The War.
The progress Of hosttes since last advices has
no feature whatever OF Importance.
At Sevastopol the Allies continued their prepa
rations for winter and especially in their road
making, which is intended also to further future
hostile operations
The Russians from the north side continued to
fire upon the city, but not with so much energy as
they had previously, and, of course, with even less
effect.
Throughout the Crimea and Southern Russia,
hostities as far as the reports thus far received
by the Africa 60 to show, were similarly suspended.
There is no report of any further movement OF
Importance from Asia
Peace Itumors.
There were number of r,lmors current as to
the progress made towards reopening peace nego-
tiations; but there was nothing certain about any
of them.
Sweden.
1t is rumored that Gen Canrobert has fplly sue
ceeded in the object Of his mission to Stockholm,
and that Sweden has consented to join the Allies in
the contest against Russia, should the war not be
closed by next spring.
The treaty to this effect is said to have been
already signed, and has only to await ratification.
The Gar Suing for Peace.
1t is reported that the Gar has desired Prussia

England.
The political news from England comprises

/ LOUISVILLE, November 27.-The American
Mass Meeting, heretofore announced, was organized
here this morning, delegates being present from
Ohio, Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Loui-
siana, Mississippi and Kentucky E. B. Bartlett,
of Kentucky, presided, and resolutions, were
adopted as follows:
RESOLVED That the union of the States affords
the best assistance to guarantee the preservation OF
liberty and the prosperity of the American people
Resolved, That cherishng the right of private
judgment in matters of religion, we are opposed to
union OF Church and State, and opposed to &c.
clesiastical combinations by any denomination to
produce political effect, we cannot recognize any
attempt of foreign power to assume political gov
eminent under pretence of ecclesiastical jurisdc-
ton, otherwise than as assault upon the nstitu-
tons of America
Resotued, That the existing naturalization laws
are unsatisfactory and unsafe, and that additional
legislation by Congress is necessary.
Resotped, That this meeting reaAirms the prir-
ciples of the platform of the American party
adopted at Philadelphia, and maintains them as
the basis Of political action.
Resol0ed, That the American party of Louisville
deplore the events of the 9th of August last but
feel no degree of responsibility for them, and pub
lcly declare that no scheme of violence had been
concerted Or meditated by them. The rioting orr.
ginated in waton assault on unofending citizens,
not meddling in the elections
Resolved, That we wish no further controversy
on this subject, but whenever like occasion ex-
hibts similar recklessness and wickedness on the
part Of our adversares the Americans of Louisville
will firmly maintain their rights at all hazards.
The meeting here adjourned till the afternoon.

MORE GEORGIA Colonies AND MAJoRs.-A
bill has been introduced into the House of Re-
representatives. at Milledgeville, says Georgia
paper, to suspend militia musters in time of
peace, and to make sheriffs ex-officio colonies,
their deputies majors, and constables captains
Even if no new counties are created, this would
give US, in addition to our present abundant
supply, one hundred and twelve colonies, and at
least as many majors, and an indefinite number
Of captains every two years. How many chan
ces would there then be for man to escape a

Post has the following good one from cores
pondent:
1t is customary in many of our city churches
for the congregation to join in singing the last
hymn. On Sunday last gentleman, accompanied
by his little girl Of some Eve years OF age, srayed
into one of the aersad churches, and his fine voice
materially assisted the choir in getting through
Winchester" just before the benedicton, the
little girl, observing the fine effect produced by
her parent on the occupants of the surrounding
pews, cried out in an audible voice, Papa, please
sing Wilkins and his Dinah'" It is needless to
add that the benediction was Undecided

FOREIGN POSTAGE STAMPs.-We learn from the
Post Office Department that Canadian postage
stamps are not unfrequenty affixed to letters in
tended to be mailed at offices within the United
States for Canada. 1t may be useful to the public
to understand that any letter mailed within the
United States, whether to another Office within
them or to foreign country, no postage stamp
except those of the United States can be used to
prepay, or recognized as evidence of prepayment
of the postage on such.

gg BY consulting an advertisement, it will be
seen that Drs Frizell & Gaines have disposed Of
their drug store to DR.. E. L. Lashbrook, who will
henceforth conduct the business in his own name,
and at the old stand, corner of Market St. Louis
Street. The Doctor is worthy gentleman, a
competent druggist and pharnacian, and we
doubt not will meet with due encouragement from
the hands of his numerous friends If people will
get sick, we know of none whom we would prefer
to see receive a liberal support than Doctor
Lashbrook

SOMETHING OF A TAx.-The shippers of gold
from California to New York have paid between
three and four millions of dollars to the New
York insurance companies in the last five years,
while the aggregate losses of the insurers have
not exceeded two hundred thousand dollars
Messrs. P. Sather & Co., of New York, have
paid for insurance over two hundred thousand
dollars. We understand there is combined eff
fort making among the bankers to get the rate
reduced from liz to per cent, the latter figure
being the rate at which the English companies
offer to Insure.

SroRM.-During the wind and rain storm, which
PASSED over this section of country, on Tuesday
night last, one Of the chimneys of the Terrebonne
Hotel, situated the road leading from this place
to Houma, was blown down, crushing in a conside-
rable portion Of the roof, and causing the whole
building to surge like ship at sea; the link on
the roof was also ripped up for considerable
extent, and had the storm lasted five minutes
longer, the whole building would have been blown
to atoms. 1t is almost unnecessary to add that,
though the inmates of the house were considerably
frightened, escaped without any bodily injury.

WILLARD FILLMoRE.-The Philadelphia Bull
etin, says the Sun Of the same City, in common
ting upon the resolution offered at the recent
American meeting at Trappe, Montgomery
county, in favor of the reelection of Willard
Fillmore to the Presidency, says: 90 The senti-
ment Of this resolution is that of very large
portion of the American people. They can new
er forget the prcpriety and dignity of the course
Of Mr. Fillmore. under circumstances as trying
as any man could well have been placed in
They look back to his administration with salts
faction, as one of those periods to which Amer
lean history can proudly point, and when they
consider all that has since happened to mortfy
the nation, it is not surprising that they should
look to Mr.. Fillmore as a man to whom the
honor and interests of the country may again
be safely entrusted"
To this we most heartily respond, and add our
earnest wish that the friends of the distinguish
ed ex-President may press his claims to the hon
ored distinction of a reelection.

A ROMANTIC INCIDENTAL Soldier who was
present at the capture Of sebastopol, relates the
following romantic story:
"a party Of men belonging to the different re-
gments were paroing from house to house in
search of plumber. In one of the houses they came
across beautiful young female about seventeen
or eighteen years of age. Of course, some gnor-
ance was shown amongst the party, who COM
menced to drag her about, and would have used
violence to her had not young man belonging to
the 18th taken a musket and threatened to blow
the first mans brains out that aid finger on her
whereupon the young lady flew to this man, and
the way back to the camp, when, coming in sight
of the camp, he beckoned her to return; but she
would not leave him.
"Whether she had followed in love at first sight
don't know; but she came to the camp with him.
As soon as he got there he was instantly confined
for being absent when the regiment was under
arms She followed him to the guard tent, and
cried after him. The Colonel of his regiment,
seeing the affection she bore him, released him.
and sent both before General Harris, where an in
terpreter was got, and she related the affair to
them.
I" 1t turned out that she was the Generals daugh-
ter, with some thousands. She was beautifully at
tired, and carrid gold watch, and wore set Of
bracelet of immense value. The young man is now
about to be married to her. She will not leave him
upon any account whatever; and if he is not
lucky dog, don't know who is"
The above may be true, but it sounds apocry-
