Seven duels, on paper, have occurred, but they were settled without bloodshed. New Archangel, Oct. 8, via Swinomish, W. T., Nov. 11. The formal transfer and delivery of Rus sian America to the United States Government took place to-day by Captain Pest, richoff, Acting Commissioner on behalf of the Russian Government, and Major General Rousseau, at 3 P. M. A battalion of United States troops, under command of Major Chas, O. Wood, Oth Infantry, was drawn up in front of the Governor's residence. By half past three a large concourse assembled, comprising Americans, Russians, Creoles and Indians. At the last named hour the Russians forts and fleet fired a salute in honor of the lowering of the Russian flag, but the flag would not come down. In lowering it the entire width was torn close by the halyards, and it floated from the cross trees, forty feet from the ground. Three Russian sailors attempted to ascend the inch and a half guy-rope supporting the flag staff, but each failed. A fourth one ascended in the boatswain's chair, seized the Hag and threw it in the direction directly beneath him. But the motion of the wind carried It oil'. Five minutes after lowering the Russian flag the Stars and Stripes went gracefully up, Mr. George Lowell Rousseau having the honor of flying the flag to the breeze, the United States steamers Ussippce and Resaca at the same time honoring the event by firing salute. As the Russian flag was lowered Capt. Pestrechofl' stepped forward and addressed Gen. Rousseau as follows : General As Commissioner of his Impe rial Majesty, the Emperor of Russia, I now transfer and deliver the territory of Russian-America, ceded by his Majesty, to the United States. Gen. Rousseau, in response, as the Ameri can flag ascended, said : Captain As Commissioner on behalf of the United States Government, I receive and accept tlHHwme accordingly. - The Commissioner spoke in a tone of common conversation, and was only heard by Gov. iMakcstatoir, Gen. Jeff. O. Davis, Capt. Kuskal, and a few others who formed the group, Several ladles witnessed the ceremonies, among them the Princess Makes- tatoff, Mrs. General Davis, and Mrs. Major Wood. The Princess wept audibly as the Russian flag went down. I he transfer was conducted In a purely di plomatic and business-like manner, and the entire transaction was concluded In a few hours. The Osscppeu, with the Commission ers aboard, was steamiug Into the harbor at llo clock A.M., and at 4 o clock i M. a dozen American flags float over the newly born American city of Sitka. New Archangel, Nov. 3. The Russian Commissioners have protest ed against the occupancy of the Fur Com panies ouiunogsDy me mtuMi ruaies troops. By courtesy, the troops are now sheltered and the supplies stored. The matter will be referred to Mr. Seward.

The Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad earnings during the first week of November, 1807, amounted to the sum of $30,391, which is an excess of $7,825 over the corresponding week of last year. The Scioto Gazette says a grey eagle, measuring seven feet and eight inches from tip to tip, was shot near Chillicothc a few days ago. The representative of American honor ami greatness had alighted on a dead horse. The Dayton Journal says that despite the fears of the people, the corn crop Is more than "fair to middling" throughout the Mi ami Valley. There never was a season when corn was so thoroughly grown, and. sound, as it is this fall. The Sandusky Register says : On Friday last a man named Converse, from somewhere in Lorain county, sold cheese to several fam ilies between this city and Huron. The parties who obtained the cheese, partook of It as usual, and iu every case were made violently sick ; several of the children dangerously so, but none have died so far as heard from. Our informant says three or four cheeses were disposed of in this city. The Summit Beacon describes a Methodist church building, now being erected In Akron, which will probably be the largest building of the kind In the State. The Beacon says -. The new edifice will be 159 feet long, and 08 feet wide. The main audience room will be 100 feet long and 50 feet wide, having comfortable sitting-room for 900 persons. Instead of the old-fashioned gallery for the choir in the frout of the church, the choir und organ will be in the rear of the pulpit. The celling will be a plain pitch, frescoed after designs by the architects. The furniture of the church comprises all the modern improvements. The Sunday-School room Is to be an oval, with a projection In rear of the church, with a capacity for 000 children. In the centre of this room beautiful fountain is to be placed as an or nament. Adjoining this Sunday School room there are ten rooms, five opening Into it in the basement floor, and five upon a gal lery. The doors are so constructed that they can be thrown open, making the whole one room. Adjoining this room, on cither side, Is parlor, with kitchen and dressing room, provided far tea parties, festivals or fairs. The church is to be built of brick, with stoue fa cings. The entrance to the church will be doors in the towers. A magnificent steeple rises from one of these towers the height of 224 feet. The height the other tower is 132 feet. Between these is an ornamented able, surmounted with a splendid cross. The church is heated by four portable fur naces, placed in the sub-basement. The whole finish of,thls magnificent building will be In the highest style of art. The windows will be of stained glass, and the frescoing, both in the upper and lower rooms, will be done by one of the most skillful artists In the country. The trustees have a large force of skillful workmen employed, and expect to get the basement of the structure up before winter. The church will probably be ready for occupancy by Novemler next. The building will stand upon the highest spot of ground in Summit county. Something New about the Dklikik. The London Bookseller makes the following announcement of a literary novelty : "To be sold by private contract, the copyright of work, In manuscript, entitled the 'Tower of Babel Discovered and the Deluge Explained the substance of which Is contained In about three hundred and fifty foolscap quarto pages, The author and compiler asserts that he has made one of the most Important discoveries of the present age, namely, that or demon stratlng the Identity of the Great Pyramid of Egypt with the Biblical Tower of Babel aud proving, by conclusive evidence, that tne Mosaic Deluge was a local noou, produced by the bursting of an ancient African lake, the remains of which lie points out, and also Indicates In detail the cause of the great catastrophe. For the Ohio State Journal.) "WE ARE MARCHING ALONG." The "irrepressible conflict," wherein Ignor ance, armed with the various weapons of wickedness, and backed by superstition, wages war against intelligence, armed with honesty, and clad in the hamuments of vlr tue, and which began when first the "Lord God called unto .Adam, saylug where art thou," has not yet terminated the opinion of the Democratic press or unio to tne con trary notwithstanding. That "consummation so devoutly to l)e wished' Is the goal toward which pro gresslve men to-day are tending. until men, mere can oe no qnesiion as to the proper position of good men, socially, morally, politically, tne world over. Battles must be fought, defeats endured. victories achieved. Error must succumb. Truth must be vin dicated. Right must triumph. The Republican party arrogates no little when it claims to be the champion of lutelli genee and progress, as It I of freedom and patriotism in mcsc Mates. ueaten into me by tne blows ol tyranny, It became tne champion of the oppressed Mobbed lu its youth by the Ignorant minions of the slave power, It became the patron of Intelligence. Fettered and shackled by that weak subterfuge of cowardice, Conservatism, It became the organ through which the progressive voice of the nation spoke, and finally In its manhood, assaulted by treason, aud stabbed by the handtif the assassin, Its name became the rallying cry of loyal men from ammo to caiirornla. And shall we rest herer Nay, verily ! To day tho wheels of the "Car of Progress" need lubricating. Tho glorious old chariot Is well nigh mired in the slonnh of Democracy. Shall wo stand by and see It sink In Hint Inglorious cesspool V To the rescue 1 You who have seen four million slaves ride up to freedom on thu chariot to the rescue I You who have seen these western wilder. nessos toll, and schools and churches rise td the rescue I You who have seen the dark night of Ig norance, followed by the the bright morning of Intelligence to me rescner "The Gods help those who help them selves." It ns put our shoolders to the wheels and start them rmng, and our ehll dren will keep the Dal I rolling on forever SPIRIT OF THE OHIO PRESS. i From the Banduaky Daily Register, r CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE AND THE NA TIONAL BANKS. We frequently hear it said that Chief Jus tice Chase is "Identified with the National . Banks and therefore," Scc, &c. Judge Chase Is "Identified" with the National Banking system to this extent and no farther, that he founded tne system in lbud, and, as Secretary of the Treasury, controlled its operations, . uuuer vne laws oi congress, miring tne first three years of its existence. With the close , of Judge Chase's term as Secretary, his offl-clal relations with the National Banks ended; and other than olllcial relations with them he has never had. Do the people understand what reasons led , Judge Chase, when acting as financial head , of the nation, to devise, and put in operation, the present National Banking system? Those who do not know that his action was the . result of a financial necessity which was imperative, a national need which was appalling, and that the result of his action was im mediate and timely relief to our bankrupt treasury, and through that to our unpaid armies in the field those who do not know . these facts have overlooked one of the lead- , ing features of our recent struggle. Wheu Judge Chase first urged upon Congress the passage of the National Banking Act he found few to second lis efforts, but, pressed by a great responsibility, and exercising a statesmanlike forecast for which history at least will give him due credit, he la- .. bored on until he converted a majority of , congress 10 nis views, and the .National Banking system was inaugurated. Every other means for raising the needed funds to , carry on the war havitijt failed, the then Sec- . retary had promised Congress that If they . would adopt this ineasnre he would be responsible that money was forthcoming. The result more than justified his confident predictions. Three hundred millions of bauk capital was poured into the empty treasury at a most critical period ol the war ; the com paratively irresponsible banking Institutions and the unsecured currency of the States were together swept out of existence ; a uniform and perfectly secured currency was glv-en to the country, aud more than a thousaid , efficient and responsible agencies were estab lished In all parts of the land, which aided very materially in the negotiation and ap-sorptlon of future government loans. The finances of the nation were changed from chaos into order; from weakness into strength; from Insecurity into soundness and safety. Such were the immediate fruits of Judge . Chase's "Identification with the National Banks." It is not expected that patriotic service to the country, performed in connection with its financial interests, however distinguished may be the ability shown, however disinterested the spirit manifested, and however beneficial the results will beget a great degree of enthusiasm toward the person rendering that service ; but It certainly is not too much to expect of the American people that they will at least refrain from misrepresent- , ing a public servant to whose profound statesmanship, aid faithful devotion, they are Indebted more than they know for the success of their efforts in suppressing the rebellion. Nothing could exceed in injustice, ingrati tude, unreasonableness and untruthfulness ! the charge, so persistently made, that Judge , Chase was actuated partly by personal motives In originating and organizing the noble system of finance which has proved and Is proving such a blessing to this nation. The suggestion that the late Secretary of the Treasury, In devising his great financial re- lorm, sought to put himself into such a relation with the combined capital -of the country as that he might profit by It politically In the present or future, has not even the merit of plausibility, for statesmen, (and demagogues, even,) whose leading aim is to secure preferment and promotion through the good will of the people, would not for the world even seem to Identify themselves with capital as distinguished from the other Interests of the country. The tendency Is always aud strongly In the opposite direction often even hurtfully so. Aside from this, (which of itself ought 1 1 be conclusive) Is the fact that the very nature or the national bank organization Is such that it is simply impossible to use It as a political engine In the service of anybody and this Is one oi tne chier excellences of the system. There are probably not half a dozen banks In me country which have not both Democrats and Republicans among their officers, directors or stockholders; and If any attempt were made to nse the banks In the Interest of any man or party, the bank men of the oppo site party would be prompt to discover, expose and thwart the undertaking. And this reatu re or the national system Is not only approved by Judge Chase, but Is the direct re sult of his foresight and deslgu. Etiquette at the Parisian Court. A court lady, the Countess dc Bassauvllle, has puniisnca a oook telling people who go to court, how to walk, talk, and behave themselves. When the Emperor and Empress receive you, you are, when your name is called, to get up from tho sent on which you havo been sitting In an outer room, go to the door of the saloon lu which their niakstles arc, anil bow most profoundly; then you make a few stens and bow niraln. eutiullv profoundly ; then you go up to their majesties and bow once more, still more profoundly. Then you stand bolt upright, and wait respectfully until you are spoken to. You musi sayies or no, sire. If tho biniK-ror, speaks to you ; "Yes or no, madame," It It bo the Empress. You must not say "Yes, jour majesty," or "No, your majesty,'" for that Is contrary to ctl(Uctte. Yoii must always ad orer the Etnteror In the third person, ti.ns : "Does his Majesty design to permit nie such' a thing r "Docs his aiajcwty do me tho honor to accord me," &c. If you have any one to present, you must not say "I have the honor to present to your Miijestv ," but "1 have the honor to prei in, to the Emperor." Finally, you nre to get out of the august piescu'ee with the siunc number of bows ns you got Into It; aud as you go backwards you must take care not to tumble down.

The formal transfer and delivery of Rus sian America to the United States Government took place to-day by Captain Pest, richoff, Acting Commissioner on behalf of the Russian Government, and Major General Rousseau, at 3 P. M. A battalion of United States troops, under command of Major Chas, O. Wood, Oth Infantry, was drawn up in front of the Governor's residence. By half past three a large concourse assembled, comprising Americans, Russians, Creoles and Indians. At the last named hour the Russians forts and fleet fired a salute in honor of the lowering of the Russian flag, but the flag would not come down. In lowering it the entire width was torn close by the halyards, and it floated from the cross trees, forty feet from the ground. Three Russian sailors attempted to ascend the inch and a half guy-rope supporting the flag staff, but each failed. A fourth one ascended in the boatswain's chair, seized the Hag and threw it in the direction directly beneath him. But the motion of the wind carried It oil'. Five minutes after lowering the Russian flag the Stars and Stripes went gracefully up, Mr. George Lowell Rousseau having the honor of flying the flag to the breeze, the United States steamers Ussippce and Resaca at the same time honoring the event by firing salute. As the Russian flag was lowered Capt. Pestrechofl' stepped forward and addressed Gen. Rousseau as follows : General As Commissioner of his Impe rial Majesty, the Emperor of Russia, I now transfer and deliver the territory of Russian-America, ceded by his Majesty, to the United States. Gen. Rousseau, in response, as the Ameri can flag ascended, said : Captain As Commissioner on behalf of the United States Government, I receive and accept tlHHwme accordingly. - The Commissioner spoke in a tone of common conversation, and was only heard by Gov. iMakcstatoir, Gen. Jeff. O. Davis, Capt. Kuskal, and a few others who formed the group, Several ladles witnessed the ceremonies, among them the Princess Makes- tatoff, Mrs. General Davis, and Mrs. Major Wood. The Princess wept audibly as the Russian flag went down. I he transfer was conducted In a purely di plomatic and business-like manner, and the entire transaction was concluded In a few hours. The Osscppeu, with the Commission ers aboard, was steamiug Into the harbor at llo clock A.M., and at 4 o clock i M. a dozen American flags float over the newly born American city of Sitka.

The Summit Beacon describes a Methodist church building, now being erected In Akron, which will probably be the largest building of the kind In the State. The Beacon says -. The new edifice will be 159 feet long, and 08 feet wide. The main audience room will be 100 feet long and 50 feet wide, having comfortable sitting-room for 900 persons. Instead of the old-fashioned gallery for the choir in the frout of the church, the choir und organ will be in the rear of the pulpit. The celling will be a plain pitch, frescoed after designs by the architects. The furniture of the church comprises all the modern improvements. The Sunday-School room Is to be an oval, with a projection In rear of the church, with a capacity for 000 children. In the centre of this room beautiful fountain is to be placed as an or nament. Adjoining this Sunday School room there are ten rooms, five opening Into it in the basement floor, and five upon a gal lery. The doors are so constructed that they can be thrown open, making the whole one room. Adjoining this room, on cither side, Is parlor, with kitchen and dressing room, provided far tea parties, festivals or fairs. The church is to be built of brick, with stoue fa cings. The entrance to the church will be doors in the towers. A magnificent steeple rises from one of these towers the height of 224 feet. The height the other tower is 132 feet. Between these is an ornamented able, surmounted with a splendid cross. The church is heated by four portable fur naces, placed in the sub-basement. The whole finish of,thls magnificent building will be In the highest style of art. The windows will be of stained glass, and the frescoing, both in the upper and lower rooms, will be done by one of the most skillful artists In the country. The trustees have a large force of skillful workmen employed, and expect to get the basement of the structure up before winter. The church will probably be ready for occupancy by Novemler next. The building will stand upon the highest spot of ground in Summit county. Something New about the Dklikik.

We frequently hear it said that Chief Jus tice Chase is "Identified with the National . Banks and therefore," Scc, &c. Judge Chase Is "Identified" with the National Banking system to this extent and no farther, that he founded tne system in lbud, and, as Secretary of the Treasury, controlled its operations, . uuuer vne laws oi congress, miring tne first three years of its existence. With the close , of Judge Chase's term as Secretary, his offl-clal relations with the National Banks ended; and other than olllcial relations with them he has never had. Do the people understand what reasons led , Judge Chase, when acting as financial head , of the nation, to devise, and put in operation, the present National Banking system? Those who do not know that his action was the . result of a financial necessity which was imperative, a national need which was appalling, and that the result of his action was im mediate and timely relief to our bankrupt treasury, and through that to our unpaid armies in the field those who do not know . these facts have overlooked one of the lead- , ing features of our recent struggle. Wheu Judge Chase first urged upon Congress the passage of the National Banking Act he found few to second lis efforts, but, pressed by a great responsibility, and exercising a statesmanlike forecast for which history at least will give him due credit, he la- .. bored on until he converted a majority of , congress 10 nis views, and the .National Banking system was inaugurated. Every other means for raising the needed funds to , carry on the war havitijt failed, the then Sec- . retary had promised Congress that If they . would adopt this ineasnre he would be responsible that money was forthcoming. The result more than justified his confident predictions. Three hundred millions of bauk capital was poured into the empty treasury at a most critical period ol the war ; the com paratively irresponsible banking Institutions and the unsecured currency of the States were together swept out of existence ; a uniform and perfectly secured currency was glv-en to the country, aud more than a thousaid , efficient and responsible agencies were estab lished In all parts of the land, which aided very materially in the negotiation and ap-sorptlon of future government loans. The finances of the nation were changed from chaos into order; from weakness into strength; from Insecurity into soundness and safety. Such were the immediate fruits of Judge . Chase's "Identification with the National Banks." It is not expected that patriotic service to the country, performed in connection with its financial interests, however distinguished may be the ability shown, however disinterested the spirit manifested, and however beneficial the results will beget a great degree of enthusiasm toward the person rendering that service ; but It certainly is not too much to expect of the American people that they will at least refrain from misrepresent- , ing a public servant to whose profound statesmanship, aid faithful devotion, they are Indebted more than they know for the success of their efforts in suppressing the rebellion. Nothing could exceed in injustice, ingrati tude, unreasonableness and untruthfulness ! the charge, so persistently made, that Judge , Chase was actuated partly by personal motives In originating and organizing the noble system of finance which has proved and Is proving such a blessing to this nation. The suggestion that the late Secretary of the Treasury, In devising his great financial re- lorm, sought to put himself into such a relation with the combined capital -of the country as that he might profit by It politically In the present or future, has not even the merit of plausibility, for statesmen, (and demagogues, even,) whose leading aim is to secure preferment and promotion through the good will of the people, would not for the world even seem to Identify themselves with capital as distinguished from the other Interests of the country. The tendency Is always aud strongly In the opposite direction often even hurtfully so. Aside from this, (which of itself ought 1 1 be conclusive) Is the fact that the very nature or the national bank organization Is such that it is simply impossible to use It as a political engine In the service of anybody and this Is one oi tne chier excellences of the system. There are probably not half a dozen banks In me country which have not both Democrats and Republicans among their officers, directors or stockholders; and If any attempt were made to nse the banks In the Interest of any man or party, the bank men of the oppo site party would be prompt to discover, expose and thwart the undertaking. And this reatu re or the national system Is not only approved by Judge Chase, but Is the direct re sult of his foresight and deslgu. Etiquette at the Parisian Court. A court lady, the Countess dc Bassauvllle, has puniisnca a oook telling people who go to court, how to walk, talk, and behave themselves. When the Emperor and Empress receive you, you are, when your name is called, to get up from tho sent on which you havo been sitting In an outer room, go to the door of the saloon lu which their niakstles arc, anil bow most profoundly; then you make a few stens and bow niraln. eutiullv profoundly ; then you go up to their majesties and bow once more, still more profoundly. Then you stand bolt upright, and wait respectfully until you are spoken to. You musi sayies or no, sire. If tho biniK-ror, speaks to you ; "Yes or no, madame," It It bo the Empress. You must not say "Yes, jour majesty," or "No, your majesty,'" for that Is contrary to ctl(Uctte.
