We noticed last week the allotments of the sections of rail road between Millersburg and Trcvorton bridge. The different contractors are preparing for a vigorous rirotecutii.n of the work, and some havo already commenced operations, and we have uo doubt the line cau be completed to Trevorton bridge by the beginning of September, os designed by the company. On that portion of the road be mtunceTTcn' liiiiesriVlferBBnH(r Sunbnr'' sections but much of the .oiT done. As frequent inquiries ui ."J..l regard to the completion of this portion of the road, we have only to say. that Messrs. Lauman & Co. requested bs to state two weeks since, that this work vfould be let in sixty days from that time. IltEWATttt.MES ;( 1 HE MSQIKIIAMVA The packet boats, and per consequence, the Sunbury and Erie rood, are doing a heavy business at the present time. The boats are making two trips a day and come crowded with passengers. A few days since one boat brought o load of one hundred uud ninelv passengers, who took the cars of the Sunbury and Eric road, for Williamsport, at Northum berlaad. The rail road, we understand, hue been carrying from 400 to 500 passengers per day the patt week. The hardy watermon who a few years since used to toil over the weary road, between Columbia and tho Sin hemahoDing and its tributaries, a distance o' about 200 miles, on foot, requiring five or six days for the jouruey, now reach Lock Haven on the Wctt Branch, a days walk from home, in about thirty hours, and Elmira on the North Branch, in mncb less time, by means of rail roads and canal packets. When the Northern Central road is tinUhed, between Sunbury and Harrisbnrg, which will be the case before next spring and the Sunbury and Erie is extended from Williamnport to Lock Haven, about the close of the present year, our readers may expect to soe sonic of the longest passenger trains running over this road, that they ever witnessed ia this or any other section of couutrr. Latt rpring nearly all the walei-men froo the North ond West Branches of the Hubquo hannn, returned home by way of tho Dauphin and Susquehanna, cud the Cattawisa rail roads. The t;dt of travel has, however, changed. Fii:ce the completion of the Sun bury and Erie road to Northumberland and Sunbury. the greater portion take the Packet boats at the Junction for Northumberland, where they take the cars of the Suubury and Erie road to Williamsport. The distance, from llarrisburg to Williams, port by the Dauphin and Susquehanna, and the Cattawissa rail roads is 150 miles. From Harrinburg to Williamsport by way of North umberland 93 miles. The hitter route being ouly half as long, is, ofcourte. the cheapest, but wc uiiderstanJ thut the Williamsport and Elmira road, discriminates iu favor of passen gers over the Cattawissa road, charging thfin only cn dollar, and those over the other ronte two dollars and twenty-Cvo tent. This teems hardly fuir. ond is done, perhaps, to induce passengers who return by way of Lock Haven, to take a mora circuitous rente by way of Elmira. 3T We copy the following from the Eaa. ton Daily Express.

Tbe present is a delightful time fpr travel ling, and many embrace tho Opportunity to visit Philadelphia, which at the present sea ion it peculiarly attractive. On Satnrdny last we left the Quaker city and atrlved at Pottsville at non. After partaking 'of an excellent dinner at Col. Johnson's Pennsyl vania Hall, we entered Friend Dornen'a U, S. Mail conch, fast line, 17 miles for Mount Cartnol, at a quarter till ono o'clock time five hours and three quarters, or three miles per hour, fare $1,50, or 9 cents per mile. Before starting we attempted to convince Tom that 81,f0 for 17 miles, was piling It on rather thick, aud that 25 years ago. John Weaver carried passengers over the same road in half the time for SI. But Tom is a logician as well as a philosopher, and knocked us, if he did not convinco us, by contending that he made up in timo what he loBt in speed that he charged but little over 25 cents per bonr, while rail roads charged from 75 cents to $1 that it was contrary to morals and good policy, if not unconstitutional for rail roads to carry passengers at from 2 to I cents per mile, ond that stage proprietors were perfect ly justifiable in charging double rates when ever they had an opportunity. We caved in at once got into tte'eoach, and precisely at half past sit, were landed safety nt Mount Carmel, from wlience we wcro carried to Sunbury, 28 miles, in one and hulf hours, over ono of the smoothest and best conducted rail roads in the country. KIX'KPTIOS OF Mil BIXIIAKAN. The reception of this distinguished gentle man since his arrival must have been highly gratifying to hiin self and bis friends. Mr. Buchanan has represented ns with distin guished ability at the court of Great Britain, and his reception without distinction of party at New York, Philadelphia and other places on his way home, shows that his merits and high character are properly appreciated. We were at Philadelphia on Friday last, when M r. Buchanan ifrrived in that city. Tbe pro cession thnt passed through Chestnut street, to the Merchants Hotel in 4th street, nt 11 o'clock in the evening to serenade. Mr. Bu chanan was very large, blocking up tho street for a whole square Mr. Buchanan, Colonel Forney, and several others came out on the bulcnny and addressed the assemblage. The action of the city councils in refusing tho Hall of Independence, for his reception, wa? justly censured by ull liberal minded men of every party. Uu hutniilay .Mr. Uucuanaii left the citv for his houirt at Lancaster, under a committee of escort from Philadelphia, and one from Lancaster, and was received ut his home, after an absence of three years, as Minister to England, with great rejoicings. The Lancaster Intelligencer thus notices his arrival The engine which brought thu train from Philadelphia, wus the "Young America." It was gaily decoratod with flags, and on the front of it tliora wiu a Urgu liAliner. on which was iiiBcribcd : "Welcome Home Pennsyl vania's Favorite Sou." As thu train approached the I.ocomotivo Works a salute of seventeen guns was fired, under the direction of Col. John 11 Duthinuti and Captain Henry A. Hambright, and the bunds struck tip the National airs, playing them in fine ttyle. Thu crowd of people at the Works and" in the vicinity was immense tho upper windows of the . Works, and those ladies, who 'wit fi tnuVavfug of their hand ker chiefs, and the cheers of the great crowd be low, made sneli an enlivening scene us we have never before ttitnesitcd. At this place ho was handed over to the chairman of the Reception Committee, Dr. F. A. Muhlen berg, by the Chairniitu of the Escort Com mittee, i A procession was then formed, with two splendid bands of music in attendance, heuded. by Uol. Uucliman. as Llnef.Marslial, ant Col. Carmany, Richard McG rami, David Reese, and Michael H Locher, all monted. Mr. Buchanan took a seat in a carriage in compa ny with Dr. Muhlcubf.rg, Chairman Commit tee of Reception, his Honor, Mayor Zimmer man, and Col. JoFcph B. Baker. " The follow, ing wus the order iu which life procession was farmed : jChief Marsha! and Aids. Hon. JAKts Bltiianan, in company with the ahove named gentlemen. Committee of Frrort.

WhiUt on the march, thu bells were rung, cannon Crcd. flaps displayed at different points, and the enthusiasm of the people knew r.o bounds. In East King tlrcet the wiudows, doors and steps of tho dwellings, stores and Court Houio wcro lined with ladies, who, by spark ling eyes, pleasant smiles and waving hand kerchieft!, showed their delight in welcoming uomo our tuninguittea lellow-c;ti7.en. The streets were lined with persons, eager to catch a glimpse of Mr. Uueimiian. Centre Square presented the appearance of a perfect sea of Leads. The stores, City II all. and other buildings, in that space, were crowded with ladies, anxious to seo and hear the great Bicbanan. He bowed repeatedly to the cheers, and other enthusiastic demonstra tions with which ho wus greeted. Centre Square ti us handsomely 'decorated with flags, ut the diflurent corners of the dif ferent streets leading therefrom. The stand, from which the speeches were delivered, was fitted up iu Cue style, over tho top of which wus placed a large transparency, on which were tbe following words: "James Buchanan Welcome Home." On tho arrival of the procession at the Square, Dr. Mchlkkpeho, in a very happy und appropriate munner welcomed Mr. Bf cuanan buck to his old home.

The Pottsville papers say that indications in the coal region all point to a limited coal business this season. The PottsvilU Oattltt says t "This stagnation Is not produced by a dl. mlnished necessity for the coal, but appear! to bo brought about by a movement on tbe Dart of F.imlnrn il..nlpr to control nrices to their advantage, and to the detriment of tins' producing interest. This movement will, in the end, be disastrous to themselves and the consumers. The producers will not be able to chip as largo a quautity as the market for the entire year will demand, nor or much at it would be to their interest at paying prices to supply t while with the dealers aud consumers the short supply will, towards the close of the season, force prices to an exor bitautOgnre." The' Miners' Journal says s 'The trade is in a complete snarl there is but little demand for coal, with tho markets nearly all bare. Tbe wuut of an understand ing on the part of the transporting compa nies, and the delay iu fixing the price of tolls and transportation by railroad and canal, has largely contributed to the present state of affairs. We firmly believe thot it is utterly impossible to supply the market this year, owinir to lateness in the commencement of tho trade aud we state in advance that no fault will rest with the coal regions tho market is, comparatively speaking, bare of coal and many of our operutors have scarce ly any orders for coal. Shipments from Tort Richmond have nlsO-considerably fallen off. It is a most singular state of affairs, and the consumers will lave to pay for it in the end." The coal operators at Pottsville have called a meeting, to be held to-morrow, to take some steps to protect themselves, and remedy some of the present evils, if possible Some of the operators havo found it neces. eary to suspend some of their hands. It will require four months, or until the first of Sep. tember next, nt an increase of 10,000 per week, 4o-"tiuke np the deficiency of the Schuylkill region.

The question of the Presidency is becoming every day more aud more interesting. There are a number of aspirants for that distinguished position, who are only awaiting a favorable opportuni ty. The prominent candidates now in the bold tire. lion. James liuchanan and 1 resi dent Pierce. Judge Donglus is uUo making efforts to secure the nomination. Gen. Cass, it is believed, will not bu a candidate. A Washington correspondent of tho Ledger savs : ' It is tho intention to endeavor to substi tute tho majority for the two-thirds rule in the Democratic N nional Convention. This will render certain the nouiinution of some on of the men prominently before the public, mid will preclude the necessity of resorting to a compromise nomination ot some man pre viously not mentioned in that connection. Of course tbe friends of the outside candidates will oppose this move ; but I venture the prediction, that it will receivo a larger vote than it ever bus before, and may possibly bo adopted. The Hon. Jesse D. Bright has declined candidacy fur the Presidency. If General tiuence will b iu.ut'uecuret!ie noniina tion of Mr. Hunter. It is not known nl to gether certain, that General Cass will not be a candidate. A distinguished Senator has said, that General Cass will accept the nomi nation if bestowed upon him. Mr. Bright would nave no objection to the positiou of ice i resuieiit . SoiTHFRS Emigration to Kansas. Both the Charleston Putnot und Wiunesboro' (S. C.) Register take ground against Southern emigration to Kansas. The reasons given aru that the South cannot compete with the North in this sort of emigration; that it is extremely problematical whether gains in Kansas will ever be invested in Southern slave property ; that the old slave States are decreaaiug in political power because so se verely taxed by tho loss of citizens to popu late other States; because emigration to Kansas may populate a Government Territo ry whose future admission as a State is so wrapt in doubt as to "make it prudent not to carry slaves there yet awhile at any rate." The Charleston Staudurd adds to these rea cgds the following : 'The South bus long been tasked to the nccomplisbmentof inconsistent objects. The ono has been to expand her material develop, ment, builds towns and cities, uud maintain respectability in tho eyes of the world ; the other wus to march with equal puce upon va cant territory and preserve equality within the Union," New Jersey Pnpers say the prospect is tl,;ro will be a heavy crop of wheat in that State.

During the last year much of the financial business of the borough bus been pluced iu a way that if properly attended to, will cventu. ally be of great udvautage. Thu uccounts of many of the old officers are in state of settle, ment, many leusec and contracts for leases have been made for thu river bank, and nu merous other matters that should engage the atuntion of those that aro familiar with tho last yeurs proceedings. I understand that nearly the whole of the members oi the pres ent council will be again in the field for re election. Without knowing who their pppo nents may be, I have no hesitation in saying, that a more competent and intelligent set of gentlemen conld not bo selected, than those that have served as either second, assistant burgesses or common couneilmen during the last year. I assure you that 1 found them always ready aud willing to do anything that was calculated to advanco the interests of the Borough. They were always willing to work, and would meet for the transaction of business on tbe shortest notice. Tbey having at this time a thorough knowledge of the borough affairs, and having been tried, I ear nestly recommend their re-election. To elect a ow council every year is certainly cot ad visable, s nless tbe old one bss been dsrllict lo its dtir. Very respeetfnllv reon, WM. t IlOCrtFELLElT.
