The Paris correspondent of the New York
Herald, relates the following ludlcrous Incl
dent which occurred to her Bnttanic Males
" during her recent visit;
At the ball at the Hotel lie Vile an Incl
dent occurred to the Queen which, notwith-
standing her we'll known self possession, was
near disconcertng her. After the first quad
rille, in which her Majesty took part she re-
sumed her seat in the chair of State, when the
Emperor avaiIed himself Of the opportunity
10 dispatch an aid-de- camp for one of the
Arab chiefs who was present on this occa-
sion. On his approach, his Majesty took
him by the hand and formally presented him
to the Queen of England, when occurred
really graphic scene. The chief Immediately
rrosttated himself on the floor and embrac-
ell the knees of her Majesty. The act was
so instantaneous, that there was no pOssibil-
ity Of preventing it, and all that can be said
is, that it was lucky the Queen of England
and the Moor were not found in such po-
siion behind IA curtain instead Of before
such blaze of lights The chief dressed in
his burnoose, his extraordinary corded cap,
buried his face in her Majestys lap, and
spread his arms and hands on either side of
her knees. The Queen bore it all with great
dignity, though when the ceremony was over
she turned upon the Emperor a meaning
smile, which afterwards broke into hearty
laugh. Another chief was afterwards pre-
sented, but his Majesty took the precaution
of saying few words to the dark son of the
desert previously, and it was observed that
he simply bowed after the European fashion

The State Of Patrick.

There Is county in Virginia, which, from its
isolation and the very limited commerce which Is
carried on between Il and other counties Of this
Commonwealth, Is known as the State Of Patrick.
The State Of Patrick is rich in vast variety OF
agricultural and mineral treasures. Her tobacco
is the best in the world II King James had ever
tickled his royal palate with the tobacco Of Pat.
rick he would never have written his counterblast
against tobacco, and would no doubt have been
a much better monarch and man. Patrick pro.
duces immense crops Of corn and wheat, and
abounds In copper ore of most superior quality.
II Is large county in territorial extent and its In.
habitants may travel long distance without losing
sight of the smoke OF their own cbimneys, or be-
ing reminded by the smoke Of other cbimneys,
that there Is any other county in Virginia.
Yet, will II be believed, that so destitute Of
means of social and commercial communication
with the East is this extraordinary county, that il
Is the common custom there to convey manuiac-
tured tobacco by wagons from Patrick TO South
Carolina, Georgia, aud even AlabamaY South
Carolina money Is the currency Of Patrick. What
state Of isolation from Virginia But a better
era IL dawning The Danville railroad s drawing
near TO Patrick. IL will soon be at Danville, and
soon, we trust may traverse the intervening coun-
ty Of Henry and open the gates OF this Eden Of
Virginia. Recently, two prominent and estimable
merchants OF Patrick, Mr.. J. Il. Payne and Mr.. A.
A. Moir made their first commercial visit to our
city by way Of the Danyille railroad, aud made
their purchases here. The arrival Of these worthy
gentlemen IN our city may be considered an era in
the prosperity Of the road and the beginning Of a
trade which cannot fail Of adding vastly 10 the
commerce Of Richmond.

Missionaries in Turkey.

The following letter from the Hon. George P.
Marsh late Minister to Turkey, was read at the late
meeting Of the American Board ta3 M
BURLINGTON, September 8, 1865.
DEAR SIR: had hoped to be able to attend
the annual meeting Of the American Board at
Utica this year, but business engagements put il
out of my power TO be present on that occasion.
Although could have added nothing to the
facts OF which the board and the religious public
are already possessed, yet should have taken es-
peciai pleasure In bearing testimony, as an eye
witness, to the value and Importance Of the mis-
sionary efforts in the East, and the eminent pety,
zeal learning and ability Of the immediate agents
OF the board in that great enterprise.
The success Of these efforts to carry back to
their original source the lights Of Christianity and
civilization Is not to be measured by the results an.
parent to distant observers and however familiar
American hristians may be with the statistical
data OF missionary movements In the Turkish en-
pre, the vast significance of those facts can only
be appreciated by personal acquaintance with
the field Of operations.
The action Of the missionaries has, believe,
thus far not been impeded by the events Of the
war. IL that action we're now to be suspended,
as IL nfallibly would be by Muscovite triumph In
the present great struggle still the seed already
sown could not fail to yield harvest that would
amply repay the sacrifices It has cost to American
liberality and Amer ican devotion II on the other
hand, the Turkish government shall be left free TO
protect these efforts against the open rancor and
secret intrgues Of tle Greco-Sayic bigotry, there
can be no doubt that they win prove the most en-
cient means Of that regeneration Of the East,
which the barbarous element in the European poiit-
ical system is now exerting its utmost energies TO
smother 9 60 =.
have not the slightest doubt that the keen
sighted Layard Is right in assigning to this mani
festation Of the tendencies Of American institutions
In the East prominent place among the occasions
of the political and military movements which
have shaken Asia and Europe since 1853
The iron heel that crushed the rising hopes OF
continental liberty In ls49, is again armed to tread
out the glimmering spark Of civil and religious
freedom In the Oriental world. The friends Of hu-
man progress in Asia meet their most formidable
obstacle in the relentless hostility Of the great
conservative power Of Europe"
We have no right to doubt that these evil coun-
ses win be overrulcd for good, and we may well
hope that the second generation of our American
heralds of Christian truth and Anglo-Saxon civil
zation, who are now under such favorable auspi-
ces going forth as helpers and successors Of their
fathers, viii achieve results more valuable than
have as yet been accomplished by any Of the or
ganized charities Of modern times.

American Money Going to ireland.

or Yankees. We know well that all the grand
flourish Of the papers in the foreign interest over
the amount Of money brought into the country by
