'V Nevertheless, this exulted potentate has always eviticoJ a strange affection for Yankee land, and in many ways encouraged onr i men of genius and.enterprise to regard St. 1 Petersburg as a city of golden reward.? The railroads which the government has fouud essential to its schemes of internal ^.improvement have been built and equipped by men whoso local habitation is in Phila dclphia and Baltimore. The most valuable contracts for the construction of machinery have been awarded to American parties over the heads of skillful competitors in the land of Bcrminghrtiu and Sheffield. And j now we find the government of the Czar, which is working with indefatigable energy to retrieve the disastrous consequences of j "the war in the Crimea, securing the services j of our ingenious engineers to raise from the harbor of Scbnstopol that extensive navy which it was found necessary to sink, to j save from the grasp of the allies. Concerning tins Yankee expedition to tlic Crimea, considerable misrepresentation lias gone abroad, in consequence of tlic liastv statements of the Boston press. In spite of the alleged sailing of n company destined to forestall those who had been announced as the lucky contestants for the contract, we are now positively assured that the sole contract for the performance of this m ighty task was awarded by the Court of St. Petersburg to Col. John E ' Jowen, of Boston who is renowned in hi. j.oculiar vocation of a submarine engineer. The company which I has sent vessels to Sebastopol. in advance j of this distinguished engineer, has merely i permission to survey the harbor and the wrecks, and in case of the failure of the con- j tractors, to make an attempt to accomplish ' the work. In the meantime, Col. (Juwcii ) has made the most extensive preparations for the expedition, and from the power nud ! efficiency of his arrangements, he feels con- ! tident of his success. Besides the two ves- j sels he has engaged, there are two transport ' ships, of a thousand tons each, several gnn- ! J' boats, powder, :iml :m immense variety of all ! hinds of materials placed at liis command j by llie Kussian Government. The engines, 1 suits of sub marine armor, pumps, floating docks, and other facilities for performing the contract, are already complete. The organized force to be employed will amount to between 1,500 and 2.000 men. It is stated that the old method of raising vessels by means of chains and scows, which the "Boston Sub-marine Company" profess to treat with contempt, is sanctioned by Col. Gowcn as the only sure and efficient method of proceeding under the circumstances. Philadelphia is interested in Col. Gowen's success. The company formed here is connected with that gentleman's operations, and moreover, we have the credit of having the first party at Sobastopol enga god in surveying the mound. and adiustiimr Llie * (7 O ' " V "O preliminaries for moro vigorous work.?

A Cinoin- ~ niti daily paper states that ono day last 1 iveek 10,000 barrels of alcohol were sold s .o a hou.se in New Orleans, intended for c shipment lo France. A considerable quan- c lity of'tho alcohol made here is employed I n iho manufacture of enmpheue and tlic JJ ,-arious burning fluids in domestic use; 1 but the greater part is exported.

To a certain extent, this is doubt- ' less correct, so far at least as brands of ' questionable reputation arc concerned ; i l>ut wo do not supposo that tho brandies J nre adulterated to any greater degree now i than formerly. It will be remembered that during the ' scarcity of breadstuffs in Europe, while the Crimean war was pending, an edict was promulgated in France prohibiting tlie distilliatioii of spirits from grain. This eiliet has continued in force ever since, and hence 1 iho extraordinary demand for our alcohol j for shipment to that country.

The extreme jealousy and rivalry existing among the principal manufactories is a sufficient safeguard against the extensive adulteration which is surutiscd.

Y. Jour. Com. . Hints lo Planters.?It is to be feared that the present high prices of cotton may lead the planters of the South into a great error, viz : the direction of all their energies, the present year, to the production of ilia staple, to the neglect of the breadstuff' j crops. They forget, or are apt to do so, ! that a failure in the latter causes the success of the former lo "turn lo ashes," in their pockets. Cotton is high, but may be readily brought down by over-prod action, and when that is doue in time of scarcity in ar tides of food, tlio distress is wide-spread aud disastrous. If cotton commands a good price, so does corn, wheat, and indeed grain of all sorts, together with beef, pork, mutton and other meats, into which they are converted. Let planters recollect this, and not he lead astray by the temporary inlhtlion of 'trices. "We are candid to state our belief that cotton will continue to command a good price, but not high enough to justify people in running wild in its production?a state of things that is sure to bring about the revolution in valuo which they so much deprecate.?Savunnuh Republican.

A HOOSIER DOORKEEPER Some years since, at a time when Ludlow Smith, the sinco opulent theatrical manager*, were traveling with a large company through the western part of Indiana, everything was flat?business was stagnated ; canals were frozen lip, and as for money, no such article was in circulation. Yet the managers strode on, and every member of the company knowing them to bo "good," stuck to them like wax. After a time, the managers, almost in despair. reached something of a sizeable town?put out their bill?after roving, secured a magniQjccnt Ilall in the shape of an old barn and calmly awaited the result. The constable of the town was securcd as money taker, (money was taken at the door) aud evening arrived. Many an anxious eye from the stage peeped through the little hole in the green curtain?and, amazement! the Temple barn was soon crowded. The performances went off that night nervously and charmingly. Every body, actress and actor, was greeted with shouts.".'/At last the perfonnanco was concluded, an in an ccstacy of delight one of the managers sought the doorkeeper. " Rather good house, Mr. Doorkeeper." ' O'yes, right smart-^-here's tfife dockerments." Here Mr. Doorkeeper landed the astonished manager one dollar and Jifli cents exactly.
