ted Petropaulovski. from Rear Admiral Four
ichon of the Frenchzfeet, states, after briefly
recapitulating the facts above enumerated,
that the Russian garrison, numbering Gas lie
Journel informs us) some 1900 men, had
doubtless sailed for the mouth of the Amoor
river, which drains the southern portion of
Siberia and flows in the gulf of Saghalien,
an arm of the sea of Ochotsk. They left for
this point on the 18th of April, and were
doubtless there before the French and English
arrived at Kamschatka. This river is regar-
ded as the driving liue between China and
Asiatic Russia, and at its mouth is very
strong seriesYof Notifications, which have been
greatly strengthened from time to time by the
Russians. It is thought by some of the Off

the garrison and if this be true, there will
be western Sebastopot which may puzzle

Wherever the friends of the constitution
are strong the Know Nothings are contempti-
bic in numbers and In influence. Wherever
the enemies of the constitution are strong the
Know Nothings are powerful and numerous.
IF we follow these premises TO their just con-
clusions, we shall find the whole question OF
constitutionalitv ''or of fidelity to the rights
and equality of the State. reduced TO few
s;mnle and self-eyident propositions Ihus,
where constitutional principles are strong tne
Rnow-Nothings make show or devoted at
fachu,elt to them: but as the Democratic par
ty has always sustained these principles, and
stands where it has stood for fifty years In.
regard to them, the Known Nothings find their
sudden efforts to outbid that party In the
public confidence very bad speculation
especially in connection with their odlous pro-
jects of religious intolerance and political pro-
scription. On the other hand in all those
quarters where the abolition sentiment is con-
trolling, the Know Nothings are anxious to
fuse with the abolitionists. and have done SO.
to great extent, in nearly every northern
State. Since their overwhelming defeat In
the South, the partizans of the secret party
are anxious to be more extreme on the ques-
tion of southern rights than any of the old or
ganizations and it is now quite fashionable
for them to urge the formation of exclusive
southern combinations On the other side,
which is the reverse of the picture, the same
party runs riot on the abolition question in
the free States, and is as ready to swear in the
words Of Garrison and of Philips, as of any of
the more consistent fanatics on the anti-sla-
very side.
Werealize the ufi7ity of Know Nothingism
in its present position We realize, also tue
value of its professions of nationality, the sin
cerity of its assaults upon the abolitionists.

also taken up by the crops, and not
returned by manure. These two causes al
ways in operation, would in time, render the
earth barren vast in which no verdure
would quicken and no solitary plant take
root, if there was not natural counterac-
tfon by drought, which operates to supply
this waste in the following manner. During
dry weather, continual evaporation from
the surface ofthe earth, which is not suppli-
ed by any from the clouds. The evapora-
ton from the surface creates a vacuum, so
far as water is concerned, which is at once
filled by water rising up from the subsoi of
the land; the water from the subsoil is replac
ed from the next strata below, and in this
manner the circulation of water in the earth
is the reverse to tn at which takes place in
the wet weather. With this water also as
cends, the mineral held in solution, the
phosphates and sulphotes of lime, carbonate
and silicate of potash and soda, which are
deposited in the surface soil as the water
evaporates, and thus restore the losses sus-
tained as above stated The author ofthis
theory appears to have taken consider
able pains to verify the fact by a number
of interesting experiments, The subject is

The Gallipolis Journal has the following
local religious intelligence:
The Presbyterian Church in this place
has been in possession Of the Old School
body for some weeks past, and the New
School, thinking they had occupied the
building a sufficient length of time, on Sat
urday evening last made an attempt to re-
take it from that body. They succeeded
in breaking a pannel out of the back door
but the hole was not sufficiently large to
admit mans body. 1t appears that the
Old School members We're absent at the
time, but while Mr. John Smithers was en-
deavorng to effect an entrance, Mr.. Henry
Miller, an outside member, demonstrated
against the proceedings, and finally struck
Mr.. S. q severe blow on the head with his
cane. Finding an entrance more difficult
than they had imagined, they quietly dis
persed. For the past ten days Or two
l'weeks the church has been in charge oi
Capt. ]. S. Myers. On Sunday morning
Rev. Warren Taylor, the New School min
lister, took occasion to walk in while the
door of the church was temporarily thrown
open, and ascend the pulpit. Myres per
emptorily ordered him to leave the house
but no attention was paid to him when ht
repaired to the pulpit and elected, Mr.
T. by force. Mr.. T. offered no resistance
further than to hold on knob that was at
tached to an ornament to the pulpit, and
breaking his hold of it, he lost his balance
and fell over the railing to the floor, strik
ing on his back. We do not know that hi
sustained any serious injury. The churcl
has not been used for public worship since
the Old School body has had possession o
it. Since the difficulty, it is their deter
mination to keep it closed until legal de
cision may be had as to right of property.

with flags and banners waving from hicko
