CENTRAL AsIA.-From Central Asia we
have startling news The Russians after
having succeeded in making the Khanat of
Khiva dependency of Russia-it seems that
the Khan frightened by the advance of an ar
my on his capital, Urgeridj, yielded and ac-
cepted the protectorAte Of the Czar,-have
now captured Kokau, and are therefore the
masters of the two great rivers of Turan, the
Oxus and the Jaxarty, or as the fasteners
call them, of the Seehon and Geehon. Only
three small insignificant States, Shersabes,
TIissar and Gervas, divide now the posses.
sions of the Car from Balhk, which is the
last acquisition of the Affghans, and he threat
ems Bokhars from two sides at the same time,
from Khiva rs well as from Kokan. In con-
sequence of such position, Russian influence
is daily strengthened in Persia, Kabul ard
Bokhara, and will soon extend to Thibet, and
to all the Tartar countries of the Chinese
Empire. 1t is the first beginning of a for
midabe league against British India, n ow, Of
course, despised by the English, but in the
course of ten or twenty years it will be more
formidable to England than the power of any
European combination.

EspARTERo AND o'DoNNELL

The London correspondent OF the Ne"
York Herald furnished the following sKe'ch
of these chiefs of the Spanish Revolution;
aODonpell is certainly man of no ordi-
nary metal. Three of his brothers Perished
In the Carlist army, that to which throughout
ba wos himself opposed-nay, his youngest
brotber. the one Of all he most loved, was
shot NJ Barcelona BY his own soldiers, when
i. nrisoner. rs a re2risal. His mother was II
Ia5v of homer TO the wife of Don Carlos, and
Mt the time Joined her earnest solicitations to
tbose of the Pretcnder, that he would join
the le0itimists and his iron soul stoUd hrm,
though it is understood he felt most bitterly
the fate of his brother Such man must
have something in him, and will do what he
has once determined. His exterior is remarka-
Bile. Tall, and of commanding figure, his
strongly marked eyebrows, the steady regard
of his eve, his slight closed lips, and the
width of his chin, announce that no Oscilla-
tions are to be looked for from him, when
once his will has been declared.
"Espartero, physically as well as morally,
commands respect also. OF middle height,
sixty years of age, at least, but not looking
more than fifty, he bears on his lofty forehead,
In MS Ulack eyes, u1u VII h'o hpo-tu'HihS
readily to smile-a mingled appearance OF
kindness and frankness and of that courage
which he carries to recklessness. BY the SER
vices which he has rendered, he is the first of
all the living Spanish commanders. 1t is
known that he is a good comrade to his sol
diers, and when he saw the troops in former
days suffering for want of supplies, EspTtero
often met the difficulty from his private for
tune. His wife is the daughter of a rich
banker, who never hesitated to give her sig
nature when the army was to be served
Espartero was of obscure family. He had no
other fortune but his sword, and he never
disdnined his origin but when Regent of
Spain, with the order of the Golden Fleece
on his breast, being surprised by the visit of
his uncle, small contractor of roads, and his
two female cousins, who were dress-makers,
he received them with open arms, and left
every one struck with that democratic pride
which thus gracefully showed itself in the
palace of kings. There is nothing certainly
in these things to make one count perhaps on
the men before US; and yet mems anteccdents
should 60 for something" .-,t..g s..

NEBRAsKA.-The "Journal of Commerce"
Democratic in its feelings, though provcr5i
ally cautious in its expressions, seems in costa
cies that all predictions as to slavery getting
the ascendancy in Kansas have already proved
illusory. II says:
"The cry of Freesoilers, Abolitionsts,
Wings, and other odds and ends of things,
that the passage of the Nebraska bill would
be equivalent to the permanent establishment
of slavery in the Territory of Kansas, and
the erection of that Territory into n slave
State, will soon be seen to be, what it is in
fact and always has been, mere CANNON, in
tended for political effect Foreseeng that
the plot would soon be exposed, some Of the
knowing ones early conceived the idea of set
ting on foot system of emigration to Kan
sas from the North, by which they should
gain the credit, in part, of proving their own
predictions false. Hence the establishment
of Emigration Aid Societies. On paper these
societies were to do mighty things; but rs
yet, If they have sent out more than thirty
emigrants, we are not aware of it. Never
theless the Territory is rapidly filling up, as
appears from various letters which have been
published from the seat of war;"
II then quotes gay letter from Kansas,
describing the exhilarating scenes exhibited
by the crowds moving tlither, and adds
"Already, we presume, there are some thou
sands of cmigrants within the Territory, and
nearly all of them are unconnected with sla-
very"
The Journal further says, that it has author
ity for asserting that
"Not stakeholder of Missouri has as yet
moved his slaves into Kansas. In short, there
is just ground of apprehension that not
enough slaves will be carried into the Terri
tory to make it much Of an object to get them
free. This fear we expressed while the bill
was pending" ...

WILSON CoUNTY.-We clip the following
paragraph from the Lebanon Herald of the
18th:
We learn from gentleman who was pres
ent at Stale in Rutherford county u few days
since, that wheat commanded two dollarsp per
bushel. We also learn that ut another sale
in the same county, corn brought one dollar
and five cents per bushel. Most exhorbitant
price. One dollar per bushe is the highest
price asked in this county, for wheat. Corn
is held at different prices. Some ask $3.50
per BARREL some "a, and Others as much as
So From all the information we can get,
we incline to the opinion that corn in this
county, will not be worth exceeding 50 at
gathering time.

count Of dinner to a railway congress, at

INC Table without stopping, in order to give a
view OF the good things with which it was
ire'g'tcd' the train again started, making
