MAN MIsslNG. We are informed by an in
telligent young man from Dix Island, that on
Sunday last, four men in returning from Dun
toms pheasant Isle) to Dix Island, in state
of intoxication, stopped at dry ledge in mid
passage to settle some differences which had
arisen on the excursion. At about midnight,
all Of the men except Burke, (the missing
man) were taken off by passing vessel, to
whom>the three men, whose names are not
given, represented that the wherry had driited
off during the evening, and whether Burke
was in it or not they could give no account
Their account Of the matter seemed to have
been confused and contradictory, and the fact
that part of bloody shirt has been 6shed up
near the ledge, and that one of the men was
found in possession Of the hat and wallet Of the
missing man, creates suspicion that there was
foul play. aaea
The wherry was about twelve feet long,
painted slate color, and as it is possible that
Burke, dead or alive, may have been in her
when she left the ledge, our informant desires
search to be made for it along the shores Of
the adjacent Islands---RockldndG Gazette.

President Pierce.

We take the following record from the lead
ing paper of his native State. Read it and then
decide for yourself if there is a more brilliant
record in the Union,-or one that carries with
il higher proof of exalted talents =
" In 1924, General Pierce left college with
high reputation for schoIarship,-in 1929 he
was elected to the legislature as the represen-
tative Of his native town,-in 1881 and '32,
being one of the youngest among two hundred
and fifty members, he was Speaker of the
House,-in 1888 he was reelected member
of Congress, in 1885 he was elected by more
than 5000 majority. In December, 1886, he
was elected to the U. S. Senate, and took his
seat in that body March 4, 1887, in 1843 he
resigned his seat in the Senate, and until lS47,
devoted himself exclusively to vast and lu-
crative practice-holding position of undis-
puted pre-eminence at the bar of this state
In Is45 he was appointed to fill the vacancy
in the q. S. Senate, occasioned by the resig-
nation of Judge Woodbury., upon the transfer
Of the latter TO the Bench of the Supreme
Court of the United States, but declined the
appointment. In l846 he declined the ap-
pointment of Attorney General of the United
States, rendered to him by President Polk
But when volunteers for the Mexican war
were called for during the same year, he en-
rolled himself private sfor during the war;
In February, lS47, he was appointed Colonel
of the 9th Infantry, and promptly raised that
regiment Soon afterwards he was commits
stoned Brigadier General, and commanded a
Brigade during the stirring campaign of the
Valley Of Mexico In 1913, after the close of
hostlilies, he resigned his commission in the
army and resumed his place at the Bar Of the
stste, and during the same year, was rendered
by the unanimous voice of the democratic par
ty nomination as its candidate for Governor,
which he declined. In 1850, he was mem
Der of the Convention for the revision of the
Constitution of this State, and by that body,
comprised of such men as Levi Woodbury.,
Charles G. Atherton, lchabod Bartlett, Levi
Chamberlain, William Plummer, James Bell,
Daniel M Christie, George w. Nesmith,
Daniel Abbott, George Y. Sawyer, Edmund
Parker, Andrew Pierce, Edwin D. Sanborn
and other gentlemen of eminence, General

Reputation of Known othingism in
Georgia.

One of the most important results of the re-
cent election in Georgia is the repudiation of
know nothingism. The Savannah Georgian
says though apparently the soil in which the
foul exotic would last take root, know-nothing
ism was early transplanted to Georgia by
whom, and in what manner, it concerns US not
now to say. Suffice it, that after one of the
fiercest and hardest fought battles won since
the days of her unanimous RepubG Rnism, she
repudiates lis heretical doctrines. She repu-
dates its .oaths, its contemplate mummery,
its rituals, its hydraheaded constitutions, and
all its infamous secret machinery. She repu-
dates its heretica doctrines, its religious pro-
scription, its prescription of virtuous class of
citizens because of the place of their birth, its
rank federalism She repudiates it in form
and in substance, in its principles and in its
organization. She repudiates il entirely and
spurns it from her forever.

The nunishment

n,nss domestic insurrection. The punishment
oflawless men rests with the judiciary, not
| with the executive. The actual settlers OF
Kansas will ultimately settle these local DIS
sensions. The organic law of the territory
provides peaceful remedy. If a lawless leg
islature enact unconstitutional laws in Kan
sas, as a lawless legislature has just done in
Massachusetts, the courts will pass upon them.
There is the remedy, like the peaceful rem
edy of law and constitution, provided for all
evils in our democratic institutions, Not by
violence, not by usurpation of military despot-
ism by the President, not by civil war between
the North and South. Geographical parties
cannot remedy these local evils. Voting all
together at the north against the south would
effect nothing but sectional evaporation, and
fighting would be civil war.
How plain it is. then, to calm common
sense, that this sectional Fusion party of the
North can do no good to the slave or to the
country. The whole Of their party policy
comes down TO the solution of the political
problem, how long the two sections, north and
south, can stand elimination, irritation and
collision, before they shall come to the shock
OF civil war and disunion. The north is to
combine in grand foray upon the south, and
tie her to the sectional rack, while these fu-
sion doctors, so much wiser than Washington,
who warned us against geographical parties,
are to feel the pulse of the Union and tell us
how much torture it will before the patient
expires! In plain language, this new fusion
art-savery party, which is to swallow up ev-
cry other party except the democracy, is to
start for revolution or Northern Confedera-
cy. So that, after forty years, we are, here
in New England and New York, carried back
to the old conspiracy for Northern Confed-
GRAFTON against the South which John Quincy
Adams has left upon record went SO far in the
old federal and democratic collisions between
north and south, 'that The proposal had been
made 10 an individual to be placed at the head of
the military increment ,ohich it ,ras .foreseen
,could be necessary for carrying IL into ereol-
lion. Letter Of J. g. Adams to Harrison G..

Great Battle with Chinese Pirates.

The navy department have letters from the
U. S. steam frigaie Powhattan, Capt. VIM.

August last, in which an engagement on the
llh OF that month between divisions Of boats
from that ship and IL. b. Ms steam sloop,
Rather, under the direction of Commander
VIM. A. Fellows, and large fleet of piraiical
iunks which had infested that neighborh0od,
and had committed extensive depredations on
commerce Capt. Fellows fell in with them
first on the % OF August, and chased them in
tu shallow water, and then went back to Hong
Kong for American aid.
List OF the Americans killed and wounded
Killed-Joseph A. Hulsey and Isaac Co),
Iandsmen. Wounded-Lieut R. B. Pegram,
commanding the boats, and Lieut.. H. Rolan-

A. Taylor, captain after guard-all seriously;
Chas. Tingworth, seaman.
The feet of piratical junks fought at anchor
with great desperation with round shot, grape,
&C., and as the attacking boats came within
one hundred yards, with canstersh0t. Lieut..
ROlan0O was Inc nTSt 10 DOdrO a twenty gun
/ Junk, and took her. Each boat then singled
out junk and attacked it, the latter fighting
with great desperation, indeed, and in one case
blowing up twenty gun junk, engaged hand
to hand with the Rattler's (British) gig
Lieut.. Rolando' S boat was aiding that of the
Rather at the time, and both Capt. Fellows
and Lient. R. were blown overheard, as well
as many of the Powhattan's men. Most Of
the casualties mentioned above occurred in
that affair. Private Adamson of the marines
| greatly distinguished himself. The British
and Americans We'd with each other, and the
enemy fought with desperation.
The result was the destruction of ten war
junks, mounting on an average from Is TO IL
guns from to 68 Founders. Six junks and
torches, prizes TO the pirates, were re-taken !;
sixteen smaller junks escaped, one Of which
! subsequently getting aground was bsrned.
| 1t is thought that between five and SIX hun
dred of the pirates were killed, wounded and
| drowned during the engagement. The joint
expedition was commanded by Commander
Fellows, (British) and the Americans en-
gagged Immediately by Lieut.. Pegram.

SEVEN DAYS LATER

II ~ -E
The steamship Atlantic arrived at New
York Thursday morning, with Liverpool ad-
vices to Oct. 9th, one week later than the pre-
vious news.
The allies have mounted large number of
mortars at Sevastopol preparatory TO bonn
harding the Russian position on the north side,
Sevastopol was to be blown up by the al
lies, mines being sunk for that purpose.
Prince Gortschakoff's army was threatened
by large forces of the allies, from Eupatoria
and Badar.
On the 2Oth Of Sept the Russians were de-
feated near Eupatoria by French Cavalry
Loss of fifty killed and so wounded. French
loss killed and 81 wounded.
Gortschakoff on the Sd Of October reports
an Intellectual movement on his left flank.
The fleet sailed on secret expedition, sup
posed Nicolaieff or Odessa.
The Russians seem determined to meet the
campaign vigorously.
The Emperor went TO Odessa. He has is
sued an encouraging address to the Russian
people, and will shortly be in the Crimea.
A collision was anticipated between the
Western Powers and the King Of Greece, on
account of Bomba's Russian pfopensities.
The Russians had captured a Turkish Con-
voy at Kars, with provisions, together with
1000 horses and 800 men.
Kars still held out, but its provisions were
nearly exhausted. 1t was thought, however,
that the snow would soon compel the Russians
to retire.
The correspondent of the London News as
serts that the Russians are pushing prepara-
tions for the evacuation os the North Forts Of
Sevastopol.
Gortschakoff has issued a hopeful address
to his soldiers. He admits the loss Of 500
to 1000 men per day for thirty days previous
TO the close of the siege, but he says in con-
clusion, Sevastopol only enchained us to its
walls. We are now free, and new war
commences. A letter from Rovel estimates
the Russian Marine losses in that part of the
Baltic at 4O, 900 tons.
Delisle, Janvria & Co., merchants of Lon
don, had failed for f40O,O0O They were
engaged principally in the Canadian trade.
Messrs. Dennistown & Co. report cotton
dull, prices further declined l-3 cent per lb-,
and close heavy sales for the week, 40,lsO
bales.
Manchester market quiet, little business
done.
Brown, Shipley & Co. report quality of
new wheat not promising old is in active de-
mand at full prices. Flour in better request
Indian Corn quiet.
There was now another rise, the discount
rate being now l-2 per cent.
The food question still remains serious both
in France and Germany.
In France the Government has interfered 10
regulate he prices Of butchers meat.
The new Danish Constitution has been pro-
mulgated at Copenhagen. Prince Ferdinand,
uncle TO the King, having refused his sigma
ture, was dismissed from the command of
Zealand.
The restrictions on the importation Of salt
into Russia have been abolished.
The revenue returns of Great Britain show
an increase of nearly eight and one-halt mil
lions sterling, owing chiefly to the additional
income tax.

- The exhibition of the South Kernebec
Cattle Show and Fair last week, was very nu-

of the different classes of articles on exhihi-

were of unusual interest. The first premium

that it no longer commanded the confidence Of
the people; that its principles would never
again be in the ascendant,-in short, it was
DYING. But time brings changes to parties as
well as men. A twelvemonth has passed, and
those who were eager to pronounce the death.
of the democratic party, are themselves in need
of an epitaph. Thought by its enemies to be
dead, the democratic party has sprung into
new life; from being vanquished, it has be-
come victor, and is more firmly than ever en-
ihroned in the hearts Of the American people.
The passing storm has spent its fury, and has
left the democratic party invincible, and better
than ever prepared to resist the assaults Of its
enemies
