As the Czar -has already more I frigid territory than his beloved subjects oan occupy, it is difficult to guess why he is jealous of poor little Sweden form? ing a settlement in the inhospitable lati? tude of Spitzbergen. Sorely the master I of Russia cannot entertain farther de? signs on the American purse and expect to turn Spitzbergen into a few millions of our gold, as he did Alaska. Much aa wo value the friendship of the giant of the North, we will purohase no more of,bia polar possessions, and the wiser plan for the autoorat would be not to frighten away from Spitzbergen the hardy Swedes and Norwegians, bub to compel them to buy tho cold country they Beem to covet. Alaska mast be a Bad place, indeed, when it does not offer any attractions even to a rovenue offioer. The Collector of Customs at Sitka, though he has, since his appointment, drawn a salary considerably greater than the amount ho has collected, has finally given up his place, in sheor despair of getting enough pluudor out of the seals aud walrusses to compensate for the disadvantages of oxile. It is to bo boped that he will ti nd sumo moro congenial receipt of customs at whioh to sit, but as for Alaska, if bfflco-holdors will not stay there, we can scarcely expect aoy one else to do so; for if a collector cannot make it pay, what hope is there for ordinary emi? grants?

The negroes in the field, who bad witnessed tho affair, immediately started to a neighboring plantation for a ductor, and on the way tboy found the negro who bad shot Rush lying dead in the road, with the top of his bead blown off and ids gun by his side. It is supposed that he accidentally discharged thq other barrel of bis gun and killed himself, or, thinking that be was being pursued aud would bu caught and punished, stopped in tho road aud blew bia own lmfid off.
