AIDE OF the York turnpike, the rails to be of sufi-

route which meets with most favor is out Holiday

Is between seven and eight miles, and the whole

the road, will not exceed SlO0 OOO it is th0ugbtS
ABOUT 100000 of this sum has been taken in stock
oy the property holders and residents on the line
OF the proposed road in Baltimore county. Upon
the compliance of the contractors with certain pro
VISIONS OF the contract the work will proceed Very
ttle grading will be required, and the citizens Of
Baltimore will doubtless have an opportunitv of
availing themselves of this great convenience in a
few mOnths.-Balto. Sun
SAD AcCIDENT-As the steamer George Page was
en- route for this CITY, on her clock trim with the
passengers for the Orange aad Alexandria Railroad
young man named G. NJ. Childs, undertook to seat
himself on the rail of the boat Mistaking the dis
lance OF stanchion, by which he proposed to sup
port himself, he missed his hold and tumbed back
wards into the river The boat was stopped at the
hrst alarm, and ropes, chairs, &C., thrown over to
assist the young man, who was seen to swim The
heaVy tog which prevailed at the time, soon re-
moved him beyond the reach of vision When the
steamer returned, as it did immediately his hat was
the only trace left of him.
The young gentleman was a resident of Louisa
county, IN this State, where his expectant friends
are now doubtless awaiting his return He had
been at Bethany College, Brooke county Virginia
Tor some years past. Two students, Messrs r. NJ
Swords, and Walter Overton, who accompanied
MN, dragged all the morning for his body, without
success Va. Sentinel, Alexandria.
ANoTHER.-We are informed that Rev. j. Kinc-
man Mott, Pastor of the First Baptist Church of
this city, was drowned Yesterday while bathing at
Amboy, New Jersey.-Jomnot Of Commerce.
THE BAYoNEr EXERCISE IN THE UNITED STATES
ARMY.-An order has been issued by Command of
Lieut.. General Scott, in which he alludes to the
report OF the Inspector General as evidence
that the subject of bayonet exercise and tarret
practice for small arms has been aImC,t entirely
neglected by the troops, especially the bayonet
exercise and he directs that hereafter the troops
be regularly and Systematically instructed in the
full use Of the several weapons placed in their
hands.
Inspector Generals are also directed to report par
cuary on the merits and defects of the several ar
tlcles OF new invention or contrivance now in use
or which may hereafter be introduced in any de-
partments, such as arms, equipments, &C., and, in
their respective reports, besides giving their own
opinion, they will also set forth, as far as possible
what they may understand to be the Judgment of
the service, discriminating between the principle
and the mere construction of the article, in order
that the merits in the former may not be unlustly
sacrificed because of the defects which can be rem
edied in the latter Philadelphia Ledger.
ELECTION OF EPISCOPAL BISHOP FOR MGyNEsorA.-
The Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church
lor minnesota was, at last accounts, in session at
St. Paul and had had very warm time in electng
a Bishop. AS in Ohio, it seems the Clergy elect
but that election is not complete until confirmed by
the Laity. The St. Paul Minnesotian of the lst
gives the ballots. Twice the Clergy elected the
Rev John /. Tucker, but the Laity, by vote of
10 yeas and II nays, rejected the nomination. On
the third ballot by the Clergy the Rev. Henry B.
Whpple, of Chicago, was elected, he receiving IA
votes out of l6, and thereupon the Laity by unan-
lmous vote, twenty-one being the full number in
Convention, confirmed the nomination, and Mr..
Whipple was declared elected as Bishop of Mime
sofa.
The Bishop elect of Minnesota is a Young man to
be the recipient of so distinguished an honor Rev
Mr.. Whippe is not over forty years of age. He is
native OF Adams, Jefferson county, New York and
formerly had parish in Rome, New York He is
gentleman of high order of talents and attainments
ana his personal character of remarkable purity
without knowing particularly as to the fact, we
should say his Churchmanship avoids either Of the
extremes which earn for their advocates the titles
High and Low Churchmen.-C Cleveland Herald
NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENTS IN THE FREScg CAN'T.
Almost all, if not ALL the special correspondents of
the French journals at the theatre of war have been
sent back to Paris. NJ. Achard of the Debats and
NJ Texier of the Steele had already been seen up-
on the Boulevards, on the 20th ult., and NJ Dreole
of the Constitutional expected there before
this. The police lately ordered the French iourn-
ais not to say anything more about the battle of
Magenta, and in consequence the account which
NJ. Texler sent to the Steele entirely suppressed
That journal was reduced to excuse itself to its
readers by saying, "Our correspondent has sent US
such narrowing account of the battle of Magen-
ia, that we think it desirable to suppress it, not to
distress our readers"
A STRANGE SroRY.-The following story is from
the Troy Budget:
''We have for some time been cornizapt of a per-
sistent piece of cruelty towards lady of the first
respeciability in this city, and whom we noped ere
now to lind relieved by the interference of friends
1t appears that her husband in a hit of jealousy
something more than year ago, procured cage
complete of iron, into which he compelled his
wife to enter, and although it is impossible for her
to stand erect within it, she is never permitted to
leave it except at night The social position of the
parties is such that we are persuaded not to men
tion names at present but shall not fail to do so with
in day or two, unless, in the meantime, we find
the lady quietly relieved"
GEOGRAPHY NEEDED.-A morning paper, which
said little while ago that one good effect of the
present war would be that the American people
"pulu lcdIn Tue geography OF Europe, does not ap-
pear to have protited by the opportunity, In two
different editorial articles this morning it talks of
marching French troops through the kingdom of
Hanover to the Rhine. This is about as intelIi-
gent as it would be to say that the militia of this
city must pass through Pennsylvania to reach the
Hudson river. But the most amusing part of this
blunder is that important consequences are made
to hang upon Louis Napoleon's demand of ga right
OF passage" for his army through Hanover to the
RhIne.-Epe Post.
INTERIOR OF AFRICA.-A young Frenchman, who
has often visited the American Missionaries on the
Gaboon river in Africa, informed them of recent
excursion of his up the river Nazareth East of Cape
Lopez. He penetrated three hundred and 6fty
miles into the country and describes it as beauti-
full the population dense, industrious and ingenious
He crossed prairies sixty miles long, covered with
verdure. Astounding with wild cattle and other ami
mails. The people raise large quantities of tobacco
and also cotton of fine quality, which they manu-
tacture into cloth.
BRIGHTER PRospEGTs FOR LIBERGA.-A letter from
Monrovia, under date of May 10th, says, "The Lii
IBERIA Herald will tell you of our bright prospects
agriculturally. There have been more products of
Americo-Liberian labor shipped to foreign ports
English and American) within the last six months
than during the entire forty years previous, and
