The rocoptlon glvon to our representatives by Russia must lie gratifying to cvory Ameri can, and may will suggest interesting thoughts as to tbo futuro of the two nations, and thoir mutual influence upon tbo world. The pro gress of nations is almost as distinct and mark ed as that of individuals, the difference being -only that of time; but t o this even there are exceptions, to the superficial oyo at least, as in tbe case of Austria/which within one month of the present year has been hurled from her po THE WEATOCIU—The cold weather of August is thus far amply made amends for b y Septem ber, as both days .and sights liavo been de lightfully warm and agreeable.

Russia then 4 w(uiQvspiscd as a disorganized barbarism, as '•\Mfildvo'l its Scythian ancestry; and America, or^our great republio, in its presont propor tions, was no moro looked for than wo should look now to a tribe of Choctnws for national rivalry. Now tbo two nations stand forth among tho leading powers of tho globo—a transformation in so brief a time as nlmost to realize tho ancient fabla, of Minerva springing fully armed from the brain of Jove. And both nations havo simultaneously thrown by tho last relics of barbarism, white serfdom and no\ gro slavery, as two athlebo would throw off whatever impedes them in a rnce fur tbe vlo tor's wreath.

The prasenao of Hecrota ries 8cward Wd Wellos, and Gen. Grant and Admiral Farragnt, of courso gave special in tercst to all tho (proceedings. Tho city'papers j o burning building.
