For the Ashland union.1

Mr. EDiToR: It has been said, " that
the life Of an Editor is warfare upon
Earth" I a we'll conceive of much
of the perplexity incidentto an editors
life, and will agree thatin the case of
an editor and politician that warfare is
waeed in = doubled degree. He has
sometimes to fight against principle as
we'll as for it He has the enemies of
his W private convictions of right to
uphold, as well as the honesty and truth
Of his own party creed to display and
defend. As an instance of this, my at
t%ention rested, recently, upon a leading
article in the Sd number of the present
volume of the ashland Times on the
subject of TIE Katoao Nothings. Be-
ing a subscriber to the Times and hax-
ing left my confidence In Che political
integrity Of the editor in his keeping
having ON several occasions conversed
with him on the subject, and listened to
severe and just sentiments of reprehen-
sion of the creed and secret organization
of Know Nothingism-I was not pre-
pared for such a" coming down" as
the leading article referred to, exhibits.
My surprise and ehagrin looked in vain
Tor an explanation to this aseso SIDE Of
the editor, till I reflected again upon the
continual warfare hat editors and
politicians lead on this earth. L fear
that the wing party of Ashland is soon
to be committed to the new order, and
nothing left us but to follow after Know
Nothingism, begging the leaders of its
secret councils to recognise the doctrine
of protection > as an american prinei-
pie ~ but, for one, with this small al
lowance, I shall not be content. Meas
ures and principles of the cid whig par
ty are strewns /" thick as autumn leaves
in KaHambrosia IN and to surrender
everytliag to tie KNOWN othings 10 a
step, On which 1 beg the editor of tho
Times to reflect, before he commits us.

provisions and ammunition are beeom-
ing scarce in Sebastopol, but there was
no famine for either. It was observed
that the Russians were arming their
ships in the harbor, probably to attempt
a surprise by sea. 1senerde Liprandi is
