The Pennsylvania Legislature adjourned on Thursday, April 11th. The Senate, in accordance with the provisions of the Con stitution, before its adjournment, proceeded to elect a Speakei, whereupon Hon. J. L. Graham, of Allegheny, was elected the Democrats voting for W. A. aliace, Lsq., j of C!c:.rfield. Speaker Hall, before retiring thanked the Senate for their support during his term. In the House, resolutions of thanks to SpeaWr Glass, were passed, and he was also presented with china and silver se'd, poid watch and silver salver from mem bers of. both sides, and the officers. Speak er Glass, in hi3 closing remarks, charged the Senate with the responsibility of defeat ing the free railroad law. At 12 o'clock, !., both branches adjourned, tine die. During its session of sixty working days, the Legislature passed one thousand six hundred and fifty-two bills and sixteen joint resolutions. Of these, one thousand two hundred and eighty-six had beeu signed by the Governor up to the hour of adjourn mentmaking an average of nearly twenty eight laws per day, as having ken placed upon the statute books during- the past ses sion. That many of the acts passed by this Leg islature, are of public beneGt, and will be approved by the people fpnlln iiierff is no Hr"J j - Yet, in other instances, that Lou'y failed to meet the wants or demands of large communities in various sections of the Commonwealth. Justice to the people in the Southwestern part of the State would have restored to the Connellsville railroad company all its privileges to complete that great thoroughfare, but the Legislature thought otherwise. The mass of the peo ple favored the passage of a general or "free" railroad law, but their "servants" disre garded that favorable expression and defeat ed the measure asked for. That some of the members will be held to a strict account ability by their immediate constituency for their action in reference to these two meas ures, is manifest from the tone of their home papers. This is right. If the people elect men to attend to what they believe to be "of the greatest" gool to the greatest num ber," their wishes should be complied with, iinW manifestly and radically wrons. If the people's chosen representatives disregard their will, then let all such be cast aside as unworthy of conQdence, and in the future emleavor to elect better men. Should this course be adopted by the people, we should soon have a Legislature that would be en tirely above suspicion a Legi.-latuve that would only look to.the best intererts of its constituents, and the development of the fitill hidden and inexhaustible lesourccs of this great and growing Commonwealth. IIcssian America. In another column we publish an article in reference to the soil, products, etc., of Russian America, just ceded to the United States. The arti cle will be read with interest, as it embraces extracts from the pen of an' Englishman, who in 1855 advocated its 'annexation to British America ou account of its vast for ests of timber, and its commercial advanta ges on the Pacific coast. Whether Russian America is as valuable as is generally sup posed is not satisfactorily demonstrated as yet. That it is of some considerable im portance in commercial point, may be in ferred from the fact the London Times and Aeict exhibit much uneasiness on account of its cession to the United States, and de clare that England would enter a protest aeainst its nurchace by our crovernment if sue had a right to do so. But time alone can demonstrate satisfactorily the wisdom of tho purchase of this vast Northwestern territory by our authorities. So let us wait and see. . Just So! The Philadelphia Inquirer hopes the wholesale character of the gift demonstrations by members at the close of the legislative session is not to be considered a precedent. If the members choose to make the subordinate officers presents, well and good, it is only the business of the par tics concerned but a public display of mis cellaneous merchandise in the halls. of the Legislature, and making their presentation a part of the publie busiuess, is not in very good taste. Hereafter, such scenes had bet ter take p!cca at the hotels, after adjourn ment, where they would be entirely in order. The Norfolk Day-Book says the cotton crop of this year in that quarter is nearly all in. Though a fine one, it will not compare with the crop next season, judging frohj the preparations that are making. m .. All the distil 'eries in . East Tennessee are fo be closed by the government. fc . tt'HiVx iN "Tv. jVJ this is penerallv tke ca.e with the south ySrTS'' 'ri &J fcV. 'Iwind, which had been blowing for some Sasrv"-- .

A correpRonrlent of the Levant Herald, gives the following amount or tue destruc tion of Myteleue by an earthquake : On Thursday, March 6th, the weather nal hopn olnse and nnwholesonielv hot : but, as ent tenevation been visited by an earthquake About G d. m , a sharp shock, lasting some fifteen or eighteen seconds. vibratedthrough out the town, and before the faet was well realized, was followed by a second, longer and much more violent one. I happened at the moment to be down at the pier of the Austrian Lloyd's agency, and nearly half a minute before the "shock was felt on shore, saw the sea heave and foam out in the port as if a submarine explosion had taken place. Little time, however, was left for surprise. In much less time than I take to write it, the double thrill quivered through the town, and, reeling like drunken men, whole blocks of solid stone houses collapsed as if they had been card houses. Up iu the town entire streets similarly crumbled, burying their inhabitants by hun dreds in the luins. - The fine old c .stle, the cathedral, the Governor's kocnk, the prison, the mosques, and, I believe, all the consular residences, more or less yielded to the vio lence of the shook, and are, for the most part, mere heaps ut ruins. The very solid ity with which the town was built has ag gravated the disastrous effects of the calam ity a LurHred fold, both as regards the loss of of and destruction of property. The most complete ruin has fallen upou the lower part of the town, where the earth literally open, ed and swaliowed a broad belt of buildings right up from the sea to the slope inland. At this point a permanent subsidence of the ground has taken place, and the sea has ac cordingly encroached far into what, on Thursday afternoon, was one of the busiest parts of Myteleue. In fact, to sum up the disaster, more than half of our beautiful town the prettiest ar.d most lively, per haps, of all the Levant is a desert of ruins. The worst part of the calamity is, of course, the loss of life. As yet .we can only guess at the extent of this ; but it is thought that from S(M) to 1 .tKX have perished, while as many more have been maimed and wounded in every way. Up till to-day 120 bodies have, I hear, been dag out of the safer ruins ; buhow many more may be buried under others which are too dangerous to be approached can onl' be surmised. Such of the houses as are still standing have all been abandoned, and the whole surviving popu lation is now scattered over the hiil-sides and anion? the gardens outside of the town a few of them under such covers as they have been able to improvise, arid the rest bivouacking without shelter of any kind. Any attempt to describe the scene would be useless. Heart-rending rrier, panic, and confusion meet the eye o"n every side. Al ready the want of provisions is aggravating the distress, and only a speedy supply fiom Smyrna or the capital can avert great loss of life, ltut not the town ot MyUslene aloue has suffered from the great calamity ; it has scattered ruin and death throughout the whole northern part of the island. Hardly a village has escaped, and not merely prop erty but life has been destroyed and nearly tlie whole of Molivo ha fceen all but entire ly demolished, and several hundreds of its six or seven thousand inhabitants have, it is said, perished in the ruins. It is, in fact, no exaggeration to say that half the island has been laid waste, with a sacrifice of hu man life that may be reckoned by thousands. No such disaster has'ever befallen Mytelene. WHAT WILL He DO WITH IT. The Wash ington correspondent of the Herald says : Some people ask what will England do a boutthis treaty? If people who ought to know are to be believed England will do ex actly nothing. John Bui will put his hands in his breeches pockets, shrug up his shoul ders and assume art attitude of supreme in difference. One of the attaehees ot the British Legation, on being asked the other day about the matter, smiled carelessly and said, "Aw, yes, the Russian treaty. Aw, we don't cire about that, you know ; It's no affair of ours, you know." "But," sug gested the pumper, "the Rus-ian Posses sions will be of great advantage to the Uni ted States." "Aw, yes, yes ; no doubt very good for your people who want offices up there, you know ; but it's of no conse quence, you know it's of no consequence to us," with an immense emphasis on the Smnoun. The expression of this diplouiat rToots, no doubt, reflects John Bull's sen timents on the subject. The Wheat Crop. The Cincinnati Ga zette says : The new crop of wheat will come upon a market more bare than has been experienced for many years. This be ing the case, it is particularly pleasant to know that the wheat crop was never more promising. In some sections the breadth of land planted was not as large as usual, owing to the great scarcity of seed, but there is, nevertheless, a fair average of land under winter wheat, and if the harvest turns out as well as it now promises, we shall have a large yield. The crop is of course still liable' to suffer, but let suffice for the present, that the prospects are excellent and the season decidedly favorable. A Charleston dispatch' says : At a meet ing of the prominent citizens of this place, on the 2d inst., it was unanimously agreed that the Freed men should be entitled to run some one of their own color on the white man's ticket to the Convention and State Legislature. The meeting was composed, in a large proportion, of old Democrats and secessionists, and General Hampton sent a letter to it, urging the policy of giving the negroes representation. An unfortunate child of Kentucky has been burdened with nine names at the bap tismal font. Among them he bears George I. Prentice's, and that old joker earnestly wishes the boy may live to become a mem ber of Congress ! What a cruel punishment upon the mother to wish her son, with tlie long name, such degradation. ffVV Mr. McCullough expects gold will fall below the present mark, and that he does not take much stock in the ex citement growing out of European war ru mors. A ruotion ttrike from the Constitution of New Jersey the word white failed in the House by a vote of 20 to 35. Thirteen Re publicans voted in the negative. Eussian America. p-Wthp most satisfactory description to be found of the vast territory recently purchased from Russia by our Government ! is given in a pamphlet published 111 ISoo, by j A. R. ROChe, Ot yueOeC. -HUS yampiuci. ("Russian America and the present W ar ) was written witU a view of urging the Brit ish Government to aid in fitting out an ex pedition for the conquest of Russian Amer ica, and its annexation to the British pos sesions, but the war with Russia came to a close in the following year, and the project, it ever seriously i-utertained in England, was of course uo longer thought of. e quote frofii the pamphlet a description of some ot the features ei me luiiitu.j ju.-i ceded to the United States : " Ji'ith a coast upon the Pacific of some fifteen hundred miles in length, indented by numerous sounds and capacious harbor, and studded with many large lslsnds. of consid erable resources, it extends Lack, for about J one tuousana Holes ot that coast, 10 a uis- j tsnce of nine hundred miles, and for the j remaining five hundred miles ot the coast, to thirty miles, tae latter oeing tne portion in front of our possessions which it cuts off from the Pacific ; while the Peninsula)!' Alaska, about fifty miles in breadth, stretch es out in the Pacific for upwards of three hundred miles, the whole territory compris ing a surface of l ine hundred thousand square miles. It is thus about sixteen times the size of England. It contains many mountain ranges of great height, and fii c valleys, magnificently watered and fertilized by larce lakes and rivers ; the mountain ranges in the upper and broader portion of the territory, having a transverse direction, and therefore sheltering the valleys from northerly winds, which in that quarter are cold winds in summer, while, extraordinary as it may appear to many, in winter they invariably cause a rise in the thermometer. At both these seasons southerly winds pro duce effects directly opposite to the former, being warm winds in summer and cold winds in winter. A great portion of" this vast re gion (in some places to within a short dis tance of the Arctic Circle,) is covered with forests of the largest and most valuable trees. Even upon some of the islands of Prince William's Sound, in 61 degrees north lati tude, where it might, be expected that the influence of the wind and sea would prevent or retard the growth of tree, Cook found the Canadian and spruce nine of a large size ; and of the country adjacent to Norton Sound, lying in 64 degrees and 55 minutes north latitude, he savs: 'From the elevated spot on which .Mr. King surveyed the sound he could distinguish many extensive valleys, with rivers running through them, well wooded, and bounded by hills of a gentle ascent, and moderate height. One of these rivers appeared to be of considerable siz-3. Some of the people, who penetrated beyond this into the coutry, found the trees larger the farther they advanced.' In speaking of the resources of Russian America, Sir John Richardson, in his work upon the 'Arctic searching expedition,' quotes Bongard with regard to one portion of it. who says that the 'hill of Westvoi,' near Norftilk sound, in north latitude 5S degrees, which is 3X feet, French measure, in height, is clothed to its summit by a dense forest of pines and spruces, some of which acquire a circumfer ence of twenty-one feet, and the prodigious length of one hundred and sixty feet, and that the hollow trunk of one of these trees, made into a canoe, is able to contain thirty men with all their household effects. Sir John Richard adds : 'The climate of Sitka' ' (the name of the bay as well as the island upon which is situated New Archangel, the diief port of the Russian company, lying in 57 degrees north latitude,) 'is very much milder than that of Europe on the same parallel, the cold of winter being neither se vere nor of long continuance. The humid ity of the atmosphere gives astonishing vig or to the vegetation, but although the forest nourished by a very moist atmosphere and comparatively high mean temperature, is equal to that of the richest woodlands of the Northern" United Spates, yet corn does not ripen there. This humidity of the at mosphere, which is occasioned by the sur rounding sea, is doubtless the cause of c)rn not coming to perfection at Sitka : for some distance in the interior of the continent, as I far east as the Mnckenzi". in the territory occupied by the Hudson Bay Company, tin cereals are successfully cultivated up to 60 degrees north latitude, "and occasionally in some spots situated 5 degrees further north.' In the neigh'iorhood of the Mackenzie, Sir John Richardson says that 'Fort Laird of the sixtieth parallel, may be considered as the northern limit of the economical of wheat,' as in the interior of Russian Amer ica the climate must he of a dryer nature than upon the seaboard, and probably mow in the extreme, that is, colder in winter and warmer in summer, much of the inferior may be well adapted for the growth of the cereals, although thev cannot le successfully cultivated 51 the Russian establishments upon the coast. The harbor of Sitka, and several other, fine harbors are open during the whole winter ; thus showing an extraor dinary contrast to the opposite coasts of Asia, which are ice-lmund for three parts of the year. Even as high up s Behring's Straits great difference of climate exists be tween the coasts of the Asiatic and Ameri can continents. "In his 'Travels Round the World,' Sir George Simpson remarks that, "although at some points Behring's Straits are only forty-five miles wide, in the general appear ance of the two coasts there is a marked dif ference, the western side being low, flat,and sterile, while the eastern is well wooded, and in every respect better adapted than the oth er for the sustenance of both man and beast. Moreover, the soil and climate improve rap idly on the American shore as one descends, and at Cook's inlet, (in 60 degrees N. lati tude,) potatoes may be raised with ease, al though they hardly ripen in any part of Kainpstschatka, which extends nearly ten degrees south. Thus, both in soil and cli mate, the great portion of Russian-America, bordering upon the sea, is not inferior to the eastern coasts of America and Asia, whether lying in the same, or in a much lower parallel. Sitka, for instance, which is in 58 degrees north latitude, has a climate almost as temperate as that of London, in 51 degrees north latitude, (the mean annual temperature of the former leing45 degrees 44 minutes, and that of the latter 49 degrees 70 minutes,) and it has also about as mild a winter as the southern portion of Japan, situated in a much lower latitude. The su periority, however, .of .the soil and climate of Russian-America, over the soil and cli mate of the opposite voasCs of Asia, has been observed from the time of Kotzebue up to the present moment. "But we have still more recent evidence of the comparative mildness of the climate upon the American sidi, even in a higher latiruue. At Point Parrow, in 71 . degrees north, where there is a large Esquimaux village, and where Her Majesty's ship Plo ver wintered in 1852-', her commander, Lieut. Pullen, reported that during the en tire in;er the fall of snow did ngt exceed one foot' in depth, and that on the colde.-t day the thermometer only m: ked 43 degrees below zero; a degree ol cold not much greater than that which was experienced Queliec lat winter, where. hIki. the entire quantity of snow which fell during that pe riod was about fifteen times greater than that r -ported as above to have fallen during the winters of I?52 at Point Barrow, sir1 uated 20 degrees further north. ' Of the many large rivers which flow through Russian-America, none of them have been explored to their sources ; but several of them, such as the Colville. the Stikine, tlie Yuken or Kwichpack, and the Kukokwin. are supposed to run a course of upwards of one thousand miles, and to be navigable for a considerable distance. From their breadth as well a their length, and the volume of water Vhich thev discharge into the sea," they may certainly be included among rivers of the first class. The Col ville, which was dirfovered by Simpson and Deesu since the Convention of l-'-W, is two -1 - ... 1 - . t , . : .j . - nines wiae at its mourn 1:1111? anit ci-.i where Capt. McClure observed its influence twelve or fourteen miles out at sea, the wa ter at that distance being of a dirty mud color, and scarcely salt. Tne Stikine enters tho Pacific at 5o degrees 50 minutes north latitude, where it is three miles wide, and at a distance of CO miles from the sea has a width of one mile ; but its source is in Brit ish Territory. Of the Yukon, or Kwich pack, Sir John Richardson says:' 'It rises to the wet of the Rocky mountains, not far from the .Union of the Francis and Lew is, which forms the Pelly, flows tirst to the north, and after receiving a large tributa ry named the Porcupine, to the westward, falls into Behring's Sea,' and that 'in GO degrees north latitude, and 147$ degrees west longitude,' which is about one thou sand miles 'from its mouth. 'It is one mile and a quarter wide. These three mag nificent rivers, falling into different seas, probably represent three distinct river sys tems of the northwest corner of this conti nent, each being fed by numerous smaller, yet considerable, streams, and the three to gether draining an extent of courtry much larger than the whole of Canada. The Rat River, mentioned by Mr. Ibister, of the Hudson Bay Company's service, in a com munication to the Royal Geographical So eie'3 flows from Russian-America through the Rocky mountains at ti e first complete break in the chain in 67 degrees north lati tude into the Mackenzie of the British ter ritory, the latter having, according to Sir Johu Richardson, a course of 3,SiHJ miles, (Si0 longer than the jit. Lawrence ;) and an unbroken navigation, fit for steamboats, from its entrance in the Arctic Sea to the Portage of the Drowned, a distance of from twelve to thirteen hundred miles. In addi tion to the Russian territory being every where drained by the finest rivers, it con tains many large lakes communicating with the former, and is indented with numerous deep and spacious harbors, and also by sev eral extensive arms of the sea. Of the lat ter, Cook's inlet, runs upwards of two hun dred miles into the land, these lakes and riv ers, and- these inlets and harbors, jnay be viewed as very important features of the country. They not only assist to temper the climate (the former by draining the land) which generally shapes towards the sea and towards the Mackenzie, and the latter by the salt atmosphere, which their waters dif fuse through the interior, but they tend to enrich the soil upon the banks, by a short period of overflow in ' the spring, and may be made to afford facilities for inter-communication, tendering accessible the most re tired and irost sheltered valleys, and for the establishment and active prosecution of an outward commerce. Large Crops Looked foil Those who pretend to be wcathenvisc, predict that we will be blessed with heavy crops the ensuing season. It has been noticed, says the Frank lin 'ositon. that whenever a heavy fall of snow occurred about the time of full moon, in February, large crops and an a bnndance of everything ore sure to follow. We trust that in the present instance there will be no deviation from the custom. Rich and poor will be gratified to see large sup plies the coming summer. Louis nev of t Schadc, of Washington, the Attor I10 Andeisonville monster Captain irz. has written a long letter addressed to the American people in vindication of the felon's memory. He may succeed in tick ling the fancj' of the south,. but similar writings Leaped mountains high, will fail to create any better opinion in the northern mind of the barbarous prison keeper, who only partly expatiated his horrid crimes in an ignominious death. The Methodist conference in session in New York city have adopted a report, dep recating the increase of woi Idly amusements among us such as dancing, attendance at theaters, operas, circuses, negro minstrels, and the taking of such diversions as cannot be used in the name of the Lord Jesus. Resolutions were unanimously adopted, call ing upon all Christian men and women to discountenance and refrain from all such pastimes. Tho drought in Cub i has greatly injured the crops ; the planters will be content to secure a two-thirds crop, and they cannot realize even that much unless rain sets in soon. A great many wealthy planters and merchants have failed, and, as usual, polit cal discontent follows social and commercial disaster. Crime is very rife, and suicides and murders are increasing with frightful rapidity. Foreign immigration into Virginia is des tined to be a failure. The system of treat ment practiced toward slaves is too deeply en grafted upon the Southern mind to render them capable of treating- white laborers as they should. The present generation must pass away before the South can adapt itself to the requirements of white labor. A panic occurred "in Philadelphia schools on Friday over a rumor that colored chil dren were to be admitted teachers being informed that if such was to be the fact their white pupils would withdraw. A Singular Case. The Fort Wayne (Ind.) Gazette gives the following account ot the recovery of his speech and hearing by a boy named Stanley Marshall, who lost both in consequence of an attack of lung lever about a year and a half ago: " A week or ten days ago, George Lloyd and others, who had for some time before taken a good deal of interest in the boy, conceiwd the idea of restoring his hearing by means of souks violeut shock. They fired a idstol over his head, ami within a few inches of his car, but it made no impres sion. Some one told him that a liberal use of liquor would cure him, and taking a no tion to try the experiment, last Monday af ternoon he pawned his pocket-book for a glass of whisky. Mr. Lloyd coming in (at Strong's eating house) andfinding him tip s'.", determined to carry tho experiment fur ther, and giving him more whisky, until he was quite drunk, and then commenced a rubbing and shaking that shortly resulted in return of hearing. He rubbed the ears of the boy until the skin was broken, and shook him until he was almost as tired of the exercise as the boy was, or rather would have been if sober.- Suddenly something seemed to bieak loose in his chest or throat. There was a report like the popping of a cork from a bottle of mineral waterand the boy 'called Lloyd a "fool"' the first word he hud spoken for over a year, lie soon began to talk more freelv, his speech coming back in broken accents like tho?e of a chiio. lie went to iea quite sick mat nigLt. and woke un the next morning ouite stiff and sore from the harsh treatment of the day before, but able to talk and bear nearly as well as ever, the boy says that when his speech returned it seemed as if a weight was lifted from his lungs he felt as it something jn him had "busted" and got in both cars. The editor of the Christian Almanac for 1CG7 has compiled the following statistics of the hipiscopal Church in the united states : Dioceses, 34 ; bishops, 44 ;-,priests and dea cons, 2.305 ; ordinations : deacons, 98 ; priests, 07 ; candidates for holy orders, 226 ; churches consecrated, ",0 ; communicants, 161.224; Sunday SchooU teachers, 17,570; scholars, 157,813; contributions, $3,051, 669 64. . A New York lady died some weeks ago in a distant settlement near Lake Superior. Before her death she requested that her re mains should be interred in Greenwood: and her husband carried her corpse several hundred miles in an open sleigh to the near est railway station, whence it was conveyed to New York, and safely deposited iu the resting place she had designated.
