of a sovereign animated by the most friendly sentiment toward the Ameri- can union
 This union is not simply in our eyes an element essential to the uni- Nersal political equilibrium; it consti- tutes, beside a nation to which our august master and all Russia have pledged the most friendly interest; for the two countries, placed as 1.-the ex- tremities of the two worlds, both in the ascending periods of their develop ment, appear called to natural com munity of interests and of sympathies, of which they have already given mu- tual proofs to each other.
 T do not wish here to approach any or the questions which divide the Unit ed States We are not called upon to express ourselves in this contest. The proceeding considerations have no oth- CT object than to attest the lively so- l1cltude of the emperor in the presence or the dangers which menace the American union, and the sincere wish es which his majesty entertafns for tho laboriously raised and which appear ed so rich in it's future.
 It is in this sense, sir, that desire you to express yourself, as we'll to the members of the general government as to the influential persons whom you may meet, giving them the assurance that in every event the American ma ton may count upon the most cordial sympa thy on the part of our august master during the important crisis which it is passing through at pres ent.''
 Secretary Stewards reply was brief and cordial He requested the ambas- sador to convey to Czar Alexander the presidents profound sense of the lib- eral. friendly and magnanimous senti- ments of his majesty on the subject of internal differences which for a time have seemed to threaten the American union.'

JEFF DAVIS BOTH DEAD AND ALIVE
Many Ruors Concerning the Leader of the South in the Great Conflict Were Flying About the Country Fifty Years Ago-Secessionists in the City.

Fifty years ago the past week there was general interest in the enlist ments for the new regiments from this state. Promotions were given to Ed ward Harland and William G. Ely and while the work of securing recruits was going on there were those at work who sided with the south and used their influence to get men to stay at home and not enter the fight. It was quickly circulated about the city when a SecessioniSt made himself known and it must have been an unpleasant situ- ation in which they found themselves. The removal of the sextons of the Yantic cemetery and the Old Burying ground was asked because of their open espousal of the rebel cause.
 It was during the week that the re- mains of general Nathaniel Lyon were inferred at Eastford and rumors were flying about of the death and then of the denial of the death of Jeff Davis.
 Recruits Go to Hartford.
 The following items were taken from the Bulletin of fifty years ago cor responding to the past week:

 Mrs. Margaret o,Neil had her son carried off in the Jackson Guards on Wednesday evening. She felt so bad about it that she sat on her doorstep all night yelling and screaming. She was complained of arrested and tried in the city court for breach of the peace. Judgment was suspended.
 Whether or not Jeff Davis has shuffled off the mortal-pegged out and gone under. is the prevailing question. We've had him dead. had him almost dead, and now alive and kicking, by spells, for the last three or four days.
