The Pennsylvania railroad company,
whose Iines penetrate every section of the
Union, and directly connect all important
points with Philadelphia, has made magnifi-
cent preparations for conveying, with safety
and comfort, the millions of people who in
tend visiting the Centennial Exhibition di-
rectly to the Centennial grounds. The loca-
ton of the Exhibition made it impossible
for any other railway to directly reach the
Exhibition buildings and grounds, and the
management, ever since the site was des-
ignated, has employed its gigantic equip
ments and unrivaled facilities to make the
Exhibition a success, by providing the
amplest accommodations at the minimum
price, for both exhibitors and visitors. 1t
was fitting that a railway company national
in its character and operations, should thus
second the commissioners in illustrating our
centennial history by demonstrating the
high degree of excellence attained by the
railway transportation system of America,
in making the great thoroughfnres uniting
the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi
valley, the West, Northwest and Southwest
with the Centennial City, as erfect as posi-
BILE in all its essentials and details.
Its routes follow the geographical chan
nels of continental nter-communication,

southern shores of the great lakes, on tie
Mississippi and Ohio rivers, and on the A.
lantic harbors. The main road from New
York to Philadelphia, though passing
through the principal-cities of New Jersey,
does not deviate six miles from an air line,
and this delectionis is due to the interposition
of navigable waters. These routes not only
excel in directness as we'll as in the number
of important cities and towns they connect,
but they are confessedly superior in con-
struction and equipment. Between Pitts
burgh and New York, 444 miles, the entire
line is double track, laid with heavy steel
rails with joints connected between ties by
process that gives the effect of continuous
rail, on which there can be no unpleasant
jarring. All bridges on the line are of iron
or stone. A large portion Of this distance is
provided with third track, which enables
freight trains to keep entirely out of the
way of passenger travel, and permits the
express trains 10 run their allotted distance
without interruption, and near Philadel-
phia, and other important terminal points,
four tracks have, for considerable dis
tances, been completed.
The Block signal system, exclusively
used on the Pennsylvania railroad through
out its entire length, compels the engineer
of train to know whether the track is
clear or not to the next station, be it one

This depot is reached by circle of three
tracks sweeping from the main roadway
four-ffrhs of mile long, and the diameter
of the circle they describe is 600 feet. All
trains will enter this circle heading west,
and depart from the depot heading east
Three trains can be landing or receiving
passengers in front of the depot at the
srme time, the entire tracks being floored
over, and no matter in what direction the
trains may come or go, they can be moved
without confusion, delay or danger
Seventeen additional sidings have been
constructed, connected with this circle, of a
length of 1000 feet each, upon which wait

them to enter upon the circle, receive their

attack under Custer, on the village at
another point. While preparations were
being made for the removal Of the
wounded, party was sent on Clusters

They found awaiting them q sight fit to
apPal the stoutest heart. At d point
about three miles down the right bank
Of the stream, Custer had evidently at
tempted to ford, and attack the village
from the ford. The trail was found to
lead back up to the bluffs and to the
northward, as if the troops had been re-
pulsed and compelled to retreat, and at
the same time had been cut of from re-
gaining the forces under Reno. The

surrounded by a chosen band. Here
were his two brothers and his nephew,

lying in a circle of few yards, their

had been annihilated. Not a man has

Startling intelligence reaches US from
the scene Of Indian warfare, on the little
Horn River Gen. Custer was in com
mand of the Seventh regiment Of regu-
lar cavalry. He came upon On Indian
camp Of about two thousand lodges.
Major Reno, with four companies, was
sent to make an attack, three companies
were held in reserve, and Custer, with
five companies, charged the thiekest
portion Of the Indian camp, and the
whole detachment was destroyed.
Major Reno was worsted, and with the
reserve companies held out until help
came under Gen. Gibbon. Two brothers,
a brOther-in-law and nephew Of Custer
lied with him, and son Of Gen. Crit
tenden is along the slain. Gen. Custer
was among the most dashing fighters in
the army, and win be long remembered
for chivalrous service and romantic deeds
of daring. 1t seems that his hardihO0d

THE RruoRED RUSSIAN REGENCY.

The rumor is repeated, and now with
more empha asis, that the Emperor Alexander
of Russia seriously cCntemplates, or rather
that his physicians seriously contemplate
the functions of government to his son,
the Czarewitch. Such step will hardly
be taken unless the Emperor's mind has
really been as profoundly affected by his
long continued physical indisposition as
has often of late been whispered; and in
that case the Czarewitch will become sub
stantially the ruler of Russia. 1t will be
repetition of the British Regency of the
beginning of this century and as the Care
witch is known to entertain very different
views as to the foreign policy of Russia
from those held by his father, the story of
his possible immediate advent to power
has serious European Importance. The
Czarewitch Alexander was born in March,
1945, and has consequently just entered
upon his thirty first year. He is married to q
princess of the House of Denmark, which
has been SO scurvily treated by his lmper-
ial kinsman of Germany; and like the
Prince of Wales who is doubly his brother
inlaw, he is we'll known to regard Ger
many with much less affection than France.
There are stories current, indeed, OF his
wreaking his hostility to the German
nation upon the persons OF oncers OF MS

There are indications that Russia and not
France will be the next antagonist of Germany.
A Russian paper directs special attention to
the enlargement of the Prussian fortresses and
to tho construction by Prussia of new strate
getical " lines of railway that are now in pro-
gress on the Russian frontier; and it does not
hesitate to add that these ominous works are
undertaken with An intent hostile to Russia.
OF course Bismarck, in q war with Russis,
would have to look out for French alliance,
and that would be factor of no little conse-
quence; yet there are reasons why he should
desire such 9 war, even under these circum-
stances, and the German military leaders are
now 80 pu1fed up that they probably think they
could beat France and Russia combined.
