MIR. Edmand Rice, brother of the Delegate
elect, appears in a letter in the Minnesotian OF
yesterday morning, denying that either the money
or influence of the company were brought to bear
on our late election. To this letter the editor of
the Minnesotian replies
"* But his defense does not clear
his brothers. tools--Emerson, Brown, &c.-from
the charge we brought against them on the 5th,
(and followed up in our article of the l3th,) of
'sing the influence of the Compdnyto defeat and
strike do,cn material and original friends of the
enterprise We are aware that Mr.. Edmund
Rice did not-personally, nor as the agent Of the
company--use the means or influence Of the COM
pany to elect his brother to Congress, so far az
any proof before US can be brought against him.
But the difficulty rests here: The Democrat, the
publicly accredited organ of II. NJ. Rice in St.
Paul, did read out of che Railroad ranks, before
the election, all men ,cho opposed Mr.. II. M.
Rice Mr.. Marshall and the Minncsotian included.
sOrginal and material friends of tho enterprise
were attacked on the st. Croix and elsewhere by
the known stipcndaries of H. NJ. Rice; and the
voters were told that the only hope of consumma-
ting the enterprise was II. N. Kice's election to
Conrress
But there is no less doubt that his brothers
hirelipgs did mse the prestige Of that brothers

critical moment Of turning the popular scale be-
fore the election, IN order to make the vote,

FROM OREGON TxRRlToRY.----Weh have news from
Oregon to the 9th Of August. The Willamette
valley had nearly become depopulated by the rush
for the Colville gold disssags, which are nor said
to be very productive. An emigrant train, num-
bering three numbered persons, was attacked by
fifty slaip, and all the stock and provisions cap
tured. Among the killed was brother of Gen.
Lane, together with his family. We give this
news as we received it. The loss, we are inclin-
ed to believe, is greatly exaggerated = Washing

o movement towards Inkermann was made by the
army of the Belbek. Soon after our fire began,
as early as o'clock the working parties which
60 over to the north side every morning seemed
to be recalled, and were marched back again
across the bridge to the south no doubt to be in
readiness for our expected assault. From II to
5 O'Clock p. nj. the firing was slack; the French
then resumed their cannonade with the same as
founding vigor as at dawn and at 10 O'Clock, and
ceased their volleys Of shot and shell against
the place till l-2 when darkness set in, and all
the mortars and heavy guns English as well as
French, opened with shell against the whole line
of defences. ' ...'s. ..i .-.t -.ffs"-
NIGHT! A GRAND AND AWFUL SCENE-DES-
TRUCTION OF RUSSIAN VESSELS. .sFTl
A description of this scene is now impossible.
There was net one instant in which the shells did
not whistle through the air--not moment in
which the sky was not scanned by their fiery curve
or illuminated by their explosion. Our practice
was beyond all praise. Every she'll burst as it
ought, and the lines of the Russian earth-works,
of the Redan. Malakoff, and of all their batteries
were rendered visible by the constant light of the
bursting shells. At 5 O'Clock it was obssrv ed that
frgate in the second line near the north size was
smoking and as it grew darker flames were seen
to issue from her sides. Men and officers rushed
to the front in the greatest delight and excitement
and as night came on, the whole vessel broke out
into one grand blaze from stem to stern. The de-
light of the crowd Cathcart's Hill was intense.
"Well, this is a sight!--to see one of these con-
founded ships touched at last - These and many
different and stronger expressions were audible on
all sides; but there were some who thought the
Russians had set the ship on fire, or that incendi-
aries and malcOntcnts were at work, and one gen.
tleman even went so far as to say be s'thought it
merely signal-may be to recall their cavalry
from Eupatoria." lt
1t is not precisely known how the thing was done.
Some say it was done bv the French others by our
selves; and bombs, d-hot-shot, and rockets have
been variousy named as the agency by which the
fire was accomplished. In spite of the efforts of
the Russians, the hames spread and soon issued
from the ports and quarter gallery. At O'Clock
the light great the houses of the city and the
forts on the other side could be discerned without
difficulty. The masts stood long, and lowered
aloft like great pillars of fire; but after the
other they yielded; the decks fell in about 10
O'Clock, and at midnight the frigatc was burned to

WEDNESDAY, OCT. H. 1856.


Give ms Good Men and we will Vote for Them.
This was the cry of the limber-backed Republi-
cans previous to the election, but when the cleo
ton came off they were found on the side of
Henry M. Rice, Stephen A. Douglas, and the Ne
braska infarny, voting to elect man whose tri-
umph is now trumpetted abroad by his organs, as
Nebraska victory. All through the country the
news will spread like wild fire that Minnesota has
declared for Slavery and not for Freedom, and as
a consequence, broken down Nebraska politicians
and bloated grog shop keepers will haste to come
among us and seek to preserve intact our present
corrupt political system. Who is responsible p
Those who deserted their Principles their Man
hood---thcir Friends, and clandestinely deposited
their votes for one whom they had previously de-
nounced in unmeasurcd terms! Out upon them;

breeze. 20, ID, 81 E .,s1 -s.,.t.-. .
What more honest, honorable or talented man
could have been found in our Territory to repre-

Republicans wished? Could they say aught
against him? Why not then vote for him? Let
them ask their own hearts now that the contest il
over. 1t is enough for us to know that they de-
serted their standard, and like all other traitors
deserve traitors doom. .t e
But then there was our Legislative ticket.
Was it not good ticket? Were not the men on
that ticket fully capable of representing us we'll

THE SECOND DAYS COMMANDMENT.


Sept. 6.-Last night steady fire was kept up
along the front, to prevent the Russian repairing
damages. At 10 p. NJ, orders were sent to our
batteries to open, as soon there was good light
the following morning, but they were limited to
so rounds each. At 5 l-2 o'clock the whole of
the batteries from Quarantine to Inkermann open
ed with grand crash. The Russians were silent
before The cannonade was maintained as it
was yesterday. There were three breaks or lulls
in the tempest; from l-2 till 10 o'clock, from
IL till 5, and from 6 I-2 to O'Clock the fire was
comparatively slack. Captain Shone, Il. A. was
killed yesterday in the batteries by round shot.
He was brave and much esteemed officer. re-

-s- THIRD DAYS BOMBARDMEHr.

Sept. The cannonading was resumed at day
break, the Inkcrmann batteries firing bri<kly. A
counsel of generals was held to-day at head luir-
ters, the sick cleared out of the field hospt-
ais, and it gradually oozed out that the assault
would take place to morrow at II o'clock. The
firing was tremendous all day, but clouds of dust
which high wind from the north drifted into our
faces, rendered a view of the place impossible.
About O'Clock, two decker was set on fire
and burned all night. A steamer towcd other
vessels near her away to the dock yard harbor,
but the lines of memo -of-war are still intact
Flames broke out behind the Redan in the after
noon. The bombardmcnt was renewed at dusk
Sandman corps marched up to reinforce

in the Supreme Court of the United States. The
usual courtesy was disregarded, and the Colonel

bad, and many soldiers were deserving it. The
Car exhibits no intention Of surrendering, but
on the contrary, he expects to visit the Crimea,
and prepare for winter campaign. Although
the Allies have been successful in demolishing
portion Of Sebastopol, yet they will find they
have heap Of work to do before Russia is
humbled. Judging by present appearances,
the war will continue for many years. '
