What next?” Oar readers know that there is no troth what ever in the abovo statement. Probably a dozen "grey coats” cannot bo found in tho city at this time; and at LawrenceviUc Arsenal only the usual number. What next ?

LIEUTENANT GENERAL. We ent the following from tho ML Vernon ■Banner: 1 Lieutenant General.— We regret to observe that General Shields has introduced into the Senate a resolution authorizing the President to confer the'title of Lieutenant General, by brevet, on officers of the army. It is well understood that tho aim of tho resolution is to bestow upon General Boott a monarchical title, totally at va riance with tho genius of our institutions. That bo distinguished a Democrat as Gen. Shields should propose so great an absurdity, astonishes us very much. It should havo owed its origin to tho Whig side of the Senate. ; The Cincinnati J. aquiree makes some remarks ■upon tho subject, which wo fully endorse. That excellent papersays: “We had hoped that this Lieutenant General matty, which was defeated at tho lest session, when it wosproposed to con for that distinction on General Scott, had re ceived its final quietus, and that the objectiona ble'proposition would not again be renewed. If we have Lieutenant Generals in the Army, we must, of course, havo Admirals in the Navy, and it would bo the entering wedge to a great many moro monarchical and nristooratio distinctions that are utterly incongruous with our republican form of government There was never but one man in tho United States who boro the title of Lieutenant General, and tbnt was George Wash ington, the father of his country; and there is a peculiar propriety in his continuing to bo tho only one who enjoyed that appellation. A Dem ocratic Congrcsß can give no countenance to this Lientenant General scheme. The Albany Atlas, another radical Democratic paper, well remarks, that neither tho Army nor tho people oak this. Tho suggestion does not come from his fellow officers. His own party had not tho courage to bestow it. The Demo cratic party have-not tho right Lost year such a proposition passed'tho Senate and failed in tho House. Wo hope to see it fail again. Bestow money and regard upon General Bcott, bat do -not let us.imitato Mexican weakness by tbo invention and bestowal of merely aristocrat titles. On this subject tbe Pittsburgh Pott pertinently remarks: Let ns havo Dukes, Lords, Admirals, &c.» all at once, if Europeanisme are to be in troduced, and sanctioned bylaw. Make it Lord General, instead of Lieutenant-General, and we will bo ■ better satisfied. The real [intent will then bo apparent. How would “ Serene Highness" do ? That is Santa Anna’s choice. - Wo could fill onr paper with extracts like tho above. The democratic press generally opposes it; and some Whig papers speak coldly in rela tion to it All know that it ie wholly unneces sary ; that it is on innovation upon our customs; an imitation of Enropeanisms; and that the office is one not recognized by tho Constitution and the laws. We hopo tho House of Representatives will lay it over for a time, until public Bcntimentcan be made known. We like not the title; it sounds very much like tho Lord General of Cromwell’s time. We like not the principle; it is nnu-repnblican. Weiiko not tbe motive professed; it is a “magnanimity” that is uncalled for, that is dangerous, and that aims directly to rebnko the clearly expressed will of tho people at the lost Presidential elec tion. If every unsuccessful military candidate for the Presidency must he flattered with a Lieu tonant Generalship, why not award some pom poustitleto every unsuccessful civiliancandidate. Did Clay serve his conntry less faithfully than Scott ? Has Cass been less a patriot and faith ful public servant—Calhoun, Buohanan, IVright, Benton, and a host of other distinguished names, equally deserving titles os Scott; what shall be done with such of them as are now living? . If the title ie a reward for services, what conrt is to determine the amount of servico that -shall win a title. If a title for life is to bo first areated, the next step is to make it hereditary. The Beaver Star has tho following: . The bill authrizing the President to oonfer the titlo of Lieutenant General upon offioers for em inent service, has not yet passed tho House, not withstanding it was rushed through the Benate in so short a time. We havo, on a previous oc casion, expressed onr opinion of this movement. We reiterate that t€Ts is a had preoedent. A republican government, like ours, demands no such thing. If any of onr military heroeß have not already received adequate compensation for their deeds and warlike ecbievcmonts, why should not Congress vote them a sufficient earn, and have done with itt This, wo opine, wonld be the most sensible way of honoring onr military ohieflains.

The ploughing was done on the farm of Mr. Tsaao King, Esq., ten ploughs being entered as competitors. At 11 ■} o'clock, A. M., the plough ing commenced, witnessed by a large crowd of spectators. After the ploughmen had finished, the judges, Joseph Miller, Esq., Peter Boyer and Willim Wilson, Jr., went on the ground, ex amined the work, nod reported as follows: John F.

Brd ■■ 3,00 The judges on management of teams, Andrew Boyer, Wm. M'Kary and Jas. Wilson, reported as follows: John Murray, Ist premium........ $3,00 Samuel Murroy, 2nd premium, 2,00 After tho premiums had been awarded and the Treasurer had commenced paying out the premiums, objections were raised by the plough men ogainet Mr. John F. Weller, on account of consuming too much time in ploughing his por tion. A motion was then made, in the absence of Mr. Weller, to help him out, which was dono, and the judges sent book to re-examine the plonghing; after which, they reported os fol lows: Joseph Philips,.. James Hlghee,.. Harrison Hultz, As there was no limited time, Mr. Weller wished to know what a reasonable length of time would be to do the ploughing in the manner in which it was done, to which they would make no reply. It wbs a resolution of the Society, that each plougbtnan should uso his own team and plough. Mr. Weller having a very indiffer ent team, andthe ground being harder, steeper, and containing six more farrows, was about half an hoar longer in finishing. They also permit ted one of the ploughmen to make nse of. a bor rowed horse and plough, whioh was well known to one of tbe judges, and then awarded him the first premium on the management of toams. As Mr. Weller has almost lost tho ass of his lefc arm, he had to perform the greater part of tho work with one hand. Now it is for tho pnblio to decide whether Mr. J. F. Weller has got jas tico or not. One or the Plobohiien.

It appears that some years since, Benjamin Martin, Government Surveyor, in return far sorvices, looated 80,000 acres of land in Montgomery and Franklin counties, Vir ginia, and.afterwards went to Havana with pro duce, where he died with tho fever prevalent in that section of conntry. He left six children, one of whom isajadgein Franklin county, Ohio, and another tho* wife of Andrew Giffin, of this city. Several of the children had died, and the wife of Mr. G. is the sole heir to about thirty two thousand norcs, valued at an average of $2O per aero, making the snug little sum of six hun dred and forty thousand dollars 1 There is no doubt as to the validity of the title.

Upon -the sabjeet, however, of the work on the road, its progress Bnd prospect*,'with all Its detfli!*,T refer you to the able Report of onr accomplished Chief Engineer, D. Mitchell, Jr., Esq /which report is herewith submitted/ .'! Among the embarnsFmentjf heretofore retarding tho pro gress of the Roadi'nnd impairing pablic confidence (to some extent) In its usefulness and ability to afford valuable west ern connections, was the difficulty which "prevented the construction of. a railroad to connect with it, at thu Virginia line, thonce crossing that part of Virginia popularly termed I the “Pan-handle/’a distance of six miles to the Ohio river. I I am happy to be able to inform you that this difficulty may now be regarded as at an end. / - ! • Messrs. Edglngton and Wells, two enterprising and public : spirited citixen* of Virginia, sustained by the whole people' of that part of the State, having purchased the land from the Pennsylvania State line to the Ohio river, in fee.simple, judiciously located a railroad over it, connected withburs, at its Western terminus, and bavoso vigorously prosecuted tbolr work, as to have.lt, at this moment, nearly completed. The whole of it is graded and bridged, the track laid, with engines end cars running over nearly one-balf of It, and the other half will bo completely finished anti In operation by tho ecd of the present month. So that there may be said to be, at this time, a railroad completed and In operation across Virginia, from oar Western border to the Ohio river at Stoubcnville! The factbeing that tho Virginian sore ahead -of us, haring built their part of-the road, and now await the completion of our*. The difflcul ty, eo far as any exists, has thus been reversed: It Is now, to gettbo road comple ted underour charter to the Virginia Had; tho Virginians bare finished {heir part of tho road to tbo line cf Ptnnsjl ' Tania'. . . Thus have tho difficulties and doubts about tho western connections of aur Road melted away. What Is tbo real position of our road, in. reference to the number, extent and controlling power of its connections? It Is so groat. In all these particular*, that wo scarcely know where to begin the enumeration. Whether with the Penn sylvania Road, leading directly-from Philadelphia to ns by me same guage, or with tho Connclfaville, coming directly from Baltimore to uabyn like gunge; or with thet Allegheny Valley Road, (now rapidly in progress,) with Its numerous connections of vast **xrcnt. For tbo sake of order, let ua *ay,fim, that our Road, the-Pittsburgh and StoubeurDl*,' i«, In fact, an actual continuance, (under Pittsburgh own* ervliip and management) ef the Pennsylvania Railroad, now finlahcd, from Pittsburgh in a direct line west, by the same goage, to the Ohio river, there crowing the river by a bridge to Steubenville/ At that point, it connect* with tho Steubenville and Indiana Railroad, running to Columbus, Ohio, and by Roads of tho same fiuage; through Ohio, In dlana, and Illinois, directly to Bt. ixmfa. These Road* taken toecther constitute, in fact, one groat Road cf the samo uniform gaage, ia a nearly direct line from Philadel phia to fit, Louis. Of this ltoad, token a* a whole, every link la either completed or will be completed during the present year, forming a rood, considering ita length, direct- ■ ness, uniformity of gUage. importance ofUw country which it traverses, and tho Important cities and points touched and controlled by it, and connected with Improbably with out a parallel in this or any othor country, unless ftbe paralleled, or even excelled, by tho union of our road with some others of ita eastern connection* about to be men tioned. • .-- Ail that ha* bean sold of our connection-with the finished Pennsylvania road, may with the same propriety be of tho CanncfavJU* road. Just commenced—tor It, (on, leads by the wraa-guage with ours, by the shortest and best route, with low grades and highly favorable curves.from the city cf Baltimore, Unites with us here, and is continued bv our Rood la tho one some unbroken line .westward with all the connection* afforded by u* to the Pp.UQsyfvanta Road. : "Ith the exception of gunge (which may, and no doubt will be provided for.) the same may be said of tho ARagheDy Valley ltoad, with its tor-rcachiog connections with West ern and NorthernT2ennsjlvania,\rith Western,Central and Eastern Sow York and New York city and. the whole of New England. For this groat Kdnd, too, giving us llncsof con* nootiern*, whoso impartacce cannot at present bo estimated, meets us here, and like the Pennsylvania and tho Gunnels vllle, hat no direct connection with the mighty West, but by and over our Rond. Uniting with us atManefield. some Cva milos from onr Citv, U that cf the Cha-tiers Valley connecting us by way of Washington with tho IlempfieW Road leading to Wheel* log, and thus, also, putting u* by that mean* (through a country rich in coal as in soil) In direct connection with the ltoad* which are to unite at that point. There ha* also been surveyed a branch leading to tlw town .of Florence which, It Is believed, may increase tho usefulness of tho Uoad. At tho Ohio river, on ita Virginia side, a Road isalso pro jectod, and will bo constructed to. lead from oura to Wells burg, thence it will most probably be continued to Wheel* lag, tho* giving us a double competition with that dty. Crossing the Ohio river, at Steubenville,onr Road maybe fairly «aM to meet the great West. There, as bnforo stated, it unites with the Steubenville and Indiana Road leading directly to St Louis. At Steubenville, also, it unites with the Pittsburgh and Cleveland road leading to aorth-western- Ohio, and.the Lake country. From the same point, also:it is put in connection with the Marietta road, tho Central Ohio road, and the Pittsburgh, MaysviUe and Cincinnati road, now constructing aDd stretching diagonally by xeav of Cambridge and McCounellsville, across part of tho State of Ohio to Mayavilte, Kentucky, and affording tho most direct connection, at that point with that bxtendad system of . ro*ds. coming up from Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and the Cur south-west. In a word, any one that will cait his eyes on a map de lineating the railroad* of tho country, will see that two great widespread railroad systems, one from tho East and other from tho West, ere converging toward* a point as they approach Pittsburgh, and that our road, tho Pittsburgh and Steubenville, is the short forly-one mile link, tho common and controlling trunk ot both system*, which unite and in tercommunicates them together, at Pittsburgh. Looking at ourjoad, therefore, in this one aspect alouo, as the ample, means, the direct, central short cat, of uniting the East and West, through their Railroad systems, and in troducing them to each other at oar very door*, it is, in the estimation ofyonr President, tbo moat commanding link of road west of the mountains, and brings with U (whilst it is pre-eminently important in a national pointof view) tho largest possible control of other road* far tbo growth and ■ prosperity of Pittsburgh, and tho country around it. This one short road of but 41 miles connects with and more largely controls the two great systems of roads, (the Eastern ami Western just referred to,) than any other road in tho nation, No other can bo projected in which our community , ha* so doop an interest—for it is imperatively necessary for tlie completion and perfect working of the other roads In which wo have so liberally embarked onr means and built our hopes. . Nor can It toil to bo ono of the most productive ot largo return* to the stockholder*. Short roads*- uniting , hot only long one*, but whole systems of roads, os doesours! •have uot only ever been, but must necessarily ever bo, the - largest dividend yielding roads. ' Uut it I* not only from its commending connections, or it* profitable dividend return*, that it fa important to our city. Tho district of country through which ft passe*. from this city to the Virginia line, is one of tbo richest in its . agricultural and mineral capacities in Pennsylvania. Agri culturally, U has been cultivated and made available, but 1 it* mineral resources remain untouched. Onrroadextends ( noariy its whole length through tho centre of a bolt of bitu minous coal of the beat quality, averaging nt least fourteen miles In width, probably the richest coal district in the State. • • - •• Tho coal, alono, considering it as an article of merchandise' and as a soured of power and production in art and manufac ture, and as promollvo of tho growth of a flourishing popu lation, would enable tho road from the district through which it passes, to yield abundant returns to the stockhold er*, without the aid of a single one of its groat through con nections, whilst it would be, by it* ftgoncy in multiplying all tho elements of prosperity, asufit&jniugaml overtoorca£ ing source of wealth toour city. In a local point of view, both tor the country It traverses and for our community, it deserves the highest considera tion and favor. In a former report of our Engineers, this subjoct is dwelt upon at length. Itls ono perhaps, too gen erally overlooked, and yet as a source of good and prosperi ty to a community,' it fa tho most important advantage to bo derived from such a road. . ■ • Your President has endeavored to Rot forth somo of tho connections andadvantageaof this road. Regarding it as ono of tho most important in tho country, U wives him plea ‘ sure to'say that it is emphatically a Pittsburgh wnrkl The whole amount of stock subscribed is aboutsBso,ooo. Of this . $250,000 was subscribed by the city of Pittsburgh, and $3OO - 000 by the county of Allegheny. The rest was by indivi dual subscribers, aU residing in the city of Pittsburgh and its neighborhood, or along the short lino of tho rood. With out oxtraneoua aid, orencauragement, or even ordinary fair play from any quarter, our community has alreadv laid the basis of ensuring the certain and speedy success of the road* .and the President having been concerned with it from the commencement, returns to ite friends, his heartiest thanks for such sustenance yielded to it, as havo rendered it* speedy completion sure. If the progress of tho road, during tho past year, hasuot boon all that yonr President and its most sanguine friends might have desired, be fools assured, looking bock upon re tarding circumstance.*, it has been such as to eatisfythose even.who bod oxpected most. At bur last annual meeting it was, even in this community, doubted by many, os a practicable Idea. It fa now, taking into consideration Its present position and its present means, nearly a complete road, whilst tho western connection across Virginia, awaits our coming. The main cause of any. check that the progress of tbo work may have received daring the letter part of the past season, will be found in tho delay experienced in procuring the subscription from tho county of Allegheny. A law au thorizing such subscription, with other neecssary legisla tion, was procured at the last session of the legislature. This law authorfaed the Commissioners to subscribe to the extent of $500,000, upon the recommendation of the Grand Jury?- Foiling to procure such a recommendation at the Spring term of the Court, we: were postponed tilt that of June. -After the procurement of the Jury’s recommenda tion for $500,000 at that term, the necessary preliminary for a subscription, the engraving of the bonds, Sc., delayed their execution, till the money stringency prevailed which prevented a negotiation at par, or upon terms atwbich such securities (equal to any in the country) ought to he negotiated. With the exception, therefore, of $33,000 worth all these I securities remain on..hand. The result has been that-lhe | Company bos moderated In unimportant places, their work. ; still keeping, however, their heavy-sections, in full pro gees;, bo that the final completion of the road ipay.npt be delayed. - .

President and Directors of and Steub enville R.R £b.—Gentlemen: At the date of ihelaiitan- ; nual report made to vonr Board; it was confidently expected that your whole road would be' opened-for business before tbe elos® of the last, or early, in the beginning of the pres ent vear ; and had the condition of the Company’s finances' justified the most vigorous prosecution of the work through out the whole yoar, it is still that this desirable result might have boon attaint. - Several unexpected and advene circumstances have, however, occurred to. prevent its accomplishment, chief ambtig which I may mention,* was tho delay attending the procurement of tbo authorized subscription to tbo cspital stock of the G>mpany by the county of Allegheny; the limited means at the disposalaf theofilcers of .tho Company,caused by thb general depreda tion of all Railroad securities, together with the delay and reluctance with which the calls of the Directors tor inStall- Tn*eta duo by private stockholders were in many Instances mei : ' * • it is, however, hopedibat this latter cause will no longer exist, as a speedy return In the shape of dividends, can only he Secured by prompt payment of instalments as they be come due. The directors knowlhgas they do allthe engage ments and wants of tho company, make these calls in good faith for the best Interests of all concerned randwithout a ready and prompt response in likogood faith by speedy pay ments into the treasury of tho company, is made by oil the stockholders—the officers of tho company ore forced to reset t to temporary loans at high rates, in ohier to meet their eh* gogement*,or allow the credit of tho company to bo Impair ed by delaying payment to Its creditors, which deranges the whole management of the work—enhances, ito-cost, and re tards its vigorous prcsccußom; . : - , Tho means of tho company embracing os it docs a stock -subscription of over sBoo,ooo—although insufficient alone to build a road, which.has been estimated to when complete, with tbo bridges at either, end, and a full equip ment of rolling stock, sufficient to commence businesssV 500,000, If all paid up and jndidouaiyexpended in tho work, ought to afford amplo security on which to obtain the bal ance required on loan, at the ordinary rates of interest. The whole work required to complete the road from river to river, was id a former report made to vonr Board, esti mated to cost $1.290,229—which it is still believed wOI be sufficient for that purpose; of this *umabout $1,000,000 will be required on the ground covebed-by your chatter in Pennsylvania, and thebalanee In Virginia. There has been expended on the ftnnvjlnania portion of the line, unto the Sdtast—es appears by the books of this department—the gum of $322,528 50, including ratainod per centage and en gineering. Theamonntpaid for land damages, rightof way, and other expense* by the Boards, not being reported to ; this deportment, or any eocountof them kept in this office, are not embraced In the above sum, which is for ’construc tion and bridging alone. . r The progress made during tho past year, and the advanced state of the work on all the heavy, and on nearly all the lighter sections of the line, is such, that with pmapt ac tion fa providing tho necessary funds to enable us to push the work M rapidly, as it can ho economically done—the /■whole line from mcr to river can lie completed within the next ten months; and it is so manifestly tbo intern of all concerned, to secure Hi completion atlhe earllestnosidble moment, that I can hardly doubt that it wilt be done In that tune: let, without all concerned devote themselves reso utely and enmestly, to promote that object by attend tog promptly to lbs respective duties devolving on ihem, with a determination, that whatever else may claim their attention, the business appertaining to tho road shall not' that desirable end cannot he attained atsoearlr a date. v That portion of the linolyingwlihiniho Btatcof Tirgiaia baa b*«n undertaken to be constructed hr Messrs.
