RECEPTION OF THE RUSSIAN GRAND DUKE
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER %.

RECEPTION OF THE RUSSIAN GRAND DUKE
IN New Y oRK.-The reception in New ork,
was on grand scale scarcely any thing ever
seen like it. The people, it is said, seemed
wild with excitement" He landed amidst the
roar of cannon, the waving Of flags, and the
Ginning Of bells. There was splendid parade
Of troops, and Broadway was filed with thous.
anls of spectators An address of welcome was
made to him by Gen Dix. His reply was
IL beg to express my warm thanks for the
manner in which [ have been received. The
feeling which exists between Russia and the
United States is as strong as it is lasting, and
nothing can disturb it. / shall pass rapidly
through New York to pay my respects to the
President, whose high character is greatly ap-
preciated everywhere, but on my return | shall
have the pleasure to accept your hospitality so
kindly rendered me-" He reviewed the troops,
was serenaded at night, &c. From the Battery
to the City Hall the route of the procession was
marked by the most enthusiastic demonstra-
sious of welcome Indeed the windows filled
with human beings gave Broadway the appear
ance of a vast arena, along the sides Of which
spectators were seated land applauded when any
thing pleased them The newspapers record
the smiles and bows of the Duke. He could
not but have been delighted at the honors paid

JUpGING from dispatches and letters from
Washington to some of the Northern papers, it
might be inferred that this government is con-
tuua!ly upon the verge of unpleasant COM
pcations'' with some one or other of the great
powers of Europe; yet officially, the relations
with ''all the world and the rest of mankind
seem of the most friendly character, land indeed,
rumorS and reports to the contrary, there is
really but little doubt that so far as outside
matters are concerned all is ''peace and pleas
antneSs" 1t is only at home, only here at the
South, that instead of cultivating ameuity and
comfy, the dominant party and the Admins
tration, by unconstitutional and unjust acts are
continuing to engender i'll feeling and keep
alive strife, and by untimcly and oppressive
measures prevent the return Of happiness and
prosperity to down trodden and overpowered
people, who only ask at the hands of those who
have the power to be lot alone in the peaceful
pursuit of their own affairs. What common
tary upon republican institutions, that while the
government and people of the North are heap
ing all manner Of honors upon the representa-
tive OF the most despotic power in Europe, by
the acts of dominant faction here the story
of Poland is almost being repeated, and the
Pole in his atfliction can turn his eyes towards
free America and witness a state of affairs in a
portion of our country that must forcibly call
to mind scene at which the world uttered a
sish-the blotting out of nation.

The Philadelphia Record says:-''It occurs
TO US as curious coincidence that, while son
Of reiguing sovereign Of Europe is on visit
to our shores, the eldest scion Of our own chief
national executive has just left us on SIMILAR
tour among the realms of the older powers of
the world. 1t may, however, be doubted
whether the arrival Of our Fritz abroad, will
occasion quite as much commotion as that Of
Gar Alexander's son has created and will co.,
tinuc to create in this land. "

If any one has been induced to think, from
the reading of Mr. George Wi!kes's defence Of,
and excuse for, the actugs and doings Of the
Paris Commune, that the least degree of allow
ance should be extended to those concerned
for their atrocities, let him read an article on
the suhject,;n the last Edinburgh Quarterly Re-
view, and he will quickly change his opinion.
Surely, the record of the Paris Commune is
among 'the Loodiest pictures in the book Of
time"

The n Y Post says that, under the present
tariff, the manufacturers Of calico in this coun-
try are making about, one dollar on every piece
of cloth which costs not more than 50 So
about forty per cent. profit. The manufacture
of cotton goods in this country is not sufficient
to satisfy the demand The new mills now
building will not produce goods enough to sup
ply our wants, and the manufacturers will be
able, under the present tariff, to secure very
large profits for long time to come.

The practice INDUCED in by President Grant,
of writing commcndatory letters to office hold
ers, who are his favorites and who resign from
stress of circumstances, or other causes, is one
which would be more honorcd in the breach
than in the observance. There is a case in
poiut-the late Collector Of the port Of New
York. Other such cases will be remembered.
livery man holding an Office is bound to do his
duty, aud we DO not see the reason why the
President should recommend and endorse him,
when he chooses to resign. If Peter Billy is
complimented and praised, why should not
Jacky Oily be-they both resign, one as Col
lector, the other as Inspector.

TOMATOES FROM CUTTINGS. George Hen
ming, Saratoga, n. T., plants his tomato seeds
in January and February, and when the plants
are five or six inches high, cuts off the tops
Just above the seed-leayes, land sets them out in
a properly prepared bed, where they take
root and grow; in April they are transsplanted
to cold frames, and finally set out in ths open
ground. Mr. Henuing claims that by this
treatment the plants have better roots than
when allowed to retain their original ones, and
that they bear earlier and are more productive.

TIE COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS, in Virginia,
these published in villages in the different
Counties of the State-are deserving of word
OF commendation-the more especially as we
observe rather sneering remark made about
them in journal north Of the Potomac. Our
exchange list contains a number of them-and
we have to examine them carefully every day.
In general they arc fully equal in all respects
IN their contents, conduct, information, ETC.,
to he same description of papers IN New York,
PENNSYLVANIA. and the Northern States, where
the population is much greater than with US,
az! here, of course, a more liberal ''patron-
age can be extended to enable the proprietors
to make greater show. We take pleasure in
saying that we know Of none of our Virginia
country papers which are not worthy Of the sup
port of the people in whose midst they are es-
tablished. When We say equal to the Northern
country papers, we wish to add that they are
much superior-in correct sentiments, and IN
the promulgaticn of sound doctrines in pub
lie affairs. They furnish most useful arti-
c!os on Agriculture and on Domestic econ
ony-they give all the current ncws-they
supply reading for the young and old-they
support the cause Of education-and advocate
all measures designed for public good, and pub
lie Improvement Therefore, we repeat, they
arc worthy Of praise and of a liberal support
The country press of Virginia will compare
favorab}y with that of any State in the United
States, in all the proper requisites of ne wspa-

GINA papers We give with great pleasure
wish we could aid in procuring for them better
remuneration than they now enjoy for their ex-

TWO MEN KILLED!

AURORA, September pa gentle
man hast Just arrived at Aurora from

Sheriff Hightower and party, from
Mono county, yesterday forenoon, at
10 o'clock, came up with five convicts
at the head of Long Valley. The
SherItf's party opened fire on the con-
victs, who returned the fire with
deadly effect.
r. ]. Morrison, Wells, Fargo & Co.'S
agent at Benton, who Vas one of the
Sheriff's party, and an Indian, were
killed, and another man shot through
the hand.
The Sheriff's party lost Z horses-4
killed and three captured by the con-
victs. Only three convicts were seen
to leave the battle ground. 1t is
thought the other two were killed,
although their bodies could not be
found.
The Sherif's party Immediately
started in pursuit of the three who
escaped, tive of whom are on horse
back, the ether on DOT.
The pony rider, who was supposed
