8. THE HANGO MASSACRE"

We were among the first to express ourincreduity
Of the story of horror entitled the Hango Massacre
which was so arsfully worked up BY the English
press to whet the war appetite, and to provoke a
yell of execration which every civilized country
was called on to raise. There were some small
circumstances that suggested caution-a virtue
which on this as on many other occasions we have
found useful Our absence of premature indigns-
tion, however, excited at the time the wrath Of
some foolish frantic Britishers, who have since
been gradually batting their rage, until We fancy
there was scarcely spark left for this final state
ment 10 extinguish. If there be still left, how
ever, any toO-confding Bull, who believes in the
violation OF the sacred flag and massacre Of
innocent helpless sailors, and all those other
bloody aduncts thrown around the tale, to magnl
fy its horrcrs, we would most gently supplicate
his attention TO the statement of Prince Dogorou-
Ky in reply 70 Vce-Admiral Dundas, which will be
found in another column, and which even the Eng
lsh press. by scquiescing silence, forced to ad
NIT completely disposes Of all the cooked colorng
with which they surrounded the affair II appears
to be eonclusively established that the Russians
not alone did not violate the established laws
winch regulate DetWeen warning Nations tne use
and protecting extent of flag Of truce, but that
the invaders of its covenant were the Britishers
themselves whose officer, Lieut.. Geneste, not only
so far disregarded the prescribed usage on ap-
preaching the shore as to draw upon himself the
censure Of his own Admiral, but absolutely after
fulfilling that mission, on which alone be could
have been protected by flag OF truce quilted his
boat and proceeded into an enemy's country to
forage and reeonnoiter. Wen may Prince DOL
corouko e1caim that if such stratagems were 10
BE- permitted, what is there which could not be
covered under the abused immunity of preten led
fsg of truce
Before cur Britisher retires We would beg of
him 10 carry his eye yet little further to pic
ture Cf somewhat other color, which Prince
Do'gorouty's statement unfolds. He will there
find the sailors of that country, which raises
such howl over counterfeit horrors, enacting
those very horrors themselves BE will there
find how, under the shelter o. that flag whose
sanctify is so loudly preached when it suits
purpose, the private property of peaceful ves-
sci. lying at anchor is plundered, poor sailors
robbed of their clothes and money, and their
simple fishing boats, their only means Of sus-
tensnce. In contemplation Of such facts be will
perhaps transfer some portion Of that wrath be

ly and determinedly hostile to Slavery; but this
one ilsvtholder steps in with bis black servltors
and overrules them. popular Sovereignty
condemns Slavery; but one STAKEHOLDER weighs
down thousands Of freemen, and decides that
Kansas shall be Slave Territory. FOR that
slave holder, says Mr.. Brodhesd, has an iudc-
feasible constitutional right to migrate to Kan
saa, TO take his slaves vita him, ,nd hold them
there in bondage termin.bly-because they
are his property, and be has right to take his
property, sDd have it respected and secured to
him as property, in any Territory Of the Union.
We propose at this time merely to state this
doctrine, not to refute it. The rumseller, the
faro-dealer, the counterfeiter, will find it as
convenient and serviceable as the slsvehoder-
for sll these have property" which the laws
OF some States protect, while Others subject 1t

prevent that coDsummation.

Mr.. Chase denied that bis election to the United

sion sentence or letter had come from him that

with the Garrison party OF the North OF with the Noi-

queston has been precpitated by tue Kansas bill, and
had now become paramount and imminent He would
not interfere with Slavery where it exists by law but
was opposed to its extension over new territories. IL

TIE CRoPs.-Tbere is an unusual area of Indian
Corn on the ground in New-Jersey, and it is looking
very well; though there will be some light yields
through the center Of that State where they seem to
haye genius for raising poor crops. There was also
large breadth of Buckwheat sown, and much Of is
very short owing in part to the recent dry weather
Dry it is pasursge is very good, and most crops on
the ground promise well.
Bucks County, Pa, has much Corn maturing, and
it will average forty bushels to the acre. We never
saw finer average growth than is now exhibited in
that county. Many stalks which judged fifteen feet
high, are on exhibition at the Doylestown Fair. The
pastures are in high condition, and fine second
growth of Clover is npening Oats have come in
heavy but good deal besten down and damaged by
tie rains of July Altogether, the farmers of Bucks
must have full store houses and grateful hearts the
coming Winter.

The Pacific arrived from Liverpool a! an early
beur yesterday morning. Tbele is no news of
moment from Sevastopol. The siege-works in
front Of the Malsbof tower are advanced so near
the Russian ines that the cannon almost touch.
1t must cost an enormous sacrifice Of life to The
two parties to maintain themselves in such con-
tiguisy, snd we can scarcely fail soon to hear Of
Q bloody action, ending either in the capture of
the Malakof and Redan or ia a more cecided
repulse Of the Allies than even that Of June Is.
1t is said that Gen. Pelissier was waiting only
for August 10, the anniversary of Napoleon, to
undertake the final onslaught upon the place.
The Russians on their part have strengthened
immensely the defences in the rear Of the men,
sced forts, at the same time that they have re.
ceved portion a! least of the powerful reiu-
forceneDts we long since announced as on the
way to the Crimea. 1t is supposed they must
soon undertake offensive operations on the line
of the Chernaya and Balablava. Indeed the
Turkish and Sandman tro ops quartered in that
direction have already been once or twice
alarmed by what was supposed to be the ap'
preach of the foe, but the alert turned oat to be
groundless.
In Asia no great events have occurred. 1t now
appears that the Russian attack on Ksrs was with
out sufficient forces to render it serious. and that
MuravieH, who commanded, was obliged to with
draw for fear the Turks might cut off his commu-
nicatioDs. Omer Pasha has been appointed by the
Porte to command the Turkish forces in Asia
Minor, and his army win probably be trans
ported there from the CIimea. If they can be got
there in time to act before the season closes there
is no reason why they should not do the greatest
damage to the Russians, who hardly have troops
enough to resist the army of Omer. The vacancy
which this new arrangement will cause in the
Crimea will be made good by $4,000 Spanisrds,
who are at once to be furnished to the Allies by
The Government of Queen Isabella, the expense Of
their equipment being borne by France and En-
gland.
From the Baltic we hear the note ofprepars-
tion. There is even a report that Regel has
been bOmbarded by the allied fleets; but this is
by no means certain. At any rate. unless Ad-
miral Dundas is able to employ some means not
known in any oil The engagements that have yet
taken place between ships and forts, there is no
that he will succeed.
Great preparations were making at Paris to
receive Queen Victoria. The Empress is again
declared to have hopes of an heir. A cOnspira-
ey has been discovered involving some promi-
nent Legtimists, who are said to have attempt
cd to negotiate with Prince Gorchakof, the
Russian Minister at Vienna.

We thought we had pretty clear notion of the
depths Of degradation and ignOminy to which the
Pierce Democracy had sunk but the late pointed
refusal of the Rumsellers of Massachusetts to Goa
esce with that forlorn fag end of party has deep
ened our appreciation of that catastrophe. The
Liouor-men of Massachusetts, know that their
Own prospect is gloomy one, but they think it
cannot be quite so bad as that of the Pierce party
They know that they are a minority but they
cannot realize that they are so helpless and hope
less a faction as the Pierce Democracy. They
know that they do not stand high in the estima-
ton of their fellow. citizens-but they are consoed
by the thought that there is one squad OF pohh-
clans grade below even their position. Their de-
cision not to be contaminated and exposed TO re-
proach by evil associations reminds US, by contrast
of that of the colOred gentleman who, at time
when L" Our Glorious Militia" was even less pOpu-
lar than it now is, was asked to drink by officer
in the service and did not feel it in his heart to
sst the soft seduction. " Some niggers,' observed
Sambo apologetically, is too proud to drink with
ga militia officer; but think militia officer just
as good as ngger-especially ifthe niger is dry

AN ApmsrsrnArrvE REFoaMER.

When The London TImes was surrounding with
its thunder the Administrative Reform movement
in England, We ventured to predict that in the ao-
sence of any great principle broad enough to seize
on and held the popular heart, it would ind no
heher result than the nominstion Of one or both Of
its great moving powers, Messrs Lowe and Lay
ard the one of whom forged his bolts in Printing
House-squAre, the other Of whom welded bis at
Drury.lane and ST. Stephens, and that in this con-
summation the grent English organ would find the
fruition of its Own and country's hopes Mr.
Lowe bas been, we are informed by the last mail.

lowed BY one still higher with seat in the Cabi-
net. Mr.. loves history is of too high an interest
and bis promise of too fair hope to be disposed
of in few sentences We shall turn 10 it again.
Let il now suffice to mention that The London
Times, which has recently looked with cold 81
lence on the efforts of the Administrative Reform
bantling which it nursed, has, cotempOraneously
with this appointment of its ablest writer, risen
from silence into contempt, sneers aside the
maiden scheme of its former prOtege and deyotes
