BREACH OF THE NEUTRALITY LAWS.

The trial of Charles Hertz and Etltyard H.
Perkins, charged with having enlisted men in
the United States for the British service in the
Grimea which has for some days past occupied
the United States District Court sitting at Phil
adelphla, was brought to close on Thursday.
Perkins was acquitted, and Hertz was con-
victed on all the counts in the indictment. He
has not yet been sentenced. The penalty pro-
vided by law is a fine of not more than ono
thousand dollars, and imprisonment not exceed
ing three years. The law is very explicit in
forbidding any person within the Territory or
surisdiction of the United States to enlist or
Or enter himself, or hire or retain another per-
son to enlist or enter himself, to 60 beyond the
inits or jurisdictioH of the United States with
intent to be enlisted or entered in the service
# any foreign prince, state, colony, district, or
eople, as q soldier" &c. The testimony elected
IN this trial seems to implicate in violation
If our neutrality laws several high functionaries
If the British Government.
NEBRASKA TERRITORY has been organized so
peacefully as to afford a singular contrast to
The violence and outrage characterizing the
proceedings in Kansas 1t seems, however,
that there were some queer doings in Nebraska,
at the election for members OF the Territorial
Legislature, though nothing was said about
them. For INSTANCE, man named Purple,
who acted as a member OF that body from Burt
county, narrated recently, in Chicago, the in
genious manner in which he was returned.
Thus:
I, Cummings, the Secretary said to me ore
Eorning, 'Purrle, we want a member from
liurt county, So / harnessed up, and took
sane fellows with me, and we started for the
: Gods; and when we thought we had got about
Jar enough for Burt county, we gnpacked our
sllot-Lox and held an election, canvassed the
este, and it was astonishing to observe how
feeat was the unanimity at the first election
ever held in Burt county Purple had erery
cote! So Purple was declared duly elected.

Popular sovereignty seems TO be great in
stitution in the new Territories.
The WELSH ELEMENT of our population is
more important than is generally supposed. AT
the present time there are estimated to be in
the United States about fifty thousand natives
of Wales. Besides this, it is said that there
we're of Welsh origin seventeen of the eigners
OF the Declaration of independence, six Presi-
dents of the United States, and fourteen Revo-
lutionary Generals. The Presidents we're JEFF
ferson, John Adams and his son, Monroe, Mad
ison. and Harrison. Washington's wife, it is
asserted, was the grand daughter OF Welsh
clergyman; and Jonathan Edwards Yale, the
founder of Yale College, John Marshall, and
Richard Henry Lee, are also elassea as Of
Welsh origin.

Everything is quiet on the Tchernaya, and
we are vigilant there.
The French Minister of war also received the
following news:
Crimea, Sept. 9, 8 p. M-This morning 1
ascertained that the enemy has sunk his steam
erS.
Their work of destruction continued under
the fire of our shells.
The explosions of mines successfully, and on
different points, made it our duty to defer our
entrance into the place, which presents the spec
tacle OF an immense confagration.
Closely pressed by our fire, Prince Gortscha-
kof has demanded an armistice, to carry away
the remainder OF the wounded near Fort St.
Paul.
The bridge, as precautionary measure, has
been broken down by his orders.
l am collecting the returns of our losses, and
you shall have them as soon as ready.
All goes On WELL

Russian Accounts.-Prince Gortschakoff tel
egraphed:
Se6astopol, Sept 9, p M-The enemy re-
ceives constantly reinforcements of fresh troops.
The bombardment is fercely violent.
Ten at Night.-The garrison at Sebastopol,
after sustaining an Internal fire, fen Fenter, J
repulsed six assaults, but could not drive the
enemy from the Kornileff Bastion 1.-THE Malakoff
Tower.)
Our brave troops, who resisted to the last ex-
tremity, are now crossing over to the northern
part of Sebastopol.
The enemy found nothing in the southern
part but blood-stained ruins.
On the 9th of September, the passage of the
garrison from the southern to the northern part
was accomplished with extraordinary success,
our loss on that occasion being but one hundred
men.
We left, | regret to say, nearly FIVE hundred
men grievously wounded on the southern side.
Denmark.-A letter, dated Berlin, Aug. A,
says: Austria is said to have offered her medi-
tation to Denmark in her difference with the
United States. Doubts are entertained as to
whether the United States will consent to the
compromise which Denmark intends proposing,
of lowering the Sound duties generally, but
Prussia would be quite ready to accept it.
Russia.-A telegraphic dispatch from st.
Petersburgh states that the Gar intends leav-
ing there on the 18th, for Moscow. AT Warsaw
he will be attended by Count Nesselrode, who
will, it is thought, arrange an interview for
him with the King of Prussia.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT.

By Telegraph from London TO liverpool.
London, Sept Is. ii A. M-The Paris cor
respondent Of the Times says it is reported that
$4,000 men have embarked at Balakava for the
the north Of Sebastopol; also, that the Russians
are in full retreat toward Perekop.
The Paris Debdts contains an editorial arti-
Gle, discussing the question whether Sebastopol
is tenable by the Allies, while the Russians are
masters of the forts on the north side, fronting
the sea, and asserts that the town is quite tena-
BILE, the possession of Fort Chorsone and Bala-
klava superseding the necessity of entering the
harbor. The Russian armies will probably con-
tinue in observation within their strong positions
until the Allies make some movement-hence,
all speculation as to the plan Of the campaign
must be purely imaginary.
