THE WAR In CIRCASSlA.

striking piece of news is that of the great
battle between the Russians and Circassans, at
the town of Dargo, in which 5000 Russians,
with three generals, forty subordinate officers
and three aides-de-camp to the commander-in-
chief, Prince WorenZoff, were slain. The Rus
sian army consisted Of $4,000 strong. Notwth-
standing they drove the Circassans from Dargo,
who made safe retreat with their artillery and
baggage into their mountains, they, in turn, were
compelled to retire TO Tihis--a town i'm Georgia,
south Of the Caucasian rapge-to repair DANA
ges, &c. IL the ammunition of the Circasslans
had not failed, they would probably have totally
defeated the Russians. 1t is possible the result
10 the CZar's troops has been worse than is re-
presented, as the news comes by the way of
Odessa, Russian port.
Dargo is not on the map, but supposed TO be
in the mountains, near the southern border Of
Circassia and that the present Russian cam
paign is carried against the Circassians
through Georgia on the south, while they are
probably leading other forces against them on
the north. Their position, their contumacy and
bravery remind one strongly Of the WEIGH. For
centuries, the Circassans, like them, have main
tanned their mountain Independence against all
the Kingdoms of the world-from the Greeks,
Romans, Turks, and Russians, down to the pre-
sent time. They have at times, as now, been
hard pressed and were by the Turks and Tar
taTs once forced into nominal submission. Yet,
in point of faot, they remained as independent as
ever. There is distinct and conquered race in
Circassia, inhabidng portion of country near
the Black Sea, called the AJasses, which the Cir
cassians, at remote period, conquered and re-
duced to servitude These, about the year 1855,
revolted-many Of them passing over to the Rus
SLAMS. The Circassian princes soon after were
forced by the Cur ICdn VdssaHeUich to yield
nominal submission but in reality, it resulted in
no change to their independence whatever. Ever
since that period, Russia has aimed at the con-
quest Of the country. Her main purpose being
to open a permanent and safe passage through
the Caucasian mountains from her vast northern
dominions TO the central plains of Asia and
Staunton spectator, and general advertiser. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 183?-1849, 1845-10-30

fiom whence, IL disposed, she could easily push
on TO British India. Hence England has always
regarded this Circassian war, on the part Of Rus
sia, with much jealousy, and has been suspected
by Russia OF secretly aiding the Circassians in
their brave and fatal resistance.
There are only two passes, bearing north and
south through the Caucasus, called gates. The
main one-and, indeed, the only one which is
considered useful for the passage Of the troops
Is the one cut by the Isreek, called the "gate of
Caucasus" 1t is vast ravine cut by the action
OF the water near the base Of the Kesback, the
highest peak Of the range. The commencement
oil the cleft on the south is 1000 feet it contin-
ues TO rise, till, at the neck of the pass, it is
5000 feet above the level Of the sea. Perpendi-
cular walls Of porphyry and slate rise to the
height OF 5000 feet on either side, while awful
abysses open below, on either hand-to the
| depth, 1t is sand, in some instances, of IL, 900
iee.! Avalanches are frequent, which often not
only carry oil passengers, but sweep away the
road itself. The melting of the SHOWS in spring
are also destructive, rendering the pass extremely
dangerous.
Russia, in order to gain pretext for carrying
on her cut-throat war, in the treaty made with
the Turks at Adrianople, in 1880, had a clause
inserted by which Turkey agreed to reinquist
(what she never held) the whole of Caucasus
10 Russia, including Circassia. From that time
to this, one powerful army after another, consist.
ing OF thousands and tens of thousands, have
been led against the indomitable Circassians
lighting for their homes-to be as often defeated

ANOTHER WHO VICTORY,

The news from the Ohio Election Is good.
Locoiocoism is defeated, and the ascendency in
the State Legislature preserved to the Wings.
to whom the returns are favorable beyond expec.
tation. The Senate is safe for the Wings. and
several members have been gained by them in
the House of Representatives. The popular vote,
so far. is greatly in their favor. Hear what the
Ohio State Journal says of it:--Nai. mi.
"Delaware county rolls up 400 or 500 maiori-
ty; Marion, unexpectedly, gives Wing maiori-
~; Montgomery gives an increase of more than
one hundred over the Presidential election; Mus-
kingum rolls up 500; Shelby gives gain of $50
since the Presidential election; Belmont gives a
gain of more than one hundred; Greene gives be-
tween LOO and 200 to the Wing Senator, being
large Wing gain. On the other hand, in Fair.
field the Locofoco majority is cut down from
1,l00 to 300; Butler is cut down from ! 400
to 400; Knox is cut down from GOO to 200; and,
to crown the whole, Licking changes Locofo-
CO majority Of $40 to Wing majority Of between
two and four hundred! Whatever may be the
result in the rest of the State, these facts speak
for themselves, and say to the whole country
that ONO 10 WING STATE! She takes her

SENATORIAL CANVASS,

G-SAMuRL McD. MOORE, esq. addressed the
people of this county at the Courthouse on Mon

him, on account of certain sentiments expressed
by him in some numbers published in the Lex

Man, especially those in favor of a division of
the S,ate-he said he was aware tina, they were
not concurred in by the people of the District,
and that no would not presume to act upon them,
if elected to the Senate.
Dr. JOHN X. Moore, Of this county, also made
some remarks, and announced himself as candi.

sldera,ion the propriety of holding a District Con.

necessary. We hope this may be so; but We

DEERFlELD osr-oFFICE RESTORED

We received letter on Monday from the Hon.
CAVE JOHNSON, Postmaster General, in conse-
quence of the paragraph in our last paper in re-
latlon to the discontnuance of the Deerfied Post
Office, which verfes the impression we then
expressed that there had been some mistake or
misunderstanding about the matter. 1t appears
that letter written by Mr.. Guy, the Postmaster,
to the Department, some two months ago, was
regarded as resignation of his office, (though
not so intended by him y and the Postmaster
General, after making inquiry through Mr.. TAy-
LoR, the Representative of this District in Con-
gress, for suitable person to take the office,
without success, saw no alternative but to dis
continueit. We are gratified to bo able to state,
therefore, that the Office has been re.estabished
and MIR. Guy re-appointed Postmaster.

THE NEWS AND THE MARKET.

The intelligence received by the Hibernia,
which arrived at Boston on the 10Th, had the ef-
feet of unsettling the Market for Bread -stuffs.-
The adyices from England are to the 18th, and al
though the newspapers still give unfavorable ac-
counts of the harvest, the letters received by mer-
chants do not entirely corroborate them. There
had been decline of shilling per quarter, OH
account of the supplies of Flour received from
abroad, and the favorable reports sent over from
this country.
The influence of the news by the Hibernia
upon the Flour market in New York was TO de.
press the price from 1918 to which it had risen
to $500 and $3.50. This, however, is still bet.
ter than reported in our last paper, as the effect Of
the intelligence by the Great Britain. At most
therefore, it may BIO regarded as the evidence oil
a cautious spirit on the part of dealers. There
is no doubt now, we think, that there will be a
considerable demand in England for our bread
stufs.

MORE OF THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

The following resolutions, adopted by Wing
Convention recently held at Carthage, Ohio
breathe the true Wing spirit. In the language Of
the noble Clay, "Let US never despair of the Re-
public" but fight on, struggle on-and if success
shall at last fail US, and the most free and glor
Gus institutions which have ever been vouch
safed to man be destined to fall before the disor
ganzng and destructive principles of Locofoco-
ism-we, at least, shall DO innocent:
Resoired. That the name of WIG is, in the
history of our country and the lineage of our an.
cestors, a name honorable among men-associa-
ted with the love of liberty-distinguished fol
resistance against despotism-admrable for wha,
it has done, and to be desired for what it would
do.
Resolred, That to the brave there is no despair
that the hour of adversely should be the hour OF
effort; and that, as the Wings Of the Revolution
conquered all obstacles, and became victorious
In defeat, so we, like them, will continue to
struggle tor our country, and, trying to deserve
success, look forward with hope and confidence
from disastrous past to a glorious future.
