THE FOREIGN NAILS
THE RUSSIAN MANIFESTO.
New YORK, april 26


The foreign mails by the Arabia left
this city for the South last night, and may
therefore be expected in New Orleans
on the morning of the I'd prox.
The Imperial Russian Manifesto to the
country, in reference to the conclusion of
peace, throws the whole onus of the COM
mencement of war upon the Western Pow
ers. The Allies are declared to have
been repulsed, both on the north side and
on the south side, in the prolonged de-
fence of Sevastopol; and the fall of Kars
is spoken of as an event adding not lit
tie to the renown OF Russian arms. The
manifesto finally states, that, as the Sui
tan has granted to his Christian subjects
these rights for which Russia had con-
tended in their behalf, Russia, to hasten
the conclusion of peace, has consented to
the adoption OF certain measures of precau-
ton, destined to prevent collision between
vessels of the two Powers in the Black
Sea, and also to the establishment of a
new line of demarcation between the two
countries in the southern part of Bcssara-

THE GREAT DICKINSON

-
7 HAVE purchased the patent right for the
l. above great Corn Shelters for the State of Ar
kansasand will at as early day possible, be at
Little Rock, prepared to sell machines and the
patent right for counties throughout the entire
State.
The rights for this celebrated Corn Shelter have
been disposed of for every State in the Union at
enormous rates, and it needs but to be seen to
commend itself to every practical man.
1t commends itself,
1st. BY its cheapness.
I'd Durability, simplicity, lishtness, portability
and no chance to get out OF order
3D. The manner OF doing its work-and this is
curious enough. In all other machNes the corn
is removed by a grinding, crushing, nnashing
jamming process, but in this it is picked off as
child would do with its fingers
4th. No matter what is the size of the cob, or
shape every kernel is .aken off and done so neatly
that not even the chut or husk that holds the corn
is at all disturbed OF rubbed off hence the corn
is clean-deposited in bag or box, while the
cobs unbroken are laid on one side by the machine
itself.
5th. All other machines require so much power
that they are almost useless, while this is run and
fed by boy of IL years old, who will shell irom
so to 80 bushels day.
9th But the most wonderful performance OF
this curious machine, is the fact that it shells Wet
and Green corn, just as easily as Dry corn
7th This is the only machine that will select
and shell corn for seed, without injury TO the
grain.

Mr. Fillmore's Strength in New York.

Whatever doubts may have hitherto ex-
listed as to Mr. Fillmore's political strength
in New York, and as to his prospects of
obtaining the electoral vote OF that State
in triangular contest, we apprehend there
can be no such doubt now In the mind of
any intelligent man. The result of the
recent Spring elections in the various
Towns and Counties of the Empire
State, shows that he is all powerful there,
and leaves no doubt of his strong hold up
on the confidence and support Of the peo-
pie Take, for instance, Auburn, the
home of Senator Seward, where the Amer
lean ticket was elected by large maiori-
ty over the combined forces who had
formed a fusion against it. So in Little
Falls it triumphed by 80 majority over
both tickets; in Greenbus;l by about the
same average majority; in Oswego by
2O0 majority; in Troy, Mr. Slocum, the
American candidate for Mayor, was elect
ed by 80, where last Spring he was de-
feated by 1 II, and the entire municipal
victory was complete over q fusion of De-
mocrats and Republicans; In Sing Sing,
where last fall the American ticket had
less than 100 votes out Of Csc, ii now has
an average majority of 80; in Piermont
and many other townships through the
State, similar re-ults have transpired.- =
This shows the American cause is onward
in New York. IE9Dress.

We closed our last weekly review upon an ac-
tive and buoyant cotton market, the sales of Fri
day having reached il, 500 bales under the lnfu-
ence of the Batics advices, at advance OF about
&c. for the day. This large business left but
limited supply of desirable lists the market for
Saturdays operations. and factors were still
hrmer In their pretensions, the sales of the day
were confined to about $500 bales. The Africa's
advices appeared in our issue of Sunday morning,
and lully confirming the favorable accounts by the
Baltic, induced buyers to enter the market freely
on Monday, curing which day about 5000 bales
changed hands, mostly at further advance of tc.
in the rates. On Tuesday factors were very
stringent in their terms. but as the AIagos ad-
vices were considered due. but few buyers came
forward and only about $500 bales were disposed
of. the rates being very full, without however,
establishing any further qnotable advance On
Wednesday the full prices were claimed, and the
continued delay OF the foreign news brought the
market nearly to a stand, and the sales hardly
reached 800 bales Pretty much the same con-
dition OF things existed yesterday morning. but
subsequently few buyers came forward, and the
sa les of the day reached about $500 bales, the
greater portion of which Was sold before the
Arabia's advices were generally known To-day
factors were claiming very fully prices on the
strength of the news, but buyers did not generally
respond to their views and only about 5000 bales
changed hands at about previous rates. The sales
of the. entire week thus sum up barely 31,oOO
bales the market closing at about the range OF our
quotations, as follows:
