And under the principles of the Kanaae and Nebraska bill and the doctrine of non-interference with the question of slavery In State or Territory as announced in the Cincinnati Platform, the foe* taring or discouraging of the Institution of slavery wan referred to those who were immoderately interested in this question. All tho leading Dcm ocratic ipoakers and writen In the Presidential canvas* three year# ago, #o far ai the Territories were concerned, conceded tho whole subject to the control of their inhabitants. Vico President BiKOKtsainoK, in hie speech at the Tippecanoe
Battle Ground, In 1856, said:
Ha had beard it charged that the fifteen slave States ware oooapirlng to obtain entire possession of the General Government, with a view of bringing its power to bear to extend and perpetuate their peculiar institutions. I am connected with no party that has for its object the extension of slavery, nor with any to prevent the people of a State or Territory from deciding the question of its existence or non existence for themselves. I happened to be in Congress when the NebraskaKansas Bill passed, and gave it my voice and my vote because it did what it did, viz: it acknowledged the right of the people of the Territory to settle the question for themselves, and not because I supposed, what 1 do not now believe, that it legislated slavery into the Territory. The Democratic party is not a pro-slavery party; it to neither pro-slavery nor anti-slavery. If such sentiment# were right and Democratic then they are none the less so now. If correet in principle, and if Mr. Botox to right in declaring that no amount of legislation oan carry slavery Into the Territories now organized, it appears to us the dogmaof Intervention is not only mischievous, but useless. The true policy to to legislate no further upon the subject, but let it rest upon the just doctrine of non-intervention by Congress with slavery in State and Territory, or in the District of Colombia.
Vlore matters.
Dean not have escaped observation that the country appears to be sympathetically affected periodically with prevailing erimos or manias. At one time spiritualism, at another murders, then suicides, next erbn. eons., and soon. Just now Milleriim appears to be rampant. The Co* Iambus City Fact gives us an account of one of the latter developments, as follows: The Rev. Mr. Wright was on triahm Tuesday last, at Cleveland, before the North Ohio M. E. Conference, which met with closed doors and refused to admit tho reporters of the press. We find, however, tho following in the New York TYibune, which may throw some light on a subject attempted thus to be kept dark: 11 The Rev. Mr. Wright, Methodist clergyman of Cleveland, is under a heavy olond, being charged with licentious conduct in connection with >ome young ladies of his congregation.'’ The Cleveland Leader also ascertained that tho charges against the Rev. gentleman included "advanoes and intimacies with a number of females, married and single, some of them crimi-
nal and some indiscreet.”
The trial, we learn, was concluded on Wednesdsy, and resulted in the expulsion of tho Rev. Mr. Wright by a vote of 54 to 40. Notice was given of an appeal to the General Conference, which holds its next session at Buffalo in May next. It is said that the charge of Immorality was sustained by a very large majority, the prln* cipal difference of opinion being in regard to the
proper punishment to be inflicted.

Of course Mr. Clay and those who agree with him in this dec laration, have no right to call themselves Democrats, or bo recognized as such by the great Dem ocratie party. Democrats will support tbs nominee of th i Democratic National Convention, even if that individual should not be exactly to their liking.

Mr. Miller, a dealer in cattle, was crossing the river bridge on bis way home, between seven and eight o’clock in the evening ; and when about in tbs middle of the bridge he was met by a man who struck bha a severe blow in the pit of the stomach. The blow knocked Mr. Miller senseis*, and while in this condition the robber took from his pocket a package containing one thousand dollars.

On Sunday night of last week she left said place, and on the following Thursday morning an infant was drawn from a well near Manley b Co’s Woolen Factory, which proved to be the child of the above named woman. The clothes of the child were identified by the woman who made those of the child of Miss F., as the same clothes made by her. The child had evidently been in the well since about the time Miss F. left here. These considerations and the fact of her having left for parts unknown, fixed the suspicion of the public upon the unfortunate girl, and on Saturday she was arrested near Mitchell, where she had secluded herself, and brought baok, and ia now in prison awaiting trial.

answered by them—every boat containing them striving to be the first to reach the shore. Not a soul in the squadron at that moment, I believe, doubted our obtaining a speedy victory. Just as the first boat touched the shore, however, bang went a gun, again from the forts, immediately followed by a perfect hurricane of shot, single balls and rockets from all the southern batteries, which mowed down our men by tens as mod as
they landed.
Nevertheless, out of the boats they all leaped with undiminisbed ardor, many into water so deep that they had to swim ashore, aad dashed forward through the mad while the ships threw in as heavy a covering fire as possible. The enemy’s fire continued to be so deadly, and the mad proved so deep—in most places np to the knees, often up to the waist, that out ol the one thousand men who landed, barely one hundred reached the first of three wide and deep ditches, which, after five hundred yards of wading through mud presented themselves before the gallant few who got so far, and out of that small number searcely twenty bad been able to keep their rifles or amunition dry. They boldly faced these difficulties, and some fifty, with a crowd of officers, among whom were conspicaons the Commanding officer of the French Contingent, Commanders Commereli Heath, R. N., Major Park and Lieutenant Hawkey, of toe Marines, Major Fisher and Lieutenant Matland, of the Engineers, who succeeded is getting as for as the farthest bank of the third ditch, from which they would have m ide a good attempt to scale the walls, had ladders been forthcoming; bet out of the number that were landed, all but one had been broken by shot or stuck in the mud. With the remaing one, ten devoted men sprang forward, three of whom were immediately shot dead, and five were wounded seve.ly. A vertical fire of arrows, as well as a constant fusitade was kept up on the select band who crouched in the ditch, waiting, but in vain, for reinforcements, and that any escaped alive is miraculous. Seeing what difficulties presented themselves, the order was at last given to retire. In effecting a retreat efen more lives were lost, perhaps, than in advancing, as the Chinese, by lighting blue-lights, were enabled to discover toe exact position of our reeling and exhausted men, and so to shoot them down Tike birds. Even on arriving at the water’s edge, matters were not improved, as so many of the boat* had been smashed to pieces by round shot, that there were not enough remaining to take off the surviving men. Several were drowned in attempting to go off, while many had to remain for more than an honr np to their necks in water before they could get a place in a boat; but even then their dangers were not passed, as the fire from the forts continued so heavy that several boats full of wounded were struck and swamped, while pulling off to the ships. Our loss has been frightful—434 killed and wounded. The first battalion of marines, which landed 400 strong, lost 172 killed and wounded. The Chetapeake, 26 killed or missing, and 34 wounded; and the gun boats 90 killed and wounded. No expectation whatever, is entertained of those who are missing being still alive. With such enemies as the Chinese, and, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, all such hope is out wf the
question.
The belief is universal that Europeans maintained the batteries as well as the Chinese. Men in gray coats with cropped hair and Russian features were visible in toe batteries, and toe wbolo of the fortifications were evidently of European designing. Some of those who advanced near the wall even go so far as to declare they have heard men calling for more powder in Russian, and this morning it is reported two bodies floated oat of the river, dressed in Chinese clothe#, but having European faces. The damaged forts are already repaired, and have never ceased to fire upon the boats that are ■till engaged under Captain Wiles, and Com manders Comerell and Heath, and Winlott, in struggling to rescue the stranded vessels. The French, out of their small landing party of sixty, had fifteen killed, or wounded. The Americans satiated us considerably by means of a small steamer, with which they towed up several of our boats into action from the large abipe, and atoo, after action, by taking out to their respective ships a number of our men, to whom they showed every kindness. They are loud in their praises of toe daring our men showed, and have sent large presents of fresh meat and vegetables for the benefit of oar wounded.”
