mail as late as due is at hand There
were four deaths from yellow fever at
Norfolk during the twenty-four hours

The deaths at Portsmouth have aver
aged eight per day.
The sloop of war Marion has return

ter is dying. The fever has extended
from the infected district to the upper
part of Norfolk. II. S. Browton, Jr.
son of the editor of the Herald is dying.
Great difficulty is experienced in get
ting nurses, aud as high as ten dollars
per night is charged for attendance up
on the sick.
Portsmouth is almost depopulated.-
There are not more than fifteen hundred
people remaining in the place. Col.

FROM CHINA.

iSAanghai..-We copy tho following
interesting letter of Rev. M. Y. Yates,
from the last number OF the Home and
Foreign Journal.
The City Re taken You will doubt.
less rejoice to know that Shanghai isno
longer besieged city. The Imporia-
lists, by some means other than hard
lighting. got possession of the city last
night. Some say there were tieachery
on the part of some ofthe rebels having
exhausted all their supplies within tho
city, attempted to escape in the night.
1t it were an attempt to evacuate, It
was not very successful, for several
hundred poor victims were caught,
and have during to-day been beheaded.
Those who escaped last night are being
hunted down like wild animals. ! sup
pose more than half the rebels that es-
capped from the city will be detected
and executed.
Condition Of tile City.-The city of
Shanghai is now mere wreck The
lmperialists, when they got within the
walls, being it would seem determined
To make sure work oft this time, com.
"'S"SNN 'S'e''iS n'o 10 tue nOuSeSj anu
they did not stop this work of wanton
Obstruction till nearly. one half of the
best portion ofthe city was in Hames.--
Inc hre IS not yet wholly extinguished.
All the churches withi1the wall escaped
injury from the fire, though they narrow
ly escaped. 1t burned TO within ono
house ofthe Baptist Church; or within
few doors of the London Mission
Church; quite up 10 the Episcopal
Church, and quite up to the Sabbatarian
Church dwellings on three sides.
Injury to oar Buildings. The Bap-
tist Church has sustained very serious
damage from the French's attack upon
the city. 1t has been pierced many
times with round shot and ten-nch she'll.
The tower is so much injured that it will
have to be taken down, at least one half
oft. We have not yet made thorough
| examination as to the extent of the inju-
ry, but we know enough TO feel quite
sure that it will not be safe for the tow
er to remain in its present state. The
injury to the body of the church is not
such as to preclude our holding services
IN it, and | hope soon to resume my old
| stand.
| March GM.-About 1900 rebels have
been beheaded. The leaders of the re-
bellion at this place, it is said, have es-
capped.

Congress Of 1856.
Congress of 1854.


Here is positive gain to the new or
ganization Of about fifteen per cent.
over the established oligarchy which
holds the State government in porpctu-
ity, aided by the coin and cohorts of a
spoils administration. Well done, A.
mcricans of the South "a little more
grape" is only necessary to success
AS with our ancestors, a raw militia has
met the ridicule and fury of vindic-
tive government, and although not per-
haps match for the regular troops in
money, armament, or discipline, the
spirit which animatcs the American mi
litia is indomitable, and will conquer or
overthrow that oppression and unjust
ascendancy which has delivered the
country over to sectional agitation,
which has resisted every effort at peace
and compromise-which charges. you
with having combined with the section
al enemies that have united with the
sham Democracy to assail you.
The Americans have suffered much
injury from the unwillngness Of the
ancient Wings to surrender their or
ganization wherever they had a local
ascondency, and they have had to battle
against q spirit of malignity and mis-
representation that has manifested it
self in no other contest within our
knowledge.
1t has been charged with having o.
rienatcd in the land of Van Buren, and
Of Pierce. It has been charged with
religious persecution; with inhospitali-
ty to the alien. 1t has been denounc-
cd for utilization with abolition, when
the American party has divided itself
by excluding all abolitionists from its
National Plotform. These have been
81 few Of the difficulties which this new
party has had to encounter.
But the election Of thirty members
to the next Congress, pledged to the
platform of sectional peace, will have
an invaluable effect upon those elections
which are yet to take place; for, as
Stunning that the vote Of Che Southern
States to be heard from shall only give
the American Order the opposition vote
of the last Congress, there will be
compact Southern vote of between 30
and 30 members. These are pure A
,uerieans, pledged TO Che faith Of the
American union. [volume] (Morgantown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1855-1859, 1855-08-25

Platform, opposed to Notification and
Disunion, in favor of the Union and
peace; in one word, true members of
the American Union party. This com
pact and honest vote will be strength
ened by those of the Order in the North
who agree to maintain the settlement
section of the Philadelphia Platform.
We then congratulate our friends at
the South, and the friends of the con-
.stitution and sectional harmony every
where, upon the admirable results so
far. We earnestly adjure our friends
in Georgia, Maryland, and elsewhere,
to persevere if they cannot carry the
whole Congressional State ticket, let
them remember that every vote gained
is stone in the column reared to the
perpetuity Of the Union; that it will
be voice raised to protect the Ameri-
can citizen from the aggressive intru-
sion of ignorant and vicious aliens
that it will be significant rebuke of
ambitious hierarcy, which, crushed by
the ascendant authority ofrival despots
in Europe, is DESTROYS of erecting its
tottoring throne upon the ruins of
American liberty. Again, we say to
our friends, tight on; yow cause IS sa-
cred, and your ultimate success IS ce,'-
tain.

MOVEMENTS or Ex-P PRESIDENT FILL
MoRE.-The Cork Urcland) Reporter
thus alludcs to tho honors paid to dis
tinguished visitor at the Irish lakes:
The ex.President ofthe United States
Willard Fillmore, accompanied by Mr..
Davis, of the New York bar, and a
courier, has been sojourning for the last
few days OF the Lake Hotel, Killarney.
Having been fortunate in having fine
day through the "Gap." he expressed
himself delighted with the enchanting
scenery of this most beautiful spot, and
the varied beauties Of the lakes and the
mountains surrounding. As he was
leaving in the morning. the buglers con

themselves under tree out of view and
commenced playing "Yankee DOODLE
As he passed, the boatmen, grouped in
different parts of tho avenue, gave hin
three hearty cheers, as an acknowledge

public Of America. The distinguished
gentleman repeatedly acknowledged The
compliment, which was as unexpected
as it was enthusiastic.

LOUISVILLE HAS NO MfLrTARy.-The
louisville correspondent of the New
York Courier accounts for the riots by
the absence of military. He says:
Louisville has no military. Adolf.
tionists in New York aud New England
will be slow to believe that a slave
holding city of seventy thousand inhab-
itants, is without military force, but SO
is. Militia trainings few years ago,
gave place to volunteer companies, ma
tive and German. The natives tired of
scboolboy drilling and training where
there was no enemy, gradually ceased
to parade. Then when the Texan war
broke out or some other border foray,
Young America" stole an hundred of
the muskets that had belonged to the
native volunteers and took them to Tex
as. thinking no doubt as they were pub
lie property, each citizen had right to
his share"

Tho Odessa correspondent of one of
the Partisan journals furnishes the fol-
lowing letter, received from Russian
merchant still a resident in Sevastopol:
My prolonged silence has made you

all; but was obliged to emigrale and
abandon my quarters for subterrane-
Gus habitation, or rather cellar, whittier
was driven, whether or no, by the
shot and she'll of the enemy. My house
Suffered from the shot from the begin
ning OF the bombardmant of the town;
the windows are broken asa Inv rus5f'
knocked into holes, but we managed to
hold on, though in continual panic
However, about the middle of June
two shells fell, one into the kitchen and
the other into the Warehouse, and level
ed them both TO the ground. The ene-
my recommended muIderous canon
AIDE on the 17th, at in the morning.
| was writing in my office when a 90
FOUNDER from the French battery oppo-
site bastion No. 4 passed through two
walls and the stove, and fell Just at the
door. Ten minutes afterwards a she'll
oftwo hundred weight burst in the midst
of the court. After that it would have
been madness to think of stopping
In fact, by the evening the house was
in ruins from the top to the bottom
Shot, she'll and rockets were passing in
every direction. Very many of tho
houses that survived the bombardment
of the last nine months are now in ru.
ms. A great number Of the inhabi-
tants were killed or wounded while has.
tily carrying whatever they conld into
mines and pits. The cellar in which
now am is dug out of the rock, has no
window, and but one means of ogress
or ingress. My furniture consists of a
table, that is, of cask turned on lis
end, while smaller one serves me for
stool My bed is of primitive simple
city--a bundle of hay covered by u rug.
The warehouses and shops are remov.
ed into Fort Nicholas. The goods are
placed in long corridor on the ground
floor, which is vaultod over. The pub.
lie offices those of the Governor, Port,
the magistracy, the police, the customs
&c, are all in the same fort One Of
the buildings is also appropriated to tho
dispeDsary, the guard house, the head
quarters of General Osten Sacken. and
of General Kismer, the commandan, Of
Sevastopol; aud the troops are quarter.
ed in the upper stories. In short the
whole town has moved into Fort Mich.

The anti-Amcricans may crow as they
