THE MAssAoRs OF CHRISTIANS
AT SrDoN. The London Times con.
tains an account of the massacre Of
Christians a. Sidon, in Syria. We
extract as follows:
The town of Dheir-el- Ksmsr, after
defending itself for eight hours, had
surrended to Becbir Bey, the Druse
chief, who had besieged IT, Dbeir.el.
ksmsr, unlike the rest of Lebanon,
has, since 1910, been under the d.
rect government Of the Sultan. II
has Turkish Governor, and a gar
rison Of 800 regular troops During
the seige the inhabitants had asked
him to defend them against the Dru-
SEES, but he said he could do nothing,
and allowed the Christians TO defend
themselves az best they could, al.
though his troops were quite strong
enough TO beat off the besieeers. But
not shot did he FIRE The Chris.
tiaBs bad TO give in, both Oh account
OF their ammunition falling, and also
because the Druses had command of
the walls from the nights. The Gov.
ernor afterwards allowed the Dru.es
to burn one hundred and thirty hous.
es Of the Christians. When we ar.
rived the actual fighting was over,
but the place vas full Of prowlieg
Druses, who plundered and murdered
every Christian on whom they could
lay hands. The house of the Rev.
Mr. Bird, the American missionary,
was even more full of people than Mr.
Cahoun's had been. Bishops, priests,
men, women, children-all had sought
and obtained refuge with this family,
who had, in fact, given up the whole
of their house to the fugitives.

LETTER FROM JuN1ArA COUNTY. Pa.

iosCARoRA VALLEY, AUG. 25th, 1860.
FRIEND Kow IL drop you hasty note from
this "olu Democratic county, where ssthe
faithful' have held the reins for years, The
usual Democratic majority has been from one
10 three hundred in this county and this ia
Ken In connection with the present state of
things, is sort of index to the coming strug-
gle for the Presidency. At the Democratic
Convention held in MffiiH a few days since.
the Douglasites, being in the majority, nomi-
mated the Prothonotary, Commissioner and
Auditor, and then passed series of reSolu-
tions endorsing the Administration, after which
the ''Dougs" and ssBrecks" united on Breck-
lte for Congress. The two factions however,
do not approve of the action of the conven-
tlon, and each wing being represented by a
paper, each paper puts up the names of their
own men, and leaves those of the other party
out. And now the Breckenridge organ is out
Tor a new convention-a straight-out Breckin-
ridge one. All efforts to patch up peace
have as yet failed and are likely to do so, and
they have adopted the Bell and Everett game
A meeting was appointed for last night, in
Miffin. There is no doubt two-fold object
IN this-first, to distract the Opposition as far
as possible; and, second, giving notice that
they are for sale to the highest bidder
And now word on the other side. In a
ride OF nine miles up this valley we passed
three 'Lincoln, Hamlin & Curtin" poles, bear
ing flags with appropriate inscriptions The
enthusiasm in favor of the Republican nomi-
nees will carry this county by handsome ma
Jarity this fall and if this is the case in somo
OF the strongholds OF Democracy, what is to be
the general result is question that, admits of
but one answer. The friends of Lincoln and
Hamlin, here, look upon their election as GER
tain, and this conviction has been forced upon
the Democracy to such an extent that they
have given up the contest with Republicanism,
and have turned all their energies to the de-
vouring of one another.
Yours. YORIcK
