Under the charter to build a
rail
road from Wilkes-B rre to the New
York State line, the controlling inter
est being owned by this company,
the work of construction has been
pursued, and nine miles
of, from the connection with the Le
high Valley rob e d at Wilkes-Barre to.
Pittston, there connecting with the
Lackawanna and Bloomsburg road,
has , been completed and brought into
active and profitable use: At the
northern end of the line about twen
ty-one-miles from Towanda to Waver=
ly,' is completed and a connection
there made with the Erie railroad.
The amount received from the
stockholders of this Company who
subscribed for Lehigh Valley railroad
stock, for the purpose' of being ap
propriated to this work amounting
to $1,151,120, has been expended.—
Besides the fifth and last installment
of nearly $400,000 payable op the
fifteenth January ultimo., it will - re
quire, it is estimated, a million and a
half more money to complete the road
and procure a trill supply of rolling
stock, depots, and shops to meet the
requirements of the business that
will o er as soon as the road is open
ed.
Speaking of the' proposed exten
sion of i their road from Pittston to
Waverly, the report closes as fol
lows :,
In regard to the policy of building 103
miles of railroad, from a connection with
the Lehigh Valley road, at Wilkes-Bane, to
a connection with the Erie railroad, at Wa
verly, that work was undertaken by the
Board of Managers of this 'Company, not
solely on account of it own intrinsic value,
but because it was .deemed cf vita *Tort
ance to tile interests of the Lehigh
,Palleyrailroad:
We have competition in the Mahony for
the coal trade of that region. We have
competitors for the coal trade in the Wy.
oming both south and east ; but in regard
to the road up the North Branch, when that
road is completed we have no competitors
on that line, and, to develop a rich and pro
lific country, rich in agnoulture—as the
opening of the road will do—is an object of
primary importance to the interests of our
road ; besides it will open the best routes
for the coal in Wyoming to 'Central and
Western New York, and to the lakes, and
will alsO open railroad communication north
and south, for the bituminous coal of Brid-'
ford county. In passengers and freight this
road will deyelop an extensive country goy
without railroad facilities, and py our close
connection and control, we may reasonably
expect a trade, both isi amount suf%
that will amply pay the Lehigh V alley for
all its outlay in that direction in the peat
and in the future. Independent of its great
value as an adjunct to the Lehigh Valley,
the directors have no doubt that the road
up the North Branch will make a refurn of
profile that will bequi t e satisfactory.
If it kind been 'aft fey the Lehigh Valley
road to remain as it, was, wit hout lionldn_tc
the future, theTirectors would have had
far easier task than bag !alien to their lot ;
but they felt the necessity of adminktoring
the affairs of the Company, not only for the
present, but for the future. In qudertakint
this important extension, the - Directors
have no doubt that it will only add to the
business and profits of the Lehigh Valley
but mVe it power to attract busi
ness to lie main stem, that it otherwise
could not command,
The wisdom of the policy pursued
by the Directors, we have no doubt,
will be amply proven by the success
of the railroad from Wilkes-Barre to
the State line, in earning profits fOr
the stockholders. The Pennsylvania.
and New York Cantil and Railroad
Company will have the shortest and
most feasible route fur the transpor
tation of aottiritoite - goal, from the
Goal fields of the Lehigh and Wyo
ming valleys to Central and Western .
New York, reaching .4 market en
equalled is the country, by easy
grades, to supply which, in'a few
years, will tax the utmost capacity
of the Road and Canal.
The annual consumption of anthra
tato aroj is increasing at a rapid and
certain rate, as is the subject ofma
thematical demonstration. The pop
ulous and fertile " counties of New
York reached by this road, are at.
ready complaining of the ecaroity of
fuel, and are . anxiously devising
means by whiCh the anthracite and
bituminous coals of Pennsylvania
can be cheaply procured. Already
several roads are projected, looking
to a connexion with this road at" W

The second step in the great and
imposing work of impeachment Wild
taken Tuesday. Mr. Stevens arose
4 in his place, in the House, aud stated
that the Committee of the House op
pointed to wait on the Senate, and
inform it as to the action of the
House in the matter of impeachment
had fulfilledthe t ir duty.. Upon .ask-'
Ing the Senate to take older for the
appearance, of: Andrew Johnson,
- President of the- i .llnited States,. be
fore them, the Senate replied " Odder
shall be taken."
The articles of impeachment will
be reporto for consideration and
passage by the House.
,The body
voted that their aousideration should
take the precedence of all other mat
tiro which, might come before the
House, that, the remarks should be
confined' to fifteen minutes in length,'
and a Vote taken upon the next, Leg
' alaiivedaY, after the discussion en
the impeachment article began. The .
Committee on rules of order intro
duced a bill that, pending the resole;
tion to susfend the rules, the House"
;may entertain one motion; that the
House do now adjourn, but that after,
the•respli, is annonneedj , it shall not;
.entertain any other ililatoly motion,
until the vote is taken , on suspension
This provision was spade to prevent
filibustering by a minority of less
than one-third on any day when it is
in order to suspend the rules. , The
Committee on articles of Impeach:
ment, appointed • byt the, House on
- Monday, composed, of Messrs. Bout
well, Stevens, Bingham, Wilson, Lo-
gan, Julian and . Ward i 'held their
Prot meeting foi eousultation, yester
day. afternoon. It seemed to be the
impression that few charges would
lie preferrekand only a small num
ber of wiuteesea would be required,

Senate shall resolve itself into a
Court of Impeachment. j
The attendanee in the Renate yes

sion, was unusually large in anticipa
tion of the visit of the Committee of
the House. In the midst of the pro
ceedings of that body,Messrs Stevene
and Bingham entered, the former,
leaning on theJatter.. Profound si
lence reigned, while Ur. Stevens pro
claimed their mission by Ike order of
the House.,

'After a brief debate, the Senate
nominated a committee of seven, Ito

'therefore,as ‘atlfirst , :believed, to be
inevitable. Bo‘e hesitation is ex

President=aVers that he is willing to
place himself before the country, on
his last message, respecting, the
grounds for the removal of Mr. Stan

of the Adminisbation, of his: entity lOYaltY,
