EVENING STAR. _ WASHINGTON OITY: SATURDAY AFTERNOON Sept. 20. THE WEEELY 8sTAR. The number for this week contains its usually interesting variety of home and foreign intel- ligence, (including the Naval Retired List, from the official record,) together with choice relections of brief tales, anecdotes, ete. - Terms, $1.25 @ year, or three cents for a tingle number, in wrappers, for mailing. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Union illustrates the bigotry and in- tolerance of Know Nothingism by the contents of a recent Know Nothing publication, styled the “‘ American Almanac.”’ The Intelligencer is filled, for the most part, with commentaries on the fall of the south side of Sebastopol, from London letters and English newspapers, which, as 3 matter of course, dis- eus the subject ina way to create the im- pression that it practically finishes the whole contest. 3-— oe PERSONAL. +s» Hon. Thes. H. Bayly is now at Lynch- burg, Va., still —— greatly in health. It is considered certain that he will hardly be abic to participate in the opening of «+++ Gen. Wheat, the brigadier of Alvarez, who returned to the United States some weeks ago on business for the Alvarez wing of the exican revolutionists, has been stopping at the Kirkwood House, in this city, for a few days past. He is a aun of the Rev. ‘Mr. Wheat, formerly ef this city and Alexandria, and was born and reared in the District of Columbia. +++» The President of the United States re turned, last night, from his visit to the Penn- sylvania agricultural fair at Harrisburg. «--» Hon. D. E. Sickles, late Secretary of Legation at London, under Mr. Buchanan. the sesent Minister, in a letter to the New York Eeraid, says that Mr. Buchanan has long since ceased to regard himself as in any ible contingency a candidate for the Presidency. ++++ There will be four candidates for Goy- ernor at the ensuing election in Massachusetts. +++.Mr. John Burrows, of North Billerica, is 98 years old, and his wife —— 100. They have lived together 79 years hey are na- tives of Ireland, and reside with their son, Valentine Burrows, at North Billerica. It is doubtful whether there is another couple in Auwerica who have been married so long. -++sItis stated that the firet “Grand Pro- vineial Council’ of the Catholie Church for the Arch-Diocese of St. Louis will will be cel- ebrated in the Cathedral Church of St. Louis, commencing with the first Sunday in October and aaeieing with the nae J following. The Rev Archbishop Kenrick, Baltimore, will preside on that occasion. -++-Buffalo Chief, the head man of the Chip- pews nation, died lately in the Lake Superior region, at the advanced age of one hundred yenrs. ----An ordination, says the Catholic Mirror, was held by the Must Rev.

He confessed his guilt, but declared that he dees not know why he aid it. Under the suspicion that he might have been the instrument of older persons, his sentence has been deferred, in the hope that he may make disclosures. The Epidemic at Norfolk and Portsmouth. No boat baving arrived at Baltimore yester- day from Norfolk and Portsmouth, and the connection between the Hampton and James River boats having failed, we are without our usual advices from the yellow fever infected districts. 4 letter from Portsmouth, written on Wednes- day, speaks in the highest terms of those cities acd individuals who have contributed so generously for the relief of the sufferers by the seourge, and states that but for their exertions many would have starved, as nearly all were dependent upon the public store for their sub- sistenee. Such was the misery and destitution _. vf those who had encamped around the adja- cent country, that they were compelled to be furnished with provisions from the public store to prevent starvation. The writer of the letter dreads to think of the approaching win- tez—what misery and distress consequent upon the loss of time and money, occasioned by ceing from the epidemic, will be the portion of the poor! and appeals to the benevolent to come to their aid in preparing the destitute to withstand the winter’s blasts Upwards of eight hundred persons have died in Ports- mouth since the 8th of July, by which whole families have been entirely Swept off, while in others thero is left but one; and there is searce- ly a family belonging to the town but have to tmourn the lose of a member—father, mother, sister, brother, or child,—that the black pall of the dead will hang over the remaining citi- zens of the ill-fated cities for a long season. He informs us that there are about three hundred men now at work in the Navy Yard, bat supposes the number will be increased on the first of October, as the condition of many in the adjacent country is such that they will nodoubt risk the fever by returning to their homes. Persons at @ distance should be cautious in returning, and wait for two or three heavy frosts before venturing in the in- fected atmosphere. The letter mentions the efficient services ren- dered to the sick and suffering by Mr. Hartt, the naval constructor in the navy yard; praises of him being on the lips of every one who has witnessed bis efforts to meliorate the condition of bis suffering fellow-citizens. The reported death of Miss Sarah Catharine Manning, by yellow fever, at Portemouth, is incorrect, as we learn from the Petersburg Ex- press. Miss Manning is alive and well at Hampton, though sadly depressed in spirits. She has lost both father and mother by the epiden.ic, aud under circumstances peculiarly distressing. At the time they died, with the exception of an aged colored woman, Miss Manning was the only person on the premises, and unaided was compelled to perform the last sad_rites preparatory to sepulture, of both father-nad mother, she-ahroading and placing in their coffint-t® bodies ofboth. Truly, we ver beard of a more holy case is, : {Phe Telegraphic news, in another columr, -——“eorfirms the rumored abatement in the epi- demic, and ascribes the absence of new oases to the want of material for the seourge to feed The disease is very malignant—the mortality being alarming for the population of the infected districts } WASHINGTON NEWS AND GossiIP.

The War.—The excitement over the Cri- mean news by the Washington continues to- day. The moral effect of the fall of the South side of Sebastopol must for the time be- ing be immense; yet it is very questionable whether the Allies gain anything of impor- tance in establishing themselves in the ruins of the places blown up and reduced to ashes by the guns of the Russians, from the north side. At least, until Fort Constantine and the other north side defences are taken, their po sitions will be of little use to the Allies. They will afford them a lodgement probably, from which to invest the north side defences. If the latter are provisioned, and stored with such armaments as they should have it is, not im- probable that it will require another year to reduce them; though it may be that the great Superiority of the guns of the Allies will ena- ble them to blow them to pieces in a week. But, having taken Fort Constantine and its adjuncts, unless Perekop be taken, the Allies will have little more practical control of the Crimce ' =» hefore. We presume taut Alexander has not been idle during the late yeus of warning, in the matter of making Perekop as strong at least as Sebastopol was. Previous to the late action, the combined fleet could work their will in the Black sea and the sea of Azoff, and they can do no more now. The clite of the Russian troops were on their way to the Crimea, when that action occurred, and are probably now near at hand to support the garrison holding out on the north side of the devoted city. The Allies admit a loss of 30,000 men in the prolonged action. -If they lose as many in the assault on the remaining defences they will be in poor plight, indeed, to encounter in the field the fresh troops that Aloxander is sending against them. We do not see how it can be possible that Perekop can be taken in less than a year; when they will really have gained possession of the Crimea at a cost if taken at all, it seems to us, of quite as many men, and as much money as have been expended by them up to this time. In the meanwhile, there can be no more equality between the English and French in the conduct of the war; the great battle having been gained almost wholly by the lat- ter, the former being almost useless Allies to them, their inferiority becoming so marked hourly, as that it is the subject of the derision of the civilized world. The French, too, are now masters of Constantinople, to prevent which, as the result of Fronch alliance with Turkey, England went into the war. The prospect for a termination of the alliance thus rapidly increases, the chance being strongly in favor of a rupture between France and England within the year. We really do not Perceive that the Allies are at this moment any nearer their object, practically, than when they firet set down before Sebastopol. Nous verrons. We take from the New York Tribune, usu- ally well posted with reference to occurrences in the war, the following views of the proba- ble picture of the campaign, which it will be perceived are different from ours : ‘The Karabelnaya side being completely in the hands of the Allies, they are in a position to undertake operations in the field. Though they will not be able to establish many batter- ies or many troops in that suburb, on account of the fire from the northern shore of the har- bor, they have succeeded in reducing the Rus- sian portion of Sebastopol to less than one half its extent before the 8th inst. and to a fortress capable of holding but a limited num- ber of defenders Not only is the offensive power of the garrison completely crushed, but its defensive strength is greatly reduced. A far smaller number of men will suffice to carry on the seige, and the troops thus set free, with the re enforcements now on the road or at the camp of the Maslake, will be available for an expedition to Eupatoria. The more we examine the relative position of both Russians and Allies on the Tehernaya, the more evident it becomes that neither party can drive the other away hence without great superiority sod enormous sacrifices. The opinion in the allied camp would seem to be that from 60,000 to 70,000 men should be sent to Eupatoria, in order to march upon the communications of the Russians at Sympheropol. Suppose the Russians to have 200,000 men in the Crimea, (which they certainly have not) 80 000 men would be required for the defense of the North Ports, 60,000 for the Lage on the Tchernaya, = 60,000 to meet the allied army of Eupato “In the present spirit of the allied forces it is certain that with equal numbers and in an equally divided field they will beat the Russians; and as by taking up a position on the Russian line of communications they can force them to give battle, there does not seem to be any risk in such an undertaking. On the contrary, it is probable ‘that the Kussians would be able to oppose this expeditionary pa mie he a son ot the very outside. erecta etter for the Allies, and ir uf act vigorously they may expect great results. They now have both meal and Semicon’ su- periority, and we doubt not they will profit by t before another winter on the plateau has reduced their numbers and damped their — Indeed, the latest report is that, by the 13th, 25,000 men had already sailed for Eupatoria, and we shall doubtless hear of a still ater force following. “OF these important events we have as yet ouly the meagre information conveyed by tel- egraphic dispatches. When more complete details reach us we shall return to the subject again.’ The Bogus Whigs.—The following dispatch pithily illustrates the truth of what we said yesterday in explanation of the fact that the nominal ‘ Whig’’ State convention for New York, recently in session, was composed wholly of persons who were really identified with the new ‘‘ Republican” organization, and were aiming to use the prestige of the Whig name to etrengthen abolitionism: SYRACUSE CONVENTIONS—ADJOURNED. [Special Dispatch to the New York Tribune.} Syracuse, a 27.—The platform has gone through the Whig convention, and is under debate in the Republican. A prohibitory addition is offered, and a mo- tion to lay the same on the table was lost by 80 to 110. There is one change on the ticket. Mr. Burroughs declines as Canal Commissioner, and Daniel H. Bissell, of Livingston, is put on. There is now perfect union on the ticket. [Seeond Dispatch.} Ong o’cxock, P. m.—The Whig convention came to the Republican at noon, and the Whig party organization was formally surrendered.

Gzonentown, Sept. 20, 1855, The weather, at the present time is delight- fully pleasant ; quite favorable to all kiads of out and in door business. The fall trade with our merchants has not, as yet fairly opened, but is gradually and steadily incress- ing, and all are looking a few weeks ahead, when the farmers will have finished their seed- ing operations, in anticipation of a very gon- eral improvement in every department of mer- eantile trade. All along our wharves, for several days past, business generally has pre- sented an unusually encosraging appearance. The amount of merchandize ving is larger than usual, which seems to indicate that our merchants anticipate doing this fall and win- ter a heavy trade with the back country. R.
