Quite an excitement occurred at one of
the Southern steamboat wharves, short

The hands on one of our steamers were
engaged in rolling off cask, when to the
CONSERVATION and surprise of the persons
engaged in performing that operation, a
voice was heard within the casls.

TIE STORM Is COMING.

The symptoms every day grow stronger and
stronger that the self-working Democrats Of
these United States will no longer consent as
they have done for the past thirty not to say the
past fifty years, to allow their country to be
ruled by little OigaIchy Of shareholders. 1t
is the natural course of every oligarchical rule
to run into great abuses. With whatever pro-
fessions of regard for the good of the whole an
oigar chcal body may set out, and no viewer they
may thus seddce the too credulOus aud
thoughtiess multitude to trust the reins of power
in their hands, no sooner do they feel them
selves firmly installed in authority than they
begin to employ that authority for their own
exclusive and selfish ends. Ofthis the progress,
very gradual and silent at first, but of late years
so rapidly accelerat ng, of our American slave
driving Olgarchy affords a striking instance,
ill, at length the browning outrage OF the Kan
sas perfdy has fully opened the eyes of the re-
publican people of this country. That outrage
has reused every thinking man to the necessity
of overthrOWiDg the Slavery extending aud ne
gro-breeding dynasty which has of late years
controlled our affairs at Washington-no@ IN
der the ZANE Of Wings, and now under the
name Of Democrats; bat, however called, still
and only strengthening and negro-breeding.
This great approaching political revelation has
long been foreseen by sagacious observers of the
sky Of politics. Now everybody begins ID see
! it, The cloud for a long time no bigger than a
mans hand, and which Of late had seemed to
/ grow smaller instead of larger, has suddenly 80
oyeIspresd the whole horizon that the most
stupid and unwilling are constrained to admit
! that the rain is coming az last. Surely oar
| thirsty political earth, dried, baked, scorched
and scourged under the bTazen sky of SaSery
till It looks for all the world Ike a worn. out aud
abandoned Yirg MIA tobacco plantation, needs
al the Tan il is likely to get. So persisted and
witheIed have we been that even the forty days
shower of Noahs time might now not more than
suffice 10 restore to the earth wholesome mOis-
ture. and to our political landscape q decent
degree of verdure. The sky is growing blacker
and baeker IN the north, the east and the
west, clouds are piling upon clouds There is
TO be storm-not a doubt of it-but as that is
Natures way of dssipating noIious masms, aad
of restoring life and fertility to that which was
dried up and nearly dead, We for our part shall
welcome the rain, even though it NAV chance to
wet US to the skins and 30 will every mao in
the country who fully deserves to be called
man.
Still it is not everybody who can contemplate
with equanimity an approaching thunder storm,
whether IN the physical or tie political world.

THE NEWS FROM EUROPE.

BY the arrival of the Hermann here and the
America az Halifax, we have news from Europe
10 June -, week later than our previous adj
vices. The great point in this Intelligence lie
that the Allies have attempted to storm the Re-
dan and Malakof towers at SevastOpol and have
been repulsed with great slaughter. The event
TOOK place on the 18th ult , but so disastrous
was the result that on the 22d no details had
been allowed TO transpire at Paris or London
the Black Sea telegraph being, as our readers
will remember, under Government control Ac-
cording to one account the British loss alone
was 1000 including Gen Sir Colin Campbell
and above seventy other officers. This however
is thought to be, ard probably is, exaggerated.
An assault against single work like the Redan
tower, which alone was exposed to the British
attack, the Malakoff being further TO the right
before the French, would naturally be decided

The legitimate consequences of the ndecisicn
of the Administration in relation to aif,rs
in Kansas are already beginning to be
seen. We learned yesterday by telegraph that
The scOundrel Stringfelow mad come INTO col
lision " it'll Gov. Reeder, ald that in the melee
the Governor was badly beaten. We learn that
the latter has for some time had reason to be-
lieve that this bully and his crew, favored as
they are by the tacit completely OF the Admin
istration, would lose no time in seeking quarrel
with him, ard was therefore, doubtless, prepared
for them. In fair fight the Governor would
probably be able to hold his owns but with ell
these odds against him, We shall not be surprised
if the worst aspect ct this rumor is confirmed.
