SECRETARY MARCY's LETTER TO HULsE-
MANN.-Secretary Marcy's letter to Hulsc-
Manu. in the Kosta affair and difficulty, APP
pear in a paper of this morning. After
full and elaborate review of the whole affair
and a definition of the qualities requisite
for an adopted citizen to claim protection
from the United States he concludes as fol-
lows:
The president does not see sufficient cause
Cor disayowing the acts of the American
agent which are complained of by Austria.
Her cl aim for satisfaction on that account
has been carefully considered, and is re-
spcctfully declined. Being convinced that
the seizure and imprisonment of Kosta
were illegal and unjustiable, the president
declines to give his consent to this demand
after a full examination of the case as here
in presented lie has instructed the un-
dcrsigned to communicate to Mr.. Hulsc-
mann his confident expectation that the
emperor of Austria will take the proper
measure to cause NJ Kosta to be restored
to the same condition he was in before he
was seized in Smyrna on the "a Of June
last. Signed, W. L. MARCf.

As to the poor black, Philip, he went Over
to Mr.. Grovesnor, and prevailed on him tt
allow him to remain there until he could
return. He made no complaint, but merely
stated that appeared to be much occupied
to be able to give him instruction, 81 that he
did not like to intrude. The family were
much surprised at the step of Phillips and
demonstrated; but candidily told them that

Wisconsin Farms.

For several years zeal estate has been
very low in Western Wisconsin. Until
quite recently. lands have been in little
demand. Few sales have been made.
ard those few scarcely covering cost and
| improvements. Several causes for this
depression might be named; successive
failures of the wheat crop, uncertainty of
demand for surplus products, or want of
markets. and the discovery Of gold in
California. During the past year, how
ever, each OF the causes that corspired
to our INJURY has turned in our favor
The yield of wheat has been excellent
Railroads are in progress in our midst,
and the balance of exchange between
Wisconsin and California is largely in our
favor The result is, confidence in real
estate has been restored, business has re-
vived and al classes are contented.
There can be no better evidence of in
creasing confidence, than an upward ten
dency of real estate. Two wears ago.
a majority of our farmers wanted to sell
out. now they are as willing to hold on
and drive ahead, improve their lands, e.
rect barns and houses and get rich
Land is still low, but we do not believe
the time will ever be, when it can be had
so cheap. We are as well satisfied that
lands will double and triple in few
years, as that two and two MAKE four
The basis of calculation is re!iable-the
laws of supply and demand. and of COM

than the upward tendency Of zeal estate
in Western Wisconsin.

porting our trade, the 'annihilation OF dis
lance between New York and Wisconsin

of currency arc causes, the effects OF which
shonld be studied.
Lands in Western n. York are worth

worth the same here, where the produce
is equal You answer, produce COM

Well, what will be the difference in price
when our facilities for transporting to the
same market they sell at. become equal
You answer again, the difference in cost
of transportation from here to Western
New York. Well, that difference will
not be over two per cent, or say five cts.
bushel. Our lands are newer, and
more productive than New York lands,
while the cost for labor will be no more
Then what is to hinder our lands from
rising to the standard value of New York
lands, or thereabout since the measure of
the value of lands is regulated by the
quantity and value of yield We answer
nothing.
In point of health, water, lumber, cli-
mate, soil. and beauty Of country and
scenery, we are SURPASSED by no other
country in the west; and in respect to
freshness of soil. the New England and
Middle States are a barren waste beside
ours. Grant Co. Herald

next day, when Mr.. Wright drove up in
a wagon to the same camp; at this mo-
ment O'Mera was returning from the ops
posite direction on mule. Seeing
Wright approaching he put spurs to his
mule and reached the camp first, and IT,
king double barrel shoot gun went out
to meet Mr.. Wright. When within fif-
teen feet OF the wagon he asked Wright il
he was armed. Wright replied tina. he
was, and put his hand in his bosom for
his pistol, but before he could Withdraw
it O'Mera fired, and the charge of duck
shot from one barrel took effect in his left
breast near the region of the heart
Wright fell from the wagon under the
horses feet, when O'Mera discharged the
other barrel, and the shot of which lodged
in his arm. He then drew Colts, re-
volver and commenced firing with that.
At this moment Mr.. Barton, of the firm
of Barton & Toll, of this city, seized a
stick and struck at the pistol as often as
O. Mera took aim. which prevented either
shot from the pistol taking effect. Mr..
Wright lived three hours. O'Mera fed.

The eastern auestion"--IIovv 1t Stands.

From the columns of extracts from Eu-
ropean journals brought by the last two
steamers, we gather the following as the
condition of the affair between Russia and
Turkey.
Russia having occupied the two Turkish
principalities with her troops, the Coalition
of Great Powers Great Britain, France and
Prussia, had a conference about this dis
turbancc ofthc balance of power" This
conference resulted in the proposal of a
note, known as the '.Nienna note" which
both Russia and Turkey were to sign, as a
settlement of these difficulties. Russia
wishes to possess full control over the popu-
lation protesting the faith of the Greek
Church within the Turkish dominions Tur-
key objects, but insists that she has always
and will still, protect that population in the
exercise of their religious rights. Or,-to
take the words of the notc,-a sentence in
threads;
fiat all times the Emperors of Russia
have shown their active solicitude for the
maintenance of the immunities and privil-
eyes ofthe Orthodox Greek Church in the
Ottoman Empire, the Sultans never refus-
ed to confirm anew BY solemn acts, which
attest their ancient and constant solicitude
toward their Christian subjects
This, as it grants or admits all tn Rus
STA wants, or pretends TO want, the Gar
was willing to sign.
The Sultan declines, but proposes to
modify the rule as follows:
If, at all times, the Emperors of Russia
have shown their active solicitudc for the
worship of the Orthodox Greek Church,
the Sultans have never ceased to watch ov-
er the immunitics and privileges of that
worship and that Church in the Ottoman
Empire, and to confirm them anew by
solemn acts, which attest their ancient and
constant benevolence toward their Chris
tain subjects
This modification the Gar will not agree
to, and will not withdraw his troops The
population of Turkey is in great state OF
excitement on account of the terms which
Russia aud the other powers strive to
force upon the Sultan, and the troops of the
latter are fierce for fight with the Russians.
Here Is a specimen of the placards which
are posted up around Constantinople:
..PaaiscAa Most Mighty! for the love
of thy sacred person all thy subjects are
ready to sacrifice goods, life, and family.
But are YOU also not bound to draw from
its scabbard the scvmitar of the glorious
Mahomet, which like your illustrious an
cestors, you girdle on in the Mausoleum OF
Eli Evouh Eri>ssrv?

THE THREE STAGES

Liquor drinking puts its victims into three
stages-the nervine, the stimulant, and the
narcotic.
The first, or nervine stage, makes the
man silly, happy, rich, and foolish. He
sings, dances, shouts, laughs, and spends
his money as if he were as rich as Cresus.
The second, or stimulant stage, makes
him pugnaclous, morose, angry, uncontro-
liable, and frequently crazy. In this state,
he CRATES his teeth, doubles his fist, breaks
things, fights, and murders. Ninety
out of every hundred cases of bloodshed
and murder in this country, are caused by
rum. Of the last thirtysix public execu-
tons for murder in the United States, thirty
one (nine of whom had killed their wives J
stated onthe gallows that rum had led them
to commit the fatal deed ANY man who
drinks liquor at all, is liable to get into the
stimulant state, and while under the frenzy
he may commit murder as thousands of
good men have done before him.
The third or narcotic state, makes man
yawn and sleep. He tumbles into the ditch,
perfectly insensible, and although giant in
strength and proportions, the merest pigmy
may now spit upon him, and kick him with
A child of three years old may
abuse him without danger In this third
state, man is said to be drUnk-but it is
that in the true sense of the word
a man is equally drunk in either of the 9TH
er stages of this ridiculous infatuation.

ToPREvENT coUNTERFEITENG.-The Worth
american proposes, as a remedy for the al
mostuncheckedc career of counterfeiters, that
all our banks should adopt some system of
preparing their bills similar to that which
has so long been in use in the Bank of En-
gland. That institution manufactures its
own bills. Every step in the process of
manufacture is conducted within lis own
walls. The paper is made in the bank; the
plates are engraved in the bank; the notes
are printed, as they are afterwards filed up
in the bank Nothing is left to accident
there. If fraud is attempted, it must be at
tempted in the bank.-How rare, in consc-
qucncc, are counterfeits upon it, They
have no counterfeit dctcctor in England.
