Important Foreign Items.

We find the following important foreign items of news telegraphed to Cleveland, that were brought by the steamer Asia:
 A Constantinople letter says 1t is believed to be the intention of the commander-in chief of the Anglo-French expidition to the East, to carry the war into the heart of Russia, and to raise an instruction in Crimea and Circassia as soon as Soukene Minor, have been bombarded by troops near Sebastopol, which at the same time would be bombarded by sea-
 A report was current in Liverpool, that the city of Glasgow had foundered at sea, and that her crew and passengers had been conveyed to the coast of Africa. The report is said to have been received by gentleman in Londonderry from one of the passengers.
 Four hundred houses were destroyed bv fire at Constantinople on the 4th Prince Napoleon, with his officers, moved in person to- extnguish the flames.
 Twenty Russian ships have been captured since the bombardment of Odessa
 The Emperor Napoleon is reported to have expressed his decided dsapprobation of the American design on Cuba, and to have declared that his policy would be the same in the West as in the East and by a faithful observance of treaties And that he was opposed to any at- tempt on the part of any power to take advan. tage of the weakness of any enemy, or deprive him of his rights.
 Fifty thousand Russian troops are on the march from St. Petersburg towards w Warsaw.
 Eighteen thousand Russian troops have beer put hors du combat by the epidemic on the Do. brudscha

The Nebraska Bill.

! Upon this question the Arkansas Whig has taken position not only hostile to the best n- terests of the South, but in direct opposition to the leaders and large majority of the whig party. When 1t commenced its war upon the democrats for repeating the Missouri compro- mise it seems neither to h%e considered the merits of the question or the part its own party took in regard to it. The repeal of the Mis- souri compromise originated with the South and was forced by whig Senator upon the coun- try. Mr. Dickson, the whig Senator from Ken lucky, moved 1t in an amendment to Mr. Doug las N Nebraska bill, and the whole South, with but two exceptions, one whig and one demo- crat, united in support of it. It was not made party question, and upon the final passage of the Nebraska bill through both houses of Con- gress, the greatest rejoicing prevailed in both parties.
 But the Whigis not satisfied Almost solita- ry and alone it stands aloof from the general rejoicing, croaker of evil. Its own party in this State have refuesd it their confidence and have declined to nominate candidate to he the exponent of such views as the Whig puts forth.
 With the exception of few leaders its own party in this county condemns its course.- They firmly believe in the great principle of local self-government, and they believe in di- vorcing from Congress the slavery agitation by transferring the question to the people them selves. They appreciate the motives and the views of the whig Senator from Kentucky when he asked, in open Senate, the repeal of the Missouri compromise and the oblteration of the great black line which has so long di- vided the North and the South
 The Whig did not repeat its statement that the question of the admission or prohibition of slavery was left to all the inhabitants of the territory not ercepting ugitive szaves and free me- groes.
 It is in the habit of boastng of its veracitv. and the confidence reposed by the public in its word. How does it suppose the public will swallow this free negro statement Has it got proof to sustain its assertions, or does it still believe it's word sufficient to give currency to the islander? We should like to hear from it again upon the Nebraska bill. The subject is not yet exhausted

Death of Dr. Cunningham.

Our old citizens are rapidly passing away Last V elk we announced the death of Col Samuel w. Reyburn, one of the pioneers of this State, and now it is our sad duty to record the death of another -DFXEDI
 Dr. MATHEW CUNNINGHAM, aged 75 years, and who was at the time of his death, the ol- dest resident of this place, died on the evening of the 14th inst. His remains were followed to the grave by his brothers in Free Masonry and large concourse of mourning relatives and l friends
 Dr. Cunningham was born in Philadelphia, where, at an early period of life, he acquired knowledge of the medical science, under the celebrated Dr. Rush. with whom he afterwards became associated with as a practitioner- Prompted by the aspiration to high profess sional attainment, he relinquished this auspi- cious connection and made the tour of Europe, visiting the hospitals and institutions of learn ing in the various countries through which he travelled, and amassing an astonishing amout of valuable information, of which, through long professional life, his active and retentive mind enabled him to make the most happy use.- Returning to the United States, he located in New Orleans and several years afterwards in New York, whence he removed, in 1919, to this place.
 Here until within few years past he was constantly engaged in an active and laborous practice and only withdrew from 1t, when, through the infrmaties of age, the body failed in its subserviency to mental capacity, ripe in experience and undiminished in vigor. Pro- fesslonally he had, in his day and community, no superior; and to the knowledge of theory, added the fruits of long observation and expe- rience, together with safe practical under standing of local or climatic diseases.
 A citizen liberal and just-a friend generous and true-in all the domestic relationships du- tiful and kind. He has passed away in theful ness of years, in the consolation of a firm rel- gious faith, and with the remembrance of his virtues indelibly impressed upon the hearts of those who knew him and must follow after.
 We would suggest as consolatory to those who weep, the circumstances of his death and their own religious duty. He is now enjoying the fruition of his earthly hope.
 We shall go to him. but he will not return to us"
