INERESTING CORRESPONDENCE BE
TWEEN THE GRAND DUKE CON
STANTINE AND COMMANDER M. F.
MAURY.
The Richmond Enquirer, of Thursday, pub
lishes a correspondence between the Grand Duke
Constantino and Commander M. F. Maury, of
Virginia. It is of , an exceedingly interesting
character, and will doubtless be universally read:
St. Petersburg, 27th July, 1861. 1
8th August -
My Dear fcapt. Maury : The news of your
having left a service which is so much indebted
to your great and successful labors, has made a
very painful impession on me and my companions-in-arms.
Your indelatigable researches have un
veiled the great laws which rule the winds arid'
currents of the ocean, and have placed your name
amongst those which will be ever mentioned with
feelings of gratitude and respect, not only by pro
fessional men, but by all those who pride them
selves in the great and noble attainments of the
human race. That your name is well known in
Russia, I need scarcely add, and, though "barba
rians," as we are still sometimes called, we have
been taught to honor in your person disinterested
and eminent services to science and mankind.
Sircerely deploring the inactivity in wnich the
presem political whirlpool in your country has
plunged you, I deem myself called upon "to In
vite ycu take up your residence in this country,
where yojj :nay in peace continue your favorite
and usetui occupations.
Your position here will be a perfectly indepen
dent ens. Yot will be bouncl by no conditions
or engagements, and you will always be at liber
to steer home across the ocean, in the event of
your not preferring to cast anchor in our remote
corner of the Baltic.
As regards your material welfare, I beg to as
sure you that everything will be done by me to
mnke your new home comfortable and agreeable,
whilst at the same time the necessary means will
be offered you to enable you to continue your
scientific pursuits in the way you have been ac
customed to.
I shall now be awaiting your reply, hoping" to
have the pleasure of soon seeing here so distin
guished an officer, whose personal . acquaintance
it has always been my desire to make, and whom
Russia will be proud to welcome on her soil.
Believe me, my dear Captain Maury, your
sincere well-wisher, CON STAN TIN E,
Grand Admiral of Russia.
Richmond, Va 29th Oct.,'18Gl.
Admiral: Your letter reached me only a few
days ago. It fills me with emotions.
In it I am offered the hospitalities of a great
and powerful Empire, with tho Grand Admiral
of its fleets for patron and friend. Inducements
arejneld out such as none but tbe most magnani
mous of Princes could offer, and such as nothing
but a stern sense of duty may withstand.
A home in the bosom of my family on the
banks of the Neva, where, in the midst of books,
and surrounded by friends, I am, without care for
tbe morrow, to have tbe most princely metins
and facilities for prosecuting those studies and
continuing those philosophical labors in which I
take most delight. All the advantages that I
enjoyed in Washington, are, with a larger dis
cretion, to be offered me in Russia.
Surely a more flattering invitation could not
be uttered. Certainly it could not reach a more
grateful heart. I have slept upon it. It is be
coming that I should be candid, and, in
words, frankly state the circumstances by
I find myself surrounded.
The State of Virginia gave me birth
a few
which
within
her borders; among many friends, the nearest of
kin, and troops of excellent neighbors, ray chil
dren are planting their vine and fig trees ; in her
green bosom are the graves of my fathers ; the
political whirlpool from which your kind fore
though sought to rescue me has already drawn
hor into a fiercu and bloody war.
In 1788, when this State accepted the Federal
Constitution and entered the American Union,
the did so with the formal declaration that she re
served to herself the right to withdraw from it for
cause, and resume those powers and attributes of
sovereignty which she had never ceded away, but
only "delegated" for certain definite and specified
purposes.
When the Presiden t .elect commenced to set at
naught the very objects of the Constitution, and
without authority of law, proceeded to issue his
proclamation of 15th of April last, Virgin
ia, in the exereise of that reserved r?ght, deci
ded that the time had come when her safety, her
dignity and honor required her to resume those
'delegated" powers and withdraw from the
Union. She did so. She then straiehtwav call
ed upon her sons in the Federal service to retire
therefrom and come to her relief.
This call found me in the midst of those quiet
physical researches at the Observatory in Wash
ington, which I am now, with so much delicacy
of thought and gooduess of heart, invited to re
sume in Russia. Having been broagbt op in the
school ot otate-Kignts, where we had for masters
tbe greatest statesmen of America, and among
them Mr. .Madison, tne wisest of them all,
could not, and did not hesitate. I recognized
this call, considered it mandatory, and" formally
renouncing all allegiance to the broken union,
hastened over to the south side of the Potomac,
there to renew to fatherland these vows of fealty,
service, And devotion which the State of Virginia
bad permitted me to pledge to the Federal Union,
so long only as by serving it, I might serve her,
Thus my sord has been tendered in her cause,
and the tender has been accented. Her soil is
is invaded, the enemy is actually at her gates, and
here I am, contending, as the fathers of the Re
public did, for the right of self-government and
those very principles for the maintenance of
which Washington fought, when this, his native
State, was a colony of Oreat Britian.
The path of duty and honor is therefore plain.
By following it with the devotion and loyalty of
a true sailor, I shall, I am persuaded, nave the
glorious and proud Tecompense' that is contained
in the "well-done" of the Grand Admiral of Bus-'
sia and his noble "companions in arms." '
When the invader is expelled, and as soon there
arter as tne state win grant me leave, 1 promise
myself the pleasure of a trip across the Atlantic,
and snail Danea to Kussia, that 1 may there - in
person, on tbe banks ? of the Neva, have - the
honor and measure of expressing to her Grand
Admiral the sentiments of respect and esteem
with which his oft repeated acts of kindness
and the generous encouragements that be has
afforded me in the pursuits of science has inspired

PRANCE AND THE AMERICAN BLOCK
ADE THE SALE OF LOUISIANA.
i From tbe Londoa Money Review. t ,
'; A very singular rumor has been in circulation
during tbe last few days, via : that Prance claime
for herself tbe free navigation of the Mississippi,
under the original treaty for the sale of Louisiana
by France to the United States in 1803.
We know the question has been raised in France
as to whether that country has not acquired, un
der the treaty above quoted, special privilegei as
regards tree access to the American ports, and it
is by no nexus impossible that a monarch of so
strong a will as Napoleon III may yet, in fur
therance of the objects which be is understood to
cherish, have something to say to, the Northern
Sta es, even, in respect of to old a parchment aa
that above quoted. . His Majesty is a great stick
ler for the sanctity of treaties when they suit
hire. '
Before quitting the subject, we may remark
that it is net at all cler, according to the law of
nations, that tbe Northern States, seeing that they
do not treat the seceding States as belligerent,
but as rebek,have the right to exclude foreign ves
sels from any port of the United States, whether in
the North or in the South, so long as those vessels
abstain from carrying contraband of war.
PARTICULARS OF THE BURSTING OF A
CANNON AT COLUMBU 3 TERRIFIC
EXPLOSION.
Mention has already been made of the bursting
of a Dahlgren gun a few days since at Columbus i
Ky., soon after the battle near that place. The
following description from the Columbus corres
pondent of the New Orleans Picayune we extract
for our columns, it being the most interesting ac
count we have yet seen :
A most shocking and unfortunate acci
dent happened just now, which has caet
a depressing gloom over the whole army at this
point. Tbe 128- pounder rifle gun, mounsed on
a pivot inside of a circle elevation, exploded with
a terrible crash, which could be heard for many
miles. A great loss of ltfe was sustained, and
many persons mangled and wounded in the
most tragic manner. Among the killed is
Capt. Kciter, one of the best artillerists
in the army, and whose daath is a misfortune at
this trying juncture. Lieiit. Snowden is also
among the killed. I counted five dead bodies on
the spot,horribly mangled, while several were bad
ly, and others but slightly, wounded. Limbs,
pieces of skull, oozing, brains, were scattered all
about, and presented atiever to be forgotten sight.
Gen. Polk was close to the gun, but was not hurt,
which is certsinly providential. The General was
terribly shocked, and had his cloihes torn in shreds
mdhis face burned somewhat.but withotilinjuring
mm externally or internally. Ihe rumor was at the
moment that he and Gen. McCown were among
the killed, aud trreat v is the excitement among
the soldiers. Several of i1 aunners must have
been buried ineidd of the elevation, under the
fragments and ruins of the once beautiful and val
uable gun. There is no doubt but that some must
have been thrown in the river, as tbe gun was
mounted almost at tbe edge of the bluff, whore,
from its highest elevation, it commanded the op
posite Missouri shore for several miles. The gun
was the pride of the army, and the terror of the
gun boats, and its value was tested in the late
battle, when it played at the eun boats, and dis
persed the advancing column of the enemy.
The life of a patriot soldier is never lost. It
blooms again beyond the grave, in a land where
winter never comes, and suffering is unknown.
Hanging arouad the throne of sapphire and gold
a rich garland awaits the coming of him who
has died for his country ; and when the Eternal
Hand has dropped it ou his brow, Justice hands
the record of his life to Mercy, and turns away
until a'l that is black and all that is sinful ireras-
