Central ASia-RuSsia.

The latest kilograms concerning Central
Asia intimate that Russia has followed the
example of England in her early policy to-
wards India. The Car has deemed it best
to make sort of treaty, which secures to
the Emir of Bokhara the paraphernalia OF
authority, while Russia is to hold the rod
over him and his people and command the
resources of the country. This tyranny
will steadily increase until Bokhara will
become o petrifaction-her original ele-
ments being entirely supplanted by the
Russian.
1t is further announced that, having eff
fected this Judgment in Bokhara, Russia
signalizes the extent of her power while
she indicates her policy of hostility to Great
Britain by prohibiting trade between Box
hara and India. This is blow at British
interests in Asia which will be received
with growlings by the Lion. But Russia
will 60 on fortifying and extending her
positions until she fairly hedges in British
India towards its western boundary. She
will soon have her continuous lines of rail-
way to the Caspian, and thence to her
farthest possessions beyond. At the same
time she is strengthening her southern
border on the Black sea by prosecuting the
last link of railroad communication between
that sea and the Baltic. This will be soon
finished. These strides of the Car will
very probably soon bring about moro coun-
ellis among the other great European Powers
on the subject of the Eastern question y
question which grows more and more
complicated. The Car will probably con-
slider it very impudent proceeding for
those Powers, seeing that oil of them have
their conquered possessions. The Lion,
having devoured his many victims, has no
right to complain of the Northern Bear for
those which have persisted in his embrace.

The Embassy.

The BURLINGAME mission from China
by which the Yankee has made game Of
the Chinaman--is enjoying itself finely at
a cost at least of 100000 per annum We
see it authoritatively announced that this
embassy has gone to Niagara, where they
will remain until the 10th of August, when
they win depart for Europe. 1t is the
most witty and jolly embassy that ever
went abroad. What is the purport Of the
mission to Niagara is not stated. We sup
pose treaty will be entered into with the
venerable Roarer, in which the parties
will agree to let each other alone, and Mr..
BuRLINGAME will, in o parting speech, as
sure the King of Falls that he will carry his
portrait along with the Christian religion,
and present them to the Emperor as the
wonderful creations Of the greatest and
most peculiar people on earth
We trust that BURLINGAME will carry to
the Emperor of China an American empty
barrel, not only as mathematical of his own
sounding and empty mission, but as pat
tern to the Chinese, who, we understand,
cannot to this day make barrel with two
heads in it All their barrels are frkin-
shaped, having head at the large end and
q close-ftting stop" on the other. Such is
the form of the Chinese barrels-even their
water-casks on their war junks. The lower
classes Of Chinese are said to be quite su-
perstitious about the European and Ameri-
can barrels. They think that some being
having supernatural powers goes inside the
barrel to fix both heads, and when they are
fixed he jumps out at the bung-holel BUR-
LINGAME might enlighten them about this,
which would be the only return the Empe-
ror would receive for his $4,000 paid to

Radical Disappoin tment.

The Radicals are greatly disappointed
by the result of the senatorial elections in
Georgia. 1t turns out that one of the
newly-elccted senators, Mr.. HILL, is a
Democrat, and the other, being elected
over the doublc-dyed Radical villain BLOB
GETT, is not at all satisfactory. HILL, in
order to give the clearest proof Of his po-
sition, made SEYMOUR and BLAIR speech
in Atlanta the night after he was elected !
Both the Radical nominees were defeated
in this untoward election. The fact is, the
signs that with all the scoundrelism Of the
Radical measures, they will probably fail
to bind the sout hern States to the car OF
the Radical Juggernaut are sorely embar-
raising and grievous to the Radical leaders.
Defeat leaves them without hope or conso-
lation. When good men fail they are con-
soled by the rectitude Of their Intentions;
but defeat to bad men takes away every
thing save remorse!

"The Real brotherhood" u

=
The New York Herald, noticing the
views upon public affairs of . prominent
southern gentleman, says athat there is q
"full and satisfactory sympathy between
g the best class of southern men and sthe
northern Democratic leaders; and this
"points to the possibility that, under a
Democratic administration, there might be
ga return to the real brotherhood Of the
:. old Union; that the Union might once
"more be such a one as would have the
:" heart Of the South beating kindly towards
cit, and in unison with the heart OF the
North" a
Very true. On the other hand, Radical
supremacy depends altogether upon the
crushing of every sentiment that may in
spire this feeling of brotherhood" 1t
depends upon the oppression or disfran-
chisement of not only the "best class of
southern men," but Of every southern
white man of integrity and substance, and
the placing in power-in control of the
Goycrnment-of negroes and white adVen-
turers and scalawags without character,
whose habits and crimes have driven them
from association with respectable people.
From this can arise nothing but malice and
strife. In this way Radicalism is but SOW
ing the seeds Of discord and hate. There
can be no brotherhood" no peace, nc
prosperity, as long as this plan Of main
tanning Radical rule is in operation.
1t may be asked what the Herald means
in expressing the opinion quoted from it in
this article. 1t is hard to tell what motives
actuate the Herald. But that paper GER
tainly tells the truth in this quotation; IN
which it but calls attention to fact that
must have been observed by all.

"work for Freetimen.p

'a Persons who want laborers are informed
by GREELEY that q number of negroes are
still in Washington unemployed. Upon
corresponding with Mrs. s. GnIrTrsc, Of
Washington City they may be. employed.
He does not believe in cheapening labor"
he says, and would not encourage any TO
apply who do not choose to pay fair
"wages." What impudence in q man who,
by helping to degrade the southern govern
ments, has assisted to ruin confidence and
break down labor! Fair wages" in
deei! How are they possible in q land
whose most important interests are de-
stroyed by the bad government of GREE.
LEY and his wretched party? There is not
money to pay wages. Lands are untitled,
houses unrepaired, and fences PROSTATE,
while laborers and mechanics are unem-
ployed, their families want food, and their
children are growing up in ignorance!
But as to these Washington City freed
men: how many Of them really desire to
obtain employment? Not great many,
we suspect. And again-how many are
needed at the North? 1t would be interest
ing to know this. The negroes would pro-
badly be amazed to learn the very few ap-
plications for negro laborers that have come
from Yankee-land. They would see hatthey
were not wanted there. The Radicals there
will not employ them. The Radicals wish
to make tools Of these unfortunate Africans
in order to Cypress the people Of the South !;
in expressing whom the negroes are inevl-
tably borne down and trodden in the dust.
Woe was the day to them when they COM
bined with scalawags and carpet-baggers to
destroy the interests Of the whites amongst
whom they were raised. They inflicted a
cruel stab upon their best friends, but in
striking the blow they cut off their own
arm. Suffer they must; but that may be
the only way in which they could be made
to see and understand the heartlessness and
greed of the people who have used them.

demanded by the educational interests Of
the Church and community at large ano
that the opposition which has been offered
to this action by minority of the trustees
is deeply deplored by their colleagues, who
now and hereby respectfully request that
they withdraw that opposition, as inJu-
rious to the interests dear alike to all-this
earnest and fraternal appeal being prompt
ed and encouraged by the very high esteem

DR.. Head, Darcy Paul, and Thomas
Branch, was appointed, and instructed to

CLIFTON, July 70, 1867.
This old Virginia mansion, situated on
the banks Of the Mattaponi, was once the
seat Of "Speaker Robinson " and the home
Of the refinement and hospitality of the
olden time. The house is built of brick
brought over from England, and in that
substantial style which eharacterizes the
buildings of the days before we had learned
to substitute shanS for houses. 1t is most
splendid estate, and worth trip from your
dusty city to look upon its broad acres and
cool shades. The river scenery here is very
beautiful, and all of the luxuries of tide
water Virginia abound. This splendid
estate has fallen into worthy hands-it being
now owned by Captain R. Il. Spenser, a
gallant soldier of the Twenty-sixth Virginia
regiment during the war, who dispenses the
Inequalities of "Clifton " in style worthy
of its ancient fame.

WASHINGTON, July 80, 1853.
The Radical members of Congress all
leave Washington with threats on their
tongues ends-threats of impeachment in
case the President should, in the exercise Of
hisright and duty, do anything which does
not meet with their views and, strange as
it may appear, there is no doubt of the fact
that leading Radicals-saot Of the carpet
bag order-entertain serious ideas OF bring
ing in other articles Of impeachment IN
September, and by the aid of the majority
which they have in Senate concentrating
what they have heretofore failed, to do IN
the way of ousting Mr.. johnson from the
executive chair of the Government. 1t Is
seriously believed that this game Will De
attempted in September for the very reason
that there is no doubt Of the fact that the
President will not cease the practical oPe-
ration of the measures which he considers
essential for the public welfare.
About three hundred inspectors, twenty
FIVE special agents, and ten revenue agents
have been mustered out Of Office under the
provisions of the new tax bill. l.

The Two Sorts of Radicals.

The New York Times recommends Mr..
CHARLES Francis ADAMS for the Senate in
place of Mr.. SUMNER. The Tribune grows
indignant at this, and charges the Times
with "trying to weed out of the party it's
" strongest, most sincere, and most devoted
members" Mr.. SUMNER the Tribune
or onouhces to he one Of this class of mem
bers, while it declares that Mr.. ADAMS oc-
cupies an "indefnite position"
The bare suggestion from prominent
and decided Radical paper that it would be
proper to elect gentleman of good mind
and moderate feelings in place Of SUMNER
is significant The more sensible of the
Radical leaders are wearied with SUMNER
and the ultras of party whose mildest
phase is INSCRIPTIONS selfshness. SUMNER
has gone too far. He is fool. The Radi-
Gals never intended that there should be
negroes in Congress, and his letter to south
ern negroes urging the election of members
Of their race to Congress has grossly
offended the Radical leaders. They are for
using the negroes to keep down southern
whites and permanently Radicalize south
crn States. They have no idea Of sitting
by negroes in Congress.
But this proposition to get rid of SUMNER
is more to be welcomed as concession to
public opinion. The Radical party is afraid
of the excuses of such men as SUMNER,
and have been particularly admonished by
the wild demonstrations of the new repre-
scntatives from the southern States to check
the excessive efflorescence of Radicalism.
They are afraid of public sentiment. Even
they perceive that there is point of i'm
pudence, brutality, greed, and oppression
beyond which it is not safe to 60. So they
are disposed to take in sail
We suppose SUMNER will have togo. We
would prefer, for the interests of the coun-
try, that he should remain in the Senate.
The follies and monstrosities of such
wretches as SUMNER cannot but assist in
hurrying on the revolution which will sweep
Radicalism and all its vile worshippers
from all public places.

THE IMPEACHMENT OF BUTLER.-The no
torious BUTLER will have occupation for
the summer and fall in defending himself
against the articles Of impeachment that
have been preferred against him by WOOL

money out Of him they will hurt him in
the only possible way; and BUFFERS anx-
iety is much relieved by the reflection that
no matter how the suit terminates his cha
racter cannot suffer.
