Private accounts in the Moniteur newspaper con-
tain the French narrative of the affair to October 30
On the 25th ut 900 Russians attacke the French
division of the army in the rear, which was defend
ed by the Turks from redoubts the Russians took
possession of. The English then commenced an
attack, and sent word to Gen. Caurobert, who has
tened with his second division and squadron OF Chas-
seurs to the relief of the united French and English
cavalry.
The enemy repulsed by brilliant charge,
in which hand combat with swords was sustained
for five minutes. The positions reclaimed with
an English loss of only 400 and the French loss was
not so great.
Menschikoff, says General Leprande, took four
doubts, two of which he destroyed but the other
two he retained and fortified.
The Russians estimate the loss of the English ca
valry at 500. Sixty English prisoners were taken
from Odessa, and an assault was looked for by the
besieged on the night of the 2Sth.
On the 1st of November, the siege of the works
had far advanced, that third parallel was opened
MenSchikoff reports UlG st. PeterSburgh, that to
the evening of the 4th of November, the siege had
continued, but without any material result. The
fire from the English had become weaker; and the
damage done to the Russian works was not much.
Nothing, it is said can be attempted against the
northern side of Sebastopol Communication remains
open and unobstructed. .
An English report says the city of Sebastopol is
in ruins-that the unburied corpses poison the air
and that the commanders of the allied armies had
refused Menschikotf three hours to bury his
dead.
The Russian loss since the commencement of the
siege is estimated at 12, 900.
The English assert that Menschikoff had hoisted
the hospital flag the principal magazine in the
place a decoy;" but they, the English, fired
shell into it, and tremendous explosion followed.
5 An Admiralty notice announces that next spring
strict blocade of the mouth of the Danube will be
enforced also all the Russian ports on the Black
Sea, Sea of Azof Baltic and White Seas. The Paris
Moniteur has very conciliatory editorial on the
subject.
On Saturday, at London, Geographic despatch
received from Marseilles, which says, that it
certain in an action at Baaklava, the 25th, con-
sequent on Russian surprise of the Turkish and
English position four hundred British Infantry, and
six hundred British Cavalry, were totally annihila
ted. Eight hundred horses acre killed The Rus
sions, said took only sixty prisoners, the rest
all killed.
Out of six hundred British Light Infantry that
were engaged, only 1913 returned and out of 500
English cavalry that engaged, only 200 retur-

almost totally destroyed.

DREADFUL DEATH!

DhEADFUL DEAIH!
On Friday night, the 18th instant, in Chatham
County, Millner Burke burned up in his house
The particulars are follows: Mr.. Burke lived with
his sister, no one else belonging to the family. The
house caught on fire time in the night ; both
the occupants old and rather infirIn. They
were aroused by the cracking of the flames, and
made their escape. He succeeded in taking out some
articles of value and returned again, although per-
suaded not to do by his sister The door some
how or other closed upon him. and he never return
ed-he was incarcerated and entirely consumed by
the devouring element. Mr. Burke was in his 10th
year; was consistent member of the church, and
one of the most inotiensve and excellent citizens
belonging to our County. a Republican of the old
school, he never in a long life swerved for moment
from the Democratic doctrine; and in morals as in
politics he was equally firm and consistent. He has
left behind him many friends to mourn his untimely
end, but no one can be found to say ought against
his fair name. RcquieScat in pace.

Difficulty IN relation to the Burial Of n Priest.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, Nov. 10. This city has this
morning been the theatre of great excitement grow
ing out of the refusal OF the Roman Catholic Bishop
to allow the remains of the Rev. Mr. Brady, cath
olic priest, to be buried near the church. In
uuence of some difficulty with Brady, the Bishop
had suspended him. and the treatment the latter had
received is believed to have induced the disease with
which he died.
The people siding with their former PASTOR de-
termned that he should be buried near the church
as he had requested, and yesterday afternoon they
dug a large place for the purpose of building a
ceptacle for the coffin. This morning the hole
found to have been filled up the orders of the Bishop,
but the people were not to be defeated, and despite
of the efforts of the Bishop and the priests,
ceeded in again opening it.
The Bishop then refused TO open the Church, for
the funeral service; but after hours delay, the
people again succeeded, and the Church was open
ed when it was found that the altar had been so
fixed that mass could not be celebrated.
But the people again triumphed-had things put
to rights-and now (at II o'clock priest from out
of town, friend of father Brady, is saying Mass.
The streets, in the neghborhood, have been filed,
all the morning, with excited multitude.

Mr. Chngman has been identified for some time

hands OF federal orators and presses than he has, for
the course he has deemed it his duty to pursue We
DOUBT not that his course will continue to be the
same in future Congresses; and that he will stand

RUSSIAN NAMEs.-The war now in pro.
gress in Europe will doubtless have the cf
feet to enlarge our geographical knowledge;
but unfortunately the names of places, rivers,
vessels and officers are so full of "Ks" that
they are absolutely unpronounceablc. If
some inventive genius would get patent for
pronouncng machine, lie would make a
fortune shortly. The N. Y Democrat pithiIy
remarks:
People who scarcely ever examined map
before are studying over the tremendous Rus.
sian names, which are rs hard to be conquer.
ed as their owners. II is exciting to find
that the Russians are now in the Debrutscha,
and that they are about to invest Matschin
and Isaktch, while it is uncertain whether
they have taken Babadaga and Tultscha.-
The names that we had in the Mexican war
are nothing to these, aad every man ought to
begin to practice their pronunciation so rs to
avoid any sudden disocation Of his Jaw
There are some terrible names in the vicinity
of the Baltic, but We are in hopes that Sir
Charles Napier will knock somo of the con-
sonants out Of them before they are put in
the bulletins. One point of the matter is
that no two journals spell these terrible names
alike, 50 that We arc in state Of uncertainty,
after having mastered ono pronunciation
The Western Powers never ought to make
peace until these names arc changed. Let il
be done by vermillion edict.

W The N. o. Picayune says: "The great
match and bet Of one thousand dollars to
eight hundred, has at last been decided, Mr.
Travis winning the money upon tho first shot
The affair came off on May day, at the private
residence of Mr.. C. A. Babbitt, at Bayou
Ramos, Tiger Island, parish of St. Mary's, in
this State. 1t being difficult to procure an
apple, a small orange, only about 8 inches in
circumference, was substituted. After the
shooting distance of thirty-six feet was mea-
sured, the orange was placed by tho judges
on the head of gentleman, friend Of both
parties-NIr. J.P. O.-and no object inter.
vening, the first shot told the story, hitting
the orange, half of the bullet going through.
Both gentlemen displayed great nerve upon
the exciting occasion. Some of the best
sportsmen and acknowledged best shots in
the country were present, and all express
themselves fully satisfied that Mr.. Travis is
the best pistol shot in The world.
