a RUSSIAN SrAMPEDE.-St. Petersburg
papers contain an account OF The depopula-
tion of an entire district by fright, which
occurred in July last, on the Asiatic frontier
beyond the Ural. On the Sd Of the month
the whole population of two villages,
KosloKka and Samlauko, suddenly appeared,
with all their moveabIe property, in the dis
'rict town of Novosergievsk. with the in
teiiigence shat countless hordes of Bashkirs
had invaded the neighboring village of
POkr"wka. They also stated that the
nondic tr ibes OF Dasbkirs and Kirgl eses
were overrunning and laying waste the en-
tire country. The inhabitants of Novoser-
gievsk were Panic-stricken by the news, and
fled PreciPi:ately, communicating their
fright to the region through which they
passed The entire post-ropd from Samara
10 orenburg was in moiioR, and on both
sides of the road, for a distance of ffty
versts, wherever tie rumor reached, the
people fed helter skelter. In three days
twenty villages were depopuIated, and in
twelve others the inhabiiants were on the
point of leaving, when news came that the
rumor was unlounded. The report seems
to have originated with an inebriuled gov
ernment official.

Randall, in his life of jefferson, SAYS he
finds the following passage in Mr.. Jeffer.
sons celebrated instructions prepared for
the guidance of Members OF G. ngress from
Virginia:
"The abolition of domestic slavery is the
great object Of des ire in these colonies,
where it Was unhappily introduced in their
infant state. But, previous to the enfran.
chisement of the slaves we have, il is neces
sary to exclude all further importations
from Africa. Yet our repeated attempts to
effect this, by prohibition, and by Imposing
duties, which might have amounted to
prohibition, have been hitherto defeated by
His Mslesty's negative; thus preferrng the
immediate advantages of few British cor.

to protect him from the merted vengeance OF the
people of the latter place. Mr.. Jenkins, the victim
Of Lane, it is said was highly respectable gentle
man. and commanded very much of the public con
hdence Hs@h
There is in this extraordinary sequel in the career
of Lane an impressive lesson which we trust will not
be without effect upon the country He was a zeal
GUS and credited republican leader impartng to his
political associates large share of the extreme and
mendacious spirit which has characterized that or
ganization out of the Territory. There was in his
active political life very much of the ilberaty and
selfrighteousness which constitute the special gifts
Of New England republicanism. What the Tribune
is to the press Lane is to the members of his party
With jaundiced vision and chronic habit OF col
oring all his subjects with sectional prejndices,
never thus dealing fairly by either side, and always
offending the impartial judgment of the country, he
has gone on from step to step to his present soil
tude, which is invoked as protection against the
outraged aentiment of those whom he has so long
used and abused. ~ ~
