Cheap Bread movement.

They have held an Indignation meeting
In Boston,, against the bakers and butchers
there, with view TO devise some means
OF protection against the powerful monop-
o'ists of the city who are represented 10
have organized together to keep the cost
of food at starvation prices. The Presi-
dent of the MT eters that beef which costs
them 81 cents per pound on The foot is
worth 81 cents when dressed, and yet he
had been assured by Paran Stevens that
the pieces purchased for roasting for his
tables al the fremont and Revere Houses,
had cost him 20 cents per h., during the
past SIX months. Butchers and market
men in Cincinnati had informed the speak
er that agents of New York aud Boston
provision dealers kept up the prices in
that city by purchasing at the highest rates
and sending the produce East, where, as
they say, then can obtain any price asked.
The speaker also exhibited couple of
loaves Of bread, one of which he paid five
cents for, very meagre loaf-and the
other loaf of generous size, which, he
said, could he sold for five cents, land leave
a margin of 80 per cent. profit TO the ba-
ke1s.
In closing his remarks he recommen-
ded the formation of combination TO OPP
pose the combination now existing, or IN
other words, to organize Joint Stock
Commercial House for the protection OF
the people against the present monopoly.

UEKoIsM OF A Doc IN THE CRIMEA.-
The following account of the exploits OF a
dog in the Crimea, which we translate from
the Gazette of Trieste, surPaSses every
thing heretofore recorded OF the devotion
and bravery of this noble animal:
"a great sensation has been caused N
the camp of the Allies by the heroic deedS
of dog belonging to Colonel MeNnahh'
of the 73rd regiment of the line. On the
IGlh of August, during the battle oil the
Tchernsya, the quadruped broke his chain'
Tough, in the ranks OF The army, saved me
life of sergeant and soldier, and took
three Russian prioners. A bail struck his
foot, but the wound only eurbltered the
animal the more. He threw himself upon
a Russian officer, flung him the ground
and dragged him prisoner by his coat col,
lar to the French. A physician has bound
I'D the wound, and the four footed hero Is
convalescing. He will probably receive
some mark of honor, IS another aog IN
the English army has been rewarded WIN
medal for his devotion to his master.

THE "KANsAs SENTINEL,

This is the title Of q paper to be established
in the new Territory Of Kansas. 1t will be
published and edited by John 7. Brady and
Edmon Byerly, esqs. The prospectus states
that
:" 1t will advocate the exclusive right of the
people of the Territories to regulate their own
municipal affairs.
:" 1t will fearlessly denounce any attempt Of
Congress to legislate upon the subject of sla-
very in the States or Territories.
/" 1t will boldly maintain and advocate the
constitutional rights of the South, and will ad-
vocate and defend the wholesome utility Of
Southern institutions.
g"It will use all honorable means to sustain
and maintain permanently upon the rich soil
Of Kansas the institutions Of the South"
The terms are for the weekly $500; Tri.
weekly $6,OO-in advance. Address of editors
Westport, Missouri.
The above chart of principles will command
the appreciation Of all who value the constitu-
ton, recognize the rights of the States, and
feel an interest in the proper settlement of the
young Territory Of Kansas. We wish success
to this new enterprise, and hope that it will be
cheered and encouraged by the patronage Of
the citizens of the old slave-holding States
for they are most deeply interested in the sue
cess of the principles and objects which it
promises to advocate.

Bancroft against Know-n gIsm.

The great historian, in an address recently
delivered before the New York Historical So
ciety, spoke eloquently and justly of the obli-
cations due from the American people. He
views the great subject from an elevated stand
point, and his utterance of truth meets with a
warm and cordial response from the hearts Of
all truly patriotic men. lie says:
sour land is more the recipient of all coun.
tries than of their ideas. Annihilate the past
of any one leading nation in the world, and
our destiny would have been changed. Italy
and Spain, in the persons of Columbus and Is
abella, joined together for the great discovery
that opened America to emigration and com
merce; France contributed to its indepen.
dence; the search for the origin Of the language
we speak, carries US to India; our religion is
from Palestine; of the hymns sung in our
churches, some were first heard in Italy, some
in the desert of Arabia, some on the banks oi
the Euphrates our arts come from Greece, our
jurisprudence from Rome, our maritime code
from Russia. England taught US the system
of representative government; the noble repub-
lie Of the United Provinces bequeathed to US,
in the world of thought, the great idea of the
liberation Of all opinons-in the world of ac-
ton, the prolific principles Of Federal Union
Our country stands therefore, more than any
other, as the realization Of the unity Of the
races es.n-MontyomeT advertiser.
