It is thougnt, we may add, that the vacancy will hardly be filled before the spring, aud that tho position will then be tendered to him. This idea arises only from the really peculiar fitness of the Major for such a position: calmness, forethought, and integrity of purpose being, in truth, the dis- tinguishing traits of his character. There will, however, be a great rush for the place, our readers may rely on it. Fifty gentlemen, who have spent their property in politics, or wasted the usual opportunities for obtaining property in ordinary business by foolishly devoting the prime of their lives to politics, will be very certain to aim to go out as Gover nor of Nebraska, for the chances of specula- tion new supposed to be connected with such an office.

The different branches of its work haviay up to date, by the end of scar, tue auditor managed to re- duce his clerival force in the number of eleven clerks, all of whom were, by degrees, trans ferred to other offices and bureaus. ‘The re- duced number are at present sufficient for the prompt transaction of all business before the bureau, and will, probably, continue to be, unless the office shall again undertake the set- tlement of balances due soldiers in the war of 1812, an interminable job requiring extensive researciies in every case presonied, it matters not how insignificant the amount claimed may be.

The political cauldron of the whole country is now boiling and bubbling at a great rate. Frem the bubbles that remain on the top of the pot long enough to be noted, we take the following : ‘The last number of the Richmond Enquirer i: quite severe upon our friend, the Rey. F. S.

The sentiment of State sovereignty and the pride of personal independence are equally outraged by the attempt thus to sub- jugate us.” The Grand Division of the Sons of Temper- anve for Western New York have come out with resolutions endursing the Whig candi- dates, Myron H. Clark and H. J. Raymond. ‘Lhe Whigs of Richmond county, N York, have repudiated the nomination of Harvey Vial for Congress, from the District compris. iug Suffolk, Queens, Richmond, and Kings counties. The raral Know Nothings, in convention at Utica, have repudiated the ticket nominated by the gathering, lately held in New York city, and adopted the following : For Governor, Myron H Clark. For Lieut-Governor, Elijah Ford. For Canal Commissioner, Henry Fitshugh. For States Prison Lnspector, Norwood Bowne. _ There is trouble roperted in the K.N. cam: in New York. On Saturday night the Ninth Ward Council kicked at the K. im city ticket, on the ground that the whole thing had been selected from the K. N. Kxecutive Committee.

Com- missioner McLean had arrived from Shanghai at Hong Kong It was understood that he would return there shortly with Sir John Bow- Ting to settle the duty question, and would attempt to trade up the Yang-tse-Kiang. The news of the insurgents in the North is very scanty, and the impression was that they were mee‘ing with reverses. and were on the retreat. The latest Pekin Gazette, dated June 28, contains-nothing interesting. All was quiet at Ningpo, to August 4. At Foochow much activity was going on in the shipment of teas; a fire had destroyed 1,000 houses. On the 18th, all was quiet a: Amoy, and a fair trade goingon. There was nochange in po- litical matters at Namoa to the 8th of August, the insurgents being still around the city. Commodore Perry was to return home next month (September ) The American ship Lady Pierce arrived at Hong Kong after visit- ing Jeddo and Simodi. at which place she met with a favorable reception. The U. S. ship Supply was at Canton. The British Admiral Stirling remained at Shanghai awaiting the arrival of the French Admiral Laguerre, in the French frigate Jeanne of Arc.. On his ar rival the united French and English fleet were to proceed to Sitka to attack the Russian ships ey forts there. LONDON. The deaths from cholera in London during last week only amounted to 249.

THF PACIFIC’Ss NEWS. Yesterday, we announeed the arrival, of the steamer Pacific, with four days later newsfrom Europe, since which we have received papers containing full details of the news, from which we extractithe following : THE WAR—SEVASTOPOL NOT TAKEN. The news from the Crimea is—nothing! A maltitade of private letters, telegraphic dis- patches, and revivals of oJd news, is found in the English and Continental papers. but none of these state that Sevastopol is teken, nor that the allies have made much progress to- wards taking it. Lord Raglan’s latest dispatches say that he exparted “open fire’’ a few days, and Private letters add that an attack on the.out- works was fixed for the 9th inst. Menschikoff kept the field, to the northward of Sevastopol. Tho position of the allies was strong and eas- ily defensible against an attack from the land- ward. The allied extreme right leans on the slope of the mountains east of Balaklava, which run down like immense walls to Aloush- ta. The body of the right wing isat Kamara, and outposts are posted on the Black river. The centre occupies the roads leading from Kadikoi to Sevastopol, and from Bakshiserai to Balakiaya. The body of the left wing is at Karani; the outposts at Khutor. The allies siege artillery, with 60,000 gabions, facines and piles, have been disembarked, and have mostly reached the camp. Menschikoff has 100 field guns with his army On the 4th, a cannonade took place between some English steamers and the quarantine fort at Odessa— nothing resulted. Kussia continues to amass troops on the Austrian frontier, but has scarce- ly a regiment on the Prussian. Theinference is plain—the Czar at length distrusts Austria, and has an arrangement with Prussia. Con- firmatory of this supposition, rumor at Vienna says that a seoret treaty actually does exist between Russia and Prussia with respect to the Turkish war, in which treaty Russia strictly lays down the limits which Prussia may make a sham alliance with the German powers, In the crowd of so-called “dispatches,” the following are the only ones that indicate any progress in the operations : Vienna, Oct. 16, Evening. Lord Raglan has written to Omer Pacha that the regular siege of Sevastopol would begin on the 5th instant, and he thought the fortress would be taken in ten days Vienna, Oct. 17. It is reported from Constantinople 5th, that the Russians, 20,000 strong, unde- Menechi- koff, have been again beaten; and that the soutbern heights (of Sevastopol) are taken. The surrender of the city is looked for be- tween the 13th and 16th instant, Against these set the following received from Berlin: Sr, Pererssure, Oct. 15. Nothing of importence had been usdertaken against Sevastopol to $th October, being last advices. The Russians acem fully determined to de- fend the Crimea, even should Sevastopol fall As a proof of the importance attached to the defence, itis currently given out in Russia that the Grand Duke Constantine will himself take commard of the southern army. The question is discussed with much earnestness, as to the possibility of reinforcements reaching Menschikoff, so as to enable him to assume the offensive in the field against the Allies and compel them to raise the seige. The Russians bave already 30,000 men entrenched at Bak- shiserai as a nucleus for the expetted rein- forcements, and the army of the Crimea will be, by the middle of October, in a position to operate with 60,000 men in the field in aid of the besieged garrison which numbers 36,000— the total Russian force being thus 90,00) men. To meet this force the Allies have, at the present moment, at sea and on shore, an equal number—that is to say, 90,000 men, and they are continually bringing up reinforcemen‘s, having, of course, the free command of the sea. Hight thousand additional Turks are under orders to embark from Varna, and the Egyptian extra contingent of 7,000 will pro ceeed from Alexandria to the Crimea. The Russians will thus be outnumbered; and asthe Allies have siege artillery—for which 800,000 shot and shell are already landed—and al! arms of warfare. there is every probability that Sebastopol will fall; and. perbaps, speedi ly. Butit by no means follows that its fa!l will end the war. ‘Turkey is well nigh ex Usirormity or Reuicious BrLier.—The census in Scotland has lately been taken, from which it appears that country is the most thoroughly compact body of Presbyterians in the world. The approximation to religious unanimity is greater in Scotland than in any other country. On the morning of the census, Sunday, there were in all 943,951 rsons at church.

There can now be little doubt that the Baltic fleets will return home, without attempting any further operations. All the smaller Eng lish steamers have already left, and the whole of the French fleet is on its way to France. — The English sailing fleet, under Admiral Plumridge, was inKiel bay.

There is every certainty that immediate steps will be taken for putting an end to the indirect traffic with Russia carried on through Prussian ports. POLAND. There are various indications, little in them- selves, but amounting to something in the ug- gregate, that the Courts of France and Eng- land have actually under consideration the practicability of re-establishing the Kingdom of Poland as an independent power.
