FROM Rpss1A.-It affords qs pleasure to state
that, by o letter from Hon. ?. W. Pickens, our
minister at the Russian Court, we learn that both
himself, the members Of the legation. and bis
family, were well, and much pleased with their
experience (thus far) of life in St. Petersburg
We take the liberty of copying few observa-
tions of general Importance:
1.-The interest of the two Governments (the Rus
sian and American) are becoming daily more init
mate. Our increasing settlements and trade in
California and on the Pacific ore bringing US into
intercourse with Russian possession on the Amour
river and the Asiatic coast as we'll as with their
possessions in America Tho trade Of the Amour
river is immense, something like $40, ,060, 900, o
year, and growing very rapidly. have consuls
under my jurisdiction through Asia as well as in
Europe, and their reports and accounts to me bring
me into official communication with q large por
ton of the globe. had no idea that the actual
business of this office was as extensive and impor-
tant as It's. We have large American merchant
houses In this olty and American ships at Cron-
stradt are more numerous than those Of any other
nation except Great Britain. Thirteen ships ar
rived this season direct from Charleston and New
Orleans, loaded with cotton, without having touch
ed at Liverpool at ALL as has heretofore been the
case. The direct trade must increase every year.
Manufactures in cotton are increasing immensely
about Moscow; and one may see loads Of cotton
here every day in the Streets passing to the rail
road for that point. "-Edgefsld Adpsrtissa.

MARK THEM.-The American Missionary Asso-
citation held its annual meeting recently, in Wor-
cestcr, Mass. Delegates from various parts Of
the country were in attendance, and the anti
slavery sentiment seemed rampant; overshadov-

We believe this body represents the new school
Presbyterian church. The following paragraph
closes an account of its proceedings. It might be

THE BALLOON RAcE.-The Cincinnati Gazette
gives full details of the balloon race between Pro-
fessor ]. Il. Steiner and Mons. GODDARD. For
time they were so close together that they toasted
each other over bnmbers of sparkling Catawba,
and afterwards, at height Of 5000 feet, come il
collision, without doing any serious damage.
The eronauts started from Cincinnati at 421,
and Mons GODDARD landed at about twenty min
utes past ten, fifteen miles West Of Sandusky,
having been up about six hours. Prof. Steiner
landed at 1890, having been in the air ten or ff-
teen minutes longer than his competitor; and hav-
ing travelled in the six hours and ten minutes
about two hundred and thirty miles, landing just
outside the incorporate limits Of Sandusky.
Both could have travelled considerably farther,
but neither having knowledge Of the wherea-
bouts of the other, and not feeling disposed to
attemptto cross the lake into the Canadian forest,
they descended and returned to town together
over the Hamilton and Dayton Road.
According to the stipulatious Of the race, sign
ed and witnessed before starting, it was under
stood that the aronaut who made the greatest dis
tance, without regard to time, was to be declared
the winner, and we announce the fact that our
young American aronaut has borne off the honors.
