'Without expestinj at nofl to overthrow the settled property which sham Democracy has In the governments of the Southern States, the progress of the first campaign of the American Union party (at -the "American Organ" ob serTes.) is more encouraging than the first efforts of re volution usually are. To hare sustained itself in an experimental effort against organi zation and slander is a triumph. The popular majorities of the Democratic party have been reduced in all the Southern States in which e lections have been held, and, although the de vice of Gerrymandering has been carried to a perfection unknown elsewhere, yet the Con gressional returns so far show an undoubted loss to the locofocos of nine members, as will appear from the following statement.

Waddell, Chatham. tSF Propositions are everywhere made for relief for the sufferers by the yellow fever at Portsmouth, &o. We have no doubt but that the generous and humane of this place will gladly contribute their offerings in such a case. The National Intelligencer says: "In Nor folk, Portsmouth, Gosport, and. Newtown the last-named two being precincts of Portsmouth uo business is in progress, and no produce is ar riving, upon which to subsist the many whose inability to leave or whose sense of duty detains tbem. There should be prompt aotion in this matter. The-yellow fever often lingers during the month of October, when once it obtains possession of a place. It will not be wise, therefore, to defer the action in hopes of its early departure. Should it soon leave, our of ferings may be the less needed, but we doubt that the thankfulness of the people of those cities will be any less than if oar aid were given in the midst of the direst and most protracted calamity. Certainly our consciousness of hav ing acted from generous and kindly motives will be none the less gratifying to ourselves." ' We publish, below, some extracts from an account in the "Memphis Eagle and Enqui rer" of a recent American Mass Meeting in LaGrange, Tenn. We do so for the reason that some of the gentlemen referred to in it were originally of this place, and it will be a source cf gratification to their numerous friends to hear of them, especially to hear that they are distin guishing themselves in the American cause. "Himrt J. Cannon, the President of the Meeting, read the American National Platform and urged its ratification and endorsement by the entire South, in an able and most appropriate address J. P. Pryor then put tbe question. and the ratification was carried by a tremen dous acclamation, only two or three lone John sonian Abolition-tendency Democrats voting against it. Gen. J. H. R. Taylor, of Mississippi, wa then introduced to tbe meeting by the rresi dent, and delivered a most eloquent and telling speech of an hour and a half. The General won many laurels on tbe, occasion. Gen. Tbomas Rivers, American candidate for Congress, being vociferously called on by tbe audience, arose and declined speaking on ac count of the absence of his competitor, Mr. Cut' nn. Tbe meeting was subsequently addressed by Messrs. Msby,Trezevant,Bankbead and Pryor. Col. Cannon is a leading Old Line Democrat of Fayette county, and is well known through out the country as occupying a prominent po sition in the foremost ranks of the truest friends of the South. He made an excellent and earn-est-souled epeech on the occasion, and we would that every "still doubting Democrat" in the South could have been there to hear him, as well as Gen. Taylo'r, of Miss., and Col. Treve sant, of this State, both of whom are of the same old political faith. Dr. Cannon, of Somerville, is also an Ameri can of the truest and noblest tvpe. During the present canvans he has been -one of the ablest and most eloquent writers on that side the side of the couNTsr that has yet appeared. The " Eagle and Enquirer " acknowledges its obligations to him and would be pleased to bear from him often hereafter, upon any and all of the current topics of the day. Such pens as his are ever in demand and should not be idle." Here is a positive gain to the new organixa- tion of about fifteen per cent, over the estab lished oligarchy which holds tbe State govern ments in perpetuity, aided by the coin and co horts of a spoils administration. Well done, A mericans of the South 1 "A little nioregrape' is only necessary to success. As with our an cestors, a raw militia has met the ridicule and fury of a vindictive government, and although not perhaps a match for the regular troops in money, armament, or discipline, the spirit which animates the American militia is indom i table, and will conquer or overthrow that op pression and unjust ascendency which has deliy ered the country over to sectional agitation, which has resisted every effort at pe ice and com promise which charges you with having com bined with the sectional enemies that have uni ted with the sham Democracy to assail you. Tbe Americans have Buffered much injury from the unwillingness of ancient Whigs to sur render, for a moment,' their organisation where- ever they had a local ascendency, and they have had to battle against a spirit of malignity and misrepresentation that has manifested itself in no other contest within our knowledge. It has been charged with having originated in the land of Van Buren and of Pierce. It has been charged with religious persecution ; with inhospitality to the alien. It has been denoun ced for affiliation with abolition, when the A- merican Union party has divided itself by ex cluding all abolitionism from its National Plat form. These have been a few of the. difficul ties which this new party has had to encoun ter. But the election of thirty members to the next Congress, pledged to the platform of sectional peace, will have an invaluable effect upon those elections which are yet to take place ; for, as suming that the vote of the Southern States to be heard from shall only give the American Order the opposition vote of the last Congress, there will be a compact Southern vote of be tween thirty and forty members. These are pure Americans, pledged to the faith of the Plat form, opposed to Nullification and Disunion, in favor of the Union and Peace ; in one word, true members of the Union American party. This compact and honest vote will be strengthened by those of the Order in the North who agree to maintain the settlement section of the Phila delphia Platform. We then congratulate tbe friends of Ameri can principles at the South, and the friends of the constitution and sectional harmony every where, upon the admirable results so far.- Let -them persevere ; let them remember that every vote gained is a stone in the col umn reared to the perpetuity of the Union ; that it will be a voice raised to protect the American citisen from the aggressive Intrusion of igno rant and vicious aliens that it will be a signif icant rebuke of that ambitious hierarchy, which, crushed by the ascendant authority of rival THE SLAVE QUESTION. We ootnmend to public attention tho follow ing calm statement oi the historical facts rela ting to this much agitated subject. It is from an oration delivered by the Hon. Theodore Fre- nngbuysen before the students nt Hutger s Col lege. It will be found to present, in a few clear, concise words, the origin of that clause in the federal compact which recognizes slave ry as a looal institution, and the duties of tbe several States with respect to it : - When the Constitution ot the United btates was under advisement, by the law of nations a slave escaping to a free country became free. lne elayebolaung btates were unwilling to torn a union upon the basis of that international law between independent States. They pro posed to the free States, if you wish to unite with us, and thus form one people in closer bonds than by the general law of nations, then this law of the fugitive slave must be so modi fied that we shall have the same right to reclaim in your State that we now have in any county in our own State. Our .forefathers agreed to this modification, and the.luirteen colonies unanimously adopted it, and thus left slavery a domestic institution in all the States where it 1 existed. This is the true political state of the qtestion, and therefore we cannot disturb it. As a great moral and social evil, it is open to free consid eration and -debate, as are all ether matters pertaining to moral duty. But politically we agreed tJ leave it where we found it, and that was with the slavehnlding States, with all . its responsibilities. The whole case is with them. It is a gravely momentous subject, encom passed by perplexing difficulties that call for deliberation, and candor, and good temper. And more than this : it invokes afresh the cherished and fraternal feelings that formed the American constitution, which has so long and so illustriously shown how much of human wisdom and forecast, and how much more of divine benignity, crowned this first great expe riment of a free and self governed people. May it be perpetual I May no ra6h hand mar its glory or dare disturb its foundations! Should not almost eighty years of prosperous freedom plead for our Union Should not the smiles of God's favor toward us for all that time hush the murmurs of discontent, and persuade us rather to patience and hope ? Let us wait foT the healings of time, and kindness, and the sure growth of batter feelings, that will follow tbe spread and power of the Gospel of peace. Let us, for the sake of human liberty, and man's -last hope, wait, and bear, and forbear, in the fear of God and a living prayer for His gui dance." FANATICISM RUN MAD. The tendency of the age and of parties appears to be to run into the wildest and most ridiculous extremes. Some men 6eem so constituted that they cannot dwell on a subject without carrying it beyond bounds, making it absurd and even monstrous. Seizing an idea, it revolves before their mental vision till every thing else is com pie tely shut out, and they are astonished that any body else can discover any thing beyond the boundary of their own vision. Upon bo subject has this proneness to extremes been ex hibited in a more disgusting light than that of slavery. Jot long ago that fanatic, Garrison, said that "if the Almighty tolerates slavery, then the Almighty is a very great scoundrel." Nobody but a lunatic would have given utterance to language so Diaspaemous, so shocking to eve ry well regulated mind, whatever his views upoa this or any other subject. We bad supposed that there was no other man in the country ca pable of using such language, but we are mis taken. There is a man in Missouri who. if he is reported correctly, has gone quite aa far on the other side. Tbe Rev. James Shannon, D. D., and the President of tbe Missouri Universi ty, said lately before the Pro Slavery Conven tion in that State: "Convince me that slavery is a moral wrong, and I pledge myself to preach inndeiity all tbe "rest ot my lite and to prove that God is an imposter." This is revolting and impious in 'the extreme ; no man with a properly balanced mind could possibly use it. flow this reverend Doctor of Divinity ever obtained the post of President of a State University is to us a mystery. The St. Louis Democrat, from which we take the above quotation, says be was ori ginally a Presbyterian clergyman from Ireland ; that, emigrating to Georgia, he became a Bap tist, then a Campbellite, then a Millerite, and now be has taken to the hustings to advocate slavery- Well may the South say, "Save us from such frionds 1" Such advocates injure the cause tbey undertake to aid. New Orleans Bulletin THE WAR IN THE CRIMEA. At the last accounts from the Crimea, the allies bad made ho further progress in the re duction of Sevastopol; and it'is doubtful wheth er they will be able to carry their point of cap turing the piaci before next spring, if then. So far as we can see, the fortifications are strong er now than they were when the allies first ap peared before the city. An English officer, whose letter has Leen published, thinks that there is a deficiency in generalship, and he des pairs of sucoess. But something must be done, and speedily, by the allies, to recover their for mer stand with the world. They must carry the place, if it be possible, at whatever sacri fice of life -or patch up a peace with Russia, as defeat before Sevastopol would greatly di minieh their, power and influence with Europe an powers; but they will probably persist in the effort to storm the city and it is not unlike ly that the next steamer from Europe will bring us intelligence of another attack having been made. If the war be continued for a few years more, we consider-it highly improbable that Austria and Prussia will be permitted to con tinue in their present neutral position. Aus tria is now accused by the French Government of having violated pledged faith, and we think it probable that the allies will insist upon her taking sides. If she should go against the al lies, the scene of war will be somewhat ehan ged, and hundreds of thousands of Frenchmen will be seen on their march to Austrian terri tories. With a competent leader, the scenes of former tiroes, when pfapoleon entered Vienna as a conqueror, way be renewed. It is no harm to wish for such a result, as it would af ford a chauce for the oppressed people of Aus tria, Hungary and Poland, to assert and recov er their rights, aud th people of Italy the opportunity to get rid of a despotism which has borne them to the ground. Then we may see the Pope shorn of bis temporal authority altogether, and confined to the exercise of his spiritual power as Bishop of Rome. Events are rapidly tending to that result; and it would be hazarding little to predict, that, within ten years from the present time, the Pope will be thus reduced, and the generalissimo of the Jc suite be oonipelled to decamp from Rome in which case, he wilt possibly favor tbe United States with his presence, to be received, it may be, as was the Pope's Nuncio, Bedini. But, these speculations aside, England and France stand pledged before the world to take Sevastopol, if it be practicable ; and a despe rate effort must be made. It will never do for two of the most powerful and warlike nations of Europe, aided by Turkey, to be set at defi ance by a fortified town, held by supposed semi barbarians. But, let what will be said or thought of the Russian soldiery, they fight with great skill and bravery, and have proved them selves to be a match for their adversaries. With the numerous and strong fortifications in their possession, their city cannot be assaulted and taken without an immense loss of life by the allies. The Russians may, possibly, be starved into submission, or the city be taken by stratagem; but if carried by assault, we shall not be surprised if it be at the cost of some thirty to forty thousand men to the allies. It is at this desperate cost that the despotisms of Europe play the game of war. Let us be thankful that we are removed from such scenes, and be careful to avoid all aota whiob mingle European with American policy. NEWS OF THE DAY. .it From the Lexington Flag, HON. R. C. PURYEAR.

The final returns at the office of the Secretary of State exhibit the vote as follows : 83,424 for Mr. Wise, 73,244 for Mr.Flournoy total 156,668 ; majority for Wise 10,180. Of the 134 counties in Virginia Mr. Flournoy, American, received majorities in 54; and Mr. Wise in 80. Considering that " Sam" is but one year old in Virginia, and that bis an tagonist was born under those renowned " Re solutions of '98," we submit that 73,244 votes and a majority infjly four counties of the State was doing very well for a beginning. Better luck next time. WcW According to the last accounts, the next steamer ought to bring us theiatelligence of the downfall of Sebaetopbl. Great preparations were making for a general and combined assault by sea and land, and tbe latter part of July was the time fixed upon by rumor for a magnificent fulfilment of " hope long deferred." Turks, English, French, and Sardinians, soldiers, sailors marines, infantry and artillery, are all to make a tremendous assault upon all sides of this great fortification, and down it is to go, North and South, East and West, without leaving a solitary fort to tell the tale. " Man never is but always to be blest." It will be time enough to believe that Sebastopol has fallen, when the fact is announced inofficial despatches from the allied head quarters. In the meantime, we may expect a stout defence from old Gortchakoff and Mcnchikoff, and, in the event of an assault, and attempt to mount the ramparts by scaling lad ders, there will be a General Knock-em off, who will perform prodigies.' Let us not as yet give ap Sebastopol, the great citadel of newspapers. &gfeM r. Dobbin , Secretary of the Navy, is said to be much improved in health since hie visit to the Virginia Springs. He is expected to retnrn to Washington in a few days. friends, but those very men in tbe late contest were tbe warmest friends and supporters of Col, Puryear, because tbey were well satisfied, that in that vote he was actuated by the purest mo tives, desiring be beet interests of his country, and because in giving that vote, under tbe pecu liar circumstances in which he was placed, he showed forth a degree of moral courage, that is seldom witnessed on the floor of Congress, the mora! courage to do what his conscience told him was right. And when political weather cocks, hereafter, are spreading their toils to see which way the popular breeze blows, let them remember how the people have rewarded a pure and honest man ; a man who was not afraid to do right and let them resolve to go and do likewise, resolve to have the independence to do what is right, with the assurance that an houest, intelligent and upright constituency will reward them. It is said that Congress has become very cor rupt; that Mammon, with his bags of gold, with' out reproach, stalks through the Capitol ; but we of the 6th Congressional District know that we are represented by a man who has been tried who, like Henry Clay, would rather be right would rather be governed by the dictacts of his conscience, than nil exalted stations.

A Ship Impeded bv Dead Locusts. At length the wind shifted to the south-east, and then south, with a suffocating heat, this being the sirocco of the Levant, and, blowing over tbe great Lybian and Numidian deserts, comes charged with hot and sulphurous vapors, caus ing a most disagreeable sensation of a stifling and oppressive kind. On the third day after this shift of wind, and when well up abreast of Sicily, but nearer to tbe African shore, we were surprised one morning at seeing all the headmost vessels of the fleet arrested in their course by some obstacle which im peded the progress ot each ship aa she came up with it, till the entire convoy formed an almost straight line. On looking over the ship's side, there was seen a thick mass of brown matter, which it was difficult to sail through with all canvass spread it appearing to be between tbe consistency of oil and tar, or melted butter and honey. Buokets full of it were drawn upon deck for inspection, bat all we could perceive was that it was some animal matter in a state of decay, and emitting a most disagreable odor. Sending tbe buckets deeper and deeper, however, by attaching weights to their bottom, so as to bring up some of the lower strata, we perceived tbe legs, wings, and half putrid bodies of brown locusts in a less advan ced stage of decomposition than the brown oily mass of tbe surtace ; and we conoluded, ot course, that the whole mass was composed of the same materials. Desirous of ascertaining the extent of the space occupied by it, I went to tbe tore topmast, cross-trees with a glass, and, sweeping the horizon ahead on each side of us, 1 perceived mat it extended as tar as tbe eye could reach, to the east, north, and sauth , which presented one solid and unbroken mass of smooth brown surface; while to the west the open sea presented the deep blue which dis tinguishes tbe waters ot the Mediterranean. The conclusion was, that some vast flights of lo custs, passing from Africa to Europe, had en countered a contrary wind in their passage, and had fallen exhausted into the sea, and were there gradually decaying in the state in whiob we lound them. Such flights of locusts have trom time to time been recorded in history, as marking the devastation everywhere oaused by their numbers. Voiney gives a striking descrip tion of their numbers and the devastation tbey committed in Syria and Palestine in 1541 ; but the most remarkable account on record in modern times is that oi a gentleman iu Poonah, who was witness to an immense army of locusts which ravaged tbe Slahratta county in India. The columns tbey composed is said to have extended five hundred miles in length ; and so compact was their body wheu on the wing, that, like an eclipse, they completely hid the sun, so that no shadow was cast by any object, and some lofty tombs at a short distance were rendered quite invisibly. What added to the horror of tbe scene was, that tbey were of the red species of locusts, so that, clustering upon the trees, after they bad stripped them of their foliage, they turned the verdant green into a sanguinary hue. We were heartily glad to get through this mass of animal putrefaction by a strong breeze from the west, to which every ship crowded all the sail she could spread ; and by daylight on the following morning we had the gratification ot being in the pure element of water.

From tbe com mencement of the epidemic to the present he has been untiring in his efforts, going to the very cen tre of the infected district, and wherever else duty called him. FROM PORTSMOUTH. From Po'tsmouth, we learn by letters received here last evening, that there was no perceptible abatement of the disease. MR. WISE AND THE POST MASTER GEN ERAL. By the following extract from Mr. Wise's letter explanatory of his letter to the New York Softs, it appears that he also complains of the management of tbe Post Office Department : Only, near OfiANCock, Va., July 30, 1855. My Dkar &ir : lours of the 24th instant. calling my attention to an editorial of the Rich uaond Examiner of that day, headed "The New York Herald and Ourselves again Governor Wise and tbe Van Bursa Democracy' was not received until yesterday. , It was mis sent to Old Point Comfort; sod I can't account for such negligence in the mails. Fortunately, this mor uing, for tbe first time since it was written, I saw my Utter in print, to which this editorial t-efers. I enclose it to you, an d ask for iu re publication in the Enquirer, in order that every iair-minded person may judge of the justice ot the ikxaminer to me. Arrab 1 now, be aisy, Mr. Wise, will jeT liuw can ye expect that a distributing clerk tresh from tbe turf, will know the difference be tween Only and Old Point ? Aoter, Organ. You can cure that Cold by the use of a single bot tle of Wis tar's wild Balsam. There is nothing like it for the relief of bronchial and throat dis- eassa.

Cotton Manufactory in thb South and West In another column will be found a let ter on this subject, from a Western correspon dent, who maintains that the materials (includ ing kd, rael, Sw.) of which cotton goods ate made, can be obtained and combined cheaper in bis district than anywhere else. This may be. Coals at $1 50 per ton, on a navigable stream,, close by the cotton fields, and in the centre ot tne American granary, cer tainly Hhonld attract a manufacturing popula tlon. In these times of intelligence and easy locomotion, workmen are very apt to carry their tools where they can be usea to the greatest ad vantage. Great Britain has, for many years, based her supremacy on her cheap supply of coals and iron As our West now produces these essential ele ments ot national wealth with greater cheapness, and perhaps in greater purity, and has, besides, fibrous materials and subsistence in unlimited abundance, and in close proximity to the coals and iron, it does not require tbe gift of prophecy to say that tbechief seats ot the cotton manu facture will, betore many years, be outside tbe limits of .hngland. The United States have now every possible facility for working up its great staple into its most remunerative forms. When this is done, we can make all our foreign exchanges without the aid ot tho Ualitorma mines. N. Y. Herald. The Trustees of the Bank of the United States will make their final dividend on the 28thof September, when the concern will oease in any shape to exist. It has taken fourteen years to wind up the.concern. Tbe assets real ized are insufficient to pay the creditors of tbe bank, so that the loss to the stockholders will be total, - Too Correct. The Nantucket Inquirer tellt the following anecdote illustrating the difficulty of speaking tbe English language correctly : A foreigner, some time since a resident here, remarked one day to a young lady, in speaking of the cold weather, that he was up-froze. She corrected him, saying that froze-un was more proper. Soon after, on the road to Stasconset, tbe carriage in whioh he was got upset. On his return he informed the same lady that he had been set-up. In some sections that expres sion would signify that he had imbibed liquor loo freely. i Peetty Good roB Barbarians Generous for a Foe. The Russians are not such barbarians but that they can show a great deal of the ameni ties of civilization when a proper subject calls for it. In speaking of Lord Raglan's death, one of the Russian writers says : "Lord Raglan was, on several occasions, dis tinguished by the late Emperor Nicholas, as also by the reigning Emperor. He will be personally regretted in Russia by all who had an opportunity ot knowing aud appreciating tbe nobleness ot bis sentiments and tne upright ness of bis character. As a tabject he perform ed his duty by obeying the command of his Sovereign, and as a soldier, by valiantly defen ding the honor of hit flag ; but even in the exe cution of his doty he preserved unblemished to his death bis own personal dignity and that of his oountry. "He has fallen, like to many others, a victim to this disastrous war. Honored be his memo ry, and respected be his grave, which will be as sacred on tne sou ot Bussnvas oo tnat ot Eng land, and, whilst pointing to it, no Russian will ret use to say, ouu viator, &erculm ctucet."
