This distinguished and popular Divin?, Bishop of
the Diocese of rittsburg, has been appointed to the
new Diocese of Uric. The :;ccep!a ice of this no
post was voluntary on the part of Mr. iH'a.vMit.
This-announcement will be received with regret
by the members of the Catholic Chinch throughout
the Pittsburg Diocese. Ikshf-p O Co.nneh was un
doubtedly one of the ablest men within the p.a'.e o:
the Church, and his ppu!aiity was unbounded. An
ardent attachment to the c.ui'.e of Christianity promp

The late advices from China brought out by the
Franklin communicate- the news cf the sudden
appearance of a Ihissian somuhon in the waters
t the port ofllong Ivotig. It was saiel there that
Japan was the ultimate destination of the ships.
The Overland Rigiste-r of July 7, alludes to the
fa--t of their arriv al in the following terms :
T'K llt'ssiAX SQt Atip.ox. On Saturday moni
ii;g the ll'issian screw tender, the Vostock, of
fjtir guns, and on Sumhij-, th llussian frigate,
Dallas, of fifty-two guns, arrived in the lmrlwr.
The appeal ancc. of these vessels combined with
some I aragrr.j h in the la.-t oveiland papers,
have .-et the tpiid mmc.syiy 't-'V.estion is.
what brings them Iterc i to wlach niti
variety of aiiowcrs. The ..Singapore Free
l-'fcss
says the frigate is going on to Kamsehaika to
join the Dvvina of ten guns, Capt. Bissaralxgy,
Avhieh vessel the Cape papers say, goes to Kam
sediatka l.y way of .Sidney. S;me in Hong Kong
answer the question by referring to the follow ing
paragraph :
A letter from St. rctcrs.L;,:g of the Coth ult.,
con t f-.ims the following statement: There is much
take in the best informed circles of a secret mis
shm of a Kussian envoy, sent to China overland,
and who, it is said, has aire ady arrived at Kia
llr.i, a town belonging jointly to the two govern
ments. It is confidently reported that the ob
ject of his mission is to oiler to the sovereign of
the Celestial Empire the aid of Uu.Ss.ia for the
purj ose of tjiielling the insurrection in his do-
mini'jns.
From this they infer that the presence here of
Utissian ships of war is the fort runner of another
violent suppression of a natiemdity that they
are intended to assist the Tartar government in
putting an end to the rebellion.
"Which of these answers is the correct one, if
cither be at till near the truth, we have no means
of kno wing, and it is rery likely we shall remain
ignorant until time shows. Russia being little
of a maratime nation, having liule or no com
merce in the Pacific, even from her own territo
ries, the appearance of a ship of war of that na
tion, a rare occurrence, naturally gives rise to
strange surmises ; and taken in conjunction with
the present state of affairs in Cliimi, and the fact
that our brother of Russia never hesitates to hire
or lend, fir a consideration, his farce to extinguish
anything in the shape of popular aspirations, the
second answer to the question may not be far
from the truth. Yet, alter all, the vessels may
be merely meant as a squaelron of cLitrvatiau on
ttic pioeectiings cf the fleets cf other nations that
are mustering thick m these waters, one of which
nations, France, had as htilo to do on this side
of China as Russia. If, then, France ami its ru
ler, which have shown themselves as determine'.!
foes to national liberty as Russia, have escaped
without suspicion, perhaps it would be as well to
let this lieet show its true character before we
call out ' wolf." One thing, we think, is very
certain,, that if we have to cry cut " wolf in ear

strongly recommend Mr. Cobde-n and ail the oth

Railroads TLeir Necessity as a
Eleans cf Wealth.
In the present stale of railroad progress it
would appear supererogatory to attempt a dem
onstration of the necessity of the "iron road,"
politically, commercially, ami Stacially ; erfchow
that facility of intcrcommrtnication increases
such communication, creates business, l-ge-ls
sociality, tends to the dissemination of enlighten
ed views, and by uniting nil thc-se advantages,
promotes the growth, wealth, ami prosperity of
the country.
It is a self-evident preapositiou that accessibili
ty promotes opu!ution. The history of ecir coun
try is an enduring exemplification of this fact.
As facilities of iulereouse increased, th.- area cf
our .settlements extended, until the entire conti
nent litis be t u embraced within our borders.
Citie s and towns have sprung up in the midst of
the wihl e-rness, and the wilds have been made- to
blossom like the ro.se ; and if canals, rivers, and
plaiikand Macadamized roads the restricted
means of intercommunication enjoyed bef.re t he
introduction ef railroad, have sufficed to render
this country so pnspertus, w hat may we not an
ticipate when the vast undertakings now projec
ted shall have bee'.i completed ? u he:i the aurif
erous shores e f the Pacific shall be conuecteel with
the rocky barriers of the Atlantic by iron bands,
and the treasures of the East and ihe islands of
the sens shall be tran.-peirted thereupon, to find a
ready market among the dwellers of the West ?
That radroads w ill hereafter ba the mean.; of
intcrcommumerttion is equally evident. They
are the- best and cluf.pt si meat.s fbr promoting
accessiblhiy ; they can be bu-Ii wn-itver th
people w ill it : and by their m::,s time and dis-ta.i'-e
can almost be annihilated. T!;- expt.ii

lly this table it appears that a ton of corn is
estimated not to be worth hauling, by wagon,
when 170 miles fi-eim market ; while at the same
distance upon a line of railroad, it would be
worth 1 22 20. A ton of wheat 23o miks from
market is not worth the hauling Ly wagon, bat
by railroad it would be worth 44 55. Thus, as
land may be near or more remote from lines of
railroad is its value enhance el over and above the
value had there been no such railroad. This is
an impe.rtant consideration to fanners when call
ed upon to aitl in the construction of railroads,
and should influiT.ee their actions in the mat
ter. While it thus elevelops the physical resources
of the country, and by the ready means of inter
communication it affords, makes distant points
accessible, the railroad is also intimately connec
ted with Commerce, ami with all its powers and
results, is peculiarly its agent, and has exerted a
jotential influence in the development ami ex
tension of modern tratle, and is destined to work
still greater changes and more vast achievements
in lie-half of the Commerce of the future.
Such being the fact, and railroads being the
necessity of the age," vc say let them be built
where ver they can le with lta-souable prospect of
success ; but in railroads, as in every other line
of business, judgment fhoulel lie exercised, and
rival Iim 3 of minor routes should lac avoided, at
least until such time as the wants of the commu
nity call for an exte nsion of traveling fioulitie-s.
This competition of rival lines will be one cf the
strongcsd obiect i'.ns to railroads, in the construc
tion and prosperous management e.f which imited
eff.t t is a jh ci.liar'y nccc-sary ingredient. Cin-

witlt safety place full reliance upon our reports.
They have each a tloulle-bari tiled opc-rn-glnss,
and, of course, thus armed, they cannot fail of
discovering it at the earliest moment. We have
as 3"ct had no tidings from them ; there fare, the
comet is not iu sight. If you shoulel hear any

king angrily around auu.ng the coiisulhuioiis,
and seeming to have Some altercation witlrthe

P. P. S. .Monday, 21, A. M. Another repor
ter has just arrived from the Eaiting Obscrvato-:
ry. He says that after levelling his opcra-e hiss
for several hours, and following the Comet all
over Creation, he noticed a pause-. Looking a
gain, ho discovered its tail hard twisted around
the horn of a dilemma, ami dots not think it veill
be able to get oft until next week.
a vt. .-'T-it.vj. j snort time ago we noticed
in several of our exchanges a .statement of a we-n-elei
i'ul comjiositor somewhere out West, who had
set up S5,m.U cms of typo, in six days, workina
eleven hours and a half a day. The A',;,'o,;,-
Democrat remarks that the fastest composuor in
this country is now, ami has been for some time
working upon that paper, in New Yoik City.
During the last six days, working nine hours a
day, he has setup 60.0o2 ems. Ihis week's
work, at 32 cents per thousand cms, would a
mount toS2S,04, although he may- have "set
up" small type, which would make it much more.
The name of the compositor is William A Pace
This is certainly slicking ty, -,,, and we
have a notion that he can beat "any man at the
business.

The- editor has seen the lsuly, and describes bet
as young, comely, eelm-ated and sprightly. She
came from Kentucky, and is tarrying in the
mountains with a view- of perfe. -ling bn-title to
sotue thousand of acres of wild land, which tlc
setndtd to her from her ancestors, to whom it
vva- patented fer Revohttiotiary services, but i.s
maw claimed ly a land pirate vvho formerly a -ted
as her agent. To defend her rights, she j "rocee.l
t'i " solitary and alone" to the disputed territo
ry, made a clearing, built a log cabin and located
a tenant. She always carries one of Colt's re
volvers, and thus armed, roams fearlessly over
the mountains following paths seldom ttvd save
by. the panther ami U-ar. A suit for the land is
pending.
