How Is IT.-we are asked frequently how
our American friends in Middle and West
Tennessee were so much mistaken in their
calculations about the elections. We have no
doubt they were sincere in all they promised,
and had no intention of deceiving. But the
mistake was, while they were making acqusi.
tons TO the order from the Democratic party,
they lost sight of the fact that there were more
or less wings in every county, who refused
to have anything to do with the new party,
and who refused to vote for its candidates
not that they disapproved the principles
set forth, but Of the manner in which cand
dates were brought out, and who have an un-
changeable repugnance to every thing which
smaeks of secresy, oaths, obligations, &C.
And if the American party ever expect to
secure the support of these and win them to
the cause, they must first discard all the for.
mula and ilummery which has hitherto charac-
terized their primary operations, and put
themselves before the country upon the mer-
its of their principles alone. BY such course
they will not only obtain additional aid from
the ranks of the enemy, but will bring into
their earnest support and hearty cooperation
all the wings who refused to act with them
in the late contest, and not 4 few of whom
voted against them.

"PRoGREss" OF THE SIeGE.-SOme idea of
the progress of the siege Of Sebastopol by the
English and French, may be formed by the
following account given 10y the London Times
correspondent, under date of July Is:
"l.ast night the Russians kept up ire
mendous fire. ] am sorry TO say that the
battery of the French constructed between
the Mamelon and the Malukoff has been
knocked to pieces by the powerful ire Of tho
latter fort.
"a colonel and thirty officers and men were
put hors du combat, and the siege works
have received decided cheek. In fact, us
the allies advance to the actual offences of
the place, they must expect to meet more
elaborate works and obstacles heaped on one
another with all the care which many months
OF preparation admit. Even now the enemy
are strengthening the Maakof every day. Il
is not what it was on the 18th of June, and
fortnight hence it will not be what it is
now. The battery at the White works,
however, still goes on, and its effect will be
proved in few DAYS"

On the night of the 18th the Russians
demolished the new French batteries. The
German diet accepts the Austrian proposal.
Three additional points have been submitted
by Russia. The attitude of Austria causes
great disquiet to the allies. Additional troops
are being sent to Italy. General Tattlebon
is dead. The Turkish army at Kars is hem

Kars and Erzeroum simultaneously. The
revolt of the Arabs was caused by the scarcity

fB-A correspondent of the Chicago Press
says that Methodist quarterly meeting was
broken up near Foley, Platte county, Mo-, re-
eently,by gang ofarmcd ruflians of about 90.
Rev. Mr.. Morris was seized while preaching.
He drew his revolver and was about shoot
ing his assaiant when some one seized his
arm. The writer says that the preachers,
aware of the threats against them, were all
armed with revolvers. The excitement, he
continues, is great. The struggle between
the pro.slavery and ant,savery parties in

brandy. He was told they did not keep

in the most pitiul strains, the extent and
desperate nature of his thirst. A person
standing by, said to him:
"Do you see that rounter?"
Yes" eagerly answered the thirsty individ
ual. "WeIl, sir" he continued, ''you place Il
shilling on that counter. No one will see
you-it will disappear soon after you
