PRINCE PAskrBwITcH--The death Of this
venerable Russian Marshal has already been an.
nounced In his early youth he entered the ser
vice of the Gar as one of the Imperial Pages,
and has ever since continued 10 the active militia
ry service Of the Empire. He took part in the,
campaign against Turkey of ls06-9,-also in
that of lsl2-l5,-was Commander-in-Chief of
the Russian forces in European Turkey and
Asia Minor in lsas-29; and for his success du-
ring this latter campaign received the supreme
command of the army Of Poland. After his
suppression of the Polish insurrection in 1872
and his occupation Of the capital, the Emperor
Nicholasi conferred on him the title and prcce-
dence Of Prince of Warsaw. The next ofeasion
on which the Marshal was called on 10 take the
field, was that of Russian intervention in HIM.

NEwBERRY AND AUGUSTA RAIL ROAD.

An article appeared in our last number fr3m
the Augusta Chronicle g. Sentinel, on The subject
of connecting that city with the Greenville Rail-
foad. Among other points Of conn ection, that
or Newbery is named We invite the attention
of our citizens, both Of the town and country,
to this subject. The connection with Augusta
would give superior advantages over tnat with
Colu mLi, and Charleston. Augusta i. Il very
superior market TO Columbia. and we would
also be brought In nearer connection with the
West whose productions would be brought to
us cheaper. Augusta is now cIo.ely connected
by the great Railroad system Of Georgia with
Mobile and New Orleans, the great markets
whence our sugar and molasses come, and also
W ilh Tennessee and Kentucky, the great source
Of supply of bacon and other provisions.
uhe interest which our citizens have in the mat
Ter, will be clearly seen, when it is remembered,
that freight from Charleston to Augusta is scnrce-
" half what it il from Charleston TO Columbia,'
and that the freight from here to Augusta would
not be more or very liule more than it j. to
Columbia, since there is little difference Of dis
lance. The reason Of tue lower freight from
Charleston to Augusta than to Columbia will
operate permanently, SINCE it arises from the
competition OF The water navigation TO Savan.
nah, as well IA Of the Railroad in Georgia now
completed from Augusta to Savannah. From
this cause. n bale of cotton is carried from Au-
gusta 10 Charleston for fifty cents, whils froR
Columbia it cost one dollar twelve and half
cents, although the distance is about the same.
There is of course like difference of freight be-
tween these points, on all other articles, dowa
and up
The city Of Augusta can best take care Of ITS
own interests, and it will determine which Of the
two Roads it is most expedient for il to give
assistance to. that by the Savannah Valley to
Anderson, or that which would give il connec-
lion with the Greenville Railroad at some lower
point, as that of New Market. 1t might be best
for Augusta to have both Roads, but if it has to
choose between them, it is for it to consider
whether the latter would not combine, in great
measure, the advantages of both.
We can also assure our neighbors of Augusta
that the completion Of this project would be of
vast advantage to that city. The trading of this
section of South Carolina would become trfbu-
tary to her, and she would received the large
portion of the trade that centres here. The
town of Newberry is now the main seat OF the
cotton trade in all upper portions Of the State
Fifty thousand bales Of cotton are annually ship
ped here, and it would all 60 to Augusta and
much Of it be sold there.-Nerberry Mirror. =.

W The following letter from Westport, Mo-,
in relation to Kansas affairs, was handed US
by one OF our county men. 1t gives some IN
forma ton in regard to affairs in regard to that
territory which we do not find in the public
prints, and will be read with interest.
WEsrroRr, Mo-, June 80, SO.
Mr.. EpIToR:-Afer making passing call
at some of the river towns, arrived at Kan
sas City yesterday, on board the steamer Sui
tan. find that many acquaintance have
emgrated to this new and interesting terrific
nv. On board the Sultan were about sixty alb
oltionists from New York, well armed and
coming to Kansas for the express purpose of
warfare. Above brunswick we met the Star
OF the West, with eighty dis,rmed abolition
ISIS. in charge of handful of Missourians.
The Star hailed pur boat, which hove to, and
she came along side, wien about twelve men
rushed below with revolvers AID threatened to
shoot any man attempting to leave lie Sultan.
The disarmed party wished those on the Sui
tan to return, but the Mssourians had BET
ter trap for them above. Only one shot was
fred gra zing mans hand, when the boats
separated In few minutes the carpenter re-
ceived orders 10 make two boxes, feet long
and 2 feet wide, in which were placed the arms
Of the abolitonsts. On arriving at Waverly
in the night, the boys on shore got an item, and
about dozen of them walked very quietly
into the cabin, got the boxes and took them on
shore. AT Lexington we saw no signs Of dis.
turbance. We arrived at Liberty Landing al
daylight. On going TO the guards saw about
one hundred bayonets shining through the fog.
In few minutes delegation came on board,
and soon returned and reported no arms found,
but small party escorted the Workers up the
river. heavy piece Of artillery guards the
landing at independence. Another escort join
ed US on board the wharf-boat There is here
a perfect floating battery with two eight poun-
ders. The Sultan returned this morning,
having on board all the abolition passengers,
among whom the escort had found fourteen
more repeaters. If they continue in the same
ratio TO disarm the,n-l40 in one week-Kan-
sas will soon be supplied with arms.
A gentleman on board the Sultan, learning
mr. Dissipation was Kansas City, informed me

81 No, l. vol 3. of the UNITED STATES MAGA-
ZINE lies on our table. It is tho first number that
has been presented to our editorial eye, and on
examining it, we are constrained to acknowledge
that Mr.. Emerson gives more valuable and inter
esting information for his subscription price
than any other magazine editor. The paper
type and illustrations vie with our old establish
ed friend, "Harper." 1t falls behind in nothing
but size, while the readable articles are perfect
in their kind. There are biographical sketches
of our living celebrities in literature and politics.
The present number gives us striking likeness
Of Judge Mclean Of Ohio, as well as an authen-
III, sketch of his life. Our national capitol is
finely described and illustrated, and the editor 8
Clio contains Maggie Bell, an original American
poem. NOT after the manner of Hiawatha. Pub
lished by j. NJ, Emerson, d Co.; price 81. per
annum.-No. Spruce street, Ney York.
ES- The July No. of "HARPER' is also before
us, and the face Of all old familiar friend coGta
scarce be more welcome; for we have been favor
ed with such hasty and occasional glances of its
contents of late before it was carried off in tri-
umpb by some lover of literary gems, that we
know but little of its virtues. We intend COM
plete enjoyment Of this number, as its appearance
promises "a feast of fat things.
The title-page of "GoDEY'' flashed across our
vision some weeks since, almost as suddenly as
the lightning darts across the heavens We are
guiltless of knowledge ofits contents, but have
heard the echo of its praises, which are as usual
--well-deserved.

we learn that the crops are almost entirely cut
of, and the same is the case in some spots in the
eastern counties but north, in the counties
along Red river, whore they have had on abund-
ance of rain and favorable season, the crops are
said to be excellent.
