The Coronation of the C**r.
The following beautiful description of (be,
scene iu the Church of the Assumption at the
Coronation of the Czar is front the pen of Wil
liam Kussull, the Irishman, the special corres
pondent of the Londou IStnes:
The Empress Dowager and the Imperial fami
ly have already entered the church and taken
their places on the platform round the thrones.
Amid the ringing of bolls aud the shouts of the
populace tlie young Emperor and his bride
reach the entrance of the church. And now
they detach themselves from the crowd of offi
cials about them, and passing along the gor
geous screen that separates the chancel from
the church, they tall on their knees before the
images of the saints, kiss with fervent
ence the sacred relics, and they offer up silent
prayers to heaven. Let the perfect grace aud
earnestness with which the young Empress per
forms these acts be noted. She is richly attired
in a white robe, studded with the liuest jewels,
but her head is adorned only by her own luxu
riant hair, w ithout a single ornament. Her right
hand is ungloved, and with this she crosses her
self as she performs her religious offices, not
mechanically, as if going through part of a pre
scribed ceremony, but fervently, religiously,
and with the grace of perfect womanhood. Anu
now the Emperor, followed by his bride, mounts
the platform of the throne, and repeats from a
book delivered to him by the Archbishop of
Moscow tlie confession ol his Christian faith.
He then receives tlie benediction of tlie Arch
bishop, and suddenly the choir, which has hith
erto preserved silence, bursts out in psalms and
praise to God, and the holy building vibrates
with the ring of their harmonious voices. There
is no note of organ or sound of other instru
ment. The signers, admirably organized, and
ebauntiug with astonishing power and precision,
need no support; the plaintive soprano voices
of tlie boys rise clear and distinct above the
deep tones of the rich basses, aud the sustained
harmony, solemn and affecting, throbs through
tlie holy building. But already tile imperial
mantle of silver and ermine, richly studded with
gems, is in the hands of the Archbishop, who
proceeds to clasp it round the shoulders of his
Majesty.
>Jext follows the great crown, which is placid
by the same hands on the imperial haul, rever
ently bent to receive it, and the sceptre and
globe are then delivered to his Majesty, who,
invested with these royal insignia, seats himself
on the throne. The Empress now approaches
with a meek yet dignified air, and falls on her
knees tieforc the Emperor, llis Majesty, lifting
the crown from his own head, touches with it
that of the Empress, and again seats it on his
own brows. A lesser crown is then brought,
which the Emperor places on the bond of the
Empress, where it is properly adjusted by the
Mistress of the Kobes. and his Majesty, having
invested his bride with tlie imperial mantle,
draws iier towards hint, and tenderly embraces
her. This is the signal for the whole imperial
family, with tlie foreign princes, to approach
and congratulate their Majesties, ‘and nothing
can be more touching than the spectacle, front
the evident earnest ness with which embraces
(which are, indeed, the expression of the deep
and cordial love which binds in one common
bond of tenderness all the members of the impe
rial family) nre received and returned. Oil! for
a touch of nature whirl .n ikes all t he world kin!
IIow electric is its effect! Here, iu the midst of a
ceremony necessarily stiff and formal, there is
suddenly, ou tlie part of the principal perfor
mers, a general outburst of natural feeling; and
mark its effect— there is scarcely a dry eye
among the immense masses crowded in the
| church, while the feeble frame of the Etnpress
; Mother totters with outstretched arms towards
the imperial son, and passionately clasps and
holds him in a long embrace; and tears and
stnilhs tiling! together as the little grand dukes
are seen to clamber op to the side of their fa
ther and uncle, who has to stoop low in order
to reaclt the little faces which asked to be kissed.
But the most important and solemn part of
the ceremony has now to lie performed, and
| there is a general stillness in the church as the
Emperor descends from his throne and proceeds
to the entrance of the chancel. lie is met there
by the Archbishop of Moscow, who holds in his
hands the sacred vessel which contains tlie holy
oil. Stretching forth his right hand, the ven
erable father takes a golden branch, with which,
having dipped it in the consecrated oil, he
anoints the forehead, eyelids, nostrils, ears,
hands and breast of the Emperor, pronouncing
the solemn words—“ Impressio doni Spiritus
Sancti,’’ Tlie act is done, and Russian eyes
look with awe upon the anointed of God, the
delegate of llis power, the high priest of His
church, at once Emperor and Patriarch, conse
crated and installed in his high temporal and
spiritual office. A salvo of cannons, the bray
! of trumpets, the roll of drums, announce the
| completion of the sacred act to the ears of those
| who are without the church and cannot witness
| it. Meanwhile the Empress comes forward and
I is iu like manner anointed by the Archbishop,
j but on the forehead only. Then the Emperor
and Empress, the one on the right tlie other on
the left of the Archbishops of Moscow, St. Petcru
j burg, and Novgorod, receive the holy sacra
; uient; to the Emperor, and the chosen servant
| privileged by heaven, it is ministered in the
j two kinds; the Empress receiving only the sac
ramental bread, which is partaken of by all
members of the Russian church. Once more
the choir burst out in full jubilant chorus, and
their Majesties once more mount the platform
of the throne, and stand erect, while the mass
is intoned by the priests, and the responses are
chanted by the the choir. The holy service
being concluded, the Emperor steps from the
throne, bows right and left to the great digni
taries of the state, to the prelates, to the repre
sentatives of foreign powers, and then leaves
the church by the northern gate, accompanied
by his splendid retinue, anu followed a short
distance by the Empress.
An Addi ction. —The St. Louis Inlelligeneer,
of the 25th September, tells the following story:
A few nights ago, one ofr the most daring al>-
ductions ever heard of occurred in our city.
We forcbore saying any thing about it before,
in hopes that some light would lx; thrown upon
the matter, but as yet it is buried in profound
mystery. About half past eleven o’clock, a
carriage, to which four horses were attached,
was driving at a furious rate down Morgan
street. Inside were four men and a woman,
the latter screaming murder, and imploring
help from the passers by. Some gentlemen who
were standing in the street, ran up and attemp
ted to stop the horses, when one of the persons
inside presented a revolver, and threatened to
shoot any one who interfered. He also threa
tened to shoot the driver if he stopped. The
latter put whip to the horses, and kept on at a
dashing pace, and nothing further is known of
the transaction. From all the cjrcumstanccs,
there can be no doubt that some horrible crime
has been perpetrated.
Death on tub Prairie.— The Decatur (111.)
Chronicle says that the skeleton of a man was
found on the prairie, about eight miles south
east of that town. It was evidently that of
some one who was frozen to death last winter,
being enveloped in three coats and three pairs
of pants. A carpet sack and gun were lying
near, and every thing indicated that some trn
veler lost his way, aud had laid down in the
sleep of death.
Jrffrrson and Hamilton.
These eminent men have been often 'com
pared and contrasted by their separate admirers
as to their talents, their services to their coun
try, and their influence on succeeding genera- i
tions.
When we consider the very early age nt
which Hamilton obtained distinction us a politi
cal writer; that nt thirty he was associated with
Madison and Jay in expounding and defending
the new Federal Constitution, and that he was
the ablest as well ns the largest contributor to
that unrivalled commentary on our political
system; when we further recollect the readiness i
and ability with which he wrote his numerous !
reports to Congress, we cannot hesitate to award
to him the palm of superior genius over all his
contemporaries.
Of the services of these statesmen, ns well ;
to the country as to the Administration of which j
ttiey were members, they both must be placed ;
in tlie highest rank. Hamilton, at the head of j
the Treasury Department, subjected the flnan- 1
ces of the natiou-t-the collection, safe-keeping, |
and distribution of its revenue, the duties and
the responsibilities of all its fiscal officer* —to a
course of regulations so efficient and complete
ns to havo since undergone no material change.
Jefferson, on bis part, in his diplomatic corres
pondence generally, and especially with Genet
nnd with Hammond, defended the rights and in
terests of his country with masterly ability.—
The decimal currency, of which he was the au
thor, may cluim to have rendered more useful
service to his country than any one of which j
his rival can boast, The saving of time and
trouble which this improvement has already ef
fee ted it is not easy to estimate. On the score j
of official services, their merits may be regard- j
ed as not materially different.
But as to their influence on succeeding gene
rations, there can be no comparison between
them. Hamilton’s political principles, gradual
ly losing weight in this country, have now all
but disappeared, except in a very small class,
about as numerous perhaps as the disciples of
Sir Robert Filmer, or of Hobbes, in their day;
while Jefferson's still flourish in undiminished
vigor, llis political maxims, exhibited in a
form which the humblest capacity ca t under
stand and remembn', have become familiar to
every American, and have obtained the curren
cy and almost the weight in proverbs. He has
added new force to the prejudices of his coun
trymen against the artificial distinctions of rank;
and his denunciations of the abuses of power
find an echo iu the bosoms of the great nines of
the American people. Being in accordance with
the great fundamental principles of our nature,
they are transmitted from generation to gene
ration, and are ever gaining new force and au
thority from time. They pervade the Amcri-,
can mind as one of its elements, and can no !
more be separated from it than solar heat or
electricity from the atmosphere. If Hamilton’s
talents have modified the machinery of the l ed- ]
ernl Government, Jefferson’s more penetrating
influence has acted on its incorporeal part, its
soul, and consequently partakes of the same su
periority over ids rival’s that mind has over
matter. —Tucker x History of the United States.
Arrest op tub Supposed Murderer op Wat.i,
and VVn.u.uMHoN.—Last week, says the Los
Angeles Slar of the 25th nit., information was
given by Mr. Cyrus Lyon to W. II. Peterson,
under Sheriff, of the lurking place of the noto
rious Anastacio Garcia, accused of the murder
of Wall and Williamson, in November last, near
Monterey. On Sunday afternoon, Mr. Peterson
accompanied by Mr. Lyon, W. C. Getman and
Robert Wilburn, started out in search of the ac
cused. They had proceeded about thirteen miles
from the city, when they met three men on the
road, one of whom Mr. Lyon recognized as Gar
cia, the person of whom they were in search.
On being informed of the fact, Mr. Peterson
rode up to him and asked his name, which he at
once told, lie was then asked for arms, when
he exhibited a pistol, which was taken from him;
he was again ivdced the same question, when lie
produced another six shooter; on a third de
mand, he drew from his legging a large knife,
fourteen or sixteen inches long. Garcia made
no resistance, for Mr. Peterson on coming up to
him, levelled his double-barrelled gun upon
him, whilst Mr. Getman took his weapons. He
was then placed on a horse and brought to town.
Garcia, of his own free will, and without being
questioned by the otlieer, acknowledged having
killed Joaquin Della Torre, by shooting him
through the head: also the shooting of Beck
worth, who with a Sheriff’s posse went to arrest
him on the charge of killing Wall and William
son. In this attack he was wounded, lie then
made his escape to Montecito, about six miles
south of Santa Barbara. Here another attempt
was made to arrest him, hut he shot one of this
party, and again effected his escape. Since
that time lie has been lurking about San Juan
and other places in this county. This fact com
ing to the knowledge of Mr. Lyon, he Immedi
ately communicated with Mr. Peterson, who
took the course above detailed, and now has the
satisfaction of having captured the most dan
gerous and daring outlaw in the southern coun
try. Much credit is due to Mr. Lyon, also to
Messrs. Getman and Wilburn, for their prompt
and efficient services on the occasion. Garcia
will be taken to Monterey on the return trip
of the Senator.
Prairies o.v Fire. — The Chicago Times spoils
a great deal of lofty composition which has ap
peared in the popular magazine*, by the folow
ing matter of fact statements :
•‘A great deal of line writing has been wasted, 1
innumerable and excellent adjectives have been
misused, in discribing these prairie fires. Wri
ters who happen to see them once in their lives,
have told of them in terms the most extravageut,
and lugged them into works of fiction to do
wonders in the way of roasting herds of wild
Indians, butfalos, horses, &c. One of the first
books given to the child at school contains, even
at the present day, an execrable woodcut repre
senting divers quadrupeds using their legs for
their lives to get away from the lire, which is
furiously pursuing at their heels. It is unexplain
ed. however, to the child that every animal in a
wild state will flee from the sight of flame; that
it is an instiuct of his nature, and not any know
ledge he may have of danger, which makes him
do so. The character of a prairie fire depends
on the wind and the comliustible nature of the
grass. If the latter be dry it of course burns
down very rapidiv, and in a high wind the fire
will move with great speed; but the flames never
mount very high, and the space over which the
flame exists as it advances is at most but two or
three feet in width, as the flame burns down very
rapidly as it goes on. A horse and rider might
always leap across with ease and safety. The
most sanguine prairie fire we have ever seen,
which was with a full “ien knot - ’ wind might
have been crossed by a man on foot with small
damage to his pantaloons and whiskers. Once
over, he is entirely safe, a waste of only black
ened ashes, without smoke or cinders, Kaching
to the very border of the blaze.”
In the official returns of the Iowa State elec
tion, Calhoun county stands blank—no returns
received. The Iowa Reporter thus accounts for
it:—‘’The citizens of Calhoun county, coming
together to vote last August, for the first time,
were interrupted before they got at it by a
drove of elk, after which every man, deserting
the polls, gave chase, and never came back to
exercise the elective franchise.”
WHOLE NO. 162.
The Grave of President Monroe.
The New York Time* calls attention to tl 'e
fact that the remains of President Monroe ar»e
interred in a burial ground in that city, without
a monument to mark his resting place*, lie lies
beneath a simple slab, upou winch is merely the
inscription—‘‘James Monroe, Robert Tillotson.
Vault No. 147.” There is nothing to indicate
that the James Monroe mentioned is the Mou
roe who was in the battle of White Plains, and
received a ball in his shoulder at the attack on
Trenton; who fought by the side of Lafayette
at Bramlywiue; who was Minister to France in
17 U4, and afterwards to England; who was Sec
retary of State in 1811, and for two full terms
President of these Uuited States. Yet such is
the fhet, and that weather-stained slab of mar
ble, two feet square, is all tbe monument that
Ex-President Mouroe has. Tbe Times states
tbe follow ing additional facts :
As Mr. Monroe Was a Virginian, it is the sup
position of most people that he died and was
buried within the Old Dominion, but this is an
error.
Mr. Monroe, in his last days, resided with
Samuel Gouverneur, late postmaster of this city
who married his only daughter; their residence
was ou the corner of Prince and Elm streets.
The venerable Dr. Francis tells us that he of
ten met Mr. Monroe walking out, when the
weather was fine, and that on these occasions he
was the object of the most affectionate atten
tions. lie has often met him, making purchas
es for the family, at Centre Market, where all
the stallmen knetv and honored him. lie was
tall and spare, very modest in his 1 tearing, dig
uifled and gentlemanly. In his address, he was
hesitating and diffident, as polite to the poor
est and humblest. He was one of the most in
dustrious of men, a hard student, and his cares
left their murks on his face. The wound that
| lie received at Trontou w as felt for many years
afterwards—indeed, throughout all his life he
occasionally suffered from it.
His last illness was a long and tedious one.—
His attendant was his sou-in-law’s fam'l; phy
sician, Dr. Berger. He expired at 104 o clock
ou the morning of the 4th of July. 1831.
His funeral was a very imposing oner—the
largest that at that time had ever been seen in
New York. The military, under General Ja
j cob Morton, Grand Marshal, filled Broadway
j from Prince to Broad street, through which it
' passed to the cemelery. The day was fine, and
i the signs of mourning were generally adopted
by our citizens. The vault in which his dust
j still lies, is on the east side of the cemetery just
' to the right of the main walk, ns you look in
1 from the entrance. The passer-by will notice a
small pole, on which a dove house is perched.
Within a yard of that pole is the snored spot.
Mr. Monroe shares even his grave within an
other man. He had no wenlth when he died,
and in his death no tomb of his own.

Basswood Paper.— The Albany Evening Jour*-
nal printed its entire edition, daily and semi
weekly, on Wednesday last, on an improved
quality of basswood paper. It is nearly two
years since Mr. Beardsley undertook to make
paper from wood fibre, and he has succeeded, at
length, in producing a very excellent article,
though he has had to teach himself the entire
art, for ho never examined a paper mill till af
ter he began the manufacture of the basswood
article. He has to discard all labor educated in
the old processes of manufacturing paper.
Tue Bay Islands Ceased to Exist.—A Cor
respondent of the New York Herald at Belize
announces the fact that the British colony of
the Bay Islands had virtually ceased to exist,
and that the Mosquito King had been informed
by the officers of Her Brittanic Majesty's ship
Cossack of the termination of tho English pro
tectorate, and consequently the end of his rule.
The writer does not state what effect the news
had on his majesty. The islands would be trans

crowd; “you stand in my boots, that you never
paid me lor, and 1 want the money.”
A Curious Peace— There is a place In Penn
sylvania known as Treverton Manor, which has
been described as being “covered with stones
and under each stone were rattlesnakes; and
nothing but hemlock knots and huckleberries
were produced in addition to stones and rat
tlesnakes.”
Revenue. —Ben Stucken, who killed a mas
near Mitchell's ferry, on the Navisoto, Texas,
has been chased up by the brother of his victim,
ever since February last. A short time ago, he
was shot while lying in his bed, but is recover

present quarter of a year, the amount of money
found in dead letters at the General Postoftice
is $115,000, seven-eighths of which has been re
stored to its lawful owners.”
Queen Victoria. —It is now rumored that Sir
Henry Holland, Queen Victoria's physician,
who came passenger in the Cambria, is deputed
to see if our climate is such as the Queen can
trust her person to, in the event of her paying
a visit to Canada.
