Two British ships had fired on Riga with
out effect.
The squadron at sea continued to destroy
stores, and the British in the sea of Azof
have blown up and destroyed several Rus

The affairs before Sebastopol were quiet
and unchanged, as we'll as at Kars.
The Russian loss at the battle of the Te-
hernays is nearly 1000 killed. The Allies
only lost 1000. The Russians were not
pursued across the River but held their for
mer position.
According to the Russian account of the
bolnbardment of Sweaborg the Allies appear
to have done but little damage besides the
burning Of the public stores. He says no
damage whatever has been done to the forti-
fications, batteries or guns. He closes his
dispatches on the evening of the 18th thus
{" The enemy remain at their old anchor
age, and do not renew the attack"

for an armisticc to bury the dead. Pelisier
says the whole number of Russians buried
was 1927 GOO were taken prisoners.

his labor reduced, and salary retained the

that office without giving to the United States
the security required by LAWS given the
registership of the land office. Maj. Robin

Delawares, fierce pro-slavery man, has had
his agency divided and his salaty raised $500,
while the new agency is given to Robert Mil

4 Certain SRI-Hocfsd Indiriduol to Pay
and no Pitch Hot ~

The Democrat of Monday evening con.
tains the following startling intelligence from
Red Wing, communicated, by telegraph, no
doubt, by Mr.. Rice, who is said to have
landed at Red Wing ON Monday morning
from the steamer Galena. The fact that his
electioneering stores fell prey to the
"mob spirit" of the temperance men of
Red Wing, ere he had chance to carry
them into the interior, is awful to contem-
plate or agitate at the agitating moment of
this agitation But read, read:
"On Saturday, the first instant, the Re-
publicans held mass meeting at Red Wing,
at which the usual amount of treason was
preached, by Messrs. Marshall and Wilkin-
son. Mark the consequences of their ap-
peals to mob violence!
"After the meeting, small Republican
mob proceeded to a warehouse where lot
of merchandise, belonging to Mr. Smith,
of Mantorvillc, was stored. On their arri-
val at the warehouse, the mob broke open
and destroyed two barrels of liquor belong
ing to Mr.. Smith. We have the full parti.
culars of the outrage from reliable citizen
of Red Wing, and can give names.
" Such arc the doctrines, it appears, that
Messrs. Marshall and Wilkinson are advc4
eating. We are not surprised! A resort to
mob law is a fundamental principle of Re
publican faith, where an exercise of the
reasoning faculties fail. We would advise
our citizens to guard we'll their property.
when Abolition orators visit their localities,
to indulge in scditious appeals"

lican mob !" He is one of the Winneba-

in his pocket-swearing that he verify be-

at Red Wing on the night previous to Will
kinson's and Marshall's speeches, had some
thing to do with the getting up of this
Whisky Rebellion"
AND STILL LATER!
Wilkinson stands the shock admirably,
but Marshall is expected to run right away
from it, and clear out of sight of Rice, when
he learns of this catastrophical catastrophe

A,chison for Prssidsn,.

The "Squatter Sovereign" Stringfellow's
paper, nominates DAVID R. ArcHIsoN for
President, and @hopes that the next Nation
al Congress will be the last that will ever

Pierce Administration, and Rice holds to
Atchison's principles in regard TO the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise And the conse-
quent establishment of Slavery in Kansas,
and also claims to have greater influence with
Pierce than any other man in Minnesota
Stringfellow's Squatter Sovereign is the Kan

the Democrat is their organ in Minnesota
And yet this same Democrat would have our
people believe that it is monstrously in love
with the Union-and all the while it is 81

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS AT SHAKopEE.
We learn that the Rice "party" was reg
ularly Cleaned out" at the Democratic Con-
vention of Scott and Rice counties, held yes
terday. Hon. William A. Davis, formerly
of st. Paul, but now of Belle Plain, Scott
county, was nominated for the Council, and
regular Olmsted men nominated for the
House. An interesting fight, without COM
ing to blows, took place between the dele
gates of the two factions. Lawyer Brown,
late from the iron-bound hills of New Hamp-
shire, was the leader on the Rice side. The
Republicans of that district will make their
nominations in few days.

Il The Cincinnati Enquirer dcnounces
the Gneytown affair as an outrage and a
disgrace TO our Government. This is all
very true, no doubt. But the curiosity of
the thing consists in the fact that that PAPER
has just now found out the extent Of this
outrage. The accident by which this was
ascertained arose from the announcement
that Senator Borland, the hero of that af-
fair, has lately joined the Knor- Nothings. If
ne had remained faithful to the Administra-
ton, the destruction of Greytown would
have remained very proper event!
