The War---From the Crimea.

The Steamship Baltic arrived a few days
ago with late dates from the seat of War
One of the most important feature of
her news is an account of tremendous
explosion which recently occurred at Sc
bastopol. One hundred thousand pounds
of powder exploded spreading death and
destruction all around Windows were
knocked out of buildings at distance of
three miles from the spot where the ex-
plosion took place. Some two or three
hundred officers and men Of the allied ar
my were killed and wounded, and a large
amount Of stores and other property
burned up and otherwise destroyed.
Omar Pacta recently gained brilliant
victory over the Russians in Asia. The
battle was short but terrific, both armies
having lost large number of men.
All Military operations have been sus-
pended in the Crimea unit spring--botl
armies have gone into winter quarters.
The Allies have resolved to destroy
that portion of Sebastopol which is in theil
possession and are now engaged in de-
molishing every building except what are
actually necessary for the accommodation
Of their troops.
This is about all of Importance we fine
in the Baltic's mails.

Mr. Richard son.

We have rarely found SO much truth
in so few words, as in the following pithy
extract from the Cleueldnder:
There are but two higher Offices on
earth than that of Speaker OF the House
of Representatives of the American Con
gress; and yetthe man who for few days
has received the most votes for that posi-
ton was w. A. Richardson, Of Illinois,
We met that Mr. Richardson last sum-
mer on Lake Superior, and found him to
he six foot bully, dirty in person, black
guard in language, drunken in habit, in
short just such a man as could not OBJ
tain admission to any Cleveland resi-
dence of pectability. Should he be E.
lected it would be disgrace to hamani
itv, to the Union, and to Repubiicanism
and an evidence that republics are not on
" sungrateful," but shameless.
And this is Mr.. Douglass man Friday
the immaculate mover of the Nebraska
Bill; the man whom the Locofocos wish tt
elect to the office of Speaker of th'
House of Representatives! We verify
believe that the standard of morality a
mong the leaders of that party is becom
ing lower and lower every day. How
long will public sentiment tolerate suci

A Shareholders View of the Case.

The Richmond Enquirer takes the side
of Russia in the present war with France
and England for the following reasons:
Russia with slavery has become great,
powerful and contented Western Eu
rope, without slavery, has rapidly retro
graded, and become poor, seditoius, revo-
lutionary. Taunted as we are with our in
stitutions, we like to appeal to the exam
pie Of Russian progress and Western Eu-
ropean decline. No people in Christen-
dom are SO happy and contented as the
Russians, except the people OF the South
ern States"
Here is an argument in favor of Slave
rv. 1t is not confined to blacks, or to e.
ven different races. At least forty millions
of the sixty millions are slaves, and are
of the same color and race as their mas
ters. The argument goes to the extent OF
advocating the slavery of the lower clas-
ses in all Western Europe, and Of extend
ing the blessings of that institution to
three fourths Of the white people of the
free States All who are obliged to labor
for their support should be slaves. The
rich, the landholders, the men who are a
BILE to live without work. should be lords
of our free States, and hold the laborers
as serfs, after the manner Of Russia

WYANDor CoRN.-A correspondent of
the Missouri Republican gives the follow
ing account of a new species of corn e1-
hibited at the late Illinois State Fair:
A farmer from Waverly, Morgan county,
was there with three large goods boxestill-
ed with the Wyandot corn, which he sold
tr1 the million at-twvnty i've cents per ear,
for seed. He told me that he had six acres
Of this corn this season, which yielded an
average of one hundred and fifty bushels
per acre. This corn was obtained from
the Wyandot na,ion three years ogo-and
last year was its first yield in IlIinois-a
half an acre grown, by this Morgan coun-
ty farmer. He sold the seed at one cent
per kernel, last fall and winter to persons
throughout the State, and this year con-
siderable has been grown. The ears are
from FIVE to nine inches long, and not so
large round as the common variety. 1t is
fine pearly white, and has but little chit,
and grinds nearly all into meal. A chem
ical analysis of its properties proves 1t to
contain "a large proportion of gluttinous,
s,archy qualities, and less of spirit and
strength than the great yellow dog tooth
corn, for which Suckerdom is famous
This corn is planted one kernel to the hill
and sometimes in drill. The one kernel
forms a mass of rooty fbres, often as
large as a mans hat, and from these
spring up from four to nine shoots ol
stalks. and each of these stalks will beal
from one to FIVE ears. A hill of this corn
was grown this year in Upper Alton
from one kernel, which multiplied to the
extent of over eight thousand kernels.
This is brief description OF the Wyan
dot corn, as it was given to me on the
Fair ground, and | presume is In The
main correct. 1t is now quite the rage a
mong the Sucker farmers, and my inform
ant sold off his ears at quar- er each llk'
hot cakes. Whether it will come int
general use. and whether it will not turf

ratonsi in Illinois SOIL as the case will

KANSAS, Thursday, Dec. 6. 1855.
Last night, about l O'Clock, the pro
slavery party encamped on the Waskaru-
sa, bv direction Of Gov. Shannon, arres-
ted Gen. Pomeroy as he was passing the
camp on his way from Lawrence to this
place, and found important dispatches for
the east about his person. They will
probably hold him in custody until order
is restored in the Territory.
Threats have been made by number
of persons in the neighboring towns to
tear down the American Hotel at this
place, under the impression that it be-
longs to the Emigrant Aid Society; bu
citizens here will defend it, as they know
it does not.

Kansas.

The St Louis Inlelligencer, in speaking
of the recent excitement in Kansas says:
''There are significant fa, is here, that
give assurance thatt there will be no "war"
in Kansas. Let us note them.
l. The extreme excitement is in Mis-
souri--not in Kansas--the truth being, as
we have said, that it is no new position in
Kansas for the territorial sheriffs TO be
repudiatcd.
2. The free State men are willing to
be governed by the u s. officers and to
submit to them.
3. The militia Of Kansas did not tres
pond" when Gov Shannon called them!
This is remarkable fact. The question
lis, why? Did they sympathise with the
Free State men? If so, then all Kansas
lis against those territorial laws-conclu-
sive proof that the people Of Kansas did
not make and do not approve them.
H. The M>SouionS that were precipl-
tatcd thoughtlessly into volunteering to
march into Kansas, only hold themselves
in readiness to move" After they think
:. little, they will conclude it is their duty
to ''move" home.
s. Gov. Shannon has only $3.50 TO 800
men, to back him, drawn from all sour
ces. He is wisely waiting for greater
force,' before marching against Sin

This intimates that on sober, secon;
thought, the Miss ourians desire to b.

will have regard for peace, we dare say
and so will end the Kansas Civil War!
