RAILROADS IN PENNSYLVANIA SUBSCRIBING
FURTHER New WoRK.-The Philadelphia North
American says: "The Finance Committee Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Committee have de
termined as far as practicable, to suspend, fol-
the present, all further contracts for new con-
struction work; and there is good reason to be
lieve that the Directors of the North Pennsylva
MIA Railroad Company, at their next meeting,
will adopt the same policy. This course hav.
ing been already adopted by the Reading Rail-
road Company, those three great corporations
will cease to be competitors against our ner-
chants for the purchase Of money, inducing
thereby the most exorbitant rates; and if their
example should be followed by all other improve
ment companies, and business men generally
would adopt system of rigid curtailment the
community here would soon be relieved from
the pressure which now prevails"

France.

t The Emperor has just issued the following
address to his army in the East. 1t is 4 curious
production; the idea Of making the Russians fly
across the Danube at the very presence Of the
French and English troops, is rather an ori5i
nal one:
SOLDIERS and Sailors Of the Army Of the
Eastl You have not fought but already you
have otained signal success Your presence
and that of the English troops have suficed to
compel the enemy to recross the Danube, and
the Russian vessels remain ingloriousy in their
ports. You have not yet fought and already
you have struggled courageousIy against death
scourge, fatal though transitory, has not ar
rested your ardor. France and the Sovereign
whom she has chosen cannot witness without
deep emotion, or without making every effort to
give assistance, such energy and such sacrifices.

nation to his arny:-'The first quality requir-
cd in a soldier, is the power of supporting ia

Who can deny you the possession of the second?
Therefore it is that your enemies disseminated

more measured from the heaps at gathering

to the neighborhood they are marketed in.
There will not be a fall crop of hogs fatted.
Hogs suitable for feeding this season has been
