Russia andthe Russians. The Christian World, for September has a very instructive article on the great Northern Power of Europe and Asia. It is from the pen of the editor, Rev. Dr. -jfaird;' who traVelled much in Russia, and whose. statements may be regarded as re liable. We reprint the larger part of the article, for the instruction of our numer ous readers . No country in Europe is so convulsed at this moment as Russia. That vast Em pire, at least the European portion of it, is agitated in the most fearful manner. In - the - large' cities, especially in St. Peters burg and MOdeow, the two capitals of the country, besides occasional popular out breaks, therellave been many and destruc tive conflagrations, in which the poor as well as the Tit& have greatly suffered. The muss of time extensive acts of incen larism are4not well known, but it is be lieved that ttey expressed the dissatisfac tion of those' who demand more liberal pelitioal institutions—institutions which 'shall secure tni the middle claSses, if not to all elasse, of i gie -people some share in the government. „It is welrlinown that the student's of Universities of St. Petersburg is and - Moscow, and probably those of Kasan, Oharkoff, Kieff, Dorpat, and Helsingfors as well, are importunate for a Constitution. -Nor can we wonder at the fad; inasmuch as even'once, most despotic Austria - is mov- ing in the business of giving her subjects the boon of a Constiiutinnal Government; viltiletf 'Prussia has given !her people "one within theiastiftfteen years. It is not as tonishing,„ therefore, that, the intelligent clakes 'or 'Cassia,. which May fairly be represented by the Universities, are begin " td be clamorous for a 'blessing which - ,,,nearly every nation in Christendom now enjoys. - The present' Emperor, Alexander IL, now in his 45th year, is a most amiable and enliihtened prince, and possesses 'more tgiaracter than he has credit for, although lAas not that iron-will for - which his fa ther Mcbolas was distinguished.

In this spirit he has governed that vast empire for seven -.years.:And what years! The first two 'were devoted to the closing up of the dis astrous war in the Crimea, and repairing lossee‘andlurhiliation of Russia.- Next, the new.

And many complied 1 with the Imperial recommendation. We knew well a nobleman who liberated 7,000 serfs, selling them at a fair price us much land as they could cultivate. His revenue from them, whilst they were serfs, was about $20,000. After much deliberation in - the Imperial Council, and consultation with Governors of Provinces and leading nobles, who were requested to act in committees in relation to the matter, the present Emperor entered in 1857, upon the great but hazardous measure of the liberation of the serfs of the nbbles. Or course, it was from the nobles that -the chief opposition was to be expected. Some favored the scheme, espe cially in those Western provinces,,er "gov ernments" as they 'are called, in which .serfage,still existed;, but the great major ity of the.nobles bitterly opposed, as much as they dared. At fug, it was priesed_to acepmplish the measure in twelve years; bitit - was soon found necessaryto reduce the term to six, the last year ; offt which is 4. now passing away. During the first four years, the condition of the serfs was not essentially changed. - At the end of that period, they wore declared free , but they must remain two yearS more where must they were, and dur ing that period come to an agreement with their former masters with regard to the houses and lands ;which they occupied. It was provided by'ukase that the intervention of the Govermient should take :place, where needed, in the second of those two years, or the sixth of the term, to reconcile' the parties where an agreement -had not been reached. it is just here 01,4 the great est difficulty has- occurred. Some ,of,-the nobles are averse to selling their lauds to: the serfs; in may eases the serfs refuse to, give the' price demanded; 'and in many! cases also refuse to give anything at all, maintaining that the land is theirs by right of long occupancy and cultivation ! In same cases the communities " of the serfs—for the -serfs have extensive com munities, or organizations, that' have large municipal powers, such as Took Inc , after the roads and bridges, caring for their own poor and sick people, and many other objects, and have their saving banks and charitable institutions have, taken up the matter, and lay a claim .to the-land The whole subject is oomph.- cated enough. The • nobles have not the power to enforce their views and make the people- work for them, and on their: terms. When they attempt anything like this they are soon compelled to fly for safety to the great cities or , the- , military posts; and the serfs resort in such cases to their old prac tice of burning - the houses and other build ings of the proprietors: - Certainly Russia is passing through fearful process. Great wisdom and pru dence and patience• on the:part of =the Mm!.. peror and his Ministers are needed; - and; much time to bring, the country 'through it.: There are probably no-two.men in all :the world whose position-is more trying .than that of _Alexander II.; Emperor of.all:the Russias, and Abraham Lincoln,. President of the United States.' Their positions are even%very much ;alike; for although civil' warYhas not actually commenced in Russia, no one can assure,us that it may not on any . day burst forth. In both Cases slavery lies at the bottom of the. trouble ,• in Russia that of 23,000,000 or 26,000;000, less or more, of white people; in the United States' that of 4,000,000, or thereabouts, of black or colored people. RUSSIA AS A FIELD fjPOR, [Selected , No country in Europe has 'greater claims on the friends of Gospel than, Russia. Its very vastness is fitted to arrest our attention. ,Russia : in Europe is larger than all the rest of Europe. But the . Rus sian empire, comprising as it does so large a portion of Europe, the entire Northern end of .Asia, and the North-western part of North America, is quite one-seventh part of the habitable globe, for it contains all of eight millions of square miles. In size it is about,equal to the - British empire. Rus sia in Europe has more than 62,000,000 inhabitants ; while the entire empire has very nearly 70;000,000, not 79 ) ) 1 000 000 as some of our ne*spaPers have asserted. The position and in f luence of Russia make it one of the most important coun tries for Christian effort. The Russians are Asiatic in their origin, manners, in stincts. Their desire for conquest is very much in the direction of Asiatic countries, or Asiatic people, rather .than the countries of , WesterilEurope. %And if the Russians possessed as much knowledge, of _the true Gospel as the English, they Could and would do great things for - the salvation< of the entire Asiatic continent. But the greatest reason of all why we should desire the evangelization of Russia is to be found in its need of the Gospel. Morkban sixty million's of peoPletin Rus sia are Christians in contradistinction from the remaining millions of ,the ;population, WhiCh are Jewish, Mohammedan, Pagan. There are not more than . 2,500;000. of Protestants in' the entire Russian empire, while there are 7,500,000 of Roman Cath olics, and quite 50;000,000 of follo'ivers of the Greek Church; including the various branches of schismatics, or people hive; for one"cause, or another ; iegiated from that Church,. but, retain, -in _many casee, many' of its 'ceremonies' and Worst errors, The Protestant.,Cliiii i ches to be found minty, in Finland, the-Baltic proyinces, (Eitkonia, Livonia, and Cour land,) and in, the dispersed German colo nies in the Southern portions of Russia in Europe, Trans-Cautiagian provinces in Asia. And whilw it is true that a resus citation of evangelical ' `Protestantism is going forward:•aziong the Protestantsof Russia, it is to be: deplored that there is even yet comparatively - brit 'little spiritual life in their churches. BtiE,..the,religioui 'condition Of the inambers ,or followers of - the Greek and .Roman - - Catholic Churches 'is inaomparatively that 'of fthe Protestants. , • From -1818 ta, 825 , rin ithe.last years of the Emperor Alexanderl., much was done brthe , Russian Bible Society to:Trint and •ciroulate the sacred Soriptureer.itut the opposition of-the- hierarchy of the -Greek Church; whichilt . thd''Nationat Church Russia, thoughatif . others are toteiated, tri umphod, and tlle"t'ittcsiiiin'Bihi . e43oniety" 4 ' was suspended when; Niebnles;caPie to..tbe “..throne I .

It was high time. Only the New Testa ment, the Pentateuch, the book of Judges, and one or two'other porthms.,of the Old Testament were tranalated:An'd 'published by the Russian Bible Society just spoken of, and the translation of them is said by the Russians . not to be good. What the translation now making under Imperial auspices ,will prove to be we cannot pre dict. Our expectations are not high, for the Septuagint has as much influence in the Greek Church as' the Latin Vulgate haa in the Roman Catholic. The Gospels and Acts of the. Apostles have 'been printed, and 200,000 copies have been circulated! Let us praise God .for this. Even, a poor translation of the Bible-is better than none. While there is but little true ,apprehea l sion of the glorious Gospel of ,ouriLord the Greek Church, we have no doubt the Saviour has his "Bidden ones" in "tle bosom of that communion, ,who will be " His in =that: day when he Irakei up his jewels."

A. correspondent of the Valley Fanner truly remarks that there are few things more aggravating than to be in a hurry to go to • some place, and have great trouble to catch a horse. I have sometimes made the `assertion that a horse which I raise will never be hard to patch, unless some one else spoils him. The way I manage is to keep them gentle from colts, handling them as often as convenient. When young hors es are running to grass, give them salt oc =casionally, and let them fondle about you, making as little show as possible of trying to get hold of them. There is nothing .surer to spoil a horse forever than running 1113 if trying to hem him in, and yelling at him authoritatively, or scolding ; he can see, just as: well as you know, that he is slut of, your. reach. To put on the cap sheaf,,, whip him severely for causing trouh le„and, any, word for it, the next time you ,want to, patch him he "will not listed to the voice of your charming, charm you never so wisely." Horses learn a great deal bysigns. In beginning to teach them .to ..be caught, go toward them on the near side slowly and cautiously, making no demonstrations at all. If the animal be e r ,insto walk off, stop, and whistle, or oth erwise • manifest indifference, until he be comes quiet again, then approach as be " Tore. When you are so close as to be con fident he will not escape you, speak kindly, and hold up time hand, ready to touch him en - the witheri, and thence pass it along 'the neck until 'you can get hold of his `head, but do ifot'seize him with a grab, as this tends to excite fear afterward. By practicing this course, using the sign, namely, holding up the hand when you are a little farther, away each time, a horse may be taught to stop and be caught, even when in considerable glee, (playing,) simply by holding up"_ the hand and using some fa 7phrase; sucli as whoa, ioy, &c. By .way of,eaution, hdwever, watch his actions and intentions closely during his tutoring, and if at any time--or from any cause you see that he is going to run, do not by any means, say anything or hold up your hand, as the sign given and disobeyed a few times, will almost <inevitably prevent your mak ing Anything out of it in future. -/lIIIASON , Sr. HAMLIN: I S MELODEONS, at $l6O 1400 .$OO And $l5, received and for sate . , , , $OO, by JOHN 11..
