AMERIcANs IN Russia. Most of our readers,
says the Philadelphia U. s. Gazette, know
that our townsmen Messrs. Harrison & Est
wick, in connection with Mr.. Winans, Of Bal
timore, contracted with the Emperor ofRussa
to make large number of locomotive engines,
for the great railroad extending across Russia,
in Europe. These gentlemen, Immediately
after the contract was formed, went to Russia,
they, and their wives, and their little ones, and
entered upon the discharge of their impor-
tant duties. We are glad to learn, (and we
are sure that many Of our readers will share
in the pleasure that the contractors are rapid
ly meeting their engagements, and give salts
faction to the high contracting power. The
following is an extract of a letter from one of
the parties. 1t is dated Alexandrofsky, rus
STA, Oct. 8, 1874:
sour work is moving on with much activity.
We have more than eight hundred men en-
ployed, and you may imagine we have enough
to look after. Our material from England is
rapidly arriving, and more than one half of all
we require, until the opening Of the navigation
next year, is already stored at the workshop.
made purchases, whilst in England, of mate
rails amounting to over one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. This you will think israther an
expensive business, but our undertaking is a
large one, and requires large supplies, and COM
pared with which our small operations appear
small indeed. Every thing now seems to in
dictate that we shall be able to complete our
work, large as it is, and that it will be profta-
BILE to us when finished Our contract with
the Government now exceeds three millions of
dollars, and are now urged to make other work
for the government amounting to nearly mil
lion and baltimore. This we shall most like
" agree TO do, so that we shall have work
enough We are now on the verge of winter
again. and soon shall have every thing locked
up with ice and snow. We had a slight fall
of snow, (the first of the season,) three days
ago, but it did not amount to much, and it is
now warm again. We have not had frost

Genttemen:-l sincerely regret that my du-

you, agreeaby to your kind invitation, at the
Sabbath Convention, to be held at Baltimore
on Wednesday next hope for great blessings
TO follow this movement in behalf of the Sab
bath day. and my earnest prayer to God is,
that His spirit may be present with you, and
guide all your deliberations to the happiest re-
suits. lie has written the solemn truth, on tho
whole line of his Providence, as we'll as on the
pages of his word, that the people who despise
his Sabbaths, must suffer his f'owns. May we
be enabled TO bring the claims of this holy day
of mercy and privilege near 10 the consideration
and earnest regard of our fellow citizens. When
they shall esteem it a delight and honorable,
then may we hope for prosperity in larger mea-
sures than ever before. With great respect,

And allow me, in the view of these facts, to
congratulate you, and the members of the con-
vention generally, upon the progress which has
already been made ia various parts OF our
country, in restoring the sanctity of the Sab
bath; and also upon the increasing attention
to its proper observance by all classes, particu-
arly by that portion of the lahoring classes,
who have been engaged in the conveyance of
passengers and of the public mails and i'll the
navigation of our rivers and canals.
Bishop Porteus says the Sabbath is the bull
wark of poverty against the encroachments of
capital. And many who have heretofore been
employed to run stages and steamboats,, or to
labor on our canal and railroad lines upon the
Sabbath, are beginning TO learn and to feel that
capitalists are dePriving them not only of their
religious privileges, but also of civil privileges
enjoyed by others. These men are compelled
to labor seven days in u week for the support
of themselves and their families which sup
port is in fact but the fair wages of six days
labor. For the seventh dag is given to the la
boring man by the laws of his country, as we'll
as by his beneficent Creator, as day Of rest.
A day to be enjoyed the bosom of his family,
and in attendance upon the institutions Of re-
ligion, in which the temporal as we'll as the
eternal welfare of himself and his children is
50 deeply concerned.
"Hail, blessed Sabbath thee hail the poor mans day;
On other days the man of toll is doomed
To spend his eyless hours away from those he loves"
And trust that manyef the class of the men
of toll to which have before REFERRED when
they thus see the gross injustice as well as the
sntulness OF their thus being deprived of the
civil and religious privileges Of this blessed day,
by the encroaohments of capital, will make up
their minds to resist such injustice for the future
May the reform which has commenced con-
tinue to progress. And may you and your as
sociates in the convention, and all others en-
gagged in this purely benevolent work, perse-
we're IN your eyertons for the entire sanctfica-
ton of the Sabbath; until nothing but the
sound of the church-going bell the voice of
the messenger of salvation, and the accents Of
prayer and of praise, shall break upon its holy
stiffness throughout the whole length and
breadth Of this highly favored land.
! am, with respect and esteem, yours, &C.,

it was understood that Il coalition be.
tween the Wings and the Native A.

the Democrats would have TO battle
with both parties combined.
"The consequence, as may be east
ly predicted, was the complete revo-
throw Of the Democratic party in the
county, where it has triumphed for so
many years; and the success of the
Native candidates, who have elected
two Congressman, at least, and their
Legislative ticket, and by their aid
given a large majority in the city and

BOWfing-Green,~.. Nov. o. ESll.

The election is over, and all passed off
quietly. The most perfect good humor
seemed TO prevail during both days. The
Democrats raised a poll a little taller than
exer was gazed on by coon or loco in
these parts. The wings tried hard TO
Guido us, but we Poked Ii flag so far
above Harry, that they gave it up in dis
pair, Just as they will be compelled TO
give up all attempts TO elevate him TO
the Presidency:

cation of thef forces, and the closest VI
GLANCE of heir several committees and
sub-comnittees, throughout the county,
have ~s.cceeded by a small majority over
JUS. They now lead us 50 votes only.
which shows a Democratic gain OF Al
over the aggregate wing majority in Au-
gust. We however expected to do bet
ter even than this, and the reasons WY
we did not, are easily given The De-
mocracy of old Pike--it is a humiliatino
admissiSD, nevertheless it is true-were
so sure of the victory that they neglect
ed to adopt anything like asystem of or
organization, by which to bring ont and
concentrate the whole strength of the
party. We had no committees Of visi-
lance, to search out and urge to the polls,
the lukewarm and don't-care much-how-
it-goes class of voters. We had no cleo
pioneering tracts to deceive the uhwa-
ry-and we would not have used them
if we had-it would have been purchas-
ing the victory al too high a price. Not
so with u opponents. They had all
sorts of nets spread to catch voters.
They went upon the principle that all
is fair in politics. In proof of this, we
will cite one instance, that came under
our own observation. In the early part
of the first day of the election, in this
precinct, we noticed a very respectable
member of the Clay Club, reading 10 a
solitary auditor, from what we took to be
a Coon tract. We approached them, and
found at once, that we we're right in our
conjecture. The reader was just clos
ing the charge against Mr.. Polk, that he
voted against a resolution in Congress, 10
give thirty cords of wood 10 the poor o.
Georgetown. We felt Indignant at the
attempted deception, and asked the gen.
tleman to tell the whole story. how this
same James X. Polk preferred to bestow
the charity out of his Owl means, and
not out of the public treasury, and voted
for a resolution, that the Sergeant at
Arms should purchase wood and deduct
it out of the pay of the members Our
worthy wing appeared somewhat abash-
ed at being thus exposed in the presence
of his fancied convert. But he discov-
ed that we had fairly blocked the game
on him, and he pocketed his tract, and
we saw no more oft that day. tits scarce
ly necessary to add, that the gentleman,
on seeing the imposition attempted to
be passed upon him, voted sor Mr.. Polk.
Such are some of the means used by the
wings to gain their points. 1t is howe
yer but acting in obedience to their cd
watch wcrd-'We stoop to conquer"
