land has reason to dread the attempts Of Russia;
for if the deserts and mountains which divide
the Russian empire from Asia be impenetrable

Injured to the fatigues of war. The day is not,
perhaps, distant when Russia and England, the
two most powerful empires of the world, may

object but to raise against the Russian empire

against the Indian possessions Of Great Britain.

TARPER's NEW MONTHLY MAGA-

L i zine has now reached monthly edition OF
over One Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand
copies, and the demand for il is still increasing
with greater rapidity than ever. This unparal-
leled and unexpected success has compelled the
publishers to resort to extraordinary means for
printing the work with the requisite rapidty, and
at the same time preserving the typographical ele
gance by which il has always been distinguished.
1t is now elccrotyped by a new process, which
makes il easy to print any number of copies from
the same plates, without in the least impairing the
clearness and beauty of the impression The
publishers desire TO repeat their cordial acknowl
cdgnents to the press and the public for the ex-
traordinary favor which has thus far attended
their efforts to interest and instruct the great body
of the American people, and 10 renew their as
surances that every possible~efiort will be made
to increase still further the claims of their maya
zine upon public favor and support. II will con-
tinue TO present, at the cheapest price, the most
interesting and instructive literary matter, original
and selected, domestic and foreign, in the most
elegant and convenient style, and accompaniedby
the finest pictorial illustrations which lavish ex-
penditure of money can command. They appeal
with confidence TO the past, as guarantee that
their promises for the future will be abundantly
fulfilled. aa

For fifteen years Russia has been occupied
in organizing the Mongolia and the Kirghese
She has furnished them with men, money, and
officers, and has had them instructed in the
use Of arms and the art of war. At any mo-
