cept young pijr. I have seen the varmint break off the cars, strip oil" the husk,r and fat the corn as handy as I could do. A bar will sometimes gather up a pile of ears, and carry them to an eating-place, and chew 'em up at his leisure. If he is a little bar, he will break down the stalks to gather them; if he is a tall bar, he tears the .. ears off without so much trouble. The fact is, bars are knowing animals, and if they could talk would give us many ideas of the wood we don't dream of " And in his abrupt way, he concluded : "I've seen a bar climbing over a Virginny fence with an armful of ronslin' ears, and never tripping a step." This last remark called forth Uncle Tim, who never allowed any one to "see" more than he did or could, and cordially assenting to all that he heard, with an equivocal expression that would throw a doubt over truth itself, ho related . an incident that came under Iris personal observation, and was looked at with his own eyes. ' " I think," said lie, 'twas two years ago, just after the crop was laid by, that I was out a 'still huntin',' when I g"ot down on 'little Caney,' just back of Bill Sliaddick's pre-emption, that I heer'd a terrible scrimmage, and I crept up, and looked over a fallen tree, and what should I see but

,i but two 'old he's' B-fightin over a pumpkin and . sum rostin' ears? They stood up and came the scientific boxin rigler, occasionally tucking eael other aside of the head, and giving black eyes : and bloody noses; then they clenched and had it rough and tumble, worse nor any lection fight I ever seed down at Myers's. " I tuck sides ov coorse, and gyrated round a-praying that the little fellow would whip, lhar the two had it, round and round, and over and under, when the big fellow went to gouging, and I cried out, 'Turn him over, little un', and get his foot in your mouth.' 'No, you don't,' the fellow sang out." 1,1 ' ' "Who sang out. Uncle Tim?" inquired Captain Wild, some of the boys at the same time whistling. . "The bar sang out," said Uncle Tim, not the 1 least confused, at the same time assuming a "'ferocious look." "The bar," you see, "didn't say the words, but just cocked his ear, when - the little un' did get the walloper's fist between his grinders; and sich a fuss ! the dirt flew about from the extra licks, and I believe they would ha' disappeared in a hole of their own diggin', if I hadn't put in my say so, and just tuck the big fellow in the gizzard with old 'Harkaway,' that had a good bullet inside, and four buck-shot . chambered as snug as peas in a pod. The bars in the excitement didn't hear the gun nor smell, me; the old un' thought iie'd got a severe dig in his breadbasket from his antagonist, and fout the harder, but the little un' felt him give up, and got a new hold, and struck the old fellow nmazin', then very deliberately tuck up the rostin' ears in his left arm, and putting the pumpkin on his head, he walked off, clomb over a high fence, and disappeared in the swamp." "And that is a fact, is it?" asked several listeners, without concealing their incredulity. "Sartin," said Uncle Tim, helping himself to the contents of a stone jug near by," "sartin it's a fact ; I've got the big bar skin at home, under my bed now, and I showed Zack Taylor the very next morning the place whar the bar got over the fence ; in coorse it's a fact. 1 said it." " CORRESPONDENT'S TRAIN 4 5a3?V -.-:.-- - "Turn out the Hogs," Says the Council. . Turn out the hogs, says the city press. So we are likely to have the consolation of seeing our . gates thrown down, our fences and pailings broken through, our gardens destroyed, our yards rooted up, our houses muddied, our stables filled with vermin, and our peace at night disturbed by a gang of grunting squealing hogs again. And for what? To eat up the mellon rinds that are thrown out in Washington, street. After the mellon season is over; the whole city is to be annoyed by droves of hogs 1 to accommodate the few gentlemen of Washington street, who throw their mellon rinds into the street. Can it be possible that the Council will inflict this nuisance on the city again? We have got rid of it by the wisdom of our former Council, and many tax payers think that the principal benefit of the corporation is to protect us againsflhis hog nuisance. . ; A Tax Payer. , TO FRAHK FREEHEART. I might take to myself the credit of drawing from your pen, the best article of all the "thirtyseven" with which you have blessed the present age. I have certainly no wish for a controversy with you, and all my time is required for far more important uses. I will, however, take time to notice two points in your late communication. You parade, with much importance, the fact that the most of your immortal communications had appeared in print prior to the lime during which I spoke of having been a reader of the Locomotive. This correction I cheerfully admit on your statement, not even pausing to remind you that your application of the term falsehood, in the connection you use it. proves you to be as little of a gentleman as you are a scholar. The question of time, however, is wholly aside from the main point, namely, the merit of your writings. Those I asserted, and .do assert, to be empty, vapid stuff; mere twaddle; and if, as you say, you are not "a young writer," you have more reason than I was aware for being ashamed of yourself. I hope the interesting little brother will improve on your example. The other point I referred to is this. You say, ; I am not obliged to read your articles. True, very true. Sad lot if I were ! But that affords; no apology to you for throwing them in my way. You might as weir hang up your portrait in a public room, and say I was not obliged to look at it. In some places, and in some things, the public have an equal right, and he who lessens the privileges or enjoyment of others, for his own interest or vanity, is a trespasser, and deserves rebuke. The contents of a newspaper belong to the public, and the writer who trespasses on an editor's forbearance, to thrust matter before the public eye, that is in no sense useful .or merito-

- w .-a ma

rious, comes under that category. Such is your case, and I have availed myself of the privilege of protesting against your, boring the public

He was induced by this resolution to go to Church shortly afterwards, where he thought he might be able to choose a companion. vu uuc ufauuLui ouauay morning ne uresses himself m his homemade clothes, and goes to j r i o i : i. . .1 the (Jliurch wljero ho thoua-ht there was likely to be the most ladies that were candidates for matrimony. He was the first one there (intentionally) and as the people were assembling, he was a careful observer of the ladies for the purpose of deciding what one would make the best appearance ; and before the Church was brought to a conclusion, he had decided on which of the fair damsels that he would like to have as a companion for life. The idea then arose in his mind that he must escort her home from Church ; but, when comparing the manner in which he was dressed with hers ; viewing his homemade jeans and then her fine silks and artificial flowers about her blooming cheeks, he concluded that he had better delay the escortion until he could procure himself a fine suit of clothes; thinking, peihaps, that in his present suit his company might not be accepted, and if such would come to pass, his fortune would be lost forever. It was not long, however, until he had purchased himself a new suit of clothes, and-as fine a suit as could be had, and a new saddle also. Now, his next object was to christen his new suit; but, as he was a stranger to the lady, he could not think of paying the first visit alone; but in his reflections he thought of a young gensee a sister to this ladv that, was tha shW, nf , his love, and he thought that he would go with mm, 11 tney could so asree On consulting the gentleman about the mat- I ter, they agreed to go together at a set time J When the time came, Henry was seen riding off on a new saddle with his new suit of clothes just as though he was going to some place. He. with his friend, rode up to the nlace where the ladies

resided, got off and hitched their nags and , 01 VMlPul- " trutn, the Allies have ach.eved found their way into the house.

The Tchernaya is done. On the contrary, the most arduous heights have been fortified with extreme care, portion of it yet remains to be accomplished. It and such is the formation of the ground, that it is, indeed, the opinion of most military men who is certain they cannot be taken but by a sacrifice have been on the spot, that it will be almost im- of life so fearful, that it will not probably be made, possible for the allied troops to capture the north ' The northern side of the town, (or rather of the side of Sebastopol by means of a bombardment, system of fortification, of which the town was an They affirm that the only chance of taking that : out-growth,) must then be approached by makpowerful fort will be by having recourse to an ; ing a landing at Eupatoria, or in that vicinity, investment of the place, which they think, now j which will in effect be beginning the Crimean

The blow which I Russia has received in the capture of a portion of the most formidable stronghold in the south ' part of her dominion, will be felt to be a heavy .

one. But we must not deceive ourselves by assuming that the fall of the southern side of Se--bastopal will terminate the war. Russia, doubtless, will be stunned and staggered by the blow; but it will not prove fatal. ISlie will sufficiently recover from its effects to renew her warfare with the Western Powers. For that we must be prepared. She must be punished yet more severely before she will be brought to her knees to sue humbly and imploringly for peace. The allied forces must therefore vigorously follow up the advantages they have gained. The Czar must be met and vanquished in other parts of his dominions, as well as in the Crimea. The latter lies, indeed, at the extremity of his empire.1 The war must be brought, in earnest, nearer to the heart of his dominions. - It must be brought close to St. Petersburg, if not to the very palace of that city. There is no reason why it should not be carried to Cronstadt. It ought to have been carried thither before this time. Let it be so now. Better late than never. When the Czar hears the roar of our cannon in the imperial residence in St. Petersburg and sees Cronstadt in ashes, then,: and not. till then, will he be fain to prostrate himself at the feet of France and Great Britain and gladly and gratefully accept of whatever terms of peace they may be pleased to propose to him. ' ..

A GREAT JOY. The joy which filled the heart of England at the death of the Emperor Nicholas, seems to have found still greater fullness at the destruction of that city which has so long resisted the combined forces of France and England, and which has finally perished by the hands of its own defenders. Here the news lias sold a good many newspaper sheets,' but has woke no great tumult' in men's veins. They had of late begun to weary of the whole business; and now when the word came, the appetite was lost from the long postponement of the meal. Not so, however, with Mr. Bull, who is quite boisterous in ' his mirth. Flags are pictured as floating and guns booming in every direction, and the air is lull or cheers from strong lungs, and the laughter of bells, and the voices of great joyousness. London, usually dull and dreary at this seastin, when her statesmen and fops are by the sea of in the stubble, is represented as drunk with enthusiasm, and as having, in her intoxication, run up alongside the flag of France and England a rag to represent poor Turkey. Manchester, too, where calm and cotton . most prevail, and the Peace Society makes its principal dwelling, has been forgetting her staidness, and putting on bright things and going forth to take her share in the great holiday. Indeed, it would be impossible to run through all the places, great and small,.which have been illuminating: and ringing and shouting and firing and fuming and feasting over the fall of Sevastopol. Perhaps the queerest feature of all is the enthusiasm in Ireland, which all the papers agree, even surpassed in intensity, what was felt in England. Tamberlik was stopped in the second act of the opera of II Trovutore, by bursts of cheers for the victories of England. Without desiring to be inquisitive or to question too closely the consistency of a country which holds in such scorn that vulgar virtue, one might really desire to know how to reconcile all this enthusiasm with the burning vows of hatred to England, and the declaratioas that her difficulty was Erin's opportunity, which have so often Rnninir in o-lowino- tifriods from plnmipnt. Irish P-. D 0 lps, Vhat are we to understand by the reputed intention of a number of our Irish-born citizens to go upon a piratical adventure to wrest their nation from the dominion of England, when that nation is exulting over the victories of England more than England herself? The worth of mushroom popular favor, in lands where ignorance is a necessity, is exhibited too in these rejoicings in the abundant share of applause bestowed on that ex-loafer, Louis Napoleon, whose name was some short lime since the signal for execration. In nearly all the places of public rejoicing' his name kept pace with Victoria's in the race of popular laudation, and in several far outstripped it. Still, however great the enthusiasm of the public, though the news had been known in En gland and France some six days before the saili ing of the steamer from Liverpool, no consider able rise 01 the funds in either country is indicated by the market quotations of London or Paris. The capitalists evidently do not interpret this dear bought triumph as rendering an early peace a matter of prabability. iV. Y. Tribune. Sebastopol Taken! How Much? What Next? Sevastopol has been taken with a reservation. The town, and the dreaded fleet in its harbor, have been destroyed, but the power of Russia in -the Crimea is not annihilated. We have been ! surprised at. the' want of appreciation of the real and the unreal ln the st01les of conquest with which the steamer America came laden. Very many persons are so uninformed, or so silly or P"?" as to believe uia the uussian Umpire "HS .ueef" , , r J n ' ru 'n fu,1etreat from the Cr.maa and that now the A1I,eSn, lave n0tlllnS ,to do but dlctiUe, terms of P6" . lhose Persons liave jet as much to learn ! iss,a' as. on year ago the Allied army had are yet the besieged, not the besiegers. The Russian army of one hundred thousand men, which a short time since menaced the lines of the Allies on the Tchernaya, still lives, is powerful for offensive movements as ever, and the Allies must keep a sharp look out behind, or they ma m turn be stormed. They are not yet war over again going back to take a new start, In this second act, the chances are a little, and only a little, more in favor of the Allies than thev were a year ago. Since they crossed the Alma, and dodged off on their flank march to Balaklava, shunning the northern side of the town, which was the true point to attack, the Russian armies in spite of all their losses, have been vastly aug-; men ted, the Alma Katcha and Belbee Rivers, each affording excellent lines of defence, have

been carefully fortified, and the north of Sevasto- j pol has, under the eye of Todtleben, been fortified with consumate art and enormous labor. i The Allies, on their" part, have gained a propei appreciation of the resources and tenacious cour-ao-e of their foe, are more than quadrupel in number, and have at hand vast accumulations of mil

itary stores. The idea that seems to be extensively entertained just now tkatthe Russians are about to avacuate the Crimea with all possible speed, is an unmitigated absurdity. They now occupy a vast system of fortifications, the core of which is the great north fort of Sevastopol, and the wings of which extend from the Alma river to the Traktir bridge. ' Their line of communication with PerekopTs open, and the conjecture that the Allies are about to assail it, and thus at once strangle the Russian army, is fallacious. The question what is next to be done? must now be dreadfully perplexing to the cabinets at Paris and London, and the Allied Councils of War in the Crimea. If the Allies should succeed by the most desperate efforts in conquering the other instalment of Sevastopol before the winter season, and we think there is not a great probability of their accomplishing so much, they will not dare to follow the retreating armies into the interior, for in the dismal wastes of Central Crimea, every mile would give the Russians strength, and weaken the Allies. In short, an expedition toward Simpheropol this season, is out of the question, and we doubt whether the Allies are now able to invest the intrenched camp and forts opposed td them, or whether it would be good policy to make the investment, if they have the ability. As to the question of ability : They will still have to maintain their lines from Inkermann along the Tchernaya to Balaklava, in the face of a mass of Russian troops perhaps an hundred thousand strong, and to make preparations, ex tensive and laborious, looking toward making themselves comfortable during the coming win ter, and we think they will not feel strong enough under these circumstances to meddle with that which is beyond the harbor. And if they should, their beseiging force on the North, after becom ing involved with the enemy and expending their force in the trenches, will be so poorly prepared for the hideous horrors of winter on those heights as were their predecessors on the other side of the town last winter, .besides, with lines extended twenty miles, the Russian outsiders would be prone, and likely, to break through. As to policy : If the Allies now devote them selves to taking care of themselves, having the sea navigated by their steam navies open between them and home, they can live in some degree of comfort during the winter, and receive whatever supplies and reinforcements will be esteemed necessary to insure their capacity for the conquest of the Crimea in the spring, just in the nick of time when the southern portion of that peninsula is dry and in good condition, while the steppes over which the Russians must travel are almost impassable swamps. Popular opinion in France and England s demanding too much, just now, of their gallant armies, panting and bloody as they are, from the tremendous and murderous assault of Southern Sevastopol. Cm. Com. From the Cincinnati Commercial. . ' Sevastopol The Southern and the Northern Side. t On the southern side of Sevastopol, the regu lar fortifications, made expressly to resist an at tack by sea, were as follows: ' Quarantine Battery. . .... .......... 51 guns Fort Alexander 64 " Fort..;. 50 " Fort St. Nicholas ....102 " Fort Paul 80 " Battery 20 " Total...... ....367 These forts have not been of much service during the siege, as they were not constructed with a view of making a resistance on the land side. The fortifications which employed the al lies for a year past, were impromptu. . In Sep' tember, 1854, when the French and English troops appeared before the town, there was only a stone tower on the Malakoff hill, and a slight wall not capable of resisting a resolute storming column. But by the time that the allies had landed and brought forward their siege guns, and shot and shell, and had constructed batteries, the Russians were ready for them, having plenty of laborers to throw up earth-works, and an endless supply of guns and ammunition. The forts named .above, and the extemporized batteries of the Russians, and the town itself, with its enormous dock-yards and arsenals, are in ruins and in possession of the allies; and the proud Black Sea fleet of the Zcar, the instrument by which he considered that he could, at any moment, violate the Golden Rule, at the Golden Horn, is at the bottom of the sea, or has ascended to the clouds in tempests of flame. In 1853, this armament was catalogued as follows : SHIPS OF THE LINE. . , gwns. guns. The Warsaw 120 The Marchmont 90 Silistra 90 Catherine SO Tchesma 90 Adrinnorile , 90 Maria (Hi Slnloiut BO Anapa 90 Piinen 80 Panilk lfstaphi 90 FRIGATES.

Sizpoli 4 Orestes 34 Iphigenia 24 brig Mercury, SO; two schooners, 14 each ; one cutter, and one tender. The New York Herald says that in addition to this list, "we find in the Russian account of the destruction of the Turkish fleet at Sinope, three ships, the City of Paris, the Grand Duke Constantine, and the Tri Sviatitelia, each of 120 guns, mentioned as among the Russian squadron; also the frigates Rostislatf, the Kajonl and Koulevtcha, and the war steamers Odessa, Crimea, Bessarabia and Chersonesus." We think there was still another 120 gun ship, and we presume that nearly every body remembers the venturesome steamer Valdimar, which, before the French and English appeared at Sevastopol, made mysterious voyages about the Black Sea, carrying terror where the gigantic armaments of the Western Powers should have rendered even a suspicion of insecurity impossible. But alas ! for the towering three deckers, the beautiful frigates and the swift steamers, which sported in the Euxine as ducks in their native lake, and hovered threateningly over Constantinople, like a flock of eagles, ready to swoop upon their prey they are scattered to the winds or sunken in the waves. The ports on the northern side of the harbor where the Russians retreated and stood their ground, are : ' Fort Constantine. ... J04 guns. Telegraph Battery 17 Double range casement Batteries. . . 120 " Other Batteries GO " Double Battery 34 Extreme Eastern Battery 20 " Total. 355

In addition to these, we must count the great

star fort, capable of holding a garrison of ten thousand menj and said to be armea with two hundred eunsi and surrounded by formidable earth-works heavily armed, and also, the Wasp fort and various new batteries in commanaing positions. The Star fort is called by the French Fort du Xord, Bnd is the dominating cuaael of Sevastonol. "set upon a hill' trom which Us guns bear upon the town, the harbor, and the sea-shore forts. Foundries are saiu io nave Deen erected on this side the harbor since the com mencement of the siege. Ihe evidence of the fact was the fresh-cast balls and shells that the allies found pitching among them. And as the supplies for the garrison of the southern side of Sevastopol had to be tauen tniougu ui uui uiern side, where was situated the depot at which carts from the interior stopped, it is likely that if there were stores of amunilion ana provisions held in reserve, as has been stated, they were on the safe side of the harbor, and remain intact. That the Russians had for some time been preparing to hastily evacuate the besieged side of their stronghold is evident. The great labor expended in the construction of a bridge across the harbor was for purposes of retreat. It is reasonable, therefore, to believe that they had husbanded their resources for the north side, and made all possible exertions to place themselves in an imposing attitude there. The Russian organ in Western Europe, the Le Nord, published in Brussels, speaks of the north side of Sevastopol as a very strong position, "bristling with innumerable guns and defended by a compact army." But aside from the defensible position that the Russians now occupy, and the resources that may be at their command, it is contended that their troops are ' demoralized. Now those who are calculating on a panic in the Russian army are throwing away their estimates. There was nothing indicative of demoralization of the troops in the movements of Gortschakoff. He executed the terrible design of destroying the town and fleet when they could no longer be defended, with the u'most coolness and success, and withdrew his troops in safety. ' The one remarkable quality of a Russian soldier is the negative but most excellent one of incapacity to be smitten by a panic. It is thought by many that the northern side of the town in controversy cannot be held, owing to the scarcity of water, as wells are the only usual resource for that fluid there. But we presume that it will be as easy to get water on the "northern as on the southern side side of. Sevastopol. The aqueduct that supplied the city was destroyed by the allies at the time that they took possession of Balaklava, and the besieged garrison must have been supplied by wells or cisterns, or water conveyed from the Tchernaya river, or from the opposite side. There the river Belbek, down which the huge trains of carts have poured to feed the Russian legions, is not so remote but water could, without exhausting exertions, be obtained from it. Besides there will be floods of rain before long, and if there is any difficulty about water then it will be in consequence of the superfluity of the article. , The Russians will manage to get water enough. The only element about which they should feel apprehensive is fire. They may be overdosed with that. TBI 4(DTiI SATURDAY, OCT OBER 6, 1855.

Strong. .; JW In to-day's paper we publish several articles in relation to the fall of Sevastopol, from the leading papers of the country, that correspond with our ideas of the matters. WTe freely admit that all our sympathies are with the Russians in this war, and that the taking of any part of Sevastopol by the Allies was unexpected. The Allies are glorying greatly over their success the London papers say there never was so much enthusiasm and exultation. We are rather disposed to think they had better do all their crowing now, for as they are not out of the woods yet, it may be the last chance they will get. Russia is not whipped she has not surrendered, nor left the field, and we shall only believe the Allies can conquer her when we hear of her sueing for peace.
