It 11 with teenage of unalloyed gratification that wit are permitted to announce the cheering fact, that the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad Ia completed, from its eastern terminus at Pitts burgh, to Its 'eaten terminus at Ciestlino.• To day the trains will commence their reitisi tripe . behreen the two points," The consummation of a work so important to this per, la an event of no email moment to us, and will be hailed whit joy by all our citizens. Solna six years ago we commenced, In the Ga zette, an unrest and persererlnghdrocaoy of a Western railroad, and although we Were met at first with but little encorusgemeit, and sympa thy, oar faith in Ito final moans wale too strong to permit' our exertions to flag, and the result has proved the correctness of our positions, and mined every assertion we made. We mention these things; not in a spirit of boasting,' bet to show the wand of the gratifieltion we feel at an event en interesting to every friend - of this peat enterprise. To the President, - Directors and OBizere of the Company, too muoh prairie cannot be given. Berm a company has been better managed:— Its President and Chief Engineer, espetially, have devoted to it ripe experience and tnlag-' ging energies from Its first commencement to the present moment; and to them are the peo ple of Pittsburgh in a great measure indebted fee the gratifying consummation of their hopes. Thin etty now has one Railroad, peculiarly tie • own, luckily two hundred miles long, connecting us with the great net of Railroads ramifying thretsh every part of the ewes of Ohio, indi. ana and Illinois•—•a Railroad which will, through all time, pour the riches of the weec late our lap, and promote the prosperity of this city—and • railroad, too, which will richly reward its stoakheidere, paying handsome dividends, and prOvlng itself to be among the very Barest seen_ rules in the land. But this enterprise has not been barren of tabor fruits: It-has already given birth to seve ral Important Railroad projeete, allot which will love of Immense value to this city. The Ballo fontalno and Indiana Railroad, the Ohio and 1n .41an4 Railroad„ the Fort Wayne and Chicago Ballmsad, antl.the_Bpringfield and Mt. Vermin Railroad, and some two or three others, are all the lagitheate restate of the Ohio and Penneyl- Van's Railroad. They wore all undertaken to cemnsot with our road, and as a part of its great system of oonteetione. They will all be feeders to Ikatel help to swell its golden profits. Truly, Its conception was s happy thought for Pitts burgh, and its oempletion Is a bright era In her history.

The town talk le Soule's appointment for Spain. It may be a goad one, politically, but in a national point of view It In a bad one. Soule is a brilliant Frenchman, who left Pais for some political offence under Charles the Tenth. Tbo mere circumstance of having been exiled from his native soil by the absolute fool who wee . himself expelled by his people for his tyranny and usurpations, is highly honorable to Mr. 831ile, but it does not qualify him for in important mission, representing the honor and intereets of this Bepablivin another country. I believe Mr. Souls, though ho opposed Charles the Tenth in his designs against the liberty of the press in France, to a Bonapartist, and 41 he lived in France from 1849 to 1858, there is good reason for believing that he troild have been a supporter of Louis Napoleon in his treachery,. and in the betrayal of the republic which foolishly confided its destinies to his care. He is a fine speaker, and in possessed of many qualities which are apt to gain a mere popular applause. But he is possessed of little real ability, and no caploity which will lead to any important achievement in diplomacy or etatesmanehlp. In our domes tic controversies for the last four years, he has been a sectionalist, a secesalanist, antfia fire eater." But let on not prejudge him in the ca reer on which ho Is now entering. He goes to Spain to get Cuba for the Pierce administration; let us see how he will succeed. He is to have a serenade to-night. Hon. John Slidell, of La., arrived here to-day. He lost no time In communicating to the Presi dent Ms non-acceptance of the mission to Cen tral America He is rich, and the salary and outfit have less than the usual attraotions for him. He does not want to expose his health to the malaria of Nicaraugua Swamps. That la moderate and philosophical; Beside, the appoint ment of Soule makes a vacancy in the Senate, which be hopes to ill. Let no eon how he will come out in plimsoll of the honor.. A largo proportion of the candidates for office who lag aupetfirious on the stage of Importunity are from Ohio. They feel bad.. They think the Buckeye Democracy have been badly treated. Ohio gave Pierce 23 votes, and in return only asked a place ire the Cabinet, a full mission, two or three Charge.ships, an many bureau's, and half a dozen fat consulships. Sam Medary came here recommended by nineteen out of the twenty-three electors, h majority of the Congres sional delegation and of the State Legislature, for the poet office department. He came to Washington, made his bow, and put in ME pa ' pers. He was politely told, "Colonel, very ear ry, indeed, but Old Beek has epoken for the plane, and Campbell Is already ticketed." Sam sensibly took hie leave, shaking off the duet from the edits of hie feet. On his return, the Democracy absolutely snorted with rage. What! refuse Sam Medery, who has pulled the party cut of every slough into which its own Impetu osity, or the enmity of Whigs had forced it, for twenty-five years! The thing was tolerable and not to bli.endurecl. The appointment of Mansy penny to a bureau, and of John K. Miller to a territorial judgeship, did not much help the mat ter. What eared Disney, or Gov. Wood, or Dave Oarter, or Little BireeMer, or Judge Platt for that 7 The murmurings and private imprera. time, audible to every Democrat here, CH be ams terrifio when the :whole squadron return home. Of course the 'defeat of the party at the next election to decided. Medlll will be beaten for Governor next fall, by ten or fifteen thousand majority, and the 23 votes will turn up on the wrong side (for Pierce) three years afterwards. There are rumors that the Cabinet is tottering. It is saaid•that Marcy dplarce be will not stay to be snubbed by the President, and badgered by Cushing. It was not enough that he should have given up Dickinson, but now some of the . most important appointments in his own depart ment are to be &rota upon him against his will. This ie what in said. Observe. Ido not believe It. Marcy loves his place too well to leave it cn a pique. Probaby, as boys will sprinkle cheese parings around a rat hole, attempts have been Made to draw the Governor out by missions to England, or things of that sort. But he is too old. He does not nibble. Gen. Cushing, probably, does not want Marcy's pito; hot I think he would like to go abroad. He reads everything, and is a walking polyglot. He goes to old Bodlsco's feeds, and out-talks the most voluble there, from the Pion, who has breasted Lapland's snows, to the Sicilian, Salo hoe revel ed in the soft airs of the Meditirnmean. He goes to Old Bullion's, eats, drinks and talks, to the admiration of the old gentleman, Ishii is himself no chicken in black letter knowltdgc, and no enteleirer Is modern accomplishments. Such a man is certainly wasting his sweetnem on the desert air, and the quid cones posltliely la ment that he will not stay. There is some gam mon in that too, for intimate pernonal friends of the Attorney General asenre me he is content with what he is. But all these rumors have not started In nothing, and are not tending to nothing. • "7 Hen. _Din _accepts the cffme tendered him in New York, with a proviso. He will not keti It long, bat will relieve the administration of any embarrassment by discharging the -duties for a couple of menthe, and then he will expect the Mission to England or Francs. And whittle more hewnll get it. This shows the ,Independence of the Barnburnere. They do not care shucks for either Pierce or'their natural foes, the Hun kers. Though they gave op to the latter on principles, they have floored them on the office,. All this looks bad for Buchanani If Din goes to England, be cannot. If CoslAg goes to Eng land, he cannot. If the New York Beruburners triumph at every point, as well at 0% eshington as at Albany, what need Is there for the tinter rified of the Keystone, the humble and devoted retainers of the Sage of Wheatland? Whet thank have they .for having licked the dust at the bidding.. of slavery? It would really be soul cheering If thole reward should be contempt and neglect. But, a&sio, let us wait and see.
