CHARGE or JUDGE CURTIS.

BosroN, Oct. 16.-At the opening of the
United States Circuit Court this morning,
Judge Curtis charged the grand jury, first
in respect to the attempted rescue of Burns,
and next in regard to the numerous steam
boat accidents, stating that notwithstanding
the precautionary laws passed by Congress,
not single person guilty of negligence had
been convicted or punished.
lie held that the laws on this subject
should be vigorously enforced, though the
American people were to blame in desiring
speed rather than safety.
lie also referred to the laws in force against
fllibustering expeditions, saying that since
the days of Washington such expeditions had
by law been declared high misdemeanor.
1t is understood that complaints will be
made to this grand jury against certain per-
sons who spoke at Faueiul Hall, for being
accessory TO the attack upon the Courthouse,
the death of Mr.. Batcbelder,and the attempt
ed rescue of Burns,

Noble sentiment. rlaqusnlly spoken.


At a recent Commencement Of the Virginia
Military Institute an address was delivered By
benjamin. johnson Barbour, Esq, which has
the true ring Of Virginia eloquonce, joined with
noble avowal Of practical truths which are
not often brought sufficiently forward By the
orators Of the Old Dominion. We subjoin an
extract:-
3And we Re7e come to ask you, among other
things, to DO what fear too many Of our legis-
lators have failed to do-to spread the map Of
Virginia before you--to trace out not only her
dotted boundaries and her penciled shores, but
to study her condition her wants and her re-
sources-to bend your head to catch the plead
ings Of her feeble voice, and then with noble
resolution and high resolve, here, in the purer
atmosphere, and amid our graiider scenery, to
consecrate yourselves to her service. And here
let me entreat you in all kindness and confidence
to commence your life of duty by casting of or
repclling that false pride too common in our
State, which is prone rather to exact than to
render honor hope and believe that the day
Of morbid thinking and miserable working is
past-tbat the time is at hand when the Youths
Of Virginia will deem it no degradation to earn
an honorable independence in the cause Of their
State by the strength Of their own good right
arps-will believe that idleness is not merito-
rious, and labor not humiliating- an en-
Drowned check is no derogation from the gentle.
man, and that darkened hand may be but the
surer pledge Of warmer heart. If you value
the nobler parts Of the Virginia character, its
nobility Of soul, its scorn of meanness, its high
toned honor, and all those other social and moral
qualities which have so long adorned it-quali-
ties that its enemies have pretended to deride,
but before which they have ever stood abashed
If you would preserve and transmit these you
must carly learn that their true basis is indie
pendence. You must learn to seek other roads
to wealth and fame than in the walks Of over
crowded professions, or along the precarious and
slippery paths Of politics, Do not think have
come to read you hoinily against ambition /
would myself suspect the sincerity Of any man
who would proclaim himself insensible to the
good opinion of his fellow-men. There is much
truth in the old scholastic aphorism, that he
who lives wholly detached from his kind, must
be either an angel or a devil. But what would
impress upon you, is, first, that however gilt
tering the prize, tisbut false ambition which
does not hold selfrespect far above any Office in
popular or governmental gift and secondly, that
if office in the only form in which you should
accept it, is withheld, if it be not offered with
out solicitation, and won without Gishonor, it is
still in your power without talent and perseye-
renee, to gain high and enduring distinctions
such as midnight eaucusses cannot give nor
scheming politicians take away

BARN BURNED.

We learn from the Republican that the
barn, together with grain, gears, &c, Of Mr..
John G. Manor, near Johns ontown, in this
County, was destroyed by fire on Wcdnes-
day evening last The barn was accidental
" set on fire by little boy, 4 or 5 years
old, of Mr.. Samuel Hedges, who was remain
ing with Mr.. Manor few days preparatory
to going west. An empty match box had
been given the child, who finding some
matches in the mill went into the barn to
play. IN a short time afterwards the fire
was discovered, and but for the timely dis
covory the child would have fallen victim
to his own thoughtlessness as he had latched
himself inside, and was unable to get out
without assistance

The Cunard steamer Niagara arrived at Hall
fax on the 25th ultimo, with London and Liver
pool dates to the l4th instant. The adyices by
this arrival state that at the last accounts from
the scat of war Sebastopol was completely IN
vested by the troops of the Allies ON the south
and east, while the guns Of their fleets and bat
teries were playing upon the walls of the for
tresses. The fleets, however, according to one
account, were comparatively useless, and the
marines attached to them had been united with
the land forces Prince MENsCHIKoFF was
keeping the field on the north Of the city, daily
expecting the arrival Of Gen. OsTENsAoKEN and
Gen. GoRTscHAKoFF with reinferccments. They
were expected to join him before the 18th ult.
Seven Russian ships-of-the-lne had been sunk
ut the mouth Of the harbor of Sebastopol, and
the remainder of Russian fleet was held ready
for sinking.
1t is supposed that the siege artillery of the
Allies was mounted in battery around Sebasto-
pol on the 4th inst. The bombardment COM
menced on the 9Th. and the assault was expected
on the Sth. The Allied trenches were within
sixteen hundred yards Of the walls, and noun
ted fifty guns. A private despatch says that
two breaches were made in the walls on the 9Th
and another says that no bombardment had ta-
ken place as late as the 8th The whole coun-
try north of Sebastopol had been evacuated by
the Allies
The Allies had destroyed the aqucduct which
supplied the fortress, and had landed coo cav
airy on the Crimea.
The inhabitants Of Odessa have given pledge
to burn that place rather than to allow it to fall

The town of MemG was nearly destroyed by
fire, involving a loss of e2,000,000.

and the Allies at ninety thousand, including the
seamen.
