Though ther is no of ficial infoa mation on the subject, theallied generals, for obvious reasons, being silent as their future operations, there are various pre monitions of a vigorous campaign in the open field. l'liuce G of tschakori; on the 23d ult., re ported thai 20,000 men had been lauded at Kupatcria, and that on the 2Gth tbis force as increased to 53,000 men. lie' has since repo: ted that 'imposing masses" of the allied troops continue to threaten the left w:ng of tlie liussiin army from the valley ;of I5a.id.ar, whilst amorce amounting i to between 30,000 and 40,000 men threa ten the tioht wing of the Russians lrtm Kupa'oiia.

Another stgnificaut fact is that the English himl lian-poit corps' are in full activity; that the field batteries of the . ar tillery are in marching order; that large niimbeis of.lhe French cavalry have em- , Larked for Eupa!o'.ia,and by the telegraph ic accounts f;oin Vienna, it is stated that secret expedition. '.. The Tiuies ci'ircspondenf, writing on the 21:, is not at a!l sanguine that the Russians will be forced to abandon their position on the approach of Winter. The 'correspondent of the Daily News takes a different view, lie says : 'The believe gains ground that the Rus sians are preparing to evacuate the north side of the harbor of Sevastopol. The ex tensive earth-works which have been lately constructed, and others in course of con- s'.ruetion, are regarded as simply intended to cover their retreat aud protect tho rr.ir guard of the Russian1 anny.

Seeing Cap tain Ciaalock; of the 90th',' near him, busy in ercouraging his men,aud exerting him self with great courage and energy to get them in older, he said, 'I must go to the General for supports. Now, mind, let it be known, in case I am killed, why I weut away." ' lie re is an account from one of the offi cers: "Captain Chippendale stood, for a lung time, amidst a shower of musket balls and giape,on the first parapet of the Redan,wa ving his cap cn the top of his sword to en courage the men to coin on. Nothing could exceed his gallantry.. It is a nitride that he escaped. At last he was pushed from the parapet into fheditch, aud fell among the heaps of dead and dying. The following is from the Liverpool tv 1 bia. tli. jl jnl.Llfjaf Inn tn Tn I ahim After speaking oFlne success oil the Freuch attack,the editor says : 'Compare this gallant effort with our im perfect preparations ladders too short to scale the ditch; the trenches five times the distance fiom the point of assault as com paied with those of the French; the tren ches themselves too confined and narrow for the the troops in reserve;, the smallness in'mimber of the assaulting party; the fa tal delay in strengthening; the assaulting party by reinforcement", and the confusion fu lue irencnes penuing me assault these and otlier produced our failure as . iV. i 1 3" .1 . . naturally as effect follows cause." .

AN EVIL THAT CAN BE REMOVED We desire to call the- attention of the Grand Jury for this County, at our ensuing Superior Court, to. the obstruction of the public highway, by tho North Carolina Railroad, at the Station near this place. The old'road has been changed by a deep cut across it, and a pass-.way mada to wind aroundnhe Station house and thence a cross tho Rail Road, just at tho landing. The consequence is, that persons travelling the public Road are not only often vexa tiously delayed, but are in constant dan ger of being killed by the cars, running and backing about tho Station. It was only last week, two very'nirrow escapes were made. Let the Railroad Company build a bridge across the track, at r near the old road, or let the Solicitor indict its . .i v - i e. Officers a S nuance. u mere oe law ior it, let us have one or the other. A bridge would cost only some two hundred dollars, fin TrraTCTTfwnv--iw-ju- i, I.,. : would soon build the bridge. l . A. CITIZEN. ' October 26, 18o5. " ' ' Who Causes Riots at Our Elections- The Dublin Evening Mail of the 13th ult., contains the following description o the election' scenes in Caven county, Ire land, which go far tuward shoning what outrages nnd excesses the Irish are capa ble of committing in their own land. If the Irish resort to the bludgeon, and roast their, opponents over a slow .fire uut.il their ribs cau be seen, in their own counrty, can we uot reasonably expect to see tbem at tempt to indulge iu similar outrages when they coma to America ? Mob violence and intimidation were the arguments used at election at Cavan, and mob violence and shot guns were tlie arguments nsed upon the Americans nt the elections at Louis ville. . TheJMail's description of the conduct of the Irish electors at Cavan, shows very plainly what we may expect of the Irish man when he becomes a citizen heie. If tho Irish are permitted, in this country to exercise a controlling influence at Our elec tioLS, we may look for the day to arrive very soon when Americans will likwise have flesh roasted off their ribstbr refusing to vote for a Tippery favorite. "A body of upwards of two thousand men marched into the town brandishing fo; inidable sticks in a truly independent man ner, and shouted for tenant right and Hu ghes. Other large bodies followed in quick succession, and the approach to the Court -house was , soon blocked up, the aspect of affairs, which had previously worn a rath er quiet appearance, becoming very visibly altered. A line was formed of fellows brandishing their sticks,through which vo ters going to the court-house were obliged to pass. The position of the soldiers and police were some what altered in order to keep this mob back. Af.er a while they began to sieze voters and drag them into Mr. Hughes' committee rooms. . u A party of armed men went, between nine and ten o'clock on Tuesday night to the house of an elector at Ballinagb, for purpose of making him promise to vote for Mr. Hughes. He refused to do so, and then they demanded that, he should swear not to vote for Mr. Burrowes: and, on his refusing, this alt-o, tluy threw him across ths fire and 1 held him there until the flesh was barned off his ribs. u They put hm on bis knees, and tried to compel him to swear that he would not vote for Mr. Burrowes ; but he resolutely re refused to do so. They then draecred him back into CoWfo th'c6nrt-bov!ao in tbJ roughest manner, and kicking him and . knocked owt one of his teeth. They de triued a tally ticket for him in the liberal committe room : he refused to take it into his hnd, and it was thrust into his breast. He was then brought into the booth, but he objected to vote on tie ground that ha he had been kept under constraint, after sitting sometime in the court house,he was enabled , w ith ihe aid of a gentleman na med Gaffney, to Teturn to his home.' Now, let it be borne in mind that these outlaws arc the electors of Ireland, and claimed as the respectable, responsible and intelligent portion of tho population. If those classes prostitute the ballot box, and bid defiance to all law and order.what may we expect,we repeat,from the less intelli gent and more reckles wdio flock to our shores bv thousands.
