Mr.. DOBBIN.-The Washington Cores
pondcnt of the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can, witing under date of the 26th ult.,
says:
Secretary Dobbin does not intend TO
resign. He may, perhaps, go to Florida
for the restoration of his health. The
President entertains a special regard for
him, and is, indeed, averse to any change in
the Cabinet
This, We have reason to believe is about
the true state of the case. We have been
pleased to learn from gentlemen who have
recently seen Mr.. Dobbin, that the fears
entertained by his friends in regard to the
state of his health have been greatly ex-
aggcratcd, if not unfOunded. His lungs
are not impaired, at least such is the unani-
NOUS verdict of experienced medical men.
The bronchitis under which he labors, is
not the result of any organic disease, but
rather of Over-attention to business, acting
upon "a delicate frame. Mr.. DObbin's friends
of all parties, including nearly every man
in the State, will, we feel certain, be pleas
ed to receive favorable accounts of his
IVIiming ton Journal.

LATEST FOREIGN NEwS.-We have the
latest foreign news by the steamer Africa.
There is nothing of interest from the Crimea,
except that the Allies intend to commence
soon a bombardment of the north side of
Sebastopol. Cotton was dull, and had de-
clined in price. And breadstuffs of all
kinds had slightly declined, and were dull.
Three extensive magazines belonging to
the French Artillery, were blown up near
Inkermann not long since, involving great
destruction of human life. Seventy men
and two officers were instantly killed; and
one hundred men and ten officers wounded
The magazine contained 10000 Killo-
grammes of powder, and 100000 cartridges
also 300 heavily charged she'll All ex-
ploded with terrific effect.
A tremendous fire had occurred at Paris,
entirely consuming the Government Bakery,
which contained $4,000 quintals, (3,136,000
lbs.l of corn, and about the same quantity
of flour biscuit.
An Allied Flotilla or feet of small vessels,
sent for the especial purpose, had destroy
an immense quantity of Russian grain on
the coast of Grieskeinann. The grain was
packed up in the granaries six tiers deep,
and extended for two miles along the coast.
1t was intended for the Crimean army, and
being destroyed, will materially lessen their
supplies.
The Car has dismissed Gen. Menschik Off,
as Chief of the Russian staff, and appointed
Gen. Aldenburg in his stead.
It is stated that Gen. Mourivieuff was so
overcome by the defeat at kars, that he has
gone insane. Gen. Bubusotf, assumes the
command.

CURIOUS ELOPEMENT.-7The Chicago
Democrat of Tuesday says that woman

with the dead body of her husband, which

she fell in with young man, and, on the
arrival of the cars at Chicago, they went
off together, leaving the dead body of the
husband in the depot, where it has remained

After the second ballot, Mr.. Campbell
rose and stated that although he had receiy-
cd the highest number of votes of any op-
position candidate, it was obvious he could
not be elected unless he repudiated his we'll
known principles on Slavery and American
ism; and in order to facilitate an organiza-
ton, he would withdraw his name as a can
didatc.
After the withdrawal of Mr.. Campbell, four
ballots were taken. The last and eth bal
lot resulted as follows:

1ArEsr NEWS FROM KANSAS.

We have further details of the civil wal
in Kansas, which we eondense as much as
possible, for want of space.
The sheriff of Douglass county had an
overwhelming (Which, literally translated
means very smaii3 force of law and order
men at his disposal, and was determined to
put down the rioters.
Sheriff Jones, who is acting as United
States deputy marshal for Douglas and
johnson counties, had received orders from
Governor Shannon to arrest forty-two men
in Lawrence, but these men (freesoiers,)
had, it seems, many hackers in town, and
| refused to deliver themselves up. Jones'
| force could not have been so very large, fol-
he was obliged to issue q call for volunteers
to aid him in arresting the parties, which by
the way, he had not done at last accounts.
| The people of Lawrence were much exas-
perqted not only against him, but against
| Coleman, who it will be recollected, shot a
freesoil rowdy in self-defence, and had sworn
to take and hang them both. They were
drilling every day in the open prairie and
had five pieces of beautiful artillery
Great numbers of the law-breakers were
pouring into Lawrence armed and equip
ped as the law doesn't direct. A mem
Der of the Legislature had arrived at the
Shawnee mission for guns, but only sue
ceeded in raising twenty. Jones had also
dispatched messenger to the same place
Gov. 70 in ba cborSa Of
cannon and G wagon load Of ammunition
with what success we DO not learn. It will
also be recollected, that the ring leaders of
the gang of rufans who attempted to mas
sacre Coleman, burned down his house and
drove off his wife and children, had been
arrested by Marshal Jones and lodged in
Jail at Lecompton. The abolitionists were
gathering at this place il large numbers,
demanding the release of their comrades
and the surrender of Coleman. At last ac-
counts Jones was in town with his two pris-
oncrs and only fifteen or twenty assistants,
and the Governor had issued a proclamation
calling the militia to the assistance of the
officers.
On the night of the 29th ultimo, large
meetings of citizens were held in St. Joseph
and Weston, and companies of the Missouri
borders had been formed to emigrate to
Kansas. Our latest intelligence bears date
ST. Louis, December 5, and is to the effect
that an officer of the Free State organiza-
ton had been captured at Atchison, having
in his possession orders to burn the town,
and compass in some way the murder of
Mclaughlin. we have no doubt that when
the powers that be, or that ought to be, are
a little more firmly established, he will be
dealt with as he deserves. The end is not
yet.
Gov. Shannon, of Kansas, has telegraphed
to the President for aid to quell the distur-
Dances which have broken out between the
anti and pro-slavery parties in Kansas
The President has promptly ordered a con-
centration of troops from the nearest points
to preserve peace.

SAD CAsUALITY.-Several days ago a
young son of Mr.. Solomon Williams of
Warren county, N. c., received an injury,
by the accidental discharge of a gun in his
own hands, which caused his death. The
boy was about IL or IL years of age, and a
most promising youth. His death furnishes
another evidence of the fatal results that
attend the use of fire arms.

SENsIELE.-In the county of Middlesex,
New Jersey, petition is being got up, to
be presented to the next Legislature of that
State, asking for the passage of law to
prevent the manufacture or sale of aduLter-
oted or impure liquors. 1t is proposed to
subject offenders to fine and imprisonment.
The petition reads:
POISONOUS compounds, under the name
of liquor, are daily sold to the inhabitants
of this State, the effect of the use eff which
is not so much to intoxicate as to render
insane that the use of such drinks has in
PRODUCED, and will continue to introduce,

race, and spread vice and immortality broad
cast over the land; and that the cause of
humanity imperatively calls for some legis-
lative action ON the subject"

Progress OF the Municipal Reform.
THE SUNDAY LIQUOR TRAFFIC..

This city presented an unusually quiet and orderly
appearance on Sunday last The liquor dealers have
now, almost mdse, concluded that the most advsa-
BILE to pursue is to close thsr Embellishments
Sunday. Indeed they begin to discover that our new
Mayor is in earnest and does not intend to rccede from
his determination to put eectuai stop to the sale of
Intoxicating drinks the Sabbath They therefore look
upon il matter Of the most stringent necessity that
their dram shops, both large and small should discon
tnue to vend ardent spirits SC on Sunday. In the
Sixth ward not single place reported and this may
be said TO be extraordinary fact this ward has
not heretofore enjoyed the most exalted reputation
either for the strict observance Of the Sabbath
the morality Of portion of its. inhabitants.
The Fourth ward also shows decrease in the number
of places reported selling. Probably the good exam
pie displayed by hsr sister wards has had the most de-
SrAbe effect; at any rate she is gradually getting into
the traces, and may expect entire reform
her part.
