She brings the extraordinary intelligence
that the news " tie fall of Sebastopol as
received III London ana Liverpool, and
transmitted to the United States BY the
Baltic. proved to have been false, and had
evidently been got ND for fraudulent pur-
poses. The reports that Fort Constantine
had been blown up, that a large portion of
the Russian feet had been destroyed, that
$4,000 Russians had been killed $4,000
taken prisoners that large portion Of the
feet had been destroyed, that Sebastopol
was in flames, that Menschikoff had surren-
dered, etc, etc, were all fabricatons, and
that tie dispatch purporting to come from
Omer Pacha announcing the intelligence,
was forgery.
The discovery of this fraud produced
sensation throughout Europe, equaled only
by the fllse despatch itself.
The latest authentic accounts from Crlmea
state that The fighting continued. and that
Sebastopol was formally invested.
The cotton market was steady. and bread

Mob Violence.

A negro belonging to EIr. SAMUEL Nc
MoRRIN, Of Pulaski county, Arkansas. was
indicted some time since for murder. He
was charged with shooting john DOUGLASS
and JEssUP McHENRy, whilst they were
watching a salt lick for deer The former
was killed but the latter has recovered. 1t
being difficult to obtain jury in Pulaski,
the case was removed to Saline county. and
the negro was there in Jail. when a mob of
CT some hundred persons broke open the
Jail. seized thc negro and hung him, in def
anca of the SheritI's authority.
We regret that it becomes our duty to
record fact of this nature. but we can, at
The same time, boast that such things occur
less frequently in Arkansas than in any 9TH
er State in the Union. SO rarely do they
take place that we are satisfied the circum-
stances in this case must have been peculiar
ly aegravating, and although this is no ex-
cuse for the offence, it may palate, and in
cline US to set it down as having been
prompted rather by the weakness than by
the dcpravity Of human nature. Mob vio-
enee is always wrong, and the law should
always be permitted 70 take its course
the example las better effect, and the
welfare Of society is better secured by do
ing so. But there are cases when the best
feelings of our nature, from over-excitement,
viii burst the bounds Of prudence and rush
into lawiess violence. This is much to be
deplored, but there are acts of this sort con-
tinually occurring in those parts of the Union
which look upon Arkansas as half-civiliz-
ed region. They are so common there as
scarcely to be deemed worthy of comment /;
and what is more--they often originate
in the rery aeorSt feelings of our nature.

St. Louis, Cincinnati & Memphis

Considerable excitement is prevailing on
account Of the violent seizure of slave be-
longing to Mr. RoBINsoN, Of Memphis,
Tenn, as that gentlemun passed through Sa-
lem, in Ohio. The Cincinnati Chamber Of
Commerce have been requested to submit the
case to the courts for decision, in order that
the question as to the right of transporting
slaves through free State may be finally
settled. A Mr. BLACKWELL aided in this
slave-stealing affair, aud as be is a merchant
of Cincinnati, the citizens Of Memphis, at a
public meeting, resolved to have nothing
more to do with Cincinnati in the way of
trade, unless the people Of that place would
make some public show of disapprobation
of The act, and as it is matter connected
with the commercial interests of the city,
the Chamber Of Commerce have been ap-
pealed to- The action of the Chamber will
shoS how far honesty has prevailed in con-
strt3hg the statute of Ohio relative to slaves
If the proposition to submit it to the courts
for settlement be accepted, it will argue
some respect for the South; if rejected, and
no redress be offered for the outrage com
mitted, the people of Memphis viii doubt
less carry out the resolutions of their pub
lie meeting, by holding no further CONNER
cial intercourse with Cincinnati.
Cincinnati would be the loser by this op-
Grafton, for St. Louis holds cut to Memphis
every inducement for the establishment Of
intimate commercial relations with that city
Everything that Memphis wants can be
procured at ST. Louis, whilst the manufac-
tories at Cincinnati would feel the loss Of
the Memphis cotton. The trade of St.
Louis would be in every way as advanta-
geous to Memphis as that Of Cincinnati.
while the good understanding which should
exist between trading communities, would
not be interrupted by such acts Of insult
and violence as Mr. ROBINSON was subject
ed to-
We regret to see these freesoilers stand
ing so much in their own light. Perhaps
they viii stand om Of II when they find
that Memphis and the whole South is indig-
nant at the recent act, and that Memphis is
very able to get along without them.

lWempNiS NAVY Y2rC,

Lieut.. MAURY has written an interesting
letter to the editor of the Memphis Eagle
and Enquirer expressing his regret at the
action of the city council and ably sustain
ing his former views as to the propriety and
practicability Of establishing Navy Yard
at that place. He says that it has been full
ly proved in the present European War,
that small ships AID big guns" are much
more effective than large ships with their
usual armaments, and that small ships can
be built at Memphis and hoated down to the
Gulf of Mexico without any difficulty. He
shows the necessity Of such Naval station,
for the proper security of the gulf, and
points out the absurdity of the idea of pro-
tecting the gulf by ships sent from the
Northern and Eastern Navy Yards. The
English Naval stations at the Bermudas and
at Kingston, Jamaica would interfere with
such aid, and might prevent its arri-
val when most needed. 1t is absolutely ne
cessary that we should be masters on the
Gulf Of Mexico, and to do this efectually,
while mighty foreign power is stationed
at its entrance, we should have ship yard
acitlia the shores of the Gulf where ships
could be built and kept always ready for
its protection, without the danger of inter-
ruption

A SPANISH TRAIr-The fondness Of the
Spaniards for bull-fghts is national char
acteristic. A Madrid correspondent Of the
New Orleans Crescent says that man in
that city actually cut OF his wife s hair while
she was asleep, and sold it for money to en-
able him to see bull-fght 1t is strange
taste, expressive of capacity for sort of
savage joy, and this pervades Spanish char
acter, and tinctures with savageness its bet
ter traits.

SLAVERY IN ILLINoIs-A letter from L.

Constitution which prohibits slavery, and
to take direct vote of the people on the
question Of establishing slavery 1t says
that those engaged in the movement have
already been sounding public sentiment on
the subject and find it singularly favorable,
and in cider to insure its success urge
Southern men to emigrate to Illinois in pre-
ference to Kansas and Nebraska.

70 The following remarks Of the New
York Express" We suppose we're suggest
cd by the melancholy fate Of the steamer
Arctic
Running in tie fog Il knots an hour,
ard the fog % thick that the bow Of the Loaf
could not be seen from the stem To tie stern,
is running a risk which astounds most men
who do not think much Of the subject. 1t
seems to them very much like being shot
cut Of a cannon into the dark, when wall
may be bit or something else as hard. But
if We set down aud calculate upon a voyage
of 5000 miles long, the chances of collis-
sion, in comparison with the small number
Of vessels usually seen on the broad ocean.
these chances are small, very small and,
indeed, 50 small, that upon sailors and cap
tails they produce very little effect. In I'll
times past, the captains Of our packet and
clipper ships, have never paid enough
respect TO these chances, to tempt them 10
stay their progress in the least, and hence
they have always run off the fogey coast Of
New Foundland with the same speed that
they do off the clear coast Of Italy. Tt has
been calculated mathematically by sailors,
that they run no great risk in these fogs un-
der the doctrine of chances, though risk
there certainly Isl; aud hence the conf
dence with which they rush into them and
through them"
