Highly Important from washing
IOn---AuiOgraph Letter of the
Emperor Nicholas TO President
PieTCe---ReveIatiOn of a COnSpi-
EaCy CT the Western Powers
against the United States.
The New York Herald has cor
respondent at Washington who makes
some revelations which are highly i'm.
portant if true. The substance of his
disclosures is as follows: The writer
says that few evenings ago, PreSi-
dent Pierce invited to the White House,
Senators Cass, Mason and Douglas
The President, the above named Sem
ators and Secretary Marcy, were the
only individuals present. The PreSi-
dent placed before the gentlemen as.
sembled, an autograph letter, signed by
Emperor Nicholas of Russia, and re-
ceiyed by the last arrival from Europe.
The letter was also accompanied by an
official communication from the En-
.peror's Minister for foreign affairs,
communicating to the United States,
Secretary OF State, the particulars OF
an organization against this country,
advised and encouraged by England
and France. To prove the statement,
extracts are given from letters sent to
the home government, by Russian Sc
cret employees distributed throughout
the capitals Of Europe, 1t is to show
The friendship and interest which the
Emperor leels Tor the success of the
United States, that the matters set forth
IN his communication TO President
Pierce are revealed. 1t is further sta
ted that the British, Austrian, and
Spanish Ambas sadors were present at
audiences given by Louis Napoleon,
and that also the French, Austrian and
Spanish Ambassadors had been received
on official visits, by Lord Aberdeen in
London, and that it had been recon-
mended to Spain, by these high func
tlonarles, to practice protracted diplo-
matte policy with this Government,
while, at the same time, as soon as the
force could be spared, France and Eng
land would increase and divide their
strength in such manner in North and
South America, as not to awaken sus>
|plcion, or excite alarm. The designs
oil the whole matter is, in a word, to
practice acts OF aggression and violence
towards this country, whenever the op-
portunity arises that will enable this 10
be done with any show OF reason, and
check its increasing strength, its grow.
ing prosperity, and its commercial i'm
.Portance. The correspondent Of the
Herald, also suggests that these disclo~
sures may have been made to Russia
by the Austrian government, which
notwithstanding her assurances TO the
allies, is secretly the friend OF Russia
That England, France and Spain,
should unite to prevent the acquisition
OF Cuba by the United States, is very
possible, but That the knowledge oI
such a combination as above represent
ed, should be made known to oul
government through the Emperor ot
Russia, needs further confirmation.

Effects Of WING RuIe---The New
York Canals and Tic Railroads.

Gov. Clark, OF New York, has sent
a message to the Legislature OF that
State in reference to the great decrease
in canal tolls, ,ow ing to the large amount
of freight carried on the railroads. He
recommends an imposition of canal
tolls upon The railload tonnage on all
the railroads diverting business from
the canals.
He speaks, in gloomy forebodings,
Of the financial prospects of the State,
and anticipates large deficit, and OF
course new public debt. A few years
ago we heard of nothing but the en-
largement of the Erie canal, and the
universal prosperity that was to follow.
The Constitution OF The State was
over-ridden-the Democrats turned out
OF office, and the great enlargement
commenced with all its debts and cor
ruptions. Now we have the final in
this special message OF the Governor.
Black mail is now advised to be levied
upon the railroads to save the sinking
ship. Imbecile and financial quackery,
it is we'll said, have got to pretty pass
in the State OF New York, when a
'Whig Governor is compelled to make
such admission as these. States.

Township Elections in VIntOT

"SAM" AT Ten A. M.
IN d NIL LF oNYSn

To little Brown all honor is due, for
her noble conduct in declaring for hu-
manity aud Democracy, last Monday,
by the election of every township Of
ficer, from the ranks Of the True Dem
ocrats. Other hearts beat with enthu-
siasm at the thought, that there are
some patriots left, who are not afraid
to declare their principles in open day.
'Tis to such men as these of Brown
that the American people must look for
defenders at the point OF the bayonet,
when occasion requires it. We can.
not depend upon the prowling midnight
scoundrelS, who meet at certain place
not far distant, when honest men are
enjoying that rest, from their labor, thai
the God of nature has provided fol
them.
The election in Brown proves whaI
we know to be true, that when the De,
mocracy organize, they are inviDcible.
May the Democracy of Brown live
long and die Freemen

McArthur Election.

On last Monday the late Village
Fathers were ousted, and an entire new
Counci elected, who We notify IN ad-
vance: that if they don't walk in the
narrow path, they will have to give an
account of their acts. The removal
OF the old Council has satisfied num-
ber that Know Nothingism has strong
hold on Macarthur The town is, we
beliye, OF full age, over twenty-one, and
full grown; (untIl a more liberal course
of policy is extended to new comers,
by the old Fogies;) and the old Coun-
ell done more for the improvement oil
Macarthur than all the previous inn
provemeuls made in the place; but so
it is. How truly is It said, that "Re-
publics are ungratelul." We trustthat
portion OF Democrats elected will pre-
vent the Wings and Know Nothings
from dipping TOO deep into the pockets
Of the people.
Mr. BRowN, the Mayor elect, is an
Anti.Kaow NOthing-his election set

SaWdust for Bedding.

During a short sojourn in Ohio, we visited
most of the livery stables, and found that the
only bedding in use was sawdust. The pro-
prietors of each stable all testified that it was
far superior to hay or straw; and in these
times of scarcity, it must in certain localities,
be more economical. Without doubt sawdust
absorbs large amount of urine, and also its
ammonial gases; preventing the one from sat-
urating the stable floor, and the latter from de-
teriorating the staple atmosphere.
Sawdust occupies less bulkthan straw, and
at the same time, affords as soft bed the
filthy can readily be separated from that which
is still useful, and with the admixture Of a fair
proportion of excrements, forms valuable
fertilator. Some persons, however, may OBJ
ject to the use of sawdust on account of its alb
sorbent properties, which acting on the horse s
hoofs, may tend to render them dry and brit
tie, and utterly impair the function OF the
same.
Should this be the case, we have only to
stuff the hoofs with moist clay, or even wash
them little oftener, and the evil if it exists,
can be remedied.
0ne-half the stable keepers in New Eng
land and elsewhere, have, during the past year,
been sorely puzzled to provide sufficient bed
ding and unless some better and cheaper ma
terial turns up, we would advise the interested
to try sawdust. Perhaps the addition of few
Stdrings might be advantageous but, try
