Thiess arc the Peninsula eaf Alaska snd the sirbipelsgses known as (««-orge lil. ami Prince of Wales, rather peculiar names for a aeries «>f islands forming part of UM poaeeSSlOUS »f the Russian Bear. It is notifiable, host ever,that the Russians know tile islands hy other Beames, sad the one named George III. by Van¬ couver, form i na pint of the archipelago generally known hy tlM name of that monarch, is by them call««d Harnuov. Tnese islands uro formed by inlets of the ocean, ami are more- properly a narrow strip of land «-xteuiling for nearly ino miles along the «mast of the Pacific, broken by narrow causeways ami amis of the sea extcmLng in every direc¬ tion. The principal settlements are in these Islands, the largest town la-iiia New Al» liana,-»!, ou the Inland of Sitka, which has u population of only i.ono.

Inferior In altitude. The part .»f the mainland'south of Mt. St. hila«,ono of the vi lciiulc peaks Infore referred to, ami the loftCSt summit on the continent, Is nowhere more than 33 miles wide. The islands and coast*, of the mainland have generally been well explored, but the liiterlor of the country, which looms up protniiu-ntly on the map, is almost entirely un¬ known. Tin-estimated area ««f the whole buntory Is about 394,1.00 s»(iiare miles. It has an as Singe length aud breadth of «100 miles. The longest linee tli.it can be el»,..vu aere.M the country, from CapePriassSof Waleeon Kchnngs Straits through tue narrosv strip bordering on British Columbia and the Pacific (K'«au,to the extreme southern polnt of the Russian possessions, is 1,600 milos. But It will be seen from |lta average length ami breadth that the mass of the.ce.untry Is tolerably compact. From sev¬ eral expeditions that have been pn»Ject««d into the inte rlor, it se-ams that the western part ol tlie territory is ele¬ vated and uneven, while the part extending along the Arctic Ocean Is generally flat. The north coast waa dis¬ covered early In the present century, ('apt. Cook having frevlously, as early us 1778, penetrated as far north as ey Cape. In It«« Capt. Beechv reached Point Barrow, and at the same time the lamented Sir John Franklin, th. n Capt. Franklin, traced the coast from the mouth of tim Mackeuzie Klvor to Return Reef. The population e,f Russian America ia about «0.000, of whom at least tVi.OUO aro Enq uimaux. Tlie remaining portion of the inhabitants are Russians, Creoles, Kodiaks and Aleoots. The principal pursuits and chief de-pt-inl» nee of the Inhabitants are the fisheries and fur hunting Lit¬ tle attention is glveu to agricultural pursuits; but to view this vast territory aa wholly forbidding and barren Is to fall Into a grave error. For, its shores being washed by the warm Pacific atreuni, which «weeps up from the China Sea aud breaks near the extreme north-west polut ol the conti uent, ita atmesphere is toned down t<> the salubrity of i>oint« on the Atlantic coast which are many degrees fur¬ ther from tim pole. Far Inland there In a region of almost perpetual snow ; but on the coast, and as far inland aa the breetoa from off the China Boa current may reach and modify the rigor« of the rJimatc, the land is fruitful and the country inviting. The fur product of the country ha« for many yeera been made a monopoly by the Russian Government, but the United State«? and lireat Britain succeeded ia obtaining a lease for the territory from 80° W north latitude to U, and the exclusive privilege of supplying the Knsalane with agricultural produce and pruvisloua waa granted to the Hudson's Bay Company. The monopoly of the other territory remains with the Russian American Couipauy. It la noticeable that, by the treaties with the United BUtes and (¿rent Brltalu m*te In tiru, the late Ruaaiau possessions oomprshend sll tho American coast of tho Pacific, and the atljacent islauds north of ths parallel of St to north latitude, and the whole of the mainland west of the meridian of 1110 weat lonaitueh», which passes through Mount «St. Ella«. This boundary treaty wa« accepted aud made binding «o long ago m 1834. EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS. r*a at niMiiri va vaa rair-csa.

Dkab tim : You have done mc the honor to call for ni/ ojuuioii relative to the action of the rk»uth under the Military lull. Having seldom taken any part lu politic«, I do not feel well «piaUfied to advise ou «o momentous a question; ueverth. less, as the same desire to obtain my views has been manifested from »anous quarters. I shall not shrink from the responsibility of expressing them, in the hope that they niav tend to compose the public mind, so Justly alarmed at this moment. In my bumble opinion we have but one of two things to do.resint or submit. The first is inadmissible In our painfully e\hatute«l «oou-dl- tion. Four years of a desperate war have taught us that the argument of the sword can no louder be resorted by u-t to redress our grievances. We must, tbertft-re, submit, but with that calm dignity becoming our man¬ hood und lost Independence. Having been ovcrpowre.l m the hit«« struggle we can submit to the harsh aud un¬ generous tenus of our couquerors without dishonor, and we must adopt the least of two evils. A futile resistance would only cause our rivets to be driven closer. We must, then, acquiesce or leave the country. But love too dearly the land of our birth to abandou it in ita hour of sorest triaL We should avoid, also, brin«ging it. by Internal dissensions, to the condition of poor Mexico and the unfortunate South American republics. With n-gard to the suffrage of the freednien, how eve» objectionable it may be present it U au element of stn«ngf h for the future; if properly handled and directed we shall defeat our adversaries with their own weapon. Tho negro ia Southern born ; with a little education and some property qualifications he can be made to take suf¬ ficient interest in the affaire and prosperity of the South to iusure an intelligent vote. In our future political con¬ tests with the North on protective tariff, Internal im¬ provements, Ac., the freedmen of the South will side with the whltesof the South and Weet, and they will thus contribute to give us back the influence w-e formerly had in the coun¬ cils of the nation. Our people should understand that the radicals can remain in power only so long aa the pub¬ lic excitement is kept up. As with the turbid water» ox the Mississippi River, the sedimentary particle« are kept up at the surface, only so long as the waters are in mo¬ tion, the Instant the current Is checked these particles fall to the bottom. Thus it will bo with the radicals when peace aud virtue are reatored to the country. The conser¬ vatives will then take the relus In their own hands, and the constitutional laws of the land will once more pre valL Respectfully. G- T. Beaureoasd. ¦ « m ALABAMA.

What weKan» to do is to give every one who is worthy of it a,k *T*Pt" "n thv' go'ernment of the country by means oflae elective franchise; but, at the same tim«, we haveaj-en equally anxious to maintain the character of theriouaie, to amke propositions lu harmony with the circiui»-~~aee« ef the country, bo prevent a preponderance of__,j cuma, aad to give a représentation io toe nation.

St. hila«,ono of thevi lciiulc peaks Infore referred to, ami the loftCSt summiton the continent, Is nowhere more than 33 miles wide.The islands and coast*, of the mainland have generallybeen well explored, but the liiterlor of the country, whichlooms up protniiu-ntly on the map, is almost entirely un¬

known. Tin-estimated area ««f the whole buntory Is

about 394,1.00 s»(iiare miles. It has an as Singe length audbreadth of «100 miles. The longest linee tli.it can be el»,..vuaere.M the country, from CapePriassSof Waleeon KchnngsStraits through tue narrosv strip bordering on BritishColumbia and the Pacific (K'«au,to the extreme southernpolnt of the Russian possessions, is 1,600 milos. But Itwill be seen from |lta average length ami breadth thatthe mass of the.ce.untry Is tolerably compact. From sev¬

eral expeditions that have been pn»Ject««d into the interlor, it se-ams that the western part ol tlie territory is ele¬vated and uneven, while the part extending along theArctic Ocean Is generally flat. The north coast waa dis¬covered early In the present century, ('apt. Cook having

frevlously, as early us 1778, penetrated as far north as

ey Cape. In It«« Capt. Beechv reached Point Barrow,and at the same time the lamented Sir John Franklin,th. n Capt. Franklin, traced the coast from the mouth of

tim Mackeuzie Klvor to Return Reef.The population e,f Russian America ia about «0.000, of

whom at least tVi.OUO aro Enq uimaux. Tlie remainingportion of the inhabitants are Russians, Creoles, Kodiaksand Aleoots. The principal pursuits and chief de-pt-inl» neeof the Inhabitants are the fisheries and fur hunting Lit¬tle attention is glveu to agricultural pursuits; but to viewthis vast territory aa wholly forbidding and barren Is to fallInto a grave error. For, its shores being washed by thewarm Pacific atreuni, which «weeps up from the China Seaaud breaks near the extreme north-west polut ol the contiuent, ita atmesphere is toned down t<> the salubrity ofi>oint« on the Atlantic coast which are many degrees fur¬ther from tim pole. Far Inland there In a region of almostperpetual snow ; but on the coast, and as far inland aa thebreetoa from off the China Boa current may reach andmodify the rigor« of the rJimatc, the land is fruitful andthe country inviting.The fur product of the country ha« for many yeera been

made a monopoly by the Russian Government, but theUnited State«? and lireat Britain succeeded ia obtaining a

lease for the territory from 80° W north latitude to M° U,and the exclusive privilege of supplying the Knsalanewith agricultural produce and pruvisloua waa granted tothe Hudson's Bay Company. The monopoly ofthe otherterritory remains with the Russian American Couipauy.

It la noticeable that, by the treaties with the UnitedBUtes and (¿rent Brltalu m*te In tiru, the late Ruaaiaupossessions oomprshend sll tho American coast of thoPacific, and the atljacent islauds north of ths parallel ofSt to north latitude, and the whole of the mainland west

New Orleans. March 03, MST.Dkab tim : You have done mc the honor to call for ni/

ojuuioii relative to the action of the rk»uth under theMilitary lull. Having seldom taken any part lu politic«,I do not feel well «piaUfied to advise ou «o momentous aquestion; ueverth. less, as the same desire to obtain myviews has been manifested from »anous quarters. I shallnot shrink from the responsibility of expressing them, inthe hope that they niav tend to compose the public mind,so Justly alarmed at this moment. In my bumble opinionwe have but one of two things to do.resint or submit.The first is inadmissible In our painfully e\hatute«l «oou-dl-tion. Four years of a desperate war have taught us thatthe argument of the sword can no louder be resorted t«by u-t to redress our grievances. We must, tbertft-re,submit, but with that calm dignity becoming our man¬hood und lost Independence. Having been ovcrpowre.lm the hit«« struggle we can submit to the harsh aud un¬

generous tenus of our couquerors without dishonor, andwe must adopt the least of two evils. A futile resistancewould only cause our rivets to be driven closer.We must, then, acquiesce or leave the country. But w«

love too dearly the land of our birth to abandou it in ita

hour of sorest triaL We should avoid, also, brin«ging it.by Internal dissensions, to the condition of poor Mexicoand the unfortunate South American republics.With n-gard to the suffrage of the freednien, how eve»

objectionable it may be a» present it U au element ofstn«ngf h for the future; if properly handled and directedwe shall defeat our adversaries with their own weapon.Tho negro ia Southern born ; with a little education andsome property qualifications he can be made to take suf¬ficient interest in the affaire and prosperity of the Southto iusure an intelligent vote. In our future political con¬tests with the North on protective tariff, Internal im¬provements, Ac., the freedmen of the Southwill side with the whltesof the South and Weet,and they will thus contribute to give us backthe influence w-e formerly had in the coun¬

cils of the nation. Our people should understand thatthe radicals can remain in power only so long aa the pub¬lic excitement is kept up. As with the turbid water» ox

the Mississippi River, the sedimentary particle« are keptup at the surface, only so long as the waters are in mo¬tion, the Instant the current Is checked these particlesfall to the bottom. Thus it will bo with the radicals whenpeace aud virtue are reatored to the country.
