TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 7, 1854
To-Day |

To-day, five additional States Of the Free
North pronounce judgement upon the doings Of
Franklin Picrce's Administration, in connec-
tion with its determined and partially forcible
measure to introduce Slavery into territory
heretofore free-free through the binding obli-
cations of a compact of thirty years standing
and until the "New Lights which burst upon
Douglas and his abettors last winter. considered
as sacred as the good old ordinance of 1857, or
even the constitution ITSELF To-day, New
York. New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois and our
hopeful and prosperous neighbor adjacent,
Wisconsin, will send back to the compact break,
ers their several opinions of the act which al
ready Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Penn
sylvania. Ohio and Indiana have placed their
seals Of condemnation upon, in manner the
most decided that has occurred in the: annals
of our glorious confedracy.
We have no fears of the result in any ofthese
States to-day. Not even in Illinois, will the
great mover in compact breaking be able to
sustain himself. In the other States, particu-
larly in New York, are his chances even less.
In about week from now, we expect to have
news anything but refreshing to the Pierce
and Douglas people of Minnesota.

Freaks of ss FinaMcie rs"

| The Times of yesterday morning informs the
public. that among other solvent Bank paper
thrown out by the banking house of Borup &
Oakes, st. Paul, is the paper of all the Ohio
Stock Banks-otherwise known as the Free
Banks Of that State. There is little of this
paper in circulation in Minnesota-in fact it is
OF too good character to take its chances out
rency" which, for the time, has the upper
hand' of responsible Eastern and Western pa
per money.
The issues of the Ohio Stock Banks are amp
ly secured, dollar for dollar, by the deposit of
United States and Ohio State Stock. erclusiue-
ly-no other species OF stocks being admissible
under the law.
On the other hand, the ESQ called) State Bank
ofOhio, which paper is still taken by Borup &
Oakes, is based solely upon the individual ere
dit of those who manage it. This money is is
sued upon the same principle that rules in the
charters of the Banks of the New England
States. The Branches are Independent of each
other and are only liable for the redemption of
each others paper, in case of failures to redeem
at the particular counter from whence the de-
preclatcd issue was made. The State of Ohio
has not dollar of interest in the institution
or rather the combination of institutions and
should every one of the branches choose to
close their doors to-day, the public would have
no recourse in law to secure the gold and sill
yer for the notes, except through the solvency
of the bank stocks and assets. and the honesty
of those who manage the different branches.
We do not wish, in the least. to disparage the
credit of the State Bank paper of Ohio. We
believe, and feel assured, there will lie no fail
urcs in that quarter. We have every reason to
believe this paper worthy of all confidence.
But, how wcll-informed bankers here can dis
credit the Independent Banks of Ohio. whose
issues are secured, dollar for dollar, by the de-
posit Of Ohio State and United States Stocks,
, and give preference over them to this nomi-
nal estate Bank paper, we are at q loss to
conceive. We presume it is all in the way of
business BSt the public must be the sufferers
by this course; and We particularly caution
those who hold Ohio State Stock paper, not to
be so foolish as to sacrifice it On account of the
BULL of Borup & Oakes, issued through the
Times. There has been no whisper of failure
from any quarter In regard to any of these Ohio
State Stock Banks.
Indiana Free Banks will be just as good in
few days, without doubt.

The Battle of Alma,

The regular correspondent Of the London
Morning Chronicle, who was on this sanguina-
ry field of BATTLE gives graphic description OF
the engagement and the incidents connected
Herewith. We give a few extracts, the entire
account being too long for our columns. The
reception the British met with before crossing
the river, and the subsequent conflict is thus
described:
The Russians opened furious fire on the
whole Of our line, but the French had not yet
made progress enough to justify us in advanc-
ing. The round shot whlZzed in every direc-
tion, dashing up the dirt and sand into the
faces of the staff of Lord Raglan, who were also
shelled severely. and attracted much of the en-
emy's fire. Still Lord Raglan waited patient
ly for the development Of the French attack.
At length an aid-de-camp came to him and re-
ported the French had crossed the Alma, but
they had established themselves sufficient to
Justify us in an attack. The infantry were,
therefore ordered to lie down. and the army for
short time was quite passive, only that our
artillery poured forth an unceasing fire of shell,
rockets aud round shot, which piOughe,l
through the Russians, and caused them great
loss. They did not waver however, and re-
piled to our artillery manfully, their shot fall
ling among our men as they lay, and carrying
Oft legs and arms at every round. Lord Rag
Ian at last became weary of this inactivity-his
spirit was up-he looked around, saw men on
whom be knew he might stake the honor and
fate of Great Britain by his side, and anticipat.
ing little, in military point of view, the cri-
sis of action, he gave orders for our whole line
to advance. Up rose the serried masses, and
passing through fearful shower of round, case
shot, and shell, they dashed into the Alma, and
:. foundered' through its waters, which were
literally torn into foam by the deadly hail. Al
the other side of the river were a number o
Vineyards and to our surprise they we're occu-
pied by Russian rihcmen. Three OF the staff
were here shot down, but led by Lord Raglan
in person, they advanced cheering on the men
And now came the turning point Of the battle
| in which Lord Raglan, by his sagacity and mil

smaller sacrifice than would have been other
wise the case. He dashed over the bridge. fol

DOUGLAS IN GAI.ENA.-Ihe Jetfersonian, after
noticing that Doug g.as-the recreant Senator,
we refer to-was received upon his recent ad-
vent into Galena with the firing of cannon, and
that he made the old stereotyped speech, which
the Jeffersonian reviews without mercy. con-
cludes its reference to the Senator and the oc-
casion with these remarks:
In manner, Mr.. Douglas has considerably i'm
proved since two years have passed; the afflic-
tions of his friends in all the States in which
elections have been held since the Nebraska
bill passed, have chastened him down to a bear
able point. He has forgotten the swagger that
distinguished him in 1852 and he is nearer the
dignity which should be inseparable from a
member of the high body to which he belongs
but as his manner improves. his matter grows
worse. We have probably heard him in Ga
lena for the last time. The next Legislature
will instruct him into a sense of duty to his
State and from his place in the Senate, he will
doubtless go to his plantation in the South to
spend the remainder Of his days. The firing o
cannon, frequent expedient to raise drowned
men to the surface, will, though never so often
repeated, fail when fired for him. Were mill
stone banged about his neck, he could not sinh
deeper.
