S “Trouble Aboat the New York WASHINGTON The Russian America Purchase Con- firmed by the Senate. THE TEXT OF THE TREATY. Mississippi's Last Resort if She Fails to 0 an Injunction in Court. Aprointments. ae Ree ae. n ‘Wasmrvoros, April 9, 1867. Gevernor Sharkey and the Mississippi In- Jauction—Che Alternative in Case the Bill is Not Eatertained—Another Show of Ke- uletance. Governor Sharkey does not feel much encouraged Dy the present prospects of his injunction Dill before the Supreme Court. He is convinced there is an \uten- ‘tion on the part of the Court to evade the responsibility @f dociding the case on its merits, and that, if possible, it will be deferred, even if entertained, uatil a deci- sien would avail nothing—until all the ‘‘miscbief’’ it is intended to arrest has been consummated in the com- plete overthrow of the Southern States and the “de- struction” therewith of republican government ia this country, as contemplated and ‘prescribed by the federal ‘constitution. But he declares, in the most emphatic man- mer, that the Court shal? decide the questions involved in ‘the bill in some form, if he lives, whether it be agreeable to the judges or otherwise; that he will persevere in his purpose to that end while he lives, and, if he should die before his task is finished, he will turn in his crave ‘to strengthen the hands of those who continue the struggle. Liberty and law, he says, must not be stricken ‘down in this country without some one to protest, or without an effort to preserve them. If he were not Known and had not been known, at home, here and -@verywhere, as an unconditional Union man, from the very outset of the troubles between the two sections of the country, he would not bave undertaken the cham- pionship of this measure of redress; but being such, and always having been such, there can be no objection to him personally in connection with the bill. ‘Now comes the final resort in case defeat is suffered in the present proceeding, or in case it shall be so impeded ‘a8 to render it useless because too late; and it must be acknowledged that the alternative is or will be suiffici- ‘ently startling and adequately potent to procure a de- cision on the all importaat questions raised by the bill mow presented. It is nothing less than the indictment, ‘and consequent arrest, or attempted arrest, of General Ord, the commandant of the district embracing Missis- sippi, for treason against the State. Such a proceeding, it te thought, will result in compelling a final determina- tion of the issues between the parties; and it certainly ‘would appear so, for in such an event there must be Judicial interference and adjustment, or the exercise of ‘military despotism, in fact and in deed—the very charge ‘that is made against the act it is sought to set aside, Miltary despotiem is not a necessity, except in case of resistance, but when resistance comes, such a despotism ‘will be found existing, perfect in its powers. Governor Sharkey regrets the supineness exhibited ‘Dy many of the Southern States and leaders, asserting “shat in cage such woakness becomes general the South is Tost, and her citizens must forever surrrender their man- hood and self respect. If there is aught of influence in hhim to prevent it, Mississippi shall not thus fold her ‘arms and submit to be manacled and led captive into the outer darkness of such a political Egypt. As to the merits of the question sought to be submit- ted to the Court Governor Sharkey entertains no doubt. ‘The constitation, he declares, has left nothing for con- Jeoture or mistake on the point involved. There can be but one result when entertained by the Court. If he ean get ahearing, if the Court will but consent to ox- ‘ercive jarisdiction, he has no fears, no misgiving. The ‘truth is immutable, and the provisions of the constitu- tion are unmistakable. Hence there is no room for @oubdt, having all confidence in the court, when once Defore it, Ik ia proper to add, as was stated in this correspond_ ‘ence of Saturday last, that Governor Sharkey specitically denies that the President had anything whatever to do ‘with the inception, progress or consummation of the bill. ‘He says that he incidentally spoke ef the late recon- struction measures to the President when calling upon him, and that he at the same time told Mr, Johnson that he should “sue” him. Nothing further was interchanged on the subject, The idea that the President is concerned 4m the matter had its source in the fact that Governor Bbarkey has been #0 long here in advance of his appli- cation. But that is explained when it is stated that the Dill was in readiness when the court adjourned for its recess, and that the application was deferred until after the adjournment of Congress for the greater safety fagainst interference by that body. The Governor re- marke—‘I did not intend to let Congress get a hit at me.”” The Russo-American Treaty Ratified by the Senate. ‘The Seward-Stoeck! Russian American treaty has passed through the terrible ordeal of Senatorial scrutiny ‘with safety, and its diplomatic parents may congratulate ‘themselves on the result, After over a week’s invosti- gation, subjecting it to the most jealous criticism, the treaty was finally confirmed at an executive session of ‘the Senate this afternoon. The ablest men in that body, {mclading Reverdy Johneon, favored it, and Senator Samner, as I telegraphed you yesterday, spoke over ‘three hours to show the advantages to be gained by its Fatification. It was passed by « handsome majority. ‘The following is a copy in full of this important treaty, ‘except so far as the amount of money to be paid by the ‘United states, and the exact time within which the last touch of ratification is to be given:— ‘The States of America, and his Majesty the United Bmperor of all the Russias, being desirous of strength. ath. quing, the good understandi bich existe ‘Between have for that p faved as thelr = the it of the United States, Seward, of State, and hie Majest; the Russian Mr. Biward de : ff i : i ne He Jongitad the jd point of intersection one hundred and forty-firet J as the Frozen Ocean. of demarcation laid boy in ‘ew YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, APRL 10, 1867.—TRIPLE SHEET. | a meridian «of one hun gred apd seventy-t” q west longitude, Thence, from the SOTO scm of that meridian in 8 Geer ween Re he Pac manddorsk! ©°% sigs or group in the North Pacific Ocean, to the mendis’ ,"of one hundred ninety-three de- for the’ parpose of formally delivertng “os lor ts iv a ae “on behalf of the sins sball appoint, with convenient des} Without waiting for sych formal delivery.

AxticLe 6.—In consideration of the cession aforesaid, the United states agree to pay, at the Treasury in Wash- ington, within months after the exchange of the Tatifications of this convention, to the diplomatic repre- sentative, or other agent of his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, duly authorized to receive the same, ——— million dollars in gold. The cession of territory and dominion herein male t hereby declared to be free and unencumbered by any reservations, privileges, franchises, grants or possessions, by any associated com- panies, whether corporate or incérporate, Russian or any other, or by any parties except merely private individual property holders; and the cession hereby made conveys all the rights, franchises and privileges, now belonging to Russia in the said territory or dominion and appur- tenances thereto. ArTicLe 7.—Wher this convention shall have been duly ratified by the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate on the ‘one part, and on the other by his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, the ratifications shali be exchanged at Washington within from the date hereof, or sooner if ible, In faith whereof the respective plenipotentiaries have signed this convention, and thereto affixed the seals of their arms. Done at Washington, the day of , in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and aixty-seven. The vote on the ratification of the treaty was thirty- one yeas and two nays, Senators Ferry and Fessenden being the glorious minority. Among those who spoke most warmly in favor of the treaty, besides Mr. Sum- ner, were Senators Conness, Stewart, Dixon, Doolittle and Reverdy Jobnson. Some people ask what will Eng- land do about this treaty? If people who ought to know are to be believed England will do exactly nothing. John Bull will put his bauds in bis breeches pockets, shrug up his shoulders and assume an attitude of supreme indifference. Que of the attachés of the British Legation, on being asked the other day about the matter, smiled carelessly and said, “Aw, yas; the Russian treaty. Aw, we don’t care about that, you know; it’s no affair of oura, you know.” “But,” sug- gested the pumper, “the Russian Possessions will be of great advantage tothe United states.” “Aw, yes, yes; no doubt—very goof for your people who want offices up there, you know; make places for your politicians; ‘Dut it is of no consequence, you know—its of no conse- quence to us,” with an immense emphasis on the pro- noun, The expression of this diplomatic Toots, no doubt, reflects John Bull’s sentiments on the subject. The Probable War in Europe. ‘As regards the rumors of probable war between France and Prussia, inquiry here seems to lead to the conclu- sion that they ere not well founded. Baron Von Gerolt, ‘the Prussian Minister, 1s at present in New York; but it is understood’ he has received no advices from his royal master indicating a serious complication with Napoleon. There is an impression here, however, that the day is not far distant when the jealous spirit that animates those two powerful military rivals will develop itself in a grand clash of arms, The Geverument’s Interposition in Behalf of Maximilian. The publication in to-day’s Herato of the substance of the correspondence respecting the treatment of Mexi- can prisoners captured by the liberal party has set red tape agbast. There is an immensé amount of nonsen- sical mystery thrown about all such matters, and the idea that such mystery can be penetrated by newspaper mén has thrown the State Department into a profound fit of diplomatic catalepsy. No later than three or four o'clock this afternoon Secretary Seward and Count Wydenbruck, the Austrian Ambassador, bad an inter- view, and decided that it would not be the correct thing to allow the vulgar public to know just yet that Maximilian and his supporters were not to be shot at ‘Two hours later the Hrxarp arrived, containing @ cor- rect sketch of the contents of all the despatches on the subject, which caused the distinguished Premier and the benevolent Count to wonder greatly. So much for diplomacy. Maximil Offer to Surrender Rejected. A prominent foreign diplomat in this city is in por- session of information from Mexico this evening to the effect that the Emperor Maximilian had made an offer to Escobedo to treat for a conditional surrender, but that the overtures were rejected by General Escobedo, who insisted upon an unconditional surrender, The term @‘unconditional surrender,” in Mexico, it seems, docs not pear the same signification that it does in this country, and it is aaid that upon the acceptation of those terms the yielding force piaces itaelf wholly at the mercy of its captora. Information obtained from private and thoroughly reliable sources show that the object of Maximiiian in remaining in Mexico was simply to secure for his adherents such terms in the dissolution of the empire as would permit them to live in tranquil- lity henceforth, or, failing in that, to share their fate, The Emperor could not be prevailed upon to abandon these men who stood by him throughout his brief and turbulent reign. The opinion has been frequently expressed here by gentlemen whose experience in matters of diplomacy warrant them in giving it, that since Maximilian and his little army have scarcely a hope of escaping capture by the liberals, the United States government should use its influence with the Juarez government to receive any overtures of Max. towards # surrender, and if he agrees to leave the country, on condition that his followers are disbanded on reasonable terms, to urge President Juarez, to accept them, and thus set Mexico at rest. Pardon of Governor Vance, of North Carolina. ‘The President this morning issued bis warrant of pardon to Z. B. Vance, late Governor of North Carolina. The pardon was issued apon the recommendations of Senators Henderson, Davis, Saulsbury, Patterson, Fowler, Johnson, Wilson, Ferry, Ross, Yates, Ramsey, Sherman, Cragin and Norton; Representatives Phelps, @an Auken, Marshall, McCullough, Archer, Niblack, Wood, Kerr, Brooks, Tromp, Holman, Chanler, Munger, Selye, Ste- vens, Noell, Deunison, Getz, Nicholson, Eldridge, Burr, Glossbrenner, Morrissey, Ross, Robinson, Clarke and Ingersoll; Governors Bramletie, Sharkey and Parsons; Mayor Hoffman, H. Webster, A. H. Garland, Horace Greeley and Rev. Paul Bagley. Nominations by the Presideut. The President to.day nominated to the Senate J. P. Stockton, of New Jersey, to be Minister to Austria, and Horace Capron, of lilinoig, to be Commissioner of Agri- culture, Appointment Confirmed. The Senate to-day confirmed the nomination of Gen. Sol. Meredith as Surveyor General of Montans and Idaho by @ large vote. Squabbling Over the New York Appoint- mente. The New York appointments occasion more trouble than the good people of your city suppose, It appears there is a snarl about the division of the spoils between the noble Senators and Representatives, The latter claim the right to mame appointecs for their districts, and the President is said to side with them, On the other hand, the Senators, who have the confirming power in their hands, are unwilling to let anybody ‘have @ may’’ in the matter but themssives, and refose te allow any dictation from the member ef the lower Howse. 0 1 happgne that Precept Jobueon eopds jn Bame after name, endorsed by members of Congress, only to see them rejected ignominiously, The favorites of both republican and democratic members have thus eon treated alike, and Fernando Wood's pets, or John Morrissey’s “beauties,” have been placed on & par with the chosen of the most loyal members of Congress. Senators blame the President for this, while Congressmen blame the Senators, It is manifest that while this squabble continues the work of manufacturing officials will go on very slowly. Perhaps the best way to cnt the Gordian knot would be for the President to disregard both Senators and Representatives, and nominate moderate and respectahle democrats and republicans for the remaining oftices to be flied. The Reported Capture of Fort Buterd by Indians. Superintendents of Indian A‘fuire now here with Indian delegations have received letters (rom the vicinity of Fort Buford, Dakota Territory, via Dubuque, Iowa, which appear to lend confirmation to the reported cap- ture of Fort Buford, In the absenes of official intelli- gence, however, from agents of the Indian Bureau at Fort Sully and Fort Rice, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs is still inclined to doubt the trath of tne report, The Massacre at Fort Phil Kearny—Iindica- tions of War. The Secretary of the Interior has received a» letter from Goneral Alf. Sully, dated Fort McPherson, Dakota ‘Territory, March 25, 1867, stating that himself and Gen- eral Buford, who are on their way to investigate the massacre at Fort Phil Kearny, were snowbound at that place. General Sully reports that on his passage out from Fort Laramie he has observed decided indications of a hostile gathering among the Indian tribes of that region. Mr. Bogy’s Basiness. It appears from a letter of the Secretery of the Inte- rior, Mr. Browning, in reply to « resolution of the Senate, that Louis V. Bogy, last Commissioner of Indian Affairs, has been appointed by hima special agent of that De- partment for the purpose of receiving al! goods for the Indians to be delivered under the contracts lately en- tered into with C. Franklin Bates, of New York, John Vv. Fi ul & Co,, of Chicago, and 8. C. Hunt & Co, of St. Louis; and also to buy such other goods and mer- chandise as may be required for the Indian service for the present year. He is authorized to employ assistants to take charge of such goods and mer- ehandise and have them forwarded to thelr desti- nation, Those for the Indians on the Missouri river and for the Western States and Territories he is to have forwarded to St. Louis, and from there he is to see they are ali sent to them proper destination in the Indian country. He is consequently authorized to make such contracts for freight and other incidental expenses as may be necessary, giving in all cases, whether for the purchase of said goods and merchandise, or for the em- ployment of agents, &c., aud for warehousing, forward. ing and freighting the goods, such vouchers as may bo necessary to enable the parties to obtain the settlement of their claim against the Indiam Bureau. He is allowed his necessary expenses and $10 a day for his services, He was appointed the 4th of March last. Lands for Minnesota. The Secretary of the Interior having returned with his approval a list of lands, embracing 254,860 acres, which was submitted to him as inuring to the State of Minnesota, under the act of September 4, 1841, granting 500,000 acres for purposes of internal improvements, the Commissioner of the General Land Office is having a certified copy prepaged for trad=mission to the Governor of that State, ‘ Distribution of Seeds in the South. Hon. Isaac Newton, Commissioner of Agriculture, has appointed Theodore C. Peters, of Maryland, late Presi- Gent of the New York Agricultural Society, an agent to aid in the distribution of seeds in the South, to perfect the list of Southern statistical correspondents, and to co-operate in the reorganization and improve- ment of Southern agriculture. FORTIETH CONGRESS. Extraordinary Seesl f the Senate. Wasaixcton, April 9, 1867. YOLUNTRER ARMY OPFICERS NOW IN SERVICR. Mr. TromBcL4, (rep.) of Il1., introduced a resolution which was adopted, directing the Secretary of War 0 | furnish to the Senate a list of the names of volunteer ofticers now in the service of the government, their rank and the icular duties assigned to them; that he in- form the Senate under what law they are retained, and whether some of them may not be dispensed with witn- out detriment to the public service.

Mr. Taaven, (rep.) of Nobruska, said st woud be recol- fected that during the last session of the Thirty-ninth Congress the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Wade) offered a res- olution making inquiry of the President of tne Un ited States in to the absence of Alexander Cummings, Governor of Colorado, from that Territory, how long he had been absent, &c. That resolution was modified be- fore it was passed go as to call for information regarding the absence of other Territorial officers from their post of duty. He (Mr. Thayer) would now inquire whether SS had yet been received to that resolution. ¢ Carn replied—No reply had been received. Mr. THayen then offered the following resolution :-— Resolved, That the President be requested to inform the Senate when Alexander Cummings was appointed Governor of Colorado Territory, how much of the time the said Cum- has been absent from the Territory since his appoint- ment, and whether by permission or not, and how much of said time absent with perimission and without permission, and whether on public business or not, and whether his sa: paid t» him during bis absence or not, and how rauich has been pald to him as salary for the time he has been absent from the Territory. Mr. Tuaver said he had been informed by gentlemen who had an opportunity of knowing the fact that Gov- ernor Cummings, ‘was appointed Governor less than two years ago, had been absent from Age ay, Bi t months during that time.

ANNIVERSARY OF LEE'S SURRENDER. Celebration te Buffalo. second jiversary of the cerreder ty Geseral The ann! Lee was celebrated here to-day by a THE RING. Prize Fight for $1,000 Between Charles Collins and George Rooke. COLLINS THE WINNER. Sixteen R is im One Hour a Quarter. ke. ke. ae. Aprize fight came of on Fisher's Island, noar the head of Long Island sound, yesterday morning, between ‘Charles Collins, alias the ‘Cast Iron Man,"” and George Rooke, which was won by Collins, the referee deciding that Rooke struck Collins when down, ‘The fight was severe one, and Collins was dreadfully mutilated about the face, while Rooke came out of the fight without a black eye or a contusion of any kind. Considerable ex- citement prevailed at the decision of the referee; but it being final, there could be no appeal, and the badly whipped man was the winner. This fight ts the first ‘that has occurred under the new rules of the English ring, where the seconds have to leave the ring as soon as time ia called, and it seems to be a great improvement on the old system, where the principals were so much annoyed by the ‘‘clapping”’ of the seconds, SKETCHES OF THE MEX, George Rooke is an Irishman, born in Duldalk, [re land, He is twenty-five years of age, and stands live feet eleven inches and three quarters in bis stockings. Rooke 1s very large boned, and one of the most muscu lar men of his weight that ever stripped in the ring, his back, shoulders and arms being covered with wonderful large lumps of sinow and muscle, When visited the day before the Hight at his rooms he weighed, in fighting costume, one hundred and forty-four pounds; and his clear ey®, fine form and confident appearance proved the great care and masterly attention that he has re- ceived from his trainer, Morris Phelan, the woll known English hgbt weight pugiiist. Rooke was trained at bis own home, in Providence, Rhode Island, whore he re- mained until Thursday last, when he changed his quarters to New London, Conn., taking bis breathings from the pure air of that locality. George Rooke is a gunsmith by profersion, and worked at that busi- ness in this country until after his late fight with Hussey, of Boston, which came of at Swampscot, Mass, whom he defeated in twenty-eight minutes ‘and fourteen rounds. George has always had a desire to try bis Powers, im the ring, and on the day Jim Kerrigan and lorris Phelan fought at Port Jervi, a year ago last Jan- uary, ho offered to fight any man on the ground for fu, Rooke’s parents are both Irish, and their names are the Celtic Rourke, the fathor boing a cattle dealer previous to bis removal to Birmingham, England, where he at Hbewn'() resides. George Rooke is a brother of the cele- brated Jack Rooke, the English pagilist, who a short time since fought yl Ral. He is a very quiet fellow, and ap] very Intelligent on atl matiers, including fighting. This was his second appearance im the ring, and he says that it shall not be his last, if he can flud an opponent, Charles Collins, alias the Cast [ron Man, is twenty-six years of age, five feet seven imches in height, and weighed, before going into training, one hundred and seventy-eighty pounds, Collins i# an on hav- ing been born in Poplar Newton, East Kad, Loudon. Hi boasts of being a nephew of Dan Collins, a famous Fi: lish pogilist, who fought Tom Sayera. Collins says t! hh jot six times iow Old Loar viz:—Tom Jobn, man, whom says he “gol away with’? very Sony ov; and then with Dan ‘Davia, Of Swanson, Water ; and then w: vis, of who had'to succumb before the battering rams of the Collins afterward fought and defeated of London, and also had an engagement with another inhabitant of the English capital. England was with Jerry Hanran, which ended by the latter giving Collins £10 to make a draw of it. ‘this may be true, but not a word of it is men- tioned in the Fistinoa. After his arrival in this city he attended all the pugitistic exhibitions, and seemed anxious to try conclusions with the best sparrers to be found, at the same time declaring his willingness ‘to fight any 150 pound man inthe country. The admi- rers of pugilistic sports wore not long tm nding Collins a customer in the person of George ke, who had long been waiting for someone te yi about the above weight, and matters were soon satisfactorily arranged fora “mill” between them.

Rooke finished by throwing Collins heavily and tumbling over him. Rovunp 4.—They were Hoon at work, Collins dashing ont his right hand at the head, which landed near Rooke’s tet temple, and in return he got a heavy left hander on the mouth, another on tho jaw and a right hander on the right cheek, which cut a deep gash, and first biood was awarded to Rooke, who out-fought Cast Iron all over the ring. Several right handers were ex- changed, bat Rooke’s on the face and Collins’ at the body. Both down by side, Roun 5,—As soon ag they reached the scratch Collins began retreating and Rooke followed him, but soon re- turned to the scratch to draw Collins to him, The lattor which pit th organ oat of abape, ‘Coltas gos in a hard put thai ou ins got in a one on the sido of Rooke’s “ng and then’ th rushed together and pegged away at each other with both hands, Rooke’s blows being the most effective, and telling tales on the frontispiece of Coltins. They soon clinched, and Hooke brought Colling to earth with his hard hitting on the head, and walked to bis corner, Rovuxp 6.—The punishment that Collins had received in the previous rounds now began to show itself in bold relief, and he was bieeding copiously from nose, mouth and left cheek, while Rooke’s mouth was slightly cnm- soned from a rap that he had received in the previous round. Rooke off and landed his tefe on the Cast Iron Man’s chin, and the latter missed a well intentioned Tight hander at the body, They then dropped their hands and looked at eac! her, the fast fighting having — them both preuy out, Rooke was firs: to im operations by iting a left hander on Collins’ mouth, dhe then jomped away laughing. They then got Logether, after being urged by their backers, and had ® rattling tme, both hitting as fast as they could, Rooke’s blows telling all over Collins’ face, and the lat- tor working away lower down. The round closed by — going down from a heavy right hander from ¢. Rovxp 7,—Rooke walked gamely up to the scratch, bat this time Collins lingered on the way and was puffing and blowing like a grampus, They, however, soon worked up close together and went at it left and’ night, Rooke gotting in on Collins’ face and head two pretty severe hits, while the other Innded as many about the body and side of the head, but they seemed to lack force, Rooke beat Collins to the nd and feil over were both very mnch exhausted with the heavy txhting that nad taken place. 6.—When tho lighters reached the score neither of them seomed very anxious to begin, and when one advanced the other retreated, They then put down their hands and looked at each other for sometime. Collins was called on by Rooke to come to the scratch and fight, but he could not be atthat moment At length thy oe together and fought with their rigut bands, Kooke having a tight hold of Collins with his which was wraj around the latter's neck, Rooke’s blows were ail ip Collins’ face, and thoy made asad looking p ire of it, while Collins’ were princi- yon Rooke's left side. After a hard fought round Nlins got down.

Rooke at this time had not a discoloration ov his face, and seemed full of fight, and told his antagonist that be intended to win if it took him all day to do it. He taunted Collins for not coming to the scratch. After ashort time Collins made ® rush with nie right band at the ribs, but mised his mark, and received a sharp right hander on the mouth a he'came in. A rapid and slaughtering bout followed, Rooke getting in several blows in the face, Collins getting but a few in on the body. He appeared all abroad, hardly kvowing what todo. ‘ihe round ended by Rooke fight- ing Collins over the ropes at the feet of the referee and umpires, This was daimaging round for Collins’ face, and he was bieoding very profusely as he was taken to his corer. Rocny 10.—Collins came ap considerably revived and led off with his nght at Rooke's ribs, which he reached novereiy, but cone & noser for nis pains, He put in another beavy bit with bis on the ribs and recetved a right bander on it k.

Oration by Rev. Dr. Storrs. Last evening the Brooklyn Academy of Music was wei! filled by a highly intelligent audience, convened under the auspices of the Mercantile Library Association, to Maten to an oration by the Rev. Dr. Storrs, His subject was—‘Seven years of change among the nations," The President of the Mercantite Library Association in- troduced the orator, who was grected with applause. After a few introductory observations Dr. Storrs said, that in any great crisis of national affairs where dan- ger was imminent, when vast interests were at stake, when the issue was doubtful, and when the passions which were commonly in reserve had come to a sudden, fierce and universal exhibition, the most important and significant changes might occur around a people without attracting their thoughtful notice, Sach a people would hardly interpret for itself the changes that were taking Place within itself until its emergency was passed, and would hardly comprehend the meaning and the relations of those very events occurring within ite own bounda- ries, which were passing, as in the flashing whirl, before its almost dazzled eyes. Im a measure it had been so with our nation in the years that were now closing. The war from which we had recently emerged eame upon us suddenly, and although fore- warned of it, we were not in the least expecting it, and when the final outbreak came we were almost surprised by it as we should be on going from yonder doorway to see @ volcano break ‘forth in the peaceful moon, and throw lava into our atmosphero—almost as we should be to see the majestic constellation of Orion exhibiting before our eyes and scattering its stars{n different directions, It was at once recognized as a war which involved in its final issue the question of the integrity of the nation itself—whether it should continue one organic and permanent peo- ple, or should be split into fragmentary and hostile parte, It was a war which grew ewiftly from = small beginning to immense proportions. The first attack on an isolated fortress in Charleston harbor swelled into three thousand skirmishes and bat- ties, and the blood that at the outbreak of the wat sprinkled the stones in the streets of Baltimore, became & very reign of blood long continued and far extended, which ite crimson showers on a thousand fielde and hills and made the very brooks run red. Echoes from it were heard in every pulpit and church, and no audionce like that could be gathered before any platform during those tremendous years without hearing in the voice of the speaker either direct in- struction and exhortation concerning the war or the echoes from its tones in his own. It was a little more than seven years since, on the 27h of February, 1860, that the first public address was made in the city of New York by one who had since been known to the country and the world as Abraham Lincola, (Applause.) It wasa litle more than seven ears since, on the 16th of March, 1860, that Andrew ens and Wm. Hazlitt were publicly hanged at Charlestown, Va., for participating in the assault on Har- 8 Ferry, organized and conducted by John Rpown. It ts not yet seven years since, in the last week of April and the middle of May, two great conventions were as- sembled at Charleston, 8. C., and at Chi the result of which was to break up the party which for many years, with few intervals, had ruled the politics of tis Country, and placed Mr. Lincoln in the Preaident’s chair. ‘The orator then the prominent events of the war.

Five years ago, April, 1862, the Emperor of the Freneh commenced active hostitities against our neighboring Mexican republic and undertook by arms to set up & threatening monarchy upon eur southwestern frontier. In October the same year the Emperor proposed to the Russian and English governments inter- vention in our affairs, which meant war, by these three great Powers ugainst the United States for the pur- pose of setting up the Southero =tates as an independent nation. still lager, in March, 1864, his army carried the Emperor whom he had choyen to his capital in Mexico, and already this army is out of Mexico, and that med- diesome Einperor is as likely to underiake to regulate the planets as to interfere in our aifwire again, Bat while these events were transpiring at home, there were trapspiring great events abroad, fuil also of tmpertance and of vast relationg to the future progress of mankind. He would cai! their attention to that empire whose ¥in- gular relations of friendship with us, and whose con- trast with us attracts the attention of students, and with whom our relations are Jikely to become more intimate in the time to come—Russia.

The lecturer then sketched clearly and comprehensively the impor- tant events since that time to the present that have marked Russian civilization and progress, dwelling par- ticularly upon the emancipation of the serfs by the ukage of the present Emperor. From Russia he passed to Prussia, speaking of ita limited extent in territory in times past, ite increasing growth and power uader its various Kings, and so on up to the iate war with Austria, upon which he spoke at length, ziving agrapbic sketch of Bismarck, and an eloquent review of the warand its re- Office if te we fA ota 9g ca telegraph office, and spread to all the neighboring build- ‘on both sides of the street.
