THE WAR.

No sooner had the Atlantic left Liver
pool, with the news of the great successes
which had taken place on the part Of the
Allies against the Russians, than further
intelligence in reference to their position
on the Sea of Azof had reached England,
From a dispatch from Sir u. Lyons at
Kerstch, dated May the 81, it appears that
the squadron in the Sea of Azof had appear
ed before Genichi landed body of seamen
and marines, and after driving the Russian
force from the place, had destroyed all the
depots and vessels laden with corn and sup
plies for the Russian army. Only one man
was wounded. Since entering the Sea of
Azof four steamers of war and two hundred
and forty vessels employed in conveying
supplies to the Russian army in the Crimea
have been destroyed.
The moniteur of the 4th instant publishes
the following dispatch from Gen. Pelissier
to the Minister of War:
"Crimea, June |, 1855.-We have sprung

THE LATE ELECTION.

The result OF mondays clectl0n mas sur
prised many persons, although to some it
was not entirely unexpected. 1t is usless
for the partisans of the order" to protest,
rs we have heard few of them d. that
the conclave took no part in the contest,
and had no hand in nominating Mr. Mer-
rick for Chief Justice and Mr.. Cooley for
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
We have been assured, on good authority,
that both these gentlemen were regularly
selected as candidates, by ballot, of the SUI
preme appointing council and certain it is
the Know Nothing papers of this city made
known those nominations to every one who
read them. How was it that every man in
Louisiana. whether Of the profane or of the
initiated, became acquainted with the names
of the KnowNothing candidates? The truth
is, they were announced in the regular dark
lantern fashion, orally, by the members Of
the order, and by oblique but unmstakea-
bic hints in the Know Nothing organs
The few members who have not abandon
cd the order, all voted for Merrick and
Cooley, and we venture to say that neither
ofthem received half dozen Democrat
ic votes throughout the parish Of Orleans
How was this unanimity Of sentiment on
either side of the question effected if the
appointing power of the order had not die
tated the names of their candidates and
prescribed to the small portion of their fol
lowers still remaining faithful, the duty Of
voting for them? aa' in Haa ur.H
We have been more surprised at the re
turns from Baton Rouge than at any 9th
er occurrence that has turned up in this con
test. Those returns comprehended the
votes Of nearly the whole parish, concluding
the village of the same name. So far a.
received, the votes stand thus; Elan 204
Elgee lis, Merrick 50. In other words
Merrick the, Know Nothing candidate, go
35 out of 354 votes, or not one tenth of tn
whole; and be it remembered that the tow
of Baton Rouge is within thirty miles O
Clinton, where Mr.. NJ. resides. In ordina
ry times and under ordinary circumstances
this result would be looked upon as an over
whelming defeat Of party candidate

jugation-and above all, felt sure that the.

But yesterday the word Of Sammy might

There can be but small doubt that MI
Elgee and Judge Lee are both elected-th

Justice of the Supreme Court, by consider
able majorities. Mr.. Elgee is Wing, an

or not we shall not undertake to determin

NJ Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has beer recently offered
the public, is attracting great attention. not only
by reason Of the very satisfactory testimonials to
lis efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great a number Of people who are af-
Aicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman who discovered the efficacy of his "rem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is a physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed attractedthe attention
OF all sufferers from headache who have heard of il.
From our own knowledge Of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have doubt that the med
cine deserves the favor i receives and that will

bring us the following items Of news. The
dates are to the 22d of November:
The people appear to be dissatisfied with the
measures taken by the British Parliament for
the management of the colonies, and are par
ticularly opposed to the Now Constitution Bill.
A great public meeting has been held to oppose
the Bill, when strong resolutions were drawn
up to be presented to her Majesty. They
obtained upwards of 1000 signatures on the
spot.
A notice has been brought before the Legis
lative Council for abolishing the penal restric-
tions in force in certain parts of the colony.
A fatal disease has broken out among the
focks, called scab, which is carrying off large
numbers of sheep The disease, so far, has
proved incurable.
On the l4th instant the Governor General
was present at the opening of an exhibition Of
articles of native produce, or Colonial manu-
facture, which are intended for the Paris Exhi-
bition Of 1855.
Trade is in very depressed and languid

tations, and the large stocks Of nearly all
descriptions of merchandise in hand We give

Heller as a Pianist.

MEssRs EDIToRs: Having had the pleasure
OF hearing Mr.. Robert Heller's performance
upon the pianoforte, and understanding that he
proposes, during the present week, to entertain
the good folks Of our city with combination Of
music and magic, again would ask if through
the columns Of your paper you will assist in
circulating that reputation which the gentle
man in question has merited and obtained.
Those who have been fortunate enough to hear
his performances upon his favorite instrument,
since his arrival in our city, all agree that they
are in every respect superior to the most cele-
brated that have, within the last few years, been
heard at our concerts; and !, as somewhat of a
connoiseur, concur in the opinion Of one Of our
best composers, that he is second only to Leo
pold de Meyer. The congregation Of st. Ma
thew's Church had, this morning, an opportu-
dity of judging of his musical attainments by
his performance upon the organ. hope the
public patronage will be in proportion to his
merits. Yours,
TREBOR
