We extract from the report of Laud Commissioner
Wilson the following passages of general Interest:
The Public Land KyMlem.
The operations of the public land system during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1H69, were prosecuted
In all the public land States and Territories except
Wyoming and Alaska. Murreys havo been completed
In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Wisconsin, and Iowa. The entire
area of the public domain Is 1,8.14 n,400 a'-res, of
which, during the past jear, M,8i!2,s;i acres were
surveyed, Involving 40.M9 lineal miles of survey.
The entire area surveyed Is Bos,fl7,7o2 acres, leaving
usnrvtyed l,31i6,4:io,-iH acres. Interesting aoootints
of boundary surveys are given, with chorographlcal
and topvgiaphlcal lnfomiuiion of great value.
I.andn IHio-d of During the Year.
The disposed of pulilic lauds In euventy-three local
In ixl unices during the year embraced 7,oTi!l,lfl17
acres,' being nearly a million acres morn than last
year. The cash receipts were 4,47JJ,HS01W, an lu-
reuse of t'i,M0,16d 3s over last year.
Pri'-i-mplloii Itlxhts.
The policy of forbidding settlement on the public
lal. !s without, purchase, enacted by the law of isul,
wbh overpowered by the press of immigration. Con
gress first beiilcd a multitude of breaches of tills law
by special reiroiictive statutes, und llually, by net. of
September 4, IH41, established the pre-emption privi
leges as a permanent element of our system.
The homestead policy is the worthy supplement of
the pre-emption. A great, increase of appropriation
of public lands by uciu.nl settlers under these two
classes of laws is shown. It is estimated that by
direct and indirect operations of the land system
(luring the last llscal y ear, 0i,ooo small limns were
added to the freeholds of our republic, about double
the entire number of laud owners in Knglund, as re
ported In the decennial census of lsci.
Increnno of Iiuuileiriillon.
The liberality ofonr naturalization laws has frawn
an Immense immigration from Kurope. About
10,000,(Hi(l of our population are due to this cause.
These have largely availed themselves of the kindly
provisions of our land laws, absorbing an Immense
amount of pub It; land. It is estimated that foreign
immigrants have brought to this country, since I7i(,

made to ortlccrs and soldiers of the dlirerent wars of
the republic, thus testifying the nation's gratitude to
Us deienders. Our immense grants In aid of popular
education are vindicated as a social neces
sity, the only means of securing such a dif
fusion of Intelligence as will serve as a basis of free
institutions.
Sperlnl I.nnd 43rniitN.
Large grants have been made for the support of
universities and colleges. A special donation has
also been made to the States of BO.ouo acres for each
Senator and Representative they were entitled to
under the apportionment of lsoo. The aggregate
amount of laud llnully accruing nnder all these
frants will be not lebg than 79,K26,so2 acres. The
disposition of these grants by several of the States Is
given In the report.
Uranta for Itullwnyn mid Internal Improve
ment. The policy of grants for internal Improvements,
and especially for railways, Is considered at length,
and a sketch of the railway system of the Vuited
Mates is given at large, lis history naturally di
vides itself Into three eras:
Ylrst. Its primary stage, on the Atlantic slope, In
which It had to await the slow accumulations of the
necessary capital for its construction.
Second. Its secondary stage, In the Mississippi
Valley, in which, by the donullon of public lands
thcrwise unsalable, It created its owu endowment
by the values it imparted to the soil.
Third. Its definitive stage west of the Mississippi,
In which it appeurs as a forerunner of civilization,
gathering strength to project itself across great wil
derness tracts to reach our Pacltl e states. At the
close of the present year there will bo in operation
47,(iou miles of road. The tonnage of lscs is esti
mated at over 100,000,000, representing a cash value
of 112,000,000,000. At the close of this century wo
-will have nut less than 100,000 miles la operation, with
a tonnage beyond present estimate. The enormous
expansion of railways was one of our national neces
sities. The liberal policy of lauded and loan subven
tions by the Government was the groundwork of
this prosperous movement, but the Commissioner
thinks that the time for such extraordinary assist
ance has passed, and recommends its withdrawal.
The Pacific Itullrond and the Future ef the
Country.
The report concludes with a review of the com
mercial position of the United States, tracing a Hue
of commerce around the earth between the 401I1 and
tilth parallel, to which all the local currents of trado
will converge. The completion of our Pacific Itail
road, with the increasing advantage of railway com
munication over every other, is making this country
the highway of the world's commerce. Durability
to compass this splendid result springs from ou.
libel ul-handed policy. Its Influence la specially

to a broader sweep of original production, and hence
our accumulation of wealth will be more rapid than
that of any past age.
THE EASTERN QUESTION.
Tor key and Eypt lotrlue of Ruaaia and
France Prebable Complication.
A correspondent of the New York Times, writing
from Athens, gives the following details of affairs In
the East:
The Eastern question Is rapidly approaching a new
phase of development and a possible solution, on the
condition that Napoleon III remains chief of the
French nation. There remains no doubt In my mind,
from evidence gathered from a large correspondence
on and an intimate acquaintance with the political
condition of the Greek and the Greco-Slavonic pro
Traces of the Ottoman Empire, that the Russian
Government is making preparations for a general
and surilcleutly desperate insurrection of the Chris
tian population of that empire, and that the Egyptian
Juestlon has been raised by the same Influences to
ucrease the (Sultan's embarrassment, and at the
same time to give the French Government a com
mon Interest in the hoped-for solution.

Hervla and Woldo-Wallachla, as well as Bulgaria,
Monteneirro. and liosnia, are well known to be
in readiness, or getting to be so, to unite in auy
movement, and the probable appointment of
General Ignatieir, late Minister to Constantinople,
as Councillor of the Empire, Is, in all probability, the
igual for the commencement of operations, as It Is
well known that he Is the advocate of the most
energetic movements towards Stamboul, not directly,

energy, the critical moment for the ottomau Empire

as it could weaken Turkey and Greece simulta
neously, was treacherously suppressed f the Kus
' aian pressure at Athens, as soon as it became evident
that it must lead to complic allocs, and a general
movement, In which the Initiative would belong to
Athens a on the progressive and constitutional party in
z.r.-e. and In which the republican element in Italy
and elsewhere would take part. This has always
keen the Russian policy towards Greece, to use her
against Turkey, and at the sume time exhaust her
by Internal troubles and external embarrassments.
The constitutional statesmen of Greece, aware of
this policy, have long since been earnestly opposing
Hussian Influence lu Greece, but the King being lu
the hands 01 tne czar, mej cuu accompiuiu nuiuiug
without revolution, which no one desires at present.
The Cretans at the End of the Innnrrerllea.
Having been Intimately connected with all th it
related to tho Cretan Insurrection, I am perfectly
competent Ui declare that at the time of the actual
end of the Cretan Insurrection the Cretans were, re
latively to the forces which could he brought against
them, In a better condition to resist than they had
been at any previous time, and that tlie new and
complete reorganization of tho insurrection on a
better basis than It had ever before had, was being
prepared, and only demanded a sum of a'sikk) to
complete and carry through tho winter, when the
Insurrection, nearly ready in other pirM of the
Turkish empire, would have broken out notably
that of the Ix banon, whoso chief, Joseph Karani,
was waiting at Athens the signal to move.
The then governing Minislrv in Greece (appointed
virtually by Russia, whose control over the King
was absolute), which bad been for a year manieii
vrlng to compel the Insurrection to break Itself down,
bnt dared to take 110 direct steps to that end from
fear of a ponnlar rising, finally planned and sent the
famous I'ttroponeakl epedltiou for the express
purpose of breaking the insurrection down,
and, at the same time, by apparently
favoring It, to save themselves from popular Indig
nation. The plot was so transparent that though It
succeeded In crushing Crete, the Ministry fell with,
it, and the King was only saved by tlio dread of the
consequences of a revolution In the critical state in
which Greece then was.
I'nitlnnd, Aumrln, unit Circece.
Kussla hopes to paralyze Austria, which Is the
party principally Interested, by J'riiHslau hostility
und Nclavic Insurrection, and In the present Inert
disposition of England to carry the question through
without dangerous struggle, or a delay which would
enable tho Republicans of Europe t enter Into the
contest, Tlie only combiimtioii wlilch can stop the
success of the plan is an union of ICnglund, Austria
and Greece In support, of Turkey, with neutrality of
Prussia und Italy. This combination Kussla hope
to prevent by using the influence of the I.nited
States to paruly.e England uad prevent her from
making any direct resistance to the Intrigues or
tlio C.ar, and to menace retaliation for the of
fences committed ugaiust us during I lie great In
surrection. The Influence of America.
As a question when, for the first time, the influence
of Ihe United states enters into European combi
nation, it behooves us to consider well the effect of
our exercise of It, and casting uside all petty hostili
ties and momentary Irritation, t throw the weight
of onr moral influence in favor of p.-ogress and civili
zation. It Is, perhaps, the first time lu this century
that the English policy has been in perfect accord
with that of Christianity and human liberty, and no
nobler satisfaction for all the injuries we have re-
eiveti tti ncr mums count oe taken man to assist her
to do the working out of our owu principles. No
unman interest requires mat Jtussiu should make
new l'olauds on the Mediterranean ; that she should
extend the order of Warsaw to Athens and Siberia to
the Himalayas. Itiisalun predominance in the Levant
Is the death of all the rising republicanism of Eastern
Europe, und equally of American influence there.
As an earnest watcher, if not active participant,
during theCrettiu Insurrection; us intimately con
versant with the inner history of the utl'.ur' from
beginning to tlie end, I can positively assert that
there was no political Influence which the Russian
ngeuts were so hostile to 11s that of America, and
though they employed it to the furtherance of their
nefarious plans, and do still employ it, through the
iiiigcnuy-circuiaicu statement mar, itussia and the
1'nlted States are in accord on the Eastern question,
they were Invuriably opposed to any step which
would increase our lmld oil tlie popular feeling.
The ItiiMslan Church.
Mv known sympathies and trials on behalf of the
Christian subjects of Turkey leave me In no doubtful
color, so far as that empire is concerned. I clung to
Cretan liberty while It had a shadow of hone, but,
now that that struggle is over, anil the soil covers
our common dead, I ain equally earnest In saying
that the Interests of Christianity and humanity de
mand tne support or Turkey as against Russia, ami
the gradual development or the civilization of the
East through Greek as opposed to Musco
vite ecclesiastical Influences. We all know
what Russian political progress means, bnt
we do not all know that tho itusslan
'hurch is being built up into a Papacy more formi
dably organized and more strongly iron-clad than
that of Koine can ever have been ; an intolerable
und despotic appliance of the Stale to the indlvidu-

which it has always been distinguished from that of

The present Kingdom of Greece is the only possi
ble nucleus of political development for tho East,
and, with all lu faults and crudities of organization,
has done ana is doing mncu to prepare tne race in
other provinces for political freedom. I have lived
with the Greeks four years, in relations the most in
timate, and in circumstances tne most trying to na
tional character, and, though no Phllhollene on my
arrival in the country, 1 can declare that I have never
lived with any people more worthy, In spite of their
faults, the moral support of the civilized world,

1'nder the title of "lAEuvre do M. Blsmark."
lKCH-IHGG, a work Is about to Issue from the Paris
press which may be found to contribute useful
materials to future histories of that eventful period.
Its author, M. Villebort, was in Germany durimr the
campaign of 1SC6, was present at most of its stirring
scenes, and seems 10 nave neen on very irienniy and
almost Intimate terms with Count Blsinark, of whom
he saw a good deal.
We must be prepared, therefore, for sotno leaning
towards the hero of the lime; but so far as lean
Judge from a hasty perusal of that portion of the as
yet unpublished work which has reached my hauds,
the author dues not shrink frovi criticizing an well
as praising his friend aud host. The following pas
sage Is carious and interesting: "On the 7tli or
August 1 went to tuke leave of M. Illsmark, by
whom, at Berlin, before and' after the war, at
Horsitz and at Ntkolsburg, 1 had always been re
ceived with a kindness of which I retain the most
lively remembrance. Towards 10 at night I win lu
the Prune Minister's cabiuet, when the French
Ambassador, M. Ilenedettl, was announced. 'Go
and take a cup of tea lu the drawing room,' M.
llismurk said to me; 'I will be with you shortly.'
Two hours passed, midnight struck, then 1 lu the
morning. About twenty persons, the family and in
timate frlonds, awaited the master of the house.
"At lust he appeared, with a calm and smiling
countenance. We took tea aud smoked and drank
beer in tlie truo German fashion. Tlie conversation,
alternately grave and gay, tutuwd on Germany, ltly,
and France, humors or war with France then cir
culated In Berlin. At the moment of learotaklng,
'Monsieur le Mluistre,' I said, 'Will you allow me u
ask you a strangely indiscreet question, Is it pttace
or war that I carry back to Paris?' M. Ulsmark
answered promptly, 'A durable friendship with
France 1 1 llrmly hope that France and Prussia will
henceforward form the dualism of Intelligence aud
progress.'
"1 (aneied I detected a singular smile on the lips of
a man destined to occupy a distinguished place In
Prussian politics, the lTivy Councillor Baron von
KerdelL Next morning I called upon him and told
him how much that smile had puzzled me. 'Give
me your word of honor to keep what 1 am going to
tell joo a secret until you reach Paris; before a
fortnight we hall have war on the R Ine M Frave

we neither can nor will give her. Prussia wi I
never yield an Inch of German ground;
we could nut do It without rac
ing all Germany against ns, and, if It
etines to that, we would rather raise
her against Frame than against our
selves.' That step of the Tulleries Cabinet, so
profoundly Impolitic, and unskillful at snob a mo
ment, and which resulted In a check given to Fr.uu.li
diplomacy, was of wonderful servi to M. HMmark
in all his enterprises on Germany. It furnished htm
with an Irresistible argument to prove the necessity
of great armaments against France, at the same
time that his refusal to give np the least morsel of
German soil still further exalted tho prestige of
Prussia In the eyes of every German patriot."

with the invitation Issued by tlie committee (Messrs.
Post, Itrownn. Hhattuek, and Tilfany), a large por

men, assembled at 6 o'clock In the extensive hall of
the "Welsses Koss," which was tastefully decorated
for the occasion with the flags of Austria and Ame
rica, In tokeii of the growing cordiality of the two
nations. The busts of the Emperor and Empress,
together with a portrait of General Grim, occupied
a conspicuous position amid the ornamentation of
tlio extensive hull, while a band of mt.sie, gave
at appropriate Intervals the national airs of the two
countries. At the conclusion of tlie dinner Hon.
John .lay, the American Minister, gave the first toast,
"The President of the United States." A toast to the
Emperor or Austria followed, tlio company re
ceiving this toast as they had done that to the
President of the United Siates, standing and with
three cheers, mid the bund jilaved an Austrian
anthem. The minister, in Introducing the third
sentiment, alluded to the recent, names which it
enumerated, nnd among others, "Raymond, of the
American Press; Hawllns. Secretary of War; Senator
FeKsenden, and George Peabodv," and the company
rose and honored in silence. The toast was, "The
memory of the dead ol American history, to whom
wo owe the Freedom, the Unity, and Hie tone of
the Eeptibllc." The fourth toast, to "The Army and
Navy of the United Stales," was responded to
by General P. S. Post lu an Directive speech.

which was received with hearty cheers. The eighth,
"The American Clergy." was to have been responded

AQUATIC. "
International HcuUera' Match In KniOnnd.
From the London Times, fiov. 22.
On Friday afternoon a scullers' match for XfiO a
side was rowed on the Tyne between Walter Brown,
of Portland, Maine, champion sculler of the United
States, and William Sadler, of Putney, a younger
brother of Joseph Sadler, of Surbiton, with whom
the American was matched some weeks ago, but to
whom he paid forfeit. It was stipulated in the
agreement between the men that the race should be
rowed between the High Level and Scotswood Sus
pension bridges; but that, in order to avoid rough
water, It should be either up on the flood or down on
the ebb, whichever was the more propitious, as the
umpire might determine. On the morning of the
match day Mr. W. Johnson, of Newcastle, who
hud been apHlnted umpire, Inspected the river,
and as a strong wind was blowing from the
westward, decided that the race should be rowed
down rrom Scotswood to the High Level bridger,
the water being somewhat rough while the tide
was flowing, but by no means so much so as on the
previous day.
When above the Mansion Ilonse, or within one hun
dred aud and twenty yards or the Uigh-Ixjvcl Bridge.
Saddler stopped from exhaustion and nearly fell out
or the bout. Brown, who was utterly incapable of
an effort, and thoroughly rowed out, consequently
went away and passed the post an easy winner,
Sadler being incapable or conipleting the course anil
being lifted out of his boat. The time to the spot
where Sadler stopped was 21 minutes 2G seconds,and
Brown reached the bridge within another half
minute. On all sides nothing was heard but loud
expressions of admiration at the gallant manner In
which the London mau, after rowing a stern race,
and a losing one tor three miles, had endeavored to
turn the fortune of the day at the last moment, the
oldest habitues of the river dwelling upon the self
evident fact that both men were thoroughly ex
hausted, und that the American was fortunate in
just pulling through. At last, therefore, the merits
of the champion waterman of the United States have
been fully tested, aud that ho la not tlie great sculler
he was supposed to be has been abundantly demon
strated. GENERALITIES.

ders the message non-com initial In relation to

and chimerical for serious consideration.
Tlie Tritmne regards the message as one of
the wisest and most judicious ever transmitted
to Congress, and predicts its hearty approval by
the American people.
