The entire marine of Russia is col
lected at two stations, those of the Bal
tic and the Black Sea. Of these, that
of the Baltic is divided into three sec
tons, and that Of the Black Sea into
two. But this does not include the Tari-
Gus gunboats and small crafts. Each
decision of the fleet consists usually of
one three-decker, eight two-deckers, six
frigates, one corvette and five smaller
vessels. Thus, the Baltic feet would
number twenty-seyen vessels of the
line, including three three-deckers, eigh-
teen frigates, and fifteen corvettes, briggs
and smaller vessels, besides a considera-
bic number of steamers. That of the
Black Sea, on the other hand, will
amount to eighteen vessels of the line,
and among them three three-deckers,
besides twelve frigates, ten corvettes,
and several steamers. Hence, the Rus
sian marine amounts in all to forty-fve
vessels of the line, thirty frigates, twen-
ty-five corvettes, and twenty briggs, be-
side the very considerable force of
steamers and gunboats, which the Rus
sian inspiration places at 400 or 500 YES
sells. The aggregate of the Russian
crews is given at sc, 800 men, of whom
80, 800 belong to the Baltic, and l9, 800
to the Black Sea feet. The grand Rus
sian three-deckers are the Russia, of 100
guns; the Twelve Apostles, of 100
guns; and the Warsaw, of 100. Ad-
miral Prince Menchikoff is at the head
of the naval staff; the Grand Duke
Constantine is high admiral of the Rus
sian fleets; Won Kolsakof and Won Ri
cord are also admirals. Among the
vice-admirals are persons named Glase-
mass, Katschaloff, Won Berg, Count

A considerable sensation has been
created in Paris, in political circles, and
the sensation will spread to all Europe,
by the publication of a pamphlet at
Paris, called "The Map of Europe" l
believe that there is no doubt but that it
was written by Louis Napoleon. 1t
was published by his privale publisher,
and then, on second thoughts, sup
pressed. Not more than two or three
copies escaped. One found its way into
the hands of the correspondent of the
Morning Chronicle, and it is published
in eztenso in the Chronicle of to-day.
1t is, in every respect, most curious
document-it is in fact remodelling OF
the map of Europe, cutting down Rus
sia's power to narrower limits. The
document is so important that l annex it
tn eztenso.
Louis Napoleon proposes to restore
Findland to Sweden, to give Poland to
Prussia as kingdom under the sover-
eighty of Prussia, to give Lombardy to
Piedmont. In indemnifcation for the
loss of Lombardy, he proposes giving
Moldavia and Bessasarabia to Austria
the Ottoman empire to have the whole
of the Crimea and the trans Caucasian
countries in Asia. France and England
not to have any addition of territory
1t is bold scheme, and meets attention.

FoRKIas NEws.-The London cor
respondent of the New York Herald
writes 10 that journal as follows:
On more than one: occasion l have al
Iuded in my letters to the ambiguous
line of conduct Of austria and Prussia
It is now quite clear that both the great
German powers are determined to re-
main neutral-as long as they can
Now. neutrality at this moment Is tsnta-
Imo,,nt to a declaration in favor of Rus
sia I do not mean to say that either
Prussia or Austria will openly take arms
for the Emperor Nicholas; but they first
give him their moral support and their
political influence, and ultimately God
knows what they may not do. 1t
seems madness to suppose that Austria
will run the risk of general rising of
her provinces out of friendship to Nicho-
las; but Austria is not to be trusted,
though / learn from very good sources
that Count Buol, the Austrian Minister
of Foreign Affairs, has given the most
solemn assurances to the English Gov
ernment that she has not the slightest
intention of given aid to Russia. Mean
time she is arming on an extensive scale,
and her army on the Seryian frontier
will soon be $1,000 strong.
Similar preparations are taking place
in every portion of her dominions.-
Austria is vast camp. The new loan
of fifty millions of forins five millions
sterling) has already been subscribed.
Rothschild subscribed ten millions, and
Tana five millions of forms towards it.
Fancy $50, 700 or 100000 of the best
disciplined troops in Europe suddenly
walking over, generals and all, to the
Russians, by command of their Empe-
ror. do not think, however, this is TO
be feared. 1t is from Prussia that the
Western Powers meet with the greatest
obstacle, or rather from the royal family
of Prussia. for the sympathies of the
people are strong in favor of the West
ern Powers, and equally strong against
Russia. King Frederick William, of
Prussia, is not very strong-minded
man, and his sister is the present En-
press of Russia, who has great power
over him. He is continually receiving
letters from his sister urging him to
Join Russia. The Prince of Prussia is
also a Russian; the ministers, on the
other hand, are decidedly anti-Russian.
There are symptoms evident in Prussia
already of great discomfort at this sacri-
fee of the peoples interest to family
and dynastic ties; mutterings loud and
deep have been heard in the streets of
Berlin, and rumors are already current
of military revolution in Prussia on a
far larger scale than that of 1848. An
other consequence is that Louis Napo-
leon has resolved to form French army
on the Rhine, as precautionary meas
ure. Europe will shortly be the theatre
of great and extraordinary events.

CITY of Six---New Trail.

According to promise, l will give you
a few items in relation to our place, and
what is called Rock City, small place on
Rock Greek, about half mile from this
place. There has been considerable pros
pecting done there this summer. A COM
pany called the National Co, has done
most Of the prospecting. They have put
down several shafts, and have found the
same character Of deposit that has been
found at Forest City. One Of the shafts
is one hundred and trcnty-sjr feet deep.
AS soon, however, as they got through the
cement into the gravel they were obliged
to abandon it on account of water. They
intend to work the ground either by cut
ting tunnel nearly two thousand feet,
through bedrock, or by getting Il steam
engine and working through a shaft.
Little has been done in the diggings at
this place, this week, from the fact that it
was necessary to have trail fr,m m this
place to Forest City, and also to Downie-
vile, and the people here being straightfor-
ward Californians, went to work as Cali
fornians do, and now we have coed mule,
trail through from your place to Forest
City. 1t is some two and a half miles
shorter than the old trail.
There is little doing here now in the
way of trade, but couple Of your enter
prising Downievillians have found their
way to the city, (?) and are getting in q
large stock Of goods for the benefit Of the
miners here.
We have also been honored by the pre-
sence of several ladies, who, have been
informed, intend to make this their home
for the present. This will be particularly
gratifying to most of US. especially the old
bachelors, of which there is good supply
on hand. If you should come to the City,

EDITOR CITIZEN You doubtless will
recollect of hearing about a certain place
of decomposed quartz, in a lead aboutthree-
fourths of mile from Minnesota, and
quarter ola mile above German Bar, or
the Middle Yuha, which was very rich.
Many thousands Of dollars were taken
from this deposit by the discoverers, by
means of shaft, which they sunk to the
depth of some fifty or sixty feet, and then
were obliged to suspend further operations
in the shaft, on account of the large amount
of water which came in through the rock:
The claims then changed hands, either in
whole or in part, and the last owners went
down the hill some two hundred feet from
the lead and commenced tunnel, so as to
run levei through the slate rock to the
lead. The company have worked some
five months, in almost solid rock, without
making one dollar, and had almost des-
paired of ever striking the lead until TO-
day, when they struck the lead. and with
one blast threw out near two hundred dol
lars. One of the company showed me
some of the rock which was very rich.
They struck the lead about ninety feet be-
low the bottom of the shaft. The rock
seemed to be full of gold. The boys now
begin to feel pretty well over their good
fortune and think that they will soon find
it as rich as ever. a n8

weather is mutable-rains are abundant,
especially in June and July; gales, thun-

place near Soda Springs, on the 1st of
August, between a party of emigrants
and predatory party of the Snake Indi-

the Indians were pursued some twenty
miles and overtaken, when fight ensued
in which thirty Indians and one white man
were killed. During the fight detached
party of the Indians drove off the cattle.
A great number of cattle have died on
the route, from the prevailing epidemic
among the emigrant stock. -

His life had been a chequered one, bu
misfortune never damped his ardor till hi:
foot pressed Californian soil. His mission
hither-far, far away from his home in the
east, was to find son who had left him
to seek fortune in the mines; an only
son, who had been some two years away
and from whom no letter had for LONG
time been received.
To enable him to come in search of his
boy, the gallant old fellow had sold off all
he possessed and started, high in hope, for
the land Of gold But misfortune was on
his track; the first night of his landing, in
the house where he slept, he was rsbbed;
and the following morning he found him
self despoiled of his all, save a few dollars
that had escaped the merciless marauder.
Despairing not, he obtained work which
he was however compalled to abandon;
and, until his health should be fully re-
stored, he had taken to selling fruit, by
which so far he had done little better
than keeping the wolf from the door,.
He was proud old man. Never from
mortal had he received charity. He never
would. If this be not one of Natures

them not. AT his time of life the generali-

with stont heart mingling in the battle.

heroes are made of-albeit perhaps too
tender-hearted. Heroes weep not; but
from the eye of the old man when he spoke
of his boy, ere he could hide or restrain
it saw a big tear start forth-a strong
effort on his part alone keeping back q
host of others, which / could perceive
crowdng behind their leader.
But he was sanguine, and high in hope
of yet achieving the darling object ofhis
enterprise, and in few months he conf

to carry him on his pilgrimage to the
mines. ''Had he who robbed thee known
thy mission" 1 mentally exclaimed, che

Human nature may be vile enough, but
such deed it could not have DONE"
His story told, the old fruit-seller warm
ly pressed the hand which profered him,
whilst wishing him, from my soul, success
in his undertaking-took up his little
basket, and with a fervent "God bless you,
sir!' went on his way, waving to me a
goodbye once again, ere bend of the
