The foreign summary of The " Y Herald
Ole spnndrnt Of the London papers says
that il Russia really inten led war, her army il

men,
Yet an ,tIler: The only real ficul'y in the
way of continuing negotiations is the chance of
a collision between the two armies, but, fortu-
naely, the Danube runs between lhem-a broad
enough guarantee Of peace"
The Oest Deutsche Post wri, IS thus: /" Should
Turkey rem lin obs mate, war must inevitably
ensue and should the Russian armies triumph,
the question Of the East would be more compile
Gated than ever The cabinets, certainly, have
not los sight of This fact, and therefore the ne

which the London Times cniphutically
The DAILY .Ne,es, on the contrary, gives con-
siderable prominence to the statement of t Q
De5ats, and uses il as the text of 4 leading arr.
Gle. The heads of the Debats statement are
that the English ambassador must insist on the
Sultan accepting the original form of the note
that if he will not do SO war will be at his own
risk if he does accept, the British feet viii
pu, down any insurrection that may break out in
in consequence 1t does not ap.
pear how far France is pledged to this line of
policy.
The Paris Pays states that the French gov
entertains confident hope that the diff
ference between Russia and Turkey will be
arranged without recourse to arms. The Patrie
adds that the new memorandum Of the Russian
cabinet is very moderate in tone-t that the Car
IS yet willing to accept the original note of the
four powers, and will not, under any circum-
stances, comm nee hostilites.
1t will be observed that all these fanciers are
n favor Of peace From them all however no
satisfactory information can be gained, and the
question though more likely lately, to result in
war on account of public opinion in Turkey, is
n almost as much doub. as ever. Six weeks
more will pull up the curtains, and then we shall
zee what we shall see.

RAILROAD BRIDGE OVER THE MISSISSIPPI
1t is at last announced that the railroad bridge
over the Mississippi at Rock Island, is located
let out t, con ract, and to be finished by the Isl
day of December, 1854. The contracting par
ties are Messrs. John Warner & Co, for the
stone work, an Messrs. Stone g. Boomer, for
The supersruc,ure. They are represented as
being energetic, and fully capable of accom-
rGshinn that s,upendous work in the time
stated.
1t will be commenced in Rock Island and will
cross ''the slough or east branch Of the river,
on curve up siream, by three spans or arches
each $50 feet in length and will striket the Island
above the old fort ground. The curve will be
continued regularly across the Island to the bank
Of the main channel, which will be crossed by
five straight spans each $50 feet long, and a
draw for the passage of vessels. The length of
the main bridge will be about 1910 feet from,
the Island to the Iowa shore.
We fervently trust that this great work will
be carried through, as ant cipated. 1t will be no
common praise that young state is the frs
to bridge the creates! river Of the world.

The annual meeting of the Stockholders OF this Com

inst. We have not yet received the official report of
the transactions Mr. E. A. Law presided and there
was full attendance of members, whose manifest
interest in the proceedings, is favorable augury of
the prompt accomplishments of their enterprise. -
The late Board of Directors was reelected with one
OF two changes at the request of the gentlemen retr

Hon. Frederick p. Stanton.

In the Washington correspondence of the New
York Journal of Commerce we find the following:
:. MIR. F. P. Stanton has, for several years, been
laboring. as chairman of the committee of Naval
Affairs of the House, for the reforms which are
now to be taken up and advocated by the depart
ment The labors of Mr.. Stanton are not, therefore
lost, but were the means of preparing the public
mind for thorough overhauling of the navy"
We most cheerfully endorse what is here said of
Mr.. Stanton of Tennessee. AS chairman of the Ma
val committee of the House of Representatives, this
gentleman devoted his talents, influence and untir.
ing industry to the obtainment of udieous reforms
in the navy of the United States. MIR. Stanton
will, we have no doubt, during the coming session,
renew his enlightened and patriotic labors to pro-
mote the improvement and welfare of this important
branch of the public service, and his efforts WILL we

able chief of the Navy Department.-Wash Union

laid at Havana by the Captain General with consid-
cradle ceremony, but no popular enthusiasm They
have bull fights at Cardenas, and reviews of the

The Greensboro Patriot of the 18th gives the fol-
lowing account of the progress oil the western portion
of this great public work:
"On the large contract under the general SUI
nervison of Cen Joel Mclean. IA sections or nearly
is miles extending from within the border OF Ala-
nance county to Greensboro the grading IS done,
with the exception of about one mile and quarter
where the hands are now engaged, and some OF the
sections are trimmed up ready for reception Inc To-
tai amount of work on these Is miles was estimated
by the Engineer at S57 10; by the end OF next
month at least 10000 will be worked out.
The contract of Cole s. Mebane, from Greensboro,
two sections west, can be completed IN lew weeks
as soon as the hands are put upon IT,
The six miles contract of Mendenhail & Co. is mn
isbed. with the exception of filling up al Inc
ahutments OF the bridge over South Buffalo, winch
cannot be done until the bridge is completed.
The contract of Reich Co.. we learn, Is finished
and that of Shelly s. Field nearly 20 with the exceP-
ton OF fills at the river where mason work is IN pro-
er r. Krkman l. Co., and Welch & Co., will be
nearly done by the Isl Jan'y. Irwin & Avery have
finished There is no doubt of the entire completion
of the grading through this county long before 1t Will
be possible TO get the iron to this point ..,,
In relation to the work in Alamance. the Hlllsboro
Recorder remarks "that several contractors on the
second division have completed their work, viz =
Messrs Trollinger, Nebane, Murble and Faucett that
others have theirs nearly completed; that the remain
der pushing their work forward with the proper
energy and that the whole of the grading will doubt
less be completed so that no delay will be occasion
ed in placing the supersructure when the compa'
| ny is ready for it.
West OF us, through Davidson. Rowan, Cabarru'
and to Charlotte, learn, generally, that the
work is in gratifying state of forwardness; but we
hope to hear something particular from the pa
pers along the line west.
The Indications are al present that the grading will
all be completed in all interior country before the
iron can be got on to it, Old Rip may be lazy old
fellow, but the grading of our railroad shows that he
has some hard working sons"

Circus L1rERArURE-We beg leave to call at
tention to this much neglected department of Eng
lish literature. We have people who write for the
stage and for the press for everything, in fact, but
for the ring. Most decidedly, the jokes awfully
stale. They are ancient; they smell old enough to
be Joe Millers. only they are not good enough. To
our certain knowledge and belief, the chalk faced
man, with the spotted legs; who did" the funny
for the Circus here last week. said exactly the very
words that his ilustrous predecessor did four
or five years ago, and in the very same way. These
Clowns the very Bourbons of saw-dust they
never learn any hing, and they never forget any
thing. Really, they don't seem to have much
wider role than the learned dog, although it is pos
sible that they may be susceptible of higher cul-
tivaton. "Young America " must take hold of
Clownology it must advance with the spirit of the
age; it must have literature of it's own it must
teach the young idea how 10 shoot. All of which is
respectfully submitted.
