The Cincinnatians and the people of Coving
ton are reviving the projeot of abridge across
tho .Ohio river to conneot those cities. It is
estimated it will cost one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, and take between two and
three years to build it. Wo hope they will
build it high enough to be ont of the way of
Bteamboats.
It is reported that Colt, the inventor of
the revolving pistols, has realized over a

he should not have it. Ho is well paid for his
invention.

PDAISDEALER, JANUARY 10.
The Plamdealer, (Cleveland,) in speaking of the
Erie difficulties, has the following:
“ Four hundred United States troops are in
reodinoss at Pittsburgh, to maroh at a moment’s
waruiog to the scene of disturbance. What
next?”
Oar readers know that there is no troth what
ever in the abovo statement. Probably a dozen
"grey coats” cannot bo found in tho city at
this time; and at LawrenceviUc Arsenal only the
usual number.
What next ?
The Plaindealer Bays the Pittsburgh Pott is
“haulingia its boms” in regard to tbe Erie
difficulty. All who read oar paper know that
we-have pursued a uniform coarse in relation to
that matter. We hare all along advocated
.*• free trade ” in railroads; no unnecessary
breaks of gangs, and no resistance to law. At
the same time, wo have given the lio to tbe charge
that Pittsburgh abetted or enoonraged Erie to
any lawless act
What next?
For shame, Plaindealer ! change thy name.
We shall be relnotantly compelled to consider
the Forest City Democrat afar more reliable pa
per than the Plaindealer, when professing to deal
with fact. Tbe Democrat reasons. Its neighbor
assorts: and its assertions ore generally of the
same stamp as the 400 soldier story.
Wehope the Erio matter will be Battled accord
ing to law. And we hops all our neighbor* will
duly appreeiato tbs heartfelt kindness of onr re
marks:
Oenun Sewiptpen In the Vnittd States.
There are fifty-eight German newspapers pah
lished in the United States, and they distribute
between three and four hundred thousand sheets
weekly. These foots are ascertained from the
oenens of 1850, and other sources, of informa
tion. Some of these papers have a very exten
sive circulation:
The New York Stoats Zeltang, (Daily, Weekly
and Sunday,).... 25,000
New York Democrat, 85,000
N. Y. Scbnell Post, 15,000
N. Y. Schend Zeltang:.. 20,000
N. Y. Reform,.... 15,000
N. Y. Criminal Zeltang, .....10,000
Philadelphia Democrat,....; 26,000
,r Die Frie Presso, 12,000
Several others have large subscription lists,
and tbe above estimate of tbe total aggregate
circulation is doubtless not too high. Many of
them are conducted with marked ability, aad
most of them are of a political oharacter.
TAKE CARE.
The Evebiko Post. —Onr friends and iliastri
ons successors, Messrs. Phillips & Giltmore, pro
prietors of tbe Pittsbargh Morning Post, have
commenced the publication of an afternoon pa
per entitled The Evening Pott, which is famish
ed for 6 cents per week. It is an excellent pa
per, and we hope it will have at least ten thou
sand subscribers, and advertising patronage in
proportion. Long life to the Okl Poet and the
new Young Post!
That is what L. Harper, Esq., says in his Mt.
Vernon Banner. He knows what a good paper
ie, and how to mako one, os the Banner shows
Ho says, too, that Pittshnrgher3 are bo nßed
to soot that they will not adopt the “smoke con
sumer,” though he has no doubt it will work to
perfection.
They will adopt it.
The Buffalo Exfrebs. —We have at length
found something worth noticing in the Buffalo
Exprcit. We looked long in vain for snob an
event. Its editor is in a Tago at the Pittsbargh
Pott, because we rebuked as they deßerved the'
libellers of Pennsylvania.- We understand the
Erie quarrel as well ns yon do, Mr.Exprut
.end know the troth eo well that wo have no oc
casion to tell so many falsehoods about it os
some of our New York contemporaries.

The amount of gold dust arrived at New York
in thejnonth of Dccembey, as per manifest, was
$3,873,941 ; whole amount for 1853, $58,873,-
552, being $2,307,276mar0 than in 1862.
The New York Post says:
“The money market retains its established
character of activity and-lightness, and to an ex
tent which prevents many now issues of railroad
bonds appearing for salo, which are only waiting
a fit opportunity to be pnt on the market,
i “Kates for loon and discount are without
change, beifig 7. per-.cent, for call loanß, with
out great facility; and 10 to -12 per cent. for
the discount of primo grades of paper through
tho brokers.
. “The steamer of Wednesday will take nearly
$500,000 in spooie. Bars are being offered at $

“ Money was iu demand at San Francisco at

i Tho Star of the West brought from California
$1,300,000 in gold direct to New York.
Tho losses by fire, and by storms and Bhip
wreoks at sen, have been very heavy of late; and
the Now York Insnranco companies, being heavy
losers, have less money to loan than nsanl.
i Tho New York banks are again contracting
their loans, and increasing their specie.
; The Cincinnati Price Current, of January 11th,
■says: ■
i “ Tho demand for money continued active dar
ing the week, bnt there was an absence of ihe
severe pressure previously noticed, and with an
increased Bupply of enrronoy, matters presented
a more comfortable appearance; but still the of
ferings exceeded the ability of Banks and Bank
ers to discount, and the latter bad a fall assort
ment of primo paper from which to make selec
tions. Private Bankers' and street rateß ranged
from 1 to 2 per cent, per month, for good paper
14 ©ll aro the prevailing figures. The indications
with reference to the immediate future aro
favorable, as matters are now evidently improv
ing, and as soon as we get three woeks from the
lßt of January, wo may reasonably expect a
more cosy market, especially if navigation should
in the mean time be resamed.
LIEUTENANT GENERAL.
We ent the following from tho ML Vernon
■Banner:
1 Lieutenant General.— We regret to observe
that General Shields has introduced into the
Senate a resolution authorizing the President to
confer the'title of Lieutenant General, by brevet,
on officers of the army. It is well understood
that tho aim of tho resolution is to bestow upon
General Boott a monarchical title, totally at va
riance with tho genius of our institutions. That
bo distinguished a Democrat as Gen. Shields
should propose so great an absurdity, astonishes
us very much. It should havo owed its origin
to tho Whig side of the Senate.
; The Cincinnati J. aquiree makes some remarks
■upon tho subject, which wo fully endorse. That
excellent papersays: “We had hoped that this
Lieutenant General matty, which was defeated
at tho lest session, when it wosproposed to con
for that distinction on General Scott, had re
ceived its final quietus, and that the objectiona
ble'proposition would not again be renewed. If
we have Lieutenant Generals in the Army, we
must, of course, havo Admirals in the Navy, and
it would bo the entering wedge to a great many
moro monarchical and nristooratio distinctions
that are utterly incongruous with our republican
form of government There was never but one
man in tho United States who boro the title of
Lieutenant General, and tbnt was George Wash
ington, the father of his country; and there is
a peculiar propriety in his continuing to bo tho
only one who enjoyed that appellation. A Dem
ocratic Congrcsß can give no countenance to this
Lientenant General scheme.
The Albany Atlas, another radical Democratic
paper, well remarks, that neither tho Army nor
tho people oak this. Tho suggestion does not
come from his fellow officers. His own party
had not tho courage to bestow it. The Demo
cratic party have-not tho right Lost year
such a proposition passed'tho Senate and failed
in tho House. Wo hope to see it fail again.
Bestow money and regard upon General Bcott,
bat do -not let us.imitato Mexican weakness by
tbo invention and bestowal of merely aristocrat
titles.
On this subject tbe Pittsburgh Pott pertinently
remarks: Let ns havo Dukes, Lords, Admirals,
&c.» all at once, if Europeanisme are to be in
troduced, and sanctioned bylaw. Make it Lord
General, instead of Lieutenant-General, and we
will bo ■ better satisfied. The real [intent will
then bo apparent.
How would “ Serene Highness" do ? That is
Santa Anna’s choice.
- Wo could fill onr paper with extracts like tho
above. The democratic press generally opposes
it; and some Whig papers speak coldly in rela
tion to it All know that it ie wholly unneces
sary ; that it is on innovation upon our customs;
an imitation of Enropeanisms; and that the
office is one not recognized by tho Constitution
and the laws.
We hopo tho House of Representatives will
lay it over for a time, until public Bcntimentcan
be made known.
We like not the title; it sounds very much like
tho Lord General of Cromwell’s time. We like
not the principle; it is nnu-repnblican. Weiiko
not tbe motive professed; it is a “magnanimity”
that is uncalled for, that is dangerous, and that
aims directly to rebnko the clearly expressed
will of tho people at the lost Presidential elec
tion. If every unsuccessful military candidate
for the Presidency must he flattered with a Lieu
tonant Generalship, why not award some pom
poustitleto every unsuccessful civiliancandidate.
Did Clay serve his conntry less faithfully than
Scott ? Has Cass been less a patriot and faith
ful public servant—Calhoun, Buohanan, IVright,
Benton, and a host of other distinguished names,
equally deserving titles os Scott; what shall be
done with such of them as are now living?
. If the title ie a reward for services, what
conrt is to determine the amount of servico that
-shall win a title. If a title for life is to bo first
areated, the next step is to make it hereditary.
The Beaver Star has tho following:
. The bill authrizing the President to oonfer the
titlo of Lieutenant General upon offioers for em
inent service, has not yet passed tho House, not
withstanding it was rushed through the Benate
in so short a time. We havo, on a previous oc
casion, expressed onr opinion of this movement.
We reiterate that t€Ts is a had preoedent. A
republican government, like ours, demands no
such thing. If any of onr military heroeß have
not already received adequate compensation for
their deeds and warlike ecbievcmonts, why should
not Congress vote them a sufficient earn, and
have done with itt This, wo opine, wonld be
the most sensible way of honoring onr military
ohieflains.

Ploughing Match.— Meters. Editort .-—On
Thursday, tho Bth day of December, the Snow
don Township Ploughing Match oaoe off, being
the second ploughing match of said township.
The ploughing was done on the farm of Mr.
Tsaao King, Esq., ten ploughs being entered as
competitors. At 11 ■} o'clock, A. M., the plough
ing commenced, witnessed by a large crowd of
spectators. After the ploughmen had finished,
the judges, Joseph Miller, Esq., Peter Boyer
and Willim Wilson, Jr., went on the ground, ex
amined the work, nod reported as follows:
John F. Weller, Hall & Spear’s Central Draught
Iron Plough, No. 10, Ist premium, $5,00
Joseph Phillips, do. do. 2nd •• 4,00
James Higbee, do. do. Brd ■■ 3,00
The judges on management of teams, Andrew
Boyer, Wm. M'Kary and Jas. Wilson, reported
as follows:
John Murray, Ist premium........ $3,00
Samuel Murroy, 2nd premium, 2,00
After tho premiums had been awarded and
the Treasurer had commenced paying out the
premiums, objections were raised by the plough
men ogainet Mr. John F. Weller, on account of
consuming too much time in ploughing his por
tion. A motion was then made, in the absence
of Mr. Weller, to help him out, which was dono,
and the judges sent book to re-examine the
plonghing; after which, they reported os fol
lows:
Joseph Philips,..
James Hlghee,..
Harrison Hultz,
As there was no limited time, Mr. Weller
wished to know what a reasonable length of time
would be to do the ploughing in the manner in
which it was done, to which they would make
no reply. It wbs a resolution of the Society,
that each plougbtnan should uso his own team
and plough. Mr. Weller having a very indiffer
ent team, andthe ground being harder, steeper,
and containing six more farrows, was about half
an hoar longer in finishing. They also permit
ted one of the ploughmen to make nse of. a bor
rowed horse and plough, whioh was well known
to one of tbe judges, and then awarded him the
first premium on the management of toams. As
Mr. Weller has almost lost tho ass of his lefc
arm, he had to perform the greater part of tho
work with one hand. Now it is for tho pnblio
to decide whether Mr. J. F. Weller has got jas
tico or not. One or the Plobohiien.
A Windfall. —A few days since, a stranger
from Virginia, who was entrusted with a lotter
to Mr. Milt Cook, arrived here, but unfortu
nately lost the letter in the street. It was found
by a lad, whose father mailed it to Mr. Cook.
The letter contained information of bonefit to
Mr. Andrew Qiffin, and was delivered to him by
Mr. C. yesterday. It appears that some years
since, Benjamin Martin, Government Surveyor,
in return far sorvices, looated 80,000 acres of
land in Montgomery and Franklin counties, Vir
ginia, and.afterwards went to Havana with pro
duce, where he died with tho fever prevalent in
that section of conntry. He left six children,
one of whom isajadgein Franklin county, Ohio,
and another tho* wife of Andrew Giffin, of this
city. Several of the children had died, and the
wife of Mr. G. is the sole heir to about thirty
two thousand norcs, valued at an average of $2O
per aero, making the snug little sum of six hun
dred and forty thousand dollars 1 There is no
doubt as to the validity of the title. Mr. G.
pursued the profession of journeyman tiqner in
this oity for several years—was afterwards de
puty sheriff and city councilman, and finally
president of tho latter body. He is now a mil
lionaire. Glory he to Andy!—Cm. Columbian.
Drowned. —On last Saturday, as a company
of boys were skating on the Beaver river, at
Bridgewater, one of their number—Jesse Dickey,
son of Capt. J. 8. Dickey—ventured on ice too
thin, no snnk, to perish in the stream. After
two hours searching, he was found ; and on the
Sabbath, the frame that played obedient to the
impulse of juvenile mirth, was deposited in the
grnvo.
It is to be hoped that his little companions
will learn from this sad event the importance of
being careful that their amusements bo ever
bounded by safety.

Piedmont and George’s Creek regions, took place

been loaded at any of tho mines. The matter

Among the embarnsFmentjf heretofore retarding tho pro
gress of the Roadi'nnd impairing pablic confidence (to some
extent) In its usefulness and ability to afford valuable west
ern connections, was the difficulty which "prevented the
construction of. a railroad to connect with it, at thu Virginia
line, thonce crossing that part of Virginia popularly termed I
the “Pan-handle/’a distance of six miles to the Ohio river. I
I am happy to be able to inform you that this difficulty may
now be regarded as at an end. / - !
• Messrs. Edglngton and Wells, two enterprising and public :
spirited citixen* of Virginia, sustained by the whole people'
of that part of the State, having purchased the land from
the Pennsylvania State line to the Ohio river, in fee.simple,
judiciously located a railroad over it, connected withburs,
at its Western terminus, and bavoso vigorously prosecuted
tbolr work, as to have.lt, at this moment, nearly completed.
The whole of it is graded and bridged, the track laid, with
engines end cars running over nearly one-balf of It, and the
other half will bo completely finished anti In operation by
tho ecd of the present month. So that there may be said to
be, at this time, a railroad completed and In operation across
Virginia, from oar Western border to the Ohio river at
Stoubcnville! The factbeing that tho Virginian sore ahead
-of us, haring built their part of-the road, and now await
the completion of our*. The difflcul ty, eo far as any exists,
has thus been reversed: It Is now, to gettbo road comple
ted underour charter to the Virginia Had; tho Virginians
bare finished {heir part of tho road to tbo line cf Ptnnsjl
' Tania'. . .
Thus have tho difficulties and doubts about tho western
connections of aur Road melted away.
What Is tbo real position of our road, in. reference to the
number, extent and controlling power of its connections?
It Is so groat. In all these particular*, that wo scarcely know
where to begin the enumeration. Whether with the Penn
sylvania Road, leading directly-from Philadelphia to ns by
me same guage, or with tho Connclfaville, coming directly
from Baltimore to uabyn like gunge; or with thet Allegheny
Valley Road, (now rapidly in progress,) with Its numerous
connections of vast **xrcnt. For tbo sake of order, let ua
*ay,fim, that our Road, the-Pittsburgh and StoubeurDl*,'
i«, In fact, an actual continuance, (under Pittsburgh own*
ervliip and management) ef the Pennsylvania Railroad,
now finlahcd, from Pittsburgh in a direct line west, by the
same goage, to the Ohio river, there crowing the river by a
bridge to Steubenville/ At that point, it connect* with tho
Steubenville and Indiana Railroad, running to Columbus,
Ohio, and by Roads of tho same fiuage; through Ohio, In
dlana, and Illinois, directly to Bt. ixmfa. These Road*
taken toecther constitute, in fact, one groat Road cf the
samo uniform gaage, ia a nearly direct line from Philadel
phia to fit, Louis. Of this ltoad, token a* a whole, every
link la either completed or will be completed during the
present year, forming a rood, considering ita length, direct- ■
ness, uniformity of gUage. importance ofUw country which
it traverses, and tho Important cities and points touched
and controlled by it, and connected with Improbably with
out a parallel in this or any othor country, unless ftbe
paralleled, or even excelled, by tho union of our road with
some others of ita eastern connection* about to be men
tioned. • .--
Ail that ha* bean sold of our connection-with the finished
Pennsylvania road, may with the same propriety be of
tho CanncfavJU* road. Just commenced—tor It, (on, leads by
the wraa-guage with ours, by the shortest and best route,
with low grades and highly favorable curves.from the city
cf Baltimore, Unites with us here, and is continued bv our
Rood la tho one some unbroken line .westward with all the
connection* afforded by u* to the Pp.UQsyfvanta Road.
: "Ith the exception of gunge (which may, and no doubt
will be provided for.) the same may be said of tho ARagheDy
Valley ltoad, with its tor-rcachiog connections with West
ern and NorthernT2ennsjlvania,\rith Western,Central and
Eastern Sow York and New York city and. the whole of New
England. For this groat Kdnd, too, giving us llncsof con*
nootiern*, whoso impartacce cannot at present bo estimated,
meets us here, and like the Pennsylvania and tho Gunnels
vllle, hat no direct connection with the mighty West, but
by and over our Rond.
Uniting with us atManefield. some Cva milos from onr
Citv, U that cf the Cha-tiers Valley connecting us by way
of Washington with tho IlempfieW Road leading to Wheel*
log, and thus, also, putting u* by that mean* (through a
country rich in coal as in soil) In direct connection with the
ltoad* which are to unite at that point. There ha* also
been surveyed a branch leading to tlw town .of Florence
which, It Is believed, may increase tho usefulness of tho
Uoad.
At tho Ohio river, on ita Virginia side, a Road isalso pro
jectod, and will bo constructed to. lead from oura to Wells
burg, thence it will most probably be continued to Wheel*
lag, tho* giving us a double competition with that dty.
Crossing the Ohio river, at Steubenville,onr Road maybe
fairly «aM to meet the great West. There, as bnforo stated,
it unites with the Steubenville and Indiana Road leading
directly to St Louis. At Steubenville, also, it unites with
the Pittsburgh and Cleveland road leading to aorth-western-
Ohio, and.the Lake country. From the same point, also:it
is put in connection with the Marietta road, tho Central
Ohio road, and the Pittsburgh, MaysviUe and Cincinnati
road, now constructing aDd stretching diagonally by xeav of
Cambridge and McCounellsville, across part of tho State of
Ohio to Mayavilte, Kentucky, and affording tho most direct
connection, at that point with that bxtendad system of
. ro*ds. coming up from Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi
and the Cur south-west.
In a word, any one that will cait his eyes on a map de
lineating the railroad* of tho country, will see that two
great widespread railroad systems, one from tho East and
other from tho West, ere converging toward* a point as they
approach Pittsburgh, and that our road, tho Pittsburgh and
Steubenville, is the short forly-one mile link, tho common
and controlling trunk ot both system*, which unite and in
tercommunicates them together, at Pittsburgh.
Looking at ourjoad, therefore, in this one aspect alouo,
as the ample, means, the direct, central short cat, of uniting
the East and West, through their Railroad systems, and in
troducing them to each other at oar very door*, it is, in the
estimation ofyonr President, tbo moat commanding link of
road west of the mountains, and brings with U (whilst it is
pre-eminently important in a national pointof view) tho
largest possible control of other road* far tbo growth and
■ prosperity of Pittsburgh, and tho country around it. This
one short road of but 41 miles connects with and more
largely controls the two great systems of roads, (the Eastern
ami Western just referred to,) than any other road in tho
nation, No other can bo projected in which our community
, ha* so doop an interest—for it is imperatively necessary for
tlie completion and perfect working of the other roads In
which wo have so liberally embarked onr means and built
our hopes. . Nor can It toil to bo ono of the most productive
ot largo return* to the stockholder*. Short roads*- uniting
, hot only long one*, but whole systems of roads, os doesours!
•have uot only ever been, but must necessarily ever bo, the
- largest dividend yielding roads.
' Uut it I* not only from its commending connections, or
it* profitable dividend return*, that it fa important to our
city. Tho district of country through which ft passe*. from
this city to the Virginia line, is one of tbo richest in its
. agricultural and mineral capacities in Pennsylvania. Agri
culturally, U has been cultivated and made available, but
1 it* mineral resources remain untouched. Onrroadextends
( noariy its whole length through tho centre of a bolt of bitu
minous coal of the beat quality, averaging nt least fourteen
miles In width, probably the richest coal district in the
State. • • - ••
Tho coal, alono, considering it as an article of merchandise'
and as a soured of power and production in art and manufac
ture, and as promollvo of tho growth of a flourishing popu
lation, would enable tho road from the district through
which it passes, to yield abundant returns to the stockhold
er*, without the aid of a single one of its groat through con
nections, whilst it would be, by it* ftgoncy in multiplying
all tho elements of prosperity, asufit&jniugaml overtoorca£
ing source of wealth toour city.
In a local point of view, both tor the country It traverses
and for our community, it deserves the highest considera
tion and favor. In a former report of our Engineers, this
subjoct is dwelt upon at length. Itls ono perhaps, too gen
erally overlooked, and yet as a source of good and prosperi
ty to a community,' it fa tho most important advantage to
bo derived from such a road. . ■
• Your President has endeavored to Rot forth somo of tho
connections andadvantageaof this road. Regarding it as
ono of tho most important in tho country, U wives him plea
‘ sure to'say that it is emphatically a Pittsburgh wnrkl The
whole amount of stock subscribed is aboutsBso,ooo. Of this
. $250,000 was subscribed by the city of Pittsburgh, and $3OO -
000 by the county of Allegheny. The rest was by indivi
dual subscribers, aU residing in the city of Pittsburgh and
its neighborhood, or along the short lino of tho rood. With
out oxtraneoua aid, orencauragement, or even ordinary fair
play from any quarter, our community has alreadv laid the
basis of ensuring the certain and speedy success of the road*
.and the President having been concerned with it from the
commencement, returns to ite friends, his heartiest thanks
for such sustenance yielded to it, as havo rendered it* speedy
completion sure.
If the progress of tho road, during tho past year, hasuot
boon all that yonr President and its most sanguine friends
might have desired, be fools assured, looking bock upon re
tarding circumstance.*, it has been such as to eatisfythose
even.who bod oxpected most. At bur last annual meeting
it was, even in this community, doubted by many, os a
practicable Idea. It fa now, taking into consideration Its
present position and its present means, nearly a complete
road, whilst tho western connection across Virginia, awaits
our coming.
The main cause of any. check that the progress of tbo
work may have received daring the letter part of the past
season, will be found in tho delay experienced in procuring
the subscription from tho county of Allegheny. A law au
thorizing such subscription, with other neecssary legisla
tion, was procured at the last session of the legislature.
This law authorfaed the Commissioners to subscribe to the
extent of $500,000, upon the recommendation of the Grand
Jury?- Foiling to procure such a recommendation at the
Spring term of the Court, we: were postponed tilt that of
June. -After the procurement of the Jury’s recommenda
tion for $500,000 at that term, the necessary preliminary
for a subscription, the engraving of the bonds, Sc., delayed
their execution, till the money stringency prevailed which
prevented a negotiation at par, or upon terms atwbich
such securities (equal to any in the country) ought to he
negotiated.
With the exception, therefore, of $33,000 worth all these
I securities remain on..hand. The result has been that-lhe

To the. President and Directors of and Steub
enville R.R £b.—Gentlemen: At the date of ihelaiitan- ;
nual report made to vonr Board; it was confidently expected
that your whole road would be' opened-for business before
tbe elos® of the last, or early, in the beginning of the pres
ent vear ; and had the condition of the Company’s finances'
justified the most vigorous prosecution of the work through
out the whole yoar, it is still that this desirable
result might have boon attaint. - Several unexpected and
advene circumstances have, however, occurred to. prevent
its accomplishment, chief ambtig which I may mention,*
was tho delay attending the procurement of tbo authorized
subscription to tbo cspital stock of the G>mpany by the
county of Allegheny; the limited means at the disposalaf
theofilcers of .tho Company,caused by thb general depreda
tion of all Railroad securities, together with the delay and
reluctance with which the calls of the Directors tor inStall-
Tn*eta duo by private stockholders were in many Instances
mei : ' * •
it is, however, hopedibat this latter cause will no longer
exist, as a speedy return In the shape of dividends, can only
he Secured by prompt payment of instalments as they be
come due. The directors knowlhgas they do allthe engage
ments and wants of tho company, make these calls in good
faith for the best Interests of all concerned randwithout a
ready and prompt response in likogood faith by speedy pay
ments into the treasury of tho company, is made by oil the
stockholders—the officers of tho company ore forced to reset t
to temporary loans at high rates, in ohier to meet their eh*
gogement*,or allow the credit of tho company to bo Impair
ed by delaying payment to Its creditors, which deranges the
whole management of the work—enhances, ito-cost, and re
tards its vigorous prcsccußom; . : - ,
Tho means of tho company embracing os it docs a stock
-subscription of over sBoo,ooo—although insufficient alone
to build a road, which.has been estimated to when
complete, with tbo bridges at either, end, and a full equip
ment of rolling stock, sufficient to commence businesssV
500,000, If all paid up and jndidouaiyexpended in tho work,
ought to afford amplo security on which to obtain the bal
ance required on loan, at the ordinary rates of interest.
The whole work required to complete the road from river
to river, was id a former report made to vonr Board, esti
mated to cost $1.290,229—which it is still believed wOI be
sufficient for that purpose; of this *umabout $1,000,000
will be required on the ground covebed-by your chatter in
Pennsylvania, and thebalanee In Virginia. There has been
expended on the ftnnvjlnania portion of the line, unto the
Sdtast—es appears by the books of this department—the
gum of $322,528 50, including ratainod per centage and en
gineering. Theamonntpaid for land damages, rightof way,
and other expense* by the Boards, not being reported to
; this deportment, or any eocountof them kept in this office,
are not embraced In the above sum, which is for ’construc
tion and bridging alone.
. r The progress made during tho past year, and the advanced
state of the work on all the heavy, and on nearly all the
lighter sections of the line, is such, that with pmapt ac
tion fa providing tho necessary funds to enable us to push
the work M rapidly, as it can ho economically done—the
/■whole line from mcr to river can lie completed within the
next ten months; and it is so manifestly tbo intern of all
concerned, to secure Hi completion atlhe earllestnosidble
moment, that I can hardly doubt that it wilt be done In
that tune: let, without all concerned devote themselves
reso utely and enmestly, to promote that object by attend
tog promptly to lbs respective duties devolving on ihem,
with a determination, that whatever else may claim their
attention, the business appertaining to tho road shall not'
