THE RUSSIAN NAvY.-The Jour
nal of st. Petersburg gives some
details of the strength of the Rus
sian navy. 1t comprises two hun
dred and sixty-seven vessels, of
which two hundred and thirty are
steam. These include four iron
clad trigate, three iron clad batter
les and thirteen monitors. More
than one-half this immense naval
force is in the Baltic, where it is
frozen up about one-third of the
year. Thirty.two steam and nine
sailing vessels are on the Black
Sea, and twenty nine steam and
two sailing vessels on the Siberi-
an coast, in the North Pacific
The whole force appears to be well
in hand and very efficient. The
Baltic feet is ready for any Prus-
sian complications. Prussia has
nothing which can hope tocontend
against it. The Black Sea feet
is sufficiently strong to make a
dash against Turkey, when the
moment arrives for opening the
road to the Mediterranean. The
Siberian feet is well posted to
protect the aggressive movements
OF Russia upon the Chinese en-
pire and the northern island pos
sessions of Japan. While the rest
of Europe quarrels and wastes its
strength in silent warfare, Russia
progresses and swells her bounda-
ry lines.

70 Sumner, who is a pedaDtic,
inflated coward personally, has
made a stunning war speech
against England. The trncuIent
bravado of the Massachusetts
Senator stirred up all Yankeedom,
and the people who hired our ne
groes to fight us, and allowed Vir-
ginians to defend Boston against
the British in the revolutionary
war, were valiant as pot house
bulIies. They were in haste to
have a war. A row was just the
thing to show their substitute bra
very and to cement the nation.
All this is understood. New
England is only shoddy, and shod-
dy is anxious to have more con-
tracts. The fat things Of the war
department tempt the constitu-
ents of Sumner. They are not
prone to soldier much. Massa-
chusetts hired her soldiers every
where, in Germany, Ireland and
Africa. She buys the food she
feeds to powder, and when she
raves about war, just take it that
there is a small stealing job in
the wind [JefersoR6asa.

The Great Asiatic Section of
the Union and it's Vast Re
sources.

The completion of the Pacific
Railroad, in connection with the
wonderful discoveries of gold and
silver recently made in our new
States and Territories, from the
Great Plains west of the Missis-
sippi river to the Pacific Ocean,
has awakened a new and general
interest throughout the Continent
in regard to that interesting Sec
tion of the United States. It's
geographical features, here and
there, its soil, productions and
mineral resources, therefore, for
the information of our readers, in
a few general remarks, we shall
make the text of this article.
The territorial area of the United
States Excluding the detached
four. hundred and eighty-one thou
sand square miles of Alaska,
which for all practical purposes
just now may be left out in the
cold) is in round numbers three
million square miles-an enlarge
ment from about eight hundred
thousand square miles on the es-
tablishment of the Union eighty
two years ago. The section lying
between the Mississippi river and
the Pacific Ocean covers over two
thirds of this area of this three
million of square miles. Leaving
out the tier of States-Minnesota,
Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas and
Louisiana-on the west bank of
the Mississippi, the country di-
rectly under consideration en-
braces the following States and
Territories, east or in the Rocky
MOuutaIpc.

COTTON FACTORIES IN GEoR-
GIA.-The Augusta (Ga.) Chroni-
Gle and Sentinel gives a list of
twelve cotton mills in that region
which draw their supplies from
that cotton market, which aggre
gate over 10000 spindles and
over, 1000 looms demanding a
minimum average for daily sup
ply of more than ninety bales of
raw cotton. All of these mills
are prosperous and prospering.-
The Augusta factory pays it's
stock holders regular quarterly
dividends of five per cent, or
twelve per cent per annum. The
established dividend of the Gran
iteville factory is eight per cent.
All profits over and above this
sum is held as a reserve fund and
set apart as banking capital--a
policy made necessary by the ex-
listing limited national bank capi-
tal-which has been wisely and
profitably pursued. We derive
this evidence of the prosperity of
these mills from the regular re-
ports. The remainder of the mills
being close corporation, yield no
statistical information of their
prosperity.

The vast dimensions of these
States and Territories will be bet
ter understood by comparison with
the Empire State of New York,
the area of which is within forty
eight thousand square miles. OF
the agricultural resources of Texas
Kansas and Nebraska we need
say nothing; but the last two, in
addition to their Ane soil, have
valuable beds of coal. Of the
above named Territories, Montana
we place first in agricultural re-
sources, and it is hardly second in
its golden mineral wealth. 1t has
a thousand beautiful and fertile
valleys, watered by the numerous
mountain crystal streams which
make up the great Missouri. In
fact, as Minnesota is without q
peer In her peculiar beauties, en-
bracing ais she does the table for
est lands, with their countless
crystal lakes, lakes, which are the
sources of the Mississippi, so is
Montana unsurpassed with her
countless romantic mountain
streams and lovely valleys which
make the sources of the Missouri.
Wyoming, covering the head
streams of the great Yellowstone,
has, with its mines of gold, cop
per and lead, many of the natural
features of Montana, and the Pa
citic Railroad goes through the
heart of the Territory. Colorado,
with those grand and glorious
mountain enclosures, North Park,
Middle Park, South Park, &C.,
and with its lofty mountains of
Pixies Peak, the Spanish Peaks
and other snow-clad peaks, and
with its head streams of the Platte
river and the Arkansas flowing
east of the great Colorado of the
Pacific, is called the Switzerland
of America; but it is more beautiful
to the painter or poet, and infinite
ly richer in in its soil, to say moth
ofits gold mines, thanSwitzerland.
New Mexico, further south, has a
large extent of arid plains and
desolate mountains; but from its
great ranges numerous rivers, ra-
dating east and west, invite the
settler to their mines of gold, sill
yer and copper, or to the produc-
tion of corn, sheep and cattle

So much for these Territories
