Tire Hones or Ratruan.—There are many in stitutions which came before an editor in their reports for consideration and notice which he sails attention to, more as a matter of ems° or from considerations of duty, than because he is heartily iaterealed in them, their interests and their objects.! The Rouse of Refuge is not one of these. It le an institution in which every humane heart feels a deep and abiding interest, and whose objects are among the noblest that candled:ay has Indicated as worthy of pursuit. To ask suppOrt for it, Is not to ask charity; not to plead - a doubtful claim; needs not come for ward with a beat, _ clamorously, and work through lobby influent:a or purchased eulogy upon legislators, or by fine-drawn theory and meritricione praise to health individuals to work in its behalf in the private walks of iite:—lt cornea forward with its high claims upon the legislator as a matter of economy; for, as the President, Mr: Anderson petty remarks in his report, "what we wet:taw:pent( upon these youths will s•Ito so moot token away from the burden which "falleWpon yourjails, dma honour, and penitent. ”tiariee."

Let as collate a few of the facts set down in this Third Annual Report. In the filet piece what has been effected ? Two hundred and seionerniin children have been taken from the streets, front mineable bemes, or from homes where the parent Las no, or if any a brutal °entre], trete hauute of rice, from evil associa tion!, from positions where n choice often lies between theft and starvation. Now for this large family, there has been built an elegant building, with its wert•eheps, dormitories, eohoobinOrne, lecture-roome, dining-rooms, bath ing-room/6nd all the paraphernalia connected with such as establishment.

In one or two Instances where therm children had unfortunately fallen into the bands of un kind persona they have returned of their own scoord bits the welcome Gaylen/ where they leaned their first lateens of good. The testi mony of persoue with whom both boys and girls front the institution have lived or been inden• tared Is la a net majority, of cues favorable in the highest degree.

In the out set consider what hoe been dose. The road is in actual working order and In daily use from Connelsville to Pitteburgh, the janetion with the Pennsylvania railway at Turtle Creek having been effected since the date of the report which now lies before as. The distance between this city and Connelsville over which the care are now running is GO miles. yes whole dietance between this point and Cumberland where tho road forms a junction with the .Baltimore and Ohio It. IL is 148 miles. Thus there aro but 88 miles of the road to be completed, upon which the work ie being driven forward. The Sand Patch Tunnel, an immense work, is advancing toward completion, and can he readily finished before the eon of 1868. Snob is a hurried re view of what has been and what is to be done. Pittsburgh has been somewhat heavily bur dened with railroads. Several to which 'the city and county have loaned their credit, have come back upon us and caddied as with a load of interest somewhat difficult to stand up under, but which wo. have faith to believe they will carry triumphantly if need be, until the great patio thoroughfares which are to connect us with the rich and flourishing regions of neigh boring States and open up portions of our. own which are yet almost unexplored, shall be made to pour their bounty into our coffers and par- Bally, at least, compensate by both particular and general advantage for the times when they were a heavy drag upon our resources. Tho Connollsville is happily not ono of the route which have recoiled upon us. It has suffered muoh from official default; and from the feet that a large part of the road was built end running without any iniportant point either to run to or from, ito revenues heirs oaf., fered. The latter difficulty is now overcome. It can bring the rich products of the Valley through which it runs for 48 miles, directly hither, where by steamboat or railway they can find their way to the head waters of the great rivers of the Continent, or Southward to the Gulf ofMexico. We rode through the valley of tha Yotighlogheny on the care last Spring, and aro free to declare that a richer, more thriving or more fertile region it was cover , our good for tune to visit. It abounds in the nil:duets both of nature and of human skill. Flour, Lsrither, Iron, Grain, Pig Iron, Whisky, Lime, Lumber, etc , aro all among the articles of commerce which we observed,as products of nature and of art combined, while'of coal, fire-clay, building stone, cto., there is literally no end. The very best of coal too injittie along the Youghiogheny as ail know who know anything about iL— Running through this productive region and de veloping and bringing into the market what wan before useless Wealth poured forth iu unfre quented places as if to inoito the energies of man, there can boos good reason, looking no farther than just to way tralthe, why this rood once completed should not rank among the most succesoful in the country. But when wo consid er the termini of the whole work, the entrepot, the grand Mecca, ea to I.peak, of the iron man ufactures of Pennsylvania here at the head of the great river system of the Continent, and Baltimore, lying upon the Chesapeake and com manding a princely trade upon the whole At lantic const,and stretching her iron arms out to ward three points of the compass, at the East, there can ',main but email ground for doubt of the ultimate euouga of a work already approach ing completion wader favorable auspices We aro not surpriecethat, in the words of Mr. Ls. trobe, the President of the road, " there is in Baltimore but ono opinion of the prcepecta of this work as a great highway of traffic between the eity at the Head of the Ohio and the city at the head of the Chesapeake, each in a commei, chat position of the roost commanding order." Perhaps we have alid more upon the general character and prospective advantages of the work than is necessary. too have, however, kept faithfully to the record, nue:thing the re ports of Engineers and of the President, and tel ling, in addition to this, what we know from ao• tool observation in respect to the nature of the region through which moat of the completed road.passm, what ia foot any ono can ere if he will take a trip on the railroad from here to Connelsville. finer that the road is open from Connelsville to this city, the Board of Directors has caused setae estimates of what they may reasonably expect in the way of income.

They have, therefore, declined to reoeive them at par, tram the fact that at the present market prices of tbo securities, there will not ho enough re alized to redeem the circulation at that rate. In the transactions connected with the banke in Illinois sad Indiana, the proprietors have shown that they wore wanting in both honor and hen eaty, and the affair looks very like swindling on a largo solo.

At the time of our de• partnre from San Francisco vrl were led to believe that there would be no difficulty in cros sing by the Nicaragua route, and there was every reason to anticipate a rapid trip to this city. Oa reaching Lake Nicaragua we em barked on board the steamer San Carlos, but hod only proceeded about five mile:, this side of Fort San Carlos before a river steamer, which bad boon lying concealed behind a point of land, made her appearance, with a force of abont sixty men en board, all armed to the teeth; while there were two field-pieces on board of the steam• er. We were ordered to come to; whereupon no officer whose name was said to be Spencer, an agent of Vanderbilt, who told no he had 1,000 mon at San Carlos, and was In posseoeion of all the other steamers and vessels lately owned by Walker, therefore any resistance on our part would Do useless; that if we chose to place our selves varier Ma proteollou we should be safely convoyed to Ornytown. Whereupon we left the steamer San Carlos and went on board the Costa Rican steamer, in which wo were convoyed to Groytown no promised, no. The steamer San Carlos, which is a lake eteamsr, was left at a place called Torre. .

About 250 recrults that wont out from hero by the Torus front New Orleans, were said to ho at Point Arenas, trying to fit up a steamer in which to go op to join Walker, but their Bootees was considered somewhat doubtful.
