intended attack upon it.
At seven O'Clock in the morning on the 5th

bombardment was directed from the land bat
tories, as we'll as from some gun-b0ats, under
the command of Admiral Pluniridge, against
tho fortress, which, however, returned very
spirited, though less effective, fire, especially
on account of the smaller calibre of the Rus
SIAN cannons and mortars, compared with
part of the English and French-some Of the
English mortars, especially, were Of very heavy
calibre-from which shells were thrown, caus-
ing, within short time, the greatest destruc-
ton, and making several breaches, especially
in the tower In which the Russians had their
chief powder magazine. This tower was ct
last blown in the air; but whether by the fire
of the French and English, or by the Russians
themselves, seems very doubtful, on account oil
the contradictory reports relative to this event
The French fought with the greatest impet
uosity and bravery, and were several times on
the point Of capturing the fortress that very

remained unshaken, it was able to repulse al

THE DIsCUsSIoN-oLDS USED UP.

On Tuesday afternoon we went out to CamJ
Charlotte TO hear the discussion between Mr.. Gal
lowav and DIR. Olds. There were not as many pco
pie present rs We wish there had Iccn, and we
doubt not there were more than the DIR. and his
friends desired to see there. When we arrived at
the ground Dr. Olds was already at work making his
speech, and we must confess we were disappointed
We had supposed that he had some little regard
for his own reputation, if he has none for the good
sense of the people. One would have supposed
from the tenor OF his remarks, that he was address
ing an audience of Shareholders instead Of one
composed of liberty loving Buckeyes. So far did
he carry his remarks that he was finally obliged
to apologize, by saying that he did not wish to bC

which lie demolished the Doctor completely.
We will not pretend to follow them i'll their afgt

every turn, and completely answered every point
made by the Doctor. Mr. Galloway ably vindica

North, Of the Nebraska swindle.
Aftjr Mr.. Galloway concluded his remarks, th
doctor followed him in speech of fifteen minutes
which closed the discussion. When he arose t
reply it was very evident that he felt beaten. 10
he was very much excited with anger, aud his re
joindcr was made up Of one vulgar story and
futile attempt to msreprcsent and rdicule Nj
Galloways remarks. But it was a vain effort
The doctor was so badly beaten that he suHcrc

SKETCH OF JUDGECRAFT IN ALL AGES:


From Senator summers speech before the Republican
Convention at Worcester September Z
For myself let me say that | hold judges, and
especially the Supreme Court of the country, in
much respect; but am too familiar with the history
of judicial proceedings to regard them with any
superstitious reverence. Sensation Judges
are but men ; and in all ages have shown n full
share of human fraIty. Alas alas the worst
crimes of history have boen perpetrated under
their sanctions The blood of martyrs and of pa
triots, crying from the ground, summons them to
judgement. 1t was II judicial tribunal which con-
demned Socrates to drink the fatal hcmlock, and
which pushed the Savior barefoot over the pave.
ments Of Jerusalem, bending beneath his cross.
1t was n judicial tribunal which, against the testi-
mony and entreates of her father, surrendered
the fair Virginia us a slave; which arrested the
teachings of the great apostle to the Gentiles and
sent him in bonds from Judea to Rome which, in
the name of the old religion, adiudged the saints
and fathers of the Christian church to death, in
all its most dreadful forms; and which, afterwards
in the name of the new religion, enforced the tor
lures of the Inqusition, amidst the shricks aht
agonies of its victims, while it compelled Galiec
to declare in solemn denial Of the great truth he
had disclosed, that the earth did not move rount
the sun. 1t a judicial tribunal which, il
France, during the long reign of her monarchs
lent itself to be the instrument of every tyranny
during tho brief reign Of terror it did not hest
tate to stand forth the Implying accessory of the
Implying guilotine.
Aye, sir, it was judicial tribunal in England
surrounded by all the forms of law, which sane
toned every despotic caprice Of Henry the Eighth,
from the unjust divorce of his queen to the be-
heading of Sir Thomas More; which lighted the
fires of persecution that glowed at Oxford and
Smithfeld over the cinders Of Latimer Ridley
and John Rogers (which, after elaborate argument
upheld the fatal tyranny of ship money against
tile patriot resistance Of lIampden which in de-
fance of justice and humanity sent Sidney and
Russell to the block which persistently enforced
the laws of conformity that our Puritan fathers
persstently refused to- obey; and which afterwards,
with Jefreys on the bench, crimsoned the pages of
English history with massacre and murder-even
with the blood of innocent women. And it was n
judicial tribunal in our country, surrounded by
all the forms of law, which hung witches at Salem
which affirmed the constitutonally Of the Stamp
Act, while it admonished Jurors and the people,
to obey--and which now, in our day, has lent its
sanction to the unuttcrable atrocty of the Fugitive
Slave Bill. [Long-continued applause, and three
cheers for Sumner.

A COLORED PHYSICIAN.

We copy the following from the Boston cores
pondcnt of the Lldependem:-
81 think you will checrfulIy insert some facts in
regard to DR.. De Grasse, colorcd physician Of
this city, lately admitted in due form a member of
the Massachusetts Medical Society," 1t is the
first instance of such honor being conferred upon
colored man in this State, at least, and probably
in the country; and therefore it deserves particu-
lar notice, both because the means by which he has
reached this distinction are creditable to his own
intelligence and perseverance, and because others
Of his class may be stimulated to seek an elevation
which has hitherto been thought unattanable by
men of color. The Dr. is q native of New York
City, where he was born June, 1925 and where he
spent his time in private and public schools till 1910
He then entered the Oneida Institute Beriah Green
President, and spent year; but as Latin was
not tanght there he left and entered the Clinton
Seminary, where he remained two years, intending
to enter college in the fall of 1913. lie was turned
from this purpose however, BY the pcrsuasions of
friend in France; and after spending two years
in a college in that country he returned to New
York i'll Nov, 1915, and commenced the study of
medicine with Dr. Samuel Il. Childs, of that city.
There he spent two years in patient and diligent
study, and then two more in attending the medical
lectures of Bowdoin College, Me. Leaving that
institution with honor in May 1919 he went again
to Europe in the autumn of that year, and spent
considerable time in the hospitals IF Paris travel.
ing at intervals through parts Of France, England
italy and Switzerland. Returning home in the
ship Samuel Fog in the capacity of surgeon he
was married in August, 1852, and since that time
he has practiced medicine in this city. Earning a
good reputation here by his diligence and skill he
was admitted Il member of the Medical Society, as
above stated, on the Odd Of last month. Many of
our most respectable physicians visit and advise
with him whenever counsel is required. The Bos-
ton me lical profession, 1t must be acknowledged,
has done itself honor in thus dscarding the law OF
caste, and generously acknowledging real merit
without regard to the hue of the skin. And the
facts here stated may suggest to coored young
men that, by making the most of their talents and
opportunities, they may rise superior to circum-
stances, compel respect and confidence aud fill
stations Of honor and eminence much oftener than
they have done, or perhaps they have thought it
possible to do."

NATIoNAuzING SLAvERY.-The Columbia rs. C.)
Times, and the Charleston Mercury, are calling for
the negotiation Of treaty with Great Britain for
the surrender of fugitive Slaves! They say 'as
the matter now stands, the fugitive Slave law is a
positive injury to the South" Therefore, means
must be taken to break up the refuge afforded by
Canada to runaway negroes The argument is, the
object of government is to protect property, and
every government has a right to define what shall
constitute property. The constitution of the Uni

Gen. CAss.-At late Democratic meeting in
Detroit, Gen. CAss made a speech, in course of

the Senate of the United States in opposition to
slavery which have been distateful to the South,

ONE THOUSAND PEOPLE COMING.

We hone our citizens will not he surprised at
this announcement, for it is nothing more than
might have been expected when the notice was
given that three hundred persons were about to
visit our Territory on pleasure excursion. 9th
ers, actuated by curiosity, or the hope OF invest
inr their money to advantage here, have been in
duced to accompany the first party, and we may
therefore expect the largest company OF human
beings that ever consregated for pleasure ex-
cursion.
Five boats in all have been chartered, viz: The
Galena, Golden Era, War Eagle, Lady Franklin
and Sparhaw. Each cannot contain less than
two hundred and several of them will bring three
hundred persons, so that we may safely calculate
on one thousand additional individuals being pre-
sent with us, on Saturday the 10th of June. I'm
der these circumstances what are we to do?-
Simply for every citizen to use his best exertions
to give them cordial reception. Let us take
hold of the matter encrgctically, and feel as
though each one had particular duty to per-
form Don't stand back. Be prompt. Com
mence now. The influence the visit of ono thou
sand persons will have upon our city and terrific
~ is incalcuabc. The credit of our business
men will be made stronger, for, if capitalists see
that there is field here, and that we are worthy
Of success, they will have more confidence in
usas people, and less fear of our failure. The
city and territory will be brought into notice
talked about, written about-sung over for the
next twelve months to come. Our climate, SOIL,
productions, &C., will be the theme of CONVEX
sasion in many an Eastern home; and thus an
expendiatnrc Of n few hundred dollars to receive
our guests, will be worth u million to us in the
end.
We think the Common Council should take
hold of the matter, and aided by the citizens, per-
feet arrangements as early as possible. Our
friends at St. Anthony are willing and eager to
corporate, and will do what they can to show the
''civilzed world" that Minnesota is composed OF
a population not backward in those amenities OF
life which tend to make our intercourse with oul
fellow men so pleasant, and in this instance VIC
hope profitable.

VENTILArING RAILROAD Cause.-The Chicago
Free Press states that an invention for excluding
dust from Railroad cars and emitting pure air,
has recently been tried on the Michigan Southern
Railroad, and found eficacious. The invention
is by DR.. Foote.
We saw an invention on the Naugatuc Conn
Railroad last fall, that answered the purpose of
excluding dust from and emitting pure air into
railroad cars. We are glad to notice that anoth-
er invention has been brought out, and we hope
they both will answer the purpose for which they
are intended, for Of all the disagreeables person
experiences in travelling, it is dust, heat and smoke
in a railroad car.

Arrival Of the North Siar-Safety of Col. Fremont.

NEW YORK, May ~.
The steam North Star, from Aspinwall, ar
rived this afternoon. She brings 700 passengers
and $4,000 in gold. The shipments from San
Francisco OH the first of the month, were by the
steamer Panama $4,000 and by the Cortex ST.
%, 900.
There continues to be rumors about Senate
rial election at this season.
The Legislature adjourned on the 18th.
About 30 persons were killed by the explosion
of the steamer Secretary.
On the Goth Col. Fremont arrived from his mid
winter survey Of the Central Railroad route in
latitude 81. A report given by Col. Rabbit Of
the suiierings Of the party was much exaggerated,
he lost only one man. Col. Fremont reports the
route very favorable--only inches Of snow in
the main path of the Rocky Mountains. He says
that the Parowan Basin route cannot follow lat
titude 81, but must turn southward as FAR as sc
to cross the Sierra Nevada, or mast 90 north as
far as Mobiles Pass in Al Latitude. His report
will contain much impo:, ant information.
The wheat crop mas attracted much attention
Fears have been entertained that it would be
much too large for the demand, but this is not
prCuable---the number of acres in wheat in the
State is about $4,000, which, at 80 bushels to the
acre, would yield one and half barrels to each
inhabitant
