GREAT EXCITEMENT AT ERIE.-1t will
be seen from the following that. the citi-
zens of Erie, Pa, are determined to
take matters into their own hands, and
set the government officers at defiance.
They have torn up the rails several
times before and offered every indignity
they could to the Erie and Northeast
Railroad Company, accounts Of which
have appeared in the Journal from time
to time. The Supreme Court of the
United States have issued an Injunction
against Erie, but the citizens have paid
but little attention to it, and persist in
demolishing the railroads running
through it. The citizens of Cleveland
held meeting to take into considera-
tion the course of the people of Erie,
and passed strong resolutions, recon-
mending strong retaliatory measures by
our Legislature if Pennsylvania es-
poused the part of Erie. Much feeling
prevailed in that city. At Buffalo a
large meeting was held on the same
subject; the people expressed willing
ness to offer assistance if the authori-
ties were not able to put down the mob:
The track at Harbor creek is all torn
up, the bridge burned, all the ties de-
stroyed.
Conductor Coffin, with body of
men, was sent by the Company to pro-
tect the bridge, but all his men fed but
one. Coffin then fred upon the mob
and shot one in the head, but the wound
is not mortal. The mob then got Cof-
fin and his man down and would have
killed them but for Mr.. Hopper, a
bridge builder, who interfered, and
gave Coffin chance to escape on the
cars. He was followed by some of the
mob to arrest him, who got on the cars
and were carried off.
Toward evening the excitement at
Harbor Greek was abating; but about
six hundred Of the Erians have started
out to do further damage, and say they
are going down to burn the State line
Bridge, and have stationed force to
prevent the cars going East until Coffin
and his man are given up, and those of
the mob who are upon the cars with
them are released.
The latest advices say the mob had
returned, having concluded not to burn
the State line Bridge to night.
The Sheriff of Philadelphia was at
Erie this morning. serving injunctions in
favor of the Western Railway Compa-
ny.

MUszRoox ARIsrocRAcT.-The New
burypOrt Herald. alluding to the grow
ing evil of extravaganza in the United
StAtes. says:
"There is not country IN the world
where the people are so extrayagant in
their mode Of dress and living as in the
United States. 1t is one of the worst
signs Of the times. The habits of the
mushroom aristocracy are really dis
gushing. How it looks to see boys spor-
ting diamonds by the thousand dollars
worth at time, whose fathers were &C
customed to the wheel barrow, and
whose children are pretty certain to be
in the work-honse. And girls, silly,
simpering things, weighed down with
Jewels and bracelets, whose mothers
broke their backs at the washing tub,
securing floors, and picking oakum.-
The real substantial aristocracy never
indulge in such fopperies and fooleries.

NEW YoRK, Dec. 26.
On the 18th of November, the entire
Russian feet from Sebastopol, under
the command of Admiral Machinof,
with "a sail, appeared off the Turkish
harbor of Sinope, where Vice Admiral
.0smar Bey, with IA Turkish sail, was
stationed. A battle Immediately en-
sued, and the shore batteries being of
no use, the Russians forced the har-
bor. The Turks fought like devils and
would not surrender. With the most
desperate bravery they fought until one
ship after another was sunk, blown, or
burned up.
The Russians destroyed seven Turk
ish frigates, two corvettes. one steamer,
and three transports, with seven thou
sand men.
Osmsr Bey, the Turkish Vice Ad-
miraI, was taken prisoner. Each of
the Turkish ships, besides its crew, had
eight hundred troops on board, on their
way to Circassia; also, money to pay
the feet. The Turks burned or sunk
seven Russian ships, two line-of-battle,
three frigates, and two steamers. The
battle lasted only one hour. The re-
mainder of the Russian feet was so shat
tered that it could scarcely reach Sc
bastopol. All Europe is in state of
excitement, and the opinion is that
European war can no longer be avoided.
The Turks continue to gain advantage
IN Asia. No movements are reported
on the line of the Danube.
Another account of the battle be-
tween the Turks and Russian ships
says that six Russian ships-of-the-line
were only in the engagement, sustain
ing the fire of six land batteries, as well
as that of the Turkish fleet. They at
tempted to take the Turkish flagship,
with the Turkish Vice Admiral, into
Sebastopol, but she sunk and the prison
ers were transferred to Russian ves-
sci.
Prince Menchikoff left Odessa imme-
diately for St. Petersburg.
Vienna accounts say that an armistice
is probable.
Turkey consents to the neutrality of
Servia.
Adyices from China are to the 9th
Of November. They are still fighting
1t Shanghai. Annoy and Canton are
quiet.

several water spouts have recently made
their appearance upon Lake Ontario.
One of them, which was about thirty
feet in diameter, was precipitated against
the bluffs at Sodus Point, causing so
great commotion that large logs and
lumber were torn from their moorings,
and swept far out into the lake. A
portion of the pier ofthe light house was
also swept away, and considerable dam
age done to the building.

DEED SINPLIFIED IN INDIAEA.-A
few days since we had occasion to ex-
anime a deed of land in Indiana. 1t
was the shortest affair of the kind we
ever saw. 1t had no long worded cove
nants about title, incumbrance, &c
1t had neither witnesses nor separate
examination of the wife, nor mention OF
dover. We thought it odd, and went
over to the Office of James Birney. Esq,
who is Commissioner for all the States,
and keeps posted up in all the laws
pertaing to this subject. He took down
the Revised Statutes of Indiana, and at
once showed us that the deed was right,
having all the requisites.
The form is as simple as can be made.

Ohio, and then every man may be his
