FOREIGN IrEMs.-The steamer Atlantic
arrived at New York on the soth ult.-the
following important items Of news.
New YORK, Nov. 80.
The latest dispatch from the seat of war
reports officially, from Lord Stratford Red
clife, victory gained, Nov. 9Th, by Omar
Pacha, over 10000 Russians, mostly Geor-
gian militia, at river Juguor, which Omar,
with Turks, 10000 strong, crossed at four
points, taking sixty prisoners, three guns, and
400 killed and wounded; Turkish loss three
hundred. ira ta1id ait So 1ata
A private despatch, which probably refers
to the same encounter says the Turks eros
sed the river Anakavs and storrned the Rus
sian redoubt, after which they pushed to-
wards Kutaskars, and still besieged, the APP
pearances indicate that the Russians will re-
tire to Tifis. 'G iia
CRIMEA.--Nothing important from the
Crimea--only few ships remain in Dnieper
and Balaklava; the fleets are returning to
Constantinople. sfu
The Gear has returned to St. Petersburg.
Both armies in the Crimea are wholly occu-
pied in preparing for winter. ar l.at
Desultory fires kept up between north and
south sides of Sebastopol Qualifications, both
sides being greatly augmented. ea
PEACE PRosPECTs.-Peace rumors are
again extremely prevalent, but vague. Di-
plomacy, however, is active, especially at
Stockholm, Vienna and Brussels.
At the latest dates, there were rumors of
the probability of an early dissolution of Par
lament; numerous communications were
being exchanged between the courts of Wen
ma and st. Petersburg, but it was thought
that preliminaries forpeace negotiations would
receive no definite shape till the arrival of
Sir Hamilton Seymour, the new British Min
lister to Vienna.
A Berlin despatch of the Sd inst, says: :
1t appears more and more positive that pre-
liminaries are being arranged at Brussels, with
the assent of Russia, for the assumptions, not
withstanding all denials
PARIS ExHIBITIoN-EMPERoR's SPEECH.
The Paris Exhibition has closed. The dis
tribution, by the Emperor, of decorations and
medals adjudged to exhibitors took place on
the 18th inst. The list of American pre-
NUNS was not received
The Emperor made a brief address, extol-
ling the benefits of the Exhibition In allu-
sion to the war, he said: "You desire, as I
do, speedy and decided peace; but this
peace, to be desirable, must distinctly realize
the object for which the war was undertaken.
Europe must decide who is right and who is
wrong, and final victory be achieved by pub
lie opinion" He called on foreign countries
to pronounce either for or against the Allies,
and urged that without peace Here the
report is unintelligible.
SOUND DUEs.-All Governments have
been invited to take part in conference con-
corning tie Sound Dues Russia has signi-
fed her intention of being represented.
Denmark repudiates all intention of relin-
gushing her neutrality, or of entering into
negotiations for altering the law of supervis-
ion.

We mentioned Thursday the arrest Of the
mail robber employed in the Detroit Post Of
fce His name is John Steady. Henry
Hart, Esq, U. S. Mail Agent, after weeks
constant watchfulness, and much severe labor,
succeeded in identifying the culprit, and inn
mediately arrested him. Four hundred dol
lars in gold, and small amount in bills,
known to have been stolen night or two
previous, were found in his possession. He
was committed to jail, in default of $4,000
bail. He has probably stolen several thou
sand dollars during the past three months.
He is a German, about 80 years Of age, and
has a wife and one child. Enquirer.

RN MIcHIeAN.-The Kalamazoo

NORTHERN MIcHIeAN.-The Kalamazoo
Gazette says:
~The emigration to the northern part of
this State, continues undated. The stages
from this place to Grand Rapids are daily
filed to overflowing; and the train of emf.
grant wagons in that direction seems to be
endless and unceasing. The northern portion
Of Michigan contains the finest farming lands
in the western country. They are rich, and
what is great desideratum, possessed of
plenty of timber, want severely felt by sett-
lers in all the territory west of us. There is
a fine chance for selecting choice locations in
the northern part of our State, as in any 9TH
er region whatever. We are glad to see that
the fact is appreciated" ~ rdt a1 el.r
Right. There are as fine chances for Sc
lecting as fine farms in Northern Michigan,
as in any other region, we care not where
they are looked for. Twenty years from this
time, the richest and most extensive farming
interests of Michigan will be found in that
section of the State now called Northern
Michigan-that is, north of the Central Rail
road and then leave Northern Michigan
proper, an extensive and rich field for new
farms on rich lands. Det. Tribune.
The Sioux INDIANs.-The st. Louis Re
publican publishes a private letter from
trader at Fort Laramie, under date of Sept.
18th, in which the opinion is expressed that
"the country is embarked in one of the most
extensive Indian wars that it has had on its
hands for many day. Its cost must farex-
coed the Florida war, as the land transporta-
ton is enormous-corn is six dollars per BUSH
ell, and other things in proportion. The par
tial blow which the troops struck in the vi
cinity of Ash Hollow, instead Of intimida-
ting the Indians, had the contrary effect
The whole Sioux nation is apparently arous-
ed, and the warriors are on the war path in
every direction" The force of General Har-
ney, it is stated, is sufficient to 90 through
the country, but the season is so late that he
can do nothing but break down his command
and eat up his horses and mules; and, if
snow storm should be experienced by the ex-
petition, great suffering and many deaths
would ensue. The writer says that to termi-
nate the war speedily, an overwhelming force
should penetrate the Indian country early in
the spring, and sweep it from end to end;
and declares that were this plan adopted,
there would be but single campaign.

CAMELs FOR THE UNITED STATEs.-The
American storeship, Supply, commanded by
Lieut.. comdt. David d. Porter, son Of the first
minister to Turkey, the late commander Da-
vid Porter, arrived here some days ago. In
her arrived also Mayor Wayne of the United
States army. You are aware that the Sup
ply has been attached to the War department
by the secretary Of the Navy, for the pur-
pose of conveying number of camels to the
United States. In pursuit of this object, she
has visited Tunia, Smyrna and Salonica. AT
the former place she took on board three cam
els, one presented to the United States gov
eminent by the Bey, and two purchased
These have already been on board some six
ty-fve days, and from their excellent appear
ance clearly show that an ordinary voyage
across the Atlantic would not affect their
health in the least. They are growing quite
fat under the diet and idle life which they
lead on shipboard. j hear that the Sultan
designs offering Captain Porter, for his Gov
eminent, number of the best camels to be
had at this place. Every person is quite
well on board Of the Supply. Capt. Porter,
Major Wayne, and M. Heap, have gone to
the Crimea to examine the Bactrian camels
with two humps, in use there. They will al
so be able to visit the ruins of Sevastopol

EscApE.-Six prisoners made their escape
from the Detroit Jail, on Tuesday evening

hole through the wall and crawled out.

DENTIsTRY.-Dr. L. A. ROGERS, Dentist,
has been in the practice of his profession, in
this city, for about eighteen months, and in
that short time has acquired an enviable rep
utation in the art of Dentistry. His work,
we know, has given unusual satisfaction,
and we are glad to learn he is crowded with
work. We have seen some of his plated
work, which is certainly of asuperior quality.
Success to him. Grand Rapids Enquirer.

THAT LOST RAFT.-Several statements
have appeared recently, in the Grand Rapids
Dailies, in relation to raft belonging to DR..
Powers, near Greenville, which is reported to
have passed our village, sometime during the
latter part of last week, and having baffled
the exertions of those in charge of it to bring
it to halt, owing to the swiftness of the cur
rent, passed out into the lake, since which
nothing has been heard of it or of the five
men who are reported to have passed out on
it. We have made dilligent inquiries, but
can learn nothing definite in relation to the
matter. The opinion seems to prevail that
no such raft has reached us from the point re-
ferred to, though several parts of broken
RATS have been recently seen at different
times passing out into the lake.

Upper Canada is not so far behind the u.
States in common school education, as many
imagine. Its condition in this respect has
rapidly improved in the last ten years. The
United States have more schools in proportion
to the population than Canada, but the ratio
of the scholars to the population is greater in
the latter than in the United States, while
the average amount expended upon each
scholar is nearly the same in both. In Can
ada there are 81 scholars to each teacher,
while in the United States there are but "a
TO each teacher.

Fifty dollars reward is offered for the apprc-
hension of the thief, and $25 for the recovery

Where do they come from, and whittier
are they bound? is daily the enquiry of our
citizens, whilst witnessing the Decentralization
at the Hotels of scores of passengers from the
Kalamazoo coaches. We really cannot an
swer the interrogatory, but it is our private
opinion that they come to reside with us.
They come with cheerful hearts, willing hands,
and money in their purses, to assist in rolling
on the ball Of Improvement, which is progress
sing so rapidly throughout our City and Val
ley. Let them come, keep coming, until ev-
cry vacant lot in the city shall be built upon,
and Northern Michigan, the future garden of
the State, shall blossom as the rose"

We talk much of the past, and often look
back to it with regret, yet none of us would
be willing to 60 back day in our life pro-
gress. Onward is the watchword of life
The past at the best is but a dreary region;
over the future alone is the bow of promise
hung.

C. Congress, assembled on Monday last,

EE- Congress, assembled on Monday last,
already has commcaced in good earnest the
usual wire-pulling for Speaker of the House,
but as no one party is in the ascendandy there
is prospect of considerable fusion of polit-
zeal elements in settling pIeliminaries, and
fortunate indeed is the champion who from
amid such chaotic mass shall attain to the
honorable position of Speaker. Mr.. FULLER,
of Pennsylvania, seems at present to be the
most prominent candidate for that distin-
guished office. Mr.. CUILoM will, without
doubt, be elected Clerk by a large majority
Much attention Of Congress will again be
claimed in relation to proper disposition of
Kansas affairs. 1t is generally supposed the
people of that Territory win present to Con-
gress Constitution and ask admission into
the Union as State, though her population
is yet far short of 10000, the number requir-
ed constitutionally previous to admission,
and consequently the expense of State gov
eminent must be onerous to SO sparse pop
ulation.
The contest between WHITFIELD and
REEDER for seat as delegates from that
Territory, to Congress, promises to be spir-
tied one. The general opinion seems to pre-
vail that as REEDER claims the seat from an
illegal and unauthorized election, he should not
be admitted as a Delegate; and that as
WHITFIELD is the representative of bogus
Legislature, elected by mob from Missouri,
his claim to seat is no better than REED
ERs. The result of this contest Will be laid
before our readers in due time.

The Burlington Massacre.

On Wednesday at Burlington, N. J.,
twenty-five persons were killed and some
fifty wounded by what is called a railroad
accident. Since the disaster at Norwalk in
1854 no such wholesale slaughter. has oc-
CURED on any railroad in the country. The
facts have been clearly ascertained by our
reporters of the different journals and are
duly spread before our readers. The points
in the case which especially call for com
ment are the following:
l. Though this roads one Of the great
est and most profitable thoroughfares in
the country it has butasinglc track. This
is owing to the corrupt monopoly system
maintained by the State of New Jersey in
defiance of her own interest and the public
welfare, and to the destruction Of her GOOD
name. Had there been two tracks this
dreadful event would not have happened.
ii. The highway across the railroad was
neither carried over on bridge, nor pro-
tectcd by suitable gates with proper attcn-
dants to prevent carriages from going upon
the track except when absolutely safe.
Had these safeguards existed we should
not now deplorc this sickening calamity.
III. The conductor saw the. danger and
tried to stop the train-which, our readers
willremember was running backward but
the bell rope was out of order, so that he
could not ring the bell. But for the de-
rangement of this apparatus the calamity
might possibly have been avoided
w. The train WAS running backward at
an extraordinary and unjustfable rate of
speed, considering that the engineer could
not see any obstacle on the track. Had
proper prudence been observed in this re-
spect many families would not now be
mourning the dead of that awful catastro-
phe.
V. rhe train was out of its time. Had
it been run according to the regulations Of
the road there would have been no such
slaughter
These are the facts which form the char
acter of this whole affair. They appear to
us to show conclusively that the Camden
and Amboy Company are pecunarily re-
sponsible to the sufferers. and that the con-
ductor and engineer are criminally respon-
sble to the public. in any other country
than this, and we had almost written in any
other State than New Jersey, they would
at once be arrested and tried for murder

A HOME ENDoRsEMENT.-It is gratifying
to notice that at least three of the Southern
Congressman who voted against the Kan
sas-Nebraska bill, have been reelected.
Messrs. Purvcar OF North Carolina, and
Taylor and Ethrldge ofTennesseo have thus
been endorsed by their constituents. The
Lexington IN. c. Flag notices the success
of Hon. Richard G. Puryear by ain increas-
ed majority, and adds that many OF his con-
stituents who disapprovcd of his vote against
the Kansas outrage were his warmest
friends in the contest, since they admired
the manly courage which animated him TO
do what he believed to be right. And the
Flag further says in relation to the matter:
when political weathercocks, hereafter,
are spreading their sails TO see which way
the popular breeze blows. let them rcmem-
Der how the people have rewarded pure
and honest man; a man who was not afraid
to do right-and let them go and do Ike
wise, resolve to have the independence to
do what is right, with the assurance that an
honest, intelligent and uprighrconstituency
will reward them"
