• Aittonyh the Niw Yo-k Herad is doabtees
l k-pt well inf rmed from most of the other great
i c-p.te .t in £ -iope to the present phase of the
I Orajfctel question, yet, as this city is the grand
arena whtre tee diplomatic contest of our part of
: . j world is cniefly concentrated, it is not im
probeole teat i may be enabled, from time to time,
la far sb yonr readers with communications of
particular interest.
With this view, permit ire to off A the following
i OD'-ervationa on the prospects which ara b-;ore ua
| with respect to the conferences that are uocat 'o bo
opened, or, more p/operiy speaking, on the Con
e.aoi Peace, wAch is aooat to commence its
i i : r* within th • vraJsof this ancient capital. It
J >» indeed oiißcalt to prognosticate thj probable
of this aitcmpt on the part of the belig'jrer-t
• and Austria to pn. an end to the uloody
| u.. i d .-sstrona war that hae. been wi.ged for the
1 ii.+ r . twelve months in the Easl, without ar y do
c -cd result on either aide, by deliberating upon
f*'ic 1 » erm . of as are kkely to bccnre the
I i ir* o r ejtb'ciiCj of the Ottoman £mpirv in all its
4 .- . y. fh.ro can bo no donbt that however
,1,-vilg may be the desire of me«e Powers—cay,
;he deoire of ail Europe—to restore to i a tne
b.fe.-i-iiigd of peats, yet the diliicalties of attaining
*o thifc «?arneatiy long jd for o-d arc immense. The
paramount interest cf the various Powers who
u.engaged in thus ombi tcred conhict are so
diame’riCi iy oppose i to each other that it appears,
,ifits: d, to be an herculean tahk to reconcile them,
ici ce, the cpinions of enr politicians vary much
i »c y rt to Lhe p of its ac3omplishment.
Many incline to thick teat the so-called Oriontsl
que •• oc, with all its concomitant complications,
cauu t finally and “atislactorby bo dtc.ded save
by the c go of the sword. Tais view of the Oise
not only implies a long protracted war, and one
that must necessarily increase in dimensions and
extend over the whole of Europe, as it proceeds
but fiaally, also, a revision of the man ot Europe,
an i a consequent general crisis in this part of the
globe.
i snid many of oar politicians are of this opin
ion, but I must needs add that they Bt'll form the
minority. The vast majority of them take a fairer
and a brighter view ct tnc caoe. Nor is then any
th ng extraordinary in th #fact, for men in gene
r I, you are aware, are over prono to think that
which they wish—to believe that which tnoy de
fcire. Nuy, the psychological axiom holds good,
that “Man cannot exist without hope.” This mor
nl ii we may so term it, goes even a stun
b iyon<.' this truism, for it is an acknowledged fa ; v
if at men are often given to “hopo against hope.*’
Thus it is that the vast majority of our reasoners
in-> st, and faat too with a remarkable pertinacity,
that the fact of the Emperor of Kassia haviug uu-
ccndiiioiDaliy accepted the interpretation cf the
“iCiir points of guarantee” for the future peace,
which were agreed to by France, England, Aasti a,
and Turkey, and coaumunicitcd by their repro»ebt
niivea hero 10 Prince GortachakoflP, the
Piauipotontirry at thia Court, on the 7lh of last
reontb, ia of it elf an important guarantee that the
Csar is as desirous to make peace as the other pow
rs can po-idbly be. Thoy conveniently forget,
however, that between the apparently fair accepta
ation of a curtain “reasonable basis]’ for peace, or
in other words, of certain just principles, which
the said interpretation of the “four points” laid
down to thut end, and the practical application of
carrying out tho same, are two very distinct met
iers. Uramed, lor arguments sake, that the Em
peror Nicholas has as little money—as little of the
indispensable ntroui rerum —for carrying on an
almost interminable war as the other European
Powers have, or oven less than thev, and that he
leels a compunction of conscience when he reflects
upon tho terrible horrors of war that have already
bee., perpetrated, and on the lens of thousands
that have been urged on to tho slaughter, or to the
less glorious death of d'.sease, of famine, cold, and
other inhuman hardships, and of tho oceans oi his
country’s best blood that has been shed in vain
iov '.his unrighteous cause—admitted, even, that
is literally ashamed of having wofully
tr iddoa public law and the rights of nations under
1:> .t; of having stubbornly and haughtily carried
rut a premeditated aggression and unjustifiable
oiicro chmeut upon the sovereign riguts of his
pt hcefal neighbor, in the fao-j of the most conaido
r.t’o warnings and earnest remonstrance* cf the
whole of Europe—well, docs it not necessarily fol
low that this mighty potentate, now that ho is
fairly launched into ac nflict with his bitterest and
ruoet uncompromising foes —into a conflict that has
si ready cost him dear, but has till now only provod
hi* g-ganticstrength—will tamely, and sotoi-poak,
voluntarily, acquiesce to havo bis preponderance of
power, which he wields in the E&si, (and which
the combined efforts of Turkey and aer gieat allies
. ive not *et been enabled to redact,) destroyed
and pared down to their convenience?
This plain question can hardly be answered in
the affirmative, even by the most invoterato op
timisi?. Tho gist of the mattor simply lies in the
third point of guarantee, and here the question
arises : W iii the crnineT statesmen who may com
1 pose tho “Congress of Peace,” bo enabled to sug
gest such a practical application of th® principle
hid down in the interpretation, namely, “the
annihilation of Russia’s preponderance in tboßltok
bes.” as the Czar, with due regard to hi* honor,
dignity and intere te can agree to? Or, will Kus-
C.a resolve to come forward with such suicidal pro
positions in this re.optct aa will aim can satisfy the
o-.her Powers ? Herein lies the chief difficulty,_at
Je»t\t for tho momeiit; but soiue think that this dis
Realty will be overcom ♦ by tho intermediate and
t;a:J. probable victory of the alli«» at Sevastopol.—
Others again opine tha t there is bat little chance
« r that, because, notwithstanding the recent very
oonsiderab e reinforcements of the allies, the Rub
ttiau forces now concentrated in the Crimea, are
more than sufficient to prevent an entire reduction
of their bravely defended stronghold. Pe rad ven
ture, however, a partial success of the all.es may
yet bo hoped for ; a?id if real zed, I incline to the
belief that this would be all that is absolutely wan
ted to save at le st the military hon>r of tho bol-
Ugero: *!» on both sides. And thus it was posti
hie that au arrangement could be more easily ar
rived afc, whereby their conflicting material inter
ests might be placed upon a satisfackoiy footing
for tho future. 1 mean, this desirable seanlt would
doubtless be greatly facilitated, if the allies
successfully to storm at leust the southern s do of
Sevastopol, and accomplish the destruction of the
R ■. shin fleet in that harbor. Time alene can prove
if this view he a correct one.
But to revert to the “Corgrees of Penoe” that
is shortly about to be opened in this capital: The
r-cent appointment of Lord J bn Russell as a spe
cial plenipotentiary for England to the same, i* of
course known to you. Tho oommenls that have
bee made t bet eon by th* Euglis w press I need not
re?ap:tu!a*e; but 1 may say that whatever else
;i:ny bu thought of thi* appointment, it certainly
proves two thirga, namely : First, that the special
•nlssdon to this Oongree* of ro eminent and" influ
oDtial a statesrran £» Lord John Bussell, ia indiß
putably Intended as a very dittitiguiehed honor to
ihe Imperial Court of Vienna; and secondly, that
hor Britannic Mnjeety’e present advisers, with
Lord Palmerston at their head, thus teetify ths
moat earnest desire to *pprcoiate, to the fullest ex
4cnt, the ndvantftges that *iay accrue from
the present attempt to restore peace to Europe.
Hence, it is also rcaso able to infer that if only the
main difficulties of these psoiflo negotiations can
be overcome, England is prepared, in osee of need,
to compromise minor ones. That Franco will pur
sue the sumo policy as England, cannot for a mo
ment bo doubted. The alliance between the
Western Powers in the present contest, appears to
be above ail things perfectly sincere and solid.
The appointment of a special plenipotentiary for
France to the Congress, is now certain. Baron de
Bourquenay, tho French ambassador here, has
bo n courteously requested by command of tne
Emperor, Napoleon ill., as a mark of his eover
oign’e special satisfaction and consideration, to
name any French diplomatist of rank who would
■>e most agreeable to him a* a coadjutor. As for
Turkey, wo all know that the Sultan and his Min
is a are moat ardentiy deairoua of peaoe. We
hoar that A.i Pasffia will be sent hither to assist
Ares LJondi, U e Ottomau ambapsador st this
court, in the caoacity of a tpecial plenipotentiary.
Austria’s arguments in favor of peace aro a splen
did army of 600,000 warriors upon a war footing,
ready for action at a day’s notice. If this Congress
be unhappily dissolved without peaoe having re
sulted therefrom, the treaty of tho second Decem
ber will immediately oome into full force, and then
Austria wili at once and inevitably aasurne the
offensive against Russia. This, then, will bo the
sigrai that cannot fail to aroueo the Germanic con
federn'.iou, inclusive even of Fruasia, from thß
backsliding and tergiversations that have till now
characterized their policy in the great European
question.
Ad voetm Prussia : She is at present in a per
fectly isolated position. Having steadfastly de
clinad to secede to the treaty of !>i December,
or teuaibiy becauso she deemed it derogatory to
' ir .1 c ; ity to be taken in tow by Austria, who
has nobly led the wry throughout these interme
diate negotiations in Germany, but in reality be
cause the king of Prussia cannot even now screw
up his courage to the sticking point, to declare
absolute hostilities, under any given eventualities,
iC. - 9 t his patrou and brother in law at Bt. Petere
burthan of the letter’s unbelieved attack upon
Germany: and having since failed to ooxasn the
Western Powers into a wishy-weahy mi k soppy
I a rate treaty, Prussia, it would appear, is to
r : t-,ia n escoded from the great European concert,
and will have no seat or vote at the Congress,
»- el,a yet bnckiea to, and accedes to the terms
which England,Fr: uce, aud'Auatria have imposed
n . it her as the price of her participation thereat,
it rents ns to be seen whe'her.she will finally re
- >.ve rather to put up with this well mo'ited in
i’pity than subscribe 10 the termß of the three
Power*. But, notwithstanding ail that can be
-,ced in ,‘avor of sner. a resolution, when it conce
to the push wo still eipeet that ale will veer
round, though probably with a wry face and a
* tit cry for her “menaced rights as a graat
Power in Europe*’—a character, by the cy, which,
!in s con.;ary Case, she would virtually abdicate.
Lrst'v, as regards the representation or Etuseia at
i .be CorgrefS, ee learn that M. de TitrfiT, formeriy

PRUSSIA AND THE W JEBIXBN POWERS.—The OOD
feroDcea a'. Puna between the Prussian envoye,
Gen. Bs.rou do Wedell and Count Haiziel it, and
M. Drouyu d l’Huys, b.gin on Tuesday, 27tb nit,

foand i; necessary to return to B rliuto receive
personal instructions from his Prussian Majesty,
bat is expected back again in the shortest possi
ble space of time. Baron d’Usedom baa left for
London.
Ihe Leipziger Zeltung gives us the following
version ot the conditions under which Gen. von
Wed'il is authorized to conclude the said treaty at
Panß:
1. No territorial diminution of the Russian em
pire shall be demanded by the allied Powers.
2. All revolutionary elements are to be kept at
a distance.
8. With respect to the guarantees to be demand
ed of Ru»s!&, the “four points” established by the
Vienna shall cot be exceeded.
4. With respect to the third of those “Four
Points” (abolitiou of the Russian supremacy in
the Black bei,) only such demands shall be made
as Russia, with due regard to her dignity and
influence as a great Power, might be enabled to
accept.
5. A plenipotentiary on the part of Prussia shall
tako part in the peace negotiations which are forth
with to bo opened at Vienna with Prince Gort3-
schakoff, the Ra. sian plenipotentiary. In the
ovent ol these conditions being sgieed to by tko
Westeru Powers, Prussia has o timed to establish
an army of luo,ooo men on the eastern frontiers. —
The mission of Lieutenant General von Wedell,
it is added, was the immediate result of the King
of Prussia’s own order, and did not emanate di
rectly irorn the Prussian M niatry. The latter wili
adopt the consequences oi the said mission, if its
objects be attained in a satisfactory degree.
The lodowing despatch relative to the Vienna
Conference, had been received in London:
CoLoenK, March 1. 1855.—Intelligence trom Ber
lin states that Lord J. Russell is to remain here
only two days. The opening of the Vionna Con
ference being so very near, it is doubtful whether
Prusssia will bo represented there at the beginning.
Baron Usedom and Count Aivonslebon uro desig
uated as Prussian Envoys. There is a rumor that
the negotiations have been interrupted through
unexpected difficulties.
The French Government still maintains that
Prussia, as a preliminary condition to tatting part
in the Conference of Vienna, mast engage to abide
by the majority, whatever that may be, and Prus
sia, or rather Gen. do Wedell, decliuos that en
gagement, asserting that the point is one whioh is
a proper matter lor discussion by the Coniorence
which he asks to be admittod to.

The D.ario announces the arrival in Madrid of

Spanish government is disposed to admit that the
autho.ities cf Cuba exceeded their power in the
alfrir of tho Black Warrior, t» regards tho two
principal points of it—the description of the cargo,
and the time allowed for tho production of tho

the Jtmeral e&rteya drew nigh the tqusro wua
thronged with spectators. From an early hoar in
the morning th# minnte belle of the various
churches in the oity was solemnly toded, snd the
tradirg establishments were partially closed. Nu
merous applications nsrs made by several publio
bodies and private ind.vidnale for petmiaeiuu to
evince their respect for the departed statesman,
and their sympathy In th# general grist for his
loss, by attending at the ftmsrnl and forming pert
of tho procession ; but it was intimated that the
body was to be followed to the grave only by the
nesr relations of the deesased and i few of his
particular private friends.
Tn Wealth er Calitoeeu.—The extraordinary
drouf ht of the last si* months appears to have hsd
its influence npon the bmsinezs of fold mining a»
well as upon agricultural predictions. Some of
the mines are independent of ell Tialeaitudes of
season, but water is en al®ost universal element
of prosperity. The San Frawtoo Tfaneeript states
that the number of miners ift California must be
greater than in former years* and the steady pro
duction from this staple resourtfj es the new State
is not likely to bo seriously diminished. The
Transcript thus describes tho results of a few
weeks 1 labor:
“The oxport of gold is not diminishing, as wilt
be seen by our reeßnt reports; and, although it
may be said that this is not an infallible criterion
of the amount on hand, yet it ia tolerably certain
that it would not continue to flow out without
leaving ua tho necessary conclusion that our peo
ple as a body are in a paying condition. The reg
ular reported shipments by weekly steamers,
which do not cover the amounts which g© to Asia
and the East in private hands, are for the last six
weeks as follows:
January Ist $1,402,241
“ 9.h 64*,000
« 16th 1,430,830
“ 24th 476 405
February Ist 1,556,996
“ 9 th 621,059
T )tal $5,929,090
“This statement exhibits an average which will
bring us up to that ol nearly any former year.—
But we are told that thi* is tho result of a drainage
upon our home circulation; that real estate is in a
trance; that merchandize is dead capital; and that
private debts are not paio. What is the conse
quence of these facts ? Some of the results are
already manifest in this city ; wild speculations in
unfathomable water-lots and unclaimable sand
hills are suppressed; rents are coming down to
the abilities of tenants; people arc beginning to
Keep accounts of expenses, and living more within
tseir means ; the lazy are beginning to work, and
the industrious are working harder than ever.—
These results are to have a reactive force, and
when out people muster their energies and rally
tor the oria-.a, a general and healthy condition of
things must inevitably restore us to a sound pros
parity”
The New York Evening Poet, the oldest Demo
cratic paper im that State, attributes the loss of New
Hampshire to tho mal-idministration of affairs fcy
President Piero*. It remarks:
“If there wat any doubt before of the present ;
state of public feeling in New Hampshire, there !
can be none since this election. The State has j
pronounced itself against Mr. Pierce's adminlatra

caused by passing ullered bills, by whioh means

That is, he would take t n twenty dollar bills of
the same bank and make them eleven, by means
cf a combination. It ia done thus. Suppose we

Constantinople, Feb. 2.
My Dear :—I you a Oriel note tae outer
day trcui the Cr msa, where 1 have been spending
several *ec*i3 m acquainting myself with the
position, c •. jiticn, the Allied armies.
I can now -peak ol Sevastopol as one who has
| repeaLi dr - \ it, and lam not at all sorry that
j my curiosity pr in: t3d me to a short scjjuru
among the boll-gerauis.
1 was • f'»i m.ale as to escape the alightesfin
i j 'ry cube r. i di.-ease, or powder and shot. I
! hope th».i my tar her European adventuros may
I prove cq ;a ly pain factory. 1 anticipate, if ail is
well, a stay here abouts of Borne two or three
weeks loi g r, and then a departure for Marseille s
: and Pams, probably via. Malta, as there are many
i vessels going from here to that island. * * *
ldo not exactly *ko the recent movement in
| Congress in reference to a mediation between the
i Allies and Ruas e. It is, in my opinion, by no
means advit-abie for our government to interfere,
i I regret that a feeling cf enmity appears to be
V. idiirg be ween America and England. The
L.-ndon Times has spokan vary severely of late
| the sympathy towards Russia manifest
in the States. I fancy that the alliance of Britain
with Austria does not at ail please the Yankees,
bat a war can never result from England’s mis
conception of our views. John Bull often goes off
half cocked, and in his discreditable ignorance of
our institution!?, and opinions, bo gets into many
absurd predicaments. If there is at the present
day any considerable opposition to E"g and in
the States, it is the result of fcer own conduct—her
sneering at our honort attempts toward improve
ment, and cbaractaritt c but no vicious propensity
to think ourseives of some little consequence, * *
I am thankful to find myself ts true an Arneri
can as ever ; and if I get safely back to England,
1 shali not hesitate to tell my acquaintances there
test in my humble opinion, any increase of dislike
to British movements, ou the part of the Yankees,
wiii be the work of Englishmen, through their
unkind remarks upon us.
I can afford you no fre-h news from Sevastopol.
I uad a quiet peep at tho place only a few days
ago, and must say that it appeared quite as com
plete and strong as over—the battering whioh it
has received has produced no injury—the thirky
two pound balls from the allies’guns roll off the
mud batteries like musket kalis off the hide of a
rhinoceros. Tho seigo may be said to bo in a pro
gressive way—but it moves very slowly, I can
assure you. I candidly think that wo cannot look
with any degree of certainty for the capture before
tho middle of April or first of May. Tho alließ
could not take it now were they to try ever so
hard. They have not the men or ammunition ne
cessary. The English army is sorely reduced.
Ton thousand now on the nick list, and hundreds
dying every day. The Hospitals at Scutari aie
crowded, and new and extensive ones have just
been opened at Smyrna— too far I think from the
seat of war—sick, woundec^and dying men canuot
be expected to ouaurs a sea voyage of four days
i.nd nights. The ship in which I returned to this
place was a very large one, say two thousand fivo
hundred tons. We had four hundred sick and
wounded soldiers on board. Fortunately the pas
sage proved very smooth, and we lost only six or
seven of the poor fellows. Tho wooden houses ot
huts ure fast going to the Crimea, and if they arc
all erected before spring, hundreds of lives may
bo saved. Tho French seem to outdo the Euglish
in everything; they have some eighty thousand
men in tho field, and are active in every move
ment. I that the English have abandoned
the much, droaded trench-work to their brave
a is?. Unless strong re enforcements are speodily
forthcoming, Lord Raglan will soon have no men
left save those happy fellows in his staff, who live
on beef and pudding, and do little if any work.
I do not be ieve thut Lord Raglan is so unpopu
lar as his staff, though theTimos has been pouring
forth a volley ot its thundor at his Lordship. It
cannot bo denied that the most gross mismanage
ment has marked all tho movements of the Eng
lish, even to the present day. Preci-ely who is to
blame, lam not competent to decide. You should
hoar the English officers talk ; I cannot begin to
speak in terms so severe as they do. All exhibit
tho deepest dissatisfaction, while with tho Freuch
all is harmony and contentment. 1 have noticed
this to bo so invariably.
All Hgreo that it was foolish for the Allies to go
to the Crimea, and more so for them to march
around to tho South and strongest side of Sevaste
pol, when they could have reached the North aid'*
more recdily, and thereby have cat off the enemy’s
rransofb inging in supplies, and have stood u
far better chanco of exploring the city. I intended
to have sent you a sketch or the position of the
armies, the city, Ac. with a long letter of descrip
lion, but I have not had the opportunity for prep
oration. I hope soon to give you a verbal and
precise account of things as I found them, and of
my many and odd adventures in the outlandish
Crimea.
The weather became quite mild aud springlike
before 1 leit the Crimea. Here it is much the same
now ; win er is thought to have spent its fury. The
; iin corr es oat brightly almost every day, and I am
trying to see all that is to be seen in this vicinity.
There is much talk hore of peace. It is said that
the Cur nas agreed to the principal points de
manded by tho Western Powers. I pray that it
may be so. I urn sure that every Englishman
wants peace. The French may objoot, but their
ambition‘to kill their fellows need not bo encour
aged. Enoagh cf human blood has already been
spilled to satisfy the r&vougc of the greatest nations
od earth.
I will mention my arrangements for living here.
I have a cozy apartment adjoining one occupied by
my friend Mr R., in the dwelling of a sociable
American family m Para, the foreign part of Con
stant! .op’e. H;ro we sleep and take our break
fast; dinner and tea wc procure elsewhere. We
live comfortably and economically, much more so
than at a Hotel, particularly such Hotels as they
have horo. I have received the kindest treatment
from Carroll Spence, E q , the American Minister,
Mr. J. P. Brown, tho wed known Secretary to our
Legation, and all the Missionaries here, with fouio
of whom I have had most delighcful interviews
since my return from Balaklava.
Very truiy, yours, K. C. MoC., Js.
The Ocean Mau. 1- tkaHSHli* Service.—Commo
dore Vanderbilt publishes a letter indignantly
denouncing an intimation of one of the Now Tork
papers that he bud bribed tho President to veto
the Collins line bill. He also warmly defends the
veto of the measure, and declares bis belief that
every disinterested man in the nation will yet
honor the President for the stern and conscien
tious disohargo of his oath of cffico on the occasion.
He also denies that the Collins line is doing a
poor business, as it represents:
By the advice (he says) of paying interest upon
stock in lion of dividends, and by the conversion
*{ accumulated income into tho capital, they have
br ea able to represent to a sympathising and pa
triotic people that their business lias been disas
trous ar d that they have received no dividends.
Contracting in 1847 to built five steamships and to
make twenty round voyages per annum, for which
they were to reoeive $18,250 per voyage,they have
suewaeded in satisfying their contract by the con
strucion of but four; aDd since 1852 have been
re-eiving from the national treaeury the sum ot
SBB.OOO per voyage, in lieu of the sum for which
the servioa was originally contracted to be rentier
ed, and this for twenty six voyages in lien ottwenty.
I Btand ready, (he adds,) at any moment to con
t'act weh the government (and to give the reqni
aitc security for tho performance of my oontract) to
transport the mails from New York to Liverpool
twioo a mouth for tho term of five years, in snips
of equal or superior description to those of the
Collins line, and at an average time of twenty four
hours loss than tha average time in which the
ships of that line have hitherto performed their
voyages; and to render the service for the sum of
18,260 per round voyage, (the sum for the Collins
line originally contracted,) and in default of strict
performance, I wili render the service withont
compensation and I will further stipulate not to
cak or t.c.cpt of advances from the government to
aid in the construction of the steamers, and not to
besioge Congress annually for an increased allow
ance. I should have made to tho Postmaster Gen
eral Ji proposition c:’t is tenor, but, an I was in
clined to spare the Collins line, and for that cause
alone I refrained from making it.
It in my strong impression that the Atlantic Mail
service can be performed without further compen
sation than that derivuble from the established
rate of Ocean postage, and did it not appoar like
madness for a private individual to attempt to
oompete agaiDst a monopoly, deriving snehstupen
dons protection from the public treasury, I should
not be unwi l ng to undertake to render the service
without compensation from the treasury—if a
proper arrau.ement oould be effected in respect to
the postage receipts.
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.—At the regular
monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of tho
Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad, held on Wednesday,
the official report of the business of the road for
the month of February was read, showing the
revenue for the month to have been as follows:
Main stem Wash, branch. Totals.

$185,441.57 81,461 46 *16.908.08
Compared with February of 1854, this shows
upon the main stem a decrease of $98,801.49 from
freight and of $1,113.87 from passengers. Upon
the Washington branch there fca* been an increase
of $3,414 23 fr m passengers and of $2,787.85 from
fr-;igtit, making the total decrease of receipts from
the entire .oad, as compared with February 1854,
$83,265.67. Tnis decrease in receipts ia now shown
bv all the railroads of the couuir/, and especially
by tho greut iin .s of communication with the

The Sugar Maitutaott;rx cr Fkancx — France is
the largest producer ct beet ai'g«r in the world.—
A favorable foil and climate, and a rural and in
dustrioils population, contribute to the sucoessfa!
prosecution ot the beet sugar manutacture. This
manufacture originated during the reign of Napo
ieou Bonaparte His continental system raised
colonial produce to an almost fabulous price. The
high iate of sugars indue d man y to lock around
for the means c X producing sugar at home, and an
impetus given to the search, by the offer of a
magnificent premaim by the Emperor to the suc
cessful discoverer of a permanent hotne source of
rupp : y. Os all the plants tried, the beet proved
the meat promising, but 40 years ei&paed before
the manalaotcrer of the bse esgar was enabled to
•30pe successfully with colonial sugars. From
France the culture spread through Belgium, Ger
many end far into the interior of Bussia, and now
there is pr'Kluccd of this kind of sugar oa the con

fiicbolas Panlovicih, Llid aoo of Paul the First
and Maria Fevdoro»na, was the fifteenth Bovor
e.gn cf ite Komanoif dynasty, if the imperial hia
torians are to be believed. In reality he was the
eighth sovereign of the Holstein-Gotorp dynasty,
the .Romanoff race having become extinct with
Peter 111. The Holsteir.s are oi German do-cunt;
their name is even dllfionlt ot pronunciation to
Russian lips. Nicholas, aware that the Uusoovite
pride would feel but little flattered to own the
aac ed person oi their sovereign to the detested
race of Nemetz, (Germans,) always carefully sup
pressed his real family name. The courtiers maiu
taiued, in spite or ah proof to the contrary, that
the blood flowing in the veins of the Czar was
Russian to the last drop. Golovine, however, in
forms us that the poet rouchktn was ot a contrary
opinion. “Ho had,” says Goiovine, “a habit of
illustrating the nationality or the reigning tumi'y
inawhimdeal manner. Ho would pour into a
vase a glass of pare red wine in honor of Peter I,
whose Russian ori m oould not bo disputed. He
sbocld, justly speaking, have stopped there, and
tamed tho glass upside down, bu', faithful to the
principled the Russian government, which makes
the Gotorps pass for the Romanoffs, he would pour
in another glass—of water—in nonor of Oattarine
11, Princess of Anhalt. This time he should, per
haps, have pourod a glass of wine, but fearing to
compromise himself, would pass on and pour
another glass ot water for Maria Fevdorowuo, the
mother of Nicholas 1; then a fourth lor the reign
ing Empress; and he obtained at last a liquor so
siighUi tinged with red that he would excite a
tenoral laugh when he called upon hie aadienoe to
ecidc ns to whether it was wine or water he was
showing them; and whether, by comparison, the
reigning Czars wero really Russians or Germans."
This Muscovite pleasantry had the merit cf ex
pressing tho exact trnth with reforenc to tho ultra
national prolensions of the Emperor Nicholas.
It is however, curions to remark, by the way,
that in spite of the strong desire of the sons of the
Gotorp race to pass for Romanoffs, they do not
carry it so far as to abandon the titles that bslor g
to them as representatives of the older branch of
Holstein; thus Nicholas invariably added to tne
qualifications attached to the Czarate those of Heir
of Norway, Hoke of Sohleswig, of Stormar, of
Ditmorsen, and Oldenburg.
Nicholas was twenty-nine yeaiß of age when he
came to the throne. Born the year of Catherine’s
•loath, (1796,) he had been educated under the eye
of his excellent mother, the Empress Marie, from
whom ho had derived sound religious instrac.iou
und high moial principle. Childhood had veiled
from him the awful trugedy which closed his fa
ther’s life, and the great wars which terminated
with the burning of tho Kremlin. Wurned by
the example of his brothers, his marriage had been
delayed till he attained his majority, wnou he was
united to Louise Charlotte, daughter of Fredrio
William 111. of Prussia, a lady whose amiable
character and found affection have never bacn
questioned. From the period of hia marriage till
his accession he had, like all members of the royal
family, dovoted himself to military studies. He
lived retired, and spent most of his time in tho
barracks. It does not appear that he derived
much fruit from his perseverance. He never wa3 a
good general, and frequently displayed such want
or skill as to expose him to tho ridicule of his of
ficers. If we are to believe the works of some of
his countrymen, he nearly coaliived to frustrate
the success of his own army in 1828, by his ill
judged interference and injudicouß manoeuvres.
The very day of his accession, the mo-t formid
able revolt that Russia had known since the days
ot Michael Romanoff broke out in tho capital. It
was not formidable by its strength or the skill by
which it was marked; a couple of thousand officers
and men of intellect composed its entire force, and
their plans were wofally detective. But it differ
ed from all former insurrections in its principle.
There had been family quarrels for power, court
intriguss, out bursts of insubordinabon among
the soldiery—this was the first direct blow struck
for popular rights. The aim of Releiof inthenoith,
and Pestol in the south, was to supersede tho auto
cracy of the Czar by a constitutional mouarchy.—
They wanted freedom for themselves and their
fallow countrymen; and though they foresaw that
the struggle might involve tho death of the Czar,
this they regarded as a mero incidental conse
quence, and not the main object of their move
ment. They would have accepted oven Constan
tine, had ho offered them constitutional guaran
tees for their natural rights. An insurrection on
this ground was a new and startling event for
K:t3ia.
On tbe 26th of December, the oath was to be ad
ministered to tho regiments. Instead of s-roar
ing, Boverol abandoned their barracks and inarch
ed to the great square in St. Petersburg, on which
the Btetne of Petor the Great rests, shouting Hur
rah for Ooustantine I They might as well have
shouted hurrah for tbe Pope I so far as their pur
pose went—hat all insurgents must hnveara lying
cry. Confiding his son to a loyal Finnish regi
meat, Nicholas took the command of a lew trusty
battalions, and advauood against the rebels. He
tried again and again to divert them from thei’
purpose; but failing, resorted at last, at nightfall,
to the final expedient of the grape. They wore
neapablo of resisting, and in an hour atter ihe
first cannon shot tho streets were olonrcd,and the
rebellion was quelled. Koleieland several other
leadens were taken, together with Pes'ol, whoJb
movements in t. e sqpth were antieiputod. These
two eminent men—the one a stern ropuhlicsu of
the old Roman school, whose soul knew unswerv
ing from the direct line of principle, and who
thought of nothing but freeing his oountry; the
other a chivalous yoUDg officer, full of nobility,
oloquenco and fire—were hanged, with three oth
ore, on the borders of the Neva. After the drop
had fallen throeoftha ropes broke, -nd the bodies
of the condemned fell heuvily into the gravo al
ready dug »t their feet. “Cursed country,” ex
claimed Keieief, “where peoDle oan neither con
spire, nor judge, nor hang]”' Disabled by their
fall, they were oarried once more to the scaffold,
uni the gray dawn saw their bodios stiffened in
death. Several other conspirators wore sent to
Siberia.
An ominous beginning for a reign. It had as
folded Nicholas an opportunity for the display of
personal courage; olhor qualities were now ro
quirod of him. Like Alexander's, his early reign
promised great things. He gained popularity by
associating freely with hissubjects, and interesting
himself in their welfare. He cut down the expen -
-e. of the Court, and thus relieved the lax payers.
Ho undertook to reform every department ot the
government, and displayed nutiring activity in the
public business.
By the conspiracy of the 85th December the
Emperor had been made aware of the corruption
which had reached all olasses; the bureaux were
full of fraud, theft, and 6very kind of illegality.
Justice was rendered unjuetly, and law was con
stantly eluded. He resolved to be the Justi .An of
his empire.
Sperannki was ffirooted to preparo an official col
lection of the Kussian laws. The archive-—mili
tary, civil and synodal—tbe ukases of the imperial
eabinet, and the judgments of tho different branch
es of the administration, wore put together. All
these materials formed a general colleoti.cn, {So
braaaie ALmu,) oonaisting of thirty nine thousand
nine hundred acts. It is not withont interest to
remark, that In this enormous number thirty thou
sand nine hundred and twenty of these acts were
anterior to the acceaeion of Nicholas; five thouri nd
and seventy-three woro promulgate 1 between I*Bs
and 1088. The Csar, it is seen, alone prodnoed
more laws than several deliberative assemblies.
He himßelf presided at the compilation of the acts
which we have Just spoken of, and wni.h it waa of
course necessary to make agree in all their details.
Already forty-fire quarto volumes of the 'dux l,
or Bnssiau Digest, have been published, and rege
late the Decisions of the Kussian tribunals.
Daring a long period Nicholas passed all his
nights and days in superintending them urdnone
labors, and in bringing them to a satisfactory re
sult, in spite of the dum resistance of tho bureau
crats. His frame soon showed signs of tbe oxoes
sive labor he imposed on himself! bis wife con
stantly pleaded with him for somo relaxation from
his toils. Where he oould detect corruption ho
punished it sevorely. Thus for a year or two ho
did well.
Boon, however, he Btruck upon the rock on
which his brother had fenndered. Instable ambi
tion, traditional thirst for conquest, hurried him
into wars. The taxes rose again. Discontent re
vived. Secret societies were formed. Insurrec
tions broke out in various provinces. Then Po
land, ernshed under the iron heel of Constantine,
made a feeble effort to rear its head. The club of
Nicholas battered it to the earth. Kffeotually to
S revent future complaints, whole provinces were
epopnlated.
The vengeance of Nioholas was pitiless. Every
one remembers the horrible treatment to which
the insurgents wore subjected. Poland was incor
porated with Russia and became a provinoe of the
empire.
Tho retrograde movement was nowin full vigtr.
Secret police—the constant weapon cf despotism—
swarmed in the cities. In his anxie yto keep
down the people, Nicholas lost sight of the vil
lainies to the functionaries. Corruption was never
more universal. Restraints were placed on foreign
travel; and Kussian subjects were forbidden to
publish anything abroad. Fresh levies swelled
the army to a monstrous extent. With a revenue
not exceeding $100,000,000, one million of men
were kept under arms. How anything was left
for those who wero not soldiers is a mystery. It
is almost a wonder how the judges and other pub
lio functionaries could contrive to steal aB they
did. Knowledge was proscribed. In the quaint
words of a verse quoted by a recent writer:
He eaid to the mind,
Goin’o darkaeu 1
And signed It;
Beit so,
Otar Nikolai.
But in truth lie conld do no less. Thore is no
eom promise possible between despotism end in
telligence. Nicholes bed to choose between
erasning ont every spark of intellect end freedom,
end ebendoning bie tkrore. He ohose the former.
The dosneatio virtues which msiked the who'e of
hie cerei r show that he was not a bad man, as Paul
and the Peters were. His immense labcrs for the
codification of the Baasian law prove that he de
-ired the good of bia oooutry. nven his implica
ble and cruel resentment at the delinquencies of
corrupt officers argues a sincere interest in the
popular welfare.
From all that we have seid about Nicholas, it
can be seen that one general idea revnia'ed his pol
icy. Struck by the evils which had buen left him
by hie brother Alexander, he determined to takein
a l tilings the contrary course to that which had
been adopted by bis predecessor. Alexander in
clined toward liberal ideas: Nicholaa showed him
self anti libera! to an excess.
When the poet Ponehkin died, mourning was
universal throughout Bußsia, the Emperor himself
taking part in it. A young man, exciled by the
glorious regrets which this death caused,wrotean
ode in honor of the deceased pcet, and in which
he held out to himself some hopes of becoming, at
a future day, one of the ornaments of Bu«iaa lit
erature. The Csar conld notlook with a favorable
eye upon this audacious young man, who coveted
glory in a oountry where it belonged to the sove
reign alone, and the worshipper of the Muses was
sent to calm the ardor of his imagination beneath
the climate of Tobolsk. He came back at the end
of three years, Bick and entirely disgusted with
poetic glory. Alexander used to t fed to pay no
particular attention to the national language and
customs, and did not conceal his partiality for for
eigners. Nicholas was a fanatic in behalf of the
custom*, language, and religion of Bassia.
Os the external poiioy of Nicholas’ reign and of
the ware in which he engaged, it is not ear inten
tionin thi* brief sketch to apeak. They belong
more properly to the domain of history.
Tba firmly established reputation of the late Cisr
aa a handsome man, imposes on ns the obligation
of giving his portrait Several writers bave under
taken this task, but none among them bas acquit
ted bimaelf ao ably aa the Prince Peter Kolofeki,
for which reason we quote him in preference:
“Nicholas,’ 1 he writes, “baa the noblest face I
pave ever at en in my life- The habit ual expression
of hi* physiognomy has a oertain peveri.y which is
far from putting the beholder at his ease. His
smile is a smile of oomplofstnc*, and not the result
of gaiety or abandon. There is something *p

The personal habits of the Emperor were mark
ed by u>* moat feverish activity, fig would ride,
. wslk, superintend a sham fight, and h-lda review,
ell In the saxno dny. He travelled incessantly,
passed over at least 1,500 leagues every season,
and wore down the strength of all who wore at
tached to his person.
The suddenness of h»s end was to be expected
either from political causes as has frequently been
predicted, cr from sheer physical exhaustion. No
frame could long resist the unnatural amount cf
exer ion, both mental and bodily, to which this
extraordinary man snfjiCted himself. He was in
hie 1 9th year at the date of his death.
The Czar is succeeded by his eldest son, Alexan
der Ctssrovitch, Hereditary Grand Duke. Ho

April, 1851, Maria, daughter of the late Grand
Duke Louis 11., cf Hesse, by whom he has four
sons.
WMselrode.
Count Charles Robert Nesselrode, Chancellor of
tho Russian Empire, and Minister of Foreign Af
fairs, wa» born on tho 14th December, 1780, in
L ; sbon, whore his lather, at the time, wee accred
ited as Russiau Ambassador. The Nesselrode
family is of German origin, and lived formerly on
the lower Rhine. At an early age, Nesselrode de
voted biinsolf to the study of diplomacy. In ISO 2
he was attached to the legation in Berlin. In 1805
ho went ai» Secretary of Legation to Holland, and
in 1807, as Counsellor of the Russian Legation to
Paris. His decided abilities soon gained him the
confidence of the Emperor Alexander. In the
war of Russia against France, he concluded the
treaty of Breslau, on tfie 19:h of March, 1818.
With Mettemicb, he drew up the preliminaries of
the treaty of Toplitz between Russia and Austria.
Iu the campaign ot 1814, he followed the Emperor
to France, and signed, on the Ist of March, at
Chauinont, the act of the quadruple alllanoe. In
the famous night of the 80tn of March, assisted by
Count Orlow, he stipulated the conditions ot the
surrender of the oity of Paris with Marshal Mat
mout. He signed all notes and declarations ot the
Allied Powers, and also the reaco of Paris, on the
30th of May, 1814. In all these transactions, his
opinion was regarded as of great weight and im
portance. At the Congress of Vienna, as pleni
potentiary, he acted a most prominent part. On
the 18th of March, 1816, he signed the aot of the
Amee, which prouounoed banishment against the
Emperor Napoleon. He accompanied the Emperor
Alexander to the Cougressos of Aix la-Chapelle,
Troppau, Laibach, and Verona, and distinguished
himself, on all occasions, as a very active man of
business.
Nicholas, like Alexan ler, placed implioitcor.fi
dence in Nesselrode, and granted him in 1886 a
considerable donation as a reward for his services.
Under his reign, Nesselrode, as a statesman and
diplomatist, succeeded in scouring to tho internal
and foreign policy of Russia a progressive impor
tance. The treaty of Hunkiar-Skcleesi; tha pre
ponderating influence of Russia upon the affairs of
the newly established kingdom of Greece; and
the treaty of July, 1840, are principally the results
ot his diplomatic activity. In 1848 and *49, Nes
selrode’s policy was to keep aloof from the distrac
tions whioh convulsed Europe, until the defeat of
Austria offered him an opportunity to atltaob, as
ho supposed, this treacherous empire to the inter
ests ot Russia. About the same time he availed
himself very dexterously of the insurrection whioh
broke out against the Forte, in the Danubian Prin
cipalities, in securing wider Bcope by the treaty of
Balia-Liman, to the inflnenoo of the Czar,
After tho convulsions of 1849, the aim of Nessel
rode’s policy was to strengthun the alllanoe of the
eastern powers, with a view of securing the peace
of Europe. In this last oriental question, NessoJ
rode, sinco tho commencement ot the difficulties,
represented in St. Petersburg the principle mode
ration aud poace. On all occasions he has proved
himself a most dexterous and experienced dip’o
inatist and politician. He occupies, in this respect,
by far the lettiest position amongst the European
statesmen of the present day. Tho Emperor
Nicholas, constantly evinced the deepest respect
for the opinions of Nesselrode, and has acknow
ledged his gratitude to the veteran statesman by
elevating him to the highost honors. Nesselrode,
at this moment, is the most important man in the
empire of Russia. Upon him devolves the immense
respoi sibility of leading tho ship of State—toss3d
about in the most terrific tempest that ever raged
on the political noriaoD of Europe—-into safe har
bor. His old and trembling band will have to
grasp the holm, whioh the strangely sudden death
of Nicholas leaves exposed to the fury of half a
world in arms. To Nesselrode* therefore, all eyes
turn in anxious expectation.-— Phila. North Ameri

To tha Eiitorot the Baltimore Patriot: —Besides
the seventceeu year locusts, Uioada Saptemdeiim ,
already announced in tho Pat-iot to appear this
Spring in Massachusetts, Eastern Shore ol Mary
land, from Baltimore to Carlisle, Pa., a portion of
Kentucky, and a portion of Western Virginia,
thcr> will be several extensive districts of tbe
Southern lamily of Locusts that will appear this
Spring. These Southern loonets only require
thirteen years to oompiete their existence, and their
name, I suppose, should be Qwoia Tridecim, I
hava on my Register tha location and dates of ten
dis riots of this family, some of them very large
and one or two very small. Tbs districts that
will be occupied this year by them,aro as follows;
South Ca olina—Chester and adjoining districts,
extending into North Carolina,
Georgia—in Newton, Cobb, Coweta, Carroll,
Heard, Meriwether, Campbell, Fayette, DeKalb,
Gwinnette, and Murray oounties.
Alubama—in Greene, Sumpter, #nd Marengo
counties.
Louisiana—in Union, Caddo, Claiborne and
Washita parishes.
Mississippi—about Jackson, »nd probably all
adjoining parts of the State.
Arkansas—in Union, Lafayette, Hempstead and
Saline counties.
Tennessee—from Nashville to the Mississippi
river, and extending into a portion of Southwes
tern Kentucky, prob«bly as far np as Louisville.
In tbe extreme South the insects begin to appear
about the 6th of April, and some may appear by
the Ist of that month. Their appearance is later
and latoras we come North, about a week for eve
ry hundred miles, until tbe most Northern will
appear from the Ist to tho 10th of May, I should
no very glad'if persons in tbe South where the
locuata appear this year would inform m i
of tho faot, stating tho oxact t me of their first
apporance, and the oounties occupied by them.
There is no differeuco whatever between tbe
Southern locusts and the Northern inseo's, except
in tbe time occupied by them in completing their
existence.
Tbe districts of the Northern loensts extend far
into tho territory of the Bonthern in many place.-;
and so do those of the South extend far up into
the Northern territory, interlocking and lapping
over each other for more than a hundred miles.
This has caused great confusion in tracing ont the
truo history of the insects, and the family and dis
tricts to which each visitation belonged. North
Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas appear to bo

The Soule tbrrnpoolem*.
Washington, March 20, 1865.—Th0 executive
document embraoing “ correspondence teaching
matters disturbing ths friendly relations between
this governmentaud tho government of Spain, also
a report as to the object of the American ministers
at Oatcnd,” has been printed, forming a volume
of 152 pages. Most of them have before seen tbe
light through the medium of tha newspapers, but
1 find seme others of great importance wbioh were
not hitherto publish.d. These embrace the cor
respondence between Mr. Ferry, who was ebarge
of affkirs during Mr. Soule’s absence on tbe con
ference, and tbe Spanish Minister of State, Mr.
Pacheco, and two letters from Mr. Perry to Mr,
Maroy. I presume this is the “supplementary
correspondence ” which a New Tork paper sup
poses to have been snppressed or withheld.
It seems that Mr. Perry, on the ITtb September,
communicated to Mr. Maroy the important faet
that the Spanish Minister of State for Foreign Af
fairs had made a formal proposition for tbe estab
lishment of a mixed commission, to ait at Madrid,
for the adjudication and final settlement of all
claims involving private interests now pending be
tween the United States and Spain reciprocally,
taking for a model the convention concluded be
tween tbe United States and Great Britain on the
sth itebrnary, 1851, for a similar purpose, and oom
premitting the Spanish government to carry into
full effect snd exeouliox a like arrangement with
regard to all our existing differences ot that nature.
This proposition was also forwarded by Mr. Per
ry to Mr. Scale, who was at Aix La Cbapelle. Mr.
Soule, in his reply, dated October 18, threw oold
water on the proposition. Mr. Perry conld not
comprehend Mr. Soule’s objections, and submitted
them to Mr. Marcy, But tbe wisdom of tbe Cabi
net has probably been exerolsed in vain unon that
point, and Mr. Perry » evidently left in the dark.
But tbe proposition of tbe Spanish government
probably met with more consideration at Wash
ington than at A'X La Chapelle or Ostend; and
hence Mr. Marcy’s letter of November 19th to Mr.
Soule.— Correapondence M tUvmort Sun,

when be had a lino, a oonplet or a atanaa polished
to bia wind he would go to a little summer honse
near by, and writs it down. He used to think
ten linos a good day’s work, and wonla keep the
little poem by him for weeks, waiting for a single
word. On ono ooeaaion he was riding with Mr.
Moure, in scab, in Harm, and the driver carelessly
drove into a bole in the pavement, whioh gave
the vehicle a trernendona jolt. Moore was tossed
aloft, and on regaining his seat, exclaimed, “By
Jove! I've got it.” “Got what!” said his com
panion, in some alarm. “My word,” was tbe re
ply. “ I bave been trying for it Ibeee aix weeks,
acd now that rascal has jilted it ontof me-” On
reaebing bia room, Moore inserted tbe word, and
immediately dispatched the finished song to tbe

“Ishall do everything to give you satisfaction.”
“ Will you, madam,” cried tbe Baronet, and ring

Wool Tasux.—The consumption of wool, of late
years, has increased very rapidly in England and
on the continent. The British woolen manufacture
now stands next to the ootton manalactnre, and
employs one hundred and fifty millions of dollars
of British capital; and the preduet forma more
than a fourth part of British textile manafsotnres.
Down to 1814 be British imported forty millions
of pounds of wool, mostly from Bpsin; then they
procured it from Germany ; and wlth n a few years
immense supplies have bean derived from Austra
lia. It was predicted and feared that the gold
dtsoevenes would diminish the prodnet in thia
ooantry, but thia has not been tho owe. Here ore
the imports from Australia in 1651 and 1868:

Railroad Convention nl Grilßn.
We find in the Griffin Union ol 17th inst., a fall
aooount of the proceedings of a convention held
in that place on the 14th, to oonsider the project
of oonetrncting a Railroad from Covington—via
McDonough, Griffin, Greenville and Hamilton—
to this city. Speaking of the convention, the
Editor of the Union says:
“This body, wbioh assembled here on Wednes
day last, gave assurance, both in the character of
i's members end the earnestness of its delibera
tions, of a determination to prosecute the enter
prise of a Railroad from Covington to Colnmbns
to completion. We have raro'y met with a more
intelligent, onergotio and determined set of men
than those who composed the delegations from
Harris, Meriwether and Heffry."
Wo regret tnat Mnscogee oounty was not repre
sented by a regularly appointed delegation—an
omission which, we think, oan not be justified in
view of the important interest that not only onr
city, but tho county generally, has in the contem
plated project. And whatever may be the views
of oar people as to the practicability or polioy of
undertaking the enterprise in qnestion, it eeoms

Me*»AOHtrsiT» Bret* Pnmox.—The annual re
port ot the Board of Inspectors of the Massachu
setts State Prison, has been laid before the Legisla
ture, together with the annual reports of the
warden end other officers of the institution. The
number of convicts in the prison on the Ist day of
Ootober, 1959, was 191. Daring the year Bucosed

leaving 481 conviota on the Ist day of October,
ISM. Os these 4SS, two were fifteen years of age,
and one hundred and forty eight were from sixteen
to twenty years. Only five were only sixty, and of
these but one was seventy years old. Larceny,
shop-breaking, burglary and houeo breaking were
the er : mes for wbiuh moat of them were commit
ted. The average term of imprisonment on the
Ist October last was about four years. Fifteen
were oomraited for one year, sixty-eight for two
years, eighty-three for three years, forty-six for
four years and sixty-three for five years. There
was one person committed for the term of thirty
yeora, one for thirty-five, and twenty-five were
oentenood to drag oat their long remaining years
of life within the gloomy walls. Os the whole
number, one hundred and eighty-throe, or about
two-fifths, were natives of MassnohuaetU, and
ninety, or about one-fifth, natives ot Ireland.
Thirty-six were born in New York, thirty in Eng

Os Missouri has just passed a bill authorising the
oonutruotion of a bridge serous the Mlealsaippi at
the above named city, in whiob measure it has
been anticipated by the Legislature of Illinoia. It
is an important step, in which all the States are
more or less interested. The distance from the
Missouri shore at Bloody Island is set down at
about 100 yards, and ss iapsuaion bridge over Ibis

which is verging thither will be satisfied with s

Worms Mobuok With The Mormon editor
of the Deseret News thus tells tha good people of
Christendom how strangers can become ingratia
ted:
“If a gentleman wishes to aasooiate with our
females, let him repent and be bspi ned for the
remission of sins. But this aione will net insure
his success, for many have submitted themselves
to the ordinance of baptism and have aided
damation to themselves by hypocritically bowing
to oartain rites and ceremonies with motive
other than to glorify God and save themselves
from tnis untoward generation. Let these go
forth and preach the gospel to the ns
tions, like the Mormon Elders, without “ purse
or scrip.” Lot them be mobbed, tarred and
feathered, and whipped a few times for Christ’s
sake, and not for their own tollies; and return
after a few years’ labor, claar in conscience,
pure in heart, and unspot’ed from the world.
If they can do iheae things, and endure, thev
may begin to associate with our females, and s-ek
among them a companion and partner for tho life
that row is, and for that wbloh is to come.”
This opeas a field for enterprising young men
not to be found in every part of the world. If the
Mormon ladies insist upon such demonstrafons of
,ove and purity. >t is no wonder that polygamy is a
part of their religion, for their “true lovers” must
of necessity be scarce, unless those ladies are far
more attractive than those of other denominations.
British “Asnxzition” ui Ixdu.—The Shipping
Gazette thus describes the last British acquisition
in India.
This recent, acquisition gives to our Indian em
pire possession of the whoie seaooast from the
Indus to JunkcayloD, or the Island of Salanga,
and, with bnt s small interruption, British territory
is extended on from thence to tbs island of Singa
pore—an immense sweep of territory, reaching
from the 87th degree of east longitude to the 108th
degree. The important rivers Irrawaddy, Moutta
ma and Menan, and their numerous branches dis
enarging themselves in the gulfs of Martaban and
Biam, open up communication with an immense
eaten’ of oountry, the products and commercial
capabilities of which are as vet quite unknown.
Tha population of Bnrmsh has boon usually esti
matad at 8,000,000, exclusive of the provinces
oeded to the British— namely: Arrsonn, con tain
lug shout 800,000, and Tavoy, ktergi i, <fco., another

lages of ibe Barman empire, are said to be about
6,000. Tna towns of lungoon, i’ega and Proms
are most important pose easterns, as situated on tbc
principal branches of the Irrawaddy, end ooin
manning, therefore, the wb»lo exterior trade es the

an interior frame with China, the Shana, and Siam,
by the rivers or by caravans.
The ” Telegraph ” on the Admlutairauon.
Oar ootemporury of <he Macon Telegraph con
fesses himself a prey to “unmitigated aiii.rul and
mortification,” and we think ho might have added
'uuintngated ratio, 11 on the occasion of the in'.®
a PP°*hlmjnt of Judge Lumpkin ns com :n io- er
ot the new conrt of oiaime. He devo.ee wcli nigh
* „ c< " aiun 1° his severe strictures upon this so

.hue passing over the vlaims of the laithfni Domo
orooy, and, in diront violation of the tvo.ln pnnoi
pio, elevating to office the enomiee of the Admin*
istration rather than its friends.
Wo hardly know how to at’cmptto effir conso
lation to our worthy onlemporary in this his season
of bitter regret and disappointment. The case as
made by him is so utterly boyoud and vdihouttho
pale of ordinary eymputby that wo greatly fear ho
would refuse to becouitorle 1 by any ihiugwooould
say. We might refer him to the Atlanta Examin
er, in whose sympathetic ooadolence ho may find
strength to boar np under Ibis overwhelming
calamity ; or to our more philosophical neighbor
of the Times & Boutin-.1, who, on finding thedoed
accomplished and beyond recall, found strong
grounds of solace in the several facts—that the
President had shown a oommondabie liberaliiy
that the balanco was two to one in lavor of the
Democracy—that Judgo Lumpkin potsersad the
requisite ability and character—and, lastly, in the
important consideration that “in the fierce contest
of 1850 the Whig appointee wes u bold i-tni uu
oompromisiug advocate of Bouthoru U.gilts.”
Now, wo submit it to our Macon neighbor whether
there is not much in tlio sbovo considerations to
assuage the poignanoy of bis regret, and to conn
eel that pious res guation whioh so well beths the
disappointed— particularly in those cases whoro
agitation and loud complaint only make matters
woree.
The Telegraph finds grounds of strong reproba
tion of the Pres dent’s course in that “out dele
gation, or at least so much of it as is £kmocratic
had no intimation of tlio appointment until tlie
thing was consummated.” Now, to oar mind
this only demonstrates the necessity—which seem’
cd to be fully reoognisted by the President—ol not
etting the left baud kuow what Ibo right. d< eh,

impulses of conservatism and thwart the nobler
purposes of an onlightoncd patriotism. Bo weak

Our dolorous Iftond, in the extremity of bin
ohagrin, oont&nds that if a JVAiy must needs have
been appointed, “ifco Pt os it! out should have made
diligent eoaroh throughout evert) qommonvealth in
th* Union before casting his eye upon the public
men of Georgia.” Has it thou come to this i lias
the Telegraph booorno bo deeply immersod in the
slimy pool of party rancor, as to openly prefer the
elevation of tho bitterest and moat unrelenting
foes to us and oar interests, ovor that ol tho best
and pnroat ot our own true Southern men the
head and front of whose offending is included in
tho reproach of being • vkigs? Wnoie now is the

must needs bo filled by appointment from Gov.
Johnßon, who is n Democrat, and will probably
soon be a candidate for re election, —thus being
forood by the Administration into a position
t where it is almost impossible lor him to act with
out exciting dissatisfaction and discontent.” Here
again tho Telegraph had bettor take cotnlort at.d
courage from the houost and atraight-forwavd
suggestion of our neighbor of the Timet, and with
tho latter join in urging upon oar S ute Executivo
tho propriety of carrying out in good frith the
agreement made at the organization ot tho Court
touching the division of the honors between the
two panies, and boldly eonnsolling tho appoint
ment of a Whig to that office. By port mug tbiß
manly course, too, the Telegraph and the Governor
both will tako tho surost method to uvont dis-sit a
faction among all honor&bio, right thinking men,
and demonstrate that there is Blill lon in tlio
Democratic party some degree of good faith and
consistency which has not been sacrificed ut the
shrine of an inexorable partisan spirt.
