Foreign Notes
PURCHASING RAILROADS..

the Landtag has adopted, 226 10 1856,
clause of the bill empowering the gov
eminent to purchase the Berlin and
Sleling, Madlcburg and Holberstadt,
Hanover and Altenbreken, and Cologne
and Menden railways. Those dissenting

REVOLUTIONARY JOURNAL.
Intelligence from ST. Petersburg says
another number of the new revolution
AIRY journal, entitled THE Will of the
People," has been distributed in st. Pc
tersburg and many other parts of Rus
]
qucntly to the recent court martial, and
contains comments on the treatment yof
the Nihilist, Marsky Navoe Vremya, of
St. Petersburg. The states governor of
that city has ordered every householder 4
to display red lamp before his door
nightly, bearing the number of the
house.
THE PERKS THAT THREATEN THE GOV
EMINENT.
A uelI ipfOrtnn1 cor
respondent of the National Zeitung SAYS
he thinks the Russian imperial council
which was TO have been held Yesterday,
under the presidency of the emperor,
was summoned not so much to consider
the question of peace or war as how
best to retire from the present diplomat
ic attitude of aggression. 4 new war
would produce an explosion calculated
to shatter the whole organism of the
state. The last war proved that foreign
enterprises do not remove the peril in
yolved in the passive opposition of soci
ETY. to the present system of the govern
ment-a peril greater than the desperate
conspiracies of the Nihilists.

and several villages around the CITY
would have shared the fate of Szedgin
Temovor, Arod and several towns in
Pennsylvania were partly inundated, and
as in Grossevardien, great number of
houses tell in. So suddenly came the
the flood that hardly any preventative
measures had been taken, and great dam

prevent the most serious disasters
