JUSTICE N RUssIA.-A st. Petersburg letter in
the Emoncjpat of Brussels relates the follow
curious story:
"Priuce Leon K Otchoubey of rich and ancient
family, man of an imperious character, had long
employed as his land agent Austrian, named
alone together in the Princes cabinet warm dis
cusson arose about some account. A pistol was
suddenly Tired, which wounded the agent in tn e
side. When some Of the household rushed in to
see what had taken place, the Prince accused Saltz
mann of having fired the pistol at himself in spir-
1t of revenge, and to drag the Prince into a crim-
nal trial. On the other hand, the agent asserted
that Prince Leon had fired at him in fit of rage
The medical men who were called in declared that
that the wound could not have been produced bv
the mans own act The case came before police
tribunal, presided over by a Gen. Pool. The ipfu-
ence brought to bear on the court led to declara
ton that the Prince innocent, and the unfortu-
nate Saitzmann, being declared guilty of wounding
himself, was thrown into prison. The sentence in
due time, received the confirmation of the Cover
nor OF ST. Petersburg, and the affair seemed at an
end The wife of the imprisoned man, however,
was woman OF energy, and she went about from
door TO door with her four young children implor-
ing every one to aid her in obtaining justice. She
was at last called to Tsarskee Selo and also impr-
soned, leaving the children to be provided for by
any one who mis- ht have pity on them Public ru-
NOR brought the case to the knowledge of the En-
peror, and he ordered inquiry to be instituted by
the Senate, whose decision one doubts Of The
following are said to be its dispositions Ist Satz-
mann, having been unjusty condemned, has a right
to Tx the indemnity which the Prince should pay
him; secondly, the Governor who confirmed the
sentence cannot be reached in his person. as he is
dead, but his memory shall be branded with repro-
baton; and thirdly, Gen. Pool is to be tried for
injustice, and his two assistants in the affair shall
be iarly treated

1HE FRENCH SoCiErT OF ACCLIMATIZATIoN.-Wh hat
we lind has been done by the French Society of Ac-
climatization, is by no means trifnr Years AGO.
we were accustomed to hear it wondered WHY the
useful and incredibly profitable Yak, or OK of
Ihlbet, which is the hardest Illuminating animal in
existence, was not known to Europe? In 1854 the
Society in question bought herd of Yaks, and has
succeeded in acclimating them. More recently it
has established the yam regular French vege-
table, by distributing several hundred thousand
bulbs, and also the sorghum or Chinese sugar cane
which bids fair in central and southern France to
become the principal food for cattle and the main
supply OF sugar. The Loga very hardy buckthorn,
from which the celebrated Chinese green is cx.
tracted, has also been introduced To these we NAV
add the Angora goat the silkworm, which feeds on
the castor oil plant and common easel the oak leaf
sikworm, and also the far-famed Chinese nettle,
from which it is said, that fabrics of stronger and
more glossy character than those made from either
ordinary lax or hemp are manufactured. A spe-
cies OF very fruitful and singular pea, which pro-
duces oil very abundantly and is excellent food has
been also introduced, as well as the wax tree and
varnish tree. With the view of restoring the
hne qualities OF the potatoe, which have been to a
great extent lost by two extensive cultivation in
Europe. and by disease, the Society has imported
large number of roots taken from the sides of the
Cordillera mountains piece of land in the Bots
du Bouogne has been granted by this Society, with
view OF establishing geological and botanical gar
dens, In which may be acclimated foreign animals
and vegetables, that may produce articles either of
utility or luxury. The expenses to be borne

PRoFIrABLE RArLRoAD.-A letter from one of the
officers of the Don Pedro IL. Railroad in Brazil da
ted the 18th of September says:
g We are running 80 miles and expect to add 81
miles in about month. The whole length of the
road will be about $50 miles. Our receipts upon
tue 80 miles average now between $500 and 5000
per day, and reaching sometimes $1,000 When we
reach Bilem, (at the end of 3s19 miles, we shall
much exceed 81 900 per day."
This shows most astonishing result-S360 900
of road earnings per annum on 3S% miles of road
upwards of So, 600 per mile Allowing one half
OF the gross receipts for running expenses the nett
earnings would be nine per cent cost of $50 600

MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR OF MAINE

Governor Morrill,, in his message, delivered to
the Legislature on Friday, advers to the financial
condition of the State, and says it demands the
most exact economy in the public. service The ex-
penditures have been constantly augmenting until
the ordinary receipts behind the annual de-
mands, and the annual expenditure now averages
Sl64 600 over the annual average of ten wears ago
This increase is attributable to the more wise and
liberal policy for the promotion of education agri-
culture, &c; but there is still greater vigilance and
watchfuness needed. The receipts of the year are
estimated at S36S,000, and the expenditures at
S43l GOO. The Governor urges large reduction
in the legislative expenses, and recommends bien-
NAL sessions. He then speaks of the needs of the
agricultural interests and the capacities of settling
lands He refers to the Arostook emigration; but
without any definite recommendation as to State
aid, he leaves the matter to the Legislature He
recommends State Normal School, and also a re-
newa of the authority to the Land Agent to grant
permits to cut timber on the public lands He re-
ters to official investigation of the alleged frauds
in the recent election at the Madawaska settlements
and suggests additional legislation to preserve the
purity of the ballot box. He closes upon the sub
ect OF federal relations, an: says the State rights
should be vigilantly guarded. He regards the new
policy OF the Federal government upon the slavery
question as injurious to the rights of the free
States, and calls upon the Legislature and people
to maintain their resistance the extension of sa
very.

ANN McMuLLIN, wife Of Joselh McMullin, of
Perryville.
She was IL woman of rare virtue Her heart was
full of benovoencc and charity. She beloved
by all who knew her Her disposition ami temper
were mild and tranquil and though she was called
upon during many years of her life 10 encounter
many trials, yet she meet them all without a
murmur until the morning Of the day of her death;
early on that day, while working in her garden,
she called one eff her little daughters to her AMI
said that she felt her time was fast drawing to
close that her % heart would soon break, and
{" then all her trouble would be over" Alas!
poor woman, she, herself perhaps, did not expect
so soon to realize her anticipations On the
evening of that day she seemed as well as usu ii.
Suddenly, however, she was noticed to hasten up
stairs where she exchanged with little daush ter
few words of dying regard for her family, and
instantly fell dead. Her immortal spirit had
win red its way to country where there are no
brok hearts and vile sorrow AMI affl'ction can
never come. She was about 43 years of age
She leaves n family of or children; some of
whom are cutie small. May our good Lord pro

Mr.. EDITOR -" Fdes." your Fourth

ship. It may be remarked in passing that
it is ordinarily the extravaganza of public
cfficials that invites criticism, but in this
instance, at least, the reverse is the case; it
is their economy that is questioned. The
privilege Of censorship is the undoubted right
of those whose suflragcs elevate their fellow
citizens TO posts of responsibility and trust,
1t is a right however, that should be cxcr-
cised in all candor and truthfuncss. Ifnoth-
ing should be extenuated, certainly nothing
should he set down IT. malice in exercising
this privilege. Now it is conceived that both

tnissioncrs in the articles referred to, whether
out of +" malice or from other motives,
shall not attempt to inquire. This much
however is apparent from the article of
Hdes 2" that, Notwithstanding he sets out
to give facts and truth, he d,cliues refer
ring to the improvements that hare been
made in the 4,h District, but entirely iguor-
ing them, leaves the impression from the
general tenor, if not specific language used.
that the important manufacturing interests
Of the 4th district are entirely crippled for
want Of such facilities as might have been
afforded by the favorable action of the Co.
Commissioners on the petition for road down
Big Elk Creek. Now If this be true, the
information have obtained in regard to the
rcmonsrance against the proposed road, is
certainly rather surprising. That Mr. D.
Lord. having three mills, at as many different
points on Big Elk Creek, and largely interes-
ted in such road If at all advantageous
should be SO ignorant of his real interests
as large manufacturer, as to oppose such q
proposition will seem incredible to those who
know his reputation for shrewdness. Yet
such learn is the fact. Mr.. Lord has other
interests. however, in common with other
land owners on the route Of this road it is
presumed, and he consequently unites with
almost every owner of land on the west side
OF Big Elk Creek, from SCOTS Bridge to
Ricketts, Mill, in demonstrating against it.
AS to the efforts that, according to- Fides, y
were made some fifteen months since, am
informed, (indced Fides " admits,) that the
