FoREIGN-THE WAR. Sevastopol has at last
fallen. The following particulars were translated
from The Havre Courier for the Sacramento Union
The only particulars received by the Indus are,
that the fire of the batteries of the Allies began
the 5th September, all the mortars hurting pro-
jectes upon the city. After well-sustained fire
of three days duration, the columns of attack
made the assault, and Malakoff was taken after
four hours fighting. At the commencement of the
fire the Russian ship Twelve Apostles and a
frgate, were burned.
After the capture of Malakoff the Russians aban-
doned all the south portion of the city, after having
blown up all their Notifications The central bas7
ton and the Quarantine Fort were the first fortif
cations which exploded.
The Russians placed themselves behind the fort
Constantine.
The official newspapers of St Petersburg bring
us the telegraphic dispatch of Prince Gortschakoff
relative to the capture of Malakof and the evacu-
alton of Sevastopol by the Russians
The following are the words of the dispatch:
Sept. 9th, nj. The enemy receives nearly every
day reinforcements. The bombardment continues
with unprecedented violence Our loss has been
more than $500 men in the last twenty-four hours
Ten o'clock, p N. The troops of your Imperial
Majesty have defended Sevastopol to the last ex-
tremity, but it impossible to hold out any long
on account of the hellish fire which stormed up-
on the city
The troops are going to the northern side after
having at first completely repulsed, on the 2Sth

A CHINAMAN's ARGUMENT. We had the curios-
y the other day to witness the performance of one
of our Foreign Tax Collectors, and after riding
about an hour we overhauled a party of Celestias
Our companion, the Collector, exclaimed, gu-chee
Qicense), which brought the children of the Sun
up standing. One of the Johns Immediately stood
forth as orator of the party, and speaking his best
English, addressed the Collector substantially as
follows: "John, me no good claim one pan no one
quarter one cen-se one bucket no one cen-se ; me
no chow chow, no i-se, me no one claim
American man f-te me, me no six dollar, license
man he fte me. Californy no good. Mon mon

Californy, four bit-ee, sometimes six bit-ee me

me hab got no money nex-ee week you come me

much" After this palaver we rode ON, leaving the
party of longta to enjoy quiet smoke of opium
In a ravine near at hand we found another compa-
ny of the Almond-eyed children here John ex-
cused himself by telling the collector, Me money
mon mon me lance (rain) he come, Chinaman he
plenty money. Chnaman very good man he no
talk-ee lie, work very hard sometimes mak-ee four
bit, sometimes six-ee bit one day. John, you

bottle by way of conciliating John Collector. No
money was obtained of this party of Celestials of
the brandy deponent saith not The foregoing is
fair sample of the lingo to which the Tax Col
lectors are obliged to listen, mixed with divers
grunts and contortions of the face and accompa-
MED with furious gestures. 1t will be seen howev
er that the Celestial excuses contain more truth
than poetry
