THE BATTLE OF ARPATCHAL.-The Rus
slams give the following version Of the battle
of Arpatchal, on the Turkish frontier of the
Caucasus. The battle occurred on the LIST of
December, and the Russians claim to have
achieved complete victory over three times
their number of Turks and KOurdes. The
Russian commanders report says:
"The Russian detachment, which amounted
in number to 1000 infantry, $500 cavalry,
and 80 pieces of artillery, has in this affair
completely put to the route Turkish corps
of 20 900 regular infantry, 1000 regular cav
airy, and more than 10000 Kourdes, with 46
pieces of artillery, Of which 81 have been
captured. Such success obtained over IN
enemy three times our number, could not fail
to be attended with serious loss on our side.
We have to regret the loss of one superior
officer, eight subaltern officers, and 3OS sol.
diers killed, and one general. nine superior
officers, 81 subaltern officers, and 762 soldiers
wounded. The loss of the enemy is not vet
known, but from the number left on the field,
it cannot be estimated that the killed amount
to less than 1900. The number of wounded
must have been much more considerable. In
addition to the "a pieces of artillery above
mentioned, the enemy left in our hands ten
ammunition wagons, several standards, all
his tents, and i quantity of arms Of different
kinds"

freedom of choice is allowed to the people,
or moral compulsion only is exercised over
them, there is little fear of their becoming
addicted to opium. Prohibit the use of fer
mentcd liquors by law, and we may hopo to
increase largely the consumers Of this drug"
This is worth considering.

A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas information has been received by
me that an unlawful expedition has been
fitted out in the State of California, with n
view to invade Mexico-a nation maintaining
friendly relations with the United Stqtes--
and that other expeditions are organizing
within the United States for the same un
lawful purpose; and whereas certain citizens
and inhabitants Of this country unmindful of
their obligations and duties, and of the rights
OF " lflcUulN puNcI, HlNc pdTllClpItcu, aHu
are about to participate, in these enterprises,
so derOgatOry to our national character, and
so threatening to our tranquility, and are
thereby mourning the severe penalties inpos.
ed by law against such offenders.
Now, therefore, Franklin Pierce, Presi-
dent of the United States, lave issued this
my proclamation, warning all persons who
shall connect themselves with any such en-
terprse or expedition that the penalties of
the law denounced against such criminal con-
duct will be rigidly enforced; aud | exhort
all good citizens, MS they regard our national
character, as they respect our laws or the law
of nations, rs they value the blessings of
peace and the welfare of their country, to
discountenance, and by al! lawful means pre-
vent, such criminal enterprises; and call upon
all officers of this government, civil and mil
itary, to use any efforts which may be in their
power to arrest for trial and punishment ev-
cry such offender.
Given under my hand and the seal Of
the United States at Washington,
this eighteenth day of January, il the

hundred and fity-four and the seven
ty-eighth of the independence of the
United States.

SUIcIDE.-The Harrisonburg Chronicle of
the 4th inst, says:
"Thc sad and painful duty devolves upon
us, this week, to record melancholy suicide
which TRANSFERRED at our landing on Tuesday,
night last, on board the steamer Sarah. The
name of the unfortunate individual is ID. e..
Clark, of Brooklyn, New York, Minister of
the Methodist Church. The wound which
caused his death was inflicted latcraly across
the bend of the right arm, severng the hum
eral artery, little above its bifurcation. The
weapon used was razor. The deceased had
been laboring under deep melancholy, caused
by domestic grief. He informed the captain
of the boat that he formerly lived in WASH
ngton City, and that there his wife deserted
him, and that she is now living with another
person. The last and only words that fell
from his lips, after committing the rash act,
were, isowned-disowncd, evidently al
luding to his wife, She not only deserted
him, but took everything he possessed, ex.
cepting about $50 He was an intelligent,
genteel. looking man, apparently about 40
years of age.

A MAN SHOT BY HIS WlFE.-The follow

correspondent.-Lou Dem.
LEAvEEwoRTH, Ind, Jan. II.
MeSSrS. EditOrS-A woman named Sarah
Crutield, late Mrs Jackson, of your city, was
arrested here to day charged with having
murdered her husband, John Crulield. From
the evidence adduced on the examination, it
appears that on the 9th inst. Crutield left his
house, few miles back of this, informing his
wife that he would return home in two or
three days. That night Mrs. Cruficld heard
somebody trying to get into the house-took
down rifle gun, fired through door one
inch in thickness, and shot her husband
through the heart. She pulled the body into
the house, and then went and informed her
neighbors of the occurrence. They repaired
to the house, found Crntield shot, MS descrb.
ed, the gun broken in pieces, and great deal
of blood on the floor. Some think cold
bIooded murder has been perpetrated, and
others that the deceased was killed in the
manner related by the prisoner. She was held
to bail in the sum Of two hundred dollars,
and in default thereof was committed to Jail.
