RICHMOND PALLADIUM. 1

Tbor.dBT Mornint, ::::::::: :A-It 9. 1855. The Eastern War. i The question is frequently asked, "what will be the final result of the war now in pro-! gress between the allied powers and Russia." , The question U easier asked than answered, though the probabilities appear to us now, that Russia will not be conquered by the present invading force. The success f the attack on Sevastopol is becoming more and more doubful. .Such is the bravery, bsti-1 nancy nd military kiU of tbe lugercnt8 , that it seems a if the party which can supply j the most men to be sacrificed in the terrible strife, will finally be victorious. j After a seige of nine months, in which there has been harder fighting and a greater sacriflee of human life than has, perhaps, ever before been known io a seige of the kind, they have accomplished next to wothing. The operations of the allies have 'been confined en.Ma which is reDresented as much IiWl Hit l waw " .v , fc-a aever vet been touched. But a few uuunnortant out-nosU have been Uke iii to the city aswhen they began. It is said that the present position of the allies is becoming daily more critical, on account of the hot weather and the exceedingly unhealthy condition of the atmosphere in that locality. One account states, that "the whole ground on which the allies are encamped has now become one vast grave-yard, with its superficial earth filled with the half-buried bodies of men and horana its surface covered with ail nameless abominations, so that the atmosphere in re- ! :(.- with every conceivable cause of deadly pesiilence. Add to this that the whole region of country within the line of the allies is all but destitute of water; that the whole dependence of the camp, with its two hundred thousaad men and fifty thousand horses, is upon a few half-dried rivulets, bad wells, and muddy pools reeking with offal; and iiii tw ubioiu even the wretched water thus accessible, the soldiers are formed in long lines, each getting in turn, after an hour or two's delay, his prescribed allowance with which he is to sustain life for the single day, by drinking this poisonous deeoction of dead horses and men. The allies ciuinot remain as they are through the mouth of July." it is understood that Gen. Pellissier contemplates making one more desperate attempt to take Scvastapol by storm, and then if he fails, to break up the camp and march into the Crimea. According to be best estimates, the losses of both armies added together, since the war commenced, amount to near 900,000 persons. The greater part of these were killed in battle or died from disease, but a considerable number are crippled and rendered more or less helpless, they will re tarn but to burthen society or their friends. Whatet r may be the final result of the via ono thing is pretty certain, the days of the Turkish Empire are numbered. Alieady have the English and French Army fortified j some of the most important points bordering on the Black Sea, from tbe aeat ef war to Constantinople, and also both sides of the Bosphorus, the English taking (he Asiatic side while the French occupy the European shore. Tho Turks are now fully convinced that Eng land and France intend to appropriate their country to themselves. They will, of course, demand ample compensation for the vast expenditure of blood and treasure in this war, and the resources of Turkey being completely exhausted, they will be obliged to yield their territory, unless Russia shall also claim it and drive the allies from it. It is even possible that the three powers may yet compromiso the war and divide the territory between them. Strange as it may appear, the Turks would much prefer Russia to rule over them than cither France or England, and it U confidently believed that they will ere long be found on the 6ide of Russia. Wayne County Agricultural Fair. We would call the attention of our agricultural and mechanical friends, to the consideration of the importance of preparing for the nest annual Fair, to be held at Centreville next month. The citizens of that place and immediate vicinity are making efforts to make this the best Fair ever held in the county, and with their zeal and energy, we are disposed to believe the arrangements will be superior to those heretofore made. All should begin at once with their arrangements. Select something of a iuperior quality from their farm, garden or shop for exhibition, and see that all tho family attend, and partake of the interesting and exciting scenes which are in prospect at the next exhibition. There is every disposition upon the part of the Executive Committee, to offer greater inducements to ins-tire a more general display, and a larger attendance, that has ever before been presented. This season is far more propitious than the last, and the general healthy tone which is manifested in the hopes and prospect of the farmer of the eounty, gives reason to anticipate that the coming exhibition win be a kind of jubilee. The Mechanics are respectfully urged to sustain their previous high and well known reputation, by exhibiting improved specimens of their skill and ingenuity. Without their aid, the Fair will be a failure. Upon their skill depends much the cultivation of the soil. - --- We, in a special manner, would invite the ladies to take more active part in the Household department of the Fair, than they have heretofore exhibited. The next will be. the fifth exhibition of tbe Society, and we hope it will make apparent the progress of the farmer and mechanic in their respective departments. Badges of membership are now ready, and can be had at the office of A. F. Scott, (the Clerk's office) in Centreville, or at the office of this paper.

THE RIOT AT LOUISVILLE. FIFTEEN OR TWENTY KILLED. TWEXTY OR THIRTY WO USD ED.

TWO ACCOUNTS. From the Louisville Journal j We deeply regret to have to record the scenes of violence, bloodshed, and houseburnina which occurred in our city yesterday. VVnnntnov express our abhorrence of mc things: nor can we find space in which to say what we would wish to say upon this subject. A terrible responsibility rests upon those who have incited the foreign population of our city to the deeds of violence which were the commencement of the riots in tbe First and Eighth Wards. We are confident that these riots were not occasioned by anything tht barmened at anv of the several votincr ulaces. The election throughout tne cuy ------a- M I . as far as we can karn, had parsed off with the exception of a brutal outrage in the I irst ward, of which we shall speak presently, and some fighting at the Eighth ward polls, in which no one was much hurt. The riots were occasioned by indiscriminate and murderous assaults committed by foreigners, chiefly Irish, upon iiivbo-. .;h.. peaceablv attending to their own business, at Some u. i any of the voting places. All the circumif indicate that they were premeditated and instigated by other parties than those by whom they were actually committed. We are not now prepared to say that they were the consequences only of tbe ineendiary appeals, for some time past, publicly made to our foreign population by some of the leaders of al a a me Ann-American party, or that they were instigated by direct instruction of men with fiendish hearts, who control in a great measure the passions, and are able to dictate actions to the Germans and Irish who made these attacks. All the facts will probably be ascertained judicially, and then the responsibility will rest where it properly belongs. The circumstances as detailed to us. and the confessions of some of the miserable wretches who were made the victims of their insane j folly and murderous violence, show that these j assaults upon unoffending and innocent native-1 born citizens were premeditated, and that the j blame attaches to others who are as yet un- j named. ! ttks line not ume uj gi ucinui. iieas" ; sert, however, and are sure that it will be proved by respectable witnesses, that every act of bloodshed was begun by foreigners. That in every instance where mortal violence ensu ed, the beginning of the riots was an unpro voked slaughter bv foreigners of penceable Americans while quietly passing in the street at a distance from the polls. This infuriated the populace, and a prompt and terrible re-j sort to mob violence by which many foreigners the consequence. In the first war 1 about 9 o'clock in the morning, while the election was proceeding quietly at the polls, Mr. George llurge, a respectable and quiet American citizen, was brutally assaulted by a party of Irishmen on Jackson Street, between Jefferson and Greene, without having given any provocation, he was knocked down and horribly beaten with stones and clubs. He attempted to escape from the fiends by whom he was attacked, and ran into the alley of an adjoining house, where he was followed by his bloodthirsty assailants, and cut, stabbed, and beaten until he was supposed to be dead, when one of these inhuman brutes deliberately opened his knife and proceeded to -cut the throat of the murdered man. When this act of vio . 1 . J I lence was made known a party of Americans started in pursuit of the murders, who were subsequently arrested and lodged in jail by the Mayor and City Marshal. I t .i r. v . .1. j r . In the afternoon between three and four o -1 clock, several Americans were fired, upon and j severely wounded while quietly riding or 1 ii t. .t rf-i k Tr walking by the Trerman brewery on Jefferson street, near the Beargrass bridge. Among these were gentlemen from Jefferson county, ' and several respectable citizens. "One gentle man who was hred at was riding in a buggy ta7 1 f Vt liiav m. 1 4V catfifai-l Vt t- Ii i -a trtfia A Kii-ailt I li a same time a nerfect shower of shot and bul- : 'eta were rained upon every American passerby from the windows of some houses occupied y Germans upon fcheiby street, in tne neighorhood of Madison street. As soon as these occurrences were made :nown it was ascertained that large bodies of breiguera, armed with shot guns and rifles, iad assembled in the neighborhood of the rewery and also on Shelby street. An indisriminate slaughter f the American citizejs ras apprehended. An immense crowd of exited, maddened, infuriated Americans asemIed; they were fired at from the window of he brewery and the houses on Shelby street, i nd in seeking to arrest these offenders seve al men were badly wounded, and the incensd and infuriated mob burned the brewery md sacked the houses from which the shots vere fired. In the 8th ward, the most serious disturbnces occurred about 6 o'clock in the afterioon. A Mr. Rhodes, in company with two riends, all American citizens, was quietly assing up Main street, near Chapel, when ViAr araaaak cat nvuMi tr a Ytttvf f TriVim.m ho with horrible oaths swore they wuuld ! aey lean the streets of every American. Fifteen hots were fired upon them. Rhodes was tilled and both his companions badiy woundid, one of them seriously. The Irishmen .hen ran up Chapel street, and on being pursued took refuge in the house at the corner f Chapel and Market streets, whence severd shots were -fired by the inmates, by which .everal American citizens were wounded and .wo killed, a Mr. Graham and a Mr. Hobson. fhe firing from this house continued some half an hour. The Irish were armed to the teeth with -fire-arms of every description, while tire Americans were almost entirely unarmed, and were obliged to go to their homes to procure arms to defend themselves and their friends from the mnrrlprm,. fir of thf ! insane wretches who had made this attack ; upon them. Between ard 7 o'clock, a suf j lie ic in. nuiQucr were assemoiea to capture ice ! i ,.i ... . I muruerer oi young trranam.; an attempt was made to hang him, but we learn that he is still living. We do not know bow many have been killed, but have already heard of some twelve or fifteen in all, and some twenty or thirty more or less dangerously wounded. The account below is a telegraphic report to the associated press of Cincinnati, and may therefore be regarded as impartial. Caase of the Rtct ia Loniaville. Lonsviu-K, Aug. 7, S P. M. The following is tbe only evidence we have concerning the cause of the commencement of tbe riot. In the First Ward, two gentlemen riding in a carriage were fired upon from a house inhabited by Germans or Irish, and one of them wounded. The firing was repeated without effect. Ed. Williams, watchman in the Second Ward, John Selvage and John v . . a JUatta, au Americans, went to the scene of the difficulty, and were also fired upon. Latta's kg was shattered by a musket ball, and Selvage and Williams wounded.

Exaggerated reports of this having reached j the lower part of the citv. caused a larjse crowd to ro up to the First Ward. Two Germans j in the house from which the firing proceeded, ; were shot, and so badly beaten that their re-. covery is doubtful. The mob sacked the; house, and then proceeding to houses corner

Shelby ad Madison streets, irom wnence , Germans had fired, they riddled two grocer- ; ies and beer houses; also two other houses in- j habited br Germans. Several Germans were j severely injured. The next scene took place j onjenerson ireck, nucic.jv e--coming into the city were fired upon from a large brewery. The crowd proceeded thence, j sacked and burned tbe brewery, beat several ; Germans badly, and shot an Irishman, who j died this morn;ng- j On the street below an American was shot i and slightly wounded, and au Irishman shot; and beaten. ShoU had been fired from all the j houses which were attacked. The crowd then j talked of sacking the Catholic Church, where j it was rumored, arms were stored; but Mayor j Barber and others prevailed upon the crowd j not to do it. The crowd then marched to the j engine house in the Fifth Ward without can- j non. All trouble was supposed to be over, j and the crowd dispersed. j While this waa going on in the upper part) of the city, several persons were fired upon in j " 4 1. ..:. ? n Vr f.-J." treet. aouui a i . uj., iwo Americans stc-io ot from an Irish house on the corner of Main and Chappel streets, without the slightest provocation, so far as can be ascertained.

Brown-son's Allegiance to the Pope. !xhu distinguished organ and oracle of the lJAnfl in IhlA PAlintrT hna wnlfun nrl ope in tins country, has written and publish-: ed a letter, in which we find the following! plain and distinct avowal of the allegeance ; Catholics in this country owe the Pope of j Home. A more unblushing avowal has never ' been made: j "The Pope is the proper authority to de-! cide for me, whether the Constitution of this country it or ' not repugnant to the laws cf God. If he decides that it is not, then I am bound in conscience to obey," ic. j In other words, if the Pope decides that' the Constitution of this country is repugnant to the laws of God, then Mr. JJrownson and : all good Catholics will obey the Pope, and oppose the Constitution of their native or adopted country. How long would our free institutions be maintained by such men, ac- , , , . , i knowledgmg such allegiance? . ... . Aboct Ubll FBEezisg. We published last1 , r . -r , , , week .Lx-Auditor Dunn s denial that Gov. j ! Wright had used the language imputed to him, in reference to the congealing of the 1 ower regions. We done this as a simple act; of justice, supposing that the Governor's fair ehrCr for morality stood in danger of be ing damaged by the publication made some time since. But the Editor of the Evansville Journal still ptrsists in asserting that J. P. Dunn did positively make the statement as coming directly from Gov. Wright. It is now a question of veracity between the editor and the ex auditor. The high reputation which editors generally enjoy for veracity, will speedily settle it, we think, in favor of the former. The use of such indecorous language ; by our worthy Governor, indicates that he ; must have fallen from arace somewhat, since 1 ! his rash withdrawal from church because his minister was a know--nothing. Tr avkllino Facilities. To illustrate the 1 superior facilities for travelling now afforded , by the various lines of rail roads leading east-. i ward, we need only mention the fact that one i of our citizens lately visited Washington city, ) remained there twenty four hours, and leturn ed to lns home in thl cltJ' haT1DS absent I ' just three days and a half.

Commons, E. C. Thornton and John Cox, was appointed to prepare business for the next Bieetiug. Adjourned until half-past 1 o'clock. AFTIRSOON. The Association met at the appointed hour. The objects of the Association were stated by the President, and all persons present invited to participate in the exercises. The committee on business reported that as our next meeting would be held at the time of the Teacher's Institute, the occasion would pi"parafiofinrifiSi felSSS? 'UW.piST'SHS received and the committee discharged. Wm. llatlitf reported on tho use of tobacco, by the teacher. He said that either smoking or chewing was a bad practice, prejudicial both to health aad cleanliness. The teacher should not use tobacco, or if he did.it should be verv snariutrlv. The renort'was so amended as to disallow the use of tobacco entirely, and adopted. Thomas Charles reported on the "Collateral reading of the Teacher during school terms." He said the teacher should read such books only as relate to the Branches he may be teaching at the time. He did not approve of read-j ing newspapers or books that have no connection with bin occuoation. He was onoosed to teachers writing books while professionally engaged. No one should attempt to study law or medicine while employed as a teacher. Fiction should be discarded. But few books should be read at the same time, and those thoroughly studied. Notes should be taken of the more important points, and after a book is thus read or studied, essays should be written upon the subject. D. H. Roberts was opposed to several parts of the report. He contended that the mind was relaxed and rested by variety' that teachers and pupils could advantageously pursue many studies at the same time. He approved of teachers writing books, reading newspapers, kc. He thought that truths were impressed upon the mind and retained by the memory, chiefly by virtue of frequent repetition under different circumstances, and in a variety of ways. Dr. Pease thought that all depended entirely upon the difference of organization, and that each one ought to be his own judge in such matters. He moved that the report be so amended as to include this idea. Mr. A. Harris was opposed to the amendment. He was in favor of the report as read. , The amendment was lost and the report adopted. Tristram Coggshall reported on penmanship. He dwelt upon the history of this art. urged us importance, and recommended wniiuo- schools. He thought that it should be taught by practising upon each letter singly nvatil it could be made with ease aud grace. His report was adopted. R. S. Fisher reported on the plan, situation and arrangement of school houses. He presented in a very graphic and beautiful manner, his beau ideal of a village school house. Miss Reynolds thought the report imperfect, as it gave no plan iur common country school houses. The report was adopted, and the committee continued to report a plan for rural school houses, at our next mee'.ing. Adjourned to meet, in Richmond, on Mon- ; dav morning. August 13ih. at 9 o'clock.

For tho Palladium. JaC &sonbcks, In J.. July 23, IBoo. M'.it'i. Editors: The third annual report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction for the State of Indiana, has come to Land. ; in which he is disposed to notice us "small luminaries' in a way somewhat disparaging, I fear'not without iastirrounds. A mere notice of the township reports, shows that there must be some screws looseinthe management

of our school affairs. hv some trustees charge ten to thirty TOnt; on l!wj of school funds disbursed. Others performed the same duties without charcre. 1 his shousd not be the case. There should be auniformity throughout the county and State. In the report of Wayne county, there are fnnrt.mnsHnsinif f,-ar illCOTDOrated towns of . . " ' : ,4 , t t,;.t, 1.-, K.n m,ii ta fhanvs for their educational services. While those that charged swell the amount in the aggregate to cua,u: I have no disposition to charge any public . functionary with willful plunder, but how there comes to be such a sjieat difference in their official capacities, when there has been no new school-houses erected? Is a question , I should like to have some light on. and how ; the 8438,04, was paid without a special tax. ; requires an explanation. I hold that no man i-; fit for a township trustee who is not a warm friend of education one who cannot tax himself with a portion of hi time, in the promotion and general well- j fare of the school affairs of his neighborhood, ' is not fit to be entrusted with its guardianship. It is a matter of the first importance, for the prosperity of the cause, and the success of our : ; educational enterprise, that we should have j for the next five years the most discreet, iuU lligent and efficient men. Hundreds and j thousands of dollars will be expended within I that period, in the erection of school houses. Therefore we should have men of experience ; to superintend their erection, and expenditure j of their funds. The selection and sites for the ; school houses should be made with great care ; and wisdom, and with all proper respect for the reasonable wishes of the people severally interested. In order to bring about a union of senti- j ment on this important matter, I would suggest holding a general meeting of all the boards of trustees of the several townships and towns of this county, at Centreville, about the middle of September next. The interest j of the civil townships are such that it is imof the rest. The time has arrived for action, j The people want to know whether they are going to have school houses built, or whether they will he under the necessity of sending to ! their old district schools; regardless of all its ; inconveniences many are sending out of their ; ; toivnships ' The trustees of the county must eret to- ' gether and district their towuships so as to ; make it convenient for all the children to at- i tend school in their own township. If there be a natural obstruction, such as a stream cut- j ting off a strip on a side of a township, let that be attached to the adjoining one, not on- j ly for school purposes, but as a part and par-; eel, and name ot the township attached, dtc. ; i ur township libraries should be governed , j b7 uniform rules, in order that all can enjoy , , their benefits alike. Likewise it would give. lhe Auditor an opportunity to instruct us col- j lectively. And not only this, it might bring array of intelligence together, so that the : Superintendent would be induced to be with ; us, to give us his official aid. As it is, he' gives us to uuderstaud, that there is too great, a voil between the trustees of a township (though they may be the best men in it) for him to hold any communion with. Who will respond to this call. ! JOHX FERTICH, jr. j from the New York Herald. I'tah Crickets, Grasshoppers and Locusts' Dread fa I Prospect for the .Motmous j According to our last advices from Utah it ' is quite possible that the kingdom and the institution of Mormondom will be extinguished, or expelled, from our Western Territories within a few years, by causes and instruments j which have never entered into the calculations i of saints, philosophers, or politicians. Grasshoppers, crickets and locusts threaten to do ' the work which has confounded alike ouri statesmen who believe in the supremacy of "squatter sovereignty," and those who main-! tain the supremacy of Congress over the Ter- ! ritories. ! The intelligence which we publish else-! wri(,r ror.rt.nt.a ih ,.mn. .t, tt,.i, over all that vaot r,fmn .i;m;t.;.t; J ------ - -- - a mm ill H.U U IIVI Jti. nere anu mere oniy excepted as in process ! of absolute extirpation by grasshoppers and ! crickets, and that a new ally, in the shape of, a locust, was appearing in some localities to ' aid in the work- of famine. The poor Mor-! mons were naturally alarmed and bewildered at the fearful prospect before them; for with : the consumption of their crops by those vor- j acious insects, rising out of the ground in swarms, and eating up every green thing with- ! in their reach, there can be no other alterna- j tive to the Saints than starva ion, or a rapid I exodus to some more favored region of the ! world, among the waste places of some otlier 1 continent, or the unappropriated islands of the sea. The history of the Mormons is the living i i wonder of these latter times. In their origin in the absurdities and abominations of their ! religious faith in their persecutions from i place to place in their rapid multiplication i by reinforcements from all parts cf the ci, ill- j icu worm uuu ujeir asionisning persever-; ance, industry and success, the creed, the prophet, and the followers of Mormondom, are, in may respects, without a parallel in the I rustory ot religious delusions. Certainly, the most extraordinary anomaly of modern times is lue kingdom ot lue .Mormon cniet an im- , penum tn impeno an estaoiisument ot po I lygamy of the epoch of Jacob and Esau ia ; ,Jr-lthe midst of the institutions of the highest' of that terra incognita of the Great Desert Ba- : sin. iSy relereoce to Lis reports ot that, and of all his subsequent expkiatkns, and upon referring to the reports of all other travellers, I official and unofficial, in that region, from that dav to this, it will be seen that these crickets and grasshoppers are among the fixed natural institutions of Utah From time immemorial the native Indians have been accustomed to regard them as part of their subsistence. ' They make cakes of grasshoppers and crick-; ets. They drive them into trenches with a ' hot fire at the bottom, where their wings and j legs are burned off, and they are roasted after j the fashion of the locusts of Africa. These t American insects thus bear the same relation. I J .1 . -! , ; ana serve me same purposes to me wua na-; tive tribes, as the locusts of the deserts of; Asia and Africa in their respective localities. They are a bar to the cultivation of the soil; ! they exist where there is no soil for cultivation, snd where animal hfe is limited to insects and

reptile, and they are all eaten from necessity. The Utah grasshopper is the African locust of a smaller size, and the Digger Indian is but a lower type of the desert Arab. The forced exodus of the Mormons from Illinois, aad their long and dreadful journey to the Great Salt Lake, took place in 1845. and our readers will remember that their first crops, upon which the advanced guard of the colony and the mai.n body of the ommuTii'y ia the rear, depended for the ensuing winter, were assailed bv the crickets ereat sro;;-
