State do. Balance of Reserved Fund . ... $.372,080 63 The year just closed has been one of great prospe rity to those engaged In mining and transporting anthracite coal. It has hot been an object with the Managers to obtain an excessive share of the profits. They ijpve’ thought that a liberal policy would stimulate production, and thus Insure abundant supplies in the future. This branch of the business, however, has bten less regular than in preceding years. The necessary consequence of these fluctuations has been a great irregularity in the rate of produc tion. It will be observed that the charges for trans porting passengers and merchandise have been about the same as in the previous year. This traffle has been increased more than fifty per cent, during the last year'and has more than doubled within two years, showing great activity in the branches ol business other than coal. The profits from these two sources are now in excess of the amount required for the payment of interest, and for the animal appropriations to the established sinking mads, and will leave, for the stockholders, the profit on the transportation of coal, the chief source of revenue. The, large expenditures to ac commodate the increasing business were not avail able until the latter months of the year. In the spring and summer the supply of ooal ears, particularly, was altogether Inadequate to the de mand, and even in the later months was barely equal to It. The Managers believe, however, that theoapaelty for transportation',, although- at times nbt equal to the wants of the prodnaers of coal', has, on the ave rage, met the requirements of consumers; thiejs shown by the fact that the season closed with inac tive demand receding prices. With the addition of the locomotives now con structing, and the facilities of the new sidings, re cently completed,'the coal tonnage, with a regular business, can be largely Increased. It is believed to be the duty of the Company, as well to the producer as to the consumer, to furnish ample transportation facilities for the fall supply of an article so essentlally : necessary as ooal; nor can It be doubted that this polloyls, manifestly, for the interest of the Stockholders. If it were wise, originally, to construct the rail road, the propriety of the expenditures, for the re quired foiling stock and necessary appurtonanoes, cannot be doubted. The main workshops of the company, at Beading, are now entirely Inadequate for the enlarged equip ment. It Is, therefore, Intended to erect new and commodious buildings, on property recently ac quired. At the present timai. large number of lo comotives are necessarily without shelter and suffer greater Injury, by exposure, than any saving whloh could be effected by delay In meeting new engine houses. . It has become evident that the present facilities for shipping coal, at Fort Blohmond, are not equal to any material increase of business s It has there fore, been decided to Improve a portion of the ad joining river front, so wisely secured, many years ago, by the erection of-three large and commodious wharves, and to extend some of those now existing, ta the new wharf line, adopted by the Port War dens, which will greatly Increase their eapaolty. The stocks and bonds held by the Company have been increased $685,214.67. ' These investments have been made, chiefly, for the .purpose ot extending the lateral roads, and their branches. The benefit of these expenditures cannot be fully realized during the year in-which they have been made, A portion of this investment has been In the pur chase of the securities of various companies, the works of which arc leased to this Company. Such purchase is only made when it ban be done on ad vantageous terms, thus diminishing the annual rent, and. to that extent, equivalent to a reduction of liabilities. Throughout the entire year the bonds of the Company have commanded a premium; the pur chases for the Sinking Fund have been, therefore, only $104,000 00 The Sinking Funds, reqnlred by the terms of the various mortgages, amounted, last year, to $llB,- 600.00 In some cases It has been found Impossible, except at great sacrifices, to obtain the particular CISSB of bonds required by the mortgages; to meet these requirements, the temporary investment of $400,000.00, In Government securities, has been con tinued. The appropriations to the sinking funds created by the stockholders amounted last year to $273,420. The bonded debt has been reduced since the last report, by purchase, $104,000, and by conversion $2,259,000, thus leaving !t November 30th, $6,676,300. In the last report reference was made to the olalm to convert into stock the bonds Issued In 1844, with the right originally of conversion, and whioh were extended, at their maturity in 1860, to 1880. The highest judicial tribunal of toe Commonwealth sus tained the viev of the Managers, that the privilege - of conversion had expired. , The amount ol convertible bonds outstanding Is $624,600,000, which are due In 1886. The negotiation for the lease of the Mlnehlll and Schuylkill Haven Bailroad and the arrangement with the Schuylkill Navigation Company have been closed, on tbe terms stated in the last report. The wharf at New Castle was finished In Deeem her last,- and- is now ready for the shipment of coal. ' The entire line of the Junction Bailroad is now In dally use, with the exception of the tunnel under Market street, West Philadelphia, and this Is in progress of completion. Tie profits of the year having been appropriated as has beemstated, the managers, on the 80th of No vember, declared a dividend of fifteen per cent., payable in stcok on the 31st December. This course was adopted as, by delay, the holders of the con vertible bonds oouid have collected the coupons, due on the Ist Instant, then converted the b onds into stock and also have participated in the divi dend. By the means thus pursued no Injustice was done to the bondholder. - The Managers deem It proper to state their rea sons for not making a larger distribution of stock, to represent the value of the new property ac quired. It has oost» unusual prices, and it may well be questioned whether it should have a permanent representation in tbe capital stock, at the high rates paid for It. Other reasons have alsolnfluenced them. Many years ago, during the construction of tbe road, and subsequently, in extending the bonded debt, large sacrifices were neiessarlly made to ob tain the required funds,' and these losses were charged to the cost of the works or capital account. The property the last few years, in excess of the stcok divided, reimburses, to a con siderable extent, the losses thus Incurred. By order of the Board or Managers. CHARLES E. SMITH, President. At the annual-meeting of the stockholders of the Philadelphia and Beading Railroad Company, held January 9th, 1865, the following resolutions were adopted: ~ .

TRUNK TRAGEDY—APPEARANCE OF THE WO*AN IN COURT—INTENSE EXCITEMENT in norfolS—kofrkling -exhibited for the ABETTOR-OP DESERTION—SUE WEEPS BITTERLY DURING TRIAL—THE TRUNK, WHAT IT IS, AND Wh4re IT CAME PROM—SENTENCE OF THE ■WOMAN. The great trunk .tragedy, whloh has so excited public attention not only In Norfolk but In the entire United states, came to a final close, yester day, by the trial, conviction, and sentence of the accused pstty. Marla Louisa Linder, the alleged perpetrator, of the orime, Is a tall, thin woman, apparontlyabout forty yoars of age. She Is »■ Ger man by birth, and tho Teutonic lisp still clings to her language. Yesterday morning she was brought Into court,'bnd,' after the trial, which occupied an hour and' thjee quarters, she was sentenced. She waß dressM ln a plain black dress, and a correspond ing dark-oolored'bonnet. Her face evidently showed forth the"ditep mental agony that.was upheaving. her very soul. - She stood at the bar of the court, not exactly In. the prisoners’ box, but, for support, leaned against a staunch lion pillar as she gave In her testJmopy. ’ The court was filled with a number of dlstingushed personages, who had been allowed the espeml privilege of being In attendance. I noticed the, phonographic reporters'* or both, the Norfolk newspapers, and to the gentleman connect ed with thi Olf Dominion I am greatly Indebted for a transfer bob or the woman’s testimony. Major Webster, ! e’.presidiog judge, called the .court to order, and, he ease was at once opened. I give the testimony ’ ishtly as It was rendered by the woman, correcting ,11 grammatical errors whloh a person of her eduowl m and ’station In life must be supposed td have mi to’:; Marla.] raisa Linder sworn.—l am the person ’accused nl guilty or taking a trunk from Norfolk tc.

I asked him how US) would be able to get so much money. He said to jump th«*bounty and get a thousand dinars, and then we would both go to Canada and getmarrled. I told him that I would not know Sow to get him away from here, for the Government men watohed everything so closely. He said, “f|o and buy a large trunk, and I will got In It, and yonean do with me just as though I wbb your clothing. You cancheckme to Baltimore, and then get in the Cirsand go to Chicago.” I did not like to do It, but he made me; and so I got the trunk, and then he gdtln It, and we went on* hoard the Balti more boatn - ’ Q.. By Judge Webster. Bid lie not sayany thing about smotierlngl A. Yes, and he cut a small hole- In the trank. (Here the trphk was shown.. It Isa large and hsfad. some one, about twenty-five Inches high, sixteen Inches broad, and thirty-two Inches long.ltnmedlate ly beneath one of the straps is seen a very small ori fice, through whiohthe deceased gained his breath, by means f of*a pipe-stem, It wonld'be almost Impos sible to detect the orifice unless it was pointed out. The pole would not admit the passage of. sufficient air to sustain animation In a rat. There is” 1 plenty 0 f room within the trank to allow a limited use of the limbs, but they would ncoeesarlly.be contracted to suoh an extent as to produce; a violent cramp, after a person had been so subjected for-a period of five hours.]' He did not thififc there would be any difficulty In breath ing through the stem of the pipe whloh he-nsed. "When 1 go| to Fortrgss Monroe I went np to the trunk andjiidked It twloe. That was the sign by which I ™§&;know .how he was getting on. He answered; jtbjjfioe, sp that I knew It wii all right. He haA.wiiliguo'r ln'hls trunk—nothing but a caul fceon ofwater; a towol, and a piece of chewing to bacco. -When I got to Baltimore I ordered a.hack. ' man to take me to a hotel, I do not know whloh one It was, I was so anxious to get there. When I 'gotto the hotel I went up stairs, and kad the trank brought upwltfc me, and then when we got into the room,! looked the door. I was so glad when I got there that ! kicked the trunk with all my might, but! gCt-nosanswer. I raid, “ Now, Johnny, yen are allrights”,-He did not .answer me, and I thought he was foollng me; I got the keyand opened the trunk, and he told perfectly still, when I said, “ Come, Jack, get up; yon are In Baltimore now, and no one to about here but me.” He said nothing, when I put my hand upon his faee and he was dead. [The worn at was here so overcome "with her feel ings that It-waa some minutes before she could pro ceed.} I dropped the lid of the trank, and “ was crazy In my head.” I saw a card on the mantel pleoe of theroom, and I wrote the word “ Chicago.” on It, and rang Immediately for a servant. He got me a haekman and I told him I wanted to go right away to Chicago. He said he would take me to the Calvert-slreet station for two dollars. I told Mm, I would give him that, and handed him a,five dollar billj Wlien to) gave me back three dollars, He put the trank behind the carriage, and when we gotto the depot he.asked me If I wanted It' checked; I told him, yes. He said, “Co and get your ticket and I will gbt it checked for yon.” I was seared almost to death; I never felt so funny before In my life. I wahjed It found out and I hadn’t the heart to tell anyone. I-went to get my ticket, and In stead of dofeg so I walked np the street; Idonot know what made me, but I couldn’t help it. I saw a policeman-coming down near me and I wanted to - tell Mm, hut I did not know how. I walked the streets all nteht; no one said anything to me, and I did not say fa word to any one. The next morn ing I hears some; one - say something about a trunk, and jl thanked God that It had been fonhd oat.,i I .walked through the streets da*. ring all the morning, and finally, I felt so bad that I wenf and told on myself. This was.ali done Upon the moment. I- was perfectly crazy after I found out that the soldier was dead. Thlß Is the major part .of the evidence, which I give-nearly A It was taken down by the reporter. There is no doubt whatever that the woman is in a state of Intense misery. Her opinion, from the mo ment of hellr Ant examination, has been that she would be hung.'. But, as a matter of ooursST it was hot a ease of murder. On the part of the man it was voluntary death; on that of the woman it was aiding and abetting desertion. The fact of the man’s hitting died does not alter the punishment which is due the woman. Had she have gotten even to Chicago with her burden, and at that city the affair to have been discovered, she would have been returaedto this oity, andher punlßhment would not have Wsema-whlt different. After the woman gave herself up in Baltimore she had an examina tion and .was -immediately returned to Norfolk, where she was kept for three days, after whloh time she received her trial as above recorded. Jndge Webster, after having consulted with Gen. Shepley upon the sentence, returned to the - oourt room and sentenced her to a fine ef five hundred dollars and two years’ imprisonment at hard labor. The sentence is a just one, because the oase is aggravated, and demands a speedy justice. And here let me say that Major Webster, the judge of the Provost Court, is one of the most able men on any bench. The* number of oases disposed of by him in one day would actually astonish the courts In larger eitieg. Here they are just as complicated, demand thexame careful oversight, but the active determination of.the Major deals justice promptly and fearlessly.. tdeut. Gen. Grant is still in town, but will leave this morning for the front. I have recent and important items from North Carolina which I-will forward in my letter to- mor row. . Framem* 1.. Stbim. MEWS FROM SOUTHERN rAI'EEB—THE RICHMOND BKQUIEER OB THE SITUATION —NO DIFFICULTIES TO BE SEEM AHEAD —AFFAIRS. IK PETERSBURG— BUMOBBXJ REMOVAL OV BUTLBB TO' KENTUCKY. [Special Gorrespoadttce'of The Press. ] Norfolk, Ya., Jan, 8, 1865. I yesterday received Hies of the Klclimond and Ealeigh papers,from whloh I extract the most im portent items. The Enquirer has a lengthy diatribe on the situation of affairs, which shows to what straits they are led, and yet without anyWcknow ledgment of the same; « The enemy now begin to understand thflextent of their failure in the present campaign, and, If reason and common sense have any influence, they, cannot fall to see the futility of longer persis ting in the hopeless task of conquering thd people of theße States. The campaign agalnßt Richmond under) General Grant gave promise Of more complete success than any of those heretofore undertaken. Hestarted with.the full confidence of hlg Government,army, and people 5 with every re quirement of men and matenal that the unbounded prodigality ; of his country could supply. Hl* reputation was above that of any of ■ his pre decessors, and. his-experience gave hopes -Whioho no ,other general had evor excited. Entailer a cam paign unexampled in the world’s history, of nearly seventy, days ..of continuous fighting, what has he s ccomplished 1 It is useless to recapitulate the his tory of his failures it isienough to know that the Confederate-army in his immediate front juts been united in- one solid phalanx to resist his wily en croachments, He has not inspired apprehension enough lr» Blobmond to eauße the Army of Northern Virginia to remain undivided for Its defenoe. How long Is Grant to menace'Ußl MoDowelTin 1861, Mcoiellan in ’63.Hooker and Meade-in AS,) and Grant In’64 and’6s, have all advanced on'Blah inoid, and on every side-and. by every route* and have all been hurled baok in defeat andpursued into their own country. Not less than six- hundred thou sand men have 'been employed in these efforts to capture Bichmond, and yet at this day, perhaps, the prospect is gloomier than at any other time. When these eflbrts began the currenoy of the enemy, was atipar; to-day it takes two dollars-and twenty-flve cents to buy a gold dollar, and -the progress of r depreciation has but just begun. Of these six hundred thousand men, how many are -yetalivef ' Of those-alive, kpw many are maimed In limb and rulned in health t McDowell lost an army, not in hilled and wounded, but from dlsorga- nleatlon and demoralization. McClellan lost an army of nearly one hundred and sixty thousand, carrying back on his retreatsomethlng less than forty thousand men. Burnside destroyed between fifteen and twen ty thousand men before Frederioksbunr. Hooker lost stiu more at Chancellors vine, Meade, more'pro vident than his predecessors, never seriously at tempted the capture of Rlohmond; and Grant has I f e ? ?F d "*B“* thousand men since his tunpiwOiK has led him agaimt our oaoital. s“™ not been saorlfloe or lives sufficient to satisfy- the most Incredulous that the capture of Blchmoud Is an Impossibility for Yankee armies and Yankee generals 1 These facts cannot fall to have their proper weight and influenoe with the people of the United States. The War party or oontrao tors may refuse to recognize their potency, but the mined and-bankrupt people, the widow and the or phan, and the suffering millions, will take themlnto account, give them Influence, and make them felt in an hour when their rulers least apprehend It.” The Petersburg Register contains the following re marks on - THU SHELLING OF PETERSBURG. “ Matters out of town continue as noisy as eve;. While In .town we enjoy occasionally an hour of quiet. The enemy’s cast-iron lavors were, on Fri day, distributed with less liberal hand' than usual, and those'that did oome in most Instances failed to execute the malignant-intentlons of those who sent them. For two 4»ys no person has been hurt, and : not much damage done to property. Dr. Rogers’ residence, on Bolingbroke street, was visited by an unfriendly meteor,'but, saving the crashing of a portion of the‘roof, no other damage was found. The very few residents left In town have all be come ‘artful dodgers,' and In their progress through, the city seem to have the same appre hension of a Yankee shell that they Wmild have of a loose Elate on a windy day. They trust to look, and thus far the theory seems good, for hut two persons have been lnjured in the open streets. The damage done to thedwelllngs Is mostly confined to the upper 8t orles, and that even ooours only In certain seotlons of the city. Six months’ experience of Yankeeshell ing has convinced ub that It Is much more dreadful in expectation than in reality. The loss of life and limb has been trifling, and the injury done to pro perty money and time will quiokly repair. Two weeks’ occupation by the enemy would do more d v mage to the city than two years of snob shelling as we have experienced.' What advantage Grant hopes to gain from knocking holes through the dwellings of Petersburg no intelligent man can con ceive. Knocking two windows Into one and smash ing up furniture does not tend to soften.a Southern man’s dislike of Northern association; but, on the contrary, intensifies hla hatred, by adding jfersonalto political wrongs. There is no strategic point to bo gained .or even advanced bythe destruction of Petersburg. If Grant succeeded in destroying every house In the city, he would not he nearer the : attainment of its possession. It is the military posi tion covering so many railroads that Lee is defend ing, and in this view the dwellings or the re* sloentß aro only of secondary importance. Its ruin would be as stubbornly defended as is :the flourishing city of the present. If Grant can by-force or strategy drive the Confederates from their entrenchments m front of the city, Petersburg is his without throwing another shell into it. If he , cannotdo that, then he Is baffled and defeated, even If Petersburg Is levelled with the dust. It is evi dent no military necessity requires the shelling of , the city. It Is merely to gratify a fiendish feeling against everything Southern that Gran tie violating the laws of war as recognized by Christian nations. The destruction of non-oombatants has always been regarded with horror by every nation save those of ABla. Thounclvfiized red man of the force t spares the squaw and her helpless child; the civilized Yan kee Involves both incommon destruction. Theshame, the disgrace, the obloquy, will fall upon the North ern people, but It wilt not rest upon them alone. Grant, Meade, Butler, and all the other leaders who are currying favor with a bloodthirsty fanati cism, will meet with a merlted fate. The curses of a ruined people will ascend to Heavemand be re corded against them and their families to the latest generation. He who has said, 1 1 will visit the sins of the fathers upon theft* children,’ will avenge our wrongs, for ’vengeance Is mine, saith tho Lord.’ Even here on earth will the persecutors be remem bered, and History will pillory Grant and his co adjutors as it has alreadyheld up for the execration of posterity the bloodthirsty generals who outraged humanity, In the fifteenth century, during the thirty-years war in Germany.” LATEST FROM PETERSBURG. " A portion of what was formerly Fits Lee’s com mand engaged in a skirmish a part of Gregg’s cavalry division, near Lee’s Mills, fourteen znfles southeast of Petersburg, on Tuesday last, and drove them back, capturing thirty-three prisoners, inclu ding the commanding officer. There was considera ble cannonading on our right this evening. As my letter is longer than usual, I will desist for the present. RUMORED TRANSFER OF BUTLER.

Oh how I bless General Sherman, and pray that God will bless Mm too—l have.had-so much to annoy me; but now all seems bright once more. I feel this morn ing at least tenyears younger than I did tost week. I hope to be able soon to write goodlongletters, and feel that they will not have to be read by the Con federates ; and soon I hope there will be no more Confederate States. Oh how I have prayed to see this day, and I do: Indeed, feel grateful beyond ex pression, Yesterday about daylight the Federal army took possession of the city. I had three Fede ral officers to breakfast with me—Captain W., Lieutenant W. and Lieutenant F. Yon may be sure i felt very happy. Captain W. has just been In td* call and offer me a guard or any assistance I may desire. Mr. B. did not leave, neither did Mr. H., and many more remained In Savannah that -would surprise you to know. The dear old flag Is floating and waving all over the city. I made one last-week, and yesterday, as I saw a large party of officers passing, I held the flag ont of the window, and they all took off their ham to me. Give Mr. D. ont kind regards, and Bay how glad we are to be once more In the UnltOd States. Mary P. wrote, begging me to take everything .and go np to Ma con. How glad lam I did not go. I could not live another year in the Confederacy. The following affectionate lettter from a slater is dated Christmas night: I must write. If only a short letter, to tell yen how very, very happy I feel. I have RO many calls I find bnt little time for anything but to entertain company. To-day we had a glorious dinner. I sup pose yon wonder what we eonld have. I will tell yon. I bought two pair of turkeys a ftw days since, lor wMch I paid $B5 a pair. I had two of these roasted, a splendid ohleken pie, cold slaw, celery, sweet potatoes, turnips, champagne, apple pie, pumpkin pie, oranges, pecan nuts, &c.: so yon see. we did very well,considering. Bntlf lhad not had plenty of Confederate bills to pay for all I would have been rather hard np for a Christmas dinner. When I heard that General Sherman said he would eat Ms Christmas dinner.ln Savannah, I felt snre he would, and I commenced to buy np all I eonld. There were many here who did not believe he would come, and made no preparation. The country all around us is bare; between the two armies there Is nothing left, and we will be obliged to depend upon the North for a time. But I feel so glad to be once more In the Union. - Next door to me Is quartered a portion of the 20th Corps, New York Volunteers. Sarah takes great delight in making ooffee for them, and doing for them what we can. I have a picket walking up and down before my door all day and night to guard me, and they take the best care of me hand, only think, I have made the first flag. The 2d Division met with an accident; their brigade flag fell in the fire, and they had no flag when they came here. Each division has a flag— lst, red star 2d, white star, and Sd, blue. So I made the bonnle blue flag, with the single white star, and there is hot one of the men bnt knows it and seems perfectly delighted. S.sayr he believes I am the happiest woman in Savannah. It is glorious, my dear sister, to be free once more and feel that 1 will soon be with you all, to stay just as long as I please. Tbis morning I went to St. John’s Church. Mr. Mcßea preached. He did not -read the prayer for the President of the United States, hut will next Sunday. All the churches were open to-day, except Christ’s Church.' The Bishop left. I-hope it will he open on Sunday, for I- shall take great pleasure in seeing a Union man in the pulpit. The Bishop sent off his assistant before he left. What fool 3. some people have been; they will see their folly when too late, I fear. Hast evening I sent General Sherman a Christmas present. May God bless him, for he has brought more joy to my heart than has been there for many a long day. Rebel Cruelty. A STUDT OF THE CHARACTER OF STOBBWAI.iI JACKSON. Making allowance for the debasing and intoxi cating effect of slavery on the slaveholder, in an age when It has found bold apologists in Christians, lor the first time since the Christian era—allowing for the vengeful-and implacable hatred into whloh baffled pride swiftly, turns, even in angels—it yet re mains, as a simple psychological faot, inexplicable, how men, apparently under the influence .of our common religion and civilisation, oan have become such fienas a* the rebels have shown themselves by the treatment of onr soldiers when captured by them. The bloodhounds, the calculated starvation, the loathsome cruelty, systematically and tauntingly practised on our men, the abandonment of truth, as well-as of the last spark of honor, with the know ledge ol the fair and loyal treatment which their prisoners receive when in bur hands, are more re volting, and oan be less readily accounted for, than the cruelties of the Inquisition in the days of .fero oions, bigotry. The moralist oan only say,- so Itds; so quickly can man relapse. Let ns take to heart this unspeakably painful example. The most startling instance of this psychologic convulsion is given us in the life of Stonewall Jack son, a man of singular power of concentration of mind and faith, of perfect truthfulness to hjmaelr, and of great dlreotness of thought aud action, but also of that indomitable pride which mistakes its own suggestions for the commands of a hating God, and the Fervency of his own dark devotion for a fire kindled by the Most High. . * Professor B. L. Dabney-D. D., of Bichmond, Ya., has published the Life of Lieutenant General Thos, J.'Jackson (Stonewall Jackson). London; 1865. The reverend author, a great admirer, and an inti mate friend of Jackßon, a justifier of slavery, of se cession—lndeed everything that a rebellious citizen could wish for—lnforms ns that, when the Crisis ap peared; the subject of his biography was one of those who tried’.to.unite “the, Christian people,” North and South, In an effort to stop the war, and, having foiled in this, maintained that “it was the true policy Of the South to take no prisoner*,” as ” the tear was an offence against humanity so monstrous that it out lawed those who sharedits guilt beyond the pale of for bearance.” The, italicised wards are the author’s, bnt hot the italiolslng. It Is necessary to be mi nute in matters of such magnitude, and regarding words which are like keys In the hands of the. in quirer who has long wished to open a looked door. Those ominous words, then, present to ns: An Individual of fervent, and even grim devotion, undertaking to decide for himself whether a war (mark, it is the war he speaks of, and not anyaats done by the enemy) so outrages all humanity that It outlaws, those who -share In It, as if civilization had not established the law of war for the very pur , pose of preventing people foam noting on this idea, whloh, as a matter of course, has always been main- ' talned by many in every war. "Wehaveaman who, once conceiving the Idea, leaps over centuries of toilsome progress Into those ages when all the laws of war consisted pretty muoh In the two words, vae victie. And he makes this fearful bound Into barbarity, after having wrestled with himself for a long time in the trying doubt which ‘ side he should take. A leading man like Jack son considers himself freed foom all obligations of fairness and humanity toward a hated enemy. What eon be expected foom the many 1 And we, have a key to the present ornelty. For. laying down tbatevery prisoner ought to be killed, because he Is, an outlaw (and he is an outlaw because he fights for ' his established Government 1) on the one hand, and treating him with studied cruelty, If be be allowed, nevertheless, to live, on the other hand, are twin thoughts ; they are correlatives in the logic of sin ister passion. The ancients argued in a similar way. The victor, they said, may kill'his captive. If he dees'not, the prisoner belongs to the victor, who gave him hlßlife; therefore, he mayili-treathlm, ho may yet kill him, he may sell him.

The anudal report of the Beading Railroad Company, an presented to the stockholders at the annual meeting yesterday, is regarded as quite satisfactory. The traffic over the road has been increased more than fifty per cent, during the last year; and has more than doubled within two years, showing great activity in the branches of business other than coal. According to the report the profits from these two sources are now in ex cess i f the amount required for the payment of interest, and for the annual appropriations to the established Sinking funds, i&d will leave, for the stockholders, the profit on the transportation of coal, the chief source of revenue. . The North Pennsylvania Railroad Company also held their annual meetingjresterday, and Mr. F.-A/Oomiy was re-elected president. The total earnings of the company in twelve months ending November 30th were $750,034.31; total expendifcuTeB, $392,8Q3.77; net eatot tags, $357,250.64; being an increase of $81,672,58 in net earnings overthe previous year. The increase in the 'business of the road has rendered a large addition of rolling stock, ride tracks, e©fine-houses, Watersta lions, &e., necessary for the accommodation of trade. The amount charged to equipment was $93,530 61 There have been placed on the road three new. locomotives, eight first- class passenger cars, two express cars,twen ty one-horse cars, and thirty-five platform cars, a por tion of which are not yet f ettied for. The annual meeting of thelPhiladeiphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad Company, was held yesterday at Wilmington. The annual report we understood was not presented to the stockholders in consequence of its not being fully prepared.
