lows:
For some days past rumors Of an inten-
ded attack on the part of the Russians had
excited our attention, and this morning at
daybreak they realized their intentions
against our lines on the Tchernaya, but in
spite of the movement Of the imposing mas
ses which had been collected during the
night, the enemy were repulsed with great
vigor by the troops forming the divisions
of Generals Hesbillon, Cacana, Fancheux
and Morril; the Sardinians stationed on our
right fought bravely. The Russians left a
large number of dead on the field, and We
made many prisoners. The Russians were
in comdlete retreat on Macheracies Hill
when our reserve came up, and with the aid
OF our brave Allies, particularly the Eng
lish cavalry, the enemy received a severe
blow. Our losses, although much less nu-
merous than those Of the enemy, are not vet
ascertained."

THE STATE SURvEYoRsH1P.-Th ap-
pears to have been an error in the name of
the K. n. candidate for State Surveyor on
the American tickets in may Of the coun-
ties, and possibly there may be a question
raised in regard to the election. The nom
inee was John A. Brewster, but to judge
from the election returns, as printed in the
papers of Monterey, Mariposa, Sacramento,
Butte, Yuba, and Tuolumne, the "Ameri-
cans" IN those counties voted for John H.
Brewster There is no doubt as to the in
tent of the voters, and no John II. Brews-
