Notes on. Russin

Ex-Alderman Wesley Smith, of New
York, has recently returned from short
visit to St. Petersburgh. The Evening
Post gives some notes of his observations,
from which we extract the following
Z" Mr.. Smith Is fully conN Nmced, from
what he saw in Russia, of the determine
ton and ability of the Russians to sustain
the war in which they are now engaged,
in the face of the most energetic operations
of the combined assailants. l,4O0, 900
men are under arms, available at any mo-
ment for the purposes of the Gar, all in
the most perfect state of discipline.
Mr.. S. describes the whole population
as filled with enthusiasm for the prosecu-
ton of the war, which is regarded as
sort of crusade for the defence Of the Greek
Church.
Demidoff has already voluntarily proffer-
ed to the Emperor the gift of million
roubles, equivalent TO $750,O00. Auoth-
er nobleman has done the same, while the
various officers in command have insisted
on offering the half of their salaries for the
public service. Even the most delicate Ia
dies in the upper classes are engaged in
performing such menial duties as the scra-
ping of lint for the soldiers who arc about
entering the field of war.
Mr.. Smith states that the principal cause
Of the advantages gained by the allied
forces over the Russians, was their prac-
tice of taking the Russian officers as the
first marks for their bullets. The Russian
armies, without their leaders, are utterly
powerless, and can be shot down like so
many cattle. They have learned nothing
except to obey the orders of their superb
ors. In order to avoid any further calami-
ties Of this kind, the officers and men are
to be clothed alike, or at least so as to be
undistinguishable by the enemy.
One fact aduced by Mr. Smith in sup
port of his opinion Of the capability Of
Russia to Withstand the utmost seventies
of war, has been noticed by other observ-
ers. 1t is her unfailing natural resources
In her vast territory every necessary sta
pie for the support of the population can
be supplied without resort to foreign i'm
portatioD. Even such luxuries as coffee
and sugar are produced within her bor-
ders in any desired quantity, the latter ar
ticle being manufactured of the first quail
ty from the root Of the beet The coffee
raised in Russia is, however, not favorite
beverage, from its singular effect in bring
ing on intestinal disorder, Tea, however,
is drank constantly, and is much better
article than we are permitted to enjoy"

formed at Irkoutsk, and on the 9Th Of
July, 1899, received from the hands OF the
Emperor Paul full authorization, under the
name of the Russian American Fur Com
pany, to the exclusive control Of the traffic
in peltries on the Alentian Islands and
countries adjacent, for the term Of twenty
years. This authority was afterwards con-
firmed by the Emperor Alexander, who
made it extend to the whole Of Russian
America. The island of Kodiak was, at
first, the seat of the principal factory, and
although many difficulties were encounter
ed, the trade carried on with the natives
and the trafic with eastern Russia aud
China, in furs, was soon important. The
sea-otter, whose beautiful coat was SO high
ly priced by Russian magnates and Chi
nese mandarins, and has even formed the
topic of an encomium by Baron Won Hum
boldt, becoming gradually scarcer in the
Aleutian Islands, was sought for further
to the southwest, among the isles Of King
Georges Archipelago. Baranof, who was
Governor of the colony at that time, was
pleased with the position and extent OF
Sitka, and established the townlcfi New
Archangel, which has since become the
capital, and most important port Of Rus
sian America. 1t was with this establish
ment that the possibility, Of founding q
powerful State in that direction, and bear
ing with notable influence on the future
commerce Of the Pacific, began to awaken
the attention of both Russian and British
statesmen and it is here we may legiti-
mately pause in our rapid historical survey
with the intention of hereafter tracing the
growth and position of this settlement,
and the great benefits likely TO accrue TO
our commerce from its cession to this Gov

essary expenses in depositing; and, on sat

or any other officer, has charged fees or
other rewards not authorized by law, he
shall be forthwith removed from Office
Sec. I. And be ii further enacted, That
the Territory of Washington shall be erect

the President of the United States is here
by authorized to appoint a surveyor gen
eral for the same, who shall hold his Office
at such place as the President may direct,
and the location thereof may be changed
from time to time, if, in the judgment of
the President, the public interes should
require it, and the powers, duties, obliga-
tionS, responsibilities and emoluments Of
the said surveyor general shall be the same
as are now prescribed by law for the sur
veyor general of Oregon.

ArrIYaI of Immigrants.

On Thursday last, five immigrant wag-
ons with three families arrived at this place.
Mcssrs. W. NJ. MoRRow, and JAMES KRT-
LEY, brother of WHITFIELD KIRTLEY, Esq,
of this place, from Iowa, and Mr.. W. N.
AYREs, from Wisconsin. They crossed
the Missouri river on the 27th of April,
and report good grass, good health, and
rather pleasant transit across the plains
having met with but little loss of stock,
or being subjected to any serious sickness
on the way. Their cattle look remarkably
well.
Mr.. MoRRow reports that the immigra-
ton, so far rs he was able to be Informed,
would be but comparatively small, although
he was aware of number of wagons en-
route for Washington Territory-a large
Of the immigration having taken
the direction of California, and the new
route into Southern Oregon from Fort
Boise, down the forks Of the Willamette.

Trade with China.

Few Of our readers have an idea Of the
immense amount Of tea exported from Chi
ma, and the great number Of vessels TO
which it gives profitable employment For
the past eight years, the quantity exported
both to the United States and Great Brit
ain has steadily increased, except during
the year Just ended, which shows a slight
falling of, in consequence of the derange-
ment Of business, particularly at Shanghae,
occasioned by the revolution. The amount
exported to Great Britain has risen from
Al, ,242, 100 pounds, in the tea year ending
June 30th, lS49, TO 77,716,SO0 pounds, in
the. year. ending June 30 1854, Within
the same time, the shipments to the United
States have increased from 1858, 800
pounds to S3,612, 35l. BY the arrival Of
the bark Mermaid yesterday, we have full
Chinese trade resurns for the tea year end
ing June 80, 1854, from which it appears
that during that year II, 7,1I6,800 pounds
of tea and 6S,615 bales Of silk were ship
ped to Great Britain in 1870 vessels and
90 steamers, being an increase Of 1908, ,220
pounds of tea, 1854 bales Of silk, and 80
vessels, over the years lS52153. During
the year Just ended, the amount Of tea ex-
ported to the United States was 3S, ,8s7 ,S5l
pounds, against 4O,s6O, 7s4 pounds the
preceding year, a falling Oh Of 7,41s, ,4S3
pounds. This is about counterBalanced
by the increased shipment to Great Brit
ain, making the total export TO both eoun.
tries nearly the same this year as last.---
This statement upsets the calculations Of
those who advanced the prices Of teas, un-
der the expectation that the Chinese revo-
luton would seriously check the amount
exported. 1t has produced no eiect.---
This tea trade is very nursery for, our
splendid clipper feet starting from the
Atlantic cities for California, with cargo
that pays them handsomely, they unload
with Tapidity and dash across the ocean to
China, where they obtain a full freight, at
profitable rates, and return home around
the Cape of Good Hope, after realizing,
on a single voyage, half the value Of the
ship. During the season Of '4s-'l9, 81
vessels we're employed intransporting tea
to the United States During the year
just closed, they numbered 90, nearly all Of
them first class American clippers. Be
sides these, q number Of American vessels
conveyed teas to Great Britain Saa

S6r During sleep the movement Of the
heart is less frequent than when awake ;
the intervals between the beats are longer,
and during these heightened intervals the
repairs of the functions of the heart goes
on this slower action Of the heart is coin
cident with the slower respiration During
the period of sleep, the body is more liable
to the action of cold and malaria, as the
vital force is less. The digestive process
should be completed before going to rest,
otherwise there is less force to carry on the
system of recuperation.

PRAYER TO THE PoINT-The complaint
of drought made by many papers through
out the State, brings to our mind an anec-
dote told Of an old fellow who used to have
local habitatlon in AndoEer, Ohio
The year previous to the incident had been
one of unusual drought, accompanied with
hot days and chilly nights, and there was
especially failure in the corn crop. The
old chap, one Sunday evening, dropped in
to the Presbyterian church while q prayer
meeting was in progress. There were but
few in attendance, and that few mostly
grave and reverend deaeons, who, with q
fault too common, went prayer gathering
all over the world 1t Immediately struck
the old chap that such long prayers were
intolerable, and that he would instruct
them how to pray briefly and to the point.
So be popped on his pegs, and" Breth-
ren," said he, "you pray altogether too
long. Five minutes are long enough TO
make five prayers y and before anybody
could recover FROM the surprise Of such uu
abrupt intrusion. he was down his knees,
jabering out atrailroad speed" o Lord
us-good-long- g-ears-ofcorn-this-yea; aud

of the prayer was magical, and an auditb
