordered to the reinforcement of the army
of the South under General Luders.
The iepulse of the liussians'at Kars is con•
firmed; but the statement of their loss, com•
puted at 7600 by the British Ambassador at
Constantinople, has undergone a modification.
It is now reported to he 2000. The engage
ment, no doubt, has been of a sanguinary
nature—two Turkish redoubts , having been
lost and retaken four times. The British pa
pers assigned the honor of the command to
Gen. Willainson; but it seems that it was a
Hungarian Generals' Kemerty, who led the
Turks and conducted the defence of Kars.
Nicholaief is next threatened by, a visit of
the Allies. The Town had no defences before
the Emperor arrived there, a few weeks ago,
and it is not very probable that the works
commenced since are in an efficient state to
resist bombardment or assault. It would not
be surprising if it shared a similar fate with
Oczakow. Indeed, the time of real trial has
arrived for the Muscovite —North Americau.
• THE ELECTIONS.—The newspapers aro again
filled with " election returns." Five or six
States; within the last week, held their. State
elections. Considering that more than half a
million.of voters have cast their ballots in that
time, the elections have been •very peaceably
and quietly, conducted. Wilh the exception
of New Orleans, where there'appears to havo
been a•row, no disturbance arising from poli
tics has occurred, the killing of .a man in Al
bany, on eleetion day, being the. result of a
pt ivate feud of long standing. This peaceable
termination of an exciting contest -is the best
evidence of the people's capacity for self-go
vernment.. •
Oua BUILDING MATEUIALS.—Yery desi
rable and durable buildings are now being
constructed, in the West and in New York
State, the walls of which aro composed of
stone cutter's P palls or chips, coarse gravel,
sand and lime, mixed into_ a mortar, at the
rate of ono part of lime to.eightparta
,of the
other ingredients. Moveable mouldss are- sot
to form the wells, and the' mixture 'shoveled
in and left to harden. and then theimould Is
raised ter another course. Wooden frames
Are inserted as the work progresses„for doors
and windows ;• and it seems that stone caps
are hot required,' since the whole mass hard
etis into a sort of tirtifloial.stone. '

THIRD BUIDGE GONE ON THE PACIFIC
RAILROAD.—FIltillity seems to attend this road.
The terrible loss of life and the large number
of wounded by the falling of the Gasconade
bridge had scarcely been reported to the city
before a train was despatched to the relief
of the sufferers, By the earnest; energetic,
efforts of a. few brave men, who rethained at
the•scene of disaster, the sufferers were re
lieved, and the dead were taken out from the
wreck of cars.. Scarcely, however had the
mournful- procession bearing the mutilated
bodies proceeded half way on, its return,
when, on reaehing the bridge at Bamff creek,
amidst the darkness of night and the horrors
attending such a progress, when that also
was swept away by the flood just as the un
injured. hail passed over, and whitel, the cars
contain ng the wounded were in the act of
going upon the frail structure. A wonderful
Providence seemed to have protected the suit' ,
erers. The tide carried every thing before it
—amid the storm and rushing of the torrent,
tbd communication between the two banks
wns 'mit off—and thus the severed train stood
.without the possibility of proceeding. Those
passengers who had crossed, however, came
on to the next depot and reached this city on
Friday Might. The dead and wounded were
ferried over to Washington and then placed
on the cars again, and finally reached St.
Louis on Saturday evening about 6 o'clock.,__,C;
To day we have to record another calamity ,
rind another disaster to this unfortunate rail
road. The bridge•of the Moreau, four miles
this side of Jefferson% gave way on Friday
evening, and that structure also is now a mass
of broken fragments. This is said to have
been the only completed bridge on the whole
line. Not one has slood the test of a flood
tide—not one but has endangered to a great
extent human life—while a single span of a
careless arch has hurried twenty eight of our
citizens into eternity.—Sl Lout's Lem.
,GASMNAPE BRIDGE PISASTRIt —We have at
length n full report of the dead and wounded
by the late Imrel disaster on the St. Louis
Pacific Railway ; and the totals are, dead 30,
wounded 70, or 100 in all.
The Rev. Dr., 'Bullard, one of the victims
of the Gasconade bridge disaster, has been
buried at St. Louis with great demonstrations
of respect. He was the pastor of the first
Presbyterian church of that city, the congre
gation of which had just finished the erection
of a handsome now church edifice. It had
only been dedicated two weeks previous to
the calamity. The obsequies of Dr. Bullard
took place in the church-on the sth inst., when
an immense concourse of people thronged. in
and about it, including the clergy and many
leading citizens. The. interior, was heavily.
draped in mourning, and the scene was sol
emn and impressive - By the side of'Dr. Bul
lards coffin were placed those of two other
victims of the same accident, one containing
the body of IV L. Chappell, deacon of the
rst Presbyterian church, and the other that
of Mr. J. A Ross, an officer of another Pres
byterian church.
NEW AND DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT —Sev
eral persons have been arrested in Philadel
phia, for attempting to pass counterfeit $5
notes on the Mechanics' Bank of Philadelphia.
These spurious notes are so well executed as
to be liable to deceive the best judges of, paper
money ; but may be detected by two or three
imperfections about them Most prominent
among these defects is the margin. In the
genuine notes a fine lino runs beneath the bor
der very close to the latter; the line is drawn
with mathematical precision, rind is very close
to the border. In the imitation the linej-is
further'from the margin, and is, tnorepver not
precitiely 'straight. The Vignette in the spa
rious note is slightly blurred, as in the word
Bank." where it ocourrs in dttrman text in
the body of the note. In the genuine note, in
the view of the banking house at the end of
the plate there is a fine line which runs along
on a line with the caps of the Columns imme
diately under the architrave.. This line is
blurred over in the 'counterfeit, Or is entirel,y
wanting. g

The mail from Salt Lake settlements has at
rivtd at Independence, Mo. after a trip of 30
days Provissions were reported to be scarce
at Salt Lake city. The Mormon emigrant
trains were arriving daily in good condition.
Owing to the danger from the Indians in the
mountains, and to prevent white men froM
furnishing them with arms and amunition,
the traders in all that country are ordered to
Fort Laramie, to reside there during the
winter.
Gen. Harney intended going into winter
qunrters soon on White river. Considerable
enow had fallen in the mountains, and the ice
in the Platte was seine ten or twelve inches
thick. Plenty of water and grass on the route
in. The party brought in three ppssengers.
The Indians are considered very dangerous
on the route. This party traveled without
an escort.
to reinforce (3( n. Harney, have been ordered
back to Fort Leavenworth, where they will re
main during the winter. It is said that Gen.
Harney will spend the winter in the States—
he elements on White river being too severe
or his health.
I Wil —Ex Governor Reader was received at
A*Zars, on his arrival at Philipsburg from
Philadelphia to-day, by a very great assem
blage the people of Easton and the neigh
borhood, who were there' to greet him with a
hearty welcome borne, and an approval of his
course iu the difficult affairs with which ho
has been associated in Kansas. Ile was es
coiled by an immense concourse of citizens,
with music, to Connor's Hotel, where he was
received in a short address by Geo. W Yates,
Esq., after which the Governor delivered an
impressive speech, whjch was listened to with
profound attention. Ile gave a rapid hut lu
minous history of the whole of the Kansas
affair, explained all seeming inconsistencies in
his course, and avowed his fixed detertninatioti
to stand by, at all hazards and through all
consequences, the platform of principles adopt
ed by the Free State party of Kansas. Ho
closed amid the earnest
.response of cordial
agreement on the part of 'his bearers.
SEDUCTION CASE.—The Pittsburg Dispatch
of IVednesday morning says:--- , A good deal of
excitement exists in certain circles of our city,
in consequence of the leaking out, within a
few days, seduction and abandonment-..
The parties were at one time residents of this
city; but the father of the lady, formerly a
banker here, of some notoriety, is now engag
ed in the same 'business in California. The
seducer, now a Lieutenant in the 11. S. Army,
is a younger son of an ox-postmaster of this
city, now keeper of , a-hotel, in Philadelphia.
The' unfortunate girl is said to have been re•
siding at the hotel of the seducer's father at
the time of her ruin. We understand that
the young man is under heavy bail to answer
fur the offence.'
LARGE GRAIN PUREIIASES.—One of the most
extensive'graiu operators • (says the Chicago
Times has been purchasing wheat for the past
six days at the rate of about 100,000 bushels a
day, and has already paid out some $160.000
per day. The purchases are made at about
1 48a $1 60 per bushel. It is supposed the
purchases are made for Messrs Grinnell, Mio•
turn & Co., New York. who are buying on for
eign account. The magnitude of these oper
ations by a single firm will give some idea of
the extent and value of the movements in pro
duce in this city.,

The arrival of the Asia on Wednesday morn-,
ing places us in receipt of three days' later
newA from Europe. In the Crimea the French
and Sardinians were advancing from the line
of the Chernava on the valley of Baidae ; and
on the 13th ult. the French outposts were
said to be within nine miles of Bakshiserai,
and close upon positions where, if anywhere,
the Russians were expected to make a stand
To the line. 4 of thiltAllies the Russians opposed
thirteen infantryllvissions—one on the north

chit fly against the Malakoff and the French
quarters west of the Karabelnoya ravine. En
glish correspondence of the. 12th supposed, in
the face of this fire, tliot the Russians were
retiring on Perekop. A Russian dispatch
states that on the 22d the Allies advanced
from - Eupatoria toward Toulet, forty thousand
strong, but retired behind Aktntshi on the 23d,
finding themselves flanked by linssian lancers.
The entire Russian militia had been ordered
to reinforce the army of south. Two liners,
sixteen frigates and a number of gun-boats
had entered the Dnieper and, the Czar had
gone from Nikolnieff tb Elizabetgorod, Prep•
nrations were being Made for 'knottier levy of
recruits, and prayers were offered at St. Pe
tersburg for the Emperors safe return from
the Crimea. Florence Nightingale was again
in Sebastopol, and the hero of the Redan, Col.
(now General) Wyndam, was at the head of
the' Fourth division. A million of shot and
cartridges and half a million pounds of pow
der was found by the Allies in the south side
of Sebastopol. Their land forces, including
the sick, amounted to two hundred and ten
thousand men. At tint assault on Kars, the
Russian loss was 2,000 men. The Turks lost
and retook two of tbeir redoubts four times
They were commanded by a Hungarian.
CALIFORNIA AND OREGON.
