Penna. Rail Road,

On Wednesday ult., the above named Road
was opened through from Philadelphia to Pitts
burg, the Train passing through the celebrated
Tunnel under the summit of the Allegheny
mountains, forming one of the most beautiful
pieces of railroad scenery in the country. The
grade on the eastern slope of the mountain has
been considered by many project to heavy to
admit of transporting more then passenger cars,

A Valuable SQuaW.

We clip the following from the Pittsburg Union:
An excellent opportunity for philanthopic
young man Of educational and agricultural
turn of mind, is now open ''out West" The
Chief of the Haynse Indians, IN Oregon, offers
one thousand head of horses to any respectable
white young man, well recommended, who will
marry his daughter, girl of about eighteen ;
settle down among them, and teach them agri-
culture.
A correspondent ofthe Sturgis PnGrie Journal,
in making the matter known, says:
''These horses are worth from fifty to eighty
thousand dollars, I have seen this valuable
squaw. She is about the medium size, with toll
cradle regular features, high cheek bones, sloPing
forehead, black eyes, and dark hair. Her form IS
square and stout. Her long hair hung over her
shoulders, profusely ornamented with shells and
beads. She wore q robe made Of fawn skins, most
beautifully namented with beads and shells
Her step was light and proud-her gait easy and
graceful"
A fine chance for all all the objects men dream
dreams about. Fame, power, fortune, love, and
romance, all in bunch, dangling from the hand
of an Indian Princess, only eighteen years old
which hand and its accompaninents await the
acceptance of any respectable, well recomme nd
ed white young man. Who wants "a recon-
mepd!"

ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE.
ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC.
NEW YORK, February Q.

NEW YORK, February Q.
The steamer Pacific arrived at o'clock this
afternoon with Liverpool dates to the 25th.
The Paris correspondent of the London Times
writes that the Emperor of Russias reply though
not couched in very strong language, and de-
manding explanation, was yet of such char
acter as to leave little hope of change in the
Emperor's mind. 1t is stated that the popular
excitement at St. Petersburg is indescribable,
and the French government anticipates that an
explosion of such kind may take place as shall
force the Emperor to make formal declaration
of war before even his plans arranged.
1t is believed that 10 or Is 900 Russians have
crossed the Danube.
1t is rumored that despatch has been receiv-
ed from St. Petersburg, announcing the resigna-
tion of Nesselrode, and its acceptance by the
Emperor.
The ship Antartic brings the rescued passen-
gers from the wrecked San Francisco.
The splendid new iron emigrant ship Taylo
from Liverpool on the 10Th, for Melbourne, struck
and sunk in Dublin Bay 400 lives were lost.
The news may be briefly summed up as fol-
lows: there is abatement of actual hostilities
and preparations are making for attack but
no further battles are reported either on the Dan
ube or in Asia. The allied fleets were last seen
steering for Baloum with fair wind.
The Russian feet was also at sea.
On the morning of the Pacific's sailing, 1t was
said on the authority of the Times, that the Car
has not proceeded to extreme measures. On
learning the entry of the allies into the Black
sea- he replied by the question, 'are the fleets to
observe strict neutrality, or to take an active
part with Turkey 2''
1t is telegraphed from Vienna, that the Cars
final reply will be contemptuous refusal of the
Vienna note, also referring Turkey to Gortscha-
kof for further particulars, and asserting posi-
lively that he will not give up one jot Of Meni-
schikoffs first demand.
Considerable movements are made along the
Danube, but no further battles have taken place.
The English people, frcseeing an immense
war, appear to have made up their minds to the
necessity, and quietly accept it.
Mr.. Mason, Minister to France, has presented
his credentials.
The India and China mails have been telegraph
ed. Calcutta dates to the Goth represent trade

The Nebraska Bill.

This movement in the United States Senate
has called forth the condemnation of many of
the ablest men in the country, and has opened
up the Slavery Question in its Iveliest sense, a.
reused the Abolitionists and their colaborers, to
O full sense of their Importance and accountable
ity. The Senate is occupied entirely with the
discussion of this subject, and is likely to con-
tinue for some time to come. We hope speedy
action on the Bill will settle all contention and
hl-feeling that pervades the breasts of some of
the members of that honorable body. as their
speeches to plainly indicate. We published the
entire Bill few weeks since that has raised such
. dark smoke and which has cast gloom over
the entire country. Every one was stunned with
