TuG NEws.-The main features of the Afri-
ca, news, which dates to the lst inst, consist
in details Of the battle of Tchernaya and the
operations that preceded it. From the official
reports, il turns out to have been a decided
victory for the Allies. Another Russian at
Rack upon the Allies in the vicinity Of Gene
z.Iy, was anticipated. 1t is announced defn-
itely tina; Omar Pacha is to take the command
IL Asia. Nothing important has been receir-
81 from the Baltic Sea or kars.
The reports of Gems. Simpson and Pelissier
..ate that the Russian attack on Tchcrnaya
VAS deliberate effort TO raise the siege. If
they had succeeded in holding the heads, they
intended further al ack upon the four points.
The documents found on Il dead Russian Gen
eral clearly Indicate this. Gen. Simpson es;i-
mates the Russian force at 81, 900 infantry and
G,000 cavalry, with l60 guns. The French had
only II 600 men and four batteries engaged; the
Sariinians 800 men and "a guns; and the
English only battery. The Russians adj

sRd THRICE carried the bridge crowning the
Heights, but were repnlsed. Their retreat
was covered by the Russian batteries. Gen.
Peilissier calls the French loss IL officers kill
ed and SO wounded; l72 men killed, l50 miss
ing, and I160 wounded. The Sardcnaa loss is
$50 in killed and wounded. The Russian loss
i, 5000 killed and 1000 wounded, and 800
wounded prisoners. The Russians admit great
losses. Three of their Generals were killed.
The Russians engaged the battle had just
arrived in the Crimea. Gen. Simpson says
the ReGan and Malakof were bombarded on
tie 18th, with rs much effect as was anticipated.
Prince Gortschaxof OFT telegraphs on the night
OF the 27th, that affairs at Sebastopoi were un-
changed, the fire of the Allies being OCCASION
ally very strong. It is reported that General
Simpson is i'll, and that Gen. Bentinek has ia
ken the command. The Allies are preparing
10 cross the TcherHaya, and active operations
are delayed until this movement is Effected
Omar Pacha was 10 leave for Treiozorde on the
DIST Nothing reliable has been received from
safs or Erzsroum. The Russians had re-es-
tablishcd their communications between Gen
lschi and Arabat. ,l-~-.5.
The Allied fleet in the Baltic had been or
dsred TO retire from before Cronstadt, the dis
abled gun-boats only returning home. Private
letters state that the Russian loss in the bom-
bardmsnt of Swsaborg was not less than 200
men. ole Nord,'' on the contrary, says that
only so men were killed, and that 1900 guns

Kansas Legislature, the following telegraphc
dispatch relative of the proceedings OF that in

bill in regard to all territorial officers by the
present legislature has become Law, and the

The following, however, have been elected so
far. TO wit: lst district, Charles Grover I'd

Brady.
From ihis it will be seen that the biz where
by the Kansas Soons enacted that all officers
in the Territory for the term Of sir ye1rs eHsn-
ing should be filled by the present Legislature
has become a law, and We are free to say that
a more infamous invasion of the rights of any
people, a more unwarranted assumption OF
power not delegated, was never perpetrated
by any assembly that ever sat in even revolu-
uonary France. Not content with leglsiat'nG
themselves into office in violation OF the or
ganic law of the TerrItory-not satisfied Win
denying to the inhabitants and citizens OF
Kansas the constitutional rights OF free speech
and free press--but beyond and abore al!

they, the Legislature, will now undertake 10
appoint of their free will and accord the
sherifis, constables, attorneys, tax assessors,
and all local officers, not for the coming year
