London jS undnrd Letter.] A grand inspection of tbs garrison at St. Petersburg by tiie Emperor took place this morning at about eleven o'clock. From an early hour the troops begun arriving, aud by tun o’clock were mussed iu the large open space opposite Uie l’nlace, down the Nuvski, aud along the great Moskowa street. It was difficult to judgo of the number, us one could not get upon any vunlugc ground to look down, but 1 be lieve that about 50,000 troops were pres ent. The general public betrayed no in terest whatever iu the inspection. Those who happened to bo passing when the Emperor came along paused, but there was no crowd whatever, even upon the footpath, where nlone the public were permitted to stand. This apathy was principally due to the fact that inspections of troops are not uncommon, partly also to the tact that the thermome ter was only u few degrees above zero. This last fact, however, can not count for much, as on (Sundays one may see thousands of spectators standing in the cold for hours watching the trotting races on the Neva. Ouo can only assume, therefore, Unit the Russian public do not eare*for military spectacles. And yot the sight was well worth seeing. The solid masses of infantry, the heavy squadrons of cavalry, and the strong force of artil lery, to say nothing of Uie preseuce of Emperor himself and his stall' iu the very heart of tiro town, would have attracted a large assemblage in any city iu Europe. The stall' officers were hII in their new uniforms—a gray greatcoat, with a helmet utmost idunlilicd with that of the Prus sians. Thu regimental officers also had the gray great coats, but their lioad-gear resembled that of their regiments. All tire men wore their great coats which detracted much from the gayety of the scene. The Emperor and bis staff were all dressed alike in the new uni form, and their absence of bright colors and waving plumes made the scene a very dull one in compari son with a review upon the same scale —1 will not say in England, because we could not collect the troops—but in Franco or Italy. The Emperor simply rode down the front of the masses of men. There was no music played, but the troops presented arms, and each regiment as lie passed at the word of command, gave a cheer. It was a short, sharp cheer, in three syllables—the first long, then a pause, then two short sylaliles run into one. I have a high idea of Uie Russian army, but it is impossible to say Uiat they looked smart. The scabbards of the cav alry, their spurs, the brass huts of their pistols, the bits of their horses, were all dull aud dingy. Iu no case could the cav alry have approached iu appearance the men of our own army ; ttie lances of the lancer regiiueut, for example, are almost as thick as tent poles, and the flags are clumsy aud badly fwsteuad on. Theu, too, under their caps, which are In the shape of the French kepis, the lancers w ear a sort of black pad. coming down over the ears and fastened under the | chin —excellent, no doubt, for warmth, but scarcely adding to appearance. The artillery, too, are very lightly horsed, and the whole harness and equipment is of dingy black, altogether unrelieved by any metal whatever. The guns are of very light colored bronze, and are polished to an extent which would he most objectionble inaction. Iu point of material, nothing could be more excellent thuu the Russian army; but they certainly have no advantages iu the way of appear ance. The men evidently suffered a good deal from the time they bad |to remain formed up in the cold. They were, however, a lowed wbeu standing at ! ease to jump as they pleased, and the re sult was a perpetual Imhliing up and down, w hich had a curions ctlect Wonderfully 1 good tempered and full of fun are they.— , 1 noticed un artillery regiment iu the j Nevski atier the Ktupcror hail ptlssed. ; The men were ohlered to dismount, and some of them could scarcely walk, so numbed were their feet from the add. In j a short time, bewever, all fell to work ' wrestling and buffettmg each ether in a way very funny to a looker on, and with much laughing and fun the men succeeded in restoring the susj-cudcd circulation.

It was admitted ou every hand yesterday that this paper had a wealth of telegraphic news. The full details of the hanging of Fos ter in New York, including every sylable of the slightest interest to the public, was the leading feature The exclusive features of our telegrams consisted in (heaven save the mark) the fight now going on between the battalions of Jeff Long on the oue side and Whitely and Stone on the other over Georgia offi ces The refusal of the Massachusetts Legislature to rescind its resolution of cent sure of Mr. Charles Sumner for his eflbr to have the name of battles fought between Americans stricken from the standards ol America. The great riot at Wolverham ton between six thousand Englishmen and Irishmen. And lastly the Arm aud hold stand taken by the Northern Methodist Church for “the eternal prohibition of the liquor traffic.” We were compelled to leave out half column of other interesting telegrams in consequence of the paper being too snial to hold them.

HOW HE READ THE GOVERNOR'S LETTER — HE CRITICISES IT, BUT IT KILLS HIS HOPE —“ I ONLY STRUCK HIM ONCE ” —THE JURORS’ LAST APPEAL. New York Herald, March 19th.] William Foster, for whom but forty eight hours of life remain, was visited yes terday, as usual, in his cell by the few friends whom he consents to receive, aud passed a day of comparative calm ; at least it was an outward calm, and the world may never know how vast an ocean of thought rolled through his brain and billowed against his heart as memory pic tured to him the erring past and imagina tion wrought before him in mystic outline the supernatural, shadowy future. The doomed man arose from his bed at about six o’clock, aud shortly afterward partook sparingly of a meal of light food which bad been prepared for him by Mrs. Fos ter, the kind matron of the prison. Among HIS FIRST VISITORS were his wife and Rev. Dr. Tyng. Shortly after Dr. Tyng’s arrival, Foster read the morning papers; his attention be ing directed first, and in all probability exclusively, to Governor Dix’s letter sta ting the grounds upon which His Excel lency denies to interpose his prerogative of clemecy. Foster criticised the Gov ernor’s letter very closty, aud disputed some of its assertions. “ There, you see,” said lie, “ he says I struck Putnam two blows,but I only struck him once. I did not striko him a second time !” And so the unhappy man wen on to argue his hopeless case when thert was no tribunal to hear, and his appeal had already passed ineffectual before the judgment seats of men. Tho general im pression to-be gained from bearing him as be reviewed (be Governor’s opinion was that be felt all hope gone and that the letter w as the fiat of his fate. Foster’s appeiite has noticeably failed within tbe past week, and since last Sat urday and Sunday he has apparently been SINKING IN PHYSICAL STRENGTH as well as in fortitude. The opinion expressed by officials about the Toombs— by those who see the man daily—is that ho is failing so fast in nerve that some difficulty may, perhaps, be experienced in carrying out tbe sentence on Friday. He is depressed in tbe extreme, uud constant meditation upou tbe terrors of his position seems to be breaking him down without his consciousness of the fact. Ou Satur aud Sunday he encouraged the hope in some degree that the final appeal to the Governor which was alluded to in the Herald of Sunday, aud which was pre sented yesterday to the Governor by Judge Pierrepont, would have effect in bis favor ; but the Governor’s close reasoning in his letter ou the question of the VALIDITY OF THE PETITION of the jurors has almost dispelled the last vestige oft that hope. Sheriff Brennan and warden Johnston each called upou the doomed man yester day and conversed with him for a short time, and did the comparative little that lay in thoir power to lift with words of kindness the cloud of gloom that hovers over his miud, aud the prisoner’s brothers also were with him for several hours. A recent medical writer says : “Sleep whenever you can; in the cars—any where when you get a chance—the great want of the age is sleep. This is not always safe advice to follow, as a Lawrence gen tleman knows to his sorrow. He was rcceutly afflicted with a bad cold, and to cure himself of it resorted to the method of bathiug his feet iu warm water, and drinking a tumbler full of gin and molas ses, prescribed by an aged aud respected friend of tbe family. Having got every thing in order for carrying out the pre scription, he sat down by the stove, his pedal extremities immersed in warm water, a. tumbler of smoking gin and molasses by his side. In this condition, 4 sense of enjoyment stole over him as he sipped the exhiliarating liquid, and he fell asleep. His wife had gone to bed, aud on awakening, about three o'clock in the morning, woudered why she was aloße. Going down stairs, she was horrified to find her liege lord asleep in the chair, the fire out, his feet immersed in the water, over which a cake of ice was formed, and an empty tumbler on the chair beside him. His cold isn't a bit better. ♦♦ On dtt, that wlieu Miss Nellie Grant was in London,D israeli was asked wheth er he thought the American Princess pretty ? “Ican t say," replied the author ot Lothair, •• for I have only seen her once. She was then sitting between General Schenks two daughters, and 1 thought s be had some indirect claim to good looks.’ The Dalton Citizen gives tlio richest amount of a lute burglary, that we have read in many a day : r I he boldest speci men of burglary yet spread upon the rec ord of events of our city, occurred Monday nigLt. The store-room of Tibb & Mad dox was entered, about 12 o'clock, through the Iront door, as is supposed, by a party of thieves. The exact extent of the theft committed is not yet khown; but from the jeweler’s table of Mr. Maddox, was taken three valuable watches, aud an ineffectual raid made upou the money. The sale was H ill A Co.’s Combination Lock, and wllulUu use ofa large crowbar, chisels, punches, eic . they failed to effect an entrance. They rolled the safe some thirty yards outside through the back door, knocked the combinations and bandies off of the safe, the result of which is tbe par ties themselves cannot get iu the safe, where they have some six hundred dol lars or more deposited. The Rev. George C. Harding, accord ing to the Louisville Courier Journai, is one of the most remarkable men of the age. Regularly once or twice a year he starts anew Sunday paper at Indianapolis. As soon as the enterprise bankrupts him he gees to fjt. Louis or Cincimiatti and Connects himself with ene of the daily papers there. And then, when he gets money enough to pay his railroad fare lie goes back to Indianapolis aud starts another Sunday paper. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS PIALiSTON HAIjIj. TWO NIGHTS ONLY!
