Ex Alderman W EsLEY Smith. Of New
York. hos recently returned from a short
vi,i, 20 ST. pe,crsburgh. The EueMing
Post gives some notes of his observations,
from which we extract the following:
Mr.. Smith is fully convinced. from

nation and ability o: the Russians To sus-
tain the war in which they are now Ell
gagged, in the face OF the most energetic
operations OF the comb ned assailants--

Mr.. S. describes the whole population
as filled with enthusiasm for the prose
cu,lon of the war, which is regarded as
a sor, Of crusade for the defence Of The
Greek Church.
Demidoif has already voluntarily prof
cred 10 the Emperor the gift of million
roubies, equivalent To 800. 900. Ano.h
er nobleman has done the same. while the
various officers in commend have insis-

for the pubic service. Even the most
delicate laties in the upper Glasses are
engaged in performing such lheniai du-
ties the scrapimg of lint for the sol
diers who are about entering the field OF
war.
Mr.. Smith states thai the principal
cause of the advantages gained by the
allied forces over the Russians, was their
practice of taking the Russian officers q
the first marks for their bullets. The
Russian armies, without their leaders,
are utterly p1wer.ess, and can be Shot

at least 81 as to be undistInguishabe by
the enemy.
One fac, adduced By Mr. Smith in sup
port of his opinion of the capabiliiy of
Russia TO Withstand the utmost severi-
ties of war, has been noticed by other OBJ
servers. 1t is her untalliug natural re-
sources. In her vast territory every ne

first quality from the root of the beet.
The coffee raised in Russia is, however,
not "a fasorite beverage, from its singular
effect in bringing on intestinal disorder.
Tea, however. is drank constantly, and is
