Famine.

A famine is raging at the present time
in certain provinces of Russia, lying
aroaod the gulf of Bothnia and the shores
of the Baltic--Livonia, Esthouia, Caur-
land and Finland--that strikes terror
in the hearts of psople in the great capt.
tails OF St. Petersburg and Moscow. These
provinces are 6rocky and arid surface,
not penetrated by railroads, the victims
of three bad years of production, and at
present without either bread or the seed
for another season. The roads are in
such state as to render it next to i'm
possible to reach the inhabitants with aid.
They. are crowding into the villages and
settlements, where disease adds to the
fatality of their sufferings, and hunger
becomes intensified accordingly. Fin
land contains about million and three
quarters Of souls, while the other three
provinces named contains, perhaps,
hundred thousand more. Last year, in
Esthonia, no rain fell for three months,
or during the entire summer. Bread is
now out of the reach Of all, and the wan
faces of the oeggared inhabitants are the
picture of human despair. N

More Land Wanted.

The World says that during the few
days session of the Forty-frst Congress,
bills were introduced to give to railroads,
wagon roads and canals no less than
ISL, 945,645 acres of the public lands.
Congress has already given away to rail-
roads 1874 $4,000 acres of land, or say,
as much land as there is in all New Eng
land and New Jersey, Ohio, Maryland,
Virginia and Delaware put together, and
now another slice of the same size is to
be given away With this gift it is pro-
posed to hand over also $ll4, 100000
worth of bonds. At this rate, Wa shall
soon need Canada, Mexico and the whole
of the West India Islands to supply de-
ficiences alone. Go on, gentlemen
There is plenty more land out West. 1t

ful coincidence the railroad companies
seem to get it at about the same price.

There was no attempt made by the
United States authorities to put stop to
the expedition, although the administra-
ton must have been aware of il, as the
relatives of some young men on board
telegraphed Secretary Fish to have the
vessel stopped. The United States au-
thori!ies here excused themselves on the
ground that as President Grant had not
issued any neutrality proclamation they
had no power to prevent an expedition
from going to Cuba or any where else.

A NASTY RETREAT.

The Union and american, journal
published at Nashville, in the interest
somewhat Of Andrew Johnson, has fled
before the well-timed scourging admins
tered by the LEDGER and other papers,
which cannot be made to believe that
his Excelleucy is otherwise than q politi-
cal cheat and fraud The last echoibg
words from our departing friend were to
this effect:
We are subjected to cross FIRE on the
subject Of "iree elections" The Nash
vile Times Of 1865, and the Press and
Times of 1869, and the Memphis Ledger
of 1864. published by mistake in the
year 1869, are combined in the attack.
We shall withdraw and leave our oppo-
nents a fair field and free fight.
We were quite sorry that our able CO.
temporary could not hold out a little
longer, and, if possible, to have obtained
more honorable terms of capitulation.
Bot the battle of words and ideas were
rather too hot and furious to be with
stood, especially when caught between
the fires. You, cir, have not demanded
liberal terms Of surrender, but we will
be maguanimous and not require you to
take an oath Of fealty which will dis
honor your name, as you thought all
true Confederates could have done
in February, 1865 We do not now
make it a condition with you to re-
joice at your downfall, which disgrace
was required by the teSt-oath as pre-
scribed by Andrew Jobnscr's recrgan-
izing Convention to the rebels Of
Tennessee. The deeds of daring,
which were preferred IN maintaining
what you thought right, should
be applsuded by all. And hereafter we
will be glad to strike hands with foe
who did not during the fight Or since dis
honor himself. Your case and ours are
similar to the relation il which the
North and South stood to each other
after the rebellion.
We ask nothing of you but what on
honorable man might do, and you
shonld not on the other hand ask South
erners to subscribe to oaths that would
be damaging to their regulations. Finis
