~ An important feature in the
general markets at present. very
important one indeed-is the excite
ment in flour and grain, and the high
prices established. This is not the
result ef speculation, but of absolute
scarcity. In regard to wheat it may
be remarked that we are now feel
ing the full effect of the failure of the
last crop. The consumption has
now so far gained upon the supply
as to render it difficult for millers to
meet even the diminished consump-
tive demand for flour This of
course, excites a speculative move
ment, but the effect of the latter will
be to cause farmers to hurry to mar
ket whatever remains of the crop,
not only in this section, but through
out the country. Meantime, people
will be compelled to use a substitute
for wheat -four. Bread becomes a
serious item in household expenses,
when -four at retail } reaches $1,000
to S17,00 per bbl. Corn meal and
potatoes will Of necessity take the
place Of flour to large extent
The new crop of wheat will come
upon a market more bare than has
been experienced for a great many
years. This being the case, it is
particularly pleasant to know that
the growing wheat crop was never
more promising. In seme sections
the breadth of land planted was not
as large as usual owing to the scarci-
ty of seed, but there is, nevertheless,
a fair average of land under winter
wheat, and if the harvest turns out
as well as it now promises we shall
have large yield. The crop is of
course still liable to suffer, but let it
suffice for the present, that the pros
poets are excellent, and the season
decidedly faverable-Gin. Gaz.
A Big TRANSACTION IN REAL ESTATE
There is rather big item the telegraph
bring US on the subject Of the acquisi-
ton by the United States of the Rus
sian possessions in America, at price,
too, dirt cheap, and obviously only
named by our liberal friend, the Czar,
to relieve us from the embarrassment of
being under an obligation. These pos
sessions cover, it is supposed, about
364, 600 square miles-something more
than ten times the area of Virginia.
They have not heretofore, it is true,
been regarded as particularly attractive,
but there is no guessingswhat the great
Yankee nation will make of them. The
acquisition affords very favorable le-
verage for prying John Bull off the con-
tinent, and that, we fancy, was the chief
inducement in making the negotiation.
The territory contains about 10000
inhabitants. It comprehcnds all the
American coast of the Pacific and the
adjacent islands North of the parallel
of 81 40; extending some 600 miles, and
nearly excluding British America from
the ocean. Its chief value lies in its
fisheries and its fur trade. The princi-
pal settlement is New Archangle, a
town of about 1000 inhabitants, on the
island of Sitka Of the population Of
Russian America about $4,000 are Es-
quimaux, and the remainder are Rus
SLAMS, Creoles, Kadiocs and Aleeots.

case, before the q. S. Supreme
Court, to restrain the enforcement of
the Reconstruction Act, is still pend
ing, and has been followed by like
application on the part of the State
of Georgia, similar in all respects to
the fermer, with the exception that
the President is not made party to
the bill. 1t is intimated by the
Washington dispatches that the ap-
pllcation will be dismissed by the
court on the ground that they have
no jurisdiction in the premises. The
movement Is to be regretted, as its
effect will be to delay the work of
reconstructien at the South, and de-
lay still longer the restoration of the
Union. The sooner the whole ceun-
try settles down upon the late act of
Congress as finality, and goes to
work to reconstruct in accordance
with its provisions, the better it will
be for all parties concerned.

The Russian Treaty.

The Senate has almost unanimous
ly ratified the Russian treaty by
which that government cedes to our
ewn all its American possessions.
Mr.. Seward is in high spirits over
his success in carrying through this
little speculation in real estate, and
to say the least, this acquisition will
add considerably to the size ard val
ue of "Uncle Sans farm" More
careful inquiry into the wealth and
resources Of this section of country,
has gained over to the project many
who at first opposed it. If the esti-
mated area of the country be correct,
the price paid for it does not much
exceed two cents per acre. The
minerals, timber and fisheries alone
make the acquisition valuable one,
and we are inclined to think that we
have get the full worth of our money.
