TLe Frcspcft Brightens, We get some cheering news from Mr. Brown, the general land Agent for our Railroad to Chicago, L iporte, iScc. The Pres!, of the Board Mr. Ilanria, returned from New Yoik on Friday Lst, bringing the gratifying intelligence, that he had fully succeeded in hi negotiations for the cars and other su&citn! rciiiug machinery for the equipment of the road from Laporte to this place. This arrangement, together with the iron negotiations previously consulted 11 without embarrassing the means of the company or contractor to finish the work insures the speedy announcement of the locomotive whistle a1 cur busy little town, and our dhect RailruJ connection with the north, south, cast and west. Trat! lay ing is to commence at Laporte f:i) the 10th inst. ttM a ?IaiI rarililics. The business men of Knx, the county seat of Starke county, and many others at intermediate offices behvecu that place and Flymouth, labor under many inconveniences, for the want uf additional mail facilities. They have but one mail per week, when their busi j nets transactions really require, and would doubtless liberally patronize two or three. What ay you neighbors, to Setting up a petition to the department, with the concurrence of the present contractor, for a tri-weekly mail from Knox to riymcuth? The citizens of the former place would thus be connected at this y.ne with the daily mail on the Michigan Itoad north and south, which conuects with a daily mall east and west at bih ends Loanspoit and Scu;h Bend. ihedistauce is so short, when compared wnth the importance of the project, that we believe the effort, zealously made, is ail that is necessary to insure success. What say you? Tlie FuJpit and the Press. The Press has about as much business in the Pulpit as the pulpit has in the pres. Surely emulation is laudable and praiswerthy, and if one occupies a higher aa l holier place than the other, it is commendable in the most humble and unpreteu ling, to aspire to higher places of usefulness, honor and profit. It would seem fatty as becoming in tho press to suggest the prooiiety of substituting the dull, monotonous and lengthy communication that ore cften read for sarmon?, with the lively and soul stirring breathings of a tarelu'.ly stwddiej and well matured extemporaneous eiTort. ns it would in the minuter of the Goppel of Christ to nsf -nr. o the direction of the ship of State. Tjt our original governmental organiZitloa assigned them different spheres for ii?-fulness in the world. The Rev. John Angl Jamef says: "It is my sal cr.d poricus belief that if the evangelical pulpit is losing its power, it is just because it is losing its object and its nim. The cultivation of the intellect and the advancement of knowledge in the present Jay. are lifting both preachers en J luaiers above the plain and simple gnpel of Jesus Christ. Sermons are with many persons no longer heard as the word of Clod but as the word of man; not as Mi'din of grace and aids to salvation, but E8 intellectual exercise9 on religious topics, for the gratification of taste, ir teiltet and immcgination on Sunday. And it must be confessed that the preachers of j them are, by their excessive elaboration, and the introduction of new topics, leach ing them thus to be kind of amateur hearears." The following dialogue which occurred between a conductor on one of the Portland railroads and a passenger, a few days since, is strictly appropriate just here: Passcjigcr. Well, Mr. Conductor, what is the political news? Conductor. -Don't know, sir, for I haven't been to church for the last two Sundays. The Lord's Prayer. The following anecdote of Booth, the tragedian, we recently met with in an Ejitcrn paper. We do not remember to have seen it in print before, or to have heard it related. Booth and several friends had been invited to dine with nn old gentleman in Baltimore of distinguished kindness, urbanity, and piety, the host, though disapproving of theatres and theatre-going, had heard so much of Booth's remarkable powers, that curiosity to see the man had in this instance overcome all his scruples and prejudices. After the entertainment wa3 over, lamps lighted, and tha company seated in the drawing-room, someone reqnested "Booth, as a particular favor, and ons which all present would doubtless appreciate, to read aloud the Lord's Prajrr. Booth expressed his willingness to afford them the gratification, and all eyes were turned expectantly upon him. Booth rose slowly and reverently from his chair. It was wonderful to watch the plsy cf emotions that convulsed his countenance, -lie became deadly pale, .and his eyes, turned trsmblingly upwards,

jwet with tears. As yet he had not spoj ken. The silence could be felt. It be

came absolutely painful, as if the spell was broken by nn electric ßhock, as his rich-toned voice, from his white lips, syllabled forth, "Our Father, who urt in Heaven,' &c, with a pathos and perfect solemnity that thrilled all hearts. He finished. The silence continued. Not a voice was heard nor a muscle mov ed in his rapt audience, until, from a re .nnf o nrw- f t t. - V. I J i I.

"You are right," replied Booth; "to real that prajer. as it should be read has cost me thn severest study and labor for thirty years, nnd I am far from being yet satisfied with my rendering of that woderful production. Haufly one person in ten thousand comprehends how much beauty, tenderness and grandeur can be condensed in space so small and in words so simple. That prayer of itself sufficiently illustrates the truth of the Bible, and stamps upon it the seal of divinity." So great was the effect produced (says our informant, who was present.) that coversatioti was sustained but a short time l-nger, in subdued monosyllables, and almost entirely ceased; and soon after, at an early hour, the company broke up and retired to their several homes with full hearts. I w Sevastopol. The Detroit Free Press of the 29th ult. says, "We shall have to morrow the intelligence in detail brought by tho steamer Ilaaaiigfort, which arrived at New York on Thursday afternoon. Her London anJ Liverpool dates are to the 12th inst. The America which arrived at Halifax on Thursday forenoon, brings news three days later, the details of which we cannot get before Suuday. Sevastopol is reported to have "fallen" on the 8lh instant, leaving seven days for accounts of the terrible affairto have reached England. We may therefore hope that the America's news will give us a pretty full understanding not only of the terrific engagement wbich terminated in the withdrawal of the Russians from the south side of the town, but of the actual state of things between tho belligerents at the latest dates from the Crimes, Sevastopol has not fallen. The Allies have the smouldering, bloody ruins of the south 6i Jc of the town, obtained at an appalling sacrifice of lifo and treasure. The Russians retreated to worka of immense strength on the north side, where they can perhaps stand as prolonged a seige as that which is now ended on the opposltt xaarier. We venture tne prediction that the Allied armies will winter in the Crimea. It must be remembered that the intelligence by these arrivals is mainly from English sources. As atSweaborg it mayturn out that the Allied victory is a disastrous defeat. Thuir loss of men is confessedly enormous seventeen or eighteen thousand, and the truth will probably make it twenty-five thcusand! How manv such victories can France and England stand? It is confessed that the Russians fought with the most determined and obstinate bravery, repulsing the French six several times from the Malakoff, and the English onco from the Redan, fifteen thousand French biting the du?tat the one point, and two thousand English at the other; and one accouul says the English were unsuccessful at the Redan! The heavy Russian loss seem3 to have been when the Iroons crossed to the north side of the town. But let U3 wait further advices. Meanwhile, we repeat, Sevastopol has not fallen. The AUies have work on hand there yet. mm tt pr0sser, editor of the Advocate, is one of the oldest printers in Indiana. He was connected with the Journal when we were a little boy! To-be-sure, we ain't muchbiger yet, but we are a great deal older! Evansvillc Journal. Well, Add, we begin to feel quite old now, for according to your account, tve were connected with the Journal before you were a little boy. Rev. S. P. Cbawfoilu has retired from the Editorial charge of the Indiana Republican, published at Indianapolis. Mr. C. is a forcible writer, and has doubtless exerted some influence during his limited editorial career, yet he is quite fanatical in most of hi3 political notions; and a few circumstances connected with his editorial pilgrimage, induce the belief that he was required by his church to lay off either his ministerial or editorial garb. Eso, who broke jail at this place a few months since, was recaptured at Chicago a few days ago, and was soon after identified by a Micigan Sheriff from whom he had, - Rome two years ago, made his escape, by leaping from the wiudow of a Railroad car whilst it was in rapid running motion. He was then on his way to the penitentiary of that State, where he is now safely located. A suit has been commenced in the circuit court against Pnssmore Williamson, for tho value of the abducted slaves bolongin to Mr. Wheeler. He who serves well, need not be afraid to ask his wagps

Arrival or the America. FALL OFSE VA ST OP OL.

New York, Sept. 27. ThoCunard steamship America arrived at Halifax this forenoon, with European dates to the 15ih inst. Sevastopol fell on the 8th inst., after having been bombarded for' three days. and after six ;epulses of the French from the MnlakoiT, and one repulse of the En g1i-sh from the Redan c . The English lost 2.000, and tho French about 15.000. The Russian loss was about the same as the Allies. The Russians evacuated the town, after blowing up the defences, sinking their ships, and firing the city, leaving J uuiuiiii uui a mass ui Mnouuieriiii; ruins. Tu toa, ,0M in lerf.fic u is 30.000.

A larire Allied force is march- ! inrralon the rn;,St tn interrpnt ibe in. land retreat of the Russians, o o .-.--.--4-. - - The allies captured an immense amount of the material of war. It is reported that the Allied generals have orders to demand the unconditional surrender of all the Russian troops, stores and defences in the Crimea, including the town of Odessa. An attempt has been made to assassinate Napoleon. ARRIVAL OF THE WASHINGTON. Later From Furopc. New York, Sept. 27. Tho steamship Washington, from Snut Immnlnn. arrived at 3 o'clock this P. M., bringing dates to the 12th ist. from London and Liverpool. The Washington brings three hundred passengers. Gen. Simpson, in a dispatch dated nt Sevastopol. Sept. 8th, says: 'Sevastopol is in the hands of the Allies. The enemy evacuated the South side, exploding the magazines, setting fire to the town, and burning all the ships of war except three steamers. The bridge communicating with the north side was destroyed. A dispatch to the French Minister of War says: 'Karabelnaia and the south part of Sevastopol no longer exist. The enemy perceiving our solid occupation, evacuated the place, after blowing up all the defences. The chief honors of the day are due to Generals Bosquet & Mocmaher.' A dispatch from Varni says: 'The MaialtolT and Rednn batteries ot Careening Biy were carried by storm. On seeing the French eagles floating on the Malakoff, Gen. De Salles made two attacks upon the central bastion, but failed.' Prince GortschakolT telegraphs on the 9ih that after sustaining a most infernal fire and repulsing six successive assaults, we saw we could not drive the enemy from the Malakoff. of which they had possession. Our brave troops resisted to the last extremity. Evening found nothing in the southern prt of the town but the blood stained ruins.' When intelligence of the fall of Scvas topol reached London end the provincial cities, demonstrations of joy were manifested at all the theatres and places of amusements. When the facts were officially ancvincei. at each place l ho bands liuck up aaliau I tli. - fclCOND DISPATCH. The steamer Washington, from Bremen, arrived hre this P. M. By her we have the accounts of the fall of Sevastopol. Tne allied forces attacked the defenseä at Sevastopol, and the French succeeded in gaining possession of the Malakoff, The. English were unsuccessful in their tttack on the Redan. The Russians in tho night blew up their ships and the town, and evacuated the town, and the communication with the north part was broken off. Gen. Simpson reports the casualities in the attempt on the Redan as somewhat heavy. No general officers were killed. The English loss at the Redan is cstimited at 2,000 killed and wounded, Ina uppliment to the Moniteur, the following dispatch from Tclissier appears: Karabelnaia end the south part of Sevastopol 110 longer exist. The evening preceding our 6olid occupation of the Malakoff, the Russians decided to evacuate the place, after having destroyed and blown it up by mins. Having passed with my troops, I can assure you that f .i . i- u-i..: : ui ., everyining in rvnrauewiair is umii up, and from what I can 6ee the samo must be the case in the front of our attack. This immense success reflects the highest honcr on our troops. Everything is quiet on the Tchernaya." Russian Accousts. The following dispatch from Prince Gortschakoff is dated the 9th: 'The garrison of Sevastopol, after sustaining six assaults from the enemy, could not drive back th enemy from the Malakoff. Our brave troops fought to the last extremity, and are now crossing over to the northern part. The evening found nothing in the southern part but blood stained ruins. On the 9th of September the passage to the north was accomplished, with the loss of 10.000 men.' Breadstuffs generally dull, but price! had undergone no material change. Wheal Id higher. The weather had been remarkably favorable, and crop accounts are satisfactory. It was rumored to-day that the Allies found 1200 guns within the walls of Sevastopol; also that the Russians were falling back on Skierie. French rumors say Gortschakoff will certainly hold the north side of Sevastopol to the last extremity; also, that the Allied Admirals have sent a dispatch, saying it is not expedient to enter the harbor of Sevastopol until Fort Constantino is silenced. Probably the Allies will attack Fort Csnstanline and Artillery Bay. 1 iii 1 - Prof. Larrabee has accepted the appointment of Superintendant of the State Blind Assy! urn, and entered upon the duties of the office on the 1st inst. The New York papers announce another State ticket for the consideration of the voters of the State, with Fred Douglas (black man) for Secretary of State, Lewis Tappan, white, for Comptroller; and J. P. Pason, colored, for Attorney General. It is said that the black citizens are making arrangements to have a mass meeting in the Park to ratify these nominations.

The Markets. There is but little if any change noticeable in the price of produce in the marketß, in which our readers would bo interested. Wheat remains firm, with a tendency upwards.

As an evidence of tho great scarcity of timber in northern Illinois, the Moline, (HI.,) Workman of last week says, "we . 1 1 . t a " 1 i have figured it up, and find that in this o I' I town we can afford to buy a new coal clni'P rrr.rti tirnr at n rnsl if llslftv-fiVP ' dollars, and make money by the operation in preference to using wood stoves if they vrere given to us vood costing so much more than coal. A coal company has been organized in Michigan, and thirteen hundred acres of 'npsng wie ueos it ueen l l - ; . l I l cured. One of the beds is upon the Central Railroad, another on the Detroit and Mihvaukie Railroad, and the third on the Detroit and Lancaster Plank Road. The Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, in a recent report on the business of that city, state that there are not less than 2,000 acras of Catawba vines in cultivation in the vicinity of Cincinnati, of which l.GOO acres are in full bearing; and that, by the average production of the last few years, this aiea will yield TOO,000 gallons of wine annually, and in a very short time, must bo greatly increas ed. Hon. James Buchanan. It is confidently asserted in Washington, that Mr. Buchanan, on retiring from his ministerial career, will be immediately married to the widow of the late President Polk. She is, indeed, a lady for whom one might readily resign even so long a life of bachelordom as his. Emancipation in Kentucky. The Newport (Ky.) Ntics, at the suggestion of a number of prominent slaveholders in Kentucky, proposes that a Convention be held in Frankfort to adopt a plan for the gradual abolition of slavery in that State. Public sentiment in Kentucky, and also in Maryland and Virginia, has been un dergoing a change for some years in respect to maintaining the slave institution. The Yellow Fever has ceased to prevail as an epiJemic, in most of the southern towns at which it was doing such terrible and fatal work a week or two ago. The UigSprings CocTcatiou la Kansas. One of the editors of the Southern Damojrat, published at Parkville, was present at the Big Springs Contention, and gives a fuller report of its proceedings than we have seen elsewere. He arrived on the second day of the Convention, and wa. ruck with the apptaraoco ol sever-l-Ji-4 r.... ii i- tTT"nr nTTTj one of whtch bore the following mottoes; 1st, i"I.iltrty; 2rf, 'o more ilate territory;' 3d. "Victory or death;" 4Ä, Kansas mutt be free" and under all, "Topeka, 1855." Resolutions were passed repudiating the late Legislature, and declaring determined resistance to the laws enacted by that body. Besides nominating Governor Reeder for Delegate to Congress and a call for a convention to form a State Constitution, to be held at Tecumseh on the 1 9 tli inst., was endorsed. To show the spirit of the Convention, we give the remarks of two or three of the speakers: Colonel Line, formerly of Indiana, addressed the Convention, saying that they had placed themselves in a revolutionary position; that he thought it impolitic to urge this resistance; that Governor Shannon was clothed with all the powers of this, the greatest government in the world, to resist and put down their revolution: that he had declared in a speech, which some of them had heard, that he recognized the laws passpd at Shawnee Mission as legally enacted, and pledged himself to see that they were executed. He buid that he knew Governor S., and knew that what he had said he would most certainly execute. You have repudiated the Legislature and resohed not to submit to its enactments. The only way tu settle the question is by admitting Kansas ns a free State. The North has a majority of two in the Senatesome with proslavery proclivities but that situated at Douglas is, he would do anything to get Kansas in as a free State; that on the passage of the Kansas bill, not a Northern man had the remotest idea of its ever being admitted as a slave Slate. He continued: We have laid down a platform that is to strike terror to the hearts of our opponents. Make your resolve to form a constitution send it to Congress, and in twenty days after it reaches there, we will be admitted as a free Slate. Judge Schuyler advocated the measure of electing a Delegate, outside of the laws, and sending him to Congress with th facts of the case. He thought Congress would do something for them. He said he was angered and humiliated to hear Governor Shannon remark on the course he would pursue. A ngered and humiliated to se a man appointed from one of the Northern States come and throw himself in with another State, and resolve to use the power with which he was cloth ed to execute the laws passed by the Missouri Legislature for their government He continued: Oregon will be seeking admission as a Slate. No two free Slates can be admitted at once. If two States are admitted, one must be slave. Which would it be? He did not think Kansas would be admitted; that on this theme of Kansas, must test the uext Presidential election. The committee had reported that they considered the idea of forming! constitution premature; and Mr. Touton had something to say about it, . Ho was fron Missouri; he was born there and was glad of it. He was a true Southern man born 700 miles South of where he then stood, but was opposed to

slavery, with all his powers, in all its

bearings. (Applause.) He continued We have a President, nnd Missouri finsh-' ed with victory, and a Legislature just afjoumed, to oppose u3. But for one, I will never submit to those laws except in death. Mr. thought it va? ut. fortunate that the question of forming a State Constitution had been sprune in the ConvenI I i i n a ft HII.

The following address has been issued h the Massachusetts Irish Emigrant Aid Society to the Irishmen in the United States; "Fellow Countrymen: The time has at length arrived lor action. Fjvery bteamer that crosses the Atlantic, f) our shores, brings intelligence of fresh disasters; distress and ditiiculty to our old inveterate foe. Let us therefore unite in a bond of brotherhood to aid the cause of liberty for Ireland. 'The moment is propitious the means are in our own hands. Let us use them use them with prudence, with caution; but wiih devoted energy and the determination of men who.se birthright is a heritage of vengeance vengeance for seven centuries of wrong, of massacre, of spoliation, of rapine, of tyranny, deceit and treachery unparalleled iu the annals of the wor'd's hUtory." 'Remember Limerick!- remember Skull and Skibbereeu! And oh! remember the long, bitter years of exile; and think of that beautiful land, the home of your childhood and your affections; where repose the ashes of your fathers and the martyrs of your race; and siy, shall no effort be made to wrest the Island from the Robber Pirate who has so long held her in the gripe of tyranny, depresaed the energies of her people, and despoiled them of their inheiitanco.

Mr. Patterson of the Bitlle Ground gave us tho particulars of the drowning, at Americus, which we mentioned on Tuesday. The nama of the man drowned was Clawson P. Birch. He, in company with Samuel Batheler and a son a lad about 12 years of ege had been from home neatly a week, buying stock hogs, and were returning home on Saturdayevening, each of them on horseback. They undertook to ford the river, which had rapidly swolcn by the heavy rains, causing the horses to swim. Birch and Bacheler were both thrown from their horses, in the middlo of the river the former, not being able to swim, was drowned. Bacheler, though stunned by a blow from his horfe's hend. succeeded in reaching the shore, on looking back for his compan ions, discovered his son clinging to his sadJle, his horse being drowned, and floating down with the current. The falber followed on down ihe beach of the river, encouraging his boy to stick to the saddle, in hopes that he would soon fl)at to shoal water. The noble little hero did stick to his saddle, sounding the stream with his riding whip every now and then for threo miles to find whether the water was sufficiently shallow to justify him in dismounting his dead horse, and wading for shore. Finding the water most too deep for him to fathom with his little riding whip, he would announce the fact to his father, by saying, can't touch the bottom yet. Pa! Thu3 he navigated the 4waier logged' craft for three miles, and at last lodged ngainst a tree, and sprang ashore. On taking the bridle from the horse, it was found that it had the lockjaw, and its mouth had to be pried open to get out the bit. As soon as the mouth of the hore was open, the carcass sunk to the bottom. But for the lock jaw, the body of the horse would not have floated, and to this circumstance in addition to the Utile hero's bravery, he is indebted for his life. The body of Mr. Birch was not recovered until Monday. Lafayette Courier. Cor. N. O. Delta. Lxcfution ol a hoy. Alexandria. La.. Aug. 27. The execution of a boy Frank, for the murder of Rev. J. S. Weems, took place on Friday, the 24lh. It is strange to say that the majority of the citizens, and in fact the inhabitants all round, were anxious to see him executed; and on tt.e fatal day, when it came to pass, there was not a dozen people tr.ere! Some drove fortv miles to witness the awful drama, but he was executed and buried by the time they got to Alexandria. Ou the day before he was called to face death, a gentleman visited him. and propounded questions to him; but his answers were, and could be no oilier than childish. He was, I believe, only ten years old! The gentleman told him the Sheriff was to hang him the next morning, and asked him what he thought of it, whether he had made his peace with God, and why he did not pray? Ilia answer was 'Tre been hung many a time!" He was playing all the time in jail, never

once thinking that death was soon to claim him as its victim. To show you

A letter received by the last steamer,! , . . ., . . t , irum b niii inoiiridrv duiiiumy in IjOIdon, mentions some curious facts, showing a change in the tendency of capital, which proves either that London is losing her great monetary supremacy, heretofore unquestioned, or that France is becoming very rich. The letter states that a French company wiih a large capital hnsj undertaken to consolidate all the omnibus j lines of London, as nns already been done in Paris, and lhat a French bank of discount and deposit is to be established in London, with an immense capital, to compete wth the Bank of England. The capital of both these companies has been subscribed, and twice as much could have been had if wanted. Formerly, French enterprises were carried on to considerable extent with English capital, but the current now appears to be changed. jY. I'. Tribune.
