RUSSIA AND THE UNITED STATEs.-The at
titude of Russia toward the United States is set
forth in an interesting account of recent inter-
view between the prince Gortschakoff and Bsy
ard Taylor, secretary of legation at St. Peters
burg. The prince expressed with deep feeling
the desire of Russia that peace should be some
how restored before the strength of IL C republic
was exhausted and Its position before the world
was lost. Yet, he continued -
Russia alone has stood by you from the first.
and viii continue 10 stand by you. We are
very, very anxious that some means should be
adopted, that any course should be pursued
whlch Will prevent the division that now seems
inevitable. One separation will be followed by
another, and you will break into fragments"
Mr. Taylor replied that with the loyal portion
Of the American people, peace on the basis of
separation was regarded as equivalent to perpet-
ual war, and that the only peace we could offer
OF accept without disgrace and ruin, must come
of the absolute triumph of our arms
You know the sentiments of Russia" the
Prince exclaimed with great earnestress eve
desire above all things, the maintenance of the
American Union as an indiyisible nation. We
cannot take any part more than We have done
We have no hostility to the southern people,
RUSSIA has declared her position, and will main
!aln IT, mere will be no proposals for inerven-
ton. We believe that intervention could do no
good at present. Proposals wiH be made 10 Rus
S'G to join IN some plan for Interference. She wH
refuse any Intervention Of The kind. Russia will
occupy the same ground as at the beginning of
the struggle. You may RELY upon it, She viii
notGhange. But we entreat you to settle the
difficulty. | cannot express to you how pro
found are the anxetes we feel how serious are
our fears"
We were face TO face during the conversation,
and the earnest, mpassionate manner of the
Prince impressed me with the fact he was sneak
ing from his heart.

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS IN THE Dis

cited by the preliminaries of congressional
election. am sorry to say that the Unonism
OF many voters is of the most fishy kind. 1t is
very apparent that the "hesh pots of Egypt" are
not forgotten, and that the restoration of the
Union means nothing more than again getting
possession of the niggerS. This party has ac-
cepted for their candidate gentleman who was
prominently member of the convention that
voted Louisiana, against the wishes of the
people, out of the Union. | understand, how.
ever that he can not take his seat in con.
gress. even if elected, as the oath necessary to
obtain a seat could not be taken by him. New
ertheless, he has the impudence enough to run,
and people enough, claiming TO be loyal, who
will vote for him, il he will give them a chance.
Hon. f. H. Durell, president of the finance bu-
reau, and b. +. Flanders, Esq, present city treas
urer, are the accepted candidates of the Union
conservatives, and it is probable that they will
be elected. These gentlemen are uncompromis-
ing in their politics, and will be satisfied to give
nothing else than an unqualified support to every
measure that will vigorously prosecute the war
to put down the rebellion.-Neio Orleans Cores

A FRIENDLY APPEAL.-The British and For
eign Anti-Slavery Society have issued very
friendly address to the people of England, COM
mending the efforts of our government to their
sympathy and good will. The ground of their
appreciation is the signal service which the ad-
ministraton has thus far rendered to the cause of
human liberty, through cumulative series of
acts beginning with the revival of the dead laws
against the slave trade, and ending with the pro-
clamat!on of the % of September. While they
deprecate resort to arms, even with the avcwed
purpose of promoting the extinction of slavery,
they repeat their conviction that the govern
ment, for what it has of necessity done, has es-
tablished a just claim upon the sympathy of the
friendssof freedom throughout Europe.
