Pwrmnsnvec, Jan. 12, 1858. Death of Count Peroffiky— His Landed Estate and its Im- sia in Central Asia—What the Czar Effected during the Late War—New Year's, Day—Will the Calendar be Changed ? By the death of Count Basil Peroffuky, which happened his health, Russ’a has lost one of her most able generals end mipisvere—a man through whose indefatigable exor- tions and invincible tenacity of purpose her dominion has been extended over a great part of Central Asia. The re gions acquired by him, it is true, though exceeding in size many European kingdoms, are mostly sterile and unculti vated, and inhabited by wild tribes who can only be curbea by military fear; but they ure important, not only for the commercial facilities they offer, but from their ly- ing on the high road between Russia and Iadia. The ac- quisitions made by Peroffsky have diminished the distance that separates the Ruasian and British empires in Asia by at least one-balf, and bave pointed out the way by which ‘an invasion of the latter from the former, #0 long derided as chimerical, may take place with comparative easo ant | eflect. A short sketch of the career of this remarkable man will probably not be without interest to the American pub lic, considering the bearing it has on the eveuts now trans. pirung in the East. Basil Peroffaky was born at Kharkoff, of a noble family | of Littie Russia. Like most young men of rank in this country, be entered the guards at au early age, and was appointed aid de-camp to Grand Duke Nicholas, with whom he thus became closely connected, and whose confideuce he ever after enjoyed, though the stern and unbending character of Percffsky too nearly resembled that of the foture autcerat for bim to be so much of a perscnal favor. ite as Lis fellow aids-de camp, Kavelin and Adlerberg. At the insurrection of the guards, which ushered in the reiga of Nicholas, Peroffsky distinguished himself by his cool- ness and iptrepity, and contributed not a little towarda en- suring the wavering fidelity of some of the regiments, and crushieg the resistance of the others. In 1828 he ected as cbief of the staf to Prince Menschikoff at the siege aud capture of Apaps, and afterwards accompanied | bim te Varna, where he took the command on Menschi- “ koff's bewg placed hors du combat, and directed the opera” + | tions against that place till he, too, was dangerously wound. ed. and obliged to quit the army. In 1833 he receivec the appcintment of Governor Gene- Tal of Orenburg, where he was Gestined to pass aimost the | woole remaincer of bis 1ife in the prosecution of plans which, atter surmounting unheard of difficulties, were Y crowned with success. At that time the pro- viove ot Orenburg, which 1s sbeut tredle the size of the State of New York, bu: has a population of only two mil Hous, was bounded on the south by the river Ural. The country beyond that river was inhabited oy the Kirghiz, # Lution of Tartar race, who are divided into three tribes— the Great, the Middle, atc the Little horde [he Great horce were vomivaily subject t. Russia, but their a legiance wae very wcuvtful while he other tribes maintained their independence and barassec the Rutsian terriwry by fre- quent incursions. Peroffsky's first task was to subdue these unruly barbartans He organized several expacitions against them, erected a line of forts in their couatry, and flo ly succeeded in re- ducing them to subjection. Ais next aim was the kisgdom cf Kb va, @ fertiie oasis in. the great steppe of Tonran, which commancs the route to the Mindookusn, and the Potseseicn of which is indispensable to oblam a firm footug i Centra! Asia For more thana century Kussia had meditated the conquest of this region. as carly as 1717 Peter the Great bad sent an expedition against it, which, however, ended in complete tauure. Ip fact, it Sppears as if nature had combined every obstacie to ren- cer the attempt nugatory. The road & Khiva lies for near a thousand m: ¢s through an immense desert of sand aud gravel, without vegetaion gad without water. The climate presents ail the extremes of burning heat in sum- mer and intense ce'c in winter, aad the changes ure so 6ud- cen that a few case suffice ts convert the temperature of Africa into that of Greenland. In June there is often snow, succeeded by a of 100 or 110 degrees; aud even at Kbiva, which hes as pear as can de in the latitude of New | York, there are not un‘requently night froste in the month of Avgast. Besides this, the steppe immediately north ef Khiva ie infesied by roving tribes of furcomans, subject the Khan of that country, cr to his neighbor, the Khan of Khokoud, who bave always een inveterately hostile | to Russia, avd never lose an opportunity of plundering the | Russian caravace on their way to Bukbara and Tashkend. | It was the-e forays, in consequence of which a number of A it % | refuned to set at liberty, that affurded a pretexs for Peroff. sky's expecition He chose the wiater season, ia which | the ground is covered with a thun coating of anow, as more | suitable for his troops than the summer, when the flerce | rays of the sun, reflestea from the ocean of saad, are ren- dered still more intolerable by the parce ig drought; aud in November, 1889, he set out from Oreuburg with a weil appointed army of 20,000 men, partiy Russians and partiy Kirghiz, attendea by 10,000 camels, He marched about 600 mies without meeting au enemy, but the iatense cold, | the tremendous snow storms that threatened to bury his army iu the desert, and privations of every kiad, opposed an effectual barrier to wis furtner progeess, Neariy all | bis camels and macy of his soldiers perished, and he was fos!ly under the necessity of abandoning the uodertakiog and making the best of his way back to Orenburg, where | | the remoaut of bis army arrived in a deplorabie condi- | tion | Less determined characters than Peroffaky and his mas- | ter would have been ciscouraged by such # mishap, it only tousea them to fresh exeruons, Nature herself seemec w forbic the execution of their echomes It was resolved to overcome nature.

You say, ‘“we- do object to his (Mr. Senator Nozon,) attempting to pase oP thie new ab- surcity as a possible thing, even if it were desirable.”’ A relief act; sach as the Senator proposes, is no new absurdity. Am act precisely similar was passed just twenty-one years ago, and disgraced the statu:e book, embarrassed real property transactions, gave rise to rexa- tious i:tigation, and drove nearly all of tho capital out of the State forsgear. The Legisiature was overwhelmed with petitions for its repeal, and -it was aocordingly re- pealedo year after its passage. Again ‘you say, “Mr. Noxon’s plan can have no effect upon contracts already entered into, or such a may be entered into before his proposed law goes into elfeet,"” ke. ‘The bili is entireiy retrospective, providing that redemp- tian may -be mado upon a sale under a mortgage “‘hereto- fore executed,”’ Js0., kc. ‘The conatitutionality of the law of 1837 was generally ac- quiesced im by the courts, for thoreason thatthe law did | not impair the obligation of the contract, butonly the | remedy for its eaforeement. | 1 see also that Senawr Noxon proposes removing the | | | few borriers thet surround that swindling daw entitled “The Bomesiesa Exemption Act,” acd to exempt tho homestead-of a householder to the-extent of $1,000 from | sale undor execution in all cares. | Such laws as those proposed by the Hoa. “senator doubt- lees grow out of the distress attexding the pauic ip fnan- cial matters; but their general policy is oad aad destruc tive to the best interests of sockty.
