MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER.

Western. Correspondence.—No. II. 
Activities of the People — Religious Sentiments — 
Temperance—Common Sdkools, &c. 
Mkssrs. Eds: —To tlic mind of an eastern man, 
there is one truth strikingly apparent in all 
the western towns, i. e., there is far more life, 
activity and energy, than in eastern towns of the 
same size. Emphatically so is it with Ionia, 
Michigan, the place from which your corres¬ 
pondent hails. The ruling men are those in the 
employ of the government—men of learning and 
intelligence-—who have earned for themselves 
reputation and wealth, and who have given 
character to the whole mass of the people. The 
religious spirit is dead in the hearts of some— 
flickering in that of others, and “-all alive ” in 
that of a few. Alas! why is there not, in some 
spot On the green earth, one noble exception to 
this. Few are the idlers and loungers about the 
streets and tavern doors, lienee idleness (that 
vice which,said the Irish school-master, “clothes 
the holly with nakedness,” 5 ) is seldom seen.— 
Lack of business there is not, and labor is am¬ 
ply repaid. Thus peace and harmony generally 
prevail ; for where each finds at home sufficient 
business to occupy his attention, he will feel 
little inclined to meddle with the affairs of his 
neighbor. Fine opportunities for entering into 
business of various kinds, are open to thorough¬ 
ly enterprising men, though their capital he 
small ; and doubtless in a few years they would 
realize a handsome income. 
The country around Ionia is peculiarly healih- 
ful ; -ami in the aggregate there has been but 
little sickness and few deaths during the sum¬ 
mer. There were a few cases of cholera, but 
none proving fatal. The people are friendly to 
Common Schools, and a large, fine building has 
been erected in the centre of the village, capa¬ 
ble of containing upwards of two hundred 
scholars. They are furnished with teachers of 
the best qualifications, and the school is now in 
a remarkably flourishing condition. Much 
might here he said of the ample provision 
Michigan has made for the education of her sons 
and daughters ; but 1 fear I shall exceed proper 
limits. Ir commends itself to every true friend 
of learning. The Ottawa and Grand River 
Valiev Railroad is laid out through this place, 
which, when completed, will render the com¬ 
munication with the eastern marts, much easier 
and far less expensive. 
I must not. omit to say there is quite a credit¬ 
able little sheet, published and issued on Fridav 
of each week, yclept the Ionia Gazette. If T 
mistake not it, is one of your exchanges. The 
re onrces of Ionia are as inexhaustible as the 
boundless forests around—.surrounded for many 
miles with a rich agricultural district, and 
pc plod with active, enterprising citizens who 
would d-» honor to any land—-a prosperous and 
successful future may be propb'ecied for her.— 
Wore the west to be my home. T could well 
consent to become one of her citizens. And now, 
summer with her green forests, gav song-birds, 
am! sunnv-skies,has gone toswell the countless 
host of long-forgotten ones, and autumn’s 
mournbtl wail falls heavily on the ear. E’en 
now the departing year begins to show signs of 
g ief, as the seared and yellow leaves, snapped 
from their decayed stems, flutter and fall to the 
earth, already rich with these dead trophies.— 
The harvest is passed, and the golden corn is 
gathered in O ! how big with instruction is 
everv change around us. May life’s fleeting 
hours be so improved by us, that when its au¬ 
tumn shall have come upon us, •• like shucks of 
corn fully ripe,” we may be gathered into the 
upper garners. s. a. e.

foreign Intelligence, 
Arrival of the America. 
Halifax, Nov. 9. 
Tine London Times says : “ We are informed 
that Mr. Soule, the American Minister at Ma¬ 
drid, was on Tuesday, the :25th, refused permis¬ 
sion to pass through France 011 his return from 
England to Spain.” 
The London Morning Post, announcingsemi- 
otlic ally the acquisition of Satnana, says:—“ It, 
amounts, virtually, if tint absolutely, to the an- j 
negation of San Domingo. The acquisition, by ■ 
the United States, of so important a position in 
the W est Indies, a position threatening on ei¬ 
ther hand t he Spanish islands of Cuba and Por¬ 
to Rico, and so directly affecting the British 
West. Indian possessions, cannot be received 
with indifference.” 
Sevastopol is not taken. The latest advices 
show mat 20 days elapsed between the depar¬ 
ture of the besieging armies from Balakava, and 
then opened a fire upon Sevastopol. Both the 
Fienctk and English had their batteries open on 
the 15th. On the 17th, fire was opened on the 
place from land and sea. The bombardment 
continued till night. The Bussians lost 500 
kilied and wounded. Among the former, Ad- 
m ral Korniloff, 
'The. Russian fortifications suffered very little. 
On the next day, the I 81 I 1 , the bombardment 
was resumed from the allied batteries only.— 
When the mail left Constantinople on the IGtlt, 
five steamers had arrived tit Balakava, with men 
w u ,ded in repelling the great sortie of 20 ,(fl }0 
strong. 
Gens. Raglan and Canrobert had formally 
summoned Sevastopol and required women and 
children and sick to be sent, away, and flags to 
be hoisted upon the hospitals. 
80 tar as is known the Russian army is con¬ 
centrating on the Upper Belha, and already 
numbers 45,000. The allied army is divided 
into a seige army and army of observation. 
On the 5t.li and 11th the garrison of Sevasto¬ 
pol made sorties and destroyed some small 
works. On the evening of the 5th a convoy of 
40.000 Russians succeeded iu entering Sevasto¬ 
pol. The allies now number 1 10.000 men and 
additional French were ready to embark 
from Marseilles on the ‘21 st, anil 8,000 Turks 
from Varna. 
Letters of the 12th say that the allies have 
500 guns, battery, and after a few days fire will 
attempt, to storm the garrison, which is estima¬ 
ted at 40,000 men. Altogether the prospect of 
the speedy fall of Sevastopol is not so favorable 
to the allies. 
Admiral Makinoff who commanded at Sinope 
is commandant of Sevastopol. “ He has pub¬ 
lished an address saving that, he will defend it 
to the last, and any is welcot/ie to shoot him if 
he don’t.”!!! 
Affairs look black between Russia and Aus¬ 
tria. A great council of war was held at Vien¬ 
na. The Emperor presided, and it is reported 
that Austria summons Russia to withdraw from 
the frontier of Sihcia. 
The whole Austrian arinv was to he put on a 
war footing on the 2(jth. The garrison of Vien¬ 
na has orders to be ready for marching at 48 
hours notice. 
Russia in the meantine continues to menace 
Aust Ha. 
The Czar has gone to Warsaw, and his for¬ 
ces are concentrating on the Austrian frontier. 
Little doubt is entertained at Vienna, that ere 
long there will be actual hostilities. 
Great Britain. —The British fleet, is to leave 
the Baltic about, the 10th of November, return¬ 
ing in squadrons, to Portsmouth,Sherness, Ply¬ 
mouth, and Cork. Five floating batteries and 
•20 gun boats, drawing 4 feet of water each, 
are building in England for the spring opera¬ 
te ns. 
Another Polar Expedition is to he sent next 
spring to bring borne the remains of Sir John 
Franklin’s party. I)r. Rae will have the com¬ 
mand. 
A galvanic apparatus was being constructed 
at, Newcastle-on-Tyne, to blow up the ships 
sunk off Sevastopol. 
France. —The. Emperor has written a letter 
of condolence to Madame St. Arnaud, and be¬ 
stows a pension of 20,000 francs, as a national 
recompense. The whole camp of the south is 
to embark for the south if required. 
Spain.— M, Soule’s return to Madrid caused 
quite an excitement, and a clamor was being 
made to induce the Spanish government to so¬ 
licit his redrawal. 
Austria. —Austria lias just concluded an im¬ 
mense financial operation, by which she has 
transferred to a company of capitalists all rail¬ 
roads constructed and worked by ihe govern¬ 
ment in Hungary and Bohemia. The company 
pays 200,(Kill,00U trancs, on winch the govern¬ 
ment, guaranties A per cent. 
China — I lie overland mail has been tele¬ 
graphed, with Canton dates of Sept. 9th. Can¬ 
ton was still besieged, and the distress of tin 
besieged was great. The insurgents yet hold 
Shanghai. 
Arrival of the Atlantic and St. Louis. 
1 he Havre steamer, St. Louis arrived at New 
York on the 11th, and the Liverpool steamer 
Arlantic on the 12th, with four days later news 
Irotn Europe. There is nothing in their de¬ 
spatches to vary essentially the news of the 
America. No new developments have been 
been made on the war question, and the seige 
of Sevastopol continues, but has not yet been 
stormed. 
Liverpool Markets. —Richardson, Spencer 
it Go., report Liverpool cotton steady, without 
improvement in price.

Arrival of the North Star. 
The U. S. mail steamship North Star arrived 
at New York, Nov. 9th, from Aspinwall, Nov. 
1 st, with the California mails to Oct. 16, and 
nearly $1.81)0,0(10 iu specie. She connected 
with the steamer Golden Gate, which was de¬ 
tained at San Francisco until 4 P. M„ to enable 
merchants to answer their letters by that vessel. 
She reached Panama on the evening of the 28th. 
'1 he steamship Y ankee Blade, which leftSai. 
Francisco on the 30ih Sept., for Panama, was 
wrecked on the following day. She had on 
board 800 passengers, beside the crew and fire¬ 
men, when she struck on a reef of rocks off 
Point Arquella, 15 miles above Point Concep¬ 
tion. Ab tut. fifteen lives, and all the specie on 
board, were lost. The ship was a total wreck, 
and in a day or two was broken up by the sea 
and washed to pieces. A fog hung upon the 
coast, and the Captain supposed the ship to he 
*20 miles from land when she struck. Some ter¬ 
rible scenes of pillage and murder took place on 
board the vessel after she st ruck, and before t he 
passengers were rescued by the steamer Goliah, 
ply ing between San Francisco and San Diego. 
The great topic of discussion in the California 
papers seems to he the Schuvlenzing of Henry 
Meigs, and the manner of the sudden departure 
of himself and brother. 
The Chronicle says the following may be ta¬ 
ken as a moderate approximation of his liabili¬ 
ties. The amount, of failure in his proper busi¬ 
ness is $800,000 ; Comptroller’s Warrant*forged 
$500,000; forged, or over issued stock on the 
California lumber company, of which concern 
he was President. $250,000 ; forgeries on differ¬ 
ent firms $50,000. Total, $1,600,000. The 
forged warrants and stock had been hypothe¬ 
cated for advances. It is supposed that Meigs 
may have received upon them nearly $400 000 , 
upwards of half of which sum it is estimated he 
has taken away with him. 
John G. Meigs, a brother of Henry’s, and who 
was recently elected under refoiin of the Know 
Nothing auspices, disappeared with the Arch 
Swindler. They left secretly on the 3d inst.,on 
the Bark America, which hael been bought, pro¬ 
visioned and armed, for the occasion, and was 
cleared for some port, in the Pacific, 
j ,San Francisco Market. Oct. 13.—The first, 
week of the fortnight was marked with unusual 
activity. During the last week business less ac¬ 
tive*. 
An early revival of trade is anticipated. 
Flour—No imports, and nothing of interest to 
note. 
The only sale of moment was of Garigo, at 
$ 12 , since which this description has advanced 
25 cents per barrel. Mess Pork, $18. Clear

Rochester, Nov-. 15, 1854. J 
Tur, order of prices has reversed during the week't 
Wheat having receded from extreme quotations, and the 
coarser grains having gone up. Flour sells to-day at $10, 
and Wheat at $“,20. Corn is live cents higher, being 
quoted at 80 cents; Oats at 43c.; Buckwheat $1, and Har¬ 
ley at $1,18% for first quality. 
Butter more plenty and lower, bringing 16 to 18 cents. 
Beef and Fork begin to come in freely, the former bring¬ 
ing $5, and the latter $4,50 to $5. 
t here is a good deal of pressure in tbe money market, 
and Western Bauks, as well as business firms, are failing 
frequently. Indiana money especially is ticklish stud' to 
handle, and among the recent failures outside of that 
Stale, may be reckoned ilie Canal Bank of Cleveland, the 
Exchange Bank of Buffalo, the Farmers’ Bank of Chicago, 
the Woodbury Bank of Connect cut, and the Farmers’ 
Joint Stock B ink of Toronto. 
The North Star, from California, brings in $1,8 0,000, a 
portion of which, or its equivalent, has gone abro. d during 
tue week.

ers can only realize by accepting easier prices. Buyers for 
the eastern and local trade hold oil', and are only taking

CARLISLE SEMINARY. 
(male and female :) 
Rev. JAMES DOUGLASS, A. 41. Principal, 
Assisted by a large corps of able anu experienced Teach¬ 
ers, filling every department of instruction. 
Tbis institution is located at Carlisle, Schoharie Co., N. 
Y., 30 miles west from Albany, and 12 miles south wf Can- 
ajoharie. Tl.e buildings are new and ol .sufficient capacity 
lo accommodate over 300 boarders. They are situated 
in the midst of a beautiful grove of some ten acres of ground 
belonging to the Seminary. 
Carlisle is a pleasant, healthy and retired village, and 
contains no hotels, saloons or groceries where intoxicat¬ 
ing liquors are sold, 
INTERNAL ARRANGE51ENTS. 
There are six large recitation rooms, six music rooms a 
commodious chapel, rooms for literary societies, a reading 
room, library, a large and convenient room for Oil Paint¬ 
ing with sky and side lights, batii rooms in connection 
with each department; and five flights of stairs all con¬ 
necting w ith outside doors and accessible from any part of 
the building, thus affording ample opportunities of escape 
in ease of fire. The whole is warmed by furnaces in the 
basement, thus obviating the danger and incovenience of 
having stoves in the rooms—but at the same time keep an 
equal temperature throughout the halls and rooms. Stu¬ 
dents are n-rer exposed to draughts of cold air, as they are 
not required to go out of the building in passing to the 
recitation rooms, chapel or dining hall. The rooms of the 
students vary in size from 10 by 14 feet to 15 by 16 feet and 
are furnished with a movable register in tbe lio 0 r. and also 
with a ventilator, by which means each student may grad¬ 
uate the temperature of his own room at pleasure In ad¬ 
dition to Ihe above conveniences, the institution employs 
servants to carry water to and from the several halls trim 
the lamps and do the extra cleaning of the Students’ rooms 
BOARD. 
We intend the hoard shall be decidedly sup. rior to that 
which is afforded in other boarding schools, thus removing 
the reproach too often,iu many cases too justly connected 
with them. 
BOARD OF INSTRUCTION. 
Iu the selection of Teachers, the Trustees have spared 
neither pains nor expense. Every department of instruc¬ 
tion is tilled by Teachers of Superior qualifications—experi¬ 
ence and success in their profession. Students completing 
a proscribed graduting course will receive Diplomas. 
DISCIPLINE. 
The students of both departments are underthe constant 
supervision of the Principal, Preceptress and Teachers_sit 
at tbe same table with them, are accompanied by them to 
church and on their excursions, and are instructed con¬ 
cerning the social proprieties as well as the duties and ob¬ 
ligations of life. No intercourse whatever is permitted be¬ 
tween the two departments except in the public parlor with 
the permission of the Principal and Pieceptress. No gen¬ 
tleman is allowed to visit a lady in her private room
