EXTRAORDINARY REVELATION IN RUSSIA
The London News Of the 18th contains a letter
from st. Petersburgh, which makes the follow
ing remarkable disclosure:
The result Of the calculations lately made by
the well-knOwn astronomer, Professor Struve
OF the University Of DOrpat, relative to the
true geographical positions Of st. Petersburyh
and Moscow, and the distance between the two
capitals of the empire, that the actua al length
OF the railroad is, by astronomical observation,
NJ less than SSt wersts (about60 miles) shorter
than its nominal length Of GOT wersts, or, in
other words, that the government, for whose
account the railroad was constructed, has had
to ray about one seventh the value or twelve
million of roubles, more than it ought to have
paid As the rolling stock of the ST. Peters
burgh and Moscow Railroad is furnished by an
american company, who are paid for the same
at 80 much per werst, it follows that in this
quarter the government have been paving also
most fearful overcharge. The poles erected
along the line to denote the distances have
been systematically fixed in the wrong places
so as to misead both the government and the
public.
The Emperor was in the most violent state Of
excitement on learning the above, and gave
Immediate orders for the strctest Investigation
into the facts Of the case to be made, with the
view to infict the most summary punishment
on the parties inculpated in this nefarious
transaction, but as 80 many persons Of the
highest rank and importance are compromised
in the affair, il is not likely that the investipa-
ton will be continued, but on the contrary the
matter will be hushed up to prevent the public
scandal Of the real delinquents being ex posed
and made to suffer the penalty they 90 richly
deserve for the share they have taken In this
atrocious fraud.

"A Bio .Dr RESCOUSTER.-The village of
"arsa"' miss seems to be q desperate place
there having been no less than twelve fatal az.
trays there lately. On the Sth instant the last
oeeurred between George w. Dorsey, a mer-
chant, and L. l.. Aagruler 4 carpenter. The
Sun says:
Prom the fact that Dorsey at breakfast that
morning observed that be was .sbreakfastiuo
here this morning, but would eat supper in
= this evening" and that Magruder on the
road to town told some one to make his coffin, as
ne didn intend to live the day out, il is evil
dent there was an old grudge between them
However, the affair was made seemingly to
grow out Of an affair that occurred that morn
ing between Dorsey and another man A short
time after 1t Dorsey approached Magruder on
the gallery OF the grocery, and remarked
ion We come here TO take IS part, have
YOU and at the same time commenced draw
ing revolver, but Mayruder had antici ipated
him and got one out first Tbev were xsi,h;n

and merely grazed, but did not hurt Naoru-
der. The latter fired immediately afterxards
and kept on firing until be exhausted his bar,
rsls His first shot hit Dorsey in the abdomen
and was mortal one, though it aid not imme
diateiy affect him. Magruder then ran into
the grocery and out the back door, and was in
the act OF going under the house to get cut Of
the way when Dorsey, who kept pursuing and
hiring, caught up with him, and pulling out q
bowie knife about eight inches long, plunged
It in Magrqder's back, just below the shoulder
blade, to the hilt, which. from the force Of th,
bow, broke on Magruder then came out, raj
around the side Of the house. Dorsey beiu,
still after him and firing at him, and when b,
reached the front gallery again he fell, and II
afew moments expired. Dorsey then walk ed
seemingly unhurt, over to his house, replyini
"Pm shot plum through" to the question
whether he was hurt He survived about al
teen minutes, and remarked previous to hi
death that he "wOuld rather die than live.
The point Of the knife, which was not take
out Of Msgruder's body, could be felt by pres.
ing on his breast.

Instruction for American you,b q, Rama

instruction Tor American Youth at II ONE.
The Freeman's Journal pablishes the follow.
ing document, addressed to Archbishop Hughes
by the Propaganda at Rome:
Most WWarious and Rey,reud Sir.
In letter dated Feb IL. 1856, addressed to
the Archbishops OF the United States of Amer
lea, the Sacred CouAcil for the Propagation of
tne Name OF Christ signifed that our most
holy Rather, Pope Plus IN, had not oply an
proved the wish uttered by many that an &C.
clesiaslcal Seminary for all the Dioceses of the
United States mighs be founded in the chief
city OF the Catholic world but he also des;red
that such a work should be Commended 10 ali
The Bishops OF those churches in his name. and
promised that he would aid in accomplishing
IL, with willing heart. Most gladly we an.
nounce to you, that what the Holy Father then
promised has now, by His Holiness, been per
formed. The Holy Father has obtained the
large and convenient house which a few wears
ago was occupied by the religious women of the
visitation, with the church adjacent. and has
granted its use TO the Bishops of the United
states, that youth, chosen by them to be sent
tnither, may be received there, and instrueted
IN sound doctrine and the ecclesiastical life
therefore We rejoice that the time has come
Tor this most renowned nation to possess such
an institution In the mother city, and under
tue eyes OF the Supreme Pastor, as other ma
niony JeaIs nave RIOrleu 10 have
obtained. Nothing, therefore, will be more
worthy the Prelates of the United States than
that, corresponding with renewed promises,
they should themselves take this work i'm hand
and with aiacrity complete what tho Roman
POntln has begun, and what he has SO earnest.
ly promoted by words and in deed In this
affair we doubt not of the most ready aid of the
faithful Of North America, as well because thew
show a magnanimous iberality in every good
work, as especially it is question Of an insti.
tuition whence the American name will gain
great glory, and the Catholic faith and RELIGION
receive great increase through America. But
1t Is left to the zeal and prudence of the Arch
bishops and Bishops to use that method which
will seem to them more fit and timely than the
new Seminary may be furnished in all things
1t may need, and that, as soon as NAV be. II
may be opened to American youth.
Meantime, that God Almighty may prese rye
you, etc, etc.

VERsAILLEs. Kentucky. Oct. 4. 1ssa- !.

VERSAILLES, Kentucky, Oct. 4, 1853.
DEAR SIR: received this morning your let.
ter Of the 18th and 18th uIt., written as chair.
man of the Democratic Stale Committee AZ
Illinois, also one from Mr.. " Hickox, who in.
forms me that he is a member of the same COM
mittee. Ny absence from home will account
for the delay Of this answer.
In these letters 1t is said that am reported
to have expressed desire that Mr.. Douglas
shall defeat Mr.. Lincoln in their contest for q
seat IN the Senate Of the United States, and a
Willingness to visit Illinois and make public
speeches In aid of such result; and If these
repors are true, am invited to deliver ad-
dresses at certain points in the State. '..
Inc rumor of my readiness to visit illinois
and address the people in the present canvass
Is without foundation. did not propose to
leave Kentucky for the purpose of min Cling in
the political discussions of other States. The
two or three speeches which 1 delivered recent.
,in IN '1is o.ate rested on peculiar grounds,
which need not now discuss :
The other rumor TO which Won refer Ia trus
nave often, In conversation, expressed the
wish that Mr. Douglas may succeed over his
Republican competitor. But il is due To can
dor to say that this preference is not founded
on MS course at the late session of Congress.
and would not exist il / supposed il would be
construed as an endorsement Of the attitude
"hicn ne then chose TO assume towards his
party, or of all the positions he has ken in
the present canvass. 1t is not necessary TO en- :
large on these things. will only add, that
my preference rests mainly on these consider
ations that the Kansas question is practically
ended-that Mr.. Douglas, in recent speeches.
mas explicitly declared his adherence to the
regular Democratic party organization-that
ne seems to be the candidate of the Illinois
Democracy, and the most formidable oppopent
IN that State Of the Repu blican party, and
that on more than one occasion during his pub
lic life he has defended the Union of The States
and the rights Of the States with fidelity, cour.
age and great ability.
have not desired to say any thing upon this
or any other subject about which a difference
may be supposed to exist in our political fami-
ly, but did not feel at liberty to decline an
answer to the courteous letter Of your commit
tee.
with cordial wishes for the harmony of .be
Illinois democracy, and the hope that your
great AMI growing State, which, has never vet
gwen sectional vote, may continue true to
our constitutional Union, am, very respect
fully, your obedient servant,
JOHN G. BRECKINRIpeH
Hon. John Moore, Chairman of the Com.
mittee.

In the elty some hours, and when they retu rned
ne claimed that they were married, but il was
earnestly denied by the young lady, who gave
the following account Of the elopemeut. which
really looks more like an abduction than apy-
thing else
She is an orphan, and is possessed in her own
rlgnt OF several thousand dollars She was

In one OF the interior counties, the wife of whom
IL the sister Of the man who claims 10 he ber

elares that she has had no IL ous sht of marrying
any one, and certainly never contemplated
such a union with the man who was with bar
The vile of her guardian and this man ana
herself went to Paris for the purpose of shor-
ping While there, il was proposed to her TO
come to MaysVille for the purDose of con
Pleting her purchases, to which she eheerfully
agreed She supposed the whole party were
coming until she got into the stage, when She
learned that the lady was going TO return home,
and that she was to accompany this gentleman.
The next morning after their arrival here
be proposed that they should 90 out in town TO
make their purchases. He took her TO the ferry
boat, and when she asked him if that was the
way to the stores, he told her it was, as all the
pest stores were on the other side of the river
In Aberdeen, she says some - little old man
asked them TO (" stand up and join their light
hands, which she refused 10 do !; neyertheie ss
he pronounced them "mRn and wife. -
On their return to their hotel, at the instance

Vileges with her, brought to her aid some OF the
