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.

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,

her language. Yesterday morning she was brought
Into court,'bnd,' after the trial, which occupied an
hour and' thjee quarters, she was sentenced. She

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,

The wbfflhn here became greatly affected, and

of the nrtgfi and that If I would get him to Chicago
he wonldCglve me four hundred dollars. 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

’ 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.

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

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

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

more complete success than any of those heretofore

have all been hurled baok in defeat andpursued into

capture Bichmond, and yet at this day, perhaps, the
prospect is gloomier than at any other time. When

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.”

THEIR COY AT BEING RESTORED TO THE UNION,
The following extraots from private letters-re
ceived in New York from Inhabitants of Savannah
show the feelings of those who love the old Union
and. rejoice at being once more under its protection.
We doubt not there are thousands, hot only at. S&-
vannah, but throughout the whole of the subverted
districts, who would feel’joy as ardent at being re
stored to the arms of their legitimate protectors.
A mother wfites to her son on. Bee. 22 :
Thank God I am once more In the Union, living
again under that dear old flag. 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. No doubt many
Southerners who torture their captured men thloJk

The subscriptions to the last of the gold-hearing loans
of the United' States, offered from the United States
Treasury, were closed on Saturday night, and the 26-40
years’ 6 3 cent, loan withdrawn from market. Tim
Treasury will continue before the public the popular
7*30 $ cent, currency loan, tdUh thi convertible privU
lege of accent, gold-bearing stock. 6-20 years, at the
end of three years from the 15th of August last, of thirty
month* from the ensuing 15th of February coupon.
This privilege, with 5-20 year stock, at 110@116 $ cent,
in the market, within which points it will probably
soon range, together with the 7*30 currency interest for
three yens, will make the .Investment almost as de
sirable as the gold-bearing stocks themselves, though
making interest on the latter, in the meantime, because
oftheir limitation until August, 1867, a safe and easy
change upon the customs revenue in gold.
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. We regret to learn that Mr.
Pentoß, the president, has been confined to his house
for two months by sickneis* which has incapacitated
him from the writing of the annual report
The' stock market was somewhat dull yesterday,
prices generally being weak. There was less inquiry
for Government loans, though prices were firm, and for
the s*2Cs a slight advance was realized. State 5s sold
at 92, an advance of I; new City 6s were steady at 97#;
the old were # lower; company bonds were laterally
steady in price; Seeding 6s of *7O sold at 191; North
Pennsylvania 6s at S3#; do 10s at 110; Union Canal in
terest bonds at 20 \ Camden-and Amboy 6s of’7s at 99;
and Elmira 7s at 102#. There were some small lots of
Pennsylvania Railroad 2d mortgage bonds disposed of
at 106, a decline of #. The share list showed vary little
fluctuation. Reading improved a fraction, as also Phi
ladelphia and Erie; Pennsylvania Railroad and Cata
wUsa preferred were a shade lower; Northern Central
sold at §3#, and Norristown at 1%. Coal stocks continue
to attract considerable attention and there were consi
derable sales at bettor quotations. Clinton Coal sold at
1, Big Mountain at 6,. New York and Middle at 9#,
Shamokin at IS#,. Green Mountain at 4#, and Penn
Mining at 11#. Passenger railroad stocks were very
dull. The Oilswere notso much in favor and prices
rule£ lower.
