In our last Saturday's igsne we published a telegraphic dispatch conveying the startling intelligence of the taking of Sebastopol by the allied forces. The news was brought by the steamers Washington and America. Below we give further details of the affair: The bombardment was re-opened on the fifth and continued withont interruption nntil the eighth when the assault commenced. The French attacked th4Malakoff and the Careening Bay, and the English the Iiednn. On the 8th September, the allied forces at tacked the defences of Sebastopol, and the Frenchicceedcd in gaining possession of the MalakoTF. The English who attempted the Iiednn were not successful. During the night the Russians in the exacerbation of despair be gan to sink their ships, blow up their maga zines and burn their city, and on the following morning Sebastopol was evacuated, and the communication betweeu the north ports and the town broken off. Six repulses were sustained by the French before the Malakoff, but on the seventh attempt they carried the work in splendid style, and hoisted their eagles on the Malakoff. The slaughter was terrific, and is estimated at 2,000 English, 15,000 French, and as manv Russians, making the aggregate upwards of thirty thousand men. Five French Generals are reported to have been killed, including General Bosquet. During the night succeeding the assault the Russians evacuated the entire south side, first blowing up the defences, sitikii-fr all the ships, firing the town, and leaving nothing but smoul dering rnins. A large allied force was marching along the coast to interrupt the retreat of the Russians inland. The allies found immense materials of war in Sebastopol It is reported that instructions have been sent to the allied Generals in the event of Gortscha kofT seeking to capitulate, to demand that Rus sia shall surrender at discretion all the troops, stores and fortified places, including Odessa. Official Telegraphic Dispatch. The following j telegraphic dispatch received bv Lord Pan-! mure, from General Simpson, appeared in the ! j-iJiriiMi journals oi uie Htli ult: beuastopol is in the possession of the Allies, llie eucmy during the night and morning eva- cuated the south side, after exploding the maga- zinc ana setting fire to the whole of the town. All the men-of-war were bnrut during the night with the exception of three steamers which were plying about the harbor. The bridire coiumunicatiug with the north side is broken. Gen. Simpson reports that the casualties in the attempt on the Redan are somewhat heavv, but there was no general officer killed. The Euglish loss in the assault on the Redan is estimated at 2000 killed and wounded. French Government Account. In a supple ment of the Moniteur, the following telegraphic dispatch by the French Government from Gen. PcIIissier, appears: Karabelnaia and the South part of Sebasto pol no longer exists. The eveuing preceding our solid occupation of the MalakoU", the Russians decided upon evacuating the place, after having destroved and blown up by mines, nearly all the defences. Having passed the night in the midst of my troops, I cau assure you that everything in the Karabelnaia is blown up, and from what I could see, me same must be the case in front, of nut. oi -mack. mis immense success does the greatest honor to our troops. Everything is quiet on the Tchernaya. The Assault on the Malaloff. The assault on the Malakoff was made at noon on the 8th nit. Its redoubt and the Redan of the Ca reening Bay were carried by storm by the French soldiers, with admirable intrepidity to the shouts of A ive I'Empereur. The Redan of Careening Bay was not tenable, owing to the heavy fire of artillery which was poured upon the first occupiers of that work. On beholdin" the French eagles floating on the Malakoff, uen. de Tubes made two nU.irfcs n tl nnroi IT.. . r i i .... . . u""u,l Ullt am: not succeed. The French troops returned to their trenches. The losses were serious. The. Russian Account. The following dis patch is from Prince Got tschakoEF, and is dated the night of the 9th: ''The garrison of Sebastopol, after sustaining an infernal fire, repulsed six assaults, but could not drive the enemy from the Malakoff Tower. Our brave troops, who resisted to the last ex tremity, are now crossing over to the northern part of Sebastopol. The enemy found nothing in the southern part but blood-stained ruins. On the 9th of September the passage to the northern side was accomplished with the loss of 100 men We left, I regret to say, 500 men previously wounded on the southern side." Flan of the Battle. The plan of the battle appears to have been as follows: The place was attacked in four directions. The British troops attempted the storming of the Redan. The French attacked the Mala koff, the extreme right of the French made a diversion on the little Redan, and a united at tack of the English, French and Sardinians were made on the Central Battery. All the at tacks were made simultaneously with great spirit and energy, but the one which was emi nently successful was led by Gen. Bosquet and Geu. McMahon on the Malakoff. Both the Redan and the Central Bastion were at times in the hands of the storming parties, but so ac curately did the guns of the Russians cover these, that as soon as the English had gained possession of them, it was found impossible to hold them. The French eagles once floating over the Malakoff, the vietory was half gained, and the bombardment was continued with increased im petuosity and fierceness. Having now the southern part of the town within range of our mortars, an "infernal fire," as Prince Gortscha- Koll cans it, was opened on the doomed city, the effect of which was that in a short time the whole place was in flames, and, owing to the Russians exploding their mines, literally reduced to ashes. Attemeptd Assassination of Louis Napo leon On the night of the 8th of September, while the Emperor of the French was at the door of the Theatre Italien, at the moment the carriage containing the Goddess of Honor of the Empress stopped at the entrance of the Theatre, an individual who was standing on the trvtlois discharged, without taking aim, two pocket pistols at the carriage. No one was struck. The man who had more the appearance or a maniac than an assassin, was immediately arrested. The name of the individual arrested is Bellemare. He is about 22 years of age and was born at Rouen. When 16 yea re of age he was sentenced to two years imprisonment for swindling. The Paris correspondent of the Times, writes: "With reference to the would-be assassin Bellemare, it-was mentioned yesterday that he effected no concealment as- to his criminal pro jects. He declared himself as the sole contriver . of the act, and denied that he had any accom plices. ' '-' 2 From the Elizabeth City Pioneer. Practical Know -Not bingfem. Here is the manner in which the "American Council , Xo. 30, for the county of Hertford," has disposed of a gentleman who exercised the right of a freeman by repudiating all connex ion with the know-nothing party: Resolved, unanimously by this Council, That the said Alfred W. Darden be, and is hereby expelled from this order as a man entirely un worthy the confidence of the American party. The preamble applies the term "false" to his doings at least three times in the brief space of two lines ! Mr Darden is known as a prominent member of the Baptist denomination, and, so far as we are advised, has always borne an irreproach able character as a gentleman and Christian. Yet we cannot but think that much good will come of this open publication of denuncia tion. Other men, who have not been caught in the meshes of know-nothingisni, will save their feelings from outrage by avoiding all con nection with such an association. Let them go on and publish, and the people will have sense and discretion enough to shun the veiled Prophet for the future. What are the Sound Dues? As these dues may possibly give rise to a serious dispute between the United .States and Denmark, it will be interesting to know what they are. The "Sound' is a narrow strait lying between the Island of Zetland, belonging to the Danes, and the Swedish coast, and gives entrance to the Baltic sea. The fortress of Cronbnrg Castle commands the passage, and extracts a payment from all vessels entering the Baltic; the ships of Denmark herself have to pay, as well as foreign tonnage. The origin of" this exaction is, that in ancient times Denmark undertook to build and sustain certain light houses along the coast, for which the Hanse towns agreed to pay toll. England, France, Holland utid Sweden pay a duty of one percent, on every cargo etiteriii" iho ... V . the """ wincr countries lnciun nr me United States, pay one and a quarter per cent.; even Danish ships are taxed to this rate. In the year .1826, a treaty recognizing this duty was concluded between the United' States and Denmark. This treaty, however, according to one oi its simulations, m.ir ) i;kk-1voiI l.v i either of the parties, provided they give one I year's notice of their intention - . ' j j j During the Presidency of John Tyler our uovernmeiit determined to put a forcible end to the imposition. Mr Upshur, then Secretary of State, fitted out a fleet of merchantmen and vessels of war, under Commodore Stewart, which he designed should force its way into the Baltic, and thus at once rid the United States of the Sonnd duties. Mr Upshur's sudden death, however, by the explosion of a cannon just as the fleet was ready to start, delayed the expedition, and it was finally aban doned. Other attempts were made to abolish this tax. While Denmark was at war with Sehleswig-Holstein, Mr Flenniken, the United States Minister, offered on the part of his government to pay Denmark $250,000 for a ten years suspension of the dues; his death prevented the proposal coming to a head Finally, on the 12th of April last, the United States notified the Danish Government of their intention to cease paying the Sound duties, and the stipulation of the treaty will accord ingly expire next spring. Should amicable ar rangement of the question be arrived at in the meanwhile, we may then exneet to spp our j vessels passing the Sound under warlike convoy. A serious conflict will then most probably arise. The Danes are much alarmed upon this subject, and fear the United States will seize upon their West India possessions, the Islands of St. Thomas and St. Croix. The Fall of Seijastopol Great I'ejoicins. At New York the announcement of the fall of Sebastopol threw the city into a state of tremendous excitement on Thursdav. The jriiisn consul lioisted his national colors, and ine iri-coior noated in the breeze from all th ; r rencn snipping m port. The English and r rencn residents were in ecstasies, ann oro talking of having a grand celebration in honor ot the event. At I hdadelphia and Boston the excitement was equally as great. A despatch from Buffalo says me people in all the towns in this vlrlnU. .c ccieoraung me receipts of the steamer's news witn much enthusiasm. At loronto bonfires were lighted, guns fired rockets set off, and the greatest excitement ex isieu. "A Qtrar..l 41.- . me court oi assizes was in session when the news wat; received.

I think it very doubtful whether the French would be able to hold this for any length of time if they could get possession of it, from the fact that the lulls on the north side are taller than those on the south, and the city and the bat teries on them, I think, would force them to leave it. In the main, they have been at tern i mis mis irom uie lana on tne south side. J will finish this by saying that it is the best for tified place I ever saw. There is not a hill or a mound where a cannon could be placed with advantage but you find them." Important Verdict. We have already (says the Washington Union,) briefly alluded to the trial of Hertz and Perkins for enlisting men in tin's country for the foreign military service in the Crimea, which has occupied the time of the united states district court at Philadelphia for a number of days past. It will be seen from the subjoined despatch from Philadelphia, which we received yesterday, that one of the parties (Hertz) has been found guilty on all the bills: Philadelphia, Sept. 21, 1855. The several indictments against Hertz for recruiting troops for the British service in the United States were given this morning to the jury, who, after being out fifteen minutes, re turned a verdict ofgnilty against Hertz on all the bills. .'HE NORTH CAROLINIAN, FAYETTEVILLE, N. Fire in Salisbury. Our citizens were aroused from their slumbers betweeu 1 and 2 o'clock on Friday morning last, by the cry of Fire! The first building on the great East square, near the Courthouse, the pro perty ol Mr .Joseph h . Luambers, proved to be the scene of conflagration. It was occupied by lr. iMiward bill, the front as au Apothecary store, and the rear, as a family dwelling. The building, with almost its entire contents, comprising a large stock of Drugs and shop turniture, were quickly, consumed. It was a wooden building, old enough to be most thoroughly seasoned, and large enough to make a terrific flame. The fire extended East, consuming the Post Office building and the house formerly occupied by Mr Bencini, as a grog-shop, when it encountered Mr John I" Shaver's new fire-proof store, occupied by Messrs. Kennady & Mills. Here its fury was stayed thanks to Mr Shaver for his fore-sight and liberal enterprise. But for this building every house on that street must have been destroyed. Judge Caldwell's law office, on the south street, and a kitchen and smoke-house, attached to the house occupied by Dr. Sill, complete the list of buildings destroyed. We learn that Dr. Sill has an insurance on his stock of Medicines, Arc, of $5,000, which, it is estimated, will cover about one-half his actual loss. Also, that Mr J. F. Chambers, has an insurance of $2,000 on his buildings. In the destruction of the Post Office, very little loss was sustained bej'ond the buildiug itself All the mail matter was saved. The destruction of Dr. Sill's Drug Store is a serious public loss, particularly at present, there being an unusual amount of sickness throughout the whole surrounding country, and the community entirely dependent on In in for medicines. Judge Caldwell's law library was saved. Falisbu ry Watchman. Axothei: California. We learn from au thority in which implicit reliance may be re posed, that the Territory acquired by the United States under the Gadsden Treaty with Mexico, is rich in mineral wealth, containing both gold and silver in great abundance. There has been a great diversity of opinion on this subject in our community. Many persons who claim familiarity with the snliject have boldly proclaimed the Territory absolutely valueless for any purpose of civilization; while a few have irresolutely maintained the opposite opin ion. We believe there need no longer be doubt on the subject, and that another Califor nia waits the pick and shovel of the hardy mi ner within the Territory of tl;c United States, promising a bountiful reward for the enter prise and labor which shall unearth its treas ures. JV. Y. Times. The President and his Cabinet. A para graph of the well written communication in our last number, alluded to the President and his Cabinet in terms of reproach which we should not have tolerated, had it not escaped our at tention until we saw it in print. We certainly have no disposition to join in the abuse so shamefully prevalent in the public prints, of a President and Cabinet who we believe are as honest, as pure-minded, and as patriotic, as any we have had, for many years past. If it is any comfort to them, they are not worse vili fied than were Ge neral Jackson and his Cabi net, concerning whom the verdict of posterity is and will be in direct antagonism to that of their defamers. A". 1". Journal of Commerce. Condition of the Fkee Blacks at the North Of all the papers in the world, we should have expected the New York Tribune to be the last to represent the true condition of the free blacks of the North. And vet, even that vio lent Abolition sheet, in its "issue of Saturdav last, thus portrays the character of this class of the Northern community: "Nine tenths of the free blacks have no idea of setting themselves to work except as the hirelings and servitors of white men; no idea of building a church, or accomplishing any other serious enterprise excent through beg gary of the whites. As a class, the blacks are indolent, improvir, t servile and licentious; and their inveterate habit of appealing to white benevolence or compassion, whenever they realize a want or encounter a difficulty, is eminently baneful and enervating. If they could never more obtain a dollar until they shall have earned it, many of them would suffer, and some perhaps starve; but on the whole, incy would do better and improve faster than may now be reasonably expected." Suicide in the Bridal Chamber. Miss Clara Huskius was found dead in her bridal dress and chamber near Natchez, Mississippi, on the 2d ult. After being dressed by her bridesmaids she requested them to retire for a short time, and when they returned they found her lying lifeless upon her couch, with an emp ty phial which had contained prusic acid still clasped in her hand. She had adopted the des perate alternative of self-destruction rather than marry a man she conld not love in obedi ence to parental authority. Sivr.ui.Ait Cause of Death. Mr Joseph Carr, a well-known restauratcr of Boston, came to his death from a singnlar cause on Wednesday. The Times says that sonic six weeks since Mr Carr complained that a corn upon one of his leet gave him great pain. Upon making known nis complaint, a gentleman recommended Mr C. to put a clam-skin upon the corn, which he said was a sure cure. Mr C. followed t.ho direction, since which the pain spread entirely over nis uouy, and it is thought by his friends i i , . . . . . . . to have been the cause of his death. 1hy will be done. The late Mr Kilbin of Exeter, writes: "I knew a case in which the minister praying over a child apparently dvin.r saia, -ii it ue thy will, spare .'

Some thirty years since, at one of the Phila delphia Theatres, a pegeant was in rehearsal, in w hich it was necessary to have an . elephant. No elephant was to be had. The "wild beasts" were all travelling, and the property man, stage director and managers, almost had fits when they thought of it. Days passed in the hopeless task of trying to secure one; but at last Yankee ingenuity triumphed, as indeed it always does, and an elephant was made to order, of wood, skins, paint and varnish. Thus far the matter was all very well; but as yet, they had.fonnd no means to make said combi nation travel. Here again the genius of the managers, the stage director and property man stuck out, and two "brothers" were duly en stalled as legs. Ned C , one of the true and genuine 'b'ho3"s,' held the responsible sta tion of fore legs, and for several nights he play ed that heavy part to the entire satisfaction of the managers and the delight of the audience. The part, however, was a very tedious one, as the elephant was obliged to be on the stage for about an hour, and, Ned was rather too fond of the bottle to remain so long without 'wetting his whistle,' so he set his wits to work to find a way to carry a wee drop with him. The eyes of the elephant being made of two porter bot tles, with the neck in, Ned conceived the bril liant idea of filling them with good stuff. This he fully carried out; aad elated with success, he willingly undertook to play fore legs again. Night came on the theatre was densely crowded with the denizens of the Quaker cit The music was played in the sweetest strains the curtain rose and the play began. Ned and 'hind legs' marched upon the s:agc. The ele phant was greeted with round upon round of upplause. The decorations and the trappings were gorgerons. Ihe elephant and the prince seated upon his back were lomjly cheered. Ihe play proceeded; the elephant was marched round and round upon the stage. The fore legs got dry, withdrew one of the corks, and treated the hind legs, and then drank the health of the au dience in a bumper of genuine elephant eve whiskey, a brand, by the way, till then unknown. On went the play and on went Ned drinking. The conclusion inarch was to be made the sig nal was given, and the fore legs staggered to wards the front of the stage. The conductor pulled the ears of the elephant to the right the fore legs staggered to the left. The" foot lights obstructed the way, and he raised his foot and stepped plumb into the orchestra! Down went the fore legs on the leader's fiddle over of course, turned the elephant, sending the prince and hind legs into the middle of the pit. The manager stood horror struck the prince and the hind legs lay confounded, the boxes in convulsions, the actors choking with laughter, and poor Ned, casting one look, a strange blend ing of drunkeness, grief and laughter at the scene, fled hastily out of the theatre closely fol lowed by the leader with the wreck of his" fid dle, performing various cut and thrust motions in the air. The curtain dropped and a scene behind the scenes. No more pageant no more fore legs but everybody held their sides Mu sic, actors, pit, boxes and gallery, rushed from the theatre, shrieking between every breath "Have you seen the Elephant?'' The Telescope Irs Range. It is a well known and often proved fact, that light travels two hundred thousand miles per second; and electricity speeds over copper wire at the rate of two hundred and eighty eight thousand miles in the same time. The mammoth telescope of Lord Rossc is capable of penetrating so far into space that it would require two hundred and fifty million -ears for light to traverse the im mense interval between us and the remotest point brought to our view by that giant reflector. Inference 1. Swing it upon its pivot to a section diametrically opposite, and an equal degree of remoteness is reached on the other side of our stand-point. Direct it towards various other quarters, and the extremities of these long radii, if joined together, would form quite a capacious sphere. Inference 2. The light daily arriving at the speculum of the telescope and revealing the existence of those distant tracts of visible mat ter, proves that they must have existed at least two huudred and fifty million years. Jnterence o. lheir very existence, now de monsiraicu dv ocular evidence, shows the vast durability of light, and.rhat the creation nms have commenced considerably more than six thousand years ago-. jnieience 4.

A curious correspondent of the New York Mirror furnishes the follow- i 11 (r -"lO' "It has been investigated that out of 281 wars the present excepted which have been waged in Christendom since the Christian era, 15 mainly resulted from the desfre of territory,' 22 from the desire of plunder, 24 from revenge! 8 to settle questions of honor. 6 from disnnted' claims, 41 from disputed titles, 30 from the pre- irncu ui assisting aiucs, 2.5 irom jealousy of rival greatness, 5 from commercial difficulties, 53 from civil animosity, and 28 from relio-ions bigotry.

On Wednesday night last, says the Richmond Dispatch of Saturdav, a most daring attempt was made to murder and rob Mr Wm. Timber lake, of Henrico, while lying asleep in his bed. Mr T. had been on a collecting tour the day before, and reaching his grocery, on the Darby town road, about nine miles from Richmond, in the afternoon, concluded to keep the money collected with him till morning. That night a fellow called Nat Darby, requested to be allowed to remain all night; and the two retired at the usual hour. Mr Timberlake was sound asleep and during the night was aroused, and found his feet tied. He attempted to get up,! which alarmed Darby, who was then securing i the money, and who instantly drew his knife and stabbed Mr T. severely. Mr T. then seized him and gave the alarm, which soon brought several servants ami other persons in the neighborhood to his assistance, but they did not get there until he had received eight severe stabs. Darby was instantly secured and placed in jaii, uiiere ne is to undergo an examination for felony. JKTIRN" OF ! LGITIVK felAVES. A few daVS im t-u 1 una nay M.nes were arrested near Morgan town, Va.
