The London correspondent of the National
LttelEgencer, under date of Sept. l4th, writes
as follows:-
"The next move in the Crimea is now the
question By the capture of Sevastopol near
ly 200, 900 hardened soldiers are set free from
the harrassing work of open trenches, the
nightly alarms of sorties, and an attack on
their flank. The Russian fleet being annihi-
lated, the fleets of the allies are at liberty to
transport any number of troops TO any point
they please. The Russians, on the other
hand, having lost not less than 10000 men,
must either hold the heights of Mackenzie,
with Simpheropol for then base, Or retreat
with all speed northward to Perekop, which
is the only line now open for them for no
one expects that Prince Gortschakoff will
long keep his army within the lines on the
northern side of the harbor Of Sevastopol.-
The lallies, With their overwhelming num-
bers, will cruelty harrass his retreat, and
having driven him into the barren steppe
which stretches between Simpheropol and
Perekop, will leave him to struggle for life
with his tamished and thirsty thousands
This is horrid picture, but there is a general
opinion that it will be realized. On the other
hand, if the Prince delays for few days and
permits the allies to transport corps d 0yReee
of from $4,000 to 100000 to Eupatoria, with
all their cavalry, the Russian army must be
destroyed; for defeat would be annihilation,
and all who know, or ought to know, any
thing about the matter, say that defeat is in
evitabe. few days or even few hours
will probably change speculation into certain
ty.
The news from tie Crimea this morning
that the Russians have now destroyed ell their
steamers, strengthens the suppositon that the
Russian commander contemplates retreat
from the northern side of Seyastopol, and is
determined TO destroy everything which might
fall into the hands of the allies. 1t is quite
reasonable that Prince Gortschakoff should
endeavor to extricate himself from the Cri-
mea as soon as he can. This will be q diff
cult affair. He is now completely hemmed
in very shortly supplied with food and am
munition, and completely cut off from any
chance of supplies. Whatever may be the
next scenes in this terrible drama, it appears
to be determined, not only by the French and
English presses but by the united voices OF
the French and English peoples, that The Cri-
n'eG nerer shall be Russian again.

important purposes. Special voluntary donations
in food, fuel &c, have been far less frequent,
while at the same time, the number of inmates
to be provided for, is greater now, than in any
former year What is to be done? Are the char.
tiles of our citizens to be in any degree withdrawn
from this excellent institution? Now that the
attraction of novelty with which it was at first
invested, has passed away, shall the hearts and
hands of those who are still laboring amid many
difficulties and discouragements, in this good
work, be weakened by the want of the necessary
funds for the accomplishment OF their cherished
plans We trust not. 1t cannot be that a So
elety, having for its object the present relief and
future moral and intellectual elevation of much
neglected portion of the community, will be suf-
fered to languish and die in our city, for thewant
of few hundreds to sustain it, while thousands
are readily given TO rear useful and expensive
structures, for religious, literary, and scientific
purposes? We confidently hope and expect, that
the hearts of the good and charitable will, as in
former years, cheerfully respond to any appeals
for needed help in behalf of so worthy an object,
and that our orphan family will be comfortably
provided for during the coming winter, by their
continued, undiminished generosity. NJ.

q NOVEL WAY TO GET UP \ RUsH.-The
Know Nothing friends of Governor Gardner pro-
cured special train 10 carry the delegates to
the Convention at Boston, but after good deal
of canyassing they came considerably short of the
number necessary to obtain reduction in price,
and so they issued handful offering a ride to
Boston, and stating that "aH those rho aoished to
improve the opportunity to rist any place Of
amusement can thus be accommodated at halt
price. By dint of such extraordinary exertions
about seventy five excursionists were rallied, and
it is to be presumed that quite number OF them
who did not visit any other 'place of amuse-
ment," went into the Convention and voted for
Gardner, as the voting was not restricted TO the
delegates, and all had an equal chance, provided
they were friends of the cause"

To the Editors Of the Spy Il wish to ask,
through your paper, with what party the Clerk of
the Police Court, in this city, intends to range
himself? Two or three weeks ago he was present
at a meeting for the choice of delegates to the
Republican Convention, and as a member of the
nominating committee, took an active part in the
proceedings-much too active, in my Judgment,
considering the character of his action. After
the nomination of Rockwell, he made haste to
declare openly that he should give his support to
the Republican ticket. Yesterday, beheld him
upon the platform among the officers of the X.
in the proceedings there, and evidently very much
at home, Where does he stand? He crept into
his present Office by taking advantage of his con
nection with the transcript as a news gatherer
Is he now trying. by playing double game, 10
keep his office, whichever party wins

able audience of ladies and gentlemen at Brinley
Hall last evening, to witness the performances
of Northup's troupe of performers, in the new
American Drama of the Free Slave. The spec
tators appeared to be highly pleased with the per-
Torrance, and manifested their approval by fire.
quent bursts of applause Mr.. Moron, as Icha'
bod Bass, made many good points, and Mrs,
Stanley, as Patsey-a colored gal, gave great
effect to some of the scenes. The performance
will be repeated again this evening, and we doubt
not that Old Brinley will be crowded. See pro-

POPULATION OF SALEM.-By the census Just
taken, the population of Salem is 1884. By
the U. S. census of 1850 it was 20, 264, which
shows gain in five years of $40. The number
of houses is 2,7z6, of families 4,6l2. The num-
Der of foreigners is not stated.
The Salem Gazette, in publishing the above re-
suit, makes comparison with the State census
of lS50,whch gave 1891 as the gross population,
thus making the gain apparently 1929. I,says,
the census taken by the U. S. authorities in
cludes certain classes of seamen, prison.
oners, &C., which are not enumerated by the
State authorities, and therefore always exceeds
the latter in numbers" These remarks are APP
plcable to former State censuses, but not, we be-
lieve, to the present. 1t was the purpose of the
law authorizing the present census, to base it ex
actly on the United States Census, as the editor
of the Register will find by examining the law,
and also the tables for taking the census The
State census, as heretofore taken, has been a
partial one, excluding certain classes of popula-
ton, for the purpose of ascertaining the repre-
sentative population of the several towns and
cities. The present is an entire census of the
whole population, and the true basis of compare
son, therefore, is the United States census, and
not the former census taken by the State. The
same error has been fallen into in several other
cases, but in all the returns, thus far, that we
have published, we have made tho comparisons
with the U s. Census of 1850.
The report of the census of Salem, as published
yesterday, was copied from Boston paper, and
proves to be incorrect. The above is copied from
the Register, and is undoubtedly right.
