of the dnv. anl made his book extremely vulnerable

from The future of Free Snc:civ. This is the very
be-, reason why he should have exhibited Them Tor
he thereby may induce many to eject his nuin doctrine

results TO which il leads w" concur entirely with
the author in his theory Of the necessity of slavery

him in many of his deductions and attempted appli-

We congratulate the public the dawrin- Of this
new philosophy, and trust the learned au;hor will not
content himself with the synUpticnl view in which he
has presented il; but that he will furnish the public
with II more elaborate publication Of his views. We

FROM EUROPE.

New York, Sep. 6.
The Atlantic, with seven days later Euro
pean dates, arrived here this afternoon.
Her adyices are interesting, but contain
no startling news. No further events have
occurred in the progress Of the war. She
brings eopious and Interesting details of the
bombarment of Swcabors aud Of the late
battle on the Tchernaya.
The attack on the Tchernaya was com-
handed by Gortsehakoh. The Russian force
consisted OF FIVE divisions. six thousand ca
yalry, and twenty batteries Of artillery. Three
Russian Generals were killed The French
loss amounted TO nearly 900 killed and over
500 wounded. The English General Reed
was killed. Pelssier saws that the whole
number OF Russians buried was $3.50. The
Russians were not pursued across the river,
but still hold their former position.
Affairs before Sebastopol were generally
unchanged. A despatch Of the 10Th SAYS:
+" The artillery have open their fire upon Sc.
bastopol. but The bombarlment has not com
menced." Prince GortschakOf's latest des-
patch from Sebastopol is dated the 2lst Au-
gust, and saws: The fire Of the Allies has
sensibly diminished, and does but little da.
mage"
The Russian division between Kars and
Erzernum, having been reinforced, marched
upon kenpri.Keni. They drove tile Turkish
troops from their position. and finally encamp.
ed three leagues from Erzeroum.
Four Russian steamers sunk in Bertiansk
Bay had been blown up by the English, and
the suburbs Of the town were burnt. 4 Bril-
tish gunboat went ashore during the attack,
and was taken By the Russians, together with
a compete code nf the Allies Signals
There is no political news Of Importance
in England. Various rumOrs were current
about new peace project, but We have no
thing authentic. Austria i said TO have sub.
mittcd new proposition. Il is also said
that she will come out dccidly for the Allies
aud, further, that she will permanently &C.
eupy some portion Of the Turkish territory
and reconstruct The map Of Italy.
Rumnrs were current to the effect that the
accession Of Spain TO the Western alliance is
complete, and that similar negotiations with
Denmark and Sweden were all but ratified.
The Berlin papers state that Austria has
declared that She will treat according to mil.
itary law every individual found tampering
with Austrian soldiers with view Of Undue.
ing them to join tie Anglo.ltaia legion.
Queen Victoria was received with great
enthusiasm in France.
