ggrExtract of a letter from a respec

States to a friend in Washington, dated
(St. PxrEitsnuRG, Russia, Sept 18,1854.
J)AR F. : The war is scarcely begun.
There is no chance for any Power, be it
ever bo great, to conquer Russia. The
.Emperor is only preparing for war. Nest
yr he will have iu the field, re ady for
mc-tire battle, one and a half millions of
ioldieri?, woll drilled. The people are all
for the war, and he has no trouble in gtt
ting soldiers, for it is with them a religi
ous war. They want the christian faith
to be sanctioned over the world. They
are the most devout people on earth, and
the last crucifix will go for the war be
fore they give up.'

Eileen. Years a Captive nmocg-Inoians.
The Macoupin (III.) Statesman give?:an.
account of a man uainvd Jos. Barney, who
made hia escape in May last from the Flat
Head Indian.", in Oregon, after being in
captivity for cightccnyears. A man named
John Robertson was taken captive at the
tame time. The account thus narraiea what
occurred after they were taken to the camp
of the Indians :
"They were unbound and confined in n
hut, where they were fed, but not allowed
to escape. The chief offered them hi
two daughters if they would marry and
remain with the tribe. Finding escape
utterly impossible for the time being, the
terms were accepted, and the marriage
took place. The fruits of this marriage
were two children, both of which archill
living, a daughter, Ifi, and a son, 14, both
of which he left with the tribe. Two
years ago Robertson attempted to escape,
but was retaken, scalped and burned a
Jive, leaving three children with the tribe.
Seven years ago Barney attempted to es
cape, but was recaptured and would have
been put to death but for the intcrpoMlion
of his wife, who was the daughter of the
chief.'
In May last, during the absence of the
chief, Barney made all the re.-t ol the In
dians drunk, and then escaped, and al
though pursued for several days, they
failed to overtake him. lie is G3 years
of age, origiually from France, but form
erly lived in Otsego county, NewYork.
Hard Times.
This is now the universal complaint,
and not without cauc. Ihe times are
undoubtedly out of joint. The condition
of our tiionetaiy afiairs is not what we, for
four or five years past, have been accu:"
tomed to have it. One business firm af
ter another is compelled to suspend pay
ment, and thus, it is to be feared, we are
rapidly hastt-ning on to a crisis.
To many this tatc of things has not
come unexpectedly, while there are oth
ers who, forgetful of the experience of tin
past, seem to be taken by .surprie, and
altogether unable to comprehend the
caue of it. That cause we have no dif
ficulty in tracing. It is to be found in
the operation of the Sub-Treasury and the
present Free Trade policy of our Govern
ment, the legitimate fruits of which were
predicted and are now being fully rea
lized. As is forcibly stated by one of our co-
temporaries. less than ten years ago, un
der the taiiffof 1S45, we were supplying
ourselves with home-made iron, cloth ano
-uar. Twenty-two millions of gold from
.abroad were intused into the circulation.
Furnaces and mills were building all o
ver the country, and new coal mines were
luiuji opened with unexampled activity.
Stn'p-builders, carpenters, masons,
chiui-ts, mechanics of all hinds, were ac-, j,avc j,, u everal schools in Stroud

country in two years', raising u irom a j
condition of uuiversal bankruptcy in 1S40,
to one of universal prosperity in 1640.
Messrs. Polk & Dallas catntf into pow-
er under this flourishing stale of circum
stances; then followed Walker's British
Free Trade Tariff; and what has been the
result? We hav-e, as is truly remarked
by the Trenton Gazette, been staggering
under the blasting influence of that enor
mous folly from that day until now. Cal-
ifornia alone has saved us from a general
j ruin years ago; but the full consequences j
of the tariff of 1S4G we are only begin- tl)afc ijave German tonjres, do like De
ning to realize. Every dollar that comes ! ni0?tjjecs practice much, dout
from California is appropriated before it
reaches our hhores, where it is landed
merely to be re-shipped to Europe. Tht
whole country is overwhelmed with in
debtedness. This export of gold must be
stopped. If not, the txhaustiou will re
sult iu a paralysis greater than we suf
fered under in 1840. Already the Bank
have interposed to stop the drain. But,
though they have succeeded in a very
j-.li-iht degree in checking its cause, the
foreign imports, yet thu drain goes ou,
and the attempt to check it has couvul.-ed
the monetary system of the country. Ev-
erybody is suffering but the monc-lcnd-er.
The poor are becoming poorer, and
the rich richer. The factory, the furnace,
rthe coal mine, the ship, even the day-la
borer, all suffer iu common. Real estates
-inks in value, rents depreciate, stock.
are almost annihilated. Ships have fal
leu one-third iu price, houses aud stores
are shut up, carpt-uters aud all other me
chanics are thrown out of cmplo3'ment,
merchants are failing, and the Banks in
many places are burstiug up.
Such are the fruits of Loco Foco rule,
and such the results of the British Free
Trade policy. Was it not high time for
Americans to arouse to a full sense of the
iniquities, of Loco Focoism, and to set a
bout to place men iu power, as the Whigs
ever sought to do, who will establish an
American policy, one that will encourage,
fo.-ter and protect American interests, in
stead of British capitalists. Let us hope
the American organization will be true to
its name and its mission.

Still another robbery of the mails has

Mr. Editor -Bear- -Sir-. You no
doubt haxe been- anxiororto bjeac. from me
and hoY I .am getting along, and what I
am doing. I purpose at present to
give sonic of my cxperiece as Superin
tendent; I do not intend to say much
as regards the condition of the schools
as many have ju-t commenced and
the Teachers have had but little time to
make improvement, so far as I have visit
ed I have met with some schools that ure
iu a prosperous condition; the Teachers
arc working hard and mu-t eventually
make their work appear well. I found
one school in Toby hauua Township, which
was tauht by a female ; she had her pu
pils remarkably well trained. I was re
ceived politely by the Teacher and invited
to examine the t-ohool, I accordingly done
so and am happy to say that 1 was agreea
bly surprised to hear the girls recite in
Geography and the boys in arithmetic
one of the little girls answered questions
that many teachers no nothing about the
school was conducted religiously; prayer
every morning so I was told by the citi
zens. 1 addressed the school briefly, &e.
and then made my course through the
foref.t where I found anothorlady teach
ing where there had been no school for a
number of years. I can only say the
scholars are jut begining to learn the
alphabet, others trying to spell and read,
in fact, all the schools in this (Tobyhan
na District) were well taught.
In Ilamiltou township I found a num
ber of schools that were well drilled ; the
classes in Arithmetic, in one ol the schools,
were called up, some took their spates, one
Or two boys took chalk and walked up to
the black-board : the teacher then gave
questions, they all went to work manfully,
-pent some time iu working fractions, and
a variety of business questions. I ap
prove of this plan very much, aud will
try to instruct teachers as much as possi
ble, so that they may pursue the same
course. I would like to see all teacher.-,
adopt this mode. I went into one school,
the scholars had worked through the A
rithmetic. 1 ask them many questions
but they had not been properly trained
they could not tell how many thirds there
were in a whole apple ; knew nothing
about the fundamental rules of Aritmetic.
The Teacher had just commenced, he said
he would make some improvement untili
I come again.
The schools iu our Borough are pro -
gressing rapidly; and all, as far as I have
learned, are well satisfied. The Teach
its are all in their places. The princi
pal, Mr. Vail, is in his right place among
the young man and ladies of the Borough,
m the upper department. J he classes in
Mental Aritmetic, are making rapid pro-
j gres.". I iiope in a lew years tnere win
be many of those who are now attending
this school with others who will go to
different parts of the county, and Disseni-
ntu-jenate the knowledge thev have cained.
(ore ti10T am,iv ,.,: and I would Jmt '
io tj105e j0ung men who are not able
to talk without using those large sounding
adjectives big oaths (I mean swearing)
t Ii a t; they better reform
t0 e W0TC particular
soon, as we intend
in future than we
have been in the past. 1 have noticed in
my examination-, that a number of youii'
men, read in such a drawiing manner,
that they can hardly be understood: I do
not mtan to igmatite them but mention
this so that they may learn their deficien
cies and improve, for it is an unpleasant
thing to erase part of the certificate J
sa II0VV ror permnnul certificates, you
-pend youftimc in idleness aud vice.
Remember that you are the guardians of
youth and on your industry arid instruc
tion hangs their future destiny. Can it
be prudent then, for a Teacher to go from
the Bar lioom to the school, with his
breath perfumed with rum, or brandy! No,
he had better go from the closet with hi
heart full of sympathy & affection, and hi
soul wilh veneration to God for his kind
ness in bestowing faculties on (uch un
worthy beings. We learn from other
counties that the Bible is read in school
cither by the schollars or Teacher. Read
the Bible! lay a good foundation! Newton
said after he had fathomed the depths of
secence he could fiud true happiness no
where only in reading the Bible! Jack
son, Washington and many others could
say the same! found your actions on
morality and religin which is the great
bulwark of all our happiness. This world
is but a preparatory school for a higher
and nobler hereafter; and blessed is that
man, who shall have made use of the
means which God has here put within
his reach, as to Graduate into that blissfull
school, where in company with glorified
spirts he may continue, throughout an
endless eternity, to feed his hungry soul
upon heavenly manna, and quench his
thirsty spirrit at the pure river of water o!
live clear as cryttle, proceeding out of the
throne of God, and of tho Lamb."

Destroying Ladies Dresses.
A man named, Theodore II. Grny wa.c
arrested in N. Y. City, on Thursday eve
ning of week before lat, and having on
his person an abundant supply of oil of vit
rol, which he confessed to have thrown
upon ladies' dresses. The rich dresses of
many ladies have been recently destroy
ed in thi manner, at the Opera and else
where. More than thirty persons have
entered complaints at the Police office o!
having suffeied damages by vitriol thrown
upon their cloaks aud dresseB. Rich gar
ments, amounting in their aggregate val
ue to several thousands of dollars, have
recently been destroyed in this way.
The prisoner admits haviug committed
the outrages and offers as an excuse that
he was laboring under a religious mania
and was prompted to do as he did by mo
tives that he could not account for. He
says he first commenced throwing vitriol
upon females of ill repute who were in
the habit of walking the Ftreets in the
night time, and there was a fascination
about it so great that he soon afterward
commenced thowing the fluid upon res
pectable females, especially theater-goers,
against whom he had a bitter dislike.
His operations have been managed quite
systematically, having had a pocket in
each side of his coat-skirts for the vitriol
thrower, which he carried with him.
On passing a lady in the street or at a
place of amusement, a charge from this

him. He is a printer by trade, and about
:52 year of age, and carries on business
at No. 104 Bcekman-st. He has recent
ly suffered from pecuniary lossses, and
states that this, probably, was one of the
caues that affected his rpason. Since
his incarceration, hundreds have called to
take a look at him, he being regarded a
one of the greatest curiosities in town.
His friends coutend strenuously that he
is insane.

The Bloomington (111.) News Letter
irives an account of the progress of a war
that has been going on in Polk Town
ship, Monroe county, between a party of
self-constituted "regulators"' and a gang
of notorious counterfeiters, robbers and
thieves, who are connected with a nest of
lewd women. The "regulators" have
lynched several af the outlaws, demolish
ed the mansion of Sallie Quick, and no
tified the villains to leave the county
withiti a given time. Geo. Washington
Fleetwood, Thomas Jefferson Fleetwood,
Andrew Jackson Fleetwood, Wiley De

verely whipped, but the latter, on account
of his old age and ignorance, "was let ofi

Kansas,
At the last dates from Kansas, it wa.-
stated that Gov. Reederhas decided upon
ordering the Territorial Election to take
place on tho ii5th of November. It
.-aid that all the Congressional candidates
who have been announced so fir, are of
the pro-Slavery stamp, with the exception
of Dr. 1. L. right, who is reported to he
uncommitted. Of course, all this goes to
prove that there is no danger of Kansas
becoming a slave State, and that all its set
tlers are opposed to Slavery.
Gov. Reeder is accused by the Agrari
an, a paper published at Independence, ol
taking particular care of No. 1. Here is
what the Agrarian says of the Governor :
"Madame Rumor is just now busy with
the name and conduct of this high func
tionary. Unless great injustice is done
him, he is displaying more solicitude for
the furtherance of his own interest than is
common even to these degenerate times
There is a most valuable body of
(imber-land, consisting of twenty-three
sections, belonging to the half-breeds of
the Kaw tribe, and lyiug on the north
bank of the Kansas River. For these
lands or at least for some of them, six
dollars per acre have been offered, and
in tho opinion of competent judges, they
are worth ten. Gov. Reeder has now in
his possession deeds' of conveyance for
thirteen of these sections, the considera
tion to be paid purporting to be two dollars
and fifty cents per acre. Thirteen section
of land containing eight thousand three
hundred and twenty acres, and cost at two
and a half dollars per acre, S'20,800. At
-ix dollars, they are worth 849,90 giving
a profit of 29,120 ; while at ten dollars
per aore, they, are worth 833,201), and
give a net profit of more, than sixty thqut,

A letter from o gentleman in Mississip
pi to the editor of the New York Times,
contains the following paragraph:
"A beautiful mulatto slave was hanged
in Eutaw, last Friday, for raurdcriug a
,,:, the circumstances are ns follows :
Her master was a young man and overseer;
he got the girl with child and then bought
her. When her child was three years old,
he married a young lady of small fortune
and bought a plantation for himself. The
lady soon ascertained that her husband
was the father of the little curly-head,
and at once became indignant towards it,
and at the slightest offence would cruelly
abue the child. The mother bore it with
patience for a while, but seeing her mis
tress got no better, she knocked her child's
brains out with an axe, and went to the
Gourt-house, told the circumstances, gave
herself up, and was committed toprison.'"
Win Grisby, a successful pedestrian,
announces that he will undertake, on the
Union Course, L. I., the extraordinary
feat of walking one mile, draw a sulky
containing a boy 16 years of age two
miles, go backwards one mile and pick
up stones fifty yard3 apart, and place
them one by one in a basket, all to be
done in one hour. Abet of $1000 has
been staked on tho result.

A free negro is not a citizen of the U

Lamar, who pleaded that a free negro
was not a citizen of the United States,
and hence could not maintain a suit bo
