 PETERHoF, f7th August, 1866. aI have received from the hands of MT. Fox the resolution of the Congress of the United States of America on the occasion of the providential grace of which I have been the object. The mark of sympathy has moved me sensibly. It is not alone personal. 1t attests once more the senti- ments that bind the American nation to that of Russia The two peoples have no injuries toremember, but only good rela- tions under all circumstances. Proofs of mutual benevolence are added. These cor dial relations are as conducive to their in- terests as to the good of civilization and humanity, and answer the designs of Di- vine Providence, whose will is peace and concord among all nations. It gives me & lively pleasure to see these ties constantly stengt gthened more and more I have inn parted my sentiments to MT. Fox. I pray you to be my interpreter to Congress and the American people whom it represents. Tell them how much I appreciate, and with me the whole of Russia, the testimonies of friendship they have given me, and how happy I will be to see the American nation grow in strength and prosperity by Union and constant practice of the civil virtues that distinguish it, Accept at the same time the assurance of the high consid- eration with which am your good friend.

PERsoNA1.-Of several eminent French man, a correspondent, who has visited the Chamber of Deputies, writes as follows: Thiers bears his threescore and ten lightly, notwithstanding his checkered and labor ious life, full of accident, vicisitudes and turmoil He is as smiling, as placid, as nonchalant, as any old German proprietor you might 1chooses who had lived a life of indolent and wine-bibbing ease in his schloss among the forests. His great, square, expressive face, marked with many wrinkles yet evidently well fed, his bright, steady eyes beaming through his spectacles his hair, by no means wholly gray, the graceful ease with which he sits or rises to address the Chamber, the prompt energy and vim which bursts from him when the moment comes for an effective blow-these are the salient features of Thier's appear ance as one sees him from the gallery Favre is moro brilliant, more constantly on the alert, is more frequent and more bit ter in declametion and in all things gives evidence of restless and ever wakefal spir 1t. He has fine face, swarthy, longer and thinner than that of Thiers, with a black eye, gray hail, and beard almost white. He is feared more by the Imper- ialists, than any of his colleagues on the Opposition bench, and is, indeed, their recognized leader. Barrot is sober, thoughtful looking man, with grey nous tach, and sits with his head inclined down. ward-as if he still mourned the unfortu- nate and unwilling share he had in the revolution of 1848 Girandin is, on the contrary, sprightly, somewhat foppish in his dress, and that look for which the Amer ican vulgarism Smart is best adapted. He wears eyeglasses, moves promptly and evidently shares that nervousness of tenn perament which is so marked in his friend Favre. It is on the whole, remarkable group, and they seem knit together in pur- pose as one man. Orleanists-as Thiers- and Repubicans-as Favre-stand side by side as an opposition-ostensibly dynastic --to the present regime.

ScHoo1 FOR IMnEcmEs.--At the pleasant village of Lakeville, in the town of Salisbu ", is an institution in which every philan- thropist must feel Q deep interest. Its ob- ject is the amelioration, and, as far as pos sible, the elevation of the condition of that unfortunate class of youth whose minds have been impaired by accident, disease, or otherwise. It was established by the persevering and self-sacrafcing efforts of Dr. Merry M. Knight, who, after fully proving the importance and benefits of such training as the school affords received some aid from the State. Having recently spent day at Dr. Knights, we wish to call attention to his institution as one in every respect worthy the patronage of those individuals or communities under whose care there may be any of the unfor- tunate class alluded to. Under the excel lent and judicious management of Dr. Knight and his competent assistants, much sent there. The best of attention is given to their physical training and to the devel- opment of such faculties as they possess; and while in most cases there is very sat- isfactory improvement, in many the change is striking indeed. Dr. Knight and his es- timable lady seem to be admirably fitted for the important position they occupy, and we'll merit the sincere thanks and co-opera- tion of all the good.
 The school is delightfully."- situated on el- evated ground, and neara beautiful lake, commanding prospect of rare variety and beauty. Not far from the school is the elegant residence of Ex-Governor Holley, gentleman who has been ever ready to aid and encourage Dr. Knight in his noble mission. Any desirous of knowing more particularly of this institution may gain all needed information by addressing Henry M Knight, M, D., of Lakeville, Conn Coura,,t. ss-s-. ..

The teachings of Brigham Young are producing fruit with great rapidity in the land occupied and ruled by the Latter Day Saints. In addition to the outrages which we have already noticed, there come re. ports of others similar in character and quite as ahominable. A short time since some peaceab1e and law-abiding men, who had served gallantly in the Union army, -empted land on the Jordan river, about three miles from Salt Lake City. Brigham Young, probably disliking the increasing accession of sturdy and patriotic Gentiles. proclaimed in the tabernacle that stall those who located lands against the wishes of the Mormon church should be sent to he'll. In accordance with this denunciation, gang of rufians, who affirmed that they were acting under the orders of their sproph ct, visited the obnoxious settlers in the dead of night, dragged them from their beds to the river, tied two of them togeth- CT and threw them in. They drew them out again on their giving promise to quit the territory, but tore down their houses and destroyed their property. The en- fofcement of the civil rights law seems to be as inefficient in Utah as it is in the South, when the fanatic hostility of tks Mormons is opposed to it. 5fs
