SPOKE YEsTERDAY.-Mr. Baumberger
an account of whose stabbing we pub
lished few days ago, without being able
to give any details, on account of his
not being able to speak, spoke yesterday
for the first time since his misfortune.
He states that while he was coming home
he was met by two white men, one imme-
diately commenced to choke him, while
the other began to cut him. They after
wards beat him, and then left him in the
gutter insensible. Some hours after
ward he revived, and called on man
who was passing to take him home, The
heartless monster began to search Mr..
Baumberger's pockets Here Mr.. b told
him he had no occasion for doing so,
only to take him home and he would
pay him well for it. The man here left
him, and he remained in that condition
until between four and FIVE o clock in the
morning, when he was found and taken
home.

All HElSI4.A AND RUSSIA

The reports which have been received of
the personal and of1ic;nl courtcsics and
honurs shown to our uavn1 officers In Russia
must bc gratifying to onr whole people. 1t
Is the more SO because We know It Is prompt
cd by honest and genuine feeling. It is not
like that friendship which Great Britain ex-
hibitsi pursuing us with every mean nnd in-
furious violation Of law while VIC were en-
gngcd in war, and then, the moment our
hands Tcre free, fastening With sickcn1ng
obseqoiousness to congratulate Us Us an old
friend upon having subducd tho rebellion
which threatened our national existence. The
friendship Of Russia is Of long standing and
hns been unbrokcp. Whatever International
love that sprung from tho generous aid given
usiu ourrcvolutiouary struggle by Frnncc, has
In measure waned Since then, aud Ia hard
1y entertained at all By the people Of the
two nations Of the present day. Bnt the
friendship Of Russfa for the United States
has been IN enduring ona, the same In our
days Of strife and weakness. as In our days
of power and glory. In. fact, during the
last 1Inlf century there has been no nation
in Europe upon whose kindness, or sense of
justice VIC cosid rely for moment In a mat
ter Of national Importance snvn Rnsssa,
From her position In the cxtremo north,
| she has always exhibited deep interest in
the welfare Of the American unlep. When
the Rebellion broke out her friendly note oi
sympathy aud encouragement contrasted
strongly with the hasty proclamat1ons o|
neutrality between the bcllfgcrcnts, whicl
were Issued by nearer powers.
The honors shown to the representatives
Of our gallant n navy, personal as they arc Il
1hc officers themselves, have much HiacI
Significance. They arc the tribute Of tht
Imperial Government to the grcat power O
tho Western Continent. II was a tribute 0
Imperial Russia TO the glory and nover.o
Republican America. Tho hopors wcra a
an unususl character. At the houscho1i
dinner the Emperor In person peopo.ed ,
toast to ''ths prosperity Of the Unitc,
Estates md their deputation, and continues
: "fficndshfp between Russin and A,ncraca'
{ This toast. VIC arc aure, will meet with
, ! hearty and universal response from th
); hearts Of every American. Long uuhroke
may be the friendship between Russia m
America. Both nations have made &h
century historica1ly great in the cmancip'
tlon Of millions of their people. Bot
. nations hnve put stamp OF moral and polis
