POSSIBLE WAR WITH PRUSSIA.

The most important intelligence by the Arabia is that which relates to the position of the German Powers, and the possibility of Prussia taking a belligerent attitude. JWis correspondents of the London Times say that the idea that the French are destined to have a campaign this winter on the Rhine, against Prussia, i3 becoming Jmore general and more accredited every day in some of the highest politiical circles. It is considered impossible that the tergiversations of that Power can much longer be tolerated, and the objcct of the establishment, cf the

Camp of the North, as indicated when it was first formed appears to be the real one after all. What effect the fall af Sebastipol before the winter seaon sets in would produce on the policy af that dishonest government, it is difficult to say. It would perhaps, force it to declare itself frankly on side of the allies but it is better to be prepared for all emergencies. The notes that have recently passed between France and Prussia are, it appears, very strong and very decided. They are, indeed, of that kind which preccde at no great interval & suspension of all friendly relations whatever, if not a declaration of hostilites.

In the event af a breach, leading to hostilities between Austria and Prussia, France and England would, of course become involved. That such a condition as this is imminent appears to be conceded. The Vienna correspondent of the London Chronicle, writing Oct. 15., says that those who are necessarily well informed in matters of diplomacy assures us that the relations between Austria and Prussia are on the eve of an absolute rupture.

It is not thought possible that their respective ambassadors at Vienna and St. Petersburgh can remain much longer at their poets. This state of things has long been foreseen and I may add also, duly prepared for by both these governments. Indeed, a war between Austria and Prussia 'has become inevitable. For many months past it has only been a question of time and relative convenience."

Prussia has, from the beginning, shown a strong proclivity towards Russia and an equally strong disinclination to cooperate with the Western Powers. Should she openly declare against Austria, it would be the cause of so far strengthening the Czar that the end of the war would be problematical.

LAMERTINE AND TURKEY.—The Paris correspondent of the ^iow ork Herald thus writes: "The poet Lamartine in his history of Turkey, the two first volumes of which have just appeared, is also smitten with admiration for Islamism. Inspired with enthusiaius for those two collossal figures in its history—Mohammed and Tamerlane—he not only tasks his ingenuity to the utmost to prove that the prophet was not an imposter, but he even invests with the sanctity of religious apostle, that monster, Tamerlane, who ravaged India, destroying nations on his route, and building pyramid: of Persian skulls who, after a life filled with prodigies of cruelty, died quietly in his bed, and after his death, and after the execrations of centuries, has been lucky enough to have M. Lamartine plead extenuating cir-cumstances-in his favor! Alexander had no motive but to dazzle posterity Ctcsar none but empire Gengis none but space Napoleon none but glory TamerlaLe, like Charlcmange, of the Tartars, nothing was wanting for him but time!" Are you surprised, after this, at Lamertine's portrait of Robespierre, or at his painting in soft rose color some of the bloodiest scenes in the first French Revolutions?"

IS THIS SO.

The following from the St. Louis Republican in relation to the recent disaster on the Rock Island Railroad, is being reproduced in our exchanges. If the facts are as stated, they present a case for the Grand Jury. If not, they should be promptly contradicted by the management of the road, or travel will avoid a road where accidents are produced by such recklessness. We believe the story to be false at all events wc hope it is:—

The train was running at the rate of thirty miles an hour—the engine under full head of steam—the running gear all in good order—a horse being on thetrack, the Engineer, to gratify a fiendish and malignant spirit in torturing the animal, by pursuing him and throwing him off the track with the "cow-catcher," found tho horse was not to be distanced &o easily, but kept on his course until ho reached a bridge here the horse stumbled no planks were laid across the sleepers he fell headlong through the timbers and lodged, with the hind legs and part of tho body upward.— In this position the valiant Engineer came upon him. The cow-catcher, when it struck the horse broke and bent'down, and instantly the locomotive was thrown off the embankment—the baggage cars leaped upon one another and were broken to pieces.

The locomotive, in its decent, had made a complete somerset one of the passenger cars, full of human beings was precipitated down the bank and fell upon the engine the scalding steam at once filled the car, the passengers were in contact with it, and such a scene was presented as beggars all description. The flesh was pealed from the 1'mbs—eyes protruded from the sockets —the flush of a man's hand found sticking to the side of the car—all who were in that car have either died or suffered so horribly that death will be a relief to them. The shrieks of the wounded and dying went up I ic the spirit of agony ejid despair.

THE HOSTILE FLEETTS IN THE PACIFIC. The Alii California furnishes the following relative to the strength and movements of the allied and Russian fleets in the North Pacific:

From a very creditable source, we learn that the combined English and French fleets are expected to arrive at this port between the 1st and 15th of next month. At the time the Russian squadron disappeared from the china seas, it was supposed they had gone to the Russian Pacific coast, and taken refuge in the harbor of Petropoloski. The Dina, Aurora, and another Russian vessel are also supposed to have gone to to that port and should such be the case, the whole Russian force would amount to seven vessels of war besides several of the company ships, which are armed. In addition to this large fleet, the harbor of Petropoloski is strongly fortified. There is reason to believe, in addition to the number of Russan vessels just mentioned, there are two other ships in ths harbor, which would make a total of nine vessels of war.

The combined English and French squadrons consist of an English steamer, a fifty gun frigate, a forty gun ship and a corvette and a French sixty-four gun frigate, another of forty guns, a twenty gun brig, and another vessel the calibre not known the whole under the command of Admiral Price.

When"the combined squadrons arrive at Petropoliski, if the season has not advanced too far and fogs do not prevent, a general naval battle will most probably be fought the result of-wbich will be known on arrival of the English and French fleets at this port, which, as stated, will probably be between the 1st and 15th of October.

The Anglo-French squadron has been weakened by detaching the Amphitrite and L'Artemise as a protection for this harbor.

In consideration of the value of the Allie's commerce with this port, the two vessels just named have been ordered to cruise off the harbor, and to watch and guard their respective flags against molestation cither by privateers or Russian vessels of war should they have the hardihood to venture in this direction. Before their arrival in here there was much anxiety on the part of our English and French merchants, on account of the exposure their respective vessels were subject to going in and out of this port.

SUNKEN SHIPS.—It appears that the ships which the Russians sent to the bottom in the harbor ofSebastopol, were not of the allied fleet, as wc had suspicion might turn out to be the case. Their names and armament are stated as follows:—The Iloly Trinity, 120 Rostilaff, 84 Sisepoli, 84 gun frigate Zagoodieh, 84 Ooriel, 80 Silistne, 80 Kooleyche, 40. These ships, with one exception, had all their rigging standing, all their guns and stores of every description on board. Parts of their hulls are visible, but the masts and rigging are now cut away.

Fires were observed raging in the heart ot the town, and it was conjectured that the Russian expedient of blowing and^ burning up rather than surrendering a city, was about being put in operation. The Polish deserters stated that such was tho course decided upon.

A SCENE ONLRHE ARCTIC. Mr. Doraian, the third officer on the Arctic, and the only one who behaved well, in a letter to the father of young Holland, gives the following description of some of the last scents on board the sinking vessel.

I rcccollect that, about an hour before the ship sunk, I was hurridly searching for spikes to help to form a raft.

I had just passed through the saloon on the sofas were men who had fainted—and there were many of them too —the ladies were in little groups, clasped together, and they seemed to me to be strangely quiet and resigned, As I emerged from the saloon, the scene that presented itself was ono I hope never to see again, the passengers had broken up the bar the liquors were flowing down the scuppers. Here and there were strong stout looking men on their knees, in the attitude of prayer and others, when asked to do anything, were immovable, perfectly stupefied.

A HOPE LEFT.—Sir John Franklin's expedition it will be remembered, consisted of two ships—the Eurebus and Terror. The Philapclphia Inquirer is of opinion that the remains of all the property found thus far belonged to the crew of the Eurebus, Sir John Franklin and that not an article belonging to any member of the crew of the Terror, Capt. Crozier, has yet been discovered. It is probable, therefore, it says, that the two ships seperated, and and that either the crew of the Terror are still alive unable to escape, or have perished in the sea north of our continent. It should also be observed that the Indians, in their accounts, speak of a ship not of ships, in connexion with the voyagers who were seen by them. The hope of a aingle survivor is of course faint,but let us cherish it to the last.

FEARFUL EFFECTS OF THE MIXIE RIFLE The immense superiority of the Minie rifle and bullet, not only over the common musket, but even over the common rifle, was incontestibly proved at the battle of the Alma. Many of our fellows were badly wounded but more of the Russians were so.

The effect on the Russians judging from their dead, seemed awful. When it struck it broke and tore all before it. Some of their wounded told us that men were wounded with the Minie bullets after they passed through the bodys of their comrades. The immense mfijority of the enemy were wounded through the head, generally struck about or under the chin, for the men fired upwards as they ascended tne hill.

The common bullet, at such a range would have done no great harm, but here the balls had come out through the top of the skull, rending the bone as if done with a hatchet. The wound^erc awful.

A STATESMAN ON KNOW NOTHING ISM. Henry A. Wise of Virginia, has written a letter declaring his opinions in respect to the order of Know Nothings. It was called out by a resolution of a democratic committee of Norfolk county, inviting tho3e who are spoken of as nominees for the office of GoYenor to say whether or not they are not members of the Know Knothing organization. We append a couple of paragraphs as samples of the whole, letter. They are as follows:

"No, no, no—there is not a reason all these complaints which is not satisfied by cur laws as they exist, and not an error which may not be corrected by the proper application of the lawful authority at our command without resorting to the extraordinary, extra-judicial, revolutionary, antiAmerican plan)of a secret society of intolerance and proscription. "I belong, to a secret society, but for no political purpose. I am a native Virginian, intus et in cute, a Virginian my ancestors on both sides for 200 years were citizens of this country and State—half English and half Scotch. I am a Protestant by birth, by baptism, by intellectual belief, and by education and by adoption. I am an American in every fibre, and in feeling an American yet in every character, in every relation, in every sense, with all my head, and all my heart, and all my might, I protest against this secret organization of Native Americans and of Protestants to proscribe Roman Catholics and naturalized citizens."

These are patriotic sentiments of a true American. With the single exception of Mr. Clayton, of Deleware, we have heard of no aminent man in the country who has given countenance to Know Nothingism. Even Mr. Seward, infected as he is with most of the isms of the day, cannot tolerate the secret political order.—Sentinel.

jtSTln firing a salute in honor of the anniversary of American independance, on the 4th of July last, from the British ship Encounter, at Shanghai, a sailor named Charles Lyne lost his right arm. Upon hearing of the accident the officers and men of the American ships Susquehanna and Vaadalia made up the sum of j£283 (about $1,400) and presented it to the British seaman. Capt. O'Callagan, of the Encounter in acknowledging the recceipt of the subscription in behalf of the wouded seaman, says:

Allow me, sir, also, to express my own feelings on this occasion, which are, that I see in this token of sympathy, not merely an act of charity, but one which is evidence of a sentiment of good will and kindly feeling between our respective nations. Such it has been Liy good fortune ever to find where the service has brought me in contact with the navy and people of the United States of America, and I cannot refrain from declaring my own hope and belief, that with those capable of such liberality and consideration' {is it is in this instance my duty to acknowledge, 8 more ox tended intercourse will but tend to improve those feelings which exist no less to the honor than the advantage of the two countries.

IIORRIBIE CONDITION OF THE WOUNDED AT THE BATTLE OF THE ALMA.—The correspondent of the London Timea speaks as follows of the terrible sufferings of the wounded in the battle of the Alma, who were placed on board the vessel Colorado.

He says: "This vessel left the Crimea on the morning of the 24. Wounded men were being placed on board two days before she sailed, and when she weighed anchor she carried the followiug numbers: 27 wounded officers, 422 wounded soldiers, and 104 Russian prisoners— in all 553 souls.

About half of the wounded had received surgical assistance before they were put on board. To supply the wants of this mass of misery were four medical men, one of whom was the surgeon of the ship—sufficiently employed in looking after the crew, who at this placo and season are seldom free fronm sickness. The ship was literally covered with prostrate forms, so as to be almost unmanagable. The officers could not find their servants, and the run was made at hazard. The vessel was at sea 12 hours longer through this mischance.

The worst cases were placed on the upper deck, which in a day or two became a mass of putridity. The neglected gunshot wounds bred magots, which crawled in every direction.—The putrid animal matter caused such a stench that the officers and crew were nearly overcome, and the Captain is now ill from the effect of the five day's misery. All the blankets, to the number of 1,500, have been thrown overboard as useless. Thirty men have died during the voyage. The surgeons worked as hard as possible, but could do little among so many and many an unfortunate fellow first came under a medical man's hand on his arrival at Scutari, six days after the battle."

ggF Elder Cummings, a second advent preacher, lately lectured at Salem, Mass. He fiigures out the approaching end of all things here below, as fallows: •-*.

The Jews reckoned by moons on Saturday was the new moon, the last tha$ we should ever have the 10th of the 7th month would be about the first of November, when the meditorial office would cease— and that being so, Christ would certainly make his appearance on the 13th or 14th of November. He said he should never meet his hearers again on earth, and to attest his sincerity took an affectionate last farewell. s-

The London Times says it is informed upon good authority, that Mr. Soule, the American Minister at Madrid, was, on the 24th ult. refused permission to pass through France on his return from England to Spain.

The latest dates from Sebastopol, are to the 21st ult., when the allies continued to bombard the walls, and their fire was effectually answered from the fort.

Twenty days elapsed from the time the allies left Balaklava until the siege commenced. The Batteries were ready on the 15th, and on the 17th the fire was opened upon the fortress from land and sea. The bombardment continued until night, up to which time the Russians had lost 300 in killed and wounded, including Admiral Kornillff, who was killed.

When the steamer left for Constantinople, five steamers had arrived at Balaklava with the wounded.

The Russians have taken the English garrison at Eupratoria, because there were only a few men in it who retired with the loss of only one gun.

Affairs between Austria and Paussia have assumed a serious aspect. A great council of war has been held at Vienna, at which the Emperor presided. Baron Hess was present. It is reported that Austria is to summon Russia to withdraw from the frontier of Gallicia, her forces, and that the whole Austrian army is to be put on a war footing.

The Exchange Bank of Robert Codd, at Buffalo N. Y. has stopped payment. The steamer Yankee Blade, left San Francisco on the 30th of October for Panama, and was wrecked the following day she had on board 800 passengers besides the crew and firemen. She struck a reef of rocks off point Aquillo, fifteen miles above point Conception. Fifteen lives only were lost—she had 8150,000 in specie on board which together with the ship is a total loss.

DEAD HEADS.—On the NewJYork and Erie Road according to the very careful computations, the dead-heads would produce, if they paid regular fare, 160,000 a year—equal to 20,000 through passengers, or nearly 60 per day. The record of "dead heads" show that the free class consists mainly of men in ^he freighting business, hotel keepers and their clerks, members of the Legislature, and State officers, City Councilmen, and officers and employees of other roads, and fovorites and toadies of superintendents and directors. The free passes to the press, about which there is so much noise and grumbling, amounted to less than one per cent, of the "dead-heads

On the New York and New Haven Road, there were 8,174 free passes issued during the year, of which the press received 75!—• The whole investigation proved that the great cry of the press riding the roads to death was all moonshine, and the real "dead-heads" were a class of people who had no business by courtesy or interest, or guid pro qao to a pass.—N. Y. Tribune.

TRAGEDY.—There is more real tragedy to be seen in the streets of New York than in its theatres. One of the most beautiful of the actors we have lately noticed presenst the sadest spectacle. She a woman of the rarest beauty, apparently not over twenty five years of age, and one of the best dressed females to be seen in Broadway. And yet there is an unmistakeable look about her that stamps her at once as a fallen angel—fallen from that high heaven of innocence aud love in which beauty was made to dwell, into that pitable thing unnameable to ears polite.'—What a history, what a sacrifice is here!—What a weight a conscious degradation must weigh down the heart of that beautiful frail one, as she drags her markable charms along the City's cold thoroughfare the cynosuro of wanton eyes, the jest of libidinious lips!—Poor, melancholy, miserable girl—there is no joy in that stimulated smile—no peace in that fair bosom. The priceless pearl of viilue is thrown in the gutter, and well may the Peris of Paradise weep at such a loss.

SST The bullet by which Gen. Joseph Warren, was killed at Bunker Hill in 1775 is still preserved. It as an ounce ball, and was exhibited by Alexander H. Everett, on the delivery of an oration at Charleston, in 183G, in which he exclaimed:—This is the one, fellow citizens, which I now hold in my hand! The catridge-paper, which partly covered it, is stained, as you see, with the heroe's blood." The ball is now deposited in the Library of the United States HistoricGeneaological Society, with the original affidavit of Rev. Wm. Montauge, formerly pastor of Christ Church, Boston, who made oath that he obtained the ball in London, of Auther Savage once an officer of the Customs of the port of Boston, who gave Mr. Montauge this account of the ball:—"On the morning of the I8th or June 1775, after the battle of Bunkers or Breed's Hill, I, with a number of royalists and British officers, among whom was Gen. Bnrgoyne, went over from Boston to Charleston to view the battle field—Among the fallen we found the body of Dr. Joseph Warren, with whom I had been personally acquainted. When he fell, he fell across a rail. This ball I took from his body, and, as I never shall visit Boston again, I will give ti to you to take to America, where it will be valuable as a relic of your Revolution."

isr It is understood at Washington that unusual efforts will be made at the coming session of Congress to procure special legislation for the benefit of the individuals and associations whose applications were rejected at the last seesion.—The outsiders build their hopes of success on the fact, that many of the members have not been re-elected, and that with less fears of their constituents, they will be more open to the influence of friendly presents, longrunning notes, and free champagne suppers,

AIRREST OF AN AMERICAN IN TUS CANY. Correspondent of tho Newark Advertiser.

LEGHORN, Oct., 6, 1854.

Sympathy with the war against Russia is a symptom of rebellion aganistlaw, in the judgmentof the political doctors of Italy.It is not surprising, therefore, that they should have prescribed total abstinence and increased caution. Its rulers are haunted by fears of revolt and overthrow, and keep a jealous vigilance over every movement and incident. Spies and informers frequent the hotels, cafes, antf other public places.no one can enter or leave the'eountry without official observation and consent. Every man's pursuits, intercourse and habits, are known to the police if two or three meet for conversation in the refreshmentroom of a theatre, some one is always there to note it nor does the table-talk at the hotels escape observation. This system of espoinage is in fact the nearest earthly type we have of omniscience.

The recent arrest of an American citizen in this city is an illustrative incident. It shows to what indignities every vistor is constantly exposed. Mr. Quin had tafcenpassage for the United States. During th* evening before the day of his departure he was reading a newspaper article in a cafe, with some remarks of displeasure, which two young Austrian cadete remarked, and thus opened a conversation. ^Affecting agreement with him, he was betrayed into a rather free expression of American sentiments, after, which, they parted, without any apparent discord. Soon after, however, he was arrested and thrown into the military prison of the Austrian garrison.— The United States Consul, J. A. Binda, Esq., a citizen of South Carolina, though by biith a Italian, having heard of the case, forthwith waited upon the Tuscan authorities and demanded their interposition and the release of the prisoner, or at least a trial according to the civil laws of the country. But he was told that the city wa9 under military law, and he must call upon the Austrian Commander-in-chief. He protested, that as an American Consul in Tuscany, he had nothing to do with Austria, and he pressed his suit in vain and left, but not, however, without a forma! protest.

In the hope of effecting a speedy release of the prisoner, he repaired to the Austrian head-quarters, where he was told, with an air of absurd solemnity, that the man had been guilty of an enormous crime—nothing less than an attempt to seduce the young Cadets and excite insubordination— not one word of which had the slightest foundation in truth—and that the penalty was death, and that he must be tried by the military tribunal. After reasoning the, case without success, he closed the inter-r view with an assurance that he should forthwith communicate the case to tho Commander of the United States squadron (Com. Stingham) now fortunately in the gulf of Spezzia, on this coast.

The next morning a letter was received at the Consulate from the Chief of the Austrian forces in Tuscany, at Florence, saying that the prisoner, in consideration of his being a stranger, against whom thero appeared to be no testimony of other disorderly conduct, and an American citizen about to leave the country, would be restored to liberty! It carefully added, in a postcript, that the threat of sending for tho squadron had not had the slightest influence in the case! Mr. Q. is now safely on his way home. The security of the Tuscan government against tis own people is only secured by the presence of6,000Austrians, which cost it, according to the Treasury report, nearly a million of dollars annually.— The Grand Duke is himself a Prince of Austria, and belongs to the House of Hapsburg. On the receipt of the telegraph report of the recent triumph of the Allies at Sevastopol, he discredited it with indignation, and declared to the circle aiound him that that post was impregnable —an illustration of his sagacity and proclivities. Yours, &c.

A LARGE DEMOCRATIC ARMY. In the recent elections in the three great States of Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania says the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Democratic party, although defeated by a combination of all the isms, factions and parties in the country, polled a vote of which it may be proud. In round numbers tho case stands thus:

Pennsylvania 160,000 Democrats Ohio 120,0000 Indiana 90,000

4i

Total 370,000 This shows the great bulk of the Democratic party is yet true to its time-honored principles, although a few thousand members have wandered off 'after strange gods.' No other party singly can begin to poll the great vote above recorded in those three: States. We have been beaten by a combination that cannot hold together moro than a few months, and the early establishment of the Democatic ascendency in Ohio Indiana, and Pensylvania, is one of tho certainties of an early future. -4

Aubbeenaubbe Township, Fulton Co., isundoubtedly the banner Township in the State. The whole vote polled was 76, of which 72 were given for the Democratic State Ticket, and 4 for the fusion ticket. Eighteen to one is a strong vote and tells well for the Democracy of Aubbeenaubbee. If any other township has done better in these fusion times name it.—Pharos.
