+ Russia ansl the United States.
ANDREW G. BOYD, Editor.

G9"Eypry{ one must haye., noticed
within the last few years, the re M arkable
degree of cordiality and affection that
secms to have sprung up between these two
great despotisms and the oglings, ,coquetries
and tender denominations of mutual aifec-
tion, that have, passed between them. Os
q truth the Russian bear apd the American
eagle, or rather bws.ard, secm to be en- :
amored oe each others charms, nor are
these amorous demonstrations much to be
wondered ut when wa consider the striking
points Of ressm blance between these two
governments. Russia presents herself as
the personifcation ofrule and brutal force,
while the United States represents a ty-
ranny no less brutal or oppressive and far
more malicious and diabolical. 1o5g7ue
There is a, striking similarity too iii
prominent events that have lately occurred d
in the management Of the internal affairs
Of the two nations.
The dismep,bcrment and partition of
Poland, which called down upon Rus
sia the scorn aud execration of the civil
lizad world, has been equalled and even
surpassed in b,rbarity by the provisi ons
Of the Stevens. Sherman, Shellaberger bill
reducing the citizens Of ten States t. >sla-
very,
The emancipation Of the Russian scrfs,
and the abolition of American slavery,
were measures that occurred almost SIM
ultaueous!y in point ef time, and were
bota considered as trinmphs of Freedom,
FAR morerapparent than real in their effects
One of the last acts of despotism which
we see chronelel in the Russian papers,
is the determination of that Government
to oobiiierate the name of Poland. which
will su2planted next month by the "Mil-
itary District of Warsaw" The name of
"'Nirginia."'i The birth place Of Wash

How Rothschild Made His Fortune.

Rothschild's grcastest Achievement in
over-rcaching distance and bis fellow
speculdtofs was in 1857 He was near
the Chateau1' Hougouni mt on the 18Th Of
June, watching, as eagerly as Bonaparto
and Wellington themselves, the battle 'of
Waterloo. 0 An day long he followed tho
lighting with strained eyes, Knowing that
on its issue depended his welfare rs well
as Europe's b AZ sunset he saw chat vic:
tory was with Wellington and the Allies.
Then. without monuments delay. he
mounted horse that ha1 been kept in
readiness for him, and hurried honiewatds.
Every where on his road fresh horses or
carriages were in waiting to help him over
the ground. Ridiug'or driving all night.
he reached 0stend at daybreak. To- end
the sea SO stormy that the boatman refused
to. trust themselves to it. At last he pre-
vailed upon fisherman to maks the YEN
ture for 4 reward Of $50. In that way
he managed to reach Dover. At Dover
and at intermediate stages on the road. Is
London other horses were in waiting anil
he was in London before midnight % Nsxt
morning, the n'orhiig ofthc Goth of JGpc.
he was one OF the first to enicr tue, Stock
Exchange, In gloomy whispers lie, toll
those who, as usual, crowded round HIM
for news that Butcher anil his i'fnssians
had been routed by Napoleon before Wei
lington bad been able to reach the field
that by himself he could not possibly sue
cecd, and, therefore, the cause Of England
and her. allies was lost. The funds fell as
they were mcant to fail. Every one was
anxious to sell. and Rothschild and his ae-
credited agents scoffei at all Who brought
them scrip to purchase But scores OF
unknown agents were at work al that dsy
and all the next. Before the Stock Ex+
change closed on the afternoon of the Sec
ond day, when Nathan Rothschilds strong
boxe were full Of paper, he announced ali
hour or so before the news came through
other channels. the real Tissue pf tho con
test. Very soon tho funds were higher
than they had boon during many previous
weeks and Rothschild found that he bad
made something like million pounds by
his quick travelling and clever misrepro-
sentation. Other millions were collected.
rather more slowly, by other transactions
Of like nature. ~ ''' -

ET When the Radicals captured JEFF
ferson Davis, yell of triumph went up
from the masses ofthat party throughout
the land. 49,. -'.,':'..
But there were those among the Radi-
Gals to whom that capture was not a source
of delight; these were their judges and
rejecting minds; they saw little into the
future, they knea v that he would have to
be tried, or that they would be compelled
to bear the disgrace of holding a man in
perpetual captivity, in land that boasted
Of its laws and liberty. .. az. .a..v tcr
They have Davis now and can try him
at any moment, but they shrink from that
responsibility. as from death itself. .r-
They know that the trial of Davis, will
be more dreadful ordeal for them than
for him.
They know that the past is 2 full Of
speeches, resolutions, and political essays
emenatingi from themselves, -justifying the
very things Davis done, and endorsing tho
sentiments aud promulgasing, the opiu-
ions he aetedIspon. :. !, Tar. :. ..
They are fully conscious that the trial
Of Davis by them, will be but their trial
before people whom they have deceived
and misled. and that although they may
take has life, they can never blot out from
the astonished people their onn records
They know that whilst their Judgment
on him may cut him off from among the
living, ,7they themselves will still live, but
live under the witheripg scorn Of peo-
pie not yet wholly lost to every sense of jus
tice or shame. -. .- ~f''at ;
:. They know that if it shall be said of
Davis he acted treason, it will then
become known that they preached ii, years
and years before the great Rebellion, and
thatit will present strange and ugly
sight TO witness them, condemnng to the
gallows the man who put into practice
doctrines, which they and their ancestors,
as we'll as he. land his ancestors, believed
TO be true, from the foundation of the
government down to the election of

SATURDAY MORNING, 81 O'CLOCK
Synod was called to order and prayer by
Rev. ]. Simpson Frierson. Minutes ofthe
preceding day read and approved.
Rev. DR.. r. A. Young, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, and the Rev. Mr..
Campbell, of the Presbytery of Potomac,
we're invited to sit as corresponding mem
bers.
Several members were granted leave of
absence after O'Clock this P. NJ.
The time for the next meet of the Synod
was fixed for Thursday, 22d October,

Committee on Bills and Overtures, re-
port no business coming into their hands
aud were discharged.
Resolutions were adopted directing the
Stated Clerks of Presbyteries to collect and
forward Synodical tax TO the Stated
Clerk of the Synod as soon as possible.
The Committee on Memorials, reported
appropriate memorials on the death of the
Rev. VIM. Eagfeton, d. D., who died in
Murfreesboro, March 18th, l866-aged
seventy years; Rev Robert Hardice, D..
D., who died in Marshall county, on 4th
September, 1S67-sged eighty years Rev.
A. A. Doak, D. D., who died near Clarks-
vile, May 25th, lS66-aged fifty lone years,
and the Rev. Isaac n. Caldwell, who died
at Union City, Tennessee, May 10th, 1867
aged thirty-two years.
The Rev. W. L. Rosser made an encour-
aging report on the state Of religion within
the bounds Of Synod. Although there was
much cause for humility on account of the
! little that had been done in the churches,
/ vet there was much to encourage the heart
| and cause thankfulness. All the Presby-
| teries had enjoyed seasons of revival in
some Of their churches. They report six
hundred and sixty added on profession and
two hundred and thirty-eight by letter
still it is recorded with grief that so few OF
those brought into the church are willing
to devote themselves TO ths gospel minis
try. Marked success had attended the Sun
day-school instruction. Daring a revival
in one of the churches last winter some
seventy had been thus brought into the
church. The ministers continue to hold
service for the colored people, sometimes
separately, sometimes with the white con-
gregation, still with little success. In re-
ference to benevolence, the churches seem
to have contributed literally, and TO have
complied with their promises to their pas
tors.
| In conclusion, Synod desired to aceepl
with humble gratitude the goodness of God
which has been vouchsafed to us, and viii
