The u. Y. Tribune and the Know
NOthings.

The New York Tribune, one of tie bit
terest Freesoil papers at the North, objects
to the Know-No:hing party, among other
reasons because it is conservative on the
slavery question, and disposed to let the
South and its institutions alone The Tri-
bune says:
The Know Nothing movement is in the
hands of the Union-savers of 1850, and
will be steadily shaped to their ends. In
dividuals and perhaps certain localities may
demur: but the movement is the latest
dodge of Hunkerism Nobody believes that
an earnest CONTENDER of slavery will be
pushed by it for the Presidency; nobody
doubts that the nomination by it of any such
men as Charles Sumner. or Salmon P.
Chase, Cor President, would rend it into
fragments. 1t can be kept alive only by
the most rigid avoidance of all exciting and
agitating topics. 1t is in fact back-fre,
set by Silver-Greyism. to stop the advance
of the anti Nebraska spirit in the free States
When it shall have subserved this end. it
will be allowed to die out and give place to
some fresher humbug.

The Horrors of War.

The latest accounts from Sevastopol state
that the town was on fire in several places
that the streets were strewn with the un-
buried dead, and that twelve thousand sick
and wounded soldiers we're in the hospitals.
The principal hospital. which was said to
contain two thousand sick and wounded.
was set on fire by the shells of the allied
army, and was burned to the ground, with
all its inmates! This is indeed frightful,
and the circumstance is treated very quietly
in the English and French papers An
English account stated that MENscHIKoFF
hoistee the flag Of the hospital over mag
azine, which the English directed their fire
upon and blew up, but from other quarters
it is stated that the building thus fred upon
was in reality the hospital The following
account of the affair, the New Orleans Bul-
letin says, comes in the shape of letter from
British officer -
"The Russian batteries having it now all
their own way, hammered unremittingly up
on US with the greatest vivacity They had
sent forth from their ramparts loud shouts
of defiance or of victory. when the explo-
sion of the French and English magazines
acquainted them of our misfortune but il
was now our turn to crow, for about half
past three there suddenly shot upwards from
the works, or rather the Redan on our front
a white livid fame, which assembled high
into the air, and while we all paused tc
gaze on the spectacle. sound which made
the very earth tremble beneath US, followed
by most awful report, told us that the
Redan had ceased to exist for in the next
minute its garrison of hundreds, blown tc
atoms, dismembered and mutlated by the
action of the explosion, were discovered
hundreds of yards above the parent earth
So fearful and terrifying spectacle 1 never
have. nor do hope ever again to witness.
In the midst o. dense volume of smoke
and sparks, which resembled water-spout
ascending to the clouds, were visible to the
naked eye arms, legs trunks and heads Of
the Russian warriors, mingled with cannons
wheels. and every object of military warfare
and | may say with every living thing which
it contained. The explosion in the French
and English batteries were like flashes il
the pan of musket compared with this"

The Whale Shin Nouou pbaAeza

The Whale Ship Mononghahela IN
the Arctic Ocean-The San Francisco
Herald, of Oct. %, says:
The fact of the ship Monongahela, Of
New Bedford, having been carried into the
Arctic Ocean by the ice at the commence
ment of the winter of 1858. has created
much interest. Up to our last accounts, no
news had been heard from her. notwith.
standing Fl. b. NJ ship Rattlesnake had
coasted up to the utmost limits of aaviga-
ton allowed by the ice. and whaler had
also taken the course the Monongahela took
still there was nothing which would give
any indication of her fate more than the
statement of the natives to the captain of
the Rattlesnake, that three-masted vessel
had gone into the Arctic Ocean. This could
be no other than the Monopgahela, as there
was no other vessel that would be likely to
be in that situation. By the arrival OF the
E. L. Frost from Honolulu, We learn that
report was current among the whaling
feet, that cask had been picked up at sea
containing articles belonging to the Monon-
gahela, as proved by the marks If this be
true, there is but little doubt that the vessel
and her entire crew are lost.

Close of the Volume.

The present number closes the fourteenth
year of the Telegraph" and We here take
occasion to return our warmest thanks to
the many kind friends who have hitherto
sustained US. We have endeavored to rem
der the Telegraph" acceptable to its pa
irons, by furnishing them. through its col
umns, with the latest intelligence from the
busy world abroad, and keeping them advis-
ed of the progress of affairs in our own
State. In short, it has been our aim to ren-
der it entertaining. instructive and reliable
How far we have succeeded, We leave it
for those for whom we have catered, to say
With the view Of extending our circula-
tioD, We have determined, with the CON-
mencement of our next volume, to reduce
the price to TWO DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS
PER ANNUM, IN adrance,-and, that We
may increase it in interest, and render it
still more useful and worthy of patronage,
we purpose, as soon as we can obtain the
necessary material. to enlarge its dimen-
sions By the addition of four more columns.
To make the Improvements we propose,
will require an additional expense.-to meet
which, we solicit the kind assistance of our
friends in extending our circulation. Each
one of our subscribers could readily procure
us another, and thus BY very little exer-
tion our list would be doubled. and We would
thereby, be enabled to furnish them with a
still more interesting and useful paper
which we pledge ourself to do. Will our
friends aid us in the manner proposed!

Mr.. Beebe's Letter.


The Little Rock True Democrat" of the
10Th inst. contains correspondence be-
tween the Chairman of the Internal I'm
provement Committee of the House of Rep
resentatives, and Roswell BEEBE, Esq.
President of the Cairo and Fulton Railroad
Company. which we regret We have not
space to publish to-day
The letter of Mr.. BEERE is of serious
importance to the people of this State at
this time, because it shows conclusively, the
utter and entire inability of the Cairo and
Fulton Company to build this road within
the time required by the act of Congress
donating the lands for that purpose. This,
however, is nothing more than we predicted,
and what we sincerely and honestly believ.
ed would be the case whenever the mana
gers of the company were compelled to
break the mysterious silence they have SO
long observed, and were forced to show their
true condition.
When asked by the representatives of
the people what guarantees they were able
to give that they would build the road with
in the time, at the expiration of which the
lands reverted to the General Government,
they answer they are unable to give any
Was it in dependence upon the acts and
dongs Of this company, which. when the
time has arrived for making showing con-
fess that they are wholly unable to give the
State any guarantee of their ability to build
the road, that Governor Conway so obstin-
ately refused to convene the Legislature two
years ago? Is this then the result for which
the Governor has permitted two of the ten
years allowed the State in which to complete
this great work, to be wasted We hope
| for the credit of the State the Governor
may have some other and more plausible
defence.
Neatly two years ago when urging the
Governor through the columns of our paper
to convene the Legislature. that the lands
donated by Congress to aid in the construc-
ton Of the Cairo and Fulton Railroad might
be made available for that purpose, we
dwelt at length upon the facts, that money
was then more abundant than ever before
known,-that commerce was more prosper
Gus, and enterprise more bold,-that the
world was at peace, and that capital was
anxiously seeking the very kind of invest
ment these lands offered. We mentioned too
the additional facts, that European diploma
cy had warlke tendency. and that all ex-
perience taught us that we might confident
ly expect at no very distant day, the re-
vulsion that is now upon us. But argu-
ment and public opinion repeatedly express
ed, were alike unavailing with the Govern
or. He seemed determined, probably by
the advice of Roswell Beebe. to stake the
great interest of the State upon the efforts
of the Cairo and Fulton Railroad Company,
and now after two years have been vast
ed, and the inability of the Company to ac-
complish, the work is made manifest to eve-
ry rejecting mind, Mr.. Beebe defends it
upon the ground of the t;ghtness of the mo-
ney market. the general iisjointed condition
of affairs and the European War.

LYNCH Law AND EXCITEMENT IN TEXAS

LYNCH LAW AND EXCITEMENT IN Texas.
The people Of Navarro county. Texas. have
lately been greatly excited on account Of
the abduction of two mulatto boys. and a
conspiracy to murder Colonel Elliott, their
owner. A man named Wells, who was i'm
plicated by the confession of another named
Morgan, was seized by some unknown per-
sons, who hung him. horribly mutilated
his body, and then threw it into creek,
where it was found. Nine respectable cit
izens were charged with this latter outrage,
but, after examination, were discharged
Morgan has since stated that the confession
was extorted from him with rope around
his neck. and that both Wells and himself
were innocent of the charge. The friends
of Wells swear vengeance against his mur-
derers, and bloody work it is feared, will

from gentleman from Scott county. that

terrific, causing the earth to quake, throw

THE MYSTERIOUS CONVENTION. The
assertion that Mr. Clayton attended the re-

indispensable visits Of few hours to Phila-

fairs, Mr. Clayton has not been absent from

GREEK MERCHANTS IN MANCHESTER -
There are many Greek merchants in Man
chester England, who, since the commence

interests as to have excited considerable
feeling against them in that community
Very lately two of the principal Greek
houses there signi6ed their intention, if Sc
bastopol was not taken. to keep open houses,
and celebrate the discontinue of the Allies
