THE NATIONAL UAlLttOAU. A New Railroad to New York City-Quick Tlmo and Good Accoininodatloua Kleel Italic, Iran Bridges, and No CroturinRa at Uoad Urude-An lCuihualaatle Meeting of Capitalist lu Favor 1 die New Enterprise. A new and most important enterprise of the great est Interest to the citizens of Philadelphia has lately been inaugurated, of which fact but few of the mem bers of our community are aware, aud which none, probably, would expect. We are at last to have something definite lu the shape of a new and quick joutetto New York, which end Is to be attained by the construction of a totally indepc ndent line of rail road between that great city and our own. '1'he history of the enterprise Is this: Some time ago the Legislature of Pennsylvania incorporated the Philadelphia and Attleborongh Railroad Com pany, empowering them to construct a railroad frotn Philadelphia, through Attleborough, in Bucks county, to the Delaware river. At .later dates soveral companies have been incor porated by the State of New Jersey, with authority to oonntrnct railroads through the counties of Mer cer, Somerset, and Union in that State, These com panies are authorized to connect their railroads ; and by a recent sum y of the several lines, the fact was ascertained that by means of these connections a line of railroad may be constructed between Phila delphia and New Y ork, passing through a district of the greatest agricultural wealth, where no railroad acuities now exist. The new rout will be shorter iy several miles than that now In use between the two cities. The several companies have already en tered Into contracts by which the connections will be Insured. The Attleborough Company has changed Its name to the National Railroad Company. A new Board of Directors has been elected, and the project generally has a very business-like laok. A large meeting of those Interested, as well as of some of the substantial farmers living along the line of the contemplated road, was held yesterday In the office of the National Railroad, In this city. Mr. Henry Lewis, the new President, occirpled the Chair, aud gave a short address. He spoke of the determination of the directors to bnlld a railroad, which In construction and equipment would De se cond to none in this or any other country. It was to be a double track, of the best quality of steel rails, aud ballasted heavily with stone ; all the bridges were to be of Iron, and highway and other railroad cross ings were to be either above or below the grade of this line of rails. Every Improvement for the safety r comfort of the travelling public should be adopted. With such a road, the running time would be equal to that of the best European roads. It was not thought too much to say that the time between Philadelphia and New1 York could be reduced to two kours. Mr. Edward C. Knight, the new Treasurer, and Mr. A. S. Llvlngton aud Colonel Freese, of Trenton, N. J., also spoke In favor of the project. District Attorney Gibbons made mention of the legal points involved, as regards the Camden rind Amboy Railroad. He stated that two eminent legal gentlemen of Trenton had thoroughly examined the nuhlect, and they declare that there Is no dithculiy to the way. Subscriptions were received for five thousand hares of stock, and this was somewhat of a surprise to the projectors of the enterprise. The ottlcors se lected are all men of means, who are determined to ' carry the thing througn, and lu the very best manner. The members of the board could them selves subscribe for the entire stock and build the load. The chief engineer is Mr. J. B. Culver, a gentle Van thoroughly competent for the undertaking. BuSFKCTBD'eF Ttikft. About half-past 1 o'clock this morning, Sarah Cooper was arrested at twenty fourth and Callowhlll straets, on susplnlon or the larceny of a quantity of clothing, which she carried In a basket. She gave her resldeuce on Front street below Vine, but a letter found her possession was directed to Sarah Shaw, Seventeenth and Curl ton streets. The clothing Is apparently new. and Is supposed to have been stolen. Sarah will have a hearing at the Central Police Station this afternoon. Vxtiko or TH Scott I.bqion. The soldiers of h.

The New Htreet Contractors and the Old Filthy Ntrrrls Tho mntiH Aoaeaat of Work that ha brrn lo "Hope deferred makcth the heart sick," Is an old, time-worn adsge. and If It be a truo one, then verily sickness ought to prevail In this goodly city to aii alarming extent. For the past two years our citi zens have been hoping and longing for the arrival of the day when wllh trttth It could be said, ours' reels are clean. I, ret than one year ago, when the Board of Health took In hand tho busluess of disposing of the contractu for street cleansing, each congratu lated the other that all would be well. Rut. alas 1 lor human expectations, what had been considered bad was rendered w- M1 tno MfA.t 0ouuitlOn of luo streets TV'ftJi tenfold more filthy than the former. At the outset tho contractors procured a few brooms and scrapers, and a scjnnd of superannuated specimens ot Vinirnwi Aoino, and for a week or two they nightly raised a dust; then they ttrmisted, and left the raiding of the same to the mild winds of summer, and the st ronger ones of miUnnn. In oue or two Instances a hullabaloo was raised shout the issnlngof warrants to the contractors who hsdnot fulfilled the terms of their rgreemenM, but this, as tne sequel showed, was merely lor the purpose of throwing df In the eyes of tne public The con tractors received their ensh, and all was well. '1 owurds tiio ciosu oi the year just passed, anotner hue and cry was raised, and It wns boldly assorted that none of the old contractors would recelvo notice at t?io hands of tho Board : but when the time for the awarding of the contracts arrived, nnd the ua-ncs of the successful bidders were made public, It was found that four of the old contractors for cleaning the streets had received freih contracts. Vv the old rules of the Board, street cleaning and removal of ashes were made separate and distinct, there being eighteen street, cleaning districts unij nine ash dlHtiiots. According to the new wrinkle there nre now twenty-two districts in all. and the cleaning of streets and removal of oilnl, allies, etc., are columned, 'l nc new list snows trial out or tne nine old contractors for the ash districts live have received new contracts. This, to the public eye, looks well, especially for the discretion of the Board. The new contracts read : "For cleaning aud keep ing thoroughly clean at all times, all the puved streets, alleys, courts, inlets, market houses, gut ters, gutters under railroad crossings, gutters of un paved streets, and all other public highways, and the immediate removal of all filth nnd dirt there from, after the same has been collected together; alto, the removal of ashes, and the collection and burial of all dead animals, embraced within the several districts named and described In specifica tions of said districts, all to be done under the super vision and to the entire satisfaction of the Board." A tramp yesterday showed that although some time lias passed since the award of the contracts, but little or nothing has been done by the new or old parties. In some of the districts the ashes have been removed, and In one or two the dirt has been scraped into pl!es and there left. This Is the case on Klghth street, from Vine to Chesnut, the district under the control of Daniel McNlchols. At every few steps a pile of dirt Is observable on each side of the street, and before night It will all, or at least a major portion of It, have alighted on the goods In the various fiirroundiug stores, carried there by the freaks of the wind. ( if course that will save cartage. The High Constables visit their tespective dis tricts, which are subdivided as follows, :atly: First, Hcond, and Third, High Constable Curlev; Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighteenth, High Constable Kelsh: Klghl'i, Ninth, and Tenth, High ('(instable Mutt; Klevenlh, Twelfth, and Thirteenth, High Constable Logan; Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Six teenth, Seventeenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-second, High Countable Duhaven; and re port to the Mayor the condition of the streets. This morning Mr. Curley reports that the "greater portion of all the streets of his district are In a bad condition, more particularly Alaska, Otsego, Marlon, Swanson, Cuba, Slilppen, Front, South, Penn, Dock, J.arkin, Water. Plum, Guilford, and all west of Broad street. Seventeenth street, from Carpenter to Washington, is covered wllh mud to the depth of two feet, on some of tho main streets the dirt has bMii collected from the tides and piled up, whilst the gutters and the spacu between tho ralia of the pnnscuger railways are l(t untouched. Mr. Ktlsh reports Market xtrcet. Darby road, Thirtieth, 'Ililily-sixth, 1 liiil'-nlnth, Forty-first street, and Ilaverford road as dirty. Chesnnt street, from Thirty-second to Tliirty-iltlrd street, has beoa cleaned, but tho gutters and rail spaces are left In ineir omi condition. Mr. Nutt reports his streets iw fllthv. whilst Mr. Pehaveu reports that ho cannot find any streets In Munnyunk at all. It lu nothing but mud and filth on all sloes, and the bed of the streets have passed en tirely out oi sight. 1 h la all looks exceedingly well ior a ni'ginning. Again, now that the contracts have been all awarded, It has been suddenly discovered that dllll cultywlll be experienced In the removal of offal, dead annuals, etc., during tho summer months, un less a special contract be made therefor. It Is con tended that the contractors will not bo able to pro perly attend to this branch, and that. In order to secure uie neaun oi me city, a now contract must be awarded, and tho city, through tho Board of Health, will foot the bill. Why this was not dis covered before we cannot say, and merely menUou It now to show how tho "cat jumps." Fires Trim Moknino A Lumber Officr and Stobkhot'sk Dkhtiioykd Damaok to a Obavki.

The alarm was promptly given, and the 11 re in en were soon on the ground, and to their efforts is due the saving of a considerable amount of property. The olilco was a one-story brick building, and Is now a total wreck. In the yard was stored a vast amount of lumber, but fortunately the flames did not communicate with it. The entire loss wul not exceed six hundred dollars. Shortly arter two o'clock this morning a fire broke out in the storehouse of Charles Cnminings k Co., manufacturers of glue, hide whips, leather, etc. The building Is located at No. 44 lilchmond street, and has a front of about thirty feet, and a depth of one liundred feet.

Rltuallvlle reant In New Vorlt Sermon by Hie Itev. Jtlr. llllnes. A genuine novelty was afforded the New York ritualists last night at St. Albau's Church, lu the shape of an eve-Kplphauy celebration of solemn ves pers. The Ideal sought to be embodied by these nocturnal religious rites is the piactlce of "watch ing" In the churches on the vigils of festivals during the early ages of Christianity a custom excised by modern thought during the oast six centarles, and known only at present In cloisters modelled on ab beys like La Trappe and the Grand Cnarteuse. In Charteuse, In France, er that paradise of solitudes, Vallambrosa,Jn Italy. At eight o'clock, with con ventional punctuality, the vesper bell rang out softly on the clear, frosty air, while simultaneously the sweet tOHcs of a neat little organ culled back the wandering thoughts of the devout aetcuibled around the brilliantly lighted altar of the little rustic Gothic edifice. "Solemn respers" were ushered 1 t,y a long pro cession of yoathfal eoolytes, clad In surplices and bearing llgh's; of members or tho choir engaged In devont plmorty, and or priests habited also la snowy garment. A large cross wan borne hlgH aloft, and the Rev. Dr. Morell bronght np the rear with devont step and downcast eyes, and wearing a white satin cope tastefully trimmed with red and gold fringe. The chanting was entoned In a style and measure which evidently affected the rugtibrlom solemnity of "Even Song," as heard in the majestic aisles of snch cathedrals us Cologne or Alx-la-Cha-pelle. In the hymns, prayer, and anthems, the wor shippers joined wnn evident devotion, nu -e b(m. ing and other movements, cmbloiuai1'" 0f adoration, received most marked attei.tlo No'snecial devo tional habit of thought wj 8pprent In the prayers nscd J tmt one Of t..e lessons read by the Rev. Mr. jiuwnry, gave uio virgin w ot tier or the neaeemer much prominence. A short sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Mllnes. on the Epistle to the Romans. Tit, 21, In which ho pointed out the varlons services rendered by t lirUtlenlty to the world, and for which It made so poor a return. He thowed that Christianity was the parent of civilization; that Its forces and motives gave birth to and nourished our present cnlture and refinement; that It preserved letters and the line aris, ana poured out blood freely in lis terrnnc war fare wllh barbarism and tho evil passions of men. Modern cliarlisbln Institutions all had their blrtllu the bosom of the Church. He deplored, In pathetic terms, the fearful havoc, made upon the Church by the ten thousand heresies which ran riot within her bosom ; bewailed the want of patience In those who, despairing or finding their Ideal Christianity In the Anglican communion, went over to Rome, and pointed out that, In this view, these men, whom he designated as devout and earnest, might find, though they now kept qnlet, that In parting with Anglican Ism they had not parted wllh their religious troubles. He contrasted advanced Anglicanism with Roman Catholicism, and considered that although there was much to weary and vex the spirit In the wild license of opinion and practice prevailing around and calling ltscir Christianity, yet they had much reason to be comforted by the growing ralth and fervor of their brethren, and particularly by the de votion towards the mystery or Christ's real presence In the cucharlst. Solemn benediction next followed, during which the congregation were engaged In adoration. THE TELEGRAPHIC STRIKE.

J. 15 l.YNDAl.I, ) The following despatch has been received: New Yohk, Jan. f, isio. The difficulty now cx istiiiii between tho Western L uion Telegraph Cora puny and the members of "The Telegraphic Protec tive j.eague nas occome a siinicctoi puouc interest, and it is this fact that prompts ns to fairly state our position In the matter. Erroneous impressions have been conveyed by tho publication of reports In tho newspapers, ostensibly witn a view to general lnior. mation, but really In tho interests of our late em ployers. These Impressions It is our duty to counter act. In so doing, however, we desire It to be dis tinctly understood that our only motive is to cor rectly Inform the public, and not to create false sentiments by an e-x purte statement In relation to the ufYuir. Onr organization Is composed of Independent di visions, known as circuits; ono 01 these is dosig. natvd v "The Grand Circuit," and is entrusted with tho performance of duties incumbent on that nosition. The preumblo of our constitution sets forth tliut the nature of otir busluess is such that a vast combination of capital must ever intervene bo- tween onr most Intelligent efforts and a commensu rate reward of an appreciative public, and that we seek not only to prottct our own rights but those or the public, by retaining in our ranks the most worthy ami sklliul operators In tho countryi Instead or allowing them to be drlve.u from the profession through tho unjust, exercise of superior power, wielded by the willing agents of our employers, who are ever seeking oiliciul commendation by the exhi bition of parsimonious economy. Onr organization extends to nnd includes members at san i rannso, California. On Friday, December ni,lS69, our Orand Chief Ope rator received a message In cipher, Informing him that on Monday, January 8, the members at San Francisco would decline to submit to a reduction which the company proposed to make in their sala ries. The next day (Saturday, January 1), we re ceived another despatch from them Informing us that two members had been discharged for refusing to submit to; the reduction; that they should resist it by stopping work, nnd culling upon other circuits to aiu tnem. Accordingly, on January 8 they suspended work. This committee was appointed at a meeting of the New lork circuit, ana msiruciea to negotiate ior aa amicable settlement by requesting that salaries at San Francisco no not reduced, ana tnat those wno were discharged for refusing to submit to tho pro posed reduction be reinstated. In reply the Western I'nlon officials stated that, on the authoiity of Mr. Mumford, their agent at San l'lanclsco, no salaries had been reduced. In a second communication we endeavored to effect an houoiable, peaceable settlement, Insisting upon tho riliit-tatciiicnt or mcmoera wnose salaries nad been reduced, aud assuring the Western Lnlon Executive that memtiers at other points, wno naa also sua i)cndcdwork. would resume their duties. This proposition was rejected, and the case at pre sent stands thus: The Wefctorn lTnion oillcials rely liniilicitlr upon Mr. Munilord's statement, and the members of the League believe that the statemcats of our circuit oillcer at San Francisco are strictly true, and shall continue to believe them until proved untrue. In the latter event we will return to our duties at former salaries, guaranteeing to members nnd non-membors who have aided us in the diffi culty the benefit and protection ot our League in the future. In the meantime this committee await 1 lie action of the Western Union Kxecutlve, look ing to a peaceable settlement of this diinoulty. W. W. iscanANS, Chairman. j: m.pItkAs,"""1"- 1870.
