From that gentleman as well as the excel ) en t President. Thomas M. Howe, Esq., we4iave learned some facts in relation- to the Cemetery, which we think will prove interesting and accept- able to most of our readers.- - The Cemetery grounds are situated a short dis tance beyond the U. S.- Arsenal, about two and v a half miles from Pittsburgh./The enclosure con tains 110 acres of land, which was purchased “from Gko/A.Batabd, Esq., in 1845, for the sum of §50,000. About one half the land is covered /•with primitive forest trees, and the balance is a beautiful bottom and rolling hill side, covered with grass, flowers, and shrubbery. Taken altogether, we doubt whether grounds could. be obtained any where in the vicinity of the City, better suited for n burying place. . The soil is a very fine gravel,»is ' easily dug, and when exposed to the elements forms v a cement almost, as firm as solid sandstone. • The first work waa done on the grounds on the Cth of September, 1845,about the same, time,the . first-interment took place. Since then, up to the v 16th of December, there have been 560 interments. . It is proper to remark that the remains of a large number of persons were removed from various • other burying places,and interred in the Cemetery, which are included in the above statement. In ' some instances,.the remains of whole,families have been removed there and interred together. S,x bundled and fifty-six lots have been sold, frem which the sum-of $51,512 53'has been real izedi up to the 21st of October last, Of this sum $22,503 67 have been paid over to Mr. Bayard; $15,843 07 hive/been expended in improving and i beautifying the’grounds, paying laborere, &c; and , there is still doe, on the sale of lots, $13,530 71,, The balance due to Mr. Bayard onthe first fnstal • ment, besides interest, iss2496'33;tomert which at /any time, the item of dues for lotssoldcan be rent defed available. In payment of the second inslal-,; ment of $25,000, Mr. Bayard is entitled to reeeive oneialf Of the sales of lots after the expiration > of five years from the date of the purchase until that sum and interest is paid. The firsUnsUlmen of $25,000 was secured to Mr. Bayard 4y thepn ,o»e g«ar a nt«,m sums of 81000;each, of the re-., quired number of the .corporators. For the second instalment, He holds the obligation of the corpora tion merely without recourse to the property. "the grouhds/are,- therefore, entirely unimeumber. ed, and are held in fee by the corporation. • The lots sold ini the aggregate, cover an area of 14 acres of the ground. About 70 acres of the entire enclosure, are appropriated for burying pur poses—the remaining4o acres,being setupartlor buildings, carriage ways, walks, aUeys.shru hery &c &c. According to this calculation there are fifry-six acres, suitable for burying lots, which remain unsold. The lots arej.sX2o feet m size or 300 square feet, and are valued at from *° *lOO each in price, according to ths location. It i» designed to have the grounds enclosed with a high and substantial Btone wall; and at present the ‘fronting onthe Allegheny river is thus enclosed. Eventually, when the finances of the - Trustees will admit of it, a fine cast iron fence will he substituted lor the atone wall, at least upon that part of the enclosure adjoining the public roads. ‘ . . .. The main entrance to the Cemetery is from the North-west corner, towards the Arsenal. Amag pificent gateway, at this entrance, is now-m the progress ,of construction. The design, which one, is the work of Mr. Are isrr, whose taste in matters of this kind, is well known. The erection of this gale-way will cost - 84,000; Our townsman, W. W. Wuucj, Esq, is the contractor. . . . As soon as the ground is paid for, it is the in tention of the trustees to provide a sinking fun , from tire proceeds of the sale of l«tvw«h Which to beautify and adornj the premises. We hale"not the least doubt but that, in the course ■ bf/a few ysars, Allegheny Cemetery will equal, in beauty and arrangement, any similar burying blace in the United States. The location is cer " thinly not surpassedby any other; and all that is nec essary is the exercise of judicious taste and round judgement, in laying out the ground, planting trees, shrubbery, &c. Upwards of fourteen hun i dred trees and shrubs of various kinds, mostly of rare atui costly varieties, were set out last spring, i and u larger number will doubtless be planted next spring. ... ... 1 Allegheny Cemetery is a bury ing-piace of which [ the citizens of Pittsburgh have every reason to feel proud. The greatest objection we have beard urged against *he location, is its the i city. Bui a* the city increases in population, ex tendin'' her borders every year farther and farther, this objection will, at least in part, be removed,-- - WU feel assured, that there are no grounds located nearer to the city that combine so many beauties aid attractions as the place of which we have been speaking. . ‘ W e presume that our citizens generally will se lect IoU for burying-pl aces in the Cemetery. They are certainlv much cheaper than similar lots m any of the, old burying grounds in and about the city As life is the season to prepare, for death, ao also, is it the proper time to select a place to deposit the body after the spirit has winged its flight to a purer and holier sphere, ‘‘lt is appoint ed°that nil men shall die.” No one Can tell when “the grim messenger ” will make his solemn vis -it.

He was, aaya that paper, in the employpf Hillard & Smith baying cattle, and was at the timi j n Mercer county in this state. Ho had put up nt Severn, in Marion, where ho intended to make it headquarters fora time—had explained to tho landlord lit busi ness, and as usual the next day had gone int the country around to look for cattle. The lano, r( j knowing that he had considerable monoy upon ; a person, sought him when about twelve milles frot. bis tavern and alone in a by place, shot him, rob bed him, dragged his body some distance and de posited it between two logs and covered tho same with brush. Johnson feigned death until tho land lord left, when soon after a teamster jpassing by and made himself beard to say, “put me in your wagon I and drive to the tavern as fast as possible.” Tho teamster did so, taking him to the same tavern where he put up. s On arriving, the landlord came out to take; the horses, when Johnson raised his head and exclaimed, “That is the man who shot mo! He has two thousand dollars of my money! ” and in ten | minutes after, Johnson was dead. The landlord, overwhelmed at the evidence of his guilt gave himself up, confessed the murder, and is now in jail. Johnson leaves a devoted wife and an interesting family in that city to mourn bis untimely death. Mb. L.

' But, in the meanwhile, it is not one only, but many intended extensions, which the Pennsylvania Railroad may hope to see springing into existence; and there is a prospective trust a good one, of an other important rout being opened from Pittsburgh to Cincinnati,on a more Southerly line, by way of Steubenville, Coshocton, Newark and Columbus. The advantages of this road, which ore undeniably very great, are strongly set forth ino pamphlet Let ter, which we have recently received, addressed by a committee from Steubenville, to Thomas Bake well, Esq., President of the Pittsburgh Board of Trade, “on the subject of connecting Pittsburgh and Philadelphia with'Cincinnati and the Great •West.” •' . il The Steubenville route is, in a manner, a rival or the Pennsylvania and Ohio road the advocates of ei ther contending, of course, that what they deem the superior advantages of theone over the other. I The gentlemen of the Steubenville committee, however^advocate their cause in the moat 'liberal •spirit, avoiding the mean and petty jealouwes which I are too often allowed so injure the great micro ata ol internal improvements. « So far from throwing an impediment in its way,” they aay, speaking of the Mansfield route. “we would rather lend a helping hand to aid m remov ing such, if any, as may be found to tu on ward progress. A" citizens of Ohio, we rejoice at the success of every project to open a way by which the rich products of our noble State may find access to an easier and belter market. There-is room for all. There will be business enough in the present, or in the future, to give employment, profitable em ployment, to all.” Wo do not talc part in any controversy as to which-of these routes would possess superior merits as the* sole extension of the Pennsylvania Railroad. We wish to see both built and considered extensions of our road. And whether we regord them as ex tensions, or as merely local tributaries, it cannot bat j be denied that each offers its own particular claims and values. They both go through the richest coun ties of Ohio, but one in a more northerly route, tho nearest to Lake Erie,; the other to the south, the .nearest to Cincinnati; the ono opening to the Lake country, the other to the Valley of the Ohio; and both, through various allied railroads that are pro jected, aiming to place Pittsburgh and Philadelphia in communication with the rich central regions ol the old North Western Territory. They aro both, to our apprehension, great routes,destined to be the channels of vast currents of trade and travel ; and Philadelphia has a prodigious interest atstake in tbe success of both.

Cincinnati and Sandusky Railroad, is about 364 miles; , or 724 miles, by that route, from Philadelphia to . Cincinnati. We make these estimates of distances, not for the purpose of contrasting the relative advantages or dis advantages of the two Ohio roada, a* routes to Cjn cinnali, (fur in that case we ought also to contrast them as routes to the Lakes,) but fur ibo purpose ol making a comparisou of the three great rival routes of trade which will soon exist between the cities of Philadelphia, New York ami Boston and the great commercial metropolis of Ohio, the Queen City of the beautiful River. Philadelphia will, then —shortly we trust—enjoy two direct railroad connections with Cincinnati, one or 670, the other of 724 miles in length.

The disadvantage of Boston, is 07 miles of railroad more than Philadelphia, and, in addition, tho whole 252 miles of steamboat.
