DIsGKAcEyuL OUTRAGE In CHuRcH.--Our little
town Is In quite state of excitement owing to a
difficulty that occurred last Sunday evening in
church. A very worthy, unoffendng, and quiet
citizen, Mr.. McClelland, went to church and took
seat usually occupied by Mr.. Mills. Our worthy
parson, Mr.. Brown, had commenced services, and
was exhorting sinners when Mr.. Mills entered aud
noticed Mr. N. in his seat, without saying word
he turned and left, but in short time returned,
and walking in bullying manner in front Of the
reyerens speaker, requested silence, and ordered
Mr.. McClelland to vacate his seat Immediately The
latter not Immediately complying, Mr.. Mills rushed
forward, pulled pistol srom his pocket, and pre-
sented It at the breast Of McClelland. He did not
shoot, however, but bullied round in most dis
graceful manner, showing himself perfectly con-
temptible william, unworthy the confidence or re-
spect Of any r. nteman. He is probably good for
q few months free board" at Jackson

The deep interest which has been felt by all par
ties in the deliberations of the National knoW-Noth-
ing Convention in Philadelphia, has induced US to
appropriate considerable space to the publication OF
the reports of its proceedings. We give IN another
column the resolutions of the majority and minority
committees on The subject of Slavery, the adoption
OF which, as will be seen by the dispatch on our hrs
page was the of split in the ConVenu0n ana
the withdrawal of the delegate from most OF the free
States of all, we believe, from the States IN Wmch
the new party is in the ascendant.
Though this result was not unexpected Dy US, new
ertheess there is something melancholy ana alarm
ing in the condition of Northern sentiment and feel
ing which it discloses In it we have another strl-
king demonstration of the fact that Know Nothing
ism at the North is in deadly hostility to the instu
tons and rights of the South and another solemn ad
monition that the time is rapidly approaching when
the question is to be determined whether those nights
and institutions can be maintained by us under the
Constitution, and within the pale OF our political
Union. The Methodist church, the old Wing party,
and now the Know Nothings-one after another the
national unlties by which our people were once
bound together, have been dissolved, leaving only
the National Democratic party to resist the swelling
tide of inveterate sectlonallsm which threatens TO
overwhelm the Constitution, and rend tie Union IN
fragments The Know Nothings of the North must
now become sectional, one idea party. They will
absorb the Abolition party the Free Soil party, and
all but the conservative element IN the Old Wing
party. Thus consolidated it will be powerful for
evil. But it will find resistance at home, IN that
party which still preserves its unity with the South
and its devotion to the Constitution and the Union
In that party at the North. sustained by the United
South rests the last and only hope of the Union.
sectional party here would not strengthen while
it would ,iesroy that unity, and drive from us the
conservative men of the North. We may be united
as one party at the South, the principles of the
Georgia platform adopted by the Democratic patty,
and not dlsunte ourselves with constitutional men in
the North Is ii not our policy, in view of the ap-
preaching crisis to divisions, dismiss our
preudices, and by uniting upon recognized national
platform, invite and encourage the cooperation Of
patriotic of all sections, in maintaining the Con
stitution-the only guarantee of our own and their
rights in the Union I? We believe it is. And we be
leve further that the man who in the present crisis
counsels divisions and issues not of vital Importance

TO- The Fayetteville Observer is too shrewd not to
and acknowledge that the late Philadelphia Con-
yenton of the K. Ms plainly demonstrated the to-
tai impossibity of organizing any national party
upon the basis of that order. The thing has fallen
through. But the Observer is wrong in concluding
that because the old Wing party, and the late K. N.
order both failed, there exists no element of nation
atty in politics. Prejudice shuts its eyes to the ex-
istence, the strength and the frmness of the Demo-
cratic partV

Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

1t has leaked out that, although the Pennsylvania
delegation did not secede from the K. N. Convention
and even appear the face of things to 90 for the
majority platform, that in fact, it is in appearance
only Elk. Governor Johnson and three of the Penn
sylvania delegation were in favor of the minority
(aboition) report and Two in favor of the majority
(milk and waer). Johnson says he will submit the
whole affair to the State Council. That council will
assuredly reject anything that does not go the whole
anti. Southern figure. New Jersey is in the same
position The delegates go for the platform subject
to the ratification of the State Convention sort Of
quasi conditional going for the platform, which is
equivalent to going against it, as there is no doubt
of the action of the State Convention Thus it ap-
pears that the whole order at the North has gone off
bodily from the national order.
1t is reported that in the course Of the debate a
Virginian said
Your Northern elections are all through with !;
you have carried them now give us the majority
platform and we will sweep the South, and before
your elections come round again the Kansas question
will be settled"
If this be not as pretty piece of humbug as one
need ask 10 see hear tell of in days journey, we
are no judge of the article and it has been our bust
ness to expose good deal of it.

Bv the las, steamer we received letter, of which
the following is extract:
OFF SEBAsToPoL May 6, 1855.
We left this place Thursday last with thirty
line of battle and other Ships with 1900 troops on
board We started as if for Odessa, and at midnight
altered our course for Kertch, expecting a severe ac
ton on the morrow. We were to lead the way,
sounding as we went. The troops were TO disembark
in the evening We cleared for action, took our top
mass and topgalIant yards down, and made a strong
network of ropes aloft TO prevent the spars when
shot away, from falling down upon and crushing us
Every man had his orders from the doctor what to do
in case of being wounded beds were got ready, and
the chests arranged to receive them, and all were
ready and anxious for what we expected would prove
a hard fought action wrote kind of will, saying
what wished TO have done with my things if | was
killed In the morning all the ships had arrived
and we were quite ready with longing hearts, to- be-
gin, when the admiral made signal 10 hold a coun
ell of war Then all our plans were altered the
French admiral had been recalled, and with him
went the troops, which we could not do without, all
can add is that all given up, and we returned
10 our old quarters"
Thus ingloriously ended the Kertch expedition, as
reported by the last steamer. 1t appears now that
its object is actually accomplished and the has
fallen into the hands Of the allies. 1t is certainly
most important acquisition to its possessors. Sit
uated the west side of the Straits of Yenlcale it
commands the only communl cation between the sea
of Azoff and the Black Sea. According TO McCul-
luch, in the outer road five six miles from town,
there 10 feet of water in the inner bay, there
are IA feet and close in shore from TO II feet.
AS is the case with most of the Russian fortified
towns on the Black Sea, its population is not great,
but being the principal means of communication of
large portion of Russia with the commercial world,
it has long been considered place of great import
In It's vicinity have been established foundries
for the manufacture of munitions of war, and grana-
ries for the support of the garisons of the Crimea
To say nothing of the loss of the vessels sunk in the
harbor, and the stores and magazines deliberately de-
the enemy, the loss Of the town be sorely felt.
To the Allies, as we said above, its acquisition is
very important. 1t gives them command of the Sea
of Azoff, as well of the Black Sea, already their
vessels of cruising therein. What use will
