The following article, from the Mos
cow Russia) Gazette, q powerful and
influential Russian organ, confirms the
ideas we have heretofore expressed,
that Russia will be anything but salts
fed with the result of The late war;:
"Russia is threatened. Germany,
strong and united, is approaching
nearer to our frontier, and threatens TO
become masters Of the only sea which
secures our communication with the
world. The ties which unto the pco-
pie and States oftho Austrian Empire
will clearly soon be broken, and in her
place will be established q political
State whose power may be directed
against the most vital and dearest in

but lately under the protcctorate of
Russia, and depended on us more than
on the Sovereign Of Turky, have been

cision Of European Conference, into

dynasty Of U0hcnzollcrn. In short,

about Switzerland with great success
this summer, but at Friburg last
month. the male elephant, over fatigu-
ed By the constant marching, and irri-
ted by the rough treatment Of his

tossing him to q great height, on his
fall crushed his chest with his foot be-
fore any assistance could be afforded.
As it is generally understood that af-
ter once killing a man those animals
are dangerous, the director Of tho cir
Il decided upon having il killed and
for that purpose applied to the autHori-
ties Of Friburgh for a piece Of cannon.
This was granted, and the animal hay
ing been cnticed into a favorable posi-
ton, the gun was fired and tho brute
fell dead.

There seems to be a growing disposition on
the part OF the people of the South TO accept the
Constitutional amendment, and thus do away
with the pTetext afforded to the radicals for hos
Il e legislation towards them ON the ground of
their alleged intractability. The Charlottesville
(Virginia) CtrOnGcie says:- "The Southern
people want rest. To secure it, they would
accept the Constitutional amendment. Qua
rantee them rest, and every State will ratify the
amendment" The Raleigh North Carollna)
Standard calls upon the South ito take
this amendment to avoid further and
greater evils" while the Charlotte North
Carolina) Democrat prefers the adoption of
the proposed amendment tn the Establishment OF
our State governments, p" "enforced negro SUIT
iTage," and 'con6scation." The Newbern Times
tells the people that they should now hasten to
adopt the Congressional plan, and thus secure
immediate tranquility, and admission into the
Union. The Charleston Is. O. Ne1cS is now
convinced that there is no other course open
to the Southern people, while the Savannah
(Ga.) Republican points to the amendment as
the Northern ultlmatum, and adds that
nothing more will be required of them. "The
New Orleans Picdy,ne is now presenting to It's
readers, from day to day, practical reflections
upon the amendment" wherein the measure is
shown TO be not so unjust and unreasonable as
many are disposed to think it. Within brlet
time the Richmond and. in fact, nearly all the
Southern journals, have exhibited very per-
ceptible change in tone.

their honeymoon on Friday, Saturday, and Sun
day, determining that on Monday morning they
would settle down to commencement OF their
new life, with all it's business, responsibilities,
trials, etc. On Monday morning they rose at
an early hour, and robing themselves in their
everyday attire, went to breakfast Each COM
planned of being seriously ILL., and neither could
eat. The husband was compelled almost i'm
mediately to retire to bed, and in few minutes
his wife followed him. A physician was sent
for, who, upon arriving in the sick chamber,
and after examination of the patients, pro
nounced their disease the cholera. Immediate
attention was given to them, but during the day
they continued to grow worse, aud at 4'3O
O'Clock the husband died. His body was re
moved to an adjoining room. His wife was
also in collapsed condition, and at $50 o'clock
she too followed her husband into the dark
valley of the shadow of death. The bridegroom
and bride were robed in their wedding clothes
and on Tuesday were buried IN the same grave
