KEIVtiI.IIIIMIORITY, The rote* o; the aectlin;tiotwithetanding tie adatance of the telegraph, do not yet en able us to state the exact majority: of "the Democratic candidate for Governor. He will have an immense pluraiity—probablY forty thousand—and a handsome majority overboth his competitors, probably fifteen theusand. ,The vote, is light, but there, is little doubt that, had there been a heavier poll, his ma jority would have been quite as large as it is. Of the thousands 'of citizens who did not :vote, it is to be taken for granted that ; the want proportion were disposed to' the' Demo ',crabs party ;" but they were heart-sore • with their own difficulties. The election day passed over them almost unknown; and although they looked at the returns, on the morning of the 14th, with something of satisfaction, yet the rapture of the strife ,hsrl departed, at,least temporarily; and they soon came back to their own wants and to'their . own: ' -Governor I'ionsa :goes into ,the althorns tosial office under most peculiar circumstances— .lle is a man Of large beneioletlee, 'add. fine, ,manly impulses. His 'Speech in the Senate; against the distraining of tenants was a beauti.: fel exhibition of philanthropy; and we cannot, `doubt that lie will be among the foreineat to recommend such measures as willasitat to roll 'from -the public heart the weight that now oppresses it. In times like these, when a' tuanelal pestilence has,dwept 'over the 'land hlte; a ,devastating angel', he' lithe• true pa-' blot • who can forget himself for the anon' good. When the late epidemic mowed !down •the citizens of Norfolk, 4 1 4.4 the heroes who remaitzed to comfort. fie :dying and to relieve the sick, mere reraem fbered with gratitude in every quarter of the; 'country, and in the direful days of the, Yellow: levar • PhllOelphls, the;penwho i met that tempest of death and ontlivedtti were looked 'tap to by their fellow-citizens as so many ,great' benefactors., ,Sotoo,, we repent, in this day of, 'ilimn4alinffering, the statesman who • can re commend a cure for the ills under which the, littioring, , or who will give -his; jiohest efforts to banish these ills' from , the ho- WOM of society, will win a more, enduring'faine: Olin that which flows from the spy:denim of par-: Zone. THE KANSAS ELEMENT ',%\lthough the absorbing intereat'growing out . of thO'difileulties in money * matters has con- Isidore* lessened the usual excitement atten dant upon $n important State election like the laat,lt is apparent that there quite enough. solicitude entertained to give to,a &PAM ele- Ment nontrolling influence, not only in, this State, but in lowa, Ohio,, and also Mine aota. This element was 'the' belief that the policy of peace 'and equality, which had been adopted by Mr.,Bionattau, and vigorously car tied forwardby GoVernor Wamon in Kansas, would dispose of the troubles in that Territory, and so' remove foreVer ' from the 'Political arena the vexatious issue which has cost so much anxiety and so much alarm to the people oethe United States—the 'twitted purpose otlir. Brammiss on this sub ject, early avowed in distinct terms, and per- Vevered in without , turning to the right or to the lefts Notwithstanding his purpose was violently assailed: by the extremists, it was 'hailed at the beginning with the best feeiinga, aind was confided in t,c, the end, by the great middle majority of ourcountrymen. • They asked at his hands nothing more than fear:dealing in Means, and be gave it to them. The enemies of slavery in the free States did not require that he should become a proselyte of their peouliar notions, nor, indeed, did many 'of those who entertained opposite "views.; all that was expected was that the elections in Kansas should be conducted on legal and regular grounds, and this reasonable expectation has not been disappointed, by the President. In vain the violent men In the, South attempted to show • that he ~ had fallen into the hands of the violent men in the North. ,Their complaining' Critic* _Was answered 'by the Tact that a charge was made by the opposite extreme that he had fallen into the handier the slaveholders. We tat/tithe result before us in this State, and the following article, from Mr. GRUELEY'I3 New York TAtiktie of yesterday,-rather gives up the contest in the two States of. Ohio and lowa, and in the embryo State' of Minnetita. The Tribune, though indulging a '•Uomplain ,lng spirit, &Nee the victory to the Democrats, pnd 40',4110.1,?,4,0 to P. 04 6 .0.4 t.i.,16,46119 time the cause which chiefly contributed to this victory : "Elections for State officers were hold on Tues day last in Pennsylvania, Ohio, lowa, and, Minne sota, all of which, wo apprehend, resulted In favor of the Slave Democraoy. In Pennsylvania, the division of the opposition was so obstinate as to paralyze effort, and the <Democracy' had it all their own way. In Ohio there was a respectable contest, but the public attention was too much ab sorbed by pecuniary anxiety, and tho Republicans polled far lees than their full vote, and are clearly beaten. lowa, we judge, has gone the same way, for similar reasons. Minnesota is not yet heard from, but the results in the nearer States inspire little hope of a'Republioan victory. The heedless and over-soilltng have been made to believe that the triumphs of Freedom in dramas is sure—that lduchanan'and Walker sire dealing fairly by it— and that no further effort outside of the Territor r y is required. We shall see whether this belief is in accordance with events whioh ,the future hiss in store." THE LATEST FOREIGN NEWS By the Vanderbilt, which left Liverpool on the 3d inst., and arrived at New York yester day, we have received four days later news from Europe. We have copied, from the files of Liverpool and London newspapers received at our office, some interesting articles of in telligence, not given in the summary of news which has been telegraphed, and would parti cularly refer to the able leader in the London Times of October 241, on the actual condition of affairs in India. It goes further in admit ting the critical position of the British than the English press has yet had,the candor to allow. Of European intelligence, the only feature of interest is the termination of the Imperial conference at Stuttgart. It is asserted that the Czar is not disposed to reduce his army. Nearly the whole of the British Cabinet had assembled in London, and were having daily meetings. There had been a very strong ex pression of public opinion on the fact, that at a crisis, when personal attendance in London might be of the most vital importance, the Queen continued in Scotland, at forty miles dis tance from any telegraph, and that nearly all the Ministry were also absent, for over six weeks, enjoying field-sports and rural life, instead of minding the affairs of State. This discontent had brought the Cabinet to London, but the Queen appeared determined to remain at Balmbral the whole time originally fixed for her resi. deuce there. Her stay, therefore, would be continued for eleven days longer, not much to the satisfaction of the grumblers. On the London money.market, the news of the suspension of the American banks is likely to fall as a heavy blow. The city article in the London Times of the 8d instant, admits that, for three or four weeks preceding, the intensity of the panic at New York had induced an almost total suspension of specie remittances from that city, so that from £500,000 to 4800,000 that would otherwise have reacted England' had been temporarily withdrawn. It calculates, we perceive, on the panic being over by this time, and says : " With the return of confidence, therefore, not only will the usual shipments be resumed, but many arrears will have to bo met, and as the fort. nightly consignments from California continue to reach New York the ability to meet these calls may be expeets re,Pidly 'to revive. It may be hoped, therefore, that dwing the nest two or throe months our receipts from this Varter (New York) will again at least suffice, with Ate quantities from Australia, to keep the stook in Eke' honk of Eng land from further reduction. "At this moment we have the £173,000 brought by the last Australian mail nearly duo at South asepton, but there are no other very heavy amounts to be anticipated. Whether the eastern demand will continue on the comparatively moderato scale assumed during the past fortnight depends on a variety of contingencies. Meanwhile, Austria has yet to make her Ana arrenrcements for resuming Cash payments on the let pf plantlarY, and at Con stanttnople there is anxious speculation as to the possibility of attracting new funds to hoop the machinery of state from actually breaking down. "From both these directions our own market may possibly be influenced. On the other band, the Bank of Franoe,,if it should resort to any ex tensive issue of £2 notes, may oreate - some partial inflation. The balance of probabilities is, there fore, wary even, and the conclusion •is that we •re.. main for some time without anything to enliven or to aggravate oar present dull condition." . The Arabia, rhicl;t left New York on Wed-. nesday, would carry Over the news that the Panic had matured .into a Orisis, This intel ligence will probably reack, Liverpool on the , 24th inst., and may induce the Times tO come to a very different conclusion from that which, as we sea above, it bads arrived , at. We can I scarcely :lea what the actual effect of ourl monetary affairs Ltp9p thotie' of England will be until the first week Pi Aravember. - Meanwhile thit. - weakly: ittstemest of. the Bank - of Engltuid, published on October g 4 -1,1 shows that the amount of notes in circulation is £19,142,120, being an increase of £240,905; mid the stock of bullion in both departments is Z 11,276,08, 'phewing an increase of £B7,j 628 when compared the preceding return. There wore over £6,000,000 e' hank notes un employed. The hinds keep steady, A WORD TO ODR , The city banks have thirty days to accept the provisions of the relief act. By that act they are compelled to receive at, par the notes of! those banks In whOsesolyeney they have eon- i Waco. It is rumored that this whole period: of thirty days will , be suffered to elapse before the law Is formally accepted by our banks. We trust most sincerely that this will not prove to be the fact. Whatever doubts may,be enter-; tabled, in reference,. to the thlid section by many of our hest citizens, 'it 41: the. law, and cannot, and should not, be , evaded. Any delay in accepting the pro-I visions of the relief act would bear with ex treme hardship upon our mercantile s com munity, for whose ~benefit, ; great part„, that, relief was granted ,by the Legislature,: and especially upon those merchtuits du the. interior who are indebted to Philadelphia, and , who, holding the currency of the in-I desire to pay their obligations to' their creditors hare. Thirty mays' in these! times are an age ; everybour is important; and' the very principle upon which Governor Lem called the old Legislature together, if it meant anything at all, meant that the sudden action of that body should afford instant ease balminess .eircles. We trust, therefore, that the banks will spangly:determine what course they will take in the iureoo,l and we have; no doubt, if they act , liberally to 110 . r cus-: tomers and to the community, they will be applauded for so doing." ; POLITICAL JUDGES The retaAtpf the late election in Pennsyl-: vania will °penile healthfully on other ques tions than that of politica ; There can be no ; doubt that .the tendency 'of things in some quarters of the country, has been to cover the' elective judiciary with distrust and contempt. The practice of judges, openly participating in politics has been the wain cause of this, tendency. The climax was rear.4o4, liewever,, by the nomination of Judge Wilier, as tile Republican candidate for GoVernor, of this State, at a time when he was presiding over the judicial district composed of the counties of 8ra41074, Thiga, and Susquehanna. It is true that lie resigned this post, apparently to take the ehatio t o of tlie4Antsign, but itlis also; true that he resigned it wl tlthC distinct tacit! ,understanding that in the event of his 4efust he.ehonld go back to the bench. MA defeat having ;taken place, Mr. WIMIOT returns to the, scene of ibis Judicial duties; how much better qualified to dischamthem alter the exciting. . . , and irritating campaign grough which ho has passed, and with the consciouscooasthat ho has lost caste at his own home, we leave Atliers to say. The people of Pennsylvania, however, have boldly, marked their sense of the habit of encouraging judges to become politicians, and ae trust the rebuke will not be without its effect in other quarters. fig - The bill passed by the State Legisia-• tnre last winter, SuthoriAng l the extension of the Beaton MBank, chaster apd an increase of $200,000 to their capital, whieb the Governor did not aign, became a law on ,Frlday last without his signature, he having failed to re turn it within three days after the assembling of the Legislature in the recent special 8CM;1011. , .ruauc oto,suourrs. , Signornia Ramos, the Spanish singer, who made snoh a hit at the Acadomy.of MusiO, on Wednes day evening ; as "La Figlfa'del Beggimento," on poets the performance thfs mting.

THE STATE. , Tho majority in the State fOr General. Packer over Wilmot, will probably exceed forty thousand. The Legislature will bo two-thirds Democratic. We see by our exchanges that the election passed off quietly, everywhere. The returns In an official shape reach us very slowly. Amnia COUNEY.—Thosllarrleburg Keystone thus speaks of the glorious result : „ - " The miserable minority in which Mr. Wilmot is loft, is a signal rebuke of the black Republican agitators; whilst the olcotion of General Pnekor, by an overwhelming vote, is a proof and vindica tion of the fidelity, of Pennsylvanians to the Consti tution and its guarantees, full of hope and conso lation to the patriotic and Union-loving Democracy throughout the - nation. - • " In Harrisburg General Packer has over four hundred majority, and, from partial returns from the townships, it is supposed ho has a majority in this county, which has hitherto given largo Oppo sition majorities. The greatest portion of the Demo'cratic ticket is also elected in this county— one member of the House' certain, nearly all the county officers, and a majority of some seven hun dred and fifty for Senator, which it is hoped will overbalance the Opposition majority of Lebanon."

IMPERIAL CONFERENCE AT STIITTGART.—The correspondent of the London Times says, "In the matter of popularity both with the Court and the people, the Emperor Napoleon has made infinitely greater progress than the Emperor Alexander. The Emperor Napoleon has lost no opportunity of :showing himself inn light aoCeptable halite people; hit has walked out in the streetsarm-in-arm with a single, gentleman, a IVurtemborg officer; he has taken or feigned an interest in all that the King is most feud of promoting, and for which he is so deservedly popular, and gave himself the trouble to sit out the whole of Weber's Der Freizehittz last night, which was played at his especial desire to hear a genuine German opera, and continued applauding even after the curtain had fallen. " Daring their stay hero of four days each, the Emperors IMO been in each other's company at least twice a slay, but in the presence of others ; what, however, is more to the point is, that they have bcon closeted together three times perfectly alone, for periods varying from ono hour and a half to two hours each. The last of these interviews took place. on their return from the Vold urest at Cannstadt yester day, when they retired to the apartments occupied by the Emperor Alexander at the top of the Crown Prince's villa, and remained together for nearly two hours, at the expiration of which they took leave of each other with the greatest apparent satisfaotion, at their having made each other's ac quaintance. • "The general resume of the information I have boon able to collect with reference to the nature of this meeting and its political results amounts tq this : the two Emperors have hail the satisfaction of snaking each other's ac quaintance, and of exchanging the expres men of their individual views, wishes, and aspirations, hut that nothing beyond this has boon obtained, except it bo some matters of so very trifling moment as not to be worth citing in con nection with this event. What little I have learned shows me that, however much satisfaction the Emperor Napoleon may have experienced at the overtures made to him, and however gratified he may ho by the homage thuspaid to the position ho has acquired for France in Europe, and at the ad ditional prestige these events will give him in the eyes of his own people, he has not betrayed any inclination to jeopardize or tamper with the Eng jish alliance, which ho looks on as fundamentally essential within certain limits to the well-being of France and his own stability." Those members of the family of Orleans now in England, but who do not habitually live there, are about leaving, with the exception, as I am inform ed, of the Puchet,s of Orleans, who proposes re maining fqr the whiter, and who is expecte4 to re side in the neighborhood of Richmond. ENGLISH VIEW OF INDIAN AFFAIRS [From the Times of Ott. ;.] The arrival 'of Indian letters and newspapers puts us in possession of opinions as well as facts. One naturally wishes to know what is thought and felt at ono end of the wire, or other line of commu nication, while war rages, or conspiracy threat ens at the other. But, the bare facts ones an nounced, there is not much to satisfy impatience in the speculations, the rumors, or the gossip, eyrie at the very seat of el-Imminent. Many alourisrhas found that at Geneva or Borne he was to all prac tical purposes no nearer the Alps than in White hall or Cheapside ; and it would seem as if people wore no nearer Delhi and Lucknow at Bombay and Calcutta, than wo aro at home. Their conjectures aro little less wild. They seem almost equally con demned to be idle bystanders, when every feeling would prompt the quickest and most vigorous in terference. Anglo-Indian opiniou, however, has evidently entered a new stage, thongh omshet with out preoedent. Some of the filter, More Oulatle, and Inerb teirtertrig geoStions that occupied it . at first, have now answered themselves. Of seventy regi ments not ono is now loft to foster the fond illusion of its fidelity, till the happy moment for the bullet or the " tulwar" to do its appointed work. Not a mess remains to be butchered sitting, or a colonel to be rudely interrupted while writing to the Govemor-General a letter full of happy assu rances. Few stations remain to be burnt, and few treasuries to be " looted." The death of malty herldred Akers. civil and rollitery, in ,battle, or minis generally by the hand of the assassin, and the massaoro of as many women and children, have gone far to exhaust the fund of private solicitudes. It is true that there aro stations dotted about of which little is known; but the mind wearies of repetition. Lucknow 'would be only Cawnpore on a somewhat larger 'Beale, and should the infection which has reached the Bombay and Madras armies infest the whole of thb dark 1,104, tied lead to equal atrocities, no numbers, no op . lor the :want of novelty. So opinion has now passed into the .hard, calculating, military stage. The residents at Calcutta can look forward to the approaching cam 'paign. The real war, according to Indian notions, has not yet begun. It must begin in September, and end in May, after which month it seems taken :for granted that not a shot will bo fired. Passing, 'then, over the preliminary horrors, Indian politi cians are evidently satisfied with the prospects of •the war. They think that we shall have a suc cession of triumphs, and that next spring will find ',us holding India with a stronger grasp than we over ;did lsofore. Strangbly enbagh, this conviction be trays itself at the very tinto that the gravel of the 'English mail brings - what seems them an immense underrating of the mutiny. We believe that on this :point they aro mistaken. The statements and esti mates made, in or out of Parliament, to the best of ;our recollection, simply reflected from time totime Ake latest news from India. It was nobody's busi ;noss here to anticipate worse than was known, and •roinforeemeete were despetehed, If not quite as ex peditiously na if the worst had been known, as ex -Ipeditiously as anything is ever done in this country. • military eatimate, then, taken at Calcutta :looks 'rather to the reserve than to the forces :engaged, and rather to the surrounding country {then to the actual seat of war. Even the prospect of reverses in the present battlefield. and the inter ruption of communications, sloes not some to concern t them as numb as might be suppose'. At Calcutta ,they aro safe. The arrival of the Chinese force, the sight of the Shannon in their river, the passage of several regiments up the river, and, above all, the • departure of Captain Peel, withl 900 British sailors and ton 68-pounders, mabo them (col es severe as we do at home. The arrival of Sir Colin Camp bell, a commander-in-chief, with real power, replacing Sir P. Grant, who, Rs an Indian officer, had responsibility without power, con tributed to this comfortable feeling. At all events, the tido of war seemed to se rolling up the Ganges, and every wave of it would drive further inwards the mutineers of Dinapioro, who have created so much Mare) ; of itainghur, on the very borderts of Bengal proper; of- Oudo, and the whole valley of the Ganges. Looking at: the other ex tremity of the disturbed line, the state of things at Delhi was so encouraging that we felt ourselves jus tified in calling it the other day the bright spot in our Indian prospects; but at Calcutta they wore even more sanguine, and fully expected, on the 23d of August, that the assault had already taken place, when it was supposed the mutineers would be dis persed and a large parts? the besieging force would be available for the relief of Lucknow, and the conquest of Oudos The tables had so far been turned. on, the mutineers that time was in our favor. Every week was adding several thousands to Mir throe, and the idea of a Sikh invasion of Ifindostan under the British flag Was so popular in the Punjab, that there appeared to be no limits to the accession of atrength from that quarter. In Delhi all wag confusion, dissension, deser tion, want of powder, percussion caps, money, mon, and food. The king was most uncomfortable in his quarters; our ertllloo% having found his majesty's range The Mahomodans and }Undoes were quarrelling for the use of the water tanks. All were greatly discouraged by the uniform de feat of the recent sorties. In this extremity the question was whither to go—whether to oonourt discretion by going down the Delhi side of the Semen, or to take the more valorous courts of crossing the river by the bridge of boats, and malting for Cede. In either case it would be strange if we did not follow them up, and inflict that chastisement which they now avoid under the shelter of wails and streets. As far as eon be inferred from the desoription of our camp before Delhi, alit the hodiee of Trregulars flocking to our aid - from the 4 Punitib, 'Cashmere, Kumaon, and Nepaul, wo are much better prepared for open warfare than the garrison of Delhi, with no otner " tower of strength" than their " King's name." The probability is that the more desperate and deeply committed of the mutineers, driven out of Delhi, would swarm in the direction of Cede. It is vain at this dietance, and this day, to speculate ion the fate of Lucknow, which, be it well or ill, is now a thing of the past. Even at 'Calcutta they had had no direct and certain news 'of the Ord:lord with its precious and helpless charge, for a Whole month:- Wools' sup posed that General Outram would attempt to re lieve the place by going up the Oogra or the Gooretee, sshjoh might , be, a necessary • change of route, but serves to show the time required for the task. 'limit, whatever the result, there will then •ho Amply two armies in the field. Agra, at least, we assume to bo safe, as it is no longer mentioned with anxiety, and is said not even to be invested. Certain points, such as Alla imbed, will then ho hold for military purposes; but 'otherwise it Will ho a simple, ordinary case of two armies in the field, depending for success on their spitit,: their numbers, reinforcements, sup plies, and the good-will of the population. Wo feel no question tiod, ip all those points, except, possibly, the nuns Mrs isetually brought into notion, too 'dive the best of it. r We have all the chief con ditions of success. It will bo found—indeed, it has already been found---thet, as wo have said from the first, this is not arebellioe, or oven an insurrection; it is only a mutiny. Notwithstanding certain taunts at our want of prescience or want of capacity to comprehend the fact, this is only a military revolt, inspired by those causes and motives that prevail most with the military charaetor—aggrandise ment, love of plunder and general license, pure restlessness—in a word, all those feelings that have rendered India is sea of troubles for these many eon terra' ' , The mischief is almost eonfined to the soldiers, useless it be an accession of credit and strength to their cause that the criminals they release from the , gaols, and the ruffians of every town held them to plunder and de stroy: • But, on the whole, with rare and accountable exceptions, the people are in our favor, and as the war proceeds will be so more Ism) more.

[For The Press ] What is to be the _fate o f the Reatfing ratlroad ? Is it to go into the hands of trustees for the benefit of the holders of mortgage bonds, or is it to be as signed for the benefit of all its creditors ? To Nome such condition it must shortly come, under the present inefficient and injurious management. The company is hurrying on to the catastrophe. There is but one moans of checking its downfall ; which is, to change its responsible officer, and re place him with another who has knowledge of the condition of the concern, experience to judge of its interests, tact to administer its affairs, and the con fidence of the public to cheer him onward. In proper bonds the Beetling Railroad Company will resuscitate its business, arrange its indebtedness, and thus not only protect its general creditors and its bondholders, but its stockholders, the coal miners of Schuylkill county, the coal merchants of the large cities, and the owners of coal lands. The interests of other coal regions are also involved in this matter; so largo a business as that ofSchuyl kill county cannot be mismanaged without in juring the coal trade in other parts of Pennsylva nia; so that this matter is of vital importance not only to the minors, transporters, and dealers in the product which finds its way to market by the Reading railroad, but to all other coal operators, and to the people who burn coal. Tho present president of the Reading Railroad Company, R. D. Cullen, assumed his post at a period when, unhappily for the company, its former president, John Tucker, had resigned. What the merits of Mr. Tucker had been in that position is shown by the testimony of the managers, as given in the annual report to the stockholders in the be ginning of the present year: t , The managers have to inform you that Mr. John Tucker having tendered his resignation of the presidency of the company, a meeting of the board was held on the 6th of November, and the vice president was elected to succeed him. The elec tion of a now manager in his place was deferred until this meeting.. Mr Tucker had been so long connected with the, company, was so perfectly acquainted with its interests and connections, and managed its concerns with so much seal and ability, that his retirement will be a matter of re gret to you, as it is to the managers. When it is remembered what the company was when he joined it, the difficulties through which ho guided it. and the prosperity in which ho leaves it, hie abilities as an administrative officer, and his devotion to your interests, will be duly appreciated, as well as the uniform kindness and consideration for others which euabled him, after a long course of power, to retire from his office with the good-will of all those with whom he had been associated. . , .. ~... . . " By order of the Board of Managers. "R. D. CULLR:f, President. " Office of tho Philadelphia and Reading R. It Company, Philadelphia, January 12, 18.17." Prosperous in its business, and with full hope of a continuance of good fortune, the Reading Rail road company, when Mr. Cullen took the veins o f power, was considered staupak end nolvent. There was mutual eogdonce between the transporters, shippirs, and dealers in coal, and the company Mr. Tucker fully understood the wants of the trade, and his arrangements were of a naturo to encour age the coal interest, while they were of profit to the corporation. The concerns of the Beading Railroad were thus in good position to be fostered, and still further improved by judicious manage ment. The directors, perhaps too confident that this state Of affairs would continue without the con trol of an able head, sent to have thought that very little care or judgment was necessary in the choice of a successor to Mr. Tucker. In this fatal spirit of self-reliance, they elected, as president of the company, a person who was not a citizen of the United States, who had no sympathy with our people or institutions, and who really had no in. Wrest in the company, being a mere agept or clerk of the McColmonts l uglirh sockholders. Mr. Culien entered upon his duties as if ho con sldortid it la mission to unsettle all the plane of his predooessor, and to prove his administrative ability by making radical alterations in the most important rulcs of business. His first blunder was to totally alienate from the company the feelings and confidence of the shippers at Port Richmond. To this succeeded equally strong discontents among the minors of Schuylkill molly. phis dis satisfaction has shown itself io che diminished bu siness of the 'road; an the increase in the tonnage of the slower but better managed Schuylkill Na vigation Company. floats have succeeded in di verting the coal from the cars, and instead of tho business of the railroad company showing, as it thould do, an increase, It, has fallen off immensely. Nor is this all : the financial concerns of the com pany have become most dangerously involved, in consequence of the vest sums for which it has be come responsible for the clonatruation of 'Mi. Cul len'spet'scheme,.the teltanon Valley Railroad. instead of attending to the transportation business of his own road, the Beading Railroad president has turned his attention to the construction of an other road. In this way three million of dollars of floating debt has been created, and this floating (Lebanon Valley) debt is what drove the company to the wall, and caused the protest of its oblige. lions. The directors have great cause to complain or Mr. Cullen's eonduet in this Lebonon'Palley affair. He promised them the assistance of the BicCal- Monts in order to moot the obligations assumed for that work, and thus free the other business of the Reading Railroad Company from difficulty. In this promise ho lies utterly failed, and the debt so recklessly contracted new bears down the concern. As a financier Mr. Cullen is without merit. An incident which has just occurred , shows his cede of financial tactics very plainly. The Reading Rail road Compaby hold a note for five thousand dollars, duo by another company, a few days ago, and since the bank suspension. That company had EOM time previously made a contract with tho Reading Company, that if it was wished, tho note phould bo renewed, to the same rate ae the Read ing Company was paying upon its own notes at the Limo of renewal. Previous to this time, under Mr. Cullen's mis• management, the Reading Railroad Company's Paper had been protested, and Mr. Cullen having ecome conscientious, insisted that it should be tenowed for six months at simple interest. The 'pompon) , whose note was held by the Readitig was rotitled to a renewal on the same terms; but the nsoientious Mr. Cullen would not renew at sim ple interest, but demanded three per cent. a month. his was the conduct of a Shylock, who was not pven content with his pound of flesh, but required the blood too. Ho was remonstrated with upon his disregard of the golden rule, " do as you would be Flows by." After argument and indignant reproof, his heart was softened one per sent., and he agreed .o take two per cent. a month. The debtor cons amp was not obliged to pay that amount. A coin- Plaint of the proceedings of this model president isms made M the directors of the Reading Railroad Company, and the latter compeller/ Mr. Cullen to fulfil the agreement which, iq the spirit of a Shaver, ho desired to break. This incident is a fair sample of the financial tactics of Mr. Cullen. He boo no capacity for the station he fills; he has no idea of the suavities which accelerate business; he has no pity for the distresses of the creditors of Hie company, or for the stookholdero whom pro porty he is depreciating by gross mismanagement, recklessness, and personal unfitness for the duties of the station which be holds. ; That these opinions are those of all who know 'anything about the wretched management of the Reading Railroad Company is susceptible of easy proof. There is an utter want of confidence in the Colton administration. Of this fact there is testi money in the following resolution passed at a maet log of the citizens of Pottsville, on the 3d of Ooto• bar, held at the court-house, Walter' Sedgwick. E'sq., in the chair, and John $1 Crosland, secre tary, and published in the Minvig Register, of ifim 10th : "Resolved, That, in the opinion of this meeting, there is groat necessity for a change in the press dewy of tho Reading Railroad Company, and the policy of the directors; and no believe the re- Wooden of John Tucker, Esq.. to that post, MI. trammelled by a vestige of the present manage ment, 'will be the best and most effectual way to do justice to our coal operators, merchants and business mon ; bring' the staple product of our country into fair and successful competition with other coal districts, and thereby furnish a basis of 'credit, confidence, and prosperity to this great artery of mineral wealth." The re-election of Mr. Tucker is most impera tively demanded The hand that raised the com pany front the brink of insolvency is the only one to again lift it from the position to which Mr. Cullen has east it down. That Mr. Tucker had guided the company " through difficulties" and " left it prosperous," was attested by the tee nagers, Charles S. Bokor, Samuel Norris, George W. Richards, John Aahhurst, David S. Brown, Joccph Swift, and Mr. Cullen himself. That Ithe Cullen management has not "done justice to our' coal operators,' merchants, and business men," is declared by the citizens of Pottsville, in town meeting assembled. Furthermore, they say that the only remedy for the , ruin which menaces the company, is the re-election of Ilfr, Tudor, and the restoration of that confidence in the manage ment of the concern which is now almost' totally withdrawn. This matter concerns the bond-. helders;the oroditois, and the stockholders of the company. Will they exert their' authority to rescue the Rending Railroad Company from the incompetent hands which bane Sailed to guide it? or will they permit it to go into bankruptcy to their own ruin? These aro questions of the utmost importance. The causes are known ; the remedy is in their hands; will they adopt it? The Apple Crop.—ln awaye of the counties adjacent to our city, the apple crop, with the ex ception of the cider apple, is pronounced a failure generally. But wherever the eider apple is thund' in the orchards the trees are laden with fruit. In the middle, and lower sections of the county this is partioularly the ease. 'This is a matter worthy of attention of farmers, and many are already strongly itnprocsed with the idea that the eider ap ple is, the inset, profitable and, best suited to this region of country , it hitving proved the most sure °rep for several yours past. • , Salo of ologaat hoasehohl.furaiture, North Sixth streot t tiie morning. the Thomas 4.
