The Fredericksburg Herald thus speaks
of the course Of Baltimore towards The AT
Ilcted cities Of Norfolk and Portsmouth.
The country feels deep interest and
kind soIcitudc for the orphanayc Of Mr.
folk and Portsmouth. Offers to receive
and care for them have been received
from various quarters. But big.hcnrted
Baltimore has surpassed all others in point
of nobleness Of soul by her expansive
and wide open charity she has ccmcnlcd
to her the affections OF the people Of the
Old Dominion, without respect to locality,
and placed US under debt Of gratitude
that a century Of good feelings cannot re-
pay.
With rare philanthropy Baltimore took
early and active steps in caring for tho
orPhanage of the doomed cities, and after
the expenditure Of anxious thought, she
obtained what would doubtless have been
a haven of repose in new and commo-
dlous building some two miles from the
clty-her lovely daughters and honored
matrons provided new apparel--ner mer-
chants and mechanics proffercd their mo-
ney, their goods and their labor-her ply
sicians their services-alI classes offered,
III az 'r"T'nS 'IleIE HIte VI Whatever Woulu
conduce to the comfort of the band Of lit
tie children from the sorrow-strickcn dis
trict-and thus prepared, the voice OF
Baltimore was sent down the Bay, abso-
lutely soliciting that the burden should be
imposed on her OF providing for the wants
and ministeriDg to the necessities OF the
little children who have been bereft Of
father, mother, aud in many cases, bro-
theirs and sisters. All honor to the noble
hearted impulses Of the Baltimoreans
Rare indeed Is such virtue, in these days
ofsel6shness, marred as they are by the
apparently single pursuit of the almighty
dollar

Our RELATIONS WITH DExNARK.-We
are happy to be able to state on the most
reliable authority, that measures are in
progress by the U. S. government which
will put to rest all fears of any collision
with Denmark, growing out OF our refu-
sal to submit longer to the Sound dues.
A messenger is on his way, if not already
in Denmark, charged with important
dispatches to our representative at Co
penhagen, directing him to enter into ne
gotiations anew in regard to these taxes.
Ofcourse nothing is known as to the in>
structions he takes to the United States

BLooDsuEn IN CuTNA.-The Chinese pa

that country as sickCning. When Shaouk-
ing, the second city of the province was va
Gated without fighting, q short time ago, a
number of Inhabitants thought mercy
would be shown 10 them if they gave
themselos up. With equal reason might
forbearance have been expected from the
hungry wolf-they were taken to Canton
in droves Of five hundred as many as ten
thousand, it is said, being confined in the
city at one time. Kept without food for
several days, when the hour of examina-
nation. SO called. arrived, eye witnesses
tell Of The utmost caIlousness being cxhib-
tied, the condemned getting into the exs
eculion basket with even apparent satisfac-
ton.
At the rate of seven and eight hundred
day for some time, the whole ten thou
sand. and thousands more, were soon got
rid of. Several were skinned alive, and
one higher criminal than the rest, was
cut into twenty-four pieces-lingering
dying. From the careless way in which
the bodies are inferred in heaps at the
eastward of the city, and the disgusting
stencil in the vicinity Of the execution
ground, it will not surprise US to hear OF a
plague carrying of its victims by thou~
sands.

HERo1sI OF Doc IN THE CR1MEA.-
The following account of the exploits Of
a dog in the Crimea is translated from
the Gazette of Trieste and surpasses eve
ny thing heretofore recorded Of the devo-
ton and bravery of this noble animal
A great sensation has been caused in
the camp of the allies by the heroic deeds
of a dog belonging to Colonel Metmann,
OF the 73d Regiment Of the line. On the
10th of August during the battle of the
Tchernaya, the quadruped broke his chain
fought in the ranks of the army, saved
the life of a SERGEANT, and soldier, and
took three Russian prisoners. a ball
struck his foot, but the wound only en-
Uttered the animal more. He threw
himself upon a Russian officer, flung him
to the ground, and dragged him prisoner
by his coat collar to the French. A
physician has bound up the wound, and
the four-footed hero is convalescing. He
will probably receive some mark Of hon
or, as another dog in the English army
has been rewarded with medal for his
devotion to his master"

ORPHANS AND DEsTITUTIoN AT Nor
FoLK.-A letter from Mr.. s. Cherry, OF
the Howard Association of Norfolk, to a
gentleman in New York, speaking of the
little orphan children Of those who have
fallen victims to the epidemic, says:
We have in our temporary asylum
about sixty, who are parentless, penni-
less, and [ had almost said, friendless.
will not say SO, however, for they have
friends, not only in the members Of our
association, but throughout the whole
country. So far as in our power lies, we
intend to watch over, guard and protect
them. And here let me correct an i'm
preston that seems to prevail in some
placcs-that they are under the protec>
ton of a certain church. Such is not the
case. They are under the protection of
the "EIOward Association - and mems
bers of all denominations, Protestant and
and Catholic alike are invited to visit
them and unite with US indevising the best
means for their welfare.
There is another class of orphans land
we count them by hundreds) who have
been left fatherless, but still enjoy the
fond caresses Of their mothers, who, in a
pecuniary point of view, are as destitute
as the others. Their only means of sup>
port, both for food and for clothing, are
derived from our association.
Nor can 1 look with certainty to a
time when their condition will be better.
To give you an idea Of the restitution of
our people, 1 will state fact We are
now supplying at least two>thirds (if not
more) Of the people here, with food en-
tlrely, and in many instances clothing.
Persons who have heretofore been in COM
Portable circumstances are now reduced to
want. and but for our association would
suffer for the necessaries of life.

seems, vey shortly after his election at
Greytown, by Mr.. Mason, United States
Vice Commercial agent at that port. The
Commercial agent, including his letter,
takes it upon him TO say:
For my own individual part, have
seen this movement in favor of a govern

great satisfaction, and am confident that
it will be productive of great good 10 this

The report that Kinney had resigned
