Health NJ Stnnntnn.

Every resident of this place will testify that
the health of the town is better this season than
it has been for many years; yet we continue to
hear reports from rival "cities" of sickness pre-
vsiling here to an alarming extent. A gentleman
informed US few days ago, that when he was
on the point Of leaving place not hundred
miles distant, for Staunton, he was told that, be-
sides the small pox, typhoid fever and dysentery
were raging in this community, and several per
sons who contemplated visiting US were thus de-
TERED from coming, This circumstance was re-
lated in the presence several citizens of Staun-
ton, and not one of them was aware of a single
case of sickness in the place, except one, and that
was the case Of stranger who arrived some weeks
before suffering with a chronic disease.

Tho American oonvontlon.

A committee of the American party at Lyach-
burg have issued another call for State Conven-
ton in that place on the 18th of September
The National American thinks the time too early,
and recommends postponement till the latter
part Of October. We concur in the opinion, and
hope the suggestion will be adopted. The rea-
sons urged by the American seem to us conclu-
sive. The time named is enc of the busiest in
the whole year TO TWO classes of persons most
likely to be appointed delegates, namely, farmers
and merchants; and moreover, says the Amer-
can: "There seems at this time greater lack of
interest in political matters than we have ever
before seen. 1t is very natural that this should
be. We last May finished canvass Of some
seven months duration, during which the politi-
cal mind of Virginia was excited to its EXTREMIST
tension. AS the lull follows the tempest, so has
relaxation naturally followed this oversraned ex-
citemeat The season too has been busy one
to the farmer, and has demanded his attention too
fully to allow him the time necessary to keep up
his interest in political matters"

Death OF a Stranger.

On the 18th inst. gentleman arrived at the
American Hotel in this place, and registered him
self as S. j. Stowell, New York city. He was
laboring under chronic diarrhea, and gradually de-
clined in health till Friday night last, when he
died. His manners and appearance were gentle
manly, and from books and papers in his posses
sion it is presumed that he was minister of the
Episcopal Church, and also that his home was in
Bermuda While he remained at the Hotel he
was very reserved, sought the acquaintance of no
one, and communicated very little information a
bout himself Every attention, we feel sure, was
shown him by the proprietors of the Hotel and
his physician, which his circumstances required.

The canvass for Governor, now progressing in
Ohio, is watched with great interest throughout
the country There are three parties in the field
Medill is the candidate of the Democracy, Chase
of the Freesoil Abolition-F usionists, and E1-
Governor Trimble of the Americans. The last
named gentleman is native of Virginia, and we
believe of this county. His letter accepting the
nomination of the American Party shows him to
be true friend of the Constitution, and in every
way worthy of the new honor which has been con-
ferred upon him. While not an advocate ofslav-
cry, he says:
"If always to have advocated National prin-
cipleS, broad enough to comprehend, cherish, and
protect all the varied interests of the different
States in our great coniederacy, and to have been
at no time a member of any other than national
party, and the supporter Of none other than men
of National character; and if to have abhorred
and opposed any sectional party, constitute lover
of the Union Then have endeavored to be SUCH"

rnrnsion OF mexico.

The late news from Texas confirms the report
that an expedition is organizing in Texas to aid
the Mexican revolutionists in overthrowing the
Government of Santa Anna. Capt. Henry, for
merly Of the Texan Rangers, the leader of the
expedition, has issued two prooamatons. one to
the people of Texas and the other to the people Of
Mexico, setting forth the objects he has in view.
There is a remarkable inconsistency between
the two documents. In the address to the people
Of Texas ne speaks of going to establish Gov
ernment in Mexico favorable to the interests of
Texas, with final intention Of extending the
proud American eagle for its projections" to the
Mexicans he says nothing about annexation-all
his efforts are for God and liberty !" He says:
sour only wish, the only reward we seek for,and
with which we shall return happy to our fresides,
is to see re-established the federal system, and to
secure treaties by which the interests of both
countries shall be protected" Sc. He disclaims
any intention to violate the neutrality laws Of the
United States, and is indignant at the idea
of being accused OF fllibustering. The move
ment will undoubtedly result in sumo new trouble
with Mexico. unless speedily arrested by the u
nted States Government; but the National Intel-
gencer laments that our Legislation looks rather to
the punishment than to the prevention Of often

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 30, 1855.
Sebastopol.

A writer in the last number of the Ednburg
Review. undertakes to explain why the Allies
have not vet succeeded in capturing Sebastopol.-
According to the previous notions of military en-
gineers no fertilization could for long time resist
REGULAR siere. Ii was estimated that the most
perfec fortifcation could not hold out longer than
thirty.six days This was the case partly be-
cause the masonry of the fort being once damaged
could not be repaired, and if it were preached it
laid the place open and brought down the parapet
and guns with it,-partly, also, because the form
of the works enabled the Nesiegers to choose po-
stions where their fire WIS greater than the di-
rect fire which could be brought to bear on them,
aud also because the besiegers are always more
numerous than the besieged. Under ordinary
circumstances, therefore, after the besiegers had
opened their parallels and gone through the pre-
scrbed routine, the place, unless relieved from
without, surrendered as a matter of course. But
Sevastopol still refuses to yield, and from all &C
counts is stronger now than when it was first in
vested.
The successful defence of Sistria BY the Turks
during the present war,appears to have first open
ed the eyes of scientific engineers to the fact that
such thing was possible. This place was de-
Tended by earth works, which are easily repaired
and when one was about to give away another
was quietly thrown up behind it, and the guns re-
moved. BY this plan of operations the Turks
kept the Russians at bay from the 5th of May tc
the 22nd of June, when the siege was raised.
In striking contrast to the defence Of SiliSria is
the capture of Bomarsund by the Allies. This
place, situated in the Baltic, is fortified after the
most approved methods, but was captured in q
few hours. The Governor with 2200 men sur
rendered at discretion, although the number Of
men actually employed on the part of the Allies
was under one thousand. Why the other fortifi.
cations in the Baltic, constructed of masonry, are
not taken in the same way, does not appear.
The Russians have profted by their experience
at Silistria and Bomarsund. They have used the
same expedient of earthenwOrk parallels at Sevas
topol which the Turks found SO efficient at Slis-
tria. The defences at which the Allies have been
hammering are nothing more than outposts, east
ly constructed and easily repaired, and the Origi-
nal Publications have not yet been attacked
These are far stronger and more perfect than they
were when the first bombardment terminated in
November last. The Edinburg insists, however,
that the place must fall some of these times, al
though late advices report that the Allies medi-
tate retiring in disgust. The British papers say
hat having captured Kamiesch and other places.
and thus having Sevastopol ''by the throat, "
there is now no use in continuing the siege.

The LOUISVILLE RioTs.-The LOUISVILLE
Journal of Wednesday, in abiding to the aihda-
Wits published with regard to the riots, says:
Never on earth was fact more clearly and TIL
umphanty and incontesilbly established by the
sworn testimony of unmPeachabIe men and wo-
men of all parties and all religions, than the fact
that the bloody riots were commenced in our quiet
streets by German and Irish, armed and Infatuated
by native denagogues. As yet there is nothing
to counterfeit that testimony, nothing to weigh
against it, excep! the Irresponsible assertions OF
Sag NIGHT editors, founded upon nobody knows
what. And still other af1idavts can be and in all
probability will be procured and published reveal
inc facts that will si further starte and shock the
mind of the community facts which certain per-
sons will shrink from the sight Of as from the pres
ence ola spectre. A feeble promise has been held
oufrom day TO day of certificates to prove the Sag
NIGHT statements, yet sixteen days have elapsed
since the election, and the certificates are not
forthcoming. If there are such things, let them

Jew. In his earliest youth he was engaged with
his father in the extensive and dangerous SNUG

such extraordinary results. On giving up this
trade, aud entering the army, he remained until

Whatever may have been the facts in the
Louisville case, no explanation can alter the opin-
ion of thoughtful and unprejudiced men and this
will be, that associations to put down foreigners
and Catholics can only result in tumult and blood
shed.-Boston .4Li0s
If men cannot associate peaceably together and
agree not to support the foreigners and Catholics
for office without being attacked by foreigners and
Catholics with deadly weapons, the fact affords
the strongest possible evidence that the associa-
ton was not formed soon enough. If American
citizens, because they use the right of suffrage
as they please, are to be shot down by foreigner,
and Catholics, it is high time that foreigners and
Catholics should be taught their places and their
duties. If foreigners and Catholics will shoot and
murder because they are voted against, it is mis-
cradle reason why they should be voted for
