Loss than two hun dred blU flfiy w!les remain to bo built. Tho greater part of the Interval lu now graded, and It Is reasonably expected that the through connection tetweon Han Fi'buc'.hco and New York will fro completed by July 1. As tbe a'-iount of (ioverntno'i'. aid irlvcu to each Is dependent upon tUo 1-a'ti of road eaob Bball build, both comp-ia'.es are prompted to great i f jrt s to (secure til1 co rd ruction and control of what, wtien completed, will boon-' ami the only grand Ji-iiliort'l L'.i' connecting the Atlantic and l'ncfiv eo".'.r. (tne Hundred aud Ten Millon Dollars (He OiKUhhi) lu iijuuey have aliLidy been ox. i.tuotd by tne two powerful companies eu kHKtd in ibis great enterprise, and they will tipeetlily complete ihe portion ytl to be built.

The Companies are permitted to Issue their own tTrfct Mortgage liondito t he mine amount as ibey receive irom the Uaited .States, and no mote. The companies have sold to permanent, Investors about ($10,000,000) forty million dollars of their First Mcrtgegs llonds. Tne companies havealready paid in (including net earnings not divided, grants from hi ate of California, aud H-cramento city and Sin Frauolsco), up waids of (5i,00'J,OJ0) twenty-live million dollars of capital stock. WHAT IS THERE VET TO BE DONE? In considering thU question il must be-remembered that all the remaining iron to finish the road Is contraotei for, uui Hid largest por tion paid for and now delivered on the line of the Uoion Pactflo Kailioa l and the Central Pacific Kallroad, and that Hie grading Is almost finished. "WHAT RESOURCES HAVE THE OOMPA KlEi TO FINISH THE KOAD? First. They will receive from tht) Government as ihe road progresses about i'J.WO.OOO addi tional. Becond. They can issue their own First Mori gaee Honda for about t'J.000,000 additional. Third. The oompauie now hold almost all the land they have up to ibis time received from the Oovernmen'; upon iho completion of the road they will have received in all 23,O0U,0ll0 acres, which at 81 50 per acre would be worth J84 .500,000. In addition to tWs above the net earning of the roads and additional capital, if necessary, could be called In to riuisli Hie road. WAY BUSINESS ACTUAL E VKNIXdS.

A day or two since we published an at tiele, Hiittaenticaled by the N. Y. Times'1 corrcpood eut, relative to a cuvIoiih episode in the career of, Ccneial Grant while before Vicksburij. Tbo X. Y. Herald's Washington correspondent this morning ejves "the oilier ide" of the story, us follows: A rorresporjJcnt of a New York moruins piiper, whose comaiuuication was puulihed yeoterduy In regard to tne orders of Hunks to fupcmd'o (Jraut before the lull of Vteksburir, Is singularly minlcd in hie statements. Tne si'iiple facts lire these: The Presiaent, Secretary Stan ton, Utilleck, and Grunt, all agreed that the nrn.ies ol (Jraut and liiiiiks slio lid be combined, Uv moreellieletiily to opeiate ag iuiot Vickiiiurc nnd Port Hudson. Jittnks wu tue senior oilier. For tbat rea-on, wheu tbo armies were com bined, the command would ti"cessnrily huvi! devolved upon Hunk. On the 21 of April, lKti:t Hullick telegraphed to Grunt: "What is mast aestred, and jour atten ion is timiin rallcJ to this object, i, tbat your rrce.i and those of (ii neral Banks shtill bebroueht into co-operation as early us possible. Il lie canuot. get up toco-opera-e with jou ou Vickshurg. cannot you i;et troops clown to help hiui on Port Hud son!1" Ou toe ll'h of May, after Grant had captured Grand Cult and Port Gibson, Unlleek telegraphed him as follows; "if possible, the lorccs of yourselt and banks should be united between Virkfbtire and Port Hudon, oo as to attack these places separately with the com bined forces. The sumo thing h;is been urged ou Banks.'' Ou the 13th ol May Gr-mt telo eraplied to Hall.'ck, from Jacksou, Miss., as lollows: "I sent a special mOaPenger to Banks, giving him the sub-itauee of the lnlormation I bad, and asking hitu to join me as soon as possible' This message was sent ou the. 10th. On the :M of June Hadeck flesraphed lo Grunt as follow:"! have sent despatch alter de-patcli to Batiks to join you. Why ho does not I do not understand. His separate operations on Port Hudson is in direct violatiou ot his instructions. It possible .eud him this despatch." Ou the sarne day President Lincoln telegraphed to Grant as follows: "'Are you In communication with General Banks'!1 Is he coming towards you or poing fur. her oil ? Is there, or baj there been, auything to hiuder his camiPR directly to you by watci '(" On the 8th of June Grant telegraphed to Presideut Ltncoiu: ' I send by mad a letter from General Buuks." This letter from General Bants stated his rea tun for not proceeding with his army to combine it with Grant's army and assume the command to which his rank entitled hiui. When Banks remonstrated aeainst the orders from Wa-bington and Grant's own request that he (Banks) should join him (Grant), winch neces sarily would give B'itiK9 the command, "un less there was express designation by the President to the contrary," Grunt sent a mem ber of his Btatl to urge upon Banks to bring his army up the river. Grant further instructed this stall otlicer to say to Banks that he hoped no feeling of delicacy in regard to the matter of rank would deter him; tnat he (Grant) would cheerfully surrender the command. Both Gene rals acted nobly in the matter Grant iufsiukiug all personal considerations for the supposed good of the set vice, aud Bunks in declining to Mep iu and take the Iruit which Grant had f haken until it was ready to fa'l. You will see, therefore, that the correspondent is grossly mistaken in supposing lhat General Grant has iccelved any new light on the subject within the past month. I atn assured by a gentleman who was there with Geueral Grant, that It was well understood at Grant's headqiarters not that Banks was specially ordered to relieve Grant, but to unite the two armies; w hich would have resulted iu his superseding Grant, because he (Banks) was the seuior olbcer. I am further assured by the same au thority that there was no time during the siege ol Vickburg when General Grant did not possess the eDtire conadence and receive the earnest co-optration of the President, the Secre tary of War, and the General-in Chief. Air. Dana, the Assistant Secretary of War, was with Grant, and was fully advised of all his plans aud operations duriug the entire siege of Vicksbtirg. He made full and frequent reports to Stanton, and approved and applauded Grant's c induct. The fact thnt this mutter is not discussed in the text of Badeau'a book is probably booause he was not a ware that Bunk", at that time, ranked Grant, and therelore did not appreciate the ellcct ot the orders and telegrams which are published in the appendix to his book. Bideau was not, till long afterwards, a menber of Grant's nail', and had no personal knowledge of this most important period of Grant's history, (rant's whole conduct duriug this period dis plays the remarkable fact that in all his c.uu paigns aud in a l his reports he ncer seamed to no aiijtliii.g lor his own personal distinction. He was ready to yield command on the eve ot apparent victory to make the success of the cause tnoic certain. jirant aud the fonservnll vo lluvoairut In Vii-jftuiii.

The Virginia Conservative Committee, ac companied by several other gentlemen from Virginia, made a secoud visit to General Grant ihls cioi nin?, also visiting President Johnsou and G neral t-chofleld. Their conversation with G. neral Grant related principally to the Virginia movement, and his remarks on the subject were in the highest degree eucouraciug. He seen el to desire no secrecy as to his views, but spi ke out with jierlect opeuncss and free (loin. I leel that no confidence is violated when I say that ha "sincerely hoped this whole subject would soon be settled." He has evidently studied our Virginia affairs, and fully uudeiBtands the Underwood Cjustitution. He expressed himself as being warmly in favor ot striking out the disfran chising clauses ol that instrument, the homebtcad clause, and the provisions re lating to county organizations, which last he seems lo regard as more objectionable even than the rest. He said that it permitted to stand as a part of the constitution they would necessitate the election of negro judges, shcrlils, magis trates, clerks, commonwealth's attorneys, con stables, etc., aud that the condition of atlatrs would he so intolerable that in those localities where there is a preponderance or blacks the whites would be compelled to remove and seek homes m other portions of the State, lie ex pressed tue wish tbat the provoked arrangement may be epeedily carried out, and indicated his eonfldeiice in such a resuK. The conversation with President Johnson was more general, bearing but slightly ou the sub ject above referred to. He, thanked the com mittee for calling, and talked pleasantly. Genial Hchotield's views are so well under stood lhat it is. ueeulcs9 to refer particularly to them. Slock notations by Telegraph 1 P, Bt Olendluulng.

TO DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. Cocrt or Oyer and Terminer, Judges Allison and Pelree. Since the close of our re port of yesterday the Commonwealth, though a number of witnesses were examined, having elicited nothing more than the general bloody appearance of the premises al Tenth and Pine streets on Ibe night of the murder, this morn ing resumed their case. There was of course a large concourse of women in the oonrt-room, but the prisoner did not favor them wttu a view of her pale face, which she continued t J keep closely veiled. Detective Warnock was pnt upon the stand and testified lhat be made a search ot Mrs. Hill's house and found a poaor andciudli; tnolc oil' the knobs of the dining room door with blood upon them; cut out u piece of ollolotti from (he dining-room and entry lloor; a piece of idaukei from tue blanket ou Mis. Twltueli'ri lied with blcod upon it; foaud some inoucy and Jewelry In Mrs. Hill's room and other aniens; ihe spot of blond In the entry merely indicated thai some one dripping wun blood had goue from the dlulug-room, but not lhat the person went either up or d own stairs. The deed for the house at Tenth and Fine streets, lu Mrs. Twltchell's name, was here put lu evidence. Joseph Henderson sworn I knew Mr Hill In her lifetime nbnut, tweuiy-six ye irs, and I hud a slight acquaintance with the prisoner; I railed upon Mis. Hill In July lust lu rofrreuco to the title ol the nuise, Mrx. Twltcbell bolnif present; Mrs. Twltcbell then said, " vVe will convey the property to you, Mrs. Hill, If that Is what you want;" 1 don't ihlult that I bad said anything In her presence about the property previously lo that remaib; this conversation occurred in the dining room at Tenth and Piue streets; sup pose 1 bad been there aoout half an hour or three-quarters before tills remark was made; Mrs. Twltcbell bad not been In Hie room during all that time: Mrs. Hill had left the room aud returned before Mrs. Twltcbell came lu; Mrs, Twltcbell had gone out of the house oefore she came iuto the room where I was; she had tone out after Mrs. Hill aud I had had the In terview, and then returned In company with Mr. Twitchell: shb was out of the house, I sup pose, half an lioi.r; I remained there all tbat time; when they came Into the room Mr. Twitchell spoke first; Mis. Hill bad very Utile to say, bnt she spoke about the ti le to this property; that was all that was said at tbat lime about the property. Catharine McNally, the servant girl at Mr. Montgomery's, next door to Mrs. Hill's, insti lled that ou the nltihl of the murder she heard no other noise in Mrs. Hill's except the rluglug of the bell live or six limes, between 0 and 10 o'clock, and the noise in the klteheu following this ringing the discovery of the body and the cat herlDg of the people; sue had not heard the dogs at all this night. Olicer James White testified that he had charge of the house at IVnlh aud Pine streets, from about 12 o'clrck Sunday night, of the murder, until 10 o'clock next morning; Mrs. Twitchell passed ihe night there; occupy lug the the second story backroom, Ir-ul building; old Mr. Twltcbell and thes rvant girl remained there all night; he was directed to keep Sarah Campbell and Mrs. Twltohell lu their room all night; he did not see them from the time they were given into bis charge until 5 o'clock next morning. Kbenezer Cobb was called to prove that he went to the house of Josepn Gilbert to serve a subpo-na upon him, aud was told that lie was In Chicago. Officer McCnllongh, who wtts In charge of the bouse with Officer White, reiterated that ofllcer's statement. Mr. Sheppard here arose Mid said: Mayitpb-use your Honors Tiie case for the Commonwealth is now closed. We have sub mitted all the testimony lhat was in ourpjs session, or of which we bave been Informed, or lhat has In any way come to our Knowledge, nnd we have used all possible diligence in ex hausting the sources of informat ion that have been communicated to us, or have bean brought in any way within our reaoh. That evidence Is now before the Court. The consideration of it, iu my judgment. Imposes a very grave responsibility upon the prosecuting otlicer, and although It may be the duty of counsel who represent a defeudant to avail themselves of all legal means lo secure the ac quittal ot their client, I do not regard lt.on the other hand, as the duty of a prosecuting otlicer iu every case, or iu any case, to press a convic tion when in bis judgment the law aud the facts do not warrant it. 1 feel bound to say tbat, upon the testimony before the Court, I do uot consider lhat this defendant can be convicted without straining t'je law and the doetrineof circumstantial evl Cence beyond a safe, reasonable, legal, aud proper limit, and as I entertain that, eon vlctlon, 1 consequently regard It as my official duty to submit this bill lo the Jury without asklug them to find a verdict of guilty against the defendant, trusting that in tuts respect, as in all others, I may receive the approval and sanction of the Court. Mr. Mann replied H Is certainly very grati fying to the prisoner aud to the counsel lor t ie prisoner to know lhat at this hour, after every effort has been made, the Commonwealth has been unable to find anything to warraut a Jury lu convicting her. They abandon the case, admitting tint there is not even a prima facie case. We honestly be lieved, wnenr we applied for the writ of habeas corpus, that there was nothing against the pi Isoner, and thai a half hour's patient, hone-d, and careful examination of the case would establish that fact. But the clamor of the pu'ilic was such that the way was not seen clear lo give tbat half hour. This woman, broken-hearted and suffering and crushed down, wasenlitled to her dlsobarge long ago, end If there had been a sufficient a mount of courage to perform a duty, the prison doors of Ibis woman would have been opened nine weeks ago. Judge Allison. Gentlemen of the Jury: You h'ive Just heard what has been said by tae Dis trict Attorney, It Is the duty of the officer re presenting the Commonwealth to go through the proper legal investigation of the charge contained In this bill of indictment. They have prosecuted the In vestlgat ion under the evidence which they have been able to procure, aud which in their Judgment bears against the prisoner. We have now the ofllolal statement that all the evidence which the Commonwealth was able to obtain all the information has been submitted In support of tne charge against the prisoner. The representatives of the Common wealth, acting with all due fidelity to them selves, to the Court, nnd to the Jury, bave felt themselves compelleeto say that they cannot abk for a verdict of guilty agalust the prisoner upon the evidence. II remains for ns to say, both agreeing en tliely ui ou the points. that there lsuo evidence upon which the Commonwealth would be warranted in asking a verdict, and therefore the course Just aunounoed by ihe DUlrlct. At torney meets with oar entire approval and approbation. We think it would be straining the law to go through the form of arguing the cast upon tue evidence as il now stands. We thlukthe cir cumstances would not warrant the District Attorney in asking you to render a verdict ot guilty of -any form of felonious homicide as against the defendant. Therelore, agreeing entirely with the District Attorney, we submit the bill lo you, aud say lhat under this evidence we do not thluk there Is any thing lo warrant a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, of murder iu the second degree, or manslaughter. The indictment was given to the Jnry, and while the foreman was taking the sentiments of ills fellows, Judge Allison announced to Uie audience that If, upon the rendition, any de monstration was mado the ofleuders would ba Immediately arrested by the officers, and severely punished by the U lurt. Verdict of Not Ouillyi The Clerk then asked, "Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict?" Foreman "We have." Clerk "How say you, do you find the prisoner at the bar guilty of the felony of murder In manner and ioria as she stands indicted, or not guilty?" Foreman "Not guilty." The prisoner stood with her veil raised bat her face bowed, and a death-like stillness pre vailed throughout the room. The prisoner, npou motion of General Oollls, was discharged, and she left the court la ooia rfy Wllfi fcer C9rBvL SECOND EDITION LATEST BY TELEGRAPH.
