The Union classes the New York Atlas, Dow among professed Abolition journals, and intimates that its abuse of the Administration amounts to a good riddance for the Demo- eratic party. Tae same paper criticises at some length the published views of ex-Sena- tor Berrien, of Georgia, on Know-Nothing- fst; concluding thas they amount, in effect, to higher-lawism, identical in principle, if not eo offensive in appearance, with the high- er-lowisa of Senctor Seward and his friends at the North. The Intelligencer copies, with appropriate zemarks, an article from a Providenee, R. pa paper, giving an account of measures said to have been taken by the Administration, to compass an amicable adjustment with Den- mark of our Sound dues question with her, and ccmplimenting the Secretary of State high'y, for his wisdom and patriotism as de- veloped in his share of the measures aforesaid. The following extreet will give the reader an idea of the arrangements and efforts to which we refer : *'«Ocr Retatioxs wirn Dexwarx.—We are heppy to be able to state, on the most reliable anthovity, that measures are in pi by the United States Government which will put to rest all fears of any collision with Denmark, growing out cf our refusal to submit longer to the Sourd dues.

They tell but one thingoertain. Thus, they render it sure that the Democratic victory in Pennsylvania is overwhelming. The follow- ing despatch from a tautious and well-inform- ‘| ed friend in Philadelphia, tells the tate of the Pennsylvania result in few words : Ls BLPHIA, Oct. 10, 9 A. M. “The is seat have is aa the ea rmegpeiys also elected Abele canlidee’ hr Callt Con missioner jn a similar way.’? From the fragmentary dispatches, to which we refer above, the publication of which would only serve to confuse the ordinary reader’ it is clear thst the Democrats have gained in every county of the State, in some almost 5,000! votes {in each) as compared with the election of last year. 5 From Ohio, we learn nothing whatever up to noon, owing certainly to a derangement of the wires, which up to that hour provokingly con- tinued. Our arrangements to obtain them st an early hour this morning were so eomplcte asto prevent « disappointment in any othcr way. A first gun from Ohio, received lust night, says that Chase had made considerable gains in six counties. It came from Columbus, and amounts to nothing ; as it cannot be that he has gained upon the anti administration majority thrown there last year. From Indiana we have nothiog whatever 80 far. By-the-by, shortly after noon today the telegraphing agent of the associated ‘press sent up to us copies almost verbatim of the re- turns from Pennsylvania, which we found at 7A. M. printed in the Baltimore Sun. This ts enterprise (with a vengeance!) We have nothing om going to press from the local election in progress to-day in Baltimore. P. 8. Just as.we goto press we have a dis- pateh from a perfectly reliable friend, in Co- lumbus, Ohio, on whom we are depending. He telegraphs us at 10, A. M. to-day, that sufficient has been heard from all quarters cf the State to render certain the election of Gov. Medill, (Dem ,) aud also of the rest of the Democratic State ticket, by majorities over which their friends throughout the Stat- are shouting themselves out of breath. Rauil- roads so traverse the State, that reliable news from almost every county west, have con- centrated in Columbus by 9, A. M. to-day. Su they go. The Late Capt. Folsom’s Accounts —We find in the New York Times a letter from Charleston, 8. C , essaying to explain the ac- counts of the late Capt. Folsom, formerly As sistant Quartermaster U. 8. A., for disburse ments in California from the first quarter of 1850 to the second quarter of 1854, which is evidently written with little substantial know!- edge on the subject. We have taken pains to inform ourself with reference to this matter, as it is understood by the accounting officers of the Government, it being one of great popular interest, more especially on the Pacific side. Its gist isas tollows: Captain Folsom had, placed in his hands for disbursement, a large amount of public funds, and he rendered vouchers for his expenditures up to within some four monthaof the occurrence of a ccr- tain fire; alleging that, in it, the vouchers for the previous four months expenditures afore- said were burned. The balance thus unac- counted for was $275,736, which he and his friends claimed to have bzen expended for public purposes and covered by the lost youch- era. As the average rate of expenditure on tiat station, both before and after the alleged period covered by the lost vouchers, was :cuch less than as alleged by h'm for that time, the testimony offered in place of the vouchers was considered too vague and general to be allowed; umount- ing to little more than a statement that tho expenditures Aad been made and the vouckers Aad been burned. The Government eued him for a balance of $275,736. Congress, in the army appropriation bill last pasecd, included a clause authorising parole testimony of the alleged disburzements during the four months of the lost vouvhers. To show how improbable the testimony rendered was, we have only to remark that the amount Claimed as disbursed during the four months Was nearly $9,500 greater than his (Captain F.’s) total disbursement for two years and five months, in which he was disbursing, from the first quarter of 1850 to second quarter of 1854, exclusive of the time covered by the lost youch- ers. The order for the suit against bis estate went out by the last steamer. Ho certainly disbursed something; but in the absence of anything resembling proof in the matter, the Department, we preseme, will continue to de- cline to allow a credit of more than the ave- rage for the time—four months—which iz some- where between $40,000 and $50,000. The Last Bribsry Case.—Yesterday we noticed the fact of ‘the indictment of Judge Stuart, of the New York city court, for bri- bery, and compounding felonies it was his duty to punish according to law. We were struck with a fact bearing on the case an- nounced in the same paragraph which we were then: without the space to notice Properly. That is, with his alleged effort to induce the grand jury to let him appear be- fore them with testimony in his own defence. It strikes us, that any judge of a court of law who could deliberately purpose thus to trifle with the manner in which a grand jury should discharge its duties, deserves to be in- dicted for utter and sheer incompetenoy; if not forcrime. If he knew the first lessons of a judicial education, he knows that nothing could be more improper than his effort in question. which wears the appearance of a deliberate attempt to shirk @ fair public trial under the indictments hanging over him. The Proposed Coalition.—There has recent- ly been a eecret meeting between the Hard and Know Nothing State committees, of New York, in the interior of the Btate, to arrange terms on which they shall formally unite their forees in this approaching election. It secms to us that it is about time for those Democrats who have really sympathised with the Hards to have their eyes opened to their true politi- cal character, An Army Officer Resigned. — Second Lieut.

It is supposed that not more than two-thirds of the land warrants issued under tie late act, have been sold, but are still in the hands of the warrantees. The demand at present from Towa, Wisconsin and Minne- sota, is very heavy, and will probably con- tinue until after the sales in Minnesota, which commence on 221 instant, and the clos- ing of navigation and travel by ice and snow. The present issug now exceads ‘five hundred |- per day, which will average one hundred and twenty acres each, or sixty thousand acres per day, from which some idea of the vast loca- tions in the Western States may be formed, when it is seen that this large issue does not supply the demand. There has been great activity in the grain markets of the different cities, with a general advance of prices. The sales of flour, wheat and corn in the New York market the last four days of the past week, for foreign and home consumption, exceeded $3,000,000! If the present shipments of breadstuffs con- tinue, we shall soon see a return of a few of the many millions of gold that England and France has drained from us in the last five years. Exchange is now so low that specie cannot be profitably shipped.

The yellow fever has nearly disappeared from Norfolk and Portsmonth; and if new ma- terial be not supplied by those now away, but a short time will clapse before the last vestige of the disease will have been blotted out, The following are among the victims in Nor- folk since our last report : Mr. Brownley, Mrs. James Carrick, Mra. George Bunting, Jas. White, Michael Cullen, Thomas Gilbert. Dr. Powell writes from Norfolk, on Monday, as follows: “I have just returned from the city and am happy to inform you that a greatimprovement has taken place in the appearance of affairs since my iast visit. Many of the stores are now open and some transacting business. The dwellings are now being pretty generally yen- tilated. Those whom you mect no longer wear pies eet . But Age my attention icularly was the appearane> of about posers dressed ladies on Main street. I have frequently visited Norfolk when not one was tobe seen. The universal opinion now entertained is that the epidemic is past, rovided those who are absent will remain m the city a few weeks nest Mr. Hosier returned to Norfolk with his family about ten days since. He and two of his children have since died and others of bis family are sick. It is still srecedingy unsafe for any one tore- turn. They had quite s severe frost bagh in Norfolk and Portsmouth Yast night, from which favorable resulis are ipated. There were 4 deaths. qooterdoy. and 3 new cages. Much suffering distress has existed in Norfolk and Portsmouth during this epidemic. but the end is not yet. The excitement and abzolute- necessity for constant activity has afforded but little time for reflection. T have seen husbands consigning their wives tothe tomb—wives their husbands—parents their children—and children their parants— with an separate callousness that to mo was truly painful. In fact, they i many instances, entirely incapable of ciating their loss, and even now they realize it. To this, it is true there have been exceptions. I have witnessed some outbursta of emotions which irresistibly excited the sym- pathy of the spectators. But when those who are absent return, at- tired in the habiliments of mourning; when the social circle is re-formed and the survivi members of the respective families surrow: the domestic hearth—then will the truth with all its horrors apparent. Then will the eye in vain searoh for the absent wife or husband, father or mother, sonor daughter, brother or sister. The scenes of intense men- tal suffering which will then transpire no pen can depict nor pencil portray. Yesterday was a cool lait we bad Frost, ond oul, ; On Saturday. there nl and four on Sandey, ‘principally ag io | Halter, and pangs Drew- nds Iss}; ‘very low at hi E ital will jay.) We are indebted to a friend for the following extract from a private letter from the Rev. Thomas Hume, of Portemouth, received in this city yesterday : ‘* The disease, as you heave no doubt learn- ed, has greatly abated since Monday, when there were five deaths. I do not think there have been more than 5 deaths fof the four days and thus far of fifth, But this is partly owing to the want of material to keep the disease alive. , “Likes reging fire it has burrt itself out; it only lacks fuel. If this be the case, it is not time yet for our friends to think of return- ing home. We long to seo them here; wo feel their absence very keen!y, but we rec plainly we must continue to deny ourselves the pleasure.of their presence, and warn them not to return until we have some continuance of cool weather. When our people are gath- ered back, how many wiil yet be found miss- ing. We shall then realise over and again the fearfal work of death.”* a SIX DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

On the 25th, # force of 33,000 allies de- bouched from Eupatoria end ccoupied the neighboring village, on the left flank of the Russians. Sepastopon, Sept. 16—The Russians are phates § the north side of the city, and are constructing new batteries. The French were advancing their cavalry and infantry towards Bakshiserai.

Four hundred deserters, mostly Poles had arirved at the allied camp. They report that the demoraiization of the Russian army. was complete, such was the oonfusion after eyacu- ating fooartopel The soldiers. were so ex- hausted with 14 we that they laid down for 25 hours without food. The logs of the Russians is now estimated at 18,000. From the forts on the north side the Rus sians continue to throw shells into the city. The Berlin papets say that Gortschakof will shortly evacuate the north forts, but this is considered doubtful, as the Russians are now making extensive preparations for a win- ter campaign. ASIA.
