Our ALLIES AND OUR ESEMIEs.-Therc Is no
thorn In the thick hide of John Bull so sharp and
CALLING as the long, unvarying friendship OF kns,
STA for the United States. Russia was our irivhh
during the Revolution. She has continued soever
since During the times of peace, the scientific
men of no land have been received by that Gov
eminent, employed, trusted and rewarded more
literally than our own citizens. Our engineers
have supervised the construction Of Russlas
railroads, efficiently and faithfully, and been CON-
nruraied in n spirit of magnificent gratitude In
our present National troubles, her Emperor has
remained true to the traditions history and friend
shin of his ancestors and people. His las been no
hypocriticnl prctencc OF neutrality IN theory,
while violating its spirit. No pirute snlPs 10 prey

than any other cause, has prevented an open rec

the French tyrant and English aristocracy would
not only entertain hopes OF our disruPtlohr Out
