THE RUSSIAN ACCOUNT" Marshal Pas
keiwitch issued bulletin on the Sd, at War
saw, giving the Russian version of the bat
tie at the Alma. The loss of the allies is
reported to have far exceeded that of Prince
MenschikoT. The Russian loss is pat down
at but 1000, (the English say it is nearly
5000 y and on the whole the Warsaw dis
patch is made to read pretty much as if the
victory was altogether on the side of the
Russians instead of against them
Among the wounded on the British side
was c. Newton, of the Scotch. fusileer
guards. He was shot in the leg and fell
When down the Russians are said to have
fired upon him, and beat him on the head
with their muskets, and nothing would have
prevented his brains being beaten out on the
spot but the thickness of his helmet or cap.
He had eleven wounds on his body, but at
last accounts he was still living
The wounded Russians, it will be seen by
the Niagara's advices, received like treat
ment from the Turks-they basely bayonet-
ing their helpless adversaries, the while cry
ing Sinope.'

PRIZE FIGHr-HyER BEATEN-The st.
Louis Democrat gives the details of prize
fight that came off on the Illinois shore, op-
posite the lower part of that city, on the
9th of October between the famous New
York boxer, Tom Hyer, and MCGOWAN, a
boxer of st. Louis. The prize was $4,000
Sixty-four rounds were had. Both parties
were pluck, and about equally bruised On
the sixty-fourth round Tom got two ran
dom shots on the mouth, and in endeavoring
to rally, put in foul blow. A claim of
foul play was made by McGowan's friends.
Toms yielded the umpires deciding that
Mac was entitled to the wager And SO
ended the fight.

g9- Another dreadful railroad accident
occurred near Joliet on Wednesday night
last. A horse jumped on the track, throw
ing the train off, killing, wounding and
scalding from 30 to 40 first class passengers.
When the engine was thrown off the track,
the forward passenger cars were hurled Oh

with tremendous force through the dense
mass of human beings packed closely among
the cars. No room for particulars.

"THE TOURNAMENT" We were in hopes
this bastard show would have been confined
10 the chivalry' of Virginia, which is
we'll known to have so far degenerated as to
have lost all relationship to the fathers -
But we see the good people of Louisville,
Kentucky, at some late gathering, "a county
fair, we believe.) introduced this piece of
boys play. The girls We're made to bear
some part in it by submitting themselves to
be shown off as "queens of love and beauty"
and maids of honor" The "chivalry y
on such occasions is manifested thrusting a
pine stick, shaped like a spear, through a
ring hung on hgh-the "knight" (shade of
Don Quixote y being mounted on horse back.
"Old Kaintuck" ought to be ashamed of
such chidren's play.
Baby fairs, or exhibitions of Young Amer
lea in the ring, as you would show off young
colts and calves and riding horses for pre-
miums at our county and State fairs, by
young ladies, we had supposed quite ridicu-

The Lowell Advertiser saws about the
KnowNothings:
"All this talk about the necessity of Sc
,cresy in political action is the merest non
sense in the world. In our government,
where the people have the control of affairs,
and where, too, the people, being interested
have a right to know all that is going on re-
latng to their own business, all secret politi-
cal organizations are not only anti-republi-
can. but also unreasonable If there are
secret political organizations in our midst,
does the existence of one excuse the existence
of another? If so, they may be multiplied
ad intinitum, and secret Vaccinations, pr-
vacy, tricks, stratagems, intrigues, factions,
cabals, and corruption will become the or
der of the day. Everything like honorable,
manly, and open discussion of principles
will be unknown and forgotten

A BAcEsET The intelligent Washington
correspondent of the NY. Courier & Enqui-
rer says the current impression that Brigham
Young is no longer governor of Utah, and
that there is vacancy, is incorrect. The
writer has made the examination and says,
the law of congress in that case provides
that on the expiration of his time, the gov
ernor shall continue in office till his success
sor shall arrive. Young will thus continue
to be governor till next spring, at least.
1t is said a governor will be appointed,
and military force will be sent out to en-
force obedience to him. This will be popu-
lar sovereignty with a vengeance. We again
suggest the propriety of passing law au-
thorizing Utah to elect its own governor, &c.
Can't we persuade some of the Nebraska men
to face their own music, and bring into con-
gress bill of this kind 10. S. Journal

Obvious Enough.

The London Shipping Gazette, ofJuly goth,
rays -
One Of the arguments used by the Govern
tnent of Washington for desiring to possess Gu
ba is its geographical positions beng one OF
a group of Islands contiguous 10 It's coast, and
which, on this account, ought to belong TO me
Union. But the same argument would apply
to Jamaica and other of the West Indian pos
sessions, OF England, which the country may
be averse to part with.
OF course--and the argunentsfor the annex
alton of the British West Indies, Cuba once
arouired would be even stronger than that
no'y urged relative TO Cuba For those Islands
are nearer Cuba than Cuba is to Forida-~and
Cuba would be in more danger from them IN
case Of war. than the South Eastern states are
now from Cuba. In fact there is no argument
that can be urged for the acquisition Of Cuba,
which does not apply with equal force to the
other West India Islands--with even still grea-
ter force 10 Canada. In case Of war, Canada
would be far more dangerous to long line OF
Northert States, than Cuba Especially IN the
hands Of the Spaniards) would be TO the South
qrn members of til e Union. While Halifax,
with his naval depot, would be far more de-
structive enemy 10 Tie shipping and CONNER
cial interest Of the country than Havana
If Cuba were acquired, however, we should
find her a costly possession. Her exposed sit
uation, in case OF hoSti.ltleS win large ma
val power like Great Britain or France, would
be used in Congress as an argument for great
increase of our navy. For It would be said,
how could Cuba be preserved, unless by
means of fleet equal to what the enemy
would be able to throw upon her coast? In
fact, the possession Of territory lying apart
from nation always necessitates great ex-
pense for the means of protection---which
Republican government, on account OF its e.
quail laws, is not able to repay itself through
special imposts and duties. Thus Great Bri-
tain is now considering the policy Of abandon
ing her colonies--because her principles are
averse to burdening them with heavy taxes,
and the heavy cost of defending them is only
repaid by the mere empty honor of calling them
her possessions. Colonies which arc sources
of revenue 10 INSCRIPTIONS and tyrannical gov
ernments like Spain, may thus be worth Moth
ing to more liberal governments. This is a
fact which should never be overloo ked. For
this reason, it is doubtful whether the aequsi-
ton of Cuba, or Of the Sandwich Islands
even as free eft, would be at all desirable
Whether they would not be a constant bill of
expense without any corresponding benefit. -
