the Williamsport and Elmira line constitutes
the essential part, and thus the reader viii
appreciate the rumor which has recently OBJ
tanned credence in the New York money mar
ket, to the effect that the Pennsylvania rail-
road was considering proposition to lease
the Emira road. With that line in its pos
session, the Pennsy lvania company would
have direct road from Pittsburgh to Albany
and Boston, avoiding both Philadelphia and
New York.
Our Gothamfte neighbors, who have been
busily engaged with all sorts of projects to
go round Philadelphia, have overlooked the
fact that Boston is doing New York the same
favor. This Albany aud Binghampton road
once completed, New England would be able
to take its choice of railroads to and from
the west, the New York Central being not
more direct for them than this branch makes
the New York and Erie, or than the Bald
Eagle valley line, in connection with the Al
bany and Susquehanna road, will make the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Hitherto the Bald
Eagle valley work has been condemned only
as local affair. built to satisfy the clamor of
a wayslde population, but with the building
of the Albany and Susquehanna road it be-
comes one of great Importance.
1t puts Bellefonte en- rdppors with the whole
railway system of the Northern States, and
must make the valley the highway of an in
creasing business. We observe, also that an
other branch railway is projected TO run from
Lewstown to Bcllefonte, which, if built,
would open new and direct connection be-
tween Bellefonte and Philadelphia, matter
OF interest to US in view of the prospects OF
the former and OF the valley. Both roads
would be useful conjunctions of the two
great Pennsy lvania main lines.-Phiiadelph phia

Total,

Mr. Welies points to the work of his i'm
success in Its blockading service-the most
prodigious ever undertaken by any Govern
ment. The high price of cotton in our own
and foreign countries, when the South has
price in tho South of all articles of foreign
Manufacture, is conclusive proof ol the eff
cheney of the blockade. Mr.. Welles thinks
all the Southern ports will be in our posses
sion at an early day, when he suggests, part
of the blockading force may be spared to
chase rebel pirates from the high seas-a not
very consoling prospect to American COM
merce, il must be said.
The Secretary of the Navy speaks with evil
dent disgust of the action of England in per-
mitting the rebel privateer, the Alabma, to
leave her ports to harrass American commerce.,
and suggests that the British Governme mt
might Justly be called on to make up to Amer
ican shippers and ship owners the losses in
ficted on them by the Alabama. With regard
to the future of American (Southern) COM
merce, the Secretary suggests that when all
the Southern coast and ports are safely in our
possession, the blockade should be dissolved
and the ports opened to general commerce,
under such limit ations, conditions and restric-
tions as it would clearly be within province Of
the Government to IMPOSE, and without Of
Tense to the laws of nations.

REPORT OF THE sEcY OF THE NAVY.

Next in in interest to reports of the opera
| tions of the Treasury and the War Depart
ments, is that of the Navy, and il France
should chose to carry out her intimated inter
ference, the capabilities of iron -clads and
the number o. our effective vessels will be
carefully studied by every one Interested in
our success in defending our institutions
and our honor. From the very long and mi
mute report OF Secretary WelIes, (Which is
history of all the naval engagements of the
war, as well as statistical document,) We
gather the following summary OF what has been
accomplished
When Mr.. Wclle assumed charge of the
Navy Department in March, 1861, there were
but AZ vessels then in commission, and most
of them abroad. There were only 900 sea-
men then in the pay of the Government, and
on the 10th of March, only 2O7 in all the ports
and receiving ships of the Atlantic coast, to
man ships and protect the Navy-yards
and depots, and in suppressing the rising IN
surrection. AT the present time, by purchase
and by construction, the Government has
afoat, or progressing to completion, naval
force of 427 vessels, and carrying 8 3268 guns
So sudden and so vast naval armament has
not been witnessed in modern times. Of the
427 vessels, in service, l04 only are sailing
vessels, 323 are steam vessels, and 123 of these
latter have been aided by construction. This
speaks more than almost any other fact of the
great energy and prodgious achievements of
the Navy Department. These new vessels of
war are Of no mean capacity and calibre, as
tn following description of them will show:

DEsrRUcrIvE FIRE.-We learn from the But
Ter Herald, that the Orphans Home, situate
near Zelienople, Butler county, was entirely
consumed by fire on The 9th. AT the time the
institution was burned, about fifty Orphans
were under the care of its benevolent mana
gers. The children have been distributed a.
mong different families in the neighborhood.
Most of the clothing of the inmates was also
destroyed, together with the stores tn It had
laid up for winter use. The fire is supposed
to have originated from defect in one of the
chimneys. This institution was projected by
Rev. W. A Passavant, Lutheran minister of
Pitsburg, who has been its manager, and I'M.
firing friend and patron. The Home was es-
taGlished some ten or twelve wears since, was
sustained by contributions from benevolent
persons, and its inmates were gathered from
sll classes, without reference 10 their chris
tian antecedents. The building cost about
s25 600, and was insured for small amount
