Cation I'm RuEsin.

or late years great increase has taken place in the
manuf.c,ory of cotton goods in Russia. Five hundred
factories are in operation in the Empire running 400 900
spindle. and emI ,ying moro than 100000 operatives
These factories produce 100000 paulds of yarn
aud cotton goods in proportion. Toe Russians have a-
ken to this line Of business with great spirit and de-
termination to push it to the utmost is this new and
increasing business which gives Russia more than sen
,menta interest in the Southern Oonederacy. She has
recently expressed her wish for the preservation OF the
Union and coupled il with the expression Of the opinion
that the South cannot be conquered and II folly to
attempt it. In tho present desperate fortunes Of the
Lincoln concern Seward catches at this equivocs sign
OF sympathy and Affects to be greatly delighted With the
patronxiog tone OF the Russian Autocrat That Potsn-
t.te IL he has hundred thousand subjects dependent
on South m cotton, viii very Jet the Yankees know
that be holds tbcm very cheaply.
We gather the statistical facts above gvsn from
"Loyds Gude"-A periodical formerly published In Nsv
York-but which suppressed by the Dsspotism there
prevailing on account OF The freedom with which de-
nouuoed the sboion,. The li,or s now in this city
aud we hope be will the publication Of this valu
able work in . land Of liberty.

Over the head Of Mr. Stephens, the Enquirer and Er.
aminsr are engaged in q very delicate discussion. We
copy an article from the Enquirer, which gives the
p iats involved in the controversy. The Examiner OBJ
ecs to Mr. Stephens that he was too long in favor Of
the old Union. The Enquirer responds that the same
objection would apply to AL who hold Office in the
Confederate States all OF hSm we're for maintaining

A gentleman, who recently in Maryland gives US
very interesting account Of the state Of feeling among
the people, and Of the horrible despotisn Of the Yam
tee mercenaos. Arrests nightly made Of the most
respectable citizens and In large districts of country,
men never sleep at home They seek safety In the woods
Rogueries and ou,ragcs Of oil kinds constantly per-
petrated. The negroes almost withou, an exception,
are true 70 their nute and have an intenser hate Of
the Yankees than even their mistresses have. Very
ofeu, through their vigilance their masters have been
enabled to escape the mymidoms Of Lincoln. Tho wish,
the prayer Of the whole population, white and black
men, women and CHI ldren 10 for the carly coming Of
Jef Davis Army Of DELIvEaANCE When that day
does arrive, it will witness such uprslng-such an e.
terminating fury the void has never seen. The New
York Herald states that the Maryland population is 90
intensely Rebelous that Confederate army could march
from the Potomac to Baltimore without tho faot being
made known to the Federal authorities by any oil the In

for liberty, have right to all our sympashss and 70 oil
