VIRGINIA AND TENNESSEE RoAD.-We have
seen the able Report of Mr.. Garnett, the dis
tinguished Engineer-n-chief of this great
Road, which presents very gratifying state
ment of the condition and prospects of the
Company. The Engineer says "it is conf
IDENTITY hoped that the cars will reach Abing-
don, and perhaps the Tennessee line, by the
end of next year." This is n most cheering
announcement to the people of Fast Tennes-
see, and particularly to the friends and stock
holders of the railroads in this end of the
State. By that time the East Tennessee and
Georgia Road will be completed to Knox
vile, and that portion of the East Tennessee
and Virginia Road lying beyond Knoxville to
the Holston river will also be in active ope-
ration. There will then be but link of
ninety miles Qhe remainder of the last Ten
ncssee and Virginia Road) to complete, which
will be done in 1866 So that in two years
more the entire connection will be made, and
the great Southern mail, and travellers from
New York to New Orleans, will be passing
through East Tennessee.

From CHINA.-By the Arctic we have de-
tails Of the news from China as late rs the
Goth of August. Twas reported that there
had been hard fighting in the Honan province;
but the rebels forced their way through with
out apparently sustaining any severe reverses,
and had crossed the Yellow River into
Shangtang province the capita! of which,
Tsi-Dan-feo, it is given out, had fallen. The
insurgents retain Nankn and Chin-kang- foo.
At the latter place there had been a smart
engagement with the lmperialists in which
the latter were completely routed, and obliged
to retire, the insurgents taking place to-
wards Soochah, which caused great cunster-
nation in that city, which would no doubt
shortly be obliged to submit. Annoy, up to
the 10th Of August, remained in possession
of the rebels, but She Imperaists were to
make another effort, in force to retake it, in
few days. In an attempt TO take the Impe-
rial fleet, the rebels were unsuccessful, and
very unfortunate in having several of their
vessels driven on the Mandarins' war junks,
and taken, and all on board were bcheaded.
The place had been visited by severe ty-
phoon, causing great damage to houses and
property. Letters from Canton mention that
the commander of the Imperial troops ut the
Melin Pass had sent TO Canton for assistance
and instructions how to act, as the rebels
were marching on the pass.
In addition, we have the following taken
from circulars received in this city:
SHANGHAI, Aug 5.-The main force of the
rebels appears to have gone north, not, how
ever, as heretofore, abandoning their previous
cOnquests. Nankin and Ching Kcang both
continue strongly occupied, and the Imperial
st force.are quite paralyzed; it would seem
the rebels have only TO advance on Pekin 10
take it and end the Tartar dynasty; that
however, will not suffice to restore confidence

trade

ST. LOUIS, Nov l.-FrOm The Plains
important Indian TreatieS.-A party of citi-
zens arrived here last night, from the Plains,
who went out with Major Fitzpatrick, sent to
distribute annuties to the Indians. Major
Fitzpatrick succeeded in making treaties with
the Camanches and Kiowas, stipulation to
give the two tribes for a limited PERIOD
$4,000 per annum. In return the tribes
grant TO the United States a right of way
over their land for rail or other roads; free
passage unmoested, of all ernigrants, and
liberty to establish military forts on the Mis-
souri,, &c.
The Indians also further stipulate to sur
render immediately all American or Mexican
prisoners, and maintain strict peace towards
American citizens.

that very interesting debate sprang up in
the House of Representatives, on the LIST

Bailey, harrington and Wisener, each made
an argument to show that the present Legis-

resolution to prescribe the times and places
of holding the elections for Judges and At

Cooke, Sykes and Buford took opposite
ground.

THE UNITED STATES AND GREAT BRITAIN.
The National Intcllgencer of the 9Th inst,
in an able article, very properly rebukes the
tone of certain recent editorials, in the
Washington Union, relative to Great Britain
and her alleged interference in Cuban affairs
There is, as yet, no evidence on the subject,
to warrant such language and imputation, in
paper generally recognised as the organ of
the national government, in reference to a
friendly power; and the National Intelligent
Ger and other reliable journals discrcdit the
fact, which the Union has made the basis of
its onslaught For ourselves, we believe that
the policy Of Great Britain is decidedly pa,
cfc, as well generally, rs in especial refer
cncc TO this country.

THE MoSEY PASIc.-The panic in the New
York money market seems to have passed
away. Confidence has been revived and
stocks are gradually rising. The Banks are
still disposed to be extremely cautious, but
money can easily be had on good paper, and
at fair terms in the streets. In Baltimore the
pressure still continues, and the Banks are
gradually restricting their discounts, thus
seriously cr,mpng all persons who have to
depend upon Bank facilities for business pur-
poses The Philadelphia North American,
says that in that city, money continues in
active demand ut extreme rates. We quote

,-S" The Washington correspondent of
the N. Y. Courier estimates that receipts from
customs for the fiscal year of 1853, will be
S73,s5O,OCO, and the receipts from public
lands and other sources S6,20OO0O, thus
making the total revenue equal to $SO,O5O,-
900. This is an enormous aggregate, and
will afford the government ample funds to-
wards reducing its debt The amount Of
debt received and cancelled this week at the
treasury, it is said, will amount to over Il
million OF dollars.

THE EMPEROR OF RUssTA.-The New
York Mirror chronicles the following story
of the Emperor of Russia:
"a friend of ours, who has Just returned
from the East, was recently present at u re-
view of 100000 Russian troops by the En-
peror, whom he describes as perfect speci-
men of the physical man; in height six feet
three, and admirably proportional, with snow
white hair and ruddy countenance He was
plainly dressed in dark green lrock, with
black chapeau without feathers; and mounted
on coal black charger, of immense size, the
Car looked every inch n king
As the troops were passing before him he
suddenly raised his hand as signal for n
halt, when he dismounted, walked up to
private in the ranks, and asked him to unbut.
ton his coat. On finding that the soldier was
without shirt, the Emperor promptly order
ed the officers of the company to Siberia, and
the officers of the regiment were instantly de-
graded to the rank Of privatcs. Some two
hours afterwards Nicholas made another in
spection of the condition of the soldiers; and
finding all right, promoted every officer in the
division, comforting the orders with his own
hand, 1t is this kind of discipline that makes
the Russian army one of the most efficient
in the world, and the head of it the idol Of
the common soldier"

JOHN VAN buren, IN THE FIELD.-The Sa-

The Freesoi supporters of the administration
had a grand time of it in New York, on FL
day night last. Cannon were fired, drums
beaten, letters were read from Mr.. Dix and
others, speeches made by John Van Buren,
and his Freesoil conireres, and dcmonstra-
ton made generally in behalf of the Admin
istration, by government officers, clerks, tide
walters, office seekers, "short boys" and every
other species of the "Soft-sheI" family. The
indefatigable Capt. Rynders was there, with
other subterranean Knickerbockers of the
pugiIistic school. The b'hoys applauded
contincntly while Prince John denounced
Charles O'Conner and Judge Bronson, the
men who had the rare courage to resist the
dctation of tyrannical Cabinet Ministers in
matters which they had no rightru concern.

AN INDEPENDENT JOURYAL.-The subjoin
ed article from the Columbia South Carroll
Man, Il democratic journal, evinces Il degree
of independence which we are not accustom-
ed to see in the press of that party. 1t affords
us pleasure to commend such evidences of
patriotism:
"Party Fealty-The Administrdtion-The
time has passed when mans or a papers
devotion to political principles was indicated
by the abuse hcaped upon opponents oT by
adhesion to the leaders OF the party profess
sing such principles. The press Of the cOun-
try seems to be passing out Of the control Of
mere party hacks into the hands Of more in
dependent and honest men. The newspaper
comments on the interchange of the cpistIcs
between Secretary Guthrie and Judge Bron-
son, and the removal Of the latter, show that
some of the democratic presses of the coun-
try are truer opponents of Il righteous and
sound public opinion than we had reason to
hope for or expect. 1t betokens good to the
country, if not to the party, for the triumph
of true principles has to be achieved by the
Independence of the press.

THE FORCEs OF RUssIA-A London cor
respondent of the National lnteIligencer says
that u little calculation respecting the militia
ry power of Russia, makes the force which
the Car could employ in European war,
without the reserve, the local garrisons, or
the army in the Caucasus being in any way
reduced, to consist of 1868 battalions of in
fantry, 46S squadrons of cavalry, and 900
guns or, in other words, in the eyentualty
of European war, Russia could operate
with force Of 100000 men and 1000 guns.
without laying itself open to Great Britain,
Sweden, or to the Caucasus. In clse of n
great ,car, Russia could operate, by means of
her first, second and third reserves, and the
Cossack and Tartar forces, with ONE MILLION
of combatants and with 1900 guns. This is
the estimate of Prussian officer of great
experience on the point in question.
