Now,,if South Carolina don’t get,out oftthei.Uqion, these proceedings, will be a dark blot bn the pages of her State history. While ibe above was being transacted at Charleston, the three Commissioners appointed' toWait upon the President, and make arrange ments about the U.

MbZTINO 01TH* HARBISBraO AND Lasoabtxk Railroad Compant. —A mooting k>f tb# stock* holders of thjs Company was, phiaonthe 27th nit, to take aottdnonlhe ad* epptance or rejection of the contract fd*. a more permanent lease of their Road to the Pennsyl vania Bail Road Company. Thera was!# large attendance of share holders. By IhsnfijJtion of the Chairman the roll er*? called, inrorder to ascertain ifn majoritjr^Of. the' Bteokwas repre sented. This operation entailed a great expen diture of time. It-waa finally ascertained that tbere'«ein4Moo Claires aemt of 21,742, the whole number of shares. This be ing more than a quorum of the stock, "the meet ing proceeded to business. Mr. Baker, the President of the Company, read the;eontraet made with the'Pennsylvania Railroad Company fortbe rane wal4»t-the Jeaae of the Harrisburg and. Lancaster Bailroad tp tl l6 Pennsylvania Railroad. The substance of the contract is that thb organisation of-'the i Harrisburg Company BhaUbemaintained.and -the' lease be made for < nine hundred and-oinetyfnine years; .the. Pen nsylvania Railroad Company mantaining the road and paying the interest on the funded debt, and ;BOTon ,per cent, per .annum on the stock. As the cost of the 'Harrisburg Railroad is some $96,000 greater than the .amount represented by the existing. numbor of shares. the Harris burg Railroad Company Is to be allowed to is jmfr. nineteen hundred shares of new stock, thus making the number of: shares equal the cost-of the work, and on this increased capital the Pennsylvania Railroad Company! will payseven per cent., which is eqaal to about seven and six-tenths per cent, per annum, on the present number of shares. The new stoCk to he issued is a fraction less than one tp eleven. The profits since the last dividend in October are to be di vided among stockholders; and the dividend periods, hereafter, are; to be in .January and July, instead,of April and October. Attached to the contract was a resolution authorizing the Board of Directors to consumate the contract and the lease to the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany. A. motion was made that the resolution be adopted., After a protracted and animated I discussion, the vote was taken viva voee, on the ratification of tho contract, and it was almost unanimously adopted. .Several gentlemen ob jected ,to taking the, vote; in this /way, and Mr. TbomasS. Smith called for a stock vote. The Secretary stated bis belief that under the charter of the company a stock vote was not necessary where there was a clear majority of stock repre sented at the meeting. - The chairman announ ced that the question, was decided in the affirm ative. There being much objection to a viva voee vote in settlepoenl of the question, a stock vote was called and ordered. The majority in favor of ratifying the contract was about ten thousand shares. The Pennsylvania Central Company will now lake control of the Harris burg and Lancaster road, causing an entire change of programme,, and the dismissal of the Conductors and other employees of the last named company, Ten Years or Railroading in the United States.— The world has probably never, wit-! nessed, in any department of' industrial and mechanical developemenjtj such an extraordi nary phenomenon as that of. railroad construc tion in the United States,- during the lost ten years. Railroading had commenced long be fore! but the larger portion of the immense num ber and magnitude of railroads in this country, has been made between 1850 and 1860, and al most altogether between 1850 and 1857. To show this clearly and strikingly, wo will present •the number and length of railroads, in each Stale, in each of .the years 1850 and 1860, as near as wo con ascertain them.

The engineer, being M cunning as Reynard is said to be, “ shut off,” and watched his opportunity until the fox should, attempt to cross the track in front of the engine, wben/he would put on steam and capture him. this design he was so far successful as to cripple the animal. The fireman jumped off with/a view of getting tbe game alive, bat Mr. Reynard show ed fight, and bad to be killed bejrore he would allow iiimsolf to be captured.
