heir own homes. As that was a part of the programme exposed by the K. G. C., they heard it with mingled emotions of horror and gratitude — horror that it should include the destruction of so much of their own property, and gratitude that it was never carried out! But the dying man knew how to secure his everlasting fame; and gasping as he was his almost wasted breath, the temptation was irresistible. He knew that the nation that was run mad by Morgan's revelations, Millerism, Mormonism, Kossuth, the Prince of Wales, any and everything, would be terribly frustrated by his disclosures. These he could make in safety, as he would not survive to be put in one of Lincoln's dungeons! His pleasure must have been exquisite; equal to that of a vain man reading his own obituary; or of an Irishman who is assured that he will have a large funeral! Now, says he, though I retell a most improbable story — the more improbable the more it will be believed — I shall die amidst a sensation, and wi<

The Russians in New York. --The ovation which the Russian naval officers have received in New York city is almost equal to that which was given to the Japanese by the same excitable cockneys a few years ago. Whether it be the Prince of Wales, or Tommy, Kossuth, or Kossuth's enemies, New York is always ready to stand upon its head and flourish its heels in the air. The Russians, if they are men of sense, will attach no importance to the New York demonstration. They are used simply for a show and a sensation, and if they do not discover as much, they have little knowledge of the mercurial and unreliable character of the New York populace.

horrible crimes, with which their papers teem, from motives of vanity. They thought it, he said, indicative of enormous power, and their vanity taught them to believe that great power and great wickedness were one and the same thing. There can be no doubt that all this is strictly and accurately true.--The Yankee nation is the vainest and most frivolous nation on the face of the earth.--The Chinese, in this respect, are not worthy to be named on the same day with them.--Their reception of Kossuth, their unutterable follies with respect to Tommy and the Japanese, their disgusting toadyism to the Prince of Wales, their exhibition before the officers of the Russian fleet, are like their bastings about their iron-clad ships, and their invincible armies only so many ebullitions of puerile vanity. They think that all the world stands in terror and admiration of their mighty strength and invincible prowess, and they seek to deepen the impression of awe and wonder. They do nothing without

aper, says: There are few more curious subjects for speculation than that involved in the probable reception which would be met with by the political refugees whom the chances of this contest may force long, to seek an asylum in Great Britain. We have been, from time immemorial, accustomed to extend a frank hospitality to exits of every shade of creed and party. The dethroned tyrant and the escaped have been equally welcome. Louts Philippe or Louis Napoleon; Metternich or Mezzini; Kossuth or Jean de Bourbont Charles the Tenth or Clausidies; it is all one to us. We should be happy to harbor Souleque; we should be happy to see Juarez; and if His Hollness the Pope turned up some fine morning at Exeter Hall would leave its card upon him to strive to convert him. Abraham Lincoln in condon would be a lien, and Mr Beresford Hope, the Marquie of Bath, and Lord Robert Ceell would be proline of civilities to Jefferson Davis. But how would it be if Benjamin F Butler came among us ? W

Columbia, South Carolina, September 1; 1864. To the Editor of the Richmond Dispatch: Sir: In the editorial of your issue of the 19th ultimo, which has just come under my notice, you have represented Mr. Juhan Allen--recruiting for the Federal army in "Holland, Belgium and the rest of Europe,"--to be a Pole. Allow me to correct this mistake. The Mr. Allen you refer to is a Hungarian. He was colonel in the Hungarian army; came to the United States in 1859 with Kossuth as a member of his suite; and since then remained, and lived, in New York. As to his name, "Allen," (upon which you comment that it has "an unusually small stock of consonants for one of his race,") it shows him to be a Hungarian of the Magyar race, or a descendant of those Huns who, in the ninth century, invaded and conquered a part of the ancient Stavonia and established the modern Hungarian kingdom. "Allen" means in the Magyar language what "hurrah" means in the English, or the "yell." of the Confede
