The Know Nothings have carried out this policy here, (not even sparing the seavongers,) and everywhere they have obtained power. From Canada to the Pacific ceean, wherever they hays been able to make removals, they have refused to spare any man holding political sentiments opposed such circamatances, understand the politic! nececsity resting on the present Administra- tion todeal with them as they deal with others It is due to the Administration that we should call public attention to the fact that they re- frained from removing Government officials Order,” until it became appareht that it was iotlexibly determined, when in power, to spare bo opponent under any circumstances vhat- ever. We feel very sure thatibe removal of Mr. Wilson was made with great reluctance, in having joined ao political organization whose of every man who fails to 2,7 Pethize with it plain that his political opponents deal with him as the political organization of which he isa member invariably deals with all others Personally, Mr. W. has always been oppozed to removals from the service of the @ ment on political grounds. But by joining a Enow Nothing lodgs he gives up his individu ality altogether, pledging himself to labor to sirengthea the policy on which * the order’ has determined; ‘o vote for its candidates nomi tocarry out that policy, &. Our talented, gentle, and truthful neighbor intimates that the country holds no one elze competent properly to discharge the du ties of the position. We are free to confess that we do not believe that any one can bet- ter discharge them; yet there are a great many capital business men in the land, and excellent land lawyers to boot. No removal will be sufiicient to make men of common sense despair of the republic in these time: Why, there are from fifty to one hundred metobers of Kuow Nothing lodges in this coty who proposed the:nselves to the pressnt ad- ministration for cflicee of equal trust and re- sponsibility, and equally difficult to be prop- erly filled. Two years ago, when they were whising and biustering by turns for piace around the portals of the Executive mansion and the Departments, any one of them on be- ing toid that he was not quite as com setent a8 John Wiieon, Eaq., to fill the Commissioner- ship cf the ¢ al Land Office, would have received the initiation as a personal inzult We mentioa fact only by way of showing up the bypocrisy of their present joremiads over the alleged injury to the public service done by the removal of Mir. W. We would repeat: Noone oar regret more tian curself that Mr. W. has brought himself within the tule of doing unto Know Ncthings as they in- variably do unto others, by which the admin- istration feels called on, under existing cir. cumstances, to act.

THE RECENT SUCCESSES. 1 order to form acorrect notion of the op- n of the allies on the 7th of June, zgainst the Russian works at Sebastopol, itis desira ble to refer tothe description of these works Every one is aware thatthe ground before Be- bastopol is intersected by ravines cesconding to the sea; theso ravines being divided from each other by ridges, upon which both the Rassiau works and the principal batteries of the besieging armies are erected. ‘The ravine ferthevt to the northeast, end op he extreme right of the allied px sition, in trout of what is now called the [nkermana at- tac, is that descending to the Careening Har- bor. It was atone time intended by the ale lief lo take possession of the whole of the north ridge down to the Cereening Harbor, but the siang crossed the ravine with great deter estatlighed two works on the lower slope ot it—one st 800 yards and the other at 400 yards from the second paraliel these redoubts have probably ere this fal- jen into the han is of the allies, for Pelissier’s despatch of June 9 says, “The enemy have completely abandoned the right shore of the Carocning Lay.’ Thisis an important posi- Hea, commanding the ships in port, and al- tivet intercepting the entrance to the town ibe next ridge is that on which the Malakoff!

From the tower to the Careening Bay there runs & long line of parapet, broken at half way by a battery of 16 guns on two faces, and thus Banking the curtain: between this point and the tower. Another battery of 12 guns on the bill above Careening Bay, is connected with this work by afurther parapet, which extends tothesea We apprehend that the works teken on the 7th June are outside this line.

At about 15 minutes ,. -sonsed day morning, our citizeus were a... _ their clunbers by an apparent explosion anu tambling noise, which was by some supposed to be an explosion of a powder mill or maga- sine, and by others to have been the effect of an earthquake. Anxious enquiry was made in all diree:iuns in the morning, but it was *oon from 2 Liborty road, known as Jamieson’s, and those of Messrs Beatty, on the Susquehanna Kail- road, were all in good order, and that the shaking of the earth proceeded from an explo- stracted by human agency. tbat Jamicson’s milis on the Liberty road are owned by Meesrs William Mason & Sons, and that they are not mangfacturing now At York, Pa, we learn from passengers who came down yesterday the shock was truly startling, rousing the whole population, and creating such ap excitement that but fow were willing to retire again for the night. The sbock and rumbling nvise that followod it windows, is said to have iasted fall 20 seconds a York. In all sections of the city the sensation was and we bave met with but few who wore not aroured from their sleep by tho concussion and unearthly noise that followed the shock, from twelve to twenty soconds, The night Was excessively warm, aad the atmosphere taick and fany persons were still about the is, while others were sitti ucable to sleep. E27 these aud ibe wa the shock was believed at once to be th earthqnzke, as it seemed ty heve a strong: and deeper hold on the eart) then ould have been produced ‘from the ex: i powder Place the shock is represented to have been very severe, instantly rou: tho soundest eleepers, and apparently jarris.g the houses to thsir very foundations. Un Feil’s Poict the vibration was also very sharp, and in some in- stances the psople ran into the streets in their nigat clothing, whilst glasses are said to havo been broken in some of the wicdors. But we have heard from every part of the city, end it was Cistictly felt in all direotiune, cansing more cc lesa alarm. We have heard of anum- ber of ladies having fainted from the effects of the shock. whilet sume of the negroes thought the world was coming to an end One oid black worman ig said to have rushed down irs, erying out, ‘Matsa! mussa! jadgment day hus come, and Dinah’s not ready.” We Ioana that persons on boats and steam- era coming up the bey and river felt the shock very distinctly, and that the surrounding water was rot only groatly agitated, but that the fish even jumped up in the water, appa- rently fri¢htened out of their element. The plaster on the ceilings cf some dwell- ings in Watson street, between High and Ex eter streets, was almost entirely knocked off by the concussion. The ehock was very severe on Feil’s Point and created a good deal of alarm emong the inkebitante. At the corner of Alice Anna 2nd Ann stréeis the Louses seomed to be moving to the noridward, the motion being undu luting, like that of @ vessel in a saa way. The windows in the houses ware ehaken, and many of the people ieft their premises fearful thut it would be followed by another and more ee vere convulsion At the corner of Exeter and Grauby streets it is said @ bedstead was moved several inches from its position. On Fairmount ijl the shock was also asn- sibly feit, and sors 60 in the neighbourhood of Madison square, where the people were muob alarmed At Mount Washington, a few miles from the city, the shook was like (he explo:ion of heavy aramiment, followed by a rumbling as of dis- tantthunder. Theimpression at first was that the powder mill in that vicinity had exploded. At the residence of Mr RR: Griffith, near Woodbury, the whole filly woro aroused, but it was suppored to be an explosien, and attracted po further notise. ‘Lhe operatives at Washington factory were, however, gener- ally aroused and mueh alarmed. A Tamor was ourrent through the city yes- terday afternoon that @ house had been thrown down in the western section of the city, but such was not the caso, nor was the shosk suffie cient for anything of thekind. We learn from a gontleman residing on the Hillen zoed, about six miles from the city, that theshock wasfett there with great sever- ity, bringing everybody out, the impression prevailing that there had been an awfal ex- plosion of some descrip:ion in theci'y, many persons saddling their horses and co: to town to learn the extent of the supposed eatas- traphe. Tne Aputteny Case.—The conviction and heavy ponalties imposed upon Dr. Grant, J.
