FEEEDoM IN RUssIA.-1ti is a remark
able fact that while our Government Is
endeavoring to strengthen and extend
the bonds of slavery, the government
of Russia is raising an immense num-
Der of subjects from bondage to free
dom. During the period between Mr..
Buchanan's first annual message and
his Lecompton message, banquet was
held in Moscow in honor of the eman
cipation OF the serfs Speeches were
made of a tenor such rs would become
Missouri after that state shall have got
rid of slavery. We take single ex-
tract from the remarks of NJ. Paulotf as
specimen:
"Gentlemen: A new spirit animates
us; a new era has commenced. Heaven
has allowed us to live long enough to
witness the second regeneration Of Rus
STA. Gentlemen, we may congratulate
ourselves, for this moment is one Of
great Importance. Ne breathe more
ike Christians, oar hearts beat more
MOLLY, and zoe may look at the light Of
heopen arith a clearer eye. We have
met to-day to express our deep and sim
cere sympathy for holy and praise
worthy work, and ace meet acithout any
nervousness to mar or rejoicing. Yes
gentlemen, | repeat it, a new spirit an
imates us, new era has commenced.
One of our social conditions is on the
eve of change. Ifw consider it in
the past light, we may perhaps admit
that it was necessary that it should have
been allowed to be as it was from the
want of a better administrative organi-
cation. and of the concentration in the
hands of the government OF the means
which have since given so great a de-
velopment to the power OF Russia
But achot acos noozaeaatariIy gas'sed to
the State acas lost to mankind. The
advantage cost an enormous price
Order aoithomt, anarchy acitsl'a, and
the condition Of the individual cast its
shaeloao ocer society at large. The
Emperor has struck at the roots ofthis
evil. The glory and prosperity Of
Russia cannot rest a1po,a institutions
based on injustice and .talsehood. No!
these blessings are henceforth to be
found in the path thrown open by him
whose name Russia pronounces with
respect and pride"

This new and elegant Hotel in this
City is now open and in active operation.
We make the announcement to the pub
lie with pleasure, because we have so
long needed it.
Our houses heretofore kept for the &C
eommodation Of the public, have done
the Bs ne could GHaef ihe circum-
stances, and have universally had the rep
utation of setting excellent tables, which
from the poor adaptation Of the houses
was almost all they could do. They de-
serve great credit for what they have
done, therefore, under the surrounding
circumstances, and from present indica-
tions, will have all the business they can
attend to, Notwithstanding the opening
and rapid filling up of the new hotel.
The prOprietOrs, Messrs MORRIsON
and WHEELER, we are gratiied to know
are giving the most perfect satisfaction in
every respect. That they will continue to
do so, the public may restassured; for they
are agreeable and gentlemanly in their

most a Wedding, Frustrated.

On the afternoon of the fifth two
young couple from Nebraska city arrived
at the Brownville House, having left be-
hind-not the Zone loved best" but-ob-
Jecting Mas and Pas. Steps were imme-
diately taken by the parties to become
united in the "holly bonds of wedlock;"
the first of course was to procure the
papers" The issuing officer was traced
to Nemaha City, who being buzily en-
gagged making fourth of july" and hav-
ing no blanks or record book, with him
gave an order to the Minister TO 'splice
EN-" and it should be fright in the NOR
nIng"-reg ular License issued. Thus
provided for, the Minister was summon
ed; a party assembled in the Hotel Par
Tor; the happy couple "on the floor"
ready to 'join right hands," and be pro-
nounced "man and wife" The minister
not yet having become possessed of the
necessary evidence to authorize him to
proceed, called for the documents" and
was handed the aforementioned "order,"
a glance at which caused a shake of the
head, and a-'this wont answer" There
was a "dead halt" sure; a "slip be-
twixt cup and lip" and whats to
be DONE" was the question before
the house" The couple retired to their
room and after consultation, a deputy
Judge" was thought of, who, upon being
found, issued the regular license, and the
"baIl went on."

delay had given material aid" to the

COMBINATION PATENT"
UPRIGHT STEAM SAW MTII.

This mill commands the universal admiration OF saw
mill men everywhere. As its merits become known, the
demand for it increases. Orders are coming from every
section Of this country, Canada, Cuba, and South Amers-
ca. 1t IS suited for every section Of the world wherever
there IS timber to be sawed, no matter Of what character
how hard, how large or how small. Two extensive. ma
n~ufactOrieS are now engaged in building these mills, yet
II is almost impossible to turn them out as fast as they
are wanted. They embrace several valuable patents
and improvements, and combine all OF the following ad-
Sfmpicity-Both the mill and power are so simple In
their construction that any one Of ordinary mechanical
ability can comprehend them, put them up and run them
without danger or difaculty. '
POTfd6ihty-The whole establishment can be very
quickly taken apart and put together, thus rendering IL
easy to be moved from place to place aSdesired, and saw
ing the necessity of drawing the logs a Eng distance to
DuTdbthfy-4t Is constructed in the u6st solid and
substantial manner, runs perfectly still, Is net Liable 70
get out Of order, and will last for years without repair.
RdptGity-It will saw faster than any other upright
upright mill. The speed Of the saw is about three hun
dred strokes per minute, and the feed from o~ne-eighth 10
three-quarters Of an inch per stroke. Thus, at q medium
speed the saw will cut through a log twenty-four feet
long in about three minutes. From this data any one
knowing the character Of the timber can calculate how
much it will do.
E6ficiency-It does its work we'll, cuts smootber ana
straishter than the ordinary mills, and the arrangemeut
Of the saw is such as to render Il utterly Impossible Tor
it to run out Of line.
ChedpRess-The entire lost Of the mill, with fifteen
horse power and everything all complete and ready for
running, boxed and ready for shipment in st. Louis, u
only S1.75O.
This mill requires less power to drive than any other
mill, and the power furnished is SUFFICIENT TO drive extra
machinery.

Steamer Twilight.

The government steam
er Twilight passed down the river yes
terday. She has been up above the
mouth of the Yellowstone. She had one
of the steam musical instruments aboard
on which was played as she neared our

ular tunes, which of course caused a gen.
eral rush to the wharf. On hearing it
we couldn't help thinking of "a Node TO

genius-"Spoons," if we remember right
when the machine first made its ap-
pearance as a Circus accompaniment.
