advantages of cultivation, deer, fish,
game and hay are abundant, tho iJua
ian Fur . Couipny contemplates the
formation of a settlement thcro for. the
reception of its own servants." Of the
many large rivers which flow through
Knssiun America, 110110 of them have
been explored to their sources; but tho
Colvillo, tho Stikino, tlio Youkn or
Kwichpack, and the Kuskokwiti, nro
supposed lo run a courso of upwards
of 1,000 milgs, nnd to bo nayigable for
considcrablo distances. Tho Colvillo
is two miles Wido at its mouth m the
Anic Sea. Tho Stikino enters tho
ricifio in 6G dog. 50 sec. N. , latitudo,
whore it is three miles wide, and at a
distanco of thirty ruiles from tho sea
has a width of otio mile; but its. source
is in the British torritorv. The Yon-
don or Kwichpack rises to the west of
the Jiocky Mountains, not lar irom the
Ifiiiou of tint Francis and Lewis, which
form the Pclly, flows first to tho northi
and. after rcfi'ivinjr a larire tributarv

which is about 0110 thousand miles
I'l'otn its mouth; it is, accord iinr to Sir
.1. liitliardson, one milo aud a otiartor
wide. Some. idea of lho vtiltieoftlie fur
trade of lho ' region mav bo formed
fVom tho fact that the J7ushian Fur
(Jompany. maintain about 00 establish
ments among tlio inlands, along the
coasts, upon the mainland itfclf, and
in the r oxAleutian and Knulo Islands,
which htrctch across to tho co:itt of
Japan, and that lho Tchukcho of Si
beria cross Bohrino-'s Straits to trade
with thi) 3'jS'iuimaux, . and with the
Iiussian posts recently planted in that
quarter, for furs und fossil ivory. Tho
trade of Sitsa, tho capital, in 1812, was
estimated, nt 10,000 fur seals, 1,000
sea otters,' 12,000 beavers,'. 2,500 land
otter., and 20,001) sea-horse teeth, be
sides foxes and martins, and the pro

Moved that ITussian America 1 wilt be
found hvrcatler to possess fur 'creator
riches in us minerals and ores than in
its furs or fisheries. Several valuablo
minerals, such as fine jasper, porcelain
clay, semi opal, plumbago, gypsum,
various colored ochers, amber, Hulpherj
petroleum, galena, ' porphyry, varie
gated marble, and also iron ore have
already been discovered in many parts
of tho territory! Coal is found In a
bundancc in all ..parlaof tho immenso
region, w'uicn .will, prove of great value
in J'acilitating mining operations. A
brief study of tho above facts, in rela
tion to Kussian America, which bavo
been mainly obtained from a work
published ia 1855 by the Literary and
Historic Society of Quebec, jind which
may therefore bo deemed authentic,
will teiid'to show that, independently
of any jioliticul purposes which tho
Americans may bavo kept in view in
ncquireing tho territory, tho .develop
ment of its varied resources .son object
worthy .of thejr skll and enterprise,

Soliloquy of Ben. Butler.
And this is my home! And all this
easo and Inxury is miue; all stolen from
honest people. "All these spoons, and
these paintings, all this silver ware a
dictionary" of initials, all this furnituro,
all these clocks, statuettes, engravings,
China ware,, jewelry for my family,
watches for myself and friends, arc
mine. Was ever human oul 6old for
so great a price? , - ,
Jly nauao is Benjamin F. Butler.
That is not my name but it is tho epi
thet given my tenement of corruption
by tho fiends who begat mo. I am
full of worms, worms which in the fu
turo will swarm in my rotten carcass,
sickon nnd dio from tlio poison in me.
And each worm is but tho crawling
livingncss oftho evils which fill my
soul, that Is, if brutes like I havo souls.
I. have a great brain a greater mem
ory. . .
I remember back to New Orleans, to
Fort Fisher, to Big Bethel, to the Bal-'
Vmore and Charleston Convention, to
my eaily life of corruption and infamy,
to my partnership with theivos and
swindlers -to my boyhood which was
spent in stealing, lying, cowardly abuse
( fitllo childtcn anil study of initio
own natnre that I might draw inspir
ation of wickodncss from my own ttoul
to th wondrous avenues to concep
tion, and here my individuality begins
as Brute Beast Blundering Bag-eyed

. And from thenoo ns integrals I traco
my genealogy, as follows:
Before (iod with His band moved
tho world into form thero wero spirits
of evil, souls naturally damned. ' Mach
C3CI0 of years mado a boll,' There
wero at the time of my conception
sevontocn thsusund hells, or vaults of
damned ones . of tho. damned. And
each of these vaults was a hermetically
caled cauldron, hotter than hell itself,
in whjch rolling, steaming, frying,
roasting in the putrid heat and Hasti
ness of corruption thero stowed and.
cursed tho villains of perdition whoso
sins had been so great ' that pen of
mortal or immortal never dared at
tempt a description of their wicked
ticss, lest tho band who wrolo bp'pois;
oncd with corruption: And as limo
rolled on, thero gathered in tho center
of a heated domo, a 6ingle drop Ot dis
tilled damdation, lo vile to burn. ' '
And ono day thoro was a convention
of fiends whero tho crcdentails wero to
bo tho foulest thing even fionds could
lagino. And by strange chance each
fiend brought a singlo drop of damna
tion gathorcd with a spoon from the
domo ot perdition's vault they wero'
emptied into a ivasto vessol and thus
mv soul was -consolidated. And then
to givo it life, each fiend and villaiu
damned, there in' convention, gavo an
offering. . Each gave a part of himself,
to hiako mo a pet in hell. Ono contri
buted hate; another, envy; another,
falsehood; another, cowardice; another,
treachory; anolhor, theft; anothor. in
famj'; anolhor, tyranny; another, llcenr
liousness: another, malice; another, this
and another that, till disgustod with
their offerings which filled a pot with
slime, they loft mo in a hiding place till
infamy consolidated and 1 took the
