scription of the fort will be read with interest:

SwEABoRG.--As the news of the bombardment
of Sweaborg is daily expected, the following de-
scripton of the fort viii be read with interest:
Sweaborg commands the entrance to the bay Of
Helsingfors, and lies Immediately opposite Revel
on the north side Of the Gulf of Finland, and
about fifty miles distant. 1t has been called the
Gibraltar Of the North. IL is an immense for
tress, resting upon seven islands, which are con-
nected by pontoons, mounting 800 cannon, and
garrisoned by Is, 600 men in time of peace. The
Importance Of this place is, perhaps greater than
that of Reve as its fall will be thepreude TO that
of Helsingfors which contains one of the largest
naval arsenas in the world, and is the greatest re-
cruting station Of the Russian navy.
The province of Finland is of great importance
10 Russia for il is from thence, mostly, that she
draws her supplies of sailors and timber, and the
possession OF Helsingtors, which Is the capital Of
Finland, could not fail TO annoy her exceedingly
The capture of Bomarsund exhibited the utter in
ability of the frmest masonry TO withstand heavy
fire from cannon, and we know of no reasons why
Swcaborg should not yield to the same inevitable
fate. The works, indeed, are said to be blasted
from solid rock, and may possess more strength
than any masonry constructed by the hands of
man; but this only retard, not avert, the re-
suit. The object of the allies clearly is to sweep
every vcstigc of Russian commerce from the Bal.
tic and its tributaries by capturing, one after
another, all the great fortresses of Russia Swea-
borg, Helsingfors, and Revel taken, the road 70
Cronstadt and St. PetersbLrgh may be guarded
with moderate feet, and the oceanic commerce
of Russia utterly annibilated

A HARMONIOUS DEMocRAT.-Georga w. ieck
Esq, the editor of the Lansing State journal, is
NJ c. elect from Michigan.
The Evening Post says Mr. Peck was the can
didate of the Cass Nebraska party, but it appears
by an article in his paper that the course pursued
by the administration in Kansas has proved too
much for him. The removal of Reeder was wrong
which he thinks can only be repaired by the ap-
pointment OF successor who will repudiate the
Legislature Of Kansas and all its farcical pro-
ceedings Unless this is done, Mr.. Peck says

Tur ONO RyER.--The Pttsburg Dispatch, no
tcing the heavy business done by the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad, says:
The mai, cause Of so large decline in receipts
on the New York and Erie Railroad, while the
Pennsylvania Central shows so immense en- in
about fifty per cent? during the same peri
3D. Is to be sought for not in the greater publicity
Of the facilities Of the Pennsylvania improvement
but in some more substantial cause. We trace it
fairly AID reasonably to the fact that the Ohio
river, for the first time within recollection, has re-
manned at an excellent steamboat stage through the
whole season.
There is the main secret Of the matter; and let
Phadelphiaus and Pittsburgers, and all citizens
of Pennsylvania ponder the fact, that an uninter-
rupted navigable stage Of the Ohio is the most GER
tain means of overcoming the competition Of the
New York trade by railroads, &c, via the Lakes
Baltimore, too has deep interest in such improve
ment Of the Ohio as bringing her into the western
market now by the Pennsylvania Central and the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and ere long by the
Connesville route.

Buffalo Advertiser has the following paragraph in
relation to the reasons why Governor Hunt wrote
his letter against "Fusion." If what the Adver-
tiser says is correct--and we do not Tor n moment
doubt but it is, for the feeling to which it al
udes exists in other sections of New York, and
among the class Of Wings of which it speaks
then the importance of that letter is greatly en-
HANGED, and it will exert far greater influence
upon the canvass in New York this year than was
at first supposed:
"The movement of Governor Hunt is, we be-
lieve, Of far more Importance than at first sight
would appear From the remarks Of the CONNER
cial Advertiser we were led to suppose that let
ter from that paper had drawn forth Mr. Hunt
communication. Such does not appear to have
been the case. A large and influential body Of
men, formerly members of the Wing party, are
Interested in the movement and it has only been
at their earnest and persistent solicitation, that
Governor Hunt has consented to put forth his
opinions, the type and representative of their
own sentiments. 1t is worthy Of remark, too, that
these men are not of the class formerly known as
Silver Greys. They are the moderate, honest
Seward men--the Wings who have always acted
with Mr.. Weed and his friends, and, disguised with
the conduct of Mr.. Seward, have looked around
for new man to whom they can transfer the lead
ership of the Wing party, supposng it to be in
their power to rescue it from the perious position
into which its late managers have led it. In this
view Mr.. Hunts manifesto becomes of much i'm
portance. 1t is likely to create considerable diff
Guilty in the Fusion ranks, and to materially en-
barrass the schemes of the leaders, We have no
doubt that his able letter will cause many to pause
upon the very brink Of Fusion, and to draw back
in time from the precipice which yawns before
themn

adopted 10 encourage" sentiments Of "friend-
ship and brotherhood" but was reluctantly
Submitted to-
As dire necessity, forced upon the unwilling
States by the terror Of internal commotion, OF for
eign Interference and inyasion-by poverty, debt,
distress, and misery"
We cannot, consistently with the decencies of
the press, express our contempt for the au-
thor and editor of these sentiments, which
we extract from the Tribune. First, the physi-
cal power of the free States is appealed to, to
conquer the numerically weaker section. This
is the counsel Of a mercenary coward. He has
the stronger side He shows no symptom OF
magnanimity--no wish to adjust controversy
with those he holds in his power. Like the
revolutionary invaders of Mexico, he holds out
to the camp followers the hopes OF plumber. II
there are a few who have still lingering re-
spect for the Union, he scouts their scrupies
II is no bond of fraternity it is a dire neces-
sity." Let it's forces be employed to secure
money and power, and let no regard for
brotherhood check the exertions Of this ne
farious purpose Mr.. Wilson, another leader
Of this Potomac party, says the Union scan
not be dissolved" Then this sectional robbery
may be perpetrated, without any fear of de-
stroying the form of government from which
it derives all its advantages. 1t is equivalent
to the encouragement offered to the burglar,
that he may rob, violate, and murder, with i'm
punity, because the helpless inmates will be
barred in, without the possibility OF escape
But there is an avowed purpose to make the
Potomac the line of official competency. Men
must cross over to the right side of this politi-
cal Jordan to entitle themselves to Office or
public salary. Those who do not, will be held
in the subsection of a conquered province!
We appeal again to such of our friends as
may have been exerted against this unworthy
administration, to reflect well upon what is
proposed by these revolutionists, and decide
whether they will permit prejudice, OF
even sense of wrong, to commit them against
the Union, and in favor Of a Missouri line Of
office.

RICHARD p. RoBISsoS.-We stated a day or two

Of the report that Richard p Robinson, the muir

Richard +. Robinson, who was connected with the
murder Of Helen Jewett, in New York, some Is
years since. Parmalee died at the Gait House, in
this city, on the sth instant, of chronic dysentery
While delrious he was frequently heard to men
ton the wrong he had done Helen, and ut other
times mentioned 'Jewett.' There we're, besides,
certain marks upon his person, recognised by a
gentleman Of this city who knew him in New
York.

In 1884 he was chosen to the State Senate-in

den's unexpired term in the Senate. Since then
he has confined himself to his farm, situated about
half way between Marysville and Lexington. The
Courier says that in his old age his intellectual
strength did not abate one jot, and that, stone
mason by trade, he always boosted Of his service
in that honorable line Of the mechanic arts, and
