A WONDERFUL YEAH. The year last past has been in many respects a remarkable year. In the political world, many Btartling events have occurred. The whole East ern world has been arraying itself for a tremen dous conflict. Battles of considerable importance have already occurred; and all ovonts seem to conspire to render inevitable one of the most Wide-spread nnd sanguinary struggles in which Europe and Asia were ever engaged. Meantimo oven the natural elements seem to be at war. Storms at sea, produoing tho most disastrous nnd fatal shipwrecks, are almost daily reported. One storm on the Blaok sea destroyed over eighty ' vessels. The recent storms on the Atlantio have probably dostroyod a still greater number of ves- eels, and far more Bvob. Every few days we road accounts of tornados «Bn land, destroying muoh property, and some lives; and occurring too in Tegions seldom visi ted by Buoh disasters. .Even the Western rivers have presented an nnusbl appearance this winter. They have been frozen over, some of them more sofid than ever beforo; and then suddenly broken open amid floods and atoms, that have eweptmuch proper ty and many-lives to destruction* Unnennlly destructive 1 fires have occurred in American cities and harbors, destroying splendid and costly buildings, together with the largest vessel in the world.

REPEAL OP THE BSOEY LAW. There is" before the legislature of New York n bill to repeal partially tho. usury law of •that State. Many of . tho newspapers there without distinction of party, arc advocating its passage. We hope oar Pennsylvania legislature will pass such a bill this winter. We do not be lieve any good roason can be named for the ex istence of such a law upon our statnte books. It does no good. It is daily evaded ; and tho only effect of the law, in this respeot, is to raiso the priso for loans, by. diminishing tho amount offered for loan. Tbo timid and conscientious wilt not run-tho risk of deteotlon, or violato law.and they employ their money otherwise. Bepeal the law oltogethor, and there will be more money in the market for loan, and the rates consequently reduced by free competi tion. : There is nnother reason wby Pennsylvania should repeal this law if New York does so. Pennsylvania capital will bo drawn to Now Yprk for loan, if tho useless restriction is there removed while it Is. continued in our own State. That is already the case to some extent. Money is as muoh an article of oommcrce as corn, and its use ought to bo as free; and tho laws of demand and supply will regulate its price. England has got rid of theßO useless and in jurious reßtriotlons upon tho use of money. We wish Pennsylvania might be the first Stato on this side of tho Atlantic to got rid of this mani fest evil. • ■■ ■ Stalls is the Maukkt House.— A large num ber of Stalls were Bold, in the Diamond Market on Saturday afternoon, and many persons are anxious to know the amount they sold for.

The net revenue of tho road for tho jear, after paying expenses and interest, has been about nine per cent, on the amount of the stock. ■ , t Tho receipts for the first half of tho year were about forty thousand dollars per month, and of tho last half more than seventy thousand dollars; which great increase justifies the belief that tho earnings of 1864 will be much larger than those, of last year. - The patronage of the public thHS liberally be stowed upon the road, calls for corresponding ex ertions on tho part of the company, to ment its continuance and increase. A double track has •been begun, and twelve miles of It are now near ly completed, extending from Pittsburgh to Be wickley. Tho second track should bo extended to New Brighton, twenty-eight miles from Pitts burgh, os soon as it can conveniently be done. The road bod is already graded for it.. Surveys ; have been made for widening the road bed bo i. tween Alliance and Massillon, which wilt not be 1 an oxpensive work; and the double track from I Alliance westward ought to, be begun at an early | day. ■ , ■■■.., ■! In tho beginning of tho year there were twon- 1 ty Locomotive Engines upon tho road. The number now is thirty-ono, and ton more have been contracted for, several of which are ready for delivery. Unexpected delays in tho receipt 1 of machinery hnvebeon productive of much in convenience and disappointment. It is tbo intention of tho Board, with the ap- I probation of tho Stockholders, to moke such ad ditions to tho equipment of the road as may bo necessary to do all the transportation that may offer, without detention or delay, and also to. provide snch portions of dooblo track, and snoh machinery and conveniences as may bone- : cessary to maintain for tho road the highest reputation for safety, promptness, and punc- ta&Uty. - • • • :, , Three hundred "and fifty-eight thousand eaven hundred and thirty-eight passengers have been carried upon the line, in the past year, without an accident to the trnina by which a Bingle life baa been lost. . ; The preparations for a greatly increased busi ness trill of course require an additional outlay of capital; but with conclusive proofs of tho profitable character of the investment, the Boar* hope to bo able to obtain the required amount without injurious financial sacrifices. If neoesaary, the Board proposes to assist the Bellefontaine and Indiana Bailroad Company, in extending its Boad from- Gallon to CrestUno, a distance of about four miles. - The Board has given muoh consideration to the question of the extension of the line soroas the Allegheny river atPitisburgh. Thesnbjeot was referred to a special committee, and surveys were directed, to bB made.by the Chief Engineer. The viewsef that offioer are presented in his re port, herewith submitted, and they will be found worthy of the attention of the Stockholders. The city of Pittsburgh has already granted the right of way from the Allegheny river to Liber ty street, either by St. Clair street, Hand street, or the Aquednot. The adoption_ of either'of theso routes will require some legislation; and the work ought to be begun as soon as this can bo obtained, and other preliminary obstacles can be removed. Tbe consent of the Stockholders of the Pennsylvania Kaiiroad Companyjnnst also be granted, before any other crossing than that opposite their outer, depot can be adopted. It is supposed that they will prefer a crossing at the Aqneduct, on account of its affording an oppor tuaity for a direct connection with their station on Liberty street. - In accordance with authority given by the Stockholders at their last annual meeting, the Board has subscribed One Hundred Thousand Dollars to the stook of the Springfield, Mount Vernon and Pittsburgh Bailroad Company, and a like amoant to the Ohio and Indiana Bailroad Company. Of the first named subscription Sixty-two Thousand Boilars have been paid up to tbiß time, and .of the last named Fifty Thousand Dollars. Portions of both the roads are already in use, and forty miies of the Ohio and Indiana road hove been opened, within a few days, extending from Crestline to tho Mod Biver road near Patterson. The Board ore so well satisfied that tho most profitable application that tho Company can make of its means and credit, is in perfecting and equipping its own road; that it is only.iuvory. peculiar cases that a departure from such a course can be justified. ........ They think, however, that a subscription of one hundred thousand dollars ought to be made to tbe stook of the Fort Wayne and Chicago Bailroad Company, which will, when its work iB completed, furnish a very direot line, of a uni form gUBgo. 403 miles long, from Pittsburgh to Chioago. This will be one of the most import ant extensions that the Ohio and Pennsylvania Bailroad can possibly have, and the Board be lieves that it will pay well. The expediency of constructing a branch rail road up the valley of the Big Beaver, from Brighton to New Castle, a dietonoo of twenty, two mites, has been frequently urged upon the Board by citizens of Beaver and Lawrence coun ties* Such s line would oonueot with the propo sed Pittsburgh and Erie and Cleveland and Ma honing Bailroads, and would bring tho north* western counties of Pennsylvania into oloso con nection with Pittsburgh. It is proposed that the stockholders should paBB a resolution, onthori zing the Board of Directors to take such order in the matter, os they may think, after dne de liberation, will be beet calculated to promote tho permanent interests of the Company. It is expeoted that tho inalinod planes on tho Portage B. B. will bo avoided in about ten daye by the opening of the Tunnel through the Alle gheny mountains by the Penna. B. E. Co., which will greatly benefit onr route, and shorten tho time between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. The general result of the working of onr road daring the past year has been very satisfactory to tbe Board, and is highly creditable to tho Chief Engineer and Sup’t., 8. W. Boberts, Esq., whose services to the Company from the com mencement of the undertaking have been of the most valuable character. The persons employed upon the line have gen erally performed thoir duties in a praiseworthy manner, nnd the Board endeavor to employ none but trustworthy and reliable men, upon whose faithfulness nnd care much depends. The immediate superintendence of tho running of the trains is in charge of Mr. D. M. Courtney, as Master of Transportation, who is untiring in his exertiOnß in that important department.

ColumbuB,:ond Ohio andlndiana RailroadSi-Thia point 1b oh the summit level of the high table land between take Erie and Cie Ohio river; and a considerable VillagO has • already been ereoted theire. ’ ' •. r . v The Bellefontainc and Indiana Railroad Com pany have not yet extended their rood to this oommon polnt: of intersection, four, miles ; from tho present terminus; but: as they.are losing a great deal; by not having done. bo, and as tho . work Will Oast but little, there is good roason to believe that it will speedily be done.. Every_rea sonable aid' should be given them to .facilitate and expedite it. The distance from Pittsburgh to Crestline is 187 miles, and tho track la laid with roileweigh ing sixty pounds per yard, having wrought iron ohairß at the joints. In 1852 seventy-five miles of the track were graveled ; in 1863 cigh!y-two miles more ; and the work is in progress on tho remaining thirty miles. The unevoidable neces sity of running at high speeds; on an unfinished road,'has induced me .to.press forward.the work of ballasting tho -traok, even when the engines could ill he spared far the purpose: That im portant work is now in a fair way to be soon fin- isbcd. . ■ . . .. , Much as bis been done, however, in the post y ear, the business of the road, has - increased much more rapidly thauourmeans or nceommor dating it; and, although the earnings or the Voad hare been more than ddnblo. those:orthe year before, they would hare been'greatly aug mented, if it bad .been .'possible for us to carry aU tho freight offered .for trnhaportation. .. The delay of local freight is especially to bo regret ted, and the most energetic measures ought tp bo taken to prevent it in future. • . In tho beginning of the year the probable earnings were estimated by me at six hundred thousand dollars, which was deemed an extrava gant estimate. It has, however, been exceeded bysixty-eight thousivtidd oil sirs, Botwitßstatiuing difficulties of the moßt harraasing description nrisiog from deficient equipment. Tho aggregate earnings, of 1853 were $008,004 49,. of which $241,192 67 were earned in the first six months, and $428,811 92 in the last six'months:. The average monthly earnings of the first half of the year were about forty thousand dollars; and of the last half, more than seventy thousand dollars per month. In October tho earninga wero $84,- 033 03. This Was done with an equipmentade quate to earn, in regular working, about sixty thousand dollars per month. : --; .. It ia hot always when a Compahy-is the .most; prosperous that its officers are the most com-- fortable. There: is h limit to the power of ma chinery as well as to human endurance. It a when the work is heaviest, that breahs and fau nres most frequently occur, and then they are most vexations. In 4he :early part of the year the trains were run, and- the numerous connec tions made, with very great regularity; and in the latter part wo hnyo striven to do the best we A good and substantial telegraph line has been erected along.tho road by two enterprising and highly respectable gentlemen,, to the expense of which.the Company contributed. It isnot, how ever, used by the Railroad Company, nor are the operators appointed or controlled by it, The telegraph has been found very useful, although not so muoh so as it waß hoped.that it would he,, or as it may hereafterbecome.' In the beginning some of tho operators at tho way stations were deficient in experience, aodih a due sense of re sponsibility- It was not found to bo safe to rnn trains by telegraphio information, end theprao tico was immediately discontinued. An accident which occurred in the early part of Ootober, when the road was overloaded with work, aroso from on incorrect message, communicated by the Conductor to tho Shperintendent, respecting tho detention of an nppropohing train. Fot the mis cellaneous business of the Company, ,tho tele graph ie in daily use, and ib constantly becom ing moro valuable. Three hundred and fifty-eight thousand, seven hundred and thirty-eight passengers have been Carried on the road in tho year 1858,' without an accident to the trains by Which a single life has been lost. It is with a grateful Somse of Provi dential goodness that the factis recorded. . This is equal to an avewgo of eleven hundred and forty-six passengers per working day, ns no train is run on tho road, on Sunday. It that no other road in Ohio has carried ilo large a nnmberof passongors in tho past year. The anxiety of railroad officers is very much increased by the determined disposition shown by many passengers to disregard the ruleß estab lisbcd for their own protection. They will not take their seats before the ears start, and they will leave them before they stop. They will stand on the platforms, pass through tho trains when in motion, and get into the baggage ears.' ] The most positive warnings and prohibitions are posted up in vain, and the most positive orders given to the train hands are disregarded by pas sengers who ought to know better. The fact that a gentleman is a stockholder, or an editor, or a prominent politician, or nn officer of some other company, or even.that he is. a frequent traveler on tbe road, justifies him, in his opin ion, in doing wrong himself, and setting a bad example to others. In the West this evil is muoh more difficult to overcome than in the East/ If it were possible to get juries to decide that a porson could not recover damages for personal injuries, which be would have escaped if ho had been ■ complying with the rules of the road at the time, it would have a most salutary effeot in Inducing passengers to do as they ought for their own safety. . Some progress in fencing the line has been made daring tbe past yoar, and very neces sary work ought to bo pushed steadily forwaril. In some oases where land owners have been paid for land, damages and fenoing, thoy negleot or refuse to fence their lands;, or, if obliged to put up tbe fences, strive to encroach as much os possible upon the company. Legal prooeedings will probably bavij to be resorted to, to remedy ■. this evil. . ; ■■ ' The business of the road has increased with remarkablo rapidity, as will be seen by the fol lowing comparative statement: - ........$608,004 49 301,039 30 -- * v V, 1 * ■ >V : V '■ , -.‘f ■ a, .•* Passengers Passen’reanil Enright Total carried.

The weight of the paying freight, carried in the freight trains, was 74,740 tons. The weight ofthe gravel, timber, stone, and other materials, transported for the .Compa ny, was much greater. The total receipts for: passengers,, freight, and the mails, were $668,- 004 49, and the total expenses charged to the paying transportation were $801,639 86, being, about forty-five per oent. of the receipts,-and ma-' king the not receipts for the year, $866,865 13. In comparing these results jvith the cost of the road, it should be remembered, that the first train ran to Crestline on the 11th of April, and the first Express train on the 16th of May. . The great increase of business upon the line, and partioulariy upon the eastern part of it, has rendered the commencement of a second track necessary.: From Pittsburgh to Sewiehley, 12 miles, the second tract is nearly all laid. It is used at present for the transportation of mate rials for the protection of the road from the Ohio river, at the most exposed points along the nar- The road bed is graded for a double track to Kew Brighton, twenty-eight miles from Pitts burgh, and the second track should be extended to that place during the coming season. The widening of the road bed for another track from. AUiaboe to Massillon, will cost about two thou-: sand dollars per mile; and at least twelve miles of the distance, extending from Alliance to Dou isville, should be completed speedily, so bb to provide a passing place for the trains near the middle of the road. For this purpose, and some additional side tracks, about three thousand tons of railroad iron will be required, and the cost of the work will depend very much upon the price paid for iron. . .. :In the past year, the number of loeomohve engines Upon the road has been incrcaeed from twenty to thirty-one. • The income of tho road has increased much faster than the ■ number of en gines upou It.' Ten ’ new engines have been con tracted for,-several of which should have .been delivered some time: ago, and tho whole number. of engines ought to bo at . least fifty before the close of 1854.. The Company own: 285 pttssen* . gcr and freight cars, and 113 gravel pars, ma king ah aggregate of 428 care. An inventory of thepresent equipment'idocompanics this, report?, s It is true economy to provide an ample equips ment bolfr Of Jaogiiiea- ahd\Cßiu..'\.Th'e polloy of refusing frelfeht offered' for tranSportion, us we hnve beeil composed tO : d0..- in many Oases, ; no< thing but sheer necessity can ipshfy; and aeon tinuance of euch a'poljoy lsout of the qaesUon.' Unless a railroad company provides ‘he means to do all the business offered, to it, at fair and remunerative rates, it exasperates its customers and builds op rival lines.. The necessity of giv ing a preference to perishable property has caused a great delay in the transportation of otherarticlcs- Tho Company ba3 bcen careinl to notify shippers that it would not receive more than its machinery Could transport. • • -lojmitd .up a large,-, reliable,,and. profitable local freight business upon.tjse line, is a most important matter; and itlmay easily be aeeom . plished. The railroad of the-Darlington Cannel lo.al Company is now nearly completed. If the Ohio and Pennsylvania railroad Can aWaya ho relied upon for punctuality and despatch, the numerous lines wbioh cross it wiU he converted into feeders. And when wo remember that the great extensions Of the lino to Fort Wayne, Chi cago, St. Louis, and other places, aro-now in progress, hut not yet completed, it is easy to see that it is the duty and the highest interest of the Company to prepare its road for the great future whioh is so rapidly opening before it. In my opinion the earnings of 1854 may be safely estimated at nine hundred thousand 00l- lore. • By direction of tie Board, surveys have been tnadb for tie extension of the road 'across the Allegheny river, into the city of Pittsburgh, and its connections With .tito Pennsylvania Rail road. Five lines have been rim, the upper one being - for a newbridge at Allegheny Btreet, ;Op posite tho onterdepot of the Pennsylvania Rail fond. This line disappointed: expectation, re quiring very expensive wort, and objectionably high grades, to reach the level of .the streets, in the eastern part of Allegheny city. It would, niso, not accommodato the Pittsburgh city buBU ness, and would conneotwiththoPennßylvania Railroad about a milo eaat of.lho passenger sta tion, and consequently put that Company to great inconvenience. Itwould also add a new bridge, and therefore nn additional obstruction to the free navigation of the Allegheny river. Another line was ran across the river, below the St. Clair street bridge, ahdopposite the Out-: let of the Canal. This line did hot suit the Btreet grades on the Pittsburgh side, besides obstruct ing the river and interfering' with the harbor.; The harbor Of the two cities is none too large for the accommodation of their'present and prospec tive: tradeand, in my opiuion.nohridge ought t 0 be permitted to bo built acfoss either the Al legheny or Monongabela rivers, below the present bridges: unless in compliance with tho princi ples laid down by the highest judicial tribunal* in the country, for the protection of the free;, navigation of the Ohio river; end such a bridge could not supply the hind of connection that is: needed. . \' v-;.;;: The other three lines were run Over the pres ent bridges, to wit: the St. Clair street bridge, ; the Hand street bridge, and tho Aquednct. They ; ere all practicable. By purchasing either of the present road-bridges; and re-bpilding the superstructure;ns was . done* in.the case of the Market street bridge ot Philadelphia, it might be made to serve both for railroad purposes and common travel. Such a plan would, however, involve the laying of a- track along the streets, conforming to their undulating grades, whioh iro' at present very objectionable. Property, also, upon those streetß, where they intersect the Pennsylvania Railroad, is highly improved and very valuable. ■ *-■*..-■■ . . :" The route by the Aquednct ie, in my opinion, much the best ' By following the course of the Canal, the Btreet grades are avoided, and a line of good grades and curvatures can ho obtained without any very heavy work. A good connec tion with the Pennsylvania Railroad can be made iat its passenger station; and the future compe tition of tho Steubenville, Chartiers Valley, and llompfietd railroads for the Cincinnati travel-can bo successfully met. It will also afford good connections with the Allegheny. Valley, and.Con uellsvillo railroads. It. is not proposed to inter fere with the free use of .the Aqueduct, or to in jure it in any way; but, on the contrary to odd to its stability by lengthening its piers, by addi tions of substantial stono masonry; without nny interference whatever with tbo Buperstructare of the Aqueduct, The location of a railroad in a city is usually attended withgmt difficulties, - and whatever plan is proposed, earnest opposition may be ex pected ; bat after giving to the subject a careful investigation, I have came; to*'. the.conclusion: to reoommond, in strong terms, {He plan / that is the route by the aqueduct; which is not only best in my opinion for-both tho railroad compa nies, but also best forihe; pormarien t' interest of both the cities interested. It will do compara tively little real injnyy to private property, and the whole work, excluding sums paid for root estate, ought not to cost more than two hundred thousand dollars.* The Company ought nover to rest until it is accomplished. Then the cars of both the railroad.oompaniea can crosa the Alle gheny river, and transhipments may take place | on either side of it. When tho cars are brought i side by. side on parallel tracks, the cost of trans ferring freight is a small matter, in most cases, j as has been cpnddsively proved upon our line * by actual experience on a large scale. : When the Pennsylvania Railroad is oonnected with the various lines of its own gunge, which are going on to spend large sums of money raised; in Philadelphia, in great measure bn the strength of the argument, that cars owned by the Penn sylvania Railroad Company, and costing $5OO apiece, are to be ran throughout the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan, and to bo broken, or to be brought back nobody can tell when; it appears to me that theory and practice will be found to differ materially;:as is often tbe case^: Our lino being of the Ohio giioge, with that guage continued to Cincinnati,- Chicago and other distant points; will have ono convenient and cheap transhipment at’Pittsburgh," and ino damage to the cars of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company need bo feared when they bring freight to this Road, nor will the valuable rolling stock, of that Company bo removed out of tho reach of the protection of tho laws of Pennsylvania. Bat the present system of draying over toll bridges must bo done away with,' and competi tion will compel it. . As a civil engineer, of more than: twenty-five years experience, under whose superintendence the Ohio and, Pennsylvania Railroad, has been, located, constructed, and worked, I wish to place bn record my. confident conviction, that any long .delay in the construction of the railroad connec tion across tho Allegheny river, J7ill result in an annual lobs of .income to the Cumpany,:'of.a sum more than sufficient to. build a new.bridge across the river every year. This ia a.view of the subjeot whioh should commend itself to the serious consideration of every person and every corporation interested in tho stock of the Company. . ' In concluding this report ! wish to express my satisfaction-with the manner in which tbe officers and agents employed upon .the line have gener ally performed their duties; and my acknowl edgments are especially due to Mr. D. N. Court ney, the Master of transportation, for the satis factory manner in which ha has superintended the running of the trains under difficult circum stances. . Tabular statements are submitted with this re port, exhibiting the equipment of the line, and the results of the operations of the road in a great variety of details. Respectfully submitted, 8. W.
