LETTER FR0M An AMERICAN IN RUSSIA.
An American travelling in Russia writes to
the Louisville Journal, from ST. Petersburg rs
follows:
On Friday made The acquaintance Of Count
Nesselrodr, for thirty years past the Russian
Minister Of Foreign Atlars, 4 gentleman who
has not Il wrinkle on his brow. and who told

lion here ! came here believing that the con-
quest of The Crimpa would end The war. am
now thoroughly convinced that il will prorart
it. All that ynn hear through England about
poverty aud distress here is false. The Empc-
ror'S popularity, impurahle TO his excellent pri.
vale character, ard his figure and personal nd
dress, is nEbnEndrd.
The manufactures OF Russia are 81 far ad-
vanccd as t" supply al her waits. and the
wealth Of This city alune. concentrated upon her
churches. would sustain an army OF five hundred
thousand men for twelrrmonrh. She has rl,-
tered upon war not anticipated and for which
preparation is yet TO be made She claims an
armed fnrce Of Two millions, and can readily
raise oie-lalf that number, and that she is now
doing.
WORRYING TIE WILD CATs-Thc suhoincd
dispatches from Chicago, Illinois, the residence
of Geo w. Smith, principal owner Of the Bank
Of Atlanta, show that The people in llat city
have worried the Wild Cat Fnanciers very con-
sldrrahly recently: RI
CHICAGO, Nov. l3-2The Merchants, and Me-
chanrs Bank Of this city has closed its doors.
The notes of The Napcrs,e Bank, and the
Bank of Egn, have been refused in this city,
CAicAGo Nov. l4.-The City Bank Of this
city has suspended payment.
CHICAGO, Nov ll-Tha Un;nn Bank Of this
city has closed. The bills of The Elgin Bank
are again taken. Tlrle is great. excitement
among our citizens.
Unfortunately, however, fur the people, when
they have killed off the vile swindng shops
they just then discover that they have been r"bb:
ed of hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions
of dollars by the Wild ca. Wnalricrs
In view OF these facts, would ii not be wise
for The people of Georgia to guard well their
purses against the incursions of the following
Wild Cat Banks:
Bank of Atlanta, Atlanta.
Merchants Bank of Macon, Macon.
Bank of the Interior, Griffin.
