The present democratic administration de serves and receives the most cordial approval of all -fair-minded men for the integrity and honesty displayed in its management of the finances of the country. In this crisis, when corruption is running riot, it is a matter of just pride among democrats that those to whom they have committed the helm of State and the guardianship of the treasury have shown them selves men of incorruptible purity. There is not a blot or blemish upon the skirts of Franklin Pierce or any member of his cabinet in tin's re spect. Their reputations all stand unassailed and unassailable. Newark Eagle. A VobuxTEEit Balloonist. Professor Elliott advertised to make a balloon ascension at Rich mond on Thursday afternoon. After the balloon was inflated, a man named Carrier -requested the Professor to allow him to ascend the length of a'fcord attached to the balloon, to which he at length consented, and Carrier ascended some fifteen or twenty feet. To the surprise of every body he then drew a knife and cut one of the cords and immediately severed the other, and rapidly rose, waving his hat, amid the hisses and shouts ot the crowd, .hduott was so much excited that he swooned away. When or how Carrier will come down is beyond any power to say. More fears are entertained for the safety of the balloon than the ' JEronaut. We gather the above from the , Richmond' correspondence a :zzzxzzn- The survey of the Atlantic and Xorth Caro lina Rail Road, we learn from the Goldsboro' Telegraph, is progressing finely.

Peize Fight. There was a brutal affair called a prize fight, between Tom liver and an Irishman named McGowan, near St. Louis, on yesterday week. The Democrat minutely describes the rounds, G4 iu all, and concludes thus: "64 Tom got two random shots on the mouth, and in endeavoring to rally pnt in a foul blow. A claim of foul was immediately made by Mac's friends Tom's yielded. The umpires deciding that Mac was eutitled to the wager of $3,000. This was urobablv one of the finest exhibi tions of fistiami that ever took place in the United States or Canada. Roth parties exhi bited the highest game qualities." McGowan is an Irishman, employed on the Pacific Railroad- Bishop Hughes Matrimony, &c. A pas toral letter irom , liisnop ungues was reau in the several Catholic Churches at New York last Sundav, in which he says that "henceforth the bans of matrimony are to be published in the usual form, previous to the celebration of marriage." The time and conditions of the grand jubilee are made known. Time from November 1854 to 1st February 1855. Con ditions, the giving of alms to the poor; fast on any, Friday . during the jnbilee, and prayer, lie also anuonnCes that the project of building the new St. Patrick's Cathedral is postponed, through motives of expediency, for a year or two. In the meantime two new churches are to be constructed. Year of Calamity.

The year past will be Signal in history for its disasters. Drought, in the best agricultural districts. Ctitt- ing off millions of produce. Fires in cities and forests; mountains in a blaze. Cholera invad ing from the sea coast to the interior. Yellow fever raging as never before. Disaster by rail roads, and greater ones by river and by sea. Sailing vessels lost; steamers, hnge and stauuch ; foundering mid-ocean, or in temntinff view of J shore; or burning in hopeless distance of rescue j Thousands of lives lost; moaninsr and wailincr fill all the lands. Such events show us that God does not need wars foes of steel and iron. seried ranks of invading hosts and armed fleets, like those that distress the other hemisphere, in order to reduce the proud to humility, or make His sovereignty known."

Xo further par ticulars given. Reiorts have again been circulated simultan eously in Vienna, Paris, and London of tlie fall LolSebastopol, and large stock operations were mude oithe fith of the statement. The public seem, to discredit the rumor. ;JIf general tenor of the war news is indefinite. I he ji 1 1 tes tnllyrexiwvtwatnreuSeUaKtopol in a few days, though JNlensehikofTs reinforce ments nonplussed them. Miscellaneous. The anxiety about the re sult of the attack on t Sevastopol in England and France is intense. Efforts are making to establish Polaud as an independent nation. Tlie Hungarians are anxious for a revolution. Prussia and Austria are coming on amicable terms with the allies. Advices from Spain represent the insurrec tionary moveiA'iits as subsiding. The country is comparatively tranquil. The Journal of St. Petersburgh, of tlie 14th, contains a telegraph despatch from Vienna stat ing that the commissioners of the western powers, and of Austria and Turkey, had met at Con stantinople to arrange tlie question of protec torate on the basis of the proposal made by the Austrian cabinet. The British Parliament was prorogued on the 16th of November. The British steamers Ganges and Persian, with troops on board, came in violent collision in the sea of Marmora, and were badlv daiuas; ed, and an oQicer crushed to death. The latest Intelligence. Vienna, Oct. 21. A private despatch from Bucharest, dated October lGth, announces that the bombardment of Sebastopol commenced on the loth, with two hundred pieces of heavy artillery. Sebastopol was not expected to hold out more than three or four days. The German press everywhere gives indica tions of an approaching rupture between Aus- tria and Berlin. Prtissia. Great anxiety exists at Franklin PieWe and the Coalition. The doctrines and the successes-of the pres ent combination of isms do not excite much joy in any quarter. The New York Herald is one of the few who sec any cause for congratulation iu present political prospects. This was to be expected. The Herald, like many others, is rejoicing over the victories of a coalition of in tolerance and abolition, it is in a good degree rejoicing over its own professions. It only sees uiai uiese victories may prove to oe an annoy- ance to President Pierce. It is blind to all other anticipations save that which may prove calamitous to the general administration. The spectacle of corrupt and riotous fanaticism, so alarming to all true friends of the Union, and the fearful fact of the people of the Southern States arousinsr and armiusr themselves for a war of sections, receives little of the attention of the Herald, excites no interest iu its bosom, so long as there is a chance of heaping difii- culties upon President Pierce. We almost thank that journal, however, for this frank disclosure pf its policv. It gives us an opportunity to speak that we have earnestly desired. President Pierce and his administra tion will meet any new crisis without flinching which present affairs may precipitate upon the country. Happy for the country will it prove that at a period in our history more pregnant of evil than any other which it has seen in fifty years, Franklin Pierce is at the helm. Faction and fauaticism may rule the hour in certain States, but while we have him for Chief Magis trate they will toil in vain to accomplish their hellish purposes. Even those who have aided to build up the coalition of intolerance and of proscription will at last thank him for his manly resistance of their doctrines. There is not an intelligent man in either the North or the South who will not admit that the aspects of the fu ture forbode great perils to our beloved country. Never before has abolitionism assumed a bolder or more treasonable tone. Never have revolt ing and revolutionary doctrines been more arrogantly defended, and never have the notori ous enemies of the constitution been more con fident of success. In such an exigency as this, how long would that barrier against tyranny resist the encroachments of abolitionism, if snch a man as Franklin Pierce were not President of the United States? Take any one of the favorites of the new coalition over which the Herald rejoices, and put him into that high office, and the demands of that monstrous or ganization would be consummated. The fla- trrant avowal that no- more States shall be ad mitted into the Union with slavery te -ognised in their constitutions, solemnly made by the whig party of fifteen or sixteen Statts of this Union, and claimed to be sustained by recent results, would be carried into effect if there were not such men as Franklin Pierce to say "thus far shalt thou go, an-d no further here shall th7 proud wave be stayed. The moment this monstrous proposition is carried into effect the worst fears of the patriot will be realized. Washington Union. The U. S. "Minister; at the '.Hague. Mr Belmont, our minister at the Hague, has ad dressed a letter to the Union, denying the charges brought against him by certain news nnner v.rrsnondents.

From 'The Old JS'oHh state in i77(i,"Ay Caruthers. Towards the close of the vear list), probably in the month of December, William Cutnmings, John Faddis and William Crabtree, citizens of Hillsborough, went oitt one morniug before day on a fox hunt, and to avoid as niueh as possible the danger of falling into the hands of enemies, they went into a section, six or eight miles east or northeast from the village, where the people were nearly all in favor of indepen dence; for, at that time, when tlie Tories were nearly everywhere so impudent and so confident of suecess, sueh a small party could not go into any otlier-lhan a whig neighborhood with- out running a great risk of being killed or taken pi toners, uuie after sunrise, heutg very cold and huujrrv." thev concluded thev would call at the house pf Thomas Conch, to warm tUsjnselves and get something to cat! As Couch was wcirtrrtltratiiteil -'4frhewy.al&wttfeal a. good friend to hi country, he received them kindly and treated them as well as he could. Having attended to their horses and given di rections for breakfast, he asked them to walk with him to his hog-pen, a hundred or a hundred and fifty steps from the luouse, and see his hogs that he had put np fattening for his winter's meat. Faddis and Crabtree accepted the in vitation; but Cnmmings thought he would be more comfortable by the fire; and, as the female part of the family were out in the kitchen pre- j paring breakfast, he was left for the time being, to amuse himself with his own meditations on the forthcoming breakfast or anything else he chose. There was a man living in the neighborhood, two or three miles off, by the name of Jake liracken, who was a zealous royalist, and was always ready to -improve any opportunity that . occurred for aiding the cause of his master. He had come over that morning either incidentally or on an errand, or, more probably, had been sneaking about to see what discoveries he could nrake. They were all of them well and inti mately acquainted with Bracken, or had been before such an animosity existed between the royalists and the friends of liberty. Though unobserved himself, and perhaps had studious'y kept himself out of view, he had been where he saw the fox hunters when they arrived, and could also perceive how many went to the-hogpen, and how many remained. Determined to improve the opportunity of doing something that would recommend him to the royal favor, he entered the house very slily, and stepping up softly to Cumniings, who was sitting with his back towards the door and his face to the fire apparently absorbed in his own sage rcilce tions and not dreaming of any danger, laid his7 hand on his shoulder, and saying as lie did so, "you are my prisoner, sir, and you must come along with me forthwith." Cumniings, who was a man of a ready turn and a very jocose dispo sition, looiYed up at him, not at all disconcerted," and said to him . with a pleasant laugh, "why Jillvir, Jtm m-nr. lv jUutj(f .1 U utit had 0l breakfast yet, and I cannot go without that !'f There was no time to be lost, and he replied! with an air of positiveness which left no room to doubt. No, William, you know me well enough not to indulge any such thought. I am not joking but in good, solid earnest, and you must come along at once, without a moment's" delay or hesitation." "Very well," said Cum mings, "if I must "go, let us be off;" and, so. say ing, he arose briskly to his feet and started along with him or' close behind; but recollect ing at the lucky nVonieiit, that when he went . into the house, he had hung his hunting horn to a nail outside of the doorpost, ami as he stepped over the threshold, he jerked that down, and putting it to. his mouth, gave it a few blasts, toote, facte, tootk, which roused up the hounds, from their slumbers in the corners of the fence, and in a minute, or less, they all came yelping around him, as much as to .say "We are at your service, sir, and would be glad to have an opportunity of doing some thing right clever before we go home." The men at the hog-pen, concluded from the sound of the horn, so earnest and qniefcry repeated,-" that there must be something in the wind, ami they came with all possible expedition; but when the dogs came up, expressing such hearty good will to do the bidding of their master, Jake, found hiuvself iu rather a "bad box," and took "to his scrapers," down the lane. He had not gone many rods, however, when Cumniings gave the hounds the signal, and the whole pack iftcr bmr, opemng altogether as if they were witnin a lew jumps ot a run down lox, and stimulated to the utmost of their speed by the well-known voice of their master. Mr Cum niings always loved to tell this anecdots, especial ly when in company with his friends, or when he got in the spirit of talking with one about r revolutionary times, and he would generally add, that it was the finest race lie ever saw, un til Jake had to take a tree at the end of tlicr lane, where the dogs kept him as safe as a coon, until the men came up. He was then taken ; prisoner, earrieMo Hillsborough, and lodged ift -jail. Without adopting the old Latin maxim,, that "fortune favors the brave," we may say that a kind Providence favors the good, op those who are heartily engaged in a good cause, and tin important lesson may be read all through the history of the revolutionary wr, in characters too legible to be mistaken, and in the minutest as well as in the most important events. Cost of Public Worship. It is estimated that the current expenses of the churches of Bos. ton will amouut to 240,000 a year. The valise of the church estates is about 4,000,000. Tfc expenses of the different societies vary front $1,500 to $5,500 a year. The cost of public worship in the churches occupied by the wealth icr portion of the citizens will average about $100 a Sunday. The clergyman has a salary of $3,000, the music costs about $1,000 ami the miscellaneous expenses will be from $1,04X) to $1,500 a year. Dr. Hush says that tlie exercise of the organs of tlie breast by singing, contributes to defend them very much from those diseases to which the climate ambother causes expose them. The Germans are seldom afflicted with consumption, and spitting of blood is almost unknown among them a fact attributed by Dr. Rush, in part, to the strength which their lungs acquire by exercising them so frequently in vocal music, which constitutes an esseutial branch of their education, from their earliest Years. fP I
