PRESENT DANGERS.

ain Russia itself the peasants are
suspicious of the mobiles, and their smouldering
anger may at any moment blaze out into hot
wrath. Little seems to be known as to the ORR
gin of the confagrations which have been late
ly raging in the great cities. 1t appears certain
That they are caused by inoendi~sivo, VA, Tie
actual culprits have not yet been detected. The
conservative party are accused of instigating
the people to excess, in order to make the EN-
peror relinquish his reforms in disgust. But
the suspicion seems TO be unfounded, and it is
probably the agents of the republican propa-
ganda who are how writing their gospel in let
tiers of fire, with the intention OF frightening
the government into more rapid progress, and
of startling the people into revolt.
"rhe lower classes of st. Petersburg are
panic stricken, and will most probably be driven
to fearful excesses if the fires continue. 1t is
said they flung two suspected incendaries into
the flames during the recent burning of the
Apraxin Drov, one of the cheap bazaars of the
city, and in such cases the innocent generally
suffer for the guilty. So common are the
threatening notes now being circulated in the
capital, that the very children play at fre-rais-
ing, and boy of eleven yaers old was detected,
few days ago, writing on his tutors door,
This house shall be burned down tonight
Even if the accounts are exaggerated, it is evi.
dent that there is ground for serious alarm. and
it is with the greatest interest that we should
watch the progress of events, and very deep
should be our feeling of respect for the ruler
who is striving to hold the even tenor of his
way, though surrounded by an opposing court,
and menaced with the ingrattude of an angry
people"

AMERICAN BABIEs.-I must protest that
American babies are an unhappy race. They
eat and drink just as they please they are
never punished they are never banished,
snubbed and kept in the background as child
ren are kept with US: and yet they are wretch
ed and uncomfortable. My heart has bled for
them as have heard them squalling by the
hour together in agonies of discomfort and dys-
pepsia. Can it be, wonder, that children are
happier when they are made to obey orders
and are sent TO bed at six o'clock, than when
allowed to regulate their own conduct that
bread and milk is more favorable to laughter
and soft childish ways than beef-steak and pick
les three times day that an occasional whip
ping, even, will conduce to rosy cheeks 1t is
an idea which should never dare to broach to
an American mother but must confess that
after my travels on the western continent my
opinions have a tendency in that direction.
Beef-steaks and pickles certainly produce smart
little men and women. Let that be taken for
granted. But rosy laughter and winning child.
ish ways are, fancy, the produce OF bread and

ONE THOUSAND YEARS OLD.

"The thousandth anniversary Of the existence
Of the Russian empire is close at hand A
thousand years have all but passed away since
the time when Rurik gathered up the scattered
rens of government, and consolidated the fail
ing republican institutions of the north into
the vigorous Savonic monarchy. 'On the 26th
of August, 1862, shall astonish Europe" the
Emperor Alexander IL. is stated to have said.
On that day, when Russia completes its millen-
mum, great festival was to have been celebra-
ted at Nijny- -Novgorod The emperor was to
have gone there, and delegates from all parts
of the empire were to have assisted him in SOL
emnly inaugurOting great monument, erected
in honor Of the fatherland, and dedicated to the
memory of its illustrious dead. But it is now
reported that the festival is to be postponed till
September, on account of the ominous excite
ment whcih is manifesting itself throughout the
empire, and the emperor will have another
month in which to consider in what manner he
may most efficiently accomplish European
surprise. Meanwhile many an anxious eye is
gazing in the direction of st. Petersburg, and
very uneasy must be the minds Of the watchers
who strive to read the signs of the times from
the palace windows of Vienna and Berlin.
Strange sounds are waited to their ears on
the breeze which blows from what used to
be the stronghold of despotism. Long silenced
voices are making themselves heard, names
which were scarcely whispered in olden times
are now being spoken aloud by thousand
tongues. and the unfamiliar murmur of an an
CRY people is waxing stronger day by day.
EMBARRAssMENTs OF THE EMPEROR.
at is difficult to conceive more embarrass-
ing position than that of the Emperor. He has
been styled Alexander the Well-neanng, and
he fully deserves the epithet His intentions,

About the Gun-bOat.

Having received many communications and some
contributions with the assurances of any further amount
that might be needed to aid in the construction of an
rOncad wer steamer for the defence of this river and
harbor and being ourselves convinced of the great in
portance of such movement the great value of such
means of deence-its ndispensablty indeed under
tain circumstances we took occasion to bring these con-
sderaons to the attention of the public and to urge
the Importance of organized and systematic effort TIE
communications we publish to-day show the character
of the response our appeal has met with bat not its
tent. We ourselves have been surprised to find how
promptly and freely the people of the surrounding
ties prepared to forward to organize and to
give literally, largely. The contribution from Captain
Cornehens company speaks for ITSELF and for the brave
and generous soldiers by whom it made We publish
this and the other liberal offers of produce ETC., from
different patriotic parties to show the spirit abroad
also, an eloquent appeal from lady to the women OF
the State for the same reason.
We are now, however, enabled to inform our readers
that this whole matter has been undertaken by the Con-
federate Government to an extent only limited by the
resources of this State and section in materials and la
Dor. These we all know are limited. The effort to
construct an roncad boat separate and independent oil
the government would only have the effect of dividing
the resources available in this section and of delaying
and confusing the operations of the government for
complshing the very end. The general good can
be best promoted by cooperating with the naval au
thorties, not competing with them By aseertaining
from Mr. Cassidy, or Mr.. Berry, from Capt. Muse
the kind of timber wanted and getting it promptly,
fair price being paid Or where labor can be had, OF
iron or other materials can be got.
