Pernya@i, The Eastern War.-wWe hive awaited the arrival of details of the ramored late remark- able successes Sf the allies with more curios- ity than confidence in the truth of the “first guns,” concerning them, sent home from the English and French armies. Onr infidelity arose from the fact that, in every instance since their landing in the Crimea their first accounts of each succeeding exploit of theirs has proved laughably far from the truth. The mails which bring Russian accounts of thesame affairs (including those of the Asia and Atiel, reaching our shores subsequently.) explain that these vaunted achievements ambunt, in reality, to just nothing at all in the way of tho con. summation of the reduction of Sebastopol or crippling the powez of Russia for effective ds- fence. In these first accounts great parade is made about the movement on the Tohernaya, ® point which could have been quite as easily c»pquered at any hour since the siege com- menced, and of 60 little importance in the movements on the chessboard of battles that Russia had no fortifications there. It seems to be the opinion of military men here, that th® movement in question was the regult only ot the beginning of the want of water around Sebastopol. In July and August there will be such a want of water felt in the besieging camps of the allies, ag that there will be immi nent danger that their armies will die of thirst and the pestilenoes incident to being compelled to go without water, or to drink from the cess- poots“into which all the filth, carcases, and every concievably nauseous thing about the camps and entrerchmonts have long been soak- ing. “The Eoglich and French papers are also making great parade over the capture of two Russian outposts, that cost the French alone, more than three thousand effective men killed and placed hors du combat, Now, one of theas works was erected by the Russians only three weeks before; and the other, only two months before. They were not defences of Sebastopol, but Russian works of assaults against the camps and entrench- ments of the uliies. Indeed, the Asia’s mail brought official intelligence from the English war office that the idea of holding thein and attempting to use them against the Russian defences of the city, was not dreamed of, as they (these outworks) were merely available against the allies, being subject to be destroyed at will by the city’s defences. So these achievements bring them no nearer the reduc tion of the city than they were months ago. So, too, with reference to their enterprise against the sea of Azof. They (ihe allies) have been able to go there at any time siaco the Ist of September last, as the Russians have wholly refrained from fortifyirg the ap proaches to it, as its occupation by the allies is of not the least consequence in the campaign Its cecupation will havo no more effect in the matter of stopping the supplies of the Bussians in Sebastopol, than the occupation of Boston bay and harbor by an invading army, would have in bringing abeut the stoppage of sup- plics to an American army defending Pitts- burg—not a whit more The burning of six millions of rations of the Russians which were an transitu for the Emperor's troops employed in Asie, wil! not in the least cffeot Russia; in- somuch as owing to the blockade of hor ports the granaries of the empire are groaning with corn and all other descriptions of Produce, rotting for want of consumers. England and France, aro, even in time of psace, purchasers rather than exporters of graing and otber pro- Visions, in quantities. During thie war their troops, more especially those uf England, have been kept half starved nearly all the time The allies were sadly in want of the provisions thus wantonly destroyed, suffisient to provisicn some fifteen thousand men for a whole year, Thus, they and they only, are to be the losers by this almost unaccountable act of feily on their part. The act reminds us of the conduct of an Liish mob on the temporary suspension of the Bank of England, who, to be revenged on the institution, collected all of its note: they could lay their hands on, and burned them. The truth is, all these splurges—for they amount to little more—are mere efforts to satisiy public opinion at home, long more than satiated with such glory as haa resulted, and profit as may be likely to result fromthe Crimeaa campaigns.

SPIRIT OF THE MOZNING PRESS The Intelligencer earnestly, and, we think, Justly, depiecates sectional political conven, tions. The Union grows eloquent in commenting on the criticisms of the Philadelphia North American upon the recent removals in this city, on account of Know Nothingism, of which it says: “The organization tc which the dismissed officers were attached {3 not an o-gan zation sone in the spirit of jastice, christianity, or la Itis besed upon practical hostility to all these conservative principles.

Yulee arrived in Wash. ington yesterday Voting at the Fourth Ward Polls. —It will be recollected that, some time since, we had occasion to publish & letter written on the 3d of June, 1850, by the Attorney of the Corpora- tion of Washington, giving bis opinion as to who had a right to vote, ia accordance with which, all who were naturalised citizens on offering their votes, who had the other requi- site of a yoar’s rovidence in Wasking- ton, (whieh was but according them their rights, as has since beer dovided by the Cir- cuit Court,) were entitled to vote here. Sub- sequently, there has been sent to us a letter, purporting to have been written Ly the Cor. oration Attorney, affirming the right of par- doned convicts having the requisite qualifi- cations, to vote im our municipal elections. It is as follows: Lo the Commissioners of the Seventh Ward: Gustiemen: The charter of the city pro- hibits from the eleetive franchise all persons who shall have been convicted of an infamous crime. You ask what is the effect of a pardon in such cases? I answer, the general principle of the com- mos law, to which I know no exception, is, that a pardon, after convietion and sentence, restores the party to all his rights and priv. llega. herever this is not the case it must be by the force of some restraining statute. There is none ot which I am aware touching this particular disability ; and my opinion is, that aftor of eqn such a person is, in this city, restored to his right to vote, if he has the other requisite quslifications. Respectfully, Jos H. Brapuey, Attorney, &o. June 4 1855. This letter is worthy of note, only from the fact that it embraces nothing whatever con cerning the rights of those wh> were noto- tiously defrauded out of their rights of citi- zensbip as always previously accorded in this city, and as sffirmed by our highest judicial authority on the morning of the election, which decision, jadgment, or opinion—eall it what you may—was known to nearly every man and boy at all the precincts of the city within cn hour after the action of the court, above referred to. It does not appear from the letter above printed that the Corporation atiorney waz usked for an opinion by the Commissioners of election upon the point on which more or leas of them undertook to ad- minister the law by a new reading of It, #0 a3 to disfranchise and thus defraad some han ied | dreds of their honest and reputable fellow. citizens, The penitentiary birds, : > ~ver, were brought im, fegally, we doubt not, under this decisivn, and we will agree to show & black swan for every voter of thatolass who atten dod uciamy —The Houso cf J, as we learn from Harte ced on in its part four Judges for the Court, as fellows:—Loren P.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND Gossip, cs polls, who failed to vote the straight-out Know Nothing ticket. - We may not forget to add that the above letter from the corporation attorney is sent to Us a8 a copy of the one received by the com- missioners at the Fourth Wards polls on the morning of the election, before it was finally determined by the three Know Nothing com- missioners there not even to receive and lay aside to be subsequently canvassed, the votes df at loast one hundred citizens legally enti tled to the suffrage, who attended at and around the polling window for the Fourth Ward, in the vain hope of getting their right; many of them going away in disgust without reaching the window, on seeing how those offering such votes as theirs were treated by parties both in and outside of the voting place. Nineveh.—As we dive deeper and deeper in- to the resords of this ancient oity, more won- ders are constantly bcing revealed. Secrecy in the politics of its inhabitants was a prime ebject sought to be attained, and they accor dingly did their best to “cover up their tracks,” & figure of speech not known in the year 1854 A. C., it having originated from a habit of the aborigines of our own lend, a much more modern people. They (the good folks ef Nin- eveh) little thought that in some twenty-seven hundred and nine years afterwards, spiritual- ism would devise a plan by which the political treasures of their times would be made known to the generation then living. Judging from signs found amid tho ruins of that an- cient city, we are eatisfied that the Mr. Jno. R Elvans whose name was found in the list of its inhabitants published on Monday last, did not long walk its streets, finding very shortly after ho entered its gates, that participation in politics on any side was not particularly suited to a quiet business man. We have also sxtisfied ourself that the Mr. Thomas N. Brashears, whose name was in the list published yesterday, gave Nineveh the slip immediately after he had seen the winged beasts, the cut of whose snouts by no means suited his artistic tasto at first sight. According to the records of that ancient city he sojourved in it only one a single night, and then shak- ing its dust off his feet, became its mortal foe. The following is a list of a few more of the dwellers in the ancient city of Nineveh, A. C. 1854.

Probably a“ Mistake” Maliciously Made.— A telegraphic correspondent of the New York Herald writes to that journal under date of June 25, saying : “ T was informed by one of the order in standing, that at a meeting of the stcckhold- ers of the American Organ it was de.ermined to dispense with the services of Mr. Vespasian Ellis. One of the editors was discharged on Saturday. The Heraid’s article accomplished the business,’’ We have no confidence in the truth of the Prineipal point in this news. Mr. Ellis is really an invalid, aod too great a sufferer to permit him to discharge the arduous duties of the editor of a daily paper in these days, It is well known that he asked for the leave of absence accorded to hira to recruit his health, and that his return to the post is expected on his recovery. There is nota man among the ebarebolders of the epeculation who is more southernish on the slavery question than Mr E., while more or less of them sympathise, rather, in the views of Wilson, Colby, Hale, Colfax, & Co. So the whole etory about his discharge is evidently @ roorback. The assistant editor, or, rather, the city re porter, whose services were dispensed with on Saturday last by the proprietors of our ta!- ented, courteous, gentle, and truthful neigh- bor, was discovered never to have been inside a Know Nothing lodge in Washington. As they will give employment to none outside of “the order,’ he was accordingly sent off with a flea in his ear. Apropos: That sort of work is hardly eon- sistent with our meighbor’s recent jeremaids over the faet, that the Union office reaently diepensed with the services of some boys at $3 or $4 per week each, bocause our ingenuous and veracious neighbor a they avowed “Amerioan sentiments.” The truth is, it was determined to employ young women at $5 or $6 per week hereafter, to lay on the sheets in the Union office, instead of boys at $3 or $4 per week. Hence the discharge of these lads, which our silly neighbor endeavors to turn to Political account, in the face of its own avow ed proscription of every person in its business who fails to be a Know Nothing. 4 Marize Corps Appointment and Dismis- #al.—Second Lieutenant Freeman Norvell, United States Marine Corps, (formerly of Miche igan,) having been dismissed from tio service in accordance with the sentence of a court martial at the Brooklyn navy yard, W.
