o. Several thousand persons crossed last
week, from New York to Brooklyn on the ice,
a feat which has not been performed more shan
four times before since the settlement of the
country. The Herald says there were at least
one thousand people on the ice at one time,
which had only formed safe bridge the morn
ing Of the same day. Toward the close Of the
day the ice exhibited symptoms of giving way
to the force of the incoming tide. Many Of
the more cautious escaped to either shore in
time. In short time the ice became fssured
at the docks and it was evident that the ebb
tide would make short work of the ice-yet
no less than five hundred persons were on
the huge cake of ice which was slowly drifting
toward the bay with precious freight Of hu
man lives upon it. Three steam tugs and
numberless other boa were dispatched to the
rescue of the ice bridge travellers, but all were
unsuccessful Another tug OF great power
came to the rescue at this crisis and dashed
into the thick drift so as to permit the daring
adventures to climb with the assistance OF
ladders to the deck of the tug. All
were taken off safely, and the breathless ST
lence of the tens of thousands anxious spec
tators on shore was broken by tremendous
and enthusiastic cheering the congratulations
Of friends who but moment before seemed
lost to each other forever.

The UNLUCKY LETTER.-The following is
the letter from Buchanan to the members O..
the Pennsylvania Legislature, which defeated
AS it ought-the election Of Forney. 1t ex-
hibits most indicate interference, on the
part of the President elect, in an election
and most understandable attempt to influence
members of the Legislature in the discharge
of their duties:
GAS my position on the subject of electlng a
United States Senator may be misunderstood,
beg you to say to my friends that Col. j. w.
Forney, in my opinion, will best serve my ad-
ministration of all those named, and l will
feel complimented and obliged for the votes OF
my friends in his favor for that office. Mr..
Robins, Mr.. Black, and so on, are very fair
men, but Col Forney's claims are far superior
to those Of others. JAMES BUCHANAN"

THE MOUNT CARMEL RAmRoAD.---The
Princeton Courier has the following article
upon the subject of the Mount Carmel Rail
road. We are glad to hear that the people in
the country are awake to the subject, and
their movements will, we hope arouse our citi-
zens to do something in the matter, without
delay:
EXCITEMENT every quarter, we
hear something concerning Railroad from
Mt. Carmel to connect with the Evansville and
Charlottesville Railroad at some point.
A correspondent Of the Evansville Journal
strongly favors its passing through Owensville
and connecting at some point below Princeton.
Such a route would doubtless be of consider
able advantage to our sister town, Owensville,
but nothing like as profitable to the road as
the connection at Princeton. There will by
that route, be six miles moro road to make,
and if we are not mistaken in the country
through which it would run, would cost more
than the entire road from Princeton to Mount
Carmel, besides the road will do more bus
mess to connect at this point than any other
Every day proves more conclusively the ne
cessity Of this enterprise, and the right way
to put it through is for all interested to put
themselves to work and it will be accomplish
ed. If the Mount Carmel people will do what
their interest demands they will go to work
with determination to accomplish their end
and the citizens of Evansville and Princeton
will come to their aid.

Missouri BANKING.-The new constitution
al provisions for the creation OF banks in
Missouri, contemplates the incorporation OF
ten principal banks with two millions Of cap
ital each, and with branches of each. 1t is
proposed that the bills of all the branches
shall be redeemed at the principal banks, or
at the branches issuing them at the option Of
the holder; and that a plan something like
the Suffolk Bank system, by which all the
bills of all the banks shall be redeemed at st.
Louis, shall be incorporated into the law
This is the same system we have recon-
mended for orr Indiana banks. Let the
State Bank be the only bank Of issue, and let
her furnish the currency to all the other
banks, at low interest, and become respon-
sible for the whole circulation of the State
By scheme of this kind, we could do away
with all the machinery for protecting free bank
circulation, and leave the business of banking
open to every one.

Let Democrats mark and remember the au~
thor ofthis Objectionable bill. The truth ofone
principle of ethical philosophy has been made
more and more manifest in our legislation for
a series of years past, Distrast and suspicion
of others, is one Of the attendant vices of dis
honesty and depravity; a corrupt mind always
supposes all other minds corrupt; and as prof
ligate and venal men have got into high places
and have been clothed with the power to make
laws, all their attempts at it, show that they
frame our statutes upon the principle that the
people are as dishonest and as little worthy
of trust as they themselves are. As the rule
of party subsidies, these men will be dethron-
ed, and we shall have laws founded upon the
presumption, at least, that the people are hon
est.

JUDICIAL DIsTRICTs.-A bill has been in
troduced into the Legislature to divide our
present judicial district, and to place Knox,
Martin, Daviess, Pike, Gibson or Dubois, in
new district with Sullivan and Greene;
leaving our present district to be composed of
Posey, Vanderburgh, Warrick, Spencer, Perry,
and Gibson or Dubois. AS Gibson is more in
timately associated in intercourse, and geo.
graphically connected with us than Dubois,
we hope Gibson may be retained in the old
circuit. This change Of circuit has become a
necessity. The growth in population and in
crease Of business in our large circuit, Of eleven
counties, make the duties of Judge very oner-
Gus; and although our present excellent
Judge labors very diligently nearly the whole
year-which is much more than the salary
warrants him in doing-yet it is very difficult
to keep the dockets clear in some of the
counties, and parties suffer many delays. The
only objection to the division Of the district
as proposed, is the loss of Judge Niblack who
would be thrown into the new district, We
suppose, unless we could induce him to re-
move to Evansville. The bill will receive, W.
hope, the active support Of the Pocket Dele
CATION.

The average cost Of American railways mas
been estimated to be $4,000 mile, which is
rather over than under the mark. The Eng
lish railways have cost on an average, $780,
900 mile; the Belgium railways, 100000;
the French railways, $4,000; the German
railways, $4,000. Many reasons may be as
signed for these variations. The German and
American roads have in general but one track;
the French and English two. The principle
pursued by the English engineers, who also
built most of the French roads, was to avoid
abrupt curves and steep gradients, by grading
and cutting, hence large increase of expense.

THE RUSSIAN CHURcH-The supreme ad-

is, since Peter the Great, conducted by holy
Synod in St. Petersburgh, which is entirely
dependent on the Emperor, and counts among
the highest magistrates in the Empire For
the Protestants, general consistories have been
established in st. Petersburgh, and even the
Bishops Of the Roman Catholic Church have
had to yield the greater part Of their functions
to an Ecclesiastical Synod in the capital, APP
pointed and entirely controlled by the Govern
ment.
