DA, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 12, 1856.
' The Coronation of the Czar,
The following beautiful description of the
scene in the ‘Church of the Assumption at the
Coronation of the Czar is from the pen of William Russell; the Irishtaan, the special correspondent of the London Zimes:
The Empress Dowager and the Imperial family have already entered the church and taken
their places on the platform round the thrones.
Amid the ringing of bells and the shouts of the
populace the young Emperor and his bride
reach the entrance of the church. And now
they detach themselves from. the crowd of oflicials about them, and passing along the gorgeous screen that separates the chancel from
the church, they fall on their knees before the
images of the saints, kiss with fervent reverence the sacred relics, and they offer up silent
prayers to heayen, Let the perfect grace and
earnesthess with which the young Empress performs these acts be noted. She is richly attired
in a white robe, studded with the finest jewels,
but her head is adorned only by her own luxuriant hair, without a single ornament. Her right
hand is ungloved, and with this she crosses herself as she performs her religious offices, not
mechanically, as if going through part of a prescribed ceremony, but-fervently, religiously,
and with the grace of perfect womanhood. And
now the Emperor, followed by his bride. moants
the platform of the throne, and repeats from a
book delivered to him by the Archbishop of
Moscow the confession of his Christian faith,
He then receives the benediction of the Archbishop, and suddenly the choir, which has hitherto preserved silence, bursts out in psalms and
praise to God, and the holy building vibrates
with the ring of their harmonious voices, There
isno note of organ or sound of other instrument, The signers, admirably orgauized, and
chaunting with astonishing power and precision,
need no support; the plaintive soprano voices
of the boys rise clear and distinct above the
deep tones of the rich basses, and the sustained
harmony, solemn and affecting, throbs through
the holy building. But already the imperial
mantle of silver aud ermine, richly studded with
gems, is in the hands of the Archbishop, who
sroceeds to clasp it round the shoulders of his
fajesty.
Next follows the great crown, whicli is placed
by the same hands on the imperial head, reverently 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 before the Emperor. His 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 bronght,
which the Emperor places op the head of the
Empress, where it is properly adjusted by the
Mistress of the Robes, and his Majesty, having
invested his bride with the imperial mantle,
draws her towards him, and tenderly embraces
her. This isthe signal for the whole imperial
'family, with the foreign princes, to approach
and congratulate their Majesties, *and nothing
can be more touching than the spectacle, from
the evident earnestness 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 imperial family) are received and returned. Oh! for
a touch of nature whie> .»xkes all the world kin!
How elcetric is its effect! Ifere, in the midst of a
ceremony necessarily stiff and formal, there is
suddenly, on the part of the principal performers, a general outburst of natural feeling; and
mark its effect—there is scarccly a dry eye
among the immense masses crowded in the
church, while the feeble frame of the EmpressMother toiters with outstretched arms towards
. the imperial son, and passionately clasps and
. holds himina long embrace; and tears and
smiles ming) together as the little grand dukes
. are seen to clamber up to the side of their fa' ther and uncle, who has to stoop low in order
to reach the little faces which asked to be kissed,
But the most important and solemn part of
. the ceremony has now to be performed, and
there is a general stilluess in the church as the
Emperor descends from his throne and proceeds
to the entrance of the chancel. He is met there
by the Archbishop of Moscow, who holds in his
hands the sacred vessel which contains the holy
oil. Stretching forth his right hand, the venerable father takes a golden branch, with which,
having dipped it in the consecrated oil, he
anoints the forchead, cyelida, nostrils, ears,
hands and breast of the Emperor, pronouncing
the solemn words—Impressio doni Spiritus
Sancti,’ The act is done, and Russian eyes
look with awe upon the anointed of God, the
. delegate of His stabil the high priest of His
church, at once Emperor and Patriarch, consecrated 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
isin like manner anointed by the Archbishop,
but on the forehead only. Then the Emperor
and Empress, the one on the right the other on
the left of the Archbishops of Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Novgorod, receive the holy sacra. ment; to the Emperor, and the chosen servant
. privileged by heaven, it is ministered in the
two kinds; the Empress receiving only the sac/remental bread, which is partaken of by all
members of the Russian church, Onve 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 dignitaries 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, and followed a short
distance by the Empress.
An Aspucrion.—The St. Louis Intelligencer,
of the 25th September, tells the following story:
A few nights ago, one of the most daring abductions ever heard of occurred in our city.
. We forebore saying any thing about it before,
in hopes that some light would be thrown upon
the matter, but as yet itis 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 threatened to shoot the driver if he stopped. The
latter put whip to the horses, and kept on ata
dashing pacé, and nothing farther is known of
the transaction. From all the circumstances,
there can be no doubt that some horrible crime
has been perpetrated.
Deatu on THE Pramie.—The Decatur (IIl.)
Chronicle says that the skeleton of a man was
found on the prairie, about eight miles southeast 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 traveler lost his way, and had laid down in the
sleep of death.

Jefferson and Hamilton.
These emitient men have been often’ compared aud contrasted by their separate admirers
as to their talents, their services to-their county and their influence on succeeding generaons.”
When we consider the very early age at
which Hamilton obtained distinctioa as a political writer; that at thirty he was associated with
Madison and Ja
the new Federal Constitution, and that he was
the ablest as well as the largest’ contributor to
that unrivalled commentary on our. political
system;

Of the services of these statesmen, as. well
to the country as to the Administration of which
they were members, they both mué&t bé placed
in the highest rank. Hamilton, at the head of
the Treasury. Department, subjected the finances of the nation+the collection, : safe-kceping,
and distribution of its revenue, the duties and
the responsibilities of all its fiscal officers—to a
course of regulations so efficient and complete
as to have since undergone no material change.
Jefferson, on bis part, in his diplomatic correspondence generally, and especially with Genet
and with Hammond, defended the rights and interests of his country with masterly ability.—
The decimal currency, of which he was the authorymay claim to have rendered more useful
service to his country than any one of which
his rival can boast. The saving of time and
trouble which this improvement has already ef: .
fected it is not easy to estimate. On the score
of official services, their merits may be regarded as not materially different.
But as to their influence on succeeding generations, there can be no comparison between
them. Hamilton’s political principles, gradually losing weight in this country, hort 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. His political maxims, exhibited ina
form which the humblest capacity can understand and remember’, have become familiar to
every American, and have obtained the currency and almost the weight in proverbs, He has
added new force to the prejudices of his countrymen against the artificial distinctions of rank;
and his denunciations of the abuses of power
find an echo in the bosoms of the great mass of
the American people. Being in accordance with
the great fundamental principles of our nature,
they are transmitted from generation to generation, and are ever gaining new force and au.
thority from time. They pervade the American mind as one ofits 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 Fedcral Government, Jefferson’s more penetrating .
influence has acted on its incorporeal part, its .
soul, and consequently partakes of the same su.

The Grave of President Monroe: ©
The New York Times calls attention to the
fact that the remains of President Monroe ane
interred in a burial ground in that city, without
a monument to wank his resti naipinee. He lies
beneath a simple slab, upon “hi . is merely.the
inscription—“James Monroe, Robert Tillotson.
Vawlt No. 147.” ‘There is nothing to ind
that the James Monroe mentioned is. the Monroe who was in the battle of White Plains, and
received a ball in his shonlder at the attack on
Trenton; who fought by the side of Lafayette
at Brandy wine} ho was Minister to France in
1794, and afterwards te England; who was Seeretary of State in 1811, and for two full terms
President of these United States. Yet such is
the fact, and that weather-stained slab of marble, two feet square, is all the monument that
Ex-President uroe has.) The Times states
the following ddifioval facts :
As Mr. Moiroe Was a Virginian, it is the supition of most that he died and was
uried within the Old Dominion, but this is dn
error, :
Mr. Monroe, in his last days, resided with
Samuel Gouverneur, late postmaster of this city
who married his only daughter; theit residence
was.oa the coraer of Prince and Elm streets,
The venerable Dr, Francis tells us that he often met Mr. Monroe walking out, when the
weatlicr was fine, and that on these occasions he
was the object of the most affectionate ‘attentions, He has often met him, making purchases for the family, at Centre Market, where all
the stallmen knew and honored him. He was
tall and spare, very modest in his bearing, dignified and genilemanly. In his address, he was
hesitating and diftideut, as polite to the poorest and humblest. He was one of the inost industriots of men, a hard student, and his cares
left their marks on his face. The wound that
he received at Trenton was felt for many years
afterwards—indeed, throughout all his life he
occasionally sutfered from it.
His last iiiness was a long and tedious one—
His attendant was his sen-in-law’s fam!lr phy
sician, Dr, Berger, . He expired at 10} o clock
on the morning of the 4th of July, 1891.
His funeral was a v imposing one—the
largest that at that tinie had ever been seen in
New York. The military, under General Jacob Morton, Grand Marshal, filled Broadwa
from Prince to Broad street, through which it
passed to the cemetery. The day was fine, and
the signs of mourning were generally adopted
by our citizens. The vaultin which his dust
still lies, is on the east side of the cemetery just
to the right of the main walk, as you look in
from the entrance. The passer-by will notice a
small pole, on which a dove honse is perched.
Withiu a yard of that pole is the sacred spot,
Mr. Monroe shares even his grave within anHe had no wealth when he died,
and in his death no tomb of his own.

their lives to get away from the fire, which is
furiously pursuing at their heels. It is unexplaincd, however, to the child that every animal in a
wild state will flee from the sight of fame; that
it is an instinct of his nature, and not any knowledge he may have of danger, which makes him
doso. The character of a prairie fire depends
on the wind and the combustible nature of the
grass. If the latter be dry it of course burns
down very rapidiy, 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 burvs down very
rapidly as it goes on. A horse and rider might
always leap across. with ease and safety. The
