FROM EUROPE.

The San Francisco Herald of Sunday pub
lishes highly important news from Europe that
did not reach New York until the day after the
departure of the steamers for California. The
intelligence from England was to December Cd,
two weeks later, and only thirty-tive days in
transit from Liverpool to San Francisco-and
from the Crimea to November 10Th, only forty
eight days on the way.
The Herald of the Sih says:
On the day preceding the departure of the
steamer from liverpool, it Was reported that
another battle had taken place in front of Sebas-
topol. but the rumor lac ked conhrmaiion. Since
the great battle of the 5th of Nov ovember. now
called the battle of Inkerman in " hich seventy
thOnsand RusSlans were engaged. and in which
The carnage on both sides was terrible The
loss sustained by the russians alone. in killed
and wounded, was Is. 900 7 both the besiegers
and the besieged have been obliged to pause for
breaih, nellher being in position to attempt a
decisive blow. In the meantime the fortihca-
ljnn of the houses in the interior of Sebastopol
was being pushed forward with vigor and even
should the Allies succeed in demoishing all the
onter works, desperate resistance may be ex-
pected, tor every house will be fort well gar
risonei and we'll supplied with ammunition and
provisions.
The elements too, favor the Czar. On the
l4th of November terrible tempest swept over
the Black Sea. in WHICH the Iine-ot- battle ships
Prince and Sea Nymph ioundered, and all on
board were lost. The Henry WITH and Pluto,
and thirty-two transport ships, were totally lost.
and three mail steamers. and several other yes
sells of war. stranded. one of which the
Retribnti"n. was only saved by throwing the
lower deck guns overheard. This was a heavy
disaster to the Allies. Ancienr and modern his
tory will be searched in vain for parallel to the
siege OF Sebastopol. Attacked both by sea and
land by the combined forces of,wo of the most
powerful NATIONS in the world, it yet stands and
mouths must elapse before it can be REDUCED
The siorming Of Sebasiopol will be one of the
greatest and grandest conflicts which ever took
place in the history of the world. Thousands
upon thousands will be slain in the deadly
breach and the Allies can never gain the inte-
rior till they have climbed the bodies of
their companions in arms piled mountains high.
This event is rapidly approaching.
During the ten days which elapsed since the
great battle of Inkerman. and the sailing of the
last packet from the Seat of War; upwards of
fifteen thousand troops had passed through the
Bosphorus. en- route To reinforce The Allied Army
before Sebastopo; and, according 10 the Jour
nal of Constanripople, forty thousand Turks
were under orders for the Crmea; besides,
thirteen steamers had arrived at MaIselles for
the purpose of conveying additional French
troops to the scene Of action.

From Yreka.

E. J. Curtis, Assemblyman from Siskiyou ar
rived i'm town on Thursday, and left the ,tollow-
ing morning for the Capital. The report that
obtained currency below, to the effect that he
had been cut off by the Indians. is thus most
happily contradicted. He had severe time in
crossing the mountains. and came very near
having one Of his feet frozen. The difficulty in
count of the recent heavy fall of snow. will of
course account for his failure to reach the Capt.
tai at an earlier day.
Mr. j. Thomas, an old Yreka pioneer, of
the firm of Murray & Thomas, Mr.. Fox of the
firm of Templeton & Co., and Mr.. McNeal,
came through at the same time, and are en- route
for the Atlantic States-the latter to remain !;
the others to return speedily, the former with
his family.
Mr. Raines. of Cram, Rogers & Co.'s Express.
came through on Wednesday and supplied US
with the Mountain Herald of the 9th.
The snow on Trinity and Scott Mountains was
Eve or six feet deep.
The Herald comes to us in greatly enlarged
| FORM and in an entirely new and elegant dress.
We congratulate our eontreres upon this the best
possible evidence of the liberality Of their pa
| irons.
The Herald editor intimates that as soon as
Miss Pellet arrives with the maidens spoken of,
he will whisper to one of them :" that Mr. Dosh
is such nice young man." You might do so
with truth but then there is no need of it, We
are capable of going in exclusively on !" shape
aud talent"--we are. We cannot whisper the
same sentiment into the ear of one of the dam
sells in behalf of Van Choate. We would like
to do so for the poor fellow, but our utter abhor-
renee of violating the ninth article of the deca-
logue precndes it,

Don't Forget.

The semblance Of one who is dreaming,
-Ah! ever and ever of thee,
To-whom thy least smile hath seeming
Like sunbeams afar ON the sea;
Like sunbeams that brighten the billow,
Where darkness and mid-winter slept:
Ay, such is thy smile to my spirit,
Ipray thee, dear one, don't forget.
Thou'st looked upon many faifer,
I. On many SUMMER brow,
On lips with dewiness rarer. $50.
Than these which are greeting thee now;
And many an eye that was bluer
And brighter than mine thou hastniet,
But ne'er with heart that was truer-
Ipray thee, dear one, don't forget.
As dew to the sun-stricken flower
The cool splashing murmur of streams
In the desert at Moons fervid hour
Like the voices that greet us in dreams;
Like all that is brightest and dearest
In hope and in memory set,
Art thou andthy love to my spirit
: pray thee, dear one, don't forget.
Fayetteville observer. [volume] (Fayetteville, Tenn.) 1850-1966, 1855-03-29
Thrilling Paragraph.

/ well remember the captain Of
the Moselle, which exploded at Gin
Ecinnati some years ago, but wEo was,
at the tine speak Of, commahding
another boat, trading from Cincinnati
to New Orleans. We we're followed
by another boat, from whose CHM
Ineys rushedggaptic columns of thick
black smoke, showing that he was
urging her speed BY burning rosin-
a very common device in such cases
on the Western rivers. Our Cap
tain went foaming and swearing
through the boat in a tremendous
excitement. An old lady. a. cabin
passenger, went up to him aud beg
ged him to go more slowly. AL
waited what he would say. | shall
never forget his answer: Madam
said he, swearing a horrible oath, ''if
! knew every soul on board would
be blown to bell, / would not suffer
that boat to pass mel He did not
suffer t,and his impious blasphemy
was for that time permitted by his
Creator to go unpupished. A few
months afterwards. however, he COM
mauded the Moselie, and when the
terrific explosion of that boat teok
place, caused, as was asserted, by the
Captain leaning his weight against
the safety-yalve, and declaring that
he woSld not lose an inch Of steam
--he,r poor wretch, was blown hun
dred feet through the air, and his
head forced, up to the shoulders,
through the roof of shed standing
near the wharf Charleston Cear.
