[Correspondence of the .Pliladel Olin Evening Bulletin, j
WirmiltuTox, .January - 11.--The. regular
term of the United States District Court, OM
menced in this city to-dity. An unusual in-•
terest was felt in the proceedings, as the
whisky cases, to which • allusion has already
been made, were expected. to come , before, it.
When the , first case was called Mon. :T. F.
Bayard, counsel for the defendants, represented
to the Court that John Donaho;•an,important
witnessin the cases, had last evening fractured •
his leg; and was consequently. unable to•be
present. Mr. Bayard asked that the cases
be continued. Archibald McKinley, John .1.
Toner, John Meelafferty and Wm. Baxter all
took oath thatUonabo was an important wit
ness in their respective cases, and that they •
could not safely go to trial without him. • The
Court then granted a motion for a continuance.
District-Attorney Higgins stated that the pro
perty of the above, defendants had been libeled,
and no return 'having been made, he moved
that a decree of confiscation beslssued by the'
Court against said property. ,Mr. Bayard
jected, and'the - Court reserved its decision until
to-morrow.
U. S. Marshal Dunn has appointed Daniel
B. Anderson, a highly respectable 'colored man,
one of the' bailiffs of this court. He was on
duty to-day for the first time, and atti acted
midi attention. Me is the first adored man
ever appointed to a Federal.. or ,State Office.: in
Delaware, the nearest approach to such an ap
pointment in, the past having been that of con
tractor wider the city government for removing
garbage, &c., from the streets. Colored' men
iave for some years competed with their white
fellow-citizens for this contract, and in several
instances. successfully.
Monday was
,a sort of railroad day, the
annual meeting of the P. W. and 8., the

point at which its stockholdtrs can meet until
the road is completed-‘-and I have not learaed
what transpired. No contest, however, was
expected, and .1 'presume the old Board wits

"Phomix Coal," and came over the Pennsylva

delivered here $1- per ton cheaper than tho.
Cumberland, This is an important item, as
our manufacturing establishments consume be
tween 15,000 and 20,000 tons yearly.
Seidel & Hastings, manufacturers or plate
iron, are building a new mill which will
double the capacity of their works.
They furnish nearly all the •. iron used
here for boilers, iron steamships, &c., and the
fact that they were compelled to so greatly
enlarge their works demonstrates how rapidly
our manufactures are increasing.
Work continuos its progress on the immense
new works erecting for the Edge MOor iron
Company, on. the , Delaware river just
north of the city line. It is said that
their, ; works when completed will
be the largest in the United States. They will
manufacture all kinds of iron and steel, includ

President.of the Uompany'; John Sellers„fr.,
Vice President; Eli Garrett, Secretary and

They avoid notoriety, and wish to go on quietly
with their work until they are ready to com

roads werell,B746,l4'4o;leaving a halance' , of
$706,064 46, to which is added the profit from
operating the Delaware Railroad, $8,742 45,
making the net earnings of the. P. W. , and B.
R.'B. Company for the year,sBos,7oo 01, out
of which two four per cent. ividends,amount

The passenger receipts . were over 4 per cent.,
and those frbnr'"frelght,'expi•ess 6re., ciVeel2
: per: cent, larger, than . the .prceediug year.
The grUss * sources were more
than 7 percent: greater4han in .180 S,. and the ,
operating expenses were .13 per cent. greater.
The latter increase is 'due to repairs, an
unusually larg&litimber of steel rails aiitbnew
cross-ties having been laid during the
But fOr this, the expenses wonld'have been less
than in 1808. , •
In relation to steel, rails the Directors speak
as follows: , ,
"The additional experience gained in the
use of steel rails confirms ; our preVieftsly ex
pressed opinion, that tr►ie' economy deMands
their use upon your read in place of iron rails.
Of over tld}•ty (2,0) miles laid with (EngliSh)
.steel rails upon your road, not Ono rail has been
'removed for any imperfection, and but two
American steekrailsi. out of More than two
thousand, have shown any iMperfeetion. •
"The best steel rails can' •be . boot . for . de-
livery in 1870 at but 20 pereent:adVanee upOn
the cost o> best iron rails, and' unless. hence
forth 'there . : be, a 'greater relative difference in,
the cost of iron and steel,, the purchase of iron
rails for renewals of your tracks , will probably
cease:" • • . •
This, of course,, is interesting to:thoge about
trying the experiment. The report further
states that all depreciation in the road, rolliug
stock or buildings 'has been met; by A. liberal
expenditure,and the property of, the company
is believed to be at least as valuable as it ever
was.
The business of the Delaware' Railroad
afforded t
„profit of lie.arly $.95,000 daring the
year, three-fourths of which Were:placed td,the
credit of the previous lossea-ef the P.. W. &8..
, Co; in operating the Delaware road, and the
other fourth was added to the earnings of , the
P. W. At B. co: for 1869.
, The prospects of the Delaware road continue
to itiiprove, and , about 2;000,000 - baskets of
peaches' came Over It last Year. Durinc the
year several branch roads, of which the Del
aware forms the stem, have been completed.
They are the Dorchester anti .Delaware, 32
miles; the Maryland and Delaware, 44 miles;
the Junction and Breakwater, 40 miles. Ten
miles, each have been laid on the Queen Anne
and Rent and on the Kent County railroads.
Most of the peninsular railroads are furnished'
with ' their car equipment , by the P.
W. and B. Company, and • in Several,.
cases it has been deemed 'judicious
by this Company to. afford encouragement 10
theirs by temporary drawbaeks on the business
they do in connection with roads operated
by it.
The report aThides to, the interruption, of
travel fbr 70 hours by the flood near Philadel
phi4 last October, but states. that the tolerably
direct route opened via the Chester Creek and
West Chester and Philadelphia Railroad'
avoided any greatpublic inconvenience. - •
For the purpose of purchasing some desirable
securities of connecting companies and of pay

issued and sold,at rates considerably above par,
8,091 new shares of stock preferrint , this

•
A revaluation of the Company's „assets has
been made, the most important alteration
being in the valuation of the New Castle and.
Frenchtown Railroad Company stock owned
by this Company, which has been reduced
from $7 , 0,425 to $150,000. All but six miles
of the track was tort► up years tp i , and the
Steamboats owned by the UOtripany. were 4101( 1 1
so the valuation was much too high. In con
cluding their repot the Directors express the
opinion that the Company's property is in a
sound cOndition and its prospects encouraging.

"EARLY DAYS" . IN NEVADA.
Sliver Land Nabobs.
BY ;'MARK TWAIN
)From the Buffalo Ex presej
One of the curious features of Pacific Coast
life is the ,startling uncertainty that marks a
man's career in the mines: lie may spring
from poverty to wealth so suddenly as to turn
his hair white, and then after a while_ he may
become poor again so suddenly as to make all
that white hair fall oil and leave his head as
clean as a billiard-ball: The great Nevada sil
ver excitement of ':it?-'SJ was prolific in this
,solLotykissittales.. -
TWO brothers, teamsters, did scime hauling
for a ntan in Virginia city, and- had to take.a
small segregated portion of a silver mine in
lieu of $3OO cash. They gave an outsider a
third to open the mine, and they went on
teaming. lint not long. Teti monthsafter
ward the, mine was out .of debt and paying
each owner $.5,000 to $lO,OOO a month—say
$lOO,OOO a year. They had that handsome in
cotne for just abfait o years—and they.
.dressed in the loudest hind of costumes and
wore mighty diamonds, and played poker for
amusement, these Men who had seldom had
$2O at one time hi all their lives before. One
of them is tending bar fur wages, now, and the
other is serving his country as Commander-in-
Chief of a street ear in San Francisco at $75 a
month. lie was cry glad to get, that employ
ment, too.
One of the earliest nabobs that Nevada was
delivered of wore tiko,oooi, worth diamonds in
his bosom, and swore lie was unhappy because
he couldn't spend his ilioney, as fast as lie
made it. But let its hewn than him that per
sistent etiOrt, is hound• to itch eve success at
last. Within a year's tine! his happiness was
seuire ; for he hadn't, a cent, to Spell(i.
Another r.Nevila nabob boasted 'an income
that often reached $lO,llOO a month ; and he
used to love to tell how he had worked ht the
very mine that yielded it, for 45 a day, when
he first came t o the country. - Three - years
afterward he attained to the far more exceed
ing grandeur of working in it again, at four
dollars a day. 2 •
The silver and sage-brush State has knowl
edge of another of these pets of forttme—lifted
from actual poverty to affluence almost in a
single night—who was able to 'offer $lOO,OOO
for a position of high oilieial distinction, shortly
afterw,ard, and did offer it—and a little, over a
year ago a friend saw him shoveling snow on
thePacifie Railroad for a living, away up on
the-summit of the Sierras, some 7,0110 feet
above the level of comfort, and the sea. The
friend remarked that iL must be pretty hard
work; though, as the snow was twenty-five feet
deep, it promised to be a steady job, at least,:
Yes, he said, he didn't mind it now, though .a
month or so. ago when it wars• sixty-two feet
deep and still a snowing, — he wasn't so'much..
attached to it. Such is life.
Then there was John Smith. That wasn't
his name, but we will call him that. lie was
a good, honest, kind-hearted fellow, born and
reared in the lower ranks Of life, and, imirtten
lously ignorant. lie drove a team, and the
team belonged to another Man. By and by
he married an excellent woman, who owned

The reader, has 'heard of the great Gould &
Curry sayer' mine of Nevada. I believe its
shareS are still quoted in the :stocksales in the
New York--papers.. . The claim,. comprised
1,200 feet, if I remember • rightly, Or may be it
• was 800—and I think it all belonged originally
to two men whose liapaes it bears. 'Mr. Curry.
owned. twe-thirds of it—and he said that he
sold it Out for twenty=Bve hundred, dollars,:in
cash, and air old , plug horse that- ate up his
market value in hay and barley in'sev6nteen
days by the watch. And he said that Gould
sold Out for a pair of second-hand government
blankets and - a bottle of whisky that killed nine
men in three hours, , and an rtholrending
stranger that smelt the cork was disabled for
life. Four years afterward the Mine thus dis
posed of was worth in the San Francisco mar
ket seven million six hundred thousand dollars
in gold coin.

The well-informed correspondent .of the
hilCl3 at Berlin seems for once to haVe misled
in the statement that the French Government
had simultaneously communicated to the
principal continental, courts a general project
of disarniament. It is sl4ll asserted that Gen,
Fleury made some overture of the kind at St.
Petersburg ; audit' the report is true it is only
surprising that the It usi.dan Go verimientshould
have slighted so harmless an opportunity of
announcing
.pacific intentions, ,A. few

cable to diminish by general agreeMent
the large ' standing armies which even
at that time constituted a heavy burden

of Europe. Within two years both France
and Austria have; by:adopting with certain
modifications the military organization of
Prussia, converted the whole population into
a system of regular armies and reserves; A

the field ; nor would any power have the
means of exercising,. a isopervision. over the
