The Russians in the Crimea--Reinforcements.

Our latest accounts inform us that rein
forcements to an immense extent, and inIen-
ded to aid the Russians, were pouring into the
Crimea One letter gives the effective force
of Prince Menschikoff as high as lis, 900
men. and states that of this number, 10, 900
had Joined within the last month. These
troops marched from Pereeop in three columns,
and met with no molestation On their way
The first, which was 30, 900 strong, with 100
guns, under Liprandi, reached Sevastopol
about the middle of October, and got into po-
sition on the 18th, the day after thefirst bonn
bardment. The 80. 900 men belong to Osteu
Sacken's corps The two other columns be-
long to Dannenberg's corps. The first of
them, consisting of % 600 men, reached Sc
vastopol at the end of last month; the other,
20, 600 strong, was in communication with
the main army at the beginning of this month.
1t is highly probable that the force of Prince
Menschikoif is greatly exaggerated; but 1T Is
considered certain that 80, 900 men had arr1-
we'd at Sevastopol before the two Grand Dukes
went to the camp in the Crimea. The Sol
daten Freund states, that although the Rus
sian army is stronger than the Allies, it is not
likely to act together ON the offensive, as
Prince Menschikof has great difficulties In
getting the necessary supplies for his army,
and must be sparing of his ammunition. The
18th Russian infantry division has reinforced
the garrison of Sevastopol. Fifteen thousand
men have been sent from Kicheneff to Odessa
1t is confirmed that General Liprandi was
wounded in the battle of the 5th The Rus
slams confess that,if Sevastopol is taken, their
power In the Black Sea is at end and. there
fore, it will be defended to the last. The
struggle is >murderous one, but the enor-
nous value of the stake must not be lost sig bit

Three New States--An Important Movement
Among the ChOctaWs.

Col. Harkins, the chief of the Choctaw Ma
ton, is said to approve in the most cordlai
manner of the Bill introduced into the Senate
of the limited States. providing for the estab-
l;sbnant of three Territorial Governments out
of the indian territory inhabited by the Choc-
.axr. Cberokees and other Indian tribes with
tbe ,-ovision of their ultimate admission into
tbe Union as States. The Cherokees, says
the St. Louis Republican, under the direction
of John Ross, have manifested strong oppo-
sition to this proposition; but Col. Harkins
and the Choctaws take a more rationakylew
of it, and are willing to accept the terms OF
the bill The Chief in his communication to
the General Council strongly urges immediate
action in the premises, and among other
things says:
1--WE may depend upon it as being a fixed
fact, that our Indian days of peace are forever
departed from us, and that no opposition from
us can stay the onward march of the people of
the United States in their career to greatness,
and the full occupancy of the American con-
tinent. We have no power or influence to
bear upon any movement of the government,
for we are looked upon as children-as wards
under her care and protection, and that she
has the power to do as she pleases with us
There is nothing the Choctaws can do to
change the course Oh lHlHSS IHSlI OHiy
chance to live and exist people, will be
to educate and ciyilize as fast as possible the
rising generation. And surely now is the
time for us to stand together unitedly. We
should consider well our situation, and the
course we are about to pursue at this time,
for one mis-step may prove disastrous and ia
tai to our people. l recommend that the
Council take this matter into consideration,
and appoint committee to report, and point
out the advantages and disadvantages of the
bill to the Choctaws."
The committee, it is stated, had made a re-
port favorable to the bill, but the Council had
taken no final account ON the subject. All
the enlightened Choctaws were for 1.-THE
missionaries arepopposed to it, and will prob
ably influence all the church members to 60
against the bill The Chickasaws are repre-
sented to be adverse to the bill. The Fort
Smith Herald says 80 From the present as
.pect of affairs in the Choctaw nation, we may
safely conclude, that they will soon become
one Of u.s. and hopes, at some future day, to
see Col. Harkins ga member of Congress
from the State of Chata"

The Collision of the Steamer washington

The Tribune of yesterday morning has the
following letter from one of the passengers of
the steamer Washington, describing the mar
row escape of the steamer on her way from
southampton to Bremen -
BREsiEN, Friday, Nov "a, 1854
when you, on Sunday, 10Th Nov, about
two o'clock, were sitting Piietly together, you
did not suspect that at the same moment the
steamer Washington was involved in the same
dangerous position, by which, few weeks
ago, the Arctic and her passengers were de
stroyed- We were costly slipping our tea
when the vessel received a powerful shock
Notwithstanding that three lanterns were
lighted on the Washington, and that there
was a special watch on the forecastle, brig
under full sail had run against us, boring
with its bowsprit hole as large as a man in
our left side, leaving therein the broken splin-
ters of her bow, Striking US again, her bro
Ken timber bored, in another portion of the
iorepart OF the steamer, a second hole with
such a force that the whole bowsprit of the
prig rema'ned IN our vessel Happily, this
water.
Youscan'easily imagine what an excitement
seized upon every body. But the officers did
not lose .nflr presence of mind and the first
thing ordered was to post watch ..s -
boats, armed with loaded pistols to shoot anv
one who should try to seize upon them with.
out an order from the captain. In the inte-
rior of the vessel the chief engineer directed
the necessary repairs, and by his orders the
holes were stopped with mattresses, outside.
The captain himself on ropes above the water,
worked for four hours until the work was
done
1t was the first passage of the Washington
under the command of Capt. Cavendy, and
his passengers have every reason to be salts
ned with his behavior. We could not ascer-
tam what became of the brig as she Instantly
disappeared in the darkness. This accident
took place in. the. Channel, between Dover and
Calais, as We could discern the light on both
sheres.
