Arrival of the Pacific The Fall of Kars-More
Fighting in tho Crimea

The Collins mail steamship Pacific, Capt
Eldredge, arrived at half past o'clock Friday
afternoon. She sailed from Liverpool on Sat
urday, the 10Th inst
FALL OF KARS
The heroic garrison of Kars have at last been
compelled to surrender. The place has been
starved out, and compelled to capitulate to the
Russian army Of General Muravieii A most
painful sensation has been created by this event
in England and there is but one opinion, that
the gallant defenders of the place have been
ruthlessly sacrificed to neglect, their critical
position having been known for months past,
and so little done to relieve them.
THE WAR IN THE CRINEA-DEFEAT OF THE
RI SSIANS.
There has unexpectedly been some fighting
in the Crimea. despatch from Sebastopol, of
December 3, states
Between two and three thousand infantry
and four and five hundred cavalry have attack
ed Baga, Orkousta, Skvaka. After an hours
sharp firing, the enemy beat retreat, leaving
IN our hands about thirty prisoners, of whom
two are officers, besides killed and wounded, the
number of whom is unknown at present. Our
loss is insignificant"
The places above named are villages at the
eastern extremity of the valley of Baidar.
PROSPECTS OF PEACE
The language now held on the subject of
peace IS more guarded, the question does not
appear to have advanced a single step; and the
Russian organs scout the idea of the Gar civ.
ing way; meanwhile, the state of monetary mat
tiers in Russia is beginning to tell. and consid-
cradle alarm has been created by the failure of
the Imperial Bank of Odessa, which gave rise
to disturbances in that city. The Russian Gov
eminent has ordained that, to facilitate pay
ments from the State Treasury, the normal pro
portion of bullion to be held by the bank against
notes in circulation shall be diminished. 1t is
feared that the payment of the interest Of the
public debt will be suspended. A loan of fifty
million rOubles has been contracted with the
firm of Steigitz, third part of which will be
issued at Hamburg, aud the two others at Ber-
lin and Amsterdam.
REDUCTION OF THE AUSTRIAN FORCES.
Austria is about 10 reduce her forces, and
save thirty millions Of forms In this, we
see considerable step taken with regard to
Russia, who, doubtless, entertains little doubt
OF the sincerity Of her Austrian ally.
MISCELLANEOUS
Regarding the affairs of Colonel Tur, the
Nuremberg AOaiteur tells us that he will not
be given up to the English, the British Govern
ment being convinced that the law is all on the
side of Austria.
DROUGHT IN JAVA
Advices from Java, by the overland mail NJ
of the 10th of October, mention that, owing TO
the continuance OF drought, great apprehensions
were entertained for the growing crops of rice,
sugar, &c.

CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT.

Against all precedent, the President sent in
his Message to both Houses of Congress last
Monday, the House being yet anorganized 1t
was read in the Senate, and ordered to be
printed. An attempt was made to receive it in
the House, but it failed. On a motion to have
it read, which necessarily involved it's recep-
ton, the vote stood l27 against, SO for. Other
motions were made, but the whole subject was
laid upon the table.
The President was guilty of gross mpro-
priety in sending his Message to the House, the
first business of which by law is to elect
Speaker. To have received and read the Mes
sage would have been one kind of business,
and if the unorganized House be competent to
this, it is competent to the reception of memo
rails, &c. The proceedings on the occasion
we're very disorderly, owing to the pertinacity of
the Administration members.

You will rejoice with me to know that the
negotiations with Governor Shannon have
proved successful, so far as to satisfy him that
We have committed wrong ; and he has
ordered all the invading force to dishand. and
they are doing SO. He spent about FIVE hours
in private council with Gen. Robinson and
Col. Lane yesterday, during which time a writ
ten settlement was prepared and signed by the
parties; and az the close of the interview,
Governor Shannon made us very satisfactory
extempOre speech, on leaving the hotel
By that settlement, We have made no conces-
sion, have violated none OF our cherished re-
gard of individual honor. have alienated none
Of our former professions, nor Welded ND one
principle we hold sacred as defenders of inner.
rited rights. We have said we had no compro-
misses to make, for we had done nothing TO in
jure them, and knew not what they accused ms
of doing. Putting our position, Just as We
have always stood, upon paper, and signing it
is no concession on our part, but rather a writ
ten proof Of our innocence.
The document refers firstly to the rescue of
Branson, near Hickory Point, and says it was
made without our knowledge or consent, and
that we will not resist any legal process issued
to arrest the reScuers. 1t further states that
we will at all times aid the Governor, when
called upon, in the execution of any legal
criminal process against any of our citizens.
de agrees, that II any arrested in this vicin-
ity while a foreign force is in this Territory
they shall be tried in this town before District
Judge of the United States Court, and admitted
to bail. He further agrees, that all arrested by
the Sheriff without legal process shall be set at
liberty, and that he will use his influence to aid
rs in obtaining remuneration for all depreds
tons by the Sheriff posse in Kansas Territory.

THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS IN KANSAS.

We publish below portion of the correspond.
ence of the New York Times, containing the
latest intelligence from the Territory of Kan
sas. The compact which Governor Shannon
has made with the people Of Lawrence has not
yet been made public, bat these letters give the
material points of the document Both the
camps at Waukarusa aud Franklin have been
broken mp, and the Missourians have returned
TO their homes with bitterness in their hearts
against Governor Shannon. The Free State
Volunteers of Lawrence have also been dis
banded. with an understanding that they will
be paid for their services during the time thew
were-on military duty in defence of their city
against an armed mob. Thus the matter rests
now.

The veins are extremely regular, and the coal
can be uniformly mined in drifts, at an Aggrs-

fects Of such trade will be to give extraordinary

These conclusions are no doubt founded up
on solid grounds, The prospects are much
greater than when coal was fist introduced at
Potlsvile. Then the market was small on sc-
count Of its being so little used. Here there
a market of nearly two millions, and it only
wants the completion of that end of the road TO
spring at once into existence. Elk, also has
