IMPORTANT TELEGRAPH1C NEWS
THE WAR.
Battle of Balaklavar.
From the Picayuue.l

L 4OAh III ~ oNS
NEW York, Nov. 1.-THE Asia reached her
wharf this morning at nine o'clock. Her pa
pers contain the following interesting intelll-
gence.
The Recent Battle.
The Russian dispatches state that the Allies
had suffered two severe defeats near Sebasto-
pol.
The facts appear to be that the Russians
Unexpectedly attacked the forts at Balak ava,
on the 25th October, when the Turks belong
ing to the garrison ingloriously fled. Ihe
Scotch regiments in the forts however, re.
manned firm, but the Russians succeeded in
Selling their guns, and turned them upon the
Allies. Other forces of the Allies came up
and the main body of the Russians were COM
PEELED 10 retire, though they still held posses
sion of the forts, from which they kept up a
continual fire on the Fre nch and English.
Three regiments of the British Cavalry were
exposed TO a cross fire for some time, aud sui.
tered terribly. The French acted with great
bravery, but their loss was not 80 great az
that of the British.
The next day, the attack was resumed by
hien>chikoff, and a sortie was made slmuIta-
neousiy from the garrison of Sebastopol. Ihe
result, however, Was that the Russians were
driven back with immense loss.
The loss of life in Sebastopol is said to have
been so grea, that large numbers OF the dead
remained unburied, and the atmosphere was
tainted by the %efdnyia from them.
According to the statements OF some OF the
wounded officers of the Russians, who had
beer taken at Balaklava. Sebastopol would
soon be in the hands OF the Allies. In the
mean time Lord Raglan prefers to continue
the bombardment, rather than make q sudden
assault, which must be attended with immense
loss Of life.
The Russian accounts represent their losses
as small, and their affairs gene.allysin . very
favorable conditien.
The latest adyices from Sebastopol report
that a force Of 10000 Russians had made an
attack upon, and recaptured one of the forts
occupied by the Allies. and that q great battle
had been fought near Balaklava, in which ihe
Russians had been driven back, and the Allies
remained in possession of the field.-The &C.
counts state that the siege was proceeding
favorably for the Allies. Two Russian ships
in the harbor had been destroyed, and the
quarantine battery had been silencej. One OF
the basiions of Fort Consta ntine had been
considerably damaged by the explosion Of the
magazine.

VIRGINIA DIssATIsFIED.

The Richmond (va.) Enquirer is dissatisfied
with the mode in which the Fugitive Slave Act
has been administered in Boston. Ii seemed
to be under the impression that the business of
slave catching was rather popular in that
city-that its citizens were only waiting for
just such an opportunity to show their alacrity
in doing the will Of shareholders, and proving
their loyalty TO Slavery. Suddenly awakened
TO the truth, it cries out
Such an execution Of the Fugitive Slave
Law as that which we witness in Boston, is q
mockery and an insult. II is perfectly mani
fest that the sentiment of the whole communi-
ty is against the law"
That IL true--but is there anything wonder
full in IL Suppose Congress should pass a
law to carry out the provisions Of the Consti-
tuition, guarantying ato the citizens Of each
State, all the privileges and immunities of citi-
zens in the several States" and designed to
enforce the rights Of colored citizens Of Mas
sachusctts in Virginia and other States; how
would stand the sentiment Of the whole COM
munityp in that regions
IL we are not mistaken, the Smallnote Law
Of Virginia has lately produced great exotic
ment, and in some portions Of its law-abiding
community provoked threats Of violent resist
ance. Legislation sometimes outstrips, or con-
ficts with, public sentiment; and it has hith-
erto been pretty generally admitted that an act
which cannot be executed without military
force, were better repealed The Richmond

RECESS OF CONGRESS.

The Senate is stubborn, refuses to concur IN
the resolution Of the House to adjourn on the
l4th Of August next, and again sends to the
House its resolution for recess from July to
October. Mr.. Gwin urges this movement, and
Mr.. Gwin, they say, desires to visit California,
to look after his political interests in that quar-
ter. The recess will accommodate other poll
ticians---for example, those of Pennsylvania,
who doubtless are anxious to di course to their
constituents on the beauty of the Principle OF
Non Intervention as embodied in the Nebraska
Bill.
We confess we can see no strong reason for
such movement Congress has repealed the
Missouri Compromi,e-the House has post
poned the Pacific Railroad bill-the bill to in

that remains therefore to be Done is, to pass

We have little faith in the capacity of this
Congress for good. Its power to do mischief has
been sufficiently demonstrated. The shorter
its sessions, and the sooner We get rid OF it. the
better We can imagine no reason for pro-
tracing the present session, except disposition
to forward the Propagandist schemes of the
Executive.

section of the Missouri Compromises, as matters
Of SURPRISING Importance, which demand the
instant and earnest attention of every lover OF
freedom
Resolped, That the virtual repeal of the 9Th
section Of the Missouri Compromise demands
and receives our utter condemnation, as palpa-
BILE perfdy to a solemn Pledge of Freedom,
designed TO be sacred and irrepealsble.
RESOLVED, That we hereby pledge ourselves to
the defence Of Freedom, by the restriction OF
Slavery to the States in which it exists-by
the exclusion of Slavery at the earliest prac-
tical moment and by all constitutional means,
from all Federal territory-Nebraska Kansas,
and the District of Columbia, inclusive; by
opposing the admission to the Union of any
new State tolerating Slavery, whether it be
formed from territory belonging to Texas or
elsewhere; and by resisting the requirement of
any new territory wherein Slavery exists, un-
less its prohibition shall first have been provi-
did for.
RESOLVED, That asa means of removing and
excluding Slavery from Federal territory, we
recommend the formation Of associations, either
voluntary or chartered by the State to secure
emigration of reliable and intelligent freemen,
pledged irrevocably to the cause Of Freedom.
Resoived, That we will not support, for the
cficc Of President or Vice President, or for
Senator, or for Representative in Congress, or
a. member Of State Legislature, any man, of
whatever party, who is not known to be in
favor OF the purposes expressed in the forego-
ing resolutions, and in this also
RESOLVED, That we hereby invite the co-ope-
ration Of all freemen Of Vermont, who agree
with us in the principles and purposes herein
set forth, offering on our part, most cordially
to give our confidence to those who oonfide in
US.
Rssolved, That, while every supporter of the
Nebraska bill has impeached his character for
personal and political integrity, the Northern
supporters of that measure have added the
guilt Of blacklist treachery to their constitu-
ents and we hereby declare that no such
man, whatever be his party afinties, bis posi-
ton, or professions, can ever receive our re-
spect, our confidence, or our votes.
Resolved, That to the delegation in Congress
from Vermont, to all others, irrespective Of
party distinctions, and especially to those noble
Representatives of the South who have man
fully struggled to maintain the public faith in
violate, we acknowledge the debt of gratitude
due to faithful public servants and honorable
men.
