CATHOLIC PRIEST MOBBED IN MAINE BY THE KNOW-NOTHINGS. By a dispatch from Ellsworth we learn that the Rev. John Bapst, the Catholic pastor in this city, was on Saturday night tarred and feathered and ridden on a rail, in Ellsworth. Mr. Bapst was on a visit to Ellsworth when the outrage was committed.

He was formerly pastor there, and was there engaged in a controversy about the school question.

The only thing the ruffians say for themselves in extenuation is, that they had previously threatened to tar and feather Mr. Bapst if he came to Ellsworth again.

He has been pastor of the Catholic population in this city a few months. We understand he was bom and educated in Italy. Since he has been here he has done much good among the Catholic population, and has brought about many useful reforms, winning commendation on all hands.—Bangor Mercury, 18 th.

A late number of the Mercury contains a full account of the outrage, which is subjoined:

Mr. Bapst was staying with one of his people at Ellsworth by the name of Kent, whose house is near the Catholic chapel.— *iac* Mr. Kent's house, about 9 o'clock on Sat-

urday evening, was surrounded by a large,,

crowd, of whom some twenty or thirty,' £orce,

mostly young men, entered the house.— jbastopol. They searched from top to bottom for Mr.

Bapst, who had retired to the cellar to keep out of tho way. There they found him, bore him out of doors, ran him down the street, and having got some distance from the house, stripped him of all his clothing except his pantaloons, and in that condition put him astride of a fence rail, and carried him upon it some three or four rods, when the rail broke.

About this time they began to debate what further indignities to inflict, most being in favor of throwing him into the ditch, and leaving him, when a light was seen coming up the street. Some said this was the approach of persons who had provided tar and feathers. The gang broke up into small knots. The light approached and it proved to be the Sheriff of the county, with some assistants, though we do not learn that they were recognized by the victim at the time. In one of these knots of persons he was placed, and his garments thrown over his shoulders, and thus, not recognizing the Sheriff and his party, he was not recognized by them.

The latter, supposing that Mr. Bapst had been murdered by the gang, proceeded further along the street to find his body, if happly life was remaining in it. It was raining violently at the time, and very dark.— The ruffians, as soon as they were rid of the Sheriff, came together again and proceeded down the Mount Desert road to a shipyard. Here they took the pantaloons also from Mr. Bapst's person, rendering him entirely naked. Before taking off his pantaloons, they lifted l.im among them, and he perceived one of them thrusting his hand in his pocket and laying hold of his wallpt., in which was something more than §50. He besought that one not to add robbery to his other violence, but the person took his wallet, nor has Mr. Bapst seen it since. His watch was taken from him at the time that

THE BATTLE ON THE ALVA. The Duke of Newcastle has published a notice, stating that owing to the non-arrival of dispatches, be fears the details of the casualties, fcc., at the recent battle of the Alma, cannot be announced before Monday, the 9th.

A private dispatch says that the English loss at the battle on the Alma, was close to 2,000 men—that of the French was about 1,400, but General Bonet was killed. The Russians numbered 40,000 men, and 100 cannon.

Letters from Vienna, Oct 2, state, reliably, that the reserves of the allies were not brought into action. The English on the left wing, the Turks in the centre, and the French on the right wing, did their work so well that the Russians never had a chance. The news that the English were at first repulsed is not confirmed. At first the retreat of the Russians was in good order, but as soon as the heavy artillery of the fleet (quere?) began to play upon them, they fled precipitately. Menschikoff was chased by some Chasseurs, and only escaped by the fleetness of his horse. The Russian loss is variously estimated at 6,000 to 10,000, the former being probably the more correct. Early in the day, Menschi-

Both Marshal St. Arnaud and Lord Raglan issued orders of the day, praising the conduct of the troops under their command. St. Arnaud informs his men that he expected to lead them as conquerors into Sebastopol on the 3d of Oct., the anniversary of the declaration of war. The Cunard steamer Andes conveyed 300 of the wounded to Constantinople, and the

A PROBLEM SOLVED—THE FATE OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN ASCERTAINED. For a number of years, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, the civilized world has been painfully excited in regard to the unhappy and mysterius fate which had befallen the hardy English navigator, Sir John Franklin, in his exploration of the Polar Seas. His expedition left England 1846, for the Arctic regions, and never returned. The utmost exertions have been made, both in Europe and this country, to ascertain the fate which had befallen him, but, until recently, without success. His wife, with a devotion and zeal almost unparalleled in the annals of female heroism, won for herself an undying immortality by her efforts to that end, and the faltering hope with which she clung to the faith that some trace of him and his men might be discovered. Several expeditons have been sent to the North on a voyage of discovery, but they all returned as barren of information as they went, in regard to the disaster which had befallen him, and the vessels and crews under his command. So shrouded in mystery was the dreadful secret, so vain the exertions to penetrate it that nearly every one had become convinced that it would never be distile

the harbor of Sebastopol is correct. Prussia expresses a willingness to act with Austria.

The news of the loss of the Arctic was taken out by thc steamer Cleopatra, and caused immense sensation in England.

McIIenry's liabilities are half a million sterling, or about $2,500,000. It is supposed the siege artillery of the allies are mounted in battery around Sevastopol. On the 5th the bombardment commenced, and on the 8th the assault was expected. The allied trenches, within 1600 yards of the wall, already mounted fifty guns. Private dispatches say, two breaches had been made on the 6th another dispatch says that no bombarding had been done up to the 8th.—The seven Russian ships sunk in the harbor had their guns and all munitions of war on board, and the remainder of the Russian fleet were held in readiness for sinking, in case of a reverse, and forces aboard, amounting to ten thousand, had been added to the garrison. The allied fleet was comparatively useless, ane the marines had joined the land forces.

The whole country north of Sevastopol, had been evacuated by the allied powers. All the allies reserved had left Varna for the Crimea.

The latest dates from the seat of war contain nothing decisive, and says that no impression had been made on Sebastopol.

Energetic notes from France and England caused Prussia to express a willingness to act with Austria.

The Paris papers estimate the Russian force in tho Crimea at 85,000, and the allies 59,000, including the seamen.

The two Russian Generals taken at Alma, were Genekoff and Ichanoff, both of them wounded, and they have since died

engaged at Alma, considering that number sufficient to defend the position. The Turks bayonetted .ill the wounded Russians at the battle of Alma, which they fell in with, calling out "Sinope," Sinope."

San Robert, the successor of St. Arnaud, is considered an energetic adventurer, but as a taotician he is doubtful. Lord Raglan has taken the command of the army.

The latest dispatch published at St. Petersburg, says nothing was done before Sevastopol up to the 6th.

A dispatch received at Paris, dated Varna the 13th, announces that according to a dispatch from Lord Raglan, the seige works of the allies were so far advanced as to admit of opening fire upon the city in two days.

The advices from Madrid say the elections were progressingquietly, and with advantage to the progressionists.

A GEM FROM KOSSUTII. The humbug of the war against despotism, now waging by France and England, has long since been seen through. It has made these countries the objects of some considerable ridicule and no little animadversion, but we do not know that we have seen anything to equal the following contained in an address from Kossuth to the English people. It has a point and sting in each sentence, which is pecularly Kossuthian, and an earnest eloquence which flavors every thing from that source: "That your government never did mean to reduce the power of Russia, that was clear from the very moment when they began to court thc alliance of Austria. Russia is the corner stone despotism, and Austria is despotism. Imbecility itself must know that despotism never will lend its hand to overthrow its own corner stone.— Your government has never been a serious enemy to Russia. He who pretends to be at war with Russia, and neglects to take Poland by the hand, cannot be serious in his professions of hostility against Russia.— Now, at last, you see from the terms of the contemplated agreement, that the mountain that pretended to grow big with the reduction of Russia's power, brought forth a mouse and the people of England have the satisfaction to have to pay, up to this day, some 300,000,000 of francs to the mid-wives of this joyous delivery."

THE SIGNAL GUN.

Amidst all the terrible incidents attendant upon the destruction of the Arctic, which we have been receiving tliese two days past, there is one that impresses us with a feeling of awe and admiration, and shows all the world that the age of heroes is not altogether gone by. We refer to the young man, whose post of duty throughout all that trying scene was the firing of a signal gun, at intervals, in the hope of attracting the attention of vessels from a distance to the scene of the disaster. While all around him were death and dispair, in bold relief, there he stood (liko hope herself,) with the calm determination of a true hero, discharging gun after gun, until the gallant ship went down beneath the waves. Here was a courage and a manliness, a defiance of death, and an adhesion to duty, we might walk over the most famous battle fields in history to look for and not find. The soldier who braves the king of terrors at the cannon's mouth, is animated by species of courage improvised for the occasion, by the "pomp and circumstances" around him. There can be properly no cowards when men are drawn up in battle array, with drums beating, colors flying, and thoughts of reward and promotion flitting through the brain if a victory is won. Dastards dare anything then under such stimulants. But the bravery of the battlefield is not the bravery which was shown by our young hero of the wreck. The former is a species of unnatural courage—it is of an animal nature but the latter was moral courage of the highest and noblest kind. With his lightened match he seemed to stand on the quarter of that devoted ship, hurling defiance, as it were, in the very jaws of death itself. Others desperately struggling for life he alone seemed to have resolved to demonstrate how a man may die at his post of duly, without dread or fear in the midst of horrors that would make most men cowards. Awfully impressive, indeed—terribly melo-dramatic— was the last scene of all, in which our young hero shone forth, wringing exclamations of admiration even from lips that were buffetting the hugering waters then murmuring for their prey. Stuart Hollins, (for that was his name,) "could not be induced to leave the ship his post was at the gun, from first to last, firing signals he kept firing that gun at intervals till the ship went down. We saw him in the very act of firing as the ucssel disappeared below the waters."

In Greek or Roman days such a man, if he had not awarded him the honors of deification, would have had Senates decreeing him statues and monuments everywhere to commemorate his deeds, that his example might not be lost upon posterity. His conduct is given a new lustre, contrasted with that of the cravens who, only anxious to save their own lives, shut their ears to the shrieks of the helpless women and and children,that weie grappling withhorlors all around and about them. Honor then, eternal honor, to him who went down to death a conqueror of death! That noble ship had many noble spirits on board —but none nobler than he.

The brave man is not he who feels no foar, For that were stupid and irrational But he whose noble soul its fear subdues, And bravely braves thc danger nature shrinks from. [SIIAKSPEARE.

WILL THEY BRAND THEMSELVES WITH INFAMY! There are now, says the Pennsylvanian, in America, millions of men who were either born abroad themselves, or whose parents or grand-parents were born abroad.— Among them are some of the brightest ornaments of the nation, and the most patriotic and devoted of our citizens. But

Nothing-ism, an ineffaceable stain upon their escutcheons which oceans of good deeds cannot wipe out. Well may they ask with anguish, "Are we sworn conspirators against the laws and Constitution of the land? Are we villians of the deepest dye, ignorant, imbicile, and corrupt? Are wc dangerous, unscrupulous, incompetent, designing demagouges, seeking power only to rob the treasures and subvert the liberties of the nation? We are men who first saw the light of heaven in another land, or we are the sons of grandsons of men born in the same land as a Luther, or a Lafayette, or a Hampden, or a Wallacc, or a Tell, or a Carroll."

Millions of those who have aided to develop the resources, expand the greatness and preserve the liberties of the nation, were either born abroad, or are the sons or grandsons of foreigners. But they must all be stricken from the list of eligible candidates for places of profit and trust, through the corrupt machinations of a band of secret oath bound conspirators, and the honors of place given to such creatures as lead in the Buntline crusade.— Cin. Enquirer.

THE CZAR WITH A BEARD.—Napoleon said, "Woe unto Europe, if ever a Czar should arise who wears a beard!" That time has come, as whoever has attentively watched foreign affairs for the last few years is blind to doubt. Perhaps there may not exist those subterranean fires of republicanism, which are just now about to overwhelm monarchies and rotten tyrannies with the burning lava of Democracy but the time has come for a change of some kind.— There is now, and has been for years, a Czar who wears a beard. That Czar is the tyrant Nicholas. Time alone will show whether Napoleon justly predicted woe to those nations who fled before his legions like the caravan before tho sand clouds.

EFFECT OF THE NEW^ THAT SEBA8' TOPOL WAS NOT TAKEN, IN PARIS. PARIS, Oct. 5, 1854.

To say that the disappointment has been great is not to say enough. The moment it was known that an official communica-* tion had been made by the Government, hundreds of persons rushed to the Bourso to get a sight of the precious document, and for nearly an hour a sceue of scrambling* took place, of which it Would be difficult to give an idea. The man who, after having run the gaun let of jostling, of kicks ana thumps, and with his clothes nearly torn from his back, was fortunate enough to get close to the spot wl e:e the offiche was posted* had to be defended by a small body guard of friends while he dictated to about 20 others the text of the dispatch. Idle boys made money by distributing to the loose groups hanging on thc skirts of the close column that besieged the pillar copies which were mostly incorrect, and often fabricated, and the occasion was not lost by the gamin to play off his joke at the expense of the more credulous of thc crowd. At last, however, the real intelligence was known. The first impression was, as have said, even more than grievous disappointment, and for an hour or so a depression ensued in proportion to the extraordinary cxcitement of the last five or six days. This disagreeable feeling gradually diminished. After all there was no disaster to the allied armies recorded. The utmost .was that the glorious event of the capture of Sebastopol had not occurred on the day stated and had not the Tartar exaggerated and the Chancellor of the French Consulate at Bucharest, been too hasty, the news actually given in the dispatches would bo considered favorable, as they show that, notwithstanding the resistance of the enemy, the allied troops were still advancing and tho Russian force diminishing. It is remarked, that our troops have established a. base of operations at Ralaklava, to th© south of Sebastopol, which thus appears to be hemmed in and that, on the north, they were still nearer o*t the Belbeck.

In all this, there is ao cause for anything like despondency, however disagreeable it is to find that the capture of Sebastopol which seemed so certain has not yet been realized. I am informed that some details have reached the War office subsequent to the receipt of the dispatches given above. They are, in substance, that a third battle had taken place, tbat the position of Belbeck has been taken by the allied armies, and that the French and English Commanders had determined to lay regular siege to Sebastopol. It is calculated that thc city itself must fall about the 6th or 7tb for, however hazardous it is to venture on conjectures, I repeat that no serious doubt is entertained of its fall sooner or later.

YOUNG HOLLAND.—It will be recollected that this young man, who was on board the Arctic, continued at his post firing the signal gun until the vessel went down. A correspondent of thc N. Y. Times writing from Washington says:

The father of young Holland still clings to the hope that by some such miracle as saved Capt. Luce, his son has also escaped the perils of the Arctic's wreck. Conversing with him to day, he exclaimed. "My boy is 720^lost I will not give him up. But," he continued, "better a thousand times that he should perish in tho manly discharge of his duty, than have saved a craven life by such cowardice and selfishness as marked the conduct of many of the crew.' That sentiment will find an echo in every manly breast and the proud consciousness that his son went down stand* ing at his post, his head still wreathed by the smoke of the signal gun lie had fired for the last time just before the wreck sank to its gloomy grave, will afford the father's heart no little consolation when he realizes at least that his boy has finished his duties on earth.

BSB? The New York Tribune gives tbfr annexed sketch of Capt. Luce. One of the cars of the evening express train from Albany, on the Hudson River Railroad, last night, contained a small, spare, but vigorous man, with an intensely careworn face, a quick keen eye, small and firm mouth, and a ruddy complexion.— This man, with a blue navy cap upon hia head, and a gold laced coat of the samo color, buttoned up to his throat, was the observed of all observers. Capt. James C. Luce, of the Arctic—fhe man, just as he was when he refused to leave" the post of duty and of honor—the man, as he stood firm upon the deck of his ship, until tho whelming waves swept her from beneath his feet.

IMPORTANT ARREST'OF COCNTERFMTKRS —4,000 IN COUNTERFEIT MONEY CAPTURED. —On Tuesday a posse of the secret oolico that has been organized in Indiana, succeeded in arresting two travelers, just from the East, who had in their possession 40,000 on the City Bank of New Haven. Connecticut. They were arrested, and lodged in jail in La Grange county, but would, upt give their names.
