From Warrington.

Washington, Nov. Is.
1t having been previously stated that
the Commission of Internal Revenue had
established the receipts for revenues for
the present year at $50 million dollars,
there is authority for saying that no such
estimate has been made, and in no in
instance is it thought the receipts will
exceed $50 or IT'S millions.
Phillip Speed. Of Louisville, hos lcen
appointed tax collector for the third coll
Letting district, Of Kentucky, comprising
the present 5tb, 7th and Oh dls:iicts.
1t is true that foreign ministers lave
in their usuai respectful terms called the
attention of our government to complaints
on the subject of seizure of vessels run
ming the blockade, and it is certain they
are receiving the attention which their
importance is entitled to. They are com
PEELED in point Of fact, for the reason that
they involve principles Of international
law, but this is always going on, especial
ly in times of war and blockade. Old
cases are disposed of and new ones come
up daily, TIE sending ola commissioner
to New Orleans, and the appreciation of
his impartial report on the subjects which
be examined according to the strict prin-
ciples of law. is regarded here as an earn
est of the intentions of the administration
to act with circumspection and justice
regarding all matters in which diplomatic
relations are involved. Probably the
public will soon know that our govern
ment has in turn complained about the
Alabama, and in other cases of violating
neutrality. ..........
The meeting of Congress will as usual
bring out the correspondence, which can
not fail to fully acquaint the country with
the facts.

The Slavery Fight in RuAsIn.

The troubles of slavery are not confined
to the United States, but are shared by
Russia, nation more like our own than
any other in the world-a nation rough
indeed, In much Of its population, as it is
in the surface of It's country, embracing
within It's limits vast expanse of thlnly
settled territory, which answers to our
great unsettled regions in the valley of
the Salt Lake, and about the head waters
OF the Red, Arkansas and Missouri Riv-
ers. Both nations are rough, hardy and
vigorous, not yet grown to their prime,
and when fully matured, will yet rule the
world. In Russia, as here, has existed
sertdom and slavery. From the harsh
and severe Emperor Nicholas has descend
ed son who has inherited much of his
fathers energy. but who applies it upon
enlarged views for the prosperity of his
humber subjects, rather than upon the
formation of troops, as did his father
The Emperor Alexander has decreed the
freedom of the serfs. The decree met
with the violent opposition Of land own
ers. His plans were for this reason de-
layed. but not given up. With some
modification they have been successfully
carried out, and among ten millions OF
serfs, more than four millions have COM
pleted with their owners the arrange
ments for buying their freedom. This re-
suit IS cheering. 1t is not year since
the first movements for the freedom Of the
lower classes were made by the Emperor,
and within this short period, without
war or anarchy, the relations of a great

pretty solemn business to those who
have friends buried in that State, for they
