Says Atlas m the " World" i— The wellknown proprietor of a, famous New York paper is m Paris, and being rather thrown off his balance by mixing m the society of ■princes is dangerously effusive m his remarks. He, has more than once spoken to a friend of mine of the great friendship between Russia and America, and says that as soon as England has her hands full with Russia, America will go m, at her to wipe out old scores. I know no more unlikely event. America has all to gain and nothing to loseby keeping out of it, if we go to war with Russia. Her exports •of corn will be immensely increased, her western railroads •will be vastly benefited, while the first Russian privateer will drive our carrying^ trade, into American hands. Brother. Jonathan is too sharp to throw all this away lor the sake of payiug off a grudge.
