Hamors Of Our Rubsinn Pax,

The advantages obtained ty the
acquisition and the great character
les OF Russian America havaDct ts
gun tobe considered yet.
II is a-n.ice country,
The following gentlemen are al
ready talked ofthero as representa-
tives to Congress: John Frost, Esq.
A. V. Snow. l. s. Borg and Ivan
Smithski.
The country has always been
celebrated for its furs; a well.knowu
agricultural asserts that FIR trees
may be seen growing thcro In the
open plaine in the summer
months. Congress is now dehber-
ating upon the subject of sending
such resolutions as have to be
referred to this region, for that
purpose, as it would be a great saw
ing ofexpense.
The fisheries can not be too
highly appreciated; indeed, Secrat-
ary Seward made o pretty kettle
of fish in buying the territory
There are some species Of fish that
have not yet been mentioned, 1.-THE
SHOWS. melt there in summer, and
a species Of suckers" that will soon
manifest their presence, now that
the United States has its lines
round the coast.
Trade is also good; the former
posscssoro did q rushin business.
The election teturns will always
come in promptly, the inhabitants
live so near to one Of the poles.
The climate is delightfully."- mild,
for 1t is reported that the Governor
and bis staff wear.s-no-(w) shoes
in trarersing the territory.
Since The ratification of the
treaty stoves have gone up; and, az
il was reported that hardware.
generally, would become good
property, many politicians have
had hopes of their consciences,
which are noted for hard wear.
1t is thought that standing
army will have to be maintained
there, as the Russians report slay-
ing among the natives all the year
round. The army will be uniform
ed in frieze.
Esquire Maux, a Justice Of the
Peace in some Of the extreme up
per counties, has petitioned for
them to be set of as d new State, to
be entitled L. $. place Of the
seaD.
An investigating committee from
Congress will start Immediately to
ascertain if it is the place of the
green seal" as it is reported that
water is SO scarce, the people fnd
rain dear there.
Notwithstanding but few heated
arguments among the people, great
coolness of prevails in this country
between friends, the principal
point Of difference being the treez-
ing point.
Travellers represent the past sea-
son in the territory as very gay:
the principal balls of the season,
snow balls, were a round of enjoy
ment to the. projectors, and tho
acknowledged hits ofthe season by
those who came in contact with
them. The upper provinces play
their cards well, and "old sledge"
is popular.
The great seal Of the Territory
will be furnished at any time by
the inhrbitants, who have seals
enough of all sizes for any purpose.

The Dayton Journal reports the
fasting old gentleman Of that place,
as having returned to eaFthly apPe-
tites again, us follows: 1t isiust two
months since old Mr.. Brown, the
veteran cordwainer, tasted food.
We have this on the solemn word
of himself and family. During
this time he asserts that he was
fed by the spirits, but their food
was so ethereal that he rapidly fell
away from a robust condition to
almost a skeleton. Yesterday
morning, however, the spirits
ceased their visits as provlsioners,
and Mr.. Brown being thus cut off
from his Heavenly mamma" re,
covered his appetite. 1t appears
that very early yesterday morn
ing, he felt craving for lemonade.
and his wife procured a lemon and
orange and made him a very nice
beverage to drink. lie quaffed 1t
with great relish. and declared il
| to be the best lemonade he ever
drank. Having thus again tested
earthly sustenance, his returning
appetite craved something more
substantial, and. be ate with evi,
dent satisfaction some toast. and
drank some coffee, yesterday. Mr.
Brown, we learn, already feels in
vigorated by his return to human
diet. May his shadow increase

[From the independently
COmplimentary---Very.

Our Secretary of the Treasury
has had the distinguished honor Of
being complimenled for his fnan-
cial ability by Mr.. Gladstone, ex.
chancellor Of the exchequer, in a
speech in Parliament. But Mr.
Gladstone had sometime before
paid some very handsome compli.
rnents, in the same place, TO Jefer.
son Davis. and congratulated the
head rebel Of the Confejeracy on
his success in creating new EN- d.
pire. OF all the statesmen in Eu.
rope, Mr.. Gladstone is the one
whose Compliments an American
ought least to desire. The ex-
chancellor Of the cxchequer is a
very elegant speaker, we have no
doubt, and a geod Greek scholar
but he probably knows a good deal
more about the finances of Athens
in the time of Themistocles than he
does about Mr.. McCulloch's man
ugemenJ oI our Hnances IN the
time of Johnson. lie seems to i'm.
agine that our Secretary of the
Treasury holds a position similar
to that of the British chancellor Of
the exchequer, and that he shapes
the financial policy Of the admins
tration. Our financial successes,
however, which elected the
praises of Mr.. Gladstone, have
been achieved in spite of Mr.. Nc.
Culloch's wishes and recommen
dation, and not in consequence Of
them. If he could have had his
way, we should have been in q
very different condition from what
we arc at present. Mr.. Gladstone
only looked at the. general exhibit
Of our financial experiments; he
seems not to understand that they
were the natural result of a system
which Mr.. McCulloch had no hanC
in framing, and which he wOnlc
have prevented if he could. Prob
ably Mr.. Gladstone did not know
that Mr.. McCulIoch's policy is t
convert non-interest- bearing deb
into an interest.paying one, by thc
destruction Of the currency which
has thus far enabled US to weather
all storms, or he would have beer
d little more sparing of his compli
ments to our financial secretary
A drain of specie now would cause
us no more inconvenience than ;
drain of lead er pork. The tire
mendous financial disaster which
occurred in England but a year age
was caused by just such piece o
news as that which sent up tb,
price OF gold in Broad street las
week. When it was known in
London that Prussia and Austrii
were on the point of war, the Banl
of England at once doubled it
rate of interest, and commenced
the policy of cont action as a meas
ure Of safety, and brought ruin up
on hundreds of British merchants
The panic in London would hav'
extended to New York, if we ha,
been doing business on u speci
basis and the whole commerce @
the country would have beeI
thrown into confusion, from whicI
we could not have extricated oui
selves in many years. Happily
we not only escaped all harm, bu
were enabled to send gold enoug
to London to greatly mitigate thei
financial distress.
