of the Scbuylkill coal field, is now being con structed.. The map - annexed to the report of the Chief En gineer exhibits the extent, location and connections of all of these several roads, as well as of all other railroads now owned, , lea aed or controlled by this Company, and the tatoliar statement accompanying the map shows that the aggregate lengths of all ot these railroads' including. sidings, amounts to 1,142 miles of single track road, As this system of railroads, projected some years ago, approaches completion.; there , is no reason to doubt the wisdom of the policy which suggested its •constroction. Soffit - as the roads are located in the coal regions, it will be seen that. the effect of their construction has been to render tributary to the Main line almost the entire territory of tho southern and middle coal fields, and if a supply of cars suffi cient to carry away! the product 'of the mines is hereafter maintained, and the inducement of, mod 'crate rates of transportation offered to the trade, the Company can rely with confidence upon the in dividual enterprise and energy of the coal opera tors as sufficient at all times to furnish a large and constantly increasing amount of tonnage. The new roads constructed and secured outside of the coal fields are either important links in,or teed era of, the lino of road extending from Harrisburg to Allentown, now owned or controlled by this Company, over which passes a very large amount of traffic between New York city and the West; or are designed as tributarses to the main line, especially valuable its contributing a large supply: of iron ore for the 'ula's of the furnaces along the road. NeXt in value to the coal traffic, the iron interests of the Schuylkill Valley claim the attention and -deserve the protection of the Company; and the wisdom of this policy which for the past dew. years has been securing an I=f:tiling supply of iron ore for consumpt ion along the main line of the road wilt be fully juetitied by future results. The Lebanon Valley branch, the East Pennsylvania railroad, the Reading and Columbia railroad and the Colebrook dale railroad drain regions containing inexhaustible supplies of iron ore ; limestone of the best quality is found In great abundance along the lines ; in the rich agricultural valleys of Montgomery, Berke, Chester, Lebanon and Dauphin counties labor will at all times be found as abundant as in any other portion of the State ; anthracite coal of the very best description for smelting, puddling and heating purposes will always be as plentiful as in any other region ; and It is believed that there is not at pres ent in Pennsylvania any other locality possessing greater advantages for the manufacture of iron than the valley of the Schuylkill. The rolling mill of the Company at Reading has turned ont during the last year 17 ,037 tons of fin ished fails ' of which amount but two and a half tons have been worn out and removed from the track. Out of the 8,071 tons of rails made at the Company's mill and laid in the year 1868, one hun dred and eighty tons have up to this time been taken up and returned for re-rolling. While the rails thus manufactured have cost the Company an average of less than the current market price, the result in their wear, when subjected to the test of our large tonnage, proves the superiority of their construction. During the last year two steam colliers of about COO tons burthen each• have been built for the Com pany, and are now engaged in , transporting coal from" Richmond to Eastern ports. Four others, two of 1,000 tons burthen and two of 800 tons each, are now under contract, and will be placed in the trade early in the present year. A large amount of real estate has been bought during the year, principally situate at Richmond • and on Willow street, in the city of Philadelphia. During the year just closed rolling stock of the value of $1,162,286.53 has been added to the property of the Company, as follows: ' 1,054 eight whee led cars, built by the . Company .... 10 first-elate engines, built by the Company. • Work on one engine, built by the ' Company 4.151.65 10 first-class engines, bought of al. _.

It being discovered, however, that the, necessities of the contractors frequently compelled them to sacrifice these securities at less than their proper value, it was thought advisable to pay for all work in cash, and to furnish the means to do so by a loan to be negotiated by the Company itself: Since the first of 4une, therefore, all pay merits to contractors have been made in cash, furnished temporarily .out of the dividend fund. To reimburse this fund, and at the same to provide means to prosecute the new work and to supply additional rolling stock during the years 1870 and 1871, the managers bay% negotiated; at par, without commissions, a loan of $5,000,000 of seven per cent. coupon bonds,tited January 1, 1870, payable ip twenty years, o -half 7 0 convertible at the option of the holder into tock at par at any time after Issue; and the othe half con vertible at par at any time after th hat of Jan uary, 1872. Of this loan the sum of 1,500,000 will be issued to replace that amount o' le past year's earnings used for construction or,dew work; $2,000,- 000 will be furnished and eXpepfled during the year 1870, and the remaining $l, f,OOO during the year DV , for new rolling stock d for the completion of IN work now in progress or ntemplated to be placed under construction; and hereafter the earnings of the Company can e aPpropriate,d to the payment of semi-annual casVdividends. To any of the sdockholders who may be disposed to Complain of / the increase of the capital stock of the Company during the last seven years, it will be a sufficient answer to say that the tonnage, gross receipts and net profits have increased in a far 71_ greater ,proportion than the united capital and debt , ' of the Company, and that the result of the expendi ,etures upon which the increase of capital was based .has been to secure perpeteally' a great and ever increasing tonnage for the road. A railroad Company owning a properly-con structed and well-equipped line of road, connecting two large cities, and reit sing. solely for its business upon the traffic interchanged between the termini of its line, might reasonably expect to earn enough money annually not only to declare a fair dividend to its stockholders, but, in addition thereto, to enlarge its supply of rolling stock, so as to meet the wants of its increasing business without adding to its debt or capital stock; and such a result would properly bo accepted by its stock holders as an iiiidence of prosperity and finan cial strength. But in the case of this Company, en gaged in developing an area embracing two distinct coal-fields—one of sixty miles and the other over thirty miles in length—where every valley required a new railroad, and where the increase of tonnage incident to the opening of the new laterals has been no great as to require at times an annual expendi ture for additional rolling stock of over a -million of dollars, it was necessary to resort to either of the following plans in order to accomplish the desired result! First—To charge such high rates for tolls and transportation as 'mild have enabled the Company to earn money enough; after payments of cash divi dends, to supply the funds required for improve ments. Ilecond—To increase the debt of the Company by nuns made to finish the new work; or, Third.—To increase the capital stock, either by stock dividends paid in lieu of earnings diverted to improvements, or by receiving additional subscrip tions to stock, issued to furnish the necessary funds for new construction. The first of these plans could not have been seriously thought of for a moment. Although ex cessive rates of charges might result in a temporary advantage, they would not only have proved in the end destructive to the Company, but would have been manifestly unjust to the public. Of the re maining two plans the latter was thought the wiser, and It was considered best to devote the earnings of the Company to the construction of new improve ments and 'the building of new rolling stock, and to issue to the shareholders stock dividends in lieu of .. ,the money. During the last seven years the capital of the Company has been increased by stock dividends, in all .. $12,360,670.77 From the above deduct the 411301111t8 based upon the purchase of bonds-- by the sinking funds . Balance This snm of 1610,683,850.06 of aggregate stock dividends has, however, been issued as the repre sentative of 517,597,268.7.1 of actual net earnings invested in permanent improvements—the dif ference of 86,913,399.68 having - been,-from time to time, charged to income account, so that the in tressed capital stock should represent the property upon which it 'was based at a gold standard of value; and in conformity to this conservative rule of the Company, a five per cent. stock dividend was paid last July, and an issue of 5608,800 of the plain six per cent. bonds was made during the year, there has been charged to income' account out of the net earnings of the past year the sum of SWI4- 10548. The manegers regret to announce that the health of Mr. Charles E. Smith, the late President of the Company, became so seriously Impaired that in April last he felt obliged to resign his position, in order to visit Europe, with the hope that a year's relaxation from the cares of business would effect a cure. During his absence, at his ,request, and that of the managers, Mr. Franklin B. Gowen, who has been for several years one of the counsel of the Company, consented to accept the presidency, and wasaccordiug, elected to that Wilco by the Board ripen the 28th of April last. • By order of the Board of Managers. .

GESTATE ]/OBE AT HOME. . Visit by Blanchard Jerrold. In the ,Gentleman's Magazine Blanchard Jerrold describes a receni visit to, the home of Gustave Due. lie says : "I met Dore at an embassy ball last au tumn, gay In ~the midst of the soft light and softer laughter, and full of ceaseleSs talk. He broke away suddenly, seein g the early morn ing hour,'saying: I must to bed; three hours are barely rest enough for a worker !' The time was something under 3 A. M. "There is work in the pleasure, there is study in the street. We were driving through Windsor Park last summer, and Dore's eyes covered the landscapes as they were unfolded before us, but he made no note, great as his delight was in the grandest of parks. , A lady asked whether he would not like to stop at some of the points and make some sketches? " No, no,' be said, never taking his eyes off the scenery;' I've a lair quantity of collodion in my head' " When we were at Boulogne together in 1555, to see the disembarkation of the Queen, Dore intently watched the leading points of the great . ceremonial, and by way of fixing a few matters of detail in his memory, made some hasty pencil Marks in a tiny book he carried in his waistcoat pocket. This power of fixing a scene in the memory correctly be longs to the student: who has been true and constant to nature. Just as Houdon so edu cated his son's observation as to impress every article in a toy shop window upon his memory at a glance, so the - :student, whose training has the grandest - object, that of 'giving en during forms to beauty, acquires the power of eliminating • his mate rial ' from a confused scene, through which he is fleetly traveling. But only the ar tist who honestly lives in art obtains complete power over art . material, and thorough com mand of beauty hidden to the common world, in all kinds of out-of-the-way places. I have often heard sympathetic students of Dore's genius notice the head and tail pieces of his Don Quixote, as exquisite bits of observation rendered in masterly sketches. The village scraps are racy stories, told with a stroke or two of the pencil. A touch of the brush plumps yen in Seville. Let those conscientious dwell ers on an artist's work, who love to get on terms of familiarity with his genius, and to mark all the richness'of its by-play, turn from Don Quixote to a less known series of illustra ticins by the same thinker and observer with his pencil. t‘ 1 remember running through some twenty numbers of - the Tour du Monde one morning, in the Hue.. Bayard, ;having found, them lying about the studio: • Dore'S Spanish pencillings 2/ by-the-way wet. scattered through the pages. / The variety o interest in the subjects was Me most strikhi characteristic of the series. The artist ha /caught every phase of life—from the palace n the fierce light and heat, to the dusky l poot ei use gate, and the beggars' haunts by the c I rlrch doors. He touched upon each incident :nd pecullatity of interest, as he carelessly turned the pages with the paper-knife, cutting as he went. • The man had becu•thinking, while the artist had been taking in local form and I color. Here was the work of the artist of broad sympathies, of constant speculation, the beloved of men of all the arts. For that which distinguishes Dore, chez lid, is the art atmo sphere in which his pleasures take their rise. In the spacious salon of the Faubourg St. Ger main, covered with his work, is a little world of art. The professor of science, the ^inaa of letters, the gifted songstress, the physician, the composer, the actor, make up the throng ;, acid the amusements are music and discourse of things which are animating the centres of in tellect. A happier and nobler picture than this handsome, square salon, alive with the artist's, friends, each one specially gifted, and with the painter-musician in the centre, dreamily talking of some passing incident of scientific interest, with his fingers wandering listlessly over the strings of his violin, could not be—of success turned to worthy ends. The painter has been through a very hard day's toil. You have only to open a door beyond the salle a-manger to light upon, a work-room packed with blocks and • proofs, pencils and tints and sketches. A long' morning here,follo wed by a laborious afternoon in the Rue Bayard, have earned the learned leisure among intellectual kindred upon this common ground of art,- where all bring some thing to the pic-nic. Frolic fancy is plentiful. Old friends are greeted with- a warmth we for mal people cannot understand. The world famous man is mon cher Gustave, with proud motherly eyes beaming upon him, and crowds of the old familiars of childhood with -affection- $666,736.07 116,762.09 92,136.72 ate hands upon his shoulders. Dinner is ae companied by bright; vise,nneonstrained talk; eollee and cigats in the loftysaloon ; and music and laughter, tbe professor parleying with the poet, the song-bird with the man of Science! "I make no vulgar intrusion upon Gustave Dote, gentlemen. I but pursue my theme from its starting-point, insisting that the artist is astonishingly various in subject, because his wind sweeps greedily through the various spheres of intellect of his day, and he is active over a broad surface. Also, that he has much work to show, because he is an insatiable worker, and cannot get out of his art. Such art atmospheres that in which Dore passes his life is not in England ; for the sufficient reason that the standard of the admirable is, with us, falsified, and people become great, affect fashion with the idle and the wealthy. In France, men of letters, professors of science, physicians, composers, make together an aristo cracy that is as exclusive us birth and fashion are in London. The Duke goes to Dore, and is proud and privileged to go! Crowns and coronets jostled upon Rossmi's staircase in the Chaitssee d'Antin, and in 110 sense to patron ize the maestro's maccaroni. The corps diplo matique is proud to repair to the salons of the popular author in the Champs Elysees. I was reading a few days ago that the-Emperor added some of his illustrious subjects to the banquet he gave his new deputies ; among these, Gus tave Dore. "It is the fashion—in which there is some thing-of wicked design,l am inclined to think —to dwell on the fertility of Gustave Dore. I r ?turn to this point. His art-inferiors would fain have the public believe that the power, which comes of patience, is the slap-dash work of a gifted, uncultivated, careless and greedy Man, with an eye fixed on the market for his works. The truth lies in an opposite direction, as I have already observed ; but this I should add—the pictorial poet (for Dore adds to those poets at whose fires he lights his imagination) and the painter, Who illustrates at the call of publishers that he may be able to paint accord ing to the flee bent of his ambition, is a pro lific illustrator, but a slow . and conscientious artist.' Observe the care with which he pre pared himself for the glory that is only now coming to him. For two years he pursued the anatomical course ,at a Paris hospital, and dissected with the rest of the students 1,685,811.71 $10,683,85"9.06 • At this date Gustave Dore has painted only sixty two pictures great 'and small ; not one•tenth the mum ter seine of his contemporaries tin count, THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PWLADEiP III A, TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1870 until ho knew every musele and articulation of the human frame, and could see, in his mind's ' the - harmonies of motion in distant points of the frame which follows the move-„ meld. of a limb.

The men who narrow their realm to the pigstye and the poultry-yard resent the universality of their brother as an invasion of a series of specialties. The flower painter is in high dudgeon because the creator of 'the 'Neophyte' presumes to reProdirc'e the glories of a hedgerow. He is denounced as an uccaparcur ; the tfat being that lie is much plus the artist, as ordinary men understand the painter of pictures. A man may have fine ex ecutive skill, be unsurpassed at the lights and shades of a satin dress, and, within his range, a faithful lens, casting a scrap of nature, a cor ner, upon a panel. And yet he shall not be an artist, in the highest sense and power of the' vocation. The special men are the sworn en emies of the Dares, as the trader in a single article is of the general dealer. It is the very width of his range which has raised the host of the artist's enemies. He has traveled over a continent, and has stirred a score of hostile tribes—who, individually, are to him what the tinker is to the architect. The sharpness of the hostility proclaims the doughty force of the knight who is in the field. I have not the slightest doubt that when, ''in the flush of his youth, Dore climbed to the cock crowning the steeple of St. Ouen, at Ileum; and 'descended by the lightning conductor, he Moved the wrath of the profesSional steeple-climber, who said, This is an invasion of my special territory." ••• • "Gustave Dore remains to be studied by his contemporaries In Ins intellec tual entirety. His range of travel in art is wide, because his sympathies are generous be yond artificial political frontiers ; and he passes from scene to scene, from race to race, froth realm to realni ' storing his treasure as he goes: No man could have a more abiding reverence for every form of progress. He will pass an evening discussing anatomy and physiology with doctors. Recreation takes always, with him, Mr. Gladstone's splendid definition of it. He rests from art in the domains of harmony and melody. He takes the lower, or less ambi tious walks of his profession, that he may get the strength. and means to climb to the high est range,; so that the snow shall fall upon him as upon the mountains he has hugged so often, at his highest.'?

Gibbons, President, made the opening address. He said that the house on Locust street, above Ninth, is furnished with beds, bedding, &c. It was only opened on the 21 of last month, and since that time the lodgers have averaged twenty-four a day, who paid six cents for their lodging; 1,230 meals had beeu furnished, for which each boy paid five cents. If the association is suc cessful, it is ,_proposed to obtain the adjoin ing house and fit it up in a manner similar to the one now in use. Rev. Phillips Brooks made an address. He 'said that the Newsboys' Home Association stops not it, at' fording a lodging or a meal, but recognizes that the boys are in want of education, and confines not Its usefulness to the feeding of the body, but the feeding of the mind—not ministering solely to a starving physical na ture, buesupplying a famishing intelligence. Any one who goes Into this institution will have his ideas of human nature enlarged when he Sees there a great struggling for indepen dence—even these little fellows struggling to be independent and self-supporting. Mr. Repay, of New York, then gave a description of the workings of a similar institution in New York. In thatcity be stated there was annu ally froth 15,000 to 20,000 children wandering the streets without homes, and exposed to the contact, of all the most degrading vices and mis ery, and are easily led astray. Since the open ing of the Herne, a year or two ago, about 10;- 000 of these bays bad been reclaimed. , The cost had been $144,223, of which the boys had paid in stuns Hof six cents for bed, and a like sum for' breakfast and supper respectively, nearly $25,000. In the "Lodging 'House" of New York in one year there were 5,000 lodgerS, and in all their lodging houses there were nearly 10,000. He then illustrated the Importance of these institutions by several in stances that had come to his ''knoWledge., In one, an inmate became a lieutenant in. the • army ; another, a minister of the Gospel, aid man other equally striking eases, where but for the lodging houses the subject of the anec dote would have been irretrievably lost. —The telegraph strikers had'a mass-meeting last evening, at Painter's Hall, Locust street, T.
